Divide and Conquer ~ My New Brassieres

Unlike many women out there, I don't like shopping. Maybe because I don't have much money to splurge on myself or perhaps I feel that I already have so many stuffs at home, one more item will make my room spill out it's content. Whatever it is, I dread shopping.

But yesterday I convinced myself that I needed a new bra. The present bras I owned were already quite worn out. They've lost elasticity. So I went to a shop called Tong's Departmental Store and went to the Audrey Brand bra section. The saleslady there was a nice person. She let me select a few bras to try on in the fitting room. I don't really know what is my current size as my weight fluctuates, so I tried quite a few. It was a sale month for Tong's and the ones that I liked no longer has my size. But finally after what seemed like hours, I finally found the perfect fit; a 80B/36B. Pheww... what a relief! But then the saleslady told me that if I select two more, I could get all three for only RM 78.00 instead of RM 41.00 a piece. Darnit... means that I have to look for another two.

Hours passed and I lost count. I'd probably tried almost all the bras they have that was on sale. But with perseverance, I found them. I say I'm quite pleased with my bras heheh ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

This was the first bra I selected and I fits me very well.



This the second one. I don't really like the feel of the material but it still fits.



This one looked fun heheh. What the heck, I wanted out of
my comfort zone (^_−)☆


Well guess there'd be no shopping for me for quite a while (fingers crossed). (=^_^=)

Troublesome Door Finally Fixed

After so many years living with a door that won't shut properly and nobody was able to figure out what's wrong with it, I finally met a brilliant man who fixed it.

This brilliant man I nicknamed "Otroman" studied the door, took measurements and told me that the middle part of the door frame was narrower than the top and bottom. He advised that the only solution was to get a new door with new measurement and that he would be planing a bit of wood from the middle of the door frame to adjust it.

On 12th April 2011, my sister Nancy and I bought a solid new door from Superwood Industries located in Jalan Tuaran. After looking at so many doors, I decided on a 13 paneled solid door with foggy glass windows. Cost me a bomb ~ RM 350.00 but it was worth it heheh. I was unsure about the door's window at first but after the door was properly installed at home, I found that my small living room looked brighter as it let in sun light.

Otroman affixed the door with three hinges instead of two to make it sturdier. He then glazed it twice. I on the other hand had a fun time helping him as well as enjoying the 'view' if you know what I mean hahahaha...


I just love the wood grain of my new door. The wood was naturally pinkish color but I have to glaze it to protect it from the weather.


Thanks Otroman. xoxo ^_^
