Letter

I kind of like opening my letter box every day as I never know what is waiting for me! Actually most of the times the letters I received are bills to be paid and newsletters. But still, I love the anticipation. We never know what surprise is waiting for us! :)

Just 2 days ago, I opened my mailbox and was surprised to see an alien letter addressing to me. Is from India!!!! Wow I never expect the letter indeed as I did not give the organization my address in the first place. A few months back, I made a small donation to this children organization in India and had only sent them an email telling them about the bank transfer I made. I received a reply from them and subsequently they said they will send me a receipt when they received my funds. I thought they were too busy so did not really bother when they did not send me via email anything as I guess they must be really busy with their work. Thus it is really kind of a nice surprise to me to receive the letter. They must have gotten my address from the bank transfer document. The letter is a very normal looking letter telling me about the work they are doing and the way they will use the donation but it really made my day! :)

Johor Shopping Trip

I recently went on a 2-day 1 night Johor shopping trip with 2 friends. It was fun and ....physically challenging too. We were on our feets for probably 6 to 8 hours straight on both days with meal times as our rest breaks. Was it supposed to be a holiday or a boot camp? haha. :)

It must have been a long time since I went Malaysia. Now the Malaysia checkpoint has moved and looks great!

Shopping was enjoyable. I did not buy a lot (1 cap, 2 pairs of shoes and 3 pieces of clothing), more of window shopping but the shopping deals looked great. I like Tebrau City, big and spacious and not crowded. We were there till nearly 11pm. City Square paled in comparison.

We stayed at Puteri Pacific that is just a stone throw away from City Square. Our hotel deal is a pretty good one as we booked it just 2 days before our stay so got it under last minute reservations deal online. Under the triple sharing package, we have 3 breakfasts, late check out at 4 pm, 1 complimentary pizza as well as snacks and drinks from the fridge in our room.

My friends are great shoppers and their company are fun. Love going with them! We also indulged in good food at affordable costs. Hmmm.... I better check the weighing machine now.... haha.

Earthquake

Today news is on a earthquake in Turkey. Not another earthquake. There have really been a number of earthquakes recently, in Haiti, in Chile and now in Turkey. Hopefully the earth calms down soon so that there will not be so many people left homeless.

Eye Shadow

Today we had to attend a birthday lunch for my uncle who is turning 79 years old. My niece who is going to be 4 years old was pestering my sister to put on eye shadow for her. When I heard it, I was shocked!!!! She is so young but already know about such things...... haha

Her aunt, me must be indeed too out of touch with fashion haha. I can count with my fingers the number of times I have put on eye shadow. I do not even know how to put on eye shadow myself. The few times that I put on eye shadow are due to the help from my sister or some makeup artists. They deemed me too unkempt to attend some weddings that I have to play sister role etc and other occasions so have decided to help me.

Nowadays children are more exposed to stuffs from the adult world. In the children concert, I saw that the teachers put on full make up for them already even though they are 3 or 4 years old only.

Either I am too out of fashion or they must be too in fashion haha :)
