Randomness: Cartoons?!?

Switching out my iPhone case again.

What do you think? Too much going on?

Randomness: Keep calm and carry me home

Saw this iPhone and fell in love with it. Still waiting for Mr. Right to sweep me off my feet.

One of my friends commented that it is perfect for a night out when you are getting a bit tipsy. Show the iPhone case and message is delivered :)

On a side note, I really wanted to do a Nail of the Day post too but I kind of messed up my nails. Wanted a good close up. I didn't wait for the glitter polish to fully dry so it smudged. Can't tell right?

Nails:
-base: Opi Bubble Bath
-glitter: gift from Korea (might from the brand Étude but not sure)

Review: Dialogue in the Dark

An hour as a blind person

We live out our days working, watching movies, driving, and hanging out with friends.  We tend to forget that there are a group of people who aren't has privileged as us.  

Dialogue in the Dark is a great example of how 'normal' people can experience what is it like to be blind.  We use our eyes everyday but forgot how really important they are.  I wish I had 20/20 vision, on the other hand, just being able to see with the innovation of prescription eyeglasses is already more than I can ask for.  Just imagine what it would be like 200 years ago. 

Before you enter the exhibition, the personnel will ask you to take off all objects reflecting light along with any valuables.  (There is a locker provided).  After that, you will be given walking sticks.  

I would actually recommend doing this with a few friends.  At least you can share the experience.  Plus, it can be quite scary at first when you enter the rooms.

Then someone will walk you through a pitch dark hallway and you will be greeted by your guide.  The entire experience takes about an hour.  The guide will take you through various rooms where you can experience things that we usually experience in daily life as a blind person.

Dialogue in the Dark does various exhibitions around the world so check out the one closest to you!

Randomness: Halloween 2012

Ready for Halloween?

Ok, Halloween weekend has already passed so all the adults could have fun but now it's time for the kids to start trick or treating? Later, resulting in sugar high from all the candy.

Its been a while since I had a proper Halloween. Don't even remember what was my costume. Anyways, it's time to start carving the pumpkins.

Happy Halloween!

Randomness: Moustache/ Mustache fever

Looks like its been going on for a few months already but I finally decided to change my Iphone case to go with my moustache screen saver.

I've actually seen another case where its ballerinas and the tutus are moustaches.  Super cute! 

Another random fact: I write moustache in a British way even though I have an American education. Weird!?!

Quote of the Day: Because You're Worth It

It's been a gloomy few months at the office. Several people want to quit but no one dares make the move. Other people keep waiting for the right moment.

Time to awake folks! We aren't getting any younger....big 30 is coming whether you want to or not. One of my friends told me that she would only have a job that she loved no matter what the pay. Inspiration For everyone on what work really should be. It's not worth it to slave away your time for nothing.

The quote came to mind last night. Thought that it would be able to motivate some people for the nudge/push they need to take the next step.

On a totally different note, another friend told me I needed to lower my standards in guys. Sorry folks, that ain't happening. Don't settle for less just because someone or society says so either. It's your life! My prince charming is out there ^_^

Randomness: New Iphone case

Considering that Apple just announced the launch of Iphone 5, I decided that I needed to go out and get a new Iphone 4s case.

Reason?  Because the Iphone 5 is a total new facelift, none of the previous gadgets can be used with it.  (It's thinner and wider.)  Hence, all the accessories companies will be in a rush to roll out cases to fit the new Iphone and mine would be obsolete :(  Just my thoughts.

This is only my 3rd case but will probably be buying another one soon....

Fashionista: Taylor Swift dress

It's coming closer to the end of the year which also means it is wedding season.  In November alone, I have 1 engagement party and 5 weddings to attend to.  (It is actually only within a 2 week time span too!).

Now, since a girl can never have too many dress, I did what any girl would do..... get one tailored.  Custom fit is one of the best ways to flaunt your curves and hide what you don't like.

Although I can't show the dress at the moment (since its still getting made in the shop), I'll show you the style of inspiration for my dress.

Apologize for not taking a picture of the fabric earlier (silly me), its a Pantone 2716. Yes, I did a google search :P  It is this beautiful purple with blue tint to it.  Even the seamstress asked me what color it was and I couldn't describe it either.

Back to the dress, I'm not making it as see-thru as Taylor.  If you notice, she actually has a skin-colored lyra mesh which is helping to hold the dress together.  Mine will be higher in both the sides and the back.  Will definitely post pics once it is done.

Quote of The Day: He's just not that into you

Reality Check

The truth is always difficult to except but sometimes you need a reminder.

I read the book a few years back. The bottom line is: dating should be effortless with the right guy.

Never underestimate your self worth. If he's interested, he will work for it. If you have to make an effort, then maybe.......

Randomness: Sun After Rain

After it was drizzling on and off for the entire day, the sun finally decided to show itself.

Super aura!!!

Randomness: Hello Kitty Fever

There was a time when I loved Saniro stuff but that was in elementary.... and many many years ago.

My trip to Books Kinokuniya (Asian equivalent of Boarders) shocked me. I came across this book. Seriously! A Hello Kitty Guidebook to London?!?

What is the world coming to?
Would you buy it?

Quote of the Day: Taking Chances

Simply something I thought of after spending an afternoon with my besties whom I haven't seen in a year.

You are getting older everyday. What have you done with your life? Time waits for no one.

In My Footsteps: Sunset @ Khao Yai

Another Lazy Sunday

Khao Yai (big mountain) is one of my fav places to go especially during the winter because of its cool weather. Even if it's summer now, the breeze is still cool.

Hope you love the view like I do ^_^ it's breathtaking

Wednesday Blues

It comes like clock work. Everyday at 5pm......
Prep yourself with an umbrella, and stock your car with food and water because it's gonna be a long wet journey home.

Lazy Sunday by the beach

Good morning :) Rise & shine

A little bit of Luxury 

Teatime with Sansiri

Doing a bit of condo browsing and fell in love with this condo. (Its over my budget, plus I already have a mortgage on another condo)

Entrance Masterpiece

Lobby area

Sansiri is a well known real estate developer in Thailand.  They sell 'lifestyle'.  Personally, I love their concept. Most of their properties are in the grade A and B range.

Quattro is at the top of the food chain.  It is the high end of Sansiri's brand of condos in A++ grade. Everything is like a service apartment with valet, butler, 24hr security, concierge, fitness facilities, chill out terrace (aka sun deck) and more.  Basically, you are paying for a life of luxury.

Love this mailroom

Swimming Pool

Would you like to live here?

Foodie Alert: Durian ?!?

Durian (ทุเรียน) aka King of Fruits

It is a very love it or hate it kind of fruit.  For me, loveeee it!
The fruit itself has a thick spiky skin.  You need a really sharp knife and gloves just to open it to get the 'fruit' aka edible flesh part inside.  The flesh will be a beautiful yellow color.  Its actually durian season now so that is why you will find it at fresh markets around Southeast Asia and the only time of the year where I can indulge :)

Why love it? 
The flesh should have a cripsy/crunchy skin and inside is soft and sweet. (At least that is my preference)

Why hate it? 
Durian has a strong very unique smell. So unique to the point that it is banned from public areas like hotels and airports. In short, some people think it stinks.

In My Footsteps: Bollywood

Pre-Travel

Since I'll be jetting off to Mumbai tonight, thought that I'll give you guys a preview of this to see.  Depending on the hotel wifi, I might be able to upload some stuff.  If not, then wait til I get back.  (I'm only there for a little bit more than 48 hours... maybe around 55hours?!?)

I've been to Mumbai numerous times but never as a tourist. Always work related (hence the 55hours).

Bollywood is usually what is referred to the Indian Film Industry in Bombay. (Its a really big one too!)  Since Bombay = Mumbai, I'm calling this my BOLLYWOOD trip.

So, let's prepare for bollywood dance!!

Quote of the day: Carrie from SATC

Living life and taking chances

Saw this on Twitter and loved it <3 You only live once and its ok to take risks.  That is what it means to L-I-V-E (don't waste it on a mundane 9-5 job a.k.a my life)
