"Pop-up" mall

Fancy shopping in a shipping container?




Re:Start the heart

this s a temporary mall, a revitalization of the inner Christchurch city following the February earthquake...it comprise of 60 shipping containers creating 27 shops...this is the first pop-up mall in the world...




Apparently, similar project have been planned in London called Boxpark...







Someone actually donated 5mil to rebuild Christchurch and wanted to remain anonymous...I wonder if any Malaysian would actually do this if our country had a major disaster...

yes vain and self obsessed I know...hahaha



p/s: I just realized what made me write this post, I have a huge pimple on my upper lip and the anxiety and panicky feeling in high school ALL came back to me...hahaha mengong tul

Baby, you passed!

10 places where women want to be touched

Forget a woman’s cleavage, there are more erogenous spots that you can explore to get your lady sexcited. Read on to discover her ten most sensuous body parts.

What guys often mistake is that they go straight for the woman’s breasts or other private parts, without concentrating on her nine other moan zones.

So, if you want to get your girl into the mood, stimulate some of her often-neglected body parts.


Tresses

All guys like women with gorgeous locks. But what you need to know is that women love being touched on their head. It’s quite a stress reliever.
Running your hands sensuously through her tresses is likely to send shivers down her spine. Massage her temples to the nape of her neck and she'll be game to your desires.

Nape of her neck

In ancient Japan, the back of a woman’s neck was considered extremely attractive by men as it was one of the few zones that were not covered by the elaborate kimono.
Today, very few men focus on the nape of the neck, but we suggest you build up the pleasure by gentle touching and kissing your lady love from her hairline down to her shoulders. It will make her reach dizzying heights of pleasure.

Collar bone

A well-defined collarbone is what men find irresistible. So, why not touch and kiss her there. Unbutton her shirt just a little and stimulate her collarbone with your touch. Create circles with your tongue and give her love bites right there, just to remind her of how much you want her.

Small of her back

Most women love it when their guy places his protective hand against the small of her back as it shows that he feels very strongly about her.
So, why not incorporate this gesture into your foreplay routine, by kissing or licking down her spine to end up with a kiss on the small of her back. It will definitely get her into the mood for more!

Behind her knees


This area is a power house of sensitive nerve endings. You can gently caress the back of her knee under her skirt while the two of you are in an open public space as it is sure to get her excited by the time you reach home.

Palms of her hands

We use our hands to please our partners, but have you ever thought that you could arouse a woman by stimulating the palm of her hand? Run your finger along her palm as that will make her feel relaxed and ready for a sexy rendezvous ahead.

Her earlobes

This is one of the most erogenous moan centers of a woman’s body. Touching, kissing and even gently biting her earlobes will send her into a sexual tizzy. If you are getting extra adventurous, simply nibble around the outside of the rest of her ear as well, but don’t put your tongue inside her ear. That’s a major turn off!

Happy feet

There’s nothing more sinfully seductive than a foot massage. It will help her relax, especially if her job requires her to be on them all day. Get yourself some aromatic massage oil or lotion.
Pay extra attention to the pressure points such as her toes, ankles and the sides of her feet too. Some women love enjoy having their toes sucked, but others find it repulsive, so ask your babe what she would have you do before putting them in your mouth.

Soft thighs

Touching a woman’s inner thighs without touching her private parts is the most sensual tease that is sure to get her all charged up.
Employ your hands and mouth to caress and kiss the insides of her thighs but remember to pull back before going all the way.

Melissa

*No, no, melissa is not going to be the name of our child*


I've never owned a crocs, believe it or not...I think every family and friends I know, own at least a pair of crocs...Don't know why I never had the chance to buy a pair...
tetibe recently





Taknak beli crocla nak beli nie...







These pretty flat with tiny wedge is from Melissa...giler comel with the stiletto print...



They are also called jelly shoes made from a special type of plastic with high elasticity...and they are also eco-friendly, 100% recyclable!...






They seems comfortable but I wonder if you'll get all sweaty wearing all plastic around your feet...you know the kind you get wearing gumboot all day (eceh macam biasa pakai gumboot je)...but you know what i mean, will you get all melekit and masam-ness after wearing it all day...







What more interesting is (for me la)...some great designer also design for this shoes...Viviene Westwood, Jean Paul Gaultier and many more



And they are pretty fashionable and I wonder if I can walk for hours in these babies and still can feel my feet by the end of the day...









but the are quite expensive...they retail over US$100...


dengki tul la *bummer*

European style Living

*Finally manage to finish this after several weeks as a draft, fuh!*

I'm sure everyone has a dream home and living space...I've always (eceh always konon, baru tgk site nie and terus fall in love) European style of living...I like IKEA stuff but if you have a confined space, IKEA is definitely an inspiration but since we are talking about dream home, of course I'm dreaming BIG...

Its pretty hard to get a European type of villa in Malaysia and I wish I can find home furnishing like this Ballard Design in Malaysia...maybe ade, i je yg tak tahu... but anyway have a look a this...they have lot more in thier site and their catalog, wish I could get a hand of their catalog...I'm in love...







Just simply divine...

one day, one day...

InsyaAllah

Can't get this Baby song out of my head...

I've recently got hooked watching X-Factor US, especially after hearing this 14 years old girl sang JB's baby song with her own spin on it....seriously her version was amazing....

Just can't wait to hear her sing more...

Uni-Brow

There's no post at all last week, LAME! I do have a couple of draft but just didn't get manage to finish it off just yet...

I've been busy trying to live better...its so frustrating when you don't even have the time to even go for a threading and facial (my eyebrow is becoming uni-brow as I speak and my nose looks like a strawberry, full with blackhead, gross I know)...and don't get me started on my hair...

Bert's uni-brow


So I vow to take more good care of myself...I need to keep my appointment for threading at least once a month and do facial regularly as well...


I miss going to the hair saloon for weekly wash, yes i go every weekend, well that was right after graduating when there's practically nothing to do...and just spend hours with Naza every weekend doing god knows...how I miss those days, just lazying around with the girlfriend...(missing girlfriend badly mode)


Anyway, I finally manage to rearrange and reorganized my life...made an appoitment for threading, facial and massage...maybe will try to fit a hair wash/cut appointment sometime next week...bought a new yoga mat - yang lame ntah pi mane, ntah2 dah jadi alas "the boys" baiki kete kat umah (I've been putting off doing yoga because of no mat, lame excuse kan?)...also bought a pedometer and bought few ingredient to prepare my diet meal...


And you know what happen when I told my husband I'm going on a diet yet again...he said

"you know when you go on a diet, you'll buy a whole new food and it just ended up not eaten, and Iwan even told me that you've even tried dieting, bring all sort of "diet" food when you go back to "kampung" but you ended up ditching it just because you can resist Penang food, hilarious!!!"


This is what I hate when your brother is too close with the husband!


I'm so telling Anis ALL your dirty little secret, Iwan....


*evil look, plotting a revenge on the brother*

there's gotta be more to life...

Quoted from Steve Jobs

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

and

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”





Couldn't agree more...

The new pastel love

I've never knew how much I love pastels until I saw this Australian clothing brand, Forever New...Their collection are literally to die for...check this out...these are my personal favourites (Ok I lie, I love everything in their store and clearly I can't put up all their stuff here)












Not only their clothing but I'm also drooling over their gadget's accessories...so chic...




But the bad news is they don't have any store in Malaysia and the closest is in Singapore...*bummer* and their online shop only ship within Australia...*double sad*


why oh why? Look at these shoes and clutches, so preeeety....



Tunggula, jumpe store die nak borong sumer bende...tak kire!



Frustated... (if you can't tell)

Nearly a year..

I have abandoned this blog for nearly a year for none other than the lamest but truthful reason I was so busy...But I miss blogging, just blogging the nonsense things I always do...
A lot have change since I last blogged (like duhh, its been a year for god sake).
  • I'm now officially Mrs Amrin and loving most bit of it...Haha...The key is to pick your battle - find the most annoying habit of his that just bug you to the very core and start nagging while letting the rest go...AND it works but to hubby's defense I'm very extremely picky. (C'mon I colour coordinate hanging and folded clothes, sock and undergarment and I get twitches when its not at the right place). Saiko I know. I'll blog more on the life after marriage soon-nish.
  • The wedding and pre wedding stuff - its been 5 months and I still haven't pick up the official wedding photo yet...I will definitely need to do an? entry on that since I DIY a lot of things in my wedding and it will be wasteful not to share it.
  • I've finally graduated - yes after so many years slaving to the books. I had a great graduation with family and friends despite the so many hiccups and a near breakdown...Emo giler ok..Oh I still didn't had the chance to contact my official grad family photo yet...giler busy.
  • The ever so awesome 2-weeks graduation road trip around South Island with the family members of 9 people and the so tiring 6-8 months of planning...Urggh bleh muntah ingat the planning bits...but hey who am I kidding I love planning and definitely can't wait to plan the next big trip...InsyaAllah June/July 2012...

Although so many things have changed this year, somehow everything is not making more sense than I thought it will be...it has become more blurry and more uncertain...student life seems so easy now...



Naah
scratch that :)...my personal life during uni was hard but now, its not harder but different...okay I'm rambling and not making sense...you've got to be in my head to understand...



Anyway just leaving you to ponder this...

Is it really greener on the other side and is it really better to be someone else (eyeing the ladies with the Chanelss)?

Watching Toy story with my 4 year old bro...
Akmal: "Kakak jadi Jessie, Amal jadi Buzz Lightyear"
Moi: "Okay!" (I'm the heroin in the story, Woot woot!)


Next watching
Madagscar STILL with my 4 year old bro...
Akmal: "Kakak jadi Gloria, Amal jadi Alex"
Moi: "Huh, kakak jadi Gloria sebab die girl kan? kan? kan? bukan sebab die gemuk or badak kan? kan? kan?


Great now I'm a big fat hippo...
