Almost Famous

I recently joined the contest organised by NTV7 What Men Want, which is the Win Narmi's Heart contest. Well, Narmi has announced the winner today, in a video!

I was kind of bummed that I didn't win, but that's okay. At least I tried, right? :) To think that I almost didn't submit my entries, I'm glad I did, otherwise, my poem won't be read by Narmi himself in the video.

I'm so happy that both my entries (my blog post and my poem) made it, and although Narmi won't be coming to Kuching to serenade me, it's so cool that he actually likes my poem. I hope he will make it into a song like he said he would.

Narmi told me on Twitter that he's coming to Kuching for a show soon, and it's in negotiation process. Now that's something I won't miss for the world! Woohoo! I'll drag my friend along if Jojo won't accompany me. :D

Thanks NTV7 for the contest, and thanks Narmi for picking my entries among the many. Yay!

Zalora Outfit Makeover Contest

Zalora is the current talk of the town! Seriously, if you haven't heard of Zalora, you're missing out on a lot! Zalora Malaysia is the fastest growing online fashion shopping mall in Malaysia, and in conjunction with their grand launch, Zalora has announce Zalora Outfit Makeover contest for bloggers like me!

Yup, pardon my exclamation marks because I am very excited about this contest. Since I love Polyvore so much, I decided to make not one but TWO Polyvore sets based on the Zalora items that I love!

The first set is Boho Look, which I love. I don't own enough boho pieces to look chic or fashionable. I have also been wanting to get a maxi dress for myself. Don't you think the dresses look pretty?

The beauty of it is, I can wear the maxi dress on its own, or I can also wear it with a cardigan for a more formal look. I can totally picture myself wearing one of those maxi dresses for a girl's day out with my BFF. :)

Zalora #1 by phatelara featuring dresses

Items list for Zalora #1:

Eight Degree - Ribbon Printed Maxi Dress - RM79.95

Eight Degree - Pleated Maxi Dress - RM79.95

Kate's Closet by Intoxi-Kate - Lilo Tube Maxi Dress - RM349.00

Rockin' Reptile - Flat Sandals With Embellished Beads And Crystals - RM219.90
Chic Chic - Green Coloured Bangle - RM29.90

Total - RM758.70

------------------------------------------------------------

The second set is Casual Boho, which is more of my style. I love jeans and I would love to get my hands on those jeans. I'm more on the plump side, so those loose-fitting tops would flatter me a great deal. I'm usually a jeans and tee girl, but I'd like to wear something more age-appropriate, since I recently hit the big 3-0!

I also love, love, love flat sandals with boho details! I think they're so versatile, and can be worn with almost anything. They're a bit classier than regular flip-flops, and yet they are casual enough to be worn daily.

A Letter to Narmi

Dear Narmi,

Firstly, I don't know where you've read my first entry, which is a poem. If you haven't, well, tada, I do have a poem for you. It's cheesy, but since you said you love cheese, I hope my super cheesy poem makes you smile.

I've been a fan of One Buck Short for a while now, since Rock The World IV where you guys performed "That Day". When I watched the second episode of What Men Want on NTV7, I saw you in that rooftop-skype scene, and I fell. I fell for the guy who's in love with the clueless girl, who's seeing someone else. That time I didn't know it was you, Imran the OBS drummer. I thought I was watching a scripted drama or something.

Then, as I found out more about What Men Want, I got to know who you are. I did some searching and found your tweet handle. I don't know if you remember my first tweet, but I do.

I'm sure you've received so many compliments that they make you feel somewhat embarrassed, but you're very talented, and you're amazing. You have inspired many, including me, to be more creative. I never knew I could write cheesy poems and you inspired me to write them, so there.

I'm probably your biggest fan. Sure, I can't sing well, I can't play any musical instruments, and my poems are cheesy, but I can tell you one thing, I can write. Writing is what I love, and probably do best. I write from the heart. I have been writing several blog posts on my two blogs about you, and aside from supporting your solo career, I support your career with One Buck Short as well.

Okay prepare for 'em! Here are the links of the blog posts that I wrote:

I also created 2 Polyvore sets based on your outfits. For your information, Polyvore is a website, where the members can create fashion sets by choosing everything from outfits to makeup and accessories according to the look that they like. The sets that I created are based on your outfits. You have to see them to get the idea.

It was so much fun creating these sets, and please don't think of it as creepy. I know you might feel embarrassed or flattered (the latter, I hope), but it's just how you inspire me.

You probably don't remember this but you're on Pinterest too! Here's the link: http://pinterest.com/pin/245305510923389726/

What else do I know about you? Oh I know a lot; you're born on 21 December and you're a Capritarius, you love sushi, and your favourite colour is green. I know you like taking photos of the sky, clouds, and sunsets too.

I have downloaded 7 of your songs and covers, and I have them on my phone. I also follow you on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, to name a few.

Haha I do sound like an obsessed fangirl eh? :P

My brother, Jojo has become a fan of your music, and we've been singing your songs Cair and Whirl, a lot. Soon, we'll be able to memorise the lyrics and sing along with you when we attend your show in the future. Wheeee! :) We've never missed your video streaming session, so far. No matter how slow our Internet connection was, we would tune in without fail. Yay!

So good luck Narmi, on your EP, future shows, and your debut album, and I hope I'll be able to see your live performance when I come down to KL very soon. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Stay grounded, stay humble, be yourself, and keep it real, always! :)

Sincerely,

Debbie
