Random Screenshots
Presenting, my timeline cover. I finally succumbed to Facebook’s timeline feature or should I say, problem feature. The ‘cover’ idea is nice but the rest is a mess. Ah, at least privacy is still so-so. What do you think about my cover?
Since I’m usually online, I want to utilize the timeline to remind me of my goals and to keep moving forward…
Guess who was...

Sendai Suzume Odori
For a week, I haven’t been posting anything - and for a good reason. I joined Adamson University’s Bunka Koryu Kai for the guest performance at Nihongo Fiesta. The last time I actually performed on stage was ages ago (not counting the talent portion in last October’s pageant, even so, Oct2011 was ages ago). I just couldn’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about...

Yay for DIY Day!
Today I feel so giddy. I’ve been planning this day since… well, just last night at 2am when I wasn’t feeling sleepy yet. Unfortunately the 9am wake-up time and Divi-trip-be-back-home-by-lunch-time didn’t go as planned. I woke up at 1pm and was able to leave the house at 3pm. Good thing, I already know where to go and what to buy. Planning ahead really helps.
Here’s...

What's In My Bag?
I don’t own so many bags. But I’m quite happy since I’m not picky. I don’t also do matchy-matchy with my outfits and bags. But depending on the purpose of my usage, my bags changes - ie. I use my Adidas backpack when travelling to stuff laptop, camera, grooming kit, a book, and my planner.
I think I have enough bag to match the feel of my outfits whether they be preppy,...

Flowers Anyone?
Before you go asking about my recent FB stats lately, let me say that my boyfriend and I are not breaking up. We just both dislike the fact that everyone’s scampering around trying to get the same presents (flowers, dinner dates, chocolates, bears, what have you) to their significant others. To us, V-day is everyday. We’re so cool like that yeah?
I told him before I don’t want...

Kuala Lumpur - Part 6: Petronas & Suria
January 27, 2012 (another image-heavy post to enjoy) January 26, 2012 (another image-heavy post) read part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
On our second to the last full day in KL, we finally visited the famed Petronas twin towers. We didn’t go up the viewing deck though. It costs RM50 per adult and you’re only allowed 10mins up and there’s a long queue. Instead, we roamed around Suria KLCC.

Let me start the day’s post with my outfit photos. This is one of my favorite dresses. At first, it didn’t fit me well. Or maybe I was just too conscious of my body and my choice of clothing wasn’t into this kind. But anyway, I love this now.

To get the most out of our 24-hour KL Hop On Hop Off Tour, we squeezed out the last few hours before we check out of Hotel Equatorial. The whole bus trip without getting off board took us 2.5 hours. Photos only taken through the glaring bus window…
