Please change your bookmarks/links to my new address, thank you.

This site was fun while it lasted and certain posts (like my JAPAN ones shall be posted into my new blog as it seems to be useful to readers (according to numerous e-mails).

It's time to move on from high school and into a new phase of life.

I just found a bunch of style blogs and the genius that is Chictopia.com. Holy cow! I'm in bloody style heaven. So much inspiration, so much style, so many beautiful clothes.

Is it sad how clothes are inspiring me to start college now? I can't wait to wake up in the mornings to go for my classes dolled up in my outfits. Chic breezy blouses paired with a cute pencil/tulip skirt topped off with a hat (preferably my bowler or fedora) and a sweater in case it gets cold. OR! My new star print blouse I bought in Bangkok with the bow around the collar paired with my new (get this) skinny leg CHEAP MONDAY JEANS (YES, CHEAP MONDAY. ME. MUAHAHAHAHA) and Zara black ankle boots to elongate my stumps legs.

I never did well in High School because we were made to wear Alice in Wonderland inspired uniforms everyday. Instead, I always excelled in tuition because we were given the freedom and I shined amongst all the t-shirt and jeans clad students. I always tell my mother: "When I look damn good, I feel damn good and then I perform damn good."

Of course.

Don't you just hate it when people turn up for classes in nothing but t-shirt and jeans and a pair of slippers? (Yes, I have been a victim, but no longer!!!) It pisses me off when I see people in slippers. It looks sloppy and it shows you don't take pride in how you portray yourself to the world. I know you're one of those "don't judge me" people but COME ON, at least don't be an eyesore to others. Have a bit of courtesy.

Caught up with Inessa today and we went gallivanting around Mid Valley and the Gardens. Of course, we had to do the obligatory round to Isetan where the MARC JACOBS shrine is located.

I found one I really like! It's pale blue and soft pebble leather, and if I'm not wrong it's the Softy Jorie in Denim and costs RM1899 plus further 40% discount. And seeing it's Isetan we can use my uncle's staff discount for a further 20%. So total = RM759.60. HOLY SHIT LESS THAN A THOUSAND RINGGIT.



This is for my parents/relatives (if they ever find this blog, god forbid they ever do):
18th birthday in May *HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT HINT*

I've already told them what I want for my 21st in 2012: My very own Chanel 2.55 (reissued or classic). Hey, I think I'm pretty reasonable considering I've given them 3 years to save up (lol).

Pretty evident from this post that between Shoes and Bags, I'm definitely a Bag girl. BUT! The wonderful thing is, Chinese New Year is just around the corner and looking at my prosperous history I think I have a great chance of gaining at least RM900+ worth of ang paos (recession or not, muahaha). So if my parents do not relent *cries* I'll just save up that money along with the ones I have left in the bank and buy the bag myself. I want it. I want it. iwantiwantiwantiwantiwantiwantiwant.

Recession is here! We need to spend more to spur the economy! (I am a frivolous brat D:)
I am now going to make googly eyes at my computer screen as I browse through the more expensive and exotic skins (ostrich :my favourite, crocodile, lizard...) . ;_; I'm so happy and contented who knows what would happen when I finally do achieve my dreams and earn enough money to buy one. *sigh sigh sigh*

I actually went for that Education Fair held by the Star newspaper in KLCC today. To say I was dubious and reluctant to go for it in the first place is an understatement, but after a whole lot of nagging and 'be serious, it's your life' talks by my mother I finally relented.

We arrived there while the doors were still closed but to my surprise they actually started right on the dot on the stated time. First impressions are important and I'm impressed. The hall was also really big and well organized so it was easy to navigate. First stop, my mother's favourite school: KDU. I swear, it's like they paid her money to mention their school to me every single damn day. Makes it worse when the school is right opposite my house across the highway.

After about 30 minutes of chatting with an adviser I guess they sort of won me over as well. The only thing I didn't like is that they associate with Australian Universities which I am totally AGAINST. I hate Australia, NONONONONONONO. Even worse, all of them were located in suburban areas like Perth and Adelaide, ARGH! Why the hell would anyone subject themselves to the torture that is the Australian suburb? I can't even take the damn city, I'd seriously kill myself if I ever had to go back. I'm really not joking.

But you don't care what I think.

We walked out from that little chat feeling a little relieved and happy that I finally had a prospective college to attend in March. My mother even happier seeing that KDU is:
1. near
2. cheap

Walked around a bit more until we happened on another college. I actually have no idea what made us stop, seeing as we had been refusing offers left right and center on anything that didnt interest us. Must've been fate, must've been karma because the Education Gods are seriously smiling upon me right now.

I found something even better.

I haven't registered yet, but I think this is it. It's the one and it only took 5 minutes for the boy (a student as well, even better for my mother to interrogate) to convince us that this was it. It took the lady 30 minutes to tell me about KDU but it took 5 minutes and no sitting down for me to click. Reasons:

1. It's even cheaper than KDU! Like RM5 000+ cheaper
2. Location is okay (Uptown)
3. The university they offer is actually really near my aunt's house in the London.
4. Endorsed by alot of pretty prestigious firms here in Malaysia and even New York City.
5. Opportunity to study fashion marketing and merchandising.
6. Small school/less well-known = less opportunity for running into somebody I know

SOLD.

to the confused teenager at the back. Hello my friend, London's calling. ;D

I won't reveal the college I chose yet seeing as I haven't registered or anything yet. Who knows, it might turn out to be a dud, but I've got a feeling it won't. :)

You could say I left that hall feeling really happy. We then left for KLIA to fetch my dad who arrived back from Mongolia via Beijing today. There must've been some flight from Mekkah or something today, everyone in the Arrivals hall was clad in white religious wear (idk what its called). How fun. I love looking at the Departure/Arrival boards, makes me wish that if I were born male I would've been a pilot. As a female, I myself am sexist towards female pilots. I wouldn't feel safe with me in the cockpit let alone a whole plane full of passengers.

I have a good excuse to be late this time. Not the most auspicious of new year beginnings but I came down with a sudden case of the flu on, get this, New Year's Eve.

New Year's freaking Eve.

Yeah, so while all my mates have been partying it up, going to clubs, doing the countdown and wearing those adorable 2009 hats/specs, I was lying in bed coughing like an old man, my body aching and emanating heat like sand in the Sahara desert.

I feel much better now, thank you. So without further ado:
