A Waste of Trees.
Monday, November 29, 2010
flat across this new found sheet of mentality.
Then there are the days where I feel pliable,
flat, as the paper crunched between your fingers.
I'm fine, of course, as there is no other option.
And I tell myself 100 times a day, I'm so fine.
But sometimes when I'm finally alone after days of being fine
I find myself scattered, like cofetti, all over the floor.
The new crumples I carry will outlive yours,
literally. As how the dog-eared pages I left
may dictate in direct proportion the amount of which.
Till then, I lie under this Dictionary of simplicity. I'll be flat again.
But be it dog-eared, bookmarked or ripped right off the page,
Sweetheart, we are such a waste of trees.

Nights Out@Time Out KL Food Awards 2010.
Thursday, November 25, 2010
Whenever someone tells me, 'But there's nothing to do in KL!' I lean over and tell them they just don't know where to go ;) Eventhough I write fashion articles, I myself do not buy any magazines. But I pick up a copy of Time Out KL every month at the grocers religiously!


A pic of the few non restauranteurs at the event held at Solaris Dutamas :)
WHAT SHE WORE :)
Chocolate tube dress- 'So Haute' near Giza.
Comfy red rubber heels from Brazillian brand Melissa, Singapore.


Legal Eagle Chrystal and I taking a quickie in between awards,
Oh, did I mention Gentleman Jack was the event whiskey sponsor? :)
Guess it is to soften the blow to the restauranteurs who didn't win ;p There were so many great nominees and some of the winners just barely won.

Flicker.
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Everyone knows where they stand, even food on a plate.
Guess I'm used to being pushed around on the platter of priorities where I'm never first bite.
But hey, kiddo, dream big right?
Waiting for the someday you become important enough is what people do I suppose.
But being important enough to someone to not have to wait is what I'll do instead.
The beauty of youth is I have time to burn
and I'm feeling flicker happy.

Nights Out @ Leng Yein's Big Day/Do!
Monday, November 22, 2010

So, from Al Halabi, Nat, Mel and I trotted over to Marriotts Grand Ballroom where Leng Yein's reception was already underway!

Their wedding photo's were true to Leng Yein's diva doll model standards ;)

Mad photo-op at the reception but we finally got to get hold of the bride..
For those of u who aren't one of the 61,387 (real figure) on her FB Fan Page, u won't know that the Dino is a big part of their love story together and they take it Everywhere!

A girls shot for the many many camera's!

With Baby Dino in toll, of course.
His suit was designed by Leng Yein and tailor made. Like seriously ;P

She designed most of her dresses too.
And off she ran so us girls had to keep ourselves occupied and headed into the ballroom.



Uhuh. The couple had a Avatar/Narnia-ish 'Tree of Life' specially imported in/constructed to fulfil their dream theme.
20 feet tall, 40 feet wide, 4000 strands of fibre optics....

Table hunting was easy...just had to find the one with all the leggy girls :)

Yes, we were nicknamed the Vanity Table ;)

All of us agreed that the table gift chocolates were really good!
But then again, maybe I was hungry.
But it wasn't long before the couple took their first walk in.

They both looked so uniquely them, dressed up for their dream day.
"Me and my husband, we're very happy together. And marrying someone we wanted is like asking ourselves to actually believe in fairy tale come true. Both of us, never really believe in fairy tale. We fell, we came up again, and in the middle of the broken road we're walking towards, we found each other." - Leng Yein
Way happy for you babe!
After the second walk in the groom gives a really sweet speech about her changing his life with her love..
Pic from the wedding OP

Oh and did i mention the ambience of the room constantly changed coz the couples 'Tree of Life' kept changing colors?

Leng Yein! Mel, Nat and I are mad at you!
HOW TO TOP YOUR WEDDING?

No 'yam seng' though. Lucky and sober hubby u have :P
And to top the night off was their uber romantic video they had done.

Anyhow, I cannot edit/post anymore pics! Took me 2 weeks to finish this coz my internet was down :(
So go LIKE her Fanpage here and check out her video and wedding pics!
335 comments so far :)

I'd wish you best luck with your happily ever after but i know you don't need it.
"Chains do not hold two hearts together. It is threads... Hundreds of tiny little threads that sew two hearts together through the years... Day by day ... Hour by hour... " Leng Yein.
So a toast to Leng Yein and Thomas and their extraordinary love for one another! :)

Nat and John's first time and they likeee my fav post-Starhill place.

We got a potta peppermint tea..

and had a puff or two while listening to some authentically turkish wailing.
Not bad :)
Jessy the most fashionable straight friend I have joined us for a bit.
He's my shisha P.I.C!
Guess who shows up?


What She Wore 8: Pumped Up Page Boy.
Page boy shorts - Topshop.
I know i should have gotten the grey plaid pair but couldn't get over the fact i already own one. But I'm a US4 now and all my US6 clothes don't fit as well anymore.
*meditates* Its a happy problem..a Happy problem.. :(
Falls palatte is generally similar each year so play around with texture/sheen!


Tis the season to slip into all your pumps with socks!
I've seen a couple girls totally carry it off in cocktail dresses at night events so don't be shy!
Anyone who says KL isn't a fashion hub isn't hanging around the right crowds ;)
Happy Friday Pillowtalkers!
Will be hosting the Falken roadshow in 1Utama all weekend and clothes are sponsored by 'So Haute' and the style is self-explanatory.
Keep updated for that ;)
