expired travel diary: Shen Zhen, China.

picture credits to Ben Chong.

Finally! A travel diary from me, hahahahahaha although it's really really expired.All these pictures were taken a month ago when I went to Shen Zhen. Despite the occasional self caming while eating ice-cream in 8 degrees and pretending to be swinging with Dora the Explorer (I had a lot more but I just decided to upload some 'cause some were a little bit too... over the top. hahahahahahaha) there's ton of other touristy pictures taken by my brother too although we've been to Shen Zhen for like a million times, no hyperbole present since it's like a walk away from Hong Kong. (again, no hyperbole!)

Anyways, I've just finished studying on my History test for tomorrow on World War 1 and I am feeling pretty nervous right now so I came to blog to unwind although I'm not sure how it helps. Wish me luck! ugggggh.

Batman

 

Cape - Uniqlo 

Beige top - H&M

Skinnies - Forever 21

Sneakers -  Converse

what I wore today and totally regretted as I felt as if I was in a walking-oven while shopping and constantly sweating. Apart from that, I felt pretty awesome due to the wings, just like Batman hence the title. This was originally done for the 25$ challenge by thepolishedmonkey.com BUT as usual, I fail in almost everything I do. T________T

The 25$ challenge is basically putting up a whole outfit (top,bottom, shoes and/ or accessories) the challenge started a few days ago and it's ending on the 17th! Having the currency exchange in mind, which basically means that 25$ becomes RM80, I thought- hey, that's gonna be pretty easy!! which again I proved myself wrong. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA. Gonna try this thing again for the next few outfits and for more info on the challenge you guys can click on the yellow icon that I'll put up at the end of this post!!

Also, since the Chinese New Year's coming in exactly a week from today, did my first CNY shopping spree today! Didn't get a whole bunch of stuff as I had hoped but here's today's small pile haul!

Prints.

tribal cropped sweater - H&M

skull hi-low skirt - H&M

skull tattoo leggings - Hong Kong

this was what I wore for the flight from Hong Kong to Hat Yai, and it was me trying the prints on prints thing! Nothing much to say except for the fact that I've finally found like legit tattoo leggings and I super love them!! super comfy and it's so cooooooooool. even the Thai woman asked me this "yuu go dik ko ah?" trust, me I didn't get that too, until someone said "dikkko, dissssko!!"

hahahahahahahahaaahha okay bye, the dreaded Monday tomorrow. Oh God why.

Symsons

Bart sweater - 1997
Turquoise dress - H&M
Polka dotted socks - ?
Maroon creepers - Topshop
Studded backpack - Hong Kong

I don't usually go for the overly-priced stuff from Hong Kong but I actually got my first pair of proper creepers from there for like 199RMB only. AND GUESS THE BEST PART. IT WAS THE LAST PAIR THERE, IN MY SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST LET ME BE HAPPY FOR ONCE OK CAUSE I FEET IS UNUSUALLY LONG SO I DON'T GET MUCH SHOES IN MY SIZE. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEEHHEHE. Wore the H&M dress inside which I got for only 50HKD in Hong Kong!! And no that's still not the best buy 'cause these backpacks. God, I love them so much and guess whut. It's like 180HKD for like super high quality and if I'm not mistaken, they're Topshop inspired too!

Yes, the pretty Bart with eyebags sweater is gonna be sold in 1997 for the next collection when I'm back (same goes to the other stuff that I wore in my other posts) !

excuse me.

graphic sweater - 1997

burgundy skater skirt - 1997

tweed grey jacket - H&M

knee-length knitted socks - Topshop

sneakers - Converse

and that's pretty much my last coordinate for 2012! (actually no, it isn't; I would take me wearing my Christmas pajamas and fluffy bunny shoes as my last coordinate which I shall not post due to it's very embarrassing. harharhar) 

2012 was actually one of the most eye-opening year for me as I've done A LOT of things that I don't think I'll ever be able to do, for example, sponsoring Audrey (fourfeetnine.com) for her wedding and actually being a part of the super magical event although my part was so very tiny was like a huge wow for me already (and this hasn't even include all my other awesome events which I have not blogged about. hahahahahahawtf.) Not only that, for the past of the whole 2012, I've met so many new people and I've gained so many new experiences that I don't think most 15 year olds are able to. 

As for 1997, wow. It started with us 3 girls in Coffee Bean, and now it's.... recognized? (I would use a bigger word but later like very self-praising. hahahahahahaa.) Never really thought that 1997 would actually come this far, it started with us being broke and needing some extra cash so we thought, why not? and now we're actually selling clothes and sponsoring people and having gift aways and all? WHO WOULD ACTUALLY THOUGHT OF THAT OK. And as for this blog, it started with me wanting to make it a blogshop then I got lazy and made it into my personal blog with me talking crap and I got even lazier and ended up posting my daily coordinates for the shop and now I'm getting random emails from people. My hits per day isn't like any other bloggers which means it's very low, unless I actually post it up the page, but I'm fine with it as long as I'm doing something that I actually like doing and as long it's not Maths. wtf.

okay bye I should stop now before I get all touchy touchy. Happy new year, guise and have a great year ahead!

'CRAPPY NEW YEAR'! :D

got it as a gift from Hong Kong! I officially love you more now, Hong Kong although for 90% of the time when I was there I couldn't understand you guise other than when you occasionally say "wait eh momant, Missie"

Looking forward to see you in a few days, Hong Kong and look out for the sudden economic raise when I'm there!! Oh and 1 last time!

XXXIBGDRN

embellished collar top - H&M
cross stitched on shorts - 1997
camo green parka - Hong Kong
polka dotted socks & shoes - ?

saw this parka awhile ago when I was still in Hong Kong and the first thing that popped up in my head was, G-DRAGON. Like in the tonight video! (it was probably only because of the fur and the colour tho 'cause it looked nothing alike when I saw GD's)
anyways here a lesson for you guise, when you've decided to wear a parka based on the weather guy never never never ditch it 'cause it was what I did since I was too lazy to carry it and it dropped to 6 degrees. fml.

ALSO!!! Finally joined Instagram 'cause of the distance from my very lovely people and I felt too out of..... (inserts sad words here)  
Look up for me on Insta, amandactyan!
