What a year, 2014!

2014 has been a tragic year for Malaysia. The great mystery of #MH370, #MH17 shot down over Ukraine and the recent #QZ8501 crash. Not only that, northern states of Malaysia is flooded. The worst ever in years. I wish for a better year for Malaysia. 

Personally, I started 2014 unhappy. I was watching the fireworks with someone i didnt love, my girlfriends were all over the city, my siblings celebrating with their own families and my parents were out partying with their friends. I had an amazing 2013 and i wasnt going to let the first day of 2014 bring me down to a potentially good year. I had a rough 1st and 2nd quarter but everything picked up right after! I graduated!!! I fell in love with futsal, became closer with my girlfriends, a new job and got with an amazing guy. My family is healthy and strong. I cant ask for more. 

Looking forward to 2015. 2015 is about career, health and working on my relationship. Here is hoping and praying that 2015 will bring better luck, happiness and health.

He made it official

Nothing says love in this modern world by a man who believes that a healthy relationship is no sign of it on facebook by changing his Facebook status to In a Relationship. Now its that awkward conversation in firguring out what date we started dating. Month - check. Date - ? 

#DONE

Coral Nails

After a stressful and mentally draining week being able to just sit down at 2.16pm on Monday (!!!! Monday!!!) is... blissful! I never fully understood that word until now. After i write this blog post, i am going to assemble lego minifigures (Ironman and Captain America FTW) and munch on Honey Soy Chicken potato chips! And, most probably watch a movie. On a freaking MONDAY afternoon.

1. Quick run to the beach.
2. Us looking reallllly dapper at Don's brother's weddings
3. Proof to how sunny it is here, im overdosed on the sun.
4. Kay and Don before running errands. 

Blood is thicker than water.

We clicked for our mutual love of being active. We clicked because you were genuine and i like being around you. We clicked because we shared a mutual hate/dislike for the same people. We clicked because whenever we were homesick, we would talk about the food we missed. We clicked because we constantly found things to do. We clicked because we could talk for hours about everything. We clicked because you always listened to both side of the stories whenever ‘we’ fought and somehow felt like you picked my side. We clicked because our desire to be fit lost to our desire to eat. We clicked because you loved life as much as I do. We clicked because ‘adventures’ were part of our life motto.

Whenever i think of Perth i associate it with you and Faldo. Most of my Perth adventures was with you. I thought we formed a friendship that could survive despite what happened. I was foolish and naive. Blood is thicker than water. 

ALBANY, WA

To happiness!

DON in KL

Don came over to KL a week ago to see me!!! It was his first time in KL and i had the best time taking him places, letting him eat my favourite foods and meeting my people. It felt so nice to be in my baby's arms again and just do boyfriend-girlfriend things. 

Malaysian food is about spices, heat and rice. I was really surprised and very pleased that Don can handle the food! I am not being bias but Malaysia is about FOOD. And we have good food. We had Nirwana, Berjaya, Sri Pandi, Fatty Crab, Sambal Hijau to name a few. I forget that Don is a big guy and eats double of what i eat. So we ate alot...ALOT. I had tummy aches the whole time he was here from overeating. *Sad face*

Hey stranger

How are you doing? Its so weird addressing you in general. We havent spoken in months nor have i seen a single impression of you on social media. Given that you blocked me off all social media, after our last conversation. I felt pretty safe, leading life on my social media. It was until I was in my 2nd instagram account when i stumbled across your photo. You forgot that account. When i scrolled past your photo, my heart skipped a beat. Wow. It's you. I felt this overwhelming feeling of...sadness.

Its okay to want.

I am driven by goals. By achievements. By excel sheets and everything black and white. I can be a little straight. But! haha, if the rules and regulations dont go my way, i will work my way around it. I have a life plan and know what i want.

Had a very interesting conversation with my brother the other day. I hardly get to hang out with my brother - him having a VERY active 19months baby girl and recently a new baby boy. He is busy with work, tired and overwhelmed with two babies in the house.

We were in the car on the way home and he asked me.

4 Ways On How To Stay In A Relationship With Yourself Whilst Being In A Relationship.

People are creatures of habit. We wake up, have breakfast, go to work, go home, have dinner, sleep and repeat. Same like relationships – as much as we don’t want to admit this, there is that one relationship in our lifetime, where we stay a little too long because we are comfortable. It might be hard to admit, but at some point of your relationship, you and your significant other have form a habit/routine together - order the same takeout every day, watch a movie on the same day of the every week, sex in the same position and get caught up in the bubble that you forget that you are moving into the danger zone = settling. Settling means no good. No good for you. 

1. Establish what you want from the beginning.

This is probably going to be a very hard thing to do. Especially when you are up on cloud 9 in love with your significant other.  I think this is where most couple struggle doing - establishing what they want from the relationship. It can be as simple as sex, attention, companionship, marriage and etc. When you get down from your cloud 9 - have a conversation with your partner about your future plans, your beliefs, your family traditions or your views on the Kardashians/Honey Boo Boo. When you know what you want, this will set the foundation of your relationship.

2. Don’t go with the flow.

Again, people have a habit of going with the flow. When the flow doesn’t go where we want it to, we blame it on #life. You set your flow. You set your own path. If you don’t like your current path, change it. It’s fine to include your partner in it, but don’t set your pace to his. You shouldn’t be with anyone who holds you back. Relationships are selfish. You take what you need from your partner and vice versa. Don’t get sucked into it. You look after your own happiness. 

3. Listen and Look.

Love is blind. Listen to the people around you. They see it. You don't. If your family isn't keen on your current boyfriend, there is a reason why and it's best you talk to them. Your friends can't stand being around your S.O, something is seriously wrong. Or are always asking you when are you dumping this guy? Are you are still seeing him? Don't you think you can do so much better? Don't hate them for it. Question it! Ask why they are saying these things. It can be a little hard to listen to love ones when they hate on your S.O. It can come off as they are not supporting you but try to take a step back and think about it. 

Look at how he treats the women in his life. Mother. Sisters. Girlfriends. His relationship with his the important women in his life will be the same way he treats you. If he is screaming and talking down to his mother, say bye bye now. 

4. Don’t Wait

Your dreams/adventures/inspirations/goals are yours. Don’t sacrifice something just because your S.O isn’t happy with it or keen on doing. You want to go on that trip with your girlfriends and your S.O is giving you a hard time about it. You love watching horror films in the cinema and your S.O is not a fan of horror films. Find someone else to watch it with you or watch it yourself. There are options. Talk it out, if you guys can’t compromise something... That should be a red flag for you. Also, be more proactive with yourself! It’s totally fine to test your relationship in the early stages. Go on a holiday early in the relationship, if you guys can go through 5 days with each other 24/7 without fighting. You guys are gold.

Remember, you only accept the love you think you deserve. If you think you deserve more than you are currently at right now. Go get it! 

the M word

There isnt a day where i go without someone telling me or me finding out on Facebook that omg! Do you know this person?? or that person?? is engaged, getting engaged, having a bachelorette party, getting married, married, pregnant and just had a baby.

It has come to a point where... my highschool friends (Pluto FTW!) created a group on Whatsapp. Whenever we find out someone from school or any mutual friend is in any of the categories above, we would screenshot and share amongst us. I have an embrassing amount of "friends" wedding photos in my phone.

My friends are in the age group (25-30 y/o) where getting married is the next thing. I like you, you like me, we dated for years, so now we get married. Its scary but at the same time, really exciting! Haha! Because... i hang out with different groups of friends on the daily where one group is getting married and the other is...far from the M word or still looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend. My bestfriend is getting married in 4 months! She is the first in my group of girls, so everytime we meet, its all wedding talk. Being a girl, as much as you think you are far from the M word, you cant help but to envision your ~wedding~. After months of talking wedding with my girlfriends and resisting the urge to create my "dream wedding" board on Pinterest, i succumbed to it. This may or may not be a hint to Don: my dream ring is in there. After hours of mindless pinteresting... i realised that, the more i looked at wedding related things, the more i didnt want a wedding.

The whole idea of a big fancy wedding doesnt appeal to me. Inviting 600-700 guests, people you may or may not know... is just... wasteful to me. Spending thousands on a hall, decorations, food and flowers is just....cringeful. I believe that weddings should be an initimate affair celebrated between you and your husband, both families and closest friends. But I want that wall of flowers Kim Kardashian had at her wedding with Kanye for my wedding. I believe in the "symbolic" ideas of a wedding. I care about the ring. My reason, other than marrying the love of your life, your bestfriend for life and etc, the ring is one of the most meaningful gift a man can give to his wife because it represent a new life you are both creating. I care about culture/traditions - families blessings, wearing your grandmother's earrings/neckalace, wearing grandfather's watch, and etc. I care about uniting two families.

Naturally, when wedding bells are ringing, both our best friends are getting in the same month and having conversations like this..

Don: Morning bub, sleep well last night?
Kay: Stayed up Pinteresting my dream wedding

...would lead to us talking about our next thing.

Kay: If we get married, we would have one ceremony here in KL and another one in Perth. Maybe we can have the engagement party in Perth and the wedding here. ...continues talking about weddings. 
Don: hold up girl, you are forgetting something here, *I* have to ask you to marry me first!

Bertuah betul laki ni.

I shall end this post a very appropriate song.

Black Feline

Was told to wear all black on Halloween at work. I have so much black coloured clothes, that i was spoilt for choice on what to wear! So many choices, so little time! After much deliberation, I finally resorted to wearing my cut off shoulder sheer shirt. Pei Yee (my beloved colleague from Zalora and now C27) who sits next o me - said that from the corner of her eyes, it looked like my arms are amputated. -____-" Thanks Pei! 

THANK YOU

I have never been good with receiving compliments. Every time i uploaded a photo on Facebook - whenever someone compliments me.

omg, you look so pretty!

Aww, no lah, its just the filter/camera/angle/position.

CLEAR CANVAS: StriVectin Clinical Corrector Cream (Review)

OKAY

Finally got around to finishing Fault in Our Stars. I knew it was a bawling-your-eyes-out movie and i wasnt ready for it. It took me two tries to finish the movie and i was done. Cried my eyes out and told Don, he is not allowed to get cancer!

MAKE UP 101: HOW LONG DOES YOUR MAKE-UP LAST?

10 things i need to start doing

Sometimes we get so caught up with things around us, that we forget little simple things in life. We go through a monotonous routine without realizing. Today i had a reality hit conversation with my mom that made me re-evaluate some things in my life. I forced myself to sit down and write down what i needed to do for myself. This is just basic daily things i need to remind myself to do. Personally, i think having little reminders like this helps keep you focused and happy. Hopefully by doing the things above, i will lead a more fulfilling life.

6 Tips To Survive A Long Distance Relationship

I have been in more long distance relationships (LDR) than i would like to be in. In fact, all my past relationships had some sort of LDR stint. Whether an ocean in the same country, separated by states or different countries! I am really glad to say that the end of past relationships was never because of distance. *fist pump* Surviving an LDR should be an achievement.

I won't lie, being in an LDR is challenging. It takes hard work, a lot of patience and perseverance, but at the end of the day, if you and your partner are committed to working and developing your relationship. IT WILL BE WORTH IT! I had my frustrations and outbursts when i miss Don so much that, saying i miss you isn't enough or having a feeling of wanting to drop everything and be with him. I promised myself to not get in an LDR again. Done with it! No more! but heh... LOVE! Look at me now, writing an article on LDRs. I am not going to go through trust, love and issues in a relationship. If you are in a relationship, that's pretty much the fundamentals of being in a relationship. LOVE and TRUST. But these two key points play important roles in LDR. You have to love and trust your partner fully to be in LDR (i will elaborate this more in coming posts). 

Here are my tips based on Khaira's experience on surviving an LDR.

TEAM #MK

Been feeling off lately, nothing major, just a little off. Like i needed a pick me up or do something for myself. Its funny because work has been good, my weekly activities has been great (winning at futsal, how can that not be good???), family is good and healthy and girlfriends/relationship have been good as well. I had no reason to feel off, but felt sooo shitty, crappy, emotional and needy. At first, i thought i was going through PMS but no, this is a whole different level of PMS. Then i thought... I am a girl, i dont need to justify WHY i am feeling all of the above unless... people around me are complaining (i hope not). Don told me to do something soulful for myself. Like yoga or tai chi -_-" i told him... ice-creams are good for the souls. It was his turn to -_-" 

Screw diets (for now) I got my long-craved coconut gula melaka (brown sugar) gelato!!!! i swear to god, it is sooooo good. #sogood 

Ice-creams are the best mood swings killer.

SO MUCH PAIN

The minute i got back from Perth, i went on a futsal binge! Three weeks of being away from my favourite sport, it really did feel good to be back with the boys.

1. Third place for FKS league Season 1 week 10. We played the big fifa court and i was a confused girl.
2. Second place for Apeng's Insanity special. This is where we play 3 games back to back.
3. First place for Thethursdaykick All girls Sunday Special.
4. Did my first handstand and it felt amazing! Didnt feel so amazing the next few days, but really happy!
5. A bunch of mid-20s to late-20s playing against 20 year olds... FKS league vs SholleyFC. EVERYONE in the picture was flat after our games. They are physically fitter than us and definitely have more energy. KIDS! FKS didnt make it to the top 3, haha! Best part about this game was i got best female player and won socks.
6. First place for Apeng's Hari Raya Haji special! - Been playing with them on and off for almost a year and this is my 3rd win with them. #somuchwin

After days of continously playing, you are more proned to injures :( and when you are getting older, your body doesnt recover as fast. I am hoping i can keep this wininng streak for a while, hehe!

Jalan Alor

OHSHITmoment!

I think every girl has this sentimental part in her where she likes to keep her girlfriends, boyfriend, family and things they love close to her. 

My girlfriends and i have been friends since primary school. We were close, but it was one small incident that happened on June 15th 2005 that made us even closer. Since then we called each other the "circle" and when we turned 21, we decided to get a necklace to represent our friendship in a circle symbol. BUT of course, girls being girls... we couldnt decide on a single design, hahaha! So i decided to just get my own necklace to represent my forever girls. 

I got a cliche initial necklace to represent Don and i. Got a significance amount of teasing from my friends for wearing that necklace but hey, i like it, screw you guys! 

The earrings i am wearing in the picture above were from my parents for my first graduation present. I say first because i have been to THREE graduation ceremonies!  I was pleasantly surprised when my mom told me that she was going to buy me diamond earrings because i survived 3 years in Melaka (think city girl who has never been away from home thrown into Malay government university 2 hours from home) without complaining. Ever since i got them, i have been wearing them almost every day... 

I had an OHSHITFUCK moment with these earrings in Perth. Don and i were watching TV and i dont know, i just had this feeling to touch my ears. OHSHITFUCK, my left side earring was missing!!!! I panicked and had a thousand thoughts going through my mind... omg omg how the hell am i going to find my earring???? its like a needle in a haystack in house!! why are the floors freaking carpeted!?! omg what happens if it dropped in the shower?!?!? and went down the drain!?!!?!! 

After minutes of frantic searching, we found it in the shower!!!!! The scariest part about the situation was.. I had my shower first. Then Don had his... it could have washed away with his shower water...into the drain *horror* I was so overwhelmed with emotionS that I broke down crying. Don had to make me chamomile tea to calm me down and gave me tight cuddles. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: LISTEN TO YOUR MOM WHEN SHE SAYS TAKE OUT YOUR JEWELRIES BEFORE YOU SHOWER. 

SLEEP MORE

A quick one before i have to eat and get ready for futsal!!!! I arrived KL three days ago and getting back into my routine. I start a new-ish job next week, my schedule is pretty free, so i am soaking up whatever free time i have before i become a slave to 9-5. In my case... 10-6! 

Yesterday i met up with Azian at Publika for brunch. Publika's parking lot is the ONLY parking lot i get lost at. I have been there so many times, i walk back to my car the same way i came in, i always get lost and cant find my car. Publika's parking lot system is so confusing!!! Sometimes...i valet park because i cant be bothered to go through the frustration of losing my car. So, today (honestly... i dont know why i never did this before) i took a picture of my location. Found my way back. >.<

Its so nice to talk to Azian in person, we are constantly talking to each other on Whatsapp - sending random pictures of cats, handbags, baby updates, screenshots of things and etc. She is the one person i talk to every day and it feels odd if i dont hear from her for a few hours. 

Azian was craving for pancakes - so we went to Red Bean Bag! I had Cheese on Portobello mushroom on pancakes with poached eggs and tomato chutney. SOOOI GOOOD! One of the best meals i had in a while where i was thoroughly enjoying my meal without feeling full after a few bites. #sogood 

Right after Publika, i went to BSC to meet up with Rudy and Hurriyah at La Bodega. I ordered a hot mocha. It was gross and overly sweet. Naturally, food/drinks i cant finish i would pass it to the next person to me = Rudy, even he couldn't finish it. When the bill came...the mocha was RM17!!!!! Rudy looked at me and said, "You better finish it!" I had to scull the mocha :( and chase it with water. Yuck! No more Mochas from La Bodega. I had time to kill, decided to go to Digital Mall to find out how much does it cost to upgrade my mac. Don has been breathing down my back and complaining how slow my laptop is. "Its frustrates me that you tolerate how slow your computer is!!" I didnt notice my laptop is slow until he was on it and gave me a list of things i needed to upgrade. RM700 is how much it cost to upgrade. Not including a 24" screen i want to get so i can watch my tv series/movies while i do my work. #technerd I swear, everytime i go into Digital Mall, i want things i dont need - Photo-printer, MP4, selfie tripod, pink mouse, pink power bank and etc.

After Digital Mall, i wanted to go to Fuel Athletics to renew my membership, but thought i could do with a cup of peppermint tea first and sat at Mollydookers. Managed to get some work done as well, replied a few emails and whatsapp messages. Didnt need to go to FA because FA came to me! Haha, while doing some editing, Matin (Head Coach) came in Mollys for his coffee fix and sat down with me. #1 They are opening a bigger gym! #2 Made me download an app (Myfitnesspal) after I told him how much chocolates and timtams i ate in Perth and #3 forced me to go for class on Monday. Ill be going on a futsal binge after 3 weeks of "resting" my sprained ankle this weekend. Watch out for #sorebody tweets this weekend. 

Wore my brogues, havent worn these babies in such a long time. Many kisses and hugs to Don's housemate who got me sockets - which are below-the-ankle socks. Definitely made it more comfortable and easier to wear my brogues out. If you can see the white thing on my left foot, those are the sockets. Love them!

Got home, had super early dinner (530pm!) with my parents, niece came over, played tea time with her and got bored. I told myself i would be the "cool, hip, young" aunty but i am turning to be the opposite! My sister is the cool, hip, not-young aunty!! Whenever she drops her toys, i will give her a stern look and make baby-friendly scolding sounds, oh boy... get ready for ear plugs. Gave her a big squeeze goodbye and went off to get my measurements done for my bridesmaid outfit for Laila's wedding. Her wedding is in February and i told her i cannot guarantee that i will maintain this weight until then. 

Rushed to Helium & Konfetti's HQ (Haha!) to see Nash to discuss wedding details, while Laila talked about her colour themes, the invitations design, door gifts, (hot) photographers, wedding halls and etc, Nash and I were...astounded by wedding costs. Kahwin di masjid je la. Kena set up tabung kahwin sekarang, kalau nak kahwin in 10 years. #badjoke #tilljannah <- bahahahahaha! i crack up whenever i see couples hashtagging that.

Got home close to 2am, brushed my teeth, washed my face and straight to bed for 8am dentist appointment the next day. Mental note to myself to never set a dentist appointment at 8am EVER again. In my state of drowsiness, i told the doctor the wrong side of my toothache which lead to taking a wrong x-ray which means...... i have to go again on Monday!

DAVIES GROUND

Back with another coffee post! Davies Ground is just a short walk up from Don's place. It a small cafe decorated with stag antlers, wooden floors, stag chandeliers, good coffee and nice baristas. Don is such a people person, he doesn't talk about the coffee first but he raves about the people working there! That guy is such a lad! The barista is such a young hipster (in a good way, of course!) Every morning after breakfast, we would collect coins around the house, walk over and get a coffee each. I think we tried everything on the coffee menu between the both of us. Their mochas are my favourite! Picture above was my first time trying/loving it, only to have it finished off by Don :( 

My LCA has been getting a lot of love and i shot 4 (or maybe 5-6) rolls of nonsense. Cant wait to send them for developing. I dont know about other LCA+ users, after reading (horror) reviews and stories about films coming out blank, i change my batteries every two rolls. Mentioned this to another film loving friend, he called me a freak. Hey, after this happening... I want to make sure my photos come out. 

DAILY COFFEE

Don is a heavy coffee drinker while i am not. I like going to cafes to look at their interior designs and take pictures of them. So this works well for the both of us. The Daily in Swanbourne has a wall of raw bricks at the corner of their shop. I LOVE! Something about brick walls reminds me of my childhood and i find it very comforting. I am caffeine sensitive, one cup of coffee after 4pm, i will be wide awake until 4am.

My tolerance/love for coffee started when i started hanging out with Don. After class, we would go down to a cafe and catch up with our classmates over coffee. I got sick of drinking hot chocolate after a while and decided to just try a latte. i was hooked! I evolved from hot chocolate with soy milk to mocha to flat white and now black coffee with milk. My tolerance is getting way better, I now need (good) coffee in the morning to function better.

Happy Malaysia Day! 

SUNDAY

Last Sunday, while editing on the post below, Don sitting across me working on his assignment, looked up and announced "Its sunday! Lets go to the beach and have an afternoon drink!" I hate leaving things half way but i am a sucker for beaches, off we went! 

Such a lovely day, it was sunny and windy. I forget how much Perth has to offer. I didnt take much photos of the beach (like i usually would) because #1 Don and i were having a conversation about start ups/businesses and nerdy stuffs and #2 The sun was so bright, i was wearing dark sunglasses, my iphone screen was too dark, it was too much effort to take 'artistic' photos. There i said it! i get lazy sometimes to get take photos. 

Here is a cheesy photo of Donny and I. I got asked if Don is really his name. No its not, it just a nickname he gave himself after Don Draper from Mad Men. He is a good guy, pushing me to go over my limits, good and bad. 

Wearing Mac's Rebel to give a pop of colour to my usual black and white outfit. Havent worn this lipstick in a loooong time, i love the berry maroon-ish colour. Rebel is a satin finish, dont wear it if you plan on kissing your boyfriend. Unless you want to make your mark on your man to shoo off other girls! I am also wearing Tarte's amazonian 12-hour blush in Natural Beauty - love this blush as well.

Sundays are supposed to be doing things you love with the people you love!

HALF A DOZEN IN PERTH

1. Khaira and Faldo back in Perth together again! #Perthie
2. Don made me coffee with his own coffee art. Priceless. <3
3. Playing Destiny - I am a loyal Iphone gamer and slowly converting to PS.
4. 60% annoying 40% loving  = Don
5. Spring is out and so are our matching (not really) converse.
6. Made chicken noodles (Bihun sup) for dinner, i have to say, it was pretty good. Probably one of my best attempts!

Cows and Flowers

Long time no post, sorry! Family came down for my graduation and was spending time with them before they headed back home. Don took me for a short trip down south, he warned me there will be no screens and no internet for a couple of days. I thought i'd outsmart him by topping up my phone with extra data and credit only to find out on the way...i used up all my phone data and credit!!!!! I had to beg him to let me use his phone to check my Instagram and Facebook. When we got back to the city and my phone got data, had over 700 messages flooding in. Don gets shitty because i am always on my phone (messaging people, playing games, taking photos, surfing the net) and one morning, I forgot to switch off my 7am work alarm, it woke him up. The man was not pleased! 

In light of things, i do appreciate some time off social media and appreciate other things like, long walks, look at cows, take photos in a garden of flowers and catch up with movies.

Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner (Review)

I am back in PERTH! I was hoping it would warm up by the time i get here, sadly, it is still chilly! Im no good with cold. This is my graduation trip/short holiday to see friends and spend some time with my Donny. I thought when i get here, i would go crazy Instagram-ing pictures of what i have been doing, i don't feel like sharing any of those "moments" because i want to be in the "moment".  Like picking up coffee, walk in the park, swinging on swings and etc.  Also, i don't really care for my phone as much because my family and girlfriends know where i am and that is enough. GOODNESS! what is happening to me?! Haha! Two days ago, the idea of not having my phone can make me have an anxiety attack! 

Right before i left, i was told that when i get back, i would be writing for a new coloured contact lens company. I am not big on wearing contact lens, come on, putting your finger on your eyeballs...... *cringe* but for research sake, i decided to suck it up and get myself some. Went to the shops and came out with Pure Hazel, Grey and Green coloured contact lenses.  I am wearing green eyes, what do you guys think? It's not green GREEN. But more towards, greenish-brown. 

Alexa Chung is one of my secret fashion icons. She is one of my inspirations for wanting to cut my hair short. She is effortless, stylish, everything works for her! With a handbag named after her (which i secretly wanted as well) and now she collaborated with Eyeko. The sucker in me had to have it!

The Eyeko's eyeliners are sold out in all the Sephoras in Kuala Lumpur ever since it launched a few weeks back. :(  I instragram-ed a picture of me in front of Sephora saying the eyeliners sold out and #eyeko. Eyeko liked my picture!!!! :D #proudmoment I managed to get mine from a dear friend! Thank you Dahlia, i love you! I know i raved about how easy the Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner was to do a winged eye. I think the Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner is much easier. Probably because of its short tip. Its almost pen-like, making it easier to draw. It took me less than 5 minutes to draw both eyes, this is useful for my oh-shit-im-late-for-work moments.

Its carbon black. They stayed on pretty long (7 hours long!) on my lids with a slight smudge at the corners of my eyes, but that happens with all my other eyeliners because i squint a lot. It is definitely waterproof because i had to do dishes after lunch and the three lines are still there. Wear these if you are going to see a sappy love movie. 

Love <3

This is me channeling Alexa Chung. A girl can dream. 

conversations with my Mother

*opening a biscuit pack in front of my mom and eating one*

K: i shouldnt be eating this...but im so hungry and also becoming fat.
M: you are fat.

Love how brutal my mom is!

Circle love!

This coming weekend marks the end of Raya month! It also means...i have been back for two months! (I swear it felt longer than that!) This Raya was bittersweet for me for a few reasons...

1. Its our first raya celebrating with my niece!!!
2. I cut my hair short.
3. I realised that raya food dont appeal to me as it did before :(
4. I dont get duit raya (money) anymore!!!!!!

But the sweetest reason why this #Raya2014 is the icing on the cake as compared to previous years...

except Tasha!

THE CIRCLE IS BACK!!!!!! 

My childhood girlfriends are together in one country after 5 years of being apart. There was always one or two people missing each year due to us being away for our education. Its so good to be together again, hang out and be silly. Our conversations has evolved from "What are we going to do after school? What are we doing Friday night? Are we going to Changkat? Who is going to MK? (our inside joke) When do you leave to UK/Australia? When are you coming back? When do you start work? Do you want to meet up after work for coffee?" to "Guys! I want a baby!" <- this is Mahasin, after seeing Dalily, Tasha's SUPER cute baby girl. that is pretty much everyone's reaction after seeing Dalily!

We are a fun bunch
