~O*U*T*D*O*O*R* Photoshoot~

Had my very first (having a photographer with professional camera) outdoor photoshoot with Tzemaine & Grace at Chew Jetty. The photographers are Donovan & Boon Chuan. :D

While waiting for our turn, we helped each other to do the lighting & capture some Behind-the-Scene photos. We enjoyed the process!

After lunch, D & BC left as they had other events later that day. We girls, went 1st Avenue and transformed into "Bridesmaids". We said so because we were wearing white dresses :D

Being extravagant, we chilled out at Starbucks for coffee. >.<

Another way to make ourselves energized by having some caffeine into our body. 

Went to Lebuh Armenian for another photoshoot with my Pinkee (Sony T99).

It was almost 6pm when we reached Tzemaine's place. Had some cleanups & reviewed back our photos that we'd taken.

At about 8.30pm, we went out for dinner as we're damn hungry. We went to E-Gate's Sushi King.

It was really a lovely & memorable day for 3 of us.

Thanks for everything!

Love, Klaire ♥

~C*H*R*I*S*T*M*A*S* 2011~

It's "summer" for Malaysia's Christmas, and countdown with crowds is just not-my-type. Had my very first and last Christmas countdown 3 years back at Penang Gurney Drive & since then I hate those fake snow sprays which smells and sticky.

It's Christmas Day, I took public transport to Penang. My main purpose was not to celebrate Christmas but to have a photoshoot with Tzemaine & Grace on the next day. Really thank my uncle & aunt for fetching me from Penang jetty.

Anyway, met up with Tzemaine in the evening & my uncle dropped us at Queensbay Mall to have some shopping. It was nothing much celebration but a simple gathering & had lots of girls chatting with Tzemaine. :D


Tzemaine wanted to have pearl drink & I recommended her Chatime. It was the only pearl drink booth in Queensbay mall I had in mind. Anyway, we ordered Yogurt Lemon Juice with pearl & we LOVE it! ;)



      We had our dinner at Queens Food Market.



While waiting for my uncle to fetch us, we had some crazy & funny camwhore session.

That night, Grace came & we stayed at Tzemaine's place. We were excited about next day's photoshoot! We tried to sleep early but ended up chatting till 3am++.

It's just a normal day for us on Christmas Day, but it was awesome because I was spending my time with 2 of my besties. ;)

If there's a chance, I would like to celebrate 

my Christmas in Europe, America,or any country, with SNOW. 

Merry Christmas from both of us! :D

*W*I*N*T*E*R*S*O*L*S*TI*C*E:冬至节快乐~

Made glutinous rice balls with mom yesterday.

Didn't do spiral snakes like last year's.

Mom's tong yuen's still the  best :)
Simple yet warm. ♥

Anyway, wish you all:

Happy Winter Solstice!

冬至节快乐!  ♥

With love,

Klaire

~T*R*I*P* to Hat Yai~

Had a 2D1N trip with my grandma, uncle, aunt & 2 cousins to Hat Yai.

Kids went Swensen's to have some Ice-cream, while my aunt & I had some window shopping ;)

Kids & their Oreo Ice-cream ;)

There was a Little Santa Parade at HatYai on that day! Little Santas were distributing candies from their goodie bags! So cute! Shyuen & Hen got lots of candies from them ;D

Love their food, of course. 

Floating Market was "not available" because of the rise of water level. The stalls were moved to the ground. What a disappointing thing for the visitors who came all the way from other side of the world.

The trip was LOVELY! 

Thanks to my uncle & aunt for organizing it;)

Hope to have such short trips with you all again next time!  ♥

~F*O*O*D~

Have been served with loads of food since I got back from UK.

Grandma's dishes

Mom's dishes

The very first thing I had after I landed in Malaysia. :D

Dine out food I had when I was at Singapore with my family & relatives

Dine out at Chilly Pan Mee @ Damansara, KL

My eldest brother & sis-in-law bought me ZenQ desserts

RedBox dinner buffet with my friends.

TGI Friday with Tzemaine. 

Tea time with my aunt @ Winter Warmers. Gurney Plaza, Penang

Dine out at Nyonya Restaurant @ Gurney Plaza, Penang

Thanks for all the lovely food!! I LOVE them!

However, I gained a lot of weight since the Europe Trip.
Therefore, currently I had to cut back those fried, oily, high in carbohydrates food & unhealthy snacks away from my diet. Trying to eat healthier & lose some weights before CNY 2012.

Wanna fit my new year clothes with better-looking figure. lol

Wish me luck! ;)

~H*A*I*R*S*T*Y*L*E~

Have been 6 months I didn't have my haircut.
Just had my hair cut 2 days before & did hair straightening today.

 

Regretted that I had my fringe cut til this length.
Kinda miss my long fringe which makes me look more matured, in a good way. :)
Besides, the salon had my fringe straightened too, causes it to look so "dead"
Just wish that my fringe gets longer faster! I'm too "cute" now. >.<

~D*E*C*I*S*I*O*N~

有时候，不是自己一个人就可以决定一切。 虽然常说要为自己的梦想而奋斗和前进，但是身边的每一个人都会被你的梦想和所做的决定受影响，甚至会被受伤害。

是顾虑身边的人想法和感受重要？
还是做可以让你能感受到就一生以来的那么一点点的满足感重要呢？

是该放弃自己的梦想，而成全身边的人，让他们开心安慰？
或就算被他们否定，还是要坚持地朝自己的梦想努力，做自己喜欢的事？

每次作决定时候，我真的很压力，难受，烦恼。
我好想把两样都做好，不伤害任何人也能把事情做得好。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometime, one can't decide everything.
People said that we have to strive for our dreams, but everybody around you will be influenced by every decision & action you made, even will hurt them.

Which is important?
Care about their feelings? (Doing what they wanted you to do?)
or
Do the things that allow you to have the sense of success in a life time which are worth all the sacrifices?

Sacrifice your dreams to makes them happy?
or
Go ahead and strive for what makes you happy and do the things you are interested on, even if they disapprove?

I face pressures, I felt awful, I frustrate whenever I need to make decisions.
I wanted to do well in both, do not want to hurt anyone but still get things done perfectly.

~I*R*E*L*A*N*D: Newgrange~

It's Sunday! Off day for everyone! Sunny day, but it's still cold because of the wind. The best thing was no rain, which was great for trips! =D

Uncle brought his family & me for a short trip to Newgrange, which is located in County Meath, on the Eastern side of Ireland.

 Took a group photo with them before we left. Precious ones! =)

It was a relaxing & lovely trip with them! =)
I'm going back Malaysia in 2 weeks time.
Let's countdown! =D

~B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y: Cousin, Bing Quan~

Eddie just turned 11 today!
Happy 11th Birthday, Bing Quan!! =)

Having a small party by inviting few of his friends over for sleep over party.

His mom baked cakes & cupcakes for the birthday party.  The kids decorated the cake into a face using sprinkles and the Halloween soft candies. Isn't it cute? =D

Hope that he likes my present, which was a bag, 

where he can bring along his stuffs to his soccer trainings & matches.

Happy Birthday again to you.

Be a good boy! =)

~R*E*S*U*L*T: The Final's Final~

The result for my Degree in E-Commerce & Marketing

I'm relieved that I've passed.

Thanks God that I do not need to repeat again, I really worried that I couldn't make it.

Every time I check my exam results, I'll worry if I can pass, not get As.
When I passed, just a pass, I'll not feel well too, NEVER.

Now I'm doubting if I want to go for the graduation ceremony which will be held on February next year.
I'll be embarrassing my parents in front of our relatives and their friends.

As I don't have good result, I have to work harder in my future career.
All the best to me!

~H*A*L*L*O*W*E*E*N @ Lunar Bar~

Had myself prepared for the Halloween party at the Lunar Bar near my aunt's restaurant.

I had leopard print makeups for the party! Learnt it from watching at YouTube make-up tutorials & drew it right away! I made it & I love it!! Had my leopard print singlet, DIY leopard print headbands, & my leopard print sling bag as well. =D

I went with them, friends who work in my aunt's restaurant.

The pub was filled with LOTS of people with amazing & funny costumes & makeups! 

Enjoyed the night very much!

Really hope that my best friends were here, celebrating with me,

 to make the party even great. =)
