Teddy & Floral Ornament

Recently the sister said she wanted a jewelry box for her birthday present from me. I agreed. Then, she started searching all over the internet for her perfect and convenient jewelry box. She came across Taobao and show me a picture an earring stand she wanted with the labelled "It is super cheap". Yes, it is. Then, I blow her off by saying it was hard to ship Taobao things to Malaysia since it is for China ppl. It was long ago I found Taobao and so in love with their super cheap dress but have no idea how to ship in Malaysia. So, here come the hero boyfriend who said his sister actually can help with the shipping.

Which makes me go all crazy searching for. . . .

♥ ORNAMENT ♥

Out of my own expectation as well that I am finally no longer fond on hunting unique dress/shirt/skirt but ornament for my room. Hehe. Well, this is some sort of my plan. Considering I'm going back to stay for a long long time in my hometown room, the room sweet room, after my graduation. So, I have plan to repaint the room and bring in some new decorations.

And here are all the love I found in Taobao!

#1 Wedding Teddy Couple 



Nope, I'm not getting married. But this is catches my heart. I didn't even know why. I never love teddy things but this teddy ornament is just too adorable. I was like browsing and this catches my eyes and I just can't help but looking at it :) That little teddy girl just look so cute with her butt slightly tilted and that little crown on her. Love! ♥  Plus, both the girl and boy look so innocent!


One closer look! Cuteeeeeeee! It's written that it is a fridge magnet but it looks pretty three dimensional to me. And it seems like they can stand well to be an ornament on self.

Then, I saw the back.


Nvm still, I can put it somewhere in my room like this.

Maybe at my room door?


#2 Garden Princess Jewelry Box




Princess feel delivered! It would be such a princess-to-be to have this piece on my dressing table. I always adore those ornament in white with gold carving details. Add some floral design. Looks simply sweet. Reminds me much of fairy tales. Someday my prince will come~~~


#3 Heart shaped jewelry box


Need not to say much. This is simply classic. Perfect for me to put my rings.

#4 Floral photo frame


My room much more enhanced with classic European vintage atmosphere with this.

Now that I rmber, I didn't have a photo frame at my room. And I came to realize that photo frame is actually very important! Not just an empty frame but the main point is you must put your picture in it. Though you can see yourselves everyday in the mirror but it's always different when you look if from the picture. It seems like you are seeing yourselves growing. Well, that is what I felt when I saw my younger sis pic in her room. It makes me think that "ohhh, once upon a time, she look like that. Now, she has grown up." And most importantly, putting a photo frame with your picture in it declare that "THIS IS MY ROOM". It speaks all. I would love to have this in my room! :) Very matchy with #1 #2 and #3

I'm actually thinking wanting #4 or #5


#5 Diamond white photo frame


This is much more simple but i love the detailing.

And what I'm amaze the most in all Taobao items is this!

#6 Retro pastoral switch set


Even for switch, they make it so pretty! To be honest, this seems to be even more prettier than the photo frame. I thought I'm the only who though switch needed to be decorated so I used to stick some cute sticker at the switch. But what I didn't know is that this actually exist. And all the designs are very pretty





Basically, just need to stick this on the wall.


But sad to realize, I can't have this! :'( Because I suddenly rmber that my dad install the switch pretty close to the door so it wont have so much space for this :( For other switches, it is either a whole row of 5 switch box together (this obviously for only two switch box) or it's hidden. I don't need decorate something behind my bed don't I? So, bye bye cute stuff.

Lastly,
#7 Rose Jewelry Box

One of my most love item.


I love floral cup for high tea but this is definitely not for that purpose. Compare to the heart shape jewelry box, this is a more creative creation which makes me love this more than #3. Imagine this cute cup in your room? Awwwwww, loveeeeee ♥




What's even cute is that inside the cup, ta-daaaaa!, one cute rose blossom inside. Something more than just plain white.

It actually proposed in the website that this was for proposal purpose. They suggested that the guy should hold this cup like a flower. Then, open to it is a diamond ring. Hahahhahaha. I can guess the seller is a girl!

Little reason to smile #10: Pretty floral ornament in white.

His birthday @ Little Italy

It's 1.43am. I had tea which explain why I am still awake. Though usually I'm still awake at this time but the eyes doesnt seems to shut even if I off the lights. So, allow me to blog. Oh, not forgetting I'm out of life in Candy Crush, so the only things I could thought of in this hour is my blog.

It's been reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally long since I talk about the daily routine or the recent happening. My blogs are filled with personal thought, words and no picture which makes my blog looks.... dull. Yes, dull.

Now, the recent happening is the monthniversaries (okay, this word doesn't exist). Do they have a term for monthly celebration? I don't know.

So, this is what I did for him. A little thought of mine but took alot of effort. I would say ALOT of effort and I would say determination too.

A simple brekkie ♥

For someone who don't cook like me, effort is definitely there. Well, though I didn't heat the baked beans cause I thought he will be waking up late, maybe 30minutes after I'm done cooking so the baked beans would definitely cool off. So, I skipped that. I also thought of it would be very unhealthy to use oil "just to reheat COOKED baked beans".And well, okay, partly was also because I was lazy to wash the pan twice to reheat the baked bean.

Determination was because I woke up at 8.30am to cook this! I'm proud of myself! For this, I would consider myself a good girlfriend :) I usually woke up at like 12pm? The truth is 1pm. I only wake up at 12pm because he wakes me up. He is a morning person so he will wake up at 9 or 10am. So, in order to have a little surprise for him, I need to wake up earlier than him and cook this and serve this before his eyes are open. 

Turn out, surprise succeeded and he is happy. Good job, yap pui foong :)

You could tell I'm sleepy that I don't even bother changing the illogical "3 months anniversaries" words.

Follow up by the monthniversaries, his birthday! His first birthday celebration with me as a couple. For the actual day of his birthday, we actually celebrated with our coursemates which is also our housemates.It is our final year in KK so I thought it would be better if his birthday could be celebrate with the coursemates since this might be his last celebration with them. Ohh, I sound very understanding. But no, I'm still the demanding girlfriend who wants first priority in boyfriend's heart and mind.  I'm perfectly fine in this case as his coursemates or closest friends in KK are also my coursemates and closest friends in KK. This is the benefits of mutual friends.Not to mention coursemates/closest friends in KK are all our housemates.

For his first birthday, not much of surprise for him :( I have a very solid reason for this. It's really hard to plan a surprise when your boyfriend is your coursemate, housemate and also room mate -________- Tell me how to escape from his sight. And all the people we ever know or close to in KK are all my hsemates. I can't even make any reason like "ohhh, I'm meeting this friend of mine because ...." Not applicable.

The best I could do is bought a present for him from hometown. I bought his birthday present a month earlier when I was still in my hometown, on semester break. Dragged my little sister along to Midvalley by TRAIN, all for his present. I forbidden him to go by saying little sis would feel so awkward. I was almost caught! Because he secretly went to Midvalley with the thought of accompanying me back to Sban. Luckily, luckily, he was late by few minutes and I was in the train by the time he reached. Or else I would be caught holding shopping bag of his present.

On that day itself, another brekkie for birthday boy!

 

Pork bacon with sunny side up eggs sandwiches.

This definitely taste MUCH MORE nicer that it looks! Pork bacon in it ♥ It truly makes wonder :)

(Hotdogs were supposed to looks like Japanese bento octopus look alike hotdog but failed. I guessed I must use cocktails next time or I should cut it slightly more. I, have no talent in cooking hmphhh)

This time, surprise failed. He noticed I'm missing in the bed. So, he came before I was even able to put this in form of sandwiches. All cooking were done. It was just me, taking my own sweet time to wash the dishes. And he just stood beside me saying, "what are you doing?". In my always-calm-expression, I answered "breakfast." In my mind, I was like "why do you wake up so early?!?!!! I woke up at 8.30am and you are waking up at 9am now :("

We have our celebration the next day of his birthday at Little Italy.

Little Italy, famous Italian restaurant in Kota Kinabalu. Of course, when it comes to Italian food, it's all about pizza and pasta! They did renovation but it still looks the same to me. Little Italy always portraits to be very pricey restaurant but it isn't. Pizza price ranges from RM20 to RM30 for small pizzas (9 inches if I'm not mistaken). The pasta cost about RM20 ++ with a wide variety of sauces.

Here's the birthday boy!

The one who feel awkward in front of camera. 

I'm training him to be a good photographer so that he could take good picture of me! I'm growing old and gaining weight so I definitely need some good angle to hide my fat.

This was his best shot on me :) 

Satisfied! ♥

Our starter. A smiley bread (RM8 +-). It's name is complicated. I can't remember and I didn't really know how to pronounced. 

Pizza in small. It's Little Italy (RM20 +-). And, it's super salty -___-

The waiter serve this and said, "This is very salty". It left me wondering if they know that this is very salty, why do they even still serve this? Why don't they decrease the level of saltiness? Or even the slightest, inform me that it's salty when I was ordering. This was really salty. Basically, I took out all the toppings and just ate the base. The base taste perfectly fine :) Then, I came to realize that actually there are people who prefer salty. So, maybe Italian love salty?

 The chicken set. RM35 +-

 Didn't know this was such a big portion. They do gave alot of chicken cutlets. Finishing this was basically almost filled our stomach. 

Dessert dessert ♥ Tiramisu (RM10+-)

I think I'm falling in love with Tiramisu. Whenever, I saw Tiramisu in the dessert list, my eyes goes all blink. It beats all the choco mud cake or ice-cream crepe or caramel something. My eyes just go for Tiramisu. And, Tiramisu sounds pretty. I don't know why it just sounds pretty.

The perfect look for dinner. RM109 in total. 

I know it would be slight helpful to include the price because when I do blog survey on food, I hate that when I have no idea about the price. 

He was overwhelmed with the food?
