I rarely bring a baby bag when I go out with my baby for a short trip to the mall or supermarket or the park or anywhere else. I love to keep it simple and minimal, so usually I'd stash my baby's stuff inside my handbag.


But the problem with stuffing everything inside your bag is that it would take ages to find them! And it's not very hygienic either to keep diapers together with the "trash" inside your bag, no? I need something that is smaller than a baby bag but big enough to hold my baby's necessities. So when Liz of SNUGGbaby.com contacted me and introduced me to her line of handmade baby products, I knew exactly what I wanted - her SNUGG Diaper Clutch!


SNUGG Diaper Clutch is a compact and portable diaper changing kit which rolls up as a clutch. It features a soft padding, a toy ring, a Velcro strap handle and two pockets to put diapers, baby wipes, nappy cream, etc. It's my savior!


There are lots of beautiful fabrics to choose from - and yours truly settled for this cute handbag-print fabric with hot pink rims.






You can hang the cutie (I don't mean your baby) on your stroller, clutch it in your hand or stuff it in your bag as it is compact enough to fit medium to large size bags. I like to hang it on my stroller and show it to the world. It's one of those baby accessories that is practical and stylishly cute!




The thing I love most about SNUGG Diaper Clutch is the ease of using it. It's single hand operable so you can carry your baby with one hand, and handle the diaper clutch with another. Just unstrap, unroll and change!




It's easier to handle your squirming baby too bcoz everything you need is in one place.





And when you're done changing, just roll and strap it back, and you're good to go.




SNUGG Diaper Clutch is available in lots of pretty fabrics at SNUGGbaby.com for RM50. If you don't have a baby but fancy the SNUGG Diaper Clutch, fret not ladies bcoz they come in wallet/clutch version as well to suit your needs!


SNUGGbaby also carries beautiful handmade babywearing gears - Mei Tais, pouch slings and ring slings. And yes, they can be custom made too.




I think I wanna give their ring sling a try one day. They look so snugg!

Bcoz people might think you're the boyfriend! I mean, just look at this.




I was browsing some sweaters at Gap.com and thought I've clicked on the Men's category when I saw that pic. But no, that's a woman wearing women's Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater.

My husband asked if I'd like to go on a double date with Incik Ijai and his girlfriend at Istana Budaya to see Cuci The Musical. I've seen the movie and it was not bad. Plus, I have never been to a theater show before so I thought why not!




We went to see the final show which was last Sunday. It was a last-minute thing so we only managed to get the cheapest tickets. Maka duduk lah kat atas sekali.




I wasn't really expecting it to be that good, but boy was I wrong! Cuci The Musical is a great show! Very entertaining. We laughed a lot and I can't remember watching something so funny. Paling tak tahan bila one of the actors (lupa siapa tah) cakap, "OH EM GEEEE". LOL





Anyway, we didn't wait for the autograph session bcoz the queue was so long. My baby was waiting for me at my PIL's, so we just snapped from afar and went back home. Banyak sangat paparazzi!






Vanida Imran is so pretty and she sings well too. This is the best picture of her that I managed to snap. But really, she's a lot prettier in person!




On a different note...

And she still refuse to wear a head-band! ;p




I know it sounds cliche but really, how time flies! She'll be turning 1 year old soon and we still haven't decided how and where to celebrate her 1st birthday. But one thing for sure, it'll be just a small one.

I have more than 10 items in my Victoria's Secret shopping bag. Of course I'm not gonna purchase all of 'em. That's normal when you shop online, no? You browse, found something you like, click on "add to bag" (or "Watch this item" if at eBay) and the cycle goes on until you've browsed every single thing on the website and ended up with way too many stuff. Sometimes you double browse everything just to make sure you didn't miss a thing.


And then the toughest part came - making up your mind of the ones you really want. Or need. Whatever. I'm at that stage now.


Some of the things in my shopping bag:






This is my first online purchase from VS website, so I'm gonna try with just one item first. Or maybe two.


Anyone bought anything from VS website before?

I am in my malas-tapi-nak-update-blog mood, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Went for our last-minute shopping. We only managed to shop at Marks & Spencer as we only had like an hour before the bus left!

I think I'll just skip the boring part of day 1 (naik bas, arriving in Singapore, bla bla) bcoz Day 1 was mainly about the Nuffnang Gala Dinner.


We stayed at Link Hotel that was sponsored by Nuffnang (thank you!). The interesting thing about this hotel is that they have four ethnic room themes to choose from - Malay, Chinese, Indian and modern. Guess which ethnic room did we get?





We were so famished as we haven't eaten anything from the night before so we went inside the mall, hoping to find some place to eat. But all of the shops were still closed as they are only open at 11am, so we just wandered aimlessly... and found these cute walls of art.






Then I saw a lady (the one behind Wani in the above pic), and I beamed excitedly bcoz she was holding a Starbucks take-away cup. At last, ada tempat makan yang dah buka! But there was no Starbucks to be seen, so I went to her and asked, "Where did you get your Starbucks?". I must sound so desperately hungry bcoz she gave a little laugh and told us she got hers at the building across the street. So off we went. The building across the street is Marina Square, which is a shopping mall.




After an Egg Mayo sandwich and a cup of Hazelnut Hot Chocolate, we went to Bugis Street to start our mission of the day: SHOPPING.



Bugis Street

Bugis Street is Singapore's largest street shopping location with hundreds of stall-like shops selling various clothes, accessories, bags, shoes, souvenirs and food...









Most of the shops sell pretty much the same things - tees, necklaces, fridge magnets and more tees. But there are some shops selling really awesome stuff, you just have to look very carefully as they're tucked away. We saw at least a few shops selling Topshop-like tops and jackets. We also found this one shop selling beautiful corsets at reasonable prices and my sister managed to hasut me into buying not one, but two corsets! One of them is an underbust corset, which is something like Victoria Beckam's. Can't wait to wear it.




I also bought a few belts but my favorite is this double studded belt which I got for only SGD$15! I like it a lot that I wore it right away.




Iluma

This is like the most beautiful shopping mall I've ever seen. The facade is like bling-ed with crystals and diamonds! Come night time, the lights will scatter across the building, making it look like a giant shiny jewelry. C'est magnifique!




The shops however, are not as grand as its look. I was expecting it to be a classy mall or something like that, but most of the shops are just so-so. Or maybe bcoz it's new?


But we found this amaaaazing vintage shop that sells amaaaazing vintage stuff: Dreams Vintage. The accessories are to-die-for! Some of their stuff are Chanel-inspired (without the logo of course) and they are OMG so fab! Especially the clothes. They are not that cheap tho - almost all of the clothes are over SGD$100. Tapi kalau dah berkenan tu, terpaksa beli. Both Wani and I got ourselves a jacket/cardigan and some brooches. They even have beautiful vintage dresses for babies, but too bad the smallest size is 12 months.








At around 11pm, we took a cab back to the hotel. God knows how extremely exhausted we were, but it was a grreat day - we shopped till we dropped and I haven't done that in ages! Wani has always been my favorite shopping buddy. I wish we had more time to go to Haji Lane, Arab Street and Chinatown though...


p/s: I have a few items from Singapore to be added at Shopper's Sanctuary soon!

I love dressing up my baby in cute and witty word graphic bodysuits. They're fun and cute and funny and never fail to bring a smile on my face.


A few weeks ago, I was hunting for a baby walker at Robinsons when I spotted babywear by Tiny Thots. I was attracted to the cute graphics and was even more hooked when I saw the witty wordings on them. Who can resist such cuties? There were bodysuits (RM36.90) and tees (RM34.90) for both boys and girls. I picked the cutest two bodysuits:


Now just for the sake of it...





p/s: That's the shoes I wore to the Nuffnang Blog Awards event the other day. My very first pink stilettos, believe it or not!

Labels: Sales and Shopping

I think it's not too much to say that the Nuffnang Blog Awards is like the Oscars for bloggers. It was glitzy and glamorous, with cameras flashing everywhere. Over 400 people walked the red carpet and everyone looked so beautiful in their fabulous dresses. It was so awesome of Nuffnang to organize an awesome event like this! It was definitely a night to remember, and I'm glad I was a part of it.


Ok, I know y'all just wanna see the pics so I'll shut up now.

I love peanut butter and jelly sandwich so when I came across this Thai Chicken Pizza recipe, I thought of giving it a try. The recipe says to use smooth peanut butter but I only have crunchy peanut butter in my kitchen. I also substituted rice vinegar with balsamic vinegar instead bcoz of the same reason. And I added shiitake mushrooms as you can see in the pic.


The taste? Well, it wasn't so bad if you eat it with chili sauce. But I have to admit, it didn't taste anything like pizza as it was pretty sweet and nutty. I guess next time I'll just stick to the traditional pizza sauce.
