Arrival of Mini Birdie Birkin

As promised.... hope this post will compensate for my "disappearance act" soon.....heehee...

As if the birthday celebration, surprises and prezzies were not enough, my days, months or even years were made even better by the fact that I received a call from my Hermes SA a week after my Birthday. It was about an arrival of an uber exquisite mini birdie birkin! Talking about icing on the Cake yah......

Initially, I was hesitating about the size of this Birkin. I was wondering whether will it be too "mini" for me since I always prefer Birkins in size 35cm. I will accept Birkins in size 30cm though. My SA also sent me pictures of this Birkin for my viewing and consideration. However, being my FIRST "Exotic Skin" Bag and that "Hefty Price"..... I did give it a thought for sometime...... (ok... not very long.... but it was at least 45 minutes) and after a quick consultation with Hubby, he said BUY IT... U SHOULD GET IT!!!! (Hooray!!!!! Yeepee!!!!!!!!!... ) Isn't he such a wonderful hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there..... this Birdie flew in with Fedex and arrived safely at my doorstep......

Wanna see my latest New Amazing Gordy Gordy Mini Birdie?????????

Well... if this sound interesting to you...... Please follow the instructions carefully.....

1) Get yourself relaxed and seated comfortably
2) Make yourself a cup of coffee/tea or your favourite drink

ARE U READY FOR IT?????????

Here we go...... slowly scroll down the side bar....

My First Hermes Ostrich Birkin

25cm Blue de Prusse Ostrich Birkin with Palladium Hardware!!!!!!!

It is such an elegant, versatile, adorable and surprisingly easy to carry baby. It is small and utterly feminine enough to be carried as a Dressy Bag for Cocktail/Formal Dinner Events and complement a Day Outing. I have already worn it with jeans for several occasions.... Now, waiting for someone (hinting... hinting... to Hubby....) to bring me out for Fancy Dining so that I can flaunt it with my nice dresses.....(Heehee)

I also find that the colour on the Ostrich Skin Leather seems to have a darker/deeper tone as compared to Regular Leather. I love how this New Shade of Blue Hue was brought out on this Ostrich Birkin. Just simply a DIVINE Combo!!!!

Before I end this post.... I wanna to give you guys some heads up.... I have ALREADY received my X'mas Prezzie!!!! It is "Something" that I claimed and honoured it to be my '08 X'mas Prezzie VOLUNTARILY ... (I am sooo considerate, right?.... Do not want Hubby to have heart attack after soooo many many shopping sprees.....Mwhahaha...)
So, you guys be patient okie.....Just check back for more Shopping Loots, X'mas Prezzie reveal, Travels updates.... and more.....

That's all for now.... Tata... and Take Care!!!

'08 B-Day Celebration for BunBun in Wonderland

Once again... I am soo late into my updatessssss....... I am truly super duper busy!!!!!!!! Busy with our new house and busy with upcoming travel planning..... (interstate and international). One of my good pals, Liling, is visiting me tomorrow. (Hooray!!!) I am sooooo excited!!!!! It's so nice to have friends/relatives coming over to visit and hang out. We will also be traveling interstate too... Need to show her around mah.... Right after her visit, hubby and I will be leaving for Shanghai (yup... again... heehee)... However we are including Beijing, Hangzhou and Suzhou in this trip too. Tons of planning to do!!!!! Hence, I will make a quick post on this one first.... while the rest, including the shoppingsss will be revealed in the other later posts yah.... I am also also trying to expedite another post regarding "something special" to tide you guys over my "disappearance period"...... Check back for more.....

Ok... Now lets rewind back to my B-Day celebration. Hubby had actually planned for a trip to Hawaii but... he got way too busy with his hectic work so we didn't managed to celebrate my birthday as planned.....

However, Hubby tried REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to compensate/make up for it. From Surprisess, Indulgent Prezziess to Fancy and Yummy Dinnerss. Needless to say, I am utterly touched by him. Beside all the planned surprise birthday prezziess, he also made an effort to call both my SA from Hermes and Chanel in hope to get me at least one of my Holy Grail Bags (Hermes Fuschia Ostrich Birkin or Chanel Black Reissue with Silver Hardware). Though he knew that the probability was low. Even my SAs were singing praises of him. I felt soooooo blessed. (Hubby.. Thanks for giving me such a fabulous B-Day Celebration!!!!!!!!!!!!)

One day before my birthday (we were flying to Vegas on the actual day), the First surprise came in. It was a 3-Dimensional Cake in a shape of a Hermes Fuschia Birkin!!!! Hubby had actually emailed the Bakery a picture of a Hermes Fuschia OSTRICH Birkin but they weren't able to bake the exact model...... We guess it was because Ostirch looks might not be as appealing on a Cake as compared to a Real Ostrich Birkin.... This cake was HUGE and HEAVY (6-7kg or so). Every part of the cake was edible except for the handles. Of course, after seeing the cake, we realised that we would not be able to finish the cake among the 2 of us. Hubby then called up some of our friends to help out!!!!! We received immense compliments on the cake. Some were mentioning that they only get to see this kinda cake on TV.... Hence they were sooo happy to see one in real life!! We received feedback that the cake was quite delicious only that the icing was too thick and sweet (probably due to the fact that it needs to hold its shape).
Anyhow, I really appreciate all the sweet gestures by my darling hubby!!!!!




Since this post is about my B-Day, I cannot post without my PREZZIES yah? By the way, these were all from my indulgent hubby......

Announcing my First '08 B-Day Prezzie........ Hermes Coat


Announcing my Second '08 B-Day Prezzie........Hermes Cardigan


Announcing my Third '08 B-Day Prezzie.......Limited Edition Eau Des Merveilles


Announcing my Fourth '08 B-Day Prezzie....... Chanel Pearl Necklace


Announcing my Last but not least '08 B-Day Prezzie.... Hermes "JYPSIERE" Messenger bag
This is a new buzz word in the current Purse/Bag Industry and is designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. A very "HOT" Casual Bag at Hermes that is almost always sold out. It has been featured in many magazines. My SA said that the boutique received a few of them and were immediately gone in half a day. My SA was on leave during the arrival... but she still managed to get me a Gold Jypsiere which I kindly passed on as I do not have a fancy on Gold Colour. Just when I thought I would have to wait for the next shipment, Miracle Happened!!!!! My SA managed to get ONE just before my Birthday... However, she called hubby instead of me. They planned it as a SURPRISE for me!!!!!!!!!

My lovable hubby had prior reservation made to L'Atelier de JoËl Robuchon on my Birthday...... but.... due to ME overlooking and spending tooo much time on shopping.... we had to change it to the following day. So for a birthday dinner, we ended up at Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant and Bar located in Bellagio Hotel which turned out to be a Gastronomic Dinner. They offer Fusion Japanese Cuisine (twist mixture of traditional and modern Japanese cuisine). Beside their heavenly delicious innovative dishes and extensive sake collection, one can have panoramic views of Bellagio's iconic fountain show and Las Vegas Strip. If we had not come in sort of at the last minute (ok.. it was all my fault...), we could have had a table near the window or on the patio enjoying the view too. We tried the Multi-Course Omakase Tasting Menu which is Award-winning chef Akira Back’s best creations of the day. I wasn't able to figure out the name of each dish but everything was incredibly yummilicious and scrumptious with impeccable service in a posh and elegant setting. I would rave on and on. Both hubby and I just went nutz over them!!!! - We need to return soon!!!!!!!!!

Hubby and Me at Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant and Bar for my B-day Dinner

On the 2nd night, clad in my Emilio Pucci Dress (which I received heaps of compliements from many onlookers.........blush blush lah....), we had dinner at L'Atelier de JoËl Robuchon - another coup for world-renowned French chef Joël Robuchon. There are 2 seatings arrangement in the restaurant - Bar Dining and Table Dining, the last of which is reserved for parties of 3 or more. But it seemed like the Bar Seating was more popular.... so Hubby and I were seated at the Bar counter, facing the open-concept kitchen, providing a perfect entertainment as the chefs were preparing the food. From a interior design perspective, the restaurant looks strikingly stylish, contemporary and elegant. Food wise, not only were the courses amazing and outstanding, the presentation was appealing as well. The Chef changes the menu frequently. Both of us got to try out their 3rd Anniversary Discovery 9-Course Tasting Menu and were pretty impressed. The Free-Range Quail Stuffed with Foie Gras and Served with Truffled-Mashed Potatoes was savory and sublime - just out of the world!!! Poached Baby Kussi Oysters with French "Echiré" Butter were fresh and tasty... (I even helped Hubby to finish his.... heehee) Hubby mentioned that his French-Style Hanger Steak with Fried Shallots was juicy, moist and literally melted in his mouth. Look thru' the slides for more mouth-watering foods.....

On our last night, we dined at Shanghai Lily where they offer Cantonese and Szechuan specialties tailored more for the Americans. Decor is impressive and in a fine dining atmosphere. Food on the other hand was just average. I was very disappointed with their Signature Dish - Peking Duck. The only highlights were their savory Spicy Clay Pot Braised Tofu with Eggplant and Almond Cookies. The Almond Cookies were actually their freebie desserts (limited to one per customer). We were told by the waitress that it cost USD2 per piece.
