One of those rare rare days that I'll wear a shirt.

That aside, nope. Dont like shirts much.

I reckon that there would be more narcissistic pictures to stay, since I'm intent on using my Camera to its maximum.

Keeping this picture here, incase I'll ever need a resume-ish looking picture.. might come in handy!

I secretly think that the red lipstick makes the picture a little more magical.

You think?

My muse

Just finished catching up with work from both ends.

It's amazing how I survive burning both ends of the candle sometimes.

Missed my magical sleeping hour and decided to scroll through my picture albums to calm my mind and turn off from work. 

Found some expressions from the little zoo that amused me much.

Here we have blackie *rolling his eyes away* giving me that "omg! Help me " gaze

And Trixie is usually the biggest photography victim!

*Maybe if I stare at my paw enough, the human will get the message...*

*looks up* 

Nope! 

*continues to stare at paws*

Whut is that scary creature that I see in the mirror?! 

Bambi: i hate Chu *death stares* 

The classic! 

Trixie: dear god, I asked for a normal human...and you gave me one who's lost her marbles...now I want a refund please.

The thing is, I can control my own expression, but the furry ones? Priceless!

Glorious Saturday..

Saturday..

It's been a long time since I last clocked minimally 12 hours of sleep...

I must say that it feels good to just sleep.

and sleep 

and sleep!

Waking up at 6 in the evening feeling really contented, and a little guilty for wasting my saturday away; I decided on a short swim before dinner, because I was feeling pudgey from my melaka trip, and also the foot reflexology uncle said I needed to exercise a little more for the sake of my liver. 

Ok here we go.. Pudgey selfie before swim.

---

Kinda happy to have completed summer collection's photoshoot for iisa in just one night.

I pushed myself really hard to finish it all, and despite feeling faint after the shoot, and feeling crappily tired the next day..

it's all worth it knowing that i've cleared something major off my to-do list! 

Not forgetting the handful of hairstyles that I did up in just a night. This is just one of the crazier ones that I like!

Looking at this, I missed working on Bowtique, but since iisa is a waaaaaay bigger project that Bowtique, I really can't complain.

Ok done airing hairstyle, need to carry on photoshopping the outfits and send them out asap.

xoxo!

post edit:
Sometimes I wonder why I have to itchy backside and show my mom what makes me happy, only for her to tear apart my happiness in 2 seconds flat.

She kept nitpicking on the cropped top that I've chosen to pair up for the chiffon cover and cotton skirt.
Kept explaining to her that i'm not selling the top, and she kept insisting that the Chinese wont buy the cropped top. *Roar***

We fought over the cropped top designs that I had last year when Daddy invited her to join us at the Shenzhen Fair. Just because she heard some auntie at the fair mutter that cropped tops are too revealing and she told me that I have to design stuff that the people there will wear, and not just what I think is ok.

Seriously. I'm in the fashion industry.
A world where Models strut clothes naked without undergarment. Reveal cleavage, nipples and legs without batting an eyelid.
Here I am hearing my mom lecturing me about cropped tops.
She used to wear them. I wear them. My sister wears them, people run around in freaking sports bra.
*rolls eyes*

i'm Not working in a nun factory.
If I style my coordinates like what normal people would wear daily, then I'm not quite sure why magazines and fashion stylist would go over the top with their exotic works and portfolios, when it could just look like a John Little catalog at the end of the day.
Just because the auntie with a huge belly wouldn't wear it, does not mean that the entire world wouldn't.

I really really hate how the smallest comment given by an insignificant fly, would shake and move her world, and therefore she thinks her daughter commits a heinous crime because of what she hears.
Perhaps its from my mom that I learnt to shut out what the world thinks about me.

I'm almost certain that woman didnt give birth to me whenever we broach up subjects relating to how I'll like to live my life or my visions.
#confirm fight or cry.
Just because something looks frivolous, does not mean that effort and hard work wasn't invested in it.
In reality, it does take skill to look frivoulous okay.
:(


For example, I actually took 34687294- shots each outfit..
only to shortlist and create this.

In that case, I guess i'm my daddy's daughter then.
*but to be fair, even if she doesn't agree with me and how I envision my life path to be, she still lets me go through whatever I want, and puts me through design school and all despite hoping that I'll choose something more useful academically.
That's what love is all about. I'll try to like what you like, even if I don't necessarily agree with it.

post holiday woes

The travel bug just hit me... having just returned back from Melaka not too long ago... I'm still bummed out about being stuck with my back-to-reality day life. 

Looking through old pictures sure helps a little! 

And I found old pictures of japan!

How can such a pretty place exist? 

The picture above, was a paranoma picture taken when I was in the Fuji mountain vicinity. 

Gorgeous isn't it?

The second one would be of Tokyo while I was having lunch. some bridge thingie I think?

#ThingsIDigUpWhenClearingThePhone

I'll post up the pictures of Malacca soon, once I get over the post holiday woes.

I think sleeping alot would help. :D

the meows..

Clearing space in the iphone, and I realized that I've never uploaded this video of the boys taken last year during one of my trips to China.

China felt a little more like home, when I started staying at Daddy's place, instead of the hotel.
Home to me, is where there is animals to look forward to, to have pets greeting me when I step through the doors.
It's always been this way since I was young. :)

I hate how I sound, when I talk to animals.
Urgh...so please forgive my my icky voice in the video..




Exotic Shorthair are known for their very endearing characteristics. They love the company of human beings, and love love super love their owners to the max.
In the video, they respond to "Lai" (come here) because they're technically living in China, and dad talks to them in Chinese.
That aside, the only cat I did not call out to in the video, was Toots (she's chilling out by herself in background when I called out to Hachi..), and she hates to squeeze in with the boys (because Ben and Sam always bully her)... so we'll just let her be.

Oh! and Standing up to get a petting advantage is Sam's specialty. ;D
Exotic Shorthair cats have this crusty eye problem, and daddy's usually too lazy to clean up their eyes to make them look handsome. So we'll usually just live with crusty eyed cats mostly, a little dirt won't kill.

I miss the cats, and am looking forward to spending time with the Cats soon.
The only sad thing about this coming trip, is that I wont get to see my precious babykins (who are all sold away to their new homes), and the only updates I get is through the petshop lady who still get updates of them periodically from their respective owners.

Oh well, at least they're all living good lives. It's all that matters, despite my heartbreak.

Sleepless

Grandad gave us a hospital scare on Sunday morning, and I woke up real early to be at the hospital. 

Good news is that he's fine and is staying over for observation, and I went back home to catch up on my disrupted sleep. 

Turns out that I slept way too much in the day. and now I'm sleepless in the night. 

What do you do when you can't fall asleep? 

I.... would take selfies with a bummed face, when I'm bored.

Oh, and This is life without make up.

Feeling a little naked, I added filter to feel marginally better. 

Without filter, my eyes are lost in the land of dark eye rings. 

I've this theory where our eye ring is about the same size as our eyes when opened. 

Somewhat like the sun in water reflection. 

And as we age... 

It starts looking like this... 

Eye ring and eye bags double or triple the size of our original eyes. 

Blah. 

Why do human need to age? 

And also

Why can't girls magically look gorgeous without make up?

The return of the bimbo grumbles.

Haha.
