As I was going around searching for X'mas gifts, I saw this tiny cute keyring called 'Forest Ghost' which stated on it's box could bring love and luck. Me being so Donna loved stuffs like this - I loved collecting. I'm amazed with those creative people who creates stuffs like these and make $ out of it. I got it from 'Something Different' gift shop. They have a few kinds and this one is called 'Love Dolls': Sparks of love will never eliminate interest, enjoyment of forever fatal-level gravity-like feeling love. I might buy other series later. It's made in China - you can tell by reading the description at the back of it's little box.
Well, I was at the movies again.... Went to watch Disney's musical 'The Princess and the Frog' today - loved/enjoyed it...so worth watching for you and your family. It's funny and the music is great...the movie soundtrack is a MUST buy! When I read that the movie is gonna be set in the Jazz Age in New Orleans - I already knew the music is gonna be great! Can't wait to buy the dvd for my CJ, I know she's gonna love it too.
Check out the synopsis and the trailer here: THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin” comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG marks the return to hand-drawn animation from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman. One of the voice-over cast is Oprah Winfrey...guess which character(?).
Here's one of my fav song from the movie 'Almost There' sung by Anika Noni Rose (just loved her vocal)
La da di..la da da...Weekend is here again, I hope your weekend will be as fun and exciting as in this picture...beautiful illustration from Mia Overgaard:
Today, I brought a friend to check out some wholesaler shops along Jalan Sinsuran, since she just opened up a little boutique and I know one or two wholesalers selling nice stuffs (e.g. hair accessories, purses, & even bindies). It was cloudless today and it was really damn HOT - lucky me, walking under the hot sun in my condition, I'm considered a starring 'pregnant' lady (aisehman). Anyways, we also went in a shop selling crystals, pearls & gemstones - lots of cool stuffs there too but I'm eyeing for art materials! And so I saw two pretty brooches that looked so classic and CHEAP - just lovely to wear during christmas or any occassions. If any of you out there (especially ladies) would like to buy a piece of this brooch, let me know - the price is RM8 and it comes with a lil bag. See pics here (the white one looks like a snowflake):
Loved that this time of the year is here again - I love December! Watch out for my lovely e-x'mas card soon:) How I wish I could have this kind of 'Angie's' figure - pregnant & sexy...Santa help me out please....wahaha.
Suria Sabah Shopping Mall was officially opened by the Mayor of KK City yesterday. Since both of us are quite flexible with our working hours, my boss and I went to Suria Sabah to check out the also newly opened Metrojaya, the anchor tenant of Suria Sabah (one of my fav retail store)...lots of pretty stuffs there (households, clothes, children section, etc) with some good prices too. The mall is still 70% empty, with only a few stores started operating and it was still bit humid and dusty everywhere. I didn't get to really shop at Metrojaya cos looking at the long que at the cashier made me think twice...oh well I did buy a piece of jewellery, a charming bracelet for about RM23...suppose to be a bday gift for a friend but I think I'm falling for it too - so cute (just look at the pic). I will definitely come back to shop there again sometime soon - need more time to choose & try on some of those pretty dresses (just loved the Somerset Bay Children clothes - for my CJ).
Anyways, my weekend will be - to go see the Charity Christmas Program at Sutera Harbour Resort on Saturday nite, I was given a RM20 voucher - there will be bazaar going on and then on Sunday - singing for my cousin's wedding at the Shangri-La's Rasa Ria Resort's Wedding Pavilion, and IF I have time - to transform these plain notebooks to a creative & unique look. My sis, Debbie done hers.
It's been awhile since I last blogged huh? Same story - it's either I'm too overload at work or lazy/no inspiration to blog. Anyways...I have not being doing much of 'me' time lately (as in doing some creative thingy) - I got tired after spending half a day during the weekends layaning my CJ, since she's becoming more of a fussy pot, a rascal but getting smarter and listening to her singing to tinkerbell's songs. But it's joyful fun just being with CJ!
Well...finally here's photo scan of my baby:) I'm at about 16 weeks preggy and he or she is starting to move actively inside my belly - so happy to know that he/she is growing healthily. I'm trying my best to STOP eating chillies for now (which sometimes I can't help myself) - just to avoid the rashes on the baby's face when he/she comes out in May next year (ha!). By Jan/Feb, I'm looking forward to know on the baby's gender, it's still too soon to tell right now.
I'll be back here soon...looking forward to go watch a movie tomorrow (escape to the cinema again) - New Moon or Ninja Assassin. I still feel the strong impact after watching 2012 - I might take leave on Dec 12, 2012...wakakaka.
Weekend is here again...(TGIF!)and I know for sure I'll be or try to be busy...doing some stuffs like - being invited to sing (2 solos and a duet) for a friend's wedding this Sunday (urgh..I haven't had enough practise yet!), to finish up my company's Committee Meeting Minutes (priority!), if I have time I want to create/design my own MJ's mini white glove key ring (I've bought the embelishments so I've got to do it), ...and then design some greeting cards, watch some movies - The Ugly Truth, My Sister's Keeper, etc, arrange all my books, mags, articles printouts, etc and set up a temporary library corner and activities with Carmen (a must)...I hope!
And as I promise myself I'll put up a picture of my now two weeks old nephew, Arwen. He's adorable and looked so much like his daddy (sorry Chrissie). By the way, his middle name is spelled 'Edel' actually, Chrissie changed her mind. My older bro's nickname is 'DEL', short for Disney Edward Lai.
Well, happy weekend...enjoy yours as I will enjoy mine! Mama Rock love ya people - PEACE!
I have a new nephew - so happy! My younger sister, Chrissie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy yesterday, 20 Oct through c-sect operation after being induced 3 times...I can imagine the pain she had to go through:( Glad that she's such a strong mama! She named her newborn, Arwen Aedell and he's quite a chubby one - he weighs 3.4kg. I kept thinking how cute Arwen is the whole night...can't wait to see him again this weekend. Pictures of him later ya...my digcam was out of battery yesterday so I might grab some pics from my bro Del or Chrissie soon.
Well, here's chrissie & her husby, Joseph before she meletup...
I thought of waiting till the 1st trimester (3 months) is over to reveal this...okay..here goes my share...I'm about 7 weeks pregnant now with my 2nd one. I'm still having that so called 'morning sickness' but not too bad....and sometimes I have 'evening sickness' (funny). Anyways, both husby and I are excited and happy that our Carmen will have a little sister or brother again by next year (expected due date - 1 day after Carmen's bday but will see?) I missed wearing those high heels but what to do I've to wear flatties now - sigh.
