kung hei fat choi! spoken like a true asian. its the time of the year where people "start off brand new". everything must be new. in fact the chinese people celebrate their new year really really really new. and i mean, they have to wear new clothes, buy brand new money and (if i recall) cut their hair? even though im not chinese my family and close friends do exchange lai see packets, lai see packets are little red packets with money inside- for those who dont know
we walked around mong kok and fai yuen market and couldn't help but notice the insignificant number of stalls that sold, sweet treats, nuts and traditional chinese snacks. endless lines were created outside shops that sold all things red. my friend kelly and peter were looking for something to sip and nibble on. we found a little shop that sold fresh coconut juice. kelly and peter ordered the juice straight from the coconut itself whereas, i went for a more different choice and got coconut milk with bubbles. i have been a fan of pearl milk tea and coming across this beverage; i thought id be different and try. 
lets just say, i think trying it was alright enough.
mong kok was packed, the mtr, the mall and outside, we couldn't move pass 3 cm per minute and couldn't help rubbing against complete strangers. we were planning on spending some time shopping but with our lack of patience we decided to leave. brace yourself for the holidays.

Kat-von-D-Inked-Magazine-1
Kat-von-D-Inked-Magazine-2
the new issue of inked magazine.
i have fallen in love with another guilty pleasure. i have collected a bunch of magazines 
  • NYLON as my first
  • teen vogue 
  • shape
and now this. inked magazine takes me on a journey in finding this rare magazine. and would do anything to grab a copy and seeing its my idol of all time (kat von d). the magazine is quite artistic in its structure and fancy photoshop and photography. 
i guess its the only thing i do read.

OMG! shoes shoes ....

i spontaneously purchased these shoes last weekend during my day with the father. in fact, i really wasn't planning on going shopping that day. however there was a new shop that caught my interest in the world of shoes, the Clarke's Originals store along the mong kok street- upon which has several cases of acid attacks. yes that street. 
completely forgetting about the unfortunate events, i took a stroll along that street to the very end to pay a visit to this store that i've been longing to enter. sadly enough, there wasn't anymore of the funky shoes i saw a while back- they've all sold out- i can see why though. however one particular pair caught my attention, initially the shoes that caught my eye were the same pair but in black swede. but being blessed with the feet that i have, (notice the sarcasm) they didnt have my size. but these blue ones i considered next, to be franc i cant believe i didnt see these in the beginning, i love the shade of blue meets purple and just the comfort level its in. amazing. it reminds me of the mod style people rocked during the reign of the beatles. ever get those moments where just one item- whether that be shoes or a bag-make you feel chic right away?
only problem. its swede, big time on keeping them ruin-free.

if i can, you can.

warning: this blog is dedicated for girls, boys i advice you to close the page.
There's something about being in a long distant relationship that i cant get enough of. just 7 months ago i met this dj on a beautiful little island, who wouldve thought that i would be falling head over heels for him. hmmmmmm.
 i guess its an argument between love and hate with the distance of 693 miles. its hard enough dealing with the distance but i enjoy every second chatting and skyping with him; there are times in the past where i would wait in anticipation on when i will be seeing him again. its not easy but thank god for not dealing with the time difference. 
your probably wondering, why am i writing this? 
well, i have a couple of friends who will be going or are going through long distance with their boyfriends. and this blog is dedicated to all of you out there and these girlies experiencing the same situation. 


my only advice, keep loving, keep contact and keep strong. 
my friends had their boyfriends living in the same country as them from the very beginning, and the next thing you know they are off to university. this is the part about growing up that sucks, where things change in fast motion. so i can feel their pain to a certain extent, whereas for me, we started this way. but still. 


the distance made me realise that when im with my boy how much i really do love him and miss him when we're apart. 
yea yea CHEEESE. but these are for my girlies. kelly smith and lucy croft.
love
muah
mine.

23 days in counting until i see jaime!
sorry for the major cheese y'all

theres a naked man

project update: 
sorry i've been under the shed once again, i've realised exactly how much work and how much time we actually have left and its left me to start procrastinating once again. having no option ive decided to shut myself out from going on and blogging and actually locking myself in my little world just to do work. one of the reasons why i didn't blog, because my life has been work. speaking of which these are photos from the other day of my final final photos, for my tattoo concept.
