LOL. Le me taking photos with my noob camera,(>.<,'')

This one is my choice of coordinate for ViVi star search ,(//A//,) Yessie~ that's what's been keeping me busy last week. Randomly decided to join when I decided I wanted to make a dress about a month ago. I only started planning after I completed my part time job in KL so everything is so last minute. Initially, I wanted to make my own dress to match with the layered lace outer but the fabric I got online didn't turn out as I picture it so I scraped the idea even though I've got my prototype done :S

Didn't have a choice and decided to dig into whatever's available in my tiny wardrobe and came up with two coordinates. Here's the other one~

I don't look the least photogenic in the photos I submitted (,T.T,) I'm not referring to these photos though. The real shot is a full body shot with makeup. I took it with the help of the camera timer. I got 10 seconds to hit the button and then take a few steps back and pose. Then repeat the entire process again until I get a shoot I deemed OK enough. Plus, I didn't have a tripod so I have to place the camera on a ironing board, adjusted so it's high enough to get a whole body shoot. fml.

Anyway, what do you think? ヾ(//v//)ﾉ Which coordinate you like better?

mooncakes ♡

Been about 2 weeks since I got back from KL and boy, my mom's stuffing me with food like crazy. It's food trip all the time or like all day long, on most days... GAHH. Reminds me of my NS days when I had like 6 meals a day! LOL. But that was then-lah.

I'm like "OMG. How can you eat some more? I can't catch up with you..." Believe me you, I tell my mom this every single time.

I didn't quit mind though when she asked if I wanted some mooncakes. The mooncake festivals are just around the corner so there's many stalls selling a humongous variety of mooncake!!! And they're decorated in the pretties boxes and packaging ever especially the gift sets ones! ٩(♡ε♡ )۶

We bought a box of four different flavors of our choice~ Check them out!!

Imperial Ivory~ Lotus filling with a salted yolk~

 

Pure lotus! Mom's favorite~!

 

Pearl of Harmony with red bean filing. I likey~

Dad and mom wanted more so we head to town in the evening to get them. Walah~ This time we got the more traditional, homemades one which isn't as colorful or fanciful like other commercialized ones. Dad says they're Teochew-style mooncakes.

We bought 3 different flavors. Mom got 2 'Mixed nuts' ones since she says it was highly recommended by her friend, dad got something with the yam filling and i got my durian flavored one. Teehee~ I just like to try anything durian!

 

just a simple packaging~

 

traditional mooncakes

 

mixed nuts mooncake~

Doesn't seem so appetizing, does it? They've got a slightly sticky texture and is really very nutty. I didn't like it. It taste funny. It's my first time trying mooncake with dried minced pork_I think-lah_ filling...

I'm hoping the durian flavored one doesn't have minced pork in it ,(>A<,) Hahahaha. Trying it tomorrow for tea time.
