Boxing Day 2011

Venue: Cheshire Oak Outlets

Date: 26th December 2011

We had overnight at travelodge nearby at East Wirral. The distance between the travelodge and the outlets are only 4miles. That morning the traffic was clear so we only took less than 10minutes to arrive. Sampai2 pukul 9.50a.m. Most boutiques pon tak bukak lg. Parking pon masih banyak so hubby terus parkimg depan Clarks. Sebelah Clarks, Karen Millen. ;)

We met many other Malaysian who already wait in front of Clarks's. Pukul 6.am lg derg dah sampai. Pergh..! Sempatlah berkenal-kenalan. Tengok2 akak tu fr University of Lancaster. Rupanya kawan pd kakak senior kt UIA yg kebetulan satu tempat keje dgn hubby, kak Ruzy. What a really small world! Very small la sampai hubby pon terjumpa x-classmate dia masa kt SMAP Kajang. Siap satu travelodge lg! hehe. Dah 10thn tak jumpa alih2 jumpa kt situ. Nasib dh siap2 exchange contact no.s sbb kt COO tak terserempak langsung dgn dia, tp kawan dia kami jumpa. :D

As soon as the SA of Clarks opened the doors, sume org berpusu-pusu masuk inc. us. Tp for me agak kecewa sbb offer nya tak byk turun. Lg murah masa sy beli kt Clarks Factory Outlet di London aritu. Maka terus sy tawar hati nak beli, ingatkan nak beli boot. Just carikan kasut untuk kawan tp tu pon tade yang macam dia nak. Huhu. As you can see in the picture above, act. hubby was looking for  working shoe. Nak kaler hitam. He also had a hard time searching for the right one. Last2 hubby pon tak beli.

Adik Zafri, satu2nya Orang yg dapat Clark shoes aritu. ^_^

Angah Iris ni demam2 pon masih sporting lg ikut pegi shopping. Good girl.

the eins tolong pilihkan kasut utk babah. :D

While hubby inside Clarks, i took an opportunity to go to other boutiques. And one of the boutiques was Mamas & Papas (tingat Ninie shopping aritu ;)) so yg ikut ummi ialah Along Zahin n adik Zafri. Masa ni Zafri dh rimas duduk dlm carseat Maxi Cosi dia jd nak ta na ummi kenelah dukung dia. huhuhu. Along Zahin tolong tolak stroller adik. Along memang dah banyak boleh harap sekarang. Good girl too. ;)

Along Zahin posing depan playground. Ummi ambil kesempatan nursing adik Zafri masa ni. Adik Zafri nangis2 lapar. So tak jadi shopping kt Mamas n Papas td, letak je balik brg2 yg dah di ambil. Mencabar shopping dgn baby ni..tp sbb ank ketiga jadi ala bisa tegal biasa. ;)

Since Along Zahin was very helpful, i brought her into this jigsaw puzzle world shop. Ingatkan nak belikan dia puzzle Angry bird macam Faaz punye. ;) Unluckily, they got no stock at all. Frust sungguh. Tapi cik kak ni dah aim Disney puzzle. "Ummi Zahin nak puzzle princess.." Dah namanya pon gurgals, balik2 princess stuff jgk yg dia berkenan. :) Beli 2, satu untuk Iris. tp tak dapat gambar yg sama..sbb itu je yg tgl. Ish puzzle pon laku mcm pisang goreng hokey. so as expected, berebut jgk. Maka berlakulah drama air mata di depan kedai puzzle tu..hehehe. Tp senang je pujuk Iris, dia cpt beralah..so sekejap je la drama air mata tu. ;)

Since masing2 dh dpt habuan, jadi ummi pon boleh shopping dlm keadaan tenang. hehehe. so dapatlah 'menangkap' di GAP. Beli baju kids je.

Lepas tu jalan2 jumpa L.K Bennett. Ummi pon singgah survey2 harga. Not bad sebenanrnya. Ada yg mampu dibeli tp disebabkan awal lg dan tak habis survey lg harga handbags di butik2 lain esp Burberry :P jadi ummi tak beli pape kt L.K.Bennette. Psst, jmp Malaysian kt sini, sy nk masuk, dia nk keluar (tgn kosong) sy senyum dia boleh buat dek je..Okla fine la..may be dia tgh period kot so dia tak de mood kot nak borak or senyum. (bersangka baik :P) My 2-cents, walau kaya/tinggi education level macam mana pon, if you don;t have any courtesy value, to me you actually is nothing. Kalau takut/segan sgt nk greet/bg salam at least u smile when u acknowledge someone. lebih2 lagi kalau dia tu satu negara, satu agama dan satu kaum dgn kita . :)

Giant Xmas trees

dlm Polo Ralph Lauren. Tinggal hanger je..hehe

Along Zahin dgn puzzle nya. tak sabar nak masuk Burberry butik belakang tu. Macam loaded sgt je hehe.

Posing dulu kt sini. Belakang tu Michael Korr butik. Butik dia berdepan dgn butik Burberry. Dah tak sabar ni..hehe. Sekali sampai2 depan pintu dia kene tahan daa! SA kata kene tunggu, butik sudah penuh..huhuhu. Ramai lg Msian dll yg senasib dgn sy waktu tu. Jd kami sempat berkenalan sambil beratur depan Burberry. Well tak sume orang macam org yg dkt L.K Bennette tu kan ;)

Ni hubby ambil gambar. Nampak tak kt belakang tu org ramai dpn pintu Burberry..salah sorg tu ummi derg ni la..tp tak nmpk terlindung di belakang mat saleh. Maklumla ummi derang kan rendang aje org nya. hiks.

Peace from Iris. Sporting tunggu ummi shopping kt dlm Burberry. Babah pon sporting jg dh bg greenlight. Tapi tak beli ponnn. Huhu. Sebab masih mahal lg bg sy. hehe. Tapi tak pe la, be positive! Kalau ada rezeki nanti boleh beli. insya Allah ada lg masa and tu pon kalau panjang umur sy. Tatau la kenapa sy minat sgt dgn Burberry. But one of the reason, it's local high end brand. British. I adore Burberry. Pattern dia pon simple je tp elegan n still klu dipakai look young kot berbanding high end brand like LV or Hermes..just to name a few..Tp Gucci er i ada minat jgk..selain LongChamps. *wink* Rasa i ni suka sbb simple je kot handbags fr those brands..Ish make up your mind, or else kumpul duit maa baru boleh beli Burberry, Gucci or LC. hahaha.

Inside Cadbury's World. Borong coklat  n cadbury's instant choc drink powder.  Jauh lg murah la dpd Tesco, Asda ect.

Ok ni plak masa sy shopping dlm Next. Fyi Next pon berbaloi beli. in term of quality. my kids punye apparels fr Next sgt tahan lasak dn boleh dipakai turun temurun. susah nak memeri compare to GAP's apparel. I spent too much time in here. Masa ni hubby n kids dah tunggu dlm van je. Actually ktrg berenti kejap utk makan n smyg. So lps makn n smyg jamak Zuhur n Asar tu, only me je yg pegi shopping kt Next. Sadly, dia punye net dh habis..nmpk sgt ramai dlm next. So sy shopping tade bakul huhu. sakit sgt tangan n bahu main sangkut je kt mana yg boleh. Anyway, kt Next ni sgt best sbb sy jmp kasut utk hubby. hehe. Pastu kt Men's dept tu ternampak plak coat. Teringat yg hubby mmg nak beli coat n pant satu suit. Tapi hubby kt van lak..klu tak beli skrg bila lg kan..sbb tgh boxing day ni la nak beli..sbb mmg murah. sy pon tawakkal je pilih saiz utk hubby. Org2 lelaki mcm pelik je tgk sy shopping kt bhgn derg. sorg2 lak tu...segan i tp demi hubby i buat muka seposen je la. hehe. for me plak, i dpt boot yg i bkenan. 12ppound je after less. ;) few blouses too. and bju2 utk kids n ank kawan yg mengirim. :) Lepas bayar, pegi kt van mintak hubby try siap2 coat n kasut dia..Alhamdulillah ,they fit well with him n he likes esp the coat. Maklumla taste hubby ni bley thn jg tinggi..tp  taste wife dia ni  lg tinggi..so okla kn. wakaka.

Hmm smpi malam shopping. gmbr ni lepas beli pinggan. Kakak2 Msian yg jmp sume kata murah jd dy pon turut terjebak. hehe. Portmeirion ni mmg terkenal la. Sebelom ni sy tak penah dgr atau amik tau pon..Smpi sini je baru dgr..rupanya punyela hot stuff and famous Portmeirion ni. Katanya t Msia, ada jual tp tk byk sbb mahal. Sebiji pinggan katanya beribu2. Pffftttt...Jd kakak2 tu kata jgn lepaskan peluang, tanya hubby, hubby kata pegila beli sedozen dulu..sbb mmg tak terpk dan tak allocate lgsg budget utk Portmeirion. hehe. Aihh tapi takde rezeki sy nak beli sedozen sbb pattern yg sy nak tu tak cukup stok..huhu dh habisssss..Tp tak pe lah, lain kali boleh belli tambah koleksi..;)

Murah sgt. Lps beli sy tanya2 pd kakak2 kt sini..memang murah la so tade la rugi kami beli kan?;)
Actually bukan kisah sgt pon nak beli pinggan2, tp selalu sy kena attack balik. Even mak long sy pon pesan, nti iwan kt UK jgn lupe beli pinggan2 mangkuk dr sana tau. Hmm bila dah masuk sy plak rambang mata dan rasa nk borong je sume. Cantik2 Uol. Gerammsss. yg penting lain dpd yg lain. hehe.

Shopping sampai malam. Tp baru pukul 6pm. Kt London, kawan2 kami ada yg shopping kt Oxford St smpi tgh malam. Memang tabik spring aah. Kami yg beranak kecil ni mmg tak sanggup nak bboxing day kt Oxford St..Mmg la better bargains but i dont think we can handle the kids in such crowds. Otw balik ke London, ami dgr berita ada sorg pelancong di tikam kt Oxford St that day..Ish nauzubillah. Kt Cheshire Oak ni raaaaaamaii jgk tp aman damai aje. No stress, no pressure! Tp tetap ada angan2 nk bboxing day kt Oxford St jgk nti..ye la dh duduk London kan, nak la jgk merasa shopping dan suasana masa boxing day kt Oxford St tu. Ngeee.

Lastly, ni je la hasil tangkapan boxing day kami. hehe. Ukur baju di badan sendiri la kan..tapi tetap bersyukur sgt. Baik ada dpd tiada langsung. Rupanya hubby sempat shoppingour anniversary present kt Timberland. On last 24th Dec, ws our 6th wedding anniversary, Nti la update dlm next post!;)

ni la pinggan Portmeirion sy. suka, suka, suka. Slow2 nak buat koleksi. Kt belakang ada tulis Portmeirion Pottery. Stoke On Trent. Made in England. Made tu yg mhl..sebab skrg ni kt sini kebanyakan brg2 made from China. Esp EPL stuffs like jersey ect. Macam kelaar an EPL tu kn sini tp brg2 dia made out of England. Rasa mcm tak best..Mcm my dad beli topi Liverpool, tp Made in Bangladesh you. hehe sabo je la. ;D

Ok that's all. Wassalam.
