Plan B: Research - Literature

I went to the Doulos ship on Sunday with my first-born and my sister. It took us 2 hours of waiting before we got onboard. It was hot and stuffy and crowded at the book shop area. So we literally judged the books by their covers and just grabbed anything that took our fancy.

It was all worth it though, as I can now claim that I have performed by first task of putting my ideas into action - buying self-help books. No. It's not one of those chicken shit for the soul crap or any Dr. Phil's solution to world hunger.

Let's just call it part of my research phase.

Now I have some reading to do....

*Blah* Plan B: The Realisation

I've been having such a lousy week. I've been dragging myself out of bed on a daily basis. Work has become so boring and uninspiring. I thought the weekend would never come.

It's about time I put some serious thought (and planning) into my ideas. No point in conjuring up ideas and concepts if they're all just going to stay in my head.

Right...off to the drawing board.

Happy Scrapper

I am on my way to being a semi-professional scrapbooker *says she* - courtesy of Laukong.

Laukong bought *sponsored* me the Sizzix Bigkick Started Kit today (though it did took some effort in convincing him how much I needed it and the future savings I could make in the long-term). To top it all off, he bought me a work desk and a couple of shelves specifically for my scrapbooking.

My so-called scrapbooking corner is still work in progress. Will post pix as soon as it is ready for all to see!

I am a truly happy bunny today.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Ikhlas Daripada,
Puteribelibelah & The Boys

C'est Moi, Therefore I Am

The hypocrite that I am, I have to swallow my own words.

*SIGH*

Here goes - I bought 2 pairs of shoes from C'est Moi.

And no, I still do not - I repeat, DO NOT - condone fake stuff but I had to buy the 2 pairs of shoes.

And no, they weren't the fake Chanel ones or whatever it is that they sell. It is the C'est Moi branded shoes itself.

I shall offer no more explanation why I made those purchases - 'nuff said.

*GULP*

Not Me

I went to this new-ish shop at the Q-Lap Mall the other day - C'est Moi. I almost walked out with a few pairs of shoes. However, the idea of them selling fake designer handbags puts me off BIG time.

Boo to you! C'est Moi. Soooo NOT me!!

Am Leaving on a Jet Plane to Work

So much for excitement and kangen-kangen segala. Got a lukewarm reception from Laukong. I didn't get to the airport on time. Turns out that his flight arrived early and managed to get out - with bags and all - at 9:30 a.m. when it was supposed to land at 9:40 a.m. So this lady of leisure had actually planned on going to the airport at 10 a.m. so confident was she that bloody RBA would never fail to arrive oh-so-fashionably late.

Bah!

Maybe it's not too late to go to work. What a waste of precious leave day. Nuff said.

Tawakal Kerana Kangen

Have I told you that I am addicted to Tawakal? It's been my one addiction for the past 2 months. Admittedly the addiction does help avoid my staying at the office. However, the series has been getting rather annoying lately. It's not an unusual scene to see me screaming my head off to the tv in the hope that it makes some difference to lives of the characters (Kenapa si kamu percaya kata-kata perempuan kebret itu, Do!!!!!!!! Memang kamu cowok yang ingak punya harga diri!!!!!!! Blah...blah...blah...).

I had a long chat with a colleague whom I have not seen in a looooong time last Friday. Our discussion led to the topic of Indonesia. Turns out that we had similar future "plans" (plan being the operative word here people) about Indonesia - well Bali to be precise. *SIGH* A girl can dream...

S'mua kata rindu mu semakin membuat ku tak berdaya...
Menahan rasa ingin jumpa...
Percaya lah pada ku aku pun rindu kamu...
Ku akan pulang...
Melepas smua kerinduan yang terpendam.

Guess who's a happy bunny?????? And why?????? Laukong will be back tomorrow!!

...counting minutes now peeps!!

NYC delivery - here!!!

OMG!!! My bag is sooooo fucking here!!! I was expecting it to come next week. But nevermind, it's here!!! It's here!!! Will take photos and upload soon at the "other" blog. Watch this space.

30 seconds to comply

I am absolutely loving 30 Seconds to Mars' "A Beautiful Lie". Must-listen album of the year. 'Nuff said...

...sorry Linkin' Park. I'm such an infidel.






p/s Dear Jared, I so heart you as a rock star. It suits you more than your so-called life as an actor. Hugs xoxo

NYC delivery - coming soon!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! Just when I thought I felt handbag withdrawal around the corner - Balenciaga NY e-mailed me today!!! It's coming!! It's coming!! I can't wait!!

Want to know what it is? Watch this space....

It's a long, long way to Tipperary

Ok, here's the synch, people. I've been giving this a lot of thought - for the last 3 years or so. I haven't thought about this for a while but now it's all coming back.

I am so in the wrong career. Seriously. Trouble is, how do I take the plunge? I've been buying stuff and surfing for inspiration. I think I know what I want and where I'm heading. However, I'm not sure how or if I have the guts to do. Eeek!

Back in the game

Good God. I can't believe it's been so long since I last blogged. I don't seem to have the time to do any updates. Not that there's much to update except work, work, work.

How sad my life has become. Just came back from a 2-day business trip to Miri. How exciting...*SIGH*

I came back to some goodies I had ordered for the boys and myself. No handbags for me this time. But nevertheless something I have been looking forward to. I must say it did take a while to arrive.

Anyway, working on a public holiday today means that I get to take tomorrow off in lieu, which means I have a 3-day weekend! Hurrah! Hurrah!

I think it's time I revive my scrapping-booking.

Done with 24 and 2

I've finally finished watching 24 Season 6. It took me a while to finish the season. Time has really been such a luxury. Anyhow, it wasn't as good as the previous seasons, I thought.

I also managed to watch The Bourne Ultimatum on Saturday night. It was ok I supposed. It was my sister's birthday as well. So treated the whole family to dinner before that. Got my sister a Prada bag.

Went for a bit of window shopping yesterday but couldn't find anything - or rather anything that fits - to buy. Such is life. These idiot boutiques don't seem to sell anything more than size 2s. I mean who the hell buys (and fits) these clothes? Bloody hell. No wonder the same clothes have been on the racks for months on end. Ijeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

Back in 24

Finally bought the complete Season 6 of 24. So I won't be posting for a while....*sigh*...Jack Bauer....
....amongst other things...Jason Bourne can wait.

In the Midnight Out...

....she cried...WORK, WORK, WORK...

..nuff said.

...actually just woke up from the dead. Always my body's way of saying have a break. On the bright side, it also means that I get to lose weight! Hah!

Plus, long weekend is here!!

P/S Since I have longed owed you an update of my shopping spree (a rather manic one in hindsight), I have decided I shall dedicate a separate blog for it. A spin-off off this one really. Aptly named (even if I say so myself) puteribelibelah: The Inciminating Evidence. So that this one will just be for my random ramblings and any other thoughts that goes through the inner workings of my (sometimes - says she) psychotic mind, one-liner or otherwise. Basically my "smack my bitch up" moments - if you please.

Theme of the Week: One Liners

Looks like my next few entries will be one-liners. I have started work which has left me absolutely NO time to write my blog entries.

Yes...yes, I still owe you evidence of my loot. That is in the pipeline - whenever I can find the time, that is.

Off to bed now...or maybe not. I also owe Harry Potter a date.

One-liner rant

On Pedder in Singapore is soooo OVERRATED!! - nuff said.

Out of Brunei: Lion City

Looks like you may have to wait a bit longer for my NYC loot update. I'm off to Singapore tomorrow for a week with the kids. Yipppeee!!! I'm so excited. I haven't been there since Dubai, and that's like 3 years ago. But I can't be too excited as NY has done some major damage to wallet already.

Unless Chanel has my wishlist bag readily available!! So that's a different story (holding my breath).

Catch up with you soon.

Out of Africa: Home Sweet Home

Yiippppeee!!! I am home, sweet, finally home. I arrived on Thursday after spending a night in Dubai. I managed to squeeze in a visit to my old office and meet with former colleagues. It was kinda nice to be back in a way, although I have not really missed Dubai much.

Most of my time since my homecoming has been spent with the kids. My, how they have grown!! I have missed them so much. I don't know how I managed to survive without them for 3 months.

I have yet to find the time to upload pictures of my NY loot. So the suspense shall remain! I have also came home to some goodies I have previously ordered online waiting for me. So pictures for those will follow soon too.

In the meantime please allow me to indulge in spending some quality time with the kids.
