2012-01-22T03:06:00.001-08:00

We celebrated mum’s 58th birthday at home, like what we did with dad’s. Overall, the night was fun, filled with good food and good company. =) I’ll let the pictures do the talking… ^^

Let the cooking begins…

What’s a party without some booze?

FOOD!!!

Dad’s pals…

There were a lot more eye, but my stomach can only fit so many… I missed the asam laksa… =(

I splat on some make-up for the occasion…and am liking the long sleeve top a lot… ^^ I flew off the Thailand on the next morning…and now I am back…man, time flies when you’re having fun… =(

Looking forward to welcoming Turtle’s homecoming from the States! I wonder if he had all of the souvenirs I ordered…haha!

Anyway, it’s CNY eve, how’s your reunion dinner? Hope you have a great one, I am having mine later tonight…Looking forward to it

Well, the last night, we had a gala dinner, also known as the Captain’s Night, where everyone dresses fabulously formal and dine with the ship’s captain. The thing you need to know is that this dinner needs early reservation, which can be done once you are onboard the ship. They ran out of single table when B & I went to make our reservation so we ended up sharing a round table with another 4 person.

Captain’s table…

We ended up having the whole table by ourselves when the 4 person didn’t show up…

The crew were dancing while serving the dessert…

Yum yum~

Day 4 – time to head back to reality…but before that, one last breakfast onboard, in the restaurant facing the moving ocean…

My new found love – yogurt + longan + peach!!! *drool*

Flew back to KL from Penang…

That’s all for my Cruise ship diaries… More pictures from B’s camera is coming and some beautiful panoramas. Stay tuned. =)

Have a great Chinese New Year! ^^

With love,

Cruise ship diary. Day 3.

2012-01-21T06:45:00.001-08:00

Today, we are going to Krabi for the beautiful crystal clear water! Island hopping, yeap~ ‘Shopping’ with out the ‘$’ ! ^^ Similar to yesterday, we bought the tour package on the cruise, with RM183 per person. Initially I wanted to go to Phi Phi Island, which is known for its beautiful beaches, but one person would cost RM343 per person, so maybe next time…

Time to get back on the ship…

Taken when our speedboat was circling the ship, out of boredom… haha!

This is me, preparing to go for my very first accupressure massage! And it is ouch-fully awesome!!

I am gonna stop here for this post, before I upload more pictures from the gala dinner, a.k.a. Captain’s night. So, stay tuned!

With love,

Cruise ship diary. Day 2.

2012-01-21T06:06:00.001-08:00

We disembark from the belly of the giant iron boat after a hearty breakfast, to Phuket. We had to pay for the ground package, in which we chose to watch the famed Simon Cabaret show. The ground package per person is RM153, which is booked onboard through the StarCruise touring reception.

Bacon for breakfast? A dream-come-true!!!

Morning line-dancing!

If you’ve noticed, the pictures of the second day is SO MUCH better in terms of lighting and all, well, all thanks to my trusty ND filter! How do I live without it? haha, too bad the first day I didn’t bring it out from the luggage.

Phuket Island

One of my fave picture!

In case you are wondering, these statues are prayer offerings made by Thai company or person…and they are absolutely beautiful…

Our tour guide even prepared ponchos for us, in the rainy day…how considerate!

Wat Chalong – Temple for the Gods of Good Fortune

My first Tom Yum and Thai Milk Tea in Thailand! ^^ yum~

Night life along Patong Beach, Phuket

Some locals paint for a living…

My second Tom Yum in one day…I wish I can eat it all day long…

Bought two of these, it is absolutely beautiful~~

Q: What’s more awesome than a PINK microbus??

A: A pink microbus filled with BOOZE!! ^^

My victorious collection from Patong Beach shopping spree! All these under RM300!

Here’s the half part of my whole cruising vacay. Day 3? Krabi Island!! No shopping, just crystal clear water and island snorkeling/ hopping! =)

Stay tuned!

With love,

Cruise ship diary. Day 1.

2012-01-21T05:30:00.001-08:00

Yeap~ I went on a cruise vacay! ^^ Haha, my first cruise since my last voyage when I was 3. I love love the idea of cruising, being out in the open ocean, counting stars in the night on the deck, no curfew, and of course the all-you-can-eat buffet! Destination? The amazing Thailand. =)

Enroute to Penang to the StarCruise dock

This will be our home for the net few days! =) It is very clean and comfy, with a view of the beautiful ocean…

With no time to waste, we walk around the cruise before it sails…

SuperStar Libra is the third largest fleet of its kind, with 10 floors =) fyi

Reception, from above

Our first meal onboard, quite simple…

Sunset from our window! So beautiful…it is different when you view it in the open sea, from a shore and on top of a mountain…

Preparing to go walkie-walkie before the dinner starts…

The color is absolutely stunning!

Tropical BBQ dinner, with grilling, a variety of rice, a whole table full of whole cakes…and the smell of grilled shrimps!!! if you love Manhattan Fish Market, you will DIE here! lol…I did…

We bought a bottle of wine… ^^ I should order white wine instead… =(

The pool deck at night

No reception, whatsoever, but we did managed to navigate ourselves with the GPS…as seen, the cruise is near Langkawi now, approaching Thailand!

Wenz, you know what I am trying to point out…

If you haven’t seen a hot French yet, he will point himself out in the next picture…

There you go! I risked breaking the Internation Cabaret Law to take this picture for you! You owe me lunch! =)

So, here goes my first day. Day 2? Phuket…shopping spree!!! I am picking up where I left off in Bali! And Tom Yum (lots and lots of it) and Thai Milk Tea… yum!

Stay tuned, Day 2 coming up next!

With love,

Counting down to 2012!

2012-01-02T01:19:00.001-08:00

My new year’s eve was everything but fancy. As usual, to celebrate with the NZ gang. This year, only 6 of us turned up, and it was really great fun to be catching with them. No awkward silences just good heart-aching laughs! ^^ Bato Yeow planned to bail on us for dinner, but eventually we managed to ‘kidnap’ him to steamboat with us at the end. It was great… =) How was your 2011? I hoped each one of you had a great one. Mine is terrific, with ups and downs. I am now on the 2nd day of my 2012, still working on my new year resolution that I plan to keep strictly. I’ll let you know if I succeed on my next new year’s eve post, happening 364 days later!

My last dress of the year! =)

We’re in MIAMI, b*itch! lol… =) *innocent wink*

B & I

Leo (boy, he really grew up to be a heart-breaker!), Jason, B, me, Jikkei and Bato Yeow!

Steamboat dinner @ Jikkei’s

The most beautiful post…

2011-12-29T01:35:00.001-08:00

So, here I am, sitting on thee floor, doing some senseless wandering on the net, when I decided to write this post. It’s a collage of some of the most beautiful pictures I’ve collected over a period of time. Instead of keeping it to myself, why not share it with you guys too, right? =) Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL PLACES:

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE:

A Sony NEX adapted with a Leica lens! A perfect hybrid of perfections! xD

A dog with a soon-to-be-born baby of his owner, such a beautiful story…

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS:

I would like to give the credit of these following pictures to my favourite photographer in the world, Luster Studios! He is so gifted that he manages to capture every beautiful moment in every wedding! Some of his pictures touches people in the heart so much that some of it are imprinted in my mind for-ever… Do click here to see more of his work. =)

I would like to end this post with the picture above. It was the first picture that started my passion for Luster Studios, it has a story behind it that goes like this:

The bride of the wedding told Craig (the photographer) that the one and only one picture that she wanted from the wedding is the look on the groom’s face when she walked down the aisle, and there it is! ^^

Alrights, till here for now, stay tuned.

With love,

My 2011 Christmas…

2011-12-26T04:30:00.001-08:00

Well, my Christ,as started off looking blue *humming ‘Blue Christmas’ by M. Buble*, with most of my friends so far and out of reach… Looks like I will be celebrating Christmas alone. The drama series Bones said, “If you are celebrating Christmas alone, it means nobody loves you.” For some reason, it got stuck in my mind.

B went back to Melaka on the 23th, but he was so sweet… I met him at Sunway after meeting with my manufacturer in regards of my Ideation Award competition. When we finished shopping, as we walked back to our car, I sensed something weird, by the way he walked so oddly slow and all. And once I opened the car door, I screamed !!! Strapped in by the safety belt, on the passenger side, was a super adorable penguin, with a huge lollipop! He surprised me with a Christmas gift… My heart skipped a beat~~ ^^

Everybody, meet Guin Guin! Isn’t he so adorable? Man, that smile is so CUTE!!!

And with B back in Melaka, I went out with two of my favourite girls for Christmas eve...Wenz & Ave~ I had a blast chatting with you, Wenz (and no, I am not taking out the ‘z’ from your ‘wenz’, haha) It’s been a long time since we laughed so hard, ^^ Ave joined us later after she left work.

You probably can’t tell, but I tried on some make up for my favourite festival of the year~ But I am likin’ it…haha

Winter Warmer’s… I absolutely love the interior of this cosy café…

Tried Lavender Milk Tea…hmm, love the milk tea, minus the lavender. So, note to self, go for Royal Milk Tea next time…

Did some shopping with mum earlier and got myself this… ^^

(zin, try and stop me now…muahaha)

Got this peacock necklace for myself, it is so beautiful…the work is intricate~~

And B actually came down to KL to celebrate Christmas with me =) Went to Pavilion, since it’s the only mall that I haven’t been to for a long time and I’ve always wanted to check out the Christmas decoration. There were so many people there that we couldn’t get down to the ground floor to check out the Christmas décor and all our phone network is jammed up… =( Oh well…

Ha, that’s all there is to my Christmas, nothing special, but it was, to me, a great one~ ^^ thank you so much for your company, it definitely made my year…

With love,

ps: I might have gotten myself a job in next year starting February… *boo hoo hoo* =(

pps: Have a merry belated Christmas!

Happy 3rd year anniversary, B~ ^^

2011-12-11T06:48:00.001-08:00

Time flies, B & I have been together for three years now, since 8th of December 2008. We’ve known each other for 5 years now. So many things are happening, and I myself isn’t sure how the future will hold up for us with me going overseas for my degree and etc. But, two things for sure, future- only time will/ can tell and secondly, we have all the time now to celebrate. =) Life is like ice, enjoy before it melts…

So, we went to Sunway for a light celebration, nothing fancy, just a simple dinner at Bubba Gump. The food isn’t as good as expected, but then again, great food is hard to find nowadays. However, I did dressed up a little for the occasion, haha. I like dressing up lately, it makes me feel good, empowered. Wanting to look good isn’t something bad, and if you DO happen to look good, then it’s a bonus. ^^

Before that, here are some picture taken during the farewell dinner for Zin @ Italiannies.

Shun, trying to look adorable~ =)

Farewell lunch for everyone @ Ayam Penyet Ria

Cher, protecting Belinda’s bakery from Jackie

Went to One U with B… I was all teary having said so many goodbyes, he cheers me up with my favourite comfort food, Thai cuisine with milk tea. ^^

Thai Milk Tea, yum~~

Lemongrass juice

Seafood tomyam!! =)

All my shopping from Bali, I absolutely love love love all the dresses I bought, and cloths…Man, I want to get back there as soon as possible!

My Esprit messenger bag is starting to chip away, so I got myself a new one from Esprit Christmas season…Don’t you just love the vintage red tone and the shape? *wink wink* the size is just perfect and you can use it as a clutch too!

Okay, back to our 3rd year anniversary.

I wore the maxi dress I got from Bali, splat on some make-up and voila! Out we go. Haha.

Bubba Gump has a collection of spice bottles with very interesting logos on it…some funny too~

Spider web holding up some of the lantern’s fringe…I thought it is very poetic, don’t you think so too?

Did some light shopping with B @ IKEA while looking for new fabrics to kick start moocraft for the season. =)

[ Zin, if you are seeing this, hahaha! You can’t stop me now! ]

With that note, I am ending this post for the night. Gonna wash my Big Bunny tomorrow, it’s been raining so often that it gets dirty so quickly. I think Honda Insight has just single-handedly saved the car washing industry so much because the most sensible color is white and it requires constant cleaning. Cheers to that, haha!

With love,

Fly to Bali in a G6! (part 3)

That’s the end of our trip…It was amazing, although I fell sick but it was all worth it…

With love,

Fly to Bali in a G6! (part 2)

2011-12-06T08:49:00.001-08:00

Day 3 – Went to Uluwatu for the beautiful temple by the cliff and the beach…

As usual, the day started with Zin threatening to empty Catherine’s Longchamp into the pool…

Belinda and a whole lot of other cameras…

Some BTS of how our shots are being taken

My first trial run for my new ND filter…Gotta say, I am LIKING it! Worth every penny!

Yup, we’ve got ourselves a pointer on the right…

I like how overly exposed we are… ^^

Don’t ask…

I have no idea either… =)

Don’t you just love love love the colors in this picture?

On our way in to Uluwatu Temple…

Best impersonation of monkeys…Shun wins…

Last dinner in the villa~ BBQ, yum!

Night swim in our pool…It was a beautiful night, with beautiful night sky…

A surprise birthday cake for Shun…

Cake on fire!!! Note to self: NEVER put 20 self-rekindling candles on one single cake…

The night ended with us talking until 4am in the morning…A lot of unsaid goodbyes…and uncried tears… I guess facebook just made staying in touch that much easier…

Day 4 coming up soon. Stay tuned.

With love,

Fly to Bali in a G6! (part 1)

2011-12-06T08:02:00.001-08:00

Finally, with the final presentation of our college life behind us, it’s time for the Bali Graduation Trip we’ve been planning for months.

It’s a 4 days 3 nights trip, with 13 people in total. We stayed in a villa in Serobokan, Bali. We have the whole villa to ourselves, including 5 personal servant, 1 butler, 1 chef, 2 security guard and 1 driver. Man, we were pampered like royalties. The villa is named Surya Damai, do click here if you are planning a trip to Bali and am looking for a place to stay. I would strongly recommend you this! Serious~

So, Day 1. We arrived in the afternoon, greeted by the staffs with hand towel, squash drinks and finger food! How thoughtful~ For the rest of the day, we stayed in the villa, the beautiful villa… =) However, I was sick with fever and sore throat, so I slept early. =[

Our villa is located among beautiful rice fields

Welcome drinks…some tropical fruit squash…Very refreshing

Really for the pool?

It’s a 18m infinity pool, the depth ranges from 1.3m to 2.4m.

My room, right next to our giant cabana. =) Super comfy.

Open air bathroom, with shower AND bathtub…they even prepared toothbrush and toothpaste…

Everything here is clean and well-kept.

Our giant cabana!

Day 2 – I didn’t bring along my camera, but we went to Tanah Lot, Monkey Temple and Ubud Market. I did quite a lot of shopping, sharpened my bargaining skill with Zin, it was AWESOME!! But I had food allergic, so my skin was all covered with red rash…Scared the crap out of me…The staff called the doctor, and it was my first doctor-on-house-call…The doc brought two nurses, and man, I almost fainted when I saw the bill… *drumsroll* ready? 1.4 MILLION RUPIAH ( MYR500!!!) I ended up paying with my credit card… =’( but at least the medicine worked…

More views, seen through Seng’s fish eye lens…

2 of the 3 bungalow units in our villa…

Handcrafted silver wear…

Groupies in front of a Balinese temple…

Tanah Lot cliff at sunset~

My victorious collection by the end of the day…

Day 3 and 4 will be updated soon. Along with a dedicated post on traveling tips to Bali. Stay tuned! =)

With love,

A 60th birthday and a Cheong Sam

2011-11-10T06:21:00.001-08:00

Dad is turning 60 this year! Time really does fly, I still remember how young he was 20 years back, when I can barely walk properly. I am truly blessed to be dad’s little girl and how lucky I am to be growing up in this beautiful family.

I remember vividly that some time two years ago, I posted something here, and I mean it still now. There is no words I can say to express my gratitude for dad and mum are healthy and well, most importantly happy with each other’s company.

So, this 60th birthday, B and I gave dad and mum a trip to Shanghai, China as present, hopefully they will enjoy it. After so much trouble bringing me up, they deserve some nice treat. ^^

So, 60th birthday! It was a massive one! The evening started slow, with guests arriving slowly around 6pm, and then, by the time we finish our early dinner, almost 300 guests turned up! The 6 tents that we rented were all packed, some guests didn’t even have a place to sit. Haha~ Dad hired a live band to enhance the night with nice oldies and everyone was having great fun. I even see Uncle Imai, whom I have not seen for more than 1.5 years, and Uncle Graham too. B’s parents came all the way from Melaka too.

The night ended at 2am, after 11 CARTONS OF BEERS AND 26 BOTTLES OF WINE!!! All the food catered were finished, so no wastage =)

Prior to that, I even went dress shopping with mum, and fell head over heels for a Cheong Sam. I’ve never worn a Cheong Sam for 18 years and decided to try on one. The fitting was great and the fabric is beautiful, so I decided to get it, while mum grabbed a whole lot of other cloths too. *evil wink*

Okay, too many words, care for some pictures? ^^

Caterer of the day, cooked the best food ever! From LeOriental, for anyone wanting to host an event, do consider hiring this. =)

Uncle Tomy and his band~

Even next door neighbour’s baby is really to party,lol~

A makeshift toilet sign~

Beers beers beers!!!

B, bartending, as the staffs were shorthanded

Party in full swing!

Cake time!! Two playful ‘kids’

Ever seen a whip-creamed 60-year-old? =)

Due to the long queue, some guest drew out his pen and draw this sad face, lol!!

Dad’s friend and the neighbour mingling at the karaoke session, damn funny when everyone is half drunk

Uncle Cheng, ‘dancing’ with dad… =)

Love love the reflection,haha

50 MORE BOTTLES OF WINE TO GO… ^^

Found this peachy-fresh singlet in downtown KL. Absolutely loving it!

Here’s for today, don’t think will have time this week to update…Assignments here I come!!!

With love,

A hyperventilated day…

2011-10-19T04:21:00.001-07:00

Today we’re having a site visit to Putrajaya in the morning at 9.30am, so we skipped studio class. After the visit, Lannie, Zin and I went to Serdang for some scrumptious Fish Head Noodle, before heading back to college. After that, I drove Big Bunny to Pyramid with Zin for some super Rayban shopping, and then headed back to college for Muay Thai class at 6pm. (Yes, I picked up Muay Thai with Avevy baby!!! Hahaha, no one messes with us now… ^^) And truth be told, having some intense workout does really help, a lot, with destressing and going perfectly hand-in-hand with my slim-down-tone-up-train-for-surfing plan… *happy dance* thank you Ave for dragging me into this…

Here are some snapshots along the way…Oh, why a hyperventilated day? You’ll know why by the end of this… scroll on… =)

Went to the Big Bad Wolf Bookfair on Sunday, all books are 70-90% off!!! OMG…I am so lucky we went there…None of the books I found is over RM20, and all of them were worth RM80-200+, if you buy them in normal price. It was heavenly for me… Muahaha~~

Books I bought but yet to have time to read… =[

Back to the topic, so here’s the Diamond Building in Putrajaya, a.k.a Bangunan Suruhanjaya Tenaga

The theatre

Well-lit lounge

We were actually site-visiting other uncles, taking their Master in Environmental Science from Open University…

On the roof, surrounded by photovoltaic panel, a.k.a. solar panel

Beautiful, isn’t it? and it looks freakishly alike with one of my fave building, the Guggenheim…

The ever helpful guide/ engineer of the building, Mr. Hanis

Some good old Fish Head Noodle from Serdang… Yumm~

If you ever wonder what goes down in a Muay Thai class, here’s to your answer. Faizul, the man holding the ‘pillow’-like brace, is leaving for Sarawak soon…He was so fun to be around, I’ll miss ~~punching~~ him… =[

The one sitting on the chair, is one of a Thai fighter from Boxx Club, he is very serious but funny at the same time…but you will never want to piss him off… ^^

Annabelle

Avevy baby

Some groupies =)

Faizul, Annabelle, Ave and me!

Here are the reason for this post - - by the time I finish Muay Thai class at 8, I went back home and suddenly realised something… I couldn’t get my butt of the couch, I was too exhausted… Like how Barney Stinson in “How I met your mother” series, where he finished runnign the NY marathon, he couldn’t move his feet in the subway, LOL! I never felt so tired before. I mustered all the energy left of me to take a quick bath and I just past out by the time my head hit the pillow. Haha. But like what Ave said, “I am starting to love working out, HARD!”

Hopefully by the time for Bali, I will be ready for surfing, bikini and beautiful beaches!!!

I can’t wait to find out how it feels to be standing on moving waters, caressing ocean’s heartbeat, drawing my line on the waves… =)

All the best, and cheers for better tomorrow. Stay tuned, I drop some hint on next topic, “How to Identify Authentic Rayban Aviator and where to get one”. =)

With love,

Re-discovering myself!

2011-10-12T07:49:00.001-07:00

After today’s class, I went out with mum for some light shopping, to help her get some sport pants. We ended up buying MY FIRST RAYBAN!!! Yeap, a Rayban! I wanted to pick up a new shade since mine was scratched from the Tioman trip, but never did it occur to me that I would be buying such a pricey piece.

We went around and I set my eyes on a pair of beautiful aviator, brown shade gold frame. I asked for the price and the salesgirl went to and the shop owner came out. He told me that piece is his personal collection, a 30-year-old vintage Diamond Rayban. Wanna know how much it cost? Well, someone offered the owner RM3000, but he wouldn’t budge. I was lucky I get to try it on and it was stunningly beautiful… =[ too bad, not for sell, not that I would buy it for RM3000+.

Anyway, after much walking around, I found one that is quite affordable and fairly priced. Grey shades silver framed, I liked it very much but was still reluctant to fork out RM700+ for a pair of shades. However, Rayban is having a nationwide promotion (yeap, you heard me right, a nationwide promotion, up to 50% discount, RUN!!! people, RUN!) So, I ended up buying it, my first Rayban! ^^ *happy dance*

Later, mum and I sat down for lunch and she told me all the funny things dad used to do back then and suddenly mum told me, my grandma is half Taiwanese! That makes mum 1/4 a Taiwanese and ultimately me 1/8 of a Taiwanese!!! o.O So, here you go people, you might want to talk with your parents and find out some seriously important but your parents’ might have forgotten to tell you…

So, the MIFF Ideation Award 2012, I got into the finalist, but is now waiting for my design to be paired up with a manufacturer before it can go into prototyping. *fingers crossed* I hope this time will be different~ I was pretty devastated knowing that my design didn’t get a manufacturer straightly on the night of the semi-final judging, but I found my cure for frustration~ BEER! So, after getting drunken, the next day seems easier to be tolerated, and now I know why people drink their way out of sadness. =] Now, hopefully someone will see the same potential that I see in the design~ I know that someone is out there!

This competition made me realise sometimes in life, the greatest thing in life never comes so easily, it made you wait and it breaks you up before it arrives on your door step. But I’ll wait~ ^^

And last but not least, millions of hugs and kisses go out to Wenzy baby for picking me up from the floor when I was so broken apart, your homemade CD made my day! And our little crappy apartment gave me something amazing to look forward to! ^^ hahaha!

Lace ankle boot! 5 inches+, quite comfy to wear, surprisingly… =]

The highest heels I have so far, very vintage-lookey, me like! Super cool looking, even vaguely like a Christian Louboutin lace boot… Haha, quite a steal if you ask.

Ready for some Rayban time? =)

I have a feeling this baby will be coming with me to Bali!

Finally some light-hearted moment after the few bad days I went through, I hope things will continue to be better, for everyone!

This is me, signing out! Stay tuned~

With love,

Mum’s handmade mooncakes~

2011-10-05T06:20:00.001-07:00

Although mid Autumn is two weeks ago, but mum still had some remaining ingredients, so she decided to bake another batch of mooncakes. I took some pictures of them, maybe it’d be a good idea to put them online for people looking for some off-season delicacies. By the way, not to brag, did I mention mum’s mooncakes are THE BEST I’ve ever had? ^^

“ Don’t ever think you can f*ing mess with me, don’t play the guilt game with me, I invented the game, freak !”

With love,

Thanks Avevy baby!

2011-10-04T05:45:00.001-07:00

Ave called me up right after seeing my last post, took me out today morning, just to hang out and check up on me, how sweet~ ^^ Thanks Avevy~

After dropping B at school in the morning, I met up with Ave in pyramid, help her with opening a bank account. After that, it was all the way ‘window shopping’. Yeap, it didn’t go as planned, we bought something… *wink wink*

Didn’t bring my cammie with me, but luckily my HTC Mozart is now equipped with Mango update, so the used-to-be sucky phone camera is now brilliant~ All thanks to my geeky B =)

My beautiful Avevy babe!

Wearing Ave’s heels~ not bad, my big foot can fit!

See the colorful girl in the background? That’s Ave and her favourite maxi dress~ We ended up buying almost all the cloths we tried on~ *evil laugh*

OMG!!! I am absolutely in loveeee with this sexy jumpsuit! It has a flowy lace over the much shorter bottom on the inside~

Here’s for today, and two hours later, went back to college to finish up my AutoCAD floor plan for my studio… So, here’s pretty much my today, tomorrow? Meeting up with Wenzy baby! Can’t wait~ ^^

With hope,

Un-happiness

Remember I once mentioned I would like to share my joy with you? Well, can I share my sadness with you too?

Lately things have been so distorted and tiring, I have no room to breath, stuck in the land of misery for as long as I have. So, I kept myself busy, doing designs and some senseless wandering.

So, not spreading too much negativity on my bread, how about you giving me some feedback on my furniture design? ^^

It is a dual-functional chair, for children at dining table and adults at bar table. Meaning it has two configurations, ergonomically suiting for two age groups.

For children:

For adult:

Four sided elevations:

Usage/ applications:

Big bunny always puts a smile on my face when I am sad… Haven’t been doing things that I enjoy the most – shopping, sewing, walking in night, running in the rain, singing in the shower ~~(out loud)~~, I MISS THEM!!!

Wenzy babe, take me away for a full-on karaoke/movie/fancy dining session!

Avevy babe, take me shopping and fill me with your ridiculous jokes!

Take me away, I’ll drive~~

With hope,

I can only type as fast as my heart allows me to~

My graduation is coming soon, how time flies really caught me off guard. I have been so focused on what I have in present that I almost forgot that I am planning for future too…There are so much to ponder and reflect, and I believed I‘ve decided on something…

The one single thing that I want really badly right now is - - to travel, to where my heart leads me…so idealistic, I know, but still, I will make it my life’s mission to make it happen! Just you wait! ^^

First stop, the BIG apple!! – New York!

Secondly, I-T-A-L-I-A !! I will learn how to scooter, and scoot around the beautiful ancient city…

Thirdly, Bora Bora & Hawaii! I want to leap off from my balcony into the beautiful turquoise sea water, swim with the dolphins and just feel time when it freezes…

Forth, the stunning Alaskan greenery and all its glory, the Aurora… Please just take my breath away!

Last but not least, Greece! The city of love and passion…

To get to these places, there are so much to do, and is it worth it? I would say yes, because I don’t know what else I can look forward to in life if I say no… So, yea,sure, life is full of shit sometimes, and it sucks, but it’s okay. So, for people in my way, be careful, I am going to roll you over with all my might!

Such a random post, but anyway~ ^^

With love,

Turtle on the loose!

2011-09-18T06:28:00.001-07:00

Turtle sets out for US for his 5-month long Work & Travel trip. So, I decided to drive him to the airport. He has always been a do-er, always a few steps ahead of me. Thank you, Turtle, for making me feel old!!!

Sherlyn & Turtle

This is turtle, after 10 cans of beer… LOL! Let the puke fest begins!

Burger & Turlte

The next day, Turtle is ready to go!

Angry bird fan!

B, a Burger King fan! The burger in KLIA is the best Burger King we’ve had! Wenz, we should really go there long ago!

A groupie before he checks in…

Have a safe trip, Turtle!

Life goes on without Turtle for 5 months, but it will be great, with my new Big White Bunny! =)

US, I will come soon!

With love,

A love story II

2011-09-18T05:43:00.001-07:00

This is a love story, 4 years in the making… (In case you are wondering where is the love story part 1, click here.

Coming back to this love story, it was about a girl, and her dream. There was once a young girl, she have always craved for freedom and having a beautiful car was her dream. She believed a car would take her places, and soon, she passed her driving test in one single try. However, life didn’t come easy for her. Her family couldn’t afford a car for her, nor can she, at her young age, afford a car by herself. She patiently, and gratefully waited. She hoped, soon enough, she will get what she wanted.

Time passed, and friends around her are getting cars, one by one. At one point, she cried in the night, thinking why life can be so unfair. But she waited still, knowing her time will come…until then, she was happy to roll around in her dad’s old ride.

Thus, eventually, on 13th September, she got what she wanted – a white and shiny armor~ It is a happy ending, the long was worth it afterall~ ^^

My white and shiny armor! He’s cute, sensitive, funny and has blue eyes!

His name is Insight, but we like the name Big White Bunny too~

He is so cute when he smiles… *melts*

Mum & Dad =)

I have this fragrant bag since I passed my driving test 4 years ago, hopeful I was getting a car soon… Now, although the scent has faded, but is now refreshed by my favourite fragrance – DKNY apple! ^^

So here’s the ending to this love story… Happily Ever After~

With love,

Mid-Autumn festival @ mi casa…

2011-09-18T04:41:00.001-07:00

This year’s mid autumn wasn’t too bad, I remembered at an early point of my life, where I still lived in my old neighbourhood, celebrating this mooncake festival all by myself. I was the only child, you see…and mum & dad had a big fight, and dad were out, while mum was asleep. Then, later, I remembered when I was older, there was one Autumn Festival, dad sat me down on the same spot that I sat when I celebrated this festival alone, told me that “It’s okay our family is having a tough time now, but dad will make it better”. I have faith in him, he always fixes things. =)

This year, all things have been better, our family, everyone is happy, even the many guests that dropped by were happy. Things have definitely turned out to be better, much better~ And I am grateful and as happiest as I can be. It’s funny how festive season makes you realise how much things have changed and humbles you. ^^

Anyhow, enough with the self-reflect, more to happy-smiley pictures. Here’s to great family, friends and to the GOOD life!

Catherine, the birthday girl on the same day…

My wish: Happinesss, Health & All things well

Zin

Shella

Dad, with the lamp

Up, up, and away!

The moon is beautiful, isn’t it? ^^

Catherine’s wish, not mine! *wink*

Neighbour’s family lighted the last lantern of the night~ =)

Cheers to happiness, health and well-being, and more to come! Stay tuned!

With love,

Goldcoast, here I come!!!

2011-09-14T09:23:00.001-07:00

Morib Goldcoast in Sepang, that is. It was not a there-for-fun trip, but a presentation trip for our Final Studio. Yeap, the whole class was there. It was very very nice, to have our presentation in a totally different place. Although we started our presentation from 9pm to 4am, it was still an awesome trip! Next time, I should really get Wenz & Ave along~ ^^

My first namecard! It looks like it’s gold-plated under the beautiful sunlight!

Off we go to Morib, it is only an hour long journey, without the jam.

Lost in the car queue, using THREE GPS to get there…lol!

Room sweet room! The room is really clean and bright, PLUS it has its own two-person jacuzzi! What a bargain!

Lannie, cleaning the tub first thing she goes into the room~

As if jacuzzi isn’t luxurious enough, Morib Goldcoast pampers its guest with rain shower!

View from our room~ Note: ask for even numbered room, as it faces the water theme park.

My studio work…

Cat & Hafiz…

Lannie & ZIn

One the restaurants there…Very lofty and cozy… I can imagine myself sipping a warm coffee while reading a book at night next time…

*click fro larger view*

Beautiful, isn’t it? The food isn’t expensive either, this is a very good spot for a short getaway…

Zaf has a thing for flies…

Let the 7-hours presentation begins!

I have to say, the design of the resort is exquisite, and I rarely uses this word…So many attentions to details, yet with a very affordable price, at such a short distance from the city. Bravo! A mus-visit spot for people who wants to just ‘disappear’ for a few days.

I would like to end this with this funky/ sweet carpet on the lobby, just to keep you guessing on how the whole resort is like, until you go there yourself. However, there is some construction going on, so there is some piling noise, but it is not a nuisance. I didn’t get a chance to go to the beach and the famous Sky Lounge, but will definitely go again in a near future.

Please do click here for details on rooms & location, I took the liberty to post the official site link, because most people had a hard time googling it.

Tata, for now.

With love,

ps: I got my Big White parked snuggly in my front porch now! I am such a happy lucky girl! *happy dance* Life is beautiful for now, and I hope I can share my joy with you guys too! Cheers

Private Island vacay, here I come! (Part 2)

Obama & Gordon

The newspaper game~ where people are gay-ing up on each other… LOL!

Joseph was creative enough to put on foot on one side

What would a lake vacation be complete without canoe-ing?

Me – chilling on the houseboat~

BIG FOOT!!!

Mum’s mooncakes causes chaos!

Balloons mania!!!

Do you see the contrast?

Caterpillar game! FUNNY!!! look at everyone’s expression *wink wink*

My top fave picture of the trip!

The last night on the island ended with tons of laughter~ ^^

Groupies!

Here’s the end of my trip~ Stay tuned for more updates. Maybe I’ll post more pictures taken from Jeff’s cammie later on.

Until then, have a great day, cheers!
