Je Compte les jours

Few hours left till my mom and bro arrives. Well, sorry to upset some of the viewers. I didn't get my lip piercing. I know some of you are relief right now. Well, I was about to go out of the house actually to get it done, and suddenly I thought about my mom and how is she going to react, and some other things as well.. But It didn't actually stopped me.. I was sitting and starring at my notebook, searching for images of people with lip piercing , such as Christina Aguilera. But then again, when I think back, the motive about me getting it, is actually to discover myself, what am I made of, or who am I, and what defines me. Well, actually I've been wanting to do it for a long time, just that there were people around me stopping me and what not. And now, as I got the chance, I think, I won't be needing it, maybe not yet. I've been asking myself for a long time now do I really need to do this, in order to inspire myself..Maybe I do. Maybe I don't.

Then suddenly the phone rang. It was Redza. I saw his missed call before, I think I was in the bathroom at that moment. But then, as I picked up, he asked me where I'm at. And he reminded me about my mom is coming, so he said maybe it's not a good idea to do any 'visible' piercing at the moment. Well, it's a sign. Whatever comes out from him, it's always a sign for me. So,I refuse to take chances in doing so. But whatever it is, apart from my self discovery project, I am getting weaker without Redza around. Day by day, the fire inside me starts to burn out, slowly..

Well, since I've mentioned the name Redza here, there and everywhere in this blog, for the new viewers who doesn't know who he is, there ya go, this is Redza.. well, some of my friend calls him Mr. Double R. Some even calls him, Nisa's fiance.


Oh, and no, he is not a musician.. He is much more smarter than your favorite rockstar. It just happens that he is good at playing instruments. And yes, He is also one of the Malaysian student in France.Sigh..it's 4am, can't sleep..and they'll be here by 8 or something.. big sigh.... Oh merde! Which reminds me to keep some stuff out of her sight! Oh man.. seriously, that was close.. Okay, will update later. I have to make a move on it!

Xavier

I had a meeting with Anne Valerie Hash's men knit wear designer. It went well. He gave me a project. Only..he told me to think of the theme myself, and everything according to what I am. What I am...so, what am I? He told me not to be scared of making mistakes. To him, mistakes are beautiful. I am use to do pretty neat stuff. How do I know about the crazy part of designing. Looks like I have to think out of the box. I really hate to do messy things like everybody did in their journal book. I still remember my old journal book. It was so neat, that you can't find any flaws. I love to make beautiful stuff, that also looks expensive. I saw Mr. Xavier's port folio. It is close to..piece of junk.

But surprisingly,I like it. I like the simplicity of the presentation. But the ideas in it aren't simple at all. Gosh, I feel such a fool on buying expensive stuff for my port folio. It is so expected, he said. He told me to do something that nobody ever done before. Tell you the truth, I'm close to being crazy right now. The date line is on the 28th of this month. He told me not to think of anything, just let loose. Let loose...

Crazy Beautiful

For some reason, this song seems to be stuck in my head at all times. So i decided to make it as the blog's theme song, for the day. Reminds me of Vanessa William in the movie Dance with me. sigh.. I couldn't sleep last night, despite from my outing yesterday. I was truly exhausted, but I just couldn't close my eyes. The sandman missed it when he tried to throw the dust at my eyes. I guess I was thinking about a lot of things too much. I just simply can't get away with that. As I was about to sleep, it was at 3.40am. Suddenly, Nina sent me a nudge in msn. She called me through msn and chatted for quite sometime. It was fun. Nina wanted to give me something, through Redza. So baby, if you're reading this, please call Nina alright? Oh one more important thing, est-que tu peux appelez moi ou texto ton nouveau numero s'il te plait. Merci mon cheri.. Je t'aime et tu me manques beaucoup.

Speaking of Redza, he, his mother and both sisters are on their way home. Home as in KL. Isn't that great! At least great to his side of peeps. I wonder what is in Oreo's agenda today. Catch with you viewers later!

Detour

I woke up early today, planning to finish up my bag. I only have small hand stitches left. The studio was empty as usual. So I was happy working alone again. After 2 hours of working, Oreo walked in. He was so happy, that he already sent the Balenciaga bag to his sister in Taiwan which he bought some days ago for her. We were talking about accessories business for quite sometime. According to his opinion, Accessories such as bags and shoes are salable throughout all region and countries. Like I was saying yesterday, I did thought about making my own accessories line, because every woman NEEDS beautiful bags and shoes. I've been doing a serious thinking about my future business. Several additional things can make a huge profit. With my ideas and workmanship, i hope it'll workout well.

We chatted till our stomach were growling. We did some thinking of what to eat. Oreo decided to take me to this one very famous pure japanese restaurant in Palais Royal, it is near the famous Haute Couture school, Chambre Syndicale. First impression of the restaurant...wow, so japanesie. It's all seafood baby, can't get enough of that. I just love pure japanese food. I think my taste buds are already addicted to them now. HELP!!


We're finally here!!


Starters: Yummy Sea Snails!!


I Love this Stuff!!


The BEST Japanese meal I had so far in Paris!


After the fantabulous meal, we decided to take a walk to Chatelet, since I have several things to buy for my bag. It was a very fine day, Oreo really know his way around Paris. He took me to the shortest way to get to the Dragorie shop (place where people buy embroidery supplies) He said, maybe he knows Paris better than Taiwan. haha. I know this from before, Paris is small, now that I know the short cut to everywhere, it's getting even smaller.hahaha.

Walking is always good for health..


We decided to go into the church near the Pompidou centre. We haven't been there before, but it turns out to be boring... So,we decided to go to BHV to buy some more stuff.


Colorful..mais, il y a nothing special


I decided to get myself a Caramel Frapuccino


Waiting for the bus..exhausted


Yeap.. the outcome

Grand Sac

I have a lot of things that I want to do in the near future. One of it, is creating my own label. LABEL is something HUGE, it carries out your name, your BRAND. It's not as easy as opening a boutique, make clothes for clients, and so on. It is more than that. It involves a lot of contacts, factories, suppliers, designing team and the list goes.. I've been dreaming to have my own accessories line too, as in bags and shoes. Today, I did a simple tote bag, just to see how it's gonna turn to be like. It's not finished yet, I have to buy some other stuff and maybe a little embroidery. I'm not so sure, but I'll make an experiment out of it.


Experiment 1: Cut out the pieces


Experiment 2: Stitching


Experiment 3: Sew & Harden the Base


Experiment 4: Attach Lining


Outcome: done in 4 hours without embroideries and handles
to be continued..

Love vs Responsibility

GREAT!! I feel so relief that I've finished my draping piece.It's weird, but i like it. it's my Yohji Yamamoto project. Oh well, whatever makes Peter happy. Here's a..well, a cloak I supposed. That's what Jen said, and she likes it, haha. How bizzare, but whatever. As long as everybody's happy.

I put in wire in every single tube. It's a new design concept, I would wear em..right

I was watching the Nicole Kidman's Chanel 5 advert, and It touched me..sobs. I was really sad when the director said, "as all possibility in a romantic relationship,it'll come to a point where things will cannot be,and because she realized that she got to choose between her own selfish love,or her great responsibility," That's deep man,so touchy.Sobs.. The advert is sort of like a Moulin Rouge movie, only that this time Nicole is the mythological Super Star that is somehow, in love with this one young writer, Rodrigo Santoro, yeah, I know it's the King Xerxes guy. But he's hot yo.

I enjoyed watching the making of the Chanel 5's short film. This phrase made me missed my beloved like crazy, "for the first time in her life,she able to discover who she really is,and the more time she spends with him,the more she becomes the person who she really is,rather than the image of person that everyone else need her to be. And thats why she become a better,a richer,and a more mature person". Damn, that's just killing me, I think I'm back on missing Redza like crazy again. Oh noO!!



Check this, Quote of the Week:
The late Coco Chanel once said, "Perfume is a Luxury...and Paul Valery said, a Woman who is not wearing a perfume, has no Future"

Hahhaha.Shizer. So, girls, don't forget to spray perfume on your way out of the house.
