Trip to Kampar

On Christmas eve, my friends and I went to Kampar, Perak for a trip. We went there separately, setting off at 6pm, 7.30pm and 8pm. All reached before 10.30pm, in time for our late dinner of steamboat. We stayed at Vincent's aunt house located at Mambang DiAwan, about 5-10 minutes away from Kampar. It is a place of serenity and bliss, without the troubles of city. Well, that's what you call a trip isn't it? 

Carpool! (Left to right) Kok Leong, Stephanie and her brother whom also my best friend, Adrian. Sorry for my blinding flash :P

Quick Shop

Back on Christmas eve, my friends and I were a bit confused on whether our trip was on or not. Despite that, I went out with 2 buddies for lunch at Inhouse then head straight to Pavilion. On the way to Pavilion, we received phone calls saying that the trip was still on and that we need to go out in 2 hours. Thus, there is no time to waste. My friend settled with his Fossil watch strap replacement enquiry and I had my goals in mind.

Went in Topman for a quick browse for their shirts and nothing caught my eyes. Then it's Seed in Padini concept store to find similar design of shirts I like from Zara.

Late a day due to trip, but better than never.

Fabrics and Materials

Have you ever wonder when you saw a piece of clothing, shirt for example, with names like flannel, gingham, or even seersucker? Or jacket with names like fleece, corduroy, or tweed? What do they mean? They actually refer to the material or fabric of that particular clothing, which sometimes of what they tried to mimic. There are many types of fabrics and materials used in clothes and shoes. Here, I will try to introduce a few, the more common ones (but not as common as cotton, denim and polyester) to you. Have fun browsing :)


Durable fabric used on trousers and jackets, one of my least like fabric.

Shoes

Some wear the same pair of shoes, some alternate depending on occasion and some just have too many pairs to choose. I was wedged between the first 2, and that explains the reason why I am in a dilemma right now.

It came to me that I needed a new shirt for that special occasion (such as dad's coming birthday celebration which requires us to go all the way up to Penang... ), as backup to my worn old shirts. And to pair with it, I have my vintage coloured chino. Then, the shoes. Right. No, the Nike sneakers won't match it. I left my Converse plimsolls back in hostel and it was worn anyway. So do I need to buy a new pair of shoes for this, or do I just sucked up with my kinda worn Pedro sneakers?

Random 39

Welcome back to another Random post! Got out of the laziness (though momentarily) of just posting fashion entries. 

I did my final examination for the year, and I'm officially in holiday! Back at home, on my bed, hugged my dogs... nothing feels like home. Except I need to do house chores. And bathe the dogs. And maybe follow my dad to work. And... alright, enough. The night was cool, banging (again) newly acquired dubsteps like Barsonic vol.6 by Mr. Nasty, Cinema (Skrillex Remix), My Ferrari (Gigi Barocco Remix), and Raise Your Weapon by Deadmau5 as opposed to my Madeon Remix version.

Both arms still aching, wonder can I perform for Badminton tonight. Rain had been falling on Kuala Lumpur this whole week, good weather for cake and a cuppa. And the good news; mom stocked up cheese, green tea and walnut cakes in the fridge! I was planning to go Pavilion today for stress-relieve shopping but woke up half past one, kinda guilty to myself, haha! Oh, friend called to ask me out for leisure stroll.

Okay that's all. LOL. I told ya it's random!

Peer pressure

I'm typing this right after my final outing of the year, a relaxing one, with my classmates right after our final exam paper. Phew! Been overusing my brain for at least 8 days; revising and in deep thought for 10-12hours per day. 

Right, peer pressure. Which kind? 

Back in my Diploma days, or even secondary school, I had been easy on myself in studies. As my parents never pressure me and I was rather laid back, I didn't put much effort into getting a distinction for any subjects I took. To me, exam papers were just, papers. What is it going to do with my life? I can live even without straight distinction. SPM, for example, is just an entry requirement to reputable government university or to help you in applying scholarships. Diploma? I can retake the subject if I failed. I just need to put a little bit effort to graduate within the planned period.It is that simple.

Fashion 56

A quickie. Of the usual detailing, layers, colours and facial expression.
