FURLA Fall/Winter 2015 Press Event
I consider Furla my play bags.
Maybe cos the Furla bags i have happen to all be really fun and i’m prone to taking them with me on holidays, weekends and party nights out!
This Fall/Winter, Furla readily exalts its signature traits of being filled with joyfulness and creativity.
Right down my alley.

They have flaps that are sold separately so you can switch them for different looks too!
Of course i reached for the sparkly one first…

YogaOneThatiWant
After months of constant traveling + eating + drinking, i can’t fit into my regular pants anymore.
I’ve gone up a clothing size. Friends have said i look better putting on some weight, but i can’t bear being jiggly!
So i’m really really reallyyyyy trying to implement more workout / movement time into my schedule.
I’m taking up yoga again, after not bothering to go / making excuses for the past 3 years or so.
I know it looks like i’m putting my head into a dustbin, but i swear it’s a light.
That’s me after class – all smiles but feeling like melting into the ground.
After months and maybe YEARS of telling Atilia that i’d drop by her studio – YogaOneThatiWant – i FINALLY went for my first class.
Thomas Sabo AW15 Love Bridge Bracelet
Thomas Sabo invited me for their Autumn Winter event to launch their new store in Gardens, with dinner at Sage afterward. I wore some pieces from their latest collection during the event that they laid out for me, and despite missing the dress code on the invite, it all still managed to match. Score.
I’m wearing rings, bracelets and necklaces from Thomas Sabo,
my gold watch from KLASSE,
dress from the now defunct Gallo by Thian (i do miss that brand),
and shoes from Love, Bonito
Amber Chia, Xandria Ooi, me, and Venice Min
There were (as always) so many highlights surrounding the season’s collections which were shot by provocative photographer Ellen von Unwerth with top models Georgia May Jagger and Marlon Teixeira.
New filigree Karma Beads fashioned from radiant 925 Sterling silver or with 18k rose-gold plating were added to the line of more that 140 beads, with some of my favourite features – animals! Look out for frogs, squirrels, bears, hedgehogs, owls and falcons this autumn 😀
Glam & Soul and Rebel At Heart collections include Fatima’s Garden, a series with stylised lotus flower petals that capture ornamental opulence with sparkling zirconia- pavé, synthetic spinels and radiant rose quartz. Think an enchanted Indian garden full of gorgeous blossoms and intensive colour hues.
If you lean more towards modern and feminine designs, the Pearl series playfully reinterprets classic pearl jewellery along with floral accents. And oh, my favourite pieces i have my eye on… the Ear Jackets (made from sparkling rows of zirconia, small skulls or simple silver balls) and Mini Rings.
That evening, the spotlight was deservingly shone upon the Thomas Sabo Love Bridge (there’s a long story between me and this bracelet which i didn’t expect but you gotta read on to find out). Each Love Bridge bracelet each has a filigree bar made of 925 Sterling silver that joins the two ends of the bracelet, which you can engrave with up to 15 characters (include Chinese characters and many cute symbols like a heart and the infinity sign).
Inspired by the practice of people engraving iron locks and securing them on love bridges around the world to immortalise their connection, Thomas Sabo came up with a Love Bridge of its own where people regardless of being sweethearts, best friends or family members can express their affection for each other in their own individual ways with loving words or beautiful life mottos.
Two special engraving machines have specially been brought into the Thomas Sabo stores in Malaysia just for the Love Bridge bracelets!
But hey, there are lots of pictures from the night… so i’m gonna bring you right back to the very beginning when i arrived.

HotelQuickly | Weekend Sweet-Escape
*written by Baby*
A few weeks ago at the office…
Baby: Urghh… Why is everyone leaving me for London? You *points to Joyce*, for Fashion Week and you *points to April*, for school!
April: Aiya… sorry la King.
Joyce: I won’t be gone for 6 weeks again, Baby *whilst checking her email*. Hey, do you want to go for the HotelQuickly Weekend Sweet-Escape?
Baby: Sure. Since EVERYONE is leaving me anyway!
#KBFdrama
I was told to meet up with the marketing and PR team from HotelQuickly at Green Tomato Cafe, Jalan Ritchie at 1.30PM. I’d already planned to Uber my way there on Saturday when I got an email from Natasha with the title “Surprise FREE Uber rides for you!”
And my reply to her was, “I was planning to Uber my way there. How did you know?”
I was entitled to seven free Uber rides and each ride is worth RM50. To Uber Black or not, that is the question 😉
The interesting thing about HotelQuickly‘s Weekend Sweet-Escape is that there was no itinerary. They would only reveal our next activity after we’re done with the first one. My first and only clue was to meet up at the cafe in KL. On Saturday morning, I panicked because I didn’t know what to pack.
And then I remembered my trip to Penang with Joyce for the #LiveinLevis project last year. We were there for only two nights but she packed like we were going away for a week. [Joyce: Babyyyyyyy!!!!]
Baby: That’s a big bag, do you really need all those clothes?
Joyce: I always over pack, babe. And I bring only my nicest clothes because… I’m from KL, man… REPRESENT! [Joyce Disclaimer: i swear i don’t remember saying this.]
True enough, on our night-outings, she looked like a million bucks and I on the other hand looked like a runaway! Live and learn, Baby!
So in true Joyce-style I overpacked on purpose! Nice clothes only because… I’m from KBF, man… REPRESENT!
At 1PM, I booked my Uber and by 1.25PM, I was already at Green Tomato Cafe.
In my Uber enroute to our first meet-up spot.
[Joyce: Your tiny feet… ho ho ho]
When I got there, I met Natasha and Wen Dee from HotelQuickly, and a blogger Riz Baldivia.
Let me tell you about HotelQuickly. It is Asia’s #1 last-minute booking-only app and a mobile-first product designed for the modern traveller and those self proclaimed with “wanderlust”. The app redefines the concept of last minute hotel booking in the mobile commerce with 6,000 curated hotels in 200+ destinations across 15 different countries in Asia Pacific. All hotels are handpicked by the HotelQuickly team and only the best rated 3-star to 5-star hotels are listed in the app.
“The hotel deals in our app are on average 30% off cheaper than the best available rates online. The app can be easily downloaded for free on iOS and Android devices. Overall, HotelQuickly serves to be the ultimate app for customers who wish to take on quick vacations, book a hotel-stay during missed or delayed flights and even those who just simply appreciate the thrill of travelling,” explained Wen Dee.
“The reason why HotelQuickly is a last minute only booking app is because people nowadays have very busy lifestyle or they’re always on-the-go and they don’t really know what’s next. For example, when you have a very stressful week at work and you just want to wind-down during the weekend but also want a different environment – you want something fun or something fancy this is where HotelQuickly comes in. You can just turn to the app and book your hotel!” she shared further.
Some of the hotels in KL that’s partnered-up with HQ are Grand Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental, Shangri-La, Fraser Residence, E&O Residences and many more.

After the introduction, Natasha and Wen Dee revealed our next activity which is… batik workshop at My Batik. We were given options whether to do batik blocking or batik colouring. Colouring for me, please! I chose an existing design with two birds on it.
After I chose my design, I was asked to write my name with wax using the tjanting.
