my life has been hectic lately... hence my inactivation on dA... very busy indeed..

just a short update here...

i moved into a nice little flat in london close to my school.. had a great time furnishing my crib.. but the cleaning is just a big pain... but it was all well done.. im content and satisfied..

then i went on traveling with a friend.. first paris followed by madrid then asturias and finally barcelona...had such fun with my friends and just bit blue it all ended... good times ends fast no?

its london fashion week now and had some tickets to some of the show. it was impressive how designers can manage in such chaotic environment.. got backstage to one of the shows and i almost cant believe my eyes... clothing everywhere and naked models running around while changing.. quite a scene... but the finale is all that matters... all end well...

next week will be the beginning of my term at college... im very excited since after preparing my portfolio for soooo long im up for new challenges.. but mind you there will be over 600 students just in my course alone.. the competition will be stiff... hopefully i'll manage... we'll see...

anyways i've been always wanting to post my new deviation... its a pair of show shoes similar to moonlight.. will do soon because i can never get a good pic out of it... hopefully with my improved skills in photography i can do something about it...

so till then take care...

OMG!
OMG!
OMG!

this is definately what my responce when i open my dA today... 1082 msgs and comments? ! i really thought someone hacked into my account or something....

then i realized it....i cant believe this (i mean seriously)!!!!! DAILY DEVIATION??!!!! that just made my day...

I cannot thank enough for this suggestion... i would also thank all who watched, faved and complimented on my deviations... im really honored and flattered.....im so sorry i couldnt answer all the questions and comments of you guys cos i have little time but really i have read them all.. so a big THANK YOU to all of you...

sadly i went for an exam trip and did not open my dA on the day i got my daily deviation.... but omg i am really speechless right now!! you guys have no idea how grateful i am right now! THANK YOU!

here's my story again.. i've been designing shoes since i was about 15... my dad is a shoe designer and i've been interning in and out during my holidays in making and designing shoes.... i learn to make shoe samples and prototypes with the help of the craftmen and women in his company... i papercut each shoe design and sew them up then last them.. lasting are the toughest so usually i sort help with it especially court shoes.... i bead them at the end of the process...

my shoes are pretty much embellished as you all can see... they are of simple designs but i embellished them with crystals beads and pearls to be more outstanding.. i love creating crystal show shoes (that are fragile) like moonlight couture...

I am still interning in my dad's so some of the simpler designs in his website : [link] ... some shoes are made to fit though and it changes every season... if you are lucky u may find them in your country...

However i've grew up looking shoes and kinda got bored... yea i koe.... i love jewelry making more than shoe design and making.. as u all can see that those shoes i've made are very decorative... but i will make a show shoe once in a while for a collection... one-of-a-kind size 37 shoes (my size)...lol... its better of as my hobby no?

hence i've decided to study at Central Saint Martins in jewelry design... will be after i complete the foundation....sigh...long more to go...

now since is my holiday im making another crazy pair... but this time even crazier... you'll see....soon...

p.s - Moonlight is still not for sale ...sorry...

hi to those who watch me, im so sorry i've been a big butt not updating and all.. i've never been sooooooooooooooooooooooo buzy in my life! and i crossed my 10000 pageviews which was great but i dun think i deserve it... but i sincerely thank to those who's been faving and watch me and my stuff....thanks!

first i've been traveling a lot round europe for business and personal reasons and im actually going to italy tomorrow (i came back from prague 2 days ago)... i'll be going back to malaysia on the 30th. so buzy with the packing and all...

then school's been killing me!! so many assignments and blah... but now its my holiday and i can just breathe for a while...

fyi my decaying beauty collection are hanging half way thru... the casting went wrong and i need to cast it in brass instead! arggg! so frustrated and mad bout it... i will try my best to finish it asap... its just i have soooooooooo many things to do before school reopens..blah!!!!!

anyway my current project is a pair of shoe... been planning to make it for a month.. it will be quite similar to moonlight couture tho.. but the differences are the colour and the height of it.. and different materials too.. that i will post by beginning of june... i promise i will or u guys can ban me from dA! LOL...

so thats my life right now..in a state of mess.... but be patient.. good things make them wait.

and oh yea, its my 19th bday today. my wish is just to get everything done right.

till then,

Well its been more than a year here on dA...time flies (seriously).... im really feeling blessed and all...got good amount of pageviews and faves.. thanks to all who watch and the faves..

ok i admit i have been lazy for the past 2 months for not submitting and updating.. the thing is there something wrong on my laptop and couldnt log onto dA... something about the cookies and only recently my friend manage to adjust it.. and yea hooray! (i've been using my workplace's computer to log in to just fave stuff..shhhhhh!)

submitting also is a problem for me as i have begun school and boy am i buzy!! its so tiring and really need time to get used to it after a year's break.. well at least i got to make friends in school... and oh yea... i got in to Central Saint Martins!! weeeeeeeee....

anyways my Decaying Beauty collection are almost done... sorry for the delay... give me a month or so to finish it... student life in london is quite tough.. assignments everyday!! how i miss making shoes and my country...

speaking of shoes.. i am (or will) making a pair similiar but more elaborate than Moonlight...hint hint... but that needs even more time...so stay tune...

until then... have a great month
