Gotta Catch Up!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the really long hiatus. Got caught up with school work again. Busy, busy, busy. Plus, my camera's busted so I pretty much have to rely on friends to take my picture for me. Right now, I'm waiting for my dad to get me this baby...

A Sony NEX-3!

Since I don't like the idea of carrying a bulky Canon EOS or bother with manual settings on a Nikon, Sony NEX is perfect for me. (I'm just so lazy!) Maybe next time I'll get those professional cameras. For now, this will do.

About two weeks ago, my friend Syaza of Bloobs. Blurbs. from Miri came over to Kuching! I'm so glad she came to visit! Cos I miss her LOTS! She is another fashionista friend of mine. I have to say she is really good at make up eversince she moved back to Miri. We had a really good time catching up. Here's some pictures to share...


The guy in the picture is my coursemate/friend/2nd or 3rd cousin, Gio. Haha! You should drop by his blog! I guarantee you, it will never be a dull moment.

I fell in love with that hat in the last picture that I wanted to just walk out of the shop with it. Haha! I just can't afford Roxy but I bet I can find something similar to this hat somewhere in the streets for a fraction of the price.

Pretty Eyes

Hello everyone! Sorry for the sudden hiatus. Classes started on the 21st of February and life has been a roller coaster ever since! Not that I've been busy studying, but I've been busy hanging out too much! First day of class was definitely crazy but for now, I don't have much time to elaborate on it as the semester has shortened from 14 weeks to 12 weeks. So tests and stuff are coming in a week or so.

I have good news! My camera is broken! I'm happy cos I can get a new camera though I have to wait. I'm just very unhappy with the Nikon S220. Even my ancient IXUS 100 is wayyy better than that piece of crap. Also, during the weekend, I had my haircut. Nothing different just my usual wash and cut. The only thing that's different is that the guy styled my hair differently. I thought he was gona make it super curly but he blow it straight and gave me loose curls! I was devastated! It just made me look like my sister! It's nice but I wasn't gaga over it. Kinda makes me look older and serious.

Tada!


That's all for today so I'm gona leave you with this pretty picture I took of myself (now that came off as vain....).

pretty eyes staring back at me so brown and wide
the colors of the summer sky
the colors of the world
if love is blind, why do i see you so clearly now?
perfect vision of our love somehow
you take over my mind oh,
look up into the galaxy tonight
the stars illuminate the love we make

cause you and your pretty eyes
you keep me alive, keep me alive

pretty eyes you're the one that keeps up all night
i know, no one else could make me feel this way
i want to look up into the milky way tonight
the sky illuminates the love we make
the love we make so bright

cause you and your pretty eyes
you keep me alive, keep me alive

as the moon shines its light on you
your pretty eyes they glow
tell me that you'll stay the night
just stay a while

Pretty Eyes by Alex Goot. You really should check it out!

oh, the fifties....

What I'm wearing:

Polka dot scarf - Vincci accessories; Tank top - F21; Heart necklace - Vincci accessories; High waisted skirt - Zigzag boutique; Boots - Fashion Girl boutique.

I definitely love vintage stuff if you haven't already know. Hahaha. This outfit here definitely channel some 50s vibe. It's also relevant to the weather here.

Also, I took this picture using the panorama function on my Sony Ericsson K770i Cybershot series phone. I like it!

Black + White

I felt a sudden burst of creativity last night and had great ideas of what to do today. I got this very lovely white dress with black lace back it 2006 from a boutique called "blook" at Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.

It's been a while since I attempted to take my own pictures. The last time I tried was back in 2007 and then my passion for photography just died. Sad right? It just...died. And now it's back. After like, 4 years?? Kinda long for inspiration to come back. Turned out pretty good and I'm pleased with it.

So today's Thursday and tomorrow's Friday and then the weekends and then hello classes! Oh, how time flies! I'm not looking forward to it and at the same time, I do. Not looking forward to it because it's gona be yet another crazy life ahead of me (not to mention waking up early!). Excited cos finally I have something different to do and have a reason to dress up rather than wearing some baggy old t-shirt and boxer shorts everyday.

If you like this look, please help me 'hype' my look on the link below. Thanks!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Fireworks and Romance

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Gong Xi Fa Cai! It's the year of the Rabbit! May this year be fruitful and may you multiply in wealth and health!

Last week, on the 3rd day of CNY, my family and I went for breakfast in town. This man smoking with a pipe really caught my eye that I had to take a picture of him. The pipe was interesting as I have never seen a man smoke using a pipe!

Apart from Chinese New Year being the highlight this month, there's also Valentine's Day. So I decided to come up with an outfit to fit this occasion. I went through my closet and found an old dress my cousin gave me. I didn't like it because it was pink. I hated pink last time but now, I just enjoy it as another beautiful colour. And since pink is such a romantic colour, I had to use this dress. It's also really pretty!

For my hair, I'd like to accessorize it with this beautiful garland by sereni&shentel. It's such a beautiful head piece that goes so well with this outfit! I wish I could afford it though.

Here is the dress that I kept. The flowers just look so dainty and romantic.

And finally, strappy off white sandals from Nose to finish off the look.

Let's go indie

Bowler hat. Random indie people. Foals' album cover.Vespa. Photo of indie style photographer, Jonathan Leder.

I am currently inspired by this song called Spanish Sahara by a band called Foals. I totally love the vibe in the music. So today's inspiration would be indie music. Or is it indie? Anyway, I like songs that have some Coldplay vibe in it. I guess I have a fetish for British bands. I would definitely want to dress indie more often. And I do dig guys with messy hair, dreamy eyes, checkered shirt and is in a band. Haha!

So this is the song that inspired me. Enjoy!
