Learning to Cycle

Did you know that there’s a bicycle shop at Desa Parkcity which offers rental service for bicycles? Oh, i’ve noticed that shop since long ago but i didn’t know they offered bicycle rentals till recently when they hung a big “bicycle for rental” sign. That really caught my eyes.

Being a typical city slicker, i don’t know how to cycle (never knew and never tried) and don’t know how to swim until recent years. Growing up in the city with no easy access to the beach or even pool and no danger-free place to cycle without getting harassed by passing vehicles in additional to over-protective parents makes a very dull childhood… or maybe it’s just me haha.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a bicycle so yesterday instead of our usual walk around the park, we paid he cut-throat price of RM10 per hour (a four-wheeler for 2 person cost a hefty RM25 per hour!) and got myself a pink bicycle.

I had no idea learning how to ride was so difficult! After a full hour of pedaling and falling and sweating i still don’t know how to do it. The boyfriend is a lousy teacher and i, an even worst student which rewarded me with blistered palm, muscle ache, an extremely sore buttock and zero riding skills. Seating on hard surface is a pain today and i’m walking like a duck.

It’s funny too to see the expression on the boyfriend’s face when he come to realize this is also the way i drive a car – no coordination, no patience and sheer panic!

Shopping Goodies from Bali

Woot! I’m back from Bali. It was good fun but i had not expected the price of stuff there to be similar to Malaysia.

We arrive there millionaires (in rupiah of course) but came back a pauper LOL. Didn’t even have enough money to get a decent McD meal at the airport fml, so we had to resort to instant noodle on board the plane which thank god could be paid with Malaysian ringgit.

Right now i’m composing the many photos we took with the borrowed DSLR. Yes, we borrowed the camera from the boyfriend’s boss one day before we left for Bali. We were being so smug and so sure of ourselves that we didn’t even practice or tinkered with the camera settings. So being DSLR virgins and all, most of the photos ended up blurry or off angle hahaha!

I have to admit that DSLR is really handy. It snaps photos really quick and the detail it captures is awesome. I’m beginning to understand why people prefer it to normal digital camera. However, i’m not going to jump on the bandwagon and get myself a DSLR because it’s kind of a pain to carry around something so bulky all the time.

But i’m definitely going to miss it come this Monday when we return the camera and i’m back to taking dull photos with my digi cam :(

So as i was saying, the things in Bali aren’t as cheap as i thought it would be and there wasn’t lots of variety in Kuta. Every stall is selling the same stuff which didn’t appeal to us. Ubud was better because there were more choices and the prices are definitely lower.

There were loads of crafts selling at the Ubud market. I liked the rattan baskets a lot but decided not to get them because they were huge and i haven’t got the slightest idea what to do with them when we get them back to Malaysia. I’ll fly to Bali to get the baskets and other wooden decorative for the future house next time :)

Mini basket

I got this instead in a shop in Kuta area. To keep my earrings :).

It’s really funny that we went all the way to Bali thinking of getting some nice and cheap stuff but we ended up shopping at Discovery Mall which is equivalent with the malls we have at home.

Here’s the merchandises i bought for myself which i absolutely adore.

I just realize from looking at this photo that they are color coordinated!

Shopping goodies

The “He Just Farted” t-shirt is like so cute. I heart!

It’s now my favorite top. The back of the t-shirt says “Smell it?” Hahahaha. Poor boyfriend, people keep pointing and laughing at him in public now LOL.

My fav t-shirt!

Yeah, and i finally bought a Coach bag!!! Well, technically the boyfriend paid for it – it’s a birthday gift and i’m loving it.

I’m loving it!

See my satisfied and contented face? :P

Coach Sabrina Madison 12937 in ROSE

Of all the places i succumbed to my obsession at the Denpasar airport. I couldn’t help it once i saw the rose pink design.

It’s about RM200 less than retail price in KL so that makes me feel less guilty :(.

But now we are staying home on weekends and trying to spend less to cover our bills and make up for splurging on our future-home-fund… and start thinking about the next trip to somewhere LOL.

Where Do i Get This?

Where.to.get.this.bag??

Coach Sabrina Madison 12937 in ROSE.

Ok, i actually don’t remember the actual color because i’ve been staring at Coach bags so long and they have so many shades of pink and cherry and magenta and wtf else color that i’m confused now.

But the one i saw was definitely rose which i think is something like the picture above.

China site have one labeled pink rose which looks like it but you can’t really trust the color they put online right? And what’s with pink rose? Pink is pink. Rose is rose la!!!

i’m sorry i’m acting like a crazy woman but i’m obsessive like that.

I saw this in the mall in the weekend and it looked awesome. Well there was only one and it the color was rose and but it’s like so expensive in the actual Coach store that i’m determined not to buy it there. Not that i can’t afford it lar ~~because i’m a multi-millionaire~~ but i’m very the cheapskate like that.

Why pay for the extra when you can get a better bargain right?

But why the effing hell is it so hard to locate this particular color???!!!

Maybe i’m going to the mall to try it on again just for the fun of it. Gawd i’m so cheapskate la.

Fickle as a Pickle

Oooo that rhymes. I’m so good at this ahaha.

Ok here’s the problem. Remember the Coach bag and phone tug of war thingy?

I found a site offering super low price for a Coach tote that i kind of like. Which means i have no idea to get the Coach bag which i kind of like or the Fossil bag that i’m not sure i don’t like. Both around the same price.

Then there’s the thing with choosing a mobile phone. I’m super fickle and picky. Now i have on one hand e72 which i think i really like and on the other hand there is the 6600i which i am passive about but the boyfriend likes it and it’s almost have the price of e72.

So do i get the

1) Coach + e72 = a very happy smiley me :) :) :) :) + utterly guilt ridden for blowing the “future home fund” and boyfriend’s chance of getting the Milestone :( :( :( :(

2) Coach + 66100i = happy me :) :) :) + guilt free :)

3) Fossil + e72 = happy smiley me i think :) :)

4) Fossil + 66100i = kind of happy i think T_T

So apa macam?

I’m not posting the pic of the bags because people are so judgmental lar of other people’s taste muahaha. i’m going to post once i have decided ok.

Dilemma

This is why people says i’m geeky and not girlish nor feminine enough for my own good… and is the reason why the boyfriend and i are so compatible. He’s 99% geek while i’m.. well 80% maybe?

Given a choice between a spanking new Coach bag or a new mobile phone, any other female would jump on the wagon and paddle to the nearest Coach store. But no! Geeky me spent a whole week contemplating the dilemma and still have not reach a decision.

Yes, i spent the whole CNY thinking about this very difficult choice. I was thinking about the phone and the bag while i dropped my chopsticks in the yee sang :P.

Girls don’t kill me please >.<

So, i posted the question on facebook and Patrick had super advise that goes something like

“You should get the Coach because phones are of no value unless your phone is really so obsolete so it doesn’t goes well with the new bag”

Great suggestion, no? The problem is both my phone and my bag is like super dinosaur-kindoff obsolete lor. So how?

coach-bags

Then i realized i still have a teeny weeny bit of bimbo sense in me when i decided to get a bag instead. That and because all the female member of my family and female friends has been whacking my head telling me how stupid i am not to get a Coach.

But guess what? Now that i had a look at the whole bag collection, i think i would rather get the phone. What the hell is so nice about Coach bags?!

So now it’s either the phone or this pretty thing Emma Watson is carrying on her shoulder.

Burberry Autumn/Winter 2009 Collection

Burberry past season collection is still for sale or not???!

Ok fine. I’m 70% geek, 30% bimbo.

I Finally Learnt How To Swim

Yes yes yes!!

I learnt how to swim

after 3 trips to the pool
in total less than 6 hours
without proper swimming attire
without goggles
without nose clips
without a floating board
without a coach! (got lar from someone who just learned how to swim himself -_-”)

My swimming attire – East India halter top (it’s not a swimming suit!), pasar malam shorts!

My lousy EatAllYouCanShung coach

My equally lousy BlurryHunniee synchronize swimming partner *yeah right!

I figured that i’m so fickle minded that i would quit after 1 trip to the pool. I didn’t wanted to waste getting a swimming suit or other swimming stuffs. *wakaka. But i proved myself wrong! Now on my 4th trip, i could swim almost half the pool! *don’t jeer me lar. Half pool also very keng liao ok!

Champion! I’m da MAN…oops…i mean WOMAN! Hi fi!! Uhm… chest bump anyone?
