randomphotosfromthephone

have not been taking much photos lately -- thanks to the utterly forgetful side of me to leave my memory card in sunway while my camera is in penang, and the perpetually lazy side of me to never lug my camera along -- but this means my phone camera is given the chance to be of service. with much needed help from photoshop, there you go.

naked tree branches at dusk along the walkway from sunway college to pyramid; new mint-coloured striped top from cotton on at 2 for rm70, paired with an old purple skirt = feeling like a brinjal; xiaoxiao under mum's car, obviously unhappy at being stalked by the creature-with-a-phone; lengzai and lenglui under papa's car parked by the roadside.

sweet things

because simin was craving for strawberry custard tart, we went on a mission to hunt for it at practically every dessert/confectionery place at pyramid after my class, but to no avail. meh, "why is it so hard to find such a simple little dessert in a sprawling place" was her ongoing complain. and so we settled for a runny but beautifully bitter tiramisu in a glass and a strawberry pavlova at delicious. still, it could- and did- not replace her intense craving for a strawberry custard tart.

i also satisfied my craving for a sleeved skater dress and new accessories. i do have to show you guys the dress someday, in the meantime do say hi to this new guy here, whom i've decided to name Quirkee whilst he was in the process of modeling for me (hi quirkee). i am sure he would fit in perfectly fine with his other owl friends in my wardrobe/jewellery box.

oh and we met yujia! i have missed her so much :)

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. 

rainbow

haji lane, singapore; htc diamond2, 15122011

i saw a perfect rainbow in the sky today. and bought the perfect colour-block pleated skirt at haji lane. and also made acquaintance with the cutest 6year old ginger kitty (jack) at one of the stores, he approves of the coin purse we bought!

snippets

blogging has become sporadic since my holidays, so here's a peek at my life for the past two months. be warned, picture overload.

1. anusha, simin and i went up to genting for a one day fun at the peak, our clothes and shoes were soaking wet from the fume ride, and whilst we were sunbasking ourselves in the hot sun/cold breeze, three of us developed mild sunburns;

bentos - simin and i made sandwiches, packed them, and customized with our names written on the wrapping. cute and yummy!

2. took random pictures;

spontaneous shot on penang bridge during the penang bike week 2011 in june.

3. went on a 3 days trip to kuching with yujia and kinta, and talked deep into the night until we fell asleep;

self-timer shots are always necessary!

4. celebrated ahkong's 80th, it was a very heartwarming dinner and we had a fun family get-together over the entire weekend;

5. played with xiaoxiao and hung around with the family of stray kitties that live across the street from our home;

6. celebrated mummy's birthday on the 3rd of august;

nah, it's all safe.

7. took more random pictures;

subway white chocolate macadamia cookie, soooo good!

8. and spent the past thursday and friday with him and our friends before moving back here at sunway. we had a karaoke session on thursday, and shopped around kl (midvalley-sg wang-fahrenheit-pavilion) on friday. we got matching t-shirts from uniqlo and he bought me a pair of ballet flats as the soles of my current pair are on the brink of being torn apart.

say hi, girls :)

caramel cheesecake from nando's, tastes like heaven.

at pavilion - the guys. was focusing on the signage behind them though. 

9. we also chased down a ferrari 458 italia while descending genting (again) after having dinner and a quick stroll. converted the picture from a video i took, hence the noise, this photo just does not do it justice, at all. i guess all of us were on a roll that night as another yellow 458 italia zoomed pass us when we hit the highway.

10. commencing work tomorrow with my psychology lecturer in uni as a part-time research assistant, nervous! my first job in my 22 years of life, keeping my fingers crossed!

friday,

the day, not the song, consisted of a 4 hour killing shopping spree (unbelievably-cheap-clothes-overhaul) at the zara warehouse sales -- specifically the rm10 section, some four cheese pizza and spaghetti with fried onion and calamari in squid ink at capricciosa. and some pretty black pearly (not-so) whites. they are delish! newly opened at sunway pyramid, a must try!

i didnt get this, but still think that i should = regretting. hope it will still be there when kaireen goes there again tomorrow :/

sista jackets :D

this is anusha's best score!

the above three pics (and more) are testament of what could be done when there is no mirror in-sight when trying to try on -- with grave effort and possibly some serious embarrassing as well as image-tarring moments -- massively marked down clothes. yes, you ask your friends (or strangers) to help you take a picture of yourself using (my) sub-standard diamone2 camera. after taking like dozens of pic, the staff came up to us and said 'sorry, no pictures allowed' but being the loyal malaysians we are, that did not stop us :D 

last writing assignment! and i'm done for the semester and my degree life. until my final finals on 14th that is.
