Its the year 2012

Its been exactly 10 months since i last blogged...(the last post was on the 5th of march 2011..what a coincidence!)

wow...time really flies. And here we are, in the year 2012. :)

Sorry (to myself mostly) and whoever out there who is actually still checking out this blog.LOL.. apologies for this long hiatus.

Recently the urge to pen down my thoughts in the form of blogging has been coming at me quite a lot.Its always good to read back on previous posts and take yourself down the trip to memory lane :)

So maybe...just MAYBE..i might start jotting down my thoughts here once in awhile. Or NOT! O.O Hahaha.

anyhow, its just for my own musings and recollection so yea... :)

It's the 5th day of year 2012 and i still have 5 more final exam papers to countdown to before i can officially declare 'HOLIDAYS!' ;)

Time truly flies, no? i still have only 2 more semesters before i graduate. Felt like it was just days ago when i first landed at Johor. That's 4 years of slogging for a piece of cert. haha.

DON'T QUIT

Sorry ive been away for soooo long...Rily salute people who blog consistently. It does take lotsa will power ya know? haha

Here's something to share..My mum gave me this card 5 yrs ago and im still keeping it. In it, there's words of treasures that will motivate and give u that much needed boost!

'When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

when the funds are low and the debts are high,

and you want to smile , but you have to sigh,

when care is pressing you down a bit.....

Rest if you must, but DON'T YOU QUIT!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

as every one of us sometimes learns,

and many a fellow turns about

when he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don;t give up though the pace seems slow....

you may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out...

the silver tint of the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are,

it may be near when it seems afar,

so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,

it's when things seem worst that you

MUSTN'T QUIT!

Guess all of us needs this kinda words of encouragement every once in awhile eh?

I'm actually not in the 'down' season of my life now..But i suppose this will help a few (or many) of you who are finding it hard to carry on.

Like the poem says, rest if you must, but NEVER EVER QUIT.:)

14th May @ the Cave

Went to the Cave again on the 14th this month.;)

Second time.
The first was on the 14th January this year.hehe.

14th.
A very special date for Josh and I. (=

In the afternoon, i went to KLCC cuz i had to do a COD (cash on delivery) with a Dr.Pizzicato's customer. Josh was supposed to go together with me but he had last minute college commitments so he couldn't make it. After the COD, i went walking around cuz it was a long time ago since i went to KLCC.
Its really a very cosy place to be in. Just like Pavilion.;)
Not too crowded and conjested...or smoke-filled like...Sg.Wang?

My feet started hurting due to the studded wedges..it was slicing the back of my feet.=(
With every step, it got worse.
Limping, i went to Guardian to get plasters.
Had to get it fast before the wound got deeper.

Felt much better after sticking them on! hehe
Then off i went to Topshop,GAP, Zara..where else? urh..i forgot.
Anyhoo, i ended up buying a really,really awesome pair of Baxter skinny jeans from Topshop. Oh, and a Petite range UK 4 white tank top. ;) and and...a black faux leather wallet for someone. ;p

Me just loveee how the skinny jeans hugs every curves to perfection.
I must say its even better than my Levi's Slim Fit. Although i do love my Levi's lots.
Hopefully, i'll be able to wear these for a long long time..=)
Jeans are always good&worthwhile investments. Cuz i don't think they'll be going in and out of season like most trends.
If you take good care of em jeans, you can even wear it up to 10 years or more.
And one will always be needing a good jeans for lazy casual days especially.haha.

Me heart skinnies! =D

Later on, Josh picked me up from Masjid Jamek station and we went on a mini road trip sort of thing...
Stopped by Tropicana City Mall
Nothing much there though.Prolly cuz they opened at a time when the economic meltdown hit?
But yay! We managed to get Subway sandwiches! wahaha

And the Sub of the day was our favs too--- Turkey ham &breast.
I'm totally addicted to Subway now!
And did i forget to mention, Krispy Kreme orginal glazed doughnuts?!!
arggh.
Why are there so many sweet temptations? =/
And they just have to get me hooked when im trying not to spend so much on things that will eventually go into the toilet bowl.

Second stop: Gelato Fruity ice cream kiosk

We had rum and raisins and After 8 chocolate mint flavoured ice creams!
wa wa wa..really bloated already larh....
Why so many yummy food one?
Gotta resist temptations!
Failed miserably.
Was too bloated to walk normally...so we took a slow stroll to the carpark...HAHA

And finally, we arrived at the Cave around 7++ pm. =)

Tadah!
oops.
Didnt take any pics of the Cave cuz i already took loadsss the previous time.

Random shot.
What are you doing hiding there??

Josh browsing thru the menu.
Must be thinking '' Crap.This is burning a hole in my wallet.Again.''
XD
After the Cave did some mini renovations, the prices of their food really hiked up quite a bit.

Happy people. =DDD

Happy happy. haha.

My gift for that someone.

Sidetrack a little...
My hair has regrowths.Pretty fast..hmm..
Can you see the 2 inch long regrowths at my scalp?
Not really visible in reality though.
All thanks to the rather natural-looking dye i had.
Blends well with the regrowths. ;)

*Look of the day*
Denim Jumpsuit from Pumpkin.
Vintage Vamp in orangey Tan from Dr.Pizzicato.
Multistudded chestnut wedges (which you can't see) from Go Jane.
White top from Roxy in Bali.
Beaded bracelets from Forever 21.
Meow meow chain necklace from my beloved mummy! haha

That's all folks..=D
Will update about my secret getaway to a hill up north,soon.
A lil break to well, breakaway from the heat spells in KL.
;)

Shoe Frenzy.. and other minute rants

I'm actually very much in love with em Go Jane shoes now.
They're just so so tempting!
Well, im not exactly shopping, cuz i dun actually walk around malls to shop.
Haven't really got time for those since im quite caught up with my day job and online boutique.
This is my last month teaching tuition too,by the way.=P

With just the click of a mouse, i get to place my order and then wait for those gorgeous heels to arrive at my doorstep.
Takes about 3 weeks for these shoes to be shipped from the States.
Since these are imported from the States, the price is also pretty hefty.*really burning a hole in my pocket.gargh*
But when you slip on these heels, you can't help but feel its all worth the dwindling bank account and the long wait.
HAHA.
But honestly, they are real comfy!!
My first batch of orders includes this:

Phyton Wedge.
Ah, wedges!
the kind of shoes that marries comfort and style! =)
me like.

and

Carrie Bradshaw heels, as seen in Sex in the City.
Haven't got an exact pic..hmm.
But it looks exactly like this:
Except that its tan colour blocks and is made of velvet! =D

Wore my 5'' Bradshaw heels to church today.
Some of you may have noticed it.=P

And my latest splurge includes these two one-of-a-kind heels:

Again, wedges!
They're actually the only kind of shoes i can wear for hours,including a trip to the mall,without hurting my soles.=)))
Now you know why i lovee em?
This Chesnut Studded wedges has such a rock and roll vibe to it.
I'm really so into the rock chic look nowadays.
Don a biker jacket and floral dress to get that very 'London' look.
And oxford booties too, if you'd like.=)

See the carved heels!
*yummm*
They're what i call Architectural heels.
I had a tough time deciding what colour to get, cuz there was lavender, black, yellow,etc.
But i finally decided to get this in turquoise cuz its just such an exlcusive shade!
And of course,its pretty easy to match this with my clothes.hehe.

Hopefully these heels are meant for walking~

Just had my first ever Dr.Pizzicato (that's my e-boutique, for those of you who don't know yet) bazaar at SoHo KL, Solaris Mont Kiara last Saturday.=)
Here's how my humble booth looked like:


Each vendors are given a 6 feetx6 feet selling space.
Not very spacious actually.
The distance between vendors is only about 1 feet.

Twas really really hot. Only air coolers provided with the sun basking in its glory.As if trying to squeeze the very sweat out of us.
But i couldn't complain, could i?
afterall, i was the one who was so gung-ho about this whole bazaar idea.haha.

And the whole family troop had to tag along to show their moral support for me.=D
Thanks so very much mum, dad and sis. *And bro, even though you were busy marching at your NS camp in Melaka. Missing you!*
And of course, not forgetting dear Josh who stayed with me from 10am to close to 10pm.
Which is a long stretch of 12 hours.
And who bought me sandwiches and red dates can drinks from Cold Storage when i was almost fainting from excessive heat.
Thanks so much for your sacrifice dearie.=)

And its no wonder i got such a dark tan!
Imagine having the sun shining directly at you for at least 6 hours. =/

Anyway, i would still say it was a great experience!
Manage to sell quite a number items eventhough not as much as i would have liked.hehe.
And to be honest, the crowd wasn't even close to 7000, as promised.
But still, i should pat myself on the back for managing it thus far, don't ya think? =)
And also, i couldn't have done it with the Lord favour and the support of my loved ones.


On a separate note, here's a few of my latest collections from Dr.Pizzicato:

A Grecian Goddess dress.
Available in Creamy Beige, Black, Innocent white and Nude Grey.
I totally heart the amazing chiffon material and those detailed ruchings!
Makes it look very ethereal.
And who doesn't like dual toned pieces with a tulip cut skirt,aye?
It's simply too good to resist.
*and the photo fails to demonstrate how awesome it actually is in reality!*


A kerchief maxi dress.=)
Love the floral burst and array of colours.
Happy happy happy.=D
And its downright affordable okaaay..
only RM 49.
*Normally maxis retails at at least RM 55-60*

Haha this is quite a massive update, with over 10 or more items updated at once!
Ranging from high waisted denims, zippy dresses, ruffles, polkas, vintage bags and Chanel-inspired ones.
Eveything which is so in this very moment.;)

Be sure to check it out at Dr.Pizzicato, and if you see anything you like, just beep me alritey.=)
Online shopping is easier than you think.
No fuss, no muss.
Click away already! ahaha


Cheersssss.

Updates

-Will be rather busy in the coming weeks as I'll be travelling to various places.Namely, Bangkok and Langkawi and around town.Can't wait to shop at Chatuchak!

-Been going out alot eversince my exams ended. tee hee.Making up for the "lost" times.Wanna meet up with my friends but at the moment, my schedule is really packed.

-Helped out at the S.A.F.E community booth on Friday at 1U by creating awareness about this ministry which helps women who were previously drug dependent,sex workers,etc to get back on their feet.The jewelries we sold are all handmade by them(not to mention, they are all made of genuine swarovski crystals and are really pretty!) and the proceeds will go back to them as a means of income for them to rebuild their lives. =)
Do support this community work by clicking here. A simple gesture goes a long way! (And trust me, the products looks way nicer in reality compared to the pics.^^)

-Time to pack my STPM books (which is really taking up alot of storage) and pass it to my junior.=)

-Christmas Caroling practise is really getting better each time. Really looking forward in doing my part to reach out and be a blessing to others this Christmas. =D

-I desire to grow closer with God starting today.Especially since I'm pretty free in a sense. No homework or tuitions,etc.So there's no excuse for me not to spend more time reading the Word and praying diligently everyday, no? I can't afford to miss out on my daily bread anymore.

-One thing I've discovered in the past week:

Friends,even the closest ones,will go through tests at some point of their friendship.
But perseverance is the key here and we should always learn to see things from another person's perspective and work things out thru prayer and understanding between both parties.
No matter what, true friendship lasts despite the adversities faced.That's what I'm positive about.=)

Cheers and have a great week~

What's interesting about her:

She's a really lovely girl. Has a gentle and quiet spirit. And the thing about her is, she's simply lovable.(I dun even think she has any enemies unless ppl are jealous of her.lol.)

Later, i found it on the library desk.Somehow it miraculously reappeared. So i guess that makes him interesting cuz now i remember him clearly due to that incident...=D ( I know u didn't take it, sorry for the confusion also. Haha)
