So here it… after years of working for an organisation, i quit my job! So yes, am very happy and all that now that i did it… but now i’m thinking again… what should i do?
I resigned as i wanted to spend time with my baby girl and watch her grow… be there during milestone moments… to just be there. Furthermore, i wanted something that would be flexible as i’d never know when i’d need to drop everything and see to her needs. Strangely, my baby has become my world.
Sigh… am not sure if this is a good healthy thing.
Should i build my own business?
Should i continue in an agency?
Should i go work for another organisation?
I have no idea as of now… so i’m going with the flow and see how it pans out…
What would you do?

So Sofea, time has passed and you’ve passed the 3-month old age on April 18 … what has happened?
Well, you’re growing very fast… at our last visit to Dr Musa, you were already 5.4kg and 57 cm long… you didnt cry much when the doctor gave you your second booster jab cos mummy was there with you. You were so well behaved throughout the whole visit – i was very proud of you!
Did i tell you we dressed you in a very pretty red dress mummy bought for you from Batu Pahat? You looked absolutely “gorjes” in it!
Anyway, after the visit, you developed slight fever and the next day. So mummy cancelled her day out to melaka with Godma, Aunty Carmen and Aunty Mal. So they sent over loads of pictures to mummy to fill her in…
Mummy, Grannie and Aunty Eva took you out for your first social outing to KLCC… mummy bought you your first pair of beautiful white panties, then we had lunch to celebrate mummy’s birthday and new job. Yes, i’m leaving my current job so that i’ll have time to see you grow… i dont want to miss these precious moments.
You’ve grown up so much… even when Papa called the barber to come over and shave off all ur hair on April 12, you never cried. But yes, you were a little crabby after that! hahahahaha…
During ur baptism which was held on March 18, I’d forgotten to write a letter about what our hopes and dreams were for you… well… let me see…
When you were conceived, i prayed hard that by God’s grace, He will grant you the gift of wisdom, intelligence, humility, charitable, compassion, kindness, and all the graces of Jesus Christ. Hence, i wanted to call you Sofea which means “wisdom”. Your indian name means “beautiful”.
Now… as i see you grow each day, i’m beginnning to see that He has been kind to me and for that i’m thankful. You listen to Mummy and Papa and Grannie, and you do as we say. You’re adorable and really, a good baby.
What do i want you to be?
Just to be a good person.
Full of wisdom and knowledge. Intelligence.
Truthful. Honest.
Beautiful inside out. Humble. Kind. Full of compassion. Patient. Caring. Loving.
Everything that i had prayed (and still continue to pray) for.
To respect your elders.
To respect everyone for who they are, no matter what race, colour or beliefs.
To have an open mind. To be ready to try anything.
To be brave and confident.
Never to be afraid to stand for the truth (within boundaries la…).
To empathise with those around you.
To always listen to Mummy 
Seriously, i want you to excel in your studies and get a good job and a good future. Never forget your prayers no matter where you are, or how old you are.
Although jokingly i say that you should be a rockstar, i’m not joking when i see that you seem to have an affinity to music, even at this young age. Every morning, if i’m there, i put on nursery ryhmes or children hymns for you. And your current fav tv shows are Glee 3 and American Idol 11! Everytime you watch these shows where there’s always singing and dancing, you’re moving! Granny, mummy and Aunty Eva like to watch you groove to music… waving ur hands and legs and moving your little body – it’s incredible that you do this at 3 months!!!
We put a new wall sticker up in your room to get it more colourfull… and Granny and Aunty Eva have started with helping you turnover and stand on ur feet… slowly… you’re getting even more comfortable in your bouncer these days… sigh, yes you are growing!

Seriously, seriously, seriously… what is it about the Hermes bags that bagaholics like me, go gaga over them? The Kelly, the Birkin, the Herbag, the Vintage Crocodile bags, the Evelyne Crossbody bags etc…
And seriously, with the likes of the Kardashians shopping Hermes like it was going to the grocers in the next street, i’m beginning to wonder… why does everyone want a Hermes, a Birkin to be exact?!
I tried carrying the Hermes… ok, it is a fashion statement that says “I’ve arrived!”… and for those who like that particular type of bags, good on u!
So recently, i had a talk with another bagaholic and he was telling me that to get a brand new Hermes, it’s takes longer than the usual 6 months! And that there’s someone he knows who’s been looking for the 45cm birkin and has yet to get it due to the long waiting list, plus it is hard to find! Loads i know fly off to Europe to get it and more often than not, they end up not using it…
Seriously, to carry the bag effortlessly and with loads of style, does take some work. It’s the whole package! I dont see anyone with just a t-shirt and jeans and a pair of slippers and sunglasses will carry a Hermes! It’s got to have that Kim Kardashian/Victoria Beckham look that just does justice to anyone who carries the bag.
This view of mine was seconded by someone else who heard me talking about it. She had bought her Hermes three years ago and never got to using it.Why? “It’s just not right to carry a Hermes and wear casual and get onto a budget airline! We have to dress the part and look the part and play the part -effortlessly. So i just sold mine to a friend for XXXX not realising that it actually costs 15,000 more!
So that’s why when i came across the Evelyne crossbody and the Herbag, i thought, finally a Hermes that suits me!!! It’s light! And it’s simple, and just an elegant… aaah so nice! And it’s vintage… and i dont think it’s produced anymore. Sigh… and completely machine made… sigh sigh sigh…

Since i’m still on bag craze… was checking out the latest when i came across some interesting bags from miu miu…interesting cos i haven’t decided if i’m liking them or not… and they’re really not the designs i’ve associated with Miu Miu.
Here’s wat i found on Net-a-Porter…
Lizard-trimmed sequinned clutch
All are from Miu Miu’s SS12 collection…
Very different from her previous collections, this collection seems to be rather vibrant and colourful… reminds me a bit of Antik Batik though.
The more i look at them, the more i’m beginning to like them…
Hhhhhmmmm wonder what the others think…

Yes, bag craze started again… it’s been ages since i wrote about bags… and i’ve started again, also due to a friend of mine telling me not to stop!
So here i am, lusting over the Bottega Veneta Large Campana Ebano (Brown)… beautiful…
When i first tried it, it looked very big. So the boutique lady told me to put my stuff into the bag and see how it felt like. Geeeez it was just beautiful! i was totally floooooooored… now i understand people pay so much for this bag… it gives chic a whole new meaning… it’s soft, so stylish and in a colour that’s forever classic (read: it never goes on sale!!!)… sigh…
Oh well… bag frenzy is well on its way and i’m sticking to my one year one bag resolution… now to find the bag that fits the plan…
