Ya Allah...I cannot stop crying.

Classmate Reunion

It was such a nice feeling to have dinner again with my previous classmates. Initiated by Full Seng and Lucas, finally we managed to meet up after a looooooong time not seeing each other....the only sad thing was that not many people were able to come (including Sharjeel) huhuhu.....Anyways I had an awesome night. It’s very enjoyable that we can just chat about random stuffs and laugh all night long. Sigh..i really miss classes. Anyway, we’re planning to gather again next Tuesday…see ya, guys!!!

Made in India

Today I went hunting for stuffs in an Indian market together with my mom...my mom went crazy buying saree textiles, and I was like...okay...what should I buy...I looked around for a while, and was very happy when I finally spotted some accessories which were simply adorable. Simply put, I got a set of neon pink bangles, and also these scarves...


Wooohooooooooo!! Trust me, these items were very very cheap...muahahha...:D

A.P.C Gold Lace Dress

Embraced by Braces

Braces are supposedly for men, and kids. But nowadays..who cares about those old-days perception? I think they look very cute on women, and I’m planning to wear it someday along with a bow tie hueehehhehe….Anyways, inspired by Intan, I finally settled on to buy myself one from Topman… yaaaayyyy….:)

I initially wanted to go for black just like Intan’s here…

But after seeing the variety of options they have…I finally opted for this one:

I was so excited to wear mine, so here I am sporting my new braces huehehhehehe…..

(Fyi, Topshop and Topman are now on their mid season sale, and it’s really exciting cuz their giving big discounts…my braces were RM6319... yeehaaaaaa!!)

I am Jakarta

I’m sensing that I’ll be losing weight again in the upcoming days…I’m so...stressed. Taking up a challenge over your parents is really really tough. Having different wants is already nerve-racking, now proving that I can realize my wants is extremely terrifying me. Sigh….I’m losing my appetite…If you see cars going here and there in Jakarta…you’ll say, Jakarta is so hectic. Well that’s how I feel…hectic…the thoughts in mind are just sparking off to all directions…blah blah blah…

Fun, Bright and Loud

Woah...these items are maaaad....

Check out Nike's Vandal Collection....

Decorated Phone

Feeling bored of my plain unmodified cellphone…today I decided to buy some stickers to apply onto my phone…I reckon that it looks too girly or bizarre or whatever, but what the heck…I’m now in love with my new decorated phone huehehheh..it’s only the back part though as the front part doesn’t have any space to put some stickers on....

These are the stickers I bought...

And this is my phone after decorated...

So now this is how it looks when I’m on the phone hihihihi…

Job Hunter

Okay....here are some updates on my current job… which is....job seeking…huehehe.....

For the past 2 days, I’ve sent my resumes to 9 companies located in both Singapore or Indonesia (Malaysia is kicked out for the mean time heheh). The companies are…Citibank, McKinsey, Accenture, Recruit Express, The Advertiser, Today’s Career, Search Asia, CT HR Consultants, and lastly, my (sort of) top priority for the Indonesia option, PT. Mitra Adi Perkasa heheueh….it’s so tiring to park yourself all day long browsing and browsing looking at job openings…I know I know, this is how real life is…but wouldn’t it be nice… if someone just pops in front of you and say…Hi, I have a job for you....hihihihi....sigh...I hope I’ll get a job soon so I can lessen my parents’ worries and start paying them in return....insya Allah.....please pray for me everyone....:)

Goodbye shopping (I’m kidding for this one) and welcome job hunting....like Intan said…GANBATE!! (Intan, what does this mean?)

Btw, Sharjeel bought me this cute heart balloon...hihih...happy...:)

Killer Add-Ons

Not only built by wearing shocking color or extreme shape of pieces...killer looks can be achieved by just adding on elements which basically looks...basic...but actually accentuates the outlook into something special...

Deep Breaths

After having 2 weeks of vacation in my hometown, Jakarta, I'm now back in my second home, KL. It's been a wonderful time seeing my friends and relatives in Indonesia, even though I sadly didn't have the time to meet all of my loved ones.


Deep apologies to Arie, Mas Mada, Yulie, Tyaz and others that I'd promised to visit but didn't have the time to actually do so...My uncle was also in a bad condition when I was there, gone through 2 times of surgery and is still weak till now..My prayers for you from here my dear uncle...hope you get well soon....:)

*Deep breath*
Right now, I'm having some nervous breakdowns...gotta apply for jobs, in which my first preferred location will be Singapore, then Malaysia. If after all the hardwork I still don't get a job in one of those countries..well...what can I say, I'll be looking for one back in Jakarta.

I'm so scaaaaaaaaarrrrred....scared of not getting a job...scared of not being close to Sharjeel's working location....hhmmm...
*tears*
