Back to the office!!



It was a holiday yesterday for KLians due to hari wilayah.. and I thought I could sleep in for the whole day (typical Binx's activity what...). However, had to accompany Lil' Sis to Low Yat to buy all her techie gears to be used in Perth. Our first stop was the camera shop.. At first I was telling myself to keep self focused on things to look out for Lil' Sis and not deviate away from plan (cause like I've mentioned in my previous post... I've burst my budget for last month.. hence, am trying to cover it for this month - feb).. BUT... something had caught my attention and I fell in love with it at the 1st sight.. Luckily the shop didn't have HSBC credit card in their easy installment scheme list. If not, I'd be a proud owner of the Canon IXUS digital camera by now.. Oh well.. I've made a mental note to call Ejan soon and apply for a RHB credit card.. just so I can buy the sweetie.. *winks*

Next, we went up to the handphone floor where you'll be blinded by all the latest handphone in the market. Mummy wanted to get herself a new handphone.. Since all her 3 daughters now are using Samsung flip phones she's been hinting that she too needs a new phone - preferably as canggih as ours laa kan.. hahahaha.. Mama..Mama.. But for sure if she owns a canggih phone pun she wouldn't know how to use all the features available pun kan.. (like someone else I know.. *hint hint*).. Thus, what's the point of getting an expensive phone and not put it to full use?

Back to Lil' Sis's hunt for tech items.. She was looking for an iMac laptop but there was no Mac store there. People she knows recommended the brand cause it's well known to be compatible for designing purposes. However, a Sony Vaio did catch her attention and she was trying to reason out why she should get the Vaio instead of the iMac.. Wah... kids nowadays.. Didn't even pause to look at the price of the laptop.. Pengsan tau Mummy lepas nieh..

Our hunt ended with Sis buying only 100 blank CDs, an MP3 player (to record her lectures) and a thumb drive.. that's it!! And it was all done in 3 hours!!! Oh yeah, I bought a Alias DVD box set for Big Sis's friend in South Africa, plus 2 other movie DVDs - closer (jude law!!) & finding neverland (johnny depp!!).

We had our lunch at the famous Bukit Bintang Hainan Chicken Rice shop.. It was simply delicious.. It has been years since I've last been there.. The last time was with my fellow management trainees colleagues during our stint at the Royale Bintang hotel. Anyway, the chicken rice was great.. especially the chicken soup (they added ground penuts in it... yummy) and the kerabu mangga were to die for.. The only place that I've tasted a delicious kerabu mangga was in Hadyai, Thailand (have to find a recipe for it laa). Hence, it was a melantak session for me and crew.

A new month now.. How time flies.. We're now into our 2nd month of the year. Lil' Sis will be leaving for Perth soon.. Will miss her for sure.. Who am I gonna bully to wash Ash's poo poo now if I am too malas to do it myself? Who's gonna teman me on my shopping expeditions? Who's gonna be my fashion conslutant? Who's gonna buat muka seposen when wanna ask for favours frm her sisters? Hmmmm.......


Binx: still am pissed for not being able to join the family trip to Perth...!!
