Cupcake Memories: Life in Sydney, Australia

When I say old, I mean a decade old *LOL* Anyway, I am so glad I decided to keep some of my decade old clothes. I took them out today and wow I had obviously forgotten how freaking thin I was! I was looking at my old short skirts I used to wear at the office and thought to myself, this is ridiculous, how did I fit? LOL Then I looked at my jeans hoping I could find a pair that I can fit right back in at this moment but no way, they are all size 27″, doh!

Unfortunately even if I could fit into my ridiculously slim fit short skirts, I won’t be wearing them anymore. Can’t exactly wear such short skirts at my age now. Yeah this Aunty once upon a time loved short skirts especially with slits. Who would’ve guessed when one looks at this dawdy old Aunty me now huh?

It is amazing to see so many online sellers marketing Korean, Japanese and China made cute clothings on Facebook, Friendsters, Blogspot and their own domains. However I have only come across these sellers based in Malaysia. Are there any in Australia who accepts Pre-Orders?

I know there are several sellers of such clothings who only sell ready stock (no pre order) which means their selection is few. I find the ones offered by Malaysian sellers are much cuter and of large variety and I think it is because they pre-order it, therefore able to offer the full range directly from the suppliers.

I will have to Google to see if there is any sellers here who takes pre-orders and have a large selection.

It has been years since I wore a watch. I have always enjoyed wearing watches of different make and designs in my 9-5 days. I also like my guy to wear a nice watch thus the first gift I bought my hubby was a kinetic watch. Unfortunately it stopped working five years later. He has since gotten so used to using his mobile phone to check the time that he no longer wish to wear a watch.

So there is no excuse for me to buy him another good watch. But if the opportunity ever arises, I would go for something with a blue tinge like in this photo, from a range of nice looking Nautica watches  that look professional yet sporty.

Life truly changes once you have a family. I find myself always checking out children’s clothes whenever I pass by kids clothing section be at the mall, online stores or browsing through brochures.

Children’s clothes are just so cute. If I could, I would buy them all the time not only for my girl but as gifts for other people too. The joy of giving is priceless but unfortunately we are not in the situation where we could afford to do that often.

I used to have a female colleague who would adorn herself with lots of jewelry everyday in the office, often wearing not one but two or more necklaces and bangles at any one time. I understand if they are religious jewelry but they are not. They were just real gold ones. I felt like asking why she wore so many because it didn’t look good but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings so I just kept quiet.

Sometimes wearing one too many pieces of jewelry can cloud the elegance. Keeping it simple and nice is good.

I spotted this cute knitted cream coloured cardigan (not sure what it’s actually called) with a removable fluffy collar at 50% off from SES. It was the only one left at that particular outlet that day. All my other knitwear are only waist length and I regretted buying them as I now realized that longer ones not only look nicer and a lot warmer; they do great in covering my huge bum!

I really love SES outlets. They are run by Koreans so I am guessing the stock could be from Korea? The style is nice, quality is good for the price and it’s so so so affordable! I paid AU$17.50 for this. 

This is a poor woman’s blog who is contented with non designer clothing and someone who is not ashamed of wearing cheap things as long as I feel good. But first, I need to lose weight so I could button up else I have to leave the buttons undone, poor me!
