    Best bak kut teh ever.

    Have always loooved Malaysia's herbal styled pork rib soup, but Ruizhang always puts it down saying Singapore's better.

    After having the peppery Bak Kut Teh at Ng Ah Sio, I totally haaaaave to agree, I'm a convert ! I'm a little more open minded though, still love the Bak Kut Tehs in Malaysia, but none, NONE I have ever tried can compare to this.

    The broth packs such a right amount of punch that every other soup tastes bland compared to this.

    Craving it all the time ! I get super happy everytime I hear we're heading there ! Slurp.

    Haven't updated in so long, it's been such a great time lately !

    School's out after exams, and honestly, I don't miss it one teeeeeeeny little bit.

    Haha, am pretty sure I will NEVER be one of those people who talk about missing school after graduation, we've been studying for WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long, like, come on.

    But I think I'll miss times like these though, after exams where I get months of holidays, with zero studying involved. Weeeeee !

    Anyhow, the crux of this post is to highlight how excited I am for the coming collections !! I spent alot alot of time scouring high and low for pretty designs to bring in and I do hope they're up to par in the next few collections.

    There are going to be lots of Topshop, H&M, Zara inspired designs (who can resist NOT having to pay an arm and leg for pretty thoughtfully designed clothing, right, RIGHT??), argh so excited !!!

    Plus I think it's an awesome season this time around, sooo much pretty candy pastels, florals, and lightweight whimsy clothing ! Cannot resist.

    Here's a look into the banner which will be up soon on the site.

    Photobucket

    The top banner are some previews of the items that will be launched in the coming collection. They're super pretty aren't they???? All very very exclusive too, specially hand picked to be flown in ! (:

    50 ! It's been alot of hardwork, but I seriously want to thank every customer who has given us positive compliments (sometimes when I feel down or stressed out with all the work, it's like, a simple comment of 'I really like the item !' just wipes EVERY WORRY away).

    And even to the girls who have proposed feedback to help us do better, I really appreciate them too as they bring light to the methods that I've employed wrongly all these time and really allows me to change the way I do things.

    But as for the none constructive negative comments, hmmmmm. Well, haha. I guess I understand everyone has to let out steam.


    Photobucket

    These pastel candy coloured jeans inspired by Topshop will be launched too, hopefully they'll arrive by this coming collection, fingers crossed ! (: Am also trying to bring in a larger array of sizes so the fit will be better for everyone !

    Since there won't be a collection this week, look out for our SALES !

    I seldom hold sales and don't really like conducting them cause I find it quite a hassle to search for all the old photos and pack all the old stocks together. Haha, so don't miss this one okay !

    In the meantime, do suggest more stuff you girls would like to see on our formspring like aztec or pastels or galaxy prints, will definitely try to bring them in !

    . . . . . . . . . . . .

    On another note, finally came across White Rabbit theother day (yay!), found the place quicker than I thought we would and managed to have dinner there !

    The lobster pasta something was reaaaaaaaally good (so gluttony forgot pictures ): ), but the place's really dim at night man. Think it would be much better to dine there in the day.

    Hellooo youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

    Haven't written in quite awhile, found myself in a particularly good mood tonight (always am after being nicely fed) albeit having several less than pleasant thoughts to be worried about.

    Exams !! My exams are impending !! But nevermind that for now. (:

    My main reason for writing is to share something absolutely wonderful !

    Haha, you see, some time ago when I was having a manicure, a girl stepped in to accompany her friend. I noticed that she wasn't doing her nails herself and also conveniently overheard telling the manicurist that she had already done hers in China some time ago.

    Okay la. I give. I am the super kepo sort who will look, study and eavesdrop on people when I'm doing stuff like my nails, having lunch, dinner, on the train... the list goes on. Lol. Okay. I am just super kepo.

    Or overtly inquisitive, as I would like to call it myself.

    Back to the subject. Because the store was so small and the girl was speaking rather loudly, I couldn't help but overhear (ahem) them, and then of course, I couldn't help but stick my neck out to search for her nails.

    Haha !!

    I was almost blinded my them man !! They were so fabulous, I can't forget them till this day.

    I was wondering what sort of bling she had on only to realize that they looked more like platinum nail polish.

    In my mind, I was all 'WHAT SORT OF SORCERY IS THIS', or am I just suagu, I don't know but her nails were gorgeeeeeeeeous.

    So of course, when the boy came to pick me up after I was done, like a typical gossip monger auntie, I told him to 'looook !! Looooook see the girl's nails !!! It's so nice ! It's unlike anything I have ever seen !!'.

    I went on to return home to search high and low at Smoochiezz's but couldn't even find anything close.

    A couple days ago, he actually told me he found it !!!

    I got the design ordered, and it just arrived yesterdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !

    Okay okay, to not leave you hanging any longer, here are photos.

    I think it's actually called chrome nails or something?


    Photobucket

    It's supposed to look like this when put on, but alas.

    My nails are ruined right now with all the gelish I've had on in the past months and they are suuuuuper uneven and rough.

    I don't think I'll be able to get this effect if I had them on my nails, so I decided to do them on my toes, and outcome:


    Photobucket

    With flash, so it looks kindof black, but it's silver like in the first photo !

    Actually, technically, he did it for me- it was so hard to sit still and watch him finish cause I wanted to try myself, but after he told me he was finished with one leg, I realized I didn't really want to finish theother one myself.

    Hehe, he can be such a sweetheart sometimes. Ahhhhhahaha~

    Eh, given that it's a first attempt, I thought it was pretty good. I loooooooooooooveeeee it !!

    It's just so, I don't know, EDGY !!!

    Love love love love love.

    Am thinking to bring it in but still unsure if I should. Suggestions on formspring maybe?

    Hahaha omgosh I am such a grandmother storyteller, one of my many other wonderful attributes I guess ! Haha ! Okay I kid I kid.

    And if like this nail design is super common and I didn't realize, I must really be the biggest suagu ever kicking up such a fuss and going to such lengths to search for it. Ha !

    Some food photos from when I felt like whipping out my phone/camera last few months !

    Erm, abit gross hor. Put food photos after showing you my feet. Aiya ! Nevermind la ! :D

    Have said it more than once but I really like eating at La Petit.

    It's such unpretentious french fare (not that I've had alot in my lifetime) and sooooo cheap maaan. Cheap soul food. What's NOT to love?

    And cause Marutama's too far sometimes, had to hunt down some other ramen joint that's around town.

    Accidentally chanced upon this place the first time I was here and returned again after I realized that it's pretty good !

    His.

    Looking at all that tao gey really makes me feel quite ill.

    Oh !! I wonder, do any of your ever get really drowsy after a hot bowl of salty ramen?

    I always feel damn drugged everytime I finish, and it's been consistent from a few ramen joints !!

    Why huh?

    How curious.

    An on a totally random note, was too lazy to pour the milk out of the carton theother day so I stuck two long straws together (like we did when we were kids using it as a sword).

    Photobucket

    Took a photo and the carton turned out looking like any other regular kiddy milk carton !

    But it's not and it's big ! The height of two straws okay !!

    Okay, just thought that was kind of weird and funny.

    (: Goodnight.

    A random musing popped up on my mind while verifying payments.

    Almost all my customers have such pretty nails ! Haha, I noticed from the atm snapshots.

    Don't know why I feel so pleased everytime I stop for a moment to notice the nails, it feels like we have something in common !

    Not saying I have pretty nails (aha ! but I do! tralalala), just saying that I cannot help but girls who are vain like meeee !

    Hahaha okay totally random, sorry.

    Clutch.

    Thursday, February 16, 2012

    Came across this ASOS clutch some time ago (like last year) and contemplated getting it but whilst procrastinating, it went oos (of course).

    Ever since then, everytime I remembered and felt like punching myself for not getting it, I'd start scouring the web for it. Seriously, I've searched through countless pictures, ebay international ebay singapore this web that web, it's crazy.

    It's lucky I'm not a stalker of anybody, that'd be really scary.

    Finally, FINALLY I found someone letting go of it, it's preloved and it might not look new but I want it so much it doesn't even matter. It'll be a plus if it still looks new and I can use it but most of all I just want to own it !! I'm nuts.

    Otherwise, I'd just have to go on hunting for it.

    Moral of the story- if you want something, GET IT BEFORE IT'S GONE FOREVER (or before you have to get one second hand).

    It's sooooooooooooooooo prettaaaayee. Aiyaiyaiyaiyaiiii ! Can't wait to receive it !!

    And then !!

    Got this super pretty piece too !

    I love the texture and the YSL inspired buckle.

    But now that I look at the both of them, they're starting to look kind of similar... oh well.

    And also, I hate that I can't fit a water bottle in clutches. ):

    Oh well !

    Hehehehe. Still happy though.

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

    All of a sudden, I'm having this irrational fear that they're not gonna fit in my mailbox. >;
