Xmas Tree @ KLCC 2007

KLCC always have the highest xmas tree on all the shopping malls.



This year, kinda look the same as per pervious year. Just some slight difference only.

But its still very nice. Pretty and wonderful ~~ There are other decorations around the mall. Later see got time to snap some.

November crafts and swaps

Bits and tips of time, I manage to come out some crafts

Love matchbox swap because they are small, tiny, cheap in postage, and I can do some crafts on top on the small matchbox. Just and hour I could finish the desgin on the matchbox, just the not easy part is to find the bits to put into the matchbox.

christmas (fun) time matchbox
Mostly are my handmade stickers, beads, cut off fabric with xmas feel~~


Blue, Silver and Snowflakes Matchbox(Top), Colors Of The Sea Matchbox (Bottom)


Kwik and Kawaii Zippered Pouch Swap

Morden pirate outfit

I manage to find something like this to wear. Not so much like pirates, but does look something more towards a punk, but I like these outfit.

Xmas Tree @ Time Square 2007

When Time Square yesterday with my collegue too hunt for our Company Chirtsmas party Theme - pirates of the Caribbean that is coming this friday.

Chirtsmas tree on Time Square~~ So lovely~ hope to have 1 tree on my house like that, but I only got and mini one only.

See the ornerments and lights on the tree~~


The whole huge tree from the time square entrance, with snowflakes falling from the top


I love the snowflakes falling from the Sky~


Waiting for KLCC Xmas tree to be up ~~

Chirstmas socks & colorful stockings

Lovely isn't it? But this kind of socks really choose people to wear, if your leg is too fat, it will make your leg more fat ~

Multicolor socks are very popular recommand from Vivi from summer until winter now, but for winter, the quality more thick and heard can cover your skin color and look thiner.

Some tips in how to match socking (in chinese)
彩色裤袜如何搭配得法

要把桃红、青莲、橄榄绿、橙黄、紫、水蓝、银色等耀眼的彩色长袜穿好看，首当其冲的是衣饰配色要得法。只有这样，彩袜才能“点靓”全身服饰。其配饰法则如下：

　　一、彩袜配裙——短裙飘飘，玉腿纤纤，最具有时尚感的是墨绿色、紫红色或由浅到深的褐色丝袜，这对善于出奇制胜的年轻白领，可谓恰到好处；中年白领的裙装，游弋于冷色系彩袜中更显庄重；铁灰色、深紫色、森林绿色彩袜稳重得体，适合成熟女性穿着。

　　二、丝袜色调——应与上衣颜色相呼应。比如裙装、上衣与丝袜的搭配，丝袜是冷色，如果保守点，裙装和上衣可以是相近冷色；如果奔放些，裙装可以是暖色，但上衣必须是冷色的微对比色；反之亦然。只有这样才不使丝袜太扎眼。

　　三、丝袜与配饰——颜色要一致。花色特殊的袜款，要与腰带、巾饰保持同一色调，才不失为一种整体策略。

　　四、“色”到为止——全身的色彩（包括配饰）绝不超过4种。比如，铁灰色、蓝灰色彩袜是灰裙的“最佳伴偶”；选用与服饰一色的彩色丝袜，是最简单、且不易出错的好办法；黑色袜有些特别，可配饰任何色系的服装。黑色裙与黑色袜色度要“亮”一些，黑中泛蓝、泛光，可使黑色袜变得更为明媚。

Pirate preparation

Friend: When are you having your Chirstmas Party?
Me: End of November
Friend: What, so fast are? The not even every shopping mall finish their chirtsmas decoration, you all already Chirstmas Party?

Well, my current company are mostly britian and they celebrate it earlier as they need to go back to their hometown, which is UK at mid of december. So december is a holiday month here. All people are in holiday mood starting from early November.

This year theme is pirates of the Caribbean. Such an hard theme compare to last year where is just something on your head. What am I going to wear, thats the big issue.
Pirates of the Caribbean lady dress are more on olden days dress where it is hard to find here. When I search from the internet. I see it's imposible to find this kind of dress in Malaysia.


Actually I love this one, looks cool, isn't it?


This look like hot sexy dress to seduce guys? Not suitable at all.


My collegue rented the costume from Costumes 'N' Parties at City Square at Jalan Tun Razak(Near Ampany Park LRT station) where they have 3 days rental of different types of costume. I saw this is very nice Royal Lady Pirate Costume.



Rental is RM90 including the hat. That's quite expensive. Just wear for 4 hours cost that much. But the bad thing is I totally cannot fit into the dress. Its too loose for me. But the dress is quite nice. Just its not fitting and doesn't look good on me.

This is how I look:


No choice. Need to think of my own.

Borrow a nice funky skull pirate belt from my housemate. Looks cool right. I have a plan on my mine how to dress up. Just that I don't know it will look good or not on that day.



I know those Mat salleh will be very serious in dressing up, my manager even went to tailor made the dress. Crazy right. But still have the locals to backup as not all will be dressing up so grand. As our chirtmas party is at the afternoon - lunch time, don't be surpise if u see a bunch of pirates walking at the street and inside the cars.(the way from office to the pub restorans)

Donuts and Pie day

Free lunch today. Chocolate donuts from dunkin donuts at the morning at around 11am (consider lunch already. Dunkin donuts are quite nice actual, but compare to outside, its much more expensive, but yet tasty with the extra topping on top. And there have a lot of choice. Didn't manage to snap a picture on the donuts, next time then.






Later boss treat us Pies. I choose pepper steak pie from king pie office ~~ Hurray. The pies are nice, hot and the pie surface is nice~ They ordered 3 taste, mushroom chickhen, pepper steak, and cheese spinish. Mushroom chickhen is just so-so. I eat before thats why I know. Spinish cheese sounds weird. So at the end choose pepper steak. But I miss the pie they order at the Australia day last year, if I'm not mistaken.

Victor Love Song 品冠

Kinda fall in love with his this song "Just When I Needed You Most" (我最需要妳的這一刻) when I first listen at "Ladies First Marrige Show" (女人我最大) last week. He sang so sweet, with his soft and smooth voice, melts everyone's heart. Not bad for a chinese singer to sing english love songs.

Here is the video clip for Just When I Needed You Most" (我最需要妳的這一刻)


I also love this 2 songs from his latest album "Need U Most" (最需要你)

Way back into Love(回到愛) he sung with Fish Leong (梁静茹), soft and nice :)

Xmas mood ~~

Boss seems like xmas mood already, starting to treat us food to eat. This huge muffin is from Starbucks, its bigger then the normal one stuff with chocolate chips. I thought it will be a small easy to finish one, but you know ended up finishing it in a full stomach. Nice ~

Pass few days, boss just treat us donuts, but he just brought a few and ended up not every one got 1, I was lucky as I got the blueberry donut which is nice~~ So I guess boss brought another time to treat the whole office.

I tried mango madness today~~ yummy. The yellow color is mine and the rest is my collegues one.

Ribbon swaps

Last month, I have join the ribbon's swap which we exchange ribbons, the above 2 pictures are what I sent to my partners and the below 2 are those I receive from.

The top 2 is what I sent to them, I wrap them with kawaii deco tapes as they look neat and put them into nice plastic bags. I personaly like the packaging.

I love the bottom left because she give me a merry xmas ribbon which I cannot find from Malaysia. Cool isn't it. I plan to use that in my crafts and xmas cards for this holiday seasson. From the bottom right side, she just sent me a bunch of ribbons, but its some how good that I have more colors of ribbon to play off rather then buying new ribbons.

Bak kut teh @ Puchong

Once I saw a friend introducing a famous Bak kut teh aka pork bone soup, at Puchong. But the Bak kut teh still ok, can eat, She claim that is is better the Kepong's, but nothing so special. Ended up we when I look back to her blog, I just know we when to the wrong shop.

The waiters say the top left hand side is the most famous of the shop, it was a clearer, lighter version of the Klang Bak kut teh. The below on is like the Klang type Bak kut teh and the 3rd dish was salty vegetable. I like the Klang type soup because they give us alot of pork stomach. Yummy. The lighter version of soup doesn't really taste good. The salty vegetable to thick. I just love the soup/sauce of the salty vegetable but they give too much vegetable and too little soup.



I was hungry and I eat alot~~ Total cost for 2 bowls of Bak kut teh, 1 bowl of salty vegetable, 2 100 Plus, 1 rice is about RM34. Abit too expensive~~ Usually 2 person eat will be around RM20++.

Just an experience. Hope I got the correct shop next time I visit Puchong
