My Very Own Favourite Top 5 Malaysian Online Blogshop

after almost one year of online shopping, i might as well post about my favorite blog shops. The ratings are based on their services, clothing, presentation of the website and most importantly, the price of course. I wouldn't buy some expensive things from pictures that i will not be able to try it on! that's the most frustrating thing about online shopping, you will not be able to see whether the clothes fit you or not! after a whole year of experience, i already have in mind about which blog shops to browse when it comes to choosing certain clothes for certain occasions, as well as whether these clothes will fit me or not...

1. My number one blog shop is White Circus

If you are looking for some very pretty work wears, or simple yet versatile clothing that is great for both work and play, this is the best place to go! The clothes are hand picked by its owner, Justina based on her very own personal taste, which i think she has a good one. With limited pieces of good quality clothing, it is no doubt a blog shop that offers all the clothes that i am looking for!

2. My number two will be Cocktails & Martinis

Judging from the blog name itself, the owner does a great job by bringing all the pretty dresses and gowns for day or night at a very reasonable price. You can find a lot of beautiful dresses that are similar to those in the shopping malls with a huge price difference! The selection of clothes would be those of elegant and flattering pieces. Great choice from the blog owner, Kayc, a penangite! That would explain my repeatation of purchases. Updates will be on every Thursday and Sunday nights! Check out the lavish collections! :P


3. My number three is Beautiful Disaster!

The is the only Malaysian blogshop that offers things that you wouldn't find it any where else! If you are looking for something 'different', this is the place! the blog offers unique multiple different designs of clothes and accessories with a twist of colour. It is a blog for fashion goers that is similar to those people who strut their fashion styles in lookbook.nu. When i first stumbled upon this blog, i was like 'OMG'! I kept browsing and browsing on its (a lot of) quirky and colourful outfits! love the pieces that the owner, Celine, brings in! The blog also offers pre-order shoes and clothes that i guaranteed you won't find it elsewhere! However price a tad higher, but i wouldn't mind paying that extra to get something that is different from the others. :P

4. My number four is Vivace Cabin!

What i like most about this blog is most probably the tapered pants! If you are looking for a good quality working pants with superb reasonable price, this is where you should go! Also offers a lot of simple yet versatile tops that are great for both work and play. The clothing line is more 'easy on the eye' type, very laid back and most importantly, of great quality with a good price! You won't regret buying things from this blog shop! and oh, the owner gives the best services ever among all blogs that i stumbled upon!

 5. Last but not least is Ugly Duckling Closet!

This is a blogshop that will get you come back for more, and i'm not saying purchasing the clothes (of course i have a self-control!), i kept myself aware of its updates as the owner brings in a lot of  'Topshop and H&M inspired pieces' and all those pretty coloured clothes that is either too sweet or too cute to resist! I'm not sure whether i put it right or not, but you should check out the blog shop and you will know what i am saying! The clothes sold out so fast that if you missed out the update in a day, you will see almost all the clothes are either being sold or reserved! In a nutshell, this is the blog shop to go if you like Topshop but thinking it is too expensive for you!

 

waking up with this question every morning and i really don't want it to happen but somehow it does... I guess it's the same thing I've always been afraid of. all those years. though, I thought things had changed for me after all this while. I guess not though. but this time's different I think. well, I know it is, actually. but I guess the same fear still lingers somewhere there. guess it applies too, in its own way. but apart from that, there's also the other thing I'm afraid of. the thing that happens between an end and a beginning. the transition. well I guess at that precise moment, there's nothing to be afraid of. it's the anticipation; when the things still matter to you. knowing that if you keep this up, that point will come sooner or later. and there's no avoiding it. good thing is, when it does come, you don't care much about it anymore. I guess that's why I jumped the last time. I took that 'leap of faith' and don't get me wrong, it was for the best. but somehow I'm back to my old self. of being overly cautious. of wanting to be entirely sure. and in wanting that, it kinda messes up a lot of other things too I guess. and brings about a negative consequence overall. the only difference is that over here, it's more confined. there's no running away from things you don't want to face. you can't selectively avoid these things. they're bound to turn up every now and then and they'll bring about all those weird feelings. feelings that make you regret it all in the first place. but I guess it's true that you should never regret what once made you happy. albeit just transiently.

If I Die Young...

This is just something i would like to share... this song touches me as i would cry every time i listen to it thinking about what i've been through and the journey ahead of me as i once endured so much pain in my life. utterly the best country song so far

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Last Friday...

I noticed i only blog when i'm happy! This is not how it supposed to be! it's been two weeks since my last entry... :( btw, yesterday (Friday), I was so trilled when i hit a triple deal! Whoopie! weeeeee......3 more delegates to go...! to get my senior title in 1 month's time! Hope it happens soon! *fingers cross*. I was so so hungry the whole afternoon as i did not take my lunch due to the 'kancheongness' to close that deal! client also asked to call back during lunch time! but it was worth it! she sent three! :)

After work, went to Gurney Plaza with a colleague to meet up some old friends to catch a movie... 'Transformers Tiga'! I personally think the movie was 'ok' as I like the first installment better... The third installment is at least better than the second one with a proper storyline and not just mere actions. Also with the new casts, especially the VS model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the only cast with a British accent... it is something different... I would say Rosie does make a really good first time actress... but not a good choice to succeed Megan Fox :( Sorry Rosie, but Megan is hotter... haha

The cinema was full that we ended up getting the seats in the third row nearest to the big screen..! This movie is very 'Gempak' in Malaysia... almost everyone queued up to watch the same movie -.-"

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.
