21st century formal.



I have been visiting LookBook for quite sometime and like it so much.
I guess why not start posting some of my looks,
to inspire people and be inspired as well.
Give it a hype if you liked it or why not a thumbs up on Facebook.

Stay tune for more, I plan to put up one look every wednesday,
support me please. =)
I would cover all my behind the scenes and bloopers in this blog.

What do you think of my smile?
Never really had much confident with it, till a friend told me it was nice.
Here is it, you lucky people get to see it, I don't often smile in pictures though.


Spot the dog? My dogs have not been making the shoot easy.


See my dog jump.


It's annoying.

and ouch, she hurt my waist.

Oh ya, I came across this photo editing website, which edits photo online.
This effect, I just had to post it. Loving it!
Link here.

Told you I will update more on my blog.
Comments appreciated.

we tend to forget happiness that exists.

My semester 3 final studio project finally end.
Believe me this semester was hell,
everything I've been through, learned from.
I could only say it makes me stronger.

A brief look at my project. It's name SVIC.
A visitor interpretive centre in Sekinchan, Malaysia.
Not to bore you guys out, if you guys are interested to know about it,
drop me a comment so I would upload a more detail version into here.




Ignore the watermark.

Basically, this post I would talk something more about my project.
I wanted to talk about struggles and pulling forward.

This semester was hell as I stated earlier, you have no idea. I admit I was slacking so much and I just lose my focus in architecture and in life. The main reason of it was the change in life. I know change is inevitable, but it affected me tremendouslyThe fact that suddenly seeing friends that I used to share everything with move on, the worst part was I was standing there dying inside, it was the worse feeling. I slacked so much this semester and while I was finishing this final board for presentation, I cracked. Preparing architecture boards are not simple even though some people might not know, but I guess, let's just say this is a stressful thing to do. Submission was on Tuesday 6pm and at Tuesday noon, I haven't lay out anything in my board. At that moment, I cracked under pressure. I see no future at all, all I want to do is to just give up my future, because frankly at that time, I thought I fail in this board. You see I promise myself I would ace this board to prove to myself, and them, that I could live better even though I lose some of my best friend, but at that time I couldn't, I really couldn't. I was failing, losing friends and I don't even think I could handle architecture.

I went out driving, calm myself down and think. I'm glad I did that really. At that point, I didn't think my future was something I would look forward to. What if I never find someone would love me? What if I only work at 9-5 daily, without enough money for luxury? What if I wake up one day and think this is not the life I want to live? I bet you guys thought this before right? And so, that drive got me thinking, if I gave up then, I definitely won't have those, but if I fight for it, there will be a chance right? So I promise myself, never go down without a fight! I would reconsider everything in my life that's for sure, but I would not let things bring me down. What doesn't kills you make you stronger right? 

All I'm trying to say is, I know what is like to breakdown and thinking nothing in your future you look forward to. Remember there's always your parents and if that's not enough, there's you. I watched glee and I think this is so true.
"What do you most look forward to in life?" Ask yourself this.
For me, I would say I look forward to see what job I end up doing, who is my significant other and teaching my children this lesson, to never give up on life. Live for yourself, because if you gave up, you only gave up on yourself, nobody would care that much, don't live for someone else. One day you look back, you would remember what YOU have been through and what YOU have accomplished. Please never give up.

Some songs that got me through.

Kelly Clarkson - Stronger

All American Rejects - Move Along

Glee - Fly/I Believe I Can Fly

Glee - Survivor/I Will Survive

After all this, I wanted to do something to help, so
I set up this new blog, an advice blog.
Ask me any question, I may not be any expert,
but we will figure it out okay?
Don't say no one cares, because I do.
http://thinggetsbetter.tumblr.com/
Ask me for advice there and if I didn't reply,
is because I didn't recieved it, I'm still new to this whole tumblr thing.
If not, please drop a comment for advice here or my twitter.
I will try to help, even if its a simple problem.

I believe I can fly.

He sat there looking out to the Golden Gate Bridge. The night was clear, all the stars that lid behind it was extravagant. He always saw the bridge, but today was nothing like it. Today there was someone beside him. He held the person's hand tightly and pull the person closer. He never thought he would ever find someone who made him felt this way and he smiled knowing, he thought wrong.

The post everyone has been long awaiting for.
For you guys who did not know, I went to the states during March for three weeks.
That was my highlight of the first six months in 2012.
Gonna separate the post in 3 parts, because I went to three different places.
By the way, I chose quantity over quality, so prepare for all the photos!
First up, SAN FRANCISCO.
How do I even start to describe San Francisco?
It was amazing! Seriously.
This is a place I would definitely consider to stay in in the future.
The people are nice, weather's great, everything is just perfect.

Got all prepare for the 20 hours flight from Malaysia to Hong Kong and all the way to San Francisco.

Hong Kong airport. The façade of the building is amazing.

Welcome to Hyatt Regency Hotel! I get to stay in a 5 star hotel! =D
Some photos of the hotel.



My view out the hotel.

Basically, I went there with my father but he was on a business trip,
so I spent a week walking all over San Francisco alone,
but it was interesting and I enjoyed it.
Took many scenery shots without me inside, but reassure,
I was at all the place.
Some sceneries of SF.




 Bay bridge.


 Apperantly SF is famous for sea lion, by Pier 39.



Colt Tower.

A view from colt tower. See how organize the city is.

SF famous cable car! It's a must when visiting there.


I was there! =D

Breads in SF is famous, so is CLAM CLOWDER! <3

 Night view.

You know what amaze me?
This bunch of people playing with fire in the night till midnight,
just many of them, maybe 20,
they were all just playing with it and everyone would stop by and have a look,
some would take photographs.
Makes me think that they just did what they like.
Just enjoy life.



Am I missing out a photo? Yes I am!
It won't call a trip to SF without visiting the Golden Gate Bridge.


One day, I would stay there. I promise.

If happy ever after did exist.

stepping away from reality.
Took me quite awhile to really find the motivation for blogging,
but I found it and promise I will update as often as you visit.
I used a whole new layout basically I needed change.
Change has been going through my life and I needed to express it.
Let's talk about that some other time. 

Dinner with the family! =D
No celebration, just a decent dinner with the family.
Verona Trattoria, 8, Jalan 17/54 Section 17, Petaling Jaya.
Included this just in case you guys might be interested in going.

Food was delicious and the service was great too.
I would say a 8/10.
We went there and the owner got us all of his 'special' meals.
Yup, I have no idea what are this dishes call, but have a look.


This may looked like your ordinary pork rice, but I like the sauce.
It's interesting. 

Pork would never go wrong. 

A very unique peperoni pizza taste, can't exactly tell you what taste, but it was delicious. 

 Roasted pork with spaghetti, something so unique.

Did you know wine goes well with pork?
All the expensive wine served there...

The owner was kind enough to offer us whiskey.
This was specially brought in from London.

 This is the most unique desert I have ever tasted.
It's like a ice cream fruit cake, four levels of flavour.
From top to bottom: strawberry, mango, chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

What family dinner without some family photo time?
Just a few to let you forget about the hunger you guys are feeling now.

 My parents. <3

 Sister and me, that eyebrow piercing looked cool!
Oh yeah, I got my eyebrow pierced.

I could still taste the food, it was that delicious.
Wait for my next post you guys, check in soon.
