Sweet Like Candy

Sorry for my lack of post, it’s just that I don't have anything inspiring to write lately , plus coming home from work I just felt exhausted, uninspired , and mentally drained
  It's good to get away from the computer for a while ..
 
I do not want to write just for the sake up updating my blog.
I promise I will be more committed to my blog. 

I just need some time off .. Hope you guys understand..
I will be back and I will check out all the links exchange and reply comments and drop by my new followers' page soon..

And I did not have any new outfit post , I'll just share some sweetness with my readers

I love candy stores ,
I never really fancy sweet stuff but I just like to walk in and look at all the colours , shapes and the happy faces of children




What is your favorite Candy?

Mine is Gummy Bears , red ones especially :)

If I'm Ugly Then So Are YOU



Have you ever woken up and feel like smashing the mirror so you won't have to see your reflection ?
 
Have you ever walked with your head high just to have something to say something bad behind your back 
And made you feel like you're the ugliest creature on earth?
 
Have you ever starved yourself so you can live up to someone else's expectations ?
 
Have you thought of going under the knife so you can look like the models in magazines?
 
Have you ever been made fun of because of your difference ? In skin colour / weight / shape or height 

Seriously who are they to tell us what is beautiful and what is not

All of us went through that and I think it's really ugly to make others feel bad about themselves..

To all women out there ,

You are beautiful and never let anyone make you feel the opposite

Hello ! I am BACK


Gosh my blog has been dead for 4 days. I've just reach home yesterday. Finally i can have time to laze in front of my desktop and write a short update.

Trip back home was good. Time was not enough for me to see everyone . But i manage to meet up with one of my best guy friend Gino. He sat behind me in class when we were 18. Funny how people always say there is no way a boy and girl can remain as best friends.

Such thing does not exist , WELL HEY LOOK AT US !


We live for together for almost a year back in 2008 , and he is one the people who truly sees and accept the UGLY side of me lol . He tolerate my bad temper and of course we fight and i have said the meanest thing that i wish i could take it back. But i am just glad we can still be comfortable in our skin and yet remain the best of friends ever.




He is gonna kill me if he sees this candid shot lol

As for the outfit My dress and my first pair of Brogues ( OH YES ) are from Cotton ON
Head band from Forever 21
And bag from a local store

PS: I will check out everyone's update by tomorrow , i want to jump on my bed and sleep right now

Love will Tear Us Apart Again

Growing up in a broken family , i have nothing much to write about my parent's love story. I mean they had their time , people change and i still hate my dad for leaving us.

I spent most of my time with my grandparents, from sleeping in the middle of their bed with them when i am little . I am always the apple in my grandfather's eye, spoiled to death by him.

Funny people often think i uses Ithisingkarn as a glamor name , but no i did not .
Ithisingkarn is my late grandfather's name in Thai. I don't see the point of using my dad's family name when basically this person has never been there for me.


My grandfather is a Thai student from Bangkok who came to Penang Island , Malaysia to study. He came with a group of friends and they rented a room in ( now our heritage house in Penang ). My grandmother's mother was a widow with 5 children to raise. Her husband my great grandfather was a  wealthy businessmen who died at a very young age leaving her with 5 children to raise. My great grandmother work as a seamstress , all the women in my family including my grandma can work magic on the sewing machine except us ( the new generation including my mum ) .

I adores her beautiful wedding dress made of lace , someday if i ever get married i would want my dress to be exactly like hers



In my hometown Penang is where my Grandpa met my Grandma
My grandma is a beautiful yet so stubborn and head strong. 
She told us back then she have many suitors, there is one who work as a pilot, one was my Grandfather's best friend who is a rich man's son from Bangkok,and jokingly she will always say she must have been blind to choose a poor man like my Grandfather.
 
I love listening to her stories because back then not every girl is lucky enough to have the chance to be with someone they love. 
During her time , most of the girls are married to men they have not seen before , it was always the arranged marriage by their parents.
But back then people understand and respect the value of marriage not like the young people nowadays.

They Fell in love just like a fairy tale But God did not give them the chance to grow old together. I lost my grandfather in December 2008 , my grandma was so heart broken she passed away few months after him.....

When 2 hearts beats as one , till death do them part




Every time i see an old couple holding hands on the street, i secretly pray that my
Grandparents is in somewhere better , Together


In Loving memory 


♪ Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away...

i cried when i heard this song, because God knows how much it reminds me of them

The Jill of All Trades and Mistresses of None


When i was seventeen my English Teacher said ' Jasmine don't be a Jack of All Trades Master of None. Which i still think i am ..I have a gift , which is to draw , i love to draw , i wish i can work magic on a paper but sadly i cant. I am looking forward to learn everything starting from basic. 

I also wish to learn to sew , wearing clothes that i made sounds pretty awesome too me. I envy those who has so much talent to make creative DIY pieces and clothes.
I am in between size 12-14 , YES BELIEVE IT.

In Malaysia most of the clothes , design are meant size S - M , most of the stuff i like does not come in my size. Sometimes its so frustrated to walk in a store to see clothes that look like as if they were made for anorexic victims, no offends to anyone who is naturally petite and slim.

And labels or store from Overseas like Forever 21 , Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins does have my size but to be honest i find most of the stuff pretty pricey for me.



Don't even make me start with shoes , its such a pain to hunt for the perfect shoe which come in my size. 
So tell me girls , if you have the time and money what would u wish u can learn?

Here is my humble list
  • Sewing - I want to make my own dresses
  • Acoustic Guitar - For my passion for music
  • Baking - Make cakes , cupcakes , muffins and bread , the thought itself made me smile
  • French - I always find the language very sexy :)
  • Photography - Would love to know everything about manual and film cameras

    I am saving up for this baby
    , Olympus EPL-1



    Girls sorry for my lack of time spend with my blog, will drop by to say Hi to everyone soon.
    Got to rush out for my bestie's birthday dinner
    Have a happy Sunday everyone
    Can't wait to hear from you

Au Revoir Sunday


How's everyone's weekend ?
I think i am now the happiest broke & penny less girl in town .
I kinda critically over spent this month , every where i go there is SALE sign hanging.
And me i can never resist buying stuff i don't need.
Gosh sometimes i feel that i am slowly turning into a shopaholic.



  But lucky i am not that person who is crazy about labels.
Well labels are just labels to me , honestly i am still young and underpaid so i can hardly afford it.
I don't understand people who rather starve just to wear / use expensive labels

Is it worth to go that extreme?
I have mutual friends who think that by wearing labels it makes them more superior than others.
Well to me its kind of a show off which is
unnecessary.
Because behind all the so called glamor is a long statement of credit card bills from the bank.
AS for me
Mum says i should cut down on buying shoes and clothes as i already have ENOUGH in my closet.

But as i always say
Enough is never ENOUGH for a girl

Anyway i am pretty stuck with this song right now :)

♪ The sky is way bigger than I ever thought it could be
I really can't see where it ends
Clouds like bubbles in a sink touching my face
Makes me forget how to think

FriYAY - My Third Award from Three Awesome Writers



Hi girls , sorry i have been a little lazy to update my blog . Because spending 8 hours in the office doing paper work ,typing reports and dealing with difficult clients totally worn me out. Sometimes i wish i have nicer things to write , more interesting things which is happening in life but sadly i have none. I have tried my best to stay true to myself through my writing. 

The other day someone said i must have been so happy to gained new followers from time to time..well..to be honest i know by heart who are the people who really read and loves my blog just the way it is. Its not the matter of  how many followers i have. Because a blog may have 1000 followers but if only 100 are real readers who took the time and effort to really read a post , then i really don't see the point


Anyway i am still very thankful to all those who supported me .I will try my best to reply everyone's comment sorry if i have missed out any.
