AGAIn....?

I now must confess to be in the possession of one very leaky nose. How I shall be rid of this I cannot tell. But certainly a certain wariness has entered the spirit of things, the absence of easy breathing can be felt every hour of every day. Help!

Car show at Matrade

Oh dear...I appear to find the Mazda wanting in something at least! 

Lovely to have a carshow near home. Matrade is 10 minutes from home. And the big rain earlier in the afternoon made us go there later. So less crowd and more breathing space. Unlike the VW carshow ( see earlier blog post ) with long queues and LOCKED cars...this was lovely. No fuss....and you could sit , sneer, pose inside pose outside the cars...and get your moneys worth. RM5 per entry. Tolerable!

Also seen in the picture above...my army green Longchamp!

Saturday evening activity includes...

Can you spot my violin???

 We walked a lot on Saturday. Looking for a hall at PWTC. Due to the furniture expo the normal ( shorter) route was off limits. We walked through beds, floors, mattresses, taps, blinds...and people to cross the river to get to the hall. Tiring. No picture of self. I decided against inflicting a sweaty red-faced flat hair-do on you all. ( considerate..that's what I am)

Last minute practice

WNN and AJ came to the "performance"....they were my proxy parents. Made my day...and made the event so much more enjoyable.

Jeans

Bought a new pair of jeans...JETblack! Pretty tight fit. Never trust a perky salesgirl...they're overly optimistic. She promises it will stretch ....but until that happens we're looking at maybe wearing these jeans only during sessions where I remain upright.

Time to read....

I love books!, originally uploaded by NYC nikonian007.

Reading maketh a full man ( woman in my case) ,conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.

Sir Francis Bacon

On a totally different note, anyone else saw that interview of Duchess Katherine during her visit to UNICEF? Go google and watch...and then we'll discuss

Ikea-phenomena

This is an old picture taken 6 months ago. Now explain this if you dare, why is it a messy bed in Ikea looks nice and cosy, but a messy bed at home looks uninviting and off-putting?? Happy Toosday everybody. I was a little doped out this morning due to a certain leaky nose of mine.( Most annoying)  It's a 4-day week:)

It's Japanese Fever at the Pavillion

 Lovely figurines seen at the window. And they're eating yummy sushi.

 Walking along the little stalls almost makes you feel like you're in some street in Tokyo!

And it's aptly named....Tokyo Street! Clever

Second visit to Sephora....more treasures uncovered

Picture turned out nicer than expected....lighting was to my "benefit"

 Sephora! Music to the ears. Our second visit uncovered more treasures. The walk there was brisk I'm afraid we jay-walked ( hey hey along with the rest of the crowd) across Jalan Bukit Bintang. And because Malaysians love heading out to the shops at any opportunity, we had to wade through a little bit of crowd. And so here are two of the many pictures I took. I've chosen these for different reasons. Benefit has lovely packaging. It really does. Their lippy is great but I'm afraid I've shyed away from most of their other tempting products.

GOOD Grief!!! I wonder who needs this kinda concealer!

Wooo! Look what I found. Industrial strength concealer. WHOA! I betcha these can smoothen out just any old crater out there. Try it? Nah! I imagine one would need a shovel to remove this at the end of the day. Again....too much trouble. My blemished face and I will just have to learn to face the world unaided.

Got a hair cut

Finally got around to having a hair trim. The sides were curling ( not in an endearing manner) out and I'm not sure whether any of you have this experience but hair growing out tends to follow its own rhythm leaving you with many many bad-hair-days.

An unfortunate thing to happen

Scalded left hand two weeks back during removal of instant noodles from microwave oven. A slight jerking movement caused a mini tsunami of piping hot noodles to overflow from bowl to hand. The heat caused a yelp and a further tilt...which brought piping hot gravy onto hand to add to the unpleasantness. The hand is absolutely fine after a immediate rush to the tap to bring down the temp pronto followed by an icebag for the next hour or so. It hurt like a billy-oh that evening. But THERE is no scar:)

The noodles above was cooked by AJ....and brought to room with one hand. Some people (roll eyes) they're brilliant with hot piping noodles.

Still traumatised

Picture taken from melissa and dough wooden sushi

I'm still traumatised by the disastrous sushi Saturday night. What saddens the heart, is the lost of yet another "usual" haunt and the hunt for a new place to frequent.

Currently reading....

Just started reading this.....my third Henry book. If anyone out there wants to try her books...I vote you buy " The birthday Party" Loved that a lot. Am currently at page 3.4.....doesn't quite have the same charismatic pull but I'm keeping an open mind.
