As most of you have know, the Potato is back in KL. Her trip to Indonesia was okay. Aside from the biggest shopping spree of her life, the Potato came back bearing sickness (not H1NI) but safely made it past the airport's quarantine. :)

It was a 7 day trip from Jakarta ->Bandung -> Yogjakarta and shopping was everywhere!

Of course the main purpose of the Potato's presence in Indo was Borobodur!! Visited lotsa ancient temple in Yogjakarta, saw a volcano, jalan2 like mad etc. The Potato is satistified, tired and thankful! I'm so blessed, thank the Lord! :)

She doesn't plan to blog much about it (wanna know more, ask me yourself) so here's a few pics and a list of her shopping inventory (yes, show off la... :P) - Note: the things were very CHEAP there.... hence:

34 TOPS:

- 17 T-shirts (purely mine and not including those I bought for my friends and family)

- 6 dresses

- 4 camisoles

- 4 blouses

- 2 batik top

- 1 poncho

6 Bottoms:

- 2 exercise pants

- 2 skirts (one formal and one jeans)

- 2 jean shorts

Accessories:

- 3 feet wear (2 pairs of slippers and a pair of sandals)

- 2 belts

- 1 hat

- 7 badges

- a whole lot of key chains


The Potato wants to thank the Lord for providing and blessing her with such loving, generous and great parents who made this possible (my dad is complaining that I have too many baju :P). Thanks mum and dad, you are the best! Thank the Lord for his blessings, favor, protection and neverending love in my life. There were ups and downs during the trip in Indo, but the Lord has been good and I proclaim His awesomeness in my life. :D

The ancient temple of Prambanan

I have the Borobudur in the palm of my hand!!

Love my parents!

Got sick halfway in Indo. Had to cover up in the streets of Bandung during shopping as it was very dusty.

Jakarta! The big city!


*******

Praise the Lord for His grace, mercy, love, faithfulness, blessings, protection, favor and providence. He is awesome and good.

Have a blessed week jolly people.

Hugs. :)

"It is all about MY HAIR!" ~ Elle Woods; Legally Blonde 2.

Yes, before anything else, I am going to rant about my hair!!!

My hair, MY HAIR!!!

If you have read my previous entry, you would have known that I've had a hair cut. And it is unconventionally short for me in a weird way. But let's just say, many have given fine comments and for a moment there, I felt good about it.

But lo behold, after my own hair wash, the disaster of nature strikes and my hair now is out of shape! On the first day, of course it looks nice! It was washed and blown profesionally and every strand of hair is in order. But you don't get that everyday and since today is like every other day, then you would have figured that my hair was totally out of place. The ends curl out in the wrong way, it looked dry and bushy and I have to apply lotion on it to calm it down. And dont even get me started on the hair brushing moments. Basically, I didnt even need to put in so much effort in combing my hair when I had it long.

One word: SUCKS!!! - My new hairsyle that is

The only thing good about it is that it is short and easy to be tied, not to mention lighter and gives a swingy bounce. :)

I think I look better with my hair tied up then have it down!

And it rips me apart inside everytime I look into a mirror, talk about low self esteem!

Anyway, enough of my rants and hair obsession, now to the main event. Mdm Yiang and I went shopping today (again)!!! We went to Sungai Wang (we parked in Times Square) and let's just say we ended with several shopping bags and much satisfation on our reapings. :D

I must confess I have not had such a good time shopping in a long time. The company was good, the cash was sufficient (*winks*) and the hauls were pleasing to my every taste. I am very satisfied with my purchases and only wished we had more time and money to spare. This is the first time I got only 1 top (t-shirt) but 4 bottoms (2 pants and a skirt). Usually I get tops more. :D

Just to share some happiness along the way.... :)

Got a pink top (dont know why it looks red here) From Players Girls

I love this pants (Players Girls) so much! It looks great on me and feels really comfy too!

A short pink skirt, I thought it would look cute with one of my tops. :P

Floral orange shorts, I have a blue and pink one. Thought orange was kinda cute too. It was cheaper than the pervious two I bought from Curve. :)

Tadaaaa!!! The cherry on the sundae! I call it the "sumo pants" (doesnt show in the pic but it is seriously very large). It looks funny and overly big but I like it very much cause it's very unique and colouful. Yiang and I both feel "in love" with it from first glance and just had to get it in the end of the day. It has a special way in wearing and tying it and actually it looks very "sakai" but hey, at least it is a special way, lol. Btw, it is from Thailand and no this was not bought in Sungai Wang. Want to know? Hehehehe...

How it is worn...hahahaha! (After folding and tying it up)

Me mum also bought me some clothes (for CNY)... This is an Elle Active top, I find it kinda cute. :)

A pink Google T-Shirt. At first I was seriously surprised on why my mum got me a T-Shirt for CNY but she said "First day in granny's house all day so just wear T-shirt la". LOL, it was true and since every year after arriving at my granny's place during CNY, I would usually change my really nice clothes to just T-Shirts and shorts (hot ma) so my mum says it defeat's the purpose of dressing up, lol.

Previously, Yiang and I went shopping in Pavilion. And I must confess I really like the place and garments offered there. But of course as many of you know, it is a cut-throat mall and one can only purchase so little (if you are in my state la). Yiang and I saw and eyed so many garments but were unable to take them home. :( However I bought this colouful sweater from Pull and Bear. It looks weird and maybe even childish but I like it. It is striking and bright, just my thing. :D

Alongside with that, I also got a laptop cover (at last, got it) from Isetan, KLCC (10 minutes before I met Yiang then, haha). It's from Gin & Jacqie and most of all it is PINK! Nice!

And before all that, I bought a red cardigan (which I really like!) from MNG in Sunway Pyramid.

Is shopping cool or what?!

LOL!

Cheers to 2008 shopping! I am having a fine start :P

Ok, for the record, I am not really a shopaholic, but I do enjoy splattering my money for desirable goods once in a while. :D

Cheerios people and God bless!
