see it this way

week 3 of school has just begun to end (?). okay my first sentence indicates high level of stress stemming from the demands of honours year. spent today researching, meeting up with my supervisor, more researching, eating lunch at 4.30pm and dinner at -- oh, okay -- and attempting to water marble my nails whilst reading an article on how to undertake qualitative research on the internet. and taking pauses in between to rest my over-saturated brain by swooning over sweater and pleated skirts from the n21 2012prefall collection and contemplating on whether i should get that gold cuff. i have thin wrists so it is almost impossible to get a cuff to stay put, but this has chains connecting the gap...that kinda explains my obsession with it. oh and forever21 at sunway pyramid is having massive sales on sweaters -- rm40 for a sweater with lace panelling? score.

 

wide eyed

to prove that i am still alive and well -- albeit busy with thesis research -- i shall leave you to swoon over these cuddleworthy pictures of lengzai and lenglui taken at home before i transported myself here to kl. enjoy !

today,

i got back my renewed student ID and the 2012 student diary (loving the bokeh-ed lights in the cover pic).

i started reading 'Tis: A memoir by Frank McCourt and loved his sense of humour -- he seems to write continuously without filtering the thoughts that fleet through his mind and i think that is awesome.

oh, and i also painted my nails in my favourite colour in a reverse french/half moon manicure. i first saw it on the cherry blossom girl and loved it to bits. i followed her tutorial but skipped the drying drops step as well as letting my base colour sit overnight (yes, i started painting them last night) to ensure that the base dries completely before sticking on the paper reinforcers and doing the top colour. there's still kinks in some places but i'm sure practice makes perfect. 

now back to marathon-ing on glee season 3 and being caught up in all their emotions. they make me cry one second and laugh my ass off in another. i love them.

HAPPY LEAP YEAR/DAY!

give life a little colour

(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6 and 7 my own)

currently obsessed over soft fabrics and vibrant colours/prints. i would love to wear that bright yellow poofy skirt (those are miu mius for heaven's sake) under bethany's jacket (armani exchange x lookbook) or miroslava duma's varsity jacket with yellow sleeves, and just a simple white slouchy tank in between it all. 

or the jackets with that orange outfit in its entirety. and a splash of pastels on the nails to tone down the look or a hint of glitter just to amp it up some more. i found the perfect pastel blue nail polish today at thefaceshop and cant wait to put them on.

on another note, my honours year starts this coming tuesday, i still have no idea what to expect from a whole new lecturing-researching regime, but we'll see.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S :)

we spent today on sunday having dimsum at ipoh, a stroll around gurney, lunch at mansion thirty two,and took the ferry back to butterworth. nothing special, but when it is with the person you treasure and miss, everything feels surreal, even the short ride on the ferry feels like the first time.

last sunday noon, gunung jerai.
