Since I miss Shoesday last week, I better mentioned it first on today’s post
. This pair of stiletto heels are one of the first few pairs that I bought from Nine West a few years back and this pair is definitely one of my favourites
, especially when I bought it at a very good price too!! If I’m not mistaken, it was reduced to $49!!

Lately, I’ve been wearing lots of long sleeves t-shirt as the weather is getting colder but I didn’t really want to wear another layer of jacket or cardigan as that will be too warm. Also, I hardly wear shirts to work as I’m too lazy to iron them. Therefore, I’d often look for ways to make t-shirts dressier
and this is what I wore to work today. I took a few shots and Coco insisted on being in the picture so that’s where she’ll stay
.

Long sleeve t-shirt: Dotti
Vest: Bonsai Tunic – Handknitted by me
Pants: Tailor made in Malaysia
Heels: Nine West
Lastly, my sister has been staying with me since beginning of this year and it’s been a roller coaster ride ALL THE TIME. Bear in mind that I haven’t lived with her under the same roof for the past 7 years except for the occasional weeks when I went back to Malaysia to visit my family. Also, there is this big age gap between us as well which doesn’t really help at times, bearing in mind that she’s only doing her first year in university this year. Why am I bringing this up? Hmm, let me share with you one part of our conversation today:
Her: Jie (Big Sis in Cantonese), I’m so thirsty
Me: Go drink some water
Her: I left my water bottle in your car this morning
Me: How come you’re so forgetful? Why didn’t you buy a bottle of water while you’re in uni?
Her: I’m quite broke this month after buying all the ink catridges for the printer
Me: Don’t tell me you have not even drank a drop of water for the whole day????
Her: I drank a sip of water from my friend’s bottled water
Now, I had to quickly end that conversation with her before I stared screaming “HELLO??????” She left the house with me at 7 am and I picked her up from the train station at around 5 pm. That’s like about 10 hours and she only drank one sip of water because she’s too broke to buy a bottle of water??? What kind of excuse is that?? A bottled water only cost like $2 to $3 max and surely she can afford to buy a bottle?? If not, I’m sure her “friend” would be able to spare her a few gold coins?? I myself drink like 2 to 3 bottles of water while at work easily and I can’t believe that she only managed on just one sip. Sometimes I wonder if her brain is fully developed?
Don’t get me wrong. We do have our good times too and there are times when I do enjoy her company
.
PS: I bet she’ll be fuming when she read my post

Hahaha! There were days when I used to go waterless too. For no lack of money even. Just simply never got around to it in uni, there are just too many things to do!

Your Bonsai lifts your outfit from casual to very cool. It looks pretty fabulous with the red and white and the lovely Coco!!!

I so get you about the sister thing! Before we bought our house mid last year, I’ve also not lived with my mui since I left home for uni – about 8 years. The fireworks that go on around here- lets just say even my hb stays out of the way!!!
