Since work is catching up, it only seems sensible that I dedicate equal of my time to catch up with friends (which usually consist of attending events and meeting them there).

This is as far as work hard play hard as I'll ever achieve. It's just isn't in my nature to party and drink all night long, but I do love the occasional mingle and social events, I love travel more but that requires more time away and less commitment to my work, which isn't possible at the moment.

I've been hesitant to associate this blog with my personal life, and yes, my work is my personal life even though I don't intentionally keep it as a public thing. But you'll be surprised how secretive you can keep private life so long as you don't share it on any social media platform. It's like people don't ask how one another is anymore (other than the usual courteous question when they're not sure how to greet you), it's just easier to read it on facebook, see it on instagram or await for people to blog about it.

We're living in a world there information comes to us. Gone were the days we have to flip through newspaper to read world news, or the days where we pick up a phone to see how a friend is doing. Heck we don't even pick up a phone anymore, there's always facebook chats and whatsapp. It just seems more convenient, less intrusive and it's FREE.

Some girlfriends and I decided to catch up over tea on Deepavali. None of us has never been to the Orchid Conservatory at the Majestic Hotel and the popularity of that place was soaring due to the amazing orchid backdrop photos that kept showing up on blogs and facebook these days.

Food was so-so, and for the price of RM100 per person, you have to share your tea set with someone else, which also meant sharing the same piece of cake and sandwiches; honestly I found that utterly stupid. Sharing is caring only if you don't have to slice an already tiny piece of triangle sandwich or tinier slice of cake with your friend.

Savoury options were mainly deep fries and sandwiches were bland. You only get to choose local Cameron Highland tea or coffee as part of the set. When I mentioned I was allergic to caffeine, they suggested I order a pot of tea (non-caffeine version) for myself, which when the bill came it was charged at the full rate of RM30 per pot. An utterly ridiculous price. They should have offered the option to switch the tea at an additional rate, not charging a full fare for a fresh pot. Not to mention my friend's coffee was so diluted, it's almost see-through.

Honestly, other than the beautiful orchids, I find no reason to spend so much to have tea in this place.

Been attending a few events lately, not something I would do usually but it has come to my attention lately that I should go out and socialise more.
It was getting too comfortable living the life of a hermit.
Besides, what better ways to meet some new and old friends and to check out the latest fashion line all in one.

I had a voucher to claim a pair of jeans from Guess some time back but never got the chance to visit a guess outlet, so since I was going to do it, I might as well attend an event hosted by Guess in the Pavilion Guess Jeans outlet.
So many birds with one stone.

They were throwing a selfie contest at the event too, three winners will receive up to RM1300 worth of prizes that consisted of Guess watch, Guess jeans and Dior products.
That's my kind of contest, no effort needed, it's what I do on most days anyways.

And yes, I won. Winning photo at the end of the post.

I arrived early so I decided to try out some clothes from the Guess new line. The spread was adorable but I didn't really try any of the food (hello, more important things to do, like trying out new clothes), I just wished they served water at the event instead of just beer and cola.








Seldom I see a female drummer, she was pretty awesome to me


my winning haul



It's quite a manly watch, I was quite worried it wasn't going to match but matched surprisingly well it did. I was going for this hipster look the other day and the watch completed the look so well. I have to do an ootd post soon. It's been too long.


Oh yea. My winning selfie pose. Enjoy.

A SK-II Pitera House was set up until the 14th of October this month in Publika where people can walk in to learn more about their skin and the skincare line's famous facial treatment essence. I am an avid user of the SK-II famous FTE (Facial Treatment Essence), mainly a ritual passed down by my mom.

Visitors were able to get a complimentary skin-check with SK-II's Magic Ring skin analysis device, which I've done it before about a year ago. Let me find the photo.




so many spots!

But if you missed the checking out the Pitera House, you can walk into a local SK-II counter to get your Magic Ring test too.

Here are some photos of the SK-II Pitera House.

This year is about work, work, work and very little play. Boo.

It was a choice I made so I'm not really complaining, but I do miss travelling, so bad.

If you ran out of places to visit in Bangkok (yes it can happen), here's a place that guarantees heap loads of photo ops, good food and a romantic evening walk and dining experience with your love ones. Chocolate Ville is a newly built European-themed village that was launched in year 2011, able to cater up to 300 people at any given time (perhaps more).

Do not attempt this trip alone, you have been warned.

The downfall is that it's located slightly out of town, about 30 mins away from Bangkok city without traffic. The only way to get there is to hire a car or hop into a taxi, however, be sure to get a local taxi app (I suggest GrabATaxi / MyTeksi) to ensure your ride there and back because most taxi drivers in Bangkok are farmers from the countryside driving for extra income during the crop growing period, a.k.a. don't know their way around the city, least out of the city. If you're so lucky to get on a ride of an experienced Bangkok taxi driver that would lead you to the village direct, Chocolate Ville also offers to call you a taxi at no extra charges to get back into the city.

Food worthy of a try: pork knuckle, pork ribs & fried chicken.
