Birthday gift from colleagues

Thanks so much to my bunch of colleagues!! They got me my birthday gift! So shhwwweeeeettt!

Rock Chic passed it to me at 5pm sharp and left immediately. LOL her face was damn pai seh and dodgy! She "threw" a paper bag to me and said "Nah! Happee Birthday!" and left.

So I took a look inside the bag and saw this:

White digital watch

LOL! Yes I need a watch cos both my watches were battery-dead for more than 6 months... And I was basically watch-less for 6 months. Apparently, hubby helped Rock Chic out and let her know that I need a watch.

But take a look at the watch they gave me!! Hahaha the thoughts that ran in my head at that moment was "When am I gonna wear this? Fridays?" and also "What clothes should I match this with?"... I was really thinking hard.

Then I looked in the bag and saw this card:

Birthday card

It was definitely a cute and very meaningful card! I love it so much! So much words and wishes in the card. Am so touched!

I was supposed to meet hubby in KLCC to go for birthday dinner. As I was walking to KLCC, I saw this other envelope in the bag:

The REAL gift

Yes, check out the message: "Ini barulah hadiah betul!! TIU!"

Hahaha I was tricked! I thought the white digital watch was the pressie but then again, it was just sneaky gimmick they played on me.

Now what is in the envelope?

Isetan vouchers

The real pressie is Isetan gift vouchers!! Why?! Because they gave me this so that I can purchase the watch that I like and want from Isetan myself. The thing about vouchers is that it gives you the freedom to buy anything you fancy. Instead of spending money on buying something that the birthday person might not like, vouchers actually eliminate this from happening.

Since I was in KLCC, I went to Isetan straight to check out the watch section. Truth be told, I've already kinda know which one I want because I really needed a watch. So I went to Isetan and they were having sale. Why wait?! I bought it straight!

Esprit watch casing

Ta-da! My new Esprit watch! I got a strap-watch and it's brown in color. I didn't want something fancy or anything bling-bling. Just need it to be big and simple... And I found it! I can now tell the time without referring to my phone or asking anyone.

My new Esprit watch

Of course, I still keep my white digital watch! It's very useful to be worn to clubs because it will light up when you press a button! Fancy!

Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks heaps to my charming colleagues and ex-colleagues! I really treasure the effort and all the wishes! Me luv you all! *sob sob*

Trésor in Love

This is a pressie for myself for my birthday this year - Lancôme latest perfume, Trésor In Love


Adapted from the official Lancôme website:

Twenty years ago, Lancôme created a unique perfume which became a Legend of Haute Parfumerie: Trésor. Today, Lancôme reveals Trésor In Love and writes a new story;the treasured moment when everything starts, a liberated spirit of romance conveyed with floral notes... Both luminous and vibrant, sensual and radiant, Trésor in Love is a soaring hymn to love. The heroine of Trésor in Love lives her love story with a desarming spontaneity. Just like the mixed feelings of a young woman in love, when the infinite sweetness of the meeting becomes confused with the intensity of the feelings, the juice of Trésor in Love was made with many constrasts: a new irresistible floral, composed of a touch of nectarine and wood of cedar, a characteristic rose and a bright jasmine. Object of desire with slender lines, the bottle of Trésor in Love delivers a resolutely modern energy, like an essence of today. A black satin rose adorns the bottle like a lucky charm around the neck.


I LUV LUV this perfume! This Trésor In Love perfume is a touch of nectarine, and wood of cedar. A characteristic rose and a bright jasmine compose this irresistible floral fragrance.


Hubby got his aunt's help to obtain the staff price for this perfume. This 30ml bottle is a limited edition and I got 30% discount. From RM165, I got this baby at RM115! LOL!

The word Trésor means "Treasure" in French. Now, this little precious is my treasure. I'm so in love with my Trésor!

July babies birthday celebration

Last Friday, my colleagues arranged a birthday lunch for me at Madam Kwan's, Pavilion. Kudos go to Rock Chic as she's the host (lap you!). Since we have very strict lunch hour to abide to, not much pictures taken. These are just some of the food pictures taken.

Lunch @ Madam Kwan's, Pavilion

At about 4.45pm, we have the July babies birthday celebration. We have this custom every month whereby we celebrate the birthdays for that particular month on one of the Fridays in the month.

I found out that my colleague, Pi Yen's birthday is exactly the same as me! She is the first person that I've met who's birthday is the same as mine! And to top it off, we are in the same team. Woo-hoo! What a coincident!

L-R: Joanne, Pi Yen, Za, Michelle

3 candles for 3 July babies. Myself making my wish for all my loved ones.

~ Make a wish, make a wish ~

The cake that was brought. The bill goes to boss, obviously LOL!

July birthday cake - Blackforest

Group picture time. Only the researchers were available to have picture taken. Fun fun fun!

The researchers gang

Thanks for the birthday lunch and cake peeps! Me luv you all! Muaks!

Enchanting Symphony

Continuing from this post, here, I have more pictures of the birthday cake that hubby brought for me. He told me that he was in Lot 10 to buy his own stuff, so I walked there and met him there. After dinner, hubby went to the toilet to do his own "business".

Hubby has this fixation on Haagen-Dazs' Rum n Raisin. He has just finished a tub just a day before, so I thought I'll get him a tub and surprise him.

I was caught off guard when hubby came and met me in Haagen-Dazs and showed me a receipt of a cake. LOL! Hubby has brought me a cake for my birthday on the eve of my birthday!

Birthday cake in box filled with dry ice

We bought the cake back which was filled with dry ice. It was not packed properly and some of the dry ice fell on my lap on the way home. It hurts like hell!!! My first and last encounter with dry ice.

This is my cake with the unlighted candle. This is so funny as we couldn't find any match or lit to light up the candle.

My Enchanting Symphony birthday cake by hubby

The name of this cake is Enchanting Symphony. It is Belgian chocolate ice cream dressed in fresh cream and decorated with fresh fruits.

The verdict? Absolutely divine! Truly heavenly!

Decorated cake with fresh fruits

The sales assistant gave us this brochure that displays all the cakes and flavors. We were informed that we could order the cakes that we want 3 days in advance. Hubby has already decided which one he wants for his birthday hahaha!

Haagen-Dazs' brochure

Haagen-Dazs' cakes slogan - Make Someone Melt. Hubby has definitely made my heart melt with all the arrangements for my birthday.

Birthday Cake from Hubby

My hubby gave me another pleasant surprise on the eve of my birthday. After work, he quietly went to Lot 10 but told me that he wants to buy something else. I walked to Lot 10 and met him for dinner.

This is where I found out that he has brought me a cake from Haagen-Dazs.

My very own Haagen-Dazs cake

Have been very busy these few days. Will update soon with more pictures and more celebrations!

My Birthday Eve

Today is the eve of my birthday! Man, it's been a year already! That was super fast! Can't really believe that I've lived more than a decade, and am now in the late 20s category officially!

OMG! Late 20s! I can't believe I am in my late 20s! LOL.

Anyways, continuing from this post, here I unveil the bag that my hubby has bought for me. And yes, the curiosity got the best of me. I couldn't wait till my birthday to unwrap the gift, so I had it opened earlier hehehe!

Salvatore Ferragamo dustbag

This is the bag that I've set my eyes on. Having able to own a Ferragamo makes me over the moon! This time, I wanted something different. It is BLUE, and it is a satchel. The other bags that I have are mostly totes and the only satchel I have is LV Speedy. I actually wanted a drawstring bag but can't find any drawstring Ferragamo. So I settled with this lil baby!

My very own blue Ferragamo

With this latest addition, I am missing another bag to complete my collection, so far! But for now, I am just enjoying this bag now! Luv the color, luv the rich leather and the design!

Thanks hubby *muaks*

Let the celebration(s) begin!

Back to the City

I've been on MIA for quite sometime huh? LOL well, I was away in Sibu for the past 3 days. I was there with hubby's parents, youngest sister, aunty, uncle and a cousin. We were all there to attend my sister-in-law's wedding.

This might come as a shock (it is for me) cos I've never thought it would be so soon for her as they have just started their own business in China about a couple of months back. Then, just a month ago, mum-in-law told us that we are going to Sarawak to attend her wedding. Sarawak because her husband is from there.

His sister has definitely changed and grown! She is building her own family, and even faster than us!

I have lots and lots of pictures because we were part-time photographer. They didn't engage any photographer, so we played the part to help out. Obviously it will take time to edit them and upload them.

So, here are some pictures from sis-in-law's pre-wedding pictures, which they took in China. This is the first time I (and the rest of the family) seen her in makeup! She never applies makeup and after applying it, she looked so different! So GORGEOUS! Like HK celebrity! Some say like Charmaine Sheh, Tavia Yeung and also Cecilia Cheung! Check it out, and tell me if she looks like the celebrities!

Image 01

The prop that the bridal studio has provided was a mask. Very mysterious. I really like this twist. I've never seen this in any pre-wedding picture.

Image 02
Very Victorian-ish, don't you think? I reckon she looks like another HK celebrity, but I don't remember her name.

Image 03
Taken at one of the beaches. She had on this very simple gown, but the photographer's style implemented many artistic poses. The pictures really look like they were taken for advertisements.

Image 04
She looks totally different here. I almost couldn't recognise her in this gown and makeup. But she does look really stylish!

Image 05
I love this dress the most! I think it has gotta to do with the black details! I have a thing for white dresses with black details. She looks stunning!

I reckon those who knows my sis-in-law can tell that she does look really different in her pre-wedding pictures... Splendidly dazzling in her pictures!

More pictures from Sibu and her wedding!
