Behind Fleurs

It's been a hella long time since the last "updates" post I realized as I was scrolling through my dashboard. Hence, I thought I give you a low down on what's been going on since then and what better time to type this out than on the day I get my A level results! So since graduating from doing A levels, I had to do a lot of independent living because it is inevitable no matter what next step I decide to do. This basically means a lot of adulting like getting a part time job to fill some time and learning how to cook properly (or at least to fill my stomach). I won't go too much into this but might consider doing a more detail post on it another time. July gave me a lot of time to think and contemplate too about myself. I even got to catch up with a ton of some old close friends which I'm pretty grateful for as I got to learn a lot of things about further education so if any of you are reading this; thanks for your funny stories and wisdom, it ...

Part of the overwhelming "foodie" percentile, I have been eating at a variety of places particularly last year because I consider it stress relieving to try something new and I am more than happy to practise that. To stay true to finding materials on what I be interested to write about, I took tons of pictures when I remember to. Surprisingly I've garner quite a bit of a gallery over a couple months and I'm excited to share these restaurant faves. Your welcome. Socialize Cafe Spotted as you roll straight into Metro Town, its another addition to the growing cafe and barista industry here in KK. While they mostly offer western food with the usual assortment of coffee and tea varieties, I usually come here for brunch with my family or friends. I highly recommend you go for their breakfast options; my all time must have being the Eggs Benedict dish but you can also have your egg scrambled or sunny side up or poached for its other choices. Coming here after an e...

Hi everyone, it's been awhile I know. I am currently in the middle of my trials and we have a day off tomorrow before we finish up another two days of test so I thought I just do some speedy typing and let you all know what's been up in my life. In case you didn't know, places like Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and others are currently weighted in mist and hence they are force to close down schools and the radio is going off about taking precautions as this phenomenon is detrimental to our health. Here in Sabah however seems mostly unaffected though the mountains are a lot harder to spot with a veil of fog or mist. I'm not too sure. Hence days lately seems cool and hardly sunny, in other words it is almost the "perfect nap time" weather here.  For the past month, I've have spent a lot of time meeting friends and new people before my trials. Especially they all came back because they had school break and it was really good to catch up over a meal or a m...

Hi guys, this is my second post to the college collab I'm doing with Denise so be sure to check her out too and lets get this started: 1# It's fine to not be fine I am naturally a more laid back person than hard working. Particularly because I was encouraged a lot to work hard at my studies and being a person who lets reverse psychology work on her, I tend to not heed that advice. This in turn was responded with more severe pressure and nagging that I could not deal and it made me sick and anxious and at one point pretty depress in the worse way. Now with going through a transition where I bear more responsibilities, I find myself really beating myself up. If anything college, pre-uni or university teaches you, its that you'll definitely meet people who are way better than you at the start of your first semester. You may have been top whatever in your high school but its another story in tertiary studies. So it really brought me down when I find I was no where clos...

In collaboration with my girl, Denise, from Down The Yellow Brick  , we're a college theme posts so look out for them. We are revving to blog and we hope you enjoy them despite being so off the radar due to life and school. But let's get started. To be specific, I take A-level Science here in Kota Kinabalu and we have to wear a school shirt as a uniform. Aside from that though their is very free rein on pants and clothes. Its not really college per say but its still considered Pre-University so I still understand what kind of clothes you needed to get through the semester. Though the outfits you see here aren't my daily wear to school but I got some approvals from friends who go to college and managed to style up some looks based on general dress codes you may face at your college or university. Hence it's all very doable. This would be my first outfit post so I'm a complete amateur at this and at being the model for once as I don't feel I am at all photogen...

I've just finished trial exams and so here's me blog rejuvenating over the emotional tense I've been feeling for awhile by giving you guys a quick know how of my life so far. I can tell you there has been considerable selfies in my phone from my carpool gang which includes Cristy there. We go by names like "Dash Express" because the driver's name is really Dash and we have our reality show called "Keeping up with the Dash" in our snapchat and its basically just three girls who means the world to Dash ahaha. By the way, he treats us to pizza too. I helped out with my school Grad Night and even achieved arriving with my girls in individual jumpsuits. Coordination on point. I got to continue most of my jogging sessions with my other gal pals too. Went on a brief but a much needed vacay at Kudat. The beaches and salty breeze is definitely the perfect unwind for me any time. Palm trees were especially a thing for me as they now remind me of my short ...

Hi guys! This is a post on my trip across California couple days after I've just arrived in Seattle from home. It was a trip my older brother, Melvin, suggested and wanted my Mom and I to join. I decided to split this trip into a few post just to give you all some details on the highlights of this trip. So expect some up coming post but maybe not in order as there are still so much I want to share as well. Okay here we go! I've had always heard about Cali, she's fun, bright and all smiles. Despite the winter weather, Cali gave me the confidence to just bust out in a cotton sweater and jeans alone, no jacket. My only outfit regret is not having the option to walk in sneaks instead of my winter boots. It was like the place was giving me the freedom for more movement, more new outings. This was especially refreshing from the chilly bite in Seattle so obviously I took whatever chance I get to revel in my sun bathing days there. I noticed the small traces of spring. I s...
