Yesterday I had the perfect get-together with some old friends. We laughed our hearts out at the silliest things happened when we were twelve. Sometimes, I really wish to time travel into the past and get stuck forever in elementary school.

Chinese New Year is such a pain in the arse. It's been two days I'm having migraine, just like the past years. Now I'm pretty positive that this is a diabolic curse.

From Chanel to Phillip Lim, Isabel Marant to Jil Sander, we witnessed the bursts of pastel colors for Spring/Summer 2012 on the runway. How exciting is this!?

Living in a country with weather as hot as this, girls like me who have zero heat resistance could only dream about wearing gorgeous thick blazers outdoor. I'm so happy that I found the perfect soft blazer! And monk shoes like those, I could wear them all day.

I love it when my room happens to have such soft lighting like this in the morning.

Recently I've been getting a lot about my hair, how it's too long and all, in a bad way. I love my hair, except for the fact that it's damaged and flat. Haha how I wish that some people can be more accepting of super long hair. And I've wanting to get my hair dip-dyed for the longest time but I'm just so fickle-minded! Hopefully I'll soon get my mind set on a suitable color.

Gotta go grab lunch with Eric now, have a fabulous day everyone xx!

With this picture I'm sure you can tell the colour palette of shoes I'm gonna be wearing this year. Those all-black shoes are gonna be my best friends throughout the year!

Also, I'm on Instagram now! No I don't have an iPhone yet (still impatiently waiting for the iPhone 5), but I use Instagram occasionally via my sister's or Eric's phone. Follow me if you'd like xx :)

isabel marant sneakers

2012-01-09T14:39:00.003+08:00

Recently I've been obsessed with the Isabel Marant sneakers. There are two kinds of sneakers: Bekket and Willow. I love that Willow has a higher hidden wedge heels, about 3.5 inches.

I am now on a scavenger hunt!

It was Eric's birthday eve. So glad that the surprise dinner we had for him didn't fall all over the place. Everything worked out smoothly as we planned (besides some traffic hiccups). It was a great dinner, lots of laughter and gossips haha! Hope the birthday boy enjoyed himself! Happy birthday again susieboy ❤

Rocket leaves salad and ANTM All Stars finale for lunch. I'm so anxious to find out who the winner is! I want Allison to win with all of my heart. She's definitely my all-time favorite ANTM model. So introverted, so unique and beautiful. Go Allison!!

Update: I AM DEVASTATED. ANTM always chooses the tackiest tranny.

2011-12-08T12:30:00.006+08:00

It's cloudy today. The downpour has only just begun. Had yogurt with fresh strawberries and blueberries for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. I reckoned that I should really eat something healthy at least one meal per day. Boy, you have no idea how unhealthy my everyday meals are. Chili, starch, oil, instant noodles, whatever shit you can think of. On top of that, this severe constipation haunts me. But thank god for my boyfriend who trained me hard at gym yesterday. My body parts are aching! Time to take a nice shower in this beautiful drizzly weather!

happy birthday mommy!

Today is my mommy's birthday! Despite that I always take her for granted, I love her so much, my beautiful mommy. She's the best mom anyone can ever ask for. I can't thank her enough for all these years. She on the other hand is my best shopping partner. Well, I'm her worst, as she pays for my shopping. Hahaha!

During my high school years, she prepared yummy heavy breakfast for me just the way I liked it and drove me to school everyday at 7am without fail. And when the very first time I drove to college on my own, she was there, seeing me off. That's the kind of emotion that, you can barely put into words.

Happy birthday Mommy! I promise I'll be a good girl. You are always beautiful in my heart, I love you!

kori off the chain // 500 days

2011-12-02T18:20:00.002+08:00

Most people know I've been a HUGE fan of Alexander Wang. His designs are plain genius and effortless. This pair Kori Off The Chain boots, of course, is not the real deal, despite the box embossed with the brand name (you've got to be impressed by China's commitment in the knockoff business haha). This is also an early xmas gift from my beloved Mommy!

Have a great weekend ahead!

a tuesday midnight

2011-11-29T00:35:00.006+08:00

A chilly night with nothing but twinkle lights and bunny toys to accompany me. This is definitely one of those nights — when you are worn out by every little thing that upsets you but refuse to go to bed. So I thought it would be great to photograph all the twinkle lights in my bedroom! I'm not surprised by how well some of the dismal-looking photographs reflected the melancholic mood of mine right now, that's just one of the many amazing things about photography. By the way, that's my sister's new light ball from ikea.

Holiday's been awfully sluggish and unproductive. I have been thinking to pick up Korean again after 3 years (did not continue because of exams). But then bam! That's an extra expense, considering I haven't been in good control of my fashion lust (i'm a terrible daughter ugh). But hey, I survived Cyber Monday woohoo! (well I was just THIS close to checking out some online orders). Okay to end this post, a random thought just struck my mind: I want to buy more Alexander Wang knockoffs (or perhaps the real deals when I finally can afford them)!

Thanks you all for reading!
Love y'all!

Wearing the oversized leopard sweatshirt and denim shorts from my online haul. The cap is from Gmarket, Eric has one in white! And that's my favorite Camel rucksack that my dad gave to my sister when she was younger and now it has become one of my all-time favorite bags! I believe the bag is over 10 years old and it's still in perfectly good shape.

So I'm on my semester break right now and have been nothing but a snoozy slug at home, reading amazing fashion blogs and feeling inspired. Right now I'm blogging and watching TV, guess that's all for today. Love y'all!

2011-11-22T15:09:00.003+08:00

#1 Oversized leopard sweatshirt. I love how baggy it is. I've always have a soft spot for everything oversized and my mom is concerned about me not taking care of my figure because oversized clothes sort of hide away all your bulging fats. Hahaha.
#2 Pleated woven back sweater. That's how the back looks like. The minute when I saw it online, the details at the back just blew me away. Thank God I got the last piece!
#3 Jersey leather shorts. Here's another soft spot - Jersey with anything else! Totally wearable.
#4 Oversized denim shorts. Needless to say I love these oversized shorts, this simply doesn't do their beauty justice.
#5 Mesh body. Perfect for crop tops!

Sometimes I just buy stuffs without really thinking whether or not I am really gonna use them. I have too many unused brand new stuffs that I don't want them to go to waste, they deserve better owners out there. I'm selling away some of my preowned items (which are in perfect condition) too. So please help me clear out my wardrobe here!! Ships to west and east Malaysia :)

Just thought I'd share with you guys these amazing cinemagraphs by Jamie Beck & her husband Kevin Burg, some of you have probably seen them before. Something more than just visual pictures, yet not motion videos. Truly breathtakingly beautiful. When I saw these cinemagraphs months ago, I was truly captivated. Now that I revisited them, I have never been more amazed! Just had to share them! Featuring my current favorite model Coco Rocha, along with some Louboutins, & Rosie Tupper. Cheers to the very talented and inspiring artists! Don't you love how some simple little things created by wonderful people could make one magical moment in your life, even just for a second?

They will come off, eventually. It's been almost 2 and a half years already (whoa I didn't realize until I counted). I am so excited about my 3-month holiday already!! It's gonna be a great one. I'm gonna be looking for jobs, hopefully all my plans work out. Have a great weekend lovelies!

These are some stills from my healthy eating video, a pretty simple one. My sister has helped me a lot on these. We were rushing to get the filming done indoor before sundown! Thus the not-so-fab lighting. But I'm still happy with the overall outcome! Oh do you guys wanna see my teen mom short film? I wouldn't be able to upload the video due to copyright issues but I can post the stills on my blog. Let me know :)

Ugh I've been sick for a few days now thank god I've recovered. Time to kill some assignments again. Oh my life. & All my heart goes to the flood victims in Bangkok. Poor Eric might have to cancel his trip to Bangkok this time.

you keep me hanging on

2011-10-29T16:24:00.000+08:00

Went to college today with a denim top paired with my favourite black flare skirt, just to find out that the 8 o'clock class was cancelled. The weather these days is complete nutcase! Friends are falling sick and the migraine is killing me.

That tells how life-ruining university can be! Haha.

Ever heard of Marimo? It's a species of green algae balls, widely known as the lucky 'love plant' in Japan! They are super cute-looking and easy to take care of. I can easily spend 30 minutes just looking at them and the shrimps swim in the glass.

2011-10-10T13:28:00.004+08:00

It doesn't seem like a good day today. Seems like a lot of people had a bad morning, so did I. One day we will all get too tired and let go of everything we have so much love for. Sometimes it just gets too hard. There's always a part of us that tries to be good for the people we love. Somehow, we just fail.

Meh, enough with this retarded emo shit. It's Monday today and I have no classes! I wish there was magical woods nearby where I can just hide in the woods and do nothing at all. I just wanna lay on the meadow, surrounded by beautiful flowers and think absolutely nothing at all. Oh dreams, please come true one day. Now, back to reality, off to go cook lunch with sis!

Have a great week guys! Enjoy some of my favourite inspiring photos by Kitty Gallannaugh!

dream-like carousel

2011-10-09T11:31:00.010+08:00

(pictures by vogue)

I have never been a fan of Louis Vuitton for the longest period, and never in my life would I think that I'd blog about it. I just couldn't grasp the idea of this crazy fascination of the bags, which is why I couldn't care less about its fashion line. But this time, the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 collection has truly amazed me. Elegance, magical, simplicity, minimalism, timelessness; It was so Chanel. A spinning carousel with white horses, pastel feather dresses, clean updo, Kate Moss,.... Marc Jacobs is simply capable of anything amazing. The video of the fashion show gives me goosebumps, literally, in a magical way. Simply too beautiful for words. I'm in love.

Of course, so much more interactive compared to Taylor's horny ducks. Haha! It was indeed a great getaway as it's been a depressing week, trust me. I always thought I could handle pressure rather well but this time, I guess not.

2011-09-29T13:14:00.001+08:00

Last night I decided to skip class and stay home. Digital Media is starting to get really boring. So I'm home 'supposedly doing assignment'. Recently I've been having doubts about my studies. Is this the correct path? I don't know. There's one thing I am totally positive about - Fashion will be my life-long career, no matter what, I'd love to be at the backstage. But doing fashion in Malaysia? Meh.

2011-09-28T23:59:00.004+08:00

I have an explanation for the title above actually. Eric calls me the 'little sultan' whenever I wear this vest. I have no idea why, but he's cute that way. Haha! I really love how old-fashioned this vest is, despite the fact that it's not vintage, it makes me feel like I am living in the 90's.

This morning, Sis helped me with my filming so now I am through with the first 26 secs of my 10-min short film. Phew, such a long way to go.

(Oh yeah I have FINALLY fixed my blog's comment link issue that had bugged me for over a year! Cheers!)

I love waterfall braids (shit, horrid black roots). Thanks sis for doing it for me. She's been my best hairstylist since I was young. I still remember I went to kindergarten one day with my hair french-braided by her, and ended up being chosen by teacher to portray Goldilocks for the day's drama acting!

Pffff, just wanted to take a break from all the assignments I'm having now. Anyway, it's 9/11 and it's Daddy's birthday! I know he can't see this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

I go through phases all the time. One minute I'm crazy about colour denims, another minute I'm obsessed with sloppy tanks. As of now, sweater + flippy skirt is the phase I am going through right now. I love its simplicity and how easily it is to put them together when I don't feel like wearing anything else.

I am so glad to be back from China! Not to say it was a horrible trip though, the time spent with the family was definitely priceless. Time to get showered and hit the sack!

On the sunny side of the street

2011-08-26T19:45:00.085+08:00

Thanks mom for the shades! And dad for the new camera. I am so spoilt with love and it fills me with feelings of guilt, & of course I'm grateful how blessed I am. Oh and I swear I didn't realize the shades are tilted to exactly the same side.

There's actually an embarrassing story behind these shades. A long one. So the other day I went to Midvalley to see if the shades were available in the store. Lucky me, I found them but the pair was crooked so I requested for a new one. So, the cashier kindly got me a new pair for me to check and went back to cashiering. Then again, this pair was also crooked and even worse, the paint was off. But the cashier was too busy to attend to me due to the crazily long queue. Being a considerate customer (haha!) I waited and approached a staff whom I assumed was free. In the end, he still went to the cashier and asked him to get a new one for me. The cashier must be thinking that I was really snobbishly fucked up as he looked really unhappy and grumpy and continued cashiering.

I thought I'd give him some time so I walked around the store. A moment later we headed to the counter to pay for my shades and my sister's stuffs. Then I saw the shades that I requested to change were still laying there. So I told the cashier that I wanted a new one and he said, 'I've already gotten a new one for you.' Me, 'Nono I know it's a new one but I need another one.' Him, 'It's already a new one.' At this point I got really annoyed and according to my sister I was really loud and grumpy, 'NO! The paint is off here! You see here.....'

And he said, 'I have already gotten a NEW one for you.' Suddenly there were no marks on the shades as I took a closer look. Turned out he did take a better pair for me. So I was pretty embarrassed and apologized to him. That was really bad of me :(

Anyway! Been feeling so uninspired these days. I have a short film assignment coming up and in need of a cute 4/5-year-old little girl! Otherwise I'll have to think of another topic. Can anyone help me with that please?

It was Kate Moss's wedding day. So breathtakingly beautiful, beyond magical. She's truly blessed.

I have always dreamt of having a garden wedding (or a beach wedding), getting married to the love of my life, with my family and all our friends with us. Flowers, white dresses, old english, french vintage, air filled with love, that's exactly how I want my wedding to be.

Would my dream come true one day? It will, it certainly will.

Feeling very inspired by Zuzi, I decided to do something fun with Eric — We did a 'levitation' photoshoot! I'm absolutely satisfied with the outcome and will keep doing this in the future. Besides, I love doing fun things like this!

Eric doing his favourite 'Masterlock' on me. He almost killed me doing this (with crazy swings!) the other day. Hahaha! Will post up more levitation photos soon!

how adorable are these?!

this friday (mid)night

2011-07-22T00:21:00.002+08:00

Nothing much. Just chilling in the middle of the night, watching youtube videos and Hercules. And I have to thank Dad for the macpro! I used to think this piece of crap was overrated as hell. The ONLY downside of macpro is the built-in battery, provided I'm using the lappy as my main computer now, charging and draining the battery can be a hasty task (or a good disciplinary programme MY FOOT!). Thus, no leaving the lappy on overnight and the heat generated is pretty much annoying. NEVERMIND! The pros effortlessly outweigh the cons! :D

you're a part-time lover and a full-time friend

24 months ago, we were two complete strangers, living our own high school life.
15 months ago, we met each other for the very first time, with our college best friend Wai Leong.
14 months ago, we became best friends day by day. We told each other almost everything.
13 months ago, we were still hanging out everyday in college, chatting with each other every night.
12 months ago, you caught me off guard and told me, 'let's get together', with your arm around my shoulders. 5 days after, we went on our very first date as a couple. That was one of the most memorable days in my life.

Today, it's our 1st anniversary together.

The past 12 months has been magical. Friends come and go, but you have never left me (lost quite a number of good old friends (god knows why) but made couples of awesome friends as well). Besides my family, you are the most protective of me, wanting the best for me. Sometimes I secretly blame you for spoiling me with too much of love.

It's common that most couples share the same interests. Strangely, we do not. He may be skeptical about my taste in indie music, I may not understand his obsession with wrestling, but we both share the same love. Oh! We do share the same passion for food! We'd go grab our favourite food at least once or twice a week. That is a must-do thing for each date.

Of course our relationship isn't perfect, but it feels just right. You are so comfortable to be with that I have nothing to hide when I am with you. And everyday, you tell me that you love me without fail.

The two things I am grateful for in my life - First, my family; second, you.
This post doesn't do you justice, simply because I can't thank you enough for being such an awesome boyfriend for me.

Happy 1st anniversary, baby.
Love, Bobby.

One of the many pictures from yesterday's fun photoshoot for Berry's assignment. I had fun jumping and laughing with Eric and Berry.

Something sucks has been happening for quite some days. I don't know what's strange, but, I goddamn know it that I'm not in the wrong so yeah. Well, it happens. At least I know who actually cares.

oh my lovely (faux) Pradas

This has got to be the best shoes I have ever owned in my life. Actually, I have been looking for these creepers for months and thank god I finally found them! So so beautiful that I'd hug them to sleep. Today I wore them out for the first time. Trust me, it's really painful to walk in those because the idea of them getting dirty and all every time I step on the ground really kills me.

I am hopelessly obsessed with shoes, these shoes.

2011-07-02T00:29:00.006+08:00

My first event job ever. It was all fun and not even tiring! Got to work with friends for AXN and had tons of fun. Been so busy with my part-time job lately. It gets boring sometimes and at the end of the day, it drains me of energy. Nevertheless it's been a great experience! I'd love if you guys just drop by Topshop if you happen to be in Sunway Pyramid!

I've got a job! Er, two actually. One event job from Berry on this sunday, another one would be working for my favourite British clothing retailer (totally didn't expect to get the job), maybe for a month until the commencement of my second semester. Guess where?

Here's a beautiful song from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,

love list

2011-06-21T19:51:00.003+08:00

Are you in a relationship? Yes!
Have you kissed anyone today? No :(
Where do you draw the line for cheating? I guess, kissing? But having romantic feelings for other girls is as bad as kissing.
Are you romantic? I don't know, probably not?
How would you describe the perfect boyfriend? Eric? :B
How would you describe yourself as a girlfriend? A pretty annoying one. Haha!
What’s important in a relationship? Loyalty.
Have you ever cried in front of someone you liked? Yes, he's always there wiping my tears and lending me his shoulder.
Have you ever played with anyones feelings? No.
How many relationships have you been in? One.
How long was your longest relationship? Yesterday was our 11th month together!
Do you want to be single or be in a relationship? I'm in a relationship, so yeah. But I don't think being single is a bad thing.
Are you a good girlfriend? This, the boyfriend has to answer. Haha!
How old were your parents when they became a couple? I think in their mid-twenties?
Would you tattoo the name of your love? As much as I love my boyfriend, I wouldn't. It's kind of a stupid thing to do. But I will get a tattoo of my choice one day!
Have you mostly been the one to dump or the one to get dumped? Neither.
When you want someone, what do you do? I'll try and be close with him, get to know more about his interest.
Best pick-up line? Eric has some good ones, but I forgot!
What would the perfect date look like? Holding hands for the first time, having his hands around the shoulders in the cinema, tons of forehead and cheek kisses, dining together with the best food!
Who’s the most important person of the other sex in your life? My dad, followed by Eric. Haha!
If your boyfriend cheated on you, what would you do? A tight slap for him, and I cry my heart out to guilt him to hell, and break it off with that bastard!
Do you want to get married? Sometimes I do. I think marriage is a beautiful thing, having to decorate our own little crib the way we want it to be. And the wedding is one of the best parts!
Do you want to have children? Not really. I don't have enough guts to go through pregnancy and raise kids. Anyway, I'm still too young to talk about this. Ah! Eric and I jokingly agreed on naming our son Ashton one day. Hahaha!
Do you fall in love easily? Used to when I was younger. After a heartbreak, I hardly fall in love (there were crushes), until I met Eric.
What do you fall for? Guys who make me laugh like a chimpanzee, and also attractive masculine qualities.
What’s the most non-sexy thing you know? Beard and mustache. AND! Oversized t-shirts, not sexy.
How important is it that you have things in common? It's important, but come to think of it, it doesn't really matter when you love the person wholeheartedly. Eric and I have very few things in common to be honest, but we're working it out. I think this quote suits us perfectly - We're so different, yet so alike.
Have you ever had your heart broken? Yes, it took me three years to get over that jerk.
How do you hit on guys? Nope.
Do you prefer a certain kind of appearance on guys? Not really. I think personality matters most.
Who was your first love? Eric :B
What do you think about having sex on the first date? Not for me. I'm conservative on this matter and I'm against letting any guys screw you before years and years of relationship building. Marital sex is preferred.
What do you think about one night stands? I have nothing against people with that kind of lifestyle, especially in western countries, but personally I think it's dirty, stupid and low. To me, sex = love, not just fucking anyone around.
Is love everything in life? Of course it is! Both family love and romantic love :)

This is a piece that you'll see me wearing a lot. A long blazer my sister and I bought quite awhile ago, and finally I'm wearing it! I guess I have small shoulders that's why the blazer looks way oversized on me. Thank God I have a thing for oversized blazers.

The first semester of degree was a toil. I can say it was like 10 times harder than foundation. But it was still good, sometimes. Got to know a lot of nice classmates. I was shocked when my Effective Communication lecturer told me that I did a terrific job in my play. That's surprising given the fact that I can't act and I hate acting (impersonating drama characters with friends is an exception).

Some stupid tips? Screw it. Let loose (LIKE REALLY LOOOOSE). Fuck my life. & Improvise!

My plan for tomorrow: Crash Eric's place and play LA Noire on his PS3. He thinks I can't pick up the game (or any other PS3 games), it's time to prove him wrong.

It was a birthday dinner for Jared and Tracy at Chili's. Had fun sipping magarita, taking silly pictures, and watching Sharapova vs Li Na. Chili's chicken mushroom soup was the bomb!

The semester is ending soon, and it's working time!
