Happy Merdeka

 
Let no one accuse me of being unpatriotic la. So Happy Merdeka everyone (opps it’s already 12.20… i’m going to edit the publishing time so it would look as if i was waiting impatiently by the clock like a loyal Malaysian).

Here’s some fireworks in conjunction of the national day.
 


 

LOL a new shop opened near the condo a few days ago i think. Well i’m not sure if it’s legal to have fireworks for a pub opening but there you go. Malaysia Boleh!

Arthur’s Day

Arthur's Day

It’s bad enough that the Black Eyed Peas concert in conjunction of Arthur’s Day does not allow Muslims but Arthur’s Day without alcohol??!

Ridiculous!

That’s like having chocolate mousse cake without the chocolate.

So they are going to sell Peel Fresh at the Guinness celebration is it? “An orange toast to Arthur! 250th year, aye aye! Oh look nutritious orange pulps!”. *groan*

And what is the point of the “no bitter sweet brew” rule when only non-Muslims are allowed to attend? Ain’t that contractictive?

There people have no logic, no logic at all.

Insulated Lunch Tote

Insulated Lunch Tote

 
Wow! I still remember what it like was to be back at school and getting new stuffs for the semester. It was fun and exciting time because i love bringing new backpack or new water bottle to school and comparing with friends to see who has got the nicest ones.

Back to school season is the best. Whenever i go shopping i will still look at stationeries and tumblers in glee and excitement. Kids have it good nowadays, school items are getting more and more pretty and colorful compared to my days.

Just look at these insulated lunch tote.

It comes in all designs and colors. In my school days we used to bring lunches in a plastic Tupperware and it gets cold by lunch time. Haha! Now parents can make sure that their kids have a warm and healthy lunch by packing it into pretty insulated lunch tote. Very, very convenient.

Posylane have very cute mint toddler backpack that comes in 2 sizes and nap mats too!

BookFest 2009 Goodies

 
I’m really utterly frustrated today. It’s a small matter but i’m in a bad mood ever since this morning. I thought when i left that bank i’ll be rid of all the bad feng shui but it still haunts me apparently. I wonder if the same situation arised with another financial company i’ll be as short tempered as i am now. I think not.

I’ve dealt with enough problems that this bank had gave me and if it’s not because of my installment warrant a local card i would definitely had terminated all facilities with this company. Argh… as i said it’s a small matter, all i wanted was an explanation on why i’m charged an annual fees when my card is a free for life card with no terms and conditions whatsoever and also to reactivate my online account. So hard meh?! Yeah i know your system always down because i used to work there and i know you won’t get back to me until weeks later when it’s already useless or i’ve already forgotten. Really. Humpf!

Ok let’s talk about happy things now because i need happy thoughts.

I really Finally bought the Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Pothead.. oops i mean Harry Potter books set from the BookFest at convention centre. I’ve been eyeing it for ages and i’m glad i waited for this festival because it’s on sale!

This year’s BookFest was better than the last years’ because they have more English books and it’s much more organized. However, Mr. Bf begs to differ because he couldn’t find any Chinese books worth reading. Too bad for him haha.

Nonetheless, he was grinning from ear to ear after purchasing a RM160 China story book cum stamp book. Geek!

There’s a section of the hall selling China stamps mainly and he found this particular one that’s supposed to be a limited collection.

It’s a book with the chinese history of Water Margin and stamps to commemorate this event.

This particular stamp (below) was published on 1987. It’s supposed to be worth RM80 itself.

I’m really not bothered about China stamps really. I don’t know how to appreciate all those stuff haha.

Towel Wrap for Christmas!

 
Christmas is 4 months away but i’m sure you agree it’s not too early to do some festive shopping. We all know how difficult it is to get the perfect gifts for everyone at the last minute. If you plan now you’ll avoid the crowd and could purchase the stuff you want before it runs out of stock too.

Here are some great gifts ideas that’ll save your time without burning a hole in your pocket.

The towel wrap from posylane.com would be great for family or your partner. The soft mint material shows how much you care plus the designs available are really funky too. It comes in sizes so it fits adults and toddlers. If you are looking for terry towel wrap, they have them too with assorted designs as well.

Actually most things in posylane.com makes great gifts because of their customization option. You can personalized the items with embroideries and the name of the receiver. For example you could make a personal touch with the  personalized duffle bag. Fantastic!

Cube Shape Poo Poo

Cube Shape Poo Poo

 
Ok, you know how obsessed i am about wombats right. I had a post a while ago about that i think. Sis came back from her Aussie trip and bought mom a T-shirt with a picture of a wombat on the front and i’m still sulking because all i got was a bottle of lanolin cream. I would trade it for the wombat T-shirt anytime.

Today, i found out from kyspeak’s tweet that wombat’s droppings are actually cube shaped. I had no idea. It’s so odd!

See for yourself.
