A lot of people have remarked that 2013 is the fastest and shortest year. Time really does fly. i couldn't agree more. On this last day of 2013 i couldn't help but wonder where have time been and what have i achieved this year. Getting nostalgic and melancholic aren't we? Looking back, there have been many wonderful things/happenings/milestones happened this year and i would say that 2013 has been a great year. 1. We finally got the chance to visit my mum's sisters in the UK. I did not blog about this trip. Maybe one day. We had the amazing opportunity of visiting Cardiff and Bath. Beautiful country and i loveeeeeddd the cold.  Would really love to go back again one day. That's us in Bath. That's my aunt Angela and her husband, uncle Phillips. 2. Professionally, i finally got a research article published in a local journal . it took me 2 years and draft after draft and after draft to write that article.  3. After almost 3 decades of life, i fin...

Shoe-aholics = someone who likes to buy lots of shoes; someone who loves shoes Ngabang = Berjarah ; Bahasa Sarawak term for house visiting during festive seasons. I would consider myself to be a sensible shoe-aholic.  I love shoes.  Sexy stilettos, gorgeous pumps, adorable ballet pumps, dainty strappy sandals, wedges.  Oh talking about wedges, my friend once told her boyfriend she wanted to buy wedges she saw the other day in the mall. Her boyfriend lovingly said "Tomorrow i'll accompany you to KFC k."   Sooo adorable. Wedges in the above conversation refers to this. Not the KFC cheesy wedges but A+ for effort and sweetness Well anyway, no matter how pretty the shoes are, its practicality is my priority. Especially if its for daily wear. something comfortable and easy to slip on and off.  And also because I can't drive wearing heels or wedges or thick sole footwear. Its practicality is the utmost importance during ngabang.  Yo...

Oh you know my fascination with coffee places. i don't know. I just love the  ambiance  and the cosyness of a coffee shop. The low lights, the cosy quiet corners, the soft music and the smell of coffee. So the other day, i drag my cousin along to try this coffee place in Plaza Merdeka. The Boardriders Cafe is amazing! Love this corner This colourful shelf is gorgeous i seem to wear this expression a lot... I love their counter too. Two Americanos and chocolate trio. The girl who loves coffee places Verdict: so so... I love this wall deco too. The only thing i wish is they would have more pastry and cakes choices. Love love love this place.

Is there such a thing? Of course! Chili are plants = plants are healthy food, therefore eating chili is healthy. Nampak tak permainannya disitu?  There are more than 200 varieties of chili around the world, coloured anything from yellow to green to red to black, and varying in heat from mildly warm to mouth-blisteringly hot. The hottest are usually the smallest: habanero orange, African bird's eye and Scotch bonnet. Green chillies are unripe, so usually aren't as hot as red ones. The active ingredient is capsaicin, most of which comes from the seeds and the veins. So if you prefer your chili milder, try a green one and remove the seeds before chopping. So what are the health benefits of eating chili? 1. Rich in vitamin C - Chili contain up to seven times the vitamin C level of an orange! 2. Contains antioxidants - They are also good in other antioxidants like vitamin A, and flavonoids like ß-carotene, α-carotene, lutein, zea-xanthin, and cryptoxanthin. 3. It is...

So pretty. Simple, understated yet so chic. How you style your hair can make or break you. A little change in your hairstyle can change your whole appearance and of course having a good hair day instantly uplifts you. I love this messy bun look. Practical and stylish at the same time.  This hair style looks so chic and elegant on orang putih, models and celebrities. Tapi cuba la saya buat macam ni, saling tak tumpah macam ibu yang tengah berpantang... Flip anak. eh????

picture from Google I was driving and my mum sat beside me in the car. So we were talking and the subject of relationship and marriage came up. Here's what she said "I've never stop any of you befriending anyone. Even if that person is from a different ethnic or religion. You all are adult enough to make your own decision and be responsible for your actions." "Don't rush. There's nothing to rush. Take your time, do some soul-searching. Find yourself first. Do what you wanted to do, go where you want to go. Why do you want to rush? Doesn't matter if you get married at 25 or 45, if it's meant to be, it will happen. Marriage is for a lifetime. If you settled with the wrong person, you'll suffer for a long time."   My mum is so cool. Unlike most mothers who constantly pestered their children to get married when they reached certain age, my mum is more relaxed. I personally think there is more to life than get married, have kids an...

I have always thought men and women can be just friends. Totally platonic. Apparently my male friends did not think so. And few happenings have made me questioned what i thought. In our daily lives, non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible, but common—men and women live, work, and play side-by-side, and generally seem to be able to avoid spontaneously sleeping together or fall in love with each other. However, the possibility remains that this apparently platonic relationship is merely a put-up-show, something to cover up the romantic feelings and sexual attraction bubbling just beneath the surface. People may think they are capable of being “just friends” with members of the opposite sex, but the opportunity (or perceived opportunity) for “romance” is often lurking just around the corner, waiting to pounce at the most inopportune moment. Study conducted on 88 undergrad students found that men were much more attracted to their female frien...
