Black Friday Sale!

November 28, 2013

Bahahahha, bunyi macam black metal sangat la kan. Black Friday Sale, well because black commonly associated with black metal and ajaran sesat segala T____T Jangan risau, tiada kena mengena dengan semua itu please. It just a beginning of Christmas shopping season. Lebih kurang permulaan sale hujung tahun la senang cerita. Amareka panggil Black Friday Sale, itu saje.

Ok fine, tak penting semua tu. Yang penting ialah peluang nak beli baju budak-budak at super-duper-huge-discount! Ok, that's the most important thing of all. Baju budak-budak je yang I suka beli, baju mak budak tengok keadaan lah, baju bapak budak lagi tak pernah beli hahaha, itu kena beli dekat Malaysia sebab wajib ukur di badan.

Ada orang dia tak kisah pun on buying discounted items online, tapi ohhh ohhh ohhh, mungkin sebab tak tahan nak tunggu 3-4 minggu untuk dapat barang-barang tu, tapi I sangat kira. Sebab I suka beli banyak hahahahhaha, so by buying things online, I can save a lot berbanding nak beli dekat boutique dalam Malaysia -- yang design kasut, seluar, baju budak adalah tak cool. Kalau ada yang cool design, takde size pulak. Kalau ada size pun, harga normal takde discount, tak best hahahaha. So basically, I can save a lot buying online even though I have to pay for shipping plus tax costs. Campur tolak darab bahagi, still murah jugak and puas hati heheh :P

So now dah start shopping season dekat US, I mula lah rambang mata tengok baju budak-budak online. My favorite online stores are Carter's, Osh Kosh, Gap, Old Navy and Crazy 8. Children Place and Gymboree lawa-lawa jugak, tapi for girls la, boys punya tak berapa sangat kot. Itu ikut taste I la, sebab citarasa orang lain-lain kan.

Dulu I pernah amik order untuk belikan Old Navy, ramai jugak orang order sebab masa tu ada good sale. So this week tengok Carter's and Osh Kosh ada pre Black Friday sale. Apalagi, terus lah open slot untuk amik order mak-mak yang berkenan baju nun jauh di Amareka sana. Tapi I bukak order 48 jam saja hahahahhah sebab terlampau banyak sampai sendiri naik pening nak sort order. So siapa tak dapat join tu, maybe next time.

Tapi jangan risau, maybe esok lusa I nak open for Gap and Old Navy pulak, so tungguuuuu. Bukan tunggu I, tunggu Old Navy web tu up kan sale dia. Sebab selalu t-shirts budak dia dalam 3-4 dollar saje ok. Kalau nasib baik, tshirt 2 dollar pun hado hahahha. Tak kisah la 2 dollar pun, janji lawa, pakai smart :P

Yang penting sekarang nak tunggu parcels ni semua sampai next week. Excited! (yang ni order bulan lepas punya hehehehe) :P

Toddler Boy Clothes

June 05, 2013

I think my kids have more clothes in their closets that I do right now :P Dulu before ada kids, I ingat "kalau anak boys, apalah nak dress up sangatkan, fashion pun standard je, boringggg" but gosh! the idea I had, was so wronggg. Now that I have two boys, honestly, I spend quite a lot on my kids' clothing. Wuhuhuh -______-" Plus the fact that we live in a media-soaked world, we subconsciously getting into the advertising messages -- email blast of "Mothercare SALE! Extra 10% off for members" kind of thing haha!

Or maybe the fact that I don't budget for their clothes, my shopping trip tends to be rather unfocused and terbabas :P Most often, my kids' seluar OR baju-hunting-mission will turn into a mindless seluar-baju-kasut-spekmata-spenda shopping spree. Major damage case at the end of the day, tskkk...But not la every week heyyyy, every end of month tu ada lah kot :P

But hello, at least I'm not into labels! I will consider all, ranges from the cheaper brands to more expensive labels but not the high end lines. FB online shops, Tesco, Padini, Brands Outlet, H&M, Mothercare, Zara Kids, whatever stores you name it, to me it's about choosing a good quality pieces that will also look great on my kids. Price wise, it’s a whole mixture; whatever I can find that fits the bill, I ok ajer but yes preferably items on sale! Malaysia Darul Sale, remember?

To support the act of my random purchase, I will always go for a bigger size or specifically, using Aiman's size as my benchmark. Because worst case scenario, items can be hand-me-downs from Adik to Abang. Ahahaha terbalik, I know.

Anyhow, my all time favorite stores will still be Mothercare & H&M Kids and recently fell in love with Zara Kids too. But of course I rembat most of the items during sale period because price wise it will still be affordable and reasonable. In my experience, those shirts and pants from these three brands that have been washed countless of time, in and out the dryer, are still good as new. Well worth buying la kononnya :P

Or maybe because I love ironing *muahahaha* so that kinda helps to maintain the new-look of their clothes. Yeah call me the rare mommy-species who just loves ironing but seriously, I love to see their clothes in the wardrobe all ironed and ready to wear. Ok, dah off topic masuk household task hehe. Oh by the way, my few months old Electrolux steamed iron just went kaput few weeks ago, my neighbor cakap I dah over-worked that poor iron haha.

To sum up, I just love buying clothes for my kids because I want them to look good and handsome and PRESENTABLE (biar ada hingus pun tetap hensem hahaha). Or the truth is, I think in today's society, MOST people judge others by the way they look, kan kan kan??? And even if you say NO you shouldn't, majority of the population will still do. Sad fact here. Yes there is more to someone than their appearance but initial impression of someone always from their look kan?

As far as I'm concern, I'm just doing my best as a mom :) And I'm pretty sure that I got this from my Abah, so here I'm repeating the same to my kids. ^_____^

P/S: Pantang tok nenek kalau pakai baju tak iron. It's a big NO NO and I just can't tolerate that.

Shorten Kid's Jeans the Easiest Way

May 16, 2013

Tadaaaa! Just roll up neatly to the desired length haha. No cutting, no sewing, quick fix and absolutely EASY :P

The truth is, I tend to go overboard when shopping for my boys (toys, foods, shirts, shoes) except for jeans haha. I don't know but I'm a bit berkira when buying new pants, jeans particularly, for them. Look, those jeans are from good brands -- Mothercare, GAP and Miki Kids and obviously they are made from high quality material which are supposed to be durable for a long time wear (with adjustable waist of course). So, to buy another pair of jeans just because the boys keep getting taller yet the waist still fit just right, is just plain membazir.

Ok fine, mainly because jeans are costly, that's it hehehe :P

After all, jeans are just one of the best fashion items that can never go out of trend no matter how you style them, hence turning a pair of outgrown jeans into capris, I think it still looks fashionable and cool on them hehe. K-pop inspired perhaps.

For kids' jeans, this method works just fine but for an adult, I'm not so sure, because in most situation, we will only do this just to keep the pants dry rather than for a fashion look (trying not to get wet; raining, beach, etc).

Kids aviator sunglasses

April 08, 2013

Ok. Macam biasa, entry menjawab soalan favorite rakyat Instagram dan Fesbuk.

"Beli spek mata boys dekat mana?" Atau lebih specific yang pesen aviator ni.

Jawapan dia, MERATA. Dari butik Obaibi Pavilion sampai ke pasar malam. Haha. Seriyes tak tipu. Janji tak mahal sangat. Sebab budak-budak, jenis pakai-letak merata-hilang! Macam tu la dok ulang cycle dia. Kalau nak harap beli branded sunglasses dekat anak, kirim salamlah. Adam tu mungkin boleh consider lagi sebab dia cermat dan hemat, tapi Aiman memang sadaqallahul azim. Pagi beli, petang hilang. -____-"

So antara kedai-kedai yang emak-emak semua boleh cuba ziarah lepas ni ialah Padini Concept Store (pergi bahagian budak), Brands Outlet (kadang-kadang ada aviator RM10 je, smart sangat!), Obaibi, FOS or best, pasar malam or flea market. Mothercare and Toysrus pun ado, tapi style macam sunglasses for cycling dengan wayfarer, tapi harga tak murah sangat. Dalam RM29-RM35 jugak per piece. Of course aviator the best. Baru nampak kacak tampan bergaya macam Adam Mukhriz kan.

Tapi yang paling penting konfiden kena tahap tertinggi. So hentam style apa pun tetap bergaya. Macam Aiman. Dah pakai aviator, mana orang tau naik flight pagi tu mandi ke tidak muahahahaha. Sebab lagak dia tu lebih bukan main :P

Akhir kata, yang ni satu saja yang tak terdapat di pasaran. Memang spek antik! Heheheh. Spek mata ala Professor Klon :P

Where I buy my baju :P

March 11, 2013

Ini adalah entry menjawab soalan secara berjemaah nama dia. Sebab satu soalan sama, yang bertanya ramai hehehe. Lagi-lagi di Instagram. Kalau nak reply secara individu, I is pengsan. Iye omak-omak sekalian (well most of them mak-mak pun), sekarang saya kongsi dari mana saya beli blouse-blouse itu semua. Jangan dirisau, semua dari kedai harga mampu milik. Jarang sekali saya beli blouse yang sehelai je dah RM199 sebab entah, otak orang accounting memang tahap berkira sangat kot hahaha. My philosophy is "harga biar sedang-sedang, janji dapat banyak" muahahaha. Sekarang angkat tangan siapa yang berkongsi falsafah baju sama dengan kita? ^____^

(Top Brands Outlet "Buy 2 RM69", necklace Lovisa, flower power brooch Forever 21, bangle Jalan TAR. Ha camtu lah standard remarks OOTD WIWT blogger-blogger fesyen haha. I is no fesyen blogger ok)

Tak salah pun nak beli mahal, ikutlah poket sendiri, pendapatan sendiri. Kalau mampu Chanel atas bawah depan belakang luar dalam apa salahnya, sendiri punya wang jugak keluar :) As for me, sekali sekala ada jugak kita melalut borong from Forever21.com, online from US ship balik Malaysia. Ada jugak yang dari UK guna servis ShopShip tu, tapi ni sekali sekala aje. Yang berkala-kala tu dekat website online dengan Brands Outlet Ikano Power Centre! Yang penting, pegangan fashion kita macam yang kat atas tadi, nak harga sederhana (murah the better!) tapi boleh beli banyak hehe.

Jacket Forever21, order online ship balik Malaysia. Guna HopShopGo.

Jacket H&M, UK mari, guna ShopShip service.

Top jenama Jalan TAR hehehe. Necklace Marks & Spencer. Flower power brooch H&M. Bangle Forever 21.

Owh ada lagi murah. SERIOUS. RM25 je selai. Dekat Jalan TAR. Yer janganlah kau orang nak cebik-cebik muka sebab yang RM25 sesungguhnya sama serupa macam dok beli dekat blogshops tu tapi depa juai harga dua kali ganda, kadang-kadang lebih lagi. Cuma yang RM25 tu nasib-nasib lah, sebab cutting tu macam nak bagi anak dara je pakai, mak dara tu size ikut nasib. Walaupun nama dia FREE SIZE tapi idok ler se-FREE mana. Eyh, sebetulnya, free size ni merangkap dari size apa kepada size apa ha? Tak pernah la pulak nak check kan. Sebab opkos masa kita dulu size UK20 tu tak free punnnnn. Haha.

Accessories pun sama. Most of it dari flea market The Curve tu sajo. Tak pun Diva. Recently only baru tau pasai Lovisa, itu pun beli dari website Aussie dia walaupun ada je kedai dia dalam Malaysia ni. Haha. Tapi harga dirt cheap, kenot tahan. Rantai yang kat sini RM100++, beli kat Lovisa baru AUD9! Beli pulak masa tu ada 3 for 2 deal, wahahaha memang bahagia. Jalan TAR punya accessories pun banyak. Tu lagi murah. RM6 pun ado. Agak nak beli melambak sila kawtim harga dengan tuan kedai.

Tudung sekarang dah back to basic. Yang printed square scarves berlambak tu semua terperuk jer dalam almari. Ah biasalah, zaman memang macam tu, berubah. Esok-esok nanti orang balik pada nak pakai Tie Rack look a like scarves, kita bawaklah keluar balik. Itu jam, tudung lama kita dah jadi fashion vintage! hehehe. Tudung bawal, kamu orang pergilah ramai-ramai dekat bangunan sebelah Semua House tu, tah apa nama, bawah tu ada Kedai Bunga Reben. Silalah pergi borong tudung bawal warna warni RM5 sehelai. Sekian. :P

Ok, empat yang atas ni contoh-contoh baju Brands Outlet. Yang bawah ni, tak payah bagitau pun orang tau hahaha. Poplook. Walaupun beli online, tapi tahap nak berebut onyomatgesetgo tekan mouse add items to cart! Sebab cepat sold out!

Happy Birthday to Mat Kown!

April 13, 2012

Hepi tu yuuuuu!! Hepi tu yuuuu!! Hepi yuyuyuyuyu!!

*kita nyanyi version Aiman Haris hehehe*

Happy birthday yang ke-29 tahun untuk suami saya tersayang. Macam biasa, takda ucapan kanda dinda dalam belog, we keep it to ourselves cukup okels? Yang penting I and Haris Bersaudara love you deep deep. Like Adam said, beribu ribu kiwiiiiiiiiiiii!

So semalam kami dah pi meraikan birthday dinner Mat Kown tersayam saya. Plan asal tu nak dinner dekat Ben's Pavilion, sekali pi dia tutup pulak, so menujulah kami dalam kelaparan ke Tony Romas.

Ya ampunnn cabaran sungguh dinner tema orang putih kalau dengan Aiman. Because satu restaurant tu boleh dengaq kot dia jerit "Nak NASYIKKKKKKKKKK" -____________-

Mama tau lah hang tu Kedah breed tulen kaw-kaw, tapi toksah dok buat teruk pi western restaurant cari nasik tau dak. T_____T Last sekali Ayah kena order Mojo Chicken with Rice sebab anakanda mencari nasik. Abang Adam bagus, memang tekak mat salleh. Carbonara pagi petang siang malam. I ordered chicken tenders for both of them to share, unfortunately satu anak mintak nasyik, satu anak mintak carbonara.

So much of me teringin nak makan shrimp pasta ker macam tuh, terus kena order ikut selera anak. Kalau order semua jenuh sapa nak makan. Kita kan keluarga menjaga kesihatan hahahaha. Tapi dapat free birthday choc lava, I taram lepas gian jugak lah, kehkehkeh!! They sang a birthday song, tapi Adam pulak feeling-feeling tu birthday dia, makanya dia lah yang blow candle jugak. T_____T Cake and candle blowing, tu macam hobi dia lah kot. Comes April, tiap-tiap minggu pun lah dia nak potong kek and tiup lilin.
