Chapter 16: 1st in 2015...

It seems like forever.

I have been pretty occupied with work since October and haven't actually find proper time for others things.

Finally found some time to do some documenting of my daily life.

So here is a brief of my little Genting trip earlier this year.

Just at the start of year 2015, I have gotten an upgrade in my phone. So byebye iPhone 4.


Thank you iPhone 4 for all the joy and love you have given me this 4 years of service. I say hello to my new pretty that hopefully would serve me another good 4-5 years. Don't let me down okay! :>


Began the year with a short getaway to Genting.

Day 1


With the trusty and comfy coach we reached comfortably at Genting in a blink.

We have gotten free rooms with the courtesy to the points rewards of our parents. With Lady's Luck shining on us, we gotten rooms from the newly revamped floor.












 Yes everything looks so new and bright. Great start of our trip. :)



I am totally famished after the approximate 6 hours journey, and totally appreciated my first meal upon arrival. Noms!


 Evidently happy but tired faces after our meal!



 Starting to roam around after meal.


 Ignore my static hair.


 Group one!

and with my Dad.

and yes how could I miss the chance to take OOTD when I am there right.

Dinner was great; food were super awesome definitely.

Day 2 

Freshen up the next day and decided to do something old-school. 

CABLE CAR RIDING!

When we are about to board. Haha.

 Some selfies when we are within the ride. Natural lighting without any edits!

We went down for some minor snack shopping at mid hill, before heading back up for more food and fun.

My outfit for day 2.

 Yup there was a mini museum about the movie "Night at the Museum"!

 Also did some minor shopping before we head to the casinos!

Spotted a new terminal like cafe coming your way in mid 2015!

Before the Sun sets~

Day 3;

 Last meal before we set off.

Final day outfit~

Shortly after meal we checked out and before heading to the coach bay, some Popsicle time!  

It is indeed yummy!

While waiting to board, I definitely spam some more photos with my new gadget!

Started my year with a short but relaxing trip! Can't wait to be back soon. :)

Chapter 9: Eco x Danetelle

Just a few Saturdays back. When I decide to have some time at home since from my urban life, did so minor tidying at home. Was packing some clothes that have been serving me for at least 7-8 years, and thought they should retired since they are pretty worn by now.

Then it struck me that perhaps I could make good use with some parts of the fabric from some clothing on a dress I ruined quite recently.

( Picture with courtesy from Lara'J )

This was how the dress was supposed to look like. I have never had such strong liking for a dress, from the material to it simple yet classy cutting and yet I didn't have a chance to wear it; its gone. :<

Surprisingly I went straight ahead with my idea, without much hesitation.

Firstly I took out the dress I ruined, significantly obvious that it is due to the overheated iron despite at its lowest heat. Probably its time to change it. Of course felt very heart-broken because its in my favourite shade of blue, plus it didn't made it for any maiden experience for wearing it out yet. Still decide to keep it though it could not be worn out solely like this due to the gigantic iron-marked kissed on the center of the dress.

Then I chose a floral top that has been around since I am in my Secondary days. I didn't want to keep because the back of the top is full of bobbles, thus making it a little uncomfortable when you are wearing it.

And then the tresses begin. Teeheex. Did some brain storming how to make this dress look wearable and manageable to do even when I am a noob at sewing. Finally came to a conclusion to make it look like a "fake 2-piece", with the white floral top shape like a tube I am wearing over the dress.

Cut out the excess unwanted area of the floral top.

Estimate the approximate position of how I want the it to be and used bob pins to fixed and stablised the position, to ease sewing.

Sewing begins. ^^ 

Was pretty happy to see this colours combination because Blue x White x Pink are not just always my favourite colours, they are my favourite colour combinations. Pretty sure that it is going to turn out what I expected it to be. :D

Was trying to be as accurate and careful with the threads and needles, it ain't an easy job to get them in the position you wanted.

After a good whole 7 hours this is the end product.

Looks much more wearable now. *Proud moment*

Wore the dress out the other day. Though I understand I didn't do a perfect job but I think I did my best, so I was pretty confident when I wore it out. Took quite several pictures of course. 

the Forth of the dress. 

Some side view of the dress.

Whee. Twirling and twirling. Kekex.

Special thanks to Unnie A for helping me with the photos that day. She knows that I would like to post some good pictures of the outcome of the end product I did and gave me all the patience she have that day. :D

Am a happy girl after I manage to turn 2 apparels that I wouldn't wear to something I would now.

Happy thoughts can be so simple, and cost efficient. Hahax.

Alright, the upcoming post would be a collaboration with an overseas online webstore on accessories. Stay tuned...

Signing off,
