In the making of StyleKandi

Last Wednesday I had a glimpse of what StyleKandi is all about. I was invited to their Sneak Peak Media Launch at Desire, Heritage Row along with several members of Malaysia's Hottest Bloggers.

That post will be coming right up after this but before I do so, here are some behind the scene photos which I found pretty interesting.

Wanna know what being a hamster feels like?

Earlier today, I had an awesome time with the fiance, bunny and chris at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta at Putrajaya.

It was drizzling when we reached the venue at 3pm. There were so many things going on that we did not know where to even begin. So, we walked aimlessly towards the crowd of people with our umbrellas and it wasn't a very pleasant walk. The roads were muddy and there were big puddles of water everywhere we wanted to step on.

As we were approaching the Hot Air Balloon section, we saw the sign that the balloons will be released into the air at 6pm so we had a long way to go. The extreme section was just down the hill from where we were standing, so we decided to check that out.


There were a few interesting activities that we came across but we decided to give this one a try because bunny was jumping up and down wanting to be a hamster for a few minutes of her bunny life. We got ourselves tickets for the Waterball ride and it was priced at RM20/ball with maximum 2 person/ball.

I didn't want to try it at first because the Waterball was actually a giant rubber ball thing, and we got to be inside and depend our lives on the durability of the rubber ball in the middle of the lake. Two reasons I was not convinced that it is safe. First, I can't swim so if anything happens, I will be trap inside a deflating ball in the middle of the lake. Second, I don't like the fact that I am inside something closed. Can you imagine yourself trapped inside a box or a transparent ball like a hamster? No, right.


So anyways, I told myself that it couldn't be that bad because people were having fun in that ball. Even an American chick was telling me how great it was despite she got a little dirty as she had to land on where her feet once was which was a little muddy. I gave it a shot and I can say that given any chances, I will never look back and say that I regretted giving it a shot because it was the best Hamster experience I've ever had.

Seriously it was the coolest thing on earth! The fiance and I were fascinated by how cool and fun it was. It is as if you are floating above water, how odd. If you were to go alone into that ball and float on the water all by yourself, trust me, it will be no fun at all. If you do give it a try, try it with a partner and roll it as much as you can and cause your partner to do cartwheels inside the ball. You'll probably have so much fun you don't want it to end. That was how I felt when it was times up! All we had was 5mins because there was only so much air it could store for us in that ball.


Well, today was something different as I experienced hamster life in a hamster orb for 5 mins and I would love to be a hamster again just for the experience!


Just by the lighthouse, we came across a familiar odour of animal shit and that was when I caught a glimpse of a few horses, so we made our way there. Being hamster for 5 mins just wasn't enough for bunny because at the sight of the horses, she wanted to feel what a real human would feel like riding a horse. So to be able to experience that, she went onto the back of a horse just like how a normal human would and had the time of her life for another 5 mins!


We then chilled in a cafe nearby, hoping that the drizzle will stop so that we could ride the paddle boat and catch the balloons at 6pm but the rain didn't stop and it was unlikely that they will have the balloons up today so we made our way back home.



All in all, it was a lovely day spent with lovely people :D

I Peeking You!

This is my four month old niece and she is just so adorable. Have not met her in person but I am definitely looking forward to the day she comes to Malaysia. Say hi, people! :D

I would love to wear green today.. but..

I don't have any green pieces in my wardrobe. So instead of looking high and low just to dress up in green, snap a photo of myself for you guys, I would love to have this post in GREEN!

I usually don't have time to blog on Thursdays because what usually happen is that I wake up really early to visit my suppliers, take in some new pieces, replenish some old ones, photo shoot myself for the upcoming collection, chill for a while, start with packing pieces into designated parcels for tomorrow's postage, rest a bit, have dinner, then edit this afternoon's photos, think of names and... most of the time, I'll continue the next day. However, today I stopped at "rest a bit before having dinner", to dedicate this post to Patrick. Simply because it is his day.

I didn't know what was St Patrick's Day all about except that there's something green in it and it's an Irish culture. Well, thanks to Angela, St Patrick's Day came about when once upon a time, "Saint Patrick got rid of all the snakes in Ireland..so definitely a celebration because snakes are horrible! A small little celebration became a huge one because of the Irish Famine where majority of the Irish moved out of Ireland to US, UK and Australia. The biggest St Paddy's Day parade is held in Chicago where they even turn their river green and serve green beer!!!!"

How interesting! Green river and green beer aren't something you see everyday. Before today, I didn't even know there's such a celebration so to those who just read this and learned something new, I would like to applaud myself for passing this knowledge on and enlightening those who did not know what St Patrick's Day is all about but if I was the only one who didn't know the meaning of today, .. well, I guess somewhat it is good that I know lah! At least when people ask me, I can answer! LOL



So HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY people! To the people in Chicago, may you have a great green day drinking green beer looking at the green river!

ps : not my fault if you can't read my post in green. blame Patrick!
