Golden Pavilion

Yes, it's all about Golden Pavilion for this post. If you don't know about what the title mean, it's actually a gorgeous building in Kyoto Japan, also named Kinkuji Temple. Why I used 'Gorgeous' for a beautiful building? This is because when I first saw this architecture it totally amazed me with the elegant and beauty of it's golden color and surrounding scenery, like a royal princess lives in a secret garden perhaps.
Here you go, the photo of Golden Pavilion.

And it's all my inspiration to create two designs..for Sakura Collection Students Award 2013! :)

Gonna go through the process of this competition over again, ready? set, GO! haha\
Step 1: I sent my designs with inspiration board above to their email..and wait for announce of top 10..

Step 2: I luckily got reply mail from the organizer and confirmed that I got into the final! I were so happy that time, yup and still remember! Inside the letter stated I have to post two designs to their mail 1 week b4 the final on 21st July.

Step 3: Starting my garments paper pattern think and think again...do samples, and shop shop shop for fabrics...materialss...etc. After that, work all day and night to done my designs asap. Yea, not much time left! Oh ya, I were able to meet with two of my models: Kay and Rebecca as they are same campus with me. I were feeling fortunate few times as I did a right choice on my models for me easy to do fitting! :)

Step 4: Okay this is something extra...I were doing all my designs and sent on time. After that left one week to 21st July. So, what I were doing in that week? It's a tough week for me. Besides doing some repairing and finishing of garments, I just started to work for my VIP n  VTTTF assignments, yes VIP and VTTTF?=very important project; very-take-time-to-finish lol! Batik and printing!! I were totally depressed when I faced difficulties in printing because the silkscreen with photoemulsion didn't turn out well. I failed 2 times and thinking of third time is the totally "Gan jiong" one..if fail too, it would bcome mission impossible for me to hand in my design during assessment which is next day after the competition! However, I met with many seniors who kindly helped me a lot! A LOT! I FELT TRULY APPRECIATE WHEN EVERYTIME I HAVE TO DO AGAIN THERE'S A KIND SENIOR APPEAR TO HELP ME! Thank you you and you so much! And yeah! I succeed the third time! :DD

Step 5: Do some test on hair and make up at home before the actual day. My very lovely, helpful, super women mommy helped me to be the stylist-of-the-day again during that day. I don't know how others see, but to me her style making is perfect! She's the person I need to thank most because not only helped me whole day from 8.30am to after competition, and accompany me, give comments during the whole process while I making the garments every night till 2am. THANK YOU MOMMY :D

Step 6: 21st July 2013, to Pavilion KL 7th Floor Platinum Hall for rehearsal, and preparation. When till the event started, I were being told by my dear models that I actually in a blank and "Look-so-stressful" situation backstage. While I actually thinking about what should I present in front of all professional judges later :P
Luckily I managed to recall back what I wrote in inspiration board and speak fluently in front of them. Pheww... And yea, walked runway with my models, having photos here and there, thanks to my models who are really tired after the show all day long!

Step 7: The announcement of result is the highlights for sure! There were so many awards before the winner..and I hardly could heard named being called and what awards they were giving..that made me even more nervous k? :X But when the last name call, I heard my name! I were in cloud 9 and felt happy like never before!! Walked to stage and received prize with glad, and heard the judge saying that he gave the highest marks to me mean a lot to me! It's 2nd time that my designs are officially being amazed by people and they assure me my choice to make this move! All I could say is thanks to every single one who helped me, advise me, vote for me, and myself who dedicated to sleep less haha! Lovessss XOXO


Yea, that's would be an end for my post so far, thanks again for my models who wore my designs with confident and enhance my designs to live! Love you two pretties so much! :D

Not an end to Japan trip! Feeling excited more and more each day oh-ow... =P

Friends-Gathered-Day

It's another wonderful day yesterday to gather with my primary classmates again. I am one of the host this time and we decided to go Mid Valley. Met up at LRT but waited some of them till 1 hour lol! I seriously tried my best to not going early, late 5 mins...but still, haha~ Hoping next time will be shorter like 30 mins or lesser? :P

K..My 1st ride of KTM to Mid Valley..never thought it so cost saving and easy! Just got to station Tasik Selatan by LRT then KTM straight to Mid Valley. Wohoo, next time i don't have to ask mom drive to there since the whole journey by train just RM1.70! :)

It considered a huge success to me in this event cuz most of them can make it..13 in total! It's the third time we gathered, n this is the most people's one! :D Glad to meet faces who I never see in a long time~

We had lunch after arrived at Taiwan Restaurant, then head to the bowling area. We were lucky as that period of time was the Fluorescent Light Glow moment, which means all area in darkness, with the Fluorescent ball and gantry and the roof of the area.



It was so damn pretty, as the whole galaxy just on your head! I totally amazed by the wonderful concept, and yes! We came at the right time. (Fluorescent Light Glow session: 2-5pm only)

 Yea, we had photoshoot session in this beautiful place too.

And....the result of our bowling haha! I dun really mind to be the bottom three since it's completely my 1st time handling a heavy ball and throw..lol! But I were surprised that I can even strike for twice! Tehee~!
Feel like gonna go again~ of course, must with a bunch of friends only would be more fun fun! :D

After that we watched Fast 6 together~ it was so awesome and a movie we cant miss out this season!
And that's end of our gathering of this time..look forward to the next one soon!

I believe, that every single person meet another person in this world, it must be related to some fate. What's more is a friend that we meet in our life. So for me, once a friend, forever a friend. A friend is to be cherish, remember, keep in touch, and share the happiness/sadness together with.

Cheers for our long live friendship,

OMG!

Happy Sunday people~! I wonder why its been few days the weather just super HOT! I can't agree more to take ice-cream as my favorite these days due to our Malaysia's weather..Huhu~ 

If you are planning to have some freezzzy dessert too, OMG! (Oh My Gas!) dessert store will be a perfect choice for now! I dropped by to get the ice-cream on yesterday however its so crowded cuz weekend. 
Even a passenger came asking me is the store having sale? Cuz she never saw such long queue before as she work there. 
(*Tips 1: Avoid going on weekend or ready for a patient stand-n-wait moment.)

So what so special about this dessert? I believe not only me but all the others went because of one video posted in facebook:

I realized that most of the people faced some difficulty during order at the counter cuz still not familiar with the steps to customize their dessert flavor. 
Yes! It's totally custom made for you right at that time. Here are the steps boards. 
(*Tips 2: Perhaps choose your one-of-a-kind mixed dessert earlier? ;) )

Cutie Cup=small size/Sexy Cup=big size 

Click on the photos for a larger and clearer view :)
If you still can't decide which mixer is the best..
no worry, you can try on the "chef-made" flavor too! 

Here come the prosess of making...after order the worker stick the details of your choice on a bowl then mix with the ingredients..bring to the blender and add in nitrogen..

The awesome moment definitely is when the gas grow like magic!

Jjang~! See the gas grow like cloud...so dreamy feel haha! :POkay...after the long wait finally is my turn...My choice: step 1:ice-cream base, step 2: coffee java chips, step 3: almond slices topping.(Cutie a.k.a small size) Done! 

OoH my...taste like...Baskin robins? Oppss haha! Try it yourself maybe? ;D
