November

Times really fly! Today marked the 11months i moved to SG 

7 months working and I'm growing closer to 30 day by day! 

if someone tell me i'm doing what I'm doing right now a year ago, i will definitely say no way!

as a year ago i'm really happy with my freelance jobs, one way ticket, life in KL with family around, we actually planned to get pregnant a month before hubby is informed to moved here to work!

and plan canceled! too bad! if not i would have a baby in my arm now~ 

but i'm not blaming anyone or complaning as i know deep in my heart its all God's plan to us   

now hubby is blessed with a better job (he changed to another company recently) and I'm used to 9 to 5 life! the only thing i really miss is our family and church members..

been asked by few people what i really want to do in future, my answer is always housewife! hahah

seriously i don't even bother to be freelancer anymore! i just want to be a simple housewife..or homemaker (a nicer name) 

i love the idea of taking care of babies preparing meals for husband and kids! can't wait the days to come maybe i will regret but at the meantime that's my ultimate goal! haha added that in my prayer list.

just being random if not this post it's gonna be too short, my belated birthday gift from hubby

have been eyeing on it for longest time and finally!
love the size and design so much just nice for wallet, phone and small water bottle! love it max
Thanks hubby ming!

Birthday Staycation: Sofitel So Bangkok

We choose Sofitel So Bangkok for my birthday staycation

normally we don't really care what hotel we stay in BKK coz all i wanna focus is shop and shop and more shopping so i would rather option on clean boutique hotel since i will spend most my time outside but this year is different i think is probably sign of aging when come to travel we wish it to be relax and chill..

so out of so many luxury hotel in BKK Sofitel So Bangkok seems to be the best choice 

waiting to check in in the hobby the Hotel is nicely designed with awesome services

you will be greeted at the lobby and asked to sit while they will do all the procedure for check in

with welcome mocktail

one of the main reason we choose this Hotel because its themed accommodation created around the Five Elements – Water, Earth, Wood, Metal and Fire. Masterpiece of collaboration by Thailand’s top five designers, an award-winning architect and the world renowned fashion designer Monsieur Christian Lacroix! Every single design aspect and element of every nook and cranny was meticulously designed with taste and flair, and I was so impressed with the beautiful interior decor!

we option for So comfy room with Water element concept 

that's our room at floor 25

Minimalist design with cool dark marble. Drink in skyline panoramas from every vantage point. Open concept with  HUGE bathtub is the main focus of this room that can fit few people! 

there's a changing area, bedroom and living area, bathtub and shower are then washroom 

Welcome snack and drink on the left and tv linked with mac mini and wireless keyboard which around you surf net and watch endless drama and movies from bed, sofa and even bathtub

that's me enjoying my birthday gift, awesome stay ever which remind us of our honey moon villa in Bali

Sofitel So Bangkok take details seriously they send me a birthday cake when we're back from dinner!

i appreciate this small gesture that make me don't want to leave this place

But after I got married he have been asking when am I getting baby or start planning for one since the fist day! sometimes don't know why he will feel very geram scold me why so stupid married but don't want baby! 

#1 He have been bugging me this question at every dinner, lunch and breakfast.. Especially when there's other ppl around he will emphasize more on this topic, there's once we having dinner with in law he ask my in law do they know when we having baby? How they will know! They don't even dare to ask us! And he asked them to encourage us to start trying and planing 

#2 whenever he overheard me n my mum conversation about others babies he will cut in from nowhere and asked when are you start talking about ur own baby rather than others!! 

#3 we in the mall and a mum pass by with a stroller.He will say hey you see very shiok ler people can push stroller, don't you think so?!? Pass by mothercare!See people busy buying baby stuff and you forever buying your own so not boring meh? 

#4 He then realize all these method doesn't work he try to bribe me! He say he will buy us a expensive stroller that is the Ferrari in the baby stroller world, a good baby cot, 1 year supply of milk powder got valid date some more this offer valid until nov 2015! Meaning I have to conceive now if I wanna have all theses sponsored! Haha got so desperate ornot this grandfather! 

We actually have a plan but we didn't tell him and we're glad we did! we have enjoyable 2 years living as a couple enjoy life going travel and be able to move for better career path.. i strongly believe these are wonderful plan from God! now we're more stable in financial and mentally so we will see what God plan next!

Giveaway + Canmake Juicy Pure Eyes & Stay On Balm Review!

Latest products from Canmake launch in Malaysia!

 Juicy Pure Eyes that come in 4 different shade

Each palette contains 3 neutral tone of eyeshadow! 

It's a oil-rich formula eyeshadow that enhances translucence and maintains the dewy look, fitting oil helps colors cling to your eyelids, without powder scatter! i never know that! 

the Cushion powder helps colors glide gently over your eyelid.

i personally only prefer neutral shade when come to eyeshadow you can simply create daily natural look or smokey eye for dinner or event

as for my pick i choose 02 Happy Sunny Brown the eyeshadow is really pigmented the god is really shinny and shimmering!

here how i normally apply my eyeshadow

1. apply color 1 which is the gold to the whole of eye socket

2. then apply 2 the brown on the edge of the eye then blend it nicely with color 1 

3. then use the ball of finger pat color 3 on the middle of the 2 color 

pretty easy right? just 3 steps! then i use canmake liquid eyeliner to line my eye 

Stay-on Balm Rouge

i personally never try canmake lip product before this is my one and first time

i love it! it's really moisture! i try it today at work.. whole day surprisingly no broken lip as usual! i think it's because of the fomula of super-rich oils enfold your lips like a silken robe that Creates a thin film that clings flexibly to your lips, for a comfortable, non-sticky feeling that lasts and lasts.i must say this is very true! no lie ok!

08 Juicy Peony is the new color that just came to Malaysia

you know what is totally OK to apply directly, even to dry, chapped lips and you'll be amazed by how smoothly it goes on, even without applying lip balm first! Stay-on balm contains beautifying and moisturizing agents and UV protection that keeps your lips plump, soft and moist while wearing it.

6Tips for my #OOTD Photos

So happening this September! i barely have times to blog or jot down what's happening here

trust me i really miss blogging.. my september is really awesome!

spend quality time back home in KL and short vacation in bkk with hubby for my birthday

once i got back i'm busy with work mum and sis came visit then september just end like that!

 back too the trip i love vacation meaning i have endless ootd pictures! haha

so i'm taking to write this post of how to take nice ootd images

1. Background

i personally don't prefer messy background like this but the lighting is nice and give a different feel to the outcome so be bold when choosing background. my first option will always be depth rather than near to wall or backdrop so you will look lively and less boring. It's good to have a lot of options so you can avoid direct sunlight and find colors that compliment your clothing!

2. Invest a good lens

this set of photos are taken by Sony alpha a6000 with 35mm f/1.8 lens

a lot of people though of buying dslr for better quality outfit pictures actually you don't need to as long as you have a moderate mirroless camera that allow you to change lenses you can opt a better lens with good aperture to create nice blur depth of field images 

meaning to say if you have good dslr but a kit lens.. it's actually don't bring big different to the outcome

3.Details/ close up in the look

for ootd details is best to shoot it landscape and focus on less than 2 thing in your outfit for example here all i want to focus is just cut of the top and print of the skirt, try not to be too ambitious eg. put your hand up to feature accessories or watch... i love my photos to be minimalist

4.Good Lighting & Timing! 

Natural light is always the best solution for a great OOTD with a good lighting you basically do not need to edit the picture. I normally shoot my ootd outdoor before i head to a destination when i still look refresh, you wouldn't look good after a movie or whole day shopping right? so timing is important too! the only cons of shooting outdoor is always have strange staring at you but just not try to pose too hard to avoid awkwardness be yourself stare somewhere else than looking straight to the camera! *that my tips!aha

5. Poses

 is best if your photographer take candid pictures so you don't look to stiff
but i do have standard ootd pose just like pictures above this (wearing shade) one of leg is front so my leg look longer hand just relax..

6. Find Your Angles
You may try a bunch of different angles and see what you like, my hubby always have to squat down to take my ootd from below so i appear taller  (since i'm 5'3") in the pictures!

here my ootd details
Top: Platinum Mall
Bralet & Lemon Skort: Liberty Love boutique, BKK
Shoe: Charles & Keith


Hope you find my tips helpful!

My Beauty Haul - luxola.com

Here's my buy from Luxola.com! this part of my buy tho since i work there i got tempted everyday! 

here my 3CE buy and what i use for everyday make up to work  

#1 3CE Face Maker | i use it for face couture the color is light and subtle as i don't like strong couture so it's good for everyday make up 

#2 3CECream Eyeliner in Brown | always wanted a brown eyeliner for a more natural look

#3 3CE Lip Gloss in real peach | this color look not bad on me because i got good compliment when i use it, good buy!

#4 3CE Shimmer Stick in peach | another good purchase, but you have to be careful applying it and blend it nicely and evenly especially when you stroke them directly on your face

one thing good about 3ce is their color or shade are light so you can create korean inspired light and natural make up look!
