Ever since we got married I’ve been wanting to redo our apartment!
Right now our apartment is all done up in neutral beiges and browns which is nice but not very us lah I feel. T_T
Fatty says he’s entirely ok with it but because it was decorated way before I came into the picture if can I’d like to have to have my own personal touch on it! I’d always envisioned my home to be all white wood furniture and cabinets with lace curtains and floral table cloth. Ya I know.. super Liz Lisa right? So contrasting with my fashion taste hahaha.
But oh well I think I’ll die first before ever getting that. I didn’t even bother asking Fatty if we can do it like that cos sure get a big fat resounding NO. But the next best thing would be to do it in shades of white and red I think! Not too feminine but still pretty enough for me!
I went out and bought a bunch of decorative and storage items from Ikea to get started on Home Improvement 101.
Pretty white storage bins! And ok I went a bit crazy in the frames section.
Black frames and red boxes for contrast.
And it stops there wtf. Save money a bit first, also cos our home is actually perfectly nice now a bit wasteful to redecorate too much. T__________T
A girl can always dream… my favorite magazine next to Japanese fashion magazines is Ikea’s catalogue LOL.
I changed my mind! Don’t need red accents also never mind all white is nice enough! (pics stolen from Ikea website)
When I was younger and I went to Ikea with my parents I used to wish we could just stay there wtf.
There’s just something about the way Ikea sets up their homes. :’)
If you wanna do up your home for the Christmas holidays but don’t want a major overhaul, Ikea has huge ranges of pretty ornaments and knick knacks to decorate your home for a special festive cosy spirit, or gift to loved ones as Xmas presents. All for affordable prices of course.
Xmas baubles! Got a bit mode feel or not?
Lantern candle holders, but I think they look perfectly nice without candles also (if you scared fire hazard)
Light chain with lights shaped like little houses. D: D:
Gorgeous ornaments that can double up as Christmas presents!
In Sweden, there’s a tradition called Advent which is a sort of countdown to Christmas.
So for Advent, Ikea will have two deals a day! Accessible here, just hover over the stocking to see the deals for the day.
I wanna get mirror to take nicer ootds :X
Check out Ikea for your Christmas shopping. :3
So last weekend was one of the most exhilarating ever! (to me, at least.)
Isetan had a Love Tokyo themed fashion show featuring its Japanese brands, and Foruchizu was naturally part of it. Ahem.
The best part of it for me wasn’t actually the fashion show itself although Cheesie and I had to walk. *trembles
It was the whole meeting all our readers and having everyone come together because of a label we created ourselves. Us. Creating all this! I have never felt anything like that before. T________T
Just… seeing everyone gather partly because of us, seeing everyone’s feedback on our clothes and seeing girls dress up and coordinate and acccessorize (and shop at our store wtf) and be so passionate about fashion! Dream come true wtf. Malaysians are usually very lackadaisical when it comes to fashion so I was really very touched. Maybe we are on our way – changing fashion style, one step at a time wtf.
Picturessssssssssss
Atmosphere outside before the show! So many people. D: D:
Photo stolen from Yumi.
We styled the mannequin ourselves yo.
Me and Cheesie backstage before the show.
Busy environment!
Makeup and hair done! Hair done by Lilac Salon, not bad not bad. I was terrified actually cos I’m so used to Hikky.
Baseball jacket from dsyr.
With Reiko, one of the ViVi model search finalists! This is the only picture I have with the other girls somebody please send to me!
Second outfit. Gold sequinned sweater and floral brocade shorts from Foruchizu of course. Stockings too! Booties from Isetan.
Awkward Aud being awkward.
Houndstooth top and black shorts also Foruchizu!
Cheesie!!! I stole this from her Instagram. :X Black shift dress obv from Foruchizu too.
Fatty said this picture I look like I’m moving at the speed of light wtf. I think I look more like a golf cart put-putting on a course lolol. Can almost see puffs of steam behind me.
After that, photo-taking time!!! With all the other models! Super like their attitudes they were all so enthusiastic and excited and friendly all the best to all of you!

Then the next day we had a lucky draw and meet&greet with readers/customers! Cheesie and I wore matching coordinate one, but then my top was too long on me T_T
This plus my klutziness is why I can never be a real model wtf.
So changed to a shorter top lolol. Everything on us from Foruchizu of course.
With the fake Takeshitadori backdrop lol. Looks real right!
With our blog manager Shah! And Min who took the photo and refused to be in one himself. Thank you both for supporting us!!
Thank you for coming Joanne!!! She’s wearing our gold sweater! *excited
And she gave us each personalized keychains she made herself. *cries again
She gave Cheesie a cheese keychain but said she didn’t know what represented me besides ‘wtf’ hahahahaha fml. SO SO touched thank you again Joanne!!
And the white koala bear is from Fion, all the way from Australia. Thank you Fion T___T
And polaroids with Yumi! Yumi is another story by herself wtf.
She came to Foruchizu to shop, and ended up making friends with Sinn Xian (our super cute shop staff, on the left). And because Sinn Xian was overwhelmed with customers Yumi ended up working like the whole day there. And then she came the next day to help again. O.O
Until she was given a work tag WTF. Thank you so much Yumi! You didn’t need to do that and we really appreciate you and Sinn Xian’s hard work! Hope you like the dress! Wear and take pics please lol.
Thank you Pangtzeching for coming and dragging Kuan Hoe and buying stuff to support us!

Just wanted to announce it nyehehe.
Also to commemorate the date so I remember when I changed layout in future.
I took forever to decide to change to a new layout! Angela actually made my old header for me so I very mm seh tak to change hahaha. But it was getting dated plus there were some things I didn’t like, like the small font and the small space for body text.
Kim who also did our wedding photoshoot, offered to design a new one for me so I took her up on it. I trust her completely after her company One Way Ticket did such a fantastic job for our wedding and she didn’t disappoint!
At first I was gonna go for a mode black/white theme but then I thought it looked too boring T_T Plus it’s not like I totally went away from pink and cute shit ma. I also originally wanted to have a picture of myself on the header (ahem) but then I thought, I already have so many pictures of myself in my blogposts no need to put another one up there la hahaha.
Then I thought of putting a cartoon persona of myself instead, and having everything look handwritten or drawn… and there we have it!
It’s still black and white cos I’m older now but still got pink cute elements to it. And I love the handwriting fonts!!!!!
Thanks Kim for putting up with my ficklemindedness and for being so patient and so willing to change and figure out how to do different things! If you’re looking for a new blog design, go check her out!
These are the only instances in my life where I have gone for a bona fide adventure – adventure in the most common sense of the word.
Don’t even know what this is called. Flying fox?
All I know is I didn’t dare to jump and tottered on the edge before the guy lost his patience and shoved me off the platform. Then I hollered all the way until I reached the other side. -_-
Then amazingly, on the same day we clambered up the rocks (more like a small hill really) to sit under a waterfall. Of course I was terrified.
Okla I am a very chicken indoorsy person.
But adventure doesn’t necessarily be just about flirting with danger.
It’s about embarking on new experiences and trying out different things!
Like
- water sports….
I’m on a boat! And nervous lol.
- Thrill-seeking type activities with friends…
For example paintball (blog post here), go karting… does mini golf count!? hahaha.
- Of course, can’t forget the food adventures.
- Nature exploration? *grimaces
Seriously I think this was the only nature-related adventure I’ve ever had. Technically I climbed a mountain hill rock so it’s rock climbing! There’s also mountain climbing, jungle trekking… those of you who like these kind of things would know better.
Anyway if you’re someone who’s keen on adventure and know exactly where to take a foreign friend who comes to Malaysia, the Nestle Drumstick Home of Adventure app is for you!
Very easy to play.
Just pin your adventure location and tell what’s so awesome about it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Total of RM35,000 worth of cash prizes to be won, to fuel more of your crazeh adventures.
Contest ends 23 December!
Too bad shopping is not a category!
If it was, I SURE WIN.
About 30+ photos here so hitch up your bandwidth!
This here’s my post on the Samsung Super Sweet BFF party that happened Saturday.
As you know, Samsung threw this party to celebrate their Galaxy Y Hello Kitty and BFFs so me and Cheesie were invited! Sorta guests of honor some more.
Hair! Odango by Hikky <3 For hair and makeup services, she’s in Mont Kiara 0362035111.
Got there pretty early so I got to see them put the finishing touches to the setup. Everything is pink!
This is by far the prettiest party I’ve ever been to haha.
My OOTD! Dress from Gallo by Thian, shoes from Japan, phone is Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty Limited Edition lol.
In front of the photo backdrop with the Chizu of Foruchizu.
With the star of the day! Everyone was going crazy over the phone! And when I was doing the shortlisting for the Best Dressed, so many people told me they dressed up and came with the intention of winning the phone!
With Jojo who hosted the event.
I must say, Samsung did a fantastic job of putting the party together! Everything was obviously pink and Hello Kitty-themed, and there was so much attention to detail it blew me away!
Like these were the ushers/promoter girls. All decked out in cute stockings, pink frilly skirts and blouses and HK ears. Some even had pink wigs ahhh so adorable.
Even the goodie bags are pink! The perfect shade too.
The dessert bar. Again, tiny perfect details. Note the Hello Kitty head topping the cupcake rack.
Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty cupcakes!
There were manicure stations and hair/makeup stations as well! Everyone went crazy dolling up their hair, makeup and nails, quite fun. 😀 I got a pink Hello Kitty on my thumb.
Cheesie got a heart painted on her cheek. I told her she looks like Fafi!
The models T________T So pretty T___________T
Foru + Chizu with our phones.
Fashion show starts! Models doing their thang.
So cute her skirt!
Then it was time for the Best Dressed contest! Cheesie and I went around judging people’s outfits and shortlisted 20! Then Samsung took over and tabulated and picked 5 to be the winners.
Good job everyone! It was quite hard picking nominees.
Jojo with one of the winners and her sister. Super cute they both!
And this little girl won too HAHAHHA. I nominated her cos I thought her getup was adorable.
Elle and her BFF get plus points for bringing props!
Jessica and her HK ensemble.
Group shot of all the shortlisted girls.
With Yumi, also one of the nominees.
Her hat is from Foruchizu and she made a felt bow to stick on it <3
And also her dad is friends with Fat Her so for our wedding dinner on my side, she came too!
(also can you see my Hello Kitty earring!)
With Michelle, another winner. I thought her outfit was the best thought out actually! She looks like Hello Kitty circa 1974 (when Kitty wears the blue jumpsuit with red bow)
Us and the pink balloons <3
Then got to watch Rise of the Guardians which Samsung arranged for us all. Didn’t have any expectations but turned out very sweet and funny!
Also it was the first time me and Cheesie watched movie together! I think got watch DVD at her house la but not at cinema. Conclusion: we are both too kiam.
What’s in the goodie bag? Hello Kitty candy, notebook, gem stickers, and mask! We suspect the organizer for this party is a very girly girl for knowing exactly what girls like lolol.
A Hello Kitty arch at the entrance!!!!
And that was the cutest party ever! To those I got to meet there, nice to meet you! Hope you had fun!
P/S: Here’s an extra bonus for Hello Kitty lovers. Buy a Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition phone and you could win a trip to Hello Kitty Town! Details here.
Last week was Mumsy and Fat Her’s 30th anniversary!
A few months before, Fat Her was already very kan cheong, repeatedly buzzing me and Ooib and asking us for ideas on how to surprise Mummy Ooi, much to our amusement. We suggested whisking her off on a romantic trip, just the two of us, but they ended up going to Chiang Mai with about twelve friends.
The middle-aged party harder than us.
But Fat Her still wanted a celebration with the whole family I guess because Ooib and I are the products of those 30 years wtf. So celebratory dinner it was!
We made reservations at a home dining place, which is basically where you dine at someone’s home for a very different and exclusive experience, the home owner is usually the chef and restaurant staff and the menu is crafted specially for you.
This is Karl’s house wtf.
This was the dining area. I think the entire home can only take 18 patrons at a time.
Fat Her told Mummy Ooi it was going to be a dinner for two only, so Karl and his wife actually set out a fake table for two to bluff her when they came in hahaha.
Mum actually suspected we were solemnly up to no good and she called me the day before asking me “what’s going on tomorrow?”
I said, “what are you talking about? I have a whole day Samsung event to go to.”
She believed me. Gullible woman.
Before the Parents Ooi arrived, the three of us (me, Ooib and Sherlyn – Fats was off on his company trip) sneaked upstairs to hide.
Hastily writing out our card to them wtf. I wanted to write “thanks for our existence” hahahahah.
Sherlyn took this picture of the Ooi siblings hard at work wtf.
Parents came in, chatted with Karl and Ming, then settled down, unaware of our presence.
We sneaked down and shouted SURPRISE!
Sherlyn said my mom had tears in her eyes wtf I didn’t notice!
Karl explained to them, “we had a couple of intruders who sneaked upstairs unbeknownst to us” LOLOL.
Family photo.
Then settled down for food. Karl is Austrian so it was Austrian fare I guess. Cold cuts for appetizer super yummy.
Mushroom soup with about a billion chunks of mushroom in it. By the time I was done with this I was full wtf.
Food was fantastic but I was so stuffed I didn’t even bother taking pictures of the main course which was a lot of pork. Later take picture I puke how wtf.
Dessert which I thought was very interesting. Strawberries in vinegar with cream on top.
Ice cream and cherries.
With Sherlyn.
Verily I think they were quite happy that night. 🙂
Pray for at least another 30 happy healthy years ahead for the both of them. Happy anniversary Mummy & Daddy!
Disclaimer: the nice photos are all from Sherlyn.
Ohai!
A few months ago I wrote about aging and fine lines, and about trying out the Olay Regenerist.
The other day I was with Cheesie when we came across the Money Back Guarantee Olay Regenerist is offering if you tried their product and don’t think it works in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in 10 minutes.
Wahlau. You all still don’t believe is it lolol.
So I was talking to Ooib’s girlfriend Sherlyn about Olay Regenerist and mentioned the money back guarantee.
This is what she said “really or not..” Skeptical Sherlyn is skeptical.
I said “Challenge accepted.”
This is Sherlyn. Say hi everyone!
We sat down for what I call the 10 Minute Olay Regenerist Challenge. Cos within ten minutes can see difference already.
I squinted at her and said, “uhhh what challenge can we do I don’t see any wrinkles also.”
Because she so fair her skin imperfections cannot really see from far! I hate fair people wtf.
But she insisted got la so I went two inches away from her face.
Ok la got la hahaha. Like me, hers are laugh lines, made from smiling. The drastic solution is Botox but there are considerations like price and pain. Why go for that when you can use non-invasive treatments?
Just pump it (like the Black Eyed Peas), and dab it on your problem areas.
Wait for about 10 minutes…
Another After shot.
The two main grooves are still there, but greatly reduced! The tiny lines at the outside corner of her eyes also not visible now. Thank goodness I was also quite kan cheong wondering if it would work for her hahahaha.
I give you a running commentary of what she said.
Sherlyn: “uhhh… don’t think it’s working leh. Still looks the same. ….. Eh wait…. I think got a bit of difference. Eh really got. You see you see! Don’t have already!”
Hahahahah. Skeptical Sherlyn is now a 10 minute witness.
We both should have this badge now.
If you don’t believe, try out for yourself yo. Take the 10 minute challenge, and Imma help you on your way.
I’m giving away Olay Regenerist hampers (consisting of Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream and Olay Regenerist Night Firming Cream)
Just upload a photo of yourself on Facebook and say why you want to win the Olay Regenerist in the caption. Must tag my Facebook (www.facebook.com/fourfeetninedotcom) so I can see your post.
Best 3 captions win!!
Deadline is one week from today.
Yay!
P/S: Can also check out Olay Roadshow locations in Guardian and Watsons!
So Foruchizu has launched in Isetan!
If you are new here (in that case, take a seat and fill in the form wtf), Foruchizu is a brand that my addiction Cheesie and I have been working on.
We’ve only started out but were very lucky to be able to work with Isetan to put up a Foruchizu pop-up store in Isetan KLCC for the whole month of December (Christmas shopping!).
The Foruchizu X Isetan collection is a special collaboration collection with Isetan only. Cheesie and I are working to launch our website so those not in KL or Malaysia can have access to it too 😀
Anyway, about the launch!
The night before the launch, I went to Isetan at like midnight to check on setup. This was the empty shelf before we plonked merchandise on.
Isetan prepared signs with us on ’em!
Hayley the Isetan buyer going crazy hahaha. I compassionately folded the pants for her wtf. But turned out I think she thought it’s nicer to hang them so all my folding effort went to waste.
Foruchizu is a part of the Isetan X Vivi Christmas promo!
Half set up store.
Short description of Foruchizu <3
The next day Cheesie and I went to KLCC in the morning and the popup store blew us away hahahaha.
We went around fingering all the fabrics and pieces and slowly soaked everything in. Both of us touched until felt like crying cos it’s like a dream come true T_______T
Gorgeous pink shimmery deco!
Tassel earrings on display.
The accessories section!
Side view.
We have a lot of monochrome items (tops, dresses and bottoms) for easier matching and wearing for work or fun. We also have a lot of gold and metallic for the festive season as well as this season’s “in” color, royal blue.
