Life of a Foxy Siren

After a 2 months of No-Buys, I'm roaming free again! I couldn't wait any longer to locate my well hidden tea lights so I went ahead and bought a new pack. RM 9.99 for 50pcs.

I am really eager to use my new burners so I also got some fragrance oils from Daiso. Damask Rose and Ylang Ylang for now; also a pack of 20 cone incense. Asian Resort.. now let's see if I would feel like I'm on vacay!

Also I indulged in some craft magazines. Now who can teach me how to knit?  I'm an idiot when it comes to knitting and crocheting but I love these dolls?

June this year was very extreme. Both highs and lows at the same time..

I am grateful for:
- Haze was super bad and affecting many people. Mom fell sick quite bad. However I breezed through. Mom got well after a week. Popping vitamins must have helped.

- After a few depressing months at work, I finally got myself a break.  Time for some self pampering. The Premier Lounge at the airport was cool. Love the vibes at the airport.

- Checked into a 5/6 hotel and spend days just browsing the malls. Amazing! Food was delish.

- The Husband showered me with some designer handbags... yes, a few!!! In the same month.

- I really have the best in life. Yes work is crappy most days.. but heck I think most jobs are. But the food, clothes, shoes, bags and everything else is perfect.

Thank you life!

The retro / vintage design tin caught my eyes when I was browsing at Food Hall. So quaint.. I wanted to collect all the designs.

But I didn't know what tea is it so I picked only 1. Turned out it is my favourite jasmine tea! Now I really want all of them.

Priced at RP 46000 at Food Hall. Alun Alun sells at about RP53000. Now when is my next trip to Jakarta? ;)

- Weather was perfect for a morning brisk walk. Not too hot with shaded places all over.

- I managed to wake up early on a weekend so that I could have breakfast with mom. On workdays I am always rushing and the only time I get to eat with mom was dinner. Perfect.

- The Husband bought me a Braun  Buffel handbag. *swoon.. still swooning* GORGEOUS!!

- My laptop works fine. I left it on for some days and it didn't hang. Wow.. how rare is that?

- Toning my arms wasn't that bad. I didn't get muscle freeze lol. Good news!

Today I'm grateful for :
- Smooth to and fro journey for work

- A supportive colleague who cares about my welfare.

- Home cooked food for dinner. My favourite soy sauce minced meat.

- Coming home to see mom taking her walk. It means she is not sick.

- My husband for being with me while I cry my heart out. I'm unhappy for random reasons. I want to get away from it all..

Today I'm grateful for:
- A cup of hot drink from the boss. It kept my from going hungry post meeting.

- My husband diligently driving me everywhere. To work to lunch and back home safely.

- Coming home to a tasty home cooked food prepared by mom. Tom yum shrimp and san yao meatballs plus veggie soup tells me that I am loved.

- My dog being healthy and able to move around. I probably seems disconnected from him but I love him to bits.

- 5 min indulgence. The best feeling in the world is to eat chocolates in pajamas at home while having my feet massaged. Nothing ever beat this feeling.

I'm a little emotional now, I don't quite know why.

Or is it really?
I'm privileged to get a day off today, and I was really looking forward to a relaxing day.

Mom woke me up at 10am. I knew she wanted to let me sleep in (thankful for that). Showered and off we went first to get her herbs supplies.

Annoyance started when a message came in from the boss. I hate it when being asked about work at my personal time. Oh not just one, but plenty to last all day.

We had lunch at Winter Warmers. Blueberry Lover today with Tuna Waffle. It has been a long time since I had a long relaxing lunch. No rush for the next agenda. Just chat and eat and sip tea. And answered some bloody messages.

Daiso was next. Mom found her much sought after tool for her craft :) And I replaced my auto whisk yay! The rest were for mom.. hot bottle and cover.

Conveniently on our way we popped into Nichii. I fell in love with a grey peplum dress. Got a dress for mom too. Both costed RM200. Walked out happy and eyeing another one!

Crabtree and Evelyn was my main destination. Mom settled for Lily while I got my much loved Wisteria. Decided I shall just ignore the phone.

Mom scored another piece from Uniqlo. Beige legging jeans. I decided to be good and skipped.

We also walked out of Popular empty handed. Got some mints and some necessities and headed home.

While massaging mom's arms she mentioned that day like this feels faster. When I'm at work the hours are longer and slower :( I must spend more time with mom...

Husband got a sore throat today poor fella. He is snoring after rounds of chrysanthemum teas lol.

My annoyance is building up ad another message came in at 11pm. Just plain disrespectful. This month the emo stars are strongly  featured. So testing my patience..
