Cotton Blazer
Went shopping like crazy in a month.. got 2 pairs of trousers – black straight leg and metallic wool/silk officewear from Massimo Dutti, a black striped skirt from Zara, high-waisted skirt from Ben Sherman, 3 shirts from Ben Sherman – the shirt that fits me perfectly! (green chancery lane, white tux and floral city life), 1 patent leather blue heels (peep-toe) from Vincci +, 1 red patent leather heels (open-toe) from Charles and Keith, 1 Ipanema flip-flops by Gisele Bundchen (my favourite model) but the best purchase is my cotton blazer from Zara. It’s perfect – casual/smart top that goes with anything. And the material is perfect for this weather. In London I would have purchased at least an additional item to the wardrobe a week. Since I haven’t been shopping since I came back, I guess that this 11 items; sort of make up for my last 11 weeks! I remember the last time I shopped was on my birthday. The new look that is so me…
The grey cotton blazer on the far left and a skirt with the exact same material to the tube dress is in my wardrobe.
Below is the look that I love – from Chloe but it’s Tweed hence not suitable for the climate.
Objectivism
I’ve never heard about this author – Ayn Rand – until it was suggested by Tun M’s PA.
She is a Russian-born American writer and one of her most successful book which turned into a movie is Fountainhead. Her book is mostly centred to a philosophy called “Objectivism” because it is based on the premise that reality is an objective absolute. One must perceive and understand reality to survive. One’s highest value should be one’s ability to reason. This also manifested in the way Rand viewed her own life, not through feelings but through her interest in ideas and her thinking.
I think it is mainly influenced by her environment and the time she was brought into this world. She witnessed the Russian Revolution and the social upheaval, during which his father found work only in a Soviet store. Hence, why I feel that her emotional side is “damaged”.
Anyway, Fountainhead at the first instance your mind would say – THICK (> 700 pages!). The book is about three people: a Modern Architect who loves his work more than money or himself, his friend who has not the necessary talent but, at first,knows how to give public what they want; and a newspaper columnist who perhaps understands everything that is going on around, but uses his knowledge as he wishes, which is not necessarily the best decision. The Fountainhead argues that the worst kind of people is the “second-handers”, people who are ruling and supporting our society, sacrificing their inner self-respect for the sake of their outer ego. Overall, this work is terrific, it can be read both as philosophically challenging novel and serious but entertaining book. And it is great in both.
It even make me want to see if “Howard Roak” exists in this modern world.
Dubrovnik
A place in Croatia that I’ve always wanted to go but never got the chance to before I returned to Malaysia. To me from the looks of it, it has amazing views and the island is just breathtaking. I’ve always thought that the Greek islands are beautiful with their white facade overlooking the sea. But Dubrovnik to me is another under-rated place which is full of surprises. Just like my discovery of Poland – which is now one of my top favourite places visited. 
The closest I’ve been to is a restaurant discovered by my dad in Solaris, Mont Kiara. It’s not too expensive like the hotel with much better taste. Try the Peka although you need to pre-order them as they need to cook the meat for a good 3 hours!
Elegance and understated sophistication underline the Continental nature of Dubrovnik and its patron.
Jinjerup
My old school friend actually put her talent into something marketable and now she has a side-business that is doing so well and sold all around the world. She sells prints! You can buy her prints and get it printed on anything via cafepress.com. The patterns are so her as that was what she does best and enjoys. Well done! Hope you don’t mind that I put it up here.
Good things come in small packages
Eve Taylor pre-blended face oil is not like other facial oil. It works on my oily skin. It gives you the perfect moisture without being too oily or suffocating your skin. What more it gets rid of blemishes! It has been ages since I’ve been looking for a product that works. With this climate in Malaysia, it’s difficult to find a face moisturiser that doesn’t turn your face into a frying pan ready for eggs to be fried.
All in 1 bottle – it moistures and medicates and yes… it has a nice scent. Just 2 drops and it works like magic! It comes Face Oil No.1 to No. 5 depending on your skin type.
Recession Bling
Bought 6 pairs of earrings in the span of an hour and was contemplating getting this colourful chunky cocktail ring – but decided not to. Was browsing through my unsual net-a-porter.com and found this unusual but very beautiful ring collection by Rings Eclectic. And this particular one is called the Recession Bling! Yes it says it all – no matter what time of the year it is… there’s no excuse for no bling.

Louise de Bernieres – A Partisan’s Daughter
My latest book that I read – my LRT books. I have 2 type of books - one for serious readings at home before I sleep and the other while I’m ‘on-the-go’. This explains the need for me to always carry a big handbag to fit all my neccessities that cover entertainment, music, looks and diary.
Anyway, this book is hilarious and brilliantly funny but made me cried in the end. A story about an unlikely love that blooms from 2 most oddly couple met by chance. The way the book was written is for you to be in the mind of both. Throughout the book, they were playing a game with each other. One keeps thinking about what the other person might think and try to hide from what we truly feel. This book manage to bring all that out for us to experience. Also, the sarcasm that were thrown to each other were brilliant. Good fun to read.
