Express. Exude. Radiate.

Find Greatness!

Everywhere I go today makes me feel all different kinds of feelings.

From the songs playing in the background of my workplace, the mall, the restaurants, the smiles I'm getting from people to the little children running around with metallic pompom pins decorated in their hair.

They have all triggered a feeling in my heart and it brings me to think of what this year has taught me.

There were some parts of this year that have brought out my vulnerability, but where there is weakness, there's bound to be greatness too!

Which concluded to me being grateful to end this year with positive, high energy and SO FULL OF LOVE <3

I have my family, relatives, BFFs, bosses, colleagues and a few great people who have all crossed my path this year and became so close to.

There were times I just wanted to be a feather in the wind and float away - be still in the space of galaxy.. but then again, who am I kidding? So, continuing to live and find joy within myself has been something I've been trying to do bottom half of this year and, boy, it sure wasn't easy.

I've done a lot of self reflection and have a collection of sweet memories this year to show love to my loved ones. I am glad to say that I am satisfied that I have enough happy memories of 2013 to keep smiling about and I can only keep continuing to find greatness!

I am blessed to have an undying faith to believe that there'll always be light at the end of a dark tunnel.

So many blessings happening next year and I am looking forward to them!

2014, I am ready for you <3

Love,
Tiff

Tokki's Bunny Ears Go Up! (B.E.G.O) Dec '13

HERRU!

Finally, it's the last month of 2013 and it's time to wrap up the year to welcome 2014 (^__^)v

I have to say my love for music has been an adventurous one this year, I have been exploring different sounds and it definitely has expanded my passions for music to a whole new level. Ah, I love it!

So, I'll just let the songs featured here do the talking <3

Icona Pop - All Night

This song reminds me of my girls! I love how the feelings of being free and running down an empty field always seem to evoke out of me. Such a good song to just go crazy with friends!

John Legend ft Ludacris - Tonight (Best You Ever Had)

It's not a new song, but it's a good song! I love this song and have been listening to this song this month <3

TK aka The God Rico - Way Fresh

TK aka The God Rico's 'Way Fresh' is a catchy song. Been listening to this a lot this month too! He has also dropped #KillShit: The Mixtape a few months ago and I definitely have other songs of his that I like. You can check him out here: https://soundcloud.com/thegodrico/

Oh! You may also be hearing a lot about him in my blog ;)

Submotion Orchestra - Perfection

A song great to clear and relax your mind. Good for nights after work to just chill out to.

Fabolous ft. Ryan Leslie - Lay Down

Fabo just released his 'Soul Tape 3' Mixtape recently and this song shows a very personal side of him, he's definitely letting us know how he is like 'behind closed doors' (>__ < ) And as usual, Ryan Leslie never fails to do great, though it could be better but I guess, it's still good!

Zedd - Follow You Down

Anna has been raving about how good this song is and I have to agree! She said she was bopping and dancing her head around all silly ever since this song has been in her playlist. Aww, I miss her and wish I'm with my girls now! <3 Saranghae!

Jhene Aiko - The Worst

Love this girl! Her voice is so buttery and so creamy. Ugh! Just so good! She writes and sings well, I love this song!

Childish Gambino - Shoulda Known

I love the beat and the chorus is hypnotizing to listen to. His written lyrics are very personal and you could almost get a taste of how he is inside. Good joint!

Jhene Aiko ft. Kendrick Lamar - Stay Ready/What a Life

Ah! I love, love, love this song, hands down! The reason why it's my blog song now <3 I got all my love for Jhene!

I gave Cassie's 'RockABye Baby' mixtape a quick listen and stopped halfway through cos almost all of her beats sound the same, but I will TRY to give it another round of listening to see if there's a song that I might like -ponders-

AND I really wanted to post something off of Beyonce's BEYONCE new album, but I haven't given the songs a good listen yet. Probably gotta wait it out till it's worth the hype!

I'm really waiting for some good R&B to do its comeback though! Love me some good R&B jams!! <3

Well, this is IT! The last B.E.G.O of this year! Aww!

Till the next.

<3,
Tiff

New Blog Song!

I have been obsessing Jhene Aiko's Sail Out mixtape! Her voice is like melted buttaaa.

I love her 'The Worst' and 'Stay Ready/What a Life' songs from her mixtape.

"All that I know is right now
Nothing's for sure but, right now
Gotta get yours like, right now"

Jhene Aiko feat. Kendrick Lamar - Stay Ready (What a Life)

Jhene Aiko - The Worst

Dear No One

See there? The title of this post.

A strikethrough on 'No one' could mean a million things (*^_^*)v

If you are making things effortlessly simple for me and you want me to see it.

Don't worry, I can see it.

xo,
Tiff

Sidetrack note: How did I get 3,535 hits on my blog and I just started a few months ago? I wonder who visits and reads my blog daily. I see all of these readers who come from different places to read my blog every day and I don't know who you really are. So mysterious! XP

Good vibes :)

Last weekend, two of my best girlfriends celebrated a couple of happy occasions- Fadzies has finally graduated from her Masters degree in Brisbane and Qaini is officially engaged to be wed with her man- now fiance- Reza!

Yay! Massive CONGRATULATIONS to the both of you, so proud of you both

:')

So many beautiful are happening to us all, I feel that we all deserve to be happy and I feel so grateful for everything as for now. I love you, girlfriends! Such great support system <3 -huggles-

Yay for Fadzies! To a beautiful journey ahead, sweetheart!

To a new chapter in life, Qaini! Yay!

My brothers turned my workout space at home to a temporary studio and I am trying to find motivation from these superheroes and villains from Marvel and DC. I'm also wondering if I were to cosplay and go to a Comic Con, what character would best suits me? -ponders-

Morning hair and morning face XD *kyaa*

Tiff Does A Review: Hairplay Salon @ Publika

Herru! Annyeong! Hai, apa khabar!? Ni hao ma?

So, I did it!! I went to a salon around Publika called Hairplay. Hairplay is a hair salon business ventured together by two talented individuals who are well known in the TV/Media/Beauty industries in Asia. Marion Caunter is a popular tv personality/celebrity in Asia, known as being the main female host of the E! News Asia TV show while Shaun Yap is her personal hair expert, a renown hairstylist in Malaysia, whom also runs the salon and manages his hair expert team.

Here is a picture of me with Shaun and Kim who tended to my hair.

First and foremost, I would like to explain the type and condition of my hair. I was not born with the usual Asian hair that most of us are known for. I do not have the silky, smooth and straight hair. Each strand of my hair is fine, soft and wavy, sometimes, it gets extremely curly, but it falls out to a wavy, loose curl. I don't know how I got the hair texture that I have, but I guess it's due to my various kinds of ethnicities in my family history. (I honestly have not figured it out yet! My family and relatives don't even know either!)

So, let's start the story of my full hair color process at Hairplay!

I was welcomed by their receptionist who was a sweet woman. She ushered me to my station and asked if I wanted any beverage to drink. There's this cool machine that they have of all types of hot beverages, ranging from jasmine green tea, green tea, hot chocolate, coffee to cappuccino and etc.

On my first day, I chose the jasmine green tea, of course!

Then, I was greeted by my colorist on that day. His name is Kim. I will let the pictures do the talking. Bleaching isn't a fun process, a lot of time taken and a lot of damaged done (to hair and wallet! lol!) But, it was all part of the process. I've started dying my hair with bleach ever since I was 14, so I am used to the whole shabang and the shock value to see my hair gone to super platinum yellow is fine by me! My scalp is like a rock, there was a minty sensation but I am used to bleach.

I was late for a lot of errands needed done at work, so, I had to stop halfway and go to work with YELLOW bleached hair. I was at the salon since 10am - 3pm! Yowza! I was told that I would probably make it on time, but I guess I should've gone to the salon where I would need to clear all plans in my schedule for that day!

Then, the next morning, I went to the salon again, requested a regular cup of cappuccino, let Kim handle the rest of the process and TA-DA! After he added the color in- my hair color is now complete!!!

What I do not understand in KL would be how difficult it is to find a salon that washes bleached hair with purple shampoo to get rid of the copper/brassy color off of the bleached hair. So, I'm left with the copper undertones which can be seen under the sun. I do not like this at all though, but I have to make do with what I have now.

This is the process of using the purple shampoo to neutralize orange/copper tones to bleached hair:

(pictures taken via Google images)

However, if you were to see my hair in person, you would see that my hair looks ashy greenish brown. I wanted hair that has absolutely no traces of coppery, yellowy and brassy undertones. I would prefer something that has a more beigey/ashy brown base color.

It was my first time at Hairplay and I would say OVERALL I am happy with their service. They were patient, sweet and have that 'never give up' type of character. The ambience of the salon is very modern yet relaxing. So, I am very pleased with almost everything.

I do hope to find a salon that won't leave me with copper hair though! I just don't want to look like I have copper hair in pictures while underneath the sun or when the flash is on. Without the flash, it can look fine but it all depends on the lighting too (^__^)//

Thank you, Shaun, Kim, Linda and the receptionist for their hospitality and great service!

Love,

Tokki Tiff

Tokki cooks a feast yahh!

I decided that this month I'll cook a feast on one of the days! So, I did and fed my bears! I live with boys, who are my brothers and my papa occasionally visits us from time to time. So, I made sure he was back in time for me to cook them a feast!!

Since there is no other girls living in our single people's apartment (lol!), I single-handedly prepped and cooked everything.

Woke up really early at 9am and finished everything by 3pm! So, I'll leave the pics to do the talking yah?

Nom nom nommmmmmmmmmm!
