(pre) journey to the east

i've always wanted to go to sarawak. i think it's a fascinating place :) back in college years, i had some close frens fr sarawak but funds were always too limited to permit me 'naik belon' to visit the place.

but now wit 'everyone can fly' motto, i've become very accustomed to checking AA website every other day. & finally! i got a deal i just couldnt resist. return tixs to kuching for 200/pax. i'd be dumb if i let it slip so i just clicked & clicked & clicked & done ;)

must bring gadgets - camera, psp

personal paraphernalia - skin care, hair brush, make up brushes, loose powder, panty liners, kool fever patch,  breathe right, habatussawda ointment

favourite accessories - tudung clips (hair clips actually), bangles, necklaces, chunky rings, dangling brooches, pins for tudung

make ups - facial sunblock (white d-tox, biotherm), foundation (select cover-up, mac), fav lipsticks (579 musthave, dior addict lipstick & 682 rse mirage, dior addict high color), lip liner (06 apple cordial, estee lauder), lip gloss + roll-on perfume (very pretty, michael kors), shea lip butter (the body shop), cream colour base (kool frost, mac), quad-eye colour (majolica majorca), eyebrow definer (02 brown, the body shop), eye definer (carbon black, the body shop), mascara (090 diorshow extase, dior & false lash effect fusion, max factor), eyeliner (black, al sultanah fr madinah & liquid eyeliner 01, the body shop)

trying to fit both mine & dhani's outfits into 1 cabin bag. i packed for dhani 3 pair o jeans, 3 long sleeves tshirt, 5 tshirts, 3 pairs o pajamas, 4 pair o socks. i packed me 4 tops, 1 cardigan, 1 jeans, 2 pants, 3 nite tshirts, 2 nite leggings, 2 fancy belts (that i didnt even wear :p), i pair o nite socks

& i succeeded ;)

but o course these had to be put elsewhere (i seldom bring dhani's shoes coz more often than not, they wud end up being unworn. but i'm glad i brought them tis time coz kuching was rainy most o the time we were there. & dhani was safe. but i wasnt so lucky. as u could see, i brought peep-toe flats & a pair o sandals. wanted to be comfortable. yes, they were all comfy but my feet were wet & dirty. uhuhu)

these were in my sling bag - wet tissue, dry tissue, hand lotion, hair wax (dhani's), our shades, printed boarding passes, camera, psp, wristlet (had to wear wristlet instead o purse to be space savvy), & catherine lim's following the wrong god home (that remained unopened the whole hday thru. we slept in the flight like nobody's business since ours were early morning flight to & fro)

look at how puffy my cross body had become! :p

taraaa... we didnt had any cargo luggage. both were put in the cabin (yes, i'm such a cheapskate! wud try hard to travel light as i dont wanna pay for cargo luggage. haha)

owh. i schemed thru tis some nites prior to the trip. quite helpful. got it for RM12 @ BBW sale. 

the packing was completed the nite before our trip. & i couldnt sleep coz i was anxious. our flight was at 8am so we had to leave at 6am. i had to make sure all house chores were completed to avoid unnecessary stress post holiday. haha. i think i'm becoming a neat freak - doing laundry, dusting off furniture, cleaning the fridge etc etc etc. 

& just a couple o minutes before our ride arrived, i noticed that there was no tudung in our bag. not even one! phewww... lucky i did a final check. or else i wud have to spend on tudungs... or worse, being a cheapskate as i am, i'd be wearing only 1 tudung thruout the whole trip. hehehe.
