Curious Traveller

So weeks ago I posted in my instagram that a "new blog post is coming soon", and these pictures totally slipped my mind I am sorry. Here I tried editing with soft focus and brightness, which I kinda like in the end.

Trust me it was really sunny that day I took these pictures and therefore I thought "Hey, it is finally time for the lace parasol I bought to be featured!" 

Apart from the cute lace parasol, I also featured the big-ass vintage leather backpack I bought quite some time ago. Aaand, I did a victory roll on my hair but it is hardly noticeable with my black hair.

I think that I can fit a petite person in that backpack.

Guys, truth about lace parasol: they do not help much during sunny day, especially like our kind of sunny days in the vicious heat of Jakarta. However they are really really cute and I would still advice anyone out there to purchase it, just because.

About the backpack, I find it very useful. Personally I would recommend anyone to have a huge backpack in store to stuff it with emergency stuff including clothing, medicine and dry foods. This is just in case you need to bolt immediately during unexpected occasions. What unexpected occasions? Let's say zombie apocalypse maybe, or anything that is more realistic like flood evacuation or earthquake (yess I like doomsday prepper).

I sincerely hope that this post is enjoyable, any comments and suggestions about photo-taking and editing is welcome.

A Day at Work

Dear All,

Welcome to my new blog post after quite a while. This post will take you along with me at work ;)

Before that I will tell you that I have been now for more than 6 months working for PT MAP. MAP is a retail company that imported loads of fashion brands, food, and other products to Indonesia. Some brands that you may be familiar of are probably: ZARA (Inditex group), MaxMara, DKNY, Topshop. As for food, MAP did brought in Starbucks, Burger King (praise be Lord), and many others.

My profession is Visual Merchandiser for 'Forever New'. This brand is originated from where Koalas are, Australia. In Jakarta, Indonesia, Forever New stores are located at Kota Kasablanka and Kemang Village.

So here are some snaps that I have been accumulated while I was at work:

As a Visual Merchandiser, I am required to arrange Window Display, Floor layout as well as other 3-dimensional displays to maximise sales.

It is quite fun really! I get to dress the mannequins and style their hair... This is not standard Forever New hairstyle, but it suits this girl for that time, so I guess it is fine.

Floor layout and wall display here. I have to ensure they have the balance in colors and weight (cannot be too heavy at one side or too dark).

Me dressing up the Torso, blurry but I really like it.

Me having fun with reflections and stuff.

There are many great things that I came to learn while being a VM. It is so much fun and tiring at the same time. There are some perks too, like trying out items that are not out yet, also I get employee discount 25% off for most of MAP products.

Cheers everyone!
