I apologize for being a bad blogger. Andy's been away for 3 weeks and I feel like I am slowly fading away. I know 3 weeks is nothing. But hey, don't judge if you don't know me well enough. I wish I was stronger, and I am. But a battery won't be able to last long without its charger. And it's times like this when you find out who are the ones who stand by you when you're at your lowest point.


Hello you! Hahaha. This one here has been through a handful of my lowest points. I thank you and I thank God. <3

"When they finished laughing they were on their way to being not just friends, but the dearest of friends, the sort of friends whose lives are shaped by the friendship."

No outfit pictures (been working with no mood to dress up) so I shall seek solace, or rather, find literary inspiration (sort of), in quotes.

"…beauty, she had discovered occupied a narrow band. Ugliness, on the hand, had infinite variation."
- Atonement, Ian McEwan

"Why does the mind do such things? Turn on us, rend us, dig the claws in. If you get hungry enough, they say, you start eating your own heart. Maybe it’s much the same."

- Naked, David Sedaris

"He had never thought of himself as much of a praying man, but as he sat in the car in the growing darkness and the minutes passed, he knew what it was to pray. It was to will goodness out of evil, hope out of despair, life out of death. It was to will dreams into existence and spectres into reality. It was to will an end to anguish and a beginning to joy."
- A Great Deliverance, Elizabeth George

I could sit here and "quote diarrhea" all day but alas, I ought to prep for work already.



Ps: I tweet more than I blog.

Movie night!


And more food. =/







Andy is a very unromantic man - a blockhead, a friend would say. But sometimes (okay, more like rarely), he does the sweetest/cutest thing, like picking up a flower and placing it on my ear when we were lounging in the pool. It's probably nothing to somebody else. But I think I fell in love again. <3



"I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it."
- The Notebook, Nicholas Spark

Fullerton Bay Hotel, 13th - 15th May 2011. Part I.







Both avid photography enthusiast, we spent a good 10 minutes taking pictures around the room in silence.

I had major indigestion after the hotel stay because I drank too much of the coffee. =/




Robe, slippers, headpiece: fullerton bay hotel. Haha! Bonus unglam picture of yours truly, man I looked like I was drowning in the ensemble.

Intention was to dine at somewhere really posh, but we ended up at Marina Bay Sands' Coffee Bean Bistro!








To be continued.

Andy's been gone for 4 days, but it feels like 4 years. This is not going to be easy.

Ps: Just received the Lepel 'Fiore' All Over Lace Shorts (see previous post titled "can't wait for these to arrive") but it's too big for me. ); Tagged size UK M and EURO 40-42. Any takers? E-mail me at [email protected] if you have any enquiries!

1. Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense (after skincare routine in the morning)
2. Neutrogena Deep Clean Foam Cleanser (day and night)
3. Bio-essence Hydra Spa Energy Moisturizer (day and night)
4. Colgate Plax (recommended by my dentist)
5. ZA Concealer Perfection (I usually don't put on a lot of makeup because I'm a lazy person, but this concealer is a must for my panda eyes)

Ps: Apologies for the blurry image. Didn't realize that it was out of focus until I uploaded to the laptop.

Rented a car for the week and Andy and I headed to various brunch venues that are relatively inconvenient/inaccessible without a car. Please pardon me for neglecting the blog, Andy's leaving in 6 days' time so I've been spending almost 24/7 with him. On the other note, I have an obsession for all-day breakfast!!!!!

Brunch date 1: Hatched @ Evans Road




























Round 2.


Look how thick the pancake is! YUM.

Regretted wearing the fitting, midriff revealing top immediately after the heavy meal.




They gave us this bib-alike thing to wear around our necks while we eat. It felt silly, for a second haha.


Sort of like couple wear because we wore matching royal blue color, heh.

Just look at the pool will you. 3 days/2 nights here I come!

Celebrated mother's day with Andy's parents at Universal Studios last Saturday. As kiasu Singaporeans, we queued 45 minutes before ticket sale (which was around 6:15pm or so) under the crazy hot sun for the $5 evening entrance fee. My god, the sun... don't let me start on it. I almost blacked out while queuing. Frigging sauna it was.

Dinner at USS Hollywood China Bistro. Food was so-so, service was bad. ):














Happy Mother's Day, Aunty Lee! <3




A very adorable Uncle Lee, heheh.






My new water bottle for home use!




The fireworks was AH-MAZING. So many pretty colors, and the gold ones looked like sprinkled gold dust. Absolutely magical.

Ps: Spot that Zara paper bag. New shoes heheheh coming up next post! :D

Spent the whole afternoon at a girlfriend's yesterday. The plan was to swim and tan but the weather wasn't cooperative, so we ended up pigging out, swam (a little) and just talked. The topics of the day was.. anything and everything actually. From the recent Singapore elections (happening this Saturday, my first time voting!) to our love lives to complaining about our mum/dad's OCD-ness. Time passed super quickly, it was good.




Watched The Naughty Kiss on cable and had Japanese take-out and some soya bean goodness.




The weather looked promising for a while so we headed out for a swim. Weather is a serial liar.


How the weather looked like when we went for our second lap round. I commented that it feels so cold and my friend said, "It's psychological! Okay imagine that you're in the desert, 40 degrees outside. You're very hot, and you're ddddddyyyying to get into the pool." Now who's being psychological, haha!


Then it started raining. Like, all the way till 5.




Retreated for a shower, some coffee (pretty coasters!) and a great chitchat session. <3

I was invited to Mango's Spring/Summer 2011 presentation at Shaw Centre yesterday.


Crowd at the start of the event. Amount of people escalated in lightning speed and I thought I was going to suffocate. Just. Too. Crazy.




First thing we did when we entered the premise was to head over to the photobooth area. Yup, cam whores we are.


These tiny muffins (or cupcakes?) are soooo goooooood. Just don't eat the green-colored cream, it has a weird green tea taste.

Amongst the rather disorganized event frenzy.






This color combination reminds me of my Zara pouch. <3!






I was swooning over this skirt. But alas, this skirt is not meant for mere mortals (read: short) like me.


My guest (one of my longtime good girlfriends) and I. (:


Goodie bag that came with the catalogue, the shopper tote...




...and the bottle of candies that had alphabet letters (that spells Mango) on each of them.

I am a happy girl, considering the generous amount of colors in Mango's latest collection. I must confess that my obsession with this season's color palette is at its absolute high.

Off to harass Andy, who's been studying for hours now. I am his (self-proclaimed) stress reliever heheh.

As much as I'm enjoying my holiday and can't wait for the 3d/2n getaway with Andy, it's exactly one more month before he leaves me for Aussie. Time passes too darn fast and I feel like I'm still struggling to come to terms with coping without him for a year. Oh well... life.

During the shoot:





Many thanks to James from La Mode Outre!

For a moment there I thought the models were going to walk out in Calvin Klein underwears and change into their outfits when I saw the clothing racks in the middle of the runway before the show. Disappointed I was when I realized that that was not the case, but I guess half naked boys sufficed. Hahaha.

Gifted top: from bkk, gifted shorts, braided bracelets: from bali, belt: bershka, watch: kenneth cole, rings: gifted from m'sia, diva, shoes: charles & keith

Everything that I mentioned as gifted above are all from my mum, haha. I didn't realized that I was wearing an outfit filled with the gifts she bought when she went overseas, until a friend pointed out to me. She then goes on about how my mum apparently has good taste, which I beg to differ... a little. Mama has her hits and misses.

Counting down to next Tuesday and I will be free from dreadful school for three months! I want to travel but I need the moneeeeeey. Holiday job searching soon!

Just one more week away from my final year project dateline and the holidays wheeeeeeeeee!!!
