Knockoff

Every girls have their dream bags. The bag that you keep thinking about, the bag that you have been saving every penny for. Some spent huge amount of times stalking and scrolling through social media to admire their dream bags. Some went on advance research mode and started bookmarking forum and websites regarding their dream bags. Don't tell me I am the only one doing this.

Now that I'm earning my own moolah, the road to own my dream bags (yes, it's bagsss) should be nearer each day. Sadly for me, the road only getting nearer by an inch, can't blame myself. Putting down my hard earned money on a designer bag is still not really high on my priority. My dad will be really proud of me if he read that last sentence. I'm not in a rush and still saving for it.

I refuse to go down the path of knockoff. Or the fancy word inspired. 

I have a Mango bag which is inspired from Givenchy Antigona. When I first bought it, I have no idea it was an inspired piece until I saw a video in Youtube featuring Givenchy Antigona. By then it was too late,I already bought the bag. So I inspected it further and realized it is really just an inspired piece, not one-to-one copied from the Antigona. Phewww...

But it is a different story for this bag

Totally knockoff for RM509.90 with the exact brand name sold at my local department store. I pity Michael Kors or his designer.


So, what's your stand on this? Share with me if you don't mind.

Charcoal Bun @ Jack Pork


I'm quite happy that lots and lots of new cafes popping out in Sibu now. At least I will have more options now since I'm eating out quite a lot. Mostly for lunch and dinner I eat outside because it is convenient and sometimes I even had my breakfast outside too. Seriously, I couldn't remember the last time I cooked a proper meals, must have been months ago.

Few weeks ago, the bf and I decided to Jack Pork which famous for its burger. I'm not a huge fan of burger (it's pasta all the way for me) but I was still keen on trying it anyway.

The menu

They have everything from burger to pasta and Asian noodles and rice selection too. So if you're not keen on burger, you can try others too. Don't worry, there's always something for everyone.

This picture looks so weird as if the bf has super long hands lololol



The bf opted for stewed pork rice because he's truly definition of Asian. Kidding alright, he just loves his rice. His stewed pork rice taste quite good and his complain was the portion is too small. 

I settled for Jack Pork Classic Burger with the charcoal bun


The portion was huge and the food was good especially the bun. This set costs around RM13.80 which has ice lemon tea included. So, quite affordable la. Maybe next time I'll come back for their pasta after I lost some weight. I'm aiming for 42kg now. hehehe If you know my height, this is my kinda ideal weight. So, don't tell me I'm too thin because I'm definitely not.

What's on your mind?

At the beginning of the year, I've made a list of resolutions which included to write more in my blog. I know I I've failed this one without checking my archive. No time to write, nothing to write, not inspired to write. I guess all those are excuses.

The real reason for lack of updates is probably that more people that I know read my blog, I feel restricted to express myself because I'm scared of being judge.

Why she only post pictures of herself?

Again, another lovey dovey post of her and her bf?

Another seeker! Getting all emo also need to tell the whole world.

Those are just in my head of course, I have no idea what's going through their mind when they read my blog. Last few years I wrote freely because nobody know the existence of this space. I'm not saying that I don't like people read what I've wrote because the purpose of the blog is to share. It's just that feel different when people that I know read what I wrote here.

All the jumble thoughts in my head, they know. It becomes scary because I don't want them to know everything but at the same time, I need to express myself somewhere. A physical journey won't do it for me because I ehem need spelling check to spell some words. Yup, the convenience of spelling check here has finally takes its toll on my grammar sadly.

But after some thought, I've decided to be just myself, to write whatever I want, to rant, to whine, to be emo etc because after all, I'm only human that experience the up and low of life.

And this is the space where I want to document my life.

So, cheers to a new start (?) where I'll be writing more here.

Girly dates



13 years of friendship and we still going strong, that's me and my childhood friend, Xiao S. We've known each other since we were 12 years old over a game of netball. We're from different school and only keep in touch once in a while, usually during sports day or netball competition because we both are competitive like that lol. Truth is, our friendship blossom from enemy on the track/court to best friend outside of sports. 

Fate have it and years later we became roommate at college, or I shamelessly moved into her dorm because I like her room hahhaha Fast forward to few years later, I'm done with formal education whereas this ambitious girl doing her Master. She's the kind of friend that I only see once a year but still click instantly like we've never parted before.

She's even my cupid whom introduce me to the bf. This girl came back last month for a short break and we tried to spend more quality time together catching up on our life stories. There's something more satisfying about meeting up and talking face to face than typing messages on our phones. Plus, we get to dress up too.

Do you know that we always ask each other what are we wearing prior meeting up? hehehe  that's the fun part having girl friend that loves dressing up.


The customary mirror shot before going up

We tried out the new cafe called Grilled

The atmosphere and ambiance at Grilled is good and service is good too. But the food is mediocre. In fact I have tasted the worst fish and chip ever there. So I suggest go for the steak instead. It was good.

Because we're vain hahaha

Another girly date at Baba & Siam Cafe with Angie whom I also known through netball.


My hair looks so short here. I miss my long hair so much and now I wanted to grow my hair. But when I see short hair girl, I'm tempted to cut my hair again -_____-


Another shot of us bff

We took so many photos the whole week and I feel like I finally been able to properly utilize my camera. I even shot some videos *shy* But I haven't edit it yet and I'm not sure whether I'm going to put it up for public or not. On the brighter note, I've finally found my memory card. Weeehehhhe

April + May Snippets

I was clearing some photos from my phones and camera and thought share some of it here. Everything was taken end of April till recently. I feel really upset with myself because I umm misplaced my brand new memory card. This is the second time that this happened *facepalm* I lost it once before but found it. Then I seriously have no memory of where I placed it afterward.  

I looked everywhere for over a month but found nothing. :(


            
Danish turned two last month

I kinda sad that he's growing up too fast. I want him to stay cute like this forever #obsesswithtoddler He can say quite a few words lately and my favorite line are I lap you and Guuud night.


This beautiful sunset was taken at Mukah last month as well.

I went there for duty on weekend. It was my first time going to Mukah town and I totally underestimate it. I've heard stories from people about how boring the town is and it is just a small town. To my surprise, it was quite okay, I've been to smaller town and Mukah is doing well and fully equipped with the necessary facilities.

But the beach is really dirty.

Sipping on milk tea while watching the sunset

We tried Back to School Cafe few weeks ago and it was really disappointing, Half of the food on the menu was sold out because they didn't stock it. The bf's sweet and sour fish fillet rice tasted more like sweet and super salty fish fillet rice. My chicken chop was not bad but the mushroom soup was obviously from Campbell packet and too watery.

Definitely not coming back there anymore.


Just one of those good selfie shot out of 9874635 shots

Too lazy to edit the lighting in Pino photo

Two weeks ago, he injured his back leg while running. I think he torn a muscle or something and had been limping for quite some time. We got him checked and the vet said it will recover soon. Thank God Pino is recovering well now. From not being able to climb the stairs, now he race upstairs. But he's still limping a little bit. 

Danish caught in the act of playing with my phone.

That's all for now. Gotta get ready to go out now.
Oh yeah, I'm back to being blonde now. Not too blonde tho.

Sereni & Shentel

I bet this name is familiar to all of you, especially Gossip Girls fans. I have heard about this brand few years back when it started to blooming. Back then, I can only admire it through the screen of my laptop because well, I was just fresh out of university with only meagre earnings. I really couldn't justify the purchase to myself.

Few years after, I thought I'm over it. But man, how wrong was I! I don't know how I ended up on their site today, http://sereniandshentel.com/ . I swear my mouse clicked on it itself. I was just browsing through and read on how they started it. These women are really superwomen, they have their full time job, families and still can make time for their business.

I'm not exactly an accessories kind of girl. I barely put on any accessories on daily basis and realized how boring I am. I decided to stop that, I don't want to be boring. So now I put in some efforts in my accessories department, adding some earrings to pair with my outfit. Baby steps you know.

When I saw these gorgeous headband today, I knew I need to have it. Poppies in Sibu stock their headband and I'm itching to get my hands on these babies but it is raining outside. So I just let the mouse did its job, clicking here and there and soon the babies will be in my hands. Can 't wait!





See, even Blair Waldorf and her muses are donning it.

A weekend away

Accidentally locked my phone because I forgot my own passcode that I've just changed a minute ago. Seriously wtf! I feel like my finger and my brain are not connected at all because I have no idea what number I just keyed in a minute ago. Haih, serves me right for wanting to change my passcode. Now have to restore everything from Itunes and it states there I have 57 minutes remaining. Might as well update my dead blog.

So last 2 weekends ago, I went on trip with my family to Kuching. It was mainly for shopping because we all needed the retail therapy. Turned out I didn't even shopped much. 


Unrelated selfie that taken weeks ago

I don't know what gotten to us but when we're there, we mostly eat at chain restaurants that obviously available in Sibu. *facepalm* For lunch we stopped by Singapore Chicken Rice because it was fast and convenient. And dinner every night was at Topspot because my dad needed his seafood fix badly.

Then we had our tea break at Sushi King *facepalm again* Both me and my sis love the egg mayo sushi which is the cheapest one. RM2 only and we had about 9 plates together.

My half cup chawanmushi ='= Don't know why the quality keep dropping.

My sis curry which just mediocre 

A blurred photo of me 

I don't know why I only have the urge to take photo when I wore something plain. Other days when I was in my skirts and dress, I totally don't feel the need to snap any photos. 



Trying out the green tea frappuccino in Starbucks. Tasted good but left me feeling nauseous afterward or it was because I had empty stomach that time. 



Dim sum for breakfast the next day but sadly we couldn't finish it all.

Bright lips selfie

By the way, I managed to try pure yoga two weeks ago. And man, I was struggling hard to find balance and stay relaxed, exhale, inhale the whole time. I was probable the youngest in the class whereas the rest were middle aged. Watching them doing headstand was amazing. I'm not too sure if yoga is the thing for me but I would love to practice it once in a while. 



Who know, maybe someday I'll be able to do headstand too.
