I'm a Raw Meat today! 

Pretty much covered with apparels from Topshop today (even my hidden denim shorts)! I matched them with my platform heels and my usual hat. 
Well not that I'm trying to do a campaign to talk about Topshop, but seriously, I'm a Topshop fan! I just love how unique the apparels are and how their creative juice allows them to create new inspiring ways to dress yourself up. Of cos many will complain that those prices tagged on their apparels are too expensive and it's not worth the price and blah blah blah. I'm not loaded. Just once in a while I would buy their apparels and kind of accumulated over the years hence having a whole lot of them in my wardrobe! 

I am a "cheapo" person so I would usually buy those cheap apparels. Of cos same goes to what I wore today! The studded jacket had a price reduction; Jimmy Hendrix's raw cut tank was on sale; hidden denim shorts was bought using a gift card from my friends for my birthday; peace sign stockings from my points accumulated in my member's card. So apparently, I paid half the price for what I had wore from Topshop.

So why Raw Meat? 

It's because I got great apparels that are considered pricey to people around my age, but in my cheapskate ways. Just like raw meats that you bought from the wet market (and cooking yourself later) are way cheaper than those cooked ones from cafes or restaurants or maybe the hawkers. Same thing, you need to go through the hassle to wait for the sales, as well as to prepare and clean up the food. Therefore I'm a Raw Meat!

Anyways, I would like to thank my BFF, Charm, for giving me this "WRECK THIS JOURNAL" book that includes instructions on how you should wreck it! To be honest, I love the book and I kind of feel hesitant to even lay a fingers on it. But, Charm was like, "You got to WRECK IT! And I wanna see it!". So to my dear Charm, I made a short video of how I made my first strike to wreck the first page (randomly chosen)!

Last but not least... Here's my all time favourite song by Black Lips from their 2011 album.
Glad to say that they had collab with Urban Outfitters for this video!

Help I'm Alive

 

Top ∆ H&M
Pants ∆ The Editor's Market

Body Chain ∆ SIX accessories
Andee Black Shoes ∆ Miista

This outfit was taken a few days ago and it's been awhile since I last wore heels. To give it a natural grunge look, I paired my heels with a cosmic pants and a cut-out tank with a bralette beneath. Nothing is complete without any accessories of cos! I added on a body chain with an angular necklace on top of it and a studded bracelet of all gold in colour.

Why I had my title as 'Help I'm Alive'?
Recently I've been reading a lot of tragic news such as the cases of MAS flights MH370 and MH17, then yesterday's, TransAsia Airways GE222 and Air Algerie AH5017 as well as road accidents, natural disasters and life threatening illnesses. My thoughts and heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved ones. This only proved that life is really short and it be taken from you anytime. Therefore having said that, I lived by the quote,"YOLO - You Only Lived Once" and treasure each and everyday while I still can cos you might not know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

Apart from the disasters, there are people whom are lost in their lives and had gone to a dark point which can lead to thoughts of suicide. They felt beaten down by their surroundings, miserable, full of negativity and refused to move on. I feel sad for them. To be honest, I have to admit that I once felt that way before. As alive as we can be, we are stuck; lost. I come to realise that life is so much more than these negative thoughts and overcome from my misery to treasure my life more than ever. I do not want to die in vain, or simply live with regrets. I have dreams and goals in life! So why not divert those negative thoughts and move towards a goal that you can set in life?

My point is, I'm sure unfortunate victim of the disasters have goals and dreams which now remain unaccomplished. Since you are alive and kicking, why not stop pondering on negative thoughts and instead showered yourself with lot of positivity? Of cos you can say 'it is easier said than done'. Take your time to recover from being pessimistic, but I hope that you can treasure your life so that it will not be too late for you to realise that you could have done so much more with your time instead of pondering over the same old thing.
Be glad that you're alive and do seek for help if you need as life is precious!
So here's my YOLO for you!

This is a song by Metric, Help I'm Alive.
