Char Kuay Teow Manis

Rasa macam dah lama gila tak update sampai dah tak tahu cara menulis blog. Truth be told, I think I'm gonna let this blog more of a fashion daily outfit purchases thingy. I've lost touch on how to verbally nor wordly(ada ke?) write my feelings in poetic words that only I can understand, dulu terlampau banyak masa sampai boleh pusing-pusing ayat sampai orang tak faham unless memang sengaja nak bagi faham kan. Sekarang, hmm masa tu ada la kadang-kadang tapi takde will power nak voice everything out like I use to. But believe me, when I start writing it's gonna be too long winded like a flippin' roller coaster and you ain't gonna like it.

What I wore on Monday to go pick up stocks for next week's MM, go meet Urban Retro customer and makan char kuay teow special at Puchong Perdana.. 6 gigantic madafakin udang, banyak! Tapi kurang kick the char kuay teow haritu, terlalu manis.. :(

Beanie from Angah, The Shoplifters
White Tank Top & Tortoise-Shell Shades (Men's Section), Zara
Vest, from Japan
Necklaces, Lucky from Topshop, Owl from Diva
Fringe Bag, 238
Vintage Skirt, Soak Republic
Suede Studded Flats, Charles & Keith (I want one in black!)


I intend to take more daily outfit pictures since I am on a work break and when that happens I usually dress up a lil bit more than the usual top & jeans to the office. But......... I'm forgetful & lazy to whip out the camera before all the makeup slides away, not that I wear much makeup anyways.. Hah, maybe I should take photos before going out. Boleh kot, choih macam masalah dunia aku fikirkan ni!

Minggu lepas dating with Cik Sarah Is The One, dia ambil aku kat rumah dengan baik hati selepas hantar kucing Fareo ke vet. Kesian Fareo, hope he's okay now! Jumpa parents dia di Alamanda, uhh segan sebab saya memakai baju ala-ala sendat sikit... Cover dengan Velveteen Vest. Auntie jangan risau, Sarah is a good kid (although auntie mungkin lebih risau siapalah minah sememeh yang kawan dengan Sarah ni haha). Lepas tu kami makan kat Burger King yang baru buka tu, kelakar rasa macam lapan tahun Burger King tu under construction, sekarang baru buka. Me & boyfriend jokingly said BK sebenarnya taknak buka outlet di situ, tapi terpaksa sebab pak/lah nak makan BK, lol. Bad joke -_-

Tengok cerita The Spirit dengan kawan Sarah & Sarah, Sarah tertidur. Sabar je lah, dalam tertidur dia tu boleh komen movie tu best lepas tu. Macam aku tertidur cerita Nemo masa dating ngan Pherry kat Melaka, lepas tu terjaga before ending and nangis terharu tengok ending dia. Bf thinks I'm mad sebab I didn't even watch the movie enough to be emotional about it's ending! Nak buat macammana, memang sensitif heee. Sebenarnya, masa starting Twilight pun saya tertidur........................... tapi boleh jatuh cinta jugak dengan Edward Cullen (Note: jangan makan kenyang-kenyang sebelum tengok wayang)

Oh yea, minggu ni I spent quite a lot on retail purchase, all is worth it I hope. Pictures will be taken later when I'm not that much lazy, but here's one of it:

Forever 21 Couture, goldish bronze zip-up dress.

The black skirt is not part of the dress. Vintage Jacque-Belle jacket selling at The Shoplifters.


Tucked in the top part & worn as a skirt. Yellow Paisley Vest, selling at The Shoplifters.

The dress, it's obnoxious in a good way, I like. And gahh I so love F21 accessories on sale. Grab quite a few! Anyways, I finally bought myself leather skirt. Two infact! One has a houndstooth pattern on it and the other one is a plain black leather skirt. Both reasonably thrifted. Sangat seronok, can't wait to wear 'em with my geometric tights!

Harini sepatutnya ingatkan Tinot bawa pumpkin pants ke office tapi terlupa pulak, takpelah minggu depan je lah jawabnya. Semalam mood swing tak hingat, kasihan Pherry berkucil hati dengan aku, kena marah tak bertempat. Kenapa perempuan perlu mood swing eh? Kan membazir tenaga je sebenarnya? Penat tau, nak merajuk lagi nak marah-marah lagi, nak berlapar tunggu kena pujuk lagi, hmm hmmm.. Proves satu benda pada aku, macammana banyak pun retail therapy/duit menimbun pun. Takkan bahagia punya. Although hidup ni memang perlukan wang, contohnya cerita The Pursuit of Happyness. Tu gila babi kan? Tapi kalau banyak duit pun, tak menjamin kebahagiaan jugak...

New items!

I have another drafted entry pending for me to continue ramble but meh, these are more important!

The Shoplifters were featured in KLUE & Berita Harian (eheh!). It seems like many many moons ago that the interview was done but now both article come out at the same month! At the very end of year, what a great closure of 2008 for The Shoplifters. This baby girl made momma so proud!

Pinjam gambar ni dari Kitsch Snith, versi online ada disini.

Thank you sangat-sangat buyers of The Shoplifters. I heart you.

I've had my share of ups & downs with him,
I've also had my doubts over the years,
but lately for some reason, my feelings for him grew more & more.
I'd never leave him for anything.
And don't ever anyone be messing with my boy,
or you'll have your asses kicked by six racks of shoes.
Faham? :)

I'm so proud of you!

Bukan kisah aku.

Dalam hidup kita cuma ada Dia, kumpulan keluarga dan golongan kawan-kawan yang kita harapkan ketika kesusahan. Bagi aku, aku bukan a family person, jadi aku mengharapkan mata, telinga, kaki & tangan kedua aku iaitu sang kekasih. Kadang-kadang, bukan mengharapkan pertolongan pun cuma telinga yang sedia mendengar atau kata-kata yang mampu melegakan jiwa yang kusut. Cuma salah satu, bukan kedua-duanya sekali. Itu aku. Aku tak gemar mendengar nasihat. Degil dan panas baran. Nama aja sputnik sweetheart tapi tak berapa sweet kalau aku merampos menahan marah. Dan biasanya marah lah yang aku simpan, pendam dan dikelabui dengan emosi lain. Konon-konon gembira, bahagia, tak peduli, bernafsu membeli belah dan sebagainya.

Kadang-kadang demi orang-orang yang tercinta, kita terima saja segala kesilapan atau cacat cela minor yang ada disampingnya bila sudah berkawan. Kalau emotional baggage yang dibawa, maka itu lah kita perlu terima bukan? Contohnya* rakan serumah yang bermasalah dengan teman lelakinya, 8 hari 8 malam menangis tak tentu hala, bergaduh dalam telefon menjerit-jerit, tak mandi tak makan.. Jadi sebagai ahli masyarakat dan rakan terdekat, sudah tentu kita memikul tanggungjawab menenangkan rakan histeria tu kan. Nak buat macammana, ini lah kehidupan. (*bukan cerita sebenar)

Tapi............ Bila dah 80hari menangis dan bergaduh tak berhenti-henti. Pasti pula kita yang rasa tertekan, rasa terseksa, menyampah, benci, tak suka, negatif, emosi walhal bukan kita yang terlibat secara langsung kan? Aku tak tahu la korang tapi aku ni memang sensitif orangnya. Nampak je macam sombong alang, padahal lebih penakut sebenarnya kerana takut diri sendiri dilukai oleh orang-orang sekeliling. Kadang-kadang, bila dah menyerah untuk bersabar orang mengata kita dah kebal, dah biasa dengan keadaaan tu jadi tak mengapa, kita ni boleh terima.

Tak pernah dengar ke? Titik-titik hitam yang kecil kalau disambung gabung, lama-lama boleh membentuk paus? Batu-batu api yang tersimpan lama-lama menimbulkan spark apinya sendiri lalu boleh meletup bagai gunung berapi? Lagi-lagi kalau darah muda menggelegak macam aku, nipis je tahap kesabaran aku. Tapi demi orang-orang tersayang, ditebalkan lapis demi lapis. Sedikit demi sedikit, ia akan terhakis jika keadaan tu tak berubah. Aku bukannya malaikat apetah lagi seorang ustazah. Bukan soal agama yang aku nak cakapkan, cuma soal perasaan.

Aku ada perasan, sekalipun aku cuba kaburi dengan senyuman manis atau muka do-no. Satu saja, respect others if you want to be respected, age & colors aside.

ps: The Day The Earth Stood Still was hella boring although Keanu masih hot juga, seharusnya membalas tenungan Edward Cullen lagi sekali. Apakah keboringannya Twilight belum keluar di GSC Alamanda??

Hello!

Saya dah pulang ke tanahair!

Tapi sibuk bangat jadi update tentang Indonesia trip lainkali ya. Cuma satu, disebabkan tidak dapat menghantar/menerima sms ketika di sana, apatah lagi melayari alam siber. Saya nak mengucapkan

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY Kak Rona!

Awak baru umur 28 tahun kan kan? Muda lagi. Benci sambut birthday sama budak2 busuk lain tapi tak ajak I!


Hmmf, mana hadiah?

One of those list

Yay yay!

Monday Monsieur V

Minggu lepas aku terer gila, tak makan dari pagi sampai malam. Gerak naik pengangkutan awam yang sendat dengan pendatang asing dan pelajar universiti yang tak balik kampung dengan membawa wang berkepuk-kepuk dan berpakaian ala mahu ke MIFA tapi tak pergi.

Sebenarnya, aku pergi membeli stok untuk Shoplifters. Pherry Clucker dipaksa bekerja maka aku terpaksa membeli barangan MonMon (Monday Monsieur) seorang diri. Urgh, tak sangka aku berjaya mengangkut lebih 5kg (agaklah) barangan ke sana kemari seorang diri sehingga minah ni tiba. Berdasarkan saiz tubuh badan, mungkin aku lebih kuat. Kami agak buntu membuat pilihan kerana ketiadaan gadis NF kami. Jika dia ada, mesti kami pantas & hebat membuat pilihan!

Kemudian, selepas menghabiskan wang yang diamanatkan gadis NF dengan jayanya kami melepak (atau lebih kepada melepek) di warung minuman makcik baik hati tapi ada tikus besar kat bumbung, selama lebih kurang 2 jam. Minum air bergelas-gelas sampai rasa nak terkucil, gat dem! Tiba-tiba, makcik tua ni datang secara mengejut. Cis! Turun KL tak habaq! Piap!

Vintage houndstooth skirt worn as a tube top (vintageouss)
Vest (bought in japan)
Bicycle necklace aka Rantai Basikal (malacca)
Wide Leg Jeans (promod)
T-Bar Sandal (jusco)


Brass angel wings ring (soak republic). Aku hadiahkan yang silver untuk Pherry.

Bondage Gladiator on Kak Rhona (the shoplifters) // Kilat-kilat gladiator on Schuhz (online)

Lepak dan bergosip entah apa-apa beberapa ketika sehingga Pherry datang mengambil kami. Kemudian hantar Kak Rhona ke stesen LRT dan kami makan kenyang-kenyang di Asia Cafe SS15 sebelum bergerak pulang ke Perak.

Dah balik, aku dan pherry berjaya score mannequin bersaiz S yang cuma berharga RM50! Hehe sementelah Schuhz menamakan mannequinnya Sundal (ala yang selalu keluar kat leftovers tu), aku pun menamakan mannequin aku as Sundae. Comel dan sesuai dengan hari yang aku dapatkannya!

Oh ya, aku juga telah membuat kerja gila. Dengan membeli dua beg leatherette fringe bernilai RM80! Sekarang aku rasa agak keterlaluan pula lalu nak menjual beg fringe yang berwarna ungu gelap tu. Hmmm... patut tak?

Sexified Tag

Perlukah? Demi memenuhi kehendak wanita di Kuantan kerja kerajaan tu. Saya menjawab lah tag dia:

1. Tangkap @ sertakan 3 keping gambar anda yang anda rasakan paling seksi.
2. Tak semestinya tak berpakaian atau mendedahkan. Mungkin anda rasa senyuman anda masa itu adalah seksi. Sertakan!!! (Semangatnya -_-)
3. Nyatakan kenapa gambar itu begitu seksi di mata anda?
4. Tag 5 rakan-rakan anda yang seksi.
5. Selamat berseksi.

Semestinya gambar faveret adalah dari gambar2 spontan webcam & satu gambar dari kamera seamstress kami!

1) Seksi kerana mataku yang bundar, button-nose, wavy beach hair dan bibir mungil ala Angelina Jolie. Seksi kan??

2) Menjadi perempuan berkulit tan yang hitam lagi seksi berkebaya dan menyibuk belakang kucing mondok. Sebenarnya, ni gambar ekstra seksi untuk anda (you pervert!) :P

3) Sebenarnya yang seksi tu aksi orang belakang aku. Dahagakan susu dan si mulut senget.



Sekarang, saya nak tag:
1) Tina (sebab dia belum buat lagi tag Kak Rona)
2) Anil (Congratulations on your engagement! Maaf saya tak dapat datang esok, I'm still so happy for you though ♥)
3) Sarah Is The One, i know you got some sexay picturessss
4) Berapa ramai nak tag ni? Okaylah, Ferdows si anak muda dari lembah franjan. Franjan tu apa?
5) Dzu Wondermilk. Yay!!
6) Atas permintaan, Zeisch -_- (it's always more fun to blog when she's around honestly, ♥ darab 10juta)

I'm feeling extra gloomy and sad today so here's one of my favorite editorial of the delicate alex sandor (pics courtesy of mixologies@livejournal);


i like thy lace dress

i envy thy lovely hair

that dress

that pretty face

that top & skirt

and of course those pair of legs

I want them all.
Okaylah, I wanna go home and take a cold shower and watch YSL:Life & Times then maybe Baby Blues.

*sobs*

Also, I want to go to TiC Chic Code Retro Revival Party (missed last week's Androgynous) but I might be going back to my hometown. Ahh decisions decisions! Oh, by the way thanks for the invite Joyce!

Rundown

Today I want to talk about something a bit more serious than clothes. Work. With the fluctuating situation of world economy I have to say I'm a bit more than just nervous thinking about the stability of my own job.

True, I have a permanent job (almost 2 years now, woah) which allows me to use the benefit of a credit card once and awhile and not worry about not being able to pay because I KNOW for a fact how much I'll be getting each month and apparently doing measly side income with two/three more online businesses does help, A LOT ehem!

However, with loads of rumors circulating the email world (what else office people do than gossip through mails?). I'm not so sure of how true this info is but it did scared me a little:

Flextronics 4 days week for Month Nov and Dec.

AMD Penang announced this morning VSS lay off 500 employees.

Spansion force to take leave (5 days in this quarter)

Jabil planned shut down from Dec 24 to Jan 4, will be 6 days leave.

Agilent planned shut down from Dec 24 to Jan 4, will be 6 days leave.
Jan09 might have another shutdown. No increment 2008 review.

Avago no plan shutdown as no more in house production, hiring freeze.

ASE shut down every fortnightly on Monday starting from Nov 3.

Fairchild planned 'Mass Vacation' for 9 days leave in FY08

INTEL - No increment 2008 review, VSS for those under perform and
massive cut cost/travel 2009, no shutdown plan yet

Motorola, Penang- Still hiring+profit, suspect got government 'look after',
Singapore cellphone plant cut 800 job and now waiting for sale.

Siltera, kulim - Propose close down this Malaysian 1st Fab company, loss RM4billion in 2008

SENSATA Plant shutdown from 22 DEC 2008 to 02 JAN 2009; NO increment in 2009;
NO Profit S hari ng in 2009!

As for the jap company I'm working for, they've decided that no overtime is allowed. We have to fill up a form prior to doing our OT, stating reason & length of time. Weekend OT is completely frozed, if the work has to be done during weekend when the production line is off, OT will be replaced with annual leave.

Furthermore, yesterday's latest rumor was that there will be only 6 working days in January. Damnson, if that's the case we certainly won't be receiving full pay are we?! Scary, our survival is at stake! Luckily the rumor was cleared up by our H.O.D this morning, he announced that we might have to take extra 3 days leave in December & 3 more days leave in January. Cuti paksa. All this will be going on up until March or April.. Who knows within that time what will happen to the economy.. or to the factory. I'm hoping it will remain strong :[

*sigh* As much as I hate this job, it's this job that took me to where I am now. I don't wanna loose it, not anytime soon. Seriously, tak nak.

EDIT:
Adding to this matter, my internet access at the office was suddenly blocked two days ago. Which was rather coincidental for the fact that my ip address came up as top ten best internet users *uhuk uhuk* (best lah sangat). Turns out it was just a virus infecting most PCs' at the office. Pergh, ingat dah nak kena yellow card tadi. Syukur....

*Currently scanning pc for viruses bertalu-talu.

WIWT ni macam weewit je?

What I wore on Saturday to meet the girls and jalan-jalan:

Don't I look a lot like my father? That's his wedding picture on my vanity desk :)


Wide Flower Curved Headband // Jualan Tepi Kilang, RM3Chiffon Vintage Dress // Soak RepublicCoin Cincher // MalaccaHobo Bag // Trendy ConfessionsT-Bar Flats // Secret Secret Shop

When I wore this dress, there was a man with full body tatoo complete with dragons & chinese enscriptions asked me was the dress I'm wearing are old folks zaman dulu-dulu punya. That instantly put a smile on my face (I was already in glee being a store with everything that I want and that added more sparkle to my smile) and I replied,"yes, it's vintage!". Then he proceed to ask whether I was wearing my mom's or grandmother's ancestors dress. I said no, I bought it. He was ,"oooohhh". I was
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hehe

What I wore on Sunday for photoshoot then to KLCC:

Black Beanie // The ShopliftersNF15 Slanted Top // The Shoplifters (weird pocket, which I cut out as soon as I got home. Mungkin jugak macam poket Baju Melayu, poket mintak duit raya haha!)Plastic Raincoat Vintage Skirt // Nina-OnePurple Owl Necklace // Green BananasTriple Way Big Ass Dump Bag // courtesy of The ShopliftersBrown Striped Corduroy Jacket // Monday Monsieur 4 @ The Shoplifters

We did the photoshoot at a shopping complex's roof top parking lot, and I think that's the best spot and we're gonna do it again and again and again. There were people staring as they pass by but with my konon-konon professional habis tripod and small nikon camera, don't forget, serious modelling poyo expressions, ofcourse buat tak tahu sajalah. Hardly a nuisance!

Bye, I'm off to give this guy his Silver Databank

;)

You can Quarantine me in a Shoe Store

Oh they're definitely mine now. Been eyeing them ever since I saw it at the secret secret shoe shop. Previously they had it in purple (Ok, I tried but I can't find the picture). So anyway after doing like months of thinking (serius beb), I finally succumbed and tricked my boyfriend to go to that place. I said I wanted to look at washing machines, which I really do coz my housemate just moved out and took along her washing machine & fridge but my main point was to buy the shoes. Hah! He says okay he wants to look at ovens cause he wants to bake/make nachos. He's adorable like that.

Anyway the shoes were only RM100 after 10% discount. I LIKE. Eheheheheh, now they only have silver & black left. I'm gonna keep the store as a secret cause there some flats that I like which are only RM39.90, most of its gladiator shits are around that price except the one that I like the most -_-"

Talking about washing machines, I realized that it's time to start buying home appliances of my own since I'm living alone now. There, I said it. It's really sad actually, not having a housemate but who am I to blame when her boyfriend wants to take it to the next level. KAHWIN.

I love browsing home appliances and dreaming about a house of my own, it's so satisfying at a certain level! I also remembered LG's decorated washing machine I found a few months ago. Look how nice do they look! In other words, CANTIK BANGAT!!


I CAN HAS THIS? Also found another interesting one from Samsung, Hauzen Washing Machines:


But the Samsung has way too much color than I like, kan? Apart from drooling over washing machines and oven and fridges, we went to watch Quarantine. We intended to watch Madagascar2, we're not the type to watch animation movies really but what else is there? But the only available seats for Madagascar2 was the front row seats. Uh no thank you, Quarantine please.

After watching the dizzying, surprise shock effects and loads of screaming and wailing in the movie. I was left trembling on the seat. Why la I tengok movie ni????? It's the home-video type like Cloverfield but the zombie type exactly like Will Smith's I am Legend. Atleast I am Legend had some emotional effect on me eg. the dog died, zombie got smarter, there's other people selain Will Smith. But Quarantine really is a blunt zombie type of movie. Get bitten > be a Zombie > kill kill die die. Nope, I NO LIKE. Mainly because I'm a scaredy cat. One should wonder how I'm able to live alone. Okay dah lah I wanna put an advert looking for a housemate right away!

I hate going home to an empty cold space anyway.
*cries a river*

Last but not least, this is in my wishlist:
