Mrs. Beetlejuice

I don't know if you guys know this but I love Tim Burton. I really, really do.
Oh, by the way - I'm just gonna say this real casually - I've met him.

I can't really tell if it is him that I love or his work, but since I never got the opportunity to get to know him, I guess we can a…

Tea & Cake at China House, Penang

I finally had the chance to visit China House cafe in Penang - and yes, it took me this long to step foot in there, which is unbelievable because I go to Penang multiple times a year. This place is famous for its decor and charm and its huge selection of cakes, and, well, I'm into cakes, so it…

Manchester United x Adidas: A WAG (of Fan Version)

PS: Did you know the walls of each room/space in my house have different colours? But they work…

Hijab With Earrings + My Favourite Jumpsuit. Ever.

I kind of thought I wouldn't ever be comfortable wearing earrings with hijab — or perhaps it's simply because I never tried. Then again, I haven't seen a pair of earrings that I feel I musthave in so, SO long.  That is, until I saw these delicate long ones with triangle ends in Aldo. N…

Eid al-Adha Abaya Dress + Happy Birthday Malaysia!

Non-fussy for this year's Eid al-Adha, or Hari Raya Haji as we call it here - I didn't even bother to wear contact lens, which is unusual for me. I had on this embroidered and bejewelled abaya dress (that I bought during that luggage-less trip to Shah's hometown, remember that story? *…
