Tiny House & Container House

With praise to God, I bid you a lovely Friday.

Today I want to share one of my dream plan. Since everyone will need a home one day when they grow up and start builds their own family, money can be a problem. It is okay to dream big but sometime it is hard to make it a reality. Since I am in my early 20’s I realize that by planning for my future is one of the essential things to do so that I can prepare on my future. So, I came out with the idea of living big in small house.

Tiny House

You can check out Tiny House in https://www.youtube.com/ where a lot of houses that are built small and compact. The furniture’s are very practical and multi-purpose. Usually, tiny house pack with loft/attic where the owner will place their bed usually it is a queen size bed. There will be 1 bed, 1 toilet, kitchen, small dining table and sofa plus TV. It is more like a cottage where you can install air condition if you want the house to be cool. Moreover, tiny house might be small, so by installing big windows and sliding door will provide great view of the outside and make the house look big. There are tiny house with bunk bed or double deck bed for extra bed and usually the sofa can also be used as bed/sofa. The ceiling usually is tall so it will give the sense of spacious space. Therefore, owning a house will not be a big problem since any size of houses can be live by us if we are flexible and be positive with it.

Container House

On the other side, this idea that came from my brother is one of the ideas that I totally support since it will save a lot of money to build a house. Constructing this house is like playing with lego. It is fun where all your creative ideas can be contribute in designing the house. In Malaysia, this type of house usually being own by single person or people who want to live without debt. A brilliant idea to start your life with your own house where no debt will follow you. I am talking about the container house. It might sound funny as we live in a steel box. No, not really. It is really interesting to be living in a container house. You can intersect two or more containers that will provide more space than you can imagine. Having a small garden or balcony is also a plus. The cost of a 20’ long pre-used dry container is around RM5,000 and 40’ long pre-used dry container cost around RM8,000. You can install toilet and kitchen utilities with the installation of wires to provide electricity, and then you can have your tiny house. You are also need to find a suitable land before purchasing the container. Owning your own land is good for your future. You can check on container house in https://www.youtube.com/ or in Google to get the idea of a container house.

Wedding Dress

With praise to God, I bid you a lovely Monday.

I am interested in looking at how people chose their right dresses and I came across one of TLC channel’s show called Say Yes to the Dress where brides came to the bridal wedding dress shop to shop their wedding clothes.. It is fun because we can see how people choose their dresses at the average of 3 times trial of changing wedding dress that suit their body and personality.. It also shows how difficult it is to choose a perfect dresses to those brides.. Some of them have different opinion from family, friends or even their fiancé.. They have different opinion and likes over the dress and there also need to follow their budget (unless you have limitless money) but at the end of the drama, they find their perfect dresses, yay!

Since I am over 20 by now, I realize that married is not a foreign topic anymore.. In a blink of an eye, my only big brother decided to tie the knot at the end of this year or early next year. By then, I realize that soon it is going to be my turn. Dang!. By the way, choosing daily clothes can be a pain and time consuming, therefore by putting our self on the bride shoe can be one long journey to find the perfect dress..

Vintage Clothing

With praise to God, I bid you a lovely Friday.

I've set my eyes on vintage clothing few months ago since I finished my diploma and surprisingly, I accept vintage fashion more than I thought I will.. Thanks to L.A Frock Star in Life Inspire Channel (The Way We Wore), I've realize how beautiful vintage fashion is.. To be honest, I don’t have any sense of humour in fashion which means that I have a bad eye in fashion.. I did not understand how people say that they can differentiate a black dress and another black dress based on the detail and pattern because it looks black and plain to me.. And same goes with other fashion clothing.. But when I watch this channel, I realize that by observing the reaction and those beautiful smile on their faces, those clothes must be special and one of a kind.. And some of the clothes cost thousands of dollar which is normal?.. Whatever it is, I realize that not only modern clothes that can capture people heart (and money) but also how people put effort in bring out the old and modified it so that it suit the owners’ taste..

To be clear, vintage is fashion that is too old to be considered modern, but not old enough to be considered antique. (urban dictionary). Now day, people are creative in matching all types of clothes whether it’s new or old and create new style.. I don’t know much about it but sometime it work on me too.. Today’s generation enhance us to bring new food on the table where new ideas and innovation are welcome..

I’ve done some searching and since I’m new in this fashion thing, I am not expose to the shops around me so I found this shop where you can buy fordable vintage clothes at range of RM15.. I am so excited to see it for myself but I’m not sure if it’s still open and available or not.. I’m not sure whether it is the name of the shop or not but what I found is “Reject Stock from Japan and USA” located at Carrefour Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. You can also check on other shops at http://www.tonguechic.com/shops/top-4-vintage-shops-in-malaysia/ by Shantee Lim. Her discovery is very useful for newbie like me and for those who are interest in finding vintage clothes in Malaysia.
