Coach Chelsea Emerson Satchel silver/grey 17820

Retail it is sold at RM1825!!

I've been falling in love with this bag since i first saw it in Coach official website. I love the color, the size of the bag, the fact that it can be a shoulder bag or slingback. Which is cool becoz i love dual function/style kind of bag. Its really spacious that i can put everything in the world in it, and still looking elegant great ( i mean the bag..haha). A good friend's sister in law is now in the US, and is taking order for any US products to be shipped by december. I am now contemplating to get this bag. But then again, I am still hesitant because i may need to save up for my trip to Jakarta in November and Osaka in January next year. Boy i am thrilled to go back to Japan!!! Rinku premium outlet store, wait for my presence, okay!!!
my first coach bag was bought about less than a year ago in Niigata, Japan. Bought it at a shop in AEON Minami, about 10 mins form the Bandai area. Well, it was not too cheap, but cheaper than retail price though. It was my first time buying, so i didnt know how much it really cost retail and in the US outlet! However, I bought three coach bags from that same shop on separate occasions. I bought Kristin Hobo, Signature stripe tote and a signature swingpack. Its only when i got back from japan, i got to know that there are blogs selling authentic designer bags for half, sometimes 70% cheaper!
anyway, now still contemplating to order chelsea emerson or not... hm......

Another dream bag. Marc Jacob Preppy Nylon Hobo. There's a blog selling it at RM795. And it is sold out. :(

Used to want this bag too.. But, a friend really likes it, so, I guess I'm gonna pass this. :)

I like ths watch. Very stylish and sporty. Its a Tissot Ladies T-sport PRC 100. Retail selling at RM2000 plus. There's a blog selling at RM1043.

Clarks Asha Dome. Dont like the suede material. But definitely crazy of the design. Still expensive for me, though. Maybe another time. When I happened to found a million dollar cash by the roadside. Yeah.. in my dream!!!

Four flat tyres. And I'm almost penniless, literally.. :(

Yeah.. its about time to replace the tyres. I sent my little car for servis about a month ago. The mechanic said that the tyres are all worn out. So I told myself and to my husband that I will definitely change two at a time, so I wont feel so burdened with the amount of money to spend on the tyres.
So came another month, which is yesterday that my husband brought the car for tyre replacement, he drove into one huge nail and it stick nicely on my balding tyre. When he reached to the workshop, the tyre were already flat and the safest and the best way was to replace all four tyres. So, there goes my RM660 for the day.
Let alone that, I figured that me and my husband needs to get a flight ticket back from Jakarta to KL in November as we havent bought one yet. And again, there goes another RM240! Sigh.....

Food I cooked and ate in Japan : Part 1

Cheese naan and its super hot (level 4 hotness). Its really. This shop (Himalaya) is located near Asahi-Machi campus.



Its menu.



My favourite food joint. Hotto Motto. Yes. Its among the cheapest and fast food I can get back in Niigata. Eventhough it's fast food, it's very healthy.

One of the meal served at Hotto Motto. Its a fired fish fillet, chunks of tuna, seaweed, ad fried fishcake. 390yen.

Another food from Hotto Motto. 290yen.

Fried prawn, eggs and fried tempura vegie. It's 490yen, i think.. Its really good. My husband loves it too. We cant find as good as this at sushi/japanese restaurant in Malaysia so far.

Its fish, soups, some pickles.. A restaurant at Niigata Eki. Yummy! Approx. 990yen.

A shop in Bandai area. Its about 1400yen, i think.

Food court. AEON Minami.

Another shop at Niigata Eki. Fish very crunchy. Nice!

Aidilfitri U*** 2011

Its been a while since I last wrote in. Its the last day of Syawal, and it kinda sadden me as I have not really enjoyed to the fullest of this Aidilfitri, as perhaps I will be going off for my PhD soon. I wont be celebrating Aidilfitri in Malaysia, with my complete family for the next three years. Anyway, just feeling to scribble a bit on my office "Open House" which was held last week at the institute both U*** and C*****. It was a very overwhelming and blissfull event that I feel happy and disheartened that I might one day leave U***. Its not about leaving the place, but it's about leaving friends behind. I'm seriously gonna miss this. Last year I was in Japan when they had the same event during Syawal. Hey, atleast this year I get to be part of this, and I am very blessed.. Alhamdullilah.. :) Anyway, here are some pics of the event last Friday (23rd Sept 2011). Enjoy..!!!



Strike a "typical" pose in front of the creatively deco by our very own Miss N***. Well done, girl! This is the YAD (Young And Dangerous). Haha.. Picture: Courtesy of Ashran Zara on Facebook. TQ, Ashran :D



Me and a colleague. Me in my last year's raya attire. Believe it or not, its my second time wearing it since last year.





Various food to feast.. One can never eat so much.

Havent got the chance to taste it. Too full to eat more.



C***** food. There was also Satay and roast lamb.



Actually, while enjoying the food, there were also games to win nice hampers. Unfortunately, I did not managed to capture those moments. Perhaps in another event to come. If Iam still here... InsyaAllah...
