Catch Up // #Crazycatlady: A Prologue.

Hello! It’s Friday night and my nose is stuck. (i love how i can open with a line like that, just ’cause i can :D)
So my sinus is acting up which is making me lazy to go out tonight, plus i think im still all partied out from New Years. Been feeling pretty homey lately, and i really wanna blog about New Years in Langkawi soon (which was frakking awesome btw), and SOON TOO so i don’t forget the good stories Am currently waiting on Loong to post up his batch of pictures ’cause his are pretty sweet. Or i might just blog first and add his pictures in later. i dunno.


Despite my slower blog updates, lately im still getting emails from readers & AOF customers, with an array of subjects from travel tips to where-i-got-that-dress-from, or just a simple hello. A more recent one requesting to buy some of the outfits ive worn on my blog it’s all very nice, and i always love hearing back from the readers. Which is why tonight im sitting at my laptop, hot chamomile tea by my side, sniffing minyak cap kapak in between sentences (sinus is no fun guys T_T),
wanting to say hello! What’s up and howdy do :) My recent posts have been very picture-heavy, and make no mistake this will probably be the trend you’ll see around here nowadays. But once in a while, when im up for it, i’ll pop in for a little word-vomitty catch-up sesh.

xx


Another email i got this week was a kitten-up-for-adoption one.

It was one of those mundane weekdays where nothing really spectacular happened, then that night i received that email with a picture attached to it – and it IMMEDIATELY lit up my day



YAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH CUTECUTECUTECUTECUETUCUTCETUC


I’m always on the lookout for these kitty adoption listings ’cause i REALLY REALLY WANT ONE LAAA. And this isn’t like an impulse thing, ive thought about getting one for months now! What’s basically holding me back, is my immense fear of accidentally killing the little bugger. I believe this stems from the fact that ive never had a pet in my house, EVER. And my parents’ relentless disapproval towards any of us getting a pet, since young; one infamous argument i had with my mum (at roughly age 9 or so) that caused me to storm off petulantly, “Mummy you wait, when i grow up im gonna open a ZOO!”


And with that, my childhood dreams of owning my own zoo shall start with a single kitty :) Back to my email, i quickly began googling on how to care for a cat. Doesn’t sound too difficult, they seem to be fairly low-maintenance… but i don’t know, i’ve still got a lot of What-If’s flying around in my head, where to keep it, in my room (messy) or the house (massive for a kitten, can’t keep an eye on it?), and if in my room, will it poop everywhere and make my room SMELL like a zoo -_-

I began asking friends all my questions too. Some were helpful, while others…




Doesn’t exactly help either when Murni, Jezmine, Gwen, Jenhan, Lim & many others are posting pictures of their precious kittens on Instagram and everywhere all the time, calling upon my #crazycatlady instincts to join them soon… hehe.

I dunno. Well that’s what’s been occupying my mind lately, no promises that i will in fact get one soon, but no promises that i won’t either… Consider this fair warning so if i do finally decide to do it, you won’t be too surprised!


Oh and any tips for me on how to care for cats, or even IF i should get one; would be most helpful :) and anymore cat adoption listings too, send em my way!
Lastly, if anyone is interested in adopting the 2 cats in the picture above, let me know and i’ll send you the contact person to call. That’s if i haven’t decided to adopt them myself yet ;)

okdezzallnowbai!

Photo Diary: Last Look at 2011.

Posted on December 30th, 2011
Filed under , , , | No Comments

Today’s the last day I’m spending in KL in 2011 (will be in Langkawi tomorrow ushering in the new year), and clearly the only blogging i can do would be another Photo Diary; last-look-at-my-year style.

Only to find that i did the exact same thing last year Seems like the final 2 months of the year are always busy. I discussed this phenomenon with a friend/ fellow blogger recently. Year-ends are always a mad-busy period for work, and jam packed with social events/birthdays/holidays etc; and with whatever’s left of your time, you just want to spend it chilling with family, friends, or even just by yourself. My favourite me-time moments recently consist of nail polish and/or face masks; Christmas music in the background (Christmas ain’t over, there’s 12 days of Christmas or something right? RIGHT!), and spending hours on Youtube and/or 9gag LOL’ing to myself like a crazy person. IT FEELS GREAT.

My point is, with your down-time, you’re not always in the mood to write something funny or creative, and edit photos all day. Howeverrrr, today i did wake up jumped out of bed in the mood to blog and stuff. The timing is completely typical of me, though. My final day in KL and i really need to tie up some loose ends, last minute errands, attend a belated-Christmas dinner party tonight, pack for my trip, sleep and be ready by 6am, only then i’ll be in the mood to blog. Very goooood.


Ok then let’s go! Bits & bobs of my November & December!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year folks :)

Reunion Friday. (Heineken Party Moments)

Lord knows I’ve been a fan of Heineken for as long as I can remember; not just the beer but basically any event they’ve ever hosted. What can I say, it’s always a party when Heineken’s around :)
So when they approached me with some cash to throw a party with my friends this festive season…… :D well, it’s nice to know the feeling is mutual!


I rounded up the usual suspects, most of whom I’ve not actually seen in a while, and we all celebrated at our home ground; Zouk KL. Haven’t gone for a TAG party in some time too, and I miss it so!

A night filled with beautiful people, and beautiful things. I was graciously invited to the grand opening of Michael Kors’ 2-story flagship store at Pavilion last week, and here are some snaps of just a few of the things that I’m lusting over. That last picture is credited to Syats; as Sheryl and I were caught in the horrible rain and traffic jam, and barely missed the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The best part was when we left the store and made our way to Sultan’s Lounge for the after party, we spotted a lady who zoomed past us head-to-toe clad in brand new Michael Kors merchandise. Literally. Head. To. Toe. From the sequin dress to the tan heels, the croc skin handbag, right down to the new MK watch. I’ve got a feeling there’s a new pair of shades in that bag somewhere. Sheryl & I looked at each other knowingly – “Some day.” ;)

Spamming you with my Instagram images, wachaa!

And found more treasures as i dug into camera & phone picture folders.

Some pictures have captions, hover over pictures to read them. Though this might not work if you’re reading my blog on your smartphones. Sorry about that. But i like to keep things as neat as possible :)

Sometimes, when you’re having difficulty expressing yourself, you find song lyrics (or in my case, a chance encounter with a blog post by twitchvintage) to express them for you. It’s comforting to know that somewhere out there, someone is going through things that i’m going through. Slightly eerie that it’s so spot on, though.


I am physically and mentally drained. I hate taking breaks/hiatuses, and the fact that i have to now, is driving me mad with guilt. A lot has indeed gone on in my life recently, and as a result, my blog, and primarily An Old Flame shop has suffered for weeks now. Ironically, what’s slowly pulling me out of my hiatus is more work – but some of these are really exciting & inspiring upcoming projects so that’s good news :) Currently im being *extremely* picky with the projects being proposed to me (as if i wasn’t picky enough in the past!). Not trying to be fussy or whatever, but i want to give my all for any and every project i work with, and temporarily my all is not as much as it used to be.


Aside from that, what’s keeping me sane is music, music, and a lot of new music (it certainly soothes this savage beast!) whether it’s at home or at parties. Also a lot of chamomile tea. And prayer. And chats with friends, some of whom are undeniably some of the strongest and most inspiring women i know.


I always thought being a non-sharer (and therefore non-spreader) of problems & negative energy was a good thing, but now im thinking twice. Well anyway, so this is your resident superwoman telling you that, superpowers need a break sometimes. And that she’s working on it :) Life can be hard. And with the really hard stuff, sometimes it’s not a matter of finding ways to deal with it; but to survive, give it time, and soldier on. And come back guns ablazing.
