Luxurious Purchase

19th January 2014

The day before I tendered my resignation letter, I've made the boldest decision to use the pay I've gotten for the past months from my ex-company (most recent resignation) to buy myself a branded bag. And by branded I seriously mean branded branded, no joke. Reason being, I was trying to cut ties with my previous company, and to tell myself that there's no turning back after my decision to resign; I had to move on with my new job, stay and work hard for it because I've spent a fortune (from my POV la) for that bag -- meaning I would be in serious financial crisis if I don't work lol. 

Okay straight to the point, I've bought myself a Prada bag. Which cost around RM8XXX. Seriously the most expensive purchase I've bought for myself (other than the car of course). Not that I don't buy expensive stuff, I do buy cosmetics, splurge on fashion and gadgets, but this one was kinda high up the lead lol. So to be honest my heart does feel the ache (huge one) after the purchase, but I don't feel regret of course, I love the bag too much ^^. 



My Pink Prada Saffiano Leather Top Handle Bag. This was the last unit in the whole Malaysia, kinda lucky that I got it! Really love the rosy pink, not too sharp and overly light colored. Best of all it's Saffiano leather, so there's less likely to have scratch marks (sturdy too!). I guess it's so expensive because every single bag was handmade, and the details inside (embroidery and zips) are kinda amazing and impressive.

I only took like two pictures because I don't really wanna show it to the world lolol. 
Initially I wanted to get a Burberry Lunar Special Edition bag instead, but after seeing the Prada I didn't like the burberry one anymore =_=. Probably it doesn't match with my outfit that day? Anyway since i've already bought it, I'm just gonna feel proud about it, no use feeling regret or telling me that I'm wasting my money, many people got no food to eat, should have donate all my money bla bla bla. I mean, I should be proud of myself for buying this bag using my hard-earned money right? Nobody other than myself has the right to tell me how to spend my own money ^^.


Prada with my CNY outfit! The color matches perfectly well~
I find this color easily matches with most of my outfits, whether formal, cute style, otona style or even casual. 

Extra note: Few weeks later my mum bought me a Coach Saffiano leather medium tote which i've been using everyday for work and class. My most frequently used bag now! Looks really classy (since it's black in colour) and super sturdy (my bag is usually full of stuff and is extremely heavy). Made me interested in Coach somehow haha, I think the bag seriously worth it's price, not too expensive and good for everyday use ^^. Black matches most of my outfits also. Btw no picture for this bag because you'll most probably see it with me most of the time haha. 

I'm really lucky and happy to have both bags this year~ Anyway reality is reality, am gonna need to work hard to earn and save more money while aiming for something else lol. Live everyday as if it's the last day! お仕事がんばります!

A-Levels Gathering Dinner

Backdated: 27th January 2014

Went for a short dinner gathering with the girls from my A-Levels class at Zun Express, Gardens Mid Valley. It was sooo long since we last met each other! However I do keep in touch with some of the classmates: Yi Zhen (coincidentally few times in midvalley, at Oxford UK, and probably somewhere else I can't recall); Eunee (we keep in touch quite often through emails because she don't have a FB account =__=, and we do meet up once in a while~); Ee Ching (we chat with each other a lot, and last met up for Xmas eve celebration!~); and some others through FB chats lolol, can't really recall who and when. 

Fun Fact about my A-Levels class: there's so many girls in our class!!! We had only two guys (Yik Sheng who is currently in Australia, and one more whom I forgotten his name probably because he rarely come to class). It's kinda fun to be with so many pretty and super smart girls (i was having inferior complex back then) and I still find it hard to believe that we all have known each other for 7 years!! Time flies so fast >_<. Sometimes when I look back at the class photos I'll recall about the fun memories we had together.

So this gathering was initiated by Meng Yean as she just came back from New Zealand (studying Dentistry there). Too bad only 6 of us (Meng Yean, Eunee, Jin Tong, Sun Mei, Yi Zhen and I) could attend this time as many others were still in overseas. Ee Ching was caught up with her hospital placement and missed it. 

I couldn't comment much about the food and the restaurant because it tasted below average at most. But what's most important is the time we spent together chatting about our sweet old times and current lives. I'm very happy that everyone seems to be doing so well in life! Probably me excluded hahaha. All 6 of us have started working, and they are all working in great and established places, earning money and contributing back to the society (chehh just trying to say some cool stuff). I really hope we can have more gatherings time to time! And this time maybe Ee Ching and more of others could make it. 

Oh yeah Yizhen (and her bf), Meng Yean and I went to Gong Cha after the dinner for more chatting hahaha, we just can't stop chatting lol. Thanks a lot to Yizhen's bf for belanja us the drinks~ On the side note, after trying out Gong Cha twice, I still like ChaTime more LOL, not that I mind drinking gongcha. Haha sorry Yi Zhen (she's a die hard fan of gong cha). 

Lastly a group picture (the only picture we took sent by Meng Yean), kinda blurred though T__T:
