to get or not to get

I don't really go shopping. It's not a hobby. I also don't really know how to go shopping with friends most of the time because I feel pressured into getting something fast. I feel guilty that they are tagging along sana sini, due to my fickle-mindedness. But follow them go shopping I........................can lah jugak. Agaknya.

My ideal shopping trip would be, knowing exactly what I want, and where to get it. I'll go directly to that place, get, pay and leave. Yup..like the panda who eats, shoots and leaves.

(Have you read that panda joke before? I read it in reader's digest. Pasal panda ni kan.. he walked into a restaurant to eat. When he was done, he shoots around (I believe no human were harmed), and then he left. Someone stopped him and then asked him why he did it. He said, "that's what it says in the dictionary". So the person went to look up the dictionary, probably when he reached home, cause i don't think he carries a dictionary around. He looked up the word 'panda' and it says. 'a black and white mammal, found in China. Eats, shoots and leaves.')

Ok, where was I.. right. yup.. get, pay and leave.

But ok lah.. I'm not such an abnormal lady who doesn't go shopping AT ALL. I DO go shopping, once in a while - like once in a purple moon. And WHEN I do, I can finish quite a lot of money. Especially when I'm in a certain place where Singaporeans feel macam OKB sikit because of the exch rate. And it's also because i happen to find more pretty clothes that are also decent, there.

I think if I go shopping more often here, both in town and geylang - i'd probably find something too. But that's the problem la.. I don't really go shopping.

Ok..so now I think I need to get a handbag. Because all i have now is the hoversack, a purple handbag, and a smaller black handbag.

The black handbag (which i don't know when I got in the first place.. i found it in my drawer) - strap dia da tercabut. And the purple handbag does not go with all my baju.

I CAN still carry the hoversack.. hmm.. yeah.. maybe I can just use the hoversack - it's an option.

Actually I'm thinking of getting something like a sling bag - in which I can carry my cameras, purse, hp, tissue, make-up sikit, car key and a small book. Hmm..Hanaa pun ada sling bag that I can use. But of course that one macam budak2 pulak.

So I either go out shopping for a bag, or just use the hoversack.

How da dey?




p.s. Ok.. My last weekend activity post is still pending. I haven't even started writing yet.. because I'm waiting for me to upload the pics first. maybe tonight. MAYBE.

writer's block, not.

I read before, that if you want to be a writer, then you have to write something everyday. It's like going to work. Everyday, at least a page.

But if there is really nothing to say, then.. what do people write about? Ok lah, in the above article - it was about writing a book. So of course, you have the main topic there already. So you just have to keep on adding to it.

So I guess, it's trickier to be able to do that in a blog. Because everyday, it's a new topic.

Some people use their blogs to record the daily life experiences, complains, gossips. But some are too mundane for me - or maybe I don't complain that much and I'm always the last person to hear of any gossips - which is just fine. Less dosa.

Kelakar eh, how sometimes you're a different person on the road. You tend to lose patience more easily on the road.

Ok, forget that.. my boss, just called me on the phone. about some work matter la. Today, he is on half day leave to play golf. Yesterday, I adalah joke dengan dia.. I said that I'll join him for his round of golf. Skali tadi he asked.. 'eh.. you seriously want to join me today?' Like what?? dalam hati la.. he would let me get off work to go play golf with him?? waah.. ni sudah baik. I better start practising again. Then also, I can join hubby and hadi for their round of golf.

Actually Hubby and Hadi pun ada ajak main golf la.. but, they are inviting me, so that I can take pictures on them on the golf course. So, I'll dress like some golfer.. bawak golf bag AND a camera. Well, that has not happened yet.

But I think I have a few reasons to start again with golf.

The last time I started to play, I got pregnant. Then i stopped. Then I picked it up again after Hanaa was 1 year plus. Then I got pregnant again. I stopped again. Then again, started after Eema was a bit older.
Then.. yes... i got pregnant again.
I didn't start again ever since.

Come to think of it.. maybe i shouldn't start. takut pregnant lagi.

merepek.

So much for writer's block.

this entry is *unplugged*
Need to get ready for work.
Have a sweet day.

2 birthdays, a wedding & a hospital visit

Pink turned a year older on 4th Nov.. but we responded quite late like that.

Then, just now pegi Kak Julie's wedding.. i mean her daughter's. I realise, i didn't take any of the pengantin's photos.. but it's because i think it doesn't matter to her also la - she's busy enough.
But then, now I think i shud have taken at least ONE photo..for me. ceh.
ANYWAY...

Umairah, my niece will be undergoing a minor surgery tomorrow, so, let's all pray for her speedy recovery. Ameen.
Go umairah!
