Inner lace spag: Gift from sister from Taiwan, Shorts: Mphosis, Jacket: Thrifted, Bag: Nine West

I haven't been writing a lot so I guess I'll just update a little about what's been going on in my life. Other than the fact that I've been so busy with school, the boyfriend's enlisting into the army in 4 days' time. If you know me, you'd probably know that I am extremely dependent on him. So I guess this is an inevitable ordeal that I have to face. Oh well! On the other note, I apologize for not updating regularly. Schoolwork has been driving me insane. =/

Celebrated one of my bestfriend's 20th picnicking at Marina Barrage yesterday. Sorry if my updates have been slow. I've been so busy with schoolwork. Because I have absolutely no experience in drawing/sewing/basically arts-related stuff, I got to work doubly hard compared to my classmates. Still going strong, yes!



Anyhow, I received this award from Valencia. Thank you so much dear! (:

Celebrated the boyfriend's 20th birthday yesterday with a simple movie and dinner date. Caught G.I. Joe and then dinner at Aston's. I love adrenaline-pumping action-packed movies!

If you're up for some sick humor, you got to watch The Hangover! I don't know why I liked it but it's fucking funny, you guys have got to watch it!!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been really busy with school and I'm so tired every day, both physically and mentally, though it's still the induction week and classes haven't officially started. I've coughed out almost SGD200 so far (more to come) on materials, a toll on my retail therapy regime. The last thing I bought was a cardigan from online, courtesy of the boyfriend. (: Will post a picture of it up as soon as I've received it! At the mean time, here's a picture of me and other faculty mates with our design on the mannequin. We were asked to create an outfit out of newspaper and masking tape inspired by the design characteristics of a designer/designers in one hour.

Does wearing heels burn more calories than flats?
I personally feel that it does, because having to walk in heels strains the legs and we need to use more energy to walk around...? Haha, I don't know. Let me know what do y'all think! I googled it but I couldn't find any reliable sources. =/

On a side note, the new school term officially starts tomorrow! I hate having to adapt to a whole new environment.. making new friends.. Need to stay positive, yes!

Yesterday was mine and the boyfriend's 4th anniversary. We visited the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition and I was blown away by the works of Da Vinci. He was a polymath, a scientist, a mathematician, an engineer, an inventor, an anatomist, a painter, a sculptor, an architect, a botanist, a musician and a writer altogether. How can a mere human achieve so much?! He fascinates me.



We had dinner at this bistro restaurant call Sweet Indulgence. The food was good and the dessert, Warm Choco Lava Indulgence, was ORGASMIC. The warm chocolate cake on the right side of the picture is the highlight of this dessert. Melted dark chocolate oozing out when our spoons cut into the cake... god I feel like eating it right now. =/

Ps: I am so shocked that I got an overwhelming (nearing) 1,900 views today!
Pps: I am curious where my readers are from! Singapore? Manila? Sweden? Seriously, please comment and send me some love from wherever you are!!! :D

Feeling curious about the title of this post? I was, too, when I saw an e-mail with this subject title you know I just had to click on it and check out what it is all about. And then I saw that picture. The first thing that caught my eye? That necklace with THAT key charm. And it's not just any key, it's a one-of-a-kind vintage, handmade skeleton key. Wow! (This is not just a "You have to buy this!" post, it's for a good cause!)

Quote from the 823 Key Project website:

21,398 keys, 26 artist grants, one vision: 823KEYPROJECT. It’s about uniting 823 people—and the work of one enterprising artist—through a common pulse, a thread that links the contribution and purchases of many to the creation of one vision. Through a series of one-of-a-kind, vintage, handmade, skeleton-key necklaces, 823KEYPROJECT will grant musicians and writers, painters and photographers, travelers and revelers the proverbial key to showcase their unique interpretation of the world with an emphasis on authentic and community-minded work.

The money from your purchase of one of the 823KEY neckpieces will be placed into a fund. Once the 823rd key is sold, that money becomes available to artists in the form of a grant. The grant will be awarded to an artist or artists whose vision of a more beautiful world frames a broader perspective of life while redefining art. The 823 keyholders will forever be tied to the project—and one another—not only through monetary contributions and a neckpiece, but also through artist updates, show openings, and project developments.

On another note, I've received my earrings (by Drink Me, Alice) won from the le blog de Sushi giveaway! It's so pretty!!!

What I wore last week to my sister's graduation ceremony.

I've been looking for a pretty swimsuit to wear it as a top but I can't find anything that is cheap and good anywhere. Zimmermann or Emilio Pucci aren't exactly on my budget list, y'know.

Jeans: Topshop, Shoes: Steve Madden, Bag: F21, Necklaces: Diva/Mphosis

Those pair of jeans and my Steve Madden are like siamese twins. Pair them up together and you get legs as long as the Great Wall of China. (I know I am over-exaggerating. Hahaha!)



Check out my new lipstick from Silky Girl!

Was in town on Saturday to check out Orchard Central, Singapore's first vertical and tallest mall, with shops up till the 8th floor excluding rooftops at the 11th and 12th floor. Most shops aren't open yet, so there wasn't much to see. Didn't really like the idea of it being a vertical mall, I get bored of traveling up and up the escalators. Haha.

Thursday night.
The three ladies that you see in these pictures.. they are my bestest girlfriends. Whenever and wherever I am with them, I can be myself. <3

On Wednesday, I accompanied my cousin to check out a number of bridal boutiques and try on some of the wedding gowns. I gave my take on her choices, made some choices for her, and helped her change in and out of the gowns. What I got after that were a free dinner and a free ride home, but most importantly, the thrill of helping her choose her wedding gown (a once in a lifetime thing). I was so excited when she asked me along and it was so much fun. We were spoilt for choices! I felt like trying on the gowns myself too, hahaha.

I'm so happy for her and envious of her at the same time. She never had the best of everything, and now it's like everything is falling into place. She loves her job, loves what she's doing, and she's found the one (not just anyone, the 100% RIGHT one, I am extremely sure of that) that she is going to spend the rest of her life with. Being contented like that - that is the most important thing for me.
