say hi to my baby!

Way overdue, as usual. But can't really help it when wireless does not work in my house even after we've changed the router from the Belkin guy.

So here's the story:

I finally got my first Coach bag.

*tears*

I knew mr. boyfriend's mom was getting a Coach bag as a christmas present even before I went to HK but I didn't know which one. She kept me guessing and mr. boyfriend was of no help because he was not there when his mom bought it. Maggie and I even went into Coach stores to try to guess which bag. We were pretty close -- we did guess the Sabrina bag. However, I was pretty sure I would not be getting a monogram bag and we did not see this bag and therefore did not guess this exact design.

So why did mr. boyfriend's mom bought me a Coach bag?

Last year, I told mr. boyfriend that there are many different levels to expensive handbags...you start low with Coach, Nine West or Kate Spade then move on to the Guccis, Pradas, LVs and Channels.

He went and told his mom I said that.

*bangs head on the wall*

Definitely not something your boyfriend should tell his mom!!!

Anyways, I like it that it's not conventional, its monogram more subtle due to the color contrast and that it is convertible between a shoulder strap bag and a hand-held bag. Of course, after my baby's debut at our horse-racing day out at the Hong Kong Jockey Club in Hong Kong (yes, I went horse-racing! Will tell the story another day), I have not used it much especially in Malaysia.

Say hi to my baby!
Then I started browsing the Coach website and saw this bag:

COACH PARKER LEATHER LARGE CONVERTIBLE HIPPIE $358

What do you guys think?

Yeah, I know it's a little boring but honestly I'm not a very adventurous shopper and I'm drawn to the shape of this bag. I also want something practical that I can carry to work and it would be able to fit papers and notebooks. Just not sure which color I should go for...

The mustard yellow is not as dull as the brown but even the mustard yellow is a big adventurous for me!

What say you?

on this and on that

On Chinese New Year: It was a VERY very quiet Chinese New Year for me this year, even more quiet than when I was studying in the US. It was also a VERY very wet Chinese New Year in Kuching, as the rain kept pouring down. But surprisingly, I ended up spending more time with my high school friends this short 5 days than in the last 4 years altogether. And even more surprisingly, it was also during this break that I had my first taste of going home past midnight in Kuching!! 12.30 a.m....damn sad right?

On Lee Chong Wei: As I was checking in at the airport in Kuching for my flight back to KL, we saw the national badminton team who's on the same flight as me. My dad goes, "Eh, the badminton team is here. Where is Lee Chong Wei?" and at that moment, Lee Chong Wei proceeds to walk past my dad. My little brother who idolizes him was too chicken to get his autograph and we didn't have any camera with us but he was still super duper uber excited to see Lee Chong Wei in person. At the boarding gate, I decided to ask for his autograph and my little brother is extremely happy now. I got to admit, I was a little awestruck and nervous because I was afraid Lee Chong Wei would say no.

On Valentine's Day: mr. boyfriend is coming this Friday for the weekend! Enough said =)
