10 worst fall fashions, so true

11 comments

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was checking out my usual sites when one link led to another and I landed on this article at a website called divine caroline. The title of the article was The Ten Worst Fall Fashions. I absolutely agree with the article, so let's also count it down here too.


Number 1: Acid Washed Jeans







Acid washed jeans are hideous. They are like from the 80's, and it baffles me why they would want to bring it back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 2: Cutouts

Okay these are still okay for me. Looks a bit like beggar clothes though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 3: Oversized Shoulder Pads

The horror! These are what nightmares are made of. People wearing clothes with oversized shoulder pads walking around, like aliens. In my opinion, only grandmothers should be wearing shoulder pads, and even when my grandma wears shoulder pads you can't even see that its there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 4: Half shaved hair




Apparently Rihanna is having this hairdo now. Looks very androgynous. Not a very big offense in my books.




Unless you look like this...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 5: Harem pants




Hideous beyond belief. Wearing that makes you look like your crotch is sagging or you put like 100 pounds on your ass. Seriously.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 6: Stirrup Leggings



Only suited for chicken legs (my aunt likes to say that to represent stick like legs, so funny)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 7: Peep toe boots



Ridiculous. Just wear strappy heels if you want to show your toes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 8: Ripped tights and leggings






When most people try and avoid ripping their tights and leggings, these people wear it on purpose.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 9: Tons of studs



Actually, scratch that, anything with a single stud on it, I will reject. Seriously, studs are so annoying, they're over the top. I hate to see a perfectly decent bag spoilt by a ton of studs. Anything with studs look cheap to me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number 10: Furry Vests

Just not practical in our weather, and even though I like touching them in stores, I would never wear them out. Maybe you'll be lucky and run into a few anti-fur activists, I read in FML that this girl had pigs blood thrown on her even though she was wearing fake fur.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that blogshops are selling many many of these fashions, especially the acid washed jeans, oversized shoulder pads, Harem pants, and ripped tights & leggings. Oh and all kinds of clothes and bags that are drowned in studs.


The horror.

Yi Lyn posted these pictures from back when we were Scouts, brings back such sweet memories. We built this tower for Merdeka Day in 2005 if I'm not mistaken, when I was 16. It was our blood sweat and tears, not easy putting that thing up okay, look at how high it is, imagine how deep was the holes that we had to dig for the base. We did it in the hot sun, I got a wicked sunburn, tied lashings high up (I think it was almost 2-3 stories high? compared to our school buildings). We climbed all the way up when we were done. It was kinda scary as the thing shook quite a bit. The satisfaction we felt when it was done was priceless.


While the tower was still on the way I think haha





This pic I'm not so sure when did we take this, according to Yi Lyn it was when we went for SMK Taman SEA's campfire, but from our uniforms this was when we were 16 if I'm not mistaken. Because we already had our Jayadiri badge and senior patrol badge but my assistant patrol leader badge is not on my uniform yet.

Ah how I miss Scouts. Those were one of the five best years of my life.

I got lost in Ipoh

13 comments

Yes I did get lost in Ipoh, I wasn't the one driving though, my friend/groupmate Andrea was driving, and she's from Setiawan (its in Perak, further down Ipoh).

We were driving to Hospital Fatimah in Ipoh from Kampar for an interview with a psychiatrist there, and we had about 40 mins to get there. We wanted to use the highway, but Andrea wasn't sure if the 2 exits we passed was the right tolls so we ended up taking the old road. And because we didn't know our way around, we got totally lost.

Our other groupmate Yee Jah's bf Soon Keat (who is also our classmate) only knew the way from the highway so Andrea ended up asking her mom, and her bro but we sort of got more confused because we didn't even know where we were. Our appointment was at 12pm, and Andrea had to go back by 2pm to take her Moral midterm (we took ours in the morning), in the end there wasn't enough time to even get back to Kampar for her midterm because we somehow managed to get ourselves to Chemor which is like the opposite direction from Kampar.

We then decided to go straight to Hospital Fatimah and thanks to directions from Valar, we finally managed to get there at 2pm. We then waited till 3 for the doctor to see us.

Oh yes, we also had 2 near death experiences, one car almost bang us from the right and the other from the left. Happy that we survived the trip to Ipoh lol. We followed Soon Keat's car back through the highway so at least we didn't get lost on the way back.

Ipoh is a maze with little roadsigns bleh.

Daniel's 21st

2 comments


November 1st 1988 was the day Daniel Goh was born. Now that baby is 21 years old (hahaha so old =P nah just kidding). So on Halloween (Oct 31st) we went to KLCC for an early celebration, just the two of us.





That is his present from me, I sewed this envelope and embroidered his name and address on it, complete with a stamp and postmark. Of course if I compare it to the original that I found online (its a tutorial, here *click*), mine is not as nice, since I didn't use Bondaweb and both pieces are felt so its a bit too thick, i also didn't have a sewing machine so I did all by hand, but mine is still quite cute =P I also sewed a red heart, and put in a cardboard with his birthday message together with a stud I bought for his ear piercing. He loves it hehe






We watched Jennifer's Body, man it was sucky. I mean, I'm the sort of person that is pretty tolerant with movies, I usually enjoy it even though people say its not nice, but Jennifer's Body is seriously bad. Megan Fox can't act, the whole movie she has like the same expression almost, and the whole thing is seriously, about her body. The storyline was also not that good, and she was scary when she spewed that black goo from her mouth. Well, guys that just wanna admire her body will enjoy the movie I guess. But even Daniel didn't enjoy the movie.



We went The Apartment Downtown for lunch. I loveee the atmosphere there, pretty cool, and we had a nice view from our table. I liked our food, Daniel had their Mediterranean burger and I had their Chicken in a Bag. It was heaven man, so creamy, but towards the end had a bit of jelak feeling, as with all creamy foods.


Nice atmosphere. Lol my arm spoil the shot



View from our table



Daniel's Mediterranean burger and Red apple juice



My Chicken in a Bag and Peach Cooler



We also went around KLCC, I was trying to shop but nothing caught my eye, so frustrating. 1u is still the best place to shop. Also went to visit Jimmy at work. Went Kinokuniya, Daniel bought his Mac Snow Leopard bible haha damn thick. I felt like buying so many books there :( Everytime I go to Kinokuniya I always like seeing their fossils and gemstones section, fascinating. I dream of collecting them, some gemstones are pretty cheap, some cost hundreds. Ammonite fossils are so pretty.


Aren't they pretty? Fascinating I know, their way of life is a mystery (parts)



Random shot


At around 6 we had to go back already, since Daniel had to go Westin Hotel for his birthday dinner with his family. They stayed the night there, so nice.

Tonight there will be another celebration, for him, Melanie and Beatrice (Melanie and Vicki's uni classmate) so yay, another blog post coming up soon.

Foxy foxy

8 comments



This is one of my latest creations, a foxy fox :D I drew it myself :) could have stuffed the face a little more at the snout but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sew it on to the body if it was too full. I think I was inspired by my memory of Fantastic Mr Fox from Roald Dahl, one of my favourite authors of all time. I still enjoy reading his books now =P


The one that I have



I consider the fox to be my favourite animal, always did like how they looked like, so cute! Like the fox from that Disney classic movie, The Fox and The Hound. I like their fur, the shape of their snout, their tail.


The Fox and The Hound



And from I can has cheezburger, most of it (if not all) is associated with Mozilla Firefox (which I use of course, I don't use IE bleh). Like these:


Awww


Awwww


Awwwww


I always thought that my dog Rex looks a bit like a fox, almost same snout and tail, maybe that's why I love him so much hehe. Or maybe it's the other way around lol



Just a little resemblance ;)

I'm backkkk :D

2 comments

Weeeee I have my internet back! :DDD

I have been MIA online for the past week since I came back to Kampar for my short trimester. We had a nasty shock when we tried to go online but the line was down. We then found out that there was something wrong with the port for the whole area at our place, but when everybody else's streamyx was back ours was still down.

After several days of agony without the internet and calling to TM, we finally found out that our modem was also spoilt, which was the main reason. So a new modem was bought and I'm back online :D

This past week I have been watching How I Met Your Mother season 4, and I managed to control myself from watching all the episodes in one go.

Thank goodness, now I can skype :D
