My new hobby

Got my first DSLR camera and have been mucking around with it but the thing with cameras is its not as easy as it seems and you have to have the right equipment. Obviously, I cannot afford the lens and any of the accessories except the filter now but slowly I hope I can build up my equipment

(Most of you might be thinking: "lets see how long this hobby can last??" hahah)

Found this great blog site for photography especially for beginners and gives you tips and techniques. Tells you the function of the different lens and equipment and also will just talk about anything useful related to photography. THe best thing it actually uses simple english hence no complicated explanations using jargon

They actually put some photographers blog sites on the page... I love tthose pics ! Hopefully one day I can do something like that

My fav cake!

As born and raised in a Chinese family, I have a Chinese tongue and even as to now, Chinese is my favourite food. Growing up in a Western country, I also have a Western tongue. This comes to difficulty when having desserts!

Having a half western tongue, Chinese cakes, which 90% of the cake is white cream and 10% is 2 miniature layers of chiffon cake and fruits, your mouth is filled with cream when having just a bite. Having a half Chinese tongue, western cakes are way too sweet, rich and thick.

I found just the right cake for me at Zoe situated in Causeway Bay and Happy Valley. Although I am very SUPER dissatisfied with their service, I still go there quite often! I know I should have a firmer stand! Damn it! Wait till I find a better place!

Haven't done a food one for a while and its cakes again! Will do a restaurant one maybe later...

my shoes

Every girl after every purchase love to analyse and reassure themselves they spent their money wisely and therefore come up with more than anything you can think to reason their purchase. This is especially the case for shoes! Why so? Because very often we hear cpmments like.. "Another pair?" "I never even saw you wearing the last pair?" "You only wore it once?" The list goes on....

Here is my analysation on my MJ plastic flats:
1. MJ for price under HKD1300 - thats the cheapest you can get for MJ (note its MJ not M byMJ helllu??)
2. Its silver
3. Its fits on your foot like gloves fits on hands (trust me its that miraculous)
4. Its really comfy
5. It comes with a shiny silver bag
6. The shoes AND the bag is MADE IN ITALY!!
Oh i love them so much!!

Next week later I bought another pair at Zara (Im there no.1 fan)
1. Although its not as comfy and the shape of the head is slightly wonky, the price is ONLY 259!
2. Grey patent is a easy match
3. Love the sling backs how its thick and chunky and love the silver heel too
4. 259 and made in Spain???!??? wat more do you want???
Even if i dont wear it often at least it doenst do heavy damage on my wallet

Conclusion: 2 good purchases hahaahah

PS. I LOVE SHOES !!!!

the cute weather girl

I don't know about you, but I dress according to the weather, especially with the weather in sydney, it's very pleasant most days, but you tend to get 4 seasons in one day. Those lucky melbourne girls have the luxury to have cute weather girl to tell them the weather.

michi girl is a witty and cute weather girl from Melbourne. everyday she tells you the weather and tells you a little anecdote, the recent one reads:

"Clearing shower, 20... Fiction: placing stamps around your waist is in fact an ancient form of dieting. The wearer would simply write the address of where they would like to send their love handles and then wait for the postman to pickup the unwanted package."

love the illustration, too.

time for a michi girl in every city, I reckon!

fashion victim

Every fashion victim dreams of having sth from Chanel but never be able to afford it (maybe just I cannot afford it) Karl has the ability to create looks that is so chic and elegant, simple but yet sophisticated, there is so much detail and you will understand why its priced the way it is.

Since i'm not able to afford anything from Chanel, I tried to create a similar look and try not to do a exact copy. I have gathered all the gold chains available in my jewellery box and wore it all in one go so kinda getting a bundle look. I know its no way comparable to the real thing but I guess without spending any money its the best I can do! Sadly I dont have enough gold chains so the look still need to be refined....

Planning to match it with my high waisted black skirt and a white tee and my silver MJ flats...

I really do have too much time in my hands, I have no where to go but I have a whole outfit in mind ??

PMS

The day that us girls came out of our mother's shell, we are burdened with the fact that sooner or later we will have our monthly visits where there is pain that can never be described or can never be understood by men

This little passage is sent to me by my friend and I jsut cant help but share it here... I can't stop laughing ...

13 things PMS stands for:
1. Pass my shot gun
2. Psychotic mood shift
3. Perpectual munching spree
4. Puffy mid section (tell me about it, no pants fit properly during this time)
5. People make me sick
6. Provide me with sweets
7. Pardon my sobbing
8. Pimples may surface (I reckon its MUST not may)
9. Pass my sweatpants
10. Pissy mood syndrome
11. Plainly men suck
12. Pack my stuff
13. Potential murder suspect !

Anyone think of more? Lets try to continue the list!
