House warming/movie watching/plastic burning


What have I not done this weekend.


I was a good girl though, all I bought was a pair of shoes.



High heels/studs/fab color/strappy. WHATS NOT TO LOVE!

Will you believe it, I'm actually pretty broke, and its 2 weeks more to pay day!
This just never happens to me.
Ever.

Well now you know just how costly dental bills are in Singapore.

/boring./
Reining in the wining.dining.shopping.boozing.whatever-ing.


I'm still in love with 2 pairs of boots from New Look and I soooooo want to get em!






Knee highs in dove grey! Black and tan is so yesterday!




Ankle highs that are both work and partay appropriate. And best part? IN MY SIZE.


I WANT I WANT I WANT!

If you knew you were dying, what would be the last thing you'd want to fulfill?

A jolt of reality about the end of the world.
Humanity cease to exist.
Everything that you know will be no longer.
2012 is one of the most depressive and sad movies I have ever watched.
Everyone should watch it, it'll give you a further wake up call to save the earth before it vanishes.


P.S: Mike your condo is lovely. Can I go take a dip in that massive pool sometime soon?

Shopping with the sister.
I
MISS
HER
!
I haven't shopped with Julie in ages because time is just such an issue these days.
We had fun planning the wedding details,laughing at the salon and just spending girly time together.

Tea time at Jams, Ion Orchard.
An in house cafe of the bookstore,Prologue.

We totally pigged out.



The huge array of cookies to bring home if you so desired



Is it just me or does everyone in the cafe look super happy!



1 brownie, 1 strawberry shortcake, 1 chocolate cake, 1 earl grey lavender,1 latte x 2 people eating



The pastries look lovely!







Earl Grey Lavender. This smelt so good.



Yums!



We can see Hyatt from where we're sitting!



Its one of the rare times that I ventured into town during the weekends but I'm so going back to try out the food again.More new cafes have popped up since the last time I was there.


Jams is located inside Prologue bookstore at:
#04-16 and #05-03 Ion Orchard.

THE/RANDOM/BITS

Everyone has a "good angle" when you take photos don't you?

I think mine is when I tilt my head slightly and smile into the camera.

Today I decided to take full frontal photos and establish just how big my face really is.

HAHA- Enjoy!











An attempt to look skinnier!





And here's one of me looking freakishly like the Blythe doll I found online.
Minus the huge nose and eyebags!

 


Ok sleepytime.
7am call and seminar to attend.

Companion of the day: Part II




There's so much here, I can officially be accused of being a druggie.



I was sick-free for a good couple of months and the tooth extraction pretty much broke my lucky streak.
I realize it is my own fault now that I'm violently ill and stuck at home because I didn't heed the advise of everyone who told me to see a doctor instead of waiting till things got worst.

9 out of 10 times, I hate being ill. I moon around at home and get bored to death and no one's free to talk to me.
My gums are crazy swollen and my throat is so sore my tonsils feel like the size of elephant balls.

Talk soon people




And life the night before:


Met up with PIC for dinner at Ion since I've strangely never eaten there before.
While waiting for her, I hopped over to Kinokuniya in Takashimaya SC to buy something to read and kill time.


I was slightly tempted by Female Brides (sgd$7) and it definitely helped that they were giving away Keratase Hair products.
Brides-to-be, you'd definitely want to get a copy of this magazine - the content is uber useful especially if you haven't booked your venue. I also love some of the dresses I've seen in there!




On our way to dinner, we stopped by at Etude house.
I've bought enough in the past to qualify as their member and I've heard so much raves about their chin and nose patch that I had to give it a try. It was almost always OOS when I went in the previous time and I got lucky yesterday!


PIC is right to say that "Etude House is so generous with their give-aways."



The nose and chin patches packaging look so cute with the dolly faces in front I'm almost reluctant to use it.
The mask I got as a free gift when I entered the shop and you can exchange your receipt for the fluffy pen shown on the right. (PIC insisted I get purple- her fav color) After my 7% VIP discount, I spent $1.65 in the shop and got all the above. Worth it, no?


We shopped at Ion Orchard and stopped at Sephora and I fell in love with a couple of items.




Ended our outing at about 10pm when I realised that I was burning up like mad and my nose was running like a leaky faucet.

Recieved another surprise when I open The Body Shop bag and found that PIC gave me 2 bath lilies instead of just one, which I told her to help me get last week.




Its from The Body Shop's christmas edition and I adore the bath lily in black/brown! (Black Velvet Apricot series) Most bath lilies are usually only in pop candy colors so I fell in love with dark one when I first saw it!

Thanks for the beige one PIC! OPI shopping next please!



Reached home at half past 10 and pretty much crashed with make up and work clothes on and I didn't surface till 3am. Total faux pas I know, but the last thing you remember when you have a raging temperature.


Of to bed and I just KNOW i have a mountain of work waiting for me when I get back tomorrow - Sigh.





Here's a little something to cheer you, and me up. A tag that came with the keychain that Bear brought back from
Hongkong.



So so cute!


/ta people!/

You know, trips to the dentist are usually full of surprises.
I meant to go for quick scaling, some polishing and definitely abit of plaque cleaning....

AND I ENDED UP EXTRACTING MY FUCKING MOLAR.


CHEE.BEH!


Apparently, half the tooth had already decayed and it was either root canal treatment:




which is OUCH OUCH OUCH on both my nerve endings and my wallet ($800++ ok?!) or just extracting the painful bastard and getting it over with. I chose the latter.
It helps that my dentist is cute,really gentle, didn't force any useless treatments on me like my previous one PLUS, he has a sexy British accent to boot!

I shalln't share which dentist I went to. I want to keep him all to myself.

LOL!

Cheered myself up by going to Uniqlo to try their highly raved skinny jeans and I received another surprise..


I'm down from a 29 to a 27! Does that mean the diet's ACTUALLY working?!?!
Gambatte to me!
The weight is still stagnant though.. so I can only hope the fats shifted to somewhere more welcoming.
Like my boobs.
Bwahaha.

They weren't kidding when they said their jeans are uber comfy.
And at $70 a pop, it doesn't break my bank either!
Plus they have a huge selection of colors. I have my eye on the white ones!

Lunch at Say Cheeze!

Well I didn't eat, no thanks to the gaping hole where my molar used to be!

 

Love the cartoon art at the back!






Baby perusing the menu with a strange look on his face.



Minestrone soup.
According to Chipmunk, it really isn't that sour. I do love that it has crunchy croutons on it!






Mushroom spaghetti. My fav.
I'm wondering if he just ordered it to annoy me and watch me drool helplessly.
It looks soooooooo good.



I will totally go try when my gums heal.

Say Cheeze! is located at 10 Tampines Central 1

Met up with V at GWC for coffee in the afternoon.

Zouk was having their quarter-yearly flea again!





$10 sales! Who can resist? Obviously not me.
None of us left empty handed that day.

I was lucky to find all brand new loots with their tags and seals still intact.

I got a houndstooth printed dress... so in time for F/W 09!
And a couple of branded skincare from Biotherm and Kiels.
I'm one happy chick.



If you want to keep up with trends that don't go out of style. Black & White is a pretty safe bet.





$3 Lattes and $8 Martinis to celebrate.
The good thing about Zouk is that they never water down their drinks no matter what promotion they're having.

 

Ok it was abit sad that we weren't given glasses for our cheap martinis though. LOL




And a sneaky peekture of me taken by one princess.




Gum aching like crazy so off to bed I go.
Here's leaving you peeps with some words of wisdom I ripped from a magazine:




/ta!/

I love this song and it totally reminds me of how I felt for someone:


CHRIS DAUGHTRY - OVER YOU

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

I seem to be doing alot of apologizing on my blog these days.
I think I read somewhere that being over apologetic may not necessarily be a good thing but oh well.


I read PIC's blog today and it really gave me the inspiration to blog, so thank you C.T :)
First up..I think you are right.
Friends come, and friends go.
As I grew older, I also realized that friendships are not free, and they take effort to maintain.

We mayn't be the closest of girlfriends but I am the sort who'll never be friends with people I don't trust to begin with. So I hope I haven't made you feel otherwise ok?
Here's some signs that you matter to me: (READ THIS ALL MY FRIENDS!)

1. I bother to reply your sms and calls- even if its really late.. or 2 days later.
2. I ask you out and wait for you to be free - even if you're available only 2 months later.
   
3. I take photos with you and bother to blog about you.
4. I randomly sms or msn you about stuff even if its really stupid.
5. Ok thats all I can think of for now anyway LOL!
   

I think you wouldn't believe that in my younger days, I would have prolly be classified as "unpopular" and maybe even "wallpaper". I was the kind who waited for people to ask me out, felt extremely exposed in larger crowds, didn't dare to do anything new, was insecure and self conscious and mattered very much what people thought about me. Its either just me, or a phrase that everyone goes through during pubescence years.


Carpe diem- which is Seize the day in Latin.

I think now that I'm older (and hopefully, wiser), I've shed all that insecurities that I had.
I don't bother much about what people think or say about me as long as the things I do didn't hurt or affect others.
And I have to say, I'm really alot happier and carefree.
If there's one thing I've learnt over the years, is that you cannot please everybody.
Be thankful, for the handful of friends to carry you through the years.


So here's my THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND! post to all my dear ones.


We all "classify" our friends one way or another. Here's mine:


Shalove, the oldest friend (14years!) and female bestie

 

We've quarreled, we've disagreed. I don't like some of her mates, she doesn't like some of mine.
We hated each other when we first met when we were both 9. Some people marvel our friendship because we can be such opposites. Our ethnicity is different. And through all these years, we have never failed to pick each other up through the falls of bad relationships, family problems, disaster friends, work & study stress. We've cried, laugh, shouted and basically lived life together.



X.G, the god bro and male bestie. (9 years)

 

Many many years ago, we "tried" to fall in love, and it felt like incest so we quickly gave up.
 It was considered a "Taboo" to have the opposite sex as your best friend when you're in your teens.
Everyone was convinced that we were "together" and lying about it.
He fell in love with a girl who was convinced that I was evil and tried to get us to end the friendship.
I was furious with him, but I waited for him to come back anyway.
Years past,and we didn't give a damn what others said.
Now he's just Shalove in a male package, and the most non-judgmental person I have ever met.



SW- a little sister to me.
And the one person I will always be indebted to for introducing my husband to be to me!



We don't contact as often as we used to and yet when we do, there's nothing that we cannot talk about.
She feels alot more like family than a friend and even side by side in silence is comfortable with her. Sleepovers are common, especially when we have something to cry about. There's really nothing I wouldn't do for her.
I think she knows it, and yet she never ever takes my love for her for granted.



The Elitist- the best 姐妹 anyone could ask for



6 people, who couldn't be more different.
If we told people that we got to know each other from a forum and that we'd only been friends for over a year,people would probably gape in shock. We've gone through job changes, break ups, new relationships, marriage, family problems, work stress and god only knows what else and we were always there through all the hardship and joy.
I'm pretty sure the saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" - was made for us.



Fruity Obese Kan - The do anything friend



We first met in our late teens. And I was the first to find out about her pregnancy.
We lost touch sometime when she gave birth. And when we met again, it felt like no time had passed at all.
Everyone needs a go-getter friend, and someone who motivates you to move and she's mine.
I admire her determination to get by the worst in life and never let it bring her down and in some way, I ground her when she's in "unrealistic dream" mode. She takes criticism from me very constructively and I appreciate the people that I can be utterly honest with.
There's not alot that we wouldn't do when we're together whether its chilling, clubbing, spa-ing, going overseas, tanning.. you name it, we'll do it.



The Buddies




When we go out together, its a sight to behold because everyone of them tower me at least a head, even in my highest heels. The kinda guys that have seen the bitchest in me, the emotional melt downs, the worst of my temper throughout the years and at the end of the day, still accept me for the way I am. When I have a "male" dilemma, they're usually the first to know.


Then theres DDD, Val & the WLNY gang, Fairy and the ofcgangs, Jee, Feng, Cong, PIC..
ex colleague..ex boyfriends...ex forum mates that though no longer make me a big part of their life, will still be treasured nonetheless and i am always extremely happy to hear from whenever they pop out of the blue.

Dear friend, if I haven't mention you in the above, you either:
-Have not been talking to me enough!
-Haven't really got to know me very well to know what classifies as a true friend to me or
- I simply forgot.


So mates, once again THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND! and I love you loads.

Meeting up with Shalove today.

E.G SEASON 2!


Dinner at Sour Puss
Strange name for a restaurant.






Food was mediocre but I absolutely love the soup!

Its made out of 3 types of mushroom!



My boring and unappetizing beef balls spaghetti.



Sha's beef burger




The onion rings, a tad too oily for my liking



Even with the sad unappealing food, its a pretty good place to chill out and Sha and I lounged at the sofa seats for ages even after we were done with our meals. It was amazingly peaceful and quiet for a Friday night - perfect to catch up and keep her up to speed about my wedding plans!






Got home and Baby gave me a surprise.

I told him I missed LongHouse Goreng Pisang and he bought 10!




Also bought a new drink to try.




Get your tasty collagen source!



Meeting with the JMs tomorrow, can't wait.


/ta/!

I had a breathtaking day at work...and not in a good way.
I'm so fed up with all that short deadlines plus having to deal with a pervy person didn't do much to improve my mood.
I think I'm going bald soon, from pulling all my hair out.



Would have been a completely ruined day but really simple things totally made up for it.

Baby called to say that he found the last of the Jackie Collins Santangelo series of books that I've been hunting for.
WHOOPEE!




And I headed to my favorite chill out place whenever I want to browse..and not have to buy.

FR3B~
The new girl behind the counter was really sweet and I'm sorry I didn't catch her name! There was another lady there who remembered me and she even asked about my wedding plans and asked if I'd been busy and that she hasn't seen me in over 2 months. Isn't that lovely? She remembered!

New loots:




And nothing works better than a little retail therapy after work.
(More skincare!!)




Even managed to buy a pressie for Fairy's upcoming birthday



And then dear Fruity Kan called to tell me that Chic is out way before it's stipulated date.




Hurray!


I'm so obsessed with GG that I did a quiz today:




And I'm Serena!
(Whom I love by the way)


Ok so random.
Off to GG Season II now.



/ta/!
