Chinese New Year!
Now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations are over, I am so looking forward to ushering in the Year of the Dragon. I followed hubs to a cable wire management store in the neighbourhood recently and was so glad to see FnC (Fun N Cheer) next door. FnC is a shop that sells lots of merchandises from China. When we were there last week, the whole place is filled with Chinese New Year decor items.
I couldn’t resist and bought 2 Red Fabric Lanterns. It cost RM19.90 each. Cheap eh?
I bought a few stalks of fake peonies for my CNY craft. Can’t wait to get started on them
When Ashley saw these Angry Bird angpows (red packets), she asked us to buy for her just because one of them is a girl. I am so not a fan of Angry Birds.
I got this basket from a flower stall at the market yesterday. I’m going to fill it with Mandarin oranges later.
Have you started shopping for Chinese New Year yet?

We went to Sheoh Yan’s favourite mall yesterday – Sunway Pyramid for some last-minute Christmas shopping. One of the must visit shops is of course Cotton On Kids. Right now, they are having a 30% sale on everything. While looking around the store, I saw this RM1 section. I cannot believe my eyes! Hanging on the wall are necklaces, hairbands, wooden alphabets for decorating the room. And the best thing is ……………there is a further 30% off RM1!! Only 70 cents for each item! Here’s what I got.
Sequined Hairband and a flower brooch. The hairband is for Ashley and I think I would be using the brooch myself
Pom pom necklace and Pretty Pink Flower necklace.
Good deal eh? What can you buy with 70 cents nowadays? All these items were priced at RM15 each before the sale. Too bad there are no clothing or socks for RM1. I regret not buying more for my friends’ kids. Not sure if they have the same things at the outlet in 1Utama. Perhaps I should hop over one of these days.

……….. shopaholic
Ashley’s stash of hairbands and hairclips.
I just cannot resist each time I see the hair accessories for girls. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t have them when I was a kid? When Ashley was a baby and up till about 2 years old, she did not want to have anything on her hair. Luckily she did not mind when got older. I love buying them. I think all girls should have pretty hair bands and hair clips Besides shopping for clothes and shoes, I am into hair accessories for my daughter as well. Can’t imagine what would happen if I am addicted to buying mobile computer workstations eh?
The latest loot 
I got her the flamingo hair tie because flamingoes are her favourite animals since they are pink.

Besides shopping for clothes and shoes, one of my weaknesses is buying bedding. I just love having different design bedding in my bedroom. Having the right bedding helps to produce a calming effect and also enhances the bedroom. According to some sleep experts, simple indulgences can make a difference in how a person feels about sleep. Simple things like the colour of the bedding or a fresh scent on your bedsheets can impact how a person feel about going to bed or how they sleep. Comfort and cleanliness are important for a good night sleep. If you are looking for luxury bedding to create your private sanctuary, do check out Versai-La, the one-stop shop for luxury lines, luxury sheets and luxury bedding. Versai-La has over 500 stunning designs and 100 colours for you to spruce up your home. Their products feature the finest Giza quality Egyptian cotton sheeting fabrics.

A couple of months ago, I found some really nice wooden alphabet door plaques that was on sale at Mothercare. I quickly looked into the bin to find A-S-H-L-E-Y. Alas, I could only find the letter H. So I thought nevermind, just put an H on her room door since that’s her first alphabet of her surname.
Some time later, hubs brought us to BSC (our first time there since its renovation) as he wanted to look for cigars and I found the letters A and S from a kiddy store there. I bought them and formed…
The A and S are not as nice at the pink H eh?
Recently at another Mothercare store, I found the letters L and E.
Cute? The wooden plaque for L is actually for a boy’s room as the alphabets have pictures of dinosaurs, animals and insects. The pink ones are all fairies. So now the missing letter is Y. Have to keep on looking to complete Ashley’s name. It’s so hard to find simple things like this over here. Perhaps I should just make one myself ^^

It’s Sunday and the long weekend is coming to an end already. Not going to do much today. On 1Malaysia Day, we decided to check out the newly renovated old wing of 1 Utama. Jusco has moved and its supermarket and eatery are on the same block now. It was pretty confusing to walk around the old wing. I could not find some of my favourite stores. There are new ones like Cotton On Kids (Yay! no need to travel all the way to Sunway Pyramid anymore), shop that sell garter belts for women, shoe stores and restaurants. We had lunch at C.i Xpress which serve Hong Kong style food. They are a part of the Dragon-i chain. Its concept is similar to a well-known restaurant in Hong Kong whereby patrons place their orders at the cashier. There is a menu board next to the cashier, pay and take a number. When your number is shown on the food counter, you have to go and collect it.
I did not take any photos of the food. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. We ordered Ice Coffee Hong Kong style and sad to say, they were pretty bad. I prefer the Ice Coffee from KimGary. After lunch, we walked over to the new wing. Left the mall after spending 5 hours there. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I enjoy shopping very much, especially online shopping at US based stores. Not only is it convenient, I can have access to products from around the world. It is also cheaper to shop online than going to an actual store. I can also send gifts to family and friends without leaving my home. One of my all-time favourite stores is Zappos. I can spend hours on this online store. Another thing which I love about shopping online is the great savings with coupons from BestOnlineCoupons.com. This online coupon service site offers thousands of coupons from hundreds of online stores like Macy’s, Old Navy, Target, Walmart, Red Envelope, Babies R Us and etc. Of course, my favourite is always Zappos coupons.
I just saw one of the special deals available – Save Up To 75% Off Retail at 6pm. Awesome eh? With Zappos coupon code, you can get great discounts on shoes, clothing and accessories. Well, if you are like me who just cannot get enough of shoes and handbags, you may want to look for the Endless Shoes and Handbags coupons. There is up to 45% off all sandals for men, women and children. Gosh, I am getting butterflies in my tummy right now. I am so loving this red Swedish Hasbeens.
