Needs and Wants

Finally stepped into a mall today. To be more specific, it was One Utama (OU).
It felt like a completely foreign place to me. So many new shops, the layout has changed and many more.
I do go to OU but normally I park at a specific area and head to just that particular shop and am done.

Since, Aizat and I some spare time and he needs to get a few items.
We decided to walk about.

Passed by many of my favourite brands and they were all on sale. I know I need many new things or is it my personal want? Am getting a bit confuse here.
Walked in, touched the pretty clothes, flipped the price and place it to its original place and finally walk out empty handed.

I’ve been like this for a while now. Always thinking in my head “What if…”. Often worrying about sudden urgent needs.

Take for instant, there’s this bag from Rabeanco. Priced at RM1000+. A basic black bowling bag with some silver studs. Oh my love for studs. I really really wanted it. The leather is uber soft and I know it can last me a few years. Despite my existing Nine West being torn and all. I put it back on the shelf.

Few months later, at the Zara store which is on sale. I saw a similar bag with no studs, slightly smaller but genuine leather too. Priced at say 15% of the Rabeanco bag. Did I buy it? No.

There’s other things in life that is more important. Handbags, shoes, clothes can wait. I need to start saving. I want to travel and I want a certain dream to come true.

But maybe, I do deserve something good in my life once in a while? No?

Btw, how exactly do we differentiate needs and wants? It ain’t that easy I must say.

Cold Nights

It’s getting colder by the day in KL. Maybe this global warming is sort of screwing up our weather.
This kind of weather reminds me so much of Autumn/Winter in Brisbane.
It was cold and rainy. But my heart was always warm then.

Now life is one big challenge. How I sometimes wish am still a student. Where things might be slightly easier on me. But then again, my life has never really been that easy.

I’ve to work tomorrow, when so many people I know are on leave. I’ve many things to do. I wish I can slack but I can’t.

I wish I was rich. Have pretty little things in life. Have an amazingly meaningful relationship.

I wish I was on an island vacation right now. My legs are starting to look pale already.

 

A Hint of Ray

My second half of 2011 has been pretty shitty to be honest.

In all aspect. Family, finance, work, relationship, business and many more.

Been putting on a brave front simply to avoid people asking me about it. As much as my smile can lie, my weight was a give away. Damn!

Am very grateful for what I have so far but at times I wish God was much easier on me.

At the point of life where money is tight, there’s normally when you’d have to spend the most.

Last week for instance, I had a flat tire. A big ass tear in my front left wheel. What to do? Gotta change it. If that wasn’t enough, I had to do balancing, alignment and fix my chamber too. I could literally see dollar signs ($) floating above my head.

To add to it, my car decided to breakdown on me yesterday. Right after picking up a payment from the client’s. It died. Tried to switch it on but failed. Had to call a tow truck to get it to the mechanics. Sigh.

Finally and exciting new happened just about 11pm. An email from NYC.

jujuwiwitata’s will undergo a new project. Bringing in a certain brand from the States. We will be the stockiest in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

What’s the item? What’s the brand? Well all I can say is its a unisex product. I ain’t bias yo! Hehe.

Stay tuned for it. Wish me luck!

Oh yes, if you didn’t know. jujuwiwitata’s has gone through a minor revamp.

Hope you like the new logo. Do share on what you think of it. I love it as it’s typography. But do tell me what you think.

I Tremble

I trembled when I wanted to pay for my new toy. Been meaning to get myself a new toy for the longest time. The old one died on me early 2010.

Did an extensive research on all the models out there. Checking the prices. The different specs of it all. Asking my camera crazy cousins, friends and family. Read endless review. Compared the models.

Finally it was down to two. The older version and the newly released version. Still contemplating between the two. Price wise and all that jazz.

Fate brought me to OU yesterday. As I was going about the mall scouting for interesting outfits and all. We passed by this electrical shop. Automatically I went inside, saw the camera and asked. Such luck. They had a crazy deal for it. I was already so drawn to it, yet still contemplating. Left the store, surveyed other camera shops. Decided, won’t purchase it.

As we were walking about the mall, my younger brother read up about the camera. I texted my dad, asking him if this was the right move. Consulting my mum, Elya, Abang Waa and Faiz. Right before we left, we had to pass the shop yet again. Stopped and that was it. I knew the baby had to be mine.

I was literally trembling at the counter when I needed to pay. To part away from my hard earned money. I wasn’t too sure. I was somewhat hoping my card would decline. But it went through, so there people I got myself the old yet new Lumix GF1.

Going to make full use of this, exploring it starts from today! Behold for overloading images from now onwards, well that’s if I feel like it :p

Have an excellent weekend! Am off to play with this new baby.

If I Had My Very Own Kitchen


I love white kitchens. It gives the sense of cleaniness and simplicity.

I bet I’d be cooking more if I had my own personal place to cook up a storm without any distraction.

I Had A Dream

I woke up with a smile to a dream I couldn’t recall. Did I smile throughout the sleep? What was it about?

I really cannot recall. But it surely made me a happy camper.

Same dream tonight? Or a better one?

Perhaps it will come true. It’ll be like dejavu.

I Dream of Blue Water

Redang – August 2010

An island getaway soon would be perfect.

Shall we go on one girls?
