Thank you to Style mag, Women’s Weekly, and Lipstiq!

Pick up this month’s issue of Style mag to view some of my thoughts on this season’s trends and whether they’re viable or not! Style is one of my fave fashion mags in KL – they always have beautifully-done editorials and great layouts for easy fashion scanning.

And thanks to Lipstiq for posting up an interview with me just today!

My hula hoop is famous!!!

Thanks to photographer Wan, Juice mag and Heineken for such a great shot of me

My hula hoop is a present from Yishyene, and my dress was self-designed (sorry i only made one).

This is in a spread for Heineken as they’re throwing a series of parties called Heineken Festive, each celebrating a different party city – Ibiza, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro and New York City. Well, i already went to the Rio de Janeiro one but there are still three more parties you can go for! Click *here* for locations and dates.

Thanks NewMan and ViVi!

Thanks to NewMan for featuring me on the cover of their Sept issue!

I’m wearing an Elizabeth & James dress their stylist provided, and my Topshop wedges my awesome friends gave me for my birthday this year.

Also, thanks to ViVi mag for featuring me in their July issue (okay, i know that’s two months ago. I’m really not the best at keeping up with this!)

 

 

It’s GOOD to be home!

Admittedly, i’ve been back home in Malaysia for a few days now. (As for my travel posts, don’t worry, they will still continue to be posted!) I got over my jet lag in a day and spent the next few days running errands, getting my hair done for upcoming shoots, and just… getting into the groove back at home! Seven weeks was long enough for me to really look forward to coming home at the end of it, and i also missed Clem a lot! I was telling him how much i love Sweden, and how i hope to visit Helsinki next time. “Next time? There is no next time!” he said. Haha. Well it won’t be as LONG next time but there will never stop being ‘next times’

Sorry i haven’t been posting. I just didn’t feel like touching my laptop after it being my constant companion for weeks. Like someone mentioned, i had to take a holiday from my holiday.

BTW, i’ve been nominated for the NewMan Creative Pioneer Awards in the New Media category. Yay! Thanks… it’s an honor to be recognized (feels weird saying that!) for blogging!

If you read my blog, be nice and do me the favor of LIKING my picture on their FB album *HERE*

THANKS! HEH

Today’s episode is brought to you by the letter R

R is for Red FM

I had an afternoon radio interview with Red FM last week, thanks to my being one of the finalists for the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards (which is happening this Friday!) I haven’t been on radio for awhile, but didn’t exactly have the time to be nervous cos i was so busy. Turned out to be incredibly fun, i don’t think i’ve had a more FUN radio interview! There didn’t seem to be enough time to say everything we wanted to talk about, and Linora and i looked like we could go on for a loooonggg time.

I just had to put up this picture cos i have such a great geek grin in it

I’m wearing silver slip and leggings from Topshop, and sheer shirt from Azorias.

With Linora of Red RM. She’s super chirpy and loud and oh, if i had to be that energetic every single afternoon i’d need lots and lots of caffeine.

With Nash and Pei Yi. Nash said he’s been reading my blog since 2006! How awesome is that!

R is for Rodial

Rodial is a dermatologically-tested skincare range that offers an alternative to cosmetic surgery and injections. It might pique your interest to know that it’s been used by celebs like Victoria Beckham, Beyonce, Angeline Jolie and Sarah Jessica Parker!

The brand just opened an outlet in BSC where they also carry out facials, and invited me over to test out their range. I declined the facial because i was too busy (i know right, who turns down a free facial!) but i did go home with two products courtesy of Rodial:

Glam Balm™, RM250
Rodials’ Glam Balm™ is said to be the cult product that can be used for face, lips, hands and even hair ends. Containing myrrh extract and Vitamin C, it plumps up collagen and smooths out wrinkles. It can be applied every night as an intensive treatment for 4 weeks, in flights, or even as after-sun treatment.

Stretch MX, RM310
This complex formula of fruit actives and scientific peptides helps fade the appearance of stretch marks and strengthens the dermal layer with collagen.

You can view the entire range of skin, body and bath care products on www.rodial.com.my.

To test the products in person; there’s a Rodial counter in Robinsons, Gardens Mid Valley, and an outlet upstairs at BSC.

R is for Reindeer

During a random chat with Cammy, she sent me an image of the CUTEST reindeer for sale in GE Mall. She was buying it for her boss to put in their office and i impulsively asked her to get one for me too, seeing i was meeting her later for dinner.

When i went to get it from her car that night, i was stunned to see how FREAKING BIG the reindeer was!
Me: “OH MY GOD! It’s so big!!! …. … Clem is going to kill me.”
Cammy: “Didn’t you see the picture i sent you… there were little christmas trees NEXT to it.”

I checked the picture she sent, which was taken from a high angle so the reindeer looked a LOT shorter then. And no, i did not see the little christmas trees next to it cos they were SO little i could barely see they were trees! I thought they were just… something on the ground.

Clem was outstation for work so i didn’t have to tell him about my giant purchase… yet. Aps thought i should put the reindeer (which i named Alfred btw) right next to him while he sleeps so he’d wonder what was this THING doing next to him when he woke up. But plotting to hide and put a reindeer next to him was too much effort, what with the little sleep i was getting myself last week.

So i decided to place it in the shower of our spare bathroom. And forgot about it. Till he came home, found it and shouted, “Putain! What the fuck is this!?”
