I try to fashion

First self-shot outfit of the day picture.

Top- Padini Authentic

Pants- Romp

Shoes- Summit Mall

Studded envelope clutch- Deeper & Harder/ Fourskin

Well it's not a "Wow" outfit,
but I feel like starting an OOTD thing.

Plotted my cam on a tripod and my head still turned out blurry.
The shuttle was slow.

Working in an office has its limitations when it comes to clothing,
even when we're allowed to wear casual clothes.

We started to have this no short skirts rule since January,
which is unfortunate for me
because all my skirts are short.
I don't wear maxi dresses because of my not really long legs.

First attempt on the giant bun.
If my hair was longer, the bun would be waaaaaaaaaay bigger.

I think I'm trying to make my pics look "editorial-ish" rather than to show off my outfit. =X
Like I'm more interested in photography than fashion.
But I like both, and suck at both.

I've bought my GF2 for more than half a year and I'm still constantly on auto mode.


This is probably the "swaggiest" look that I've ever put together.

And it's for Nuffnang's ProjectInsta.
Only my second attempt after about 20(?) themes.
The theme for this was Fashion Swag.
And well I think my dad's round vintage sunshades help turn my hipster mode on.

Galaxy printed sheer top from Brands Outlet.
Corset top (which I've only worn once) from a shop in Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid.
That shop (which I dun remember the name) has a range of corset tops
and other "swag" items, i.e. the Snapback. (The flat front cap.) baseball jackets

Never really been a "fashionista", but I do like to see how other people dress up.
Anyway,
I'm going to try and post as much outfit photos here. You know, if you're interested.

Or you can follow me on instagram @sherlynn_t

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

Different this year

Yay, finally another update. I don't even want to check the last time I updated. =X

Well this is about CNY. It's probably an unstated compulsory for everyone to blog about their CNY.

Took a plane back this year. The first time I took a plane back. 

I don't like it.

I hate landings in particular. 

Always hated it. 

>___________<

Friday I went to Gurney Plaze before fetching my sister from the airport.

Wanted to get a new purse from Coach,

but ended up getting 1 that's just a fraction of the price. 

The phone covers were from a pre-CNY pasar malam. 

Super cheap because that was the last night. 

grey phone cover, 

starbucks logo phone cover, 

purse, (forgotten the shop name. 6th floor Gurney Plaza)

yellow iPhone cord,

spiky bangle set from Fourskin,

Salmon and black rose earrings from a stall in Gurney Plaza.

flat studded bracelet (same place as the purse)

spiky neon bracelet from Fourskin

and sunglasses ring from Fourskin

I don't like CNY because of all the cleaning.

=/

Why does everything have to be spotless...

I actually planned to wear my red top for first day

but mom said everyone should wear dress.

And so I pulled out my maxi dress.

(Compensated by wearing red on the 9th day)

Hokkien New Year!!

Second day,

unleash the red!!!!

I love the top and can't wait to wear it,

but after a full day of wearing,

it kept growing longer and longer,

and now it's alsmost dress length. 

--______________--lll

And only had 1 lousang session,

with family + mom's youngest bro and my grandfather.

Seeing my grandfather just being old is heartache worthy. 

T^T 

Sorry ah kong, lu eh sun bo hao. 

For CNY I didn't go out with my friends until the day before coming back to Subang.

Watched all the tv programs!!

And there's this particular advert that's very annoying.

I think you can guess which one if you watched even 20 mins of tv. 

*drumroll*

*badum tsss*

Oh and I downloaded the 3 Donkey Kong games

and Super Mario Bros too. 

:3

Play all the games!!

And I bought this cute scrunchy,

I like how it matches my hair colour then.

Now my hair colour has faded into ugly blonde. --_________--lll

Had Nasi Ulam as breakfast I forgot for which day. 

With wine. hahahahaha. 

In case you can't see clearly,

the rice is blue. 

Talking about this,

I never really embraced my nyonya heritage,

but I sure love the food!!

Especially one of my aunt's Kari Kapitan. 

YUMMMEEEHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Not sure if Kari Kapitan is particularly nyonya food,

but the way she cook it,

the rempah she use is definitely nyonya style. 

And while sorting out months of mail which accumulated since the last time I went home,

I found this.

It's a picture by the child I sponsor through World Vision. 

Was very touched when I see this,

and it struck me that I should send him some colour pencils. =X

Useless sponsor I am. 

I stayed home about 50% of the time I was back in Penang,

and 25% was on visiting,

25% was stuck in traffic.

Being stuck in traffic in Butterworth is very new to me.

--___________--lll

After staying there for around 20 years,

(not counting the years when I was too young to remember)

it was never that bad.

 I love how they decorate the whole stretch of road with lanterns.

That's how Chinese Jalan Ong Yi How is. 

Not much visitations this year,
we just went to the few houses that are compulsory,
and most of the relatives are not kepoh,
so I was only asked: got boyfriend ah? once.
What do you work as? once.

*successkid.jpg*

That was how I spent my CNY in my home town.

After coming back,

it was just work work and more work. 

So nothing much to post about.

OL problem. 

Well I hope your CNY is more fun that mine.

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

p.s. Been so lazy to blog lately because there wasn't much to blog about.

I've almost stopped going to events and working life is just a giant snooze button,

so that's that. 

Will try to update more often,

but make sure you read ok?

Please?

The green haired deese

This is what I do when I have free time once in awhile. 

I play with Illustrator. 

The reason I've stopped showing my "artwork" with Illustrator recently

is that I've been rather busy at work,

and I only have Illustrator at work. 

But now I've finished one project,

I have time to spare before CNY rolls in. 

This was how it was suppose to look like,

but I saved the file in the wrong format,

so I had to redo from the last template I saved,

which is not that far away. (Luckily)

Ok la quite happy that I showed this to someone

and it was considered to be used a wallpaper. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Room for improvement I have.

And work hard I will. =)

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s. It's quite hard to be a hipster with hair colour nowadays.
Probably every colour has been tried by someone...

So many colours are used now,
black hair is actually quite hipster.
Not mainstream at all. 

Are you afraid of heights?

The weekend before the recent long weekend,

I tested out how energizer battery I was.

There was the Swedish House Mafia's One Last Tour on Friday,

Skytrex on Saturday noon till evening,

and there was We Love Asia Music Festival on Saturday and Sunday night.

Writing this post is proof that I'm qualified to be an Energizer Bunny.

Woohooooo.

The late comers gang. *cough* Except for the Nuffies who had to wait for us.

We all had problems with GPS. =X 

But then... We get to go to the course area on a pick-up. 

Illegal immigration style. 

After getting to the spot where the first batch were happily chatting and eating away already,

we had sandwiches that were provided F.O.C. Weeeeeeeeeeee.

*cheapskate mode ON*

And after the stuffing and burping, we were in for the real deal.

Introduction to the challenges and Skytrex rules and regulations.

You need gloves, which are sold for RM3 per pair.

You can also rent bottle holders from them, and lockers are provided for RM1 with a RM5 deposit.

But all of those were provided F.O.C to us again. *rubs hands*

The safety harnesses, just hanging around. *badum tsss*

The people there helped us strap them on, and we're more ready than before. Yeah baby!!

See that sign? Bring it on!!

That's just the trial part. 

We were briefed on the names of the parts,

when and how to use them,

and what to do, 

and what not to do.

And one memorably funny thing the instructor say was:

"Only one person is allowed on each obstacle. Don't say "Best friends forever" and go after your friend"

And we're off!!

First challenge after the trial climb up the small ladder,

and flying foxing to the platform in this pic above. 

 22m from the floor.

That's about 14.5 mes high.

When I first climbed up the ladder, I was like "meh"

but when I almost reached the top,

my hands start to become tired,

and my legs got a little jittery,

and if you look down...

Just don't.

And since we had to wait for people to finish the obstacles before us,

and only 3 people are allowed on each platform,

we had loads of time to chat...

and camwhore.

Perks of going with the guy with the cam. 

Ladies, are you not entertained?!

(By the way, the girl is single. *Wink wink* The guy however, is taken. Too bad girls =P)

 And I got to know a new friend. Yay. 

In fear that I might drop my phone 20m down while trying to take pictures,

I left them in the lockers,

which explains the lack of me-actually-being-a-badass-pictures.

Oh wait.

Hi Iris.

The entire challenge takes a lot of upper body strength, e.g. arm and chest muscles.

Got me thinking that I should hit the gym.

But well it's 2 weeks after that and I still haven't even see the doors of gym.

We walked on hanging horizontal pipes,

horizontal rope bridges,

tight ropes like the one Iris was demonstrating,

flying fox (which I kept calling firefox.)

and walking on nets.

And there was also

"The Tarzan"

which you know,

you swing from plank to plank like Tarzan. 

Oooooooooooioooiooooooooooooooo

Iris, Tony and I were among the 4 first to finish the Extreme Challenge.

so camwhore again. =D

We waited at the eating place, while eating, for everyone to come back to base. 

And in the end we were all certified badasses. Ok. Maybe not that badass,

but well, I'm extreme babeh!!

So, this is my question,

are you afraid of heights?

Definitely?

Well, I'm a badass.

Not sure?

Well maybe go to Skytrex in Shah Alam to test how badass you are?

Not at all?

Well good for you. Now try Skytrex's Extreme Challenge.

It's not that tough you see. Since you're surely safe with the harness,

but still,

the fear is actually not of heights, but of falling.

I had to admit that despite knowing I have my safety harness on,

there are times when I feel like I want to be home, on my bed,

in stead of just hanging around there. Literally. 

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

Rave rave rave

I have no idea how I took this pic but it turned out awesome!!

So in case you didn't know (it's all over the radio and social media),

We Love Asia Music Festival was held on the 19 & 20 January in Sepang International Circuit. 

I got passes for both days. 

This is what happens when you use your front camera at a dark place. Noob. 

The taller girl is Jennifer by the way. 

Doors opened at 5pm

and the party started before the sky was even dark.

pic from WLA fb page.

The first night was just ok. It was nice because Jennifer was there to go crazy with me. XD

We stayed in the normal zone for quite some time,

but once we went into the drinking zone, the whole mood changed.

Taio Cruz's part was nice, though he did look like he wasn't putting the least effort into singing. 

I guess his part was nice because, well there was lyrics to go crazy to,

as opposed to well just raving.

Imagine shouting "I've got a hangover wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

rather than just shaking your booty to the beat. 

The amount of beautiful people there is too damn high!!
And
the amount of boobs almost falling out of bikinis and tank tops is too damn high too!!

 The second day gang. 

The highlight of these 2 days for me would be when Redfoo of LMFAO came out. 

Well I heard Steve Aoki was awesome too, 

but I didn't stay till that late because,

well it was Sunday night.

Oh when he pulled his pants down and started to wiggle. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! *Crazy girl possessed scream*

Forgive me for not taking pictures. I was too busy fanning myself. 

(and probably discreetly wiping off the drool)

Oh, and he kept saying "Yeah baby".
Which makes people wanna repeat after him. XD
YEAH BABY!!!!
(like how Austin Power says it)

YEAH BABY!!!

I didn't squeeze all the way to the front la.
I believe I'm slightly too old to be that enthusiastic.
And I was quite tired after 3 days of rave and even half a day at Skytrex.

So... For the first time ever,

I went to a rave party and got more tickets. 

As of now, I have 15 tickets left to be kept as souvenir. 

And to fan myself when I think of Redfoo and the LMFAO party rock crew wiggling.

Can I exchange all these for 2 Future Music Festival Asia tickets? =X

That's what J_Fish has to say~

p.s. Thanks to Yat for being my driver for both days. X)

(he requested that I thank him. =X)
