Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak 2023

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak 2023

It’s June again! How time flies?!?! It’s that time of the year again! Gawai! It also means it’s a long weekend for those in Sarawak (provided you are not working on Saturday). So, what’s your plan for this long weekend?

Here’s a photo of me in a white Bidayuh costume that was taken back in 2018. It was taken at the Sarawak Cultural Village and the costume was also from them. This was my first time wearing the Bidayuh costume even though I’m half-Bidayuh.

Thanks to a friend who got me this opportunity. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos for the session as the photos were meant to be for the company that sponsored this photo session. I’m just the model. The one I’m sharing here is the one posted by the photographer on his personal Facebook page.

Anyway, wishing you a very happy and blessed Gawai Dayak. Silamat Andu Gawai Dayak! Have a safe celebration. Don’t drink and drive. Take care!

Wishing you all a very blessed Lunar New Year. It’s the year of the rabbit.

Happy Lunar New Year 2023

I’ve been quite occupied these days. Made quite a number of CNY cookies and snacks. Didn’t plan to make so many but ended up making so many haha! Here are some of them. Will share the recipe individually next time.

Meanwhile, here are two that I’ve posted recently:

Simple Fried Crunchy Seaweed Snack
Easy Air Fryer Crunchy Meat Floss Spring Roll
Easy Crunchy Crab Stick Snack

If you want to try to do some CNY goodies, you can check out this post 8 Easy Recipes for CNY that I posted last year.

On the other note, I’m going to be slow in updating this month and next month. Not sure when will be the next post coming. However, you will find daily updates on my Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Meanwhile, there will be weekly updates on Youtube and XHS.

Till then, take care!

Happy New Year 2023!

Happy New Year 2023 to all of you!

How fast?! Where did 2022 go? It’s 2023 now! Today is the second day of 2023 already. In 20 days’ time, the Lunar New Year will be coming. I will be busy baking and making some new year’s goodies these few weeks.

2022 was well… I don’t know… It’s too fast for me to process. What’s most important is that I’ve got through the year peacefully. I do not reflect too. What’s done is done. Move on!

There won’t be resolutions for 2023. I don’t do any. I will go with the flow and act accordingly. Why stress yourself with all those resolutions? *shrug* Most important is having an uneventful life. Peaceful, quiet, and healthy.

Just a quick post today.

Here’s my post on Instagram yesterday haha… These photos were taken with Realme C35 “smile shutter” feature. It’s pretty fun. Save so much time on selfies. I did do post-processing with AirBrush app.

Once again, wishing you a blessed new year!

Happy Birthday to Me 2022

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy Birthday to Me 2022

It’s another year… This time around, no longer in the three series but in the four series. How time flies?! Happy birthday to me!

Not sure how to feel. When I welcomed my 30s, there were so many dreams, hopes, and wishes but they didn’t turn out as planned. It’s OK. Life moves on. There have been ups and downs throughout the decade. Everything happened for a reason.

I am happy and grateful for what I have and where I am now. I’m not in the category where people are labeled as successful at this age. They are not me and I’m not them. Their lives are not mine and vice versa.

Not sure what this new decade will have for me. Whatever it is, the most important thing is for all my loved ones to be happy and healthy.

Cheers to a new chapter!

What to Get with RM150 on Zalora?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on What to Get with RM150 on Zalora?

Got RM150 voucher from Zalora, did a total purchase of RM149.40. Here’s a very quick ASMR unboxing and try-on. Check it out to see what I got and how the fit is on me.

Here are the details of the outfits I bought:

1. ZALORA WORK Cuffed Puff Sleeve Dress (https://invol.co/cl8ppo2), Size S, RM33.90
Stretchy fabric (95% Polyester, 5% Elastane) but might not be comfortable to wear in hot weather due to the fabric. Wash and wear. I thought it would be too long (based on the model’s height) for me but it’s just above my knee. Body-hugging. The length and fit are just nice for me.

2. ZALORA ACTIVE A-Line Skirt (https://invol.co/cl8pprz), Size S, RM28.80
Slightly loose but it’s not a problem. Thick fabric, not transparent. Easy to wear. Zipper at the back. Quite comfortable to wear. This is my favourite.

3. ZALORA WORK Cap Sleeve Button Down Top (https://invol.co/cl8pq0z), Size L, RM29.90
The colour isn’t as bright as shown on the website. More brownish. It wrinkles after wash but it’s not too obvious due to the prints. Very light and airy.

4. ZALORA WORK V Neck Lace Detail Sleeveless Top (https://invol.co/cl8pq2l), Size S, RM23.90
The wrinkles and folding lines are still there after wash. Ironing will be needed for the first time I guess. The fabric (polyester) is very thin but it won’t show off your underwear because of the colour. On close inspection, it looks and feels cheap. Luckily the lace at the neckline isn’t too bad. The armpit holes are a bit big for me but not much of an issue. The fabric is not stretchable but can slip on easily for me. If I go for XS, I might have a hard time putting it on because there is no zipper or buttons. This is my least favourite.

5. ZALORA WORK Collarless Blouse (https://invol.co/cl8pqks), Size L, RM32.90
The fabric is thin but comfortable enough. It wrinkles after wash. The descriptions stated that it’s polyester but it doesn’t feel like it at all. More like cotton.

The video isn’t nicely edited but hopes the video is helpful 🙂
