Chirstmas decoration @ Queensbay Mall 2007

I love xmas decorations, I manage to snap some from Queensbay Mall, Penang when I was back at the weekend. Seems like they haven't really start to decorate the mall with xmas decoration. I only see this on the middle hall only.



And some bits of small chirtmas tree around the mall ~ compare to KLCC decoration or Time Square one.


KL seems like all malls are decorated with xmas tree, why Penang seems to be that slow? Or is this the decoration for the mall??

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.

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~~

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)
