Kuala Kuala Lumpur

So here is that fashion haul that a couple of people gave the thumbs up to. But here are also some brief pictures of my trip that I snapped.

Modern Family. Heeeyyy

 Sunway Lagoon, look at them lips.

This vintage wall of an old chinese tea house now a restaurant really made subtle statement to me. 

And that was about it in terms of some pictures I really wanna show you. Now without further ado, here is that intro to the haul.

  People have already seen me in this little outfit. Blue velvet crop top from Forever21 and pale pink cat patterned skirt from H & M. I love both pieces, it easily can be a fit and flare outfit. They way the skirt swish around as I turn. Crop top however is my second favourite. My first fav will be seen later but this top was by far unique, it was velvet after all and that in itself has made itself. It wasn't going to sway like the usual crop top that were made with a much more lighter fabric and it wasn't hot to wear with our weather lately. The skirt itself was really quirky and frankly it fitted me the way I wanted it too.

Zooming in, this was statement necklace from Forever21, I'm trying to gather some worthy statement pieces jewellery that I can throw on as the only thing I need to wear to just give that right amount of pop. This necklace was not only on sales but was the right element for possible outfits

This isn't exactly attractive of a picture and from Uniqlo's terms, their known as legging though more like jeggings for me so I call them that. There snugly fit and this navy colour makes my legs much slimmer looking. I mean just to really justify these awesome pair, the minute I wore them in the fitting room, the first word that escaped my mouth was what beavers were making at rivers only with the letter "n" at the end. Thats how much I love them and you might see me sporting it a lot as it is super duper comfy.

I love love LOVE navy soft sweater jacket. I had two from 12 years old until now and this Mango branded one is my third. Its pricey albeit, the price was RM55 but OH you should wear it before you realize that the fact is the price is already 30% discounted. Its fitted and smooth against my skin, and if you aim for that all-together clean look, this is the item that can easily deduce that. I also like the little detail on the ribbon that aren't made of the usual silky feel but is instead velvet which is cute.

This was bought off from just a random shop. It was around RM30 if I'm not wrong. I really love this red "NERD" shop. Shirt with printed statements that are so rad really took its place in the street fashion world this year and continuing on to years later. Its pretty comfy and it almost give the school vibe which to be honest I kinda miss. Kinda.

Taking a closer look, here is a pearl ear cuff and earring set from F21. Something I really like when I spotted it at the F21 in 1Utama Mall. Though I would never recommend wearing the ear cuff long term, your ear lobe will turn red and you'll feel a kind of pinch. If it was just for anything that take 2-3 hours than these babes can edge out your look, especially with a deep side part hairstyle. They can portray any girl to be a hardcore punk with sense of class.

Now here is my first favourite. On my second trip in KL, I saw at least 2-3 girls, scratch that, working women who were sporting this skirt while shopping. I was so fiercely tempted to ask them where had they got there ideal tartan plaids. Was it from Zara? I checked out Topshop and despite them currently selling those skirts, I couldn't find them. I was suspicious whether they were hidden in secret racks that I may have missed. Finally I found one for myself. Its perfect, high-waisted, the ultimate basic to achieving a true punk rock grunge look. Its also my most expensive skirt by far and let just say the price was just below RM100 by only a extremely small gap. For a more girl school look as well as to retain heat for my -8 degree C holiday trip for next year, I got knee high socks from Uniqlo. They fit great and I got both the navy and grey as a set for about RM40. There real cuties are going to be an adventure to style with. Hehehe.

The last accessories I got from F21 is this blue crystal ribbon ring with the thinnest gold band to it that makes me treat it with a delicate care. Its not only girl but its tiny size add a good detail to my hands. However to be honest, I wear the silver oval-shaped turquoise ring (F21 too) the most. Its chunky which can even out textures when wearing a lot of rings on one hand but it works wonders alone too. I consider it to be a daily wear for me and I'm so used to it it doesn't bother me when I'm eating and fussing about with all the cutlery. Most likely of its gypsy and badass vibe that its become literally my favourite accessory. 

And thats about it folks. Hope you all enjoy my haul and really sorry if some of the pics are bad, I aim to deliver as best as I could. Bye chicas!

Promises

I'm been going through like different phases of the mind. I'm not sure is it because of my time in KL for the second time that made me think about loads of things, seriously I've feel like I'm stressing about nothing and yet about everything. Reading Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl made me see more desires and future aspiration again. Anne's spirit reminded of what I lost somewhere along the year. The drive to somehow change the world and make something of yourself that whatever it is you end up making, it lives on in others that even after you're no longer on earth, you made your print on others that you live on. That is the "immortality" we can achieve for ourselves. One of the most common, most likely even global, problem is we fear to be forgotten. Can any of you honestly tell me you remember who your great great great grandparent were? Nor those before them for that matter? What were they doing in order to get where your grandparents are now today? Most people can't answer that. The best we can do is make an imprint on the people currently around us but at best we linger in memories at a maximum of 2 generations. I really really want to perfect so many things, writing, literary, and etc. The world seems vast and no matter how harsh it may be, I refuse to be disheartened by it. I mean I had more spunk and fierce in my dreams when I was 12, I don't feel that fire lately. So 2014 and the years to come, I'm coming because I don't wanna just preach Nelson Mandel's (RIP sir cuz what you strive against discrimination and everything else is not only inspring but amazing) words but also practise it.

 With all the time I have, I also manage to catch up with old movies. From the year 2013 all the way to 1990's movies. Broadway films to action packed thriller and comedy romances. I'm on a roll but it also reminded on a lot of things. How we're all too young to be this cynical, to be a realist in the wrong direction of life, and we have the future ahead for us to design and create. I hope mine is big and bright but where would it stand to be those two characteristics I have yet to know or realize. I've been into fashion a lot. Reading articles and keeping up with a bunch of american magazines as well a bit of the european fashion talk. I'm trying to test what I like to wear and get the basics down. Coming up a new outfit as I go is not easy but its a good brain teaser considering the colour codes as well as proportions. Ah proportion...thighs...gahhhh. Its okay, I lost some of the extra weight and I'm just 1.6kg away so its alright. Yeah.

Anyway I got some great haul from my two trip to KL, whether I should blog about it, I'm not so sure. I've got some Forever21 and Uniqlo winter/fall duds. You guys interested? Comment peeps!

Updates

Yes, yes it's been awhile. And yes yes, where's my story? Huge writer's block, one that hasn't budge much. So whats been happening. Hanging out with friends. I watched Hunger Games twice believe it or not. I'm jogging, occasionally. Figuring out my next DIY, those interested in a previous one please check out my personal blog. I've just passed my theory driving test on my second try and thankfully not the mainstream three timer traditional way. 

I am really into my Forever21 velvet blue crop top , I just can't get over how comfy and simple yet such a statement piece it is as a good way to build up around a palette for an outfit. I am making a resolution to save up enough money to buy me a ticket to UK and ticket back home and currently my balance is RM300 so I still got ways to go but I think its a good start. I am co-planning a photoshoot where we dressed each model a different genre of fashion and my friend and I are psyche to style them up for it.

I plan to have lots of sunglasses by 30 years of age. I'm not a maniac but I just love roundish sometime catty style and shaped sunglasses and given KK is such a tropical place where the sun just never ceased to stop loving us, I can afford it. Please don't judge me.I am currently starting my read on "To Kill a Mockingbird" before making my way to "The Diary of Anne Frank." My Mom really really hates it when I'm being a total smartass about things because lets face it, I'm your typical "guy" who just loves to be damned sarcastic and I shamelessly find myself not tolerating it. It is however a huge work in progress.

I've just recently found Florence Welch's own personal instagram account and am not guilty that I am currently following her. I have this stupid self-embarrasing mechanism that decapitates the good citizens whom still upholds whatever is left of chivalry that still exists in our times which I am so very honestly sorry for. I've met this incredibly nice chinese lady who gave me her RM60 worth of vouchers which save a lot from my RM90 plus bill at Forever21 KL and that is really rare chance and of all girls, she bumped into me thank the Lord for His hand of destiny. I did however at first treated her like she may be a con artist because of a lot of stories you hear about KL. Sue me.

And before I end, I hope guys can still be a bit aware of my quickies. Its still here and I don't update it often enough but it does at times leaves a good exciting updates on the happenings of my life. Ciao cool cats!

Updates

Just came back from school and despite my bio exam tomorrow, I sit here idly, typing on my tablet while watching master chef as if I have the time of the world in my possession. I've been procrastinating as usual only I press the pedals of my brain when I do have a textbooks in my grasp. It just started raining and I feel myself transitioning into my more creative right side of my brain. Too not concede to worse temptations this past weeks (ex: like right now), I've tried to focus on playing around with taking photos, reading a couple of pages of any novels nearby where I study or just anything that doesn't involve the internet in general.

I obviously haven't got anything more of favourable substance for you to read but if you don't mind, I leave a poem to this post.

Cold hands, etched with warm veins
She desires the euphoria
to run through them and take reins
For silence again came to her
Its presence made noise
like band of horses made err
Sober still though
was the hero within
she managed to avoid make sin
Rain came and comfort her instead
and she was reminded of October
Thinking Victorians maybe true
As the heavens misses the living all over
And the falling drops were whispering to she
"My thoughts are with you"

Updates

Hey everyone, that is if there still is anyone. Than you guys are just loyal or is just really bored and I'm just a last resort for entertainment.

Quick update though, school play just finish and it ended up in succession that we never dreamed. I've made wonderful memories, gained lovely experiences and got slimmer. Mwahaha.

Now there is just finals and we shall achieve total freedom until "the year". Being the year where it shall be my last year of high school. A year mixed with decisions, restricted from my hobbies and usual procrastination, of finding comfort in sleep than anything else and constant cramming of books. I will truly sacrifice next year and I hope I stay dedicated to just doing that. Until then, I will snap themed shots, style the crap out of some clothing pieces to relish and to just own the lifestyle of fashion over practicality before I submit to a year of sweatpants and hoodies, increase my diy skills like the sims and just mainly be an adventure seeker when given the chance to whilst being inspired as an artist. I will all that while keeping in mind to develop a studious habit.

Its a countdown to the phase I must go through as a form5 and my time to rock and roll in whatever important aspects of my life before that is less than 3 months. Its not a lot, so you better start making do of things.

Standing on electrical wires

Pigeons are just such daredevils. They clutch their claws onto those electrical cords like its nothing but I always just thought that very action wasn't very wise. You think you'll find roasted birds down by the road underneath those things but you don't. Pigeons are legitimately hardcore, except when they fly away from you holding not even a crumb of bread to pay for they company. Their kinda bitchy that way but hey, aren't we all secretly at times?

So its 9 in the morning, I've just took my bath and did my usual face regime which includes pretty much cleansing, toning and a quick swab of SPF.  My mom just got back from her blood test and shes feeling tired so I let her. Despite my stomach growling, I have the highest tolerance for an empty stomach. My head is in a random pile of thoughts that needs to be type, regardless of coordination of the topics or  fact and even more so with what I have in mind. I need a brain wash.

This year have past like the episodes of a season and only the dramas and significant event comes to my mind but there are also the little things about the people around me and me around the people. When someone throws their head back to laugh, the stifling smiles and the roundabout choice of words aimed to make their intention semi-permeable to people they know.We're all just this one big pile of flaws, stitched together by good intentions.

I've draft this and is continuing to type it at 7.28pm now. Listening to my all time favourite Florence and the machines. I spent the day taking pictures of people from the car around the city, I had a few suspicious stares for my brazen act today. I've just text my co-photographer if she was ready for tomorrow's shoot but no reply which inclines me to be a tinsy bit anxious though she mostly like just don't have her phone right now. Strict Asian parents guys. And I also texted of our models if she officially had the full OK for the next day to which seem just a partial OK so far to my knowledge and she isn't answering. I'm hoping she gets my message and answer me stat for I fear that I'll have wronged my Mom in getting up early and picking her up from her house first before destination when it turns out she can't go at all. This does not only wasted gas, time, money and sleeping minutes but which decreases trust and no one can afford to lose trust with their parents, not me. Anxious anxious.

While out text snapping with my babe, I was also trying to find bubble liquid with the blower. I least wanted a bottle with a simple shaped blower but more ideally one with a heart shape. However Giant is the supermarket that sold ones with weird out shapes of blowers and barely enough bottle of bubble liquid. Why I remember finding these guys just anywhere in abundance at the most local shop for such a cheap cheap cheap price. I eventually found one that was the least normal of shapes which is these line of circles arranged from big to small of a blower that provided a good enough amount of liquid. Now I wanted two bottles for one for each of our two models but it cost RM8.90 per bottle which is absuuuurrrddd. Like really? REALLY? I would pay nearly RM18 for two so I immediately just bought one without a second thought. Sure they had the ones where you use a gun or blow in a horribly ugly pipe but it wasn't what I wanted for my pictures which what made finding old school bubble bottle so hard to find for me.

Well, I hope tomorrow will make it all worth it. I'll be smelling in the ocean. Hopefully we'll capture a lot of light and just expressions. And hopefully my effort in reading and a few days practising will be evidently good enough for myself. And that is for today, again wish me luck tomorrow.

Bring out the lenses

So here is that promised Monday post. I've just finished my last exam day and totally did not know that there was school tomorrow still which is unfortunate since I made plans but then again I might cancel since my Mom more keen on the fact I should go, though I'm convinced I'll be the only girl in my class if that were to happen.

So my friends and I are going somewhere with our plans on our photoshoot but still not enough is confirmed to officially send of the OK of this event.

Still my friend who is the other more awesome than I photographer/editor lend me an all-you-need-to-know-on-cameras book that I'm reading from to help be more reacquainted with my old baby as you can see from the photo above. I need to really be creative in order to do my 'Idle' themed series.

Wish me luck guys <3
