Kawan baik

This is among things I'll never leave home without.

Top: Channel, dibeli di Parkson KLCC, hadiah 1st annivessary tak silap. Sambil shopping sambil boleh dapat point bonuslink.


Bottom: Dior, mama bought in UK for 35 pound. My favourite! Kemana2 duk pakai ni je.


Tapi spec2 I dedua dah senget benget uols. Pakai sungguh ye sampai senget. Actually tak suka simpan dalam box dia, sselamba je sumbat dalam handbag kekadang tu.

I hate it when it’s too dark to wear sunglasses, sebab aku suka melaram pakai spec hitam ni. I'm afraid people will label me as a show off when I'm wearing glasses and there is no sun outside. Gila ke apa pakai spec redup2 ni kan but I HAVE to wear them!

My eyes are quite sensitive to sunlight so mende ni wajib dibawa ke mana2. Iyolah, nak pakai tu pakai je la, banyak pulak alasan heheh.

My niece, Kaleela with her sunnies. Comel gila budak2 pakai spec ni kannn :)

Ada sesiapa lagi yang berkawan baik dengan sunnies ni?

Koleksi kaset lama

I still have few of my old cassette tapes and old CDs, old = 5-13 years back. The tapes and CDs ni termasuk la yang original dibeli di kedai2 CD and also the amateur mixed ones; mix tapes and CDs friends made for me and tapes or CDs of various songs I made myself. Entah boleh guna ke tak.

Most of the cassette tapes dah selamat dibuang sejak zaman aku mampu beli CD and dapat mewarisi cd2 dari abang2 aku. Ada lagi saki baki ni, I just don't have the heart to dump them. Aku kan berjiwa halus.

See, ada jugak mende aku tak buang ok. Adik aku asyik marah aku sebab suka buang barang. Aku bukanlah sekejam yang ko sangka.

Kaset2 dan cd2 ini captured my entire youth through music. Oh, tak semua kaset dan CD aku to ori. Ada gak beli kat uptown, Pasar Malam and Petaling Street. Student lagi beb masa tu, duit cukup2 makan je. Duit elaun I untuk makan + minyak. Dari aku beli ori baik beli cetak rompak, leh gak saki baki duit tu gi beli baju.

Note : Kena kasi credit kat adik gua gak, half of the collection dia punya. My half of collection dah buang/ hilang/ dalam kereta etc. Adik gua lagi gila beli kaset and CD. Duit belanja dia no. 1 memang khas beli CD and buku. Makan no. 5.

Banyak jugak kaset and CD yang hilang/ patah covernya. Dalam banyak2 kaset bawah ni, kaset Cake one of my favourite. Adalah sorang peminat aku kasi. Wah peminat tu hahaha. Layan gila nak2 time tengah stress/long dictance journey/traffic jam. Aku yang short term memory ni leh hapal satu album tu tau.

Kaset KRU pun ada, wehh ni favourite gua sejak zaman skolah lagi.

CD zebrahead yang aku pinjam dari fai mana?? fai ko amik balik ke?
I'm thinking of throwing these away, koyak, patah, CD/kaset hilang tah kemana
Ha yang pic bawa ni saje nak tunjuk, these are among my favourite layan masa naik LRT. Yang ni di simpan kat bilik I. Sayang. Ye2 gua gila boyband and lagu cute suatu ketika itu. Sugarbabes, O-town, M2M and Britney Spears. Tak kisah aa tak rock ke apa ke, I buy music for my personal preference, telinga aku yang nak dengar.

Dah siap kemas baru pasan ada satu laci lagi kaset and CD adikku (campur turun temurun I punya). So now I'm very sure where most of my sister's allowances went to. CD jepun, korea and arab pun ada. Very international.

Zaman2 beli CD ni dah berlalu kot. People nowadays don't buy CDs anymore kot, ke aku je? In fact segala TV shows, movies, music etc are all digital. Tayah susah2 beli CD.

Sekian la entry kenang kenangan zaman muda2.

Rahsia princesskoda

Rentetan dari entry ermayum, maka terbitlah entry ini. Terlebih dahulu thanks to Ermayum sebab sudi menjawab persoalan yang membelenggu diri ini :) Thanks banyak skit sebab sebut adiacun ;)

I am often fascinated by blog names and how they structured it ie, links etc. Wonder if there is a story behind them. I am a fan of unique, memorable names. I always want to make sure I have a something catchy name for my blog. Tapi hasilnya pada nama blogku ini, pelik tapi benar.

I chose princesskoda sebabkan nama kenderaanku yang baru dibeli ketika itu (sekarang still ada and dah mula buat perangai) and seemed like an easily remembered site name, Princess + Skoda. Nama depan Princess suka suki diletak bagi kawankan dengan nama skoda tu. Pastu rasa sweet sikit bila refer diri as princess, gitu.

My yellow skoda yang baru diservice

Patut nama blog ni princessskoda with triple S. Tapi pasal gelojoh sangat create nama, ter miss satu S tu, mak jadilah princesskoda with only double S.

So telahan ermayum yang princesskoda adalah watak favourite princess I adalah tidak benar ye. Eh ada ke wujud karakter Princess Koda di muka bumi ni?


And now you know the reason for the name of my blog. So dengan ini secara suka sukinya nak tag ctfad, qellissabb, ana, atau orang2 lain untuk tampil kehadapan terangkan story behind your blog name (url), that if your blog name is unique atau tak guna nama sendri.

Sekian terima kasih.

Purse

Fuh nasib ada pic2 ni, sempat la buat entry ni :) Sementara ingat dan takde topik (kang citer pasal spital je ada yg boring hehe) and since tag ni dekat di hatiku, I buat tag ni dulu ye. Tag dari qellissa :)

1. Snap the picture both inner and outer of the wallet.

I thought it would be fun to ‘literally’ show you, in pictures, what’s in my wallet. Tgk dari jauh je la.

Inner

2. Introduce your wallet brand, price, where you buy

LV monogram canvas wallet hadiah from husband so price adalah rahsia. Bought in masa trip to Paris end 2008. The only complaint is the coin pocket. It is a little small and a little hard to get coins out of. Tapi kalau bawak handbag/ clutch kecik2 I don't use this purse. Or kalau kena bermalam di hospital ke, I just use it my smaller purses as a spare.

3. Take out whatever inside your wallet (at least 5 pictures)

I have only 1 credit card and the rest are 2 atm card and lots of loyalty and membership cards. I think I should not bring my wallet when going out. Because i tend to spend more than usual hehe.

Duit masa hari di snap. Skrg yilek. Tinggil duit kaler merah 2 helai je. *nanges*

ATM card, credit card, TnG spare, loyalty card
Klinik/hospital card, kad2 sampah? MyKad, liscense.

4. Snap a picture of you with your wallet.

;)

5. Tag 5 person.

ana, k.ina, aishah, sirna, kauthar :)

And to sesiapa berminat nak buat, leh ke entry dia ni untuk copy soalan :)

So what's in your wallet? Berketul2 duit I supposed?

Terompah oh terompah

Misi pergi Melaka selain nak makan adalah nak cari terompah. Tak tau apesal berkenan sangat dengan terompah melaka ni. Terpengaruh dengan cerita 'Terompah Biru' lakonan Catriona Ross and Zainal Alam. Telemovie shown on Astro Ria in 2007, produksi citer Julie Dahlan kot. Mati la kantoi layan drama Julie Dahlan kan, hahahah.

We found one clog shoe shop in Jonker Walk. Surf internet kata you'll see lots of these clog-making shops here. Aku nampak satu kedai ni je. Rabun kot.

Gigih ok mengah2 aku saie kat situ. Ye la, we can easily get a pair of normal shoes everywhere. But I bet if you could not easily get a pair of hand-made wooden terompah siap with macam2 design yang sangat comfy.

Tuan tanah di depan kedai. Nyampah plak tgk berdiri cam tiang.

Fridge magnet terompah

Macam2 design and motif corak ada. Pilih je design kasut and motif pastu dia leh customise ikut size. Cakap je korang nak yang crafted (ukir) clog or painted clog, semua bisa di atur. Yang aku minat bukan design sangat, tapi heels nya. Sangat unik.

Kitorang ada ngintai2 gak uncle kat belakang tu tengah buat terompah, confirm la depa buat sendri, dari potong kayu, ukir dan paint, ukir heels and design penutup atas terompah tu.

Ni seksyen beaded shoes. I tak beli la sebab very the makcik2. Wah kutuk tu. Actually minat gak tapi harganya RM150 above. Tak sesuai la, baik beli Clarks ke berbaloi gak.

Rembatan untuk mak, diri sendri dan anak2 buah.

Menurut tuan kedai, they never/seldom craft or paint the second identical terompah again. Tu yang unik tu. So kalau korang jalan mana2, jarang la nak sama motif corak dengan orang lain.

Kasut tuan tanah. Cantekk tak? Harga RM55 setelah ditawar2. Amik corak simple je. I'm looking for colourful terompah tu tapi maybe not in this kedai. Tak kuasa dah nak jalan2 cari terompah kaler2 bagai, redha je la apa ada kan.

Korang ingat tak these clogs were traditionally used in wet places like toilets or kat surau2 tempat ambil wudhuk? The toilet slippers came in plain red, of course, sekarang dah berkembang pesat jadi macam2 design. Aku teringin gak beli terompah merah tu tuntuk kenang2an tapi husband kata gilo apo jauh2 datang Melaka beli terompah merah.

Saya bangga jadi anak Malaysia!

Webcam dengan laptop baru

My husband sudah balik ke tempat kerjanya. Don't know when he will be back tapi dalam masa sebulan ni la. Dia balik kerja ni jangan aku kena admit hospital awal2 dah. Aminnn.

Video call

Since kat sana dia nak call Malaysia adalah bapak punya mahal, so we use yahoo messenger to make a video call and it works ok. Just ok. Better la than kena call kan, darii kena bayar bil tipon baik beli aku handbag.

All i know is he had minor problems with my webcam; I could see him fine, he could not see me too tapi macam lag sikit voice sync. And the pic is small. Takleh besar satu skrin ke? With yahoo, it used to freeze up constantly and we really couldn't see each other. Maybe there is just something wrong with the connection.

Wah banyak plak complaint, hadapi dengan tabah je la kan.


Lepas ni nak opt for skype la. Which one is better ye? Skype, MSN, YM?

Laptop baru

Nak tau sebab apa gigih dia video call bagai? Sebab nak test mini laptop baru beli ni. Nyampah I! (jelous sebenarnya). Ye la laptop lama dia takde camera, oldskool gila. Tu korang belum tengok handphone dia.

Opss.

I desperately wanted a small laptop for carrying along tanpa meyakitkan bahu ku ini. Wah carry la sangat kan. Ye la senang nak bawak kehulu hilir kan cam ke hospital ke. Lagipun I takleh angkat mende berat.

This is a fantastic little laptop! It has an 18" screen so it is sooo light. Easy to move around and fits in my handbag! Ye la bag I yang medium2 pun muat u. So easy for traveling, I love it and such a great buy! Wah cam aku punya pulak. Dari segi keberkesanannya I don't know la. Janji dari luar nampak meletops kan. Kata memandang dari luaran je.

So hubby, lepas outstation ni leh kita tukar sama suka ye laptop kita? Cuma I tak berkenan la kaler biru tu, pink kaler don't have mehh?

Harga emas semasa RM130.50/gms

Korang thanks ye for the comments on previous entry :) I ok je, lepas kenyang perut and tido, lena, bangun2 esoknya terus ceria. Merajuk 20 min je heheh, pastu tulis entry time sentap memang la kebaboom jadinya entry itu.

Btw, ha amik, tajuk informasi gitu, amik info dari sini. Masak la korang sesiapa yang baru nak kawin tu hehe.

Cerita pasal barang kemas ni, the only jewelry I wear on a constant basis is my wedding or engagement ring. Gilir2 la atau kalau nak feeling mami jarum skit pakai dedua + cincin merisik + cincin batu jade yang mama belikan. Tapi depends on the necklace and bracelet la, kalau emas kuning pakai la emas kuning semua, kalau emas putih pakai la serba emas putih.

Koleksi jade from china + pearl sabah mana sesat tah

Oh I do wear bracelet too. Yang ni tak buang2, pakai sepanjang masa sampai la masa untuk tukar set emas kuning or emas putih.

Wah macam banyak je barang kemas padahal takde maknanya. Kata tak minat.

Kurang minat la barang2 kemas ni. Baik simpan duit tu beli handbag ke baju ke takpun makan. On occasion I will wear my necklace, tapi untuk hari2 biasa jarang pakai sebab aku mempunyai suatu imaginasi dimana penjenayah akan meragut rantai leher ni tatkala keluar dari bank lalu aku akan menangis tak berlagu di situ.

Kalau pakai simpan dalam baju baik takyah pakai kan? Maka, I don't wear it a whole lot. And will wear a watch itupun kalau tak lupa la, furthermore I usually have my handphone with me so my watch is then pointless.

Kecuali nak bergaya la kan. Gaya bebas.

I have my ears pierced (who doesn't?), but I only wear earings when I go out somewhere special. Cuping telinga aku ni dah la tebal, sekejap je dalam sebulan tak pakai mcm nak hampir tertutup so setiap dua minggu sekali kena ingat la untuk pakai earings walau seketika jua. Orang kata cuping tebal ni maknanya degil.

Memang pun. Hehehe.

Aksesori yang sempat diselamatkan

Bangle terbaru yang dirembat, Legacy Stripe Multicolour. Unfortunately too big for my small hand, bila pakai cam nak terkeluar2 dah. Rasa macam nak letgo in case ada orang berminat. Harga boleh dirunding ye.

Lain aksesori biasa2 aku minat gak. Minat kumpul la. Pakai nya nan ado. Pakai tengok kesesuaian baju.

So aksesori apa or barang kemas mana yang korang sentiasa pakai?

Organize la sangat

Selamat hari Rabu kawan2 :), I'm already at home ye bukan lagi kat hospital :) Thanks for all the wishes. Sayang gak korang kat aku ye :) Terharu2. Later2 la update pasal cerita kesihatan ku ye. Ni ha nak cerita barangan berguna yang dibeli di Ikea sebelum masuk wad hari tu.

Ikea Skubb shoe organizer. Digantung di atas (duh). Has 10 openings (mine is black, not white like in the photo). They all have drawers to pull out with as well tapi kena beli asing la. 1 drawer RM16.90. Mahal gak kan? So as solution I bought 2 drawer and the rest guna kotak kasut yang kecik sizenya tu as the drawer.

I guna untuk simpan kasut yang belum pakai u all. Kasut dah pakai kalau simpan situ busuk jadi nya.

Bawah ni Noje Box 38X38, jumpa ni kat children's section. I rasa it meant for storing children's punya toys etc. Hentam je la labu. Boleh store handbag2, ada lagi 2 kotak tapi I simpan dalam kotak tv dengan kotak microwave. Tak payah tunjuk la macam kat rumah kongsi je I tengok.

Kotak bawah ni foldable & saves space when not in use.

Ni la actual nya barang2 baru dibeli itu disalah satu almari sekangkang kera saya. Abaikan baju2 bersepah itu, still under construction (ayat coverline padahal bila masa kemasnya).

Saya suka gadget2 ikea!

Shower cap

.
I'm a fan of shower caps. Takde la fan macam mana sangat tapi kalau lupa bawak cap ni bila travel ke mana2, jadi tak keruan jugak la. Hotel punya shower cap tidak membantu ye, sebab longgar. I have long hair (sekarang sudah dikerat) so tidaklah sepanjang siang malam cuci rambut. Ikut keperluan la. Dan time nak cuci muka, time pakai mask and kekadang time nak makeup pun I will wear shower caps, cam cute je bila pakai walaupun pada hakikatnya tidak. So a shower cap is a necessity in my life.

Tadi beli yang baru di Watson. Taraaaa.

So this entry semata2 to let you know that I bought this and that I am absolutely thrilled with it.

*pompom*pompom*

I have never ever come across any as pretty as this, siap ada reben bagai. Ok la maybe it just me yang terjakun sikit. Selalu beli yang standard pattern tu. Ala yang ada polkodot2 tu lepas tu leh see thru tu.

I wanted something that kept my hair dry and also looked great hanging in the bathroom.

Rasa macam gadis jepun la, motif?

Ada orang nak bet suh saya keluar jalan2 pakai shower cap ni. Cam kai snow cap katanya. Ada berani?

Weekend bag

.
Introduction

Weekend ni sungguh bz. Baru jemput my PIL from KLIA, back from Mekkah. Banyak la ole2. Nanti esok2 I buat entry pasal ni k. So since dah balik sini, bila terpadang bag yang di usung dari rumah sendri ke rumah PIL ni teringin pulak nak cerita pasal weekend bag.

Korang ada tak luggage weekend bag yang digunakan untuk mengangkut barang2 keperluan 1-3 malam untuk short trip ke mana2 atau sebagai hand carry? Ok la tak semestinya kesayangan, tapi since tak ada bag lain so bag tu je la yang diguna pakai maka digelar sebagai bag kesayangan kononnya.

Weekend bag #1

Presenting handcarry bag berjasaku

Trust me, it may lookk small but it can fit at least 5 thirts/blouse, a jeans, a short, a thin towel and your toiletries.

Ex-boss

I really love this bag although I don't really like the person who gave me this bag. Amboi straight to the point. She's my boss masa kat old company. Lorat and kalut sikit tapi kerja dia memang bagus la kot. Motif dapat bag ni? I arranged her trip (atas urusan kerja ofkos) to Paris etc tapi semasa urusan nak ke sana banyak la dia complaint2 and push2, standard la kan govt suka bagi kerja last minute. Nak pergi lagi sminggu with top level people so kerja memang banyak skit. I have to deal with wisma putra, embassy, arrange itenary and logistic for their visit kat sana lagi, deal with conference people kat Paris, follow up paper work for approval etc. Sampai kena stay back2 nak uruskan semua.

Tapi lepas dia balik seronok la. Hilang marah bila mendapat hadiah bag itu. Materialistik kah? No no, perception berubah kat dia actually. She's not that cruel. Dia juga punya hati dan perasaan. Dia banyak bagi moral support when I lost my baby.

And I will carry this bag tiap kali berulang alik ke rumah PIL sejak 4 tahun ni.

Weekend bag #2

Wah panjang mukadimah. Sebenarnya nak cerita I baru beli weekend bag yang baru. Jeng jeng jeng.

This is a wide mouth bag ye kawan2. It have a frame wide enough to stay open on its own for easy packing atau dalam bahasa mudahnya sumbat barang2.

I think this so called weekend bags or what ever u named it are the necessary items that you should never missed. Cam bag pink gorjes di atas ni kan, it can fit bigger items like clothes, towels and other necessities and served as the main storage for me to fit segala harta qorun for our weekend trip.

Very roomy bigger space compared to weekend bag #1 that easily fits everything.


Conclusion

So that's about it. Gunalah bag sebegini coz it able to carry everything that you need for a few days of relaxation away from hiruk pikuk kota. Wahhh.

Enjoy your Monday guys :)

.

Baju tido gojes

.
My favourite is none other than my knee length nightgown with cute little bunnies and hearts on it. This nightgown is my spouse’s favorite item of my clothing because he always thinks it would look cute on me. Well I memang cute pun pakai kaftan lusuh pun tetap gorjes hoccay heheheheh.

Tak perlu la dimodelkan ye baju lusuh ini, tak sesuai untuk tatapan umum

I'm the type tak suka simpan baju2 lama, ada je baju2 lama mesti disedekahkan or buang terus la kalau tak semenggah sangat. Tujuannya tidak lain tidak bukan, supaya dapat beli baru bila tengok almari kosong.

Tu pun salah satu taktik ye jika husband anda jenis yang takkan benarkan shopping selagi almari masih penuh.

Tapi saya sayang sangat baju ni, no specific reason why I kept it on for so long today. It is very thin cotton and smooth to the touch, the kind of clothing you can live in. We all have that favorite worn item that we just can’t relinquish to the trash and this is mine :)

Ha bebaru ni, my mom's friend ada belikan dia satu pyjama from Mekah. Made in China of course, tapi sangat cantik. Mama tak muat so she gave it to me. Yeay best2. Size adalah XL hoccay. Pelik bin ajaib camne aku leh muat. Besar la skit tapi apa barang tido pakai baju kecik2 kan? Hetam saje la janji dapat pyjama tu. Ngidam ni.

Kaki adalah senteng skit maklumlah I size model (sila muntah)

I like silky pyjama's or gowns with straps, it makes me feel feminine. Dan dan buat statement gitu, kot2 la ada reader bermurah hati nak hadiahkan pyjama sebegini. Wahhhh banyak cantik.

So apakah favourite nightwear anda selain kaften?

.

Dinner bag.

Korang pakai bag macam mana ye kalau gi day/evening/event/ jemputan kahwin di hotel or dewan2?

Kalau colour bag tu matching dengan baju (sebab tak banyak dinner bag pun), I use the small size bag for these event, ewah macam la selalu sangat ada jemputan event2 bagai ni kan, padahal jarang2 pun. Btw my bags is too small for my liking la. The smaller version only fits a Mykad and important card, cash, keys and lipstick. I wanted something bigger leh sumbat bunga telur ke doorgift termasuk orang sebelah punya kot2 dia terlupa amik hehe (tu gelojoh namanya).

I have few smaller dinner bag or whatever u named it (ke ini je I ada? Tak jumpa la celah mana I sumbat bag2 kecik I uwaaaa) and I seldom use it because I like to carry my phone and camera with me. It depends on what you need to carry in the bag.

So biasanya belasah je la bawak handbag besar gabak kan gi event2 tertentu ni. Janji matching.

Since I have not bought a new one in a few years so ini lah alasan yang dinanti2 kan untuk menyopping wristlet/ clutch yang baru.

I end up choosing pink colour jugak memandangkan banyak baju2 kurung/kebaya adalah bercolour2 sedemikian. Still I end up buying medium size wrislet, lantak la janji baru kan?? The flap can fit camera inside along my small size purse, keys, lipstick and handphone. Sumbat je.

Wrislet ni leh je dibawa siang2 hari. Ikut kesesuaian tempat, gaya dan keselesaan.

Flats

Pernah dengar brand Cotton-On tak? My sister has one cardigan which she bought in Australia 2 years ago. That was the 1st time I ever heard of this brand. An Aussie brand, Cotton On is cheaper in Malaysia than in Aussie simply because they charge the same price because due to the strong aussie dollar; that's what I thought.

Pic below taken from here

And I knew that Cotton On has opened in OU and Pavillion for a while, but I ’ve never really got the chance to check out the stuff, until yesterday. They have a lot of t-shirts, leggings, cardigans, tank tops and tunics and they really do have some really great stuff. Tapi pergi time sale + long weekend ni mmg sesak la skit.

I bought 2 plain t-shirts yang kaler lebih kurang sama; RM19 each bersize S

Also I bought ballet flats that sell 2 for RM 60. Pening ok when it comes to making choices to so many colors and only get to pick 2 just because I want to make it RM 60, otherwise it wuld be RM39 per pair.

Btw I’m never a fan of flats, because they make feel clumsy. But sometimes, there are times in your life when you need one dihari2 kecemasan. These flats are so light and flexible, you can fold them and chunk them into a nice pouch.

This is my favourite shoe; macam makcik2 ke? Tu yang nak tukar imej skit pakai flat.
Overall, think the more affordable version of TOPSHOP/TOPMAN. Therefore i say this shop is worth making a trip down!
