MOVING ON...
I've been bad but I've been good.
I apologize for being such a terrible blogger. I've been really busy filling my life's schedule with so much goodness and happiness I hope you dearies understand. How was your holiday? (: Mine was a blast. And I promise that I'll update about it soon! For now, here's a little something from yesternight.
Caught Wicked with the p.girls and it was SPECTACULAR. The entire stage was so brilliantly done up and everything felt so magical. Now I only wished that I had gotten the more expensive seating right at the front of the stage. My eyesight is failing me terribly.
Late night drinks at Bazin after. Al fresco seating and facing the beautiful night lights! You'll be seeing more of me in glasses from now on. A scar on my cornea means I'm not allowed to wear contacts anymore (or at least not as often, I hope).

Thought I'll share some photographs from a shoot I did for a classmate's project. Everything was taken in her room and she has the the cutest props!

Have you said your thank-yous today?
Did you know that last Sunday was World Kindness Day? If you were in town last weekend you would have seen an expected number of 500 (KIND) volunteers in sky blue shirts giving out 30,000 yellow gerbera daisies. Well, in conjunction with World Kindness Day, Singapore had our very own Singapore Kindness Movement event and I was very proud to be involved in this event together with 3 other bloggers – Velda, Sofia and Leonny!
That’s Leonny’s son, Levi. Isn’t he a cutie? She brought her three children along and these little ones were so excited when they received their SKM shirts!
Clad in Topshop floral shorts to match my very own SKM shirt!
Attended the media conference at Orchard Exchange first, where we were told more about the Singapore Kindness Movement and introduced to makesomeonesday.sg, a SKM website where Singaporeans are encouraged to share their ‘thank you’ messages and to join the Kindness Ambush video contest. You need to check the site out, really cute and interactive! Plus reading all those feel-good thank you messages? Cheap thrill at its best. More about the Kindness Ambush video later!
Just look at those yellow gerberas! Such a happy-colored flower, very fitting as the official flower of the movement.
With SKM Mascot, Singa, along Orchard Road at the main event ground!
Velda snapping a picture of this pair of twin cuties!
One of the kind volunteers and kind Lydia from Nuffnang!
Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) and adviser to SKM arrived and flag-off begins!
Sofia, Velda and I – ready to spread some love and kindness!
With Daniel Ong, kind host of the day.
Say thanks, make someone’s day!
I had a fun time ambushing people and giving out the gerberas. Though it’s pretty hilarious how some people think that we’re out to get donations! Singaporeans…. Hahaha.
And here’s how to join the Kindness Ambush video contest:
Upload your Kindness Ambush here to win one year of unlimited Singapore Cable Car rides from The Jewel Box at Mount Faber. 5 lucky ambushers will win a pair of Singapore Cable Car tickets plus a Jewel Card membership for a year of unlimited cable car rides, Sentosa admission and other privileges worth $91. 5 ambushed will also be rewarded with a pair of Singapore Cable Car tickets worth $52!
For me, the kindest thing anyone has done for me was during the car accident that happened to me early this year. If it weren’t for this uncle (a friend of my mum’s actually), I wouldn’t have known how to handle the situation in the best possible way. THANK YOU UNCLE A! I’m sure everyone has someone to thank for being kind to him or her. Have you said your thank-yous today? (:
With the Nuffnang girls. THANK YOU and SKM for having us at the event!

REAL tea at TWG after, hahaha.
Attended the Singapore Kindness Movement with bloggers Velda, Sofia and Leonny. More about it in the next post!

Can't wait for term break to start after Tuesday's submission. Till then!
22nd Becks' Day Week
So I turned 22 yesterday! Had a whole week of birthday celebrations with my various groups of friends from all around, some planned and some unplanned (which came as happy surprises). Though Andy wasn't around this time, this entire week has been filled with so much love that I deem this year's birthday a pretty awesome one! Here's to the next one. (:
Ps: Pictures below prove that I'm hooked on the camera editing apps in iPhones. I am a iPhone-Blackberry-back to iPhone convert!
Dinner with the pilot's gfs. It's amazing how we've became a tightly knitted group of girlfriends in a matter of five months. (:
My best mates from Lasalle. <3
Girlfriends for a decade!
Caught In Time with Val and after parting, I exclaimed to her in Whatsapp that we didn't take a picture together. So I ended up with this image of her through Facetime. Thank God for video conferencing, heheh!
Modeled for a classmate's project on Thursday and they surprised me with a cake after! It was funny because the initial cake they wanted to surprise me with was eaten by S' dog while they were preping outside the room I was in. Very sweet of them nonetheless! (:
This was another funny surprise from the mp girls. Kel demanded that I change behind the backdrop (which is weird because I always change anywhere in the office during photoshoots, haha) and I refused. Then she secretive gestured to Sharon but apparently her gestures are incomprehensible and Sharon was like "WHAT you still want to eat?!" Hahahahahaha. But they still managed to surprise me after all. (: Having had organized surprises for me for the last two years, I think they'll have a hard time thinking of more surprises in the years to come! Hahaha. Loving the metallic gold Kate Spade phone pouch they got for me!
Starbucks christmas coffee lovin'!
Chanel Fire thanks to D. <3
DIY birthday card from my sisters!
Showing off my birthday card one too many times.
Nail polish shopping on my birthday.
But of course, amidst all these love, I wish that this joker boy was here.
Hope you guys had an equally fabulous week! xoxos.

Well I've been extremely busy with my final year projects that I can hardly breathe. Been trying my hardest to take it easy while running on a super tight dateline. Just one more month before I'm done with this semester, and another month before I get to see the love of my life when he comes back for his one-week break! I'll get through this somehow. (:

My lousy perming experience at the salon. Hair straightened straight after first wash. ): I had to perm it a second time. I think my hair refuses to curl up at will.

Addicted...
to muesli with yoghurt after I got back from Perth, much thanks to my friend Glo's "rabbit food" recommendation. Which is a good thing because whenever I feel greedy, I make myself this healthy snack of mueslix with strawberry yoghurt.
It's actually not the actual muesli. This cereal has cornflakes and raisins in it as well, but it's a great addition to the taste.
It's not even a lot but it's really filling. Soooooo yummy!
Top: mum's, bottom: mp, belt: ck, bracelet: h&m, earrings: diva, shoes: j.los, bag: vincci, watch: michael kors
Loving the dotted and gold details on my mum's shirt. Guess it's mine now. ;D

In the train to Midlands before cabbing it to the guys' base for their national day celebration.
With Zara, one of the officers' dog.
The boys playing tug-of-war. 100% concentration!
Half an hour of frantic shopping (because the shops close at 5pm) once we headed back to Perth.
The best Jap food ever for dinner!
Breakfast at London Court Cafe on the last day.
Muesli with milk!
Last minute shopping!!
Eventually got used to the cold. MAN I LOVE THE WEATHER.
And more last minute shopping!
Home (not so sweet) home.
And finally... fifth and final day in Perth. It's been exactly a month from the first day I visited Perth and I'm missing that place with all my might. Seriously, living in a laid-back city is THE way of escaping the hustle and bustle of life. I remember frantically looking for a restaurant at 7pm for dinner and finally settling for MacDs because the streets were void of people and MacDs was near our hotel. I remember walking past this busker, who only plays the violin after all the shops close and the streets had quieten down with the sunset. In contrast to this crazy lifestyle I'm having now, I would give anything to go back there. Oh, and of course, mostly because Andy's there too.

Best thing about Perth: Coffee in the morning!
Best thing about Perth #02: Second-hand bookstores.
The boys wanted dimsum for lunch and the girls objected (because why dimsum in Aussie when we can have all the dimsums we want in Singapore?) but to no avail. Boys in foreign western land deprived of chinese food = final decision makers.
To the Swan Bell Tower after brunch.

Outlet shopping at Harbourtown!!! <3
Got into a car accident on the way back to Perth CBD in the cab. 3rd one of the year. I'm an accident magnet. ):
Grocery shopping at our favorite supermarket, Woolworths, for the boy before they head back to base that evening.
Korean food for dinner. Boys won, again.
Advanced birthday celebration for Andy. The cake was meant to be a surprise but that cunning boy saw through us.
Years fly by, but the heart stays in the same place.

rare moments
To Ikea on Monday with some classmates with the intention of buying some things to decorate our common room. We ended up with 200 crazy pictures and a small mirror.
Dress: ck, innerwear: cotton on body, watch: michael kors, bracelet, rings: diva earrings: sportsgirl, bag: colette, sandals: vincci
Yup, we totally messed up the bed.
And another bed.
Just one of those rare moments where I am able to stop stressing about school work and have fun a little.
