I'm broke!

Hello,

I'm broke broke after spending a lot of money on shopping. It has been soooooo long that I spend money uncontrollably after getting married :) Well, it's a bonus & a year end sales month.

Image from my Instagram here

I went to Setia Alam City Mall with my husband to check out the new shopping place. Unfortunately, this shopping mall was a fun place for shopaholic. Lot of brands suitable for my style, age and like. We only walked 1 1/2 floors because along the way I've spent around RM300++. Duh!

Some of the items that I bought are:

Basic tee and cardigan from H&M

Flats from Charles & Keith

Man watch strap from Fossil

My 2013 resolution is to reduce 7kg of my weight. Maybe the resolution was created only to have an excuses to shop more. Training gears that I newly bought are:

Long sport bra by Reebok - it's only RM55 from Al Ikhsan Factory Outlet.

Yoga mat by Nike - it's only RM59 from Al Ikhsan (Alamanda)

Dumbbell 2lb (800gram) only RM9.20 from Fitness (Alamanda)

My husband comment "gear dah macam professional tapi setakat aerobik je boleh kurus ke?".. Grrrrr

The most unexpected purchase is this Sony A290 (second hand item). I got this for RM450. Cheap meh :) It was so irresistible even though I've never plan on getting any DSLR. For a long period maybe I should only use the auto settings. Hehehe

When I'm broke, the best option is to stay at home every weekend. I got a list of pending craft projects such as sewing a new basic curtain, sewing a new pajama trouser and learning more on how to crochet :)

Enough rambling for today

Until next time

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

One Piece

Original picture from here

Hi dear darlings,

Currently I'm super obsessed with anime One Piece. Most of my time was consumed watching this series without fail which now, I've reached episode 100 within fortnight. This anime really.. really.. really.. funny which I can't stop laughing watching it. I can't stop crying too when watched the sad part especially episode about Nami, the navigator. I'm not going to talk about this anime summary as you can Google about it. What I wanted to touch here is about the characters, i.e. starting from whom I like most to the lesser. :)

Roronoa Zoro

I like Zoro because he is a bad-ass (pardon my word) and handsome (big point on this criteria) man. Fierce, no fear and brave. He fight seriously and damn (pardon my word) it's so smart :) ngeeee. He is a swordsman in the ship and a second fighter among the crew.

Ps: He's number one because of his super good look :)

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy is the main character of One Piece which act as a captain of his nakama (crew). He's a simple minded man and funny but most of the time he's so stupid,careless and burden to the crew. However, he is the strongest among his crew, an understanding friend, helpful when needed and firm when making his decision. This is the funniest character of One Piece.

Sanji

Another good look character in the house! This is Sanji, the cook of the pirate ship. He love to cook and really cared about his foods. He cooked for the crew members especially for Nami and any other beautiful girl guest on board. He's strong and his main fighting skills is lower part of his body, to preserve his delicate hands. I love his kicking fighting style. Fuyooo!

Nami

I love Nami after watching her special episode which involve the Arlong and Arlong's crew. She's the navigator of the ship and her dream is to draw world map. She's an important key person in the ship as she is the one to hold all the crew together and keep them well behave. Well, what can you expect when boys traveling together?...it's a mess! She hold and control the ship money too but so stingy to spent it. It's only for the ship supplies and ..... HER CLOTHES.

Tony Tony Chopper

OMG...! Chopper was so kawaii. He's the most cutest character in One Piece. His look, his voice, his character, his everything was so cute.. A crying baby but at the same time so brave to take care of himself. I can't stop laughing watching him :) ps: he is a doctor in the ship.

There are another ship's crew in One Piece that is Usopp and Nico Robin. However I'm not into these two characters. Usopp is a big NO while Nico Robin has the potential, but maybe after she's open up her heart to express more of herself.

More about One Piece here.

Watching One Piece make me stop doing a lot of things especially crafting and reading. But I can't stop it and I don't want to miss it. To make myself productive (so pathetic), I create a rewarding program for house chores. Every house chores I did, I can reward myself with up to three episodes. With that program, my house is super clean and well organized :) Hihihihi

I managed to slot in some diy projects along the way while watching the series. It's a simple projects where you can do while watching TV. I'll post it later yeah babe :)

Fuh... ok let stop the rambling here.

bye
