De 10 a 60 Ans

One of my favourite shoots of all time has got to be Vogue Paris' editorial with Hungarian model Eniko Mihalik for 'De 10 à 60 Ans'. These 6 photos show her age from one decade to another and I find it absolutely amazing how physically possible this all is, if you have the right lighting, pose, hair, make-up and photography angles, you can completely transition yourself from a 10 year old to a 60 year old. 

Although have to say, she looks a bit too good for a 60 year old! xP 

Photographer: Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin

Model: Eniko Mihalik

Stylist: Carine Rotifeld

Make-up: Lisa Butler

Sticker Photo Fun! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ プリクラ~!

One thing that I miss doing in Hong Kong, and despite my growing old age, is taking sticker photos! Although it may seem incredibly childish if you're not familiar with these, its immensely fun and really unleashes your creative side! I managed to take a lot with a variety of people this year, and I'm glad I got to introduce such a concept to my only white friend in HK from uni, Ryan! xP Have to admit though, this 'activity' is not completely suitable for guys... especially those from abroad (including BBCs/ABCs etc.), coz you know, they need to keep their masculinity in tact..

After studying Japanese for year, I found myself understanding more of the options that are given in these purikura machines.. although it's not that hard to understand anyway, I like the fact that I actually know what I've selected.. haha!

Good times indeed!

Went to 海港城 (Harbour City) in TST today and decided to venture into the LV Store there. 

Came across this Monogram Vernis Zippy Purse.

And fell in love. 

Absolute Beaut. 

Tis mine. ;) 

Miliyah Kato x Shimizu Shota (清水翔太×加藤ミリヤ)

This made me incredibly excited when I found out that duo Miliyah Kato and Shimizu Shota have teamed up again for another catchy collab -- BELIEVE, a song conveying the power of love and how they will overcome anything if they believe in each other. ;) 大好き！＜３

It's been almost a year and a half since they released Love Forever and it's about time they musically hooked up again! ;) Check it outtt!




And for Miliyah Kato fans, she's recently featured in July's version of SCawaii! ;)

Miliyah Kato's single Desire/Baby!Baby!Baby! is expected to be dropped on 13th July 2011 so mark that date downn! ;) However, the pv for those have already been released and I'm loving Baby!Baby!Baby!

Hong Kong

Current Hong Kong Time of writing: 13:07 

Current UK Time of writing: 06:07

I've been in Hong Kong for two weeks now, and I have to say nothing much has changed since I was last here, which was a year ago. It has now gotten to the point where it feels I've never left Hong Kong! Last year, I was so determined to blog EVERYDAY about my daily antics, but after posting the first two days of my visit, I gave up! haha  So this year, I aim to be less optimistic, but post at least once each week! But it seems I've already failed! HA! 

What's different this time about my trip, is that this has been the first time ever that I've come back so early in the year! Normally, June time would still be exam and school time, but since being a uni student, I have come to optimise the use of my mega long holidays! xP

But anyways, I notice that I sometimes write too much and it drags down my blogging morale.. so consequently I give up half way and leave it sitting in drafts most of the time. So I think I'm just going to post pictures and leave that do the talking! xP

Mindful of Cravings

I say to myself every year, 'whats the point in going to Hong Kong, when you're not going to eat?' -- yes, Hong Kong has the best food in the worldd, and it would be foolish to miss out on them if you're only here for a short period of time!

During my first semester at uni, I managed to lose a whole stone just by getting through the day with one meal.. -- and no, I wasn't trying to be anorexic (don't be silly! I'm the furthest away from being anorexic!!) it was literally how it worked out with my intense timetable. On most days, I would have a 9am and sometimes wouldn't finish till 6pm (and they say 1st year is meant to be easy!?! o_O) which meant I wouldn't get home till 7pm cause I live so far away! And that was probably the only time I had the chance to eat a proper meal. Therefore this weight loss wasn't completely intentional!
In a way, I was glad this was happening coz I've been told most of my life that I need to lose weight, but on the other hand, I knew I wasn't getting the nutrients that I needed and I'm not losing it the way you should be.. >_<

But now uni has finished, I feel as though I've gained all that weight back again because essentially I've been on two holidays so far! Paris was full of good yet expensive food, but Hong Kong is full of amazing yet CHEAP food! So just as a consolation, I tell myself it would be a waste of a holiday if I didn't eat anything... haha

I probably wrote a similar post last year on this.. I guess I did fulfil one of my wishes -- to lose weight at uni! haha! Oh wells -- I'll just say this again, I'll lose it at uni! xP

and just to make you all feel jealous..

too full from my Korean BBQ! xP 

Looking at these now.. I seem to have had more Japanese food than anything else! xP 

will update more on my travels soon! =))
