When I went for my first dress fitting, the head seamstress mistook me for a fresh grad applying for a job at the atelier 😂 probably because I showed up in overalls and alone. My wedding dress was a custom from @fuchsia_lane, a modified design I asked for featuring fabrics I picked out. I was not interested in a traditional white wedding dress and that blue lace was a love at first sight situation. I’d wanted a qipao collar with some modern trappings and more leg room to tromp around in and this dress did exactly all those things while also offering some sexy back ;) To match my collar, Cedric’s custom navy three piece suit, made in HK by this 👌👌 Indian-owned tailoring company, also featured a mandarin collar. Additionally, Cedric & I wore matching necklaces from @rongdesigns, ft upcycled wood, in complementary designs that I requested. They turned out spectacular and now I wear both necklaces casually haha... (by contrast, my earrings cost 50hkd from a shop somewhere in HK and my shoes were on sale for 35cad 🤪) I was bestowed the honour of dressing my whole family and my dad’s suit was a tailored set I picked out for him in Taiwan, and my momma’s outfit was a mix and match embroidered shirt / pants also from @fuchsia_lane 😌 I will conclude this oversharing with the fact that my family is very good looking. #jaziimun #wedding
One of my favourite photos that @janicecyli took on my wedding day. It was a check-in moment, AND a check out moment ;) coz hot damn i looked amaaaaazing 😌 // on another note, we had an unplugged wedding and so there’s not many photos available on social media. i also asked for it to be documented only in analogue so the photos are precious, since not all of them were successful. It’s been almost a year and I’m still reorganizing and sorting content. Would ppl like to see more / hear more about how cedric & i did our wedding? Lmk in the comments pls.
On the spring equinox, @july_may gifted me a mangosteen. m a n g o s t e e n. 🥺
Spring please come faster, please.
First light in these fresh lil bbs.
The view while I was having my bee hoon soup. 😌 #langkawi #malaysiatrulyasia
today i was slightly wrecked by a bowl of lotus soup. 🥺
Learning how to work hard play hard and rest hard with the seasons. It’s hard 😂 balance is hard. how does the world manage?

been creating things while stressing and writing and stressing about writing, then stressing about everything / my creating things will be revealed once springs fully greets us / my other things will hopefully be calm by then. 잠시 모든 것들이 다 해결 되고 끝날 때까지 사회생활에서 숨고 싶다. 몇 주 동안 내가 필요한 시간들만 만들어야지.
back when warm; and when my exhaustion from the weather could be recovered with ice cream. - how anyone can deal with my weirdness for over eleven years is a surprise, and i’ve learned over the years that only someone who’s as weird as me can. 항상 고마운 친구; 생각해보니깐 우리 둘의 생일이 정말로 여기서 쓸데없이 스페셜한 날 다음 날이네...아직은 일렀지만 2주 후면 2주일찍언니 곧 나보다 2주일찍 한 살 먹네...
saying goodbye to this unpredictable snowstorm of a month (will this winter ever be over?) with some highlights of food that kept our stomachs warm & an appreciation post on his cooking skills that i didn’t know for years until now. - 1) bc i craved; 2) a recovery from his previous bad pasta; 3) bc i craved; 4) a korean staple; 5) bc i craved; 6) bc he craved; 7) a korean staple with extra points for 꽁치(가 영어로 뭐지)... 근데 음식들 색깔이 뭔가 다 주황색...
some flowers for the snowy chilly days. (been creating a collection of flowers for future sth) - 내 곁에서 나를 믿어주고 응원해주는 계속 있어 줄 거라는 소중한 사람들 그들이 없으면, 나는 꿈을 꾸지 못한다.
the most special hour of my two week visit / when i put myself to test to be a fun sister / i am grateful we can be friends despite having lived an ocean away since he was born / despite our age difference (which i think my mental age may match his) / that as he grows, he shows care (although i still find it gross that he’s so much taller than me) / to hold the weight to continue to be a sister he will look up to / february is his month and the lead up to his next big step / i believe 태어났을 때 부터 누나랑 떨어져 살았지만, 항상 누나 생각을 해주고 가끔 만나면 친구처럼 지낼 수 있어서 너무 고맙다. 누나의 황금돼지띠해에 새로운 인생의 단계를 시작하게 되는데 잘 버티고 잘 해낼거라고 믿는다.
i keep thinking about the cotton candy filled blue sky floating above the first day of 2019, and how i’ve never seen such a thing before. - 미래에 대한 고민을 큰 보따리 만큼 들고 2019년을 맞이했다. 그리고 그 고민은 나를 위해서 라는 믿음이 가득한 결정으로 변했고 현재 나한테 ‘잘 했어’ ‘잘 해 왔잖아’ ‘잘 할 수 있어’ 라고 계속 소리지르고 있다. 고민을 행동으로 바꾸자. 그러자.
second stop on january 1st morning with my dad: 선유도仙遊島공원 // a hangang river filtration plant which got transformed into a park with a beautiful walkway, an outdoor theatre and arts space, a cafe and others. apparently one of the best of modern korean architecture. - beginning thoughts: to restore, renovate, refurbish. a life; is that possible. or to steer your life into something exciting. something known but unknown, or the other way around. or to enlighten what seems so overused; or rather to believe that it is very much possible. - 하늘이 참 예쁘다.
my favourites from the exhibition by my favourite illustrator. within the collection of vibrant, jarring, playful stories, these two remained silent waiting; or calmly living. - 아직도 머리에서 맴 도는 두 그림. 밝고 강렬한 이야기들 속에 나란히 걸려있던 은은한 분위기의 두 그림. 조용히, 기다리며. 혹은 차분하게 살아가는.
on the first day of twenty eighteen, my dad sent me photos from his early morning adventure to gwacheon museum of contemporary art. - on the first day of twenty nineteen, i joined my dad on his second annual adventure to the museum. we took photos with statues that should not be touched & marvelled at the blanket of clouds glistening in the clear blue sky.
