Ku De Ta, Marina Bay Sands

So for the first time in the entire 2013, this aunty went to a club. There was a close friends wedding and i had pledged to them that i would endure a night out. And so i did.

I hung up my stilettos, mini skirts and plunging necklines sometime in 2011 so going to a club is a pretty big deal for me.

Going to a club for aunties 101.

• It cannot be a spontaneous visit. One must mentally and physically prep at least 1-2 weeks before.
• Getting 8-9 hours of sleep in the day prior to club visit will ensure minimal yawning during outing. 
• Clothing, must not be too tight or revealing. Going for classy married lady, not skanky 25 year old. 
• Shoes either trendy flats or platform heels to prevent toes going numb after 1 hour. Unacceptable. How i did this in my 20's is beyond me.
• Make sure you get into the VIP area with your own posse as married Aunties and sex hunting singles have no business mingling. Everything is better in the VIP area (this doesnt apply to all clubs btw). This requires some very happening friends which i am very lucky to have. 
• A beverage with caffeine (like a Vodka Redbull) will prevent you from expiring after 1.30am which is WAAAYYY past bedtime.  
• If you have a choice, go to a no smoke club. If Malaysia don't have go Sg. Sorted. 
• If Saturday crowds are too much for you make everyone go on a Sunday. I was lucky, it was a Sunday. 

Might i say, while i didn't think much of the club, Ku De Ta has a spectacular view.

 The last point. It's the company you go with that will make the night so much less painful and perhaps even quite meaningful. :)

My Threadless Collection

I am a online shopping addict. There i said it. I have memorised my credit card number front and back and shop so much online that i don't even know what to do in a shopping mall anymore. There is the rare occasion that shopping malls come in handy, like buying a formal/cocktail dress, looking for shoes, and getting groceries. But otherwise, if it can be bought online, and shipping is free (MAJOR BONUS), aunty is going to go for it.

So, one of my top 10 favourite online shopping haunts is Threadless. Oh Threadless, how you just know what t-shirts i want. How you lure me with your free shipping deals and 50% sales. Oh Threadless you evil one. TAKE MY MONEY!

I almost made another large purchase today as there are sales on, but the USDMYR exchange rate is making me vomit blood. I can't handle the 3.29 rate. I pretty much only shop when there are sales at it will cost about RM30-40 per tee which i think is a mighty fine price for a quality cotton tee with special artwork.

Do hashtags work on blogger? #threadless ?

Exchange rate aside, on a brighter note, here is the collection!

1. Banana Kitty

 

2. Its Meow or Never. There is even a trailer on YouTube here Meow or Never Video

3. Beautiful bubbles and a turtle

4. I can haz cheeseburger spaceships? Priceless. 

 5. Celestial Cat.

 6. Cats have taken over the Internet. Priceless.

 7. Mister Mittens Adventures. I wish they made more tank tops. These are so comfortable and have a nice relaxed fit. On me at least.

 8. Predators of the ocean. Epic.

 9. Yoga animals!

Broga Hill, Seminyih

I'm sure there have been many posts about this little gem of a hill in the Malaysian bloghosphere but why not another one?

Broga Hill is located in Seminyih and is just past the Nottingham University Campus. Its a modest hill at only 400m in height but offers spectacular views from its peak. The climb is easy and non-life threatening (like Bukit Tabur where so many unfortunate accidents happen) and you can reach the summit in 1-1.5 hours if you go at a medium speed.

The best time to hike is at 6am i reckon. That way you can enjoy a beautiful sunrise and also see the night lights before sunrise. A headlamp or torch light is very useful for the morning hike so do remember that! I forgot to bring a light so i had to use my Iphone's torchlight.

Regular jogging shoes will do the trick but hiking shoes will provide much better grip at the steeper areas. My parents (in their 60's) found the hills a bit steep for their liking.

To reach the final peak of Broga, one must first traverse three hills. Literally. Mild hills but going up and down, then up again then down, then up again then down, then up at last, is a must. But its rewarding. A great morning weekend activity.

To note, i went to Broga Hills with Rebel Bootcamp which organised the hike as part of their October 2013 graduation celebration.
