CRAZY  
Since the last few years of my working days, I have been obsessed with most of the MIMPIKITA's collections. But unfortunately, I just can't afford to buy any of those. Haihh. And... I am quite surprised to say that the highlight of my week has been doing online shopping at FASHIONVALET.COM. Hehe. They're now having a sale, up to 20% off until 16 November 2014. So apa lagiii, go grab yours!
Having said all that, it is finally, A BUY. Hehe. So, I'll be wearing the kebaya top above when attending my friends' graduation ceremony in January. Harap-harap muat la. Jenuh pulak nanti nak kena alter kat sini. Hehe.   I also settled down on a Petra top in orange which is not technically going to be worn here in the UK, tapi nak pakai on my first day at work. Ahaks. Tak tahu nak start kerja tu bila, but one can always dream. Hehe. Welllll, this is one of the signs of going back for good, maybe. OMG. Nak balik dah ke aku ni? Tak puasss! Tak nak balik please. Hahaha. Sooooo lupa daratan kau ni. 
And I also bought this Kay El pullover for my winter vacation too! Hehe. How appropriate and universal. One more sign of missing Kay El perhaps? Haha. Not reallyyyyy. Tapi maybe I just miss malay decent food. Laksa, nasi kerabu, nasi dagang, nasi berlaukk haih banyaknya. Haha.
Last but not least, dress kat atas ni pun I bought from Fashionvalet and my friend brought all the way from Malaysia demi untuk #OOTD! Hahaha. ;p. Gigihness detected. Doesn't look like I bought a lot, no? Hehe.
Clearly, I'm predictable. Hiks. And right now, it's half past two and I'm going to have a bowl of maggi tom yam. Yummms. Happy Friday loveliessss.

ITEMS FOR SALE FROM THE UK I have never had so much free time since I started working 5 years back. But these few weeks or maybe months, are one of those moments that I would love and cherish. Last year today, I was sooo busy doing tax computations for my clients, 24/7 working, and now I am sooo free I don't know what to do. How these two years has matured me. Somehow, it's amazing to see change. And it makes me happy just by thinking it's been oh so long that things start being abandoned, flashback for the past few years when it was all so very different. Hmm panjangnya kau membebel! Hehe. Anyway, I'm selling few things from the UK to kill my time and yes to generate some income too! Hehe. Second batch of the items will be shipped to Malaysia on 9 July 2014. So, please check this FB link HERE to view the details of the items. Second batch mainly consist of Clarks shoes, Tommee Tippee, Ted Baker bag and stroller for baby. Hehe. So far, I've sent back home Longchamp Le Pliage handbags which I bought in Paris and MasyaAllah the response was amazing. Hehe. Thanks ladies! And I'll be going to Paris again next month so just watch out for that. 
Yours truly spotted wearing Clarks in Paris, something I was comfortable enough to wear all day when travelling. Hehe. Sometimes, I miss wearing 4 inch stilettos to work. Sobs. I really do miss my working life though.

UNDER THE WEATHER 
Lots of thoughts going through my mind nowadays. Hmmm. But it's nice to finally have a day off. Like today. Had grilled salmon for sahur and maybe later this evening we'll be going out to get some fresh air. Jogging! Haha grilled SALMON katanya, sooo orang putih. Walhal kau sekarang teringin nak makan ikan kembung. Sobs. Kalau dah namanya #villagepeople kan. Hahaha.
And lately, its been a cycle of unusual time zone. The obvious problem here is the VERY long fasting days in the UK. Sobs. Macam tadi, subuh starts at 2.36am and maghrib nanti pukul 9.10pm. 19 hours uols! Mampoo tak? Anyway, one day left then I'm done. Boleh raya dah! Hehehe. This year, Ramadhan is taking place during summer. Longer fasting period but can't wait to experience that.    
And I am nowww fresh from a bout of guilty shopping! VERY guilty shopping. I love MAC but used to wonder what the hype was. Hehe. Since I have been wanting to have a pink lipstick so bad, its about time to buy. Haha.
 This is throwback, my make up professionally done for Utusan photo shoot last year. They were using MAC and I feel bad sebab I can't afford to have all MAC make up. Sobs. Hehe saja letak gambar ni sebab dengar kata ada orang nak tubik Utusan in 2 weeks time? Untunglah kau #anokkelatedibirminghae. Kat sini pun ada media carik katanya? Kekeke. Pengsan. And I bought Pandora charms a lot lately. Sobs. As evidenced, here's my Pandora bracelet. Look at all the colours, clearly I'm predictable kan. Hehe. Oh gosh I shop like crazy, I should stop. And nowww, I need my job pronto.  I miss the stability that living in Malaysia gave me. I knew exactly what everything was, where everything was, and I was in control. Life since I've moved just isn't the same. And recently, I feel a bit under the weather. Sometimes I had irregular heart beats. My heart is beating hard and fast. Depression maybe? Ataupun panic attack nak exam? Or too much caffeine? I don't know. But one of my house mates suggested to drink lemon tea which I did. 
Have a great weekend ahead, everyone. Mine would be hectic and I just need to stay focus on my studies now. My first exam will start on 2 June 2014. Sobs.
 Bought fresh flowers for just 1£ after class 2 days ago and flowers really do make me happy. They are so EFFORTLESSLY beautiful. :') Here's hoping tomorrow's a better day. Never think that any request you have is too much for Allah SWT. He says BE it, and IT IS. Kun Fayakun. Do not limit the limitless. Labels: LIFE IN THE UK, Random, Shopping, Student, United Kingdom

BIG BAD WOLF 2013   The Big Bad Wolf book sale is back baby! And it was my first time experience hunting books during midnight, 2.00am. Surpised at the crowd. Ramainya! Thanks to my baby brothers temankan kaklong shopping books and being so gentleman bawakkan my shopping bags. I was not even asking ;p. Hahaha. Love you guys so muchie muchie. Details as below;  6 - 15 December 2013 Open 24 hours Mines International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC), next to Mines Seri Kembangan Parking RM2 (weekday), RM3 (weekend)I'm not really the bookworm type of person. Jadinya, takde lah banyak sangat pun buku yang dibeli malam tadi. Ada orang siap bawak trolley bag bagai. Mampoo. Mampu tengok je lah. Hahaha. Walaupun sebenarnya, you really should have read a lot Fida. Like seriously. Haha. Sebab jenis yang banyak benda tak tahu ok. Sobs. Takut nak check IQ level sendiri. Bahaha.  So, books are discounted mostly 75-95%. Semua pun murah lah. Rambang mata. RM3, RM5, RM10, RM15, RM30. Gitu je range dia. Jamie Oliver dalam RM30. Mula-mula macam nak beli, tapi bila tengok bahan-bahan yang dia guna macam payah je, tak pernah dengar pulak tu, then lupakan je lah. Bukannya kau nak masak pon! Tapi kan, the reason why I went to Big Bad Wolf ni pun sebenarnya nak cari cook books. Hehehehe. Persediaan untuk tahun depan katanya.  My favorite section of all adalah TRAVEL! Hehe. I had so much fun browsing! Best! Kalau boleh macam nak beli semua all countries, tapi duit is my constraint. Sobs. Banyak sangat nak pakai duit lately ni. Mana nak kena buat student visa la, study preparations la and my still pending travel plans. Semoga Allah permudahkan segala urusan :). 
And... these books are all mine now. Yeay!
 I bought 10 Pocket Guide, sebab senang nak kira, RM3 each. Tapi, kalau dah yang jenis malas nak check dua tiga kali ni, Andalucia tu terambik 2! Hahahaha. I didn't even notice sampaila dah upload picture ni kat Instagram and ada orang lain yang perasan. Hehe.  So this book will be my bed time story. We will be going to HK next year. Hopefully sempat la pergi, takut tiket flight pergi study ni earlier than my HK trip. But I try to adjust that. Tapi tulah, Allah sebaik-baik perancang. We plan, but Allah is the best of planners.  Nicholas Sparks will always be my favorite author. Most of cerita dia sad ending, and I'm a sucker for sad story :).  Hehe. So curious, terpaksa beli. Men and women just can't read each other right. Kan. Hahaha. Macam-macam.  To be given to that someone who just promoted as manager :)  And this is my favorite book. 1001 days out. Your comprehensive guide to the best attractions in the UK! Can you guys guess now where I'll be going to further my study next year? :))) Goodnight lovelies. Labels: Random, Shopping, Travel
PRE-ORDER Saja nak iklan kat sini. I'm going to Barcelona next month, so I'm taking orders now. Hehe. I'm soooo broke and I must do something! Haha. I'll be going to LA ROCA VILLAGE OUTLET, so please visit the respective labels online (Burberry, Michael Kors, Furla, Coach, Clarks, just to name a few) and send your order to me via fidajacob@gmail.com on or before 10 September 2013.

And it seems that history is about to repeat itself. Beg guni akan digunapakai kembali. Kali ni not in Heathrow Airport, tapi dekat Istanbul Ataturk Airport. We'll see how. Drama airport akan terjadi lagi. Hahaha.
 Good night. Labels: Barcelona, Europe 2013, Shopping

So anyway, shopaholic alert! 
Mega sale is back baby! I bought another boots for my another trip. Hehe. And few pairs of shoes sebab murah sangat sampai pening.

KOREA GRAND SALE 2013 - PART II 
I was supposed to attend training today (Monday; March 4), tapi... I was on medical leave. Sobs.
I woke up at 6.15am, tapi mata macam tak boleh bukak, sangat sakit. Bengkak, berdenyut semua ada. My right eye hurts really bad. Hmmm. Jumpa doctor and she said I got an eye sty. KETUMBIT la senang cerita. Hahaha. Buruk bunyinya. Dah tua-tua ni kena ketumbit, ko pi mengintai siapa? Keke. So my friend said; KETUMBIT MADE IN TAMBUN!Hahahahhaa. It is my first time dealing with this ketumbit, so how long will it last? A week? 2 weeks? Sobs. 
But then, one of my friends cakap, ketumbit is "IN" now, so not to worry hahahaha. Ishh. Last year, kena chicken pox. Macam-macam. Dah tua-tua ni kena ketumbit la, chicken pox la. So not cool ok. Hehe.
Enough of membebel, haritu dah stori mori pasal KOREA GRAND SALE 2013 - PART I, jom sambung Part II pulak.  LOCATION : MYEONGDONG SHOPPING HEAVEN Masa mula-mula pergi Korea, I stayed in Gangnam, tapi masa tu Gangnam belum popular lagi. So, memang quite bosan la duduk sana. Nak pergi Seoul downtown lebih kurang 45 minit naik subway. Tu belum campur sesat barat and belum campur nak kejar last train and belum campur tak boleh nak extend masa shopping. In the end, memang kena tahan taxi sebab pukul 2 pagi baru settle menyoping. Hahah. Girls will always be girls. 2nd and 3rd time in Korea, no more Gangnam Gangnam walaupun tempat dia adalah sangat high end dan oppa-oppa adalah sangat banyak kat area sana. Cuci mata tu boleh, nak menyoping memang nan hado. Mahal. Oleh sebab itu, my favorite place to stay in Korea adalah Myeongdong! Hehe. Ada apa dengan Myeongdong ni? Meh kita tengok satu-satu.  Samsung Note / Samsung Note II hard case  Samsung S III hard case   Samsung S II hard case   iPhone 5 hard case  iPhone 4 / iPhone 4s hard case Price range between 5,000KRW - 20,000 KRW. Tengok la design macam mana yang kita pilih. Still murah lagi dari Malaysia. Samsung Note cover kalau kat Malaysia dalam lebih kurang RM80 - RM100. Kat Korea sana boleh dapat dalam RM30. Hehe. Syok. Rasa macam nak beli semua colour, tapi tak tahu kenapa bila dah bawak balik Malaysia, yang ada semua pink. Different tone jah. Haih. Yang lain tu my siblings punya. Beli macam nak buat makan je hard case tu, punyalah banyak. Tsk tsk. Ada yang I beli for my friends as gifts jugak. Hehe. 
Hehe So Ji Sub oppa calendar. My sister punya. So cute kan. Tapi tobat la, penat dah pakai calendar macam ni. Last year I bought Korean calendar and letak kat office. Jenuh sangat nak check public holiday. Dalam tu sah-sah public holiday Korea je yang ada. Hahahaha. So, pakai je lah calendar yang client bagi. Senang nak cari cuti mana yang available. So Ji Sub ni ada cafe jugak tau nama dia A TWOSOME PLACE. Hari-hari singgah sebab sebelum nak sampai guest house, memang kena lalu cafe dia ni. So nak tak nak, terpaksa lah masuk minum kopi barang secawan dua. Hehe.
 
Snail repair eye cream and collagen eye patch. Hehe. Iols tengah mengalami proses penuaan la uols! Hahaha. Takkan nak cucuk tang sana, cucuk tang sini kan. So kita beli anti wrinkle eye cream je lah. Sebenarnya nak mencari anti eye bags, tapi tak jumpa! I have really bad eye bags. And now bengkak pulak ketumbit kan. Haha memang sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga. Lepas satu, satu.
  
Mask sheet. Yang ada gambar-gambar retis tu FOC. Masuk je mana-mana cosmetics shop, memang akan dapat. Harga untuk mask sheet ni 10,000 KRW, 20 mask sheets. So lebih kurang RM1.50 sekeping.
Benda-benda mengarut, hehe. Hand and body lotion ni bau dia wangi sangat, so terpaksa beli. Soothing gel ni pulak, pakai setahun pun tak habis-habis. Haha. Punya lah banyak dalam tu. And Yogurt mask, belum sempat nak try lagi.
Kalau siapa-siapa yang pergi Korea, sila beli Sleeping Mask from Laneige ni. Sangat-sangat bagus ok!!! Highly recommended. Pakai and tidoq. Esok bangun cuci.
Makeup pun boleh kalau nak borong sebab murah. Lipstick and blusher tu from Etude. Sangat cute, so terpaksa beli. Hehe. Eye-liner dalam 2,000 KRW. RM6 je. Haha. BB cream pun best. Takde dalam gambar, but I bought one BB cream.
  
Antara free gifts yang dapat. Yang atas dearberry ni kapas muka. Senang, boleh bawak pergi travel. Salah satu sebab suka masuk kedai cosmetics kat Korea ni sebab free gifts. Haha. Miniature cute little things.
Oklah itu je. Nanti sambung lagi. Antibiotik is mengantuks. Hmmm, ketumbit really hurts. :( Labels: Korea 2013, Myeongdong, Shopping
