Pro Eyes Studio Subang Parade

It was not a planned purchase, more of an impulse buy. Nonetheless, he needed a pair of shades so I guess it's okay to get him one since he needs it for driving especially when the sun is out doing its work :).

It's a first time for us, buying from Pro Eyes Studio.  The lady/sales person here was nice to us, quite friendly. That's a plus point :) Most of the optical shops here, they offer more or less the same discount percentages. And most of them carry the same brands.  We did not browse around at other optical shops to compare prices.  I guess 50% discount is still good.

The first one, is a Prada. Hmm..it looked nice on him but I didn't like the white rim (don't know what those things are called) and at the same time it's a tiny bit expensive. About RM1400 before discount...for me, sunnies don't need to be expensive, as long as it looks good on the person :) Well, okay, maybe for ladies tu mahal sikit takpe kot kalau cantik. For men, straightforward je, kalau ok, price ok - beli.

In the end, bought him a pair of from Ray Ban. Cheaper than Prada... Hehehe.. He's happy, my purse? Not so :p

Prada...err, maybe not!

This? Okay. Posing lebih pulak ni... Lol :)

Eid Mubarak, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitiri!

It's already the 5th day of Raya, but it's still not too late to wish Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin!

Dad in Law and Samsung Ace PLUS

It's kind of cute when FIL commented that he too wanted to change his phone. No more the old school phone a la Nokia. It's time for a smartphone now. 

On the 4th day of Raya, we went to Setia City Mall (as usual, this is our favourite haunt now) and went into DiGi, Maxis and Samsung to compare packages and prices. In the end, we bought the phone at Samsung and change from hotlink prepaid to maxis postpaid - package for RM48 for 200 mins of calls (if I'm not mistaken) and RM28 for 200MB of internet usage.

Now hubs needs to teach him how to use the phone..only managed to teach him like quarter of the way. Still some more techy stuff to share with him.  Oh by the by, FIL bought Samsung Ace PLUS, which is still new in the market that they have not created a cover yet for the phone. hehe..

So now Ayah, marilah berwhatsapp ok! :) 

Nice eh? we made him choose the white one because it looks sexier :)

Lights...Camera...Action!!!

This year our raya preparation is..hmm..mediocre. Not to complain or anything it's just that perhaps because so many things has happened to the people in our family this recent months, tak feel nak beriye-iye.

My grandma passed away, eventhough we were not that close but still...
Hubs was hospitalised and had a surgery to remove something...
Sis was hospitalised...
and just recently, my lovable mak long passed on.  I love my mak long because she was so sweet eventhough she can be fierce at times..but still, she loved us all and thought of us as her own children.  She even manjakan hubs ( yeah, menantu also she manjakan..tsk tsk..). But that is why we love her.  She was a very loving person. 

Anyhow..ok I don't know how this entry is even linked to my title..I'm digressing, forgive moi! hehe..
I actually wanted to post a few pics of hubs accompanying me to do some shopping a few weeks back.  He is truly a good shopping partner in addition to my kakak... memang can kaw tim with him.  But I think I'm not that good of a shopping partner for him because he likes to go into all those gadgety stores and I don't (because I think they are bo-ring!)... when this happens we would normally split ways and meet up again.

Hmm..wonder if this woman has finished her weekly obligation at the mall today? Lepas raya ni kena ajak dia buat activity lain..panjat bukit ke, running ke, gardening ke.. 



What's with this paparazzi mode? Penat jalan ni ok..dahla puasa :p

Oh, ok, ok.. one for the camera then :)

Till then, toodles!

My Hari Raya budget...

Okay, I have to admit ( no matter how much I hate to) that I may have burst or go beyond my budget in preparation for the Raya celebrations.  You see, I have it all nicely done up. Should not be a cent more. But alas, the lust (amboi lust!) of buying stuff got the best of me.

So here is how I did my budget.  This is not inclusive of my monthly expenses to go to work and whatnot.

Baju raya (2 pairs) – RM350. 1 pair for RM100 while the other, I got it at RM250

Kuih raya – RM120

Kasut raya – none this year. Just wear whatever new shoes that I’ve bought for work

Duit raya for mum & aunties – RM360

Duit raya for nieces & nephews – RM120. I don’t have to budget that much for this year since I still have a lot of balance from last year :)

Duit raya for kids (other not so close relatives) – RM100

Duit balik kampong  – RM200. I always make sure I have some money when balik kampong, you never know when you might need it..you know, for a roti canai or two J

Duit minyak – RM100

Duit toll – RM30

Unexpected expenses:

Sunnies/shades for hubs – RM410.  This is after 50% discount at an outlet in Subang Parade. I call it unexpected because I didn’t  budget for it. It’s okay, I shall consider this as his future birthday present. Bile time I offer nak belikan, tak nak.  :p                Grrrr!

So in total my raya budget is ……RM1380 + RM410 = RM1790.

When you don’t list it down, you will not realize how much you have or will spend for Raya. So it’s good to do this..at least I know where I am at and whether or not I should be spending any more than what I have (or have not..sebab terbabas jugak ni) budgeted for this year. Moderation is best.

Till then, toodles. Happy budgeting everyone!
