The lovely combination of a steaming cup of coffee and a blank piece of paper are what I absolutely live for.

I Read, I Display My Books..

One of my goals in life is to one day write a book, but I don’t think I’m ready just yet. Perhaps I will get around to it one of these days, if I could just figure out what to write about. Until then, I’m engrossing myself in loads of good books. Everything needs a place including my books. So I rearranging little corner in my room for my books. I make it a point to make them feel welcome into my life. However I have more of books in other room. My love to you not any less babies, blame this tiny racks.

JB Writers & Readers Festival 2012

Hi Lovelies!
  Hello...hello weekend again!' 
 I hope you guys enjoyed your weekend as much as I do.

Last Sunday during Malaysia's Day  Weekend, I headed over to Bukit Timbalan for JB Writers & Readers Festival to check out books written by independent authors/ Indie writers. I’ve always been a fan of books & it been a long time I didn’t read any of Malay books/novel. I used to love reading novels by A. Samad Said & Arena Wati.  Then when I started  college & university, I’m more obsess  with English reading materials, I guess it because it's much more socially acceptable  & I'm expose to that.

However last few months, when my cousin, Hadifah (Her blog post about JBWRF here)  introduced me with these two local indie books which were FreeCabi written by FikriKacak & Paus Gagal written by Tok Rimau.  I just felt in love reading Malay books again.  

When I start reading these indie books, I keep saying to myself ‘Oh my goodness, these guys are amazing. It was something different yet entertaining.’ I read them just within an hour. Both of the books are full of  sense of humour & surprisingly it is very interesting to read ( u won't get bored...trust me darling!). I recommend u guys to read it too. ;)  So feel free to Purchase Online MoquePress

Then from there, I started looking for books wrote by independent author. By now I did read few books by indie writers such as Awak Part 1 & 2 by FikriKacak, Gasak which is a collection of short stories from few indie writers & Zine Skandal

I could say that I’m proud of these bunches of Independent authors. They are brilliant! To me people who can write are like people who can do maths you either can or you can’t, as simple as that.


Here's a little video by Syed Syahrul.  
P/s You could spot me there. ;-P



I think all readers and writers can agree that JB readers & writers’ festivals this year was fantastic. So, what’s your favourite indie books and why? Feel free to share with me.

Now I'm Listening To

I heard this song while I was driving yesterday. Since that I was hook by this song & I lost count how many times I play it. It’s very nice to have playing it  over the weekend or in the morning while lounge/ bergolek-ing  on the bed and having a cup of coffee. I think this is the song that never fails to uplift my mood right now.

Happy Weekend Guys! 
Go! Have a lovely one.

I like every words of this song. So check it out guys! :-D



Wake up if you believe
Love is not a fading dream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Who feels this way right now


Lonely needs a friend
Ask him where he's been
You could be the Light that comes
And turns his world around

I don't wanna run, I don't wanna hide
When someone needs somebody
I don't wanna say, I don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear calls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Make-up hides her face
Cuz she feels out of place
She cries
Come on someone tell this girl she's beautiful

We don't gotta run, we don't gotta hide
When someone needs somebody
We don't need to say, we don't got the time
When someone needs somebody
With a little faith and a little soul
We can't go wrong
We can't go wrong

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
When a tear falls
And the fear calls
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

Singing
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
(C'mon)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let's stand up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let's stand
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Let's stand for the vision
Stand for the vision of love

Wake up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wake up
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wake up if you believe

When a heart breaks
And the world shakes
Will we stand for the vision of love?
Will we stand for the vision of love?

OldSchool Style


33

I'm rocking this style again today, Call me Ah Moi, i think my half Chinese blood is kicking me! ;-p

P1060372

My hair is getting longer so I decide to French braid my hair today. I just love the braid & wished I know how to french braid myself. My mom used to braid my hair like this when I was a kid.To me no matter how old you are braids are fantastic accessories.  It never fail to make you look chic, prim & proper, I could say so Blair Waldorf style. Bare with me my reader of my addiction to Gossip Girl.

xoxo
You know you love me. ;-)

Nice Places to Have Coffee in JB

When we talk about coffee, the first thing that comes to my mind are Coffee Bean & Starbucks.  However  there has a huge variety of other coffee shops too. I loved visiting cafe. Recently I went to few cafes along Jalan Dhoby & around JB town. We did spend hours wondering over the road of beautiful shop houses looking for cafe that we could pop in. I didn't even know lot of cafe existed here.

Think in the morning & Sleep in the night.

Morning & night are my favourite’s time. That means a lot of pyjama times. I love to see my wake up sleepy face. It’s when I could see my personality, my natural beauty & my true colour. I like happy morning & happy mood when I go to sleep.  Magazines & books never fail to accompany me during this time.

Sing a Song

I discovered I love the song of Live Your Life by Yuna. Although I have heard great thing about her voice but I hadn’t taken the time to listen to her songs. Last few days I had a chance to really listen to her song & voice. Her songs are truly captivated me!  I think I probably listened to this particular song Live Your Life, 50 times in the last 5 days. She is a Malaysian singer that base in New York, Proud of you girl!



LYRICS: LIVE YOUR LIFE

LIVE YOUR LIFE
Find your light
Don’t hide from what you are
And rise before you fall
And hope for something more
Live if you really want to
All my life I’ve been looking for something amazing
It’s almost like I’ve been stargazing
The sky is right above me
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself cause you don’t have to

(Chorus)
All my life my dreams just seemed so far away
And now it’s like they’re here to stay
I hold it close to me
We were meant for something bigger than this
Don’t ever try to dismiss yourself cause you don’t have to

(Chorus) x2

I Guess Coco is Getting Better

I’m sorry posting has been light these days in my blog. Coco was sick since last week with infection on her right eyes. I was busy taking care of her with few works on my plates. However now she’s getting better & I pity her that she hasn’t feeling like herself much lately. Most of the times she was asleep & she didn’t go out to play. I miss the happy chappy’s Coco.

Kitty kisses & licks to Coco. :-*

Pop The Cake From The Oven

Last week I got an ideal time for experimenting my baking skills in the kitchen. I couldn't have been happier with the results. It was everything I hope for in my Banana Raisin Cake. It was eatable (that was what I keep praying),  moist and just right but it's a bit sweet (hello! I guess I'm a sweet girl...).
