FAVORITE HOLIDAY PICTURES FROM PHUKET

So, I recently took a trip to Phuket and absolutely loved my time there. Here are some of my favorite pictures from holiday. 

Gotta love Thai food

Such beautiful islands

I'm all about the beach life

I will definitely be making another trip to Phuket soon. Absolutely loved it. If you want to see what I was up to for the 3 days there, you can check out the videos down below :)

#1 SUMMER ESSENTIAL: SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses have always been one of my wardrobe essentials. I mean, I collect sunglasses - whether they're $10 or $100. I have quite a large face so, finding the perfect sunnies can be tough at times.

When it comes to summer time, I feel like people whoop out their sunnies more instead of the colder months. For me, even though it's winter, I still NEED sunnies but not when it's completely grey outside. However, I do feel like summer is the most appropriate time to show off your sunnies, especially if you're going on vacation or going to the beach.



I just feel like sunnies add the extra omph to an outfit whether that's a summer dress or a thick jacket. But of course, in my opinion, they work best when they're paired with swimsuit or bikini by the pool or on the beach. 

I'm already dreaming of my upcoming vacation in Thailand!!! So be sure to stay tuned for my vacation post which will probably be up next week as my trip is this Sunday!! Eeek!!! So excited! 

*This post is created in collaboration with Warby Parker* 

In all honesty, I have never heard of Warby Parker. However, when they approached me and had me check out their website and products, I was immediately intrigued. I mean, just look at all the designs!! 

Especially their newly launched "Haskell Flash". I feel like these are the types of sunnies that would make everyone stop what they're doing and look at you. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself :) 

What do you think? Awesome or totally awesome? :) 

SUMMER BUCKET LIST (CHECKED) : LIFE SERIES #2

Even though I am currently living in a hot-climate country, which means I get to have summer all-year-round, I do know that summer is officially over back in the UK and also in the US. I am actually quite sad because Autumn is my favourite season and I'm sure it's a lot of people's favourite season as well :) Just because I get to see the leaves turn from green to orange to brown, I get to experience the change of weather, I get to dress up in fashionable autumn clothing. Just everything really.


Good evening from my side all you lovely people.


Since my "Summer Bucket List" post was such a huge hit, I wanted this 2nd episode of my life series to be about summer and myself. So, I've decided to go through all the things I've listed back in May and check if I've completed my list :D

So, here goes.


1. Wear more dresses [√]

Most of my friends and family know that I'm the type of girl that goes out in a pair of jeans or shorts and a t-shit or a vest. But I actually did wear loads of different dresses over the summer. (Check out the post about my summer dresses in a week post here). I am genuinely proud of myself for doing this.

2. Go for picnics [√]

I feel like I've had quite a few picnics over the summer and I absolutely loved them!

3. Beach [√]

Yes, I don't think I need to list down how many beaches I've been to over the summer. But you can check out my Bali post here and here and also my Krabi post here. I miss being by the beach :(

4. Wear a bikini & feel good about it [√]

Something I never thought I'd be able to do without feeling a teeny bit embarrassed but I rocked it (I think. haha!). I even did a collaboration blog post with ADORE ME about beachwear here.

5. Yoga [√]

6. Eat more fruits [X] 

Although I did do this before I left the UK, I haven't been having fruits as much as I'd like to over here.

7. Hang out more with friends instead of working all day [√]

8. Have deep and meaningful conversations more often [√]

I find that this is very healthy for the brain.

9. Go to the cinema at least 10 times [X]

Unfortunately, I am just too busy to go to the cinemas. Even when I'm back home right now, I can hardly find time to go to the cinema but I have been 3 times here and 4 or 5 times back in the UK over the summer. It's still not 10 times :(

10. Cut down on takeaways [X]

Something really hard to do, unfortunately. It's like asking me not to swear :X

11. Be grateful & proud to have everyone [√]

12. Vlog more [√]

I have actually vlogged over the summer about my trips and what I've been up to. I will upload more videos soon though. You can check out my channel and subscribe here if you want :)

13. Try something new at least twice a month [√]

14. Read a good book. Or two [√]

I've been reading a lot of books over the summer and I think reading might be a new found hobby of mine. I'll be writing a post about my top 3 favourite books soon, so stay tuned for that :)

15. Kiss more [X] 

Well, I can't just randomly run around the streets kissing people, can I? Although, that actually sounds like a challenge I'm willing to accept (haha!)

16. Travel more [√]

17. Love more [√]

18. Spend more time interacting instead of zoning out and daydreaming [√]

Something good I've managed to change about myself over the summer :)

19. Spread more joy and happiness [√]

Well, I make my friends laugh. So, I should hope so.

20. Be more helpful [√]

21. Make at least 2 people smile in a day [√]

22. Write more [√]

23. Meditate in a natural environment [X]

There is absolutely no way to do that here. The sun is scorching hot and the temperature is 35 degree Celcius every single day.

24. Take things easy [X]

Something I'm trying really hard to do but I still can't fully relax when my brain is turned on.

25. Be care-free [√]

It is kind of contradicting but I ticked this box because I learnt to not care what people think of me over the summer. That's what I mean by care-free here (haha!).


I guess I did alright. 19 out of 25. That's pretty good, I reckon.



I hope all of you had a great summer but it's time to welcome Autumn now. Whoop whoop! X

GOODBYE AUGUST!

It's the end of August everyone. 

I, for one, absolutely cannot believe it. Honestly, it feels like time is passing quicker and quicker by the second! And I know I say that a lot, but whenever I close my eyes at night, I could still remember my Bali trip back in June like it was yesterday.

At the beginning of the month, we had the Olympics to look forward to and all of a sudden, it ended. Imagine all the athletes and the Olympians preparing for what could possibly the biggest event of their lives for 4 years and it's all over in a few weeks time.

It literally feels like yesterday that everyone was raving about summer - summer holidays, summer outfits, bikinis, perfect summer bodies, etc., and now, most of the blogs I'm reading are about "Things to Do Before Summer Ends" or "10 Best Summer Outfits in 2016" or "Best Bikini of the Year" or "Best Autumn Outfits You Should Try This Year" or "Say Goodbye to Summer Dresses" etc. I mean, summer is already coming to an end! That's 3 months gone! Honestly, I don't know how I feel about that.

Exciting? 

Terrifying? 

I just don't know. 

But all I can say is, so much have happened in the past couple of months. A very rocky adventure, shall we say. 

I am excited and a bit scared at the same time about what is to come but that's probably the best bit about life, isn't it? The fun and exciting part is not knowing. 

The unknown.

The uncertainty that scares most of us. 

The unpredictable that excites some of us.

I have absolutely no regrets on all the decisions I've made so far. I have enjoyed August thoroughly. I really have. I've been living out of my comfort zone and also doing things that scare the living sh!t out of me. 

Truth be told, I'm enjoying every bit of it :)

RADIO HOST AUDITION

Good afternoon everybody!

I hope you're all having the best weekend ever considering it's a bank holiday Monday tomorrow. Here's to long weekends :D

So, I took a very sudden trip to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday to go for an audition the following day. And I actually just came back from KL yesterday. I am extremely tired because I've been going to KL for two weeks in a row now.

I received a call from TraxxFM (a radio station here in Malaysia) on Monday - asking me to go for an interview/audition on Thursday. Hence, this little impromptu trip.

When I arrived the radio station (which was massive), I had no idea it was an audition at the time because they said it would be an interview. And at the back of my head, an interview will be no longer than half an hour. I went in and saw the word "AUDITION" in block capital. I honestly had no idea what to expect.

So, I was placed in a room with 15-20 people. It was really tensed at first. No one wanted to speak to anyone. It was like a competition and I felt uncomfortable at first. But after an hour or so, we all started talking and bonding, which was really good.

The producers handed us 5 stories in which we have choose 3 of the stories and paraphrase it and talk about it under a minute. All of us had a task of writing and completing a script in 15 minutes. The script had to include an introduction, 3 of the stories, an entertainment news written by yourself, a closing to your show, followed by breaking news. So, 7 talk-sets altogether. It was confusing at first - trust me, I didn't even get what one of the producers were talking about when she was explaining this. But when it came to the time, I sort of knew what they wanted.

They then brought me into the studio where there were 5-6 people watching me from the other side of the glass room. It was nerve-wrecking at first because all eyes were on me and what I was going to say. After a few seconds, I got comfortable with the whole thing, so no biggie.

All in all, it was a completely different experience for me. A good kind of different. I loved it. And this can be something I talk about with my friends while we're sitting in a cafe or whatnot :)

I vlogged most of my trip because I think it would something really nice to look back on next time. You can watch it here if you want to:




Happy Sunday y'all! X


P/S: I want to thank my bro for being there for me the whole time :D 

FAVOURITE HOLIDAY OUTFIT

"What do you feel most comfortable in when you're on holiday? What kind of outfit do you like most when you're going on vacation? Do you prefer comfort over looks?" - These are all the sorts of questions that go through my head when I'm packing for a trip.

Good evening my lovely readers

I hope you're all having a good start to the week so far. In other words, I hope Monday is not being to rough on you :)

As most of you would know, I went on a 3-night holiday last week with my friend. I was just looking through some of the pictures I took from holiday and I suddenly had this post in mind.

Holiday is the time when you can dress up, be outrages and crazy with outfits, put on something you've never dared to put on, etc. because no one knows who you are and no one gives a crap about how you look. If I'm being completely honest, this is one of the reasons I absolutely love travelling.

I have been absolutely loving this summer playsuit from New Look. It's airy and it's colourful - enough said. 

It's very chilled, casual, and comfortable. The 3C's :) This playsuit is my most worn outfit from the holiday and it is also my favourite outfit so far.

Thought I'd add a silly pic of myself at the end to make this post more chilled :)

FAVOURITE POOLSIDE PICTURES

Good evening everyone

I hope you're all having a lovely Sunday so far.

So, I came back from my little getaway just 2 days ago, hence, the absence. But I'm back now and I have some exciting things and stories to share with all of you. But for today's post, I'm going to share a few of my favourite poolside pictures from holiday :)

As most of you would know by now, I absolutely adore beaches. If there is a beach at the place that I'm travelling to, that would be the first on my "to-go" list! However, if there are no beaches whatsoever, pools are the next best thing :)

I just get so relaxed whenever I'm chilling by the pool or having a little dip. I mean, my ideal holiday would be chilling by the pool with a cocktail every now and again whist I'm reading a good book and getting a little tan in my bikini. 

And then, there's the part where I actually get in the pool and swim. I feel like I've rediscovered my love for swimming lately.

For the past couple of days whilst I was on holiday, I've just been chilling by the pool, which is why I've decided to share this post :) I loved every second of it especially because the view from the pool was exceptional!

This is when you know you've found a friend for life - when she is as fabulous as you :D I had such an amazing time! Not only because it was so chilled, but also because I got to meet up with my brother and another one of my closest friends. 

*back to more pictures* 

Happy Sunday everyone! X
