Heidi Sliman's London teenage portfolio for dazed & confused January. speechless when i see this one.
last day of 2008, i am sipping wine and still working.
too many great things happened to me in 2008, i can't appreciate more.
miss A miss U, need no say more..

typical beijing winter morning

go to cafe zarah for breakfast has became a ritual for me during the weekend it locates at the gu lou (drum house) area, the oldest neighborhood in beijing the cafe is rebuild from a very old house

first thing i do is checking out my 2 friends whitie and furry at the back alley of the cafe
(in fact looking thru the attic window at the back of the cafe)

i crave for their breakfast every weekend, jam, nutella, croissant, cappuccino...

this year, i gave it to someone special

walking at hou hai park on boxing day... i got the best xmas gift ever this year! i cherish the day and reminds myself that life is wonderful.. and unexpected..

enjoy every moment and be thankful for every breathes you takes...believe in yourself, believe in change, believe in love, and believe in your dreams. Tinkerbell is always right besides you and listen to your wish.. just believe...

pillow talk in forest

got these cute cute pouches from anthropology then i was bored on sunday morning and started to put stitches on them. once start, i can never stop, then i put stitches on my favourite pillow...life is good when its easy and slow....

my version of ace ji hotel...


number (n) ine version of ace ji hotel...
this is what kwannam gave me as xmas gift...

the greatest love

tears came from my eyes this morning when i opened the DHL parcel. it's my boss florance's big day invitation. i already expect mr lau will make figures but this is really out of my expectation... the red shoe lace, the black lau and whit flo, the white af1 and red heel, the eye to eye face to face post... this is pure love and only people who know each other so well, so transparent, so honest and open to each other would have this insight.
i am so happy for flo and mr lau.
dreams will come true, keep your faith and think positive.

mary kate ji suede bag


e*ma ji suede bag from tokio 7

thank you kwannam! you are always right....

forget me knot

i got this new annick goutal scent from san francisco and it smells like barney's during x'mas. i have been in love with annick since i tried the petite cherie on first time at joyce. oh, that was like ages ago, i was still in magazine paying my beauty editor's duty, testing and wearing all kinds of perfume..... it was hella fun and life was so simple back then....
the ring i got from fredflare is only 5 bucks, but the shipping cost cost me like 20, oh well.. then I saw the same ring at pioneer square in portland for 140! I was like, what da ??? but it turned out was made of 18K gold and the one i have is just a plain bronze knock off...
but i really love the name of the ring.. forget me knot.. forget me not, or put on this knot ring then forget about me...

HAU IN

just 21, so fresh so in.

what was i doing when i was their age?

why didn't i have this kind of vision and ambition?

i guess start young is totally rite, cos time flies and when you look back, you just gonna say good bye ai ai to the things that you really like...

je suis tres content

the 10 weeks was amazing. i have complete my dream in nyc, we did it again kwannam! i still can't believe we did it. but look back the photo that we took 2 yrs ago and compare to the one we took this time... you haven't change a lot, me changed.

portland is wonderful, i think that's because ace hotel is here, just give some sparkles to the city... i don't know why i am so in love with this hotel...

you can tell me if you have been to there....

porcelain

i always think anthropologie is like sister (or soccer mom) of urban, but i am so happy find this two lovely porcelain peacock plate and birdy case for just $10 and $3.75! the birdy case so tiny i can keep my little secrets in, wax sealed it and no one will ever know i hide something in there....

papa smurf is my screensaver

kaws smurf! thank you e for the kick-ass piece!

da la da la la la ` la la la la la !

award for your wall

i remember how excited i was the first time i went to urban. i even bought 2 butterfly chairs from their chelsea store and hand carried it back to hk. urgh.
got this for 32 bucks and thank god its made in india cos i don't wanna carry made in china stuff back to china...
i know i know, its kinda cliche now to have this but just like kwannam said in nyc when i was not sure about the bag from tokio 7, " nee will always remember this is from new york, buy la!".
this is to remind myself later on that what a happy girl i am in portland. i am going to hang in my bedroom, so i can smile at it every morning before i head out to the smookey beijing city.

kenny & zuke's, portland

weekend brunch with mag & rex at kenny & zuke's next to ace hotel.

i am awwwwed by this baby's harry porter glasses and the buffalo jackets.

alice in wonderland

i have been obsessed with the story since i was five. it was the disney i watched over and over until i found the original story book and have been fasinated with the illustrations by John Tenniel.

found this lovely plates from urban outfitter, size is just right to put my key and only 8 bucks! there were bigger plates with the cheshire cat but just too big to carry home. they just perfect with the spoon necklace i got from urban.

i am totally feel for alice, 'down the rabbit hole' and going on an adverture into the unkown...
