Of cakes and sweet things

Bits and pieces of photos here and there. My good old Canon camera is now dead :( So i'm relying heavily on my handphone which is pretty shit coz I'm so used to high quality pics!

A boutique in Bangsar that Selina brought me to. Its soo cute!

Front entrance is basically a chalk board prettily decorated.

I do hope I can own my own cafe one day to look like this!!
The owner is so artistic!

Clothes in there are really nice to, mostly japanese/korean inspired pieces that I don't really see anywhere else (i.e hardly any of those mass produced pre-order blogshops clothes =___= )

Frothy Cappuccino with heart

The vibrant red colour made us feel the cake looked kinda dodgy, but after a few bites, Mel & I were sold!! Now I love it to bits!!

If anyone has any tips on how to make pictures look like ''lomo'' or more artsy, do share them with me!! I'm always looking for more creative ways to decorate my photos and make them look better

Dear Blog

Sorry I've been ignoring you. A lot of unhappy things have been happening to me of late. I'm still very much jobless after applying for 2 months plus, my relationship hasn't been peachy at all because of all the stress involved, and I'm pretty much counting my last pennies in my already torn-up wallet.

Not to mentioned I failed a stupid license exam that I have been studying for a year, further adding to my parents pressure for a job and I'm constantly reminded of their disappointment in me.

------I must remind myself to steal Lillian Too's water fountain and Jade collection-----------

I must say starting Monday this week though, things have been looking up for me. I got myself a part-time job in the meantime to earn some side income, I've gotten two interviews lined up for next week, and I'm glad my parents were still kind enough to sponsor me a car which is arriving soon.

Fingers crossed I do hope I find a new path in life!

CatShitOne: Rabbits in military suits?

Do you find rabbits cute?

Next question, do you like seeing rabbits holding guns and wearing military uniform whilst hopping around?

Even if your answer is no, I still insist that you should watch CatShitOne.

This is a film & comic created by Motofumi Kobayashi on a setting based on the war in the Middle East.

As you've probably already guessed, this is not your typical bunny movie. The story starts out with prisoners brought to a military camp set out in the dessert of the middle-eastern territory, where Sergeant Packy and Botasky are heading the search & rescue team.

Botasky

Sergeant Packy

The enemy are camels

Cast aside your skepticism to watch this, because CatShitOne is surprisingly good and this statement is coming from a GIRL. So far, CatShitOne has only released one 20minute episode online but there has been no news reports of when the other episodes will come out or how long it would be.

The graphics are refreshing , beautiful and well-done. Usually animal animations are done pretty badly because character movement looks unreal but this obviously has not been a problem for Motofumi and his team. Everything was done with almost a hundred percent pure realism, and the length (20mins) made the whole show a truly enjoyable watch without even being a touch draggy.

Do give this short film a watch, though be-warned you may have an uncontrollable urge to suddenly keep a pet bunny and dress them up in military uniform.

It is only available to watch, here. (their official youtube channel is only for Japan)

Etsy

I love all quintessential , pretty, and delicate things.

So when I stumbled upon this site called Etsy.com, I was pretty much thrilled to see such a huge array of creative goodies from people all over the world!

Etsy basically means handmade stuff (though it can encompass quirky stock items, photography, and all sorts of other vintage hand-me-downs).

First off, I want to say that I DO NOT CLAIM any copyright over any of the items/photos below. I have just uploaded them here on my website because I feel they are beautiful pieces of art that I would like to show to others who stumble upon my blog. I have left their sites under the images so do head on over and check them out.

And this girl creates mad beautiful pin-wheels.

How about re-using old vintage stuff for other purposes?

Would you believe these were old bread trays?

And that old books make awesome decor?

This girl is amazing, I pretty much feel like purchasing everything on her site. She's soooo creative!! Visit SGArtandFashion



Why not turn your acorns blue?




Just like what FairyFolk did.






I lost the link for this beautiful picture because my computer crashed on me while I was researching it :( Sadness. But I remembered her gallery had piles & piles of beautiful stuff everywhere.

Even just looking at these pictures made my day. Hope they made yours too ;)

Nang!

I've changed myself!!

Before this, I've been trying to keep long hair for the past one year. I wanted hair so long it could reach up till my bloody ass.

But, as time would have it, I grew impatient and fed up with waiting for my long hair. No matter how much I cut off the ends every few months, the damn thing never grew that much longer. It takes me a span of 5 months just to grow a wee 5cm of hair. By then, my hair deteriorated to a terrible condition - I had constant frizzy, tangled hair and very very bad split ends. Its not to say I never used hair conditioner or proper shampoo. I did, its just that long hair is very much harder to manage.

My recent trip to Phuket with TTM, Ms.Ave T, Debbeh + Jon totally DID NOT make things any better for my already dying hair ends.

The extend of my dry hair can be seen most in this recent picture *shudders*

And yes I know this whole post is gonna start sounding like a shampoo advert asking you to invest in This&That Shampoo that will revitalized your hair with the much needed essential minerals.



But you see, I've given up.


So I chopped everything off right before the Nuffnang Vaseline Event.

I just can't express how happy I am with my new hair!! It looks so cute and japanese! Some people have been asking me whether its a wig and I assure you, its NOT :) . I just happen to have found a great stylist thanks to Miss Ave T, **big wet kiss on da cheek**

It has really been many many years since I've had hair this short. I've always assumed that I will ONLY look good with long hair. I'm glad I've been proven wrong this time!!!!! I feel I look so much more refreshed and less tired! xxx

On a side note, I tried bottom false lashes for the first time. And yes, I know it looks mightily weird but it looks totally chio from far away (just stay 30cm away from my face thankyouverymuch). I still have much to learn about the ways of the jedi putting undereye falsies.

Shit I always look so unnaturally fair in photos. I really am rather tanned in real life!

For those of you who have been having the same hairstyle for the past one year, go make a change today! Who knows it could actually be the best decision you've made for yourself all year!

Nang here :)

Purikura!!

♥ Purikura ♥

For those of you who are japanese-noobs, ''Purikura" are those cutesy japanese photo-stickers that you take in photo booths.

You know what, enough explaining, once you see my photos you'll get what I mean :)

(ps: it may take some time for the purikura to load depending on your internet speed. If you're singaporean it should load pretty fast. If you're malaysian ''sila tunggu sepuluh minit. confirm keluar" )

You can make all your photos purikura style here!

PURICUTE.COM

Some slight tips for you guys:

♥ resize photos preferably to 400-500 in width
♥ Ensure that you have FlashPlayer Ver.8

There's another site that's doesn't not have as many functions and is admittedly less attractive, but it definitely loads much faster and the pictures here are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger

Do me a favour, and NANG HERE
