Clutch.

2012-02-16T02:27:00.001+08:00

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. >;

Happy V day !

2012-02-14T18:08:00.004+08:00

It's that time of the year again ! A pretty good time if you ask me, what's there not to like?

Haha, you know how alot of people on this day will go, oh, everyday's a Valentine's day for us, yada yada, I don't ever get it ! Especially when it's coming from girls !!

What's there to complain about this holiday?

Ya okay, so it's a holiday where our poor boys contribute to the GDP more then ever all together at a go and yes okay, I get that your other half treats you with alot of attention and love and care and tell you gross mushy one liners everyday of the year but it never hurts to get extra right? Extra attention, extra love extra care extra gross one liners (haha extra gross) and extra gifts.

I don't believe you get extra everything every day lo. Unless you're me.

Hahahahahahahaa okay just kidding. So everytime around this year, we celebrate our darling Elaine's B day cause it falls on V day ! Yes that lucky girl's lucky husband.

Lol, so as always, there's alot of hoolabaloo over which day to celebrate hers cause you know, boyfriends always comes before girlfr- what? Of courseeee nottttt. Hahaha.

We love each other all the same, if not more. ♥ What did I tell you about extra mushy one liners?

So this year we had the XLB buffet.

Didn't plan for it to be for Elaine's celebration, but that night was best for all of us and conveniently for us, we had already booked the dinner 2 week's in advance !!

So kiasu right. Haha, not I book one okay.

Very serious at shelling the prawns.

Oh ! And everytime I head out with them, I always feel pressured to take the photos without flash.

Seee all of you ! The none flash photos WILL ALWAYS turn out blurry. It only looks good and clear cause the screen on the camera's soooo tiny !! Ahhhhhhh indignant !

Lol, that and my camera really doesn't take good photos. But the flashed ones are pretty good. ):

One person order so many long ! Damn greedy. Told her she sure can't finish one !

Hahahahahaa, okay sorry la Siying cannot resist.

This was all the XLB we had cause they were NOT THAT GOOD.

And the birthday girl !

Soooo cute right !

And that's that !

No more stating numbers here on out, and please girls. As agreed, one candle's enough in future. Don't want the cake to melt ! Lol, am I funny, or am I funny.

Happy birthday darling Elaine ! (:

Gossip girl.

-SPOILERS AHEAD-

Just caught Blair's wedding episode on GG and my heart absolutely soared near the end when she made a run for it to Dan.

Though it was only for a split second and I should have known better, it was nice while it lasted up till Blair snapped for Dan to just drive. We do treat the good ones like crap don't we.

Oh Blair why can't you see !!

We all know that for all the diamonds and hotels and bad-boy-ways in the world, the one for the road is always a Dan Humphrey.

Why can't anyone of us see.

初三。

2012-01-25T18:52:00.002+08:00

Definitely one of my most satisfying angbaos so far, a random friend of Dad's dropped by to hang out for a few minutes and passed me a red one.

Didn't give it much thought, opened it later and whoala ! A piece of hunded in it !

First thought was worried the poor uncle had passed me a wrong packet but my Dad say no, it's probably right.

Haha! Angbaos seem to matter lesser and lesser over the years but just feels so happy everytime I look at this particular one. Eeeeehehehehe. 新年快乐 !!

Gong hey fat choi !

2012-01-22T13:12:00.001+08:00

Not that I'm Cantonese or anything but, yeah haha.

It's the eve of CNY, no idea why it feels so slack, maybe it's because it's so early this year and most of us haven't exactly gotten it in our heads that reunion dinner will be tonight??? Thanks CNY.

Anyhow, I made it back to Dad's pretty early this year, and over here there's really pretty much nothing for me to do but lie back, eat, watch tv, use the com, eat, sleep.

Haha ! Actually it kinda sounds like what I'll do back at home but minus the WORKLOAD can.

Hoho.

Oh ! On a sidenote, I just got myself a new book and boy, am I glad I did.

Everytime I step into a book store with every intention to get a new novel, I'll take super long at the aisles deliberating over which one I should get. And I scrutinize all the reviews on the cover super carefully. By the way, I'm a sucker for real short reviews like "Extraordinary", or "who who who is the best writer of our time".

And you know how so many romantic novels has reviews like,"If you loved Time Traveller's wife, you'll love this more", or "Every bit as good as Time Traveller's wife", I just want to roll my eyes. No way !

Time Traveller's wife was the ultimate best bestest bestest love story I've ever come across ! But still, I did bite and buy those books.

So anyway, after all that careful deliberation, I more often than not end up leaving the store empty handed. Cause I'm so afraid of getting disappointed by a bad book, and of course, I'm feeling too stingy to blow $17 on a paperback. So lame right, enter a bookstore, choose choose choose then after put everything down cause I'm feeling too stingy. Haha ! Plus I tell myself I'll get to save my failing eyesight.

Either ways, I got The Help and it's turning out to be super good ! Cannot resist after Blair referenced it on Gossip Girl, plus I've picked it up so many times before putting it down again.

Not that Gossip Girl has any credibility at all but anything Dan and Blair mentions, I'd feel like reading.

After that looong and boring drone on my book picking process, pictures !

Haven't blogged in such a long time, but I'm free now so here goes !

Christmas feels so long ago, but I had a pretty nice time so still gotta post it up.

Headed to Jon's party after a flea- it was really tiring but fun to meet some of you girls !

The rain was coming down on us all night, but the bbq continued and that explains everyone's wet bums.

Also, it was the best bbq food I've ever had hands down ! Which explains the lack of pictures of the food, it was too good.

Am so sad how pictures on Fanny's camera turned out so much nicer than mine ! Why am I not better at picking cameras. ):

Some years ago in Bali. Deja vu. Haha.

It had to be toweled everywhere cause it was just too wet !

But it's always awesome at Poker though. (:

Oh btw, I read the CNY issue of 8 days and it says I have no chance at winning this year so I shouldn't even try??? It even repeated no chance like twice. :O Wish I never read it. )<

All you horses out there, looks like we're on the same boat ! Haha !

And that's all folks !

Gong xi gong xi and if you're a horse and win at the tables this year, do let me know okay. Then I'll brush that silly 8 days comment aside and try my luck on the ban LUCK table this year.

Hahahahahhaa, okay shall stop sounding like such a rotten gambler.

新年快乐 !

Angels sing.

2011-12-21T03:09:00.004+08:00

Nights alone are so far and few these days, have forgotten how to put myself to sleep. Lol !

It's 3am, and once again I'm left with nothing else to do but still I'm not going to bed. Hehe. Thus, sudden inspiration to blog.

Christmas is so close ! I didn't even realize it. Thought there was at least another week to go or something, but it's just the end of this week !! Tuesday, today's Tuesday right. No. Wednesday already.

And I did not prepare anything to wear for the season. ),:

Oh well. Shall think of something. Mad dash. It's the worst thing to HAVE to buy something new because of an occasion. You can never find anything.

I asked the boy today why is it people talk about the X'mas shopping so much, and if Singaporeans really give out X'mas presents. He said it's probably parents getting gifts for their kids.

I've been seeing people commenting about rushing their X'mas shopping, and was feeling really left out and Chinese. Haha ! Why Chinese ah?

Beats me, but to not be able to get into the festivities by shopping for gifts just feels so... asian?

Why this mentality, when I do have pending gifts to get. Aha ! See ! I'm actually quite angmoh also. Got Christmas shopping to do.

Which brings me to remember, he asked me too if I would like to go back to church this X'mas, totally took me aback. Bit heartwarming too but more guilty than anything.

We are super backsliders. And to think I'm always asking God for stuff every night. Aeeeiii.

Oh well.

Still, it's one of the sweetest times of the year, what with the tra lalalalas going on everywhere. ((:

Merry Christmas one and all. (:

Happy birthday TSY !

2011-12-02T13:46:00.001+08:00

So, theother day was Siying's 21st.

Her sister had been planning this surprise party for her, and her reaction was the funniest.

When the door opened and we all yelled SURPRISE !, she looked like she would have liked to crawl into a hole or something. You can probably tell from the expression below. Haha !

Hehe, Happy birthday Miss Tan !

Oh, and the theme was bunnies, this girl loves her bunnies, but I'm not gonna elaborate on that or else she'd probably kill me.

Who has red eggs these days???! That lucky girl.

Abit regretful that I didn't have one that day, have never had one before !!

And her mom was such a sweetheart, she prepared so much yummy food !!

If my mom could cook braised pork belly like that, I'd be gaining weight in no time.

An embarrassing 21st birthday video dedicated to her. Eh Siying ! Must appreciate okay ! We all cracked our heads over it !

We celebrated her birthday in two parts.

Headed to RWS a few days after for a sleepover.

Had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe and the food was so much better than I remembered it.

Short of Elaine and Ziqi but 9 years ! Man ! We've probably spent more than 40 birthdays together combined.

The ears are all turned down cause before that we wanted to use them to cover our eyes but FAIL.

Aren't the photos pretty?? Hehehehehe.

Once again, we hope you had a memorable one, and many many many more birthdays to come !

Lol, ka ching.

Tooodleeyyooo darlings !

Fridays fridays ! I love Fridays !!

My warped mind.

2011-12-01T01:32:00.002+08:00

I eat breathe worry about the online store on a daily basis nowadays. And of course countless other trivial matters like whether if the bubble tea I'm going to buy later's gonna give me a sore throat or diabetes- but that's besides the point.

Sometimes when it's doing really well, I abhor the hectic-ness and totally dread the workload and never seem to be contented with the money.

When it's not doing so well, I fret and fret over what I'm doing wrong.

I guess it doesn't help that I handle stress terribly and am probably the most disorganized person you will ever come across, but I dare say I perform the best at last minutes.

Have constantly been toying with the idea of getting a model recently, ruts always takes meaning out of things for me no matter how much I loved it in the first place.

Would love to have the girl everybody's been seeing on blogshops lately T, she's so pretty and has such an ang moh vibe can !

Plus these other girls would fit into the clothes so much better and I would save myself the agony of having to scrutinize and nitpick at the photos every week.

But sadly, I'm damn stingy when it comes to money belonging to the business (unlike myself, who I dare say is generous to a fault, hahahahahahhaaha okay, or not), and who am I kidding, I love being in front of the camera !!

Haha, that is. Until I step in front of it.

Shooting's not the most easy thing in the world, especially when you have to lug the stuff around every single week, and when sales depends on it.

It's so hard to separate ourselves from problems at times- or maybe that's just for me. Hate being excessively paranoid, feels like I'm mental on some days.

I guess being forgetful and so easily distracted's a good factor to have to follow paranoia cause I never have to worry too long about any certain thing. Lol. 1 hour max. Haha !

Oh ya ! Which brings me to theother day at the airport returning from Penang- I ended up drinking somebody's else's bottled water (I have no idea how that happened, HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO CARELESS?????). I fear such things the most, it's kind of crazy but my mind will like end up going into these frenzies and concoct the craziest ideas.

My Dad even had the cheek to joke that he saw that it was an Indian man who sat on the table before us so the water probably belonged to him.

Okay, I just realized that that must sound totally racist but that's NOT THE POINT !! Or maybe it is. No no no. Lol. I would have been as paranoid had he mentioned any other race, or. Okay. Just take it from a humorous standpoint okay. My Dad was trying to be funny. You know how Indian jokes are always funnier.

Lol. Now that. Doesn't sound racist at all.

Anyway, the point is !! I worried about drinking that water for like an entire hour from before entering the gates to boarding the plane, what the !!

Will keep reminding myself of the line the boy brought up to me some time ago, I swear it really helps.

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but doesn't bring you anywhere.

Since I'm a pretty logical and sensible person la dee da (or as I'd like to think), a line like this halts my thoughts from falling into an endless abyss of needless worrying- that is, if I am sane enough at that moment to even recall it.

And I just remembered something so, digressing- when I was really young, someone, probably my mom told me God says you can't swear, so I never did and never asked people to swear.

Like you know, go, you sure?? You swear !! Swear first !

Come to think of it, I must have gotten it wrong right? The swear here probably meant like in vulgarities.

Hmmmmm, gotta remember to check with someone about that.

Sad life.

2011-11-29T23:21:00.000+08:00

My favourite blusher fell theother day and smashed into a thousand powdery pieces.

I didn't even know they were able to do that.

Got it from the Shiseido maquillage range some time ago in HK, looked online and they don't seem to have the refill anymore !! );

Depression.

VAMPIRE-

2011-11-19T23:20:00.002+08:00

It seems like I haven't matured at all in the last few years cause I'm still so

EXCITED about catching Breaking Dawn when it premieres !

Oh man. I mean, a century old virgin vampire who glitters in the sunlight and a girl who'll drop her entire life and family in a heartbeat for a flawless teen boy.

What is wrong with me?! It's all that powdery foundation on Edward I tell you.

THURSDAY ! THURSDAY !

Dad.

2011-11-14T00:59:00.002+08:00

Have been at my Dad's these couple of days and I took a truckload of photos of... of course, myself.

Lol !

Am posting alot up, can't let perfectly good photos go to waste right ! Requires battery to take one leh. Energy is a resource, so I'm posting more. Hahaha.

Ahem, I never realized sunlight came in through the toilet, perfect lighting for hiding my sandpaper skin. Ha !

Hang in there okay, while you witness my immense narcissism.

Oh ya !!! And there's a reason why I took so many.

Someone did the make up for me, and it was the first time I had fake lashes on ! I think. Ya, it's the first time.

Such an odd sensation- anyways I think I look better without them, pretty enough with my original ones. AHAHAHAHAHHAA.

Lol, I was so excited to start taking photos that I didn't even turn on the fan.

Was sweating like a pig by the time I reached 1230120480291 photos.

Lol, it was funny when people told me congratulations that day.

Brother who zipped in and out in 2 seconds. He had to leave halfway for live firing the next morning.

Hmmmm... why do they call it live firing anyway. Sounds like an execution.

Saw this on a neighbour's car and thought it was super cool ! Lol. Those people are so nice.

Am totally gonna tag all my cuzs. Eh, don't always laugh at my surname okay.

The boys in our family all seem to start out with super curly hair. Damn cute ! Haha.

My pretty cousins all grown up.

I had mixed feelings visiting but it was quite an experience.

I always felt like you never really get to know your parent's real personalities or who they really are as a person- only the surface where we see them from as a kid to how we are now.

Ran around completing last minute touches with my Dad during this time and am really happy I got to spend this time with him.

Got to talk to him, listen to his many perspectives, and everytime I talk to him, I realize that there's so much I don't know and every once in awhile, he surprises me with the things he says.

Sometimes I wonder how can we be so close to our parents yet know so little, and they us.

Am so glad for the both of them for they're both wonderful, generous people.

Plus she's so pretty la ! Haha. So put together she puts me to shame.

Ahhhhhh, last minute trip to Penang in a few days before I head back to Singapore and celebrate Si Ying's birthday.

Kind of excited for that too. Not excited about getting her presents though. Ahem. Haha !

Just kidding laaa Miss Tan !

Will post up photos from Penang in a few ! First time there can you believe it.

I kept refusing to go cause I thought it would be a ten hour road trip. Plus, I'm so behind on the online store's work ! Wanted to launch a new one soon. Hai.

Turns out it's only an hour's flight. Heng ah.

Nighty everybody !

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaateeeee exams.

2011-10-30T21:47:00.006+08:00

It's the study period these two weeks, but besides the one or two mental breakdowns along the way, I'm feeling pretty mellow honestly.

Am going chapter by chapter at my own pace, and if I don't finish the textbooks, heck. I don't finish.

Like I've often said, thought I'd be rid of studying by now. Not learning- studying.

Pretty good mindset eh? I'm just cruising this semester ! Haha !

Reckon I'll get out of this Friday with all the hair on my head intact.

Troubled by other stuff though.

Am expecting a very hectic November, lots to do !

In the meantime, it's more writing, more textbooks, more punch in the gut anxiety.

Life's good. (: See you soon people !

My big two one.

2011-10-21T16:34:00.004+08:00

Hey guys !

As you can tell from the title, I had my 21st a couple of days ago and I had a wonderful time even if I do say so myself !

Should be studying now- feeling so guilty for working the photos and blogging, but I just have to do it !

Can't let these awesome photos go stale you know.

Planned a party for the first time in my life. Sua gu I know, but I never realized it would be so hard ! From the moment I started inviting people (man, that was tough) to basically everything else.

I was all WHY I NO FRIENDS ONE ! Lol.

I felt so guilty and at a loss with the invitations cause I feel like I'm always standing people and their events up. Lol !

Aiya, I'm always putting airplanes at the last minute, I didn't feel like I was fit to invite anybody.

So, damn grateful to all those wonderful people who came ! It wasn't the most convenient location, you guys totally made my birthday !

Okay okay. Let me start.

First of all, let me start off by saying, I loooooooooooooooveeeeeeeeee Hotel Fort Canning. It was where I decided to hold it, and it was drop dead gorgeous. At least I thought it was. Hands down the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in, in Singapore at least. People kept asking me how I managed to fine that hotel !

I never expect much from Singapore hotels, like you don't exepect much from Hong Kong hotels, cause honestly, urban jungles like these never provide the biggest or most beautiful rooms.

Stylish maybe but I'm pretty sure you're expected to pay a hand and leg for a stunning room that fits more than 2 luggages.

But the hotel on Fort Canning was totally more than what I bargained for. The photos don't do it justice at all though. ): I guess I can only look to my memories if I want to remember. Hahahaha.

My invite. Like a baby's full month right.

The other side of the hotel.

Love lobbies with the herby fragrances. Brings me back to Bali and Phuket.

The room !!!

Can you believe they provided like 2 of everything? Two of the kickass speakers, two tvs, two sinks, two toilets, ahhhhhhhh ! Got Nespresso machine also ! But we didn't try it out though. Most probably cause I've never used one before. );

I couldn't believe it and was screaming and jumping up and down the room like a mad woman the whole first thirty minutes, even before the bellhop left. No exaggerating.

Was it uncalled for? NOPE.

I thought the room was that beautiful.

Ruizhang even said that he had never seen me so happy before. LOL !

The suite came with a conference room- our poker room.

Totally celebrating my birthday like a boss.

Or not.

All party essentials stuffed into 1 luggage. Not my handiwork of course.

Turns out I'm nowhere as diligent as the boy. Now I know I'm well taken care of for future trips, house chores, preparations, bla bla bla. Hahaha !

My birthday dress ! Had to take a shot like this.

Cannot help it. Sucker for tackiness.

This photo so funny. He told me not to tell people that all the balloons were blown by him, but ended up telling everyone himself anyway.

And then halfway, he whipped out my present for me ! Didn't even realize he brought it along with him HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE PRESENTS.

Preps.

Not ashamed to say, I took a gazillion photos of myself before everyone arrived. So much so that my wrist started hurting from the weight of the cam.

But worth it la. So pretty ! Don't snap wasted right???

Hehe. Hehe. Hehe. Eh ya thanks.

Too bad for me my pores didn't give me a break even though it was my birthday.

And lo and behold ! Darling Kailing was the first to arrive lugging the packet of ice I told her to get for me.

Along with a flower ! So sweet right !

And then we were so hungry, headed down to the Glass House for dinner while waiting for everyone else.

Quite cheap right !

12 cupcakes from 12 cupcakes that Skye was right when saying they were too gelat.

Still pretty enough for a picture though.

And the girls arrive !

Looking through the photos, I was thinking eh this photo so sweet.

And then just on cue he points, eh ! I'm looking at the TV in this one. -_-

Pretty canapes and fruit tarts.

Spent most of the night playing poker with everyone and spilling stuff but I didn't take photos !! Sob. Will get some of them soon from Meixian if I can. Feels like the night just flew by.

Skye arrives ! He had to fly to Wallaby for a month but made it anyway. So touched la !

And Pang Cheng, cannot make it nevermind ! Haha, got the heart can already.

Siying and Meixian.

We totally trashed the conference room. Pity the people who had to clean the next day but we were soooooooooo exhausted and sick the next day, didn't manage to help them pack a little. ):

Chocolate cake that I didn't get to taste.

Digressing, I always feel damn awkward and ps when people sing Happy birthday to me. Lol, don't know why. I never know whether to sing along or clap along and before I've figured it out, the singing ends. Haha !

And, I realize that my wishes are pretty much the same for every year. Hahaa, hmmmmmm...

I look like a midget next to him !

So secure. :D AAHAAHHAAHAHAHAAHA.

It was exciting popping the champagne for the first time in my life man !

It was lucky Kailing was there to help or else I might have broken someone's nose.

A big thanks to the girls didn't even hesitate to get what I asked for. I love the cooommmm ! Thanks so much for lugging it up and down !

And the bag too love it love it love it love it love it.

And and. Of course theother gifts. Just making it down was nice enough, but thank you nevertheless !

And then of course after the party ended, some of them stayed to help finish these stuff.

I was reluctant at first cause it was already so late, but of course I totally died after.

Remember them laughing alot, me just lying down on the floor alot and the next thing I knew, I had woken up on the bed and it was already 9am.

Ruizhang actually managed to pack everything, it was incredible, and I just showered, laid there and of course puked the whole time.

Lol. He asked if I knew where the Absolut went.

So this is where it waaaaaaas. I knew we didn't finish ! So horrible. Quit alcohol from now on, totally not worth the pain. I feel like I aged at least 5 years just from that night.

But then again, I wouldn't change anything ! Skye totally cracked me up that night. LOL.

Oh man.

I feel like I'm doing such a horrible recount of events.

Can't take my eyes off the clock, gotta continue with my Buyer Behaviour module already or else I'm gonna get an anxiety attack.

All in all, I had an awesome awesome time, definitely a 21s to remember and if any of you are reading this, it's all thanks to you ! I hope I was an okay host, and that all of you had a good time.

Hmmmmmm, yup. That's about it. Haha.

And thanks Ruizhang, couldn't have done it without you ! Thanks for being so micro, it's awesome. You made everything so much better. Hahaha BIG KISS.

Oh happy day !

2011-10-13T12:43:00.004+08:00

As promised, photos !

Still so unfamiliar with my camera, but gotta work with what I have.

I'm pleased to announce that my birthday's just around the corner, in another 3 days to be exact. I'm gonna be old and greying before I know it.

I remember exactly how heady and excited I'd get in the past as the day draws near but it feels like this year I'm feeling much more mellow about everything.

Not that I'm not happy- I'm still pretty looking forward to spend time with the girls and my other friends- just not giddy with anticipation.

Lol ! I must be growing up. Or perhaps it's as you grow, nothing really fazes you anymore and it takes much more to get you excited.

Sad is the truth.

Not that I mind the presents though, they still add an awesome touch to the day.

Hmm...

LOL. Who am I kidding. I'm smiling as I type this out. I LOVE THE PRESENTS !!! They're the whole point to birthdays ainnit???

So I met up with my Dad theother day, had a very impromptu dinner at Lawry's- didn't realize we were celebrating my birthday early.

My brother fresh out of BMT. So lanky and black.

The food was okay, but I just realized I'm not much of a gourmet. Damn picky about food yes, but I take horrible food photos. Not my fault okay ! It's the camera. La dee da, shoot. I should start taking lessons.

Kind of hungry just looking at the photos.

They asked why I ordered the ribs and not the steak. Honestly, I've been feeling so stingy these days, it's becoming a habit. Was trying to scrimp for my Dad (AHEM, cause I knew I was gonna rip him off soon enough in a couple of hours), besides, it's called Lawry's Prime Ribs isn't it??

No regrets though, the baby back ribs were good !! Thought it'd be kind of tough but it was so soft ! Yum dee dee yum.

Much better than Tony Roma's in my opinion. Unfortunately- if I were dining by myself minus my Dad, I'll only be able to afford that. HAHA !

They were like, doing the exact same thing. Curious eh?

The creme brulee were quite blergh.

Lol, and can you believe my Dad asked me to get a pair of shorts that day? He said my dress was too tight and short. Fathers.

And then we trekked all the way to get my advanced birthday gift !

Hehehe.

Okay la. I take my words back. I still love birthdays, and I still get heady.

Hahahahahaa.

I decided on the model a month before and was soooo afraid it would be sold out. My brother was all, why you so scared. Boys, they never understand.

And lo and behold ! The sales person told me that the one I wanted was out of stock and would only arrive end December. I went all silent and mumbly and I swear my eyes got abit teary. Abiiiit. So embarrassing. ALMOST 21 already still acting like a baby.

Eh don't laugh at me leh. I waited very long okay !

Hehehehee. Luckily just as I was beginning to resign to my sad woeful fate of having to wait 2 months that the girl appeared with the bag in her arms sheepishly.

I went YIPEEE ! in the store okay. Or YAY ! Or something like that.

Anyways. It was a good day, and I know I've a great Dad. He actually helped me decide the colour to get when I started contemplating another model after I knew the one I wanted was available. Yeah, super fickle I know.

I didn't want to have to go get it myself cause it'd feel much more special and more like a gift if he were there to buy it for me.

And then of course, that's about it. Won't say thank you here cause he doesn't read my blog. Will tell him that another time, I didn't say thanks can you believe it. HAHA ! Damn horrible.

Well, will post more in a few more days, I do hope everyone has fun- and that the food will be okay and nobody'll get a stomach ache from eating them. And that everything goes okay.

Haha, so much nerves that are uncalled for I know. 21st ma.

Hai, and I'm so regretting my birthday dress zzz. Should have gotten something simple.

Bye for now, before I bore you to death.

Am going to- try- to- study- a- little- for- my- impending- examinations- now. ):

♥ Timon and Pumba

PHOTOS ! PHOTOS !

2011-10-11T03:07:00.005+08:00

Finally, finally, finally got a new camera adapter- if it wasn't for my birthday in a couple of days, I would probably have procrastinated forever.

Am gonna take toooooooooooooooooooonssss of photos here on out.

Hehe.

On a side note, I just cashed out from Nuffnang. HAHAHAHA. Happy max, so pleased with myself. I wait for how long can ! Am so paranoid and pessimistic, can't help but think that I sure suay and the cheque will probably get destroyed or fly away en route to me.

But still, HAHAHA ! Finally !

Adele.

2011-09-30T20:12:00.001+08:00

Words cannot explain how incredible her voice is. Plus I cannot understand why anyone would
not think her beautiful.

Never too many.

2011-08-22T22:47:00.001+08:00

Can hardly keep my eyes open but I'm still gonna blog !

I managed to squeeze in a couple more pictures with my camera theother day from it's dying battery and what do you think I photographed?

Yes, Marutama. Again. It kindof feels like I'm reusing the photos over and over again.

Lol, what can I say?

Anyhow, the broth looked and tasted waaaaaay below par that day, am gonna hurry down soon to have it again, give them one more chance to redeem themselves. HAHAHA !

Oh oh oh !!

And of courseeee, since I haven't really been blogging, I wanna take this opportunity to gawk at my own hauls.

Hehe, yes la. The innocent truth is that I wanna make you guys look and listen to my shopping drones.

Got this sometime ago, even put it on for a shoot before. Wouldn't be able to wear it anywhere else cause I'm too cowardly.

The flatform is kindof high and really tilted in in the front if you know what I mean. So. But it's still quite pretty though ! Got it from Zipia and hahahahahaha. I've got to say this.

When I was looking through the site, I forced Ruizhang to look at my shopping like I always do.

I went "eh see, see, see, seeeee? Nice or not? Eh seeeeeeeeeee. Seee leh. ): TSK", and when he finally looked over (after I tsked of course), he said, "isn't that your leg?".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Of course I humbly went nooooooooooo, how can that be possible. Her ankles so skinny !

Come to think of it, looking at the photo again, I shouldn't have said that. My legs are much prettier LO.

Hahahahaha, me kid me kid.

Ahem, GUYS. They see the same coloured nail polish and think it's their girlfriend's feet.

And just theother day, as I accompanied my parents strolling non-committedly through Zara, I came across this pair !

I thought it looked so so, but the bright pink trim was so cute and it came in my sizeeeeee !! That almost never happens, even more so cause this pair was on sale !

Ahahahahhahahaha. The best part was, I was all ready to pay for it while I queued but Dad walked over and paid for it at the very last moment.

Hallelujah.

He thinks I don't know, he always geisiao geisiao walk far away from me when I decide to buy something.

Hahahahahaaa, okay la. Me kids, again.

Probably another pair of flats I'll never ever put on but cannot resist.

And for the last pair, it's the Staccato platform designed by Hilary Tsui, Eason Chan's wifey !

The nude one looks so clean !!

Ho ho ho.

Will try to take some photos when this pair arrives.

It's weird but I realized I've yet to ever put on a flatform going out.

And still, I keep buying them.

Girls.

Week, after week.

2011-08-13T23:37:00.004+08:00

Hello everybody !

Gosh, I've been blogging so little lately, no thanks to my camera. I lost the charger you see, one out of the many things I've been losing.

I realised a little later that I lost the memory card too so. I blame it on the clutter in my room. You should look at it, it's like a warehouse, stocks everywhere, paper, plastic bags, books, dirt, grime, a dead cockroach.

Haha, okay maybe not the dead cockroach. But I'm the worst kind of slob there is. I'm an easily agitated slob.

So thus, the lack of pictures. I do hope I'll get the charger and memory card soon, so I can start taking some photos. The vainpot in me's getting uneasy.

I've also been considering getting another digital camera, hate lugging my current cam around. Did I mention that before? I think I did, see. Forgetful too. And repetitive. I must be going crazy.

So. In case anyone has been wondering, I've still been very busy, running here and there, to and fro everyday. Between school and sourcing and the studio and teaching and other responsibilities, I hardly have time to take a breath ! Lol.

Okay la, I'm exaggerating. I do still slack alot. :DD Hehehe.

It feels like there's so many projects this semester in school, hoho. But I've cleared most of my workload this week, so, happy times. And I kind of enjoy being in class on some days, during days whem I'm not in a rush to be somewhere else, especially law, ahem ! Sounds familiar? I took it last semester. Cough !

Lol.

Yeap. That's about it for tonight.

Time flies so quickly everyday !!

Alrighty ! Will update soon !

Have a wonderful August everyone. (:

(:

2011-07-19T23:45:00.002+08:00

Hello you all !

The weather's been so awful lately resulting in this irritating lump that keeps forming in my throat when I swallow.

Bah.

Plus stupid Photobucket's always giving me so many stupid problems. The links to the photos cannot be clicked, upload buttons don't appear, can't even log out. The most annoying thing is I actually paid to use that lousy thing.

Double bah.

I used to be able to watch episode after episode of every show I can think of, but these days, I can't even manage to watch one episode of anything.

Still, I'm in a really good mood. Hahaha.

Can't explain it, but alot of things are right in life. (: Have got a cup of green milk tea with extra extra pearls next to me despite the sore throat. Finished most of the stuff that's been bugging at me to complete.

Am gonna catch one episode of True Blood whilst chewing on my pearls and then read some Deathly Hallows before bed ! Hehe.

I know, such a macabre night.

See, life's great.

A little sad though, that I've got to rush through the last book cause I want to watch the movie soonish.

Have only read that one once or twice because it just wasn't my favourite out of the 7. The rest of my Harry Potters are wrecked with a thousand wrinkles at the binding, and pages falling out.

Yes, I'm a nerd at heart.

Oh oh ! And, I lost my camera's charger and am much too lazy and stingy to go get another one. Haha ! Hence, I foresee no photos for a long time.

Really feel like trading in the lousy semi pro for a digital camera again. It's such a hassle. BAAAAAHHHH HUMBUG.

Will be launching a new collection on Thursday (if photobucket doesn't fail me (again)) and here's something that I kept !

Actually, I kind of got it only because I wanted a pair.

The most comfortable pair of clogs I've ever worn. I hope I get to wear it alot ! It's really cuuuuuute.

Okay.

I'm gonna go now. So much to do, so little time.

Hahahaha.

Goodnight darlings. (: Feeling alot of love for the world tonight so, muuuuuuuuaack !

2011-07-19T02:37:00.001+08:00

Had a really nice day today.

Goodnight world. ((:

Tomorrow's launch.

2011-07-13T23:47:00.001+08:00

Hi darlings !

I'm in a pretty good mood today considering it's the first day of my new semester. Having to travel all the way to Clementi again in the wee hours of the afternoon(?) is never a welcoming thought, but surprisingly, it's been a really good day !

A couple of weeks ago, I was obsessively stalking Forever 21 everyday. Seriously, Gmail, Facebook and F21 were the first pages I opened even before my chrome finished loading. Like don't buy something will die like that.

Lol.

And within that few days, I bought quite alot of stuff, and they arrived a week ago and was mailed to me from my spree holder. I am completely useless when it comes to ordering stuff directly online for I'm much too too lazy to bother with the details, hence. Or perhaps it could be because I'm slow, but we all know that isn't very possible. (:

My stuff arrived in batches cause I ordered separately like every 2 days but they all arrived at about the same time so they were mailed to me packed in a singular package!

To my extreme horror, the stuff did not reach me after a week and of course, I, like a crazed girl cheated of her shopping kept bugging my spree holder incessantly, asking her "Do you think it's lost??", "Could it be lost?? )))):", "Ohhhhhh noooooooo !!!!! I think my items are allll loooooosssssttt !! )));;;;;".

Ya, somewhere along those lines. I don't know what help that'll do but I couldn't help it ! Hahahahahahaha. That's also why I know Smoochiezz deserves every cent I send to her for helping me order my stuff. She takes care of every single thing.

So anyhow, the items arrived today, everything including my H&M and I actually kindof like some of them, so I'm a happy girl ! Hehehhe. :DD

Plus, I got to have dinner with the boy too which I did not expect to do, so, double happiness. Kua kua kua, yes, laugh at my simple mindedness if you must. Lol !

Oh yes, now. Moving on from my materialistic droning, tomorrow's collection !

There are some stuff I kind of like, but I won't go into that.

What I'm most excited about is the first ever pair of shoe I'm bringing in !

It is cute maaaaaaaaaaaax, and I used to not really like flatforms when I first saw it on the Chanel runway. I have no idea why when they're so mad adorable.

Especially this leopard printed one. I AM MOST DEFINITELY GONNA KEEP A PAIR FOR MYSELF AND WEAR IT TILL IT ROTS.

Hahahaa. Abit exaggerated ah. It's just really cute la. Goes with so many things too.

Though, do you girls find it a little difficult to switch from normal platforms/wedges to flatforms? Though it's really comfy, I keep stumbling when I walk, so scary.

So, if you guys would like to get a pair, check back tomorrow during our launch okay ! 8.30pm ! ((:

Si Ying accompanied me that day to the shoot.

We were supposed to have Wasabi Tei before I accompanied her for her hair treatment but alas, fate was not by our side. We missed the afternoon shift and I missed the chance of having my veeeelvetty grilled cod fish. Hai.

Will try again next week. ):

And it was so good to have her there la ! I managed to take a breather while she helped to steam my clothes and everything.

Plus she's damn funny to boot. I'm always calling her like an auntie yakking on about tv dramas and what not. Don't know what I'd do without her ); Nobody to treat me to movies and wasabi tei anymooore. );; Right TSY? Looooolll !!

I ♥ those two photos of us !!

Goodnight you all. I hope you had a great start to this week too. (:

Hunger strikes.

2011-07-12T03:04:00.001+08:00

Oh man. Would be great if I had these before me right now.

3am, and right on cue, my tummy's groaning.

Hehe.

♥ the food at La Petit Cuisine. In case you've never tried it, it's along Upper Thomson and it's damn value for money.

The crabmeat in that pasta's so yuuuummy and I want that teeny chocolate lava cake NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Weight.

2011-07-04T12:06:00.020+08:00

Hello.

I'm gonna be a little whiney today, so please bear with me.

There's something that's been bothering me a long time now, and still always is.

Everytime I head out to meet some of my friends, I always expect to hear some kind of comment about my size, my legs, my something, but I never seem to be quite ready for it.

I've never really let criticisms get to me and it's pretty easy for me to brush them aside.

I always kind of knew that they were said to bring you down, but coming from my friends, that's a little hard to swallow.

Sometimes, I know that the comments people give to me are for my own good and they mean well.

Sometimes, they're not.

I can always tell the difference.

Thus, it always irritates me when I notice the hint of (i don't know) deliberateness in the way they put it across?

I've always been a rather confident girl, and as narcissistic as this is going to sound, I like how I look. There are of course off days, but in general, yes, I like how I look. I've grown to learn to appreciate myself and wouldn't trade any part of me for the world (sure, once in a while I think I'd prefer myself with bigger boobs, a little more height, a higher nose bridge perhaps, but hey, that's life. a girl's gotta make the best of what she's got right?).

I know that I wasn't really born with this self esteem, maybe just half of it, and the rest developed with compliments people gave me (of course I don't believe in the half of them, but still).

What some these friends would say almost everytime they see me is that I'm too too skinny, or that I look scary, or that I've become even skinnier since the last time they saw me (okay, i get it, but technically, if i'm really skinnier everytime they saw me, i should have been reduced to nothing but bones by now). Sometimes, I catch them scrutinizing me for a very long while, and I'd think, oh man, here we go again, and of course, just like clockwork, it goes off.

Some of the comments, to me are kind of harsh, especially when I've heard them one too many times, from the same few people no less.

I know, how little this may sound, or how I must sound like I'm making all out of nothing.

How bad can it be to be called too skinny when gazillion of girls are running the diet rat race out there every single day?

Sometimes, I cannot be bothered and I'm convinced that I still look okay. I'm not totally delusional so I do know that I'm smaller than alot of girls out there, and it would probably be good if I had a teensy weeeny bit more (i'm convinced i can't be too fat, heck, i'm just a little close to 160 !).

But after awhile, the criticisms starts getting to you. "Your legs are like sticks" coming from my friends of years, and in my mind I'd be like hey ! I like my legs. A second later, I can feel the self esteem seeping out of me, and my confidence wavering, and in my mind, I'd like the way I look that much lesser.

So I'd wonder, as I began seething while they continue on their little debate, what is their point in saying all this? They better than anyone must know that I was born like this and do not deliberately try to be so petite. I don't watch what I eat, nor do I exercise. I love fatty meat, and gorge myself with nice food every chance I get.

So, why?

I may be overthinking it, but it always feels like they're bent on proving their point and having everyone agree that I'm way too skinny.

Sometimes, I'd feel extra mean and decide that perhaps it makes them feel better and of acceptable weight if I'm too skinny. Hem, I suppose that's extra extra extra mean, but, hey.

Okay okay fine. I give, you win and I look like this. Now I should go dig a hole and hide myself in it forever for I am hideous and scary looking.

Do you see now how skinny can be a criticism? I strongly believe that looking plump would be better than that. (I'm also very sorry for using this model's photo and if I ever see her, I'll buy her a cheeseburger)

I'm only a girl and when I get home, it does bother me. It bothers me as much as it does if your friends tell you you look fat or have gotten fatter over and over and over and over again. Though, I doubt any friend in their right mind and who also happens to value her life would do that. Even if it's the truth. Lol ! I'm kidding.

It won't be long until you start believing you look like a hippopotamus too.

Sometimes, I get quiet and a little moody if I ever consider what they've said. I start wondering if I'm anorexic. Or if I look that way. But hey ! I have cheeseburgers and fries for dinner and pizzas for lunch !

Heck, at least I'm don't weight 4okg and go " I need to dieeeeeeeet agaaaaaain", or "Oh nooooooooo. I'm soooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaat. ):" on facebook once every 2 days.

If knew that girl, I'd try to put her in her place by reminding her how skinny she is already.

But I don't, so why?

I would never ever tell someone they're too fat, or that they look horrible so fatty everywhere. That's just rude.

So why isn't it plain rude theother way around?

They too are unrelentlessly commenting on my body, my weight, and trying to let me know that I look awful. At the same time, they're trying to lose weight and seriously, I don't think they'll stop even if they reach they're 40s (as in kg). So why?

I know how petty I must sound. Lol, I know.

I'd be all sad that day and the boy will hear that there's something wrong and he'd just laugh if I told him. Then he'd go on to tell me that I look fine and he likes me just the way I am. Of course I'd go LIAR !! You'd like it more if I had bigger boobs right??? He'll laugh but in my mind, with all those neverending comments, I'd really think he's lying.

All the time, I can only sigh in exasperation and all retorts I think up on how I love my own body, and nothing they say can convince me otherwise would dissipate as quickly as my sanity. I'd fumble and never get my point across.

They are letting me know it's not okay to look the way I look just as the world is telling them that it isn't okay to look the way they look, hence the diets. So why?

Everytime I meet a girl, they always always seem to tell me the very same thing. That they've gained weight. And I'd think that's okay, honestly, like, gained weight WHERE? It doesn't even matter to me. They're still the same person inside aren't they?

So you're fat, she's thin, you're tall, she's short. Your thighs are smaller, her thighs has cellulite. You've got a tummy, she doesn't. Whatever man.

I still believe that it's important not to try too hard and to be comfortable in your own skin. Confidence shines through more than anything and people smell low self esteem from miles away.

So I'm too skinny, yeah yeah. I'll get the chance to be fat when I'm 40, thank you very much.

In the words of Reese Witherspoon - "It's one of those endless competitions, but it's like running a race towards nothing. There's no winning. You're never going to win the thin race. You're never going to win the pretty race. You're never going to win the smart race. You're never going to win the funny race. I just want to be the best version of myself I can be."

Seriously, if I can't love myself the way I am, then who can? And those are my own words.

Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, but sometimes, you know. It gets to you.

Love.

2011-07-01T02:52:00.003+08:00

I'd say that I don't know exactly what it is, but I've got a few of ideas about it.

I've been reading some books lately, and usually, I'd snub the girlie loveydovey novels (yes, sometimes i do try too hard) and pick the ones that look a little more serious. However, you can only read so many conspiracy stories before they all sound the same.

So, these couple of weeks, I've been strategically trying to pick books a little more lighthearted and humorous- you know, the ones that will hopefully give me a bang for my buck. If it makes me laugh AND teaches me something about life, then that's a bonus.

Because the truth is, I'm a real scrooge if it doesn't concern clothes, bags or shoes. Yes, I'm materialistic, but I'm also a twenty year old living in a very superficial world. That's just the way it is.

So, these stories I've read, all in one way or another, are about relationships. Mostly man-woman relationships, there are the occasional ones on family and friendship, but I won't go into that. If I do, you'll probably take 2 days to finish this essay.

When I read, I always take sides. That is, unless the characters in the book are lovable to a fault which isn't very often in stories these days if you know what I mean. So yes, I'm always taking sides, and yes, this is probably because I'm a very bias person and have very extreme views on how things should be as I'm very often told.

If I said reading sets me thinking about love, and sometimes life, it's probably a little misconstrued because the truth is, these things are like the only things that I ever think about. Of course, occasionally there are the compulsory thoughts such as what to eat, shopping, judgmental thoughts about people, bla bla. But that's besides the point.

I think about it almost everyday. I wonder, I question, almost too much for my own good.

I don't know about other girls, but I do think that love, is the biggest deal in life and everything it is about.

It may sound extremely petty, but I do believe that a person's state of happiness is dependent

on the romantic relationship you are in.

I also too feel like, the person you choose to spend your life with can make or break it.

Also, pretty petty and I guess as a young female, saying that can't sound too empowering.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think that we're dependent on guys. I've never been much a feminist but I most definitely do not condone sexism. Guys can sometimes be that way which, I sometimes find rather irritating.

Digressing, have ever heard a guy say " You can't do ____ but I can. Because you're a girl and I'm a guy". Yes, and I also want to roll my eyes to the back of my head.

But that's besides the point for what I'm writing about today. It's actually really, nothing, and I probably do not have a conclusion to it, but I am however, very inspired.

Okay, so where was I?

Um, that romantic relationships are the crux of everything? No no. I think it's actually that THE romantic relationship's the most important thing that matters.

Anyways.

I grew up with Disney and probably have watched those cartoons one too many times. And a little while back, I was wondering, is it okay to allow kids to watch those things? I mean, most of them are about Princesses finding their one true love- and they tell us we shouldn't get into relationships so young.

I mean, those things practically forces the idea of BGR down our throats.

So, like I said, one too many times. I practically remember every princess' name. The ones I like most should be Ariel, Aurora and Belle.

Aurora because of her beautiful gown (nothing else really, I don't even remember her ever speaking), Belle because of how headstrong she was, and Ariel. Well, after On Stranger Tides, I think we can pretty much all admit that most of us can't turn down the mysterious mermish allure. Plus I swear she has the tiniest waist.

I do not have a favourite prince, they always felt like accessories didn't they? Put aside until they were required to save the day. Granted, all of them were pretty charming (haha), and if I had to choose, it would be Beast cause I remember him to be quite hot.

So anyway !

I grew up like that. Dreaming of a prince (haha, yeah, laugh if you must). Thus, I think I grew up a romantic, as many a cliche novels would put it, those are the worst. Seriously, I've read this line sooooo many times that I feel like asking my money back everytime I come across it.

And then, I got older. Of course.

Like alot of girls my age, I started dating preeeeetty young. It's that darned Disney I tell you. And Titanic. Oh Jack.

I listened to Jay Chou, and had these many weird ideas. Thinking back, I do agree now that kids shouldn't date too young. I didn't even know where my mind was at, and the worst part was that I thought I did.

I liked boys because other girls thought were cute. Seriously (like seriously?). Oh, youth.

The end of a relationship felt like the end of the world to me, although, I guuuuuesse it'll still kind of feel like that now but a little better I hope.

Of course, I grew up to realize that we're all capable of moving on. My heart really goes to those girls who jump because of relationship problems, because we all move on, and they didn't get the chance to witness someone more special, someone more worthy of them.

So growing older, made me more of a realist. Which is pretty handy when you're what they say's the worst, a romantic.

I'm still always having weird thoughts and notions which I guess is my main point in all this, and they're sometimes a dilemma and can be very puzzling.

At this age, I think that marriage is everything, but doesn't mean a thing.

Does that even make sense?

I've seen one too many times, where couples who have been together years, and years, and years, grow to ignore each other's rants, or hate each other's guts or, I don't know. What else?

I've seen it firsthand and of course, I've read about it.

Couples who drift apart after 20 years together and cannot even bear to take a glance at theother party, or speak amicably. Couples who blatantly ignore each other, going about their day's business. Even people who grow to detest their partner for putting them in the position they're in. A house that's not quite their dream, children not quite what they wanted, a spouse who did not live up to expectations, a life of what they feel like is regret, and they blame theother party.

There are countless problems, and I will not be able to list them all, I'm pretty sure of that.

I think that a marriage means nothing the moment a guy has a wandering eye and wishes to be someplace else other then where he is- which is married to his aging cellulite growing naggy wife. Or vice versa. Another thing which surprises me is that people seem to forget that unfaithfulness doesn't limit to genders.

I guess the thing that summarizes the above is that I see couples grow sick, and by sick I mean thoroughly SICK of each other's company.

You must think I'm exaggerating but I KNOW. At least about this, I'm not. It's depressing I tell you. You can tell apart the couples who still love each other and are in it because they're responsible, trying to keep their word to each other as opposed to the ones who are just in it.

And then, in Singapore context's of course, there are the uncles who decides to pick up a girl half his age just for the fun of it (i'm guessing it's not because of love). Who's to say he didn't adore his wife when they just met?

I can never decide which is sadder. The not even interested in speaking couple or the ones who stray couple. I paint a pretty bleak picture, yes?

As I'm nearing 21, everytime marriage is brought up or even when I think about it, really think about it, not just in the oh-so-happy-in-a-teenage-dream-sense, I get kind of jittery.

Perhaps, it's still too early to think about these all, but like I said, it's almost all I think about since I was probably 5. It was kind of always in my head.

50 years is a long time to spend with someone.

How am I supposed to choose when I hardly know what love is??

Everytime, I read a book, and someone cheats (it's a little weird but the one who cheats always seem to be the protagonist), I'd really really really dislike the character.

Like close to hate dislike. I suppose I may have my reasons.

Sometimes it's the guy, sometimes it's the girl. It doesn't really matter which.

Most of the time my heart breaks more when it's the girl who's unfaithful, don't ask me why.

Then of course, as we all know, everybody suffers and ends up miserable, usually the sinner most. And in my mind, I'd always think that that persons deserves everything he/she's getting. They should have known better.

But should they?

I can't even say for myself that I would never ever do it. Lose interest in someone, find yourself thinking day by day that somebody else is that much more special.

I feel like I won't now, but who's to say anything about the future?

We all know about that happy bubble at the start of a relationship. The air smells different, fresher. You don't even taste the food cause you're too excited eating with that special someone. Nothing can bring you down, even the screaming baby on the bus amuses you. For some, it could be a few months, others the first year, some other the first five years.

And then everything just starts getting a little too old, a little too familiar, a little too snappish, a little too taken for granted. And then, after that it's just a humdrum.

So, what? Then what?

I don't know.

Oh yes ! And I'm also always having this weird idea.

I never thought much of Romeo and Juliet. Mainly because, I think Juliet was like 14? And probably Romeo too, ya, around there.

Like I said, I have grown to feel like 13nish 14nish is not a very good state of mind to be in love but hey, again, I could be wrong.

Plus they only met each other a couple of times ! Plus Romeo was interested in Juliet's cousin before he met her !

Which kind of further convinces me that I'm right on this point. I'm pretty sure that if they had more time together, instead of being so hasty, IF they had more time together.

If their families had magically agreed to let them be together, or if they had managed to run away together, they would not have lasted.

I'm not saying they're happily ever after is not possible. I'm saying that there would be a high chance that they would have grown apart, grown sick to each other's bad habits. 4 years into their relationship, Juliet would probably roll her eyes at Romeo and beg him to hurry with his talk, instead of being so wishy washy. And 10 years into their relationship, Romeo may, I don't know. Develop a wandering eye and start taking notice of Juliet's other younger cousin. And given his hasty nature, heck, he may even run away with that said cousin only to leave Juliet hanging and have everyone condemn him of being nothing but a lousy casanova for eternity instead of you know- Romeo.

So, my weird idea is, that it may have been a blessing that they died in each other arms (or did they) so tragically. The blessing is that they died loving each other and that their epic love story is one for the ages.

Had they not, and ended up together for a long time, their relationship might have ended in a dispute over property, children and having them running across the courts trying to tear each other's scalps out.

Yes? No?

I do not want to let my relationship develop only to have this very special person slowly realizing the worst in me over a period of 15-30 years. I do not want many many arguments slowly turn a much dreamed about home into a cold battlefield.

My idea is, sometimes, it may even be a blessing if I died in a tragic accident at the peak of some relationship and still in love, rather than to let it end up as, you know, what I just said.

Touchwood la, and for the couples who are very much in love till they're 80s, I give it to them.

But in my mind's eye, that, is one of the toughest things to accomplish in life.

I've not seen many people of this or the last generation do it (okay, abit impossible since they'll be like at most 60 now), or look like they're going to succeed in accomplishing it, and once again I am not exaggerating.

So you see, that I really do not have much faith at all. I don't even know if it's marriage or love that I am so doubtful about.

To sum it all off, alot of things I remember about love, is from Henry and Clare.

If you've never read about them, then I should tell you that Clair's husband's a time traveller.

Their's is probably the most realistic take on true love and marriage I have read so far, as impossible and unlikely their predicaments. Like many star-crossed lovers, they weren't together very long, but longer than many many others. Probably about 30 odd years.

And I sincerely believe, even though they're fictional, that a love like theirs would have lasted till both their hair turns grey. I sob like a baby every single time I read it.

I suppose that to have a marriage last you do not have to be in love with each other every single day. That would be close to impossible. I suppose that there could be some days that you feel like sleeping with your backs turned against each other. I suppose that it's okay when some days you get so very tired with you marriage that you dread heading home.

As long as that person you're married to forever stays the most important person in your life, and because of that, you wouldn't ever bear, want or afford to do something that could hurt him/her. And I suppose that it's okay if at the very end of all of it, you know that that person's what you'll call home.

But then again, who am I to say? I'm only 21. ): And already so fearful.

New collection tomorrow !

2011-06-28T23:38:00.003+08:00

Hello dearies, it's gonna be Wednesday again, so here are the sneaks for tomorrow's launch !

Here are some of the pieces I think are really pretty, check back at 8.30pm to view the full collection ! (:

Dusty pink scallop hem shorts. It is cute maaaaaax but sadly in very limited pieces. ): Will try my best to get backorders if response is good. (:

And some easy to throw on dresses.

The dress below is definitely my favourite this time round ! It's Topshop inspired if you guys can recognize it, except without the keyhole at the bust. It's extremely sweeeeet and made of high quality spandex/rayon material.

Comes in 3 looovely colours.

Watch out for it tomorrow okay ! In the meantime, check our the backorders that are still available at the moment. Will have to rush the photos now, haven't even showered. Lol. (:

This is all I could manage to wrap up tonight, feeling dead beat. Lol.

I don't know how something that looks so easy always manages to take me so long.

The next batch of clothes will be mailed early Tuesday, will be pretty busy tomorrow. The last batch was mailed Friday. (:

Still tying some loose ends from the last collection right now. Next collection should be launched this coming Wednesday so do check back for previews ya. (:

Am gonna take a nice long shower and head to bed early hopefully.

Have a good night darlings. (:

Happy birthday to you.

2011-06-23T21:03:00.002+08:00

So this year we celebrated the boy's birthday a little earlier cause the actual day falls on a camp day.

I would have liked to celebrate the occasion (it's his 21st) with a bang, but he wanted a simple one. He also specifically requested very simple presents cause he feels like he doesn't really need anything when he's in camp all the time, and botak ! Haha.

So grown up eh? He's like the exact opposite of me sometimes. Awwww.

A couple of months ago, I would have snorted if you told me he's the more mature one between the two of us but lately, I'm realizing that's kindof the case. Believe me, if it were my 21st, I would never ask for a simple gift. He he he.

His family whipped up a steamboat for him on the day of his book out and starving as we were (we were all hungry like mad, i could tell from everyone's faces), nobody touched the food until he stepped through the door !!

Ahem, I had a spoonful of soup though, couldn't help myself. Plus I had to do it secretly. Zoom, slurp, all in a swift motion.

He probably rushed like mad but only got home close to 11pm.

Anyhow, it was a really nice dinner, and I also realized that I really heart having dinner with his family. Don't think I've had such a dinner like that in ages.

After dinner, kicked back and satisfied. I couldn't resist this little birdy when I went to get his wrapper ! Cute max right !

And this is what gave me my backache theother day. Eh eh eh, Seems simple but took me three looong hours okay ! Hahaha. Had alot of fun completing it though. It's 3D ! Don't playplay.

I had the day planned for him, to be ended with a simple birthday dinner.

We both woke up late (or i woke up late as always), and had to hurry to town.

My hair's even still wet in the photo.

Decided to have a quick bite in Din Tai Feng before we went about our day's activities. Didn't want to gorge ourselves, had to leave room for the night !

When I saw this, I immediately went, "OMG why so small huh???".

And he was all "Lol, $3 plus what you expect".

But seriously, this is bite sized. Bite sized toufu, I could pick up the whole thing and place it in my mouth and it'll be gone in 3 seconds.

Can never have enough Xiaolongbaos, though, we do prefer Crytal Jade's. And that's the steam condensing on my lens.

Doo doooo dooo doooo. And that's it for our lunch.

On a sidenote, he seemed to really like carrying my new bag that day. Perhaps cause it's not too girlish?

Sometimes, I insist on carrying on my own bag. But then again, he'll insist otherwise and I'm always tempted. Having boyfriends' carrying our totes about kindof takes away a little bit of their masculinity doesn't it?

And it's dinner time ! I was really excited about dinner, but in the end, both of us ended up making fun of the entire process. He said he felt like he was drinking blood for the entire dinner.

At about 9pm, which was the earliest reservation I could manage the day before, we headed to Brazil on 6th Avenue.

I was 15? the first I ever went to that place with Elaine and her family. Lol ! I loved it then ! but somehow, this time was.... hmmmmmm....

Still loving their cheesy pastry thingy though. Yumyum.

We gave up pretty quickly.

All that meat was pretty overwhelming and I didn't manage to eat much either.

He took lots of salad and said that the meat was bringing his cholesterol up so he needed some greens to bring it down. Lol.

Me thinks this photo supper funny and gross at the same time. Hahahaha.

Meathead.

I did the cake but I don't dare even show you guys a close up of it !!

He was the one who gave himself the blue teeth huh, not me.

Hahahahaha ! Don't look ! The design is quite ehhhhh... but he finished the whole thing the following day all by himself ! All I had was a few bites.

And presents !

He opened the first box and it was actually just a Casio for him to put on in camp and he simply peeled a piece of the wrapper, saw the blue bit of cardboard box beneath and sat it aside before quickly trying to unwrap theother.

Lol !

I protested and he explained that he already knew what that one was.

Eh ! How can like that. Discriminate and neglect my Casio. Tsktsktsk.

Still, I really hope you like your presents and enjoyed you 21st. (:(:

And over here, I'd like to relate something that took place theother day. Okay, just to warn you, it's a really long story and may be irrelevant but whatever, I want to share it.

I was sleeping and it felt like I was having a bad dream the entire night.

I dreamt Ruizhang was actually a jerk of a boyfriend and we were fighting the entire time. Then of course, I cried after fighting and was really mad but all he did was pretend like he didn't see and went about doing his things all the time blatantly ignoring me and my dramatic display of woe.The drama is besides the point as he was really acting like a jerk in the dream.

During which, I did not feel like this was unlike him at all cause it felt soooooo realistic. I couldn't really understand why I was feeling so miserable and mistreated, as, to my understanding, most boys act this way when they get into fights with girls ! Or, I may be wrong, but come on.

Anyway, that is also besides the point. The point is, I was deeply upset and had thrown myself onto the bed sobbing my heart out when I suddenly woke up with a start.

The dream was so real, and you know how sometimes you dream of getting a million bucks or that new Macbook pro but when you wake up, it very very slowly dawns on you that these things are not anywhere on the bed and you feel really empty? Well, this was kind of the oppposite of that sort of dreams.

I woke up, and even reach up and was surprised to find no tears. I was still feeling really mad and upset at that point of time, as mad and upset as you would feel when your boyfriend merrily ignores you completely after being mean to you and when you're sobbing nonstop.

I looked around for him and was ready to pummel him for being a jerk in my dream.

Coincidentally, he saw me opening my eyes and got down the couch to sit next to me (I rarely get up before him).

And he had just showered and was very cold, for it was a pretty cold morning. The coolness was soo comforting and, he told me to sleep a little while longer as it was still pretty early (in my terms, it was probably already close to noon then) and that he would sit next to me until then. In that moment, I couldn't believe my luck when I felt the contrast between him and that horrible guy from my dreams.

Hmmmm. I do not exactly understand why I'm saying this, he's probably gonna feel pretty embarrassed with me recollecting this incident, but. I guess it was only at that moment when I felt like the luckiest girl, and that all is alright in the world. Don't be mistaken, I feel like that often enough but then again, at lots of times, I'm also a pretty self-entitled person.

Well, I guess that's about it, my very sappy recollection which I doubt I described very well but.

My point is. I think you're probably the nicest and most wonderful person I've ever met or will ever come to meet.

Lol ! It's kind of gross but yeah. I think that's it.

I think that the dream was trying to let me know exactly how happy and fortunate I should feel in my waking moments.

Of course in the end, I complained about what I had dreamt and pummeled him anyway.

Thank you for being here and allowing me the good fortune of celebrating the occasion with you.

Happy 21st birthday baby !

Week in a nutshell.

2011-06-22T01:13:00.005+08:00

First of all, I won't make you guys who are here to look at the preview go through reading my neverending drones.

Yes, kind is my middle name. Haha ! No la, I'm just ps.

So, here's a little sneak of tomorrow's collection !

There'll be more, so do check back Wednesday, 8pm !

Haven't updated the status' of last collection, but most of the stuff are sold out. However, you can always email wonderlustworld@gmail.com and I can always order them for you ! It'll only take a few days for me to collect the restocks for you ! (:

. . . . . . . .

Okay, so here starts my post.

Some days in a week, I'm rushing so much I can't even seem to catch my breath.

If there's one thing I'll never understand about myself, it would be why am I always ALWAYS putting myself in the awful predicament of having to rush.

I go absolutely nuts when I'm in a horrible rush, and you know what always has to happen when you're in a rush.

You can't find things.

And when I can't find things, instead of absolutely nuts, I go apeshcrazy.

Seriously !

I'll throw things around (which really doesn't help when my room is already in a horrible mess), and make myself madder and crazier.

Ah.

Though things often work out in the end, I've really gotta get more organized and stop slacking till the last minute before scurrying around like a mad woman.

Anyhoooo.

After a long day at the studio where my back feels like it's about to break from the heels, I present to you my oily face.

Was about to take a shower but decided to get a little (or alot) vain before washing the dirt and grime off.

The below 2 photos were taken from another day. Don't waste ma, just put up lo. Lol ! What I can't understand is those photos below were take in the daytime but my curtains are always closed so why is it that nighttime photos with my webcam's much more grainy??

Hmmmm... food for thought.

I always feel like I've got a ton of makeup on my face for shoots but somehow, the studio photos always turn out really pale and as if I haven't got any makeup on.

I don't usually put on eyeliner cause I feel like my lashes won't be seen and my double eyelids sort of disappear into the blackness and my eyes end up smaller.

Guess I'm just not suited for it but I looove looking at girls with eyeliner on. Hahaha. Sounds so wrong. Especially those who draws a little hook at the end. Tres cute.

Think I'm gonna go get myself a redred lipstick in hopes that the pictures pop.

Eh ya. Abrupt stop.

I think that's about it for today too. Gotta go put together the gazillion photos that's slowing my computer down.

Wanted to say more, I was very inspired to write in the past few days but was always distracted by something else.

Will blog in 2 more days on something joyous. Yipeeyaiyaiyipeeyipeeyai.

Lol.

Have a great night darling people.

2011-06-17T03:54:00.006+08:00

I've got nothing, NOTHING left to do tonight, but I'm still not sleeping.

My back aches from all the hard work in the day (heehee, shall show you guys the end result of that soon), I'm absolutely beat, but still ! I'm not sleeping.

Am simply... surfing the net aimlessly. Odd random thoughts wander through my mind on nights like this.

Why am I even STILL scrolling down this blasted Facebook?

Do I REALLY need to know what's going on with some of these people I barely know?

Eh. How much time do I actually spend on this Facebook? Should I just go ahead and delete this silly charade?

Why is there nothing for me to buuuuyyyyyyy???

Lol.

The thing is. I'm lazy to do alot of things. In the mornings, I'm lazy to drag myself out of bed. So, I lie in.

And on nights like this, it really isn't that I enjoy staying up.

The truth is, I think. I'm too lazy to drag myself to bed and to begin to TRY to sleep.

Yup. That must be it.

EH EH EH.

I know for a fact that most of you are just like me okay?

Ah. And that's a thoughtful ah. Not the sometimes silly sound we make from when we get a fright.

The youth of today.

Well. I'd better go before I drone on and on about endless nothings.

Oh oh !!

On a more sane and normal note.

I can't wait for this weeeeeekend !

Hehehehehehe.

Yipeedoooo !

Will update the next week with hopefully will be nice pictures and will promise to sound more coherent.

You know us smart people. Always jumping from one thought to the next.

Aha. And that's an amused aha.

Lol ! And please. Don't take me seriously tonight. I'm referring to the lazy part. I'm actually really hardworking in alot of aspects. Hahahaha ! If you believe me.

Goodnight darlings ! (:

New arrivals.

2011-06-07T12:37:00.000+08:00

Hello ! (:

Posting some sneaks up from this collection. I kept alot for myself from this collection, heart alot of the items cause they're just so easy to wear.

There's gonna be a couple cardigans this time, and I think the price's gonna be great for what they're worth ! Pretty and comfy.

Got a feeling that I'm gonna wear this piece to death. Put it over myself and never took it off on the day I saw it. The mismatching buttons sort of grew on me too !

This one's specially imported from Japan and exclusive to us. Me thinks material's aweeesome. (:(:

Totally love Aztec prints.

This pleated skirt's Zara inspired, and looks so much like the original piece. The quality is insane too, thick, and the pleats never seem to budge. Great for so many places.

Collection will be launching tomorrow at 8pm so, see you guys then alright ! (:

. . . . . .

For myself, I'm letting go of this H&M piece. It's brand new with tags tagged XS.

I think I'll let it go at $21 mailed, so if they're any takers, do email me at rachael_lua22@yahoo.com.sg ! (:

Well that's it darlings !

Gonna go catch X-men with Siying in abit. Have a great Tuesday !

2011-06-02T19:29:00.001+08:00

Still sick but was superrrr tempted to order McDelivery.

And you know temptations.

All it seemed like I could have was a double cheeseburger plain.

Burger $2.00. Delivery $3.50.

Epitome of laziness.

),:

2011-05-30T20:18:00.000+08:00

That's flu stuff coming out of my nose.

Have been coughing till my chest hurts.

I'm feeling okay cheerful albeit not being able to eat everything I want and most significantly, not being able to get my daily dose of bubble tea.

Can't wait for the weekends to come so I get to eat my goodies and I CANNOT wait for this blasted cough to go away.

Shooish.

<:

2011-05-26T12:20:00.008+08:00

Hello again.

A little rambling today, feeling kind of bored you see.

I had Charkuayteow theother day followed by iced milo and I swear I'll never consume those in that order ever again. My poor throat never even saw it coming. ):

Thankfully, I feel abit better now.

So I was feeling a little vain theother day after returning from KL but had removed my makeup. Nevertheless, I went ahead and opened photobooth.

Photos are below !

I did not touch the photos in any way, not even brighten or contrast it ! For the first time in a very long time actually. I'm a little crazy in the sense that I have to edit evvvvveeerrrry photo before posting it anywhere.

Even if it's to simply tweak the saturation by abit, even if it's to darken the photo a little, even if I've got 800 photos on hand. I mean, I don't want people to look at my pixelated and shadowed photos right ! If I did I might as well use my iPhone to snap away when I'm overseas.

Aiya, but in this case, the more pixelated the better. Hahahahahha !

Here I am !

Quite horrible right, here's a comparison.

Hehe. Yes yes, I love this photo to bits, and granted there was sunlight and a wonderful camera and an awesome photographer.

I choose to believe that I do look like this on some days. On some very good days. On some very good and rare days.

Siying once told me she thought I looked better without the makeup. It's a lie !!! It was only cause I was extremely quick that day to pass her something so she didn't get to see clearly. I was darting around you see. I always do that when I see people when I look like a horror. It's my secret skill.

Very much like how I know Ruizhang's lying everytime he tells me I look fine plain faced, with a t-shirt and boxers going out. Lies ! Liar ! I always reply with a standard "I look hideous".

Hahahaha. And on majority of days, I prefer to head out without make up unless it's to meet my friends or whatever. Make up on your face the whole day drives me crazy. It feels like this thick layer of ew just all over, girls you know la. So. There's alot of darting around. Hahahaha.

And people treat me differently ! Lol ! I'm very sure of it ! I feel like strangers are less kind to me without my make up on. I've told alot of people this before already. Hmm. I know I'm not imagining things.

Or... it could be because I usually dress like I'm homeless when I don't have makeup on. I mean. Face like that already, what's the point right??? Why even comb my hair??

Hahhahahahahaa. Yes. I do not comb my hair when I'm out on the weekends with Ruizhang.

Unless it's to town.

Aiya whatever la ! We all know true beauty, comes from within. RIGHT? Haha ! I think my friends will tell you I don't have either. Hahahahahahaha.

Well, that was alot of droning about nothing but had those photos and this topic is related so.

La dee da !

KL ! There aren't much photos, I'm lazy to show everything so this is just it.

This thing here damn gross.

Of course I didn't try it.

Only after looking at the photos in my camera did I realize that's where my Dad disappeared to halfway through the meal. -_-

And that's all !

Am gonna go back to more slacking right now.

(: I'm gonna hurry and try to replace the first few photos with something more picturesque. Hehe.

Goodnight !

The materials.

2011-05-26T01:56:00.002+08:00

Things I absolutely cannot resist at the moment- on top of alot ALOT of other stuff. Lol.

Bodysuits. I used to think they were weird and would just shun them.

But now, I stop in my tracks everytime I see one.

And Lady gaga glasses ! Can't wait for these to arrive !!

Sooo pretty.

The soft soft peals of thunder outside right now's making me really happy too. Can't wait to sleep.

May.

2011-05-20T01:23:00.001+08:00

Hello youuuuu.

I'm back, went to my Dad's for awhile and headed to KL too in that time.

Had alot to eat, slacked, and of course, I did my nails !

Will leave food photos from KL for another time, am feeling extremely lazy.

And also, I'm feeling extra like a bimbo today, gonna do a totally material post, so bear with me. If you hate things like that, hey ! There's always cnn.com !

Okay no that was rude, stay. Because my quick wit and humour will surely light up your day.

Hehehehehehee. Bite me, but it rhymes too.

So anyhooooo. Some low quality pictures cause I didn't use flash. Warm light with my camera is super frustrating.

Did gel nails for the first time. I know it looks really plain but I absolutely heart the real thing ! It's so neat and clean. Always wanted to do french gel ever since I saw it one of my manicurists once, so dainty can. And shiny.

Now let's see if it really lasts for a month. Gel nails feels like it's really bad though. She scraped and scraped to roughen the surface of my nails, oh man. Heart pain.

And next. Lol. I always feel sort of grossed out when people put up photos of their pedi but heck, I'm gonna do it anyway.

My feet cute or notttttt ??!!?

Lol. Okay okay. I'm just kidding. Totally heart the lacelike drawing so I requested it for my toes, and I much prefer black on my feet.

You can now see I love adding bling as an afterthought. It doesn't look thaaaaaat weird in reality.

And now on to some of my buys !

This thing cost like RM50?

What? Not expensive? Hahaha. I know the exchange rate's almost ridiculous right now but I thought it was pretty pricey anyway.

It's so cute though ! Got it at a Topshopy UKy sort of store called Debenhams. Never seen it anywhere but what really got me was the inside of the pouch !

So pretty right !

Hahaha. But it's not gonna be beautiful within for long if I start using it for my makeup.

Don't have the heart to cause I know exactly how it's gonna turn out. Here's a photo of my current makeup pouch.

Lol !

Damn gross right ! I got the pouch for like 2 bucks at H&M the last time I was in HongKong.

Eh eh eh. Don't tell me the inside of your makeup pouch's spick and span hor. Hahaha.

Socks ! Have been going crazy for them this season, abit late I know.

Been searching for this knitted crochet socks forever and I was prepared to buy them for like $10 plus dollars at Topshop. But everything there was too thick and I ended up getting a knee high one which wasn't even what I wanted.

Found these in Cotton On for RM20 per piece?

And here's the reason why I've been trying to hunt those knitted little things down.

Now my feet can look like this too ! Ripped this photo of somewhere the moment I layed eyes on it.

Haha. That's alot of fat hope la but can be close riiiiigggghttt??? Shiet. Everytime I look at that photo I start feeling like I have hippopotamus' ankles.

I mean I've got the shoes, and now the socks. Hehehehehehehee. Cannot wait to bring these babies out for a proper ride. Hope they don't kill my feet.

And rings. Something else a girl can never get enough of.

I only got the owl cause it's eyes were open so wide.

Hoot hoot. Bye darlings !

Hello !

2011-05-05T20:06:00.001+08:00

Yes hi !

Exams are finally over, so you guys don't have to listen to me whine about it anymore. For now.

Statistics brought me down alot, have been feeling very depressed about it for very long but aiya.

Time to let it go !

Haha. Have got alot of photos stuck in my camera, but, you know. It feels less exciting to post stale photos so I'm not gonna.

So again ! Wonderlust has launched and here are my favourite picks !

I think this YSL inspired neckline is adorable. Very very cute dress la. (:

And this ! I never really like open backs but you've really gotta get this one ! The make is thoughtful and fabulous, with the back of the skirt a little longer than the front. The rayon/viscose material is smooth and really comfy. Aiya, heart heart heart it la.

I kept one for myself and loooove it when I get to put it on.

And this gem bracelet !

I brought it in cause I wanted one for myself. Lol.

I thought it was a House of Harlow design initially but it seems like it isn't. Hm. It looks really familiar... anyone has any idea where it's from?

And yup. That about wraps up my post for today.

Will post more often with pictures.

Hm. If I had to sum up my short hiatus is a nutshell, it would be that there was alot of unwilling studying.

Tantrums. Dread.

Oh ya I went to catch Thor !

He seemed to me like a real boor at first but then I found him damn charming towards the later part of the movie la. Thor Thor Thor ! Can't wait for part two. I thought Natalie Portman looked prettier in this one though. Don't kill me.

Hmm... Sourcecode gave me a bad headache though Jake Gyllenhaal was pretty good in this one.

And yes !

Went to to try La Petit cuisine theother day.

Which is rare cause I'm the sort who eats the EXACT same things I like every week, like a cycle, yes. I am extremely routinish.

I thought the food there was extreeeeeemeeeely salty, left me in thirst the entire night after but I'm craving it again.

Got a penchant for food that tastes comforting la.

Oh and I thought the creme brulee there was great ! Hahaha. Just like chinese egg tarts but without the flour and crust. Lol.

No photos sorry. Didn't bring my camera there. Hm. Is it time to get another digital camera?

Well, will leave now !

To do all the things I didn't get to do the past few weeks, slack in front of the tv (without guilt), and have a Glee and Vampire Diaries marathon. I know. I'm such a girl. Haha !

Oh and bytheway. Does anyone know where the heck Gossip Girl is heading???? Tsk.

Bye for now darliiiinnnngggsss ! (: Have a great weekend.

2011-04-24T00:23:00.001+08:00

Today, halfway through stats, I picked up the computer to do some shopping.

Spent a $150 in that hour break. Stress, it's pretty expensive, but I guess it's cheaper than therapy right??

Lol. I heard that from some sitcom I think.

I cannot wait for these couple of days to be over, I kind of decided, whatever happens, happens right?

Even if I've gotta spit out another $1000+ for a rep*** module or, two.

I can't even say the word. Touchwooooood.

Just a week to go.

I'm a terror to be with when exams are nearing, not kidding.

Lol. I'm like always two inches away from a mental breakdown at every moment, I could suddenly just tear or throw something, oh man. And at the very next moment when I'm looking at H&M online, I'm smiling and chatting a mile a minute.

Shiet. Got bipolar already is it.

Strength to the person who crosses me in these times, and I'm so sorry.

Hai well.

I guess it's back to the books again. );

First paper's on Monday. See ya.

Dark times.

2011-04-21T23:06:00.002+08:00

On a hiatus for the rest of April from anything fun.

It's fine and dandy when I don't think about it but when I do, the sick feeling in my stomach is horrible.

Almost every paper's gonna be a killer, and yes, I may be being extremely short sighted, but I simply can't picture beyond the next week.

It's doomsweek.

Touchwood touchwood.

My carefully built optimism is crumbling bit by bit with every passing day.

Hopefully, hopefully, the next time you guys hear from me I'll be free from academic woes and all.

Well, until the results come out that is.

Again, touchwood.

I'll be okay, I'll be okay.

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart.

He waits in the winds, he's gotta play a part.

Trouble is a friend yeah, trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh.

Thoughts.

2011-04-07T12:27:00.006+08:00

Even though I went to mug almost the entire day today in the library (haven't done that in ageeeeeees), I'm not feeling very good.

I've always felt that I'm relatively like you know, smart, or like, not stupid la you know !!

I know somewhere along during secondary school, I developed the 'heck care' attitude towards studies but still !

I always managed at the last minute.

But studying with people who are really going at it huh.

Oh man.

Too many times these days when I've tried studying, there's just this utter blankness, I know I'm not pushing myself hard enough, I kind of refuse to go on, but still.

I'm actually beginning to feel pretty lousy about myself man !

Like shameful.

Like half witted.

That's never happened before ! I'm pretty obnoxious and full of myself really. Hahaha !!

But when someone tells me to study harder these days, I feel like hanging my head cause deep down inside, I do not want to study harder.

I mean, I do la, badly, but I just don't want to sit down and do it you know?

Oh man. I'm feeling so little and small everytime I look at the books. You won't understand one la !

I feel like [ Σ ( x_i - x )² / ( n - 1 ) ]'s gonna prove how advanced and big of a person I am.

Whaaaaaat?

I know I know. Gotta cease this pity party and cram harderrrrrr !

At least I think I'm still pretty savvy. Though, I'll bet he'll beg to differ. HAHAA !

Hai. Sorry about the whining. I'm losing it. Lol.

Oh well !

Let's scratch all that for the moment, the boy's POPing this weekend !

Hahahaha. I know, it's kind of late.

And, he's kind of young.

You know huh. Honestly.

Everytime I let people know I have a boyfriend, I just KNOW they're gonna ask what he's doing now or how old is he.

I always feel very weird and like. I dunno, weird. When I tell them he's the same age as me. I'm 20. I remember I actually stuttered when I told my Dad. Lol !

And immediately I'll follow by saying, so youuuuuung right !

Haha. Does it even make sense?

Alot of girls I know are young or fine, relatively young if you're 15 and reading this, and dating a guy the same age but.

None of my best friends are and I'd bet that they think the guy I'm dating is just too young.

So, well. Ya, not really sure what to think of it sometimes.

It feels kind of weird at times, great almost ALWAYS, but still, out of place you know.

Some people have told me I'm being naïve, crazy or whatever but.

Hmmm. Would love to hear what you girls thing, but unfortunately, I can't add a comment box, have been trying, don't know how... why nobody asks me any questions on Formspring onee !!!

That was pretty random.

OKAY BUT.

Also honestly, it's been awesooooooooome so far, he's very often the wiser one, the stronger one definitely, though sometimes it feels like he needs to return to primary school, you know, boys.

I don't regret it. And I'm actually really excited to head over Barrage this Saturday !!

Not the waking up at 6am part, but watching them and their ceremony !!

Hehehe.

Well, that's it. Am gonna bring my camera out for once and take a ton of photos !

And you ! I know how you're always reading my blog right in front of me and chuckling away, what I just said was really nothing, just some stuff I wanted to get out of my system.

You're great. (:

Even though you gave me a surprise which was to bring me to take the circle line that once.

Hi you guys.

2011-04-05T12:49:00.003+08:00

You know by guys I mean girls and boys right.

Haha.

So ! Headed to the studio today, was pretty excited this time round, will tell you why in awhile.

First up, haven't touched my photobooth since FOREVER, so I had the awesome idea to make full use of my webcam this afternoon.

I was already running late, haven't even had my breakfast or lunch but aiya. Can't pass up a great idea like that ! Plus I already pretty much had my photoshoot makeup on, so must make use of the opportunity right !

My hair's always falling into centre parting since some time ago, and it used to drive me crazy. I had to comb and comb it all day to force it to part at the side, but I kind of like it nowadays.

You know what they say, if you can't beat em', join them !

Bought this braid like last month for shoots but have been too lazy to use it.

I'd say it's 95% close to the colour of my hair if the roots didn't grow out so quickly.

A close up so you can see the atrocious condition of my skin.

Still can't tell? Don't be fooled okay ! Hahaha. I have a gazillion white heads and my pores get HUUUUGE everytime I slap on sunblock or foundation on my face.

But ! It's a good eyelid day ! Some days I have these big double eyelids, and some days one disappears, they take turns so. Hehehe. Good day.

And on to the next item on the list !

I wanna talk about the next collection, of course.

Besides the collection, there's gonna be a little collaboration this time round.

Be prepared to see lots of gorgeouuuuuus shoes, and bags. I actually blogged about the shoes in a previous post, now, you can actually purchase them ! Here's just a fraction of the stuff you can expect. (:

I got this back weeks ago, it's a Topshop design, and the quality's pretty awesome. Have been carrying it around, it stores my hugeass camera, waterbottle, makeup case, wallet, sweet wrappers, tissue, keys, and the list goes on and on.

I've never been a big fan of vintage looking boxy bags, well. I'm not really the vintage clothing sort of girl (don't punch me huh), perhaps it's because I know I can't carry it off, but I fell for the Celine inspired boxy bag !

I don't have photos of it right now, but it looks exactly like this, except in an even prettier material. Imo of course. Ahhhh !

We took the photos right in the studio, and me thinks this patent loafers are yes, wait for it, to die for. So insanely gorgeous right ! And the make is incredible, definitely affordable too.

Plus some of the shoes you'll see.

Alot of edgy pieces, and I absolutely heart the last one. I was a little doubtful the first time I put it on but now, I absolutely heart it to biiiits ! It's inspired by MiuMiu and it is. Aiya. Spectacular la. (:

Oh. And a little secret. Hehehe. The photos above of the shoes aren't just stock photos koped from random sites and suppliers okay ! They're my legs !!

Ahem, I know that my legs are abit short la and personally I cannot really tell if the photos look good or not, but you get the idea.

It was taken at the studio, so study them if you must, what you see is what you get.

You know how some similar shoes are going at preorders these days, you never know what to expect, and the quality is sometimes questionable?

Well, this seller's shoes are sometimes manufactured from the originals, so I can assure you the quality's assured.

What am I saying man. Assure you that quality's assured. Haha. It's just wonderful quality la !

Another Topshop inspired design, the backpack. It's so cute, I don't know what to say.

More photos of the shoes and bags will be up tomorrow so hang on tight and be sure to check back to view more of the shoe and bag collection and look out for promotions !

In case you're damn gan jiong now and die die must reserve the shoes and can't wait or else you won't be able to sleep tonight (as i am sometimes) then google or search Lezle on facebook and place your orders !

The lady boss is really friendly, I can talk all day to her, so do not hesitate to email them !

I should be blogging more about the shoes once my collection is launched too, or when my items arrive. (:

Oh oh ! And one more very important thing. They're stuff are instocks, so you don't have to wait a decade to get them ! Unless they're sold out of course. (: Then simply place an order and they'll tell you the rest. ((:

My collection is gonna be a little smaller this week, but still some very exciting pieces nonetheless.

I forgot to bring a ribbed waterfall cardigan over to the studio ! So angry at myself. I guess I'll just have to launch that the next time.

Anyways, this is the maxi cardigan I was talking about. Me thinks it's incredibly chic. Just throw it on and be prepared to turn heads out there.

It's a little shorter than I remember, but aiya. All the better since I'm not really that tall. It comes in very limited quantity but no worries. Backorder for this piece won't take very long. (:

Next up is this throwover which I love love love so much.

Am gonna hold on tight to it. So sexy and cute at the same time !! The material is great qualty knit, hard and comfy. There's two pockets at the front, cute max.

So well. That's it this time.

For more, be sure to check back, at the livejournal page, to view the full collection, and pretty pretty stuff from Lezle !

Wednesday, 8:30pm ! (:

For any enquiries, email wonderlustworld@gmail.com

Muuuuaaaacccck !

Morning.

2011-04-05T03:00:00.001+08:00

Technically, 2am is the morning right?

As I said before in a previous post, I've been trying to get my sleeping schedule on a healthier track, but I realised these couple of days, I'm extremely sleepy anyday I'm up earlier than 11am.

I know, people who have no choice but to wake up in the wee hours of the morning probably feel like punching me now but alas ! It ain't me, it's my body !

Hahaha.

So the point is, I was already feeling kind of groggy since two hours ago but I kind of felt it was still too early to sleep.

Plus. I was still hoping that maybeeee, maaaaaybeee I could still squeeze in abit of studying before hitting the sack, but, hmm.

Exams are barely a month away, so do please be prepared to hear me whine about it for the next 3 weeks.

Eh !! If you've ever taken an important exam before you should that it's always constantly on your mind and ever more so when it's nearing what ! So cannot blame me right !

Anyway, the foreboding's terrible, I hate myself so, and I simply cannot get rid of the guilt (of not studying. much. yet.).

Why not just STUDY you ask???

Well, that's just out of the question.

Haha no la !

I did try, have been trying and trying for Management accounts the past few days.

So. Anyway again, I suddenly decided in my groggy state, with much spontaneity I might add, to what else???

Paint my nails !!

Hahaha.

Spent alot of time looking for the nail polishes and clipper.

Flash's not doing the colours justice, they're a little darker in reality of course. Was going to go with the teal at first, but the moment I put it on my thumb nail, I wiped it off.

Oh man, I'm so boring, Felt like I looked crazy with the green.

Put on my favourite Nearly Nude from Body Shop on my toenails, which I'm proud to say, I did a horrible job of.

Hehe.

What I usually do for my toenails is that I'll head to Dad's to get an awesome pedicure, usually black. Then in the next few months, everytime they grow out a little or the colour falls off, I simply get my bottle of black polish and paint over it.

Haha ! Awesome right.

These are my nails now, lol.

I wish ! I went and added random bits of teal on the gold and now I really do look crazy.

I ripped that photo from mandabear.com. Just wanted to say that that ring IS TO DIE FOR.

Oh man. Cannot wait until the boy gets out this week and reads what I wrote.

"Ask you to study don't study still do all this?? Paint your nails huh??"...

Come one day it's not gonna be that funny anymore, and then, he's really gonna kill me.

I promise to study tomorrow or the day after. ); Really.

Hoho !

By the way, the coming collection on Wonderlust World should be up on Wednesday night.

Here's a little of what's coming.

Got something pretty similar and in the same palette as this Urban Outfitters piece. Another romper of course, I hope you're not too sick of them yet cause I'm not gonna stop bringing them in. There's just something about these one pieces la. So cute can.

And next comes the piece that excites me most in this collection !

The maxi cardi !

I saw this on ASOS awhile ago and thought it looked really fun.

Definitely a head turner, the piece that's launching Wednesday's gonna be black too. Our favourite right !

Also, prepare your pockets cause you should be seeing alot of gorgeous shoes, and, some other stuff. (:

Oh oh !

And also, backorders for Topshop inspired chiffon skorts are now open yet again due to the overwhelming response.

Backorders for the the copper brown colour are extremely extremely limited, so hurry. I finally finally finally got my hands on the copper one for myself. HAHAHAHAHAA !!

Items will arrive on Friday this week, so send your orders in !

The skorts are priced at $23.50 excluding postage, measurements can be found on our website. All enquiries and orders should be mailed to wonderlustworld@gmail.com

And great.

It's 3am already. Heading to bed now !!

Toodles ! (:

Roar !

2011-03-30T20:46:00.002+08:00

Stupid livejournal is giving me so many problems. Think I'll just launch the collection tomorrow.

Hungry.

2011-03-29T21:01:00.003+08:00

Gosh. I could really REALLY use a bowl of piping hot, salty, comforting, Marutama ramen right now.

Anyways, previews (: before I launch my next collection tomorrow. As usual, putting up some of my favourites here.

Last collection was extremely hectic, I actually had to pick up backorders twice, and can you believe I brought a luggage to the post office?? What the. So ps.

Lol.

But it would have been worse if I had to lug all the parcels out with my own bare hands.

Ah yes ! Previews. ((:

Just a little sneak.

Was totally drained when I got to the studio this time, couldn't even catch my breath. Felt like my hands were gonna fall off dragging everything with me. Woe is me man. I suppose it's my own fault for wanting to finish everything in one day all the time. Hustled to get the photos finished, was sweating the whole time. The weather's getting incorrigible again !

People falling sick left right and centre, drink more water ya !

In two minds over which colour I should keep for the last two skirts. The mustard one is adorable and the choco one's just so pretty !

I think the rompers from this time round are pretty cute and they're all coming in a few colours, so. (: Look out for them okay !

Think everything should be up at 8pm tomorrow, Wednesday, see you guys then ! (:

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

On another note which has nothing to do with the blog. I mean, Wonderlust.

I've been trying so hard (hehe, okay, erm. kindof hard) to get my sleeping schedule back into shape.

Trying to sleep earlier and earlier, and to wake up earlier too.

It's tough you know ! Night time, especially late night time seems to pass especially fast.

And today. I set my alarm for an earlier time but it got stuck and didn't ring when I had smses come in when I was sleeping.

Why does that always happen???

And in the day, I hesitate and do not even dare sms Rz in fear that he asks me what I plan to do for the day or what I've done.

Lol.

He might ask me if I've been studying or not !

Also, he made me promise to study a chapter today for Management Accounting, but.

I asked him Law can or not? And he said no.

All I did was flip through like two chapters and read through some paragraphs.

I guess that's a start. Right?

Aiyaaaa. Better than nothing laaa !

I promise to study more in the days to come. God knows I need it.

I may not be very serious about my studies, but I do know that this semester's modules are the most difficult I've ever had.

Hai.

I wonder what I'm gonna tell him when he calls later. All I do is look mopey everytime he mentions studying.

And everytime he asks me what I've been doing for the day, and if I went to school, I always retort, "can don't ask me that or not !".

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Oh ! On a brighter note, school's out !

Yes, officially the last day today, and did I go?

Can don't ask me that or not !

Oh ! It's 9pm now.

I havn't been watching television since forever but I absolutely lovelovelove Chen Han Wei, thus I've started turning on the set again.

Here I go !

(: And if you're gonna have your exams soon too, well.

More power to you darling. Haha.

Byeeee !

Lazysaturdayafternoon.

2011-03-26T15:20:00.003+08:00

Life's good.

I woke up early this afternoon, took a shower right after (which is really rare) and am just kicking back lazing around right now.

Had a pretty good feeling about things so I tried playing Bejeweled on facebook but wl. The thing kept disconnecting on me. I could have gotton 700,000 by now if I was still playing.

Hahahaha. I know, pretty loserish eh.

Eh ! It's a blessing to be able to lie around at home to do nothing okay.

Even if it's just a few hours. Gotta head out soon to get some stuff done but. There's still now.

Oh ya. So World Invasion theother day. Not too bad, not too bad ! Because the movie follows a couple of guys in the military, Marines I think, and my mind kept going to the poor boy !

What if there really is war one day?? I shudder to think about it, but I'd never let him go. I told Siying the same thing. Never ! I don't care if I'm selfish but I feel like if one goes to war, their chances of returning's almost negative.

The boys in the movie, fighting for their lives already, still must carry that humongous field pack on their back. They look like they can't even balance ! Poor things. );

Anyhow. Back to reality.

A couple day's ago Photobucket died on me. Started displaying the tiled bandwidth exceeded all over. I was abit ganjiong la. Tried to sign up for the pro plan with them but had some complications.

So I called darling Elaine who's all over at Australia to sign for the year plan for me. Technically, it is her account, I've been using it since secondary school days when she gave me her username and password man !

Sadly. We are nowhere close to secondary school days anymore. Before you know it, we might be grandparents already. With baggy underarms, wrinkles...

Ya. Okay.

And this morning ! With the outdoors so glorious, I started thinking about Bali again !

Oh man.

Seriously, out of all the countries that I've been to (though it isn't alot), I miss Bali the most and the most often !!!

I know, it's not the most entertaining country, I mean. The shopping there is. I wouldn't call it shopping. It's not even worth a mention really. But !

The place is beautiful la.

I dug up this photo and couldn't help but stare at it for awhile.

Definitely my favourite hotel experience. Will never forget the place.

It's so good for the soul can ! I don't think I'll even need medicated oil on my forehead over there.

Miles and miles of green, paddy fields, sun (not that i like that very much), sea, water, open baths, infinity pools, gorgeous villas, hotels, argh.

In my opinion, the movie Eat, Pray, Love was pretty bad, but watching Julia Roberts walk those paddy fields, I could almost taste the air there !

Serious.

And the thing about that place is that, their decor is to die for, all woody, glassy, natural, plus their rooms always smell like, hibiscus, lemon grass. Like P.S. cafe at Dempsey !

And the food. I had the best calamari I ever tasted in my life the last time I was there.

Save me.

Exams are in, I do not even know when, but the break where we take to study for exams' here which means the papers are coming soon but all I can think about, is taking a vacation and slacking, and eating, and having fun.

Help !

2011-03-24T17:09:00.001+08:00

Heading out to catch World Invasion now. (:

Hope it's good !

♥

2011-03-22T18:31:00.004+08:00

My mind's been so lazy, I can't even work it to think of something proper to title this post.

I wrote hello initially but I realized that I did that for the previous posts already.

Changed it to a ♥ which I think is pretty apt cause I absolutely ♥ the new collection that's coming up on Wonderlust World !

(: It's not up yet, I really can't wait to launch it so I'm doing it abit earlier, which is tomorrow night !

I'm extremely impatient and would do it today but, I've got tons of things to finish so. ):

Anyways, like I said, I love this collection extremely much and would love to just keep almost everything in it... but. The really odd thing is, I'm really really stingy with the stuff on the blogshop.

I mean, everytime I'm tempted to keep something for myself, I never do. I always end up letting go of the stuff if there's someone who wants that final piece.

It doesn't really make sense I know but... it's not happening for this collection !

Once I got home, I made sure to separate the stuff I wanted and hung it in my wardrobe before I could change mind.

I know that the colours you've been seeing in the recent collections, like brown, camel, creme, beige, I don't know what else, just the colours along these lines are pretty last season.

I mean, I get it that it's spring now and colours are supposed to be popping like, mustard? Tangerine? Purple?

But I'm still so in love with last season's palette. It's okay right? I think nudes' and browns' pretty timeless like black... and grey.

Okay. I'm a boring person.

Here's the sneak !

Have been wondering if I should keep a piece of this since I got it. It's so soft and comfy ! I have a similar one which I got from Cotton On at like, $39 or $49? What in the world. I love Cotton On as much as the next girl who loves her cardigans but. I felt like they were ripping me off then. Cotton On's supposed to be fab and cheap !

These are definitely my favourites out of all the pieces I've brought in. It's not that the others aren't nice but, these are just what I'd usually wear.

I love them to bits. They're just all so easy, and pretty !

Especially that shimmery tank dress, I want to hug and kiss it.

And this is from the last collection.

Backorders for it should arrive this coming Friday so keep your orders coming in ! I did not keep one for myself the last time and have been regretting it. Am reserving one for myself this time round !

So see you guys tomorrow 8:30pm ! I hope I won't be late. (: Will try my bestest but forgive me if I am.

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

It was a pretty good week the last, I've been screaming poverty every chance I've had but in all actuality, come to think of it that's not really the case. I bought so much this week, hence the happy mood.

Tralalalala. Will show you some of my buys in abit !

Had a free Billy Bomber's meal (for one) with his Safra card ! Was feeling very pleased with myself.

Hehehe. Eh, I may not like Billy Bomber's much but ah. Freeeeeeeeeee !

Also, he's been playing Angry birds every chance he gets nowadays gr. I know I was the one who bugged him to buy the game for me and all, but still. Haha.

So horrible. I'm always bugging him to turn his attention to me me me.

But let's not go into detail about that. Here's some of my buys. Oh happy day !

Been meaning to get some of these forever, finally got them.

Loooove these Jessica Simpson inspired wedges. Almost got them in both colours, luckily I was able to talk myself out of it and got it only in brown instead.

Abit old this one, but at least I'm able to walk in it and not get a hundred blisters.

And this adorable pair. Got it from shesprees.livejournal.com. Super cheap can ! $25 only ! Crossing my fingers, hope they fit and won't hurt. (:

I've also been looking high and low for this. I know I can order it from websites like Shoesone, but don't really like waiting weeks for my shoes so... anyone carrying them, do let me know !

Buying stuff's seriously the best therapy ever.

Oh oh ! And F21's Spring collection is looking so good. Went to the store and wanted to get so many things. Stalking their website everyday nowadays. Hai. I fear for my pocket.

Ah.

Well. That's it for today. Gotta go finish my management assignment now.

It took my 2 hours to finish 3 questions last night.

The poor boy has been sleeping late and waking up real early to finish everything for me while I was sleeping. );

All I've gotta do is type his draft out on excel and hand it up tomorrow. Just doing that took me so long. He must have had a really hard time doing it. I'm so sorry ! And thank you. (: Did I ever tell you you're the bestest bestest bestest?

Hahahaha ! Okay la. Very gross, but you are !!! I ♥ you more than all those shoes put together la. Heheheheheheeee.

Ahem.

I had no idea how to go about doing the assignment. Don't know how I'm gonna pull off this semester's exam but. Time to study hard.

Wish me luck !

Until the next time ! (:

):

2011-03-18T00:21:00.007+08:00

Just launched the new collection like two hours ago.

Was late but I tried my best ! Stupid stupid livejournal had to go pop an error out. Something about my post being to big. WHAT?

Was feeling really frustrated cause every launch takes me hours to prepare, editing the photos, launching them on lj.

Having an impossible migraine right now, I feel like I don't ever want to lay eyes on those photos ever again. Have been staring at them for hourssssss !

Hai.

Should not have watched videos all the way till 6am last night. And then was so tired, forgot to set the alarm and ended waking up at 4pm. No wonder the headache.

Will go snuggle in bed with the new book I bought this evening.

Hope it's good.

Gosh. A basket of xiaolongbao and custard bun would be so good right now. Or a bowl of Marutama ramen.

Ah ! Tomorrow will be better !

p.s. If I do not reply your email for items you have ordered, it probably means that they're all pending. Will make a few calls tomorrow to see if they can be restocked and will reply to your emails then ! ((:

Hello.

2011-03-14T23:56:00.008+08:00

Just some random photos that's been in my camera a very long time !

Oh ya. Digressing a bit, I was just thinking awhile ago-

my memory's been so horrible for awhile now, it's like, I can spend two minutes looking for a hairband that's already on my head, or mentally tell myself to put on conditioner next while showering and end up applying cleanser on my face instead.

And the most common one. I'm always opening a new tab and before you know it ! At the very next moment I forget which website I wanted to go to.

I think getting senile already.

Haha ! Touchwood la.

Oh. And digressing AGAIN.

I failed my Business Accounts ! Or Management Accounts. Aiya, whichever. It's just one small test but still. Sigh. I DO NOT want to repeat any modules. Better pray harder from now on.

And. Work harder. I'm dangerously lighthearted about this failure. Oh man. Getting more and more nonchalent about everything !

Hehehehe.

See how happy I still am?

Hahaha !

Oh yes ! Random photos.

Awhile ago (like a month back), I wanted to surprise Ruizhang with something ! Totally random. Excitedly told him I was gonna bring him someplace new to have supper.

Cause we're always always eating the same few things thanks to me. I am super routinish and am the sort who refuses to try new doubtful looking food for fear of being disappointed. That, or I simply love Marutama and Popeyes too much.

Anyways.

I told him it was something he loved and it would be extremely simple to guess ! And then of course I bugged him to make a guess right after that.

He only had to try like 3 items?? He was very close when he asked me if it was Mac's hotcakes.

Hahahaha. Darn.

That night, I dragged him to Prinsep Street, for Strictly Pancakes.

What a surprise. EH ! He's worse okay. There was once when he said he had a surprise for me and we ended up taking the Circle line ! Lol ! From then onwards, almost everytime he mentions surprise, I would ask "circle line huh?". Hahahahaa.

And. I know quite suagu la. But there's a first time for everything right?

Besides, I never liked pancakes much. But that boy. Has such a weird penchant for them. I say weird because I can never understand it.

I can never even manage to finish Mac's one. So bleh.

Okay. Shall stop droning. Photos !

Do they look good?

If so, don't be fooled, they're not.

Cannot stand some of these concept restaurants, always cheating my feelings. I went to their website to look for their address and they got me hooked when they wrote something about having a gastronomical delight.

Pui ! Fanciful words and cute decor. Always getting fooled by them.

Rather head over to EWF to have my lamb burger and overtly salty sinful fries.

Haha. After eating halfway, he said he missed hotcakes. So much for my surprise.

I believe real pancakes tastes different. How can they look so good in tv shows and cartoons but taste so mediocre???

Hehe. Some very late CNY photos.

And my nails this New year ! Very very late and pointless I know.

My dad said it wasn't nice cause it looked "homemade". But whatever la. I loved it so much ! So adorable can ! Can't wait to do it again when my nails stop breaking.

On a sidenote, I shall return to have flushes and straights painted on them like I did the year before from now on.

I believe they intimidated everyone else on the blackjack table to hand money over to me.

Also, I asked for a few sticks of these while over there.

I'm sure you've seen them around, they come in like a sort of hard rubber stick and you slice them at the cross section.

Haha. I made Rz fold those paper boxes for me. I saw them at his house once and asked if he knew how to do it.

The first few he made we're too big and I kept saying, "eh this smaller one so cute ! I like this size more. Can make again?".

And he ended up folding them smaller and smaller until I was happy. Ahahahahahhahaa.

The little things are damn cute la.

But everyone I pasted them on doesn't seem to appreciate them.

Did it while he was sleeping.

I told him not to peel them of but he did it anway. Said it was too gay.

Waste my apple !

I put the Chanel ones on my mom's big toe but she peeled them away TOO !!

Said they kept scratching her and that it was not so nice.

Walao. No appreciation. Hahahaha.

Anyhow. That's all for now !

Am going to watch a few episodes of Survivor: Redemption Island.

It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good man !!! Seriously.

The first episode made me laugh so much and so many jaw droppers.

Ah. Cannot fathom how some of the players think. So many douches.

I ♥ Boston Rob though ! And sometimes Russell. He was epic in the past seasons. Slimy but epic.

Bye you all !

Muaaaaah !

Cold night tonight.

Just returned home from poker, and Ruizhang made me instant porridge.

Wl. It's like drinking warm salty water, making me more hungry than before. But. Feeling very spoilt nonetheless. (((:

We've been playing since 12:30am after catching a movie, dinner, returning home, invoicing the emails.

Tired, but honestly, if they wanted to play till morning comes, I wouldn't have objected ! Lol. So horrible I know.

Spent the whole of today launching the collection man ! Feeling so heartpain. Hate spending time doing other stuff when he's out. );

On a happier note ! I am feeling pretty happy and contented now, albeit hungry.

Partly because I'm pretty excited about visiting a flea market tomorrow !

It's my first time, but that's not really the thing. There are shoes there that I've set my eyes on and I've been waiting for this flea for weeeeeeks.

Hehe.

Abit regretful that I didn't bring my camera though. Left it at home. /:

Oh oh ! And my new glasses are horrible. Putting them on after taking out my contacts makes me feel like puking. Seriously ! I even missed my steps a couple of times cause it's so fish eyey. Waste my money !

There's no way I can switch back and forth between contacts and glasses. Is it even possible to feel totally comfortable switching back and forth? Like there isn't too much of a difference in the degrees? I really want to switch to glasses at night cause 12 hours of contacts a day's just taking too much of a toll on my eyes. ):

Think. I'll go to sleep now. My writing doesn't even sound coherent to myself.

(: The weather's great tonight. Or this morning. Since it's only a couple of hours till day breaks.

Hungryyyyyyyyy.

Dreary week. But ! Sneak previews up !

2011-03-09T19:22:00.001+08:00

I've really been meaning to update but have just been soooo busy !

Have been running around this week doing this and that, especially today.

One of my eye's been infected AGAIN, seriously, I was half expecting it what with sleeping so late everynight.

(i'm trying to sleep earlier nowadays !)

I was going to leave it but I've got a test tomorrow which means that I HAVE to go to school, and also, I wanted to visit so many places with Ruizhang this weekend !

Swollen eyelids are soooo inconvenient man.

Thus, I made myself go to the clinic this afternoon, and impromptuly while walking home, made a U-turn and (finally FINALLY) went to get two new boxes of contact lenses. Plus a pair of glasses.

I've been procrastinating for yearsssss !

Not to mention that I've had on this pair of contacts since like- Phuket.

Which was last year. On my birthday.

Which makes it almost half a year old?

No wonder the swollen eye now. I suppose I brought it upon myself.

AND !!

Just like that, almost $300 gone !

Damn heartpain.

Hate spending money on necessities. Hai.

Woe is me today.

Though, I do feel a little light hearted for having settled on a pair of glasses. I suppose my eyes will feel healthier soon (i pray the swell goes down tomorrow), and am pretty excited try on the new glasses tomorrow.

And yes ! Sneak previews for the blogshop's launch this Friday !

My eye was already swollen yesterday, so I brought shades along just as a precaution.

I know. Aviators feels so yesterday. ): But ! They were all I had !

Am pretty excited for this collection, I really like some of the pieces inside !

Here are the few !

Yup, that's the few.

I really adore all the pieces here, the chiffon skirt, the military body con.

Plus the embellishments on piece in the 4th picture feels so House of Harlowy ! I like. Very very much.

Love the rompers, the quality is unbelievable for the price, and the pop of colour in the last one's so cute.

Well. I suppose that's it.

Big pictures are great ! But I'd go crazy if I had to host them up everytime I feel like blogging.

There'll be more of other pieces up on Wonderlust World in awhile.

Gotta go study for tomorrow Biz stats now. Or try.

Ah woe is me.

Maybe I'll have dinner first. So hungry.

Bye byeeeee darlings !

Oh gawd.

2011-02-23T22:05:00.003+08:00

After slacking for so long, I find myself daaaaaaamn freaking tired everyday since before New Year's Day nowadays.

Maybe it's Wonderlust World (in case you didn't know, it's my baby and my very first attempt at business), or maybe it was the Chinese New Year, or maybe it was Elaine's birthday.

Or maybe it's the lousy school tests that keeps coming up !

Roar ! They've been such a pain. As aloof and heck careley as I am about school and attendance, I am insanely uptight about papers, tests, exams, assignments.

That doesn't mean I fulfill my part and complete them to my best ability though- but still- I am extremely uptight.

I tire myself out simply by worrying and stressing about them and work my mind to nag at myself 12/24 in a day- that at the end of the day, I'm really too tired to study.

Uh ! But I still do. Study. Some. And pray that my beautiful mind and driven soul will take care of the rest.

Lol.

Nah. It's the blogshop.

It's got me soooooooo dead tired.

Oh ! And on top of all that, there's tuition ! Shuffling here, shuffling there, school, here, there, everywhere.

RAAAAHHH !

Still.

The blog has made me pretty happy.

I mean, what's better then being able to shop, AND profit from it?

(even if it's not alot right now...)

Yada yada,

but it IS shopping.

And nothing, NOTHING, gives me as much satisfaction then looking at potential shopping.

It makes me crazy happy !

Albeit tired. Mad tired. Crazy tired. Insanely tired. Drop dead tired.

It's working me to my bones.

Ah. I do hope I don't give up so soon.

Well.

And hopefully I'll post more often about what I've been up to- with pictures.

I don't know what's all those photos for. Granted they're mostly already on facebook but... ...

OH !

BYTHEWAY.

I won money again this year. Very very meeeeaaaagre compared to last year but still.

I heart my neighbours seriously. Blackjack with them is the bomb. Last year. This year. Hopefully every year.

I've never played anywhere where you can attempt to win to your heart's content without feeling guilty.

It's like, it's like, looking at a pot filled with great smelling criiiispy cash and stuffing your hands inside, and just stuffing them into your bag, pockets, wherever. Take, take, take, take !

Hm... until. You start losing of course.

I know. I sound crazy.

Hoho.

Don't worry.

I'm not addicted to gambling- during New Year.

I'm just addicted to winning money.

HUH WHAT? What's the diff you say?

(: Hm hm. I don't lose. That's the diff.

Hahaahahahahahahahahahaaaaaahahahaa.

Oh man. I sound too sure. Next year confirm lose.

Until the next time darlings. Kiss kiss !

I ♥ Marutama so so much.

2011-01-26T20:41:00.001+08:00

I know I've posted similar photos up before.

But I just had to do it again.

Afterall, for almost every week during the past few months, it's always to United Square, Central, United Square, Central.

I'm so spoilt ! We're always eating the food I want to eat, watching the movies I want to watch and everything.

You're much more accommodating than I deserve but, hehe. (:

I'm very nice too riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

Thank you still.

Ahhh.

I want to pull my hair out right now just by looking at the photos. I'm home without even as much as a bottle of green tea or chips.

Seriously, their egg, three layered pork or charsiew if you prefer to call it that (but to me three layered pork is just three layered pork), and their broth is to die for.

Ahhhhhh the souuuuuuuuuuup.

I think this is comfort food at it's best, followed by tiochew porridge with a plate of stewed three layered pork of course. :D

Ah. The life.

): Anyone wants to visit Marutama with me soon? Like tomorrow???

I cannot take it already.

Wonderlust.

2011-01-18T03:04:00.003+08:00

It's 2:33am right now and I have no idea what I'm doing blogging and not sleeping.

Hm.

I've been feeling so uptight and stressed up since the start of this year, insomnia's pretty common every night. I suppose that's one of the reasons why I'm always dragging my feet to bed. I think it's more tiring to lie awake unable to sleep than to stay awake just bumming.

Anyway ! (:

A little photos of my recent year.

As you all must know by now, I've gotten a new camera.

Don't be fooled by it's cutesy image (i think it looks cutesy here just cause it's smaller then most camera's that has similar styles), but me thinks it's pretty useless.

Haha ! I know ! I can be so ungrateful at times. I mean... it did take okay photos for me in Korea I guess. But still. Hrmp. It could do better. Much better.

But !

Since the display can be twisted here and there, I can now do this !

Ta dah !

Blusher's actually my one of my favourite make up tools nowadays. I love it ! I know i should start using some bronzer is it? Ever since my beach days, my face just isn't the same shade as the rest of my body anymore. It's weird.

I didn't even really touch up on it, cause sunlight's always the best lighting one can have !

And. If you click on the photos, you'll actually see that I have the biggest pores. Seriously. Each of them million little dots will stare back at you as if they have a life of their own.

Ah. Sad times. If you have ultra smooth skin, I'm probably jealous of you.

Don't be so disgusted leh. I haven't done this in yeaaaaarrrssss !

I'm not kidding !!! I don't even remember taking shots like this with my digital cam.

I do remember often doing it with my phone during my secondary school days though...

ahhh... nostalgia.

But that's besides the point.

Hahahaha.

Here's some photos of Everything with Fries.

Had it with Ruizhang. I'm not sure why but deep down I kind of know it's really not very well made and prepared, yet I crave it.

I suppose anything that's with fries is gooooooo ooooood.

Don't go to the fast food styled one in Somerset Central though. It's bleh.

I bought this for him !

But no. Haha. I've never made him any sandwiches before.

Lamb burger.

And I think this is one of his favourite ice cream places?

If I'm not wrong.

And if you see the words on the wall, I opt to disagree.

Me thinks he likes ice cream much much more than me.

Another EWF !

This one's at Joo Chiat. I enjoyed eating there more. Totally cute settings and decor. Lol.

Gobbling my food.

Oh and yes.

One of the reasons why I've been feeling so weary and exhausted recently is probably because I conjured up the crazy idea of starting my own blogshop.

I mean, might as well right? Since I spend most of my waking hours online shopping?

Hehe. Come to think of it. I havn't really bought anything ever since I started doing this. Too tired and sick of looking at clothing.

... (: Hm. Maybe less of sick looking at clothing and more of tired.

Anyhow.

Thanks Kailing for helping me promote it ! (: Just saw it on your blog. So touched. Put hyperlink someore. Hahahaha. Kiss kiss la. Buy more Koi for you. Haha ! And Siying and everyone else for liking this and that ! On fb of course.

Here are some pictures from the process.

Really kudos to those blogshop owners who's done this for a long time man.

It is damn damn damn tiring, mentally exhausting, physically draining. The procuring of clothes, walking, walking, studying, looking, haggling, thinking, moving here and there, photo editing, web editing.

Lol. I never imagined something to be so simple which turned out to be so tough.

Why did I even do this again.

I suppose it's cause it's fun. And I might really just do it all over again. Soon.

Eh. Does it look like I have abs?

Hahahaha. Okay la. I know. Obviously it's just a really round tummy from all the fries stuffin'.

Really comfy place, InknLight.

The owner was nice enough too. (:

Hopefully, more success to the collection.

I sincerely believe if all the people who's confirmed their purchases paid up now, I would have broken even but no !

Irresponsible shoppers are everywhere, so irritating.

But still.

Sometimes I'm surprised by how quick girls agree to buy something. No need prompting, persuasion, nothing.

I love all of them. Hahaha. No kidding ! I feel this immense gratitude and ♥ all the girls who has purchased the items.

(: They make a 2nd collection possible !

Hehe.

And thank you Ruizhang for lugging all my stuff up and down, down and up. And for putting up with me and my whinyness.

I know I'm not the most easy person to be stuck with. I throw about 10324723840 tantrums in a day ! I'm such a brat.

Well.

Until the next post darlings. Real tired.

Gonna hop into bed right now ! Toodles !
