my first kebaya

semi-regular girls’ night outing took us to subang parade (fyi it was the shopping mall to be before the parking death traps sunway pyramid, one utama, mid valley and pavilion) in search of some xtra-small baju raya. i’ve never owned my own baju anything. a hari raya tradition of mine is to arrive at baby’s [...]

piercings to ink to bleach

just looking at some old photos (yes, i’m stalking myself) while waiting for my blackberry to update. or not. it’s a stubborn motherfucker like its owner.

shaven haven

dawn went for a haircut for the first time in a year (and no, a measly trim does not a haircut make). i was having a bad day and so i begged her to take me along. there was some sort of office bet going on that she wouldn’t dare get a mohawk-type do. HA-HA! [...]

not lomo but rather toy cameras that rock.

so, seeing as how easy it is to lomo-fy photos (tweak R,G & B curves respectively; contrast curves, overlay another solid; add noise) i guess it can’t be the look i’m in love with. so what is it? the spontaneity? the breaking of traditional framing conventions? the indie street cred? or is it a simple [...]

i go pink when you turn out the light

had a major itch to get a trim. yes, i know i said i was growing it. yes, i know i said no more bleach. but really, did anyone (except for za) take me seriously? called peekaboo, hairkunst, and raymond’s but none were good (peekaboo closes at 8pm, hairkunst was packed, raymond’s recommended stylist wasn’t [...]

not cut out for this

was feeling all hot and bothered by phantom hair scratching at my nape and tickling the tips of my ears. so i skipped lunch (anorexic whore) and popped by jantzen salon (thanks to the misleading “20+” signage). got this guy ryan who only muttered a very cringeworthy “i’ll cut it short and make it yeah” [...]

world domination

’tis a bit trite after the previous post, but *shrugs* loved the caption to bits. my friends are as brilliant as my expressions are cacat.

skin deep

as a writer in a creative advertising agency, i’ve learned how audiences have evolved into savvy, choosy, fickle-minded freaks. as a consumer, i’m an advertiser’s dream come true. a couple of weeks or so after reading kimberlycun’s and cynthia’s (like duh, obviously completely totally 100% sponsored) posts about garnier pure, i trot out to buy [...]

al’s day out at bombshell

took al to see ming on saturday. squeezed it in after a much delayed car service which set me back over 200 smackers (ouch). the last haircut of hers i remember was this short do which i liked a lot. there was a csi moment, where she was asked “was it a bob?” we were [...]

<3 velvet ribbon

so i’m an impulsive online shopper. i make snap purchases (which are quite spot-on, ok), but in small quantities. perhaps 1 or 2 a month. i’m wearing february’s purchase now. mmmm. i had the cutest email exchange with velvet ribbon but was sorely disappointed when she told me my moment’s indecision cost me the lovely [...]
