Color of the day:




Well I read somewhere that the color Green actually helps improve eyesight.

Really?






Still sticking to my colorful week- as promised.



I read something on Her World magazine today that made me hopping mad.


It was a survey, done with random men, and the question was:




"Us" in question, referring to Women.

One answer left me raising an eyebrow and snorting in disgust.




"Maybe because girls don't necessarily have to work for a living, so they give up or break down more easily"

Talk about male chauvinist pig! The nerve!
I mean honestly,as a woman, would you REALLY want DICKson to be your colleague or boss?

I can SO imagine how he is only ever gonna view you as secondary to his magnificent MANLY self and someone who has little or no control over her emotions if you, god forbid, dare to show even the slightest meltdown.

 EH DUDE, SEE:





Oh and hey! Even Lily Allen has something to say to ya!







I rest my case! ;)


/Ta!/

I mean,honestly,if its such a cheerless and depressive color, why do almost everyone I know have more than a couple of this shade in their massive wardrobes?


Black is powerful.
Black is sexy.
Black is safe.
And black is literally foolproof.

Check out my site, its been Black for god knows how many years.
No one's complaining- I sure ain't.



But in lieu of my very sweet friends who expressed their concern over my colorless life, I decided to embark on a one week breakthrough - To go without black clothing.


Today's color is:








Survival guide Day 1:





Try to forgive the skirt as there are some days, a girl would be unwise to wear lighter colored clothing.
I even forgo my favorite leather watch (yes,black) for a steel bracelet one.



So there you go.

More tomorrow.

/TA/

I gripe.
This world is too fucking small.
Someone is always friends with someone else you never ever wanna set eyes on.
Facebook is becoming a disaster.
That, or I have too many friends.




You ever feel that you go through life monotonously and wishing you could do so much more with the time you had on earth? My life seems dull these days.Every my blog is starting to look lackluster.
I wake up, go to work,eat, shop, spend time with my mates, go home, sleep. And its the same cycle everyday.
I think the only thing I seem to look forward to these days is my upcoming nuptials.
No amount of shopping,partying,holidaying seems to brush of the feeling that I'm getting bored...of existing.

I hope I'm not sounding emotional or worst, suicidal.
I couldn't be happier with what I have at the moment and enjoying it with the people I love, but I guess a part of me just wishes there was more. I don't even know what that "more" is.
Contentment- The one thing we all seek and seldom find.






John Little is having a 20% sale for Value Plus members.
Woo hoo!
I finally get to buy the Shills products I wanted- highly recommended by the variety show 女人我最大.




I was super disappointed when I didn't see this in Taiwan when I was there this July.



Basically, its a gel that turns into liquid when you shake it!
You shake it, apply it to your face, it hardens, and you wash it off 10 minutes later.




Comes in 3 variants,

Azelaic Acid- Lightens scars





L-Ascorbic Acid- for Whitening & Brightening



Hyaluronic Acid -  Hydrates skin




Can't wait to try it :) Its $19.90 before discount and can be found in all John Little or Sasa outlets.




And something random that made my day:


 my current favorite home decor.




I call it The Skeptical Feline








/Ta/

XOXO :)

Magazines this month are getting really great sponsors!

I bought Her World and Harpers Bazaar.




OPI's base coat. Ralph Lauren perfume vial. Colgates toothpaste. Laneign skincare set. Kenzo perfume vial.

How cool?

Utter generous.

I'm tired today. Had a really long day. End here.

Was asked by a very sweet Twitter buddy to "provide me with a short quotation about the qualities of a good mentor for my upcoming biz book."

I'm flattered, and flustered. I know nothing about quotes and my ideas usually come spur of the moment...plus I usually don't quite plan the things I write.

So... this is what I came up with:




And he seemed ok with it!
Hows that for an amateur try!

 

Super angry at work today.
Fucking hate it when imbeciles "teach" me how to do my job and BEST- get it all wrong.

CHEE. BEH.

Officeloves had a good time laughing when I related to them my brush with moron of the year.


Ok enough. He is not worth me mentioning on this blog.







Retail therapy with Chipmunk at Ion!




Have you seen the very beautiful Christmas tree outside??



I estimated a guess- and its at least 4 storeys high!
Look closely and you can see an entrance leading right into the tree...




And this is what you see inside!




A burst of lighting that just reminds me of snow flakes and stars in the universe



I love it!
Kudos to the person who came up with the idea.




I brought Chipmunk to see my new loves:







He says he has seen nicer shoes.
I hate my fiance sometimes.
Poof. There goes my boots.


Strolled around aimlessly and stopped at Bread Society.

 

I've heard so much about their loaves that I bought 1 cranberry cream cheese and something else called Black Sesame society. I hope I won't be disappointed!


It was fun just slowly exploring Ion with Baby, even if I didn't buy very much.

I saw the pink fluffy pen displaying outside Etude house and I just HAD to get it for my sis.



So I ended up buying some nail stickers and got another mask free!
I think there's a higher chance of getting better free gifts on weekdays when there aren't so many people patronizing the store.



We popped by the popcorn store (pun intended!) - Cornery.
  They sell the most outrageous flavored popcorn!

*photo credits to cornery's facebook page*



I bought butter scotch!




And if you buy the largest bag, you get to mix any 3 flavors into it. Go wild already!



STAGE Cosmetics was having a sale too!




Its my first time trying the brand and I'm in love with their concealer!
Its creamy to the touch but turns kinda powdery when you apply it on.

The shade pictured here is (03)"Porcelain". Well now you know how fair I am.
Drats.

 


And my highlight of the day was when I found 2 more books ON SALE by Jackie Collins, plus one by the hilarious Meg Cabot!




Oh oh!  I am one happy girl.

Goodnight people, hope your next bargain hunting shopping day turns out as fab as mine.
