eek, i hate awkward introductions. i have to do it at work so let's just not bother here, shall we?<br />
<br />
i was looking at my dressing table and realised that i have quite a lot of accessories. my bestie says my dressing table is like a candy bar - there's so many accessories to choose from. (i think she meant that as a compliment?) so i thought i'd share with you my staple daily accessory - R I N G S .<br />

YAY!<br />
<br />
i can't believe it's been 5 months since i last blogged. it actually feels a little strange to be back on blog-o-sphere and typing out an entry right now. but i'm looking forward to interacting with all my blog mates again. have missed you all! :)<br />
<br />
so here's what i wore yesterday for a tea-time get together with my girlfriends -<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/my%20outfits/11092010313-004.jpg" /></a></div><br />
i took that with my mobile phone's camera thus the shitty quality. it doesn't do justice to the romper so here's some shots that i took with my good old faithful Canon Ixus 70.<br />

this gorgeous romper was a gift from my sister. i absolutely love the print and it was a good break from my usual black/white/grey/beige ensemble to work. <br />
<br />
hope everyone's having a good weekend! till the next time :)szelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05347837025981666906noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200686570813645.post-41248779258904963752010-04-08T00:54:00.000+08:002010-04-08T00:54:19.269+08:00time stands still .let me start off with a cliche line: the chapter of my student life in Melbourne has been closed for a while now. a new chapter began when i moved back home to Singapore to embark on an adult life - one that should be filled with new responsibilities, challenges and most importantly, a career.<br />
<br />
this new chapter hasn't been any bit of fun. it still needs a lot of sprucing and tweaking before it can be completed. the question, however, is: will it ever be complete?<br />
<br />
people say that life is full of different chapters. i believe so. we make up our own chapters, our own stories, our own characters, our own lives. now, i need to make up my own story, my own new life back where i (think) i belong. i need to draft out my chapter and execute certain plans. more importantly, i need to sort things out.<br />
<br />
it's all gonna be about me, i'm afraid. which is why i've decided to take a long break from blog-o-sphere while i pan out my chapter. i'm not sure when i'll be back and i'm sorry if this entry has sounded somewhat depressing. i just need some me-time to sort things out and blogging is not on my priority list now.<br />
<br />
thanks for sticking around, my dear reader. and until then, i leave you with some photos of my belated birthday dinner with my girls two weeks ago.<br />

as much as i loved the original pair that the girls got for me, they were tad too high for my liking. with that pair, i was standing at approx. 180cm. so i had it changed to the above pair which i'm more comfortable with.</div>szelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05347837025981666906noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200686570813645.post-27620018752162984102010-03-30T01:21:00.001+08:002010-03-30T01:27:37.311+08:00it's quiz time everyone .i realise i tend to suddenly blog almost daily for a short period of time but then suddenly go missing again. i get lazy and tired, especially after a long day at work. so i salute those dedicated bloggers who actually work full time and still blog daily. how do they do that? i'd like to know if you're one of them.<br />

Mez from <a href="http://www.blithelyunaware.com/">Blithely Unaware</a> recently did a quiz and passed it on to me. thanks sweetie but i'm gonna be honest, i suck at quizzes! i probably give the most boring answers so unless you are really bored or something, please kindly skip over this part and on to the next section of this entry.<br />

a friend just told me yesterday that they had trouble finding something for my birthday(s) because i'm a mish-mash of everything. it's true to a certain extent. but i love the masculine/feminine look the most - if you read my blog often, you'd know that i love pants. i suppose my love for pants comes from a deeper cause than just my superficial attractiveness towards it; i have eczema (a skin condition) and living in a humid country doesn't help much so i tend to scratch myself a lot, especially my legs and when i'm asleep too. all the scratching tends to leave scars behind and while some scars go away, i've gotten quite conscious of those remaining scars. pants are a great way to cover my legs up and... i can be slightly un-ladylike too =D (oops, did i even answer the question?)<br />

<br />
i've been wearing glasses since i was nine and only started wearing contact lenses when i turned sixteen. i was pretty much a geek back in primary and secondary school, sporting the awkward teen girl look with metal-rimmed glasses.<br />
<br />
recently, i got myself a new pair of glasses after wearing my last one for almost four years. so here i am at a flea market last night (which had super duper poor response) in my not-so-new-anymore glasses:<br />

<br />
natural weather aside, the office that i'm working at blasts the a/c like it is trying to freeze us all. so spending eight hours a day in a bloody cold office calls for a cardigan for sure.<br />
<br />
cardigan or not, pants are and will always be there for me. i heart pants, truly. (i think i might have been a boy in my previous life. hah!)<br />

<i>Jenny: If you never do anything, you never become anyone.</i></div><br />
if you've not seen <i>An Education</i>, i urge you to. its storyline is simple: an English teenage girl who grows up in 1960s suburban London meets a man almost twice her age and begins on an unexpected journey into the beauties and vices of the world beyond her school life.<br />
<br />
the delightful Carey Mulligan gave such a wonderful performance as the female protagonist that it is hard not to love every bit of the character. it is also hard not to fall in love with the fashion in this film because, well, it's <i>the </i>60s fashion.<br />

my dear friend got me fooled. i seriously thought i had just wasted my moolah picking up a call from some stupid sex scam shit. so if you ever wanna fool a friend too, perhaps you can try this out. ;)<br />
<br />
we met up in town and spent the bulk of our time in Topshop because ... ... okay there are two things you should know about my friend: 1. once she steps into Topshop, she just grabs clothes off the racks and lugs them all to the changing room. 2. she takes bloody long to decide which one(s) she'll take.<br />
<br />
BUT, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU BABE. =D<br />

<br />
we ate at Black Opal - beautiful interior design and friendly service but it didn't fare so well in the food department. twas bummed out by that. and as if to bum me out even more, there was construction going on below the restaurant while we were having our lunch - the worst kind of dining-ambience killer i reckon! the manager couldn't do anything about it because the construction workers were rushing an overdue deadline to complete the cable car infrastructure. so yups! we had to sit through a drill-worthy lunch. not the best lunch i've had but thought i'd share the little beauties of the humble Mount Faber that made up for the not-so-pleasant lunch experience.<br />

<br />
so, it's been nice to have my aunt in town because today, we made the effort to head out to The Fullerton Hotel to have a nice and relaxing lunch by the river. we were pretty impressed with the food at Town Restaurant so i suspect we might head back there again <i>some </i>day for their buffet lunch. as for today, twas ala carte.<br />

<br />
every CNY, we'd drive from Singapore to Nibong Tebal and it's always a looooonnnngggg drive (at least 10 hours!). so, toilet breaks and random stops are essential.<br />
this was taken from the top of a small little hill. my dad had stopped the car to take some scenic photos (how enthusiastic he was at the beginning! hah. guess he later got sucked in by food too and forgot about taking photos). i can't remember where exactly this was but looking at the time the photo was taken, it's probably somewhere in between Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/Chinese%20New%20Year%202010/IMG_2283.jpg" /></a></div><br />
it's a tradition to get everyone together to "<i>lo hei</i>" (the act of tossing this particular dish called "<i>yu shang</i>" which is a Chinese fish salad) during CNY. apparently, the higher you raise your chopsticks, the better luck you'll get for the new year. haha.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/Chinese%20New%20Year%202010/IMG_2356.jpg" /></a></div><br />
we do it the '<i>kampong</i>' style back in Malaysia. instead of sitting on chairs, we'd rather sit on random spots like this decorative piece (i think that's the purpose of it...) that runs along the back of the garden in my uncle's house.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/Chinese%20New%20Year%202010/IMG_2376.jpg" /></a></div><br />
mom once said, "you aren't a Chinese if you don't know how to use chopsticks." so she made my sister and i learn how to use them when we were kids but somehow, until today, i just can't seem to grasp the technique properly and still hold my chopsticks in the wrong way. shame on me. ): <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/Chinese%20New%20Year%202010/IMG_2421.jpg" /></a></div><br />
mosquitoes are ALL OVER the place once night falls. my arms and legs were covered with mosquito bites and sores that i had to apply calamine lotion to all those spots to relieve the itch (thus making it seem like i love drawing white circles on my body). <br />
this thingy (when i don't know what's the name for something, i just call it that) here is suppose to keep the mosquitoes away but it wasn't strong enough or something cos those damn insects just continued to buzz around and sting us every now and then.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/Chinese%20New%20Year%202010/IMG_2462.jpg" /></a></div><br />

(this is the part where i start with excuses.) 1. the internet at my cousin's place was shit. 2. i was too caught up with eating that i didn't even bother taking photos. 3. i got lazy. <br />
<br />
bad/good excuses? you decide. personally, i think excuses are bad to begin with but that's just gonna work against me now aye?<br />
<br />
anyhoos, it's been a while since i got something in the mail so twas really nice to find the postman outside my house today with a package marked for me! i knew right away that it was from the boy in Manchester. even though it didn't reach me on Valentine's Day, the wait was definitely worthwhile. <br />
<br />

hope y'all had a good week!szelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05347837025981666906noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200686570813645.post-40631771036235460432010-02-13T22:58:00.004+08:002010-02-15T13:40:46.872+08:00double happiness .this year's 14th February is a little different for the Chinese: 1. it's the first day (<i>chu yi</i>) of the Lunar Calendar which marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year; 2. it's Valentine's Day. <br />
<br />
i always spend Chinese New Year with the family as it's tradition and as i'm originally from Malaysia, we always make a point to visit Penang (where i was born and dad's home town), Nibong Tebal (my mom's home town) and Kuala Lumpur (my dad's other home town) to catch up with the relatives and celebrate the occasion over reunion dinners.<br />
<br />
on the other hand, i've never 'celebrated' Valentine's Day until the boy came along. even so, we didn't believe in forking out extra money to be part of a collective coupledom (if there's such a term) on one specific day.<br />
<br />
with gaoster away in Manchester, this year's 14th February is pretty straight forward for me: family time. it's a pity the boy can't be around his family as well (one could say that Chinese New Year is the equivalent of Christmas where bonding with family is (and should be) of utmost importance).<br />
<br />
so anyhoos, i leave you with a photo of my pooch Sushee and will update from Malaysia! 'til then, folks.<br />

(i'm trying not to start the next sentence with an I again) ... the weather is really getting to me that i'm not in the mood to do anything but just sit right in front of the fan 24/7 (we have a try-our-very-best-not-to-switch-on-the-a/c policy at home because we like to go Green when we can) it'd be great if i had a pool in my house but na-ah, no such luxury.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">***</div><br />
twas sad leaving Melbourne and am still kinda sad that i'm not there anymore. the silly sister teared up at the airport when i left which made me even sadder but hey, that's just part of growing up - you gotta go different ways at different times in your life.<br />
<br />
you also know that it's time for you to have a change of outfit after your friends see you and ask, "sze, how long have you been wearing this?" so yes, i finally realised i should put away my MNG cuff pants for a while and put on another pair of pants and tee. here i am, with some photos taken at my sister's place -<br />

BAAHH!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/last%20month%20in%20Melbourne%20Jan%20to%20Feb%202010/IMG_0224.jpg" /></a><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp356/szela23/last%20month%20in%20Melbourne%20Jan%20to%20Feb%202010/IMG_0225.jpg" /></a></div><br />
i found it hilariously amusing (and maybe slightly mean) to see my sister holding that expression throughout our whole time there. the heat was getting to her bad and i quote, "my thighs are gonna get an abrasion." she now knows NOT to wear her faux leather skirt on a blimey hot day. <br />
<br />
after sticking around till the closing of the market (and getting ourselves some bargains which i'll try to post another entry on), we made our way to Miss Marples @ Mount Dandenong for lunch and scones. of all the scones i've had, Miss Marples has the best and i'll definitely miss it when i'm back in Singapore. but hey, that just means i've more stuff to look forward to when i do visit Melbourne again! <br />

with most of my clothes packed away, i've been finding some difficulty putting together a nice outfit whenever i head out. amidst this vanity trap, i've come to realise how lucky i am to have all the material things that i have and it's all thanks to the parents. i often wonder when one day i have a family myself, will i be able to provide for my kids as well as my parents are doing for me and my sister? but i shan't bore you with this self questions so this is what i wore today:<br />

<br />
but did the plan stick through? BIG NO. because instead of waking up at 9am, we only woke up at 1pm. damn that snooze option on my mobile phone! so no fresh food in the fridge and no new AA tees in the wardrobe but at least i managed to get two new hand-painted bowls from the Arts Market for Sushee.<br />

one of the many things to look forward to when i get home is seeing my beautiful dog every single day. i can't wait to be able to hug and squeeze her in my arms again, to bring her on her walks and to enjoy her company all over again. *cue: awww!<br />

i recycled an outfit from <a href="http://expectheunexpectednow.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-last-month-in-melbourne.html">here</a> today and couldn't resist taking a photo against this huge ass warehouse door. don't you just love the colour? now, more warehouses and factories should follow suit and add colours to their doors too.<br />
<br />
