Dear diary,

it’s a rainy saturday night, best to chill-out in my pink parlor. feelin’ warm & comfy.

Here are some snap-shots of my room’s wall:

  • I got this from The Curve’s flea market. it’s actually a christmas card, but i thought it looks nicer on the walls:

  • framed these vintage posters i got from jonker and hang it on the wall. vintage stuff is my new favourite! irrestibly elegant vintage ads:
  • to those who visited my froom before, u know i got a tall white-shelf…that i used to store my books and junk.
on one side, it looks like this:

“Things to Remember” poster. absolutely love the meaningful quotes on it!

on the other side of my shelf:

i ‘grabbed’ this from McD’s ceiling – some time ago when they were promoting Surf’s Up. haha. McD’s grief to have me.
  • in my cluttered dressing cubicle, I love to post-up beauty cut-outs from magazines and stuff:
  • for those hungry days:
McD and Domino’s Delivery Menu. for those days when I’m too lazy to move, it happens always. lol.
  • ohh.. this last one, it’s not on the wall. but a tiny interesting card i got from my classmates’ advertising campaign.
i stuck it in the gap of my lappie’s keyboard and thinks it looks cute sitting there.

so, what say you ? try decorating your walls too! it’s fun!

Dear diary,

Tomorrow:

I’m filled with anxiety – i can’t work under pressure.

i’m emotionally down. you must be asking ‘why’. but, i really have no idea how to recite my pathetic tale to you. i can’t find a proper structure such as a dramatic beginning or a happy ending; there are only pieces of conflicts scattered all-over. that’s why i can never share, i can never find comfort from people around.

There’s no resolution, or say, i simply can’t think of one. i’m really confused…should i or should i not?! it’s haunting me, very much. I just want to get rid of the imbalance inequalities inside me but memories don’t just disappear when you want them to. don’t guess about anything – it’s just my monologue.

Restructuring my schedule for the hectic months ahead, thus this ‘wall-art‘ i’m gonna call it. Made of post-its…i want it to be the 1st thing i see every morning.

I want to manage my time (nicely). I gotta make sure sufficient time is allocated for each priorities.

i’m worry about a lot of things – outstanding tasks, piano exam etc etc. the anxiety is bringing me no-where. i hope my anxieties would diminish through proper planning and self-discipline.

Chillin’ out


Posted on April 12th, 2008 @ 11:43 am

Dear diary,

I felt better already (regarding my gloomy previous posts) – it’s just some personal problems bringing me no-where. Hence, I choose to get no-where since it’s getting me no-where. I feel better if I don’t treat it as a problem – and my life will be problem-less.

Sorry to make you guys worry & sincerely thanks to all concern from friends! (even if it’s just a comment; it means a lot while I read it)

It’s a Saturday morning!!! I woke up quite early this morning…like around 9am (consider early for a weekend morning k?)

First thing first, I did the laundry…my parents were having their holiday in Egypt. On their departure the day b4 yesterday, I felt extremely lonely and miss them loads.

Gradually, I began to enjoy my independence. It feels good to live a zesty life – doing the household chores; waking up without having to be called; having my own breakfast etc It just feels quite good! Courtesy to my feel good room:

Chillin’ out in my pink parlor

Yesterday was our outdoor PSC (shooting) in Sunway Lagoon…it is not very smooth compared to the previous shooting days. Everyone is so hot; so stuck-up and kept putting blame on others. Therefore, I don’t really get a good treatment despite my effort. However, I’ve learned the art of ignorance. I basically don’t wanna care about anything (especially the harsh treatment); as long as I get my job done and do what I suppose to do.

On the spot, I’m probably a bit frustrated (bcoz I’m a human and I’ve emotions) but I totally don’t think it’s a big fuss anymore (not gonna cry over it or what-so-ever) because it is simply not-worth-it. I rather use up my precious time to chill out in my room and get some rest (since I’m energy-zero). That’s probably how the world function – it is cruel. Defeat it and in exchange, you’ll have a life of your own -the way you like it to be.

During my break last Monday, I went shopping @Pavilion with my dear girl-friend Kire…and let’s see what I’ve got for myself.

my new pair of latin heels
Laura Mercier Primer & Tinted Moisturizer

Today’s mission – save my plant:

Stay tuned – let’s see can it be saved after a week or two…

My Pink Parlor (Part I)


Posted on November 5th, 2007 @ 9:18 pm

Dear diary,

This post will be about my Pink Parlor which I always wanted to talk about but I never did until now.

To have a room of your own is a very blissful thing indeed! It’s one of the happiest thing that ever happened to me in my life.

On October 2006, my room undergone the biggest make-over ever, totally directed, designed and conducted by myself.

I repaint my room into pink (the sweetest colour ever) and I bought a set of new furniture – all in white (including a bed, 2 shelves and a table). The process is definitely not as enjoyable as you think but the outcome marks the peak of this whole experience. It feels so good to be in a brand new room with your favourite theme and your own selection of furniture.

I need to thank my mom of course for supporting me so much throughout the project. She’s considerate, helpful and motivating. She feels that I need the makeover because things are being bad at that point of my life. Therefore, she give me a push and here I am, in my lovely room.

Thanks mom! I love you! MUacks!

Some people might not see a ‘room’ as important as I do. To me, a room of your own has to be cozy, beautiful, tasteful, full with things that you love … or at least, not ugly. It’s the private space that you can chill out in – that you do stuff such as:
reading a book on a weekend morning
;
or applying a mask on a hot Sunday afternoon;
or cry out loud whenever you need to;
or dressing up for a date;
or makes studying a fun experience simply because you are studying in a nicely decorated environment.

“All of these matters very much to me – more than you can imagine…”

Nobody made me adopted this weird ‘hobby’; i’m not influenced by any media; I think it’s in my roots. I remember myself sketching my own dream room on a piece of paper when I was as young as 12 years old.

And finally the piece of paper can be executed with a budget control before I turn 20.

New Lavenders to add on the tranquility of the whole set.

New Lightings for the dressing area.

Pink Mirror – a gift from a close friend a couple of years ago.
