IKEA SHOPPING (part 1)

Last night, after work, I went to Ikea with Jerry. What we bought for the new house is only lighting system and a mirror.


this chandelier is for the living room.



We bought this light to be put in the dining room. since the feature wall is dark grey, i think this light is suitable to complement the style.

LADY BOHO

A blend of boho and exoticism makes for a breezy, easy spring trend...ethnic embroidery and bold prints blend with beautiful bangles to complete the look.

well, actually I'm not a fan of BOHO. i just received my style feeder today and the inspirational look was BOHO. here are those BOHEMIAN style that i liked and picked if i were to wear it.

And... yea why not some bangles too.

Home inspirations

home decor, home interior design has always been the topic that i will sear h for online. if its not about decorating, it will be about the mistkaes we make designing our home. and also, please throw the clutters away as we don't really need them. for example, if your cloth is not worn for 6 months or more, throw it away or even better donate it to the charity. there are a lot out there who do not any cloth to wear.







the living room... most comfortable place to entertain guest to your home.







A bedroom is a place in a home that a person spends an average of 5 to 8 hours each day. If you think a little at this, you’ll find out that actually you spend a lot of time in the bedroom. It is a place you can unwind and relax at the end of a long hard day, whether taking an occasional catnap or sleeping at night, a bedroom has to be as comfortable as possible. these are bedroom inspirations that i got while browsing through freshome.com

Why do men love bitches? From Doormat to Dreamgirl

i went on browsing emmagem just now, and read this article. and i love it..

Ever heard of the term, nice girls go to heaven …it is apparently true… . Nice girls die of heartbreak early in life and don’t get the men they want, at least by the standards of Sherry Argov. Okay, it’s another one of those gem of a book that emmagem couldn't’t resist. No, it’s not just another book on dating, bored yet or shall we continue…..

What is the biggest mistake most women make in life? They overcompensate. Too sweet, too kind, too giving, way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, cook him a four course meal, buy him an anniversary gift, don’t stay up too late cos’ he doesn’t like it, the list goes on and on….

Well, Sherry recommends on the first date, just serve him popcorn, because men really can’t tell 4 course or 5 course, all he knows is that he wants to get you into the sack. Don’t be too eager to please or else he would think there isn’t any mental challenge. Mental challenge according to men isn’t about debating the world economic forum but really it’s just how needy she appears to him. Men like women with a bit of edge, kind of like “steel magnolias” flowery on the outside and hard on the inside. Bitch is therefore synonymous with mental challenge according to Sherry’s research. Women with a little je na sais quoi, that something special!

This book attempts to define bitch as men would and addresses issues that men won’t. For instance he would NEVER say , “please don’t be a doormat “, “don’t always say yes”, “don’t revolve your world around me”. He’ll just take and take and then RUN!

The secret to success in love and in relationships is not with dressing sexily or faking orgasms! It also isn’t about age, or looks or figure but about self-esteem. The “bitch” is therefore defined as an empowered woman who derives tremendous strength from the ability to be an independent thinker, particularly in a world that still teaches women how to be self-abnegating. This woman doesn’t live by someone else’s standards, only her own.

Here, here, this is a book after emmagem’s own heart!

Play by no one else’s rule, feel confident, free and empowered….

The bitch is not someone rude and abrasive. She is polite but clear. Here are ten characteristics of a bitch:

She maintains her independence.
She doesn’t pursue him, she does not keep tabs on him. He is NOT the center of her world
She is mysterious. There is a slight difference between honesty and full disclosure.
She leaves him wanting, doesn’t leave long messages. Men equate longing with love. Longing is good, for them.
She doesn’t let him see her sweat. She doesn’t communicate when she is upset.
She remains in control of her time, she moves to her own rhythm.
She maintains a sense of humour.
She places a high value on herself, when she receives a compliment, she says thank you.
She is passionate about something other than a man. Stay busy.
She treats her body like a finely tune machine. Keep fit and feel good.
Interesting little tips are given in this book as to how a “bitch” would handle a man.

The bitch wouldn’t show care if a man calls 4 hours later then he promised and she would be too busy to notice and may or may not pick up the phone. She also knows who is the boss of herself, HER. She doesn’t obsess over his opinion of her or need his approval. She has her own priorities, values and preferences. A woman looks more secure in a man’s eyes when he can’t pull her away from her life. A bitch waits half an hour and makes other plans if a man is late for a date and didn’t call. How to let the man thinks he is the top dog and still run the show!

She won’t sugarcoat anything and is direct about her preferences, there is nothing childish about her, she will communicate when she is ready and at her own terms, she notices a man’s disrespect and instantly and without hesitation calls him on it. And she never does anything that she is uncomfortable about. She meets him on a level playing field.

The Bitch = A Desirable Woman = Increased Respect

Basically this book is really about a woman who has dignity and is not afraid to love herself and be loved for her self. The bitch while soft and feminine has quiet dignity and would not be manipulated and she is kind. She will not be defined by what other people think whilst seeking input and information, she will decide who she is. She is defined from within. From taste in clothes, needs in relationship right down to choice of occupation…a bitch decides for herself and defines herself by her choices.

when we were to think of it, why should we impress guys? shouldn't we just impress ourselves enough to make us happy? life is short you know... it is not enough to be someone else, and it is just enough to be the way we are and just enough to improve or sharpen our bluntness. do ponder what will we be if we don't improve ourselves. cut it out, when saying to a person "you motivate me" it is not them who motivate you, but you should be motivated because of yourself!

Who is Mr. Right?

Dear Fellas,

Who is your Mr. right? Finding Mr. right isn't easy, right? does Mr. right really exist? is he he really out there waiting for you? He is a subject for many women and an inspiration of hope on a daily basis. He is one of our goals, aims, ambitions and desires small and large. I'm always wondering and pondering who will it be. but then, why does he have to exist? being the standards of all our hopes to be.

The fact of the matter is that as the decades have passed by, we have become far more sophisticated, as humans, as individuals, as lovers and mates. We know how to orgasm, we have a good salary and a nice home and are well educated in the ways of the world. Therefore it is only fair that we seek someone to match, to fit in, to adapt, to accompany, to facilitate. And there lays the issue. Issues why we can't be with this one particular person that we thought Mr. right would be.

are we waiting for Mr. right to find us or we ourselves going out to find Mr. right? well, waiting for him doesn't really appeal to me. why wait? we have to find of course. because Mr. Right is looking for his Miss Right? How much work have you put into being Miss Right or should he accept you as you are and fit in around you? If he did slot in to your life would he really be Mr. Right or an accoutrement, an asset, a trinket that you would get bored of?

As a potential Miss Right you owe it to yourself to complete a few tasks. Take a long hard look at your list and ask yourself exactly how flexible you are being. Secondly look at who your Mr. Right is and how truthfully obtainable they are. Thirdly, don't kid yourself about your own potentials but don't compromise on ideals either. Fourthly, bring yourself out into the open and go after your Mr. Right.

Don't play the waiting game because you do not want to spend the rest of your life knowing your Mr. Perfect is married to someone else when he could have been yours. And finally, compromise is the key in reality, for all the things Mr. right must be, try and balance that with attempting to be something your Mr. Right doesn't want to miss.

Tiers and Architectural Neutrals

Dear gentle readers,

Looking for an alternative to colorful prints? Look for tiered ruffles and architectural silhouettes that rely on shape rather than shade to create major drama.
hehe... i like this. bored with my old clothes already.


She's loving…Architectural neutrals
Taking the tiered trend one step further, look for dresses, skirts, sweaters and coats that look like they may have been created by an architect rather than a seamstress. With built-in structure, flowing lines, or interesting draping, you won't need a color to liven up these inherently fascinating pieces.










She's loving…Tiers
Tiers are everywhere for spring, as layers of ruffles make appearances on dresses and skirts, from high-end to Hollister. To avoid looking like a wedding cake, keep colors neutral, look for dresses in body-skimming shapes and pair voluminous skirts with a fiited top.













I LOVEY LOVEY THIS COLLECTION. SICK OF PRINTED GARMENTS? OPT FOR NEUTRALS WITH TIERD OR ARCHITECTURAL NEUTRALS. CAN SEE VICTORIA BECKHAM STYLE FOR REFERENCE. HEHE
