A great thanks to Fashion Valet once agin for the amazing bag :)

I've been having this huge urge to change my hair color for the pass few weeks, and just few days ago I spontaneously went to the saloon and got it done. I initially wanted and insist with a more lighter and brighter color, but my skin tone does suit anything too intense. Thus they decided with a more darker but still visible color, and it turn out great. Thank INC and I sincerely pin one's faith on that my hair color does not fade in to some abhorrent and disconcerting color ever.

Don't lose it all, time to get a data !! :)



In general, many people always assumed that relationships are blissful and sweet and loving . But the reality is, it's not all about candies and kisses, sometimes there a lot of hardship to deal with and it can be really emotionally taunting and mentally demanding. In a relationship, there are difficulties and hard times that are bound to happen.. Especially, arguments and disagreements, it does really heats up is the whole relationship. Sometimes even the smallest things can lead to an argument. However, that's not the worst part yet.



What’s worse is, pairing the idea of a long distance relationship with the sad soppy case of losing communication. I always think that LDR is the hardest type of relationship to deal with. Although some may think and say that, he will be back or I can skype and chat with her online, but sometimes you just misses that moment to be with him/her and what's most disturbing and inferior is that, both the communication flow between each other.



Here's a small minisode video from x Pax for you guys about Long Distance Relationship


As I was watching, it does shows all the symptoms and signs about LDR. But we will wonder what’s actually going on in the video? They seemed happy !. Now that's just what we may think it is.

Although they were going to be far away from each other, they seemed like they were in it forever but then suddenly everything changed! You will wonder ... Did he find someone else? ... Or is it just a simple misunderstanding? Relationships are an uphill battle or sometimes a downwards spiral – it’s really how you manage it but these two sadly went the wrong way. Who’s that guy at the end? Does he like her? And does she like him too?Most importantly, in the case of Amy & Nick’s relationship, it shows that if there is no data, you’ll lose it all.

As for me, I do have my own personal experience when is come to no data. Frankly speaking, I actually don't have any data plan for my phone. Some of you may wonder, a smart phone without a data plan isn't a smart phone anymore OR maybe you 'll feel that,, how on earth did I survive without data plan? At first, I thought that what's the point of having data when everywhere you go there is Wi-Fi provided. I stick to that principle for over two years, and it was this year that it finally hit on and kick in to my nerves and head that, I NEED A DATA.

Yes, I would say that most of the places like restaurants, hotels, lobbies, they do have Wi-Fi provided. However, sometimes is quite hard to live without internet connection when you needed it the most. Particularly when it comes to whatsapp, instagram and facebook, they are my daily dose of entertainment and fun, is something that I cant live without. At times when I'm stuck in a jam, it's the time where I ll longed and wished i have data to cure my boredom. After all, everything is on the internet now and it costs almost nothing at all. Same goes for relationship as well. just as long as you have data, relationships will go smooth sailing so dial *128# to sign up for any pack to have it all.

Before i proceed to the items, is good to introduce and talk a little about Fashion Valet. It is an online shopping store with over 150 different brands of local origin within the South East Asian region such as Thailand and Indonesia. Their products range from trendy/ modern to traditional. My mind was in the state of doubt when i was browsing through the website. I was so indecisive in terms of what should I pick, because they have so many choices and I just wanted mostly everything. Over 150 brands as mentioned, Fashion Valet has practically everything a girl needs and look for.

Besides that, what's best about fashion valet is that they ship worldwide. For Malaysian itself, we have the privileged to enjoy free shipping. However, as for International orders it depends on weight of parcel.

Blazer : Zara | Dark Blue Trousers : H&M | Clutch : Vincci | Heel : Zara

A day well spend with blazer and high heels, just like any other day that i wrapped myself up when the sun couldn't stop glaring down at me.

It didn't occur to me that this year would be the last year I'll ever witness such phenomena like 12.12.12. Well, it takes another century for it to occur again,  and that's if I'll ever have a chance to live that long. Besides that, been haunted and fed by the fact that the world is going end soon by my fellow friends around, it just made the day more precious and it made me started thinking, just a slight thought  about how not ready I am to die. ;p
