We have a new pet! It was very unexpected, and Bryan thinks that it's god-given. Here's the story!

About a month ago, I was in the car with the rest of Bryan's family, when his mom spoke up, suddenly remembered something.


Auntie: Oh yeah! Bryan you so mischievous ar! Go and put a tortoise in the house pond!

Bryan: EH? Where got? What tortoise???

Auntie: You didn't meh? How come there is a tortoise in our pond?

Bryan: There is a tortoise in our pond?!


The moment we reached home and got out of the car, all of us peered into the pond and found a tortoise about 4 inches long!!! Nobody placed him there (We haven't had time to determine the gender of it, so we're assuming it's a male for now!) and him ended up in the Lim's pond still remains a mystery until today!

We didn't know what to do with the tortoise. Bryan's sisters tried feeding him with cabbage, but he didn't eat it. Only much later, that we realized he ate fish food!

Honestly, Bryan and I were both occupied with work that time, so we didn't give the tortoise much thought. But some days, I would think to myself if we should release him to the public ponds. But the tortoise seemed as if he was previously a pet. If he was, could he handle being out there in the wild?

A couple of weeks passed, and I decided to check on the tortoise. He was very shy, as usual, always hiding at a corner when we are around! I also found out that Bryan's parents have not been feeding the tortoise, because apparently, they eat algae -_-

I think a tortoise his size would starve if he were to eat only algae! Plus, there isn't much algae in the pond to begin with.

So I got Bryan to feed the tortoise at least once a day. That poor thing must have not eaten anything during our one-week work trip overseas! The pond didn't have any landing platform for him to sunbathe too. Imagine him being submerged all the time T_____T

When we found out the fish food was running out, Bryan said...


Bryan: After the fish food finishes, I'll go buy some real tortoise food for him.

Me: Wow! It's like you've decided to keep him as your pet!

Bryan: YEAH! Why not?! I think I will just adopt him as my pet! I'm going to name him....

Am blogging about my Melbourne trip on the flight back to KL from my work trip! I wished I had more time to blog about my travels, but these days it’s been all about Whitesoot. If I’m not doing anything related to Whitesoot, I’ll be either eating or checking social media before sleeping!

My brother graduated as a doctor last December in Melbourne, so my family and two aunts flew over to attend his graduation ceremony. Yep, my brother is definitely better in academics than me :P

Other than attending my brother’s graduation and day trips, I only had a day or two to enjoy Melbourne. One of the days, I decided to roam alone around the city, visit my favourite crepe cafe to take a bite and people-watch, and just let the nostalgic feeling take over me. After some time spent studying in Melbourne, I can’t help but fall in love with the city! This was the place that cultivated my love for fashion. Without spending time in it, I’m not too sure if Whitesoot exists today :)

While wandering around, I stumbled upon some really nice street art! Was especially surprised by the Joker and Virgin Mary :)

Oh! And I managed to meet up with my gorgeous friend, Mei Yi, too. She brought me to a rather hidden restaurant in the city for dinner ;)




















Alright, I think that’s enough pictures for this time :) Hope to blog about the day trips soon!

Yes, I know this is super late! Have been preoccupied with work. The last week of Feb was fantastic because I caught up with both groups of my closest friends :)

These days everybody is busy working and spending time with their other half, that we hardly meet each other! Sometimes, we take months (like 2 or more!) to get everyone together for a meal -_-

Here's Lee Lee, Chian Huey and I over a dinner at Le Midi, BSC. A good night spent chatting about Lee Lee's job as a lawyer, Chian Huey's experience in a Michelin star restaurant in Hong Kong, and .... Malaysian politics :P I love it that I can talk everything and anything to my girlfriends ;)

Good food, better companions ;) I'm wearing Whitesoot's Full Bloom Peplum Top here! Just launched last night ;) Mum got herself a piece in Violet Rose too because she thinks she looks pretty in it, and I agree! ;)

The next day, Bryan and I met up with my ex-colleagues over brunch at Red Bean Bag, Publika. We used to work together in a Marketing team, and it's wonderful that we are still close today, even after all of us had left and pursued a totally different career path :)




Oh! And during brunch, Jin Han (that macho guy there, other than Bryan) announced his engagement to his girlfriend of 7 years! Looks like someone else is getting married too ;) We were so happy for him, that I suggested we all become his heng dai LOL!

Other than that, it was just all work for me. The Whitesoot sale ended that weekend, and it was a packing frenzy the Monday after! Thank god for the operations maestro, Ric, who organized the entire packing during the Sale.

And since we had a trolley in the office, I can't help but do a silly jump with it! Please excuse me ;)
