Foolish Smile

A foolish smile/grin can come from anything like a bag, random hot guy at the mall, a good gossip, some unfortunate incident (looking back), an accomplishment or a silly joke, but mine usually came from music. And, most of those music came from cute musicians, whose music I adore even more.

Well you see, I have this habit of waking up almost every hour in the wee of the nights, so, that's why I have a clock (no alarm clock needed!) with light switch, and my MP3 player on my nightstand. Sometimes, I would fell asleep listening to music, so, when I did wake up in the middle of the night, I have John Mayer or Jason Mraz in my ear to sing that 'lullaby'.

So far there are ONLY 4 musicians that made me have this somewhat daunting calmness which would eventually lead to a foolish grin on my face like a mad person. You folks might think, that I've lost my marbles...the thing is...I never had those marbles in the first place!! Haha! Oh, please, I bet there are times when u guys smiled all of the sudden while listening to music, reminiscing about the yesteryear!

The first musician is Michael Buble' - 'Kissing a Fool'

The second; Jamie Cullum's 'What a Difference a Day Made'



The third; Jason Mraz's music (If it's live..it's even better!)



The last one is music by Snow Patrol

So, now you know....

Dude, my graduation was like awesome, man!!

Hahaha. I have never been more prouder to be a Mass Comm graduate than the actual day I've retired from it. Gosh, I think Mass Comm students are living in their own world or something, we cheered, laughed, teased at people's names (damn u, those guys behind me! rude but hilarious!), almost cried, and above all, we had tremendous FUN! It has been the most liberating moment of my life.

Yes, now we secured the reputation of being the loudest and cheerful bunch of them all in UiTM!- Cool!

Congrats, y'all!

Must Watch: The September Issue

My..oh..my, Anna Wintour a.k.a 'Ice Queen', got to be the most decisive lady in the world of fashion. I've imagined she would be as cold, distant and irritating as Meryl Streep character in 'The Devil Wears Prada', turns out she's quite a witty lady, kinda like what my first impression of Victoria Beckham after seeing; 'Victoria Beckham: Coming to America', who also turns out to be quite amusing besides her awkwardness to be normal/common. If you like fashion, which I happen to adore, then, this would be entertaining to you. After watching this flick, I somehow wanted to be more like Grace; the Vogue's Fashion Director. Her work is bizarre and profoundly creative. Take a gander, if you can, although, if you're not a person who's into fashion magazines. P.S: Personally, I'm an 'In Style' magazine kinda girl. BUT, I adore Vogue's fashion spread most of the time anyway!

Trendspotting Fall 2009

After much reading and flipping-through, I have compiled a list of what's HOT for Fall 09.

1. Leopard print. - Don't go overboard with it, a hint to your outfit will do. Just enough to put that wild edge to your outfit.
2. Metallic. - Sequins and metallic is not only for night time anymore. Always do it with subtlety. Use with caution. You won't want to end up looking like a disco-ball. This trend will give u that uber-chic city girl look.
   
3. Bold Jewelry. - Think oversize and over-the-top. But must keep the outfit at minimal tone. Try this season's 'Bib' necklace a'la Very Wang (above).
   
4. Contradicting Print. - I've seen the first lady of America incorporating this in her day wardrobe. And, I'm loving it. Suddenly, Betty Suarez is a fashion icon.
   
5. Booties. - Yes, I'm loving this. But, given that most days in Malaysia is scorching hot. I'll have to pass it. Nonetheless, I love the edgy and downtown feel it contributes to the wardrobe.
   
6. Hardware. - Let it be on your clothes or accessories. But, don't over do it. Or else you'll be looking like a tragic country singer.
   
7. Accentuated Shoulders. - Yes, inspired by the Jetsons craze. It's also a modern twist to the massive shoulder pads of the 80's. It gives you a certain depth and structure.
   
8. 50's Vibe. - Thanks to the success of 'MadMen' series, they're bringing 50's dapper, suave, prim, sleek, curves and above all, sexiness to the 21st Century.
9. English Country. - Think earth tones. It's a sure shot for Fall season. Think plaids, tweeds, knits, leather and turtlenecks.
   
10. Jewel Tones. - Jade, Sapphires, and Emeralds tones. Diamonds are not only a girl's best friend anymore.
