Ramadhan Fever

When it comes to breaking fast in Ramadhan, it's natural to see everyone eating like anything crazy. Eating like crazy, is no surprisingly also happening to Sharjeel. Interested in the Ramadhan Buffet offered by McDonald's, Sharjeel and I together with Tyaz headed to McDonald's today. And ooohh yeah, Sharjeel finished 3 burgers in nearly 10 minutes. My oh my, 3 burgers equals the size of triplets inside his tummy huehehhe...I enjoyed the foods there. It's like, McDonald's, and you can order anything... huwaaaa...yum...yummy yummy junk food huehehe...;p We ate a lot.

One of the challenges in being rather abundant of figure is finding clothes that aren't 1) made like junk, 2) poorly fitted/executed, 3) heading into Mrs. Roper territory, 4) priced to cost the kingdom. Like most women facing this particular vexation - and I know that every woman faces some kind of wardrobe limitation, be it size-related, access to clothing, financial or whatever - over time I have cobbled together a collection of what I suppose could be called "solutions" sourced from the late, great Mode magazine, Vogue's annual Size (or whatever it's called) Issue, a lifetime of way-too-intimate knowledge of the offerings of the various mall-based purveyors of the aforementioned junk and/or expensiveness.

As a result my wardrobe is serviceable if not as pleasurable as I might like. Jeans from KMart (no, seriously), plain tees from Old Navy, intimates from Lane Bryant, sweaters and skirts from Talbots or Jones New York, odds and ends from a TJ Maxxish kind of place and the very occasional marked-down specialty item from Nordstrom make the bulk of my clothes-shopping routine. I don't go in for patterns much (dangerous Mrs. Ropertude, which even Nordstrom alarmingly enables) and fearing the Mimi effect I also avoid what I think of as "art" (i.e., embellished) clothing. A perfect outfit as far as I'm concerned more or less begins and ends with Donna Karen circa 1985.

Lately I've felt a call to be a bit more proactive in my wardrobing efforts, relying more on conscious, ordered choices and less on clearance-rack mayhem. To that end I've ditched some ill-considered higher-end purchases via Craig's List, donated other stuff to Goodwill, cut up still others for the rag bin and, while I cannot claim the kind of streamlined closet of the kind that would please Andree Putman*, I'm working on it. I've also decided to expand my sewing from tutus, rod-pocket curtains and pillows into more interesting territory - that is, sewing for myself.

Close perusal of the complete works of those What Not to Wear girls and a lifetime of pondering why exactly it is that I always look rather disreputable have led me to understand that I need to obtain the following: better underwear, more wrap blouses, three-quarter length or longer sleeves, a total absence of turtlenecks, boot cut jeans, accenuation of the waist and perhaps more in the way of twinset-type things. Some of this I think I'd like to try making myself.

Good. I've got a plan. That's something at least, right?

* "I love America, and I love American women. But there is one thing that deeply shocks me - American closets. I cannot believe one can dress well when you have so much." So said the much-esteemed Ms. Putman.

A Warm Dinner

Last week, my friends and I went to KLCC for dinner...initially we were planning to eat at Chilli's...but since the waiting list was like 2 pages of unseated people, we then decided to move to California Pizza Kitchen...generally, the food we ordered was around pepperoni pizza, pennes and raviolis...and..WOW! The food was awesome!! The pizza was the best..thin, light and crispy..the best after Red Tomato..

Anyways, I was really happy to have dinner with friends I love the most here in Malaysia...Intan, Tina, Tyaz, Ari, and of course, the yucky Sharjeel..hmm.. such a nice feeling to be surrounded by those who you care and care about you...I am seriously gonna miss them a lot....love you guys....so much...:)

Color Me Nails

I've been spotting the nail polished trend from a long time ago, but never really had the thought of applying it to myself. Olsens, Hillary, and Lindsay are ones who I often see to be well nail polished in various striking colors..


Well...here I was in Watsons with Intan looking at cheap nail polishers..and I was like..."hmm...this pink one is cute..why don't I give it a try?" So I decided to buy one from Sally Hansen...results? The nail polisher was affordable, yet satisfying at quality. The rich texture of the polisher gives a thin yet solid coating..very good...:) I wanna wear nail polishers from now one..polished nails just gives an impression of how detail a person can be when it comes to appearance...yay! Thanks to Intan for inspiring me as well hehehhe....

I had a brainstorm this morning about how to deal with a piece of furniture recently acquired from a friend and I am now being driven to utter distraction with my inability to go get started right now. Donna, my friend, gave me her great-aunt's dining room set - neither her sister nor cousins wanted it and she, knowing that I prefer old furniture to new, offered me the table, chairs, two (!) sideboards and small china cabinet. That we don't have a strict need for all of these pieces deterred me not a bit in my (perhaps unseemly speedy) acceptance of her offer for the alternative to me taking them was that they'd be put out at her curb. No, not on my watch.

Such was the disconnect between Donna's feelings about the furniture and my own that at her recent graduation party (she's a lawyer now) I kept thanking her mother for the incredible gift of their family heirlooms and her mother kept thanking me for taking "all that junk" off their hands. Count this among my life's burdens, my tendency to fall in love with peoples' junk (someday I will tell you about the bag full of costume jewelry I grabhandedly selected from my friend Anna's mother's estate - that it was offered to me reduces my shame only slightly). Whatever. I now have six matching dining room chairs, only a teensy bit in need of recovering, a thrill for which I thank Donna's great-aunt from the bottom of my junk-loving heart.

The china cabinet we put into a back room, not sure how it might be used. Our long-range plans include the purchase of a mountain house for vacations and/or retirement, but it seems a shame to keep a lovely piece set aside for what is at the moment a rather vague notion. Then this morning it hit me while reading an account of a woman glazing unlovely laundry room fixtures - the perfect use for such a sweet little cabinet.

I think I'd like to paint it for use in the Girl's bedroom as a bookshelf. Last September we brought home my own "little girl" furniture - white with brass and china pulls - and I can totally see this piece painted glossy white and filled with the Little House, Illustrated Children's Classics, Nancy Drew and all the other books that currently fill a rather rickety and very unattractive IKEA workhorse (bought in 1993 for my first "my own" apartment and now quite worn) in what is otherwise a very nice bedroom. In exchange, the existing bookcase will go into the storage room to help organize empty canning jars and sundry gardening tools.

I am so excited about this plan and so frustrated by my inability to do anything about it for at least, let's see...seven days (birthday parties - for my own and others' kids, out-of-town company, scout meeting, a girls' gathering at a friend's house, family dinner with my newly engaged (!) grandmother, etc., etc., etc.) that I am going to have to force myself to stick to the knitting, as it were, until then. The not-so-small matter of convincing Braniac that this is a good idea (he being of the twin beliefs that furniture probably oughtn't be painted and that dining room furniture belongs in the dining room and living room furniture belongs in the...) makes nary a dent in what I am certain is an excellent plan.
