I thought of waiting for iPhone 4, but it seems like I will have to settle with iPhone 3GS first. Justin dropped my phone, AGAIN!!! This time, the cover came off. Sigh…Can tape it back, but still, it would get loose after a while. Hubby said just tahan and wait la, since it’s coming soon, but I beh tahan jor.

I’m aware of the antenna issue about iPhone 4, but I think it’s cool to do video call. I would pass the iPhone 3GS to hubby, and get iPhone 4 later. Then, I’ll probably ask him to get another iPhone 4 since he is using 2 phones mah. Then only can we both do video calls! But I know my hubby la, he won’t do such thing wan. Blek…

I’m thinking of getting a iPad too, but that can wait. It’s not for me but for Justin. Hubby’s friend can help us to get one from US, but I’m not sure about that ipad warranty here. Is it worldwide?

Seriously, I think I’ve become an iFancee. Anything from the Apple store seems luring to me.

We went to a food fair last Saturday and ended up buying so much crisps, organic rice, box juice and etc. The price was way much cheaper than retailer as it’s a food trading fair, so most goods were selling off at wholesale price, on the last 2 days of the fair. If you are living in Bangkok, also check out these fairs which offer great bargains and good deals. And no, the food on sale is not expiring soon!

So here I am, blogging, crapping, chatting and working away with a pack of fried banana chips on my table. D*mn, these banana chips are really delicious! I should take some phentremene later to reduce my guilt.

What I like about Bangkok is it’s a shopping heaven. Not only that there are a few good places to shop, there are a lot of great fairs throughout the year where you can get great bargains and good deals. We bought most of our household and furniture at these fairs now, and most of the items are sold at much cheaper price as comparing to the stores.

Too bad I missed the BIH and BIG sales again this year, so let’s forget about getting a new set of memory foam mattress for the kids. It’s not urgent, so we can wait. Things like bedsheets, memory foam mattress toppers, pillows and etc can be easily bought at these fairs. I think I’ve seen memory foam mattress selling there at previous years, but you really need to have time and patience to go through all the booths looking for the things in your shopping list.

Don’t worry about the quality. It’s the SAME thing, SAME brand, and SAME design, but selling at much cheaper price at these fairs. Don’t ask me why. To me, that it’s a bonus to shoppers!

Celebrating Chinese New Year here is such a bliss. We don’t have to decorate our house because I’m too lazy to do so. Furthermore, our guests will only be here for a day or 2 and off we go to the villas in Hua Hin. So, why do I need to decorate my house? I don’t even have time to sweep the leaves in my garden.

Last Sunday, we went to Siam Paragon, Platinum Fashion Mall and Central Cheangwattana all in a day and make full use of the clearance sale everywhere. Frankly, we didn’t buy much as I have some shopping previously, so it’s more for Justin. It’s not easy buying things for him, and it’s best to let him pick what he wants. Needless to say, he chose all Ben 10 this time! Even the underwear is by Ben 10. LOL!

Anyway, the kids don’t have to dress in new clothes at all time as we will be in Hua Hin. So, they will most probably be wearing their swimsuits in the day, and then only change to their new clothes after the swim. See la, you don’t really need a lot of clothes if you stay by the beach.

Now, all I need to do is to buy some angpaos. Yeap, the little red packets!!!

The store owner of Angel Tomorrow, Sangwan, emailed me days ago, asking me if I’m interested to check out her used book store. I love buying books for my kids, and upon knowing that she has a lot of used books from US, I wanted to bring my kids there for a look. It’s not easy to locate her new store, but if you are interested to find out about the map and location, please check out her website.

She has recently moved her store here from a shopping complex, so it’s not fully furnished yet. But nonetheless, it didn’t stop our kids from checking out the books.

Justin and Isabelle helped themselves with the books as soon as we got here. Of course, they can only look at the pictures as both of them can’t read by themselves yet.

I found that most of the books are still in good condition. It’s not easy to get English books here, except from Asia Books or Kinokuniya, as far as I know. But if the used books are still in good condition, I won’t mind buying some for my kids. Did I mention that the books are selling at reasonably cheaper price too?

The children books section.

There are books for adults too.

As we were browsing through the books, the store owner was busy unpacking the pallets!

There are still a lot of books in boxes, but Justin couldn’t wait to dig them out.

I bought a cook book by Jamie Oliver, and hubby got a book about business management. Mmm…another cooking book for me, and if I can cook as well as Jamie, I should check out Lipofuze reviews as I would be over weight soon. LOL!

My kids chose most of their books by themselves, but I got them 2 books from Dr. Suess too.

I don’t know why they just don’t like Dr. Suess, maybe the illustrations are not attractive to them. I shall keep the books away until they are ready.

Needless to say, both our kids love this book store a lot.

I love to see my kids spending time on books…even if they can’t read yet.

So, here are some of the books we got…

The used books we bought are all in good condition.

I’m so happy that Sangwan gave me a GREAT DISCOUNT on the books, and we saved so much on the purchase!

So, if you are interested to get used books imported from US, please check out Angel Tomorrow.

I want Isabelle to have long hair because her hair is very soft and fine. Besides that, she doesn’t have a lot of hair, cutting them off will make her head looks big!

But the thing is, she only lets me tie her hair to school. For the weekends, she wants to put her hair down. She will run away once I’ve combed her hair and she will scream “Don’t want to tie hair.” I don’t know why, maybe she thinks she looks nicer with her hair untied?

Like most mothers with daughters, I love to collect a lot of hair bands and clips for her. Every time I tie her hair, I will ask her to pick one as accessories. Sometimes she will, but at other times, she said don’t put anything on her hair. Maybe her hair is really too fine and less, she don’t feel comfortable with the clip or head band on her head.

But then, how to resist not having these nice hair clips from LittleToez.com? They are Amélie B Handmade hair accessories, and I’ve always had a soft spot for handmade products. I think these clips will look very pretty on Isabelle, when she’s wearing her princess dresses.

Thus, I will slowly “influence” her into loving hair accessories. She’s always known as a vain pot, so maybe she will love to have pretty hair clips on her hair one day. In the mean time, mommy will keep on collecting as many hair clips as possible. LOL!

I’ve finally got my new toy, after thinking and thinking and looking and looking and thinking and thinking for so long…It’s going to take me a while to “understand” this new toy better as currently I’m totally mesmerized and lost with it. LOL!

Once I get the hang of it, I will get myself another micro sd to store the pretty things that come out of it. Right now, there’s nothing yet. LOL! I’m still very very lost with it!

I had a bad headache all of a sudden yesterday morning, maybe it’s due to staying up late the night before watching 2 movies with hubby. These days, I can’t stay up late. No more night owl for me, if not I will surely wake up blur blur for the whole day. But I didn’t want to disappoint the kids as we told them that we would go shopping, so thank god the paracetamol helped a lot and my headache was gone when we reached Platinum Fashion Mall.

As usual, this place was packed with shoppers. It took us awhile to find a parking lot. Once we parked our car, we went to the food court first. The pad thai kung (prawn) here is very nice! Then, we started shopping. Honestly, I don’t think we bought a lot, as comparing to our previous trips to Platinum. Maybe I’ve bought a lot of clothes already, and we don’t really need much now.

Isabelle busy sorting out her new purchases

So, what did we buy?
For Isabelle:

A white cotton dress. I love to get dresses for her.

A Thai traditional set, and she looks very cute in her first set, thus we bought her another set.

She’s in love with Marie the Cat lately

Isabelle’s hair accessories, I can never stop myself from buying more.

She chose something like Crocs Jibbitz, in Hello Kitty and Melody, which can be placed on her Crocs sandals

For myself, I bought a long maxi dress. Really dunno where and when can I wear that. LOL! Besides that, I bought some socks, belts, shawls, and tees and shorts.

Can bring these to the beach next week

Mommy is crazy about shawls lately

My new bling bling belts

I didn’t get clothes for Justin because we couldn’t find the Power Ranger clothes he wanted. Maybe next time. But like Isabelle, he chose some “Jibbitz” too.

Justin wanted dolphins and seahorses

My kids got some spring toys.

Cute or not? Wholesale price is only about RM15 or less

But what really puzzled me is hubby agreed to buy this for Justin…

Justin bought this giraffe cap

How is he going to wear this giraffe cap? For gai gai ah? LOL!

Before you start any guessing game, the title above is not referring to me. LOL! I was pretty busy yesterday because hubby needed some work to be done urgently, thus I didn’t follow SIL to the banks and our manicure sessions. She went out alone, and we were pretty surprised to see her coming back late.

Apparently, her car couldn’t be started, and she had to get some help from the mechanics. Thank god she was in Future Park, so it’s not hard to get anything you need at this mall! When she was waiting for her car, she felt sick and rushed to the toilet and puked. Seriously, what comes into your mind when you see a woman vomiting in the toilet? Food poisoning? Or she’s pregnant? I would have guessed the latter! I don’t have to go in detailed about the symptoms of morning sickness right?

She told me that she already vomited once in the morning, and then again in the afternoon. Both hubby and I asked if she’s pregnant again? LOL! But she said BETTER NOT! I can see why she’s not too keen to have another baby too soon. Maybe she has just gone back in shape and she can wear anything that flatters her figure. It would be a nightmare to get out of shape again so soon.

But then again, most of the maternity clothes are very trendy these days. I should ask her to check out these Trendy Maternity Clothes from Belly Dance Maternity. An expecting mother can find anything from casual wears such as Ingrid and Isabel and Juicy Maternity, to sexy dresses from this web store.

I really like this little red dress by Olian Ponti. It’s fashionable to show off you bump, if you have nice legs during pregnancy!

But before I go any further, I better confirm with SIL if she’s expecting. LOL!

 My internet connection is pretty bad lately, and I don’t know why. I’m the only one having the problem and hubby said he can’t see any difference. It’s quite frustrating when I can’t use a faster line especially when I’m trying to check out some stuffs from some webstores. Yes, I’m shopping online again, and they are all bento related gadgets. I think I’m spending more buying bento stuffs than getting new shoes now. LOL!

Luckily I’m using the money from Paypal, which I hardly touch. Thus, hubby doesn’t say anything about my indulgence in beautifying the kids’ lunch boxes, as long as I don’t pack him any food with Hello Kitty or cute bunnies. LOL!

Frankly, I don’t make much from my blogs these days, and the earning is pathetic. I might as well try my luck at Online Casino and see if I finally have some money luck. I am one of those who lose more than winning when it comes to betting, and not to mention, I don’t have any idea how to win a game! Have anyone win some big bucks from the Video Poker at Online Casinos? I know some friends who won some money from horse racing, but not poker yet. Sometimes, I wonder why certain people really have lucks with it comes to gambling, but too bad, I don’t have any!

So, I wonder how long will the money keep coming in to my Paypal account…
