Early and Late Surprise

Woke up this morning and got a small parcel delivered to my doorstep! I thought to myself: 'Gee.. what is this? and who is it from? My sis kah?' Coz' she told me last week on my birthday that she posted something for me... Also, i did not order anything online (i E-shop a lot).

 

No sender's name, by air mail, and from Smelliesdirect.co.uk? must be a perfume! open and see first! 

 Taa da! a Harajuku Lovers' perfume! 

 Cute and retro! Love it so much!

FYI: The Sunshine Cuties is one of the limited collection inspired by gwen stefani's fascination with fashion hungry teens in japan! Top note is of fruity floral scent which is my favourite! also a bit of sensual... Lovin the bottle! The wrap around sunglasses is removable! :)

Thanks to my beloved sis for this belated birthday gift! Love ya'!!!

Money can't buy happiness?

*Pic credited to Mind Body Green

We all do not like to work but we have to because we can get more money to buy things that can make us happy! isn't that logical? Thus, money doesn't buy us happiness but it indirectly will! I am a person who spends a lot as shopping keeps my mind at ease... think: 'when i am sad, i shop! when i am happy, i shop!' yup, that's me! this is definitely not something to be proud of, it is a very very bad way of pleasuring myself... i'm not sure whether i put that in a correct way or not, haha! In a nutshell, i have to really control myself la! Any suggestion? whenever i see something i like, it is not that i didn't think through before buying, but i think too much until i thought to myself: 'that's it! stop thinking! just buy it!' I bet there are shopaholics out there who shares the same thought like mine!

Remember I once said that i will blog about my work from my previous entry? yup, i will blog about it now! For introduction, ABC company (random name) is one of the world's leading providers and promoters of global summits strategic conferences, professional training, in-Company training, business-to-business congresses, sports hospitality and on-line information. It's Asia Pacific regional office is headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, while it has another branch in Penang with a sales team specially for the People's Republic of China. I was hired into the China team as a jr. sales exec and my job basically requires cold-calling with a minimum of 100 calls per day to the big companies (as in Fortune 500's) in China depending on the scope of the conferences, events, training, etc. being assigned. I went for a one-week training when i first joined, together with the other two newcomers and before we were put onto the sales floor, the GM of my company offered us a lucrative amount of incentive for whoever that nails the first deal! Well, at first it sounds really challenging and exciting, but after working for three weeks and kept getting a never-ending 'no' for every call made, i thought maybe this is not the right job for me. Anyhow, things changed when i managed to first close a deal from a company in Shanghai last week, to be honest, I was super 'kan cheong', stunned, felt like crying, over the moon, blah blah blah! It was mixed feelings! I never felt such a way for a very long time, this has proven that I can do the job, at least! Well, this is my story, i managed to get that incentive! Meanwhile, it made me 'seriously' realized that money doesn't come by easily, so closing that deal really gave me a few life lessons and it'll definitely be a day that will not be forgotten! :) Also, it was at the right time and the right month! June is the birthday month for my whole family, gonna bring them to 'jiak ho liao' (eat delicious food in Hokkien) next week on Father's Day! :)

of Roses, Gowns, and.... 'purple' high school buddies!

Nicole's hitched! ok, I've been wanted to blog about a wedding of one of my closed friends, Nicole, also the first ever schoolmate to get married! after waiting for half a year since her wedding announcement, it finally happened last night. With tons of lovely pics in hand, i'm ever ready to share the very precious moment here... but before that, i would like to congratulate her and the very caring and handsome husband, Alex, may you both live happily with life filled with love and joy! Forever after!

She was very very beautiful :)

She's so happy, but I think the groom is so much happier..hehe... so lucky!

In love with ‘Mademoiselle’!

I've always been loving Chanel for their classy, chic and elegant designs, especially the quilted bags! ‘Mademoiselle’ is named after the latest collection of handbags for Chanel. The brand ambassador is none other than Blake Lively! The 'Gossip Girl' star who is a perfect feature for this collection, i must say! She resembles every details for Chanel. Love the small bowling bag! 

 Small iguana skin bowling bag embellished with a "bijou" chain and a CHANEL pendant

(priced at SGD9840, which means RM24026.57! :D) 

Love it so much but unfortunately it costs almost half of the value of my Viva car! haha

This is Absurd! a Smoking Ape??!!

I cannot not blog about this! I feel disgraced after seeing an article from the local newspaper about an orangutan (named Shirley) who is addicted to smoking (f**k the moron who introduced her to smoking!).Shirley was said to be heavily addicted to smoking in a Johor zoo. She even begged for the zoo visitors to give her a stick! There are no signs of warnings in the zoo preventing visitors from giving her cigarettes and the zoo keepers not even bother to prevent the visitors from handling the cigarettes to her. Cigarette stubs was said to be left around her cage! Poor animal! It is clear for humans to know that smoking can cause many harms to health especially lung cancer and other heart diseases, why on earth does 'this kind of people' can give such unwanted behavior to an animal? let along an orangutan? This is such a shame to the country!

Feeling sick...

Yes, i feel sick of being unemployed for the whole week! I quit my last job (exact 3 weeks of working) on last Monday. Ever since then, i've been slacking off at home, succumbing on junk foods while watching (a lot of) movies via my laptop! The reason i quit? I just simply couldn't bear with working in a poultry industry! (yes, and i mean it!). My 'ex' company is a manufacturer of poultry equipments for the whole of Asia Pacific (ever heard of GSI Asia?). It is a subsidiary group of GSI IL, USA. Still, i have time looking for other alternatives while working there, hence i've found a better one in Penang island (will definitely blog about it soon). Need to be there for junior training session on next Tuesday, and there goes another chapter of my working life :) Hopefully it'll go well this time :). Also, i will be moving to my bf's mother's house for a more convenient travel purposes. I do not feel excited at all (who does?) in this plan, but hey, no choice, need to save money for bigger plans! I have car loan and educational loan to pay :(  At 24, i have so much to go on... Here's a meaningful song by Rie Fu:

of Cardis and Jamie Beck!

Oops! I abandoned my blog for one whole week :/ Guess i'm not use to the habit of blogging... hehe... trying my best to blog more frequent from now onwards. Speaking of the blog post's title, i found myself get hooked up on buying cardigans, various designs of cardigans with chiffon, knit, satin, cotton material, you name it! :) I personally think that cardigans are so versatile that i can wear it on anything, on any occasions such as to a movie night, a strolling in the mall, simply to just cover up, and most importantly, to hide those unwanted bulges (ahem!) or even flabby arms (I sound so not confident =.=).

Anyway, I recently stumbled upon a Singaporean fashion blogger, Cindy Ashes, (found out about her from lookbook.nu) whom I think has a great sense of style I must say! just so in love with her plain and natural yet pretty looks, her fashion style is so hyped! :) Can't stop describing about her in all positive ways :) Here are some pics copied from her blog :)

 So in love with her mustard cardigan! It's so hard to find a mustard coloured piece! grr.. :(

Spotted! What a beautiful cardigan worn by Serena in the latest episode of Gossip Girl (season 4 episode 19)

Okay, now let's talk about the NYC animated GIF photog, Jamie Beck(my name:)). Well, just so you know, Jamie lives in New York's Upper West Side, shoots editorial and commercial work for a variety of clients and is working to expand her published portfolio. Despite her busy work schedule, she was kind enough to share about her work and plans on her growing business. At least, that's what i know about this amazing photog! Her blog include an extensive of visual archives that will eventually make you get lost, which i already am! Check out some of the most awesome 'cinemagraph' which she had collaborated with Kevin Burg (NYC web designer) in the processes, i can't stop but to stare at each photos.
