Just Some Highlights in Photos

Too busy (shopping?) to blog lately, so I posted most of my photos at my Instagram account. Here are just some photos, hoping they speak a thousand words!

 

Offshore Trip (First time taking a crewboat and living on an accommodation vessel!)





View from my seat of the crewboat leaving to the platform...
(Which I sat for only 5 mins before I wandered around the boat haha)

Swish swash swish swash~

When you're the only lady on the boat, you always get the best treatment!

I unfortunately deleted many of the photos from my phone, so most of it can be found only in Instagram haha.


 



 

In Love with Randall

I showed my dad the photo of the batik shirt I wanted to get him and he liked it, so after I cut-short my mengaji session (the ustad was surprised that I suddenly wanted to stop haha) and went for lunch at Busana (again! but this time I knew I wanted to eat Laksa Utara), I dropped by Noor Arfa to purchase it. Of course, something caught my eye when I was there, a long flowy cotton top (long below the knee) which I have no idea when or where I'm gonna where it. But it was nice. Hehe.

It's so nice and soft and flowyyyy.... (Notice I changed the label? Isn't it cute?)

After work I went over to Sacoor Brothers to collect my jeans I bought last week. Unfortunately it was still a bit long so I had to get it altered again. And wait another week. Again. Did I tell you that Sacoor Brothers is having an opening sale, storewide 30% off, buy two or more - 40% off! Of course the starting price is expensive, in fact I don't think I've ever purchased any SB stuff at the original price, but the quality is good. Plus, they always give you a "Happy Days" coupon which entitles you to more discounts the next time around. Not all Happy Days are worth, sometimes the sale has more to offer so you have to do your own calculations. But Happy Days are one of the reasons I keep coming back. As usual I was offered coffee and chocolate but I opted for Evian only and left the choc alone.

They pamper you with free coffee and Ferrero Rocher choc... How can you not love this store?

After that I went to pray and met up with the BF and had teppanyaki for dinner.

Yes while he was being the goody and berdoa, I happily snapped a photo!

We dropped by BCBG just to see if there were any other interesting items on sale but nothing attracted me, either that too expensive. Hehe. So we made our way to his car, for me to collect Randall...

What's in here? What's in here?

Wait for it....

Wait for it....

Tadaa!!! Say hello to Randall!

Ok, so the photos above don't really tell much. Randall is my new pair of blue pants. I reserved this on Wednesday last week because the sale started on Thursday - love the sales assistant who told me about it. But I was afraid they'd release it so I got the BF to go get it. Hehe. I don't know what material it is (haven't checked the label), but it sure as hell is soft and comfy and flowy. It's a size XS, i.e. I cannot grow any fatter than I am right now. It's a bit long unless I wear it constantly with 5" heels, which I won't so I'm getting it shortened by one of 'em tailors in Campbell. I just love the way it looks and feels, totally worth the RM350 I paid for it (and that's after 50% off!), so much so that I'm thinking of getting the white version of Randall. Although, I would have to check on its transparency, if it's really white or off-white... But then again, I don't have an off-white pants yet.........

Outfit of the day : Bag - Coach, Top - MNG, Pants - Executive (old), Heels - Manolo Blahnik

Hehe. What are you waiting for? Go check out Sacoor Brothers and BCBG now!

Coach, Lunch and Noor Arfa Batik

I arrived at work quite early for some reason there wasn't much traffic. Called Tasha up but she hadn't even left her house yet. So I just waited at the office, had breakfast (packed Mommy's yummy mihun goreng!) and dropped off my safety shoes to be fixed. After chowing down breakfast I got a whatsapp from Tasha telling me to drop by her room to pick up....

Say hello to my new Coach Kristin Leather Hobo!

Nice kan? kan? kan?

She got this when she went for training in US middle of the year along with other bags but I only decided to get this bag recently. Great that she doesn't need the money, so it's payable when able! (Well not really but she did give an installment.)

Had been wanting to try the new foodcourt at the new MARA building, Busana. It's a new "mall" which is connected to a new hotel too. Not sure if there are new offices too. I hope the mall doesn't turn out to be a flop.

My nasi campur was pretty expensive, RM5 for 2 types of vege, nasi separuh and a few stalks of lady's fingers. And of course me being greedy, I went over to the other stall to get a small piece of ikan pari for RM 3.

Now of course, the real intention I dragged my colleagues out there for lunch was so that I could drop by the Noor Arfa Batik boutique. Unfortunately it was getting late and the rest of the lunch group weren't really interested so we went off not buying anything. They drifted to another shop on the same floor but I had to go to the bank so I went down via the escalator... where I found the promotion buntings of Noor Arfa "Ask for special discount!", "Only RM10 for membership and you get 40% off!".

Me being a sucker for cheap marketing, of course fell for that trap. I didn't go immediately back up the escalator (it wasn't working so I could go up and down freely) since I was rushing to get to the bank, but of course those buntings lingered in my mind for the rest of the day. I made a deal with myself to complete my work for the day before I go back to the store by 7PM (I called them up to check what time they closed). I managed to finish by 6.30PM and hurried over to Busana. Before even stepping into the store I already asked the sales girl how do I sign up as a member. Heheh. There were 3 ladies working there out of which one was friendlier than the two. The two were practically stuck to the cashier counter, but at least one of them later went around the store when a few makciks came in. And she did help me tie the pareo. Ah yes. What did I purchase?

Cotton Kaftan top, Silk Kaftan Top with Long Sleeves, Pareo - Noor Arfa Batik

The silk pareo was the most expensive retailing at RM279 but of course with the 40% off, it went down to a more acceptable price. Haha. I wanted to get my dad a shirt since he couldn't find one at the KT airport the other day, but I wasn't sure if he'd like the pattern. So I snapped a photo of the shirt to show him at home.

Went home, trying to hide the purchase and bag from my mom but kantoi-ed halfway. She didn't do her usual Pegawai Kastam check though, so I was lucky. Heheh.

Can't wait to wear the cotton kaftan top at Phuket! What about you? Do you like batik?

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha

Went to my aunt's place at Kuala Terengganu for Raya Haji. It has been awhile since we really celebrated Raya Haji so it was quite a big thing for us. Plus this year my family did a korban.

I didn't plan on watching the slaughter coz I pity the cow, but I had to send the camera to my dad so ended up watching. Behind a tree. Haha. I still think they could've handled the cow better.

We stayed at Tanjong Vista Hotel for 3 nights. We took the Superior Deluxe room and it was quite decent. Clean and neat, think the hotel is quite new. Hope they maintain it. It could do with a sofa set or something. And perhaps a slightly larger TV. Haha. You won't be spoilt for choice for breakfast, but honestly, tell me can you really eat ALL the food spread out at a hotel breakfast buffet like Mandarin Oriental? The only thing I didn't fancy was the sweetness of everything! (Well except for the porridge and its salty condiments.) But that is expected out of the north-east states, Terengganu and Kelantan.

The korban was on Friday, but we had kenduri on Saturday. We didn't really feel as though we were celebrating on Friday coz everyone seemed to be busy preparing for Saturday. (Ok my sister and I just lazed around and washed up some dishes)

Outfit for Day 1 : Shawl - Dirs Gallery, Kaftan - Jalan TAR, Heels - Vincci - old, Bag - old

Nasi Goreng Tanjong, Tomyam Seafood, Chicken Wings, Char Kuey Teow. Yumm!!

 We came back in the evening and I took a ride with Shahrul to town. Went to Mydin to buy some stuff. Mydin Mall mind you. Haha. Since we were too lazy to get out for dinner, my sister and I ordered room service.

We woke up on Saturday and had this view from our window. 

Beautiful. Unfiltered. Masha Allah.

Outfit for Day 2 : Shawl - Dirs Gallery, Kaftan - Pasar Buluh Kubu, Kota Baru, Necklace - Diva, Bangle - part of a set from Rubi

 Day 2 was also spent lazing around and a bit of eating. Then came the time to shop!! Or at least I thought so. I went to the much-hyped Pasar Payang but came back empty handed! Amazing right! I found the starting prices were more than Pasar Buluh Kubu in Kelantan (where I dropped by after my Perhentian trip here) and perhaps it was the crowd and all that didn't appeal to me. It could've been because it was festive season the prices went up, or perhaps it's more commercialized than PBK. Anyway, I think I have spent enough in KL to not have to spend in KT. Or so I thought.

I woke up to this view on Sunday.

Another beauty. Unfiltered.

Packed up, had breakfast, went to the airport, and got my dad to buy me this. Teeheehee~

Cotton Kaftan Top - Noor Arfa Batik

Well, technically Dad volunteered. I said the sleeves are too short for me to wear outside and I didn't want to wear anything on the inside as it will spoil the look. He told me to wear it at home and I was like "So expensive to wear at home!". He said I should wear nice things at home instead of my normal shabby tshirts or singlets and frayed shorts. Haha. So he paid RM60 and I paid the RM9 balance. Hehehe. Can't believe I still have the conning art in me still. I also got myself a Batik Painting Kit for RM20. Not sure when will I actually paint it though. Hahah.

Well that pretty much sums up Raya Haji! Thanks for reading and hope you had a wonderful Raya Haji. Someday I hope to actually get to perform the Hajj, but for next year, my target's Umrah and korban a whole cow. InsyaAllah :)
