Louis Vuitton Bag from Sex and the City - Price Revealed!

August 20th, 2008 by icha-hall

Lvmotardfirebird1_1 As a big lover of Louis Vuitton bags, I am on the constant lookout for what’s new and what’s going to garner me the most attention (my LV speedy has done the trick so far). So when I spotted that in the blockbuster movie “Sex And The City,” (Sarah Jessica Parker gave it to Jennifer Hudson, who plays her assistant, as a holiday present…yeah, I know, if bosses were that generous, I’d be hauling my ass to New York right this minute!) I knew I had to know more about it!

To my utter dismay, this bag costs a (kah-ching!) staggering $5,400! I love Louis Vuitton but 5 grand? Puhlease! That bag must have cost $1,500 before the movie and as soon as they got it on the set, it suddenly became as expensive as a brick of gold! No, seriously, the price is ridiculous and it’s not even made of some rare lizard from the red book! In my opinion, it’s a cheap shot on Vuitton’s part! Price your goods well, you bastards!

Wedding bells for my baby sister

July 24th, 2008 by icha-hall

Tadi pagi pas buka Yahoo Messenger ternyata ada note dari adik gw… dia nyuruhin gw telp dia ASAP katanya urgent. Trus di note berikutnya dia bilang kalo dia nikahnya di percepat datenya ke tgl 8-8-08 (duh dah bneran kyk Beijing Olympic az).

Haaaaaaaaaah?? Asle gw kaget bngt, secara wedding plannya dia aja dah rushing banget yang untuk resepsinya yg di bulan Nov tgl 2. Buat tanggal segitu az gw dah gak bisa hadir, secara Duncan lom liburan sekolah dan gw dah booked tiket buat tanggal 17 Dec. Hiks-hiks… Gw sedih az gak bisa liat my mini me getting married. 

Akhirnya gw telpon si Mami langsung, nanyain kenapa rushing gitu kayak org lagi lomba adu balap karung… ternyata, katanya si Mami si Boting (calon adek ipar ..hihihii) dah gak sabar pengen kawinin si Gusdurella kyu cayang, jadi minta nikah dulu di tgl triple 8 itu, terus resepsinye (tetep) tgl 2 Nov… gw mpe maksa suruh undurin ke Dec pada kekeh gk bisa, alasannya gedungnya dah dibooking tgl segitu! Huuuuuuuuu!!!!

Tell the truth, saat ini gw feeling weird az adek gw bakalan merit.. trs nanti kalo gw pulang ke Jakarta dia dah jadi istri org, trus dia gak bisa ngintilin kakaknya kemana-mana lagi deh selama kakaknya mudik:( Gak bisa jadi banci kamera bareng, celeng2an bareng di tempat dugem, shopping2an ke setiap mall, nyatronin tempat makan yang sedap dan uenak bareng, nyupirin gw kalo gw lagi celeng (adek gw ini saingannya Moreno .. hihihi), kondangan bareng, etc, etc … hiks-hiks… Trus yang bikin gw bener2 merasa kehilangan mini me gw pas dia bilang: Nanti kak, pas kamu pulang ke Jakarta… kamu bisa nginep dirumah aq. Duuuuuuuh, berarti pas gw pulang ke Jakarta cuma bisa ketemuan ma dia pas weekend doank secara biasanya mpe tiap hari dari melek mata ampe molor lagi liat mukanya. Mana rumah baru mereka di tempat biang macetnya Jakarta lagi.. gak kuku deh gw. Palingan kalo mo ketemuan ma adek gw janjian di Chitos az kali yah? Secara Pejaten gak jauh dari Chitos pan.

Tadi dia juga emailin gw.. minta tolong belanjain baju2 dress buat antaran pas nikahannya. Katanya dah ke Sency gk ada yg bagus, jadi dia minta tolong ma gw tolong cariin dress2 yang bagus disini. Now I’m in mission to find beautiful dresses for her. Urghhh, I love this mission… hihihihi

My baby sista yang suka gw bully masih kecilnya, yang suka ngerahul dengan hayalan imajinasinya yang dahsyat itu sekarang mo jadi bininya Boting! Good God, I’m feeling so weird right now, it’s mixture of sadness and joy. I’m happy coz she will get what she is waiting for (getting hitched) and sad, coz she is going to be a somebody’s wife and she won’t be with me 24/7 while I’m @ home in Jakarta like we used to be:(

Anyway, these are wedding wishes for you …

My lil sis (Liza) and your hubby to be (Boting),

I know you guys will have a great life together. I wish for you sunny skies. Fair winds and lovely times.

May you have a long and happy life together. We really regret won’t be able to attend your wedding. It will be a very special day for both of you.

Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness for you two and look forward to seeing your wedding photos.

I really wish I would be able to go, but,

I still wish both of you a very happy wedding….

Love you guys!

XOXO

See you Mr and Mrs Boting in Dec =)

My 15 resolutions that I should keep!

December 29th, 2006 by icha-hall

                  *** My 15 resolutions that I should keep… ***

I know everybody normally has at least 1 or 2 (maybe 3) New Year’s resolution(s). But not in Icha’s diary ;)

Here are my 15 resolutions…

1. Enjoy being a mother and married girl:)

Starting off the new year as a mother and a wife. Just because I’m flying double doesn’t mean that I can not having fun like I used to when I was single tho’. I will see it as a chance to focus on doing things that make me and my family happy and enjoy the fact that I have found my happiness in my life with these 2 beautiful people that I can’t live without them. Well, who knows… 2007 might be the year for the baby number two? :P

I guess, flirting it is still okay as long as in small dose…kikikik!

2.Banish my bad habits !

Alrite! It was something to do with setting a bad example to Duncy and it preyed on my conscience. Be it smoking, drinking and taking ….., I know these habits aren’t doing my body any good and I am killing myself - so I will QUIT (again) ! If Mark can bin the ciggies, so can I. Go Icha!!!!

3.Get a check-up !

I know I’ve been really lazy to do any check-up and I know it is very important for my health. Now is the time to do it. I will have a regular check-ups that every women must to do! and YOU too !

4. Record my memories.

I reckon, digital cameras have been a godsend for the snap-happy. But what’s the point of taking photos if I can’t show them off? Well, I guess… it’s because I’ve got billions of photos as I am a photoholic? hehehe. This year, I will sort through the pictures that I’ve got stored on my memory card or comp. Gosh, it is going to be a hard work for me! Maybe I will have my favourites printed also …maybe.

5. Have more fun, hell yeah!

Well, instead of sitting @ home and staring @ my laptop for hours… I will get out and try new experiences. I will explore play grounds with Duncy, beaches, restaurants and pubs (this one if grandma can minding Duncy for a nite or two, lol) or browsing the malls in Sydney… yeah, why not? and I will accept invitations instead of finding reasons to stay @ home. Shhh! do not tell Jake… Anyway, the points are … I will do things that make me laugh and happy. Agree!

6. Be more patient…

I’m always rushing around and get frustated easily when things don’t happen when and how I want them to. My resolution is to kick back a bit and try to chill out more! Mmh… my hubby will thrill with this!

7. Give back to the community…

I will clean out my wardrobe and make a trip to Vinnies and make a donation to a charity. Well, if I’ve got some extra cash to spare I will sponsor a child… It doesn’t have to be Angelina Jolie to make a difference, does it? But I don’t mind to have a gorgeous face like her tho’ ;P

8. Reconnect with my friends !!!

OK, I’ve been a bit slack with my friendships. This is the the time for me to turn over a new leaf! Also, I will call my old friends that I haven’t spoken to in a while and catch up with them again… Urrgh! I’m dying to see and hang out with them like we used to! Sorry… no Javanese disease tho’!

9. Get dressed up more…. Halleluyah!

No doubt I’ll be spending the next few months in shorts/mini skirt and thongs. But then again, I am a girlie girl… or should I say woman? :) I will dress-up into something a little more classy in more occasions… no argue with this! I agreed and loves it! It’s an instant way to make myself feel sexy but nice. LOL.

I will put on heels ( It is a good excuse to Jake to buying me a new shoes! ) and a summer dress ( I love summer dresses… they are so pretty and soooo me :P ) and……….. strut my stuff through the city, a la Miss Carrie Bradshaw ;) You go girl!

10. Take more holidays!

I will also address this one to my hubby… so listen up Jake!

Dear my hubby darling, life’s too short to be all work and no play. So make more of an effort to take time off, can you babe? I know we don’t have Hollywood salaries, but why we never try to have a regular mini breaks to revive our body and mind? I know, exotic destinations are nice but  we can go relaxing interstate or take a road trip to the country perhaps? As long as we can enjoy time away from the daily grind and as a FAMILY. Well, it’s time for us to look up which destinations that we could explore soon. Ok baby?

11. Learn a new skill…

This year I’m determined to study a Business Management course! I MUST study hard for my own good, as I will need this in the future if I am going to have my own company.

12. Relax more (and more and more…hehehe)

Ferris Bueller had a good point when he said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

I have no objection… I agreed, coz we spend so much time at full pace that we often forget to slow down, take a deep breath and re-focus. I will take pleasure in the small things to fix this problem. More importantly, I will spend at least a few minutes each day clearing my mind!

13. Spread the love… not diseases ;P

First, I will regularly tell my family and my frenz how much they mean to me. I love you guys….

Second, try to resolve disagreement quickly … no more ‘ngambek!’

Third, I will learn the importance of saying "I’m sorry" if I’m in the wrong.

14. Get serious about my diet and exercise…

I know…… every year I always say I’m going to lose weight and every year I slip into old habits. Instead of making more excuses, I will start now and try to banning my junk food and limit my intake in 2007. I promise!

15. Go easy on my self.

I hope, I won’t get so lazy, frustated, angry and stress so easily in the future. I’d love to be a good wife, a loving mother, a succesful woman, and a nice person to everyone.

*** I used to not believe in New Year’s resolutions because every time I make ‘em I always end up lying to myself and I break them. Now, I owe it to my self and I WILL try to stick to this year. Wish me luck… ***

"HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN FRIENDSTER…"

I LOVE YOU ALL and wishing you all the best in the future!

Love,

Icha

Something about me…

June 23rd, 2006 by icha-hall

About me…

* My ideal Saturday night involves cooking dinner for friends, followed by DVD… or go partying with my cousins and friends.

* My personal style is "girl next door with a touch of glam" (for sure!)

* My exercise regimen consist of a very loDsc_4936repng walk…around the local shopping centre with a high heels…hehehe!

* My ideal partner would have to have a sweet and caring personality, ability to be as comfortable in a shopping centre as he is in the pub and……..got a whole lotta coin ;P

*my career goal is to make a gazillions of dollars (or euros;P ), have an equally successful career and home life, to be regarded as a credible career woman with a rockin’ circle of friends… Umm, and maybe have the world scream my name (that would be awesome! GO ICHA!)

What ype of hugger are you?

June 2nd, 2006 by icha-hall

Touching and hugging are vital emotional health.They make happier couples, mend marriages, tame tempers and short circuit stress. Not only that, but the feel good, lift loneliness, curb binge appetites and are entirely portable.

Each style of hug carries it’s own wordlesss message.

* BEAR HUG- this is the full frontal wrap around perfected by soccer players and used by parents on young kids.

*HURRY HUG- this is the hug of choice in busy kitchen or wishing someone goodluck.

*A-FRAME HUG- this is the heads only touch for formal occasions or with opposite sexes who intend staying opposite.

*GROUP HUG- this is the specialist of sporting teams, rugby scrums and photos.

*SANDWICH HUG- This is involves parents on the outside with some little toothless terror popping up in between.

*SIDETO SIDE HUG- this is the friendship hug, reserved for equals who like being together.

*HEART CENTRED HUG- this is where eyes say ‘it’s you’, bodie say ‘like’ and arms say ‘I’m wrapped’.

Body talk is funny business, arms and hands are public but beyond that it depends on who yu are and what you want.

Life is a touching business… so start touching! LOL
