I Be Snoozing.

Who stole my minteks?!
top + scarf, Chatuchak in Bangkok;
earrings, sevendays in Bangsar;
necklace, vintage in Bangkok;
footless grey tights, Topshop;
electric blue heels, Aldo.

My alarm tone on my phone is Colbie Caillat’s Bubbly.
It’s a nice fuzzy song to wake up to.
It’s also the kind of song that makes you think, yum more sleep and cuddles! and snooze banyak kali.

Earlier this week, Adlin asked around who wanted to interview Colbie.
Silence for few seconds as everyone kept quiet.

Then my hand shot up and i started jumping around,  “Ooh, me! Me… Me!”

So not maintaining. -_-

I’m not like, celeb-struck or anything.
I just super adore her  song and it’s been my anthem for the past four months.

I is bag lady.

What’s on the Corner, Little Jack Horner?

Smack in the heart of KL, is one of the busiest roads in the city.
And on this bustling road, is a corner.
And a very spacious corner it is too.
And on this corner, cordoned off in bright red, is an area in construction.

If you’re driving along Jalan Bukit Bintang, it’d be hard to miss it as the lipstick red stands out starkly in the bright afternoon sun with the words STYLO on it in caps.

Stylo Fashion Cube, Pavilion

Behold Malaysia’s first Fashion Cube!
Well, incomplete Fashion Cube, but one in the making nevertheless.

Taking after the trend of fabulous fashion cubes in Melbourne, Milan, Paris and New York, I figure they’re trying to reenact the glitz and glamour of the fashion shows there.

Stylo Fashion Cube, Pavilion
It’s to have a 20-metre runway in the middle with a seating capacity of 400 people. And not just typical seats, but tiered ones. (read: no more cursing and craning of necks only to get 3-second glimpses)

The cube’s to be completed in time for Stylo KL Fashion Festival (15-23 March 2008), which is also in conjunction with the 10th F1 celebration in KL.

Reported earlier this month in the NST, they stated Datuk Nancy Yeoh proclaiming that this will not be an ordinary show.

From the NST (link) – “There will be no traders, buyers or the latest collections paraded on the runways. Instead, there will be entertainment, celebrities and the who’s-who of the city’s social circuit having the time of their lives. Fashion is just another excuse to party.”

Yeah we’ve heard it all before, but we have to give it to her for simply declaring that fashion’s just another excuse to party. You can’t hate her for being honest.

The Star also did a write-up on it today *here*

The slew of fashion shows kick off this Saturday with a collaboration between L’Oréal Professionnel, Shu Uemura, and quirky designer Melinda Looi.

A week straight of fashion shows.
Day and night.
Involving brands and designers the likes of Michael Ong, Tom Abang Saufi, Jendela Batik, Edric Ong, Rizalman Ibrahim, Ben di Lisi, Mercedes-Benz, MasterCard Worldwide, Pernod Ricard, Corum Swiss Timepieces, Hilton Kuala Lumpur, BritishIndia and others.

I was trying to have an air of nonchalance concerning it, then others have been asking/msning me online whether i’m going, making me excited as well >.<

******************

Went to the Anya Hindmarch fashion show at Pavilion just now.
Everyone was in pretty subdued and safe colours… except for SluttyShah.

The boy popped in (welcoming) colour like a jellybean *munch*

SluttyShah

Green cardi, MNG;
striped tie, a. testoni;
shirt, M&S;
belt + jeans, Topman;
shoes, Converse;
bag, olde D&G

And his partners in crime…

FaiTheMai Turned 25, Eyelashes, a Superstar & a Baby.

This post is a lot of randomness thrown in Laughing

FaiTheMai threw a bbq at his house last Friday for his birthday Happy

FaiTheMai turned 25
Ash is right. We never can take a decent picture together -_-

When i arrived, QueenKanch happily wrote on my cup for me, as to mark whose is whose (read: shortage of cups).

FaiTheMai turned 25
Had to la, Kanch Whatevah

As i was eating, i saw a strange phenomenon right before my eyes.
A child.
Sitting.
On QueenKanch’s lap.

Kanch hates kids.

She says abominable things such as, “If i have two children, of course i’d layan the prettier one more,” and “Of course i’ll have children, they’re an investment.”
To which Ash will beg her not to have kids while i choke with laughter.

So there she was. With a kid on her lap.
And she was teaching her how to read *faints*

Kanch: No, read it again. You’re not listening to me. If you don’t get it right we’re not going to the next page.

Lareyna squirmed on Kanch’s lap, but i must say Kanch was very patient and gentle.
Her maternal instincts (for investment konon -_-) peeking through. Eek!

FaiTheMai turned 25
Tried getting a picture and Kanch kept hiding. Whatever Kanch. The picture is going up, blur or not blur.

Went for the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2007 Nominees party in Alexis, Gardens, last night.
You can view the nominee list *here*

QueenKanch alerted me to new arrival of Shu Uemura eyelashes at their 1U outlet so i went to buy them last week.
The orange ones aren’t new, but they’ve been out of stock for ages. The other new ones are pastel or have flowers on them which do not tickle my fancy… so i just got their black ones.

Shu Uemura Falsies

“They’re weird… 0_o”
“I know! Can’t wait to wear them!”

Also tried new eyelashes from Callas.

Callas Falsies

Thanks to Lynn Dhia Aw who arranged for them to be sponsored.
Sorry some are missing… in midst of using them already Blush

My superstar friend.

Superstar Mei Ling. Didn’t you know she’s in town?
In Basil having soup on Saturday.
***************

Okay damn random, i know.
Was surfing through FoxyLisa’s Facebook and she put her only activity as: feeding Claire…

!!!

I believe in fairies!

Doesn’t she looks so different already from my last post on her?

Awww…

The last time we met up with FoxyLisa, i passed LilClaire’s Christmas pressie to her.
FoxyLisa: Oh, Loke Cheng says no fairy presents.
Me: Too late! Laughing *whips present out*

Okay. Must sleep. TA!

 

More Then Black, Please!

When i came back from Vietnam, i noticed Aldo having some huge sale.
Omg. I’m not a sucker for Aldo shoes on full price, i rarely allow myself them, but on sale, it’s all, “Hey! Damn value! All good to go!”

I’ve been having my eye on these mesh pair for ages, waiting for them to go on sale.
And when i noticed they did, the white ones sold out already. Dammit.
So i bought the black ones cos they’re still bloody nice at any rate.

Mesh heels
Down to only RM210

As i trotted to Somo in them with my brother, NickIsTaller, i chatted rubbish as how you can do to someone who has no choice but to love you.

“Look. LOOK!” i put a foot up, “My new shoes!”
“… oh nice. Black.”
“Black?!”
“Yeah… nice wut. Black.”

They’re not just black!

They’ve got 1-inch on the front sole!

Peep-toe slingbacks!

It’s mesh!

And delicate flattering mesh it is too.

With 4-inch wooden soles.

Nice and black?

“Can die wei you describe it like that -_-”

I think you guys need to compliment shoes in a more detailed manner.

 

A New Do. Again.

I went to get my hair done again today. By Milcah, of course.
QubeAshley did my brother’s hair.

I wolfed down rice and chicken curry before telling my brother that i just have to pop upstairs to do my makeup and change first.
“Why?” his rational tone broke out, “We’re just going to do our hair -_-”
“… True also. Okay dunnit!”

So we just ran out of the house and headed to Plaza Damas.
There was a terrific jam  outside Hartamas today… don’t know why.

After dyeing and washing my hair, MilcahG picked up her scissors.
“So… what are you going to do this time?”
She hmm-ed and cut away.
0_o Okay la. Trust the woman.

Instead of my layered rock cut, she changed it to something simpler.
At least it’s different from all the concaves and Rihanna’s and Paris’ i’ve been seeing people sporting. Sien.

“It’s very eighties now, you see,” she deftly blew-dry it and used her hands to mold, “It’s more slick. You can still funk it up if you want, but at least you can have it this way too.”
“I look like a boy.”
“At least you can carry this off okay, not everyone has a round head like you,” she tapped the back of my head.
“Okay okay, i like it la Winky “

Now i’m thinking what clothes to go with this style already Laughing

I think it’s about time i start work.
By being (pretty darn) free and window-shopping in between meetings, i’ve acquired new hair products (from the wholesaler’s in Sungai Wang. Cheaper!), Shu Uemura eyelashes, MAC makeup, Aldo shoes and sunglasses Whatevah

I think i spent less money when i was away on holiday Whatevah
