Travel Babble..I miss 2010!


Welcoming 2010 with Spore with a shopping trip -Jan 2010-
I am way past being ordinary. I hate it when I have to live a routine life like this one. Its been a while since I last travel and it makes me sick thinking that the next one gonna be in Dec 2012 (of course after this baby is born)...But yeay, I'm gonna do it for her this time...be patient darling..travelling with your princess gonna be extra fun after this!so please dont complain..

Observing others' does make me feel that my so-called "ordinary" life looks better, and I appreciate things more. And thats what I love most about travelling. Surrounded by strangers, by buildings that I'm not familiar with, by routes I'm not used to, and of course, getting away from work that is beyond boring (dont get me wrong here.I love my job, being an upstream process engineer is just the best job i ever had. It's just that, i'm a risk taker, a workaholic and i hate it when the job is so comfortable that I dont have to leave my seat...urghhh)

It's not really a routine job, I would say, since I'm attached to project. There's a lot to learn, lots of new stuffs, but waking up every morning at 6 a.m, driving to work at 7.15a.m, working 8 a.m to 7.15p.m (yeah, I go to the gym sometimes, 2 times a week at least), cook for dinner at 8.15p.m, etc? Yeah, I go offshores sometimes, but not all the time...huhu...nyway,it's already considered routine, and by routine means "ordinary". I hate being ordinary!

I miss 2010. Its all about travel, marriage, work and living life!

Animal printzees!!..-Jan2011-


** Marc Jacobs Leopard-print Fall 2006 collection

"There will come a day that I become a true woman, and when the time comes, I shall behave like one, speak like one, dress like one"

I am against all animal abuse, but I just love animal prints. I was a polka-dot girl (or would I say, woman?) last year, but this year, I am starting to collect animal print shoes, handbags, stuffs (not animal fur kind of thing). These two shoes are part of collection. Will add more photos soon!

Zebra-print silk peep toe pump (Discovered her in Beijing!)
Leopard-print peep toe wedges (Bought her at Vincci for only RM69!)


zebra-print silk flip-flop wedges (Found her in Beijing too!)


snake-skin print evening clutch (Found her on Amodelexcess)


Animal print inspirasions!!








Later!

2011.New year resolutions huh? -Jan2011-

I wanna put up a new blog to write about my life, other than travelling of course..but looking at the current progress with TFC, nahhh, I don't think I have time to setup another blog, of course..so here I am writing about something else, other than the travelling..Since this is my blog, I can dictate what the entry would be, so does the title and the length..ya what the heck?

It's 9 days past new year celebration, and I am still sitting here cracking my head on whats my 2011 resolutions would be. I haven't decided any, to date. 2010 gonna be the year that I would remember the most, and that's probably because I;

- got married to Rahim
- planned and financed my own wedding reception (and it was a success)
- went to Melbourne, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, Phuket, Beijing and Spore for honeymoons and vacations with husband and friends
- bought my 3rd and 4th house
- sent my parents for full-expenses paid to Makassar
- leased out my 2nd house

and a lot more!! (Well, of course now I can see a lot of figures on my credit cards bills..heheheh..:D), but guess what, I did live my life to the fullest last year, so why can I do the same this year?

I will have the same job, the same needs (I can only hope that it will not change that drastic), the same desire, the same circle of friends, and still living in Kuala Lumpur ...hurmm, looking for something new...

I was reading STYLE magazine this afternoon, when I saw this one article on "100 Rules to Become a Consummate Lady" that interests me the most. Most of the rules are very, I would say, simple but classic rules on how-my-fashion-sense-and-the-way-I-carry-myself-as-a-26-year-old-lady should be starting 2011. (Some of these don't apply, but I just put it here because they're quite funny). So here goes;

  1. Teeth can make you look older (so you better take a good care of it!)
  2. Even Blair Waldorf has moved from her hairband craze (I have to get rid of my freak obsession on polka-dots)
  3. You're allowed to put your croc handbag on the floor, its a bag, NOT a baby (haha, this one is quite true)
  4. Sweatsuits are strictly for the gym, don't wear them when you're not exercising. You're Jenny-from-the-block (haha)
  5. Don't wear too many colours at one time because you're not a bag of Skittles.(Noted!)
  6. Flaunting your designer bag does not show that you have a desirable deep pockets, only a shallow personality. Class supercedes wealth anytime (This is is bloody right, I shouldnt be eyeing for that LV anymore, but that "Neverfull LV" looks classy enough to me!MUST BUY!!)
  7. MANNERS - THE SECOND BEST ACCESSORY. A WELL-MANNERED, ILL-ATTIRED LADY IS PREFERABLE TO A WELL-DRESSED, ILL-MANNERED WANNABE (OMG, this one, I will remember forever!)
  8. You are no longer 18, don't dress like teenagers. (Hurm, does plain-jane Tshirt and jeans counts?)
  9. Cold shower increases mental alertness and adds a toning effect to your face
  10. ALWAYS CHECK IN THE MIRROR TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS SEE-THROUGH (Stop being a slut!haha)
  11. NEVER INSULT ANYONE. That's stooping too low and vulgar
  12. Don't try to fit into a slinky Herve Leger number if you're shaped like Khloe Kardashian, because she looks like she could hurt somebody if that zip pops!(Noted!)
  13. Start a whitening regimen and stick to it. An uneven skin tone can add 10 to 15 years to our appearance. (Keep changing my skincare, but always stick to Vit-E Bodyshop)
  14. Pick up a new sport because it keeps you slim, fit and improves your learning and comprehension. (I go to the gym, once, or twice or week, should make it more often)
  15. YOU'LL NEVER REALLY EXPERIENCE THE WORLD TILL YOU'VE TRAVELLED.(Yup, that's true. I am lot more thankful now that I've seen so many people struggles through life, from my recent trips to HCMC and Phnom Penh)
  16. JUST SAY NO TO FAKE LV (and any other brands for that matter)
  17. Channeling Katy Perry is a huge fashion don't. Costumes are not real clothes..haha
  18. Blogging fashion fluff doesn't make you fashionable (Which I am not trying to prove here). If you want to be taken seriously, nurture a voice and writing style as credible as an industry pro's (Noted with many thanks..haha)
  19. NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT SUNBLOCK.
  20. Like with diamonds, never stinge on quality when it comes to skincare. Always buy the best that you can afford. After all, your face is your best investment. (Noted, with action..haha)
Well, there's a lot more, but, know what, STYLE mag only cost RM8..hehe..I cannot and shouldn't be writing all down here, knowing the fact I am not the real author.

And to add to that list, here's mine;

1) Not to take heavy food after 8pm
2) To drink lots n lots of water a day
3) Not to skip any gym sessions, 3-times a week
4) To not eating out that much (MSG-free diets to improve one health!). Check this one out!http://www.livestrong.com/article/6205-need-msg-free-diets/
5) Not to buy that much of handbags (still struggling, every year)
6) Not to buy any more houses (huhu...)
7) To continue doing what I like (cooking, travelling, sewing, dancing...)
7) To save money!

Listing these down does not necessarily means that I can live better life in 2011 by following all these rules, to being a perfect lady. It just simply means that I have something to look forward to. Something that I can change about my life now, to be better as a person in 2011. To be beautiful, inside out. To live and love!

I promise to update my travel blog!and put more pics..haha

Its obvious that the soonest I write about those countries I visited (soonest means, as soon as I arrived at LCCT), the better memories I had on that travel, thus, more valuable information can be shared. Haha. And I should more photos too since I love taking photos, and why limit people to only words?(Lots of it..haha, sorry..sometimes I just love writing, even though my English is not that good...haha)...So, yeah. I will spend one day to do that (which I do not know yet when), and I gotta make sure, all posts are full with informasions!!LOL
