I’m supposed to be back at work but I’m still lazing away. Jingle bells are still in the air and I’m ambitiously cooking a slap up post-Christmas meal this weekend when my family visits! Fun? Definitely! 😛 So, lots of planning and grocery shopping to be done.
So, what did you get for Christmas? I got a whole bunch of useful things from various friends. I had great fun opening up presents which I’d never expected to get and thinking “Aww… its so cute!” and “Oh, its so me!” at every gift I unwrapped. 😀
I didn’t quite plan on a big purchase, but I did get myself something for Christmas as a personal reward – A Celine Boogie bag! Woohoo! 😀
The design is from 2007and I got it for a very good price at a recent sale. I’ve always lusted after the Celine Boogie bag but the leather versions are about RM5xxx and up and at that sort of prices, I’d be gunning for a Chanel 2.55. So, denim it had to be. I’m still in the honeymoon phase, where everything’s rosy and perfect but I’m sure I’ll have my grouses soon enough – the main one being how vulnerable it must be toting around a bag that is open to prying hands. Still, its looking good for now. 🙂
Hope you had a good Christmas and a good holiday break!

December 27, 2008 at 5:30 amHa, here in the US we don’t really have a boxing day — dec 26th is for after-xmas sales. Although due to our recent economic crisis I don’t know how much cheaper stuff can get. Supposedly a lot of businesses didn’t make it out of the red this year. Still, I do wish I could re-gift some of the pajamas my husband got me :p
Why is it that the best gifts we always give ourselves? This year I treated myself to a “Best of Perricone MD” kit, with all the various super-powered creams and natural chemicals I need to make my face forget that it’s been worn down by two children. Didn’t buy it until today, though, since everything at the perriconemd .com website is now 25% off. The Boogie bag is an excellent buy, as well.
Thanks for your tips and reviews…it’s nice to know that someone halfway around the world has similar tastes. 🙂 Happy Holidays.

December 27, 2008 at 11:02 am@Kelly : Thanks for visiting and yes I must agree that we give ourselves the best treats. Perhaps its because we know ourselves best! Happy holidays and thank you for reading 🙂

December 27, 2008 at 1:34 pmYep, I did the same thing too… gifted myself a new 2.5in portable hard disc drive with 320GB of space. Hehehe.
Do we get to see the end result of your weekend cooking later?

My christmas gift for myself:
