It felt so familiar yet different.

Has it really been almost a year?

small

Project 52, Week 38 15th - 21st Dec

Despite being there 3rd time round, it felt different each time.

and without a doubt, it reminds me how small and insignificant we could possibly be.

oh, and Merry Christmas. :)

roads

We always wonder about the road not taken,

what about the road that we took?

lines

One of the best lines that I've heard in a while,

"So you get guys drunk?"

Classic.

wings

Project 52, Week 37 8th - 14th Dec

Cliche but I love it.

shoes

Want to know where I get my daily dosage of porn shoeporn?

3 of the best websites that I ever stumble upon.

Shoewawa.com

found this website a couple years ago and I always love visiting it. I believe it's run by professional media, UK based and it is kind of a blogazines that is all about shoes! What not to love about it? They have sited on fashion, gadgets and even make up. What I love is they keep everything short and sweet.

Imelda.com.au

Who doesn't want to be Imelda? Written by Matt who is based on Australia. Love love love his quirky sense and opinions on those designer shoes and of course, it's definitely a shoe eye candy place. He takes awesome shoes shot too! which I feel a lot of people neglect sometimes.

Sea of shoes.com

Jane Aldridge, which I felt, is the 21st century Carrie Bradshaw with even more glamourous life. She had all the shoes that I would die for. And at 16, she has awesome style and outfit post. (which put all my outfit post to shames, not that it's great to begin with...). Oh, she take great pictures of shoes too!

And oh yes, my boredom has reach a new height. The day that I actually play around with photoshop...

ps, another pure absolute shoeporn, shoeperwoman.com

Maxi

I always wanted to try maxi dress but knowing how 'un-tall' I am kinda put me off from trying.

Thanks to Em and Sufoo persuasions, I tried this.

maxi dress - Femme something...

sandal - Vincci (my one and only)

bag - Forever 21

Awesome or what? haha.

sigh. It's common that my pay from Nuffnang Australia is donated back to the Australian's economy.

Jack

Project 52, Week 36 1st - 7th Dec

Was so close to lugging this back from Camberwell market.

I'm not sure which part of it attracted me so much,

perhaps it's 30s-40s vintage poster look,
or perhaps it's still a well known brand after decades and this might potentially how it's earlier days were,
or maybe perhaps it's simply an ad that was decades ago which I can still relate to the product?

well one man's junk is another man's treasure sometimes.

fantasy

Don't leave me with my fantasies.

I'm not sure if I could stop.

Chilly

One of those chilly (does this word even exist?) but sunny day.
And one of the most comfortable things to wear during the low 20 degree.

checker button down - Topman (bf one la...)
shorts - Levi's
belt - She Bop online
canvas shoes - Big W

playcount

Maybe I'm a little late but isn't iTunes play count damn right fascinating?

Never really noticed it before this. I'm an ol'skool Winamp girl previously.

(from about a month ago)

Kinda make me wonder why are these songs played so often. Well mostly favourite, I guess but I'm sure there more to it. Most surprising one would be Daniel Powter - Next Plane Home, not exactly one of the favourite.

And they say sometimes the music you listen to speak about you.

Gig

Project 52, Week 35 24th - 30th Nov

The Veils gig is actually the first gig I watched in Melbourne. They are awesome and very glad that I managed to catch their last show here in Melbourne.

It's so odd to sometimes see the artist in person when most of the time we feel connected to them is actually through iPod or something similar.

Finn Andrews. So full ofpassion.
(tell me, this an awesome picture)

one of the best songs from The Veils new album, Sun Gangs.

window

Window shopping is such a tease.
But I guess I like to be tease...

dress - Bugis, Sg
belt - Supre
bag - forever 21
canvas shoes - Big W (8 bucks only!)

gloom

1. What man has assurance enough to pretend to know thoroughly the riddle of a woman's mind? -cervantes (from The First Sex )

I sorta can't find the book in the messy room now. However, can men or women really exist without one or another? There's a reason why Eve took a bite, I guess.

2. I'm getting less addicted to Twitter.

3. I can't stop listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Empire of the Sun or any music actually.

4. The weather's today remind me of Malaysia, gloomy and rainy.

5. I can't believe I'm wasting 4 months of my life right now.

beauty

Project 52, Week 34 17th - 23rd Nov


Certain beauty will always be appreciated,

while some will only be taken granted of,

or possibly we haven't try hard enough?

frown.

what's with the frown...

asymmetrical silky tank - Jayjay
Zipper Legging - SG
Belt - She Bop Online

I kinda missed dressing up for winter.

Father

I stumble upon this site, www.dayswithmyfather.com a couple of weeks ago.

It's so raw, so real of what between Philip Toledano and his father that I couldn't find a word to describe it.

And sometimes, as I'm growing older, there is this another fear of unknown too.

Camberwell

Project 52, Week 33 10th - 16th Nov

Bought a book from Camberwell Market.


Titled The First Sex
nope it's not a tantric sex book for first timer but rather about woman as sex and gender as a whole.

Let's see how this add on to my feminism side.

Quote.

Quote of the day.

Find yourself a man that watch you fall asleep.

How significant is that again?

Summer

When you are buried within so many faces, which one can you see the clearest? Summer is here right? Well perhaps the bright, cheery and summer-ness might help. Even if I miss the stinging cold nostalgic feel from winter that blind us a little sometimes.

Project 52, Week 32 3rd - 9th Nov


With many other faces.

quiet.

Project 52, Week 31 27th Oct - 2nd Nov

He left his notes lying around.

Investment? What's Investment? The only Investment I know is on clothes, shoes and bag. haha.

It's quite funny when everyone is in this crazy exam spur and here I am floating around forgetting time and day (I'm not rubbing it in!). When you have so much time and the only human contact I can get from is Twitter, you can't help thinking more.

thinking about if I ever do something like Investment or something entirely different, where will I be?
thinking about tomorrow, if tomorrow did ever come.
thinking about next year. how certain and uncertain it is.
thinking about results. does it measure up to the money and time.
thinking about people, those around and those that are not.
oh and thinking what to eat for dinner.

dreams

Do you know the feeling of chill running down your bone?

I got it this morning when I flipped over and told him about my dream. Vague as it is. I dreamt that he is gone. dead. What he said next wasn't quite what I expect. He dreamt of something too. of me. gone. dead.

Coincidence perhaps?

I googled for the dream interpreter, interesting explanations but still. It can't exactly be generic enough to signified the same thing for everyone.

Dreams will always be a mystery.

Unionjack.

I wrote a whole paragraph about how would I feel about graduating soon second time and my first interview experience previously. Does anyone actually wants to read that? Then again, it's quite a personal experience. A bimbo post will be suffice for now for me.

Unionjack flat - SG
Zipper Leggings - SG

Never really imagine I would actually own a Unionjack bejewelled flat.
And no doubt, since I am a shoewhore to start with, I much rather have pretty shoes than erm.. pizza (but I love them, meatlover toppings)

I just realise the Australia flag have Unionjack on it!

surprise

life is full of surprises, isn't that what they always say?

big ones,

small ones,

frivolous ones,

and meaningful ones,

oh not forgetting the unexpected ones.

But those with reasons that is beyond the surface of the material is what counts the most.

I think I will always be mummy and daddy girl. Thank you :)

I absolutely love the trackpad.

Singapore

Project 52, Week 30 19th -26th Oct

It is only appropriate for me to blog about Singapore before leaving. Half an hour to check out.

Highlights of the trip:
1. Nuffnang APAC Blog Award was awesome. downright awesome.

2. Had some awesome girlie time with @cheesie and @davienne. It was so nice to emo talk. haha

3. Get to see Mummy and Daddy and have a huge surprise.

4. Get to meet all the Nuffies and whole lots of bloggers from everywhere.

5. I get to eat Old Chang Kee

6. I get to buy quite some shoes.

erm.. no time to dig for pictures, so I steal from Cheeserland.


Haji lane was damn awesome.
Thank you Nuffnang for this awesome trip :)

tired.

I'm tired,

tired of consequences,

tired of choices,

tired of conclusions,

I'm tired and just feels like sitting on an island.

Week12

I think this is one of the semester that I felt I worked the hardest (or tried..)

- Trying to draw which I am absolutely hopeless. Even my lecturer ask me to take art class.

- Being MD for a major project. (I can't stop going wtf. wtf. wtf. what am I thinking?!)

- Dipping my feet into creativity. At least I try rather than failed to try.

- How awesome it feels to do presentation for something you confident in.

- Taking a class on Sex and Gender in Asia.

However, it's funny how we can never find a correct answer in this course. If it's not right or wrong then what is it? Perhaps there's more than just studying advertising sometimes.

Project 52, Week 29, 12th - 18th Oct

One of the most inspiring campaign that I did this semester. One of my favourite too.

Innocence

The last two pictures posted up reminded me of my long hair.

It seems not so long ago yet it is. I felt that I had let something go that day.

Did we lose our innocences because we chose to

or because we have to?

'M'

I remembered that day rather clearly. Even memories could be diluted sometimes but as usual I fill it up the way I like it.

In this case, I don't think I need to.

with you, I never need to feel old.

I remembered the first time we step in.

I remembered those colorful lights flashes around us.

I remembered it was after a long day of work.

I remembered the taste of the night.

And I clearly remember what you say to me that night.

Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore Experience!

If you noticed my previous post, I mentioned I have a reward after two torturous weeks of assignment. teehee. I'm packing my cape and flying to uniquely Singapore.

However, I have no idea what I am going to do there. I shall list it out and make sure I go.

1. Orchard Road (shopping here I come!)

2. Bugis St. & Far East Plaza (shopping here I come again!)

3. Haji's Lane! I heard it's a pretty nice artistic place.

4. A deal with Judd (I hope you remember.)

5. Chili's Wing! I heard so much about it that I can't wait to try it with all the nuffies.

Photo taken from Judd, which is taken from Tim

Ok, looks like everything is either to do with shopping... or more shopping.

Well the last time I went Singapore, this is what I did.

trying to harass Esplanade...

and now I want to do the real indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience! l

war

It's time for war.

Project 52, Week 28, 5th - 11th Oct

And that's my next two weeks for you.

Welcome to the world of advertising student.

Most of it is about 50% of the course assessment. whee.

However, there's reward towards the end. :)

studded

lace and stud, I will call it.

lace top

studded belt

high waisted skirt

I love love love this outfit :)

Never know lace and stud could go so well together.

So glad I finally bought the lace top after 2 months of eyeing it.

calm

It's funny how different the city looks at night,

with the slight icy spring weather,

with the werewolves kind of moon,

with The Perishers as the background music,

with yourself,

it felt like the calm before the storm.

Project 52, Week 27, 28th - 4th Oct

That's how the parliament looks at night.

ps, just found out this is my 100th post in blogspot!

checkers

Haven't post one quite a while

Blue checker - Junkyard Bazaar @ KL

Belt - Shebop Online

Stir-up - Sungai Wang

Wore that for a movie. Watching movie is a rare occasion here. :(

chapters.

Do we ultimately need to close a chapter?

Sometimes, people says life is like different chapters in book. Something comes, something goes. Something new, something old.

If it's really just another chapter to another chapter, how would it be possible to close it?

flaws

It is not flawless and it will never will be.

But some says the best thing comes with flaws.

Its Krrunch Time, Get Playful

When you are a student, the weekend is usually chaotic. Booze, party, booze, booze. But I decided to stay sober this Saturday night in a house party. (I know! Well, I drank enough on Friday..)

So here I am on a Saturday night, in a house party. With the booze staring back at me!

But no worries, Mr Pringles is here to the rescue!

He is here to krrunch with me! Soberly of course ;)

Instead of Tequila shot, I have.... Pringles Shot!

Project 52, Week 26, 21st - 27th Sept

Even my friend looking longingly at my Pringles shot.. heh.

And I spend my whole night having fun watching my drunk friends dancing the whole night.

Its Krrunch Time, Get Playful! and win tickets to Nuffnang APAC Blog Awards!

Dodgy

Project 52, Week 25, 14th - 20th Sept.

Sometimes I go such dodgy places that even in my head I can hear mummy saying no.

But that's one thing unique about Melbourne, a lot of places are in the alleyways and dodgy looking yet completely different. It's like in it's own world sometimes.

It's just surprising where it lead us to sometimes.

Monday

squelching sounds,

skipping over puddles,

she's singing 'And how I wish I knew me better',

Franklin cold winds,

one Wet Pussy and 2 Boag's,

and the warm heat that hits.

appreciated.

I received a news yesterday and for a long time since I felt so appreciated.

I'm really excited about it. :)

University

Been pretty absorbed with my uni life. According to housemate, Matt, I had been missing for two days last week.

Project 52, Week 23, 31st Aug - 6th Sept


Spend two nights in a row in the lab until we are freaking ourselves out with imaginary cleaner/killer and final destination shit. Worst of all, both nights we leave around 4am and when we were outside, we saw a guy with something huge and sound like chainsaw both nights. (but actually it's a blower..)

Project 52, Week 24, 7th - 13th Sept

Awesome lunch outside, sunny day and something yummy that's not instant noodle.

I cheated, both of these pictures are taken last week.

breathing.

I want to change the world, instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.

Ingrid Michaelson - Keep Breathing.

yearn.

the more you are left with your iPhone songs,

the more you are yearning for...

we live in a weird world.

well, we can never live in the summer of 69.

advertising

Up to today, I had been studying advertising for close to 3 years... and counting.

And I had numerous lecturers telling us sometimes we might have to sell our soul for what we have to do. For money. For economy..? or For the better of everyone.

I still remember the day of my scholarship interview, the guy ask me why do I want to study advertising? I think I give a rather holistic and naive answer then or more like the answer he wanted to hear.

I won't says I will give up on advertising or this industry just because it's not peachy perfect and all. However, I would see this as a challenge on how we can do something great in this industry perhaps even without selling our souls.

Or maybe after all, I'm just being idealistic.

Red

is what she is called. Nothing fancy at all.

What I love about her the most is her vibe of good girl gone bad.

cleavage - check

fierce fur - check

red pouty lips - check

gun - check


Again nothing fancy at all

t-shirt - Threadless
leather jacket - MNG
semi-wet leggings - supre
Boots - Novo

strive

We strive to be harder, better, faster, stronger
(yeah, daft punk style)

so when do we know we achieve what we strive for?

Well I'm 21, still striving.

Home

Project 52, Week 22, 24th - 30th Aug

Been spending time with so many people from home coming over to Melbourne the last two weeks, Pushparatnam, Jiat, Ai-Lynn, Tim, Audrey.. it reminds me that home were never that far away. Or more like, they haven't forget me yet. haha

This kangaroo remind me of Aussie. Whatever random reasons it is.

Yup, I'm going to leave my post hanging.

Paddlepop

Remember those hot sweaty days and you have the creamy Paddlepop?

me: I look like a Paddlepop ice-cream today.
epf: I'm not going to lick you.

Damn layan me. shesh.

Paddlepop top - Supre ($3.75 only!)
Faux denim legging - Supre
and yes, I love Supre.

Visits

Project 52, Week 21, 17th - 23rd Aug

Sometimes, I don't know why I still do this Project 52... Well easier than Project 365! So I'm not giving up.


One thing I really loves is when friends come visit Melbourne! It remind me why I miss Malaysia so much, because everyone I know is back home. (ok.. fine half of my closest friends are all around the world.) I had some good Pushparatnam time. haha

and this little she bird told me that we know we will all be alright and cool. We are definitely not naive then :)

opinions

I think I'm too opinionated for my own good sometimes.

Either that, or the way I look at things is a little too odd.

Well, like I always say 'if you have it, flaunt it.'

Stripe

I think I'm running out of things to blogs (happen all the times)
Honestly, you wouldn't want to read about my complains about school
or my random, undecipherable blog post
or whatever I do everyday (actually it's the same thing, I tried to look exciting)

so this is the best for now!
All dressed up for last Sat

White Stripe Top - Supre
Black Tube - ??
Waist Clincher - Sunway Pyramid
Semi-wet Legging - Supre
Boots - Novo

I think I'm trying to convince myself by typing more, I won't seems so narcissistic.

sunrise

Project 52, Week 20, 10th - 16th Aug

Stayed awake the whole Thursday night in a sorta dodgy diner and went to watch sunrise in St. Kilda beach with another 3 random girls (Emily, Su Lynn and Janice). Funny thing is the sun rises the other side though. haha

Life is about doing random things, in my honest opinion.

checkers

Guess how much my top and bottom is?

Black tank top - Bridge Road
Checker leggings - Supre
Boots - Swanston St.

Both is freaking $5! Ok.. the top is a year old.
and the leggings, it's freaking original price was $35

I got a few comments from the guys today.

Kit: You look like clown, with your socks.
Matt: Are you wearing something like boxer?

postcard

Project 52, Week 19, 3rd - 9th Aug

My weak attempt for my assignment. After 112904829384 of drawings, finally I shot it and get rejected again. :( I swear if I have to do another postcard in my life, I will tear it apart. haha

oh, I did get another one that need postcard design.

watch

watching your roses wilting,

watching your favourite teddy bear getting ratty,

watching it all going down the drain.

Experimental

my sort of 'experimental' style today .. and none of them is new!

Leather Jacket - MNG
Checker Shirt - Boyfriend's one
Waist Clincher - She Bop Online
Short - Random Sg Wang shop
Sheer stocking - Rubi
Boots - Novo

Not very experimental, I know. Will try more.

ps, see May! I promise you I post it up :P

abandon

I'm not going to abandon my Project 52. hah.

Project 52, Week 17, 20th -27th July


This is for last week. haha Went up to Mount Dandenong again and finally had scones!


Project 52, Week 18, 28th July -2nd Aug


Bought for one of my subject. I'm struggling to draw. Everyone is born to draw righttt?

p.s this is weird both taken by iPhone but the sharpie one is so blur :(

fire.

If there's no fire
no matter how you try
it wouldn't burn.

blues

In order to cure my winter blues, I will post up 12 things that can possibly cure my winter blues.

Why 12? Don't ask. Seems appropriate.

Winter blues killer #1.


Awesome 0.5liter Mango Beer from Lowenbrau, Sydney.
I will die for a glass now. (not literally.)

Sure

How can we be sure of something?

I'm starting to be unsure of being sure.


To illustrate my confusion. Oh, it's my favourite outfit too.

Favorite white loose top
Favourite leggings
Favourite boots
Unfavourite mind.

Sem 2

I was rather excited to see what the next 3 months is about.

It's going to be different right? or so I told myself.

It's weird making decisions which are not meant for me to make.

Sydney

Project 52, Week 16, 13th -19th July

Another city conquered. Many more to go.


I love beers from Sydney.
