I was a pramaholic..

Yup.. Stroller, pram, buggy, pushchair or whatever you may call this mechanism to transport your precious cargo in.. Cargo here means none other than your cutie-pie child, of course!

But then again, it sparked off after I discovered the Strollers And Prams forum!
Hubby and I bought the Combi Super Mechacal DX as our very first stroller.  We never studied anything about strollers at that time. The only thing that matters was that it has to be a Combi because we trusted in Japanese product being long lasting and assuming that it's the most advanced in technology like whatever electrical/ mechanical stuffs made in Japan itself.

Ok, hold on to your horses..
I'm gonna make a new post dedicated especially to this stroller.. yes, yes, I will search for the pictures of it too!
Stay tuned!

Writer's Block

I said I wanted to blog..
I thought this could be an easy peasy thing.
But goshhhh.. everytime I logged into this page, my mind suddenly went blank..
This is harder than I thought.

Ok..
Let's assess this situation.
I've been crazily following Coach and LV on the Purse Forum.
I am constantly hunting for great bargains for handbags on Ebay and Bonanzle.
Was an active member in the Strollers and Prams Forum.
So why is it that I turn clueless whenever I'm in my own blog?
Why? Why? Why?

Hmm...
I think maybe because I'm scared that I might blog about the wrong thing, although I'm not sure what is the right or wrong thing in the first place.
And I put high expectations into my blog to make it 'perfect'.
To be a favourite site for readers.
To blend among the bloggers.. sigh..
Oh hell..
Whatever am I saying here? 
I shouldn't worry about a thing, huh?
After all, since I've started this blog in year 2006, I only have 178 visitors!
Even my hubby don't read my blog! bwahahahhaa..
So, I've got nothing to loose.. nobody reads my blog anyways..

I think I'm gonna try and recall back my major posts in other forums and recreate them in here..
Great idea! Then I don't have to think too much about what to blog at this earlier stages..
Just copy and paste.. that, I can do! Yippeee!!

New Year Resolution

Seriously, I have none.

I don't find the need for it.. but I do believe that we should have targets or plans in life.. but absolutely not necessarily means you must created it during new year and to achieve it within a-year's time period though..
Anyway, whatever we may call it, well, I just decided to set one about 5 hours ago..

Yup..
While in the office, waiting for the clock to strike 5.30 for me to go home, I browsed several of my favourite blogs and wallaaaa! I've made my resolution that I myself need to start blogging too!!

Ok.. that sounds sooo familiar.. which I think I've said that before in previous previous previous posts..

So, oh well... we will just see how it goes then!
Wish me luck!

My Ongoing Love Affair with Sabrina

Who?
Well, let me introduce you to one of the Coach Madison Collection, the Sabrina!

Yes, it all started with this picture of Michelle Trachtenberg with green patent Sabrina. (picture found in tpf)It was March 2009, so, I simply asked hubby for it as my birthday present. From the picture, hubby said it's an ugly green but he still bought it because I was so determined on it.
And when it arrived, wallaaaa!! He got the shock of his life! As the green turns out to be more than stunning! Introducing, the Coach Madison Large Green Patent Leather Sabrina, style # 12948This marks the Sabrina love affair! I love that it can be hand-held, and comes with detachable strap for shoulder carry. I've fallen deeper in love with it each day and unable to fight the temptations of buying several more.. well, another 5 to be exact! hahaha..

There's also the Julianne style in the Coach Madison Collection. It is the largest in Madison collection and carries similar trade of the Sabrina, and of course I couldn't let it slide off just like that! haha.. This is the Coach Madison Op Art Brown Julianne, style # 12963

And lastly, the Sabrina Family picture!! ta-daaa!!

My All Time Favourites..

( this is taken from my post in the bag-aholics blogspot )


..is the CARLY!!

Carly is THE most famously associated to Coach Brand.

This is Coach classic handbag design and no other brand dare to create similar look to it. Carly marks the the beginning of Coach era. It was at that moment, like, a must have for all Coach addict!

And after owning two, I honestly believe that you can never go wrong with Carly.
It matches perfectly with every single outfit, at any point of time and functions!

I bought my very 1st Carly at Coach KLCC and it was my dear hubby who pointed it out as she sat quietly on the top shelf, with 50% discount tag during the Coach Clearance 2008! And it was love at first sight!

This is my Coach Large Parchment Leather Carly style #10616, with Mahogany leather trim and Brass hardware.
And check out the baby blue satin lining.


Of course I couldn't just stop there.. I mean, everything needs a partner, right? hehe..
So, I went back to visit all the Coach boutiques but they only have the Coach Signature Carly and no more leather..
I'm not so much into siggy prints, hence, I moved to Ebay and found the perfect pair!

Ta-daa!! Here's my Coach Large Black Leather Carly style #10616, with Black leather trim and Brass hardware.
And with it's shimmering bronze satin lining.

As usual, accessories are my bags best buddies..
so, here are the carlys gorgeously dressed up for the day..


Just incase you didn't notice, I was actually using the same ponytail scarf.
This scarf has several patterns on it and it is different front and back.. absolutely creative isn't it? hehe..

My Coach Ergo Collection

( this is taken from my post in the bag-aholics blogspot )

Hi. My name is Jay. I am a 32 year old mommy to two beautiful cheeky boys.. and I am a self proclaimed Coach-addict! Hahaha.. Yes! I love coach handbags and in this 1st entry of my Coach handbags, I would to share with you my Coach Ergo Collection.

In my humble opinion, I think this must be the most lightweight leather collection ever made by human kind. Yand you can tell that it is lightweight even by the looks of it.

First up is my Coach Large Tan Pleated Ergo Leather Tote, style #12247, followed by Coach Medium White Pleated Ergo Leather Tote style #12240 and lastly the Coach Rose Pleated Framed Ergo Leather Satchel style #12248. All are gorgeously lined with Coach Tattersall sateen fabric lining.
Ok, so you may think that what's so special about this Ergo anyways? It looks boring, there's no hardware accessories, no bling bling.. but just pure plain looking leather bag.. Not even a Coach writing on it (except for on the hangtag and inside tattersal lining and the style creed)..

Well, that's what accessories are all about my dear! Just like a woman, handbags too need accessories to complete the look, if u know what i mean *wink*..and here are pics of my bags taken as i accessorised it to use accordingly throughout the week.
So you see, the Ergos practically have endless looks! With the right kind of accessories, you can transform it to suit any attire, formal and casual. No, you do not need to buy only Coach accessories to use on it. U can mix it up with others, even personal stuffs. For instance, the brown silk scarf on the ergo was actually my mom's scarf! I tried to use the Coach brown-patchwork ponytail but it just didn't match well. See for yourself:
The tips is not to be afraid to mix and match. Till next episode, have fun with your handbags and don't forget to accessorize!

For the love of COACH

Oppss.. I have become addicted to the purse forum and have been buying COACH handbags ever since my December 2008 purchases.. but no worries, nobody have been starving and I have not been selling my kids in the black market to fund my coach-addiction.. yet.. haha!! Everything is still under control as I have tried my very best to hunt for bargains and although I love all the bags that I have bought, I will sell the unused ones in order to fund up and to make way for the new purchase.. that's how I get my money rolling and to prevent from spending large amount at once.

I have without any shame appointed myself as the Malaysia- Coach - Ambassador, in the purse forum.. the thread is here just incase if you're wondering about it
And I have contributed several posts in the bag-aholics blogspot.. including selling my unused pre-loved and some new with tags bags as well over there..

Which that reminds me maybe I should also posts about it in here, my own blog because I do have one.. haha.. ok.. let that be note to self..

i feel like a ball..

..being passed around, each time whenever there's an organisational restructuring!
I hate this part right here!
This is one of the disadvantage of working in a huge company where man power is merely just based on filling in the chart boxes, instead of job matching!
Not only it doesn't matter to whatever course study you took during your strive-for-a-degree years, but also doesn't even relate to whatever job that you have done last month, last year, or last freaking 7 years!!
Seriously, for a company this big and old and established, I have to say, the management are idiots.

Suddenly I became a COACH junkie!

I'm blaming it all on hubby!
He was soooo not helping me at all!
Whenever I flaunted a Coach bag at him, he will say, "oh that is nice.. u better get it before somebody else does.. u will never get it this cheap again.."

It all started last 30th November, the Coach Fall/Holiday Clearance Day!
Crazy as it sounds, check out the lines at the Coach boutique The Gardens Midvalley Megamall on the 1st day of the clearance. It's totally nuts! I had to line up alone because strollers were not allowed into the boutique, hence, hubby stay outside with the kids while mommy went crazy all by herself! opsss.. hehe..

And thanks to my very supportive hubby who were communicating with me from the side window, I instantly bought this, my third Coach handbag, the Coach Bleecker Sophie Winter White Leather, style # 12406 at 30% off!

Check out its beautiful Coach Heritage Tattersall lining!

Am I done? U bet!
Oh no, it's not over yet..
The very next day, I went to check out the Coach boutique at KLCC and again, with the hubby's comment "that is a very classic design.. u must get that", I bought my forth Coach, the Coach Large White Leather Carly , style # 10616..
Yes, don't tell me, it's another white leather!
I know! I know!
Ok, shut up!

 

..it comes with soft baby blue sateen fabric lining.. soooo pretty!!

So, then again, I'm blaming hubby, as usual, coz a few days later, while I was happily playing with my new toys, he said "wish the Carly would come in black".. and it got straight to my head!
So, I called up all Coach boutiques in Malaysia searching for the possibility of them having a black leather Carly. And since there aren't any, I went back to the main source - Ebay!!
There were several Large Black Leather Carly up on ebay but if course, being a long-time ebayer myself (ehemm) I will not jump straight into the pond but I spent 2 weeks googling and searching for a trusted seller and tips on how to check on the authenticity as ebay is very popular place for fake items..

My research paid off well when i successfully grabbed a bargain on the Coach Large Black Leather Carly, style # 10616 which as soon as it arrived, I straight away took it to Coach boutique at KLCC to check for its authenticity!
All the salesgirls came straight at me to look at my spanking fifth Coach acquisition and gawk at the bargain I got as it was really cheap compared to the price here and it is brand new and genuine!

Oh, and that's just the Coach handbag.. we have not yet talked about the Wristlets.. hehe ;) *wink*

just some pics of the boys..

Abang Amin doing the Ultraman dance..
don't ask me how or where he learned this..
I am baffled by it myself!
Amin's gonna turn 4 years old this 30th Nov.

Here's adik Arif getting his groove under the sofa..
I'm still wondering how he managed to get his legs under there.
Arif has just turned 7 months.
