… to get crazyyyy. I guess festive period is really over.
Here are a bunch of pictures from my wonderful weekend and some randoms from my past week. I usually divide them into categories like fashion, food, weekend, events, etc; but then discovered i sometimes forget to post certain pix. So i’m just gonna campakkan semua into one post so it’s just a chronological account of my life la ok.
First are some fashion pix!
What i wore to work one day. I’ve been feeling a lot more colour of late and managed to find these two separate pieces from Topshop and Azorias in the exact same shade, so i wore them together XD
Wearing a necklace from one of my favourite regional jewellery brands – By Invite Only
A lounge-y kinda day.
Peach top from Leftblock, pants from Topshop Unique, laptop case cum clutch from Snupped.
Bought the striped top in Bangkok, and the lightning bolt pants in Urban Outfitters.
Couldn’t decide what colour to have my manicure in so i got them in all.
Vintage shirt from Absolute Vintage.
Admiring my Melissa + Karl Lagerfeld ice cream shoes before dashing to the ELLE launch.
They’re incredibly comfy!
Sorted out some of my accessories just to remind myself what i have and to wear them!
Lainie commented “You know that moment Carrie wonders where all her money is and looks into her closet?”
… i don’t wanna talk about it.
I went by POP @ Jaya One to check on the KinkyBlueFairy store.
We’re having a storewide sale of 20% discount on every item btw!
I ended up buying stuff from other vendors’ pop up stores, like MT tape.
I never knew nice tape can be so ex! (Also cos i never bought any before)
Let myself buy ONE for around RM20.
Also got some cute socks and sunnies from By Jap!
Got the new calligraphic eyeliner pen with eye shadow palatte colours from Shu Uemura
I’ve been taking my Smartshake everywhere with me! It’s got different compartments to store whatever you please – nuts, berries, powders, keys, etc. You can purchase them at Bodytone outlets (Mont Kiara, Bangsar, GE Mall)
I got a new Dyson DC62! So now i put my Dyson Ball in the office.
The DC62 is cordless, light, and i can change the pieces with a simple click so it’s crazy easy to vacuum anything without fiddling with wires (i hate doing that).
It’s inspiring me to write a post on my favourite gadgets in my house…!
Went to Marmalade for a meeting with Azura, who just celebrated her birthday!
Happy Birthday Disney princess!
I chose Marmalade cos i wanted to be good and stuff myself with their salads… but i ended up trying their curry laksa.
I made leek and sweet potato soup from scratch one night!
Topped it off with some crushed cashew nuts and black pepper.
Clem hates sweet potatoes so this is ONE way i can get him to consume it.
Like feeding a child.
I was very impressed by the contents of my own fridge! Have finally estimated how much vege and fruit i can go through in less than a week, and buy diff kinds so i don’t get bored.
An almost perfect bunch of grapes!
Clem took me to Le Midi for dinner on Friday, we had the couples’ menu of beef carpaccio, risotto, seared duck and dessert.
On Saturday we went to Claudia’s home cos her mum was making assam laksa from a family recipe!
With baby Leo, one of Jan’s twins.
I always thought i’d prefer a girl (just so i could dress her up!!) but i must say… having Leo on my lap felt so GOOD, i now think i wouldn’t mind a boy first either. (I’m not saying i want to get pregnant now… If you’re reading this Mummy, don’t get overexcited just yet.)
Fahmi: So boy, any ideas for the development of a better Malaysia?
Bean: THIS CAR IS SO YUMS OH EM GEE THE TASTE OF THIS WHEEL
Jade loving Bean’s Sophie
The kitchen smelled SO GOOD.
I was creeping in to look and sniff and take pictures.
Assam laksa ho ho hoooo
Aunty Cecilia also cooked us curry laksa, like as if the assam laksa wasn’t enough!
Not complaining tho.
I had a bowl of each and my tummy felt like it was in Penang.
Life of swag parents – baby bottles, beer and Bellinis (made by James)
Clem & Leo
Jade on the floor chillin’, Leo in Rahul’s lap, Nat behind.
I asked Rahul if he wanted to carry Leo at first, cos i held him for so long, and Rahul shook his head and said, “Erh, no, i’m scared of babies…”
Me: “Oh i was scared last time too! You just gotta TAKE him.”
And i promptly handed him over.
Lesson is: if the baby starts crying, just hand him back to their parent and you’re home free. Haha.
After a few hours of stuffing ourselves with food, drinking wine and Bellinis, playing with babies, and gambling losing money to Uncle James; Clem and i headed to Nagaba @ Changkat for the Twinkies Sunset party.
With Tai Yong
With the Twinkies AKA Arabyrd and Nadia
My metallic electric blue sandals from Nine West
I was home and showered by 10pm cos i was feeling kinda tired!
And… i’m trying not to party so late on weekends anymore cos when i do, i’m too hungover to do much during the day when it’s so much fun to DO STUFF.
I told Clem to stay out cos i didn’t mind having alone time at home and ended up lying on the sofa thinking (seriously, i never have enough time to just SIT down and THINK), rearranged my make up stuff, did some writing, and read my book!
The next day, i went for lunch with my parents.
They took me to this old-school Seremban hakka mee coffee shop in Aman Suria which i haven’t been to for years.
It was super crowded amidst rows of deserted and quiet-looking shophouses!
Mummy playing with Caeser while my dad helped me fix new rim caps (that my bro ordered from the US) and a side lamp (that i knocked ages ago). I’ve knocked the same signal light twice and every time it happens my bro has to order the parts from overseas -_-
Daddy: So now you have two lights for the same side waiting for you.
Me: No. No more knocking my side lamps :p
Y U DO THIS TO MEEEE
Whatever Caeser. I put a picture of you up on my IG and it gets more likes than anything else -_-
In the evening i went for Matt’s birthday BBQ… quite late i might add XD
Well, my excuse was that i wanted to see my parents.
I see my friends more than my parents and i need to… find more balance.
So i just have to learn that i can’t say YES to every single social happening.
CC, Spanky and i
Lucas, Helo, me, Mawar
I bumped into Nino at the pool!
He was so skinny i didn’t recognise him for an hour -_-
Cammy’s defensive face when everyone was laughing at Cameron’s man boobies.
I swear i was only laughing cos of the way Serena and Jacie were giggling.
Cameron was so fascinated by the loud music coming from the speakers and kept leaning in to them.
Isaiah (Melati & Greg’s little boy) came over to check out the scene but said it was too loud and went away.
Cammy and i looked at each other, looked at Cameron who was still gravitating toward the music and went, “Party boy!!!!”
Before the sun set, i forced convinced Clem to go down to the pool area at our apartment so i could play with my hoop and hang out in the setting sunshine for just a little bit more. It was such a nice weekend that i didn’t want it to end!
