Ruby by Enchanted Doll - a ball jointed, porcelain doll. She is 100% handmade. This doll was on eBay earlier, and the winning bid is US $13,500.00! Just imagine!

Look at these miniature shoes! Two styles: Hopscotch and Marie-Antoinettes, both 24k gold-plated and enameled.

This one looks gorgeous, in a melancholic way.


Tins are available at $49 CAD. They are currently 20% off and on sale for $39.00.

It's Raining, It's Raining...

Thursday, 16 December 2010. A Day of Endless Rain.


It's raining cats and dogs.

The air is really fresh, and the weather is very cool, like someone just turned the air-conditioning system on, but still it sucks for not being able to see the sun. Oh, how ironic of me to say that when all I do is read YA novels and sit in front of my laptop the whole day, furiously typing away at the keyboard.

Have you ever played in the rain?


I know I've done this before. Jumping in puddles! Totally rocks!


I've also done this before, but not wearing bikinis.


He's absolutely cute, but I'm NOT trying this.


"Hey! Don't you dare kick my butt!"


When the rain stops, the sun will continue to shine!

I think the guy wearing green shirt looks sissy! (lol) Take a look at his un-sissy pictures below:

His face bears some resemblances to Jo In Sung:

Don't they look like brothers?!

Trip To Ipoh

Yesterday, I went to Ipoh with my family. The first place we visited was Parkson shopping complex, because I love to make my purchases from a particular second-hand bookstore there, which is commonly known as Novelhut. But before that, we found a Thai corner in Parkson (!!!) which is so awesome! Have I ever mentioned how much I love Thailand?

My sister ordered this:

Thai sweet coconut sticky rice with mango. (Thai: ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) khao niao mamuang

She really loves to eat this. This serving is made from a few slices of mango and sticky rice (糯米). It's sweet AND sticky!

Thai clothes and ladies shoes are available for a cheap price. And the salesperson speaks Thai! I think they are all from Thailand. I found some cotton T-shirts for women, all sold at RM 10! But I didn't buy any, cos my mom is going to Thailand for 3 days 2 nights starting from Dec 10. She'll get some better bargains there.

On to Novelhut:

See what I got:

Very old but in good condition - The Blair Witch Files: The Witch's Daughter - RM 3 (Great buy!) I finished this book last night! It was so scary and creepy!


Very old! - Beastly by Alex Flinn - RM 20 (So expensive!!!)


Mint condition - Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (Book One) - RM 21 (Good price). Actually I found book 2, 3 and 5 too, but I decided to buy the first one and see if I like it before purchasing the rest.

That's all! Thanks for reading! :)
