Sunday and Something About Urbanscapes

Thanks to Nuffnang and Tigerbeer,

I went to Urbanscapes for the first time.

This post isn't really focused on Urbanscapes, so sorry if you came for that. =p

Hi!

We arrived there around 4.30pm, and the weather was perfect.

Not too sunny, with wind!

First time I walked in the fields of UPM, and it's beautiful.

LOOK AT THIS!

Now, look at me!

And look at us!

Took quite a few pictures, but this one,

this one that doesn't show much is my favourite. 

The fields were so nice a lot of people were just sitting and lying on the grass.

Perfect place for a Bollywood style shoot. 

*roll roll roll*

There was a photography contest exhibition. 

Sho colourful!

Since we were waiting for some of the acts,

we sat on the grass for quite a long time.

A very long time.

Actorlympics was definitely worth the time and itch from sitting on the grass.

They had a few different segments,

and all of them had us literally on the floor, laughing. 

Because... we were sitting on the floor.

Another way of taking pictures. LOL

We walked around and shopped at the stalls,
and walked into this place once.
It's a stage/ beer station.
When we got to the stage, the band that was playing was playing their final song.
It was good, but they never told us who they are.
#imnothipsterenoughtoknowthem

Two Door Cinema Club didn't show up,
so the stage was empty for awhile.
There were still a group of people standing in front of the stage as if they were there though.
Songs were playing.

Aaaand finally,
Fraz Ferdinand.

They worked the crowd.

Great sing-along to a few songs!!

Seriously,

Urbanscapes was like a 2 day build-up for the Franz Ferdinand concert.

The crowd was massive.

We were standing quite near the stage,

and the best way to describe it is that

if they asked us to do a wave,

it would be one really beautiful human wave.

It was a great experience,

and I can't remember the last time I spent a few hours just sitting on the grass,

doing nothing.

Time well spent. =P

Again,

so much thanks to Tigerbeer Malaysia and Nuffnang.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

What to do?! [adv]

October is graduation month in UM. I've had friends who are graduating soon or just graduated asking me what they can do for a career. As a Language and Linguistic student, there isn't too wide a range of career we can venture into, so everyone is panicking.

*pulls hair*

On one hand, I'm glad that my friends are actually planning to find a job, or are actively looking for a job; on the other hand, I have no idea how to answer that question. Since I'm not really working in the same industry, I can only give suggestions and not testimony. Even the suggestions are limited, since only 2 of the seniors I know went back to the "French root".

Honestly, there are a lot of career fairs out there that are meant to help students or newly unemployed people *cough*,

and one of them is Sector Focused Career Fair or SFCF by TalentCorp Malaysia. 

SFCF UiTM was supported by more than 30 companies including some big names like DHL, Electrolux, IBM, Sime Darby and PwC. 

It was held last weekend in UiTM, Shah Alam. Since last week was their convocation week, it was logical that the Sector Focused Career Fair  happened on the same weekend. 

There was more than 4,000 turnouts that day.

 There were career talks by professionals from priority sectors, career booths, dialogue sessions where attendees get to voice out their curiosity, and other helpful activities to help university graduates better build a career plan on the shared servicing sector. 

Since it's sector focused, it's easier for those who attended find out what sector they can venture into which is relevant to their respective fields of study. No more panicking because of job issues.

If you're not sure what to do after graduating, here's their Facebook page,

and follow the hashtag trail for all the info you need. 

They will be going to different universities so don't miss out!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

My Online Dayre

I don't usually update my blog with gadget/ app entries, 

but when I do, 

it's because I adore it. 

A lot.

If you haven't know yet, there's an app called Dayre.

(Pronounced Day-ree)

To me, it's an online diary.

If you're saying "Why do I need this? I already have a blog."

Well, a blog is more of an after event update platform.

"Dayre, is an on-the-spot update for daily events."

*pretending this is Dayre*

You can either choose to update on past events, like how you update your blog, or you can update Dayre when something is actually happening.

There are 5 ways you can update it, as seen on the picture above.

You can write sentences (which can also appear as quote), 

update with picture and caption, 

upload a video, 

update with cute emoticon/"stickers",

 and for those who want people to know where they are at all times, there's the check-in.

I prefer updating Dayre more than my blog because, when you become lazy, Dayre is the convenient way out. 

Since the layout is the same for everyone, no more wasting spending time customising. Pure updates! 

It's an answered prayer of people with no talent with designing.

You can make several different short updates per day, 

and all your updates will be shown under the same day, hence, a "diary".

Absolutely love it.

I update it more than Instagram,

because I don't like to post pictures of words on Instagram.

And if you have a "eureka!!!" moment,

instead of the 140 characters on Twitter,

updating it on Dayre would be easier,

since it allows 500 characters.

I hate rephrasing my sentences 324643792649 times just so that I don't have to split my tweet.

I share pictures and thoughts mostly.

The app does get a little PMS-y sometimes, and you have to logout and login again for it to update properly,

but it's not that bad.

On a separate note,

And thanks to Tiger Beer and Nuffnang,

I'm going to Urbanscapes!!

FYI, Urbanscapes is an event/ festival where all forms of art jam together and come alive.

Food, music, fashion, humour, beautiful people, all in one place. 

:3

Weekend passes are priced at RM247 which gives you access to The Big Weekend.

If you're worried about transport, 

there are SkyBuses going to MAEPS from KL Central with a fee of RM20 one way, starting from 1.30pm,

and from MAEPS to KL Central starting from 11pm.

I'm really excited to see Red Hong Yi, the absolutely talented artist there.

(maybe nick a few bites off her art work *cough*)

Franz Ferdinand will be the final act to wrap up the entire (already beautiful) weekend!

Check the Urbanscapes website if you need more info!

Follow my Dayre or Instagram for more (live) updates!

I'm going both days!

If you see someone that kinda looks like the person in pictures on this blog, 

but with a "slightly" rounder face, 

it might be me.

don't say hi because I'll look stuck-up and unfriendly so no point.

*runs away*

#makeurbanscapeepic!

Better sleep early tonight, because

EPIC WEEKEND COMING THROUGH!!

That Mid-November Weekend

To me, weekends start at 6.30pm every Friday.

Hi.

My eye make up.

Finally meeting up with Cocoro after a very long time.

I didn't realize that the last time we met was 1 year ago.

And of course can't miss out catching up with my bitch, Jason. 

The thing about good friends is that you can still talk non-stop no matter how long you've been apart.

Makes me miss my uni life so much more.

We went to Zanmai for dinner

and moved over to Tong Pak Fu for dessert.

OOTD pic taken by Cocoro.

Aspiring photographer(?)

I was her "model" once, and once again.

Top from BKK

Maxi skirt from H&M

Wedges from Vincci

Studded bag from Deeper and Harder 1U.

Early Saturday morning,

Jackie, Ken and I left for Penang.

The both of them were going there for the Penang Bridge Run,

and I just hitched a ride home lol.

Went to three places in Ipoh old town for breakfast.

First stop was the coffee shop Sin Yoon Loong where we get legit Ipoh Old Town White Coffee.

The siew yok had really crispy but the meat was quite juicy.

That small portion costs RM5 though.

Second stop we went to a coffee shop called Thean Chun that's famous for their egg custard (and hor fun).

Egg by itself is great to me,

but I don't like food with egg as the main ingredient.

It's too sweet and to me,

the taste of egg and the honey don't blend together.

I could taste them distinctly separated.

It doesn't look smooth, but it does melt in your mouth.

Third stop was at a shop called "Funny Mountain"

Seemed really popular since there was a "drive-thru" queue.

Mainly for people who are too lazy to get out of the car.

The tau fu fah was really soft yet it doesn't fall apart as easy as the other tau fu fah.

The taste was just ok. Not phenomenal.

The studded bag which I had for almost 1 year finally fell apart.

You were a great accessory and a great black hole to dump my stuff in.

You will be missed. 

*2 seconds of silence please*

Thank you.

Found chocolate jackpot at home yay.

Went out with my sisters on Sunday afternoon.

We went to Yes Yogurt next to Library on Jalan Raja Uda.

The shop's concept is exactly like Tutti Fruitti minus gummy bears. BOOOO.

Yes, these are sisters.

OOTD pic taken by my younger sister.

Check out her photography skills in this post.

Top from H&M

Shorts from ROMP

Sneakers from Converse

Necklace from Forever 21

Didn't get to get laksa until 30minutes before Ken and Jackie picked me up to go back to KL.

The hawker came down the road on his bike and my dad bought it for me.

*tears of joy*

For more (and sooner) updates, follow me on dayre.me/sherlynnt

It's a mash up of Twitter, blog and Instagram.

It's great for life updates since if you read my blog,

you'll notice I don't update that often anymore.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

One post to cover them all- October

New beanie!! 

It's the time again!! 

Only when I write monthly posts I feel that time flies.

Events in this post are not in chronological order.

The first major event in October was when Tiesto came by on Oct 5.

The crowd was crazy.

This is just one fraction of the full crowd.

There were a lot of people outside, at the entrance for ticket check and inside, in front of the stage.

I'm not a big fan of rave, but I love it. 

Entering was really chaotic though.

Like I said, there was a huge crowd, and crowd control was not working at the entrance.

We didn't know where to go.

There was a sign that said males to one side and females on the other because there was supposed to be body checking (for drugs and drinks),

then the VIP is supposed to be separated,

but in the end everyone was jumbled together.

Tiesto made everything right in the end so no worries. LOL.

Continuing on the music theme,

we were invited to the Converse #GETLOUD "battle of the bands" finale.

I like this pic because it's blurry. :3

There were a few metal bands and a few rock bands.

The inside of Laundry Bar was quite crowded, making the mosh pit possible.

First time I went to a concert with crowd surfing.

Too much coolness.

The winner of the contest, the metal band Sepatu walked away with a RM15,000 prize and converse products.

So much win!!!

Next, there's the "beauty" part,

or the lack of.

I went to an event organized by Mivva Beauty Box.

The event is about aesthetics, aka "minor cosmetic procedures" aka "I did something to my face, but you can't really tell, and I didn't go under the knife".

 The doctor drmonstrated what a little injection goes a long way.

Left pic is before and right pic is after the injection to the bridge of the nose.

It was a live demonstration. It only took about 15 minutes.

The girl said it didn't hurt, and there were no red marks. 

A naturally straighter nose and higher bridge in 15 minutes.

After the event there was a free consultation.

 This is how much it would cost for me to look prettier.

Doctor is quite cute lor. *cough cough*

After the event, not only do I feel ugly, I feel poor too.

The only way I can feel better is by saying:

I'm happy with the way I look.

LOL.

I have 10xRM200 vouchers for MCU Clinic in Sunway Pyramid to give away!!

If you're interested, leave a comment stating that you'd like one voucher and leave your email address.

Like the Facebook page for this blog too please.

Next, still about the lack of beauty.

I bought 

From Sephora in Star Hill Gallery and with every purchase of a Benefit product, we were entitled to a *free brow waxing.

I have uneven brows and I thought the "professional" would help me correct it.

This was the result.

Absolutely terrible. 

The worst part is the promoter kept trying to persuade me to go for another session.

Bitch please, if this is what you give me, why should I go back?

It costs RM42 mind you.

RM42 for uneven brows?

I can do better.

But things get better.

My fringe is now long enough to cover my eyebrows,

so it's not that bad anymore.

When I don't draw my brows, they still look very ugly though.

I bought the ring above about 2 weeks ago,

and I've lost it.

I'm a champion at making things disappear. *poof*

I love that ring dammit, please come back.

T^T

Had a dinner session with my bitch, Jason at Bangsar.

Once in awhile I like to pretend atas and eat at Bangsar.

Guess where?

Next,

my make up posts.

This month I have 2 posts, so little compared to last year's Halloween inspired posts. =(

I've been really lazy.

The doll

The dolly ghost.

And, to wrap up the month of October,

here's a pic of my newly bought white basic top from the newly opened H&M of 1U

before it was hit by the curse of white T-Shirts.

It now has 2 streaks of yellowish line and a few yellow dots on it.

I assume from the honey of the Lemon Meringue Pie. =(
