ARGHHHHH I just got into an accident.What a way to end my 2 days-stay at home.FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.Got into the accident right before I had to fly.Am back in Singapore now. :( Change: the impending fear. I wouldn't need to go to work today if I was in KL. :(*****************************************Thank you for all you people who did my shoe poll!! :)))The results were quite half-half (*in denial wtf*), so it was a judgment call, haha. Keep a lookout to see the outcome of your votes wtf.(and ehhh seriously, which ones of you are the one who voted yes or no!! I am damn curious. :P)Posting some pictures from my previous weekend back home, 'cause I will be going home tomorrow-- and going home means more batches of pictures! :P After which KL pictures would go through a dry spell 'cause I won't be going home for about 3 weeks. T_TAs promised, a picture of my new sunnies! :)I think I perched it a little too high on my nose ('cause I was rushing wtf), so I looked like a scuba diver with goggles on. T_TWearing this gorgeous champagne-colored satin headband with mini gold studs. It was an amazing find! :) Got it along with this other lovely vintage wooden hand-painted headband. Aaah, begone, boring Diva hairbands! :PJing damn stupid (and blind), she called this a 'ostrich' headband, 'cause it looks like ostrich leather. -___-EH BTW did you know that a ostrich leather Chanel 2.55 bag would cost you SGD55k!!!!!!!DAMN FREAKING EXPENSIVE RIGHT!! I almost died when I saw it.Ok, moving on to more affordable things wtf.Affordable, but priceless.Meeting up with Smalls! :)'Cause I miss this miniature woman with a voice louder than a kingdom of crows so much-- spending 2 days in S'pore 1 month ago was NOT enough!That, and pressure from her, 'cause she insisted that I only go back to KL for junkyard sales. T_T And that the only way to meet me is to go to junkyard sales. T__TErr, only one picture of us in Paddington's House of Pancakes. I took like, 3 pictures of Chris who was there as well, but the pictures have all mysteriously disappeared!My camera doesn't like boys ar.Outfit! I call this... birthday suit, 'cause all nude wtf.Wearing a really pretty sheer beaded top which I stole from my mom's wardrobe, tweed wool cuffed shorts, and a brand new pair of nude-colored patent platform pumps. Which oddly enough, is really comfortable, but it killed ONE toe of mine. Not one toe from each feet, just the toe on my right. WHY???I added my hairstylist on MSN so that we can discuss what to do to my hair. Why am I like this! T___TYa ya, I will be doing my hair on Wednesday. Since I will be back and no one is free to accompany me during the day (everyone is either at school or work), I thought I might as well do something productive wtf. I am starting on the hate-my-hair phase again anyway (which is why most of the time my hair is up), so it's time.Anyway! Yen (my hairstylist) said that she will straighten my hair + dye it and it won't kill my hair! Her exact words were: "If I do it, it will be ok" Damn cocky right! :P But I like that in a woman wtf.I am so shallow sometimes I hate myself. My biggest worry is that if she straightens my hair on Wednesday, what hairstyle can I do for Mambo on the same night!!! ('cause after rebonding, you're not supposed to tie/clip/curl/basically do anything to your hair). I have the perfect outfit to go with the perfect hair accessory, but now the option is thrown out of the window! Life is so hard wtf.***************************************I got all my furniture already!:)))FINALLY after making so many trips, I paid for everything at Ikea yesterday.I swear to god, my heart bled a little when I swiped my debit card for the crazy-ass amount. Crazy for only 2-months of salary!! And for what is essentially a big pile of wood wtf.I get so emo when I think of all the pretty clothes and bags I could get with the amount. It's like I paid so much, but there was no satisfaction in spending, sigh. Retail therapy gone wrong wtf.But I did feel very, very grown-up though. :) In my entire life, I have shifted-house 3 times (excluding aussie), and each time, daddy and mommy and the muscular movers would do all the work, I just needed to make sure that all my barbie dolls came along with me. Even in Melbourne, we had friends to help us move in/out every single time.But this time around, I did everything by myself. From choosing the furniture from a catalogue, to picking them out in the showrooms, to picking/loading them myself, to liaising with the delivery guys... The bulk of the work will come this weekend though, which is when the furniture and my stuff would be moved in.I am really afraid of Sunday-- the day when I will move in my belongings. I have only been in S'pore for 2 months, and I have collected so so so much things. Mostly shopping, I am ashamed to admit. =/ My aunt and my cousins have expressed their shock (and disgust wtf) at the sheer volume of things I have, and they worry for me too, come Sunday. T_TBut most of all, I fear of... moving to a new place. When I express this to people, they go "But why?" But it's still another new phase. Another place to call 'home'. While I am slightly excited about having my own proper room (all the decorating and making the place mine), I am just nervous and weary, I guess. New location, new transport routes,new people to stay with, and so many more.I am looking forward to sorting out my wardrobe though! I have been living out of my suitcases. :(What I wore to Ikea yesterday.No lovey-dovey M'sia post this year, but hey, check out the colors of my outfit! I didn't notice how patriotic I was!! :PI think my subconscious wanted to scream out its love for M'sia. ;)Click here for last year's lovey dovey patriotic post.1 year has passed????It felt really strange looking at the new batch of Merdeka night clubbing pictures this year-- without me. :(On another note, I bought 100 hangers yesterday, haha. Contortionist. *updated*I saw an uncle in the bus yesterday wearing a snug round-neck, puff-sleeved leopard-print tee with high-waisted black pants and gold cuffed chains HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH. But then he let me go before him with a smile on his face so now I feel bad for laughing at him. =/I haven't done my work-outfits entries for quite sometime, but here is one of today's outfit-- from work to play! :)I still religiously document my work outfits every day though (to delay going to work WTF); when I run dry of things to talk about I shall post them up k-- all 3-4 weeks worth of them. :PHurrah for Fridays! :)And this is what I wore for meeting up with my high school friends! :)I was wearing the same top from work-- tucked it into my ball-skirt for work, and pulled it out for play! And yessss, I brought a change of shoes. *shy* Wearing kitten mules seemes inappropriate for Friday night drinking what!And omg, I have absolutely NOTHING to wear in S'pore! I have quite a bit of working clothes here (enough for me to wake up and just pull on something and still look reasonably put-together and fresh), but I am out of going-out clothes! And going-out outfits are the most crucial of them all, 'cause they depict personal style the most right. :( I didn't bring much (play)outfits over, 'cause apparently I thought I'd be too busy to have a life. -_- It feels weird though, 'cause back home I have a somewhat extensive wardrobe, but in S'pore I feel like I am without an arm and a leg. T_TMust. Pack. More. Clothes. Over. When. I. Go. Home.This is Topshop's changing room btw. Sigh, my friends could only meet up at 7.30pm, but I finished work at 5.30pm sharp (self-declared wtf). Going home and coming out to the city again was not an option, so I did what any self-respecting girl would do-- I went shopping. And I reserved 1 pair of shoes, ('cause I didn't want to bring a box of shoes along with me for dinner and drinks), paid for another pair of shoes (but left it at the shop to retrieve them another day), and spent SGD100 on tank tops in Topshop. T___T (Tank tops for layering! I have never ever purposely bought basic tops for layering before; everything that I buy must always come with a twist-- but hey, I think I am going to have fun experimenting. ;) )I must claim the money back from my stupid friends!! Had they met up with me earlier, my bank account wouldn't have suffered. T____TOh ya, When I was in the mall, an old guy came up to me and started talking to me in gibberish. I was running late and therefore quite impatient, so I kept interrupting him, shrugging my hands and shaking my head apologetically at him. He stopped, and told me in a matter-of-fact way, "I am Japanese!". That was when I figured out that the nonsense he was spurting out was Japanese wtf. But anyhow, he kept on repeating the same line a few times over-- "I am Japanese!", and expected me to join him in the conversation. -_- It took him awhile to realize that we are not from the same hometown WTF, and after that he asked me for directions to Suntec City in English. Before he walked off to the direction I pointed him to (correct directions la, I only give out misleading directions to people when I am in a prankster mood or if the person has body odor HAHAHA), he spinned around and told me in his solemn, crisp Japanese accent, "You are beautiful!" followed with those little "ehh"s and curt nods that Japanese people seemed to like to incorporate into their conversations.A compliment is always good to brighten your day! Even when it comes from a dirty old man wtf.VERY IMPORTANT, please do my shoe poll on the right side of my blog!!! It's VERY VERY VITAL OK! (If some other poll comes on other than the shoe poll, just refresh the page, 'cause there are a few polls going on my page now)What happened was, I stumbled into this shoe store-- OK FINE IT WAS NOT A CHANCE ENCOUNTER, my friend brought me there during lunch break, and having seen some shoes that I liked, I hunted and searched all over to find the shop again (it's quite hidden!)-- and omg, I LOVE the shoes so much. BUT! They are considerably more expensive than the usual price I would pay for shoes. I would say, around Topshop shoes' pricing or slightly lower than that? :(I had so much fun in the shoe shop though, I spent easily an hour in there, despite the fact that the shop was barely bigger than a shoebox, no pun intended. I even started chatting with a few ladies there-- we asked each other opinions on the shoes that we were trying on; we eyed shoes that each other tried on and proceed to try on the same pair wtf; we complimented each other on the existing shoes we had on etc.. Girl bonding yo! :PAnd the sales lady is seriously amazing. The shop doesn't put out all their shoes on display, and after seeing 2 pairs of shoes that I took out from the display shelves (mary-janes and oxfords), she started taking out shoes from the stockroom which she "thinks that I will like", and boy, was she spot on! Every pair she brought out elicit a little gasp of delight from me. T_T And now I want them all. T__TIf it was only one or even 2 pairs, I wouldn't really give much thought to it, but we are talking about a few pairs here (actually I bought one already *shifty eyes*), so it would add to quite a bulk of an amount. T__T But they are really cute, HOWWWW. I don't know why I have been having such a shoe obsession recently too... I think it's to make up for my lack of interest in shoes in the past (another story for another day :P).So anyway, if I want the shoes I should go back by Monday to get them, the shop sells very limited amounts of each design and theysell out relatively quick too. SO HELP ME, do the poll k!Baby, you don't have to do the poll, I know your stand WTF.And speaking of shoes, Jing and I were having an inspiring conversation about shoes, and LOOK AT HER DRAWING OF A PAIR OF SHOES THAT SHE WANTED TO ILLUSTRATE TO ME:HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH WTF HHAHAHAHAH DAMN UGLY!!! Huddled in my bed corner. The last thing I feel like doing now is blogging.Just got off the phone with the boyfriend; he is on my way to Mambo. Take away the fact that I wish I can go club in KL, to just meet up with everyone and let loose and be crazy, it was the manja, teasing, giggles-filled short conversation we had that put me in this craving, delicious mood. What I'd really like to do is just curl myself and hide at the corner of my bed, and run through all my happy memories with the boyfriend. Unfortunately, this mood comes with side effects, it makes me acutely aware of what I don't have with me now. Which is basically everyone I love... and just home, in general. :(This is one of the lingering consequences of going home for the weekend. Once I am back here by myself, I will be struck by a bout of homesickness. I will feel down and just.. bored. Especially often, the first day I am back in S'pore would be a Monday. Take Monday blues, and add on the the severe case of feeling homesick, and you get a very sad hui wen indeed. :( Not to mention that my parents and sister(s) were supposed to to come down to S'pore this coming weekend-- I was looking forward to it for a couple of weeks already; planning where to bring them, thinking of what to wear etc. But now they are not coming down; instead, the the whole family is going to PD/Ipoh for a family trip-- without me. :(Ok, let's not be sad here. I am going to upbeat. 'Cause... I will be going home next week! Next Tuesday, in fact, haha. Took 2 days leave, and am going to go zoom-zoom to and fro on an airplane to save time. I am not so spoiled and depressed that I have to purposely take leave to go home in the middle of the week k!! I have some personal matters to attend to, which I may or may not blog about. Personal matters which involve a dinner function. -_- But anyhow, my 2 days at home would be packed, 'cause I made bookings for a facial (oh lord, save my skin) and a hair appointment! I really can't stand my hair now, regrowths are just so ugly! Not to mention that my rebonded parts are growing out, and now my hair is taking on an unruly feel. T__T Which brings me to my dilemma, I have heard that when people with dyed hair re-straighten their hair, their hair will go bonkers!! Like it will just become extremely dry twigs, and err that's not a look I am going after wtf. But rebonding is sort of a must for me, 'cause my hair has a natural wave which I don't really like. Not to mention rebonding my hair doesn't make my hair flat, in fact, it controls it a bit, 'cause really, I have extremely thick bushy hair. :( Another option I am considering is to relax my hair, but I don't personally know anyone who has done it before... Anyone here has tried it before? What do you all think about it? :)Anyway, guess who was back in KL last weekend wtf.Dragged the sisters to Ms. Read (or is it Delicious now?) 'cause I was craving for their food for some reason.Me: Ms. Read! Ms. Read! Ms. Read!Jing and Teeny: Can't we go Nirvana? Or mamak?Me: WTFF why so cheap!Jing and Teeny: We know you earning Sing Dollars now laa!Heee, I have to admit, earning in SGD has its perks. But heyyy, I even gave money to you girls ok! I am such a generous and kind-hearted sister. *touched by own actions WTF*Successfully dragged my sisters to Ms. Read, hurrah!(Which explains the forced grins on their faces, hahaha)With Jing. Wearing one of the vintage dresses I got from Lapsap last week!I couldn't help feeling like Flinstone with the white collar I had on WTF.Pretty rose blossom button earrings!My sister's, bought for RM2.90. When I heard of its price, I told her, good job good job.Haha, that's how we sister is like! We pride ourselves on getting the cheapest things, and we commend each other on our efforts each time! :P Like "Try harder" or "Keep it up", hahaha, we are thrifty cum smart shoppers k. :DFood, oh delicious food!I crave for good food SO SO MUCH at home-- food in S'pore is not anywhere comparable to M'sia. :(Oreo smoothie, for my lethal sweet tooth.I don't usually have a particular sweet tooth, but I do after missing desserts in S'pore! :PMy duck confit angel hair pasta.Jing's Ayam Percik rice (it has some fancy Malay name, but I suck with Malay nowadays, so, sorry! =/)And err, 'cause I forgot to take pictures of Teeny's spicy crab linguine, here's a representative WTF.Those are pinchers! *defensive*Chocolate Pavlova, which comes highly recommended by the sisters.And sticky date pudding, which comes highly recommended by me!! :)My first encounter with sticky date pudding is at the ski lodge during my ski trip in Melbourne, and it was love at first sight! Since then, I could never find this dessert... But now I have done so! :D And boy, it's GOOD. :)))Antique-looking belt is love!Pardon the pariah-way I tucked it in though, haih.Clambering onto the table top to catch a top-down picture of Teeny.But when it came to Jing, I refused to take such pictures of her, and insisted on taking from bottom-up. The reason? "EH YOUR REGROWTH DAMN UGLY" Hahahha poor thing she got opressed 'cause of bauty reasons wtf. The Hoe sisters maintain high standards on vanity WTF, hahaha.Ending with some outfit pictures. :)Teeny with her really cute dress! :)Jing, ala Alice in Wonderland.Carrying a Kate Spade woven picnic bag, I expected the boyfriend to have something to say about it (I saw him later during the day). Just like as expected, the moment he saw the bag, he went "Woww that is really...err... boxy..."HAIHHHH the boyfriend needs more training! :PIf you are wondering why I still blogged despite stating that it's the last thing I want to do, it's 'cause writing things down helps me put things into perspective. :)Updated: Just when I was feeling all miserable for myself, some high school friends started messaging me on MSN.. Turns out that there are quite a few of us working in S'pore!!! And we are meeting up this Friday!! I am feeling warm and quite excited now. :)))I guess it's true what they say; there is always a silver lining. :) Lapsap sale. Well, not really. More like Lapsap buys. -_-'Cause I didn't take ANY pictures at Palate Palette! I have been there a few times too many (not that I am complaining :P), and there's only so many times you can see the same pictures of the afro carousel horse and the hula hoops and whatnots right. If you feel compelled to revisit those past entries I have done on Lapsap, just click on the 'Revel in Events' tag! But knowing my luck, the pictures would probably have their bandwidth exceeded or something, HAIH.Had I met a lot of people there, I would probably have whipped out my camera to go clickety-click too, but unfortunately I was there too early! I reached Palate Palette practically when it just opened-- whereas most people would be there fashionably late. :( It's not 'cause I am kiasu ok! (fine, partly wtf) but 'cause I have other places to go to after that. This is what you get when you have less than 2 days at home-- you're just trying to rush rush rush. :(Okok, moving on the pictures pictures!Pardon the woozy eyes, I blame the sun!Oh ya, this is the vintage-inspired brocade skirt that I mentioned here! :)Teeny! I have been eyeing her MiuMiu-esque skirt for ages, and have been pestering Teeny to sell it to me. T_TEveryone, help me persuade her to give it to me! ;)The first picture is to enable a closer look at my skirt, and the 2nd picture is to lend a more intimate perspective on my.. collarbone, hahaha! It's a big thing ok, there was a few years in my life which I have lost my collarbone (puberty wtf). T_TMy skirt again! The color is actually darker in real life. Am excited about this skirt 'cause I took something that people would consider to be frumpy and outdated, and revamped it a bit! :)On the way home from Lapsap...Reckless on the road.Teeny: Ehhh the lighting here very nice! Faster! Let's take pictures together!Me: Errr, aren't you driving now?Teeny: Ya. But never mind, the lighting very niceeee!Me: *whips out camera*Hahahaahaha!And errr, the pictures below aren't actually Lapsap-related, but they were taken on the same day, haha.Went to Chawan in Bangsar with the boyfriend. :)Chawan is the latest eatery in Telawi Bangsar, and it's situated right opposite Bangsar Village 1 (same row as Nirvana). Apparently it has became quite the hotspot for night yumcha sessions! :)Chawan is good for their many types of coffees, from all the different states of M'sia!The boyfriend ordered a Tupai (translated to squirrel -_-) something, whereas mine is the Kopi Kemaman (from Terengganu, also one of their recommended coffees!)The menu comes with the extensive list of all the different coffees-- along with a comprehensive description, including its flavor/aroma and its origins.The boyfriend: Bee, actually I wanted to order the Hang Tuah kopi...Me: Oh, why didn't you? (*shaking head inwardly 'cause I thought Hang Tuah sounds more manly than a Kopi Tupai wtf)The boyfriend: 'Cause.. *points at the menu and reads out loud* The Kopi Hang Tuah is popular amongst the older generation.I scared you laugh at me. :(-____________-The boyfriend's Nasi Dagang with Gulai Ikan.Nasi dagang is basically glutinous rice mixed with brown rice-- definitely a healthy option! :) Until you start eating the really thick and creamy gulai ikan, haha. Thumbs up for the fish (resembling fish curry, but thicker)!My nasi Briyani.Since Melbourne, I have started on this quest on looking for the perfect Nasi Briyani in KL! (Surprisingly, Melbourne's ones are the best I have eaten so far =/) Oooh, maybe one day I should do an entry and pit all the good KL nasi briyani's against each other, haha.Alright, am done with the non-lapsap-related things, moving on to the happy buys of the day! :DKitschy kiddy envelope clutch!Brightly-colored, random, childish-- I couldn't say no! :PFierce mustard yellow patent pumps! It's not really obvious from the picture, but the back of the shoes is made of satin-- an interesting touch on the shoes! Brand new, and a steal at RM15! *proud face*I actually already have a pair of happy yellow wedge pumps-- but they're a little too happy for work! So I am going to save this pair for work-- the pointy toe screams RAWWRR POWER WOMAN. :PWhite dress with a ruffled tier skirt and studded details.This dress is actually self-designed by the buyer-- which means that there is only one of this around! :P Love the bronze studs at the bustier and straps, add on a little bad-add attitude to the pure, girlish demeanor. ;)Another creation by said buyer-- B & W checkered cape-jacket.I think I am going to have fun experimenting with this piece! :DZARA mandarin-collared sleeveless dress-shirt, for work.Newest additions into my vintage dresses:The yellow shade is not so bright in real life! Love the floral prints in the really soft pastel palette. :)))This dress actually hits mid-calf; I am still in a dilemma whether or not to alter it and make it super short, or leave it as it is! Any suggestions? :)And the back (or is it the front -_-) has this cute round white fabric buttons, reminds me of tong yuen, HAHA.Faded denim dress with white daisy embroideries and daisy appliques! So sweet! :)Love the start white collar against the floral background! :)Hot pink polka dotted dress with a full skirt. I love full skirts, 'cause you can go swish swish swish in them. :DEnglish Garden overalls! :)Eh, waitamin, upon closer look, why does the cut bear such close resemblance to our secondary school pinafores. -_-And this really really cute collar accessory! :))))My mom is playing dirty now. -_-This time when I went back, I found out that she has moved all my boxes and luggage bags of Melbourne clothings into my room!! (Previously they were kept in other areas of the house), so now my room is so tight and cramped and obviously very, very messy. :( I guess this is her way of getting me to clear out/tidy up my clothes; I have to admit, previously I was quite complacent, I mean, my clothes were happy being situated in the study room and my brother's room what! And I am getting quite stressed out, 'cause I don't really know how to get rid of some of my clothes-- I really don't have time to post up sales. I can't bear to just throw them away, that's for sure! :( I did toy with the idea of keeping a lookout for any junkyard sales to book a stall and get rid of my things for once and for all; but this is not really a feasible option, 'cause I myself am not too sure about my work schedule and when I can be back. =/ Looks like the only solution now is to move everything to S'pore. -__________- Olympics closing ceremony. When it comes to Olympics, the Hoe family does it the right way. ;)Teeny.Me.Jing.I am sorry if she scared you wtf.Mommy Hoe: "WAHHH what a worthwhile investment! We can use it for for every 4 years, for every olympic! We can pass it for generations and generations! WAHHH we can make it our family heirloom!!!"-______________-Drunken Daddy (induced so because of too much wine intake during his birthday dinner):"I loooook the beesssst..."Grandma Hoe!!She was tying up some rubbish bags, so Jing and I joined forces-- I called out to her to distract grandma, then Jing promptly perched on the glasses on her face, followed by me quickly going "click!" on my camera. Grandma was in a total blur, hahahaha! Isn't she the cutest thing ever!!Sorry for the mini disappearing stint, yes, I was home again! :DProper update coming up soon, I promise! Magic tricks. Hello, everyone!Today, I am going to perform some magic. :)Well, well, let me just rewind a little and update you guys. ;)See, what happened is was, last week I got my pay.My first paycheck ever.Ladies and gentlemen, this is when the magic comes into place!I assure you, the paycheck looks much more... presentable in real life, hahaha.And let's see what it has transformed into!*POOOOOOF*Work clothes up first!The stripes are a very dark peach, almost brown, and shimmery!I am trying to add on more varied pieces into my work wardrobe. I am bored with work clothes. :(Knitted vest with a little skirt and pockets, this would look cute in layering with slacks! :)Gray chiffon and lace blouse.For days when I want to feel less like a power woman, and get more in tune with me soft, feminine side wtf.I know it looks like shit against the gray bedsheets, but it's really quite nice. T_TOk, done with work clothes! Let's move on to the more fun things. :PA corset tube top with an ehnic feel-- the fabric reminds of me the kebaya kains? :)And the best part is, it gives me quite a mighty cleavage when worn, hoho.Indulging in my childhood! All of you know Peter Rabbit right! And Brer Rabbit from Enid Blyton, haha.I love this necklace, it just has this childish charm written all over it. :)))If anyone even dares to suggest 'Playboy' when they see me wear this, I swear I will whack them up. -_-A vintage-inspired navy velvet brocade skirt with a gold embroidered band, which I wore to Lapsap in Palate Palette on Sunday. Only a teaser picture here wtf.And stop looking at my boob and concentrate on the little bit of the skirt that you can see!Heeheehee, top with carousel horses! This top is horribly me: whimsical, random, and superbly kiddish, haha!The lovely owner of Tea & Sympathy purposely remade this top for me. *big teary eyes*Denim high-waisted paperbag skirt.You can't really see the paperbag ruchings of the skirt here, but oh well, nevermind, keep a lookout for it when I wear it! :PMoving on to my happy buys of shoes!Happy heels number 1!The colors are way way more vibrant in real life-- a bright lively orange and brown.I love how kitschy they look, and it also has this retro feel to it! :)I hate to admit it, but sometimes I do feel bored of the gladiator sandals trend... Which is why we need more unique, pretty sandals! ;PThe sandals are a deep red, the design very nice right. :)))Happy shoes number 3!Whenever I see these shoes, I think of "Blue Cheese", which is super apt! 'Cause it's electric blue patent, with the funky holey cream yellow front, haha. Okok, I shall stop being so cheesy, no pun intended, HAHA.There are actually more things which I bought from the Lapsap sale, but I shall put them in a separate Lapsap entry!But I shan't leave out the creme de la creme of my buys. ;)A little reward myself, and also something to commemorate my first ever real paycheck...:)Hello, lover.Finally got myself a pair of Chanel sunnies, after talking about it since last year!I am really sorry that the pictures sucked, I was in a rush when I was taking these pictures.More pictures next time when I wear them out aight! :PBut it's really kind of sad, 'cause this is actually not the pair of sunnies I have been coveting from a long time ago! :( For almost 1 year I was going back and forth, deciding whether or not to get it, but I never did. The thought of forking out such a huge amount of money for 2 tinted lenses made me heavy-hearted wtf. Not to mention my track record with sunglasses/spectacles made me think twice (leaving them behind, breaking them etc.. -_-). In fact, about 3 weeks ago I was in Chanel Singapore lovingly poring over my dream sunnies, but I still couldn't bring myself to pay for it then and there. "I will use my first pay", I told myself, and walked out of the shop.Well, guess what. It is sold out already! T___T Both in Chanel Singapore and KL, and they are not bringing in any more stocks of that particular pair!!! In the end, I had to choose another one. This teaches me a valuable lesson-- sometimes there is no good in being too cautious in your purchases, look at where it lead me! Being an impulsive shopper has its merits ok. :(And sigh, it's such a pity that when it comes to sunnies, the design don't really matter, because most importantly, the sunglasses shape has to fit you. 'Cause if it was up to me, I would have bought the sunnies with the trademark Chanel quilting at its side! But they make me look like retarded beetlebugs, haihhh.Oh ya!This skirt I was wearing here was also part of my payday-splurging-scheme. :PStriped high-waisted front, and a doodled floral full skirt!Wearing happy peach pink retro wedges here. :)))My beloved sisters:Jing, and her trademark Velvet-Ribbon pose, haha.Don't mess with the Hoe sisters, or a fat lip you will get! :PPretty bangle-- beaded and fully embroidered, it reminds me of fairies somehow! :PAnd please don't get distracted by the hair on my arm. T___TMy weekend back home started on such a wrong foot, it was almost a recipe for disaster.A fight with the boyfriend almost as soon as I reached home.Getting stuck in a jam for 2 and 1/2 hours with the sisters in KL. We all haven't had anything to eat at all for the day, and we were hungry and frustrated, but there was nowhere we could go. was almost in tears thinking of the time I was wasting! :(Because of the huge delay in the jam, I had to cancel out on dinner with the family-- I made an appointment with the whole family 'cause I wanted to treat them to a nice dinner with my first paycheck. I felt so bad. :(But I guess all things have a way of working out for the best. :)Though the jam was so so bad that I thought I would be in a foul mood forever, the laughs and excited chatter the sisters and I kept up during our lunch/dinner more than made up for it.I've made plans with the family to bring them out next Sunday, and nothing is going to stop me this time! It's daddy Hoe's birthday. :)My Sunday was surprisingly quiet, besides Lapsap, I spent the entire afternoon and evening napping with the boyfriend and watching The Simpsons together. The movie was released when I was still in Melbourne, and we made a pact to watch it together when I get back. 1 year later, we finally managed to catch up on this date of ours. :) His room is always awfully cold, so I bundled myself up in a freshly-laundered long-sleeved shirt of his, with his Homer Simpson T-shirt underneath. Add that to tight cuddles, and I would say the date went pretty well. ;)I gave some money to my grandparents when I was back. When my grandma saw the bundle of notes in my hands, I thought she almost cried. She told me to keep the money to myself to "buy something to eat", but in the end, I managed to persuade her to take the money. I was all choked up then. The moment just felt incredibly personal and... raw.But I wouldn't give it up for anything. :)Oh wow, guess what! It's the 20th again!Pay day for August (month 2) has arrived, oops. HAHA!ps: This entry was actually completed last night, but I couldn't publish it 'cause of the wonky internet connection, rawrr! Kamikaze/ Food spurt. I think I am a superhero wan. -_-I reached S'pore at 5am yesterday. I slept for 1 hour, and went to work.The things I do to stay home just a little longer.It's amazing that I am still standing after a long day of work.But not for long! I really need some sleep, I can feel my brain shutting down.***************************************Home was good. :)Though it was only 2 weeks since I have been back, there are all these little subtle changes at home.The new Saga at home; bloody car has finally arrived. I find it quite funny actually, 'cause sometimes my sisters and I act snobby and swear that we will never drive Sagas, and look at what car my dad got Teeny, hahaha. But it really is kind of ridiculous, 'cause the whole point of getting a cheaper car for Teeny is 'cause she will be going to Melbourne next year, hence the car will only be used for this year. But of course, due to Proton's inefficiency, we only got the car half a year after we bought it. -_- And now Teeny is going to drive the car for about 3 months before her uni semester is over, and then the car will be idle (everyone else at home already has a car), HAIH.My room, which has turned into a mini warehouse for Jing's baby-- Velvet Ribbon and Teeny's friend's shopping site. -______-My brother's voice has gotten deeper again. Did that boy swallow a lion or what??Teeny's new hair color. And let's not forget Jing's regrowth wtf. I am going to force that woman to go do our hair together soon!*************************************************An 1-hour nap is too short! T_TI am too lazy/tired to upload pictures from my weekend, so I am going to take the easy way out, and post up some backlogged pictures that I uploaded last week to blog but didn't get to it, 'cause I was too busy replacing all my bandwidth exceeded pictures, rawr.I thought to name these batch of pictures "Food Spurts", 'cause well, if you frequent my blog enough, you'd know that I am mad over food. ;) I get very happy when people read my food entries, and visit those places/consult me based on my recommendations! And also, I get a sense of thrill whenever I check my site referrals and I find that people linked to my blog 'cause they googled a restaurant or a certain type of food. I feel like I am doing my part for spreading the love for food, hee. Anyway, I understand that droning food entries might be boring at times, so I am going to save the food reviews for new/worthwhile restaurants, and what you will see sometimes are sporadic short entries of random food that I have eaten (and what I wore, hahaha), hence the term "Food spurts". :P(Pictures are from my pre-work era wtf)The poor boyfriend who layan-ed me after work every evening to bring me out for dinners and such.Back then, I didn't fully appreciate just how much effort when into a simple action like that; but now that I have started work, I understand that some days after work, you're so tired you just want to crawl into bed and not come out. But yet he accompanied me almost every night, entertaining to all my whims and needs. *teary*We went to Vietnam Kitchen!Where I had a drink with matched the color of my dress WTF.This is called the tri-colored...err, drink, haha. A Vietnamese special, it's made of cendol, red bean and mung bean (i.e. green bean).Spring rolls! I love Vietnamese spring rolls-- the only problem is that I usually feel like eating 20 at one go. -_-Seafood noodles.Which is making me a little queasy in the stomach now, 'cause I have noodles almost everyday for lunch. -_- Haihh, but I am talking crap la, come 12pm tomorrow, I will be thumping on my table (and stomach wtf), yelling "LUNCH TIME!" at the top of my lungs and march off to the nearest food court for yet another bowl of noodles. -_-The boyfriend's Vietnamese fried rice... which didn't taste very Vietnamese at all, haha.I only took this picture to pacify him 'cause he gets emo when I only take pictures of my food. -_-Outfit for the night. :)I love love love the clutch I was carrying! It is really roomy, I can even fit my waterbottle in there, and no one knows the better! :PThings that make up the outfit that is the color of cendol wtf.And the pretty back of my dress! :)Pay attention to the pretty, erm carlights in the background too, haha.*********************************************From Vietnamese to Chinese wtf. Dragon-i was on the menu. :DThe tube I was wearing actually has this long drape flowing down the front all the way from the bustier, but it doesn't really show in the pictures. :(And wow, my waist looks so small in the first picture! *big shiny eyes* Is this a sign that I should wear black more often. -__-Btw, if you haven't realized it yet, black is one of my least favorite color. I am not one to be a wallflower WTF. Haha, no la, maybe 'cause black doesn't really go with my personality or something, but I am more of a bright happy clappy colors type of person. :PDragon-i in Sunway Pyramid! Which was really nicely decorated, I feel.And I am sorry that I am so jakun, I think probably half of the people in PJ have tried Dragon-i before, but it was only my first time!Me likes Dragon-i in Pyramid, because it has ceiling-to-floor windows overlooking Sunway Lagoon! Kind of lends a nice, romantic, candlelit dinner effect. :DAnd also provide great inspirations for dreamy, gaze-into-the-future poses apparently, haha.Moving on to the food:Sea coconut and longan drink, very yummy.Siew loong pau, one of the recommended dishes! :)My la mian, signature noodle dish, and also a trademark Szechuan specialty if I am not mistaken.Comes with fried pork chops, le sigh.And the boyfriend's la mian, with braised pork ribs. Thumbs up for this too!I don't know, quite a few people who have been to Dragon-i came back with mediocre to bad reviews about the place, but I pretty much enjoyed my experience there! Food was good, and I really liked the ambience (and the view) of the place... Definitely a place I will go back to. :)My crescent-shaped floral print clutch. Place there to subtly hide my satisfied bulging tummy. :PAnd me loves the big-ass vintage ring that I added into my collection recently! Though I get a lot of exclamations whenever I wear it. -_-Looking through all these pictures, I can't help but think about all that I am missing out on.Before I left for Singapore, occasionally the boyfriend will throw me a pout and tell me "But I won't be able to see you in your working clothes!" or "We can't have dinner together after work!", and I will just wave him off dismissively.But nowadays, when I stride in the underpass tunnels, the corridors of shopping malls, or even just walking across the street, I see young working couples everywhere, hand-in-hand, a familiar face for each other after a grueling day of work.Isn't it sad, that this is a new chapter of my life, and I can't do it together with you. I can't tighten the knot on your tie before you go off to work, or give each other goodbye kisses every morning before heading off to the daily grind. I don't have lunches with you to look forward to at work, I don't have a pair of arms to run into when I step out of the office.On nights like this, I can't help but think about all that I am missing out on. - *edited*ARGHHHHHH. I hate it I hate it!No kidding this time, I really am going to go pro.Pro for my Photobucket account that is, haha. It's so annoying to have ugly 'Bandwidth Exceeded' pictures plastered all over my blog every 2 days! GRRRR. I am seriously going to have to talk to my dad about 'borrowing' his credit card for the upgrade. I don't have a credit card of my own! Neither do I plan to apply for one in the near future. One being, I don't think I trust myself with a credit card yet. I mean, the novelty of earning my own money and having the freedom to spend it however I want to is still present, so let me find the balance between indulging in my hard-earned money and saving it up first. :) Secondly (and the most important reason wtf), I don't even meet the annual income requirement to apply for a credit card. -______________- This is too depressing, starting at the bottom of the rat race, sigh!**********************************I was going to do up a minimal text, photo-intensive post, 'cause I was all tired from rectifying the pictures' problem. But something cropped up. I am now not in the mood for anything, not even life.*updated*PFFFFTTT I wasted about 1 hour trying to use Flickr to upload pictures, bloody site, it's so unuser-friendly! 'Cause I met Audrey online (she always has the same 'Bandwidth exceeded' problem as well), and we starting sharing solutions. I think we just post too many pictures la, HAIHH.Anyway, I gave up on Flickr, am using Photobucket again. If any of you know how to use Flickr, kindly dish out some tips to me k! 'Cause I just find it really, really tedious. :(I think the only plausible way to get about with this problem is to post less, less, less pictures. Sigh.But before that, let me entertain you all with some GNO pictures. *stubborn wtf*Pictures from last month, our last GNO together.Our gorgeous outfit pictures!I think there is something about dusk and rain. :)Jing. Pinstripe 50's poster girl.Teeny, vintage lovechild.Me, your neighbourhood flamenco girl. :PWe went to Victoria Station, because firstly, we remembered that the place is quite cheap. *hangs head low guiltily* In our defense, we were really broke! :(And secondly, the restaurant carries a lot of childhood memories for us-- when we were young, my parents used to bring us there relatively often. :) However, I think we haven't been back since about 8 years ago!We were there quite early, hence the really empty restaurant.It was quite eerie, that is, until the dinner crowd started pouring in and we had strangers puffing clouds of smoke into our faces. Grr.Jing, jubilant over her RM3.80 milkshake.I mean, seriously, I think even mamaks and kopitiams priced their milkshakes more than that! :PTeeny's sour face while she perused through the menu.You might remember that some time back, Teeny went on an extrement protein diet. Well, this was the first day of that diet! And a strict diet it was-- no carbs or sugars of any type. No wonder she looked so grumpy!My food:Shark's fin soup.I know, a pretty strange starter for a Western meal right? :) But this soup brings back memories; my mom always ordered for us to share when we were young. :) When I was a kid, shark's fin was something rare and precious (like a gemstone wtf) to me, so I always felt very spoiled when I got to have it! :PPotato skin, I honestly this is one of world's greatest creation!Unfortunately, more often than not, they are ghastly overpriced, and I just can't justify forking out RM10 for 2 pieces of tuber skin WTF.My deep fried stuffed chicken.Tasted average, but I can't resist pointing out how much it looks like those fried garoupa fish they serve in Chinese restaurants! :PTeeny zen-ing while Jing and I munched our way through warm buns and french fries, hahaha.I have just dyed my hair then, look at how dark it was! It is almost gold now. :(I have to purposely make a trip down to KL soon to do up my hair! Can't. Stand. The. Way. It. Looks. Now.With Teeny during happier times (i.e. before we ate carbohydrates in front of her) wtf.... compare it with...Teeny who has given up on life, HAHAHA!Haih, this entry should have been named 'the many faces of Teeny' wtf.I hate camwhoring while I am wearing headpieces... Looking as if you planted a flower in between 2 heads is not a flattering look. -_-Why hello, guess who got her first pay? ;)Seeing my bank balance flashed before me, almost made working worth it. Almost.I have worked hard for this, I think a little self-gratification is in need! :PHmm, I have started on my shopping frenzy already, I foresee more shopping adventures to come when I am back home this weekend. :D If everything goes well, I am going to do up a shopping post, as I am actually pretty excited about the things that I have gotten so far! :)And oooh, Lapsap sale this Sunday! Haihhh, it's getting increasingly hard to explain to people that I DO NOT choose dates which have bazaars to come back. -_______- But erm, see you all there! :PAnd oops, I found out that my ATM card can be used as a debit card as well! UH OH.Let's hope it doesn't break like the last one. -_________- Room talk. Besides the cuts on my face, I now have a huge pimple on my cheek. My face is ruined, ruined, I am telling you! :( And the worst thing is, it hurts. You know how there are different 'grades' of pimples? Like a mini-spot (which you can whine, but in actual fact you know that it is nothing a little dab of concealer wouldn't do), then there are the angry red ones, the white-pus ones, and then there are the ones which really, really hurt. This one hurts everytime I talk or smile! :(It's placed right on top of cheekbone.God, when I asked for higher cheekbones, this wasn't what I had in mind. -_-Last week's work outfits, because some people seemed to like them so much, haha. I get emails asking me to sell my work outfits! Why oh why. T_TNo Monday work outfit, 'cause thanks to the mighty forces up there, I was on MC! *kisses floor*Didn't put much effort into my outfit 'cause I was suffering from Tuesday blues wtf. It's really tough to bring myself to go to work after having Monday off! :(Matching green bejeweled pendant. :)I knotted a scarf around neck (and ended up feeling suffocated during the day wtf), going for an aristocrat look! :PHaihhhh, but my colleagues said I looked like an air stewardess. -__-The whole day they were asking me, "Where is my orange juice!" -___-Wearing a Vanessa Bruno dusk turquoise top which I thrifted! Tell me I am good. :PIt really is a pretty top, I couldn't really capture the details, but the the front and back and belt are quilted. :)Casual Friday!And if you have known how much this dress cost, you would be green with envy. :PIt comes with a bow on the front, not sure whether you all can see it. :)And please let me indulge in a moment of narcissism here, I looked so pretty here! T__T *touches my scarred face with bitterness wtf*And I have something to add: in all my work outfit pictures, it appears that my face is very fair, but my body is very dark. Basically, the lighting in my cousin's room is very, very bad. Where the mirror is, there is a small panel of a window on top of it, which is why my face is always cast with light, whereas my body would be hidden in shadows. It's not 'cause I made myself up like an ah kua ok. T_TOhhh, I went to Ikea yesterday-- to scout out furniture for my room! :) Am I weird because I felt the happiest in the children's section. I was literally smiling ear-to-ear! -_- Their furniture are just SO CUTE! I was so tempted to climb into the children beds (seriously, their designs are very innovative *defensive*), 'cause I was thinking I might just be able to fit considering how short I am. T_T But the kids were throwing me territorial looks and I got nervous after lurking in the shadows for too long WTF.By gosh, I am so super stressed now, furnishing my room is going to cost a bomb! Not 'cause I am planning to buy super expensive furniture whatsoever, but just imagine having to get a bed, mattress, study table, chair, wardrobe etc. And this would be coming out of my own paycheck, it just doesn't feel right to take money from my parents. :( Although, if they want to sponsor me a mattress, I wouldn't mind wtf. 'Cause with my budget, I can only get a cheapo mattress. With the risk of sounding spoiled, my dad has always insisted on getting good quality mattresses, because we spend 1/3 of our lives on it! But I guess I will have to make do with a lumpy foam mattress. :(At one of the showrooms in Ikea-- got bored of getting inspirations (and looking for cheap beds wtf).I was wearing a red bow in my hair, but in this picture, it looked as if I drew it myself with Paint. -___-Trying to take a picture of my top/dress-- it is actually very pretty, the bib is made of chiffon. :)))I felt pretty sad browsing around in Ikea. The last time I was in Ikea with a purpose was when the Flat Hair Flat moved into the flat. :((( I was walking around, and I actually recognize bits and pieces of our home then... The colorful kiddy pictures we hung in the kitchen, the funky paper drawer in my old room, the pink mat of Jac's, the red flower that we always play with while having our girlie talks in the living room. Was it really 1 and 1/2 years ago that we built a home? And now, I am trying to build another life.Sigh.Enough with the emo talk, let's get back to... the life I am building. :)After my purposeful Ikea trip that day, I pretty much have a good idea of what I want for my room. I am thinking of all white furniture, with colorful accents here and there. Very me, I think. :) Well, to be honest, I was actually thinking of all white with pink and red tones, but I think the boyfriend's manly side will be stifled when he stays over, haha.But I have a huge huge dilemma! Should I get a queen-sized bed or a single-sized one? A single bed is actually sufficient for me, since I pretty much sleep like a corpse wtf. But as the boyfriend will come down sometimes to visit me.. and the sisters have also made plans to come for shopping trips, having a queen bed would be good! I mean, if I get a single bed, and when the boyfriend comes over, he has to sleep on the floor, that would make a very sad picture right. :( But getting a queen bed would be much more expensive (for the bedframe), not to mention that the mattress would cost more as well. And there would be space constraints as well. I know just the single and queen bed that I want, it's just a matter of choosing which one.And what about wardrobe!Haha, wait let me relay my MSN conversation with Jac:Me: Howwww queen sized bed or single bed!Jac: Just get single, at the rate you are going home so often now, your bf won't have a chance to go to s'pore also. Use the space and get a bigger wardrobeMe: But he will be coming in the future! Need to think long term right :(Jac: Think long term. Exactly! That is why get bigger wardrobeHAHAHAHAHHAHA.Okies, back to wardrobe. Omggg, I have no idea wardrobes are so expensive, a 4-door one would easily set me back about SGD800!!! -__- And when I imagined my room's layout before heading to Ikea, I always thought a 2-door closet would suffice. But omg, I didn't know a 2-door wardrobe is so small!!! I have never had a 2-door wardrobe in my life, the one in my room is a 4-door unit, and even then my clothes are all over the house because I don't have enough space. My mom's wardrobe unit is an 8-doors one, and she shares the same fate with me-- she puts her clothes in our study room (another 4-d00r wardrobe there -_-). 2-door wardrobes look so claustrophobic. :((( I am thinking of either a 3-door or a 4-door now, depending on space (and monetary wtf) limitations. Worse come to worst, I will just leave most my clothes back home in KL, and every time I have worn something, I will bring it back to KL to keep. -__-HAIYAAA DAMN STRESSSS what to doooo. But quite exciting too. Though I have to remind myself not to get too acquainted with my room, 'cause after all, S'pore is not really a long term stint. :(Oh ya, will you all judge me if I buy a miniature kid's rocking horse and put it in my room! It will look really cute. :P Haih, only me. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.Today is S'pore's National Day, and the agenda for the night was fireworks!! Do you know how much I love fireworks!! I tear whenever I see them. T_TAnd not just fireworks, we made plans to see fireworks on a yacht!(Jiren's friend has a yatch. Why are some people so rich. T_T)But we also made plans to eat crab noodles. And we got held up at dinner (food took too long to serve wtf), so we missed the fireworks show. T____TI ended up watched fireworks on TV while sucking on crab claws. T___TAt least the crab was peeled for me, haha, I am so spoiled! Usually I don't take crabs if I don't have the boyfriend with me-- he's usually the one who will painstakingly, lovingly de-shell my crabs and prawns for me. :))) Sometimes my mom and dad might do it for me, if they are in a good mood wtf. It's not that I am such a princess that I need people to serve food right up to my mouth, but I honestly SUCK at peeling crabs. When I knock the hammer on my crab to break the shell, I will mis-knock, and the crab will fly to another table-- true story. T___T*******************************Ok, let's go to a recent update about my life-- my face is currently SCARRED. T___TSigh, I don't know why am I always sharing my embarrassing tales with people, but here goes wtf. Yesterday morning at work, I went to my locker to retrieve my laptop... And in true blue klutzy hui-wen fashion, somehow when I closed the locker door, it bounced back out just as I was straightening up; the metal locker door hit the middle of my face really, really hard. The next thing I know, there were 2 scratches down my face, and they were bleeding. T_____TSo as of now, I have a scratch about 1 inch long down my forehead, and another one on my nose bridge right between my eyes. I can cover the forehead one with my bangs, but the cut on my nose is pretty glaring. And I can't stop looking at it from the corner of my eyes (crossed-eye wtf).How to go out like this. T______TAnd all my friends/colleagues are so bad! When I show them my cuts, the first that two of them said nonchalantly was: "Did you walk into a pole?" What is this, do I look that careless! And three of them asked me why am I so cartoon, 'cause this type of things only happen in cartoons. -__- And an uncountable amount just laughed and laughed. T__TOnly the boyfriend is supportive and caring. When I told him about the cuts, he told me "Poor baby! For someone as vain as you, this must be the worst thing that can happen". He knows me so well, haha.Haihhh, this type of things can only happen to me. Haih, only me.Backlogged pictures from Jac's visit in S'pore! Back to a time when I didn't look like I was an extra in a war movie. T_TSmalls, Jac, me, Erin.We were planning to go to Sentosa for some beach sun boys (for the single girls only *shifty eyes*), hence the beach babes outfits and the peek-a-boo bikinis! :) Actually, I was quite emo, 'cause I purposely dressed down, 'cause I thought we would be going to Sentosa straightaway and thus would be stripping down to our bathing suits. But instead, we decided to browse in the shopping mall and leave the beach for the evening! So I spent most part of my day feeling frumpy. I hate that feeling. :(I only brought one pair of bikini to S'pore, and for reasons beyond me, I brought along the size 14 one. -________-We went to Marche! I have heard a lot about Marche Singapore, how it is so much better than the one in M'sia (Curve), so I was excited! :)Colorful bikinis are love (especially if they are not size 14 *bitter*)And omg, my hair looked so blond. =/I looked really really tired here, 'cause I was sick. More on that later.And that is the Marche 'passport' I was holding! For people who are unfamiliar with Marche's runnings, basically, the restaurant has a 'market' concept. In M'sia, you are presented with a sheet of paper called the 'passport', and at every stall that you order form, a chop will be stamped on it. At the end of the meal, you will tabulate the expenses based on your passport; a fine of RM200 will be imposed if you lose your passport. =/ But Marche Singapore has swipe cards as passports! :)In front of one of the 'stalls' with Erin and Jac. Don't ask me why we were wearing such sombre colors!I love this picture, it really has this market charm. :PI wasn't kidding when I said I am a very big eater. T_TThe amount of food that Jac and I ordered for ourselves. I admit, we got carried away wtf.Pork knuckles, seafood pasta, stewed mushrooms, salmon chowder, fried calamari rings. And you compare it to Smalls' sausage at the far left of the picture. -_- Haih, why are we so greedy!Jiren, Erin and me and assorted balloons!Do you see the 'cow' peeking through the 'window' hahahahahha.Halfway browsing through the stalls to decide what to order, I got distracted by this array of colorful balloons! I went up to the balloon stand and shamelessly asked the nearest waitress "Are these for children only!". Thank god she said I was free to take one! 'Cause even if she had told me that it is for children only, I would have taken it by force. :PGirls with Marche cow! Sunbathed Jac, Erin, Smalls, me and my surgically-attached balloon. :PThe sad story is... I was actually sick for most part of the day, and in the end, I couldn't take it any longer and decided to take a raincheck on Sentosa to go home and rest. :((( So I have no happy bikini pictures with the girls. :((( The only thing I have is this picture in Facebook where Jac tagged me as her mobile phone, 'cause she was texting me when the picture was taken. T___TI went home to rest so that I could be energized for Ministry of Sound on the same night! :P Clubbing pictures will be posted another time, 'cause there are so many of them. =/Jac and Small's last day in S'pore. T___TIn fact, Smalls left very early in the morning, we bade goodbyes in tight hugs and bleary eyes. :(Brunch at Copanhagen, which is really famous for their English tea menu. :)Pretty Jac and Erin. :)))Pretty Jac and Emo Jiren, HAHHAH.I am going to compile a collection of emo pictures of Jiren!! :PMey and I.You know how there are good hair days and good face days? I think there is such thing as good skintone day as well! How else could you explain why I looked so fair. :)))Jiren, resident pimp. Haih, you have to see our clubbing picture to understand la.Jac's last text message to me before the plane took off:"I got lost in Chloe on the way to my gate. But then right Burberry caught my attention then I almost forgot about boarding..."Hahaha, my friends are such bimbos! :DThe extremely delicious food:My iced coffee. Look at the adorable mini jugs which held the sugar and milk! :)Jac and Jiren with their pots of tea. They are in their twenties going on to 85, I swear!Dory fillet sandwich-- the fish came in 2 servings, one deep fried one and another one in cream sauce. And there was the lightly boiled shrimps, hard-boiled egg... This was really scrumptious!Because the rounded knife amused me so.Everyone, meet Selfish pasta! Haha, ya, the pasta is really named as such.Jiren and I were supposed to share the sandwich and the pasta together, though I did joke to him while we were ordering "It's called Selfish pasta! Are you sure you want to share?" to which he shook his head and reassured me that of course he will share.The moment the plate of pasta was placed in front of him, he held up his fork and spoon and went "Oh my god, this looks damn good wei, I am not sharing anymore!" -__________- This pasta got spell cast on it is it! Really make people selfish. -__________-Yummy scone! I really miss the one in Mt. Dandenong, Melbourne though. :(Taking embarrassing pictures outside of designer shops. :PJiren was damn mean! We were making a ruckus whereever we went, so whenever we leave a designer outlet, he will apologise to the sales assistant: "On behalf of my girl friends, I apologise for their behavior" wtf. -______-Shoe-shopping! Hahaha, trust Jac that though we were running late for the airport, she still wanted to do some shopping first. :PThat reminds me, Steve Madden blood red CFM satin pumps, to get or not to get! :DStarry print and rocking horse pendant, can you tell that I never want to grow up wtf.I like this picture, 'cause there are so many pairs of legs here! :PSexy legs on the left belongs to Abby, and the 1 meter long one on the right belongs to Mey. First time wearing my new Nine West shoes-- I have decided that Nine West kicks Aldo shoes in terms of comfort!And that marks the end of my fabulous fabulous weekend with the flat hair flat. Of course, more clubbing pictures coming up soon! But going over this set of pictures really made me feel so nolstagic. :( Though it was barely 2 weeks ago that we were all together, strangely enough, it already feels so long ago, like it was a happy memory etched in another lifetime. :(((Girlssss come to Singapore more ok?Then you will make me a very very happy girl. :))) Lost and found. Let's kick off with visuals from my past weekend wtf.The glory of PINKNESS.Antique pink earrings, pink curtain dress (T_T), and erm, pink cheeks!Can you imagine it, I changed into this outfit right after Bijou Bazaar-- in fact, I brought this outfit change in a paperbag to the bazaar and left it at Teeny's stall! That's how vain I am. Why waste any opportunities to dress up wtf.Jing's bestie, Joshua, asked me: "Whatever do you need an outfit change for?"Me: 'Cause I am meeting my boyfriend later, I must change to something demure and romantic! *feigns shy smile*Actually it's 'cause the boyfriend cannot accept high waisted jeans yet WTF.I am serious! When Jing wears her high waisted skirt, her boyfriend asked her why is she so nerd wear her skirt so high. -_____________-Outfit.My sisters call this my curtain dress. T___T Or when they are in a good mood, they call it the PJ dress. T___TWHYYYY it is a pretty dress whatttt. T___TAnd my crazy sister. Who just came back after closing down her stall at Bijou Bazaar.I think the sun evaporated her brains a bit, haha.The next batch of picture are from Sunday, where we caught The Dark Knight! Heath Ledger is SOOOO GOOOOD as the Joker, it blows my mind! So sad that this is the last we can see from him. :(At a Taiwanese restaurant in Gardens (I forgot the name, it's Chui something; but it's right next to the escalators leading up to GSC Signature cinema):Only one picture of the place-- it is always always packed, for some reason.My well-trained boyfriend!!! Who ordered a pink drink to match his pink shirt. :))))Ok, fine, he didn't, but I could hope that it's the reason why he ordered the yummy watermelon milk. :POur food!Lazy to describe the food la. But it was decent, but pricey though (about RM20 for a set meal excluding drinks). I think it was about RM70 for the both of us!Worth a visit you like to try out new restaurants like I do. :P But if you're stingy like how I am too wtf, go to Shihlin for their Taiwanese snacks! Mmmmm to their oyster mee sua and XXL chicken chop. I am known to sneak in the chicken chop as a snack for movies! :DI wore different sides of earrings. This is what happens when you rush me! And 'cause I am funky like that la. :P:)I wore green to watch Shrek, I put a flower in my head for Sex and the City, so of course I went all black for The Dark Knight. :PAnd is it only me, but during the movie, everytime I see Batman's silhouette against the night skies and I see its ears pointing upright, I feel a crazy urge to laugh. -__-Anyway, to the topic on hand: aaah, what I have lost, and found recently. :)Lost:I have lost a bit of weight for the past few weeks, and though the rvelation was joyous at first, I realized that along the way, I have lost something else too-- my boobs. T__THOWWWWW to be thin and flat; or to be fat but boobsy! Why is life so tough wtf. What will you all pick? :PFound:- This is all pretty exciting... I have found a place to move to! Yes, people, I am movinggggg! 'Cause my stay at my aunt's place now is only supposed to be temporary, as my cousin (whose room I am living in now) will be back from Dubai in September. I will be moving to another cousin's place, and trust me, this is much much much welcomed. I have been scouting around for a room for the past month or so, and really, the rooms are horrible, and the idea of staying with landlords are just eeky-- I have had seen more than my share of dodgy rooms and landlords. And HDB flats are just the most depressing things ever. :(I went to see my cousin's place last week, and it's pretty decent-- new and renovated. :) And I quite like my room, it's spacious! And it does not come with any furniture. The bad thing is, it is going to cost a bit for me to furnish the room. The good thing is, I can decorate it the way I want to! :) My aunt and cousin kept on advising me to just buy cheap furniture and get it over with, but NOOOO, I can't imagine staying in an ugly room, I will be so down. :( I will be going over to Ikea this weekend to see what I want to buy, so exciting! :D How should I decorate my room ar!And in case you're wondering how the room I am staying in currently looks like:The picture is small 'cause I got it off one of the old pictures archive.Just add tons and tons of clothes strewn around and shopping bags all over, and you pretty much get the current state of the room. :PMy cousin sister who is working in Dubai now is an architect, which explains the gorgeous room! The wardrobe is awesome too, it's covered with this stunning Thai silk curtains. :)That reminds me, wardrobe! I need to buy a huge huge closet for my room. :D- I found out that the boyfriend told his friend, who happens to be my colleague AND mentor in my department, to bully me more to 'toughen me up'.OH REALLY, MISTER.I will show you what is tough, RAWRRRR!- I also found out that my senior thinks that I am bubbly, chirpy, friendly, hyperactive, lively etc. Then he proceeded to recruit me as one of the committee members for the Recreation Club for the department. He said they need more people like me. -______-- I found out that my dad got the credit card bill (expenses accumulated from before I started work/first month of work), and he is not happy. Oh shit. Just when I plan to go home for the next 2 weekends!! Should I cancel my plans. =/- After being busy with work for the whole day, I moved back to my computer and was greeted with the MSN message window of the boyfriend who was trying to IM me. I saw his MSN display picture, wham! my heart was flooded with love and I broke into a tiny smile. I found out, that I love my boyfriend, a lot a lot a lot. :) Bijou Bazaar. This entry was written on an idle Monday.Idle because I was sick. And in worklife, sick = MC! Which really, is the most glorious thing in the world. :PIf anyone asked, I was homesick wtf. *shifty eyes*This's all going to be about Bijou Bazaar! :)Oh ya, that reminds me, the last time I was back home 2 weeks ago, Bijou Bazaar was held in Strudels. When I told Smalls that I was to go home the weekend which just past, and Bijou Bazaar was on as well, she asked me whether I purposely arranged my trips so that I could attend these fashion bazaars. I didn't ok! T__TIn the car:I am the perfect epitome of how age isn't a barrier to acting cute. -_-And my bad for wearing a flowy chiffon lace camisole tucked into my high-waisted jeans-- it makes me looked like I have a tummy! T_TI do have a tummy, but that's another issue wtf.Nice or not the little bows in my hair! :)))I was channeling a vintage Alannah Hill vibe that day, hee.We actually dropped by at this clearance sale in Bangsar Village before heading to Bijou Bazaar. The clearance sale SUCKED. SUCKED BALLS. SUCKED MY BALLS, if I had any, that is. There were brands like Reiss, Principle, Topshop/DP/Ms. Selfridge, Karen Millen etc, but the clothes were ugly and expensive! They basically just took things that they couldn't sell off in the sales, and plop it there with the same price tags. BOOO. Wasted my morning, I could have slept in more! :(Anyway, the real reason why we wanted to make it to Bijou Bazaar is 'cause beloved Teeny had a stall there! :) (Actually even if she didn't have a stall there, Jing and I will still scurry over, but don't let Teeny know wtf)Teeny and her little stall at the poolside! :)Aesthetically, the stall is pretty, and strategic. I mean, look at the sunlight dancing on the gentle ripples of the blue-tinted pool water! BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW HOT IT WAS. That was how Teeny turned black. T_TSisters. :)We were there around noon-time, which was considered early, since the place only opened at 11am. According to Teeny, sales was kind of slow, which was why she kept on rushing us to show up as soon as possible. Is it 'cause we are pretty and can attract customers, HEEHEE.Sigh, I asked Teeny the night before whether she wants a polaroid picture of me to attract people to her stall but she ignored my good intentions WTF.Slow sales, said a morbid Teeny.It was early so I didn't really see people that I know! So I was resigned to photoslut with Miss Bug Eye wtf.Doesn't our skin look magnificent! :)))Aah, wonders of sunrays. :)))I AM BEING FUCKING SARCASTIC OK. Fuck the sun la! It was so bloody hot I thought I would just melt into a pool of wax! But maybe that's the only way I can get out of my high-waisted skinny jeans WTF.I was seriously in one of the most unsuitable and wrong outfit-- cardie? Check. Super-tight high waisted skinny jeans? Check. Layering with chiffon that sticks to your back? Check. Gladiator sandals? Check.I almost DIED. T__T I swear to god, I suffered from a mini heatstroke. T__TBut damn, I love my cute little cardie. :))) I have 3 cute granny-ish cardies! Cost me a mini-bomb, but I can't wait to make up outfits with the rest of the two :)))Picture stolen off Teeny.I have no idea why was I cupping my boobs. -_-With my darling sister in her pretty dress which would later leave eternal tanlines.My breakfast/brunch/lunch-- so cute right!!And that's a tuft of grass on my cupcake, if you didn't realize.But of course, cuteness is temporary and fleeting. CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP I went; I was too hungry! :PWith Julie! Who was off to the MTV Asia Awards. the lucky woman.And check out what she said about me in her Bijou Bazaar entry:darling huiwen.who is back from singapore for the weekend. and seeing her is such a delight lar.anyone who've had a conversation with her will know why. these kinda ppl radiate happiness u wanna stuff them in your handbag. hoho.I am going to completely ignore the happiness part and just focus on the fact that people think I am thin enough to be stuffed into handbags!!! :DHAHAHHAHA and we were damn sad, we tried to create the illusion that Teeny had a lot of customers by flocking to her stall and pretending to buy things, HAHAHHAHA.HAHHAHAAH WHY ARE WE LIKE THAT!Anyway, that's all I have on the bazaar-- didn't take much pictures 'cause firstly, I didn't really meet anyone 'cause it was still early and I was only there for less than an hour. Secondly, I have blogged so often on Bijou Bazaar already! *click*I didn't buy much this time around, which is quite a turnaround for me, as some of you might know. :P Only 6 things for me this time:- Topshop pinstriped blazer- Ms. Selfridge fitted jacketThey are both brand new with tags, and I got them for RM70 in total, aahh! :)))- Tie-dyed scarf-- for work- Vintage dress shirt-- for work- Vintage color-blocked pink wraparound dress- Vintage mustard yellow anorak jacket-like top, this is friggin' awesome. :PNo pictures of them though! 'Cause I left some at home back in KL... But if you all insist on pictures, we can make Teeny take pictures and send to me, HEEEE.Tadaaa! My hands are so fast when I am shopping! It's a skill, I am telling you. ;) Hello from home! *updated*I had such a fulfilling day today! :) Rushed to a few places-- Topshop/Karen Millen/Principles etc clearance sale, Bijou Bazaar, missed a movie with the boyfriend (-_-), and caught another movie with the sisters (Sex and the City (SATC) yo!).No pictures of my weekend yet, but I do have some of , err, work outfits yet again. :PMonday: The skirt is navy, btw. Navy blue for Monday blues wtf. And my new Navy-inspired Charles & Keith pumps. Sailor love!Tuesday: Black & white striped Zara shirt, b'day present from Smalls. Haih why are my friends so practical. :PWednesday: The necklace I was wearing is also another gift-- part of my Christmas present from Jac, which came along with matching earrings and a really slutty Topshop top. A top which the boyfriend has banned me from wearing btw. -___-Thursday: This shirt is actually a semi-oversized boyfriend shirt! And may I introduced you to my outrageously overpriced F21 skirt. T_T I bought it 'cause it came with a pretty gold tassel chain belt, haha.Friday WTF.No pictures of Friday 'cause it was a community service day for the company! And the picture was actually from tonight-- I was looking rather worse for the the wear 'cause I cried and cried during the SATC movie! Was I the only one. T___TThe movie was so so so niceeee!! All the clothes, omg. T____T I was literally gaping and gasping at all the beautiful clothes shoes bags belts jewelry OMGGGG. And ya, I know, it's kinda stupid to watch SATC in M'sia-- I mean, it's amazing that they didn't sensor the movie title to ... and the City" WTFFF. But all the girlfriends I know have watched the movie! And anyhow, I had fun dressing up for the movie with my sisters-- we even had someone asked us whether we were tourists. -____________- Anyway, the boyfriend has already downloaded the movie for me, I am going to catch up on all the censored sex scenes, HEEHEE.And you know what, I did an inventory check that day, and I found out that I have about 16 white/cream dress shirts/tops for work purposes. And these are just the plain-colored ones-- they exclude striped/printed ones. -________________- And definitely more than a dozen of black skirts. WTFFF???? Since when did I collected all these things??? Did it all stemmed from an innate urge to dress like a banquet waitress wtf. -____________-***************************************updated*Since I was on the subject of SATC, here're some pictures of our little dressing-up. Yuuup, we purposely dressed up for a movie. But really, did you expect anything else from people as vain as us wtf. :POutfits:I was going for something playful (yes, SJP is HEART HEART HEART in my books), and ended up looking ike a 50's pin-up girl. T__TAt least I have the butt for it.. T___TAnd I love the corset-like tie-ups of this high waisted shorts, but previously I was too fat to put them on. But now I can! :D'Cause I was too skimpily dressed for the cinema...Vintage scarf as as a pashmina. Doesn't seem very practical, but it kept me warm! *defensive*Jing. If you love her clothes, don't forget to check out Velvet Ribbon k! :)Teeny. Look at the poor thing! She was (and still is) lobster red-- induced from all the sun when she set up a stall in Bijou Bazaar. Is that why she wore white to create a fairer illusion ar.And YESSS we got damn a lot of stares in the shopping mall. At one point, we were thinking of putting a sign on us that says We just came back from a wedding dinner to be less inconspicuous WTF. And when Jing saw her boyfriend's friend, she tried to hide from the friend, hahaha. But jokes aside; I am not sure whether it is a good thing; but we are pretty much used to getting stares and looks for being a tad overdressed sometimes.And damn sohai, we were running terribly late, but we had to catch dinner before that. So instead of the nice girlie dinner we envisioned, we ended up eating at the kopitiam-concept eatery right next to the theater. -_______-'Kan-cheong', impatient looks, 'cause I was really worried about missing the beginning of the movie (we were really late).In the end, we did miss the introduction part. T___THahaha! Both my sisters looked so out of place in a coffeeshop setting. :PReasons why we missed a bit of the movie:Why can we never resist camwhoring in front of mirrors. T__TOur downfall wtf.SATC girls! :)))Aaaah, I know I have mentioned already how insanely good the movie was, but AAAHHHH IT WAS SO INSANELY GOOD!Everytime a new outfit comes on, I'd be AAHHHHHHH *insert orgasmic moans* Especially the part where they featured different wedding gowns from Christian Lacroix, Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood etc etc! *swoons*That reminds me, sometime ago, I came across an article which stated that it is possible to purchase couture wedding gowns from the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Lacroix in KL.Excited, I brought it up with the boyfriend and made him promise to get me one for our wedding. He then asked me how much it would cost. A very excited me told a very pale, ashen him that it'd be about 20k (quotation gotten off from the article). But then, I changed my mind and quipped, "But how ar? It has always been my dream to wear Vera Wang!"He then said, "If you wear Vera Wang, I Tare Wang (tak ada, meaning: don't have money)"-______________________________-Before I go off, let me give you guys a little eye candy.Nude picture of me WTFFF.Gosh, I really looked so nekkid here. -_-Anyway, I am back in S'pore now. I didn't cry when saying goodbye just now! Unlike 2 weeks ago. *pats back*Is it 'cause saying goodbye gets easier each time, or is it because I have gotten stronger? Or maybe I have just became a better actress. Happy 2 years? Update: I have half a day off today, and I am flying back home tonight? Life is looking good. :DOk, this is totally random, but I just found out that ... I have been blogging for 2 years?Just take a look at my first ever post. -________-I am really not the type to strike a timeline and wish my blog a happy birthday every now and then. But wow, it's amazing how time has passed! It took me a good whole 3 years to start a blog, and though blogging for 2 years is nothing compared to a lot of my friends who have had blogs since high school/college, it certainly comes as quite a surprise to me that we (my blog and I wtf) have came so far. :PTo share a little tidbit with you, I actually had another blog EONS ago. When Teeny started hers, I suppose? And I still remember, the blog layout was this giant blue flower in the middle, and the text are all displayed on the it. There was a little scroll bar on the flower, and you get to scroll your mouse, and see words so swish swish swish on the giant petals. It was one of those Blogskin templates, and I thought it was so cool. And the blog's url, oh the blog's url. It was called www.life-is-a-potpourri.blogspot.com. -___- I guess if I have stuck with that blog, I would never have anybody read my blog, 'cause god knows that it is a hassle to type such a long phrase.Not to mention that sometimes even I have trouble spelling potpourri, hahaha. I had but ONE entry on the blog, which read something like "Voila, my blog is born!!"I really need to come up with better captions. -______-I never got to add any more entries into that blog of mine, I rather write in my diary. And soon, the blog became long forgotten and stashed away. In fact, over the years, I did try to key in the url, but the blog is no longer available.And then, I don't know when it begun, but some time before I left for Melbourne for my studies, I started toying with the idea of starting a blog again. By then, I was an avid reader of a lot of blogs, and hello? Putting up my pictures and talking about me me me? That was a concept that I could totally click with. :P Although I made no action to actually start a blog then, I noticed that in my everyday life, I was starting to take more pictures, interesting pictures, and when I see/experience things, I run lines over in my head, seeing how they would sound, how I would relay them in text form. Without really realizing it, I was blogging-- in my head. Even during my Japan trip (slightly less than 2 months before I left for aussieland), I was already posing weirdly and snapping pictures of noteworthy things, things I want to share with people. :) But still, there was no move to click "start a blog".Then I went to Melbourne.I was lonely, I cried during my first few weeks. I needed friends, but I didn't know where to find them. I wanted my family and my boyfriend, but they weren't there with me.And it was during one of those lonesome nights that, as the saying goes, "Voila, my blog is born!!" :)The plan was flawless, blogging was something to fill up the time, and to take up my mind. I used to like doing creative writing in school, so this was an avenue as well for me to churn out my nonsense. And the main point was to share my life with the people back home-- my sisters, the boyfriends, my friends who were (and still are) spread all over the world. I could update them on my life, and it pleases me, to have the boyfriend and my sisters see my life through my eyes. And as I blogged about things I do, things I see, people I love in Melbourne, I relieve those happy Melbourne moments, and lo and behold, I fell in love with with my Melbourne life. :) When I first started blogging, I had a total of about 40 hits a day-- composed of Smalls, Kit Mey, Victoria, Jac, my sisters, the boyfriend, a handful of my friends back home (or elsewhere) and myself. -_- Every comment made my day (until I saw that they were spam comments wtf). Today, there are more people who read my blog, and still, every comment makes my day. :))) Sometimes, I get the sweetest comments..."Your blog is my happy fix""... reading your blog makes me so happy...."".... your blog has become a therapy for me... especially during stressed days...""I love your pictures!!! They make me smile!""please don't ever ever change anything about your blog!""... you are so funny... i love the way you write..."Haha, I know I am really weird (and narcissistic wtf), but I collected these comments a really long time ago for a little project I was doing. :P And yea, basically I get very happy when people tell me that they are, err, happy when they read my blog! :D...and sometimes, the sweetest emails. :)))One of the emails from a reader that made me smile till now:you know what, you're like a star. even from bazillion of miles away, you're bursting with energy. your mail made me smile. :) stay this way, its so wonderful.My style of writing has changed so much too! Just peruse through my really really old entries (try here, here, here and here), and you will see that my entries were way shorter, more spontaneous in a way, and I tried to write with proper grammarn(lesser usage of slangs and Manglish). And definitely no wtfs. Btw, omg, how the flat hair flat has changed in term of looks! :P Some people complain about the usage of 'wtf' as a punctuation. But my intention is simple, it is used somewhat as a punctuation, but only to emphasized that I said something really really idiotic or stupid. 'Cause I am known to have quite an in-your-face humor (i.e. crude), and you have to admit it, sometimes people don't know when you're joking. There is nothing really different about saying "Yo mama is so fat when she turns around it's the next day wtf" or "Yo mama is so fat when she turns around it's the next day, haha". Both are punctuations! :P But that said, I don't use 'wtf' in real life, except for in its original context ("Wtf? You ate grass for breakfast?"), though I am guilty of adopting it online. ;) These days, I also write whatever that comes into my mind, which explains the less then erm, beautiful language. I also noticed that I end in exclamation marks a lot. -___- But in a way, this is a more truer depiction of myself. If you see me in real life, I am a very very excitable person-- I pretty much speak in exclamation marks most of the time. -_- "Isn't this ice cream good!" "Let's go catch a movie!" "I am so pretty!" hahaha. And I use way way way more expressions/emoticons, which is very much like me in real life too. The boyfriend told me that one of the reasons why he loves me is 'cause I am very animated. Like a cartoon. -__-Blogging has also become a form of recording for me... for my activities, that is. Almost every significant event/outing would be blogged by me. The simple truth? Documenting things that I have done, people I have met, outfits I have worn WTF, may seemed tedious at the point of the time, but often, I have the greatest fun browsing through my old entries and just reliving those memories. :) And it's also a great way for my friends to keep track of their outfits, HAHAHA. Whenever they try to rack their minds for what they wore for A outing or B event, they just need to link to my blog, hee.I don't really know how all this started, but I can't believe I blogged so much on, well, my blog! -_- Basically, what I am trying to say is... I don't regret clicking on my keyboard 2 years ago to produce the words, "Voila, my blog is born!" :PAnd in true hui-wen style, what blog entry would be complete without visuals. :PWork outfits from last week.Monday blues. This was the day I got locked IN my room as mentioned here. T___T(As you can see, when the picture was taken, the door was already opened. :P)You can't see the ruffles on my black top, boo! :(And this fish-tail skirt is too big for me. I hate to admit it ('cause what if I jinx myself wtf), but I am losing weight. All my skirts are a little too big for me now. :(I feel like slapping myself when I see this picture. Why was I so miang, twirling hair and all! -_-Vintage brooch! And ya la, I know I looked damn flat in this picture. T__TAnd casual Friday, woot!Yes, my company is quite strict on casual Friday's dress codes-- they insist on 'business casual'. BOOOO, no slutty outfits ar! :PAnd just to recap on what I talked about... Hopefully I will be doing this for a long time to come. I can totally imagine myself blogging in my trimester of pregnancy and cursing my husband and all men in the world, hahaha. My happy place. Someone commented once that she likes reading my entries with Flat Hair Flat in it, simply 'cause the entries are always so happy.Well, this is for you people who think that way. :PThe small one, who came down to Singapore! For too short a weekend, I might add. :(((She saw my dress, and the first thing she could say was :"SALMON!"No love man our friendship. -_-And Flat Hair Flat reunited. T_____TMey just came back from Melbourne after visiting her boyfriend, so you could say that the timing of everything was perfect. :)))And fuck, I was looking like shit in almost every picture 'cause I went straight from work! My make-up was all melted off during the day, my hair was stringy, BOOO.With Abby here!We went to Oosh in Dempsey for dinner and drinks, and they straightaway led us to the back al fresco part of the restaurant (bypassing the main entrance)! T_T I think it was 'cause of the racket we were creating before they brought us into the restaurant (camwhoring and such *shifty eyes*). And although it was pretty obvious that there were still seats indoors, they insisted that we had to sit outside. ARE WE THAT NOISY wtf. Thank god it was really really dark outdoors, the only light being emitted from the solitary candle on the tables-- so we asked for extra FOUR candles and candlelight holders, one for the each of us wtf, HAHAHA. The waiter finally got overwhelmed, and ushered us into the restaurant. :PSmalls' mains. -___________________-Where got people eat ONE sausage for a main meal wan! -____-But quite cute hor, the display of the palette resembles a smiley face wtf.I had pork ribs. T__TWhy am I such a big eater compared to my girlfriends! T_TI looked a little worse for the wear here, as I was seated at the head the table, and I insisted on shouting and shrieking to be heard wtf-- making me quite exhausted and hoarse by the end of it. :PStill at Dempsey-- but we adjourned to the drinking area! :)With Kenny.Kenny told me I am the loudest girl he knows after Smalls. -_-Kenny (who has been working in S'pore for sometime already) told me a few months ago that Singapore is too small an island to contain my noise. -_-Kenny, upon knowing that I scored a job in S'pore, told me that I don't have to inform him of my arrival in S'pore, because he would be able to hear me. -___-With Erin!Who loves to splurge on clothes. T_T She thinks 100-over SGD for clothing is cheap, and recommends all these expensive places to me. But I am a cheapo when it comes to shopping, howww. T___TExcuse us, it isn't everyday that best camwhore buddies are reunited. :PWith Jiren, the wonderful host who took us in for the weekend-- our slumber party was held at his place!And he didn't mind our noise. *touched*In fact, after Jac (and us) left, he called me and tell me that his house is so empty without us. T___TAll the girls! Nevermind that there are 1001 pictures of us, and although there are 3 other guys, there are close to zero photos of them.Girls are so much better to look at, don't you think!! :PAfter awhile, we (specifically Mey) started complaining that our poses are too boring. And she accused us of having rusty camwhoring skills! BLASPHEMY!Which pretty much lead to idiotic pictures. :PI was emo-ing (internally wtf) for a good part of the night 'cause I packed the wrong pair of shoes to change into after work. I wanted to wear my new Topshop shoes! :(Glowy picture from Jac's camera. I swear, the woman's camera is magicked!! We all look so shiny and happy and pretty. *shy*1,2,3,4,5.-_______________-Tipsy people is like that wan.And they kept on arranging Smalls and I to be in the middle 'cause we were wearing pink, and everyone else was in black and white. Why are my friends like this. -___-Sexyback, although the phrase/caption is SO SO cliched and overdone already. But I can't find a better adjective wtf.And I also wanted to show the gold zipper of the dress I was wearing! I bought the dress 'cause of the zipper, I am weird like that. -_-Flat hair flat pictures:Pictures failed by Smalls, because she wanted 'proper' smiley pictures of us. And she scolded me when she saw that I was drinking my Sangri in the picture, hence making the picture 'improper'. -_- Talk about obsessive-compulsive, woman! :PAnd speaking of idiotic pictures, everyone, this is High On Grass, the cocktail that Mey and Jac ordered. A concoction of liquor, wheatgrass and honey.Served with real grass wtf.As attested by them, haha!Why are my friends so attractive, HAHAHA.Btw, our table that night won a Singfest ticket! Check out here for the line-up, omg, we are talking about Alicia Keys, Travis, Panic at the Disco, Pussycat Dolls, Jason Mraz, One Republic, Simple Plan..!!! All in a weekend concert!!! And the tickets cost SGD300 (it might be higher now as it nears the date) for a 2 day pass. -_- I was really eager to go, and am even up for forking out the insane amount of money (considering I haven't received my pay yet), but I couldn't find anyone to go with me! T__T So I booked tickets to go home this weekend. And now we won this ticket. HAIHHHH. T___TOk, I am going to end abruptly here. I wanted to post some pictures of us, or rather me attempting to go to the beach on Saturday, but the reason is strictly superficial-- I wore black on Saturday, and I wore black on Sunday, so I want to break the monotony lest I post both batches of pictures in the same entry.I can be such a bimbo sometimes.On another semi-superficial note, after only a month of working, my colleagues told me,"We noticed that you don't repeat your clothes!!!"And these are male colleagues. -_____- Withdrawal symptoms. HELLOOOOOOOO!I know I have pretty much disappeared off the face of the planet for the past few days-- I am not only referring to my blog, I have lost contact with my sisters and the boyfriend these few days too wtf. But I have gone to my happy place, y'see! :)Pictures from the first 2 days... The bulk of pictures would come later for days 3 and 4, when Smalls have arrived, and the Flat Hair Flat was officially united! :DMade dinner plans to see Jac after work. :)))Jac and Jiren there!I was so excited to see her! I think it was almost half a year since we saw each other. T_T And I felt like a first date wtf, I kept on fidgeting to make sure I was in tip top condition, haha. And I went straight from work to dinner!! But obviously I didn't wear that to work. I brought clothes to change. :P Haih, vanity is like that wan. And it was damn funny, 'cause everyone kept on coming up to me to ask me discreetly, "Did you wear this to work?" with a worried look on their faces; and they all breathed a sigh of relief when I told them that NO I changed! Hahaha.Erin, Abby and Mey.Why are all my friends so pretty wan. :)))And before I left work, I told my seniors that I was going to meet my girlfriends, and I mentioned that they are all damn hot. Then they told me to bring my girlfriends to meet them for drinks, but I am welcomed to not join WTF. T__T Always kena bullied at work. T____TSiew loong pau!We had dinner at Din Tai Foong, and they guaranteed on their menu that each dumpling comes with 18 folds-- Jac and I spent a good part of our dinner counting the folds, hahaha. WHY ARE WE LIKE THAT. :PQueuing up for Swensen's!And you know what! I had the top that Jac was wearing! (had, 'cause I sold it off already -_-) It's damn weird, but in the 6 months that we were apart, upon stalking her blog and Facebook, I always find that we have the same clothings! (things that I have bought from Melbourne before I left) :P I think this is easily the 5th top! DAMN WEIRD RIGHT. Haihhh, what to do, excellent tastes excellent tastes, hee. But I find it really amusing though, 'cause although we always like the same things (even in S'pore, we find ourselves reaching out for the same things), our dressing sense is actually quite different! Aah, the wonderment of fashion and style. :PFlat Hair Flat minus 1.And meeting up with Jac the following day... I swear to god, last week was just majorly exhausting. Everyday, straight after work I will zoom to meet up with the girls! But I wouldn't have it any other way of course. :)Jac: OIIII why you dress up! I purposely wore baby tee and jeans 'cause I thought you'd be in work clothes!Haihhh I am quite anal, don't want to be caught dead in work clothes. -_-In MOS (the fast food joint wtf) 'cause Jac felt like having their burgers.The amount of food for 3 of us (Jac, Jiren and I)!!!Haha, I will show you all more pictures of how scary Jac is when it comes to ordering food soon. :PGarlic and lemon mussels!Damn niceeeee. :)Jac has put on a little welcomed weight ('cause she was really so skinny last time!), and now she is always found bragging about her new cleavage, HAHA.Outfit!I damn like this top! It's one of my precious thrifted finds in S'pore. :))))) The whole top is crotcheted actually. :)))) Close-up. :))))Okies, that's all for now, I need to catch up on my sleep!And in case you're wondering why my colleagues called me Fiona, it's 'cause I told them someone from the office told me that I look like Fiona Xie. Fiona Xie is super super super gorgeous! And god knows I don't look anything like her la, but the girl insisted that when I smile, we look alike. T_T Then when I told my seniors, they threw their heads back and laughed giddily. And they started calling me Fiona after that. T___T They even wanted to save my number under the name 'Fiona'. T_____T Why they like to bully me. T___TBut anyhow, they told me that I am the most outstanding and bravest one out of the new joiners in our department!They also told me that I am damn noisy and that I should have my own radio show, but that's another issue altogether wtf.And if you're wondering what the withdrawal symptoms are referring to... I miss my girls. I am having Flat Hair Flat withdrawal symptoms. :( My <3s. *updated again HEE*I fell asleep just now on my bed in my bikini. -_________-Am going out now, Ministry of Sound YOOOOO! And am bunking in with Jac and Smalls and Mey after that, slumber partayyyy! Err, teeny nighties and pillow fights may be on the agenda wtf.Nevertheless, it is the girls' last night in S'pore, and I can't help but feel a little down. :(*slightly updated wtf*I am so happy today. :)))Thanks to all the best wishes and whatnots, I got to meet up with my darling Jac, and my darling Kitty Mey as well. Talked so much just now that I have no voice now!And boo, I stayed out so late, and got back just in time too-- turned out I took the last train back! =/So late now, I am going to DIE at work tomorrow. T_TPS: My seniors are calling me Fiona now. Got a big sad sob story behind it. T______T********************************************I have no time to blog! Been meeting up with Jac for 2 nights straight, and Smalls is officially on the island tonight. ;) Tomorrow, girls night out complete with dinner and pubbing, and MOS on saturday night! And I told Jac that I am going to have 2 outfit changes for tomorrow night-- one for dinner and one for drinks, and she told me to sit at a separate table wtf.Nah, teaser picture!I am going back home next weekend!! By flight somemore. *big shiny teary eyes* So much to update, but no time!Wish for me a good weekend k! :P Purple. 'Cause I was wearing red today, but I was blue, blue blue! wtfJust in case you think this is another Monday blues post, IT IS NOT ok. T__T I had one of the more dramatic mornings (the other one was when I woke up 15minutes before my exam: I stayed half an hour away from Sunway campus and that was excluding morning rush hour traffic, but that's another story for another day wtf).So there I was today, a dreary morning, you could see the dark clouds threatening rain from afar; yet I just went on in a daze-- putting on my clothes, half-heartedly trying to smooth my hair, it was one of those bad hair days. I walked to my door, I wanted to get myself some water, and guess what, I COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR.The door wouldn't budge, no matter how I pushed and shoved it, however hard I tried to twist and turn the door knob. If I was back home, or at the boyfriend's place, it might have been a prank, but I am quite sure my 60-year old aunt wouldn't throw such a trick on me. Frantic, I started pounding on my door, and screamed for my aunt.My aunt and my cousin brother came running along, and no matter how much they tried, the door just wouldn't open!! WTF RIGHT. And I didn't even lock the door, I just closed it shut. By then, I was worried sick, I am dead tired, I have to go to work at 6.45am, and now THIS? WHAT KIND OF JOKE IS THIS?? I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.My cousin brother started throwing his weight on the door, attempting to slam it down, as I sat on the bed, and the door-slamming reminded me of TVB shows. -_- After realizing that the door just wouldn't even budge an inch, they took out the hammer!!! And started hammering the door, trying to break the lock or the door itself, I am not sure wtf. And all along, I just lied on my bed, trying to nap, HAHAHA. Seriously, I was so tired you can't imagine! And it wasn't like there was anything I could do to help them, 'cause I was at the wrong side of the door (the only thing I could do was to yank at the door knob). And anyhow, I was ordered to stay far away from the door just in case my cousin suddenly bang it open.HAIHHH I am quite useless sometimes.After hammering the door for what seemed like eons, the door knob fell out. -___- And there was a hole in the door where the knob used to be. -___- And my aunt peeped through the hole and asked me, "Are you napping!" HAHAHAH wtf. Then I told her that ya, I was really tired from trying to help them yank the door open, HAHAHHA.But STILL the door wouldn't opened. -__-In the end, they called a locksmith, who promised to only pop by after an hour.So I did the most logical thing.I texted my senior to tell him that I will be in late, and went to sleep. :PSIGHHHHH during the ordeal I really felt like the unluckiest girl in the world. BUT I realize now that it was a blessing in disguise! 'Cause that 1 hour nap (even amidst my aunt's try-hard attempts to further hammer down the door), really really helped! You know how you're so tired you feel like you will just drop dead, and suddenly I come offer you an hour's sleep on a silver platter? BEST FEELING I am telling you. :PBut now I have another thing to be emo and upset about! T______TYou all know right, Jac is here in S'pore (just reached today), and Smalls would be joining us this Thursday night!!! At first I thought I would be relatively free this week, 'cause I have completed my sections on time, and there seemed to be no big issues with them.. But today I got dumped with damn a lot of of shit work! Shit work that I know nuts about. FUCK MANN. This is beyond throwing me into the deep sea of the pool. This is throwing me into the same deep pool with starved man-eating sharks!!! I am damn worried that I will be pulling overtime now, and I can't meet up with my loves. T____T And god knows how long the flat hair flat hasn't been united. T______TAnd fuck you if you tell me welcome to work life.Bahhh can you tell that I am PMS-ing.Okies! Thanks to a life-saving reader of mine, I got wind that the mega sales would end this weekend-- so I quickly rushed out again on Sunday!! And bought even more things! Especially from Topshop. I have no idea why recently I like everything there. -_- But let me just show you one of my favorite buyssss! :)))A Kate Moss for Topshop vintage inspired bag!OK la, I know the bag looks meh here, but I wear to god, it's FIERCEEEEE in real life! Maybe when I use it, you all can see.. *shiny eyes* I have been looking for a ruchsack bag like that for quite sometime, so this was a godsent! :))) And omg, can you believe this bag was almost RM600 before discount. -_____-And BOOOO I am so dead. I have officially gotten my 2nd Topshop voucher. You need to spend SGD250 to get one, I don't even dare to calculate how much I have spent this weekend. FUCKKKK. And I think Topshop loves me now (I went to 3 different outlets wtf), they gave me a 'lucky card'-- it has a value pre-loaded in it, and it depends on my luck how much is in it! What if it's only 1 buck arrr! T__TOk, just pictures from Sunday ok!Damn nice right the lighting of this picture! :)))It's damn hard to take self-timer pictures k. T__T Especially 'cause I have nowhere to place my camera-- in the end I just perched it on the staircase while I run off swiftly for the picture to be captured. T__TAnd it was quite sad, 'cause when I walked out of my room clad in the outfit shown above, my aunt came up to me, mouth agape and told me that I looked gorgeous. She then said very sadly, "Such a pity your boyfriend isn't here to see you this pretty!"Then I gulped and felt all sad. T____TBut anyhow, I don't feel that I looked that great la, 'cause when I go out by myself I don't put that much effort into dressing up. =/And BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO guess what!!! I found out that I broke my sunnies. T__TThey now look like that:T_______________________________T Leash needed, pronto! Sisters: "Whatever happened to saving?"T________________TSometimes I really hate myself.I think it was the delicious "Thank god it's Friday" mood that I was in yesterday, so I decided to go off for a little shopping after work, lugging my laptop bag which is as heavy as a baby whale. The main agenda was for me to get a moisturizer, since I have ran out of it.But I got a little carried away. T__TThey don't look like a lot right! But the Topshop bag carrier bag behind is as big as my pillow. T_T And the Bysi paperbag you see at the front is the size of 1 and 1/2 pillows wtf. Trust me, it was HELL trudging along carrying all these shopping bags along with my work bag and my laptop bag! T____TIt's just that I got a little too excited, 'cause do you know Topshop here have sales up to 60%!! In M'sia, 70% sales only come on during the last stretch of the sales period, i.e. final clearance period; else usually 50% is the cap. And just to let you gauge how crazily I spent yesterday, I have officially became a Fashion Fast Forward (i.e. Topshop/Selfridge/Dorothy Perkins) member (Singapore) AND I have also scored my first voucher (given when you spend over 250 bucks). I have a FFF card back in KL, but unfortunately, it cannot be used in S'pore! So I am pretty happy that the S'pore membership card is safely in my wallet now. :P And that I am also on my way to collecting my next voucher. -_-BUTTT I am quite emo now! 'Cause I just found out that Topshop back in KL have started their mega sales too! T___T And it appears that for the things I have bought in S'pore, I have paid more for them as compared to if I have bought them in KL. T___T FUCK THIS SHIT WEI. Damn sad now, I was gloating 'cause I thought I got good bargains, and now my sister told me that KL is cheaper!!! I am only trying to console myself that even though it's cheaper in KL, it's not like I can go back to get them now. And by the time I go back next round, sizes would have run out anyway. *reassures own bitter self*But anyhow, I am really really really pleased with purchases yesterday, 'cause I actually stocked up on a lot of, err, long-term wants of mine! Things like, 50's full swing skirts (two), a cute swing bolero jacket, cigarette plaid pants, tutu skirts (two), wide legged pants, 2 pairs of Topshop shoes. These are things that I have been wanting for sometime, just that I had trouble finding nice ones! And they are also things that I could rewear, so I reckon they are justified buys. :P Also got a couple of dresses and tops... I did momentarily toyed with the idea of posting up my buys, that's how much I love the items I got last night, but they are really too many of them! And anyway, don't you think it's more fun to seem them on me when I actually wear them. :PBtw, I have actually coveted one of the Topshop shoes that I bought last night for a long time! So much so that I almost bought it during my company's private sales (20% off). And now it's 50% off! Thank god I didn't get it then, if not I will really be sobbing my brains out. Thank god for near-misses sometimes. :P***************************************Work outfits! I find that documenting my work-wear helps me be more.. mindful of what I wear-- I try harder to not to be boring. :PFirst day of working with the client-- decided to play it safe and professional, hence the white and black ensemble.Never would I have anticipated the day that I wear pearl earrings AND necklace! Seems so.. adult. =/There is a bow on my black skirt, can you see it!I try to get more interesting items for work. T_TMandarin collared shirt, with pretty pleating. :)))Hmm, you know what, considering how much I wear pearl earrings, I really should consider investing in Mikimoto. *HINT HINT TO THE BOYFRIEND*My manly outfit-- vest and slacks! Coupled with my new pearl cuff. :)))Casual Friday!Oooh, I was wearing matching pink button earrings, and halfway furiously typing away on my laptop, my colleague asked me, "Eh! Your earrings look like Mentos!". So I retorted, "Are you trying to tell me I look delicious!", and then he said, "Ok ok let's get back to work".Boohoohoo. T___T*************************************************And I am adhering to my promise. :)))))May I present to you, the most delicious, yummy, scrumptious, mouthwatering siew yuk there ever ever is!! :))))I can't remember the English name of the shop, but I think it's Wong Kee or something like that.It starts its business at 12.30, and during lunchtime, the queue is might long! You'll have to be quick too, 'cause the siew yuk gets sold off real fast. The coffee shop only has this ONE stall, so you can imagine how booming the business is! :)MMMM. Crispy skin, with even layers of fat and meat... The meat literally melts in your mouth, and the skin crunches and pops... I can honestly sweat to god that I have never tasted such good roasted pork in my life!It's so good that I go to the shop 3 times a week; and when I went back to KL last weekend, it was the first meal that I demanded for! :P The shop is near Times Square-- err, I suck at directions, so please go to here for a true and fair review + directions to the place k! :)And I found this batch of pictures along with the siew yuk pictures, so I am posting them up too. :PAll rosy and satisfied after my roasted pork feast. :)Outfit! I was going for a child-like, doll-ish effect, hence the playful stockings and the rocking horse necklace. :PAnd yessss, I wore this to have siew yuk at a coffee shop! I did get a lot of glances/stares, but boo, I am used to it! *brave face*We went to Desserts' Bar Hartamas Shopping Center! :)And I look so boobsy here. *shy*Desserts' Bar! :)And if it's not obvious enough, YES, it's desserts desserts desserts all the way here! Healthy desserts though, very fruity ones.My drink: ice blended mango and strawberries.EH why my mango slices looked so furry here!The boyfriend's blended apple and melon.Normal people sip on their drinks, with no accidents or mishaps.... As for me, I didn't even realized that one of my mango slices have fell out. T__TBut never mind, don't my eyes look so big here! Like Alien Workshop wtf.Vanilla panna cotta with fresh raspberries and strawberries and a dash of honey. I thought this was quite awesome!And I had fun pushing the plate back and forth to see how the jelly would jiggle, hahaha.I think I look like a schoolgirl in this dress! Should I keep it for role-playing WTF.I actually bought it for winter in Melbourne, but I never did get to wearing it. :(You know how you can leave imprints on certain fabrics by lightly scratching it or making strokes on it?And heehee, this is what we play with (the couch) while waiting for our desserts to arrive! :P***************************************While out doing groceries just now, I saw a girl on the escalator wearing a fur-trimmed sleeveless parka. Which leads to a question that I have always been meaning to ask you all-- what exactly is the limit when following trends? M'sia (and S'pore wtf) are tropical countries, so no matter how badly we want to, there are some (winter) trends that might not be too suitable for our climate.This question first popped into my head when I saw this Topshop stylist (you know right, that there are fashion stylists in certain Topshop stores, they will help style you up! Based on a fee of course) wearing a knit beanie, black tights, and a knitted scarf. Stylish, yes, very much so. But whilst the outfit is a YES during autumn/winter; under our weather conditions, it just looked a little.. weird. So the debacle is, what is yay and what is nay in KL(or S'pore/other tropical countries)?- wearing knee length boots- knitted beanies/scarves- leather jackets- trench coats- PARKAS-- with fur somemore wtf- And any other thing you can think of! Suggestions! :PPersonally, I can accept jackets (trench or leather), provided they are not too warm. If they look too thick/warm, you might look foolish. I won't be wearing any knee-length boots in non-winter countries! But ship me to a cold country, and I will be happily pulling them on. :P Aaah, I miss the days of boots and trenches. T_T Scarves are ok, provided they are lightweight-- a thick knitted scarf will look silly! I am undecided on beanies though, I saw a girl in f21 once wearing a beanie with a tank and a denim mini, the look didn't really go. Though I admit, too many a times I am tempted to throwing on my beanie, 'cause they are so cute and just waiting to be worn! :DWhat other yay or nay fashion items can you think of! And what do you think? :P Teeny red shorts. While weighing the weight issue (wtf) with Jaclyn...Jac telling me that her mom offered her monetary rewards if she loses weight (as if she even needs to! -_-):hui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:WTFF WHY UR MOM SO NICEEhui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:but even if mine gives me money to lose weighthui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:it wont workhui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:i rather eathui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:and bluff her that i become slimmer alrdyhui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:but actually everyday wear black around her WTFAnd when Jac started droning on about how FAT she is (this is the cue for everyone to roll their eyes):hui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:any more skinnier, u will be jac in the box wtfhui wen- -I sold my soul for soles says:coz so small can fit in the box wtfAnd look what makes the boyfriend tick:insidious embodiment says:i am damn impressedinsidious embodiment says:heheinsidious embodiment says:i just installed my fingerprint on my pcinsidious embodiment says:now i dun have to put any passwordinsidious embodiment says:just swipe finger for anything and everything which needs passwordinsidious embodiment says:then will use my fingerprint...insidious embodiment says:heheinsidious embodiment says:can assign diff fingers to diff passwordsinsidious embodiment says:haha-__________________________-Lest you all think that I am so lazy to blog that I just post excerpts of my IM conversations, here are pictures from my weekend as I promised! :PKin Kin dry spicy Pan Mee! Really famous in KL-- I would give you the address/directions, but I am too lazy to look for it now. Might update the location later if the boyfriend is willing to impart with his mighty navigation knowledge wtf.The secret to the most exciting Pan Mee! A thrilling ride through and through. 'Cause you have to eat it with their chili, and trust me, they don't get any spicier and syok than this! :PSupper with the sisters. Supper is a very common occurrence in the Hoe household-- we have to meet the 8 meals a day quota WTF.Simply threw on the first dress that caught my eye in my cupboard. 'Cause it was just a casual outing! And that, is my Charles & Keith sandals which I bought one day because my heels were too painful. T___T Damn expensive (after conversion), heart painnnn. T___TThe many faces of Teeny wtf:And ooooohhhhh, if you're a fan of milk teas, you really should try the White Milk Tea in Old Town (where we were)! It's damn damn damn good! Once you try it, you can't really go back to normal teh tariks!!!With Jing.After snapping this picture, being the obsessive compulsive camwhore I am, I snatched the camera to check the picture (don't bluff! I know all of you all do this too! :P), and exclaimed, "shit, why am I the only one so blur in this picture!!!"Then Jing replied me: Eh, are you sure you haven't passed away already, and now you are just a ghost ar!WTFFFF.And then she is damn bad!!! We were laughing really hard at something, and Jing snorted and spurted out a small crumb of roti bakar, and it landed at the corner of my face!!!Then she forced me to stay still so that she could take a picture of my "Marilyn Monroe moment". T____T(Can you see the dot at the corner of my eyes wtf)Sunday! Errr only pictures of my outfit, 'cause I was sick (runny nose) and had no mood whatsoever, for anything. Damn sad right, my last day at home-- considering that I was only home for effectively 1 and 1/2 days, and I was sick and blah! :(Wore something bright and cheery to lift my mood.I actually knotted a red polka-dot scarf on my vintage bag, but you can't see it! T_TIt just looks like a huge wad of.. fabric from here. T__TMy very narcissistic attempt to show you the details of my top! It's a really pretty top, with embroidery and netting and a cut-out neckline! :)))Ok, I have one question to ask you all ok! It's purely a hypothetical question (for you lucky non-working people wtf)... But when you start working, the right thing to do is to take portion of your earnings to give to your parents right? What proportion do you think is appropriate?I plan to give my grandpa and my grandma each a sum of money... Just 'cause they are so cute and worried about me working abroad. And also, I think they really contribute so much to our family. My dad asked for me to give him SGD500 each month!!! 'Cause he thinks that I can't save (HE IS SO WRONG, but I don't dare to show him my bank balance, 'cause what if my parents say, oh you have so much money, we don't need to give you allowance!! *untrusting wtf*), and he insists that he will help me "save" the 500 bucks. -___- 500 is quite a significant chunk from my salary ok! T__T So now I am confused, how much should I give to my parents? Should I even give any? My mom tells me that I don't need to, they have enough of it; but I reckon it's the right and filial thing to do? That very exciting thing. SIGHHHHHHH. I am back here. :(My weekend was great! Rushed, tiring, but great nonetheless. My only regret is I feel that I didn't manage my time well enough. :(And I didn't go to Bijou Bazaar! EMOOOO. First bazaar of the year which I have missed. T__T For you lucky people who got to go, update and let me be jealoussss k! :PJust a few pictures from my weekend! 'Cause I need to be at client's place at 8am tomorrow. T___T It takes me 1 hour plus to reach there. T_____T So you can calculate what time I need to wake up. T____TI reached at 3am (the bus departed from Johor's immigration center at 12am, I do not even dare to imagine how fast the bus driver was going!=/), so don't fault me if I look a little worse for the wear ok! :'(In the car, off to have my favorite siew yok (roasted pork) in KL!I swear to god, this roasted pork is THE BEST IN THE WORLD. No pictures, though I have gazillions of it in my laptop, 'cause I couldn't resist taking pictures of it everytime I am there. Capturing perfection on film, how often is that! ;) I promise I will blog about the siew yuk soon ok, I swear to god, you won't regret it-- it comes with the HIGHEST HIGHEST HIGHEST recommendation from me! :PAnd my top is yellow, I have no idea why it appeared white-ish in the pictures above.Sunshine couple! 'Cause I was decked in yellow, and him in orange, haha!Hahaha why do I look so angry!I find it an extreme challenge now to dress up, 'cause some of my things are still at home, some are in S'pore. AAH I KNOW! Buy new wardrobe in Singapore WTF.And have you all been to the paid toilet in KLCC before? It is situated on the 2nd floor (if I am not mistaken), and you need to pay RM2 per visit. I have always wondered how it is inside, especially with the boyfriend telling me about the time he went. I know, damn gay right, why he went and use a paid toilet! Don't men pee in bushes and walls, hahaha.Anyway, I really needed to use the washroom, and when the normal public toilets were filled with people, I decided to give the RM2 supposedly 'luxurious' toilets a go.My verdict? Save the RM2 and go have a yummy roti canai.The toilet looks exactly like the normal toilets situated on other floors! Save for the two sad aromatherapy candles at the basin. I expected its interior to be lavish and in full grandeur. And it's also not exceptionally clean. Its only saving grace were the Body Shop toiletries, which you're free to use. There were hand cream, face mist, hand soap etc.Body Shop products!Needless to say, I used damn a lot of the moisturizer-- to make my money more worth it wtf.Oh no, am I turning into a Singaporean!!! Ha ha..ha *shifty eyes*With my exceptionally supple hands! 'Cause drenched in hand lotion, heehee.Anyway, I mentioned here that I have something exciting happened over the weekend.Well, if you carefully observed the KLCC washroom picture, you might have gotten a hint! :D :D :DSomething I have acquired over the weekend. :))))Isn't she a beauty! :))))And no, I didn't splurge my salary on it! In fact, what salary. -_- Yes, my salary (for month of July) will only come in mid-August! The company expects us to eat grass for these 1 and 1/2 months is it! T____T In fact, this is from the ringgit that I have saved up. :))) I decided that since I am going to be in S'pore, I would splurge my Malaysian Ringgit on something! And I can't think of a better investment (ya, bags are investments, didn't you get the memo wtf).In fact, I decided around the time I was to leave to Singapore that I would get this bag, but I was too busy packing and stuff-- so I actually told the boyfriend to help me put down a deposit (money which I gave him-- I don't use the bf's money wan ok), and I myself would pop by Marc Jacobs to get the bag myself when I am back in KL. It wouldn't make any sense if I pay the boyfriend the full amount, and have him buy the bag for me right! 'Cause we all know the bestest feeling is when you walk out of the designer shop with its paperbag on your arm. :PAnd yuppp, usually shops won't allow you to put down a deposit, and come back to get the bag. And this, is why having a bright cheery smile and building rapport with the SAs become so important! :P I was sort of debating whether or not to get the bag a few weeks ago, and started chatting with the SA, and she sort of promised to reserve the bag for me; and she also gave me her contact details! This is why I could call her to inform her that the boyfriend would be popping in to put down my deposit. :)))More pictures!Hello, beautiful gold plated lock. :)))And I also adore the icy blue shade, it's really unique, I reckon! :)And it's quite a slim/flat bag, which is great because this type of bags are the easiest and most comfortable to carry around.And I love the fact that they have 3 compartments-- I can be rather messy!Mmmm. And in case you wonder why didn't I get the Stam instead-- it's really quite heavy, and I feel that the structured design reminds me quite a lot of my Miu Miu Nappa tote!But after I bought this bag, I realized it's quite heavy too. -__-Aaaah, I think my quota for the year has been fulfilled! Next step, Chanel 2.55 WTF.Now now, allow me to go have my happy dreams (BEDTIME!), I promise to be back with more pictures of my weekend! :P OL. Just a short entry here, 'cause I need to go pack, I AM GOING HOME! :D :D :DWhat I wear to work! Since some of you asked me to post pictures. :PYes you're right, that is my suitcase there! I am still living out of my suitcase. :('Cause I am looking for a place to move now. Any of you have any places to recommend ar. I don't think I can feel properly settled down until I have my own place to stay! :(A top that I got recently in S'pore! Love the pussy bow in front. :)Btw, does anyone know why it's called a pussy bow??? It sounds so.. obscene. -_-This Zara shirt's sleeves are too long for me!Haih, perils of having short limbs wtf.Tada, I was wearing peeptoes here, can you see my (chipped) pedicured toes!And the skirt I was wearing is actually a pretty plaid skirt, but you can't see the print, boo.And finally, casual Friday! At my company it's called business casual-- i.e. nothing too informal, but hurrah anyway! :PHaih, the room that I am staying in has wonky lighting-- there are not enough windows, so pictures taken in this room always appear dark and shadow-y! :(Closer look at the top's details. :)))I have set a resolution for myself-- I am going to not repeat my work outfits! Meaning that I can re-wear the items (do you think I am that spoiled wtf), but I won't wear them the same way! :) I did that for my pre-university course and university, and I am going to try it out for work. Of course, this is till peak period comes, and I may not even bother with make up for work. T___TAnd my client next week is Burger King.. And after that, I will be at Estee Lauder! So far my clients are quite cool right. *big shiny eyes* Frozen strawberries. Go visit Velvet Ribbon for new updates! :)Let me scare you all first with a tourist shot of me.Haha, this picture just screams geek right! :PI had a pedicure today! My first ever pedi. *big shiny eyes* But I did an express one, 'cause surprise surprise, time is of utmost importance to me now that I have started working PLUS I stay more than 1 hour away from my workplace. =/ I would have taken a picture of my newly painted nails, but I have ugly feet! Meh.And guess what. I just bumped my feet into the printer, my big toenail's paint is now chipped. T_____TIt hasn't even been 3 hours! T______TMmm, I have a craving for something cold and sweet now!Like frozen strawberries from MOS burger. :))))I first read about these strawberries in xiaxue's blog, and trust me, it is every bit as good as she said it was, and then some! :DIt's icy cold frozen strawberries, sweet with a slightly sour tang; be careful when you bite into it though, you might get frostbite-- it's really frozen! :P And the center of it is filled with solid milky chite chocolate... And when the chocolate melts into a warm gooey mess, yet pooling over the cold popsicle-like fruit.. SO GOOD! :)MOS burger-- I heard that there was a branch in KLCC, but it closed down? =/Jing and Teeny, with their 2 large drinks.We were damn idiot, we went to the counter and ordered 2 large drinks, thinking that the sizing is like the usual fast food restaurants back in M'sia. Instead, the drinks came in humongous papercups! Following that, we started whizzing our heads left and right, realizing that everyone have small or regular-sized ones. Then we started speculating that it was damn obvious we were tourists, and we ate the whole meal with shifty eyes, HAHAHHAHA.Pouting 'cause I had no one sitting next to me, and hence, no one else to be in the picture with me.Teeny decided to grace the picture with her victory sign then. -_-The very tasty shrimp burger.Some pictures of us doing some shopping! :)Not being very vigilant at the pedestrian crossing. -_-At Haji Lane, where most of the shops were closed! T____TSorry, the previous 2 pictures are from Teeny, I have no idea why she likes her pictures so tiny! Is it 'cause of her nickname TEENY wtf.Both my sisters do not like to wear pants.Teeny who thinks leggings are a perfect substitute for pants. T__T And Jing who would not tolerate leggings/pants/shorts of any sort wtf.Why am I so blur in this picture!I think I am just generally a hyperactive person. T_T Either that or a really jerky one. Parkinson's wtf.And I finished work early today! Or rather, training ended early (real work starts next week T_T). So I decided to go get the 3 cardigans that I have reserved which I mentioned here.Well, you know how one thing leads to another... :P Let me show you something I bought today that I really really really like!TADAAAAA!!! Isn't this such a beautiful classic cocktail dress! :)))The lovely fish-scales-like skirt, le sigh.I love that it has this vintage yet timeless feel to it... I don't usually go for LBD's, 'cause I am slightly adverse to the color black, but this dress is totally awesome!!! Very Chloe and vintage Chanel. :)))))Never mind that it is 10 times the price that I am usually willing to pay WTF, I am a working woman now! *consoles self*And my shopping trip (loosely termed so, 'cause it was an extremely restrained one ok) was very fruitful-- I actually found a lot of little shops with the most delectable goodies! :)))) They are a tad out of my price range now (I am only getting my salary next month, SIGHHH), but ooohhh, do I know where I want to splurge my pay on! :PAnd if you want me to tell you where the shops are, COME TO SINGAPORE!This is how I am going to cheat people down, haha!I foresee happy times this weekend! :) Monday blues. For the first time, I fully appreciate the meaning of this phrase. T__TOn Sunday night while being on the phone with the boyfriend, I was kicking a racket on my bed (and getting tangling in my blanket in the midst of it wtf), crying to the heavens for taking away my weekend. T__TBut at least today I finished at 4pm! *big shiny eyes* I can't remember the last time I took the bus/train in broad daylight. T__TAnd I am going home this Friday!!! I am SO SO SO SO SO happy and excited, my panties are in a bunch wtf. What should I dooo!!! Spending time with the boyfriend is a must, I haven't seen him in 3 weeks! And ahem, Bijou Bazaar on Sunday. *throws boyfriend to a side HAHA* And the food! Omg, I feel like I haven't had decent food in so long. The Singaporeans are pretty proud of their food, but hello, there is NOTHING compared to Malaysia the food haven ok! Do you know that I don't dare to order dry noodles here??? Because instead of tossing it with black sauce, they laden it with ketchup and chili sauce. -__________- And bak kut teh! Apparently bak kut teh here is not black in color. HOW CA
