Hello Yellow

Uh huh! I must be crazy to be posting this right now. Final projects are haunting my days and my nights and even I dreamt about my assignment last night. Sigh. And if that's not enough, the lecturers keep adding the assignments one by one. Yeah...

It's just a short post before I'm diving again into my assignments. An outfit post I took a while ago before going out for dinner.

Oh and I forgot to tell you in the last post! I got myself an instagram account. Follow me : cincinbk for daily dose of photos -not that I post photos that often though- 

Wish me luck during the last war of this semester. 

Until later, :* :* :*

Joy of the World

First thing first, MERRY CHRISTMAS pretties! 

I should have posted yesterday right on Christmas day. But I was too busy finishing the last book of Eragon series, The Inheritance. Definitely not a waste reading it. Full set of fantasy and adventure! My favourite kind of stories. 

.

Referring to this Christmas post, you'd think I'd post some Christmas-y outfit right? I swear I would love to...but due to a very unfortunate thing, which is my camera didn't work properly, I could only pick some pictures that noise-less enough to be shared *sad*.

I wore a red knitted dress which is extremely lovely. It's a vintage I got from mom. A lace top as inner and lace collar completed my outfit! The classic and pretty collar is a gift from Stellar Neckwear as I answered their questionaire. Thanks! Oh, and the tough boots was made based on my design. It was used to complete the whole outfit I designed for a Junior Fashion Design Competition few years ago. Will share more later :p

Ah, and during the day, I made Sugar Cookies too! Took the recipe from Martha Stewart's and adapted it as needed. It was an easy cookies recipe. Scroll more for the recipe!

Can I Cross The Jungle?

Yo! Finally an outfit post, yipee! It's not taken today but a few weeks ago instead. Friends were coming over to my place for some assignments but we ended up playing and watching videos all noon XD.

And those photos above all taken and edited by the ever-so-sweet lady from BootsyDoopsy , Wulan Wu! Thanks dear and do come over soon :*

I finally wear my beloved clogs that I snatched from a shop in Taiwan Market called Jiu Fen. Very nice streets with lot of shops along the way. I fell in love with the clogs but rather confused because it's kinda useless -inappropriate in classes and malls-. But it was so charming so here they are placed on top of my wardrobe waiting to be used. I'm gonna post my Taiwan trip later. It would take a long time to upload the photos :(

Oh and I snatched the sweater with Wulan in a sale. New Look sweater only for 90thousand rupiahs or +- $9. Sweet bargain huh?
And remember the giveaway I won from miss.tea&co. ? That's the cute octopus right on my neck! Once again thanks!

See u soon, promise!xoxo

Swamp of Flower

Uh huh~ still on holiday yet no photos~ (not that I should be happy), but I really enjoy this holiday as much as possible before getting back to routine soon :(

I only took this photo because mom happens to bring the camera with her (I should be the one bringing it if I want photos ==).

I'm going to post my last Lombok-Bali trip next post. I'll just have to wait for the rest of the photos from my friends' camera~ See you soon pretties :*

Be FAB!

For years bullying has become an issue. But is there any movement to at least prevent or making it better? Haven't known an effective one before. People get bullied everyday. And it doesn't end in just one day. No, of course not. They even get bullied later when they grow up. I mean it will become a cycle no one can avoid.

People often get bullied for their appearance, attitude, background, race, and now even worse, for their fashion sense. Honestly it doesn't make sense for me. You dressed for yourself, not for the people out there who criticize. Comment is unavoidable, but what's up with fashion bullying? It's so not cool.

So if you happen to be a victim or witness (I know my pretties aren't the bully one XD) you should be proud because you are different from the rest. Who wants to be the same, copy, doppelganger, you name it? Love yourself! A girl can and should dress as she wishes. It's in our blood :D 

Then exactly last week come an invitation from FAB, Fashion Against Bullying. It's a movement against bullying that let people express their support by uploading their photos wearing a basic white top written with "FAB" and bully words you hear or know.

Go check out their cool web. Many bloggers, fashionista, etc are already participate. Now it's your time to do so :) Be part of it! Go Go!

I've already post my support under the name Cynthia Bk. Go find it and post too! http://supportfab.com/ . Anyway, forget my :| face on the photo, I'm getting goosebumps every time I look at my own face there.

See you soon pretties :*

Blueberry Jam

My first weekend in this endless holiday. Planned to go with friends but cancelled in last hours :(

I was quite bored being home alone, so I opened my favourite cooking blog, For the Love of Cooking, and found an easy recipe, German Pancake. Changed the measure a little bit. Took only about half an hour and voila! 

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 cup of milk

2 eggs, beaten lightly

2 tbsp of butter, melted

a pinch of sugar and salt

2 tbsp of brown sugar

a teaspoon of cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. Meanwhile, melt the butter in the pan you're gonna use to bake later.

In a large bowl mix the flour, milk, and beaten eggs. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for about 20minutes. 

Mix the brown sugar and the cinnamon together. Sprinkle on top of the pancake.

In late evening, I went to the nearby mall with mom and dad to have a dinner. Ate Nasi Bali there. A Balinese food. Not that delicious though. I know a better place XD

A Walk to Neighbourhood

My university's exam weeks have finished! Hurray! Now I'm stepping right into holiday hole. It's gonna be a looooooong holiday. I'm trying to make my holiday-to-do-list again this time which always failed to be done for so many years before. And I'm going to paradise Bali on late July with my college friends! Woohoo!

Right, enough of my babbling. I went to Malaysia, KL to be exact yesterday dawn. A one day trip :| Yes you read right, ONE day. I'm already on my own bed now. Parents got thing to do there and I just tagged along like a gum sticking on pants.

My favourite photo spot in LCCT

Out For Dinner

Last Wednesday Ratna, my friend celebrated her birthday on Lazarro Cafe in Grand City Mall. Unfortunately some of our college friends couldn't come. They were busy finishing Typography project. We had some nice time though! Thanks Ratna for the dinner!

Ratna and me!

Sour Crush

Almost Saturday yet I post last Saturday photos :p

We -me,CK,vivi,ayin,ratna- planned to go to Supermall to watch Accelera, a car exhibition, but we ended up just ate there and went straight to a cafe not far from the mall. The cafe called "Le Cafe Gourmand". The place was so comfy. It serves many kinds of dessert, beverage, and only a few kind of meal. We ordered few items, too bad the camera wasn't working properly. We didn't even take photos together as we usually did.

I asked Ratna to take a few photos for me to fill up my blog. Thanks so much for the beautiful photos :*

Last Tuesday Night

It's actually last weeks's Tuesday photos XD. Vivi, the birthday girl treated us to a dinner at Grand City Mall's XO Suki. Ate heartfully! 

A quite rare photo! Almost complete of my best friends at college!

Family Night Out

Hulaaa~ This week is just as hectic as last week. I've been busy attending classes and preparing my design clothes for saturday. I'm done with the basic as I'm typing this post. So excited!

Yesterday I went for a family gathering celebrating my great-aunt -or yi bo as I called her- 's 84 birthday! Amazing, huh? Since both my grandpas and grandmas have already passed, all the family think of yi bo as our own grandma. Wish her a long and happy life!!!

Freshened, finally!

Yeahh!! Finally saturday, everyone's favourite day~ What were you doing on saturday night? I had a wonderful saturday this time. And you know, I got my hair cut. Finally. I love my new hair. It feels so comfy and fresh. Actually, I want to have it cut shorter, I'll do it next time. heeheeehee. Do you think I did the right thing or is it a disaster?

I went to Surabaya Town Square -or so called sutos- with my lovely 7Gangsters. 4 gangsters to be exact. Had so much fun! It's been a long time since we hang out here. Ate at Sushi Hana. By the way my camera seems to be in trouble as all the photos taken were blur. Too bad. 

 

Mid-End Holiday

My insomnia can't be helped. Getting worse on holiday like this. Sigh. I'm watching Running Man as I writing this post. My night-laugh-medicine. LOL. It's getting more and more funny! My favourite korean reality show beside Family Outing. I think sis getting annoyed hearing me laugh at midnight while she sleeps. Blame Running Man.

everything is random except that basic Next black belt.

Since the start of the holiday last december I've been hanging out with mom all the time. Just like today, mom got some matter at Pasar Atom -must visit place in Surabaya, a combination of market and mall, one of the hype-est shopping destination here-. I've been to Atom too often that I feel some of the shopkeepers there gave me a weird I-know-you glance. Like usual, I was going around the mall when I bumped to my aunt and my little cousin there. So to get rid of my boredom, I kidnapped XD my little bro and we played at Timezone for a while. Then in the evening me and mom went to Galaxy Mall. Walked around until my feet felt numb. Blame that lovely blue heels. 

Sat-Nite Fun

I wasn't in a good mood this morning. Yet my parents took me to a motivation event hosted by Andrie Wongso in a mall, called Grand City. I was super lazy and lack of sleep. Fortunately, in the middle of the coffee break, I was able to escape for a while to a newly-opened store, (X) S.M.L. I managed to buy myself a new baby there~

We, DKVers Love Photoshoot!

Suddenly remember about a photoshoot me and my fellow college friends have last december. One of the model called Wulan, the owner of Bootsydoopsy blog. And ItsMeAn2x is one of the photographers. Here are some of the photos.

The first theme is animal. I brought mine, a snake skin-patterned dress, but turned out everyone was wearing leopard-pattern. So I borrowed this jumpsuit from my friend Wulan.

On me: leopard jumpsuit (borrowed from Wulan), random bangles, random black belt, Steve Madden black heels

From the Very First Page

Yeah! Begin this new year with a blog. Don't know if I can keep this up XD. Going through the 2nd semester is kinda challenging. Last semester was so much mess. I'm not good at planning my days, that's what I'm trying to change this year -hope so-

Let's just do our best this year!
