You could be the talk/ I could be the walk

In the past few days I've come across a song which I've fallen in absolute love with. Honestly, I haven't listened to a song as many times as I have with Miguel's track Sure Thing.



I'm hooked with the lyrics. They're quite witty and I like how it's a succession of cute metaphors as an ode of Miguel's affections for a girl. Also, something about the chords reminds me of the 90s - a throwback on my primary school days ;)

Life has been hectic. Planning on going overseas for my leave next month so I'm really excited! Ideally, I want to go to Thailand - to Bangkok, to Phuket and Bali as well - and hopefully with a couple of my friends as well! It'll be interesting to venture overseas and not quite knowing what to expect...! I think that's half the fun :)

I'm interested in flying with Malaysian low cost carrier Air Asia again. I've only ever flew with them twice - last year when we flew from Hanoi, Vietnam to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and then from KL to Mel on an A330 - but it was a great experience!

Quite a few aspects of the airline remind me of Jetstar which for me is pretty intriguing. The aircrafts we utilise mirror each other exactly - both airlines use Airbuses for their flights - but the product is different.

Air Asia has a greater selection of food choices on board and the entertainment system is more comprehensive. Also the uniform is made salient by the hot red, rather than the bright orange Jetstar is defined by.

The female cabin crew are also quite different in that they are allowed to wear their hair out, as long as it is tidy and well groomed. For Jetstar and all of the airlines who fly out of Sydney International, I have not seen one cabin crew or ground staff member wear their hair loose! To be honest, I was initially shocked but also pleasantly surprised :)



Regardless, I definitely recommend choosing Air  Asia if you're looking to fly within Asia. Not only is the product good value - it is a low cost carrier with the expectation of good service - but it operates routes which are very convenient especially when you're looking to fly throughout Asia! Definitely can't wait to fly with them again :)

Whites and brights

It's been a while since my last post so apologises for that! Work has been nuts and haven't really had a chance to rest but tonight is the tonight I've had a chance to shill and veg out! :)

In between work, I've been trashing out watching Laguna Beach, The Hills and Keeping up with the Kardashians so think what you will! I don't know what it is about those shows but I think it's living through them vicariously ;)

Anyway, some things that have caught my eye in the past few weeks:

Selena Gomez and this cute little number - I especially like the texture of her top and its pairing with the aqua shoes - very fresh!




Kate Bosworth with this outfit - Whilst the colour of her shift dress doesn't sit so well with most people, I think this shade looks great on her, plus coupled with the leather black shoes which add an edginess to the outfit. Very very cool methinks!




Finally Whitney Port's look has me hooked. This outfit below is both cute yet thoughtful - pastels in shades of lilac and pink look extremely hot together!
