Kinki Ryusaki in Body Art episode of Magseven

Just recently I met Kinki Ryusaki, a very unique character who turns heads wherever she goes. With her long hair and tattoos, she is unforgettable and has made a name for herself in the local tattoo industry and a huge fan base. Have a look at her facebook page and you will see what I mean.

She works at a shop named Bloody Ink at Sungai Wang in KL and it's always busy in there. She is one of the characters featured in the upcoming episode of magseven titled Body Art airing on NTV7 on 

18th Sept 2012 7.30pm.

Here are some pics of the her tattoos.

And these pics were taken while we were shooting her at work in her tattoo studio.

Don't miss this episode ! Kinki shares some really funny stories such as when a client who asked to have armpit hair tattooed into his armpits cause he felt he didn't look man enough with what he had.  We were also a little worried that this episode might not be approved by the Malaysian censorship board but it has been and so now I'm looking forward to seeing it on air. 

Britney Spears learns how to dance Gangnam Style

I found this video today and wanted to share it cause I think it's so cute watching both Britney Spears and Ellen trying to do Psy's Gangnam Style dance routine and I'm surprised that Ellen actually does it way better than Britney !

Gangnam / Kampung Style

This Korean song Gangnam Style has become such a hit and has inspired many parodies. From what I understand, the original song is actually 'making fun' of the lifestyle of those who live in Gangnam in Korea. Click here to read an article explaining it.

I knew it wouldn't take long for Malaysians to catch onto this and sure enough, my friends over at Fly Fm radio have come up with their own version and very suitably named their version 'Kampung Style' !

Have a laugh... :)

Happy Birthday to me !

32 today !

Woohoo!

One of my birthday presents was a 'Chanel' by Zara jacket. Love it! 

Can't wait to wear it !

Anna Dello Russo for H&M

Anyone who has walked around Bukit Bintang area in KL will see that the whole main entrance of Lot  10 shopping centre is currently closed up and being renovated for the arrival of H&M. YAAAAYY!! I have wondered for the longest time why hasn't H&M arrived in Malaysia yet? Well by the end of this month it will have arrived ! Yahoo !

Besides the general stuff they will have at H&M what I cannot wait to arrive is the Anna Dello Russo for H&M collection !!! This larger than life fashion character who loves over accessorising has created an accessories collection which is according to online sources supposed to be launched worldwide on October 4th.

I CANNOT WAIT to see it. I hope I don't want one of everything. I will be so broke ! Bankrupt !

Here is a quick video about her inspirations for the collection.

A fashion pop music video which she has done to launch it.

And the turquoise suitcase set in the first photo is supposed to be part of the collection too.

I really hope it's as great as I think it's going to be.

Victoria's Secret has arrived in KL !

When I heard the brand name I think of the Supermodels who wear wings during the show, the colour pink and very girly, pretty stuff. Last night I attended the launch of the new Victoria Secret store at Pavillion and I loved it.

The stock in the stores is mainly beauty and accessories with items such as perfumes, make up bags and a selection of underwear. 

My little boy who came with me to the event kept looking at all the colourful underwear. Wait my boy. You can find out about all that much later. Hahahahahahahahahahah.... He did want to have his picture taken with Malaysian supermodel Amber Chia. Can so tell Amber is a mummy too from how comfortable she was carrying him.

     

My absolute favourite collection though was everything in leopard print. They had make up bags in all kinds of shapes and sizes and I really wish I could have bought one of EVERYTHING leopard print from the store.

     

The little cupcakes with the Victoria's Secret initials and chocolate covered strawberries made to look like tuxedos were so cute ! It's little details like this that I notice and love.

     

     

Well after scratching my head and wondering which of the leopard print items I wanted, I chose one of the tote bags because I think it's a really sexy, easy to carry bag which can fit all of my baby's stuff in it too when we go out, an ipad cover and a travel adaptor that comes in a leopard print casing. These items also come in other patterns. The travel adaptor also comes in a cool black sequinned case. For those of you ladies who travel a lot, this is a must buy ! Convenient, pratical and in a super stylish case. I wish I had this when I was travelling so much the past few years !

     

And the door gift was this beautiful bottle of perfume. I adore the vintage style design and my sister and I were posing pretending to be Hollywood starlets like Greta Garbo and Grace Kelly, squirting on their perfume before leaving their home. Just the act of squeezing this perfume like this feels so glamourous.

Victoria's Secret is now open at The Pavillion and One Utama. Check it out during your next visit !

My latest painting

I have wanted to do another painting for a while now but never seem to get a chance to do it. So on Sunday, I got out my box of paints and brushes (which my little boy found VERY interesting) and started to paint.

I started by painting the background all black. And then painted the silhoutte of the face. Then slowly started adding small dots to create very colourful abstract 'hair' or a 'head piece' for the face.

Then ended by adding the 'star' in the bottom left hand corner.

Finished ! Completed ! So satisfied !

If you are wondering where the inspiration to do this painting came from, a friend of mine said to me recently 'before a king receives his crown, he is humbled and bows his head first'

I kept thinking about it for days and I kept getting this image in my head, 

so I thought to myself 'I must paint it'.

One of my favourite salads

Whenever I want to have a quick, delicious and easy to make salad, all I need is these three things.

Small tomatoes, avocado and feta cheese.

Cut everything up and put it into a bowl and mix with the oil that comes with the feta cheese

Yummy yummy....

Fresh fruit cake

Someone posted a picture of this 'cake' make from fresh fruits and I straightaway thought 'WOW ! YUMMY!'

I'm just trying to figure out how to cut a watermelon so that it can be the base of the cake like that. Hmmmmm.... decorating part i think is easy....

Superheroes !

I don't really know why but I keep buying little superhero inspired clothes for my baby boy. Maybe cause they are all cheap and whatever he wears, I think he looks cute. So far I have Superman, Spiderman and a Batman one, but the Batman one I'm still not 100% happy with because it doesn't have a cape and hood like the Spiderman and Superman one does.

Well, he seems to be getting the idea of trying to be a superhero. 

WHHHHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I'm fllllyyyyyyiiiiinnnnnnggggg!!!!

hahhahahahahahahaha

Raya 2012

Selamat Hari Raya to all of you ! Hope you had a great Raya. For me it was a special one this year because Raya last year I was pregnant but Raya this year I am with baby ! 

Would like to share with you some pictures I took at the National Mosque

Lots and lots of shoes everywhere and its such a shame there has to be a warning that your shoes can be stolen ! Aren't we all praying in the same place ?! Haiyo 

My little boy in one of his baju Raya and he loved the colours of all the flowers we put on his great grandmother's grave. He tried to eat some of them too.

And I know many of you are still in Raya mood, so carry on !
