LIFE

What's in your mind when you read the title? What do you think about your life right now? Are you satisfied with the life you live, or are you disappointed and keep complaining about it?

Today, I'm not gonna make a post about fashion and things like that. This is a totally different one, so if you think this post isn't suitable for you, then you may leave :) but if you want to continue reaing it, then you're very welcome.

These past few days, I've found a lot of things on twitter that 'awaken' me. In this life, we always look up. Look up to our idols, look up to people who are 'more' than us. Well, its not a bad thing. In fact, its good for you so you can set a 'goal' like "if she can do it, then so can I".But often, people see it this way "its so nice to be like her, her life is so perfect, not like mine". Okay,up to this point, do you see the difference? If you are the 1st person then congrats to you! :) but if you are the 2nd one, I think you may need to read this post until the end.

By keep looking up, we may get tired. Because we will find that our lives are nothing compared to those we look up to. But, 1 thing I want you to know. If those idols of yours are questioned, they may answer that they are not happy with their lives! Want a proof? There are millionaires out there commited suicide. If they were happy, why did they commit suicide?

Enough with the 'look up' thingy. Now, try to 'look down'. Don't you realize that there are thousands people (or more) out there are begging to live the life you live now? If you can read this post, it means you have a gadget and internet. and I wanna say that you are LUCKY! Yes, you are lucky! Why? Because there are millions people out there don't have the internet connection and technology or whatsoever to access this blog. Also, if you have those, it means you are rich enough! Rich enough to afford the technology. and I believe that none of you are afraid that you will have no money to buy food, am I rite? Whereby, there are billions of people out there who are craving for food right in this second just to continue to live,to survive.

Feel lucky enough? No? Okay, I'll continue :) If you can read this post, meaning you have a healthy pair of eyes! But, do you know that there are hundreds of kids, yes, kids, with retino blastoma (eye cancer) and they couldn't see bcause of that? They are supposed to play with their toys, running around like a maniac and enjoying their childhoods. But sadly, they can't. :(

If you are not sick, if you don't have to pay for fentilator (the tools to help people to breathe when they can't breathe by themselves), if you still can move your arms/your legs/your other body parts, if you still can see, you still can hear, you still can taste. THOSE ARE MIRACLES! and you have to be GRATEFUL!

If you have the money to buy food, to buy drink, to go to school/college, to shop, to ride a bike, to drive a car, to buy androids/any other gadgets, to have an internet connection on your own, then lemme tell you 1 thing. YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

So, are you gonna keep complaining about your life, or are you gonna start showing your gratitude?

Life is BEAUTIFUL, only when you SEE it that way. You can't ask others to make your life beautiful. Its YOU. Its YOUR LIFE, and it DEPENDS on YOU. and the only thing to see your life beautifully is to be GRATEFUL!

Be grateful on what you HAVE right now, and stop focusing & complaining about what you DO NOT HAVE.


Have a nice day & always be grateful! ALWAYS :)

another Versace ft H&M ?

Hi, there! Does anyone get the chance to own any Versace for H&M collection? Yes? No?
If yes, then I'm happy for you.. but I don't :( I want the suede boots and the red dress so muchoo... but I can't go to Spore this year :( we can't buy them online, can we?

For those who didn't get the chance to own this AW2011 collection, don't be sad bcause.....I just found out that there will be another Versace for H&M collaboration for SS2012! :D and here are the sneak peek...



The collection that is announced to be on the floor on February 2012 consists of tiny fruits printed sandals, bikinis, shorts and also the gold Versace jewellries. I heard that this collection will bring a lot of pastel colors, unlike this recent AW2011 collection which are bright and colorful.

If you miss this AW2011 then don't worry, let's be prepared for the next SS2012 collection! I'll surely grab them! :D

See ya on the next post... xoxo

Recently I'm busy with the final project of mine. Just in case you're asking, I'm taking Fashion Marketing and Management major (degree) in Raffles Design Institute. and this is my final term (I literally ony have 1month and 19days left to finish my project) its an eCommerce project involves establishing a brand, making a business plan (both online and offline), planning the marketing activities and other buying activities. Basically all about business plus fasion mixed-up together.
Fortunately (thankGOD) I almost finish with my report, except the financial part (oh yes! fashion students do maths too) then I gotta finish my website and video commercial too by next month. Please wish me luck for this. I'll make a post about my project later on ;)

oh, and if you notice, I changed the color of the fonts on my blog (a slight change though) it was blue (the twitter's blue) now its the eggplant color :D

HAVE A NICE DAY!

a ride to heaven


I think you can kinda guess what I'm gonna write in this post, and yes. I'll dedicate this post for Simoncelli.

Honestly, I like GP but I'm not a mad-fan who always attends every single GP race. and to be honest, I only know a few names like Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner, etc.
Today I was in the middle of enjoying my Sunday until I read about that breaking news about Simoncelli. then a minute after, my boyfriend showed me that incident video. Although I don't know anything about Simoncelli (except the fact that he's one of GP racers) but watching that video really made me gasp. How life is so short, and silly in some ways.

This should be our reminder. Idk about you guys, but me, everytime I heard that someone (especially the ones at my age) passed away, I always feel like....life is really so short. You may breathe at this second, but you have absolute no idea what may happen on the next second ahead. Are you ready if that day comes? If not, why aren't you? Issit because you think you haven't done enough yet in your life? For me, to be honest, I'm not ready too (if you aren't ready, then you aren't alone!) I feel like I still have to do soo many things before I die. I still want to graduate first, to get married, to have gorgeous babies, etc and etc. This really makes me realized that life is too short to be wasted. So, use every single second of your life wisely, guys! Don't do things that you'll regret later on *wink*

Okay, enough about the sad things. now let's move to the happy things! and, talking about getting married, today I'll show you the lates Vera Wang's runway show.


What do you think about black wedding dress?



Being born as Chinese and raised with Chinese culture, its not easy to just change the tradition and wear black gown to your wedding.


but surprisingly, I don't mind.... I'm okay with black cause black is gorgeous and sexy in a good way. it doesn't always represent funeral (as what my family will say) and somehow I think my parents will be fine as long as I love it...its just the rest of the family.



what do you think? would you wear black, white, red or....? what color do you want to use for your perfect wedding gown?

happily ever after



I've been blogging for quite some times, but I hardly ever post an outfit post of myself. why? I guess I'm not that confident of myself. I'm not tall nor slender. I'm only 5.2"-5.3"ish, which is (yes you can say it) short. I used to compare myself with others (alot) until last night I read Michelle Koesnadi's blog (www.glistersandblisters.com) before heading to bed and it really spoke to me. Yea, I should stop comparing myself to others because I'll never ever be the person I wish I was.

I also rarely update my blog. Well, I guess I really am a moody blogger. I wish I could wake up in the morning everyday and have the idea on what I should post, but I don't. and there are days when I feel like there's no use of me keep posting on my blog because sometime I feel like nobody would read my blog anyway, but I guess I'm wrong. Cause I blog for myself, not for others, and I do feel that I should (have to) change my perception from now on.

After those silly thoughts hanging on my head for hours last night, today I woke up with a big smile on my face. why? because I found out that Silvia Siantar from www.poisepolish.com (one of the people on the fashion field that I look up to) leave a comment on my post. She even said that she enjoys reading my blog and that she IS following my blog! it just thrills me. (If you read this, I just wanna say thanks, sil! I really hope that one day we can be friends)

So today, I'm basically on a good mood and I'll make a post. but this time, its not for anyone else. it IS for ME.

Please mind me for the long prolog. This post will be from my other posts. Its about wedding gowns. and nope, I'm not getting married anytime soon, not just yet. but when the time comes, I want to be the prettiest woman my future husband ever seen. and these pictures below are some of the dresses I want to wear on my BIG day






I don't know if you do too, but I always dream about my wedding day since the first time when I became a flower girl on my cousin's big day ages ago when Yuni Shara was still a diva in Indonesia.








I always want mine to be romantic, full of flowers with dim lights on the venue and the sound of the orchestra covering every single corner up. Well, that's mine, what about yours? :)

get scarved!


To be honest, this is the most favourite runway collection so far for me. Its only couple days ago I saw the Hermes - Paris Mon Ami ad campaign in youtube, then yesterday I saw it on a blog post by Silvia Siantar (www.poisepolish.com) and just now I saw the runway photos from Dolce and Gabbana collection (yea, I know I'm that late due to the exam I had this morning. and yes, exam, on Saturday, morning) Its all about scarf! Scarves everywhere....


I have no idea that outerwear + skirt made from scarves could be this pretty






this wraped-around scarf dress (?) is genius!

have been looking for this kind of scarf (the one made as skirt) for agesss.....

.....and this too! briliant creation





oh! and this as well.... loving the motif on top
