outing with the inlaw

my only mission for today was to get a pair of school shoes for Dayana. but sometime yesterday mil's iPhone refused to charge, so we went for a quick trip - kononnye lah - to Sg Wang. her phone was still under warranty.

i haven't been to sg wang in ages, mainly because 1) too many people, sesak gila nak mati, 2) if you go at the wrong time it's impossible to get parking, 3) given the chance you'd end up going back with a dozen of shopping bags filled with stuff that you might not need.

luckily we left the house at 10am, i didn't have to curse the traffic, i didn't have to curse the parking lot. but funnily enough, upon inspection at the store, there didn't seem to have anything wrong with the phone, the guy cucuk je the charger, it miraculously displayed the dead battery charging indicator. weird. serious. mil had tried plugging it in a couple of times yesterday, the screen was blank, unresponsive. i tried it too. yet there it was, happily charging itself at the store, silently mocking its owner.

hmmm. i think ade udang disebalik mi. oh well =P.

since we were already at Sg Wang, what better thing to do than to go window shopping eh? =P. window shopping ok. i didn't buy anything for myself there. i was tempted by a cute short dress by Like, but for the price, erm... i'd rather wait til i come across a diamond in the rough - whatever and whenever that is. serious i haven't been to Sg Wang for such a long time, i didn't have any reason to (except to the neighboring Low Yat). so i guess that certain friend of mine was right, Sg Wang wasn't such a bad place for shopping, lol.

what i did find was those Giordano round neck t-shirts that Significant Other likes but seemed to have vanished from most of the other G outlets. they came up with a new type of t-shirt in a much thinner material, which Significant Other didn't like. so i bought 4, each in a different color since i didn't know if i'd ever find them again. colors were limited, though.

blue, orange, white, pink

oh and i bought Dayana a pair of shoes! pink again unfortunately. there was a black-and-orange combo that seemed to match her uniform better but she insisted on the pink. i wanted to get her a pair of sandals too, but since it wasn't pink, she didn't give them the light of day T__T. her princess shoes has been enduring heavy duty usage, it looks like it's reaching the end of its life (aku sepasang kasut comes to mind). and so she's been wearing her new shoes at home ever since we got back petang tadi. ntah2 she wants to go to bed with her shoes too.

bum equipment tu, hoh

recently she seems to like to throw tantrums right about before she falls asleep. cranky kut. i let her be, the more you tegur her the more you aggravate her, and the more she annoys me @_@

i wasn't the only one buying today. mil bought a couple of button-down t-shirts too. hehe. i was sorely tempted to buy something... i dunno. i'm practicing the go-home-and-think-first method. needs vs wants (although if i use this reasoning for every single purchase i want to make, i'd probably end up buying nothing at all, save for the usual household groceries, hehe).

me wanted this T__T

we stopped for lunch at Teppanyaki. my treat... bukan selalu treat orang, heh. Dayana pau-ed my chicken. and as usual, she didn't eat anything else but the chicken. mil commented that it didn't matter that their service was slow, the restaurant was still jammed packed with hungry customers. true.

since Dinara kene abandon the whole day, Bibik brought her next door to play with the neighbor's kid.

on a different note, here's me dissecting each and every one of my wraps. one per entry and when i feel like it (and hopefully i can deduce which one is permastash!).

wrap#1: didymos natural linen size 5, watermelon grad by lizzy9.
60% cotton, 40% linen (as per tag). older version, no middle markers.

oh btw, i found something cool on FB.

my name is 'I'.
my problem is 'LOVE'.
my solution is 'YOU'.
