OOTDs From My Phone

Ok so, this is supposed to be a day when i talk about fashion stuff. However, i soon realize after 1 month that i dun really have so freaking much of things to talk about for this fashion corner. So, i will turn this fashion wednesday to freestyle wednesday lol. Sometimes, i will post about fashion when i have something to write about, if not i will post about... i dunno, maybe things that i love recently or things happened to me this week =)

Anyway, today i'll still post something related to fashion. Some of my OOTDs lol.

This is me when i was going to vote for the GE13 last Sunday. I assumed that the place will be quite hot and since 700 people is gonna vote in the same place, i expect a long queue too. That's why i picked the top. Then, since it's a serious thing, i thought i might just wear a jeans in case they need a formal look. But it turned out i'm just overworried lol. The scarf and necklace were just to accessorize the top as it will look v plain without them.

And, this is me when i was working at the hospital last time. Sorry for the wrinkles on the top lol. The top was actually a casual wear from H & M, but i thought i can make it looks more formal by tucking it into the skirt. And the skirt was actually a jeans-like material but since it's a dark navy colour, it doesn't look too bad for work.

And this, is just a piece from Zara which i found it inspiring. However, when i tried it on, the patterns shocked me. Didn't plan to see this Sunflower-like patches all over the top so i made up my mind NOT to get it lol. If it's not the sunflowers, i might actually buy it.

This is the outfit i wore when i went to Vietnam. The top is the same as the one i wore to vote (first pic). But this time i tuck it into the high-waist shorts. Also, i tied up my hair. Part of the reason was the heaty weather but also because it makes me look smart and neat as my hair was at the not-long-not-short period.

This is also taken from the Vietnam trip. Beatles top from H & M with the hat from Accessorizes. The T-shirt is to cover up my shoulders as the tour guide said we were going to visit some places that has outfit restrictions. The hat was just for accessorizing purpose haha.

Anyway, i'm a huge huge fans for H & M as clothes there are really cheap back in UK. Also, love Accessorizes but things are expensive/ above-average there. Love most of the Spain brands, including Zara, Bershka (they have great T-shirts), Pull & Bear, MNG, etc. Me and my friend went crazy when we went to Spain, and so excited to shop in Madrid.

So, that's all for today. =)

DIY Wall Art - Hide The Unused Switch!

After the dramatic general election, time to adjust my feelings back to normal lol.

Today, i'm gonna tell you one of the easy way to hide an unused switch on the wall! This is because one of the switch for the stair light in my house was broken but i still accidentally go and try using it all the time. So, thought if i hide it with something, i will be able to not acting stupid as well as to decorate that plain boring wall =)

These are the materials i used to create a canvas-like board. Two shallow boxes i got from buying the photo frame, few piece of calender papers/other unused papers, the wood texture wallpaper and a piece of my new painting.

So, first thing is to glue the two rectangular boxes together to create a square canvas. Then, stick the papers onto the boxes to hide the edges and the glued part of the boxes.

This is how it looks like after i glue everything on. Then, if you want to be artistic/too lazy to do the next step, this can go on to the wall already lol.

Next thing i do is turn the box around and measure the length of wallpaper i required using the measurement at the back of the wallpaper. Real easy. The tricky part is the next step, which is to stick on the wallpaper nicely without having bubbles popping up. If you don't have wallpaper, you can also use fabrics, papers anything you like as long as it looks nice!

And here is how it looks like after sticking the wallpaper.

And, the back view. The advantage of using two rectangular boxes is that when you hanging it on the wall, you can literally just put it on. No glue no bluetag no nails. This is because the switch will be able to handle the weight by stucking in the middle of the canvas where the two rectangular boxes is combined.

And, i put on my latest drawing on it and it looks just nice.

The final look. It makes my stairwall looks better and also add bonus points to my painting as well. The most important thing is, i won't press on the switch again!

Hope you guys like this =)

The Black Monday

As some people are awared that yesterday was the voting day for Malaysia General Election 13, I went back to my hometown in muar to vote with my parents.

We woke up at 6.30 am so that we can vote early. Picked up my grandparents and went to the voting centre. A lot of ppl are already queuing. I was at the youngsters line as I think they arrange the queue according to age. We were excited because most of us are first time voters. The guy in front of me said he just came back from china on Saturday purely to vote. Although we dunno each other, we chat happily just because we have the same goal which is to transform malaysia to a better place by using our precious vote.

I inked my finger and checked my vote. Just to make sure I did everything correct. After voting, I can see a lot of ppl complaining their blue ink had already 50% gone. Some even manage to clean their finger spotless clean outside the voting centre. Well, although the newspapers and radios keep saying the ink is indelible, we are know what is the truth in our heart. 5 million ringgit is used to bought all the indelible ink. I believe there are real indelible ink in some area but maybe they blur and mistakenly used other ink, I dunno. Or maybe according to news on tv, apparently they nv shake the bottle properly.

Anyway, we are glad we voted. We can see all the supporters cheering on the street and its really like a big family. People with PAS flags are inside the bak kut teh shop (non-halal). Malays, Chinese and Indians all cheering for the same party. I'm proud of my people.

We went back to jb to have dinner and quickly rush home to check the voting result. The voting centre closed at 5pm, some earlier. The result start coming out at 7 plus or 8pm. All the results came out were from Sarawak, ppl there are very efficient. And as predicted, bn won most seats. However, results from west malaysia keep on delaying and delaying and delaying. During first count, according to unofficial results, PR won a lot of seats. They gain more than half state seats in Penang, selangor, perak, negeri sembilan, kelantan and Terengganu. Then suddenly, a lot of places blackout. People at those scenes saw cars trying to break into the counting centre. People took picture of boxes of mysterious votes in those cars. And suddenly, ppl who leads by 1k plus votes lost by 300 votes. We all know what happen, we just couldn't believe it.

In the end PR only gets 3 states and lost the parliament seats fight. People were pissed, frustrated, sad, disappointed on Facebook.

This election is transparent, because we all see what happens, regardless good or bad.

This election is a wake up lesson for us, first time voters. I believe a lot of us only start looking at politic stuff because of the election. Our parents always say politic is complicated, can get ugly and can be shocking. Now we know how ugly and shocking it can get.

Transformation is a long time fight. People have to continue making effort despite of the loss this time. It's like life, you have to try harder and harder each time no matter how hard u hit the ground and break ur nose.

I believe Malaysians are now stronger and united after the GE13. And we still hope for a better future.

Galileo the Detective

Yo TGIF again! Anyway, due to the overcrowded queue getting tickets for Iron Man 3, i didnt manage to watch it last weekend, therefore no IM3 today =(

So, i'll introduce dramas instead!

Hope you guys enjoy Japanese drama cos I really love it haha. I'm currently self-studying Japanese so that i know how to read them. By the way, due to the excessive exposure to J-dramas, animes and shows, I have successfully learn to listen and speak Japanese (elementary level). So now i'm gonna learn how to read and hopefully i can go Japan and live a life of a Japanese over there. How exciting!

Anyway, today my recommended drama will be < Galileo> (ガリレオ). Recently <Galileo 2> is out so i thought i will recommended the series as the 1st season was good.

The story is basically about a young female police who has to deal with smart killers who used tricks to complete unexplainable crimes. Therefore she seeked help from a physicist in the well-known university in Japan. The physicist will use his knowledges to help coming up with a scientific explanation for the crime. The chemistry between the 2 lead characters is fun and interesting, which also spice up the story.

This drama is based on the detective novel <探偵ガリレオ> written by one of my favourite Japanese writer Higashino Keigo (東野圭吾). He's like the famous famous writer who has a lot of his stories used to produce dramas and movies. And because of his great stories, a lot of great actors/actresses will participate in the dramas/movies.

I will recommend to watch the first season because it is great. There is also a movie <Suspect X> followed by the drama due to the great positive reviews, which is mainly about the physicist and his old friend aka the killer, who is a genius in mathematics. That is also a great movie because i was pretty surprised when the trick of manipulating the alibi was revealed.

I'm not too sure about the 2nd season yet. Till now there is 3 episodes and i find the interaction between the new female police (new original character made up just for the TV) and Galileo is very funny and interesting, but the story itself is kinda boring. Don't think the story is anymore based on the novel as I have read the whole Detective Galileo series and the story is different. There is no more simple tricks but 2 out of 3 episodes the trick is relying on the machine or device the killer has. So ya, not a big fan of it now, maybe wait for a few more episodes to determine whether it's good.

Skinfood Almond Milk Rich Foot Cream

Ok, i promised to do some introduction on products for feet so i'm gonna do it now =)

Anyway, i need to tell you guys how i get the product first haha. I was happily shopping with my bf at the Skinfood shop to get something for his mum, and I was happy because due to her large amount of purchase, i had my skinfood redemption card all stamped so i get to pick a free gift for myself haha. Despite how angry the shop assistant looks and how terrible her attitude was, i'm still happy to get a free foot moisturizing cream. Yes, i'm just trying to complain how rude that sales assistant was, she was like giving me the face as if i owed her million dollars. She is pretty but RUDE.

Anyway, i pick up the foot moisturizing cream as due to the weather and the frequency of me wearing slippers my feet became really dry. It's not cracking but still you can scratch off white flakes (the dead skins) from the edge of the feet. I find it disturbing and is determined to rectify this situation.

This foot cream is very moisturizing, it's kinda like the shea butter body lotion from Bodyshop. It smells nice too. I would advice people to actually apply it before sleep as you won't need to walk around to prevent falling down due to the slippery feet haha. Also, it is to prevent people from getting fungal infections e.g. Athlete foot when they put on socks straight after applying the cream.

So i have tried it for a few days and i quite like the effect of the cream, it's extremely moisturizing not like some of the cream they tend to be very easily vaporated, this stay on the skin and is slowly being absorbed.

My first foot cream and hopefully it will be so great that i dun need to look for a 2nd option =)
