Mum's Memories

So I was scrolling through some 70's inspired looks, vintage accessories and the sort. It then reminded me of Mum's old scrapbook. She keep these pictures that she got from friends back when she started working and I love to look at them occasionally.


When you open the scrapbook, this is the first thing you see. And the two couples you see here were drawn on, by whom Mom can't remember but its drawn really well. Remind me of those old retro movies.


Most of her pictures were of her colleagues and that were a lot of photos of guys in the album than girls. Most picture also have there own captions by them. Its really quirky and this was when Mom was rocking the straight bangs look and was a natural in front of the camera.


Here is a photo of Mum and colleagues. Most of the picture of her have her wearing really nice dresses or high-waisted skirts with cute blouses. Some totally look vintage and I wish I could have some of them. In those day, Mum had those dresses tailored as it was the cheapest to get clothes. Mum and I sometimes share similar taste in clothes so seeing how she dress then really made her one of my fashion inspirations. This was them hanging around at Prince Philip Park.



Candid Mom!


Mom looks kinda whimsical here.


This is my favorite picture out of the scrapbook and I like the caption to it too. Can you spot Mom?



There are also some pictures of relatives and family. 


And ending this post with this picture! Sorry if there not that clear, I tried to take a better picture and this was the best. Till the next one!

Tune Favourites

Double posting yeah! Feeling pretty motivated so straight after my very recent post of my trip to La Holla, here is another post on some of the songs that got me feeling some good vibes for the past 2 months I've been in the US until even now. You all also get an idea on my kind of music which is pretty eclectic as some of those who I violated with my playlist over the radio would know. Along with what I think of the song as well as a bit of info on it, hope you guys check em' out and see if you like them! 1. Blank Space/ Style (Taylor Swift Mashup) by Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson This is my current on repeat song that I only discovered just couple days back and this song got 4 million views on youtube.

Nothing but soft classic yet original tunes and perfect harmony that ...

2021 Update

     Hi readers if I still have any. I know its been two whole years since my last one and the reasoning the same. I am still doing my degree and technically in my final semester but with everything going on right now I am still the same girl with new different things to be anxious about. I am not sure if this means I am back on the blogging grind but I weirdly still feel a need to update on where I am, where you could find me more if not this blog and it felt like the mood to write this came and I jumped on it.     So I am right now trying to do my best with doing my final stretch of degree on a virtual online platform and my weakness for getting things done and time managing hit me so hard. Not being able to be where my family is right now in Sabah has caused tons of different strains no one is prepared for but I want to leave you all also things I am doing to do to try work on it. I am taking therapy (it has been hard work but its definitely relieved my emoti...

Spotlight: Beauty Edition

I am back home and having spent almost 3 weeks blissfully chilling and eating, I thought I share some beauty products that I've been loving recently. For cleanser , I really do enjoy this one for removing my make up. I won't say its something you can count on to take a completely BEAT face off but if you typically don on light makeup (me on the daily), this does the job. I really wanted to try be environment friendly by avoiding make up wipes as much as I can and I can't use cleansing oils because I have no hot water back in the hostel to really get that off. Hence, I gave this a go and its a bliss to massage into the face. I've been trying this thing I read from W Magazine that's a Japanese technique to cleanse as well as rinse for a couple minutes each to really clean out your face with gentle cleansers. So this product was perfect to also implement that and easy to rinse out as well. When I wanted to be more gentle to my skin, I worried that product...
