Koreadepart~!

I got to know about this website from another blogger and trust me, once you click on this link, you'll most probably stop buying Korean cosmetics, skin care or hair care products from stores in Malaysia.

I placed my orders on 28th April and they were shipped out on 30th April. Since I opted for EMS, my items arrived on 7th May. I wanted to use registered airmail but the weight of my overall package would have exceeded the given quota of weight, so I had no choice but to use the more expensive option. Good thing is, I got to track my parcel from time to time.

So what did I buy?

#1 It's skin Honey Nurti Cleansing Milk
#2 It's skin Secret Garden Shampoo
#3 It's skin Real Real Orange Cleansing Tissue (50P)
#4 Etude House Happy Cleansing Foam
#5 The Face Shop Chia Seed Watery Toner
#6 Skinfood Extravirgin Olive Essence
#7 Nature Republic Professional Pro Treatment Deep Repair
#8 Nature Republic Soothing and Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Why buy from Korea when you can get them in Malaysia too? Because they're so much cheaper online compared to stores!

Reviews will be up when I'm free! Happy shopping girls!

#OOTD 14

Haven't been updating my blog for quite some time now, mainly because I lead a boring lifestyle, besides meeting up with the PorkyRocky gang occasionally :|

This was taken during one of my weekly outing with the bf. Looking back at this picture now, I only have one thought - "I'm sooo running out of bags/clutches to match with my outfits".

Velvet maroon cross skirt - DressMeUp Fashion

Kitty Loafers - The Arrogant Minnie

Mallow Clutch Bag - Kulkith

Top - H&M // Necklace - Kitschen

I've been looking for a pair of kitty loafers when I saw my friend bought it. Shortly after that, I was selected as one of the winners for a contest organized by Keep In Vogue, which entitled me a RM100 voucher to purchase this lovely pair of loafers from TAM. Very good quality and comfortable!

Also, if you noticed, velvet is becoming the trend recently; I've seen lots of blog shops selling velvet dresses/skirts/tops (even nail polish!) etc but this cross skirt is rather unique and difficult to find so I bought it immediately when I stumbled across DMUF.

#OOTD 13

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! How's your holiday so far?

I guess my style for this look is to be feminine and "fierce" at the same time. Weird idea but I think I did quite okay for this one.

For the feminine side, I decided to wear a black horizontal pleated skirt and a red polka dot top. How does one portray the "fierce" part then? By fierce I don't mean one has to act angry on purpose. What I mean here is to put on something that will balance out the feminine side, so in other words, the whole style contributes to a sweet-looking rock queen? LOL!

I used studs-related items a lot; studded loafers from Topshop, studded bag from Fourskin, colourful spike bracelet from A Fashion Story. Being a dreamcatcher lover, I just had to show off my mini dreamcatcher from Taiwan. Thinking of modifying it into a phone plug though, any ideas where I can get those dust stoppers?

Only my right ear is pierced, so with this vintage bone spine helix earcuff from A Fashion Story, I can have something to wear on my left ear now! One pierced ear also indicates that I don't own lots of earrings :( Oh, see that dangling star earring? Bought them from Diva for RM3 only! Cheap cheap sales :D

#OOTD 12

Don't have many pictures for #ootd series because I didn't go out for the last 2 weekends. CNY is just around the corner, have you shopped yet? I haven't :(

Dress: H&M | Rainbow earring: Deeper Than Fashion | Belt: F.O.S

Bracelet: D.lirious | Studded hairband: Fourskin | Loafers: SG

This wasn't the first time I took my pictures here (First time here for this look). Secret Garden at 1U is a good place to enjoy the beautiful flowers but try to go during evening when the weather is not so hot/sunny.

Do you find the flower studded belt unique? Because I do. Some of you might have seen it at Vincci but I bought mine at F.O.S at a much cheaper price. Excuse the obvious vein(s) you see on my hand, but please divert your focus on to the charm bracelet! There are 5 charms altogether; telescope, 3D globe, binoculars, aeroplane, heel. It's also my favourite bracelet whenever I go on a vacation.

This pair of rainbow feathers were painted by the beautiful owner of DTF, Harmini. She sells many one-of-a-kind accessories at her page so do check it out. If you noticed, my neck kind of "sparkled" in the picture, thanks to the vanilla sparkle location by The Body Shop.

Explore Sarawak: Sarawak Culture Village (SCV)

As I was going through my photo albums yesterday, I realized I completely forgot to blog about my trip to Sarawak Culture Village (SCV)! There will be lots of pictures in this post as I didn’t want to collage them because I believe the readers would like to see a bigger and clearer image of this place. Of course, if you’re on my FB friends list, you can always view all the pictures for my Sarawak trip there.

For those who are planning a trip to the Land of The Hornbills, SCV is a place you shouldn’t miss. At this place, you will get to know more about its local ethnic groups namely Iban, Melanau, Bidayuh, Penan and Orang Ulu. If I’m not mistaken, the journey from Kuching town to SCV takes approximately an hour and the entrance fee is RM60 for adults, RM30 for children from age 6-12 and FOC for those below 6.

Here’s a tip if you plan to visit SCV: be there early and do not miss the cultural performance which takes place twice a day at 11.30am and 4pm. For my trip, (my friend and) I miscalculated and arrived at the place an hour late and was this close of missing the performance. Since we wanted to make it for the performance on time, we didn’t have much time to explore each of the houses in SCV. Luckily for us, the person-in-charge said we could come again the next day without purchasing tickets. I think you need at least half a day to fully explore this place so don’t plan too many activities on the day you’re visiting SCV.

Upon purchasing tickets, I was given this SCV passport. Inside, there will be a map, short descriptions of ethnic groups and most importantly, blank pages for you to collect your stamps. These stamps can be found at each house and they kind of serve as a mark that you have left your footprints there.

Okay pictures time! Enjoy them! :)

PS: I took these pictures when everyone else was enjoying the cultural performances (I watched on the previous day), that's why you see empty houses (which is super good because no one was blocking my view).
