CasparBFG (whom i backpacked with in Bali before)
msged to tell me bout a campaign he’s currently working on
for the environment against CO2.
Since he’s returned to Copenhagen from traveling the world for a year,
he’s back to working on creative projects,
and asked me to share with all of you I do 30 –
an environmental campaign that encourages people across the world
to turn down the temperature on their laundry to save CO2.
It’s started in Denmark by the bioinovation company Novozymes,
who creates the enzymes that makes low temperature washing possible.
I do 30 is about turning down the heat on our washing machines
while turning up the heat on those decision makers who can help give us a lot more climate friendly choices in our daily lives.
I know many of us in Malaysia memang use cold water for our machines,
but they’re trying to get as many people as possible to join their Facebook page Facebook.com/ido30 before the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen this December
so that they can show the world’s leaders that we demand more climate-friendly choices.
I went to 1U to have lunch with AshleyTheMonkey (she works there, but soon to be elsewhere! )
and popped by Bimba & Lola to have a look at their Fall Winter 09/10 collection
and pick up a couple of things i like.
Thought it’d be easy enough…
walk in, pick out, walk out.
But there were so many nice things there,
that picking out 2 items weren’t enough to quench my shopaholic hunger!
I quite liked the double-toned clutches.
But knowing me, i’m awfully clumsy and tend to drop my clutch,
PLUS it’s super difficult maneuvering a clutch + drink + camera at events!
Fierce booties with straps across the front…
Tiny studs on the toecap of the shoes! ARGH so nice!
I thought this bib necklace would fare really well with my current hairstyle!
Boots that i really liked, but didn’t fit me well at the calf area.
And i know (from many previous purchases) that it’s pointless to buy something just because i like it.
Cos more often than not, i end up wearing it twice,
and it spends the rest of its shoe lifetime gazing at me every time i pick out a pair to run out in.
I came home to check out the website at www.bimbaylola.es
Am super impressed by how they change their layout every season or something
(cos i’ve been checking it out for the past 2 years)
It used to be a view looking down on a charming village,
and now it’s a really trippy view of dogs and quirky objects
(while Feist’s My Moon My Man plays, brownie points!):
Some of my FAVOURITE items from their FW collection!
Can imagine kicking ass at an event or Barsonic in these shiny babies!
Oh fluttering heart of mine…
Am SO tempted to get this, just in case i don’t have kickass wellies to rock up in a muddy concert one day! Hunter boots would be ideal, but seeing i can’t get those in Msia,
these would suffice too!
Decisions had to be made between this bag and some shoes.
Tough decisions aiyiyi!
Check out the fabric cuffs…
and the bangles with embedded embroidery…
and the fluoro animal print ones…
*wants them ALL*
Can’t say no to fur, feather, and fringe…
In the end i went with these two pairs of shoes:
Which i’ve been wearing incessantly…
But it was SO difficult to pick!
Interesting tidbit i picked up from today’s dinner outing.
One of my close friends (she asked to remain anonymous) is good friends with one of Beyonce’s musicians,
and apparently KL was NEVER slotted in their tour schedule.
(I heard that KL wasn’t noted on her official website tour schedule, but most thought maybe it was an oversight on their part.)
The conversation between her and said musician friend went like this – Friend: Hey, why didn’t you tell me Beyonce was coming to KL/gonna cancel her show! Musician: Of course i would have told you if i was coming on tour there… KL was never even on our schedule!
Hmm.
Interesting ey.
At dinner, we went on to discuss what that meant…
I’ve danced to their entire album from beginning to end like a maniac in Bali before.
On a massage bed in the villa garden, while playing air guitar, no less.
Here’s one i headbang to alone in my room, pretending i’m a rock star:
Here’s one that i listen to a lot when i sendiri emo:
One of their newer songs that SarChan and i play for our SalahWrong sets:
i love the way she dances alone in the world, with the world as her playground.
And the scene in the supermarket…
disturbingly reminds me of something i might have done before.
I think January will be a SWEET month for me to visit my brother in Singapore…
because i can crash there for free miss him SO MUCH!
Freaking. Perfect!
This is gonna be a post with random pictures okay!

My new obsession is a gold cuff from thirtyfour
that makes me feel like i’m wearing Christmas tinsel around my wrist!
Just that it’s made of leather instead of wear-&-tear metal paper
Plus, i feel it balances my gold Nooka watch on my left wrist
Other accessories are from Kang and diva

My Aunt Gerry + Uncle Mark are back on their annual trip to KL
Whole extended family went for dim sum brunch at New One World Hotel last Sunday
Service was awfully slow at first,
then i think to shut us up,
they sent in so much food we got WAY TOO FULL!
I actually like ginseng

Went for lunch with AshleyTheMonkey the other day,
and saw a huge Halloween set up in the middle of 1U’s new wing

FaiTheMai is like some Blackberry freak,
cos he researches and tries out all these apps,
and finds out which are the best ones to use.
Me, being a cheater (and preferring to learn from someone else’s mistakes than my own )
plyed him with free drinks to just show me the better ones.

Do you ever have that feeling that certain events are meant to be?
Not coincidences, but pure ‘aligned with the universe’ kinda shit
I was thinking this due to a few people that i’ve been talking to the past month
1 month ago, i was still in my full-time job,
and coming around the bend to a new phase in my life
which is uncertain but one i’m very excited about.
And there were wonderful coincidences
– how i spoke to a few people regarding traveling and finding one’s self in life.
So wonderful, i wouldn’t call them coincidences at all.
I say it was aligned in the Universe 😉
First of all, none of these people are close to me.
And i barely bump into them,
and yet with each and every one of them,
i managed to have drawn out conversations thru which i gleaned lots of information,
with each of THEM telling me (individually) that it was meant to be too!
First was Yan.
Now Yan be the jet-setter we all envy.
Every time i see her, she’s wearing something from Louboutin,
or has just got back from Italy/Australia/Russia (u know what i mean).
