微笑狠角 X 咆哮撒嬌: 小格調

found this on Weibo

it’s in JPEG form

erm..

and in simplified Mandarin characters

no worries,

I will type them all out

character by character

 

請別輕易愛上金牛座

金牛座很壞,很壞,很壞

 

金牛座的心時常會痛壞

就像那些輾轉在自尊下的愛

 

痛了,疼了,

哪怕心都要死了

也不說出口

 

她獨立,也堅強

她寧愿忍受太多的寂寞和痛苦

也不愿意跟任何人提起

 

但其實

骨子里,

渴望有個避風港灣,

讓她去依靠

 

但是

她必須確定那個人

是否可以承受得了這一切

 

承受

她的撒嬌

她的無理取鬧

她的倔強

她的悲觀

她所有性格的缺陷

且永遠不離不棄

 

只有這樣,

她才放心

 

她最愛的是

鎖在房間里,

因為

她一直活在自己的世界里

 

第一次看到金牛座的時候

覺得這有點冷,

她實不擅長對初識的人

嶄露過多的笑顏,

特別是異性

 

一定要對方

流露對她有好感,

她才散發她的熱情

 

其實

金牛座很低調

只要一雙父母,

幾個知心朋友,

一個愛她并且愛她的人

 

名利地位,

金牛座對這些看得很淡泊

唯一具備殺傷力的是感情

 

感情如果受到挫折,

那說不定真的毀了她

 

也許她還要的東西是

自由和希望

 

她努力去營造

一個屬于自己并且是永遠的城堡

 

如果真的可以,

金牛座愿意

一輩子居住在里面,

再也不出來

 

金牛座分手后

完全不會像其他的星座那樣

在人面前要死要活,

她嬉笑怒鬧,

變得更加“開朗”

 

在聽到有關他的話題時,

她適當參與,淡然微笑

 

她的表現

總會遭人懷疑這段感情的深淺,

而人群中只有那些知道

背后情節的人才看見

她背后的眼淚和努力

 

如果你看到她的眼淚,

請相信這絕不是

她在博取同情,

這是她這樣一顆內心驕傲的樣子

不得已的場景

 

現在的她,

只是想找回

原來的自己

 

但請你

不要輕易給她承諾和誓言,

即使她很難相信,

但她還是會選擇

等待和堅持

 

哪怕

她料想到結果,

她也會選擇認命

 

金牛座的傷,

不濃烈似酒,

只是一杯白水,

可是她早已讓它

滲入生活的點滴

 

她選擇

在其中淡定,在其中沉默

 

金牛座就是這樣

 

外表堅強,

內心脆弱

孤傲只是用來保護自己

害怕被傷害

 

金牛座不是一個平常的星座

 

最不會討人歡心

最重自尊

最講義氣

最有保護欲

 

災難中,最冷靜,樂觀

 

最怕寂寞,

最光明磊落,

最不被理解

最有耐心,

最沖動

 

金牛座的抑郁不是平常的

她充滿陽光的氣息

 

她的家庭不一定很是富裕

但她都是習慣了

養尊處優

 

她也許很優秀

也許習慣了掌聲

 

她五官也許不是很精致

但卻有一種

想讓人多看一眼的

獨到氣質

 

她喜歡熱鬧

也享受孤獨靜座

在一個人的房間

聽著很傷感的音樂

 

她總是習慣在人前

偽裝的很堅強

其實

 

她很脆弱

也很善感

她經常會覺得孤獨,寂寞

抑是想一個人

 

她從不輕言愛

她的愛很沉默

那并非是因為

她缺乏那份勇氣

 

在她的心里

有一道欄桿

那就是

自尊 自愛

 

她看得比生命更尊貴的

自尊

 

如果有一個金牛座最你說

她愛你

 

那么,

希望

你好好珍惜她

 

即使你不愛她,

要拒絕,

也請你委婉點

 

因為

當有個金牛座向你說

她愛你的時候

那就代表

 

在她心里

你的分量

勝過了她的自尊

 

那么,

希望

你好好珍惜她……

Extravagance X Off Vigilance: Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance

I don’t know

somehow I tend to shop a lot

after coming from abroad

regardless of how much shopping I have done

 

there is always this symptom

ok, I call this a

Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)

 

whereby

there is this sudden freedom of shopping

since while I am abroad

there are other considerations on the priority list

such as:

  • budget
  • luggage allowance
  • cost-effectiveness, (I mean carry all the way)

 

so

once settled back comfortably at home

at a familiar setting

there is this shopaholic symptom

suddenly getting out of hand

a unleash of pressure abroad

 

oh my

ironic enough

if vacation is treated as a form of pressure

why bothered to travel

 

okay

leave this point alone

 

let’s move on to the symptoms

okay

before 10 a.m. in the morning

I was in the mall already

for the free eco-bag at Uniqlo

Early Freebies X Sales Goodies: Uniqlo @ MV

 

then the journey continued on

at this pretty delightful and enlightening

probably one of the best

not-so-commercialized campaign

at the center court

Mickey the Icon

P1170720

 

whereby tenants, artists, celebrities

and other affiliated partners

get to design a Mickey Mouse

and here you are

probably I should cover these in another post

customized Mickey Mouse

 

damn

but I can’t help feeling that

probably I shouldn’t waste so much money

entering two Disney Land theme parks

no more Disney Land for me, seriously 

except the one in Tokyo, maybe

the rotating Mickey Mouse

 

but of course

there were booths set up

like one was for the purchase of these

customize-able Mickey Mouse

wow, Rm 450 in single receipt

entitles a purchase for Rm 45

 

and this one

people seen with new luggage

 

a Mickey Mouse luggage fair

price starting from Rm 399,

I think, I am not too sure

besties is almost tempted into buying one

because she actually drove an empty car here today

but obviously she had got better self-control than me

and she did not suffer from the

Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)

thank goodness this not something I fancy

although was admiring the cuteness of them

Mickey Mouse luggage fair

 

anyway

this is even more awesome right

free hand carrier with the purchase of

Rm 750 from Mango

aha.. that’s not too large a sum

like a dress, a pair of jeans, a bag

or probably a combination of more or less of 7-8 items

provided that,

you are willing to spend that at one go

free Mango hand luggage

 

I have fell victim to that kind of strategy

I mean, I have been a proud owner

of a M&M’s cabin luggage

under a similar scheme

ended up buying clothes at Bossini

which I never did before, and hardly after

the funniest part of all

I had never carried this

M&M’s cabin luggage abroad yet

one is enough!!!

 

Cotton On at level one

was undergoing renovation

went over to the Nichii next door

with little interests

because never looted anything from here

the one back home has got more

off-season items for sales, usually

LBD in action

 

someone fell for a bag at Zara

I almost fell, looking at the daring red colour

Zara red bag spotted!!

 

someone with a more severe brain damage

fell for a baby blue shopper bag at Calvin Klein

someone who claimed that she never bought

things for the sake of the brand

oh my.. this someone who suffers from

Post-Vacation Shopping Nuisance (PVSN)

Calvin Klein baby blue shopper bag

 

and she was staring hard

at the other colours available

  • Navy blue: too Longchamp-like
  • Orange:  too Sainsbury-like
  • Red: too Chinese-New-Year-Like
  • Beige: too freebies-like
  • Black: too Calvin-Klein-like, but well it’s a CK

the baby blue was donned on the mannequin

for a reason, right?

slowly eliminating the other colours

 

this was particularly a long day

with two different shopping partners

one left after another

and I was still going strong

and got texts from mom and housemates

whether I am at home/I am coming home

 

lunch and dinner

both settled in the mall

two branches of Zanmai

fried oyster rice

 

the other one across at Mid Valley

which was known as Pasta Zanmai

basically they serve pasta, pizza

Italian food with Japanese ingredients

like those mushrooms, oysters etc

japanese pizza

 

finally

the loots of the day

after almost 12 hours at Mid Valley malls

 

the root of all evils

the freebies from Uniqlo

white eco shopper bag from Uniqlo

 

loots from Uniqlo

okay

I don’t really need them

but since they were going on an open-special-price

and I don’t really own any cartoon shirts

on classic Pooh and Donald & Daisy Ducks

classic PoohDonald and Daisy Ducks in love

 

this was my toughest struggle

how could I resist the world famous beagle

but I had promised myself not to buy any of these

compiling the whole collection

here on my blog is more than enough

that was what I used to tell myself

I mean, before the one month vacation

P1170792

 

this simple yet elegant LBD from Nichii

at 70% off

with beige lining

and a sheer back

beige-little-black-dress

 

this is just a sudden thought

I am not sure whether it will work out fine

turning the dress inside out

and put on a belt

hence there you are

another beige colour dress

beige colour dress

 

overcome with despair

over the loss of my late Gatsy cap

how many miles away he has been with me

London-Abu-Dhabi-Kuala Lumpur

and I lost it on a transit bus right there

when I was almost done with the long journey

you have no idea how sad I was

he has been with me for

the windy and rainy days back at London

Gatsby cap

 

a replacement kid

from Bershka

oh my, capturing a photo of your cap

is such a challenge

Bershka chambray cap

 

and that something

which was seriously random

baby blue shopper bag, Calvin Klein

 

last but not least

and a navy blue polo tee for my dad

no, I did not buy this out of guiltiness

this was the earliest item I put in my basket

navy blue polo tee from Uniqlo

 

he has been growing

not taller, but horizontally

and some of the shirts are not so wearable anymore

I kept seeing him wearing some old stuffs

and actually warned him that

if you gonna wear that

during our backpack or usual outing session

I won’t walk with you for real

 

oh my

maintaining such as daughter

is really not easy for real

mentally, physically (staying fit)

and more importantly financially

Early Freebies X Sales Goodies: Uniqlo @ MV

I woke up late today

as in past 7.30 a.m.

thank goodness I got there on time

15 minutes to 10 a.m.

 

thank goodness I already

did a cursory survey

on the exact location two days back

Uniqlo Opening @ Mid Valley

 

9.49 a.m.

the queue was already moving fast

thank goodness

 

as you can see

the target audiences are pretty wide

there were quite some “home-makers”

or maybe retirees,

I hope it doesn’t sound discriminative

who had have the time to spare

on a Thursday morning like this

and not to mention

college and university loiterers like me

P1170694

 

by the way

at the entrance

the guests celebrity

Fahrin Ahmad and Carmen Soo

were giving away the eco shopping bags

limited to 200

just for the early birds

 

but those who did not manage to grab it

but can’t get enough of it

can actually redeem the bag

with a single receipt of two hundreds and above

 

opening special price

some, not all

it applies to both female and male departments

probably there were more

but those were the one people were rushing into

cartoon tee Rm 24.90
jeans Rm 49.90
formal shirt Rm 49.90
plain shirt Rm 19.90
tank top (woman) Rm 24.90

 

P1170696

 

thank goodness besties is happened to be in town

which is quite rare for now

since she is basically based in Melaka for

a full-time basis

quite unlike me, who travel to and fro

on a weekend/weekday schedule

 

she came in 15 to 20 minutes later than me

when the early bird gifts give-away

has already ended

but still, had to queue outside the store

since there was a crowd control

not to allow too many customers in store

at one time

\the mirror-lovers in pooh tees

 

queue cue

there were three of them

this is for the payment counters

another for the fitting room

and not forgetting the one outside the store

queue cue

 

basically

I took whatever I was interested in

stationed at one corner

and had a jolly good time

at my “open-aired” fitting room

Beware of Some Dogs - SnoopyDonald & Daisy Ducks in loveclassic Pooh

 

and saw the world went round

whereby more and more people were flowing in

with grocery baskets, filled up with clothes

grocery garment shopping

 

when the two queue lines intersected at one point

actually, the actual queue for payment counters

was opposite the river

we were going one round and round 

checking out more stuffs which we may overlook

take more, buy more..

oh no.. the queue display tactic

more queuesacross the river

 

hello people queue-ing for fitting session

good luck because we are done

the maximum garments allowed is 8

oh no… happy waiting

and next time do try out the

“open-aired” fitting room

I felt the excitement of being in Primark again

queue for fitting rooms

 

finally could see the payment counters for real

oh man, who was this dude in check shirt

he was kinda good looking

but I never noticed him though

till this photo

P1170715

 

what a familiar face?

Bosco Wong

did not know he is working with Uniqlo

what I know is they got pretty awesome

spokeperson(s) at Taiwan

did they actually discontinue with Khalil?

that’s very bad of them,

no probably he needs to concentrate

Bosco Wong poster @ Uniqlo

 

8.21 p.m.

What??

crowd control was still in place

gosh…

P1170776

 

what did I loot

on top of that free eco-bag

good question..

see you in the next post

the day at Mid Valley is still way long

Weather Proof X Covered Foot: Cold Spring Look-book

there are loads of “first-time-in-life”

which happened this particular Spring

 

first ever pair of tights

bought two pairs, for the purpose of bringing

but totally forgot about them

hence, bought a pack of three at

Primark (where else but there)

what I gonna do with them

feel kinda ridiculous to wear them

under this temperature and humidity

Royal Oak Station, Day 1

 

first ever blazer

ordered online, for 50% off by H&M

thanks to my Miss Manager

somewhere at York

 

first ever pair of Onitsuka Tiger

Paris bought, South Asian seller,

Japanese Brand, Vietnam made

the world is indeed small

white Onitsuka Tiger.. no longer that white now

 

first ever double pony-plaits

double pony-plaits

 

first lacey

with sheer back

so glad that the day I was wearing this

someone was sitting right behind

I didn’t do it on purpose, obviously

he moved himself to the seat right behind

outside Royal Albert Hall, main entrance

 

first ever Billabong item

somehow found it quite difficult to match around

probably flora tank like this

still goes the best with short denim pants 

and also first ever pair of navy blue pants

for 7 Pound from new look

floral tank top x navy blue pants

 

first ideal Oliver-Twist cap

but unfortunately I left it on the bus

somewhere on my way back

after I touched down

that’s kinda sad isn’t it

moreover, it’s a Yankee merchandise

trying my best to get somebody to get it for me again

please…

(ignore the people behind,

if you really wanna know,

it may take me two posts to talk about them)

Yankees Gatsby cap

 

for outdoors,

it’s always this

hoodies day

 

that was day 1

got weather-shock

one-digit temperature??

P1130838

 

or this

(after I bought it at Primark

for ten Pound!!)

outside British Museum

 

and both of them, at times

when the weather is too cold

or I was travelling

and hate to carry the bulky hoodies around

wear both instead, then

Versailes

 

favourite combination:

white sheer blouse x navy blue cardigan

white sheer blouse x navy blue cardiganwhite sheer blouse x navy blue cardigan

 

when you mix and match

  • varsity hoodies
  • sheer shirt
  • mini dress
  • tights
  • white sneakers
  • cap
  • eco tote bag
  • purplish shades

the half girl x half boy mix and match

 

because it’s too cold for anything else

and I do not wish to invest too much in warm clothes

which will appear quite redundant

when I am back in the sun

 

first ever month

without any flip flops

poor new iPanema stayed on

as bathroom and common room slippers

the black socks are weird looking, but for warming purpose

basically

I didn’t have much clothes with me

just played around with mix and match

so that I grab different looks everyday

P1160586

 

the tip to stay warm

instead of wrapping up like an Eskimo

is to wear a lot of layers

and put on and off accordingly

 

no extra spending on thick coat, boots

or whatever winter clothing

high five
