Brokenhearted - Karmin

We hear everyone say this every Friday, but I'll say it again. TGIF!! It's the weekend again. Is it just me? Or did this week fly by? I'm prepping for exams. So everyday is the same to me. Same old boring routine. But those of you partying tonight, ENJOY!! Again, I'm staying in. Maybe, hopefully, I get to ft the boy. We've been so busy :( Hardly had anytime to chat.

Oh well, what to do??

Good news. I've finalized next semester's subject. Better do it now. I know how busy all the course advisors will be after the exams.

Today was WONDERFUL. I've finally actually left the apartment for more than 2 hours to do something other than head to the gym or to do grocery shopping.

Weather was awesome!

Although it was really sunny, the air was still really chilly. Which is why I don't go out during winter. Basically, my fashion sense goes *poooof* in terms of my daily wear. Of course if I were to go to a function I'd put in some effort. Otherwise, it'll be the ugg boots + hoodie + wool scarf. Not the best look for anyone. But it will do. For now.. Until the 22nd June.

Thank god for oversized sunnies ;)

Ok, I'm not that lifeless. I recently had drinks with my love. Wine and cheese @ Siglo bar. Just like old times. Millie and I used to do wine + cheese night once a week. But since 2012 started, I think we've only done this... 5 times?? Yeah so 5 times since January. Definitely a bummer since its my final year. I was hoping to spend more time with her. But she's been so busy this year it's almost impossible. Sigh.. I miss that.

What I wore:

Well the cheese was on the cheeseboard. But as you can see, its pretty much gone when I took the photo.

Tonight, it's going to be just me and my books. I can already hear people cheering outside :( :( Or maybe someone in my building is having a party. And they've started pretty early too.

Gaaahhh its only been a week and I am getting so restless. 3 more weeks of this! :'( :'( Saveeee meee!!!

Lots of love,
xoxo

Safety First.

Good morning Wednesday!!

It's half way through swot vac already. So fast! Everything is on schedule. So I'm really happy about that. Been going to the gym everyday :) Body aching like crazy mad %#*$# !!! But that's good right?? It means my muscles are doing its job!!

Lately, I've been seeing & hearing a lot of life-threatening cases happening in Malaysia. In KL to be exact. In the last 5 days, I've already read about 3 different extremely scary experiences shared by the victims themselves. I am aware that Malaysia is a dangerous place. But I used to think that if I hang out in the right places I will be fine. What scares me is driving around alone. A lot of these cases happen to women driving alone. And not in areas where we hardly hear about. These cases are happening at the obvious places. Places my friends and I go to all the time! What happened at curve terribly frightened me. As I was reading her story, I felt so afraid for her. These things can happen to anyone. Which is why it is so terrifying. I am never going to curve alone ever. Forget about heading to Fitness First early in the morning!

Its really sad how reality is.. Our lives are affected so badly by these things. I mean I don't understand. Why do people have to do these things? Its so cruel. These victims have people who love them. Don't they have any sympathy in their hearts?? Well I guess they're the bad guys for a reason. But even criminals have hearts right? I hope they wake up and see the pain they're causing people. Greed is one of the most dangerous emotion. It is a potential stepping stone too all these problems.

Why they do what they do?? Well I don't know.. There can be many reasons behind a person's action. But there is always a better way of doing things. I feel so strongly for cases like these. Because not too long ago my family experienced the same thing. Not exactly on the streets. But worse. In our own home. And when someone holds a weapon at you. Your heart stops.

I was lucky enough to be in Melbourne at that time. And did not experience it first hand. But having it happen to someone so close to your heart, you can feel their pain too. And with a lot of recent cases shared on FB, I can see how these things are happening to circles closer to us. Our friend's of friend's having to go through that. You might not know that person. But you can feel their fear.. their pain.

So especially to all the ladies out there. Please please please be careful. Never drive alone anymore. I know its ridiculous but with crazy things like these happening ANYWHERE, you can never be too careful. We have to change certain things in our daily routine to ensure our safety comes first.

And to all other Malaysians, help those in need of help. You'll never know, you might be saving their lives.

Lots of love,

Hey!!

Just got back from an intense 45 min body combat class at the gym this afternoon. And had Chinese takeaway for lunch right after :) Yummmyyyy!

Been having Chinese dishes the past few days.. Either I miss Chinese food way too much or it could be the weather that makes warm chicken and noodles taste waaaaaayyyy better! Maybe a little of both.

It's officially the end of sem 2 classes! I just handed in my last assignment last night. So now its time to start studying. I'm hoping my plan to gym in the mornings and study after would stick. Cause it sounds like a pretty damn good plan! With that plan in action, I should be more focused as well.

4 more weeks. 4 more weeks!!

Aside from being MIA and leading a boring life, I have officially converted into an iPhone user!! I'm using my iPhone full time now. After carrying 2 phones around for a year plus, I've realized it is just not practical anymore. So I've finally given up my use of Blackberry. It was hard. I mean, I've been on a blackberry since 6-7 years ago? My first was the BB Pearl. Hahah remember that? When the keypads were different.. Not like how it is now. Sighhh..

Anyway, now I can finally learn how to properly use an iPhone. I know I know, it's late.. But what can I say? I was a very loyal BB user. The boy has been wanting to teach me how to use all these apps on iPhone, but I was never really interested. Cause I wasn't really using my iPhone back then. Now I've been downloading all these cool photo apps. And learning so much more about the phone.

I think my favorite thing about the iPhone would be the cool photo apps :D

My favorite at the moment would be FotoRus and Color of Dash. I know there's more. So if you know, share!! Those 2 are recommended by some friends. And I love them for that :D Awesome.

Some photos from my Instagram:

And that's just a few :) Will learn how to do more cool effects on my iPhone! Now I understand why people love the iPhone so much. Taking awesome pictures is just one of the many reasons why this phone is fun to use. I've switched ;)

Tata!!

Lots of love,

Friendly fashion.

Ok so, I've briefly mentioned before about wanting sell off my clothes. 2nd hand clothes or some even never-worn-before clothes. 

I've considered ebay. Even signed up as a seller. Did whatever necessary to prepare for sales. Only to find out that I had to pay a fee to sell my clothes. Or any items for that matter. So I decided to scratch that. No way am I paying a fee for selling an item that I'm not 100% sure would sell off. So I had to look for another way. I had to get rid of my clothes one way or another. 

My closet was piling up. I had no space for new clothes.. Well that wasn't really a problem. The problem was having to store clothes that I know I was never going to wear. I mean, it's not like my clothes were terrible. To be honest, I used to be an impulse shopper. And that led to me buying clothes that later on I realize didn't quite fit me right (in terms of sizing). For some reason, it looked like I had the right size whilst trying it in the dressing room but whenever I got home, it was all wrong. And so begins the storage of unused clothes. 

Which brings me to my topic today..

Friendly fashion

It is a website I came across through my Facebook feed. I saw it and got curious so I clicked on the link. And just my luck, it was a website that allowed us consumers to sell our clothes!! It was just perfect! I was looking all over for ways to sell off my clothes and this just came along. It is in RM so for those of you in Melbourne, maybe it's not what you're looking for. If you intend to sell your stuff in AUD. But for the rest of the Malaysians, what better way right?? The community is pretty large too. I have not had time to take photos of my clothes yet. As we have to upload photos of our clothes in order to sell, but I will definitely do that in the upcoming holiday!

Do check them out if you're looking for something like that. 

Also, I've been fortunate enough to be invited by the creators of the site to be a guest blogger for their blog. Not too long ago, I've finally had the time to do a post for them in relation to fashion and lifestyle in Melbourne. 

As we're into winter in Melbourne, I thought it would be fun to do a little post on Melbourne's fashion during this period along with a little peek of the famous lanes Melbourne has to offer. 

Do check it out: HERE if you'd like to have a read.

I do believe the internet is such a convenient way of selling off clothes. 

As for me, I do really want to clear out my closet space. So this is just absolutely perfect for me. 

Until next time!

Lots of love,

xoxo
