I apologize for holding this post for quite a while before publishing it to you guys because I have really good news to share. It's just that I got not enough time to edit the post... I'm sure you can relate. Yeah, we're still in the CNY mood...full time snacking and drinking while having our eyes glued to the TV. On top of that, I was sleep deprived, which means I can't starred to the laptop screen for long hours..haha. So, here it is now.

We, the sheep, are not in any luck last year. So, I was hoping to have a better luck this year. According to the lunar calendar, the first day of the year was last Monday, 8th February. So, here we are in this brand new lunar year, I can see I'm gaining some luck already. If you've followed my IG, you can actually see that I did a flatlat for Honey Creme Hartamas contest. And I couldn't believe that I've won the second prize!! Wooohooo! 6 months supply of ice-cream!!! 

The second news is more of grateful than lucky. Those days, I used to anticipate for my birthday celebration, surprises and presents. But now, as I get older, I don't really look forward to the day... maybe it's because I'm ageing XD... and I understand that there are more stories behind my birthdate. And don't get me wrong... I still accept presents...haha.

To top it up with another great news, I'M OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED!! I couldn't believe it... I got a job offer as one of my dream occupations *eyeswithtears* In my previous post here, I mentioned that I might disclose the story behind all the flatlays I've created in my IG. It was actually an assignment related to my employment. If you haven't see the flatlays yet, go to my IG now. Do leave some comments or double tap it if you like it.

Now back to the original content of the post. Adding up to my first wishlist here, these are my newest wants!

Not really into it. But, bro wants it so why not.

Do you have any wants in your mind now? Share it with me by commenting down below. I love to add more to my list too!

Or are you a sheep too? Do you have any great news to share? I'll be delighted to know your happiness!

I'm much into #flatlays recently. (might let you know the reason behind it) If you still no know about my latest craze, you can check out my IG post here, here, here, here and here or down below. Do give me a double tap if you love my creation too!

And this obsession actually reminds me of POLYVORE, a site which allow you to find out and make purchases for beautiful things in fashion, beauty, and home decor. I'm not quite sure for how long I've been signed up for this account but I'm very sure that I was in for a contest. What I SUPER like about POLYVORE is the feature that allows you to choose, crop and edit items you love and paste it together for a layout creation just like editors would do for their magazine! It's like a barbie doll game for adults - without the barbie it's 2D.

As for now, I'm using POLYVORE for two main things.

1. To keep my wishlists

Wishlist #1 by zyinwty featuring vintage graphic tees

So, here's my first wishlist for this year. I'm happy that I'm able to crossout some of it so soon!

I've been in love with floppy hat since it had become a must-have accessory item... but the price was way too over the budget for me. Till then I went to Cotton On last week and found this love for only RM6, A PRICE MARKDOWN FROM RM69! It was a steal!! I was like I have to get THIS!

I love the material. I can be formal with the collar on. And I can also casually wear it on without buttoning all of it. Too bad that the embroidery at the back is not of my liking.

Again I found this flirtatious tee at Cotton On. I firstly saw this at Sunway. It was RM30. Then, I found this for only RM15 at Aeon Klebang. Another 50% off after price markdown?

Gotta workout to flatten the belly. #dressingroomreview #zyinsteal

Just nice as a cheongsam for the coming CNY xD #dressingroomreview #zyinsteal

Do you ask yourself this question? Cause I do. It's a frustration to figure out an outfit coordinate. And couldn't decide what to wear can already destroy the mood of the day. Everything would seems so wrong. One of the ways to prevent this disaster from happening is to update yourself frequently on fashionable items through magazines, blogs, etc. That's what I used to do. I bought ViVi magazines like hell lot! But, this is not the right way for long term cause it's sure to be very expensive...and what not to say, late by a few issues. Then, I found another way, cost-free, by downloading free scans monthly from certain websites. Even though I am able to get the latest issue, it drains all my energy as I have to wait for the super huge files to be downloaded using the super slow internet. I do not really mind that. But, to my dismay, no one has been uploading any issue recently. THIS IS NO GOOD!!!

Not until I found a new solution to this matter. If you're one of my friends on Facebook or one of my followers on Instagram, you might have know what is the gem that I've found and about to share with you. It's a fashion app called Shoppr, which can aid you in search for the right attire just to attend the important events in your life that you don't want to look underdress.

It generally caters each and every style that you can mention. No matter you're an urban chic who wants to be more visible in the eyes of the public, a little girl next door who wants to be handsomely attractive in the #ootd post or an OL lady who wants to be elegantly sophisticated throughout the day, Shoppr can feed you with the trending outfits from all the trendsetters in this whole wide world. In addition, it curates similar items at an affordable price for you to learn on how to mix and match. No more fuss in screenshotting on trend styles after scrolling Insta feeds for hours, opening several tabs to stalk on fashion bloggers continuously and keeping an eye on your favourite items to be at its reasonable price. It's all under one app!

I've personally experienced the wonders it can do to my coordinate during my last vacation to Singapore. No more second thought! Join me now on Shoppr via this link, http://bit.ly/sharethelove20 , to get yourself RM5.00 credits to spend on any outfit you like.

It's been around two months since the last time I went to cinema for a movie. Up till last week, my friend, Angie, asked if I wanted to watch "Our Times". "Our Times" is another hit romance movie after the release of "You are The Apple of My Eye 那些年，我們一起追的女孩" and "Café. Waiting. Love 等一個人咖啡" in 2011 and 2014 respectively. Tbh, I only watched certain parts of the former movie and have zero exposure to the latter. So, I couldn't give any comment on how similar these movies are.

"Our Times" is a story from the perspective of a working girl, Truly Lin who flashes back to her high school days. The grown-up Truly Lin is played by Joe Chen while the young version is played by Vivian Sung. Truly Lin, just like most of the school girls, has a crush on OuYang Fei Fan (played by Dino Lee), the school's good boy. On the other hand, Hsu Tai Yu (played by Darren Wang) is the school's bad boy, who is fond of the school's popular girl, Tao Min Min (played by Dewi Chien). However, Fei Fan and Min Min have a secret relationship. Therefore, Truly Lin and Tai Yu agree to work together in breaking up Fei Fan and Min Min in order for them to couple up with the one they like. As the plan is carried out, Truly Lin and Tai Yu fall for each other. Here is when their lovey-dovey scene starts.

I strongly recommend this movie for all of you who are from the late 1980s to early 1990s because this movie itself is set in the 90s. It will be easier for you to relate the scenes to your school years. Furthermore, you can involve yourself in the movie if you are a girl since the movie is taken from the point of view of a girl. I'm not sure if studying in a coed school can bring out more feel or what. But, myself, I'm from a girl school, I feel the "feel"! If you're born in the 90s, a girl and from a coed school, there are six things in the movie that will surely capture your nostalgic moments!

1. Obsess with your idol

I believe you must have your idol at that time. Who doesn't? It's like a must to have a star to go crazy over, to collect his merchandises (e.g. drama set, cassette, stickers, bookmarks, etc) and be called Mrs. so-and-so!! Love seems to be so simple in those days. The stickers are collected and pasted in a book to be brought to school EVERYDAY! If there is a popular boy band at that time, I'm sure your friends and you yourself will form a clan, where each person will represent each member, because that's what happen between me and my friends...hahah! And when there is someone who changed their mind to support other star, the rest will like inherit her "collections''.

2. Autobiography

In those days, Facebook does not exist, but I think there is Friendster, not as popular as Facebook. An autobiography is being used more often. On the first page of the book, the owner will have to fill up details (e.g. name, tel. no., add., nickname, birthday, favourites, etc.) about herself before passing it around for others to fill up their details according to the first page. Friends are allowed to choose to write on any page. This is when one can show-off her creativeness! Colour pens are used to write details and decorate own page. There is one phrase which is frequently being used: P/S: Sorry if not nice - hahah... how cute is that. Sadly, there is one thing I found is a loss. Photo of oneself is not paste in the book. Instead, drawing or stickers of idol is being used.

3. One-of-a-kind friends

Be it a girly girlfriend, smart-ass girlfriend, strong-hearted girlfriend, quiet girlfriend, or boob/butt-hitting girlfriend, there must be at least one of them you can remember when watching this movie. So, my advice, bring along all of your class-/schoolmates to watch this movie together! Or watch it with your high school crush, if you're brave enough to ask him out.

4. Bad-things-will-happen-if-you-don't-pass-this message

"You are now cursed. You got no choice but to keep reading. Follow the following steps and send this out to N-friends, or else you will died or even worse." This is how a chain letter would sounds like. What I experienced myself is in the form of an e-mail, not hand-written letter. At first, I really believed all this shit. Then, I straight away delete these emails the next time I saw it. Did you ever got tricked by chain letter?

5. The mad teacher

In school, the people who has the power to control your freedom are the teachers. A teacher who had scolded you, punished you, or made you lose your face in front of your friends will be categorized as a mad teacher. Same goes to those who gave a mountains of homeworks. Whatever the teacher did later will be deemed as being prejudice to you.

6. Adopt a pet in school

To have a pet in school would be either a puppy or a kitty, normally. Or could it be a bird? hehe. It is cuteness overload. How could one resist? That's the only interactive thing that you can play with, apart from your friends. Whenever you saw a puppy/kitty, especially at the canteen, you will give some of your food to them. A fishball maybe :B When it is injured, you and your friends will frantically find a way to treat them. The worst thing to happen, it died under your supervision. Aiksss....


This is the movie theme song, Hebe田馥甄 - A Little Happiness 小幸運 liked by many before the movie is released. But, I prefer the following song, Grasshopper 草蜢 - 最熱傳. There is a cantonese version but I couldn't find it...so here is the Mandarin version.

Play this song as you read the post... Soooo old school feel!

So, did you went through all these? Are we from the same batch? Do you own any "antique" found in the movie, like a walkman? I have one and I brought it to school once during a class party. Sadly, my Westlife cassette was accidentally being recorded with the conversation between my friends and I. Do you have any funny/happy/sad high school moments? I'm curious to know. Or let me know what are the nostalgic moments of the current generation.

I would give this movie a 4-stars rate. Although the storyline can easily be predicted, it really really brings you back to the old days. Especially when you're already working and often complain that you wanted to go back to school badly. And again, I really have to stress on it! Do not ever EVER search for anything regarding this movie..except for this post...if you have not watch this movie. You do not want to kill the surprise. But, I'll give you a hint. There are guest appearances in this movie! If you're shock/excited by their appearances, do stand up and give an applause at the end! I wanted to do it, but I got no guts...hahah.

Here's my #ootd for the movie date. I consider this as a youthful ensemble. A Mickey cartoon print tee to bring a childish attitude together with a skater skirt and a pair of whole pink high-top to kick-it-out! No heavy make-up and just a simple pony tail.
