Though academic grades comprising of mostly Bs and Cs arent anything to hooha about :P
Last friday had been amazing.
We hit town right after i gotten my grades via SMS.
So high tech right?
And the worried me did a double check via the student portal as well, just to reconfirm.
Its too good to be true honestly. Consider i didnt really work very hard for the papers...

No more going to bed late; surfing the moon away on VS, Shopbop, ebay...
I need my beauty sleep, period.
Else no amount of eye cream is going to save me.
Oh God. Thats how nasty school hols are for me.
I can just spend the whole day shopping online, checking out the latest bag collection, and basically doing netbish...
U cant blame me! With the super attractive USD rate, even pop likes ebay...
Anyway lets make this a quick one.
Were at Ikea last evening ( woke up too late for breakie.)
Didnt manage to get the sofa bed coz the man kept complaining abt the lack of space in the study room.
We got a Poang instead.
Psst... Im so proud of HB, he assembled it all by himself.
And so to reward him, we got 2 detolf for his SOC's collection...
relaxing... but excuse me, its for me
No date is fixed yet. But its never too early! (Hint huh!)
Dinner was at New York New York.
The meat platter was ahem... but mud pie and service is to die for!
Go if ur a sucker for fab attention from the staff, even on a crowded weekend nite!
Both thumb up!
its my second visit, and the place never fails to bring back memories of LA...
And now im complaining about the yellowish picture taken using HB's Ominia II. I look horribly nerdy...
Top: Turtleneck from Ralph Lauren (coz i had rashes all over my neck)
Skirt: Marc Jacob (i heart all his stuff now!)
Accessory: White Chanel 2.55 Cavier
No makeup = seedy eyes *pout*
- Mood: cheerful
So much so that i have almost forgotten the taste of them. Really.
And so, we home delivered 62353535.
Munching on pizzas, and catching the sea game swimming final on telly.
Bliss!
Skirt: FCUK (not shown here)
Accessory: random chiffon stole
09 red Chanel maxi jumbo caviar
- Mood:
okay
Had almost hit the payment button (for all the oh-so-comfy bra tops in yummy colors) when HB nudged me for his doc appointment.
Am not kidding u when i manage to locate some at cheaper prices when we decided to pop by 313 somerset after that.
(yes! we went public again today!)
Lets all chant Uniqlo together!
The place was in a mess, i wish i can spend as much!
But the recent trip to town had blown a huge hole in the man's pocket.
Im happy with just basic tees my wardrobe is desperately in need of.
I should have taken a couple of pic for today, but the weather was so hot, i just want to dash into any aircon mall. (pout!)
Anywho, i say taking the train is so so easy!
It only took us slightly less than 30 minutes to reach home, catch a tiny nap and were still in time for dinner with the folks! Now, im planning where to go (with my ezilink topped up, no less!) for the rest of the hols!
i honestly like this duck rice from SGH
thats how fab uniqlo's service is, they bother to tape up the tag for all their customers; shades of the ocean and i found a tiffany blue!
closeup of the leggings i swear by even before the brand hits our island!
- Mood:
awake
I heart Xmas!
What about you?
Anywho, we met fab SAs today from all 3 stores.
Which explains the splurge from the man.
Impress him enough and you can hear kaching not far away!
- Mood:
bouncy
Its time to enjoy the well deserved break!
Despite the heavy downpour and everything wet and cheerless, we headed for town.
Its time to do the Xmas shopping anyway.
And what better time than now? Really.
Perfect for its a rainy weekday and HB honestly need to visit the tailor desperately for new working wear!
The haul we bought home:
- Mood: bouncy
Yawn, gotta hit the sack after this.
Still need to wake up early tomorrow.
Its going to be a long day.
Hope everything will goes well! (shall blog more on it in my private entry)
Anyway loots from today's shopping at JL besides the usual lingerie.
And they justify my spending (only spent $55) if not of the entrance tickets to Kitty Lab.
perfect way of spending the weekend away: braving Sitex and people watching with HB
- Mood:
chipper
Besides, today's Retreat session ended an hour earlier. Holly Molly!
Too good to be true isnt it? lol.
And so, headed quickly to CWP, wanting to get the pressie on behalf of the sch for the VP.
We sure will miss him. A few of us were even rounded up to do an impromptu farewell speech by the poolside during lunch time.
Seriously, i hope they will have it shown to the rest of us tomorrow. I bet i look ridiculous with all my hand actions and funny tone of speech!
(And Sarah, thanks for ensuring me over and over again about the FAT's issue. I will survive! Thanks love!)
Up next: Photologs will dominate the rest of my entry!
nibbling on chocolates to keep oneself awake; thats wee kiat, who had taken a better pic of me using his iphone
and so i came home and practiced on the man; am bringing it along for tomorrow's session
the pendant given by the school for my 5 years of service coincide with the bracelet the late granny-in-law had given me during my wedding;
more reason to wear them as a set one day.
Had also bought 2 books for the hols, an ultra huge hair craw so that i wont risk misplacing it again, and this really cool skull imprint stole.
Last stop before heading home: Collection of my babies at Goldheart. They came back bright and clean!
- Mood: chipper
Love them. Love Them. love them.
tale capolavoro adorante
They have so many stuff i swear by.
And who can say no to their eyelash curler?!
Though i was super tired from work, we were at Marina Sq this afternoon, soaking in the coming Xmas spirit.
Popped in their outlet to grab some sweet for the colleagues who volunteered their help that the other day.
"Lunner" was at Cafe Cartel. Super yummy, or is it because its a beautiful day? Hmmm....
the poor man was so hungry with no food the entire morning while i reported back for work
and the SA was so sweet to pack all my goodies in this santa looking eco bag!
im so addicted to their xmas city line, and this london hanky will come in handy the time we visit London again!
Exam is over, been there, done it.
Arent going to cry buckets for mistaking this particular female SIN poet as a Malaysia poet.
Duh... Just leme clear this!
even wore my fav jumper for extra luck
Reception team, annual dinner and dance.
Woh, all within a day, u say it again.
Seriously. But its fun.
And terribly satisfying now that everything has ended beautifully.
The HB took me to Melting Pot for dinner on Thursday nite. To size up the car park, the man said.
But secretly, i think he just wanted us to have a post exam dinner celebration, Heh heh
with the man i love so mwah
Food selection is really so so. No food pictures as we didnt eat much.
While the HB enjoyed his, i spent mine replying SMS to the hotel's operation manager.
Lovely guy, who even got me a front carpark lot when the topic of my lousy parking skill came out.
No joke. Im off big time in small diminutive underground carparks.
Anyway, frontal service is good at MPC, but the waitress served me the wrong tea instead of Earl Grey.
I must really look stress out! Hah!
Bright yellow Chamomile instead grey earl grey label? I have no idea whats in this cake, but the tangy burst are so unforgettable!
Had worked more than 14 hours on Friday. Wanted to catch some winky over at pop's before setting off for the hotel.
But the short afternoon was spent bitching with the folks. Grin, we are having dinner tomorrow nite, Philip's treat!
The whole group of us left the school at 4pm, reaching the place at perfect time.
Didnt park at the promised lot as the colleagues' cars were right behind.
Had went into the carpark crossing my toes secretly i wont injure Lace.
The gals who were with me gave me much confidence. I even managed to park on a "humpy" lot.
And when the manager called mentioning he had spotted my car at the underground car park, I am so proud of myself!
Thanks to colleagues who offered their extra help, everything was done and ready before 7pm.
(Photos coming up next!)
Million thanks to Oliver and Ivan of Holiday Inn Atrium, we managed to snag lovely grey table cloths that match this year's theme:
A Black and White Affair
while everybody were hard at work, thanks peeps! All 188 bottle done in the midst of laughter from 12 super nice people
The doorgift for all, (matches my kitchen tiles so much!)
And i won a $50 Isetan shopping voucher! More shopping!
- Mood: bouncy
Had to have them done this week somehow, coz i will never have the luxury for that come next week. Am crossing my eyes that they will last till next Friday for the D&D.
Its exam first, follow by the prize giving and before i know it, the day is here.
Period.
Anywho, the pedicure session was well spent replying SMS to colleagues tying up the loose ends...
Imagine sending 45 SMS messages within the 1 hour and 15minutes? Pretty impressive i must say!
Visited Mustafa like finally this evening. Have never ever been there before in my last 29 years of life.
Today seems like a perfect time since the HB wanted some hot pipping food for dinner.
We decided on Seoul Garden and remembered vividly that there is an outlet at City Square Mall.
To sidetrack abit, the outlet is having 1 for 1 on weekdays besides Friday(though), so drop by for fab service.
At least i did! Attractive servers, charming waiter who topped up drinks so often i lose count...
Its been yorks since we visit the restaurant, i think the last time we ate there was like 5 years ago? I have no idea about the other outlets, but this one works pretty much like Sakae Sushi; click and the staffs will bring over your food. Their mixed berry and oreo vanilla with nata de coco ice cream are yummy. U should give it a try.
Oh right, back to the trip to Mustafa. The place is huge, and honestly, it isnt as bad as i thought.
I would have love to shop alittle longer if not of the rain.
(We took advantage of the free parking redemption at City Square and decided to walk there instead)
There are so many things to see and check out. I am so amaze by the way the cashiers keep the money in their drawer.
So retro, so unseen these days in SIN!
i could barely open my eyes after a week of tough work; the interior decor is so different from what the memory serves us
flushed after all the bbq-ing; there's a halo above my head
thanks to a blog friend, i found the shoes im super smitten to that actually flatters my ankles
its world kindness day, and HB receives 2 gerbera daisies
- Mood:
busy
1) On Food
2) On Shopping
3) On how a beautiful saturday should be spent
It can be so easy; when expectation is lowered
Devoted the whole morning with the last few chapters of "Mistress of the game" while the man was out busy making appointments for Lance.
Arent terribly impressed with the ending (well there isnt any, strictly saying) and what can u say when an amateur like me detected errors such as "Singaporian" and "thick, blond mop of old", when it should be "gold"?
Anywho, none that i can think of can really replace the great Sidney Sheldon. I say i will give it a 2.5 out of 5, really.
We had a simple dinner at Lerk Thai Marina Square this evening.
Im trying to keep to my resolution of blogging less on food since even the face seems rounder and fuller these days.
But i simply have to blog about this particular staff from L.T.
We have always enjoying dining at this particular Thai chain. Staffs are always attentive and polite, maybe its just how they treat one another back in their own country. The one who was leading us to our place was all lovely and pleasant. But i cant say the same to the one who took our order.
Upon hearing we are sharing our orders, he had asked rather loudly do we need extra plates for them.
Be it sensitive or whatever, i dun see the need for him to repeat the sentence "Do u need extra plates since you are sharing your food" at two occasions. (roll my eyes) I mean we already had an empty plate each.
Anyway maybe im too passive... Or i should have say yes to the request...
A older Caucasian couple came in asking for a window seat when its packed with diners. However none is available. Can u imagine the same staff walking to yet another couple and requested them to give out their window seats?!
The HB was saying that if a similar situation happens to us, he will have walk out of the place immediately. I guess the young couple is simply too kind hearted. If not of their lemon glass drink which resembles mum's, i will not bear with this either!
we didnt opt for a window seat, prefering having a cosy cushion corner; all time must order: Seafood papaya salad
we were sharing these, and its when the staff started to be rude
delicious bee hoon and 6 pcs tago
i look tired with no makeup on
Actually we were out xmas tree shopping. IKEA has some lovely live ones which will be really difficult to get rid of after the festive season. Had wanted to check out the ones in Carrefour, but they arent catching the man's attention. We ended up going home with no Xmas tree; but a new head gear for my coming D&D.
i hope this will look good for the event; posing with my newest love! Isnt she yummy?
Speaking of which, outfit for today was this long jersey dress i bought awhile but didnt have the chance to wear as yet. Because of this spidery coweb straps in front which totally spolit the look, i have them sewn together while the man was getting ready.
the before and after
am counting down to xmas!
- Mood: bouncy
Hate waking up tomorrow. Hate the Monday Blue.
Hate thinking what to wear to make myself feel better...
Anyway, its been a lousy week.
With Pucci warded to Mount Pleasant for a nite on Tues.
Tons of exam papers to be marked over the weekend. Yada Yada Yada.
But the fact that i got to pick 2 PM figurines the HB bought me as our anniversary pressies never fails to cheer me up!
And we finally watched a movie after months of sticking to the DVDs.
MJ deserves better than the Blu Ray honestly.
Minus the fact the huge lady in front of me who was swaying along with all the songs i had to pat her on the shoulder, its a great show! Go watch it! If you a fan like me, or not a fan like the man.
Happy tots for the week:
met the gals for dinner last monday at New York New York AMK Hub
first up: 2010 members' only figurine; look how sweet the pout is
2nd: Bought the newer version of the O21, after all the in house discount provided by Jessie, HB paid only $61.10 for this
3rd: The man was rather skeptical that i might get a double of this, i swear i dun have this yet; look how the sandals resemble my Chanel
MJ tee from last nite's movie; coloured tights from PP Isetan; only $5 each!
lashes still very intact after a week!
some jealous freak scarred lance so badly he needs a new paint job soon; boo boo!
Shame on you, whoever you are!
- Mood:
listless
Coz we were up early, visiting the Bugis temple with the inlaws, rounded up with one of the most delicious Thai food we ever had at some coffee shop nearby. U tell me, pineapple rice for 4 person priced at $5, along with 3 other side dishes, the father inlaw paid only $18 for everything.
I ate enough, swear to begin the diet plan from today onwards. (am sharing the takeaway subway with the HB for dinner in awhile; to disgress alittle, i think of London whenever we eat subway.)
After dropping the folks home, we set off for City Square Mall, located 15 minutes away from where we stay. Nothing really fab since most of the shops arent exactly open for business yet, except for the many eating places and my all time fav Metro. (we even shook hand with Mr Batman. Didnt take any picture though despite the SA wanting us to as the man prefers the Astro boy. But honestly between you and me, i kinda like Batman the most among the rest of the super heroes. Simply coz he is the richest, hah hah!)
Anywho, we bought the MIL 2 tees, and i managed to snag home a black chiffon top and another tier dress which will be so perfect for the new week. And oh, if ur a fan of kose white mask, do go down and grab yours! They are selling like hot cakes at $18 each only. (Im not sure of the usual price, but im very sure its very much cheaper since every customer is only entitle to buy 2!) Also spotted is the limited edition kit and makeup bag KOSE has collaborated with Kitty Lab, the exhibition will be on next month at the Singapore Expo, are u going? Well i am!
Im also uploading my newly 'implant' eyelashes for all to see. I thought they look pretty good since i only pay $57 for them. Its just the face washing that is making me crazy! Seriously i hope they dun drop off so soon, though i have already found one strand on my shoulder awhile ago. Boo boo.
i hope these work well
And for those who shows their concern after my previous post;
Im trying to live with my fats, so dun worry too much for me.
Pink of health is definitely more important at this age!
- Mood: chipper
The HB and I headed for the much looked forward to Expo Metro Sale.
Went home totally satisfied, armed with Friven's anti dust mite bedlinen protectors, clothings and more clothings.
Have i already mention clothings?
Monday was spent over at my folks, shopping at CWP in the afternoon.
Looted 3 new reads using my diner card's popular voucher for the next few days of PSLE marking.
Its such a steal, everything had only cost me $30!
Alrighty, im feeling super lazy already.
Pictures next!
a case of super bad water retention on a beautiful sunday mid day, i hate this!
the family
the crystal shines on us; i heart this pair of shoes, perfect for work!
discovered these honey pots at CWP's watson, ideal for my committee members after the annual dinner and dance; my new reads!
cupcake treats from crystal jade, i bought 2 boxes!
- Mood:
FAT
But weather was bad. And there is no sign of the celestial body.
Seriously, i have looked everywhere.
Anywho, something to share:
I was woken up by my bio-clock early this morning, thinking its a working day.
Gosh, had even hit the man hard on his chest, telling him we were late for work, till he grumbled loudly "yeah right, its Saturday and ur late for work."
Oops, it must be the stress coming from the recent work. (totally embarrassed)
#PX-6 eyelashes + Heidi Klum glitter eyeliner from victoria secret
Saturday lunchie was at Kim Gary Vivocity. Its our first visit and food is tasty enough.
Now, if only their yuan yang is thicker and creamier...
Had also wanted to grab some last minute mooncakes for the folks. But whats left were either the very expensive or the not-so-well-known brands...
The HB ended up shopping at montagut and left 30 mins later a happy man with 4 brand new shirts for work :)
My hot and spicy noodle is perfect on a rainy afternoon; while the man seeks comfort in the chicken chop
Headed for the nearby Keppel Bay for some 'couple-time' at TCC as vivo was overly populated with kids running around.
The man cant stands crowds too well.
do excuse the coffee stain; his coffee and mine
the man was getting bored due to the rain; the orangery lighting is no good for photo taking
stayed till 7pm before heading back to MIL's for dinner and more mooncakes
- Mood: awake
Didnt do exactly well for the first one. At least i think so!
While one's complies to the 100 words requirement, i wonder why are the others writing paragraphs after paragraphs? Anyway, im still sticking to the word restriction.
Rather to play safe. I guess. Its my final lap, jokes aside please.
Alright, back to the lighthearted side!
signed off note that makes me tingle all inside;
the concerts and everything else had finally ended with a good punch!
and i told u i deserve a pedicure treat, OPI in a lovely shade of metallic "Copper Mountain Copper"
Manage to also purchase the foot cream i swear by for the longest time but has since gone missing for awhile.
I have their callus remover for at least the past 5 years. They have really good foot products.
My wedding band is back! Customized and totally shiny! Yippee!
They even showed me my previous ring to prove the one im getting is brand new.
had dinner at this Jia Xiang Kuching Restaurant while waiting for Jason to come back from his.
The food is acceptably yummy, but a tad too pricy for my liking since this had cost the man $30++.
spot my new toy? Its a gift from HB!
stopped by watson after that as i have been itching to try the bubble mask from follow me. Its 1/4 of what i paid for my previous oxymask.
- Mood: bouncy
With moi reporting to school at 7.30am for the oral duty, and the man having his first paper at 9am.
While trying to keep awake for the rest of the day, moi cant wait for the day to end so that i can meet HB for dinner and mooncake shopping at CWP.
Had dinner at Siam Kitchen after suffering from a sever case of craving for Tom Yum. :)
they have really delicious thai food; and HB still manage to look incredibly awake; i wonder why?!
Gotten mooncakes from breadtalk for the folks this year. The festival is just around the corner, and we hardly have the time to drop by Takashimaya. Please dun ask me hows the taste though; im never a fan for mooncakes with all the yolks, they are so sweet they often give me headache.
The evening ended with the renewal of my PM membership with jessie. Its beens yorks since we metup. She counted and told me its been a year. OMG.
Anyway i was awfully disappointed that the figurine for next year is nothing to hooha about. But the figurine the HB picked is! And i wasnt even aware that i had in fact blog about it awhile ago!
Here i present: (You capture my heart #840063)
arent they such sweetie pie? In fact, he is holding a digital camera!
Something that makes me smile on a super blue monday:
She drew me in my actual attire for today but i have no idea why is there a tiara on my head
- Mood: cheerful
To date, i have recently acquired:
1: Medium white caviar double flap which i lovingly called The #1
2: Classic CC ear studs
3: Matching CC pendant
4: Camellia jellies from last year collection.
(Yes, all thanks to a friend who manage to dig this from the States)
its time to pay another visit to my current fav pedicurist!
Next up:
1: A Jumbo and i will name it #2 (for obvious reason)
2: A Cambon tote in python double Cs
3: Can i request for another pair of jellies? Coz its so comfortable u can run in them.
4: Well, if not their mary jane style from 09 fall collection should do the job fine too!
- Mood: cheerful
simply because one is too tired and getting all 'yawny'.
Yawnz.
Nite peeps.
Will update again maybe over the weekend.
I need my beauty sleep.
Desperately. Period.
was over at the comex over the weekend with the HB and co as we needed another DVD player. The previous one had retired for good a couple of months back, and i was so deprived from my "i-cant-sleep-because-its-monday-tomorro
Had dropped by Sakae Sushi with the rest for lunch after that. (see what i mean, i can eat there practically every few weeks or so.) boring
the man had been having this real serious case of craving for korean bbq for the looongest time. And so when MIL wasnt cooking dinner on Monday nite, the two happy campers rushed home after work, changed into our oldest tees and headed for the nearby Jang Shou Korean BBQ. Im not kidding when i say their marinated lamb steak is oh-so-yummy, even the man who is never a fan ate 3. The place is cozily comfortable, frequent mostly by the Koreans. And the bottles they served their ice water reminds me so much of the days when we were in korea.
Its a must try, if u are okay with the 'bbq' scent empowering u. well, i get pass it, simply because they serve wicked shiitake mushrooms for grilling! grin.
isnt this a doll? the HB got me the cupcake from crystal jade the other evening. simply yumz
was out since 7am this morning for oral made-up, went back school for 3 periods of lessons before leaving for my course in the afternoon. gee, the whole day was spent basically doing everything besides teaching. lol. the course ended thankfully before 5pm and i managed to squeeze in sometimes to window shop alittle at AMK hub.
and oh, its the dainty wife in action this time. moi bought back dinner for the man from amk tonite: Japanese bento, spring chicken, curry puffs, all washed down with orange juice. At the rate im going, i dun think i can fit into this newly acquired tunic from some store i cant rem.
shall end the entry with the happy campers; moi with my newly cut hair and the man along the F1 rally street tonite.
wink
