Something blue

Really wan all the photos in this blog post are themed blue.

What I wore for Nuffnang’s 5th birthday party.  The dress code was something blue and I never wear blue so the day before I had to go out and anyhow find something blue to buy.

I always think people in denim shirts look cute no matter what.  Not me leh, I end up looking like a dressed-up hobo.

Denim shirt – Topshop, white tank top – Bangkok, fake leather shorts – Azorias.

Happy birthday Nuffnang!  Quite amazing that it’s been five years.  And to think that for it’s first birthday, me and Suetpants recorded a video at Mount Holyoke to wish them (actually I would rather not think about that now wtf).

L-R: Desmond, hobo, Naddy, and Yuenny.

Fffffuuuu I think I drew my eyebrows one higher than the other WTF.  Cos all my pictures I look like I wanna be sexy raise one eyebrow fml.

Hobo and Bobo. HHAHAHA I’m so poetic.

Less hobo-like picture.

I’ve been feeling quite in a slump over work lately so when Fatty had to go over the weekend to Bangkok for a Nuffnang Thailand event I happily offered my services as immigration card-filler,  and all round companion ^^ #useful

Left right after work on Friday and just got back this Sunday night.

Forgot my Kindle -_- Couldn’t face two hours of doing nothing on the plane so I rushed to the LCCT bookstore and randomly bought this book.

The book turned out damn good!! It’s about life and women’s rights in Saudi Arabia told from the POV of a Saudi princess true story wan.  ok la lazy to type go buy and read yourself wtf.

Welcome garland from hotel <3  The jasmine smelled so nice I sniffed it like a veteran glue sniffer.

The hotel overbooked so they upgraded us to suite YESSSSS your mistake our benefit.IMG_1789

One day Imma build a bathroom like this.  With two sinks so Fatty and I don’t need to nudge each other out of the way all the time.

Maybe two toilet bowls too cos I always diarrhea wtf.

Bathrobes laid out for our use awww they shouldn’t have *flaps hand

IMG_1791

Fatty and a sheepish smile.

IMG_1794

MK steamboat/hotpot!  Apparently everyone loves MK and if you go to Thailand you gotta go to MK.  It’s Fatty’s favorite restaurant in Bangkok and when he’s back in Malaysia he says he craves it sometimes (now you know why he’s called Fatty)

But ok only I thought!  The only nice thing was that the food came in stacked containers and saved space wtf.

Nuffnang Thailand event!  Quite excited about it cos I’d never been to any event outside of Malaysia (unless you count NAPBAS in Singapore).  Plus Thai bloggers are jawdroppingly gorgeous!!!!

It was at a cafe called Too Fast To Sleep (i think they meant Too Early cos the place is open 24/7)

IMG_1797

The theme was books!!!!!

My dream house will have a library and if I could open a store, it’d be a bookstore so you know what kind of hardcore nerd I am.  So I fell in love with this cafe.

(seriously I considered opening a cosy bookstore in KL someday – somewhere people can just go to chill on couches and read for hours – but not sure how it would fare cos I don’t think Malaysians read that much.  Maybe I’d go bankrupt wtf >.> Would you patronize such a place??

IMG_1798

But when I saw this cafe I thought something like this could work.  A cafe + bookstore/library concept.  Dunno la no entrepreneurial spirit I can’t tell.  This Too Fast To Sleep place doesn’t really focus on reading though the books look like they’re just there for decoration.

More of the cafe.

IMG_1801

I think it’s gorgeous!

I also think my eyebags are horrendous I am this close to getting eyebag surgery.

IMG_1805

Kirari (super super super pretty Thai blogger) and Eyebags.

IMG_1807

Fatty and Pruet (NN TH partner) giving a bilingual speech in English and Thai.

(btw the girl with the bun and her back to the camera is fucking attractive not so much her face although pretty also but the way she acted and carried herself.  If I’m a guy I’d fall in love with her lo wtf lucky I got to sit behind her and stare at her in peace hahahah #creepy)

IMG_1810

Btw I got to wear a Nuffnang shirt!!!! So excited hahaha when the Nuffnang TH people gave me one.  They did it so casually some more as though I should be used to getting one at every event.  Fatty said “you don’t have to wear it if it clashes with your outfit” and I gave him the “are you fucking kidding me” look hahahaha.

For those who think I work at Nuffnang, no I don’t wtf.  But I’d be proud to be part of it lol.

IMG_1811

The little touches made the whole place nicer!  Like they used mini chopping boards as plates.

IMG_1812

And quaint displays made of household items.

IMG_1808

Next day’s outfit.   More blue!  My MURUA jeans and favorite gold tipped Azorias shirt.

IMG_1820

Dessert that Pat took us to.

IMG_1821

Tonkatsu ramen!!!! As good as Marutama’s to me, but just different.

But still cannot beat the one we had in Osaka leh even though this is supposed to be from Tokyo.

Okbai.

I guess it doesnt matter if people read or not, its more the social side of things, to meet a stranger who share the same passion over some coffee, tea and homemade cakes! One day! x

  • Oh, I’ve read some parts of the book!! well, not really a book because I downloaded it and there are missing pages(le sigh)!if you like books like that, I recommend

  • Aud, open the store! Not many places in KL for us to chill & read books ler! OPEN IT!!! 😀

  • Hello Audrey,

    Can’t seem to find a contact on your blog, so I’m leaving you a message here and hoping you’ll get in touch with me a.s.a.p. I’m writing a magazine article and just need to check something with you, as I’m keen to have you be a part of it. Look forward to hearing from you!

  • I love to read but sometimes those environment not so suitable for book worms. either too noisy or too pack.

  • i say, if you want to open a cafe bookstore, make sure there are mattresses in it! the reason why so many cafe bookstores fail is because the owners fail to consider the fact that people love reading lying on their beds instead of couches!

  • the font very big!!! i am scared!!! wtf

  • Oh it sounds good! But not sure if I would actually read there… I love reading lying on my bed too hahaha. Cant really read read with my contact lenses too -_-

  • I’ll definitely go if you ever open a book cafe. It’s so hard to find this kind of cafe in Malaysia ! Especially since i’m a big fan of books (:

  • fourfeetnine dont encourage me!

    omg we can have fashion & cafe all in one ooh and set up a blogging area for bloggers to sit chat & blog

    eep x

  • Maybe it’s the power of LOVE,
    YOU ARE LOOKING MORE AND MORE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

    Take care Drey and have a blissful marriage!!! 🙂

  • Nice to meet you Audrey, u are so cute and so sweet.
