New shoes

Listening to: Paolo Nutini - New Shoes

Got myself some new shoes.
And I love them so much, going to top that off with a skirt.

Going to edit or post a new entry soon, it's 2 AM in the morning here :R

Long time no update

2009-08-05T17:00:00.010+02:00

Just realized that I haven't updated since Sunday, July 26, 2009. I've been way to busy with everything. I go lately out everyday and when I'm on the computer I'll need to design & code layouts for others. And I hope that the last one didn't sound reluctantly because I really enjoy design & coding websites for others.

And I also discovered that I lost weight because of being out everyday under the shining sun. :B

Well anyway, I'm planning to buy an own domain .be (Belgium) or .com to host my blog on cause Blogspot is too limited for me. (And I prefer WordPress :3)
But that doesn't mean I prefer WordPress.com more than Blogspot.com because hosting your blog on WordPress.com is more limited than Blogspot.com imo. I just like the WordPress script more because it's not that limited when you host it yourself.

It's gonna be an one year .be or .com domain. (I'm not really planning to use the same domain for more than 1 year.)
All I need to know is a new domain name, BUT I CAN'T DECIDE. XD

If you're interested in owning an own unique .be domain for ONE year, please tag me. I sell them for €3,65 (€0.01 per day). :B (I only have 2 to sell.) And you'll need PayPal.

Relieving my heart

2009-07-25T16:14:00.007+02:00

I so need to post this to relief my heart.
So today I plugged my SD card in the SD card reader in my computer and I copied all my new photos to a map. Then I deleted them from my SD card.

But then I suddenly want them on the SD card back (for some reason), and pressed Ctrl + z. Then a window popped up and asked: "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all the items?" (or something like that) and I pressed Yes O.O
And ALL my new pictures I moved to my computer where gone. POOF.

So I was so upset. Downloaded 5 recovery programs but with no good result. The best program that recovers good is Recuva btw. (ha-ha-ha)
It don't really bother me now, but yeah. I'm such a noob, but I'll never press CTRL + Z again while doing something like this.

What a great lesson I've learnt today :'D

New layout! YAY or NAY?

2009-07-23T12:19:00.008+02:00

Full view: HIGH QUALITY | LOW QUALITY

I've finally made a new layout with a new favicon (the thunder thing). It looks retro isn't it?
It's featuring the famous pop singer Lady GaGa. I really like her songs but I sometimes think she's screaming in her underwear. Though I'm really sure she CAN sing with soul.
I don't really know how long I'll keep this layout, but I quite like it. I never make layouts like these but I tried some new styles and I quite like the outcome.
I made it in Photoshop CS2 for all who asked me which Desktop Publishing Program I use for my graphics.

So what do you guys think?
YAY or NAY? :D

And should I release this layout?
I'm going to work on the navigation links now.

P.S. - I love Brown Eyed Girls new album so much, especially their song Abracadabra. It's really catchy and the MV is so hot: Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra MV (HD)

[INSPIRATION] Harper's Bazaar UK, July 2009

BRIGHT - 言葉にできなくて

Editorial - Sun Godess
Model - Diana Dondoe
Ph. - Paola Kudacki
Scanned and uploaded by: fearless_123@ LiveJournal

An inspirational blog post. This time Uma Thurman is the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK July 2009 and IMO the cover doesn't even look like her: COVER. I just don't know why they picked that as cover cause she looks like an completely different person. But I still like the photo's from the rest of her shoot.

My favorite shoot in Harper's Bazaar UK July 2009 is featuring Diana Dondoe which you can see below.
God I love her legs and the shoes she's wearing. *-*

New haircut + Room revamp + New layout

2009-06-23T20:51:00.013+02:00

소녀시대 – 소원을 말해봐 (Genie)

Hit the ">" on the music player. This song is so good, I listen to it over and over again. XD

Well anyway. I got myself a new haircut, YEY! I don't have a fringe anymore but I'm planning to cut one after the summer. I think it looks good now, long hair rules.
Not that short is stupid, but it takes ages for me to let it grow back. So I can better keep it long instead of short.

I am also getting my room revamped, so I've lots to do.
My cousin from England is coming to the Netherlands and I can hardly wait until she is here! :D

Yesterday I designed and coded a brand new WordPress layout for Miley-Central.net, and today it's up! Please tell me what you think!

I'm going to work on my next order, I won't have much time when my cousin is here. ^^

Take care!

P.S.: I'm so enjoying the summer now.

New computer + Layout release

2009-06-20T11:45:00.007+02:00

So yesterday I got myself a new computer. YEY
I just installed Photoshop CS4, and I'm currently scanning my old computer before I import all my files to my new one. ^^

Here's a screenie if you're interested to see how my desktop looks like at the moment:

I also released a new layout@ Blogskins.
It's the layout I'm using now. I thought it was time to release it because I'm already getting sick of it. LOL.
I also see that my past skin has been downloaded 2,919 times so far. Which is really sick, I don't like it that much. But I've seen many people tweaked it, and the outcome is quite nice.

If you want to get this layout: Hiu// Just dont, let me go...

I also started to Twitter and Plurk again.
So follow me if you want to read my crap: Twitter/ Plurk

I'm going to play Sims 3 now. XD

Succeeded + Jimmy Choo for H&M

2009-06-17T18:05:00.024+02:00

Stereo Lies - We Need a Change (from Matthew Williamson's H&M commercial)

Two good news in one post
Okay, so what I'm going to tell first?
Well tomorrow@ 3PM I'll get my marks and today I heard that they were awesome. So I passed.
I actually wasn't that surprised nor I feel relieved.

And now to the Jimmy Choo part. So today I logged in my twitter account on Tweetdeck and to my surprise I saw THIS tweet:

HandM - It's official! H&M has announced a new, exciting design collaboration for autumn 2009. http://tr.im/oKUJ

And now from the official site:

JIMMY CHOO BRINGS GLAMOUR TO H&M THIS AUTUMN

This autumn, British accessory brand Jimmy Choo will bring its international glamour and covetable shoes and bags to selected H&M stores. The collection will be available from November 14 in around 200 stores across the world. It is the first time that H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and to celebrate Jimmy Choo will extend its design vision for this collection to women’s clothing to complement the accessories. Further exciting news is that this collaboration includes a men’s collection of shoes, bags and accessories.

And I was SO curious who it was. I have never expected this: Jimmy Choo. The famous and awesome shoes designer from London is going to collaborate with H&M! I was so happy after reading this. You should know how much I love his designs, even though I couldn't afford it as a student. But now I will be able to, just like the designs from Matthew Williamson for H&M.

I feel really happy now and thanks for reading.

xoxo,
Hiuxing.

[INSPIRATION] Baby When The Lights Go Out

2009-06-12T22:07:00.014+02:00

David Guetta - Baby When The Lights (love to listen to this song while getting a run)

Inspire me: Baby When The Lights Go Out
This is what I usually do on the computer beside online shopping, web design, photoshop etc: Lurking on the web watching fashion photography (or catwalk videos).

And my mood is way better now since someone (finally) invited me to TheFashionSpot.com's forum which is only for invited people. (Oh, I feel so exclusive now. 8D)

Photos from one of my favorite photographers.

New layout

2009-06-11T20:03:00.013+02:00

Since my past layout didn't work well in Internet Explorer I decided to code one myself from scratch. It's a div layout, the past one was coded in tables by doughnutcrazy. This layout has a footer which makes the sidebar shorter and not a long boring sidebar (who no one wants to read).
Btw, I actually really don't know why there are no Blogspot skins available with a footer. Footers are hot.

Edit 8:35: I just found out that this layout won't center in Internet Explorer. I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Anyway, I've tested it now in all browsers and it works fine in: Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera. (Not sure of Google Chrome, I don't have it)

Edit 8:45: It works in all browsers now. 8D

P.S: I need affiliates. So apply apply apply!

P.P.S: I might release this layout for other Blogspot users to download. I'll do that maybe after I get sick of this layout.

Do all good things come to an end?

It's true:

And when both fails, there is this my lovely camera.
Seems like everything is going wrong lately. I'm so upset. A hard to describe feeling. Just for now, I hope.
Nothing will change, I love you. K ❤.

P.S: Will code a new layout by myself soon that will also work in Internet Explorer. Just not in the mood to do it now.

Layout revamp

2009-06-08T23:22:00.015+02:00

By Gackt on crack (Gackt) - 小悪魔ヘヴン (Kaokuma Heaven)

Because I had my layout for almost 2 months. I thought it was time for a revamp.
It's the same coding, but I tweaked the header & CSS with materialisti-c's coding. (I'm too lazy to code my own layouts at the moment)
I made a footer code at the bottom because the sidebar was very long which makes reading it very boring. (But at least I made the footer myself. LOL)

Anyway, it's now 11:26 PM and I think I'd could better get myself some sleep.
Today I fixed my website Morningsun Designs.
I was really really frustrated and stressed. Someone changed my index.php files and putted an iframe into it :/ So when people visited my website they would get a virus. Unfortunately for the hacker I work with an iMac and viruses don't work here. 8D
So if you are not using a Mac and have visited Morningsun Designs on June 06 & 07, SCAN YOUR PC.

P.S: This layout I'm using now don't work properly in Internet Explorer. I'll fix or recode this layout soon. I'm very tired now.

P.S.S: Do you know the Japanese singer Gackt?
This is his new single cover XD:

My little design site is up

2009-05-26T22:03:00.002+02:00

Maybe some of you have read my twitter tweet that I just bought a domain lately and was facing some coding errors. But now it's finally there. My own little designs site for fan sites graphics. I'm still very noob with coding layouts but I hope I'll improve myself very soon.

The whole site is made by me so tell me what you think! ^^
I'm sorry for the lack of activity. I'll try to read your guys blogs if I'm having time to.

Neglected my camera

2009-05-21T21:58:00.002+02:00

I've neglected my camera
Did you know that I'm owning a Canon 450D since last summer? Photography has been a hobby to me since 3 years ago. (or something.)
My first digital camera was a Canon IXUS 40 with 4.0 Megapixels and my second is the one I'm now owning.

But guess what. I haven't made any serious photographs with my new one.
It's a professional camera which was quite expensive XD.
So I'm planning to do a photoshoot (or something) with a friend after my exams.

Latest pictures of myself. XD (Is it me or do I look different each time?)

I feel like I am on top of the world

2009-05-21T14:52:00.009+02:00

I feel like I am on top of the world
Haven't blogged for a while. (actually 7 days)

And I'm now going to tell you how my last examinations were.
I got 3 this week. And 4 more will come in the next 2 weeks.

Monday
Dutch
This was my first one, and I thought it was very difficult. But it was sooo easy. I was like laughing sneaky when I was making it on the paper. XD

Tuesday
History
You should know how scared I was for this test. We got to learn the history from around 1848 - 2009. And I was just super lazy the last days, so I haven't learned much about the past and more about the history from 1975 till 2009. And guess what? 80% of the questions in the exam was about what I've learned. Lucky me they haven't asked deep details. Phew *wipes sweat from forehead*

Mathematics
Then I had Mathematics, you should know how much I love it. It's my favorite subject. (Oh I'm so nerd XD) You couldn't learn for it, it's more to understand the formulas and to apply it. I though they would asked a lot stuff like calculating angles with Pythagoras and those stuff.

Next week: English, Economics
Next two weeks: Biology, German

You should know how HAPPY I felt after I got my last one (for this week) yesterday.
Now I only have to learn for Biology (4 books) and I'm done. You can't learn for English and German since it's about explaining text.

Bring it on English, Economics, Biology and German. :D

Still on hiatus

2009-05-14T15:44:00.008+02:00

I'm still on hiatus, but since I'm now at the moment lurking around on YouTube. I wanted to share this. It's Super Junior's new song "It's You" and I'm like totally addicted to it. You can download it: here. In my opinion I think this song is WAY better than their other song "Sorry, Sorry"
The first exam will start the next Tuesday on 19 May. And I know I've to learn for my exams, and I know this exam is really important. I know it. I'll do it tomorrow.

Cause guess what? The NEW COLLECTION from MATTHEW WILLIAMSON for H&M is out! *faints*

I'm a big fan from him. And I saw H&M's advertisements yesterday in the free dutch daily newspaper Metro. And I was so excited XD, I'll show it after my exams.

Take care,
Hiuxing

Hiatus (kind of)

2009-05-05T20:09:00.005+02:00

I am currently really busy with school, and therefore have very little time for this. My last (central) exams are coming up and I really want to get good marks for it. My exams will start over 2 weeks and takes 3 weeks long. This means that I'll not posting here for a month. (OMG) Between learning exams, and being super lazy - this place is at the moment quite low on my priority list.

If you need to reach me, there is still my tag board. Since this is my homepage, I still check and read it everyday. :)

Love,
Hiuxing

Wonderful Day

2009-04-24T20:47:00.005+02:00

YAY for holiday!
Yesterday was such a wonderful day. It was the last day before my May-holiday started which lasts nearly 2 weeks! I really really needed that.

Peacock necklace
If you follow my blogs posts you must noticed the peacock necklace from Matthew Williamson for H&M in my posts. (Matthew Williamson for H&M Part 1&2) I can tell you that I ordered it successfully from H&M's online shop. So happy! ^^
To be sure it would not be sold out, I stayed awake till 23:59 and bought it immediately after it was launched at 23:59 (CET). XD

The necklace was sold out within 1/2 hours. Everyone was like going crazy that night on H&M's website. I didn't took 1 day and EVERYTHING was sold out on their website. The last piece that was sold was somewhere in the midday. So I'm really happy I stayed awake, even though I came Friday morning with panda eyes to school. XD
You can see it here that everything is SOLD OUT: Matthew Williamson for H&M

Next collection (PART 2)
Matthew Williamson's second collection is going to be launched on 14 May and I can hardly wait again! Well yeah, stay tuned for more information about his second collection!

Matthew Williamson for H&M Spring 2009 [PART 2]

2009-04-20T13:16:00.011+02:00

Matthew Williamson for H&M Spring 2009 PART 2
Maybe some of you have already noticed about Matthew Williamson's new clothing line for H&M by reading my older post "MW for H&M Spring 2009" or by an another website/ friend.

Sneak peeks
Well I can say that they've officially launched the first sneak peeks from Matthew Williamson clothing line! See pictures or see it live in action: H&M USA, H&M Netherlands. :D
And I'm so happy that H&M Netherlands has a online shop! Which means that I don't have to go to the bigger cities here in the Netherlands to buy some pieces of MW's new clothing line. ^^ (There are only 7 selected stores in 5 cities.)
NOTE: Only Austria, Denmark, Finland-Finnish, Finland-Swedish, Germany, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have a online shop!

Be quick or it will be sold out?
Some friends of me who are also fashion obsessed said that it would be sold out the next day. I'm not really sure if it would really happen. They say this from their experience when Cavalli launched his line @H&M (2007). But what stupid is that I just ordered some clothes from H&M a week ago. So my mother would be like "OMG". XD

Well yeah, in any casy I really want the necklace I showed in me past post: this one.
It cost 19,90. Which is slightly less than my 2 days salary. ^<^ And I think I'll buy it on Friday morning since I never have lessons in the morning. So that's a perfect timing.

P.S. I wonder if my friend is going to stay awake and wait till it's launched on their online shop. XD Because MW's line is going to be available for shopping online from 23.59 (CET) on Thursday, April 23RD.

Love,
Hiuxing

Get yourself inspired_01

2009-04-08T17:34:00.027+02:00

Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Look around, the grass is high
The fields are ripe, it's gonna be the springtime of your life

I promised that I would post a lot of fashion updates in my next post but I decided to post something about beauty and here is part one. This part is going to be all about the hair!

Spring 2009 hair inspiration: Get your hair out of your face!
Get yourself inspired with the latest haircuts and get ready for spring. The most of the haircuts you're seeing now are haircuts which don't hide the foreheads.

The picture from the left is a example from Krizia's Spring/Summer 2009 runway and my favorite haircut at the moment. It starts with straight hair on the top and ends with feminine curls and fastened with (nearly unseen) hairpins/bobby pins.

Similar photo(s): Krizia_02, Krizia_03, Krizia_04

If you like this haircut but want to try an another similar look, I'll recommend you to try the more natural one which looks like this: PeterSom_01. Creating this haircut is easy: skip the styling tools.

Skip the hairdryer but work some cream or wax in your towel dry hair, then letting your hair to dry it by itself. Important is that your hair needs to be in a good haircut to get the best result.

2. Curls/ waves at the bottom
The haircut that have always looked classy. Sweet, soft, and very doable. The hair here takes center stage. Lush, romantic, but modern.
You can combine this with a light smokey eye. It's strong without being too much, since the long, loose, flowy locks counteract it perfectly!

The ponytail
Another haircut that have been always classy and very doable, the ponytail.
We love the ponytail and why not? These days you can wear them to the gym then later that evening to a five-star restaurant.

There are lots of different ways to wear a ponytail, here can you find 10 great ponytails and how to style them(!): 10 great ponytails.

The hair knot
The hair knot, also known as a hair bun or chignon, is a timeless style that can be worn anywhere. There are a lot of different ways to wear a hairknot. This video where celebrity Hair Stylist Robert Steinken shows on VideoJug how to create the perfect hair knot can get it started.

Sick of your long hair?
Are you sick of your long hair? Give it a twist and try a shorter haircut.
Whether you choose a classic bob or a spiky cut, short hairstyles can transform your face. There's nothing like a short haircut to show off your best features. Short hair can be more more sophisticated and edgy than long hair. And as a bonus: They can be low-maintenance.

Want to get one? Here some tips and tricks: Tips 'n tricks

Tuesday update

2009-04-07T17:25:00.011+02:00

Blog/ website update
Haven't updated my blog for 5 days. I've so much things to share and so much things to do that I didn't got the time to stop here to post some awesome fashion related news.
I'm also busy with FahrenheitAvenue.eu new layout. I finally converted my layout into WordPress, that was also the reason why it took so long with the layout. So I'm really happy with that. You can visit the site for a sneak peak if you want to. :D

School update
So yeah, the time my blog was on mini hiatus last week was because I was having an exam week. Got already 3 marks back, and the results are awesome. So that's a real relief. And maybe you've read that I got to learn 650 pages for my Biology exam. Well I can tell you that my Biology exam didn't contained ANY subjects me and my classmates got to learn. So that was really really weird. Anyway, I don't think it really matters cause I think I did it very well since I answered all the questions. (Even the open questions!)

Fashion update
I feel bad of not posting any interesting fashion news. But I'll post a long fashion update in my next post since I'm actually quite busy now with organizing everything in my life. And I'm also busy with making a scrapbook with dresses from one of my favorite designers Diane von Fürstenberg. (Aww, I love her!)

But yeah, you can say that I'm currently having a lack of concentration and sleep.
Hope it disappears soon.

Finally received my package

2009-04-02T12:07:00.025+02:00

Finally
YAY, I finally received my package. It arrived on 11 March, but because of the customs inspection it got delayed to 31 March. (It's crazy)
_{< CLICK FOR BIGGER SIZE!}

So yeah, I got to pay €18,- import tax and €17,- clearance costs. Which means that I got to pay €35,- for my whole package. *u* But anyway, I finally got it! I'm so happy, teehee. -^^-
I really love the white ruffled slip dress. (Maybe because no one has one here. XD)

But the online store where I bought my clothes from are now having a new Spring 2009 collection and some items have already caught my eyes. (HAHA)
But I think I'll order the next time with my friend Yuna. ^^

Also, my room is currently being revamped. Which means that I will get a whole new wallpaper (color is light pink! ), a new bed and a new wardrobe. I'll also get a "amateur" studiocorner for my photography shoots. So I'm really happy.
But I'm now going to learn for Biology, I'll have an exam tomorrow about FOUR BOOKS. (650 pages)

Below some snapshots of my ruffled slipdress. (Random boringness. XD)

On mini hiatus

2009-03-29T19:51:00.005+02:00

Exams are over my head now, and they start from tomorrow. Thus a mini hiatus. Sadly it is going on hiatus for the next 5 days as well.

I have been dying with the stress of my un-studying ways during the period before the exams week. I postpone a lot of things when I'm sure I'll succeed (as always).
With the fashion week from Paris last week which distracted me.

So this time I promised myself to work harder which means that I won't be posting for a while, but I'll be back and ready in a week. So that means I'll be back with much of updates. :)

And there are so much things I really want to do, such as:
» To finish MTV's "The City" :D
» Finishing FahrenheitAvenue.eu
» Creating a new layout

And I still haven't received the clothes I bought from the internet.
I got a letter a few days ago from TNT post (Dutch postal company) stating that I got to pay import tax. And I dunno how much I've to pay. (my package is worth $150) It's so unfair.

I'd better go and learn for my exams. Tomorrow I'll have History, and I've to learn 106 pages for it. Yeah, it's insane.

Take care,
Hiuxing.

Matthew Williamson’s much-anticipated line for H&M is set to hit stores in just one month. The first shipment will arrive on April 23, followed by a second delivery on May 14 — and I can hardly wait!

The exclusive women’s collection is set to hit selected stores on April 23, 2009, followed by another Summer range for women and men from mid-May. An H&M spokeswoman said the “exclusive” women’s range would be carried in about 200 stores, with the second delivery slated for all of its 1,700 stores.

I really love the peacock necklace with the "MW" letters in it which stands for Matthew Williamson.

The prices start at $25 for a pendant necklace to $249 each for this leather jacket and sequin minidress to $349 for this beaded maxidress. They are a fraction of Williamson’s normal prices. For example, a similiar studded belt from his top line retails for $995 (at net-a-porter.com) compared to its $50 H&M price tag. Now that’s a steal! ^^

I really love this collection, but this is nothing compared to his main label, which is simply mind-blowing. Click: Matthew Williamson collections.

“I wanted to create an urban collection with my brand’s typical patterns and forms. It has been fascinating to search through the archives and select the most iconic garments, and then recast them for H & M.” - Matthew Williamson

I wonder in which selected stores his clothes will be available here in the Netherlands. Cause I really need some pieces from Matthew in my wardrobe. XD

Cause my friend Yuna haven't watched it yet. But I really love the movie, so watching it again would be fun too. And if you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you to do so. It's a really AWESOME movie. (Especially when you love fashion) ^^

New layout ft. Ayumi Hamasaki
Just realized I haven't posted any interesting posts about fashion for like a month.
I've been very busy with school and everything but I promise I'll post some new posts about fashion the next week. As you see I made a brand new layout which I'm quite proud of.

Exam week is coming up
My exam week will be on 27 March and it continues till 3 April. So I don't think there will be much updates in that week and the days BEFORE it starts. So yeah, March is a quite busy month for me. *u*

Tracking my package
I've been waiting for like 2 weeks for my package. It contains clothes worth $ 150 that I bought on the Internet and I've been tracking it for like 4 days. XD I'm so afraid I've to pay import tax.
I think it will arrive tomorrow. (Hopefully) Clothes always cheer me up in times like this. (HAHA) You can check my package by going to this url: HongKongpost.com.

Once when I was little
Haven't submitted a deviation at DeviantART for like 2 months. The last deviation I uploaded was on 24 January.
So I uploaded a new deviation yesterday, you can view a bigger size here: Hiuxing@ DeviantART
Still looking for a model and need some spring/summer inspiration. *sigh*

I think I can better wait until it's spring or something.
Love the new H&M Spring/ Summer inspiration catalog by the way, it's makes me happy during this cold winter.
View H&M's new spring/summer collection: H&M!

Photo inspired by the song "Once When I Was Little" by James Morrison.

Once when it was so magical
Once when I used to feel so strong
Once when I could pretend more then
Once when I believed more then
Once when I was little

Don't feel good this week.
I'm sorry,

Hiuxing

Utada Hikaru - Come Back To Me
Release Date: 24 March, 2009

View lyrics

The rain falls on my windows
And the coldness runs through my soul
And the rain falls, oh the rain falls
I don’t want to be alone

I wish that I could photoshop on
Our bad memories
Because the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks
Won’t leave me alone

If you come back to me
I’ll be all that you need
Baby, come back to me
Let me make up for what happened in the past

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

Memories I have of Manhattan
She goes shopping for new clothes
And she buys this, and she buys that
Just leave her alone
I wish that he would listen to her
Side of the story
It isn’t that bad, it isn’t that bad
And she’s wiser for it now

I admit I cheated (admit I cheated )
Don’t know why I did it (why I did it)
But I do regret it (do regret it)
Nothing I can do or say can change the past

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

Everything I ever did
Heaven knows I’m sorry but
I was too young to see
You were always there for me
And my curiosity
Got the better half of me
Baby take it easy on me
Anything from A to Z
Tell me what you want to be
I open my heart to be
You are more priority
Can’t you see you punished me
More than enough already
Baby take it easy on me

Baby take it easy on me
Baby come back to me
Baby come back to me

Chorus
(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(You’re one in a million)

(Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
I’ll be everything you need (Come back)
Baby come back to me (Come back)
You’re one in a million
(One in a million)

I'm still sick but now I have so much spare time I can show you how my "workspace" looks like.
P.S. - Sorry for the watermarks, so much fakers last time.

My room contains/ looks like this:
- 1 flatscreen (Which my younger sister uses to watch Nickelodeon, cause she hates to watch TV alone.)
- 1 iMac (Which I usually use for Photoshop)
- 2 big writing desks (1 for my iMac, 1 to draw on.)
- 2 wardrobes (I want a walk-in wardrobe so bad XD)

I love house designs from Ikea so a lot of furniture in my room is from Ikea. XD

A random snapshot from my desktop where I draw on.

1. Some old LP records.
2. A guide about investing (I such a nerd *u*)
3. My new drawing paper to draw clothes designs on.
4. Chanel Exceptionnel mascara (A gift from my best friend Kenneth AWW)
- And some random new and old fashion/ beauty magazines. (H&M, Mango, Harrods)

I found this one a few days ago, so much old stuff and designs. *u*

Found this one a few days ago too, this one is a "newer" one.
(Even though I took this picture a half year ago or sumthing) *3*

Last one, it's a close up from a Chinese magazine *u*
It's a quite old one but I'm still looking for the "smiley" necklace from Moshino's "Cheap & Chic" collection. And I still can't find it.

Vaccination

2009-03-02T21:49:00.007+01:00

Monday, 2 March
Today I got my vaccination against cervical cancer. (See picture) *u*
It didn't hurt, but by the adverse effects my arm is now thick and red and feel dizzy.
And I still have 2 vaccinations to go. I will get my second in about a month. The third I'll get over 4 months.

I've also updated my blog with a new profile photo, even thought it's not my favorite picture at the moment. I look worse when I'm sick so I don't really want to snap some new photo's from myself.
And I'm looking for a photography model. *u*

There were a lot of photographers at the location where I got vaccinated. I got photographed by 3 photographers. Don't know where my head will be placed. !@#$%^&*()_+
I should ask money for it. *sarcasm*

Don't feel good today, not much to say and to update.

Bye Bye London

2009-02-28T22:26:00.004+01:00

Bye Bye London
Today was the last day I was at London, here can you read what I did:

10:00 AM/ 10:00
Me and Lin went to Marks & Spencer (M&S), the largest clothing retailer in the United Kingdom, as well as being a food retailer. (!)
We bought a lot of candy and a lot of cakes. (Holy smokes those cakes are so delicious here.) I also bought some fashion magazines like VOGUE and ELLE to read on the airplane.

12:30 PM/ 12:30
Packed my baggage.
Clothes (OMG, my baggage is full of new clothes.), iPod, MacBook, Canon 450D.

1:30 PM/ 13:30
My uncle, aunt and Lin brought me to Heathrow Airport by car.
Together we drank some STARBUCKS, then I checked in and waved them goodbye. (I miss them now already.)

4:00 PM/ 16:00
Took flight BA 0440 with British Airways to Amsterdam Schiphol.

6:10 PM/ 18:10 (AMSTERDAM TIME)
It seems that I arrived faster in Amsterdam than planned, cause my ticket says "18:35".
I picked up my baggage and because I still got some spare time, I bought myself some STARBUCKS . Again, haha I know I'm Starbucks addicted. Then I thook the train on at 7 PM.

8:30 PM/ 20:30
Once arrived in Eindhoven my mom picked me up by car.

So when I was home immediately surprised my mom with the LALIQUE's eclat bracelet I bought. She really love it although she said it was expensive. Then I showed my mom my new clothes and stuff haha. Talked about what I did and everything. I also phoned my cousin just to say everything is OK. I miss London now already haha.

I'm really tired, it's at the moment 11:23 PM and I'm writing this post.
I'd better get some sleep before I look like a panda tommorrow.

With hugs and kisses,

xoxo,

Shopping, Movie, Musical

2009-02-27T22:42:00.014+01:00

Friday, 27 February
Today we went shopping (again), and I decided to buy LALIQUE's eclat bracelet. Even though it was quite expensive. XD
Today I bought some new shirts and vests, I also bought a new pair of shoes. O gosh, I feel like a really "big spender" today.

Anyway, after we were done shopping we went to the cinema to watch "Confessions Of A Shopaholic", the movie is based on the popular series of chick-lit novels by Sophie Kinsella.
Want to know more about it? Click: Wikipedia
It was really funny and me and Lin really enjoyed, even though the script is a bit unfocussed. But the music was awesome. Lady Gaga's song "Fashion" is still stuck in my head. XD

We Will Rock You @ Dominion Theatre 19:30
After we we watched "Confessions Of A Shopaholic", we went to Tottenham Court Road were the Dominion Theatre is established. We went there to watch the famous musical "We Will Rock You" by Queen and Ben Elton. (I've tried to make some snapshots, but it was really dark + it wasn't allowed to make photo's) The musical began at 19:30 and ended somewhere about 23:00. I've seen this musical before, it was last year during my school trip. But because Lin haven't seen it yet, we decided to watch it. And I can tell you, this is the BEST musical I've seen so far. So if your going to visit London this year be sure to book tickets for this awesome musical, cause you won't regret it.

Tomorrow will be the last day in London, I'll take flight BA 0440 with British Airways to Amsterdam Schiphol. Aaaah, I don't want to go home that fast. :(

Btw, Lady Gaga's song "Fashion" is a really addictive song. If you don't have it already on your computer, iPod, mp3, mp4 etc. download it. I really love the lyrics, it goes like this:

Open spoiler

Ohhh Ohhh

I am, I'm too fabulous
I'm so fierce that it's so nuts
I live to be model thin
Dress me, I'm your mannequin

J'adore Vivienne habillez-moi

Louis, Dolce Gabbana, Alexander McQueen at all
Madame love those Manolo

Chinatown & London Eye

2009-02-26T22:01:00.007+01:00

Thursday, 26 February
Today me and my cousin Lin went to Chinatown in London, and it was soooo fun. XD We ate a lot of dim sum (is the name for a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea) in a Chinese restaurant and bought a lot of cakes in a bakery in Chinatown. *FOOD FOOD* It was really funny because there are A LOT of Chinese people there who spoke the same language. (Cantonese) I think I gained weight, but it doesn't really matter cause it was delicious.
If you want to know more about Chinatown London, click: here

London Eye
After we were in Chinatown, we went to the western end of Jubilee Gardens were the London Eye is established! It was the third time I was in the ferris wheel "The London Eye", but it still gives me a different experience. Maybe it's because the other times I was at the London Eye it was summer and winter. But anyway, together we had a lot of fun. Below are some snapshots with Lin's Canon IXUS camera. My digital single reflex camera Canon 450D ran out of power. (I forgot to charge it XD)

The end of the day...
Soon it became darker and darker and we decided to go home, but not without a stop at Starbucks. AGAIN (haha). Lin actually wanted to directly go home. But she agreed because she knew Starbucks was like a drug to me and that they only got 1 Starbucks in the Netherlands. Today it was a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it.

Tomorrow we'll go to The Dominion Theatre on Tottenham Court Road close to St Giles' Circus and Centre Point Tower, in the London Borough of Camden. We'll watch the famous musical "We Will Rock You" by Queen and Ben Elton.

Underground, Harrods, Starbucks

2009-02-25T23:19:00.006+01:00

Sunday-night
I arrived at Heathrow airport and waited until my aunt picked me up.
Oh gosh, I got nearly lost at Heathrow airport XD. Its UK's largest airport and BUSIEST! It is the world's third busiest airport in the world.
After the whole day traveling I slept immediately after I found my bed. XD

Monday, 23 February & Tuesday, 24 February
Monday morning I found out that I was ill. The whole Monday and Tuesday I did nothing than vomiting, sleeping and watching TV. I even couldn't face some food. Monday was the worst day so far, Tuesday I didn't ate anything but I've managed to drink some Starbucks. (You can always make me happy with some Starbucks XD)

Wednesday, 25 February
Today's activities
Rain - Umbrella
Transport - London Underground
Shopping - Harrods
Drinking - Starbucks

Today was an awesome day to me. (although it rained, but that's reason why we have the umbrella) Me and my cousin (girl) went shopping together, first we traveled with London's popular traveling system: The Underground. We visited a lot of stores, bought lots of clothes and ate a lot of things. Then we went to Harrods, which is one of the largest department stores in the world! Almost a year ago I was here in London too, but that was with school. The funny thing is that they didn't let me in last year with my classmates because we looked like children who were only going to look and not shop at Harrods. It was very funny that they let us in, because a year ago I looked like a little teenager. (I'm 15, and she is 17). It was actually not the first time that I was at Harrods. I've been there before too, but that was with my parents haha. Cause they only allow children/ little teenagers with their parents.

Anyway, I bought a shirt and some stuff like: Vera Wang Look Fragrance, face mask, cashmere mittens and moar. The cashmere mittens I bought is for my little sister, they were so cute pink and so soft and it was only £19.95! It looked like: t h i s
Then I felt in love with LALIQUE's eclat bracelet. It looked so perfect and nice. But it cost £240.00, which means that I could not decide whether I should buy it or not. I wanted to buy it for my mother, even though it isn't for her birthday but just as a surprise gift. So I'm still doubting. (See picture, click to enlarge)

After Harrods, we ended the day with a stop at STARBUCKS.
Every time I'm drinking Starbucks it reminds me to Hong Kong my hometown. That's because I got my first Starbucks in Hong Kong haha. ^^

I'm really tired at the moment, it's 11:16 PM local time here in London and I'm going to sleep.
Tomorrow I'll go to China Town and the London Eye.
Just can't wait until its tomorrow.

Take care,

Bye Bye Amsterdam!

2009-02-22T22:21:00.015+01:00

Bye Bye Amsterdam, Hello London!
12:00 PM/ 12:00
Packed my baggage.
Clothes (Not too much, cause I'm going to shop till I drop in London tee-hee!), iPod, MacBook, Canon 450D, Dutch syrup waffles.

3:00 PM/ 15:00
Went to some supermarkets in Eindhoven to buy some Dutch syrup waffles. (Cause my aunt loves them. XD)

5:02 PM/ 17:02
My mom brought me to Eindhoven train station by car.
Waved my mom goodbye and took the intercity train in Eindhoven to Schiphol.

5:52 PM/ 17:52
I came in Utrecht Central and bought myself some ice cream since I got to wait 6 minutes for my next train. By the way, the last time that I was in Utrecht Station I was like almost lost, damn that station is BIG. XD

6:29 PM/ 18:29
Then I arrived at 18:29 PM in Schiphol. The first thing I did was buying myself some coffee at Starbucks. Cause they only have one Starbucks in the Netherlands which is located in Schiphol.
I checked in, went to gate D12 and got to wait 2 hours before my plane arrived. (Because you must check in at least 2 hours before departure with European flights)

9:20 PM/ 21:20
Took flight BA 0443 with British Airways to London Heathrow. ^-^

9:35 PM/ 21:35 (LONDON TIME)
I arrived at Heathrow Airport in London and my flight took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Picked up my baggage and at the moment I'm writing this post using wireless with my MacBook at Heathrow.
The only thing I can do now is to wait, cause my aunt is going to pick me up soon.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeers! (as they all say here in UK)

Miu Miu strikes back with a new collection of bags

2009-02-12T16:26:00.028+01:00


▲Katie Holmes for Miu Miu

American actress Katie Holmes has been confirmed as the newest face of Miu Miu's spring/summer 09 campaign.

What is Miu Miu?
Some people asked me what kind of brand Miu Miu was since I started talking about their new campaign. Miu Miu is positioned as the daily-oriented, more affordable clothing line from the Prada fashion house, opened in 1992 and headed by Miuccia Prada. The name of the collection is taken from Miuccia Prada's nickname.

More information here: Miu Miu@ Wiki and here Official website

Miu Miu 2009 Spring/Summer
So a few days ago I saw their amazing new fashion shoots for their new bags. And I really love it. So sad I can only buy it on internet since they don't have any Miu Miu store in the Netherlands. Or I'll have to wait till I go on vacation to Hong Kong, cause they have like 5 Miu Miu stores in HK.

The risk of getting fake bags
So sad, I really want one of those bags so badly.
But it would be risky if I buy one on the internet cause there are so much fake bags around the web. And I'm not going to pay 250,- euros or more for a fake bag, I prefer a bag without a brand instead of carrying a fake one. So I think I'll have to wait until I'm in London or in Hong Kong. It's sooooo unfair. *sigh*

Anyway, here are some nice fashion icons I made from Miu Miu's promotion shoots :)

Cause all the hard work is finally paying off

Quote of the day:
A prudent question is one half of wisdom.

~ Francis Bacon

A lot of people are sometimes too shy to ask a question. But don't hesitate, ask and you'll get to know more about it.
Also, older people are a source of wisdom.

Blaah, haven't update my blog for moar than 2 days. I've been rushing with the layout I made for FahrenheitAvenue.eu. XD So glad it turned out nice. (See picture!)

I'm at the moment using a webhost that has only 200MB Disk Space and has only 5GB monthly bandwidth traffic.
And a webhost + domain is quite expensive if I have to pay it all by myself. Still hesitating whether I should upgrade my web space or not. Cause it will get way more expensive than the one I'm using now.

Anyway, I really love layout 1.0 I made for Fahrenheit Avenue. It's actually not my first layout I made for FA, but I scrapped the other ones because they were ugly. XD But all the hard work I did the last 2 days is really paying off. I mean, I'm so glad it turned out so well.

I'm not sure when I'll launch the new layout, still I have to change the CSS a bit and fix some bugs.

Hope it would be up soon.
With hugs and kisses,

xoxo,

So happy!

2 QUOTES OF THE DAY:

• You cannot always have happiness, but you can always give happiness.
• If you want to be happy, be.

Today, I got 2 quotes of the day. Use it wisely!

Why am I so happy?
Well, I'm going to tell it you now. My website with Little Stars have been on hiatus a while and I've felt myself a very very bad founder since the day I went on hiatus.

It's not that we're too lazy to update FA. But because of school, both of us have been very busy the last months that we didn't got time to update FA. And today, I've been working on a new "fansite" for FahrenheitAvenue.eu! I've been working for it a long while actually, but I got problems with errors from Wordpress and Cute News. Which I'm still struggling with. But I'll do my best to work it out and get things solved.

FahrenheitAvenue is coming back soon!
Yes it is going to happen, no matter if I have to struggle with those stupid errors. I'm sure I'm going to make it. Oh btw, I got 2 domains for FahrenheitAvenue. I got FahrenheitAvenue.com and FahrenheitAvenue.eu. Our forum about Fahrenheit is established on .com and our "fansite" is going to establish on .eu.

Visit FA.eu: FahrenheitAvenue.eu

Hope to have FA's fansite online soon. ^^
With hugs and kisses,

New Spring season at Mangoshop‏

2009-02-06T18:54:00.023+01:00

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Cause clothes are more like beautiful dreams than layers of fabric . . .

Mangoshop
Spring has arrived at Mangoshop.
You should take a look at their new collection.
Mangoshop

The Cruz sisters are back!
Penelope and Monica Cruz have a new, limited edition collection together for Spanish retailer Mango. And as with past collections from Penelope. We all like it, don't we? ^^ (and also the sisters of course!)

It’s not as on-point as some previous collections that Penelope’s done, solo, for the company, but it does manage to make runway trends a little more wearable off the runway.

About the collection
The sisters’ Spring / Summer 2009 collection allows you to have your pick of several little black dresses and dainty, ruffled tops, coupled with more tailored, menswear-inspired pieces like trenches.

Love their new collection
I really love their new collection, so I bought some clothes immediately at Mangoshop.com. I actually can't wait until they arrive. ^o^
Too bad they only accept credit cards, I got to use my daddy's one. (But that's nearly at every online fashion store, just like VictoriaSecret.com)

Some teasers
After I received the mail from Mango, I searched immediately around the web for some nice teasers.
And here they are! I made 6 icons that can be used for free. (This wasn't supposed to be a graphic blog but I couldn't stop myself to post some nice icons. HAHA)

Don't be a macho man,

2009-02-06T18:24:00.010+01:00

So I decided to put my previous on BlogSkins.com since some people asked me if they could get the layout for free for their Blogger.
So if you want my previous layout too, you can get it by going to:
Don't be a macho man,

I've spent my last past day on being super lazy, don't know when I'll make a new layout again. But I'm planning to make a new fansite for Fahrenheit, since my forum with Little Stars about Fahrenheit is like moar then 2 months on hiatus.
Both of us have been very busy the last months that we didn't got time to update.
But I think I'll just wait until the domain expires, then I'll buy a better webhost and a new domain.
We'll see. ^^

XO,

Paris Hilton My New BFF

2009-01-26T10:11:00.053+01:00

Welcome to the dollhouse, game on bitches.
So since the beginning of January I've been watching Paris Hilton's My New BFF episodes on Mtv.com and its awesome. There are a total of 10 episodes and today I finished watching the last episode. I recommend this to everyone who loves Paris to watch this.

About the Show
Open spoiler

Paris Hilton is a woman who needs no introduction, but she'd probably want one anyway. As America's #1 "it" girl, Paris and her entourage make headlines almost daily -- from parties at the hottest clubs to whirlwind weekend getaways to lavish shopping sprees. Rolling with Paris' inner circle is a pleasure normally reserved for A-list celebrity friends like Nicole Richie and Britney Spears, but Paris has decided that she wants a new BFF -- and Paris Hilton always gets what she wants.

With the celebutante at the helm, Paris Hilton's My New BFF is sure to be a reality show unlike any other. In it, Paris wields ultimate power. Her whim becomes law with a simple text message to her 18 potential new BFFs, and heaven help them if it's a frowny face. From her secluded VIP control room, Paris keeps a close eye on the contestants while making all the catty comments she wants. And if the wannabe BFFs aren't keeping her entertained, a simple "I'm bored" sent via text will whip everyone into a frenzy.

But the 14 tabloid-ready girls and two flamboyant guys vying for Paris Hilton's friendship will have to do more than just entertain the demanding diva; they'll have to prove they can handle her over-the-top lifestyle. Each week Paris will pose new challenges to the BFF hopefuls, who must rely on their wits, charm and looks to get ahead. Of course, Paris won't be going easy on them. She might invite them out to a club and "forget" to put their names on the guest list but still expect them to get in or bring them to Tokyo -- without luggage -- and tell them to be red carpet ready soon after touching down. Mean? Sure. Sadistic? You bet, but it's just another day at the "office" for the queen bee of celebrity.

Only one contestant will emerge victorious on Paris Hilton's My New BFF, and with 16 attention-starved jet-set wannabes living under one roof, drama is inevitable. As if that isn't enough, group challenges wherein teams are picked "schoolyard style" will put alliances to the test on a weekly basis. Fortunately, some two-way mirrors in the bathroom -- aka "gossip central" -- and a tell-all "burn book" will keep viewers in the loop about what's going down behind the scenes. That's hot!

Since Paris Hilton has total subjective control over who stays and who goes, it's up to the contestants to figure out what she's really looking for in a new best friend. Like any diva, Paris is prone to flights of fancy, so the quest for her affection will be a confusing one. Only those who play the game to perfection will find success on this most unpredictable quest to be Paris' new BFF!

TTYN? (Talk To You Never)
When one of the girls get beated off the show, Paris would say goodbye with a chronic "ttyn". A few friends who also watched the show asked me what TTYN meant so here is the answer: "Talk to you never".
TTYN is derived from "TTYL" which means "Talk to you later". It's used instead of saying goodbye.
So in the show Paris Hilton used TTYN instead of saying goodbye forever.
The funny thing is that she didn't said TTYN to everyone, but also said TTYS (Talk To You Soon) to the ones she liked but eliminated as BFF.

The elimination letter in the final episode
So at the end of the last final episode one of the two girls would be eliminated and receive the letter shown here on the right side. Click to view the original size (I blurred the name with Photoshop since I didn't want to spoil.)
So during the last episode I made a print screen from the letter that Paris wrote to the last friend she eliminated. And Paris really got a pretty manuscript.

Is this the end?
I really enjoyed the episodes but unfortunately there are only 10 episodes. But the great news is that Paris is coming up with a new show called "Paris Hilton's British Best Friend" that is going to air on 29 January!
So stay tuned.

XO,

Hiuxing

H&M launches new Spring/ Summer collection online

2009-01-23T20:18:00.048+01:00

A few weeks ago I received the new H&M Spring/ Summer catalog, but I haven't got time to blog about it since I got a "test-week" at school. :[
Anyway, their new collection is ass kicking.
Unfortunately you can only buy it online at the moment. You should check their new collection online by going to their website: H&M

Also, I already spent over 150$ dollars on a online-clothing website from Asia since I had to spent over 150$ just to get free shipping to the Netherlands. XD
I'm glad my dad is on business trip since he would be like: "WTH, you bought moar clothes AGAIN?!"

By the way, I just noticed that is was weekend.
Woooooooooh.
And I'm so glad the test week is finally over, since I got like 9, oh no 10 tests.

I had Netherlands, Biology, German, Society, Economy, English, Mathematics and last but not least History.
Everything was easy except writing a letter in the German language. But that's because I suck at writing letters in the German language. Hahaha :]

Hope you guys will have a happy weekend.

Just so you know I'm not dead

2009-01-17T15:25:00.002+01:00

Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence this winter. I have been working almost every day, and the days I do get off are spent being super lazy. Unfortunately it will continue until February or later...

First of all, I would like to thank all of those who have added me to their friends lists in the past few months on LiveJournal. I can't believe the numbers of people that still come there even though I fail at updating. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :D

And for all those who have submitted questions to my faq page: I apologize for the delay in response. My absence has made hundreds of questions pile up and I'm trying to get to them one by one. It's going to take some time.

About
My real name is Hiuxing (曉晴) but also known as Hiu, Sue and I'm 15 yrs old. I'm a starbucks junky, fashion obsessed person, experimental photographer, photoshop enthusiast, and nerd/ dork.

Moar?
Currently living in the Netherlands but hopefully not for long. I try to update my journal/ blogspot often but things get in the way so it's a good thing if I update it at least once every week.

Gimme moarrr
I'm currently doing my fourth year in High School. Music is my boyfriend and my digital SLR-camera is my baby. The days I get off are spent on fashion photography, drawing fashion designs, creating web layouts, reading books, investing and being super lazy. Open to learn new things and getting to know new people.

Just can't get enough?
Some random favorites:

Love to eat spaghetti, subway and to drink Starbucks. My favorite music genres are

Jpop, Kpop and Cpop but music like Lady GaGa, Britney Spears, Beyonce are fine too.
I love to wear clothes from Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese brands. But H&M, MANGO and ZARA are also a big favorite.
Love to snap around with single reflex cameras. Owning a Canon 450D at the moment.
Would like to work in the economic sector some day.

Inspired by people who are chases their dreams/ People who have reached their dreams.
So keep chasing your dreams

I've high goals & big dreams and I'll do whatever it takes to reach them.
