Non-stop talking

Chili's
Tanglin Mall

As usual I'm late to meet Sha.
I'm not late late but cos' I lost my way. I couldn't locate where the carpark entrance was!
I was so "sian" to drive round & round in Orchard Road.
Thank God for the invention of Apple's Iphone GPS application!!!
I couldn't find my street directory bible in my car!
Where has it went to???

Mr. B dropped by to say Hi for a while cos' he misses me.

I had a 3 hour dinner with Sha talking about nothing in particular.
It's always nice to chit chat with girl friends...

I love the scent that Sha uses from Bath & Body Works
so I pestered her to get me when she travels to States.
She's so generous to pass me another set of lotion & spray
(besides those I requested for) from VS to test out.
Now onwards whenever I smell like sugar & vanilla I will think of Sha Sweetie!

Girl friends are the best!
Real friends listen, advise, have fun together & are always willing to go the extra mile without expecting anything in return...
I'm loving it (YOU)!

Halloween weekends

301109
Downtown East Resort
---
I was lazy to take out my camera, so some photos are straight from phone camera, please don't complain okay?
Ms Huang is exhausted from work!

Taking attendance:
Blur Mable didn't know we have already arranged for chalet & blah till the day itself. How sotong can this girl be?
Ying'er still have 1 more exam paper to prepare so she can't join us.
I caught Caleb celebrating Halloween at I-don't-know-who's party on FB (HOW DARE YOU)!
2 super stars (YS & ZH) were working, so you guys are excused.
Yanyan had rehearsals so she couldn't make it for the gathering too...
Gavrill? Holidaying with Claudia in Europe!!!

We are not drinking alcohol or partying like most youngster are on a Halloween night.
We are the down-to-earth, simple & decent kids (LIKE REAL)...
Not everyone is going with the idea of dressing up,
so Rach & I decided to give it a pass too.

I think QianQian's camera is really cool!!!
See the soft & vintage-looking effect!
The whole image looks dreamy...

We played the stacking of brick game (not too sure if it has a proper name) & loser had to do prank calls. The "winner" title went to Rach. She had to call Jonathan @ 11pm to trick him into believing that she lost her wallet or something along that line & needed to "borrow" cash from him. Jonathan actually buys her story.
He's such a sweet guy, lah!
I kept a copy of the video for the call.
It's private, not gonna show ya'all. Haaas...!
.
.
.
Subsequently, we played the game Murderer.
Loser had to get out of the room to shout/ do something silly.
I think our neighbours must really hate us for making so much noise.

How can a gathering be a gathering without group photos?
We let the timer mode lend us a helping hand...

I absolutely LURRRVEEEEEEE this one!

Chalet Day 2

I didn't make it down to the chalet on 2nd day.
It was raining real heavily & I HATE rainy days.
It brings some bad nostalgic curse...
+
my stomach wasn't feeling well...
After struggling for hours @ home,
I made up my mind to give the "fun" a pass.
It has nothing to do with anyone okay? I'm just not in the mood.
I do miss everyone & still love you guys alot alot!!!

Left:
I went for lobster porridge with Mr B. on Fri to curb his cravings...
Right:
Mr B cooked me plain porridge & miraculously produced 2 dishes out from whatever ingredients he can find in the fridge. I stick to a sunny side up & pickles as the 2 magic dishes tasted a little burnt. It was extra effort & he's really sweet.
100 points for score but I can't finish all lah.
You know why... Shhhhh!

Another reason why I love you

Oh yes it is you, my dear Fifi!
I fell in love with the limited collection bags,
especially the one with ballet shoes print.
*FYI, SG doesn't carry this design. *Claps
France is famous for ballet besides old world wines right?
I'm so into both... LOL...
Thanks for your help to get them fly in from Paris!
I can't wait for next Monday...!


It might seems silly to get a white base cos' it gets dirty easily
(more when I tend to throw my handbags on the floor or car boot)...
Seriously, I don't care..! Or I should treasure my shopping?
I recall having a Agnes B travel bag which I never use when the base got stained after bringing to Mediacorp once or twice. It's still in perfect shape cos' I ONLY used it twice.
Wardrobe is always cramp with tonnes of people walking in & out,
thus I dump my bags on the floor while waiting for fitting.
My Agnes B (1 of my fav.) ended up as a storage bag for my other bags at a corner of my house...
Poor thing.


B & I were discussing to take a trip early next year.
Looking at Perth for horse riding & one of the world most beautiful beach (according to Vy),
or anywhere that my family wants to go holiday to.
Personally, I wanna go Korea or Taiwan.
Eat, shop, massage, sight seeing... Whatsoever!
Due to some unexpected circumstance, I doubt B can holiday with me...
I hope things can be iron out ASAP.
I'm going to start fasting by give up an addiction to pray for God's blessing. Many doubt I can do it. Oh well, nothing is never with God's strength. He will see us through.
So, don't tempt me...!
Anyhow, this long handle travel bag should be convenient + rommy enough to throw all my beach stuff in.
If not, it will still come in handy for a 3 days 2 nights retreat anywhere, anytime!!!

BFF ( boy friend forever) ?

Everyone has a secret, or something hidden in their closet. Simply put, I also tend to block out things like ugly photos or incidents I don't want others to know even tho. my entries are all quite up to date I believe. I decide what I wanna mention in my entries. Sometimes I rather speak of what's on my mind here & not confide everything to a close friend. I don't expect my computer to ask me who, what, when, why & how...
---
Good stuff, it's a crime not to share with explicit details. Complains I might whine alot too. As for upset feelings when I get emotional, I tend to touch on it & move on... Maybe the world is sad, people like to hear/ see people go down. I prefer to only radiate positive ions & neutralise all the negative ones. I don't like saddist, or pessimestic people as friends. If my friend is having a bad time, the more I must stay strong & be there to lend a helping hand/ listening ear. If I don't, least I try not to further upset the person. Is trying to do the right thing the right thing to do?
---
Bloggers might seem to share everything to the public. I like to think that we still hold back alot. We only put up what we want others to know. If it's something I avoided discussing for as long more than a year, maybe I have my reasons. Or I simply really don't know what is true & what's not after so many lies. To be honest, I have yet to get my fair share of answers cos' he avoided confrontation. The sad reality is that we both loved each other & we just can't talk anymore or even bear to look at each other faces after I-don't-know-who-what-when-why-how. I have absolutely no idea what went wrong. I just gave up & walked away ultimately. Maybe I should have hang on a while more to work things out together as an item but I was exhausted & really mentally drained. I never regretted walking out of the whole thing. If you are not getting answers from the other party, I have not, too! I have nothing else more to share & I don't think you really cared. Probably I was wrong about about your intention. Neverthlesss please don't ask for the sake of asking. Should you bring the same thing out & it's meant for a "hot topic/ story" for all to hear only, be sure you think thrice. Cos', I'm really offended. It's senstive & close to my heart. Even it's already history.
---
Sorry that I didn't turn up for the gathering. I can't recall when was the last time I spend Halloween at home doing random housechores when I don't need to. It was raining & my gastric gives me problems whenever I gets agitated. Seeing everyone brings memories back. All the good & bad + all the laughers & tears... I like to stay away & hide under the sheets for a while... I know I'm forgiven. Right? To the rest, I do miss you... We will catch up, soon...

Let's talk!

It's been a super long day @ work ( 11 hours straight!)...
No matter how tired I'm,
I feel that I ought to blog about this interview with Omy.
For full details, check out the link below.

*Disclaimer: You might not agree with what I'm gonna say, just giving my 2cents worth.
To be honest, I wasn't 100% sure what the interviewer was asking over the phone when she called me at 11am last Monday. She did try to ease my confusion by asking many specific questions but only 1 comment was posted on the final draft. And true enough, I don't think I'm affected with the law that might commence anyways.
---
After reading her article, I presume the article was asking if we bloggers should be careful on what we say on our blogs (what about freedom of speech & writing on personal cyber space?) & also, to give proper credits if asked to write an review for public awareness? That is, of cos' (in my view) all real critics should be paid, unless it's not a formal thing on their own accord... If not, why are there critics (as a profession) in different industry? The more well know & respected the critic is, the more their words weigh. A simple comment may/do change how the world thinks... ***I will want to be a food or wine or even fashion critic sometime***
---
Someone shared with me that a blogger was asked to had her entry removed after giving negative opinion dining in a particular restuarant. I don't encourage people to say nasty stuff, unless needed. But then again, its her own blog & her own view, what's wrong with commeting? Many of us talks about what we eat & do daily. It's becoming common anyhow. Maybe the food, hygiene or service were truly aweful? I really don't know if she's responsible/ guilty for slander. Anyways, it's not my business.
---
Many a times, I was approached & requested to put online blogshop links permanently on the side bars of my blog & I have refused a dozen even tho. they are willing to pay me a sum of money as premium. Like I have mentioned, I don't want to commercialise my blog just yet. I didn't take a single cent from the stores which I talked about in my earlier posts. In return of the favour, I get to pick a few items as a token of appreciation for going the extra mile for photos with me wearing them besides adding a liner to their merchandise. If I didn't like their stuff, I will still reject the invitation.
---
With my marketing major & also experiences in commercial modelling, I realises that in successful marketing, users/ bloggers/ models/ ambassador, etc should really feel for the product that they are advertising or talk about. Isn't it more convincing to the public when they say/act from the bottom of their hearts? How can I go around donning super fair complexion & claimed I have been visiting this wonderful tanning salon? Chances are, if we are paid to be the "walking" advertisement, somehow or rather we have to project the way the client wants. Least to feel obligated when $$$ is involved...
---
I can go on with this topic as a thesis & publish a "book" on this post, but I just wanna summarize everything... I feel that using famous bloggers (or my case, I just happened to be blessed with really royal & supportive readers) for advertising do work, regardless what bloggers say. True or false doesn't really matters. Unless for example, stores wanna mislead/cheat on purpose! Now you know why I love shopping online- even for luxury items. They look good & are known to be of good quality, even with all the camera tricks and blah... I still buy nevertheless! Same for online fashion stores. If you want loyal & returning customers, do gain our (as consumer) trust! Don't show only pretty & flawless photos, cos' we won't go back to you! You know it... Don't blame on someone entirely just because he/she made a 1 time complain/review/whichever on how lousy the materials are in their blogs.
---
Bloggers should be free from whatever they want to express! We are real & put our identity, reputation & open secrets out. Least we don't hide ourselves like anonymous cyber bullies! Why no one spend additional time tracking, stopping & punishing these people for sending threats & insults instead? If we criticising stores out loud is a crime, who should define the whereabouts of justice for destructive criticism towards bloggers? You tell me!!!

Sucker for designer's

China Square

I went to set my hair w Fifi & Jo for an fashion event later at night.
The hairstyle turned out to be disastrous.
I thought I look much better with straight silky hair!
Probably the stylist just can't do what I wanted.

According to Ris Low's dictionary,
item below are considered "Boomz"- to me...

I saw the Steve Madden feature on InStyle magazine while doing my hair.

I bought 3 pairs from the flagship store @ ION last Saturday after my hair cut at Matsuo's.
I thought they are supposed to be good & comfy but 2/3 pairs gave me blisters & cuts.
I ain't too sure if I wanna try on the 3rd pair.
And fyi, they cost a bomb even tho they really cute!
Make sure you feel really comfy when trying on before you purchase.
Maybe I have gotten the wrong size...

I thought the shades look real good!!
You think so too?
