hello blog.
i'm still in this safe santuary for pandas. where the feed, groom and really, just care for the pandas so so much. they welcome bunnies here too you see. well, just me in this case haha. i must say i feel most comfortable, and really, just, zen happy here. i don't have the slightest worry / fear despite it not being my own home per se.
i like how simple and minimalist things are here. and of course it helps that it's so clean and clutter free as well. it's amazing how one's taste undergoes this evolution with time. as for my style for living spaces now, it's really no longer the boho chic.... lol even before i get to realize the concept. i'm sooooooooo into this minimalist-contemporary idea, with clean long lines and neutral colors. imagine, low long benches for tv and books, high horizontal counter tops and high stools for work, dining, prepping food and socializing - all in white / grey / brown. how about that? throw in some phantom chairs and good quality thick curtains. :)) as for bedrooms - it's darker shares - and low low beds. platforms and mattress and of course, bedside switches is a must!
and i recently discovered how important lightings are for id! it'll all be indirect lightings for my abode. except for reading. wah. syok. and then i found out how it is really possible to really be inspired from hotel interiors for your very own house. imagine things to be so clean, simple and yet classy to go home to. not bad at all.
also, intelligent storage space is very important too. i'm thinking of smart cupboards - for shoes, to books, to all the house tools / clutters, to clothes. having space is just not enough, having clever storage system is the key. (since i'm such a hogger - which i'm trying not to accumulate more stuffs. yes yes yes)
these days, the thought of buying shoes and bags freaks the hell out of me. i've been 'clean' since...... the early days since i started work. as far as i rmbr, the last pairs were those jelly shoes - which i haven't really worn since they cut :( so much for being jelly. i think the very thought of my stuffed to the brim closet is enough to keep me away from them for a while. of course it 'helps' that the seal that i share the room with, has even much more stuff, and 10x more 'clutterish' than i am! really, i can't wait to have my own space. imagine having your own place to do all the designing - thinking how we could utilize the spaces. awesome. (inner syok-sendiri int designer comes out to play)
having said that, i dunno how this post was steered this direction, but how i wish i could just pick up the beautiful glass table from ikea, and start the decoration. but nah.... being the scrooge in me. i'll just make do w shyt hahahahah. until i get the real deal. sounds like someone is ready to settle down wtf.

i've been watching some ted talks about happiness. it was an eye-opener. i never knew that given the choices, we'd actually be less happy! that explains.. a lot. especially for some as fickled minded like me. though i tryyyy to practise good sense and take swift decisions... but i'm still a terrible terrible decision maker. i can never make a decision (and stick to it) for a million years, if given the time. le sigh. but now after being 'enlightened' probably decisions don't make such a big impact after all. it's how we put ourselves together and move on from the decision that really matters. like they say....really.. happiness is just a matter of what we make of it. it's all in our heads. certainly not in what we possess or not. or where we are. perhaps in retrospect, it might just put us in a laissez-faire condition, but it's good to stop in this marathon of our life and just really, just take a minute, and look around. what the hell are we chasing after? more money? more stuffs? a bigger car? a nicer house? hah. talking like this makes me sound like a buddhist monk. i do crave for the finer things in life. but what i want is a simple comfortable life. and i think i can achieve that. but not without a few good years in this rat race. and then we can have some options in life.
i read today in the indian restaurant, that one can't have a positive life with a negative mind. it is true though. i shall start peeling off negative thoughts and stop the stream. and also, these days especially, to stop yakking without thinking first. in fact, i could do good with less talking. *serious face*

just the other day, i was itching for a long-awaited hnm trip - was hoping to to get some dresses / shorts / some nice stuffs that wld catch my eyes but no.............. nothing. nada. zilch. i was disappointed and went in another time before i left, but still nothing. i don't know - if it's me who has changed taste or the current fashion items just don't agree with me anymore. i'm just looking for something - simple, not loud, humble, not too short, everyday casual w a tinge of grown up w a sensible price! and something more loud and fun and short for the weekend when i feel and would like to taste the freedom of youth (still). the best part of hnm is the way they teaseeeeeee. they'll have all these gorgeous stuffs w the best prices on their website and you can't find shyt when you're in their biggest store. *geramz*

on another unrelated note, did i mention/rant about modern parenting already? pfffffffffffffffffffffft i dont even want to hear myself start.
//
so i shall digress... towards le panda's who's graduating soon! i'm having some trouble thinking of what to get for his as a graduation gift! some suggested pens, watches... all of which i think is out of reach for me for now unless i rob a bank or something..... and then i was thinking of something smaller. perhaps a bow tie lol but a good one i defend my stand ok. okay i'm a cheapskate girlfriend fml. but in my defense, i did my (big) part in subsidising his amsterdam trip ok. was thinking money is money well spent on experiences and good times w friends, memories and stories for life! instead of just you know, stuffs. so...........
on hindsight, maybe a few good hugs and kisses is good enough. HAHAHA ok ok i kid i kidddddddddddd. why am i so cheap. *slaps self* i shall do some digging. meanwhile, when i was doing some online shopping for le panda, the guys are just. so. drool. worthy. oh god. is it the way they dress? or is it their figures? good lord. *smacks self*

meanwhile, maybe singapore short trip for one is to be postponed for le panda - so i could go city hopping w my best traveling kaki and savour singapore as the metropolis that it is - and also in time for their singapore sale *hopefully*!!! i think from what i gather, their hnm sales is like how it's supposed to be - not the measly ugly small 'discount' corners like in malaysia pfffffffft! it's a disgrace. i'm planning for - modern art museum moca, local street food of course (esply those that we don't have - mee pok? bakchor mee?), sight and architecture/building gawking, even neighbourhood walking just to look at how they live, i wish i have singapore friends who can take me for a tour for a good sense of a local's everyday life, and of course, some good old shopping la if coincided with la big singapore sale. OH OH OH i almost forgot about the SEA aquarium thingy! i wouldn't want to miss that! (and i'm sure le panda will surely layan me heeeee see i told you he's the best traveling kaki)
ok this post is too random and too long.
did i mention that i got this awesome tribal pweent dress from cotton on for rm15 yesterday? but it had to be the first day of buy one get another piece for half price yesterday.. i had to get another XXS w blue flowers for le seal as well. it's just tooooo cheap to say not to. so i ended up w rm11 for each. quality is not bad, thin enough for our weather but not see-through. genius. dahlah i was over the moon w the print and it being rm15. my god. oh shoot, having said that, hnm also had this buy one free one promotion going on - which absolutely reminded me of topshop moscow circa a few good years back. but it didn't excite me at all seeing what they had to offer. i mean come on h&m malaysia! coming from your most loyal and biggest supporter, you can do better!
ok this post has got to end.
p/s: i had tosai for breakfast this morning - wasn't digging the sour taste to it. still..... roti is still better, not to mention, more guilty feeling. gah.
see that's how i function. non-stop. just non-stop when i start talking and talking and talking. nonsense. all the way. ok i better stop stop stop stop stop. :D
