Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

fwahh.. how’s the damage like for this lil’ baby? year-end bonus is just around the corner~!

its cheap! it’s on 25% sale! bout $450? my aunt helped me buy from the states while we went on the cambodia trip! just waiting for it to fly back..
its been sitting the my aunt house for ages! now i finally SEE & FEEL it..
wwenzz
GOOD DEAL! wah lieww.. i’m so tempted. One day, i’m gonna get a coach too. *contro*
cherieladieblogs
ya. hard to come by man… and have to wait for months before i can get hold of the bag lor.. because my aunt dont really fly here often.
this year is quite an exception..
wwenzz
damn good deal, damn good deal! ahh.. issit possible to get ur aunt to help buy then ship back? just asking one.. that’s not confirm.
cherieladieblogs
can.. but.. there are a couple of things that im worried about..
1. post in US. some of the places are still using manual labor to sort the mails and their mail system is not as efficient as ours. an item may take up to a month to be delivered to sing.
2. i don’t reckon its very safe unless you want to buy insurance for ur post
3. if you do buy insurance and go by registered mail.. the savings may not be that great. the previous coach bag that i bought saved me abt 200+ (not on sale), so it depends on how badly you want the item.
so.. i dunno. it could do.. provided my aunt is willing to drive to the post office and process the mail. she doesnt do it for me.. so.. i duno if she’ll be willing to, cos for them, the post office is quite far and have to go by car.
i_believe
omg! can get her to help me buy the next time?
cherieladieblogs
can.. but it takes a long time for the bag to come back one eh.. cos my aunt dont really fly back often.
and they dont have sale often also..
i_believe
oohhh.. no prob! not in a hurry 😀
thanks girl!
cherieladieblogs
🙂 no probs.
moxielass
v cheap leh. 50% cheaper than here. u really like coach stuff.
i got myself a coach wallet too.
cherieladieblogs
haha. actually the reason is.. its a lot cheaper in the states, so i dont mind buying. i like other brands too, but not very worth my money knowing that i can get it cheaper in other parts of the world.
and where my aunt stays.. coach seemed to be the most accesible. 🙂
pishako
lovely!!
how much was the damage?
cherieladieblogs
cheap! about $450! read my reply to wen!
pishako
wah liewz. wad kind of damage is tt..;p
cherieladieblogs
hee hee. its still damage to me considering my annual income.. 😐
i_believe
again! lol
what’s the damage this time round?
cherieladieblogs
yeah.. AGAIN. *super guilty*
abt 450! it’s on SALE in the states! see my comment to wen!
i_believe
wahhhhhhhh!!
super worth it lo!
cherieladieblogs
*nods* i was contemplating if i should buy when i saw it in sing.. and when my aunt told me its on sale..
wah! BUY! BUY!
i_believe
wahhh.. I want too! lol
cherieladieblogs
lol. i shant buy anymore.. damn addictive.
cherieladieblogs
it’s SAVINGS! this cost near 900 in sing!
wwenzz
wahh.. u can earn some money if u sell it here!
cherieladieblogs
yeah. i potentially could.. but just damn lazy..plus its a hassle to ask my aunt to buy and i dont know when she’s flying back also..
besides, its was a 4 day exclusive sale thingy. quite hard to know what they sell and what’s not.
i also bought a little coach keychain at 50 bucks. 😛
wwenzz
ohh.. which keychain is that?!
cherieladieblogs
the alphabet C keychain. i wanted to get the monkey one too.. but outta stock. 🙁
i_believe
and you got it for..?
jesmineang
nice one… and it prob cost so much more in sg.
cherieladieblogs
ya. i first saw it in the stores here.. 800+
but in the states, they have limited colors. i wanted the chestnut color better (wont be so visible if dirty) but they only have white. 😐
jesmineang
nvm the colour. white equally pretty… so just make sure you take care of the bag lo.
cherieladieblogs
*screams* i just found a black dot stain from my ball point pen!
because im so chor lor..i dont think my bag can survive.. 🙁
vonique
omg. again? ROFL. but it’s sucha a beauty.
cherieladieblogs
*giggles*
ya. AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN!
vonique

silli_boi
hehe.. u see yr bag liao.. got feel ani better?
simoncool
hahaha. look nice, rebecca has the brown one.
$450 is quite a steal, quite worth it i feel.
cherieladieblogs
that’s the ONE i like!!! but the states have limited colors.. so only white is available.
but i thought, 450 (almost half the price!!), WHY NOT?! haha
that explains the empty wallet.. 😐
kenties

hahhaa
cherieladieblogs
f o u r h u n d r e d & f i f t y m o o l a h…..
bourgeois_babe
NICE! Wish I had someone in the States to buy for me man…
cherieladieblogs
🙂 i’m quite fortunate in that sense.. but my uncle is giving me the LOOK for buying so much branded. 😐
he doesnt quite agree with the way the money is spent.. cos my aunt charges my buys to his card first…
lilsnooze
Good price! ahd I like this series – the flap! 🙂
cherieladieblogs
yes. i like it too!! i waited for 2 months before the bag to fly back to me…
i prefer the chestnut color better, but in the states they only have the white.. which is nice too. im just worried it’ll be dirty very soon..
lilsnooze
dont worry, there’s a shop that specialises in washing branded bags..called colour wash or smthing 😛
cherieladieblogs
and so i heard. my colleague told me also.. but i didnt ask the details except the cost.. abt 40-50 bucks per bag rite?
u know where it is?
lilsnooze
Got 2 at Raffles Place! I thot of bringing a bag for them to “wash”. Let u know if I do.
cherieladieblogs
ok ok! thanks! 🙂
meinu_yihui

Hi Cherie,
can i ask if the bag is very big actually? i have someone in the states who might be abe to get it for me too, and im am comtemplating this white design as well..
i am worried if the bag looks too big on me…are u able to describe the size? thanks for helping me!
Lynn
cherieladieblogs
its abt 32cm(w) by 13cm(h). i suggest you go to the stores and try it out? i remember seeing it in the coach stores..
its not too big.. the size is sorta medium and would look good on most people. 🙂
