I used to be like Samantha, now I’m more like Charlotte

Sex & the city fever is back! the movie sequel is premiering soon in May and I know most of the women in the world are super excited about it including me.

Two days ago, I made my fiance watched sex & the city  the movie with me, he had not seen it before while I’ve seen it a few times (it’s in my laptop hard drive!), I always try to match myself with one of the character, don’t you all??

I used to be like Samantha, well of course not to that extreme. I used to be selfish in a relationship and put my self first before my partner in every way. Similar to Samantha, I liked to have multiple partners and not dedicate myself to one guy, I didn’t believe in marriage and not wanting children at all. Fashion wise, I liked anything sexy, low cut tops showing cleavage and tight clothes.

Charlotte vs Samantha

Suddenly everything changed in 2008. I met my now fiance in a bar in Melbourne called La La Land. I just broke up from a bad relationship and went out with two girls for a drink. Everything happened so fast, he didn’t mean to pick me up or anything like that, it’s just a coincidence that he sat next to me and we started talking. He’s got this sexy british accent and deep voice. We just clicked right away. Long story short, he asked for my number and we started dating, after 2.5 months we moved in together and the next month after that he proposed. It’s definitely love, and I’d never fallen in love before. I also changed from Samantha to Charlotte. I become less selfish and happily do things for him. I gave up what I was doing at that time in terms of career and education for him and moved to UK with him. I didn’t mind at all. I love him just the way he is, his imperfections which I find very attractive, I would have never tolerated on other men before I met him. I’m happy with just one man in my life now. I grew up and happy just like Charlotte.

Standing Cat

this is a funny one, i think it should be a ballerina cat!

low carb KFC anyone?

This is a new KFC meal that’s offered in the US, a sandwich without the bread / bun. Great marketing to target the fashion people!

Detox is done, what’s next?

My detox program was finished last week, hooray! The journey had been great, I can feel the benefits. I lost around 1.5kg, can taste food better without the need of adding artificial sauce, like Chilli sauce, Tomato sauce, Tabasco, etc.

I think detox is good if you do it twice a year, to cleanse all your vital organs and remove the toxins from your body.

I’m definitely changing my lifestyle, I won’t eat a “bad” food if I don’t really like it. For example, I’m not a fan of bread, pasta, chips, crisps  and pizza, but sometimes I just eat it because it’s there in front of me. I also chose to buy organic vegetables and fruits, when it’s available and try to avoid processed food with additives. Fresh is a better option.

Camden Market, A colourful part of London

I like markets, but not just any market. For example, I don’t like fish market or vietnamese market. Camden market is one of the many that I like. There are several markets in London, but I’ve only been to Camden so far. It’s so colourful, full of tourists, have variety of stalls from old vintage shop to hard core heavy metal shop. The food stalls are also great lots of varieties.

How cute is this cupcake :)

I did a London trip yesterday, very nice day warm and sunny. I met up with my friend Irene and had coffee and cupcakes at Bea of Bloomsbury, nice coffee and pretty yummy cakes. I had a kitty cupcake for charity, the sale goes to Battersea Dogs & Cats home,www.batttersea.org.uk

J brand, I like

I only have 3 pairs of jeans, when I moved to UK, I left all the ones that old, either they didn’t fit or just looked wrong I don’t really wear jeans much anyway, I like to wear dress and skirt more than jeans. However, English weather does not really support dress and skirt lover like me. So lacking in pants/ jeans department is not really a smart thing. Also, when the fashion industry re-introduce high-rise / high waisted jeans and trousers and ditch the hipster, it’s like heaven for me. Hipster doesn’t do my body a justice really. I always have a tummy no matter how thin I am, and I don’t have the size of bottom required to hold the hipster jeans on its place – hips. I’ve got 3 Nudie Jeans, they’re all skinny 2 low-rise and 1 high-rise. They’re quite comfortable, but one has stretched so much it’s just annoying to wear, it keeps going lower and lower when I walk or sit, so I have to constantly pull it up. So I figured I need a new pair. I went to Liberty to do the Jeans mission and tried on this soft navy J brand, www.jbrandjeans.com/

J Brand Navy Major High Rise

It’s high-rise, very comfortable fit. Very soft material almost like suede, apparently it’s called Japanese twill, the length is perfect, please note I’m only 5′ 2″, it has a zip detail on the ankle, just perfect. I just found a new favourite jeans brand.

Sex & the City 2, oh I can’t wait honestly!!!!

Oh the wait is almost over, Sex & the City 2 will premiere on 27th May! and the most exciting bit is Aidan is back!!! He’s my favourite Carrie’s lover!

Crusha Advert
