long long journey..

kel and i were testing out the smile capture function on NV9.. turns out that they are only able to detect wide smiles.. so we gave a HUGE grin.. just look at kel.. he look like he won the lottery haha.. =p

bought new baggie for mummy.. gave her a nice surprise.. she loved it =D one thing abt asking mummies to choose their own prezzie is that they'll pick something they like that isn't too expensive.. so kel and i picked one that we think she'll like rather than let her pick..


am super tempted to get this dress from Warehouse @ Wisma.. $203... shld i? shld i not? its nicer in reality.. somehow i can't take a decent pic of it..
i've decided to get a timeless lasting bag.. why? cos i feel that rather than spending moolah on many many many $50-$400 bags i might as well get one bag that i'll use for any occasion (almost.. maybe except for wedding dinners and events like that) like how the french women do it, lining their wardrobe w few, but quality pieces only.. i think its cool.. benefits both my bank account and my wardrobe since my wardrobe is currently suffering from being overloaded w stuff i dun wear/bags i dun carry..
thru the research phase, i realised that timeless bags may not be classic bags but classic bags are timeless bags. timeless bags are usually boring (hence able to withstand the passing of time) whereas classic bags need not be boring.. and hence the search continues.. i've got a couple of options.. only a couple as i intend to use it for work AND play. it must therefore be big enough for A4 documents yet not too formal for wkends.. therefore, many classic bags like the fendi baguette & the channel classic flap are out! i like the prada doctor bag but my mentor is already carrying it so.. no go.. i'll never go for prada's nylon bags so that wipes out 1/2 of watever prada has.. love loewe's amazona but it can only be hand carried.. still, its lovely and is shortlisted.. Furla's doctor bag wld have made the mark but kel said its AUNTIE! Chloe's Victoria tote is nice too and kel actually thinks this is better than furla's doctor bag! how is that possible!? must be the colour i guess.. but they only have it in grey, black and cherry and the cherry is horrible (*puke*)
the search for a bag i that i can call THE BAG, is much like finding THE ONE (i'm talking abt a man.. not shoes..).. it can be fancied by many but what matters is whether it fits you and ur lifestyle.. for me, i want it not to sag when i put lotsa stuff in.. yet i want it not to be too hard.. i want it to be easy to maintain (no suede then..), not easily stained, easy to clean, big enuf for A4 but want it to be feminine.. i want it to be able to be carried on shoulders comfortably, hand held nicely and able to hang it at the insides of my elbow (is there a specific name for that body parT? yes right?! what is it called?).. am i demanding? i guess so.. but i demand as much out of my future husband too.. hence i think i will never get married haha!!!
