We are victims to a theft



I'm telling you we don't believe our very own eyes. Eric had just lost his father's car nearby at a five star hotel (Four Point by Sheraton) in Kuching. The car was confirmed lost by us at 9.30 pm on 21 May 2009. Yes, that's right! We were so damn unlucky. It was a very unfortunate incident that the stupid thief decided to pick our car. Why not pick others? Bad karma.


It is our human nature to double confirm with our partner or the person who sits next to you in the car whether we have parked our car at the wrong side. Maybe we have forgotten about it. Or maybe we have not. Maybe we were having some illusion that the car is just parked right there. Sadly, that's not the case here.



Eric was pretty sure that he parked right there when he kept on pressing his car remote control I was pretty sure too. But I tried to ignore the fact that it was lost and tried to look for the car at every possible alley. Damn, I seriously could not believe that our car got stolen. Even if Eric forgot to lock his car which is an unlikely case here, there's still auto-lock! And how come the alarm doesn't go off?



It was not exactly a dark alley where we parked the car (seen as above). Both of us were just few footsteps away from the car. And do you know that the thief was so bloody brave to steal the car where there were few kitchen-staffs behind the kopitiam washing the plates? And right towards the end of this alley, it's "Siang Siang Corner" and it was crowded that night.

We believe that our case was a car theft syndicate and hopefully they will get busted as soon as possible. Coincidently, Eric's friends and acquaitances car also got stolen at the same place (so far as we have known - total four cars).

Kuching is not a safe town anymore. Just a friendly reminder: Do not simply park your car and left it unguarded. Best if just hang out at the place where you can catch a glimpse of your car.

Putrajaya

It took us about 45 mins to reach Putrajaya from Kuala Lumpur, using the new KL - Putrajaya Highway - Maju Expressway MEX . We were challenging ourselves to drive without a map and just by looking at the signboard. Very fun indeed.

Our former Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad had a vision of relocating the government offices to Putrajaya in order to gain relief from overcrowding and congestion of Kuala Lumpur. Was it effective? I'm not so sure about that. Kuala Lumpur is still hectic as ever. But it's congestion and overcrowding from Monday to Friday shows a good sign that in fact our economy is blooming compared to other countries, I believe. At least, we are still surviving in Malaysia.




The federal capital officially moved to Putrajaya in 1999 and it was claimed to be the new federal administrative capital of Malaysia. Putrajaya also known as a Federal Territory just like the city of Kuala Lumpur and Labuan. The above pictures show our Prime Minister's office, also known as Perdana Putra.

We are pointing at our Sarawak flag. Sarawakianssssss rocks! =D

Putrajaya literally means "Prince in success" as the word Putra - Prince and Jaya - Success. I wonder why they don't call it Bendahara Jaya? The word "Bendahara" is an adminstrative position within classical Malay Kingdoms before the intervention of European powers during the 19th century - which appointed by the Sultan to act as an advisor in national matters.




This is the only pink-coloured mosque you can find in Malaysia! Masjid Putra was named after our late and first Prime Minister of Malaysia i.e Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj. From this mosque, you can actually get a clear view of the astounding lake and the surrounding area. Doesn't it look like a floating mosque to you?

We were intrigued by the look of this mosque. That's why we took so many pictures of it!


That should be the Istana Darul Ehsan. One of the royal residences of the Sultan of Selangor - Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah (correct me If i'm wrong).

We were there from late afternoon till 9pm, just wandering around and taking a lot of photos. It's a waste if the Government does not come up with more new projects at Putrajaya. They should do more activities there to get more tourists. Putrajaya is simply a beautiful place.

Craze over heels




A pair of black stiletto heels. This is considered as "a girl must have" which is equivalent to your LBD i.e Little Black Dress.


My gold heels. I'm not a particular fan of gold. I prefer silver or white gold rather than gold. However, I bought this heel to match with my outfit for chinese new year. Wore it once only.






Ahh..my second best friend. Wore it to work, to party and even for shopping! Eric saw this at Nose in Kuching - actually thought of buying it for me. But at the end I bought it for myself at Nose, KLCC.



I would name this my "Cinderella's moment" heels. Although it's not made out of glass. But at least after I wear them, I feel like a princess. Haha love the silver and black bow to bits.



I saw this heels and I found it pretty unique. I love how the red cloth tied it at the side and the back just made me wanted to buy straight away. And I did.


Does this reminds you of "bohemian looks"? For me, it does. I found it very artsy and man I just adore the colour.


This is my one and only flats I have. Gosh, no wonder Eric always advised me not to buy anymore heels! I went to count how many heels I have and it turned out to be 9 of them. So I went to suggest to him that I want to buy more flats.

And his reply was:

Yayy... we are going shopping together for flats and jeans. Can't wait! ^.^
