is another resort we stayed in Bali.

#1

Anantara Seminyak is located just right at the Seminyak beach front, it’s such a drastic change from Ubud Hanging Garden. One is a charming hidden gem somewhere in the quiet mountain and this one is right at the end of a upscale buzzing street with happening night life, shopping and eateries.

#2

#3

Just a few meters away from the pool it is the public beach.

#4

Pool connected with the suites.

#5

#6

Yummy welcome drink!

#7

Restaurant by the pool side.

#8

#9

Apparently it’s also a popular honey moon place. Table setting by the beach and heart shape rose petal around the table!!!!!! <3333

#10

The suites.

#11

View from my room wtf!!!!!!

#12

The bed is super duper mega ultra soft ok wanna melt on it T__T

#13

Beautiful interior. I forgot to take pic of the wooden boxes in the room.

One says “Try Me”  and when you open it it’s all sort of snacks. And then there’s “Watch Me” and “Play Me!” Hahaha. got Jenga too!

#14

Looking down from my balcony.

#15

The indoor bath tub.

#16

And an outdoor jacuzziiiiiiiiiii

#17

With Congkak for you to play while soaking in your bubble bath!

#18

From the balcony

#19

One of the things i like most about the resort is its gorrrrgeous rooftop lounge overlooking the Seminyak coastline. Sunset was amazing.

#20

And a huge mirror for you to camwhore with.

#21

If you have been to Ku De Ta, you will definitely like here too.

#22

The next day we woke up for yummy breakfast

#23

And just chill by the pool

#24

That’s it for now!

Anyway if you are still drooling over that bloody iPad and you are broke and no money to buy, this is your chance to get one FOR FREE.

All you need to do is share this with your friend.

Go to vsHub to find out more!!

Ok time to blog about the Bali trip! Went with TK, Ching and Keju.

The first night in Bali we stayed in this villa Julia Roberts was staying in when she was filming her latest movie Eat, Pray, Love (best selling book by Elizabeth Gilbert).

(!!!!!!!)

(Maybe i could still pick up some of the blonde hair she dropped in the villa?!?)

Ubud Hanging Gardens is said to be the best accommodation in Ubud. And having been to bali for 3 times, i don’t doubt that.

I don’t know how to tell you how exciting it was for me. I will just bombard you with 40 gorgeous pictures.

#1

This is where it is located. It is quite impossible to find but once you found it, heaven  just unfold before your eyes.

#2

Flowers at the reception.

#3

#4

Statue in front of each villa.

#5

The resort has 38 luxury private pool villas. Each villa features heated infinity plunge pool (HEATED!!!!!!! I have never been to any heated pool in Tropical countries wtf!).

(Erm we will come to that later.)

#6

#7

Now why is it called the “hanging gardens”?

Take a look at this:

#8

The resort is build almost vertically, and there’s this inclined “railway” thingie, with a lift that brings you to and fro between the reception, your villa and the restaurant/pools.

#9

The lift thingie. It operates non-stop and i can’t imagine working as a lift operator. (Well at least this one has got break-taking views. In Japan, the pretty elevator girls are stuck with sweaty hentai old men FTL.)

#10

Workers fixing or building new villas.

#11

#12

My room (will come to that later too)

Dress from thepoplook.com

#16

Took the lift down to the restaurant for breakfast.

#17

Cute cheese!

#18

And visited the common pool area.

#19

#20

All angmohs sun tanning by the pool.

#21

This is the first infinity pool by the restaurant. Can you imagine swimming here????

I have never been to a pool with this sort of view!!! Totally incredible!

#22

The 2nd layer of the infinity pool. This one if you drop down, confirm bye bye.

#23

(pool overlooking a beautiful temple)

#24

#25

Time to look at my room yes? 😀 😀 😀

#26

View from my room.

With the HEATED POOL overlooking Ubud mountains and rice terrace.

#27

Chill area next to the pool.

#28

Infinity pool wtf!!!

#29

Indoor bathtub

#30

Nvm hor. Got outdoor bathtub too!

#31

#32

#33

I looooove the bed! So romantic!

#34

So awesome i feel like a Bali Princess wtf.

#35

At night we ordered room service, and the villa sent this butler with a hugeee old school  dim sum box thing to our room.

It’s like a magic box wei, he took out plates, cutleries, placemats, napkins… food…

#36

And set up with dinner table by your bedside!!!

#37

We had foie gras & mushroom risotto.

I dunno if it was the ambience. But it was the most. freaking. delicious. risotto. ever.

EVER.

How can i not be surprised! Best Risotto! In Bali! It sounds almost absurd. It’s worth every of the 200,000 rupiah wtf.

#38

Close up pic with flash.

#39

Was lying by the pool side. Feeding myself risotto and going “hmmmmmmmm” “hMmmMMMmmMmm” non stop thinking, this is the freaking life to live.

That’s all about the villa.

Anyway, if you visit Ubud next time, forget about the Bali Guling me (“wtf are you kidding me?” No i am not. It’s overrated.)

#40

Try this instead. Naughty Nuris. I can’t remember where it is. But it’s famous! Just ask around!

#41

Mash

#42

Best. Pork. Ribs. Ever.

F♥ck Tony Roma’s.

Dresses and rattan bags.

Go to Wardrobe nao.

My host parents in Sapporo brought me to the grandparent’s place, and the grandma has this gorrrrrrrgeous kimono. She spent 20 minutes helping me wear it.

My host dad was holding the camera for the entire 20 minutes. This is a 8X fast fwd video of the process.

Really, wearing kimono is an art.

So many fashion shows lately!

Just went to KLCC for So Soft, So Johnson‘s fashion show. I was really impressed with the stage setting and the whole concept, it really feels like you are in a fairy world. Lots and lots of pastel and satin.

To suit the theme perfectly, i used soft focus mode to capture all the photos.

#1

Pretty tutu!

#2

Promoter girls wearing tutus too.

#3

Launch of their new lotion for ladies.

#4

These are the products i got!

I love the pink one the most!! Smells peachy and super super lovely! And also love the texture, almost like soft gel gliding through your skin, not oily at all. Purple one i will apply before i sleep cuz it smells so soothing. And before i go out, i will apply the white one for UV protection. Just perfect!!! <3

The two beautiful twins designers. They designed what they were wearing too so talented. T___T

After looking at those gorgeous dresses, which one did you like the best?

Do you wish that they were yours?

Well that’s entirely possible. Each and every piece, Johnson’s and the designers are giving it out to people who deserve it! Go to www.facebook.com/JBC to find out more! ^^

We had a house party in Mami’s place one day.

She has a dog that looks like a human. His name is Sankyu lolol.

#1

Apparently he is something something mix something then become liddis liao. Ok i am not helping at all am i. -_-

(I said this before, i have a problem.  My ability to form a coherent sentence would be temporary suspended when i’m thinking about something. It may not make any sense, but it’s true. I can’t speak when i’m thinking. I have to speak AFTER i thought.

For example, i would say things like, “hey, do you know the what what is gonna what what what?”

Then my friend would be like, “what?” and you can see a giant -_- in the tone.

“Neh, the what what what lo.”

Serious, i really say that. In real life.)

#2

See what i mean about the weather being siao. One day i had to take off all jackets, then the next day have to wrap myself up like kebab fml.

#3

ZOMG Mushroom slippers!!!!

Or Paddle pop! Whatever!

#4

Cute anot!!!!!!!! 😀

#5

Mami’s house is like an… art gallery.

#10

This boy is omfg cute. How can his cheeks be so red one!!!!!!

#11

WTF i put 10 layers of blusher also kenot liddat WHY ONE!!!!!!!!

#12

I braved myself to eat natto. Apparently, they say for people who don’t eat natto, this concoction is more acceptable apparently:

Natto + raw egg + sour plum, MIXMIXMIXMIXMIX.

What do you think!!!!!!!

#13

We had another mission that day, which was to try out Japanese calligraphy.

#14

This is our teacher. She just wrote “Arashi”.

#15

My turn.

FASTER GUESS WHAT I AM WRITING!!!!! 😀

#16

The first thing Kate wrote was “Japan is cold”. FHL HAHAHHAHAHA.

#17

This is what i drafted 😀

The Capsule thingie is the mascot of Chubu Airport.

#18

Then use the hanko thingie

#19

To make a stamp on the postcard. The end product looks like can sell in art shop ok don’t play play!!!!

#20

See! (Draft is the big one, for you to practice, and the small one is the real postcard. I added sakura tree lol nais anot)

(The sad thing is, i paid 70 yen to post it back to my house in Malaysia on the 9th of April and i have’t received it till today FML. I’m pretty sure Pos Malaysia fucked up again. F all Malaysian’s L.)

#21

Yea, i walked 25 minutes from our house to the post office and another 25 minutes back and all i get is 70 yen less and ABSOBLOODYLUTELY NOTHING. And maybe a lesson to not ever post anything back to Malaysia again.

Oh btw this is not the post office. This is the mochi shop near the post office. Since we have walked 25 minutes, might as well.

#22

Tie our dogs outside the shop.

#23

Then go in and buy ZOMG ICHIGO DAIFUKU.

#24

I love Ichigo Daifuku.

#25

This is Onechan’s. She can has heart shape. <3

#26

This is mine. Apparently i’m a simple minded person.

By the way. I had Ichigo Daifuku on my elbows too.

#27

It happened the day i stupidly climbed up to the stupid pink Fuji mountain and stupidly hurt myself.

#28

Ichigo Daifuku.

Yum.

#1

The past few days before i went to Nagoya castle it was freezing cold. Like, 8C or something. So when i brave myself to wear this out i was actually really, really worried.

#2

But i always have the travel luck. The only day i had to walk 20 mins to the train station and go to Nagoya on my own (and a Malaysian friend Kate). It was BIG SUNNY.

#3

It was so hot i had to take off my jacket. (that’s Kate in the background).

#4

And it was still full bloom.

#14

#16

#17

#19

Then go watch Kendo.

#20

HAHA they all mopping floor like some race so cute

#21

This is Mami, whose husband is a Kendo teacher. And she makes the best pudding in the world FML.

She is helping me look like a samurai/ninja/whatever. What do you call people who does Kendo?

#22

The problem with the costume is, you probably can’t tell that it’s me. And as a fact, the one who looks like samurai/ninja/whatever isn’t me. It is someone else.

You see what i mean?

#23

This is me. But you can’t know for sure. Unless…

#24

Ohai.

#25

lolol all pan cute one all everything all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#26

I attempted to cook Bakuteh.

YOU HEARD THAT??????

I cook! I! Cheesie! COOK.

(FML pork bone in Japan is cheap max. Like 80 yen for one huge bone)

#27

Preparing the ingredients.

#28

It’s hard work ok. You have to… i mean, rip open the A1 plastic bag. Then rip open the enoki mushroom bag… then throw everything into the pot. It was…. hard work.

Not to mention you have to boil it overnight. (When i told Onechan we would have to boil it overnight, she freaked out. She was like, wtf what if it caught fire? Then the whole haos burn down etc etc etc. Apparently in Japan nobody boils things overnight. So we boiled it until we went to sleep, then boil again the next day.)

It’s hard work, see?

#29

So. the next day.

#30

(i dunno how to continue oredi)

#31

Oh. we went to 100yen shop.

#32

And bought the whole shop.

#33

#34

Then drive home

#35

Then played with Kotabo

#36

#46

Evening we took the shiba inus for walks.

#47

#48

Onechan and i left Otosan notes about dinner cuz we were going out.

#49

And this is the best pudding in the world Mami made for us.

If she opens a shop here, confirm the queue is longer than Krispy Kreme.

#50

Breakfast

I actually don’t mind eating bfast like this for the rest of my life. Maybe i should move to Japan.

#51

This is matoryoushika. Or the Russian dolls. Or babushka. Whatever.

#52

Yamachan tebasaki

Japanese needs instructions for everything. Including how to eat a chicken wing.

#59

Nagoyaben.

Ok that’s all bye.

I don’t normally use the word fashionista on anyone, and especially do not label myself as one, simple because it means different things to different people.

For me, it simply means someone who adore fashion, and treats it as part of his/her life.

i do.

I think i have been blogging a lot more on fashion recently than i have ever been, because it has become one of the greatest enjoyments in life for me. I know that some people, especially men who are reading this (if they even bother to) can’t comprehend why that certain pair of shoes is so so so important for me, or why i have to pay extra shipping just to buy that head piece all the way from another country, or my obsessions with mitchy-matchy outfits, etc.

I recently had a chat with a new boutique owner and she told me how disappointed she is with Malaysian people’s attitude towards fashion. If i tell you, Oh that’s so New York fashion, or so London fashion, or Wow that’s so Harajuku! —-You could imagine how that’s like.

But if i tell you, “uh that’s so Malaysian fashion?”

You get what i mean?

I have mentioned this before, but i will say it again. Visiting Japan has change my life completely. (i mean fashion sense, but fashion is part of my life, so.) I don’t deny that sometimes i follow the trends a little too closely that it has even becomes a little too pressuring. If i buy that piece of dress, i would have to wear it within that two months because it is so in fashion that it comes with a shelf-life. After two months, it is out.

Most people probably don’t notice (or even care), but i do it for myself and i feel good about it.

I don’t mind people buying the same items that i have, or even dress exactly like me. It is like music. You can’t say, i like Justin Bieber first, you can’t like him. (Just an example, no i don’t like Justin Bieber.) When i was in Japan, most of the girls dress up in the latest pieces, go shopping and have fun together. So even though everyone will end up looking like they come out from the same magazine, it was such a fun sight. It was sharing, it was joy.

(Floral skirt, light denim jacket, kago bag and can-can hat—they are 4 different people wearing almost the exact same style.)

I don’t think fashion can ever be wrong, even though, i must admit, i occasionally (ok, quite often) humiliate certain faux pas that doesn’t agree with my eyes. And on second thought i do say “Omg that dress looks sooo wrong” all the time. Then again, as long as you are happy doing it and do not care what people think about you, go ahead! Dress up in the craziest outfit or the most yesterday outfit, it still isn’t wrong. i would think, hey, at least he/she tried! Wrong is when you don’t even bother to make an effort.

.

.

After typing so much, what is your thought on fashion?

And if fashion is your thing, you always wanted to dress up but none of your friend would do it together with you, or if you always wanted to attend a swanky fashion party but never got the invite…here’s your chance to experience it yourself. If there ever was a place to be on a Friday night… THIS. IS. IT.

Date: Friday / 28th May 2010

Venue: Maison

Time: 8 pm onwards till 2am

Featuring fashion shows, International Mixologist (up close & personal with Mixologist – making your own cocktail experience) with in-house DJ playing House/Trance.

Go to www.facebook.com/EncoreHSE to find out more!

Also, better news is, i will be giving out 15 pax drinks vouchers for the first 15 people who wants it.

Just drop a comment and tell me what you think about fashion, or fashion means to you (anything! Just to make sure you are not someone who cares more about alcohol than fashion!), and end it with “GIMME THE VOUCHER!”

See you there in your dressiest outfit. 🙂

Was obsessed with Deka Ribbon (Big Bow)hair piece for the longest time but couldn’t find much in Japan, let alone KL.

But recently i found out that you can actually DIY your own Deka Ribbon wtf!!!!!!!! Why didn’t i know earlier!!!!!!!!!

#1

Anyway here’s a little tutorial on How to make a bandana ribbon. There are two ways.

Bandana is really the summer look this year. And the best thing? You can get one at Daiso for RM5 wtf.

Here’s how to do a normal bandana ribbon:

#2

I hope you understand la it’s really simple! The hard part is how to pull and puff it up nicely in the end.

And if you like an even bigger ribbon, you can do this:

#3

(It’s a doggy motif one. Kawaii!)

#4

Note the size difference!

#5

#6

#7

Ringo Romper from thepoplook.com. I’m serious. That’s the name of the romper.

#8

This pic somehow reminds me of Wakatsuki Chinatsu!

#9

#10

#11

I know a lot of magazines did feature how to make the bandana ribbon but none of them show you how to wear it on your head wtf.

Hence, a video tutorial (wasn’t very well angled 🙁 ) of how the process and there’s a short feature of Baby K in the end. 😛

Have fun!

Okay maybe this is a bit late but, check out Project Alpha presented by Adidas Action 3!

If you have watched last season, you would have known what it is like. In season two, not only Cheesie will be in it,

but Baby K too!

She looks so small in this picture! Actually it was real hard to get her to pose for the profile pictures, because she acted really strange that day.

Turned out, that day was the day i found out that she was sick. She had diarrhea and vomitted after she got home. And then she was diagnose with Parvo. When she was hospitalized, i kept having this fear that what if…

What if she couldn’t make it, the video i took with her in the studio for Project Alpha that day will be the last video i will ever see of her.

And the thought of it terrified me. How am i able to watch my own Project Alpha episodes?

But, i am glad everything turned out well. 🙂

All in all, i had so much fun while shooting for Project Alpha! It helps that most of the feature bloggers are my real life friends too.

Here is some behind the scene/sneak preview of my outing to Tambun with Jojo, Shaolin Tiger, KY and Kimberlycun. We drove all the way to ipoh to have our dimsum breakfast.

#1

That is my BB Curve before bitten by monkey wtf.

#2

The restaurant was so full we had to dap toi!

And the family on the table was like O.o when everyone started taking out their big camera and snapping pictures non stop.

#3

I realized that the dimsum in Ipoh is very tiny! But that’s good cuz that means i can have more variety! KL dimsum should do the same!!!!!
