I will do it all over again.


*added shopping pictures as per requested wtf*


Haihhh, boring.
Why are people creating a hoo-haa over what I said about the pseudo-Jing comment. Yawnnnn wtf.


Seriously man. Saying that I am making a personal attack at the commenter. 'Cause she was sharing a problem. Errr. Right. Bragging about how her buyers are stupid sure sounds like a problem. And haughtily claiming that I am disrespecting people's secrets. -____- I totally see the connection. Uh huh.

In any case, I am extremely appreciating of those people who have share their personal story with me, with us here. The comments are still pouring in steadily, much to my surprise, and I am really really touched by it. I respect each and every one of your tales, because I believe everyone has a story to tell.


Anyway, I don't have to explain myself. But no, I do not regret what I said. Unless YOU are the one who made that offensive Jing-soundalike comment, and it was not meant to defame Jing. If not, who are you to speak as if you know what was the intentions behind that comment.

I don't care whether the person deliberately imitated Jing. Or whether she was just boasting about her own sales. Do you know after I posted that excerpt, how many people messaged me online to apologise for thinking that the comment comes from Jing??And Jing herself got numerous text messages from her buyers/friends, apologising to her for thinking that she was the commenter.

So, I don't care what the original commenter intended-- but the truth is, A LOT OF PEOPLE DID MISUNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS MY SISTER.


I don't give a damn if you flame me or pepper my page with nasty comments, BUT IF MY LOVED ONES ARE AFFECTED, hell yes I am going to defend them and set things straight.


And flame all you want. I am not bothered. I am the type to go "wheeeeee flamer I am so femesssss" WTFF and proceed to forget about the statement. Because the truth is? I am really comfortable in my own skin, and I know where I stand and what I stand for. :)


So if given a choice again?
I will fight for my sister's innocence like a proud warrior, tall and honorable. ;)






Haih. Spoil my mood only. I wanted to post up happy pictures (of shopping wtf).
Another day! :)


*******************************************

Hmm, I notice I have a habit of appending updates to entries. 'Cause starting a new entry takes great commitment wtf.

Anyway! Very short update here. I just want to declare to the world that I have officially diagnosed myself with an obsessive compulsive problem (check out my other eons-old obsessive post).



How else could I explain why in one night I bought:



2 pairs of white shoes.




This pair of shoes is so pretty! Love the subtle braiding around the shoe, and you got to love the oriental knot. :) Got it for work, 'cause I am becoming lazy and not feel like wearing high heels to work. (this pair has a slight 1-inch plus heel) T___T




Preppy schoolgirl-ish pumps with court heels, suitable for work and play, I likee! :P





4 belts.
Quoting Smalls: Hui Wen has enough belts to go around the earth.
So why in the world I need another 4 belts, I don't know wtf.



And my favorite favorite buys of this month!!!


5 vintage bow hairclips! Aren't they absolutely GORGEOUS. *blissful sigh*


I am so so so so happy that I stumbled into this vintage shop! And the owner is so cute, 'cause one of the clips were dusty, so she cut me a 50% discount. :D And aah, she is so adorable, 'cause when she talks about vintage clothes, she uses words like "passion" and "fate" and "let it be", hahaha. But she didn't let me buy this fantastic maxi dress 'cause it was too big. :( And she tsk-tsked me when I said obstinately that I could alter it, 'cause she said I have to let things be and be patient, haha.

I am so going back there again! :D
(Close-ups of these beautiful accessories when I wear/use them :P)




And another 100 hangers wtf.



Sigh, I have always wanted to get those pretty girlie fabric-covered hangers with bows and embellishments!! But judging by how I seemed to be getting 100 hangers every other week, if I invest in those hangers, I could easily be the first person in the world to go brankrupt by buying hangers. -___-




Anyway, no pictures of my room for another 2 weeks! 'Cause my curtains are not ready yet. =/

Our SATC moments/ 1 month's worth of work outfits

*edit*

I am really pissed now.


Did any of you notice a comment which went like that in my pseudo-Postsecret entry?

-I sell clothes online(both 2nd hand and new),I sometimes pretend they're new eventhought they're worn but never wash.

-I'm secretly happy because people are stupid enough to buy my clothes/shoes I sells in my online boutique because they're actually very cheap!

-People with doctorate degree are better in fashion *winks*


I didn't give it any thought, until Jac and Mey told me that they thought the comment was made by Jing. -__-
How many of you made the same association???


When I first read this comment, it didn't even cross my mind that it is my sister, 'cause:
1. She doesn't pretend that the things she sell are brand new-- all her items are clearly and truly described/stated.
2. The things that she is selling are actually very reasonably priced, especially when compared to some of the other online boutiques.
3. She definitely has much better grammar than that.
4. Even if she is truly all the things that the comment mentioned, WHY IN THE WORLD would she be so stupid to put such a taunting comment in MY blog???? -___-


I am really pissed now, 'cause I am not sure whether this commenter is just bragging about her online business, or is she out to defame my sister. If it is the latter, I AM FUCKING PISSED. Because according to Mey and Jac, it sounds like my sister. And even Jing's best friend thinks that the intonation and style sounds like her.

So it means this retard is mimicking my sister-- and out to make her sound bad.


It's really obvious that you are one of Jing's online boutique competitor, and you're just jealous and bitter that she is doing quite well with her online shop . What you are doing is incredibly low, foul, and disgusting. After discussing with Jing, we have a pretty good idea of who you are. So fuck off, before you get fucked by us.


You leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I am going to bed with a smile on my face...
Update tomorrow! :)


******************************************

*updated*


I am seated in Coffee Bean now, the wireless at home is fucked. Which explains my lack of an update yesterday, despite my plain declaration to do so.


To pacify the people who have been asking me to post up more work outfits, here's 1 whole month of them! True to the boyfriend's prediction, I am now severely bored of dressing up for work, and have now resort to grabbing the first thing that catches my eye in the morning, and place importance on, hell forbid it, comfort.

:O


Anyway, the reason why I am forcing almost 2 dozens of outfits down your throats at one go is 'cause, well, posting this 1 month's worth of work outfits would clear off all the work-clothes pictures I have taken in my old place! Remember those dark gloomy pictures which more often than not, you couldn't even see me clearly? Well, no more of that after this (I am happy to announce that my new room is as bright as the heavens wtf), and I can start with a clean slate. ;)


Week 1


Monday.
Belted dress-shirt which I got for my internship 3 years ago. Which I was aghast to find, much more snug now. T_T
And I noticed that I have an affinity to dress more formal/proper on Mondays! =/




Tuesday.
Satin black dress shirt with white trimmings. Gone for a monochromatic look, paired with bright red suede pumps. Which is not so red in the picture. Damn you, dark gloomy room!

Some of my colleagues were shocked that I wore red shoes. Auditors. T__T





Wednesday.
Sheer-ish top with big bell sleeves, worn with navy skirt and navy pumps.

The top is actually a sheer kaftan that I got as a bikini cover-up! :P




Thursday.
Country Road white semi high-neck blouse which I got from Camberwell market. For like AUD2. :D
Work with black gladiator belt here.





Friday.
Yes yes, I have too many white shirts. *wry smile*
My happy checkered cigarette pants! Which are a little too long for me at the moment. Alteration is coming its way!



Week 2



Monday.
Black long-sleeves top with pleated chiffon and velvet ribbon trimmings (velvet ribbon wtf). Worn with dark gray pinstriped high-waisted skirt which looks black 'cause of THE DARK AND GLOOMY ROOM. *angsty wtf*






Tuesday.
Pretty patterned fabric corsage which broke T_T, and beige linen slacks.
Love this Topshop necklace I have on-- the cream and gold makes a classy blend. :)





Wednesday.
Pink satin top with soft gray cardie and cream swing skirt. Felt like being girlie. ;)




Thursday.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this skirt I have on! One of those last minute shopping decisions before I left Melbourne. It's gold/silver-ish, with 2 big black buttons as accents. And it's actually shorter than what my company allows, but oh well! :P




Friday.
Bright mustard yellow striped cardie with white slacks. One of my comfy outfits, 'cause I took the bus back to KL on the same night! :)




Week 3



Tuesday.
I wore flats for work, gasp! 'Cause I really needed to wear comfy shoes, my feet (or rather foot) was killed by the nude pumps I wore here. T__T
Got this pair of electric blue pumps from Camberwell market as well... It's like the most comfortable thing ever! Like bedroom slippers. :D




Wednesday.
Cream knitted vest over silk camisole, gray slacks, and Zara beige wedges with black bows.
My friend asked me, "You think today casual Friday ar!" -___-




Thursday.
I call this my kebaya top! :P
Haha, actually nola, it's mandarin collared, but cuts down to a V-neck. Of a vibrant orange-red shade, and made of a silky/sude-like fabric, another one of my comfy outfits!





Friday.
You might remember this outfit from here. :D
And someone asked me why I could wear a arm-bearing/halterneck top for work, well, I had my trustworthy pashmina! :P



Week 4



Monday.
Oversized white linen safari-inspired shirt, worn with tan belt and khaki skirt. And my vintage pearl strands. :D





Tuesday.
Repeated the same top refer to above), 'cause I wanted to wear flats again *sheepish* 'Cause I flew home on this day, I wanted to be comfortable!! Paired it with a brown plaid tulip skirt this time.
And I wore another pair of my electric blue ballet flats. Sigh, I swear to god, when I bought this pair of shoes, I was convinced that I do not own a pair of electric blue shoes! But apparently I do. -__-





Friday. No Wednesday and Thursday outfits 'cause I was home! :D
F21 red turtleneck which has peekaboo details all over the shoulder-chest area (shit sounds so slutty wtf), and my beautiful pumps, gotten from one of those junkyard sales in KL! :)



***************************************

Ok fine, despite the cheerful depiction of my pictures above, I am actually very very very sad now. :(

Quoting Lemony Snicket wtf, it was just a series of unfortunate events la. :(
Or more like, a series of things that are not going my way.





It's the Mooncake Festival this Sunday, and I am not going to be at home with my family.
For the past 2 years, I didn't celebrate it at home 'cause I was in Melbourne; but 3rd year in a row? Man, that sucks.
I actually bought a ticket to home this weekend, but 'cause there was a department BBQ last night, I postponed it to next weekend, completely forgetting that this Sunday is Mooncake Festival. :(


My wireless at my new place is fucked. I don't know how the tenant fucked up the connection, but she did. And the best part is? She went back to KL, so she can't fix the problem. And even better? She will be back in Kl for TWO weeks. Meaning I have to live without internet access for 2 weeks? I am fucked.


I took leave on 2nd and 3rd October 'cause of the Hari Raya Haji public holiday-- I would get to be home for a stretch of 5 days. Was even planning to go somewhere with the boyfriend for a short holiday. But I just found out that the Welcome Night of my company is held on 3rd Oct, and it is actually quite a big deal-- the whole of Zouk would be specially reserved for my company. It would be good for me to be present at this event, 'cause not only can I meet new people, it would also be a good opportunity to bond with my colleagues and superiors. So... I am deciding to cancel that leave. So now I have nothing to look forward to. No time off from work. No holiday. No quality time at home.


And the absolutely, absolutely worst thing is... My family is going to Taiwan next week. It is pretty much an impromptu trip, my aunt/uncle and cousin(s) would be going as well. But barring these details, the main point is that my family would be going. Not me. Without me. When the preposition of the trip first came up, I was really excited, 'cause I thought I could take 2 days off and follow them on the trip. Then BAM I found out this week that during that period I would be put on a shit job. So that means no leave for me. And with that, no trip for me. You can't imagine just how upset and left-out and hollow this is all making me feel. The last family trip we went on was to Japan, almost 3 years ago. The last time I missed out on a family trip was during my internship, when they went to Bangkok. And till today, it still makes me feel left-out, especially when they start talking about the memories and amusing events during the trip. Or when we look through the Bangkok pictures. Because I am not even in the pictures. :( And my parents always don't want to go on a Bangkok trip, because they insist that everyone else has been. I haven't been, I always try to tell them. But it never works. Which is why till today I have never set foot in Bangkok. :( And the irony? They will be going to Taiwan next weekend-- the weekend that I will be back in KL.







I am just utterly depressed now.
