I regret, but I'm better than that.

Some best things happens in your life are mistakes, have you thought of it? 

Everyone made mistakes, made the wrong choices, and feel regretful about it but whining about how wrong you were won't bring you any further but forgiving and accepting does.Sometimes I don't understand why some people can blame themselves so much when they can actually do better by stop wasting time on the mistake they have done.  

If you are in a situation where you think your world is doomed cuz you made a wrong choice, I wanna give you a word, Congratulations; cuz you know what you did wrong. Realizing your mistakes is one of the hardest thing that some people couldn't do, some people don't even know what are they doing/thinking. But taking the next step is up to you. 

Three options : to whine about it, to continue doing wrong or you can make a change. 

Option 1 & 2 is basically a waste of time so in the end, you need to make a change. "Thinking" about making a change does not do the magic, but taking "actions" do.
Yes, it is really hard to do something you've never done, the fear you have, the doubts, but your imaginations are just killing you from being someone better, you have no idea what you can do until you push your limits. Little by little, you'll become a better person.

When you ask me do I regret anything about my life now? Yes, and the only regrets I have was not taking chances when I could. This thought me to seize as much opportunities as I can even I'm not sure I if can do it. I could succeed or I could fail, but I will never know if I just sit there and think about it. Opportunity don't wait so you shouldn't waste your time too. 

The only failures are people who don't realize their mistakes, so what are you thinking?

Life robbers.

This post is sort of inspired by one of my fav song by The 1975 -- "Robbers". I'm not sure if the song is really what I had in mind, but for me, I think this song is about people nowadays are like robbers. No, not robbing someone's goods or money but life. 

When I was young, my mom used to advice me not to get into a relationship in such young age. I never really take it as a big deal until I broke up and stayed single until now (tho I'm seeing someone). This is not a post about How Single People Rocks but it's more like a wake up call to couples nowadays, at least what I think now. (I'm ain't no Love Guru, I could be right or wrong)

1. Are you robbing your partner's life?
The one who robs is mostly the insecure one. They don't understand why sometimes their bf/gf need some me-time. They don't understand why are they not in the picture. This happens when overly attached couples suddenly wants to go out alone. I know it's sweet to have your bf/gf around you everytime but honestly, don't you think it's normal to have your own friends, your own life? Couples neglect this a lot. Never, never, forget about your self-own life.

2. Never hold someone back.
If you're dating someone who does not give encouragement but only hold you back, you should really leave him/her. We need someone who give us supports, give us encouragements but not those who tell you words that bring you down or pluck on your flaws. We struggle to kill those negativity in our mind, we do not need more.

3. Don't forget about yourself. 
Yes, it's really sweet to think about your partner but some people lose a lot of opportunities cuz they think their partner doesn't like it. Yes, like I said, the insecure ones are mostly afraid that their partner will become greater and then leave them. This is legit case happening in some relationship and also, the biggest bullshit I ever heard. I believe if you love someone, you want him to be greater and if he loves you, he will never leave. Don't stop someone from chasing their dreams and don't stop chasing your dreams for someone.

4. Don't give promises easily / Don't believe in promises. 
Sometimes when people try to comfort someone, people tend to give empty promises. Some people say things they can't do but just to let you feel better for awhile. Always have this mindset that never believe in promises easily cuz they are just words. Take in real actions, not words.

 5. Happiness is always on your hands, not him/her. 
Always be happy for yourself not because someone makes you happy. Of course you want to be with someone who makes you happy but do not forget about building your own happiness ie, achieving your dreams. You can't expect someone to give you happiness forever, they give in, they can take it away but always have in mind that nobody can take away what you build, your own happiness :)


 Lastly, ending this with "Robbers" - The !975


My Everyday Makeup.

My everyday make up is actually pretty simple, very light and natural. I don't like applying a lotsa stuff on my face (tho it's already a lot of stuff there) and I always think that I wanna least diff after I remove my make up lololl. Well, this is not a very proper make up tutorial but this is really how I do my make up everyday.

To be honest, I was planning to dub on my make up tutorial videos but I think my voice sorta ruined it so lets stick it the way like this lolll. Hopefully you get what I'm doing and I'll try my best to improve my video filming & editing skills. Hehe! More videos to come soon!

My contact lenses.

One thing I can't live without is my contact lenses. I've been wearing them since 13 and its already been 9 years (still counting). In these 9 years, I've tried various brands of contact lens, from the ones sold in optical shops and the ones from the internet. I sort of ditched the ones from optical shops cuz I think the one sold on internet has more choices but now, I don't wear those sold online or outside optical shops anymore cuz I think that those unauthorized ones are actually very dangerous. What if one day something happen to my eye and the online shop went dissapear. I know I sound a little contradicting cuz I once model for some online contact lens shop few years back, luckily there was no problem with the lenses but still, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Anyway, there's a lot people asking me what brand I'm using now on my instagram. The past month I was introduced with a new color lens series, Lacelle by Bausch + Lomb. Yes, Bausch + Lomb is famous for their super breathable lenses so I'm really glad they have this series launched!


Lacelle comes in two series : 
Limbal series, comes in modest black and tender brown.
Color series, available in jubilee violet, sparkling brown and frozen grey.

My favourtie ones goes to Tender Brown and Sparkling Brown.
Tender brown that I wear it daily, very natural. Looks good with light make up too!

Sparkling brown! I think with this lens you can actually ditch the make up part lol. It's really beautiful!

Also tried on Jubilee Voilet, suitable for special occasions and parties.

All Lacelle lens are made with unique lace pattern enhance your eyes beautifully, with comfort. I love how they mataches my everyday look as I want my eyes to look fashionable as what I wore too, heh.

I've been so busy these days, I can't believe it's already the 3rd week of October! I thought I just celebrated my birthday but it was already a month ago :( Anyway, my October is been great, been cooking with something big and hopefully I can get to announce this secret project before 2014 ends.

Anyway, here's some pictures taken in this October! Just to keep you all updated (or outdated cuz you prolly know what I did through my instagram.)
 
Had a gig in Barsonic with Xuu on the first Saturday of October, playing music I love! Some indie dance, a little bit of house, something different from what I usually play in clubs. I usually play edm for clubs as the music I like bores clubbers :( Which also explains why I love fashion event gigs, cuz I get to play what I like. heh. 


 Look who gets all the girls (Watashi).

 Blink & I. Btw, it was a rainy Saturday and I finally get to wear my Supreme sweater.

Last Weds was Daphne's singing gig in The Point @ Jalan Kasar. For those who don't know, The Point is one of my fav restaurant. If you ever go there, please order these :

 Beef Tataki. I used to hate uncook stuff, but this, this changes my perception. 

 Mentaiko lovers must have this, the best Mentaiko Pasta with Crispy Skin Salmon and black carviar. SO F*CKING GOOD I HAVE TO SWEAR.

 Who gets drunk on a Wednesday night?Watashi. Not really drunk but I think I will stick to my "only drinking on weekends" rule.

 Meet the lady boss in the middle, Valerie Ong, someone I really look up to.



 Oh! It was M Pavilion store launch that day too! Now you can get awesome brands like Opening Ceremony, Helmut Lang, Farah Khan.. etc.

Speaking about Fashion events, I was invited for Salvatore Ferragamo's Vara & Varina Made-to-Order event @ KLCC. I know right! Lucky me! Big thanks to Salvatore Ferragamo for dressing me up that night and MM production (@mmproduction_official) for the hair and make up.
I love how they have this Made-To-Order idea as we can now customize our own Vara/Varina shoes, in our fav color way. I am so gonna customize a black/white colorway, hehe. More info here.

Okay, I shall sleep now.

Sony Xperia Z3.

It's been a while since I’ve had a hands-on experience with a new gadget! I'm really excited for this one as it has been on my wishlist for some time - the Sony Xperia Z3. I found out about the Sony Xperia Z series smartphones from my fav instagrammer/social media/makeup artist from Thailand, Pearypie. She has many cool stuff and I think she did a pretty great job introducing the Sony Xperia Z series.

credits to @pearypie


Yes, the Sony Xperia Z3 is famous for its waterproof and camera functions. If I could keep the phone, I would really want to do an underwater photoshoot with it :( It's so so so cool! If I'm not wrong, many celebrities have done underwater photoshoots with this phone. How amazing is that? Apple, y u no do waterproof phone?!?!


The Sony Xperia Z3 features a super clear HD camera with 20.7 megapixels. I don't know how any other phone will be able to beat Sony? Sony always produces the best cameras (cuz I own a few Sony cameras lol)


The Sony Xperia Z3 is actually well known for its super long lasting battery life. Powered by a non-removable Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery, featuring up to 740hr (3G standby mode) and 16hr (3G talk time).


Btw, the Sony Z series family now includes the Sony Xperia Z3 and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact just like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. No offence, I personally love the design of the Sony Xperia Z3 compared to the iPhone 6 :/ Anyway, I would say that this Sony Xperia Z3 completely beats the iPhone 6 because of functions like the waterproof smartphone, great camera features and long-life battery. So much wins. For more info about the Sony Xperia Z3, please visit:

Sometimes, some things are too good to be true. I can't believe that I actually made it to Shanghai for ALEXANDER WANG X H&M launch party, like I just can't believe that it actually happened. #luckygirlislucky 

I decided to do a little travel video for my Shanghai trip and yes, including 2NE1 speical performances. Honestly I have no idea 2NE1 was part of it until that evening itself. I think I died a few times in this trip. I'm still editing the pictures taken during the trip, meanwhile, please enjoy my Shanghai travel video :

I miss Shanghai. I realized that I have a thing for night scenery, especially city nights, where the city lights are on. I don't remember how beautiful Shanghai was back then when I first visited, prolly 10 years ago, and I'm so so so glad that I get to travel to Shanghai again.

I bet you guys already watched the Travel vlog I posted days ago (I don't know how to balance my time for recording and taking pictures but I tried my best), so here's some pictures taken during my Shanghai trip :


The first night in Shanghai, we had dinner at one of the Best French Cuisine in Shanghai,Mr & Mrs Bund. All thanks to Rachel from H&M for arranging this dinner, the restaurant place is so beautiful, facing the bund.

Tomato Salad. 

Beef Carpaccio Venise.

Duck Confit with Foie Gras & Ceps is the bomb.

Strawberry Triffle.
 Okay I looks like a fish bowl but it's actually very pretty in real! Just not photogenic enough lol.


Second day was all about Alexander Wang!
On our way to Hotel Penisula, the buildings around the bund are so beautiful. 

We (with medias from HK & Philippines ) had a 15 minutes talk with Alexander Wang about the collection. I'm so glad to meet him in person and I am totally amazed by his energetic character. 
If you want to read about the interview, click here

 On the same day, we had Yun Nan food for Lunch @ Lost Heaven. So much yummy in my tummy!

Finally, the night has come, came all the way from KL to Shanghai just for this one special night, for Alexander Wang X H&M party in Shanghai. Also heard this is the first time H&M celebrates their collaborations in Asia. I am more then glad to attend this event. AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW 2NE1 WAS GOING TO APPEAR until I saw my followers comments on my instagram. #successbaby.jpg

but first, let me take a selfie... (okay this song ada outdated.)

Oh! Random one. We had king crab before the event. So we literally smelled like crab after that lolollll. (inside joke)


Hat : H&M  
Leather Jacket : Zara
Dress : Joe Chia for Her
Shoes : Lonely Dream
Bag : Proenza Schouler PS11

I think I was busy taking videos, I did not have much pictures for the party...

Lucky us! We get to buy the collection at the pop up store they have, but only 5 pieces each :( Actually fair enough lah, people in KL started to queue 2 days before (and I know who started it HAHAHAHAHA)

Okay, I don't know how my hairband looks like, but there's people who thought I was wearing hijab. I am not pissed that they thought I was wearing hijab but I am pissed that why are these people being so stereotype about hijabs. Please put some respect.

Okay, end it with a selfie. heh. Good night!

MY EVERYDAY SKINCARE ROUTINE

$
0
0
I've been blogging a lot about skin care these past few years and I always believe that keeping good skin is more important than putting on make up. I am the kind of person who will invest in skin care products, even my cosmetics are skin-care based. 

Anyway, a lot of people have been asking about my skin care routine on my previous make up tutorial so I decided to do a really quick one.

To be honest, my skin care routine is really really simple, the only fancy thing is this cleansing brush from Clinique. The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush is gentle yet reacts greatly to the skin. It doesn’t cause wrinkles and my skin feels smooth to the touch after every usage. You can watch my vlog below to see how gentle it is.



I didn't know about the rave surrounding this cleansing brush until I got my hands on it. This really made me feel like I've wasted my life hand washing for nothing. I mean hand washing is more like cleansing the surface but there are areas on our face that our hands couldn't reach. This Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush does the magic. I can see my skin literally glows and brightens almost immediately after I have washed my face with the cleansing brush. I'm not exaggerating but I'm really amazed by how it works!


I noticed one of the biggest difference after using this brush is that I have reduced the need for painful extraction because my face is cleansed thoroughly. It is recommended that you start off with just 30 seconds once a day and then prepare your skin to be able to use the product twice a day - like how I am using it.

Sleek design, just fits perfectly on the palms. 

Comes with a cap to cover the brush.


The Cleansing Brush comes in two different bristles


I really love that this cleansing brush has two coloured bristles which target different areas of the face. The white bristles are effective in helping me cleanse my cheeks area. It’s gentle and perfect for sweeping away dulling flakes on my skin. This is as thorough as it gets!

The green bristles on the other hand is angled to specifically target hard-to-reach areas like the inner corners of my nose which can be quite difficult to cleanse thoroughly with my bare hands. But with the help of the green bristles, I’m able to cleanse all these nooks and crannies of my face effectively.

One charge can lasts up to 72hours!

If in your normal skin care routine you didn't do your cleansing right, you're actually wasting your other skincare products. When your face is thoroughly cleansed, it can then absorb the rest of the skin care products better. I’ve also noticed there are fewer residues after washing my face, especially when I try wiping off dirt with my toner after cleansing.

Left: Cleansing my face without the Cleansing Brush. Right: Cleansing with the Clinique Sonic Brush. Dirt residues are less noticeable after face cleansing.

Btw, you don't even need to scrub weekly with this gentle daily exfoliation. Saves you all the time and hassle!

Frankly, it's a really great product & worth investing in as it comes with a 2 years limited warranty. The unit consists of the Cleansing Brush retailing at RM350 (USB variant) while the brush head is at RM93 per unit.

I'm definitely gonna buy it for my mom as an early Xmas pressie. Afterall, great things are meant to be shared, right?



That being said, I’ll be having a Meet and Greet session in collaboration with Clinique on 13thDec 2014 and only 5 lucky winners along with a friend will be chosen to attend and win exclusive Clinique door gifts. Just answer this question: The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush comes with two coloured bristles, namely….

Libresse been a good friend of mine since years, can't even remember when was the first time I blogged about it. Oh time flies so fast, I think they became a part of my life, just like I'm growing up with them. Or maybe they are growing with me too! Just last month, they introduced two new products - Libresse® Maxi Night Secure and Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner, perfectly carter to different woman needs.

As you know, leakage is one of the biggest problems most girls have (almost 1 out of 5 girls face leakage problems!). Libresse improved the body contour design for all range of products to enhance the absorption, by introducing the newly improved Deep Flow Channels (DFC)™, which incorporates a more compressed area at the back to keep fluid away from the skin for better dryness and new wider core for greater absorption. Unique and innovative, the enhanced features prevent side leakages and promise the most comfortable fit from day to night!

Libresse® Maxi Night Secure 
Studies have shown that 50% of the night sanitary pads users experienced leakage from the back of pads (Source: Innoscreen Ipsos 2013). The Libresse® Maxi Night Secure was invented to solve this problem by providing ultimate comfort with a new wider back for additional security, all night long! Available in both Unscented and Odor Control with Green Tea range 


Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner
Designed to follow the natural shape and curves of a woman’s body. Its soft and pliable middle, wider front as well as a longer 17.5cm length helps keep you comfortable all day with the right fit that stays in place every time.

Libresse® products are designed anatomically to fit the body with its patented technology and trademarked design – Secure Fit™ and the newly improved Deep Flow Channels (DFC)™. Both features work hand-in-hand to achieve Libresse’s concept of ‘Absorption is Nothing Without Fit’. A registered trademark of SCA Hygiene, Secure Fit™ features a wider front to keep pads securely in place, a narrow neck and a split design at the rear to fit the delicate contours of your body. Not forgetting, Libresse® sanitary pads are easy to wash before disposal.

In conjunction with the release of Libresse® Maxi Night Secure and Libresse® Longer and Wider CurveFitTM Liner, LIBRESSE® THE HUNT were organised and the event kick-started on 7 October 2014 with a series of teaser and clues which were release via www.thehunt.my for the curious public to find a missing briefcase.

The campaign ran for three consecutive weeks with different clues provided each week, which eventually lead the public in finding the answers of the content of the briefcase. The campaign reached its peak on 28th October 2014, when the online winners of LIBRESSE® THE HUNT were invited to spent the afternoon with Adibah Noor and Fahrin Ahmad:


The Top 8 Secret Agent!

The afternoon was also filled with interesting activities and fun games, hosted by the two awesome celebrity. The media were also invited to witness the unveiling of the new improved and enhanced product.





I'm really glad that Libresse is always improving and being innovative to consumers, which is why I am always with them. The new products are available at most hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenient stores, pharmacies, mini markets and provision shops throughout Malaysia.

Libresse® Unscented range are retailed from RM2.95 to RM14.90 whilst the Odor Control with Green Tea range between RM3.30 to RM15.90.

Why you should study abroad.

$

"You thought you've seen the world, until you came off the roof." Not sure whether you understand this, mainly it means that this world is so big, there's many things to be discovered, to be inspired. Which explains why I love travelling, I love getting inspired with people and their lifestyles.

I love talking to friends who graduated abroad and came back with great stories. It is true that people who studied abroad always come back will different mindset, and mostly, they're so inspired by the cultures and lifestyle they had in that specific countries. 

As you grow up, you tend to realise things, want matters and what not. Let me tell you something, something I think that people, especially kids who just grown into adults have to learn, is that we only had a chance to live this life and what matters most isn't how to "survive" through this life but the memories you create. Like my lucky friends who get to study aboard, they had so much great memories, it makes me jealous! Well at least when they get old, they get to tell interesting stories to their children!

I really wish I had the chance to study abroad. If you're considering whether you should go abroad or just stay in the same place, please, please take the chance. I can guarantee you will never regret even if it's hard to cope with a new life at the beginning. Have you heard of something like "Take the opportunity and figure it out after that." Yes, that's how you gonna make great memories.

Don't limit yourself because you are afraid. The only thing we wouldn't want to regret in life is the time we wasted, the time we couldn't travel back to.

Anyway, if you're interested or you have no idea where to go, maybe you can think about New Zealand, watch this :


WHY NEW ZEALAND?
1. New Zealand is a safe & peaceful country yet an exciting country.
Even though New Zealand is not a big country but it's very well-known for great outdoors, adventure, cultural activities and friendly welcoming people. You can study during the week and choose activities like bungy jumping, skiing, hiking, rafting, or exploring local culture in your free time.

2. New Zealand offers International recognition of courses and degrees.
New Zealand qualifications are of a high quality and have a reputation around the world for being practical, modern and desired. All courses, programs and qualifications offered by New Zealand institutions are quality assured by the New Zealand government. Major employers around the world recognize New Zealand qualifications and employ New Zealand graduates.

3. Opportunity to settle permanently in New Zealand 
If you complete your course successfully, you automatically get a 12 months 'Work Permit' under the student visa policy. In most instances this permit will be done at your institution itself. This allows you to work full time in any job of your choice. However if you want to get a New Zealand Permanent Residency (PR), then you have to find a job that is relevant to the course that you have completed. Eg: If you have completed a course in IT, then you have to find a job as a programmer, analyst, etc. This will immediately give you a 2 years work permit with all rights like free medical, etc. Upon receiving this 2 years work permit then you can apply for PR and normally will get it within 5-6 months. If you do not find a job that is relevant to your course, you can continue to work in any job for 12 months and try and recover some of the investment you have made towards your study in NZ. You will that way end up by recovering a bulk of the fees you have paid and also end up with an international experience which will come in handy if you have to return to India. There are plenty of jobs in NZ, and while it may not be easy to get one, if you are good enough, you will easily get one.

Hi guys! I finally have the time to sit down and open my laptop. I've been really busy after coming back from my Europe trip, so many things to keep track on after having 2 weeks of fun. Yes, as busy as it seems, I sort-of went viral two days ago on facebook, thanks to some psychotic idiot who wrote TWO bullshit posts about me on gigacircle. Don't worry, I wasn't really affected by the posts, I really took it as a joke. Anyhow, I think that I needed to say something to keep my guards so yea, posted a statement on my facebook page and I'm glad to have my readers who always back me up and believe in who I am. #blessedmuch

Okay this post has nothing to do with it, I was wondering what should I blog about my Europe trip. The first thing my friends ask me about my Europe trip is "Which place I love best?", I couldn't really decided one, but I think PARIS is one of the best cuz I just had I the BEST MEAL I EVER HAD in my entire life - - - L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon (credits to Aileng who introduced me to dine here)


I never really fancy fine dining, cuz I usually think that it's not worth to pay so much for such little portion B-U-T this one, seriously, this one just had my mind blown. Lucky us, we manage to get a table by walking in (we actually made a reservation an hour before we dine so I guess we considered as walk-in lol), it's better to make a reservation if you're planning to dine there.

Compared to a la carte menu, we think it's more worth to just go for the designed 11-course menu as we can try most of the dishes. It's Euro 198 per pax and yes crazy expensive if you convert it to ringgit. BUT TRUST ME,  NO REGRETS for paying the price for fine food they serve. They have a few branches in a few countries but from what I know, this one I went in Paris is the best.

Okay,
 ARE YOU READY TO DROOLLLLLL.....
(sequences following the menu above) 
you know you need a break lol.


11-course meal is crazy, every dishes are so well presented, every bite are like sparkles! The dishes literally brought my taste buds into the whole next level, never enjoyed a fine dine so much (as I always think it's such pain in the ass for paying so much for a meal). THIS TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE. I think I can never forget this amazing food experience #ithinkicandiepeacefullynow.

If you ever travel to Paris, please spare some extra money to pay a visit to is amazing restaurant.
Okay, blog more about my trip soon!


HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BOWL OF MAGGI (in 3 minutes)

To be honest, I'm a huge fan of Maggi. I once tweet about my best combi “breakfast” is actually Maggi and a cup of Milo few years back and it is still my fav. I could say my fav flavor goes to Asam Laksa but I also like the others like curry/tomyam/chicken flavor.

It is not that I wantto be so thick-face but I seriously think that I cook the best maggi (soup ones); I never really like people cooking my maggi cuz I think they can't do the taste I wanted, except for my mom, she does it how I likes it #momsthebest

So here's my secret to cook the best bowl of maggi in 3 minutes.

I'm cooking a new flavor today, Maggi Royale – Penang Seafood Curry.
 For me, my maggi couldn't be complete without an egg. I'll actually go to neighbour to get eggs if I am eager to have a bowl of maggi but I don't have eggs lol.

Usually how I do is, I use my bowl to measure how much soup I want, I like my soup to taste thick so just pour a little more water to estimate that it will evaporate. Also, I uses hot water cuz I want it to boil fast.

THIS IS AWESOMENESS. 
See how big pack is the chili paste, also comes with cremer and prawn flavoring. Yums.

Put everything in when it started to boil.

So when to add the egg? Right after you feel the noodle is less hard and starting to soften. I just leave my egg at the side and continue cook my maggi.

Close the fire when you can feel the noodles are still bouncy. Noodles that are too soft will just kill the whole bowl.

And here you go, my ideal bowl of Maggi.
Look at the egg yolk *droolllll. Sorry for being full of my maggi lolll.

Soup is just nice.

Btw, I'm really impressed with this Penang Seafood Curry flavor. I think I did a great job cooking it cuz it taste like it came from penang or maybe its just Maggi did a great job on the flavor #asalways. I'm so gonna try the next one flavour in the Maggi Royale range, the Maggi Royale Korean Spicy Braised Beef! Any suggestion what should I add in? Kimchi???


You guys should really try the new Maggi Royale range too!
I am giving away 10 gift packs to my readers – drop a comment in the comment box telling me what is your preferred way to cook Maggi; the first 10 commentor will win the gift pack!

Good luck :)

London oh London, it was like a dream to me, how I wish I could stay longer. It's my first time to London and I'm glad I'm here with him *blush*. To him, London is like home and he actually planned everything in advance, making reservations months ago for dining places, words couldn't describe how blessed am I *blushblushblush*.

This is one of the places he say he must bring me to, Berkeley's designer afternoon tea, Prêt-à-Portea Afternoon Tea. Yes, this ain't no normal afternoon tea but a very fashionable one. Everything inspired by the It-fashion, with a seasonal menu that changes every six months. It's a very girly thing to do so I'm pretty impressed that he would actually bring me here. I mean even me myself don't really do afternoon tea time kinda thing but this is all for the fashion!

It's going to be 2015 in few days and I've been thinking about how much I've done this year. Had a little conversation with the girls today and we talked about how much we had gone through, and I'm glad each of us is getting better.

I always have this little habit where everytime before I sleep, I tend to think about life, and then I'll write about stuff and post it in my wechat (sorry,my wechat is very personal lol) so things that I think it might inspire, I'll post it publicly. This is the recent one I posted on my facebook page :



This was inspired by a quote I read online, saying something like "People often think about their future, but the forget if they'll survive tomorrow." which hits me pretty hard. Like what usual parents say, or the society thinks, you have to do this this this, so you can have a better future. True, thinking about your future is a good thing but I often think that enjoying the moment is as important as the future. 

You can have all the future you want, but always give appreciation whenever you can, whenever you have the chance to, cuz the only thing you do not want to lose is the moment, the chance, the time you could have. 

I'm pretty glad that this year, I learn so much about not wasting time. I seen friends who hate their life so much but they are still the same old them one year ago, doing the same old routine. No offense, if you are comfortable with your life, go ahead, but if you are not and you are not doing anything to change, why are you complaining? Why are you not taking a step? You did? Why did you stop? Prolly you do not want it as much as you thought. I believe that if you ever have a dream, and if you believe in your dream, nothing is impossible. No one can help you if you are not even convinced with your dreams. Life is pretty much cruel like that.



  S T O P    W A S T I N G   T I M E    .



We are all growing up, give yourself sometime to think about what you want for life, what are you living as, a dreamer or a survivor? Always remember, what you bring into your grave are not the money but the memories you made. Live for dreams, don't die with it.

 Kick start 2015 with new hopes and dreams! Lets do it together!!!! LEGGOOO.

Anyway, anyone of you is interested to join me for a test drive with the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost? 



If you haven’t heard of it, the New Ford Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost is powered by the triple award winning International Engine of the Year (2012, 2013 & 2014) which comprises of a 3-cylinder turbo charged engine paired with the Powershift ® six speed automatic transmissions. One of the smallest yet most powerful engines in its class, you can enjoy a smooth ride with power and acceleration at 125ps and 170 Nm.

The Smart Keyless Entry on Ford Fiesta adds so much convenience to people like me, who’s always looking for car key in my bag, which is full of other stuff. Now you don’t need a key to open the car door, instead by just standing next to it and press on the button on the door handle; press on the Push Button Start to start the engine and off you go!

What is the worst thing that could happen that will ruin your entire trip? (to me)
Having no internet access.

Okay I don't want to go all “I can't live without internet” but honestly, the internet is part of my life. No, I don't think it's a good thing to stare at your phone and not enjoying the moment, but for me, I love sharing the moments with my followers. So what I normally do is, I will only go online when I was having coffee and I update my stuff.

Imagine if I don't have instant internet access, I think I wouldn't have the same mood while sharing after a week or two. Which explains why I am obsessed with my own instagram feed when I was in my europe trip (sorry for being thick face lol but I really put a lot effort on my editing and photography).


I just can't.

Thank god that I loaned a pocket wifi and most cafes offers wifi. Of course, how good is it if we don't need to pay for internat when we are in overseas. Seems like it's impossible but here I tell you, that this is possible. FREE INETERNET ROAMING is legit, available in 8 countries & regions, including Australia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand, only for U Mobile prepaid users.

To be eligible for the prepaid Free Internet Roaming special offer, you need to make a top up with the  minimum amount of RM50 to enjoy complimentary 50MB data everyday for the next 30 days. Once the 50MB limit is exhausted, you can continue to enjoy internet roaming services at the lowest rate in the Malaysian market at RM30/day for all applicable countries and regions. YES, for the history, IT IS THE CHEAPEST.



Apparently once you reached your travel destination in any of the 8 countries and regions, they will be automatically connected to U Mobile’s preferred roaming operator, allowing you to immediately enjoy the Free Internet Roaming service. Awesome.

U Mobile’s FREE Internet Roaming of 50MB everyday lets you stay connected while travelling overseas. The 50MB FREE quota is sufficient for those who are like me who love to share their special moments, interesting thoughts, and latest status updates via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or for them to connect on instant messaging platforms like WhatsApp™, WeChat™, LINE™and KakaoTalk™.
