This year has been a rollercoaster for me as I take on a new role – motherhood. On top of my existing roles of a writer, social media personality, creative director and wife. Amidst the chaos of juggling (and naturally, prioritising our daughter), here’s me taking some time to properly celebrate the...
10 years. Wow! 10 freaking years! For those who dont know, Sue Lynn and I work on Bangsar babe on a part time basis. A lot of people ask us, “How do you keep it up for TEN YEARS?” The answer is PASSION. When people see the passion, they will buy into what we do. [] The post 2017...
Earlier this year, Jien and I considered the idea of celebrating Bangsar Babe’s 10th Anniversary in the form of a cocktail party – similar to the brand’s 8th Anniversary but we were hoping, better. Given how shorthanded we are as a team, we knew the planning for #BB10 wasn’t going to be easy.
It’s been close to 10 years ago since I started this blog and looking back, the Bangsar Babe brand has come a long way. Or at least it seems so to me. What initially began as a food and travel diary is now a trademarked brand with endorsements and collaborations with other lifestyle brands. Many []...
It’s been almost a week since I last updated this blog, partly because work has been all-consuming and I was really focusing on client projects from the agency end. I also took a short break from blogging because Jien whisked me away to Lombok for a short retreat to celebrate my birthday. The year has...
I’ve been using Facebook since 2006 and in 2010, Bangsar Babe’s Facebook Page was created as a way for me to post updates and connect with my fans. The page was verified some time in 2014, a milestone I’m proud of after years of hard work. My personal page isn’t half as active as Bangsar []...
As 2016 comes to an end, Jien and I reflected on the past 12 months – the accomplishments and “growing pains” we’ve had to endure. He’s always been the more positive one, choosing to look at the glass half full whenever the going gets tough. I guess that’s how we complement one another in many...
It’s been quite a while since I did a fashion post – workload is piling and there has been a couple of changes at the office. Those aside, here is one of my favourite “day to date” look, in classic black. I’m so in love with this pantsuit from Mori Pin, where the bottom has [] The post...
A friend of mine once told me “only bitchy people have musings” and while I wanted to retaliate in disagreement, he’s right. Those with strong opinions tend to muse more often and I fall into that category. Not that I’m bitchy (angelic smile), though some people might feel so if they rub me the...
As someone whos been blogging for more than 8 years, I consider myself one of the pioneers when it comes to the blogging industry. Jien and I receive emails on a daily basis, mostly for reviews and advertorials. And while we try to accommodate those requests as best as we can, it is hard to []...
Sometime in late 2010, I created the Bangsar Babe® Facebook Page with a humble start of 250 fans – most of them, my personal friends. Over the years, the fan base increased and the Bangsar Babe® brand grew as a result of that. It’s been more than 5 years since I started and today, the Bangsar...
As most of you know, the blog has reached a stage where I now require extra help in the form of contributors, photographers and interns. And Ive been interviewing candidates in search of suitable additions to the Bangsar Babe team. While I have difficulties letting go and giving in to differences, I...
Going Up To be the best, you need to play with the best. Noun: Appreciation; the Oxford dictionary defines “appreciation” as, the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something, or gratitude for something. This year, the Bangsar Babe team (Sue Lynn and...
As many of you probably noticed on Facebook and Instagram, Bangsarbabe.com celebrated 8 years of blogging and social media success on 5th November 2015, and Haig Club supported the event as our main sponsor. rif and I have been planning this since March and we’re so glad to have Haig Club on board with us...
Close to two years ago, Kiefer from Longwood Assets suggested that I consider trademarking the Bangsar Babe brand. And he had a good point. The brand is constantly growing and it would be good to take it to the next level – to get the ® for Bangsarbabe.com. For people like me, it sounded like []...
Hi all, Work has been pretty crazy so while I gather my thoughts and get back into the writing groove, here’s my new blog header – one of the series of headers I did with Rebecca Viveash. I absolutely LOVE the outcome. Let me know what you think! Website: www.viveashphotography.co.uk Blog:...
I spend a great deal of time creating and curating content for my blog and social media channels, and many of my updates are timed accordingly. It is rare that I would post a photo online immediately, without considering the impact or consequences of what I put out there. I write and prepare my blog...
I had the most amazing birthday weekend last week, where I celebrated my special day with a group of close friends, family members and my beloved half. It was a three day celebration that started with a private dinner at Prime with friends where Chef Antoine and his team planned and served us an amazing...
I’ve been thinking long and hard when it comes to conceptualising the next Bangsar Babe blog header and its succession plans – a photo series. Like my previous concept headers, this header has to reflect the brand as it is and the “yin yang” factor has to be present. Shared this idea with rif since...
It’s been a crazy last few weeks for me, having travelled to London for Haig Club London, then Singapore and Taipei for work and blog purposes respectively, and then Singapore again. While I feel fortunate to be blessed with these opportunities, the change in environment and lifestyle sometimes affects...
