When I Fall in Love... With Both

One of my fav movies of all time. Never fails to get me all teared up and weepy at the end...

Here is their link to the trailer if you're interested! 

The amazing theme song:

Anyway, TGIF! 

What I wore... and Other random snapshots!

In random order.... (No thanks to Blogger.com!) 

Took a fabulous family trip to KL to celebrate The Mum's birthday
over last weekend and obviously, the trip would not
be completed without A&W.  
Hunted for it high, low and everywhere before finally we found it!
Even when people tell me it does not exist anymore.
The lamest part of the story?
There was also another outlet in the shopping mall
of a hotel we were staying at.
And we spent 1/2 of cab ride and 2 hours of walking trying
to find it somewhere else.
One of the biggest face palm moment. 

Pic of my bruise taken from the Bangkok trip last Oct 2011.
Fell down on the most awkward position possible! Don't ask! 

A looonnnggg time ago - Wanted to get this top on a whim because of the prints
but the sizes left were either too small or too big.
But thankfully I didn't get it anyway, the fit just wasn't right.

Sincere apologies for the lack of life over here. Had been crazy busy. I know it has been AGES since my last post! Whatever happened to keeping to one of my blog's resolutions to blog frequently anyway? (That is why I never make any New Year's resolutions since forever. All rubbish I tell you.) 

Anyway I am ever so glad to be returning back here! Hope you enjoyed my first post of the year! 


TGIF EVERYONE! 

Aladdin

It is my yearly tradition to catch Wild Rice's Pantomime and I hate missing out any! This year, I caught Aladdin yesterday with The Friend and it was fabulous! Can't wait what Wild Rice is up to for next year's Pantomime! 

For Your Intimates...

Saw something incredibly interesting recently!

Yes, it is a bra bag! How convenient, especially for travellers!

Makeup Manic Me

Lately, I have been super obsessed with makeup, expanding my makeup collection and skincare which is something new for me especially when I never had any interest in the past. Yes, only clothes, bags and shoes hog my mind previously!

It must be Sephora. Really. I love Sephora. Going to Sephora is the same as kids going to Disneyland. It is the only beauty store that makes me smile the moment I step in. There is always something I want to buy, there is always something that catches my fancy and there is always something I need to buy like NOW. It is the place where logic does not exist.

Dangerous place, I must say.

So The Friend and I are planning a huge spree next month (which is in practically in a week's time) and I am uber excited! Not right now because I am still in the midst of collating so I would have a rough idea of what I would like to get (if I don't collate, my bank account will never recover from the sheer torture). There are so many things I want to purchase and try out, especially since new products were introduced to me recently.

Hmmm, I am considering the idea of doing a beauty haul so let's see how it goes then!

-----------------------------

Anyway, these are what I wore this week:

Striped top: Esprit

Black jeans: Cotton On

Pink flats: Charles & Keith

Bag: Bugis

Necklace: F21

Vest: Calvin Klein

Top: Cotton On

Belt: Bugis

Skirt: Bugis

Shoes: Charles & Keith

Bag: Bugis

Necklace: F21

On Tuesday, I..

Wore...

Blue shirt: Random

Black tank dress: Cotton On

(Does anyone agree that they are getting way too expensive?

Or maybe I am simply too accustomed to paying cheap prices for the clothes previously. Oh well.)

Sneakers: Converse

Necklace: Forever 21

Sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarers

Comfort shoes for a half day full of walking and shopping with The Mum and The Sis. Yes, Tuesday was VERY crowded. Walking around and trying to find a good place to eat in Orchard was a nightmare for a person who does not love crowds like me. But nothing stops me from having a good time with them!

Wore my fav ring...

Excuse my fat and stubby fingers. Pardon my marker stained nails. Love my ring. Don't you love how crazy and huge it looks? Pity the diamond on the bottom lip dropped halfway through the day. Sighs.

Had yogurt twice...

Have I mentioned I LOVE yogurts? Had them twice that day! Got to try Sour Sally's choc flavour with aloe vera toppings which was good but Red Mango's Mango flavour was... kinda odd. I still liked Red Mango though! The first flavour I tried from them was (I think, if my memory hasn't failed me) melon and it was awesome.

That pretty much summed up how I spent the last day of my long weekend. How did yours go? :)

I am Procrastinating.

To do list for this weekend (just part of it):

1. Pack my room. Massive amounts of clothes have overtaken the entire space, leaving me nowhere to walk.

2. Stop procrastinating. I would need to pack my room eventually.

3. Be ruthless. Get rid of things I would never wear anymore.

4. Stop hoarding. Pack everything and get them ready for the flea sale.

5. Stock up on contact lenses.

6. Finalize on restaurant choices for The Dad's birthday dinner.

7. Finalize on a restaurant for the all girls' dinner on Monday.

8. Oh yes, time to get off this laptop and start!

I Succumbed

I took the cab twice this week because I was running late!

Dammit, I was doing insanely well.

BUT, I did not buy the shoes and pants as mentioned! BUT, did buy a pair of black pants at 50% OFF instead!!! (Jumps jumps excitedly)

Almost Succumbed into blowing off my bank account at Topshop yesterday (saw too many goodies I love!) but thankfully, I remained sane and told myself, I WILL not exceed my monthly shopping budget. And since I am nearing it, the Topshop spree will come next month. Yes, I have a shopping budget now. I AM A REFORMED SHOPAHOLIC! (Beams proudly)

HOWEVER, it's still too early to say as the month is not yet over. But I really enjoy not having to worry about my finances.

:)

P/S: Sorry for the empty promise, this week has been super dramatic where I sprained my left wrist, got my left eye swollen and battled slight fever. Will start posting tomorrow! Watch out for the mega post planned. Be prepared to feast your eyes...

Trembling Hands

I can do this.

I have not taken a single cab ride and shopped AT ALL for the past two - three weeks. From the time leading up to CNY till now.

:)

Then shit happened...

:(

I have just dropped over a hundred bucks on new clothes plus a bag and about to spend a few more on the pair of shoes I recently saw (too cute to pass up!) plus some pants which will come super handy for work. CRAP. I was doing so well.

BUT, this is justifiable spending. The new shoes I am about to buy? Too cute, will look so pretty on my feet! The new pants? Perfect for work and looks at the right length (from the mannequin, haven't got the chance to try it out) I have too short legs and when the pants ends just nicely at my calves, I will get it, never mind the cost.

(Will show pictures here if my future purchases become a reality!)

Nevertheless, I am going to persevere in saving money. Every buy is going to be worth every cent. No more cab rides because they just kill my bank account and no more reckless purchases because they just kill my bank account too.

Wish me luck!!!

P/S: Pinky promise that I will resume the outfit posts asap!

Of late

My love for sky high heels / platforms have diminished recently... Now, I have a penchant for buying comfortable low heeled wedges. Skinny or uncomfortable heels don't appeal much to me anymore, especially when blisters, sore ankles and unsightly scars come as a package.

Sensibly, chunky heels and wedges get me through the day easily. Sighs. Buying shoes are much harder now, since I have resolved to buy shoes that I will definitely wear and it ranks high on comfort.

Over a month ago, I have thrown out many shoes that:

a) cuts into my ankles (sorry studded New Look caged booties, you bite into my skin!)

b) hurt my feet (sorry heels, you're pretty but painful!)

Because of them, my poor ankles and feet are looking incredibly disgusting with scars and marks... (sad face)

I am more selective whenever I get shoes and I don't buy as recklessly anymore, which is a good thing. My TO BUY shoes are flats, sandals and wedges, anything that screams comfort!

Anyway, I am going back to posting regularly on my daily outfit looks starting tomorrow WHICH has been ages since I have done so. Pardon me but I have been so busy, I neglected this space of mine :(

Thrill Me

Three things that thrilled / happened to me today:

1) Found a pair of amazing jeans that surprisingly fits me superbly well and ends right at my ankles (FINALLY, I don't need alteration!) AND.... cost a mere S$21! OMG!

2) Hurriedly rushed out of the dressing room and exclaimed to the bewildered SA excitedly, "I love these jeans! I'm going to buy them!" And thus, bought the last 2 pairs right away! (Though I have to admit, I was contemplating on getting another same pair. When it was my turn to pay up, I looked so forlorn, I called out to the nearest SA and told her I am going to buy another same pair, which I left it at the dressing room counter. It was a bit drama as the SA rushed up and rushed down to get it for me, haha!)

3) Realized how much I miss shopping at bSYI (sighs, it has been so long, why?) - went there yesterday and today. The friendly sales staff recognized me (looks shy). Bought 3 tops in total from my 2 trips there. Lurve bSYI!

P/S: Thank goodness I have ample self restraint on today's impromptu shopping trip or else I will have to end up eating grass at tomorrow's Xmas eve dinner!

Penniless Me

Just realised something completely random.

(In the midst of watching this amazing Korean drama as I am typing this but it is getting really boring and draggy so I decided to blog instead.)

In the past during the student days, I could live on S$10 a day. It was easy and no brainer, just come home for lunch and dinner every night and you can save that cash for a brand new pair of shoes and / or bag (depending on where you are planning to get it from lah)! And it is going to school, learn and study, how much can you spend anyway?

When I started working early this year, living on S$10 daily was FREAKING HARD. Firstly, transport is a BITCH. Stupid new ez-link card does not allow you to travel with less that S$3. Fine. I will top up S$30 each trip then. It will save ME the hassle of going 'DAMN! Didn't I just topped it up yesterday?'

Secondly, my addiction to taking cabs (I am one lazy lady) despite being very, very, very prone to carsickness can be extremely costly. Per trip can cost me S$20 and more! I once paid S$35 for a trip from the North to City Area. My heart sobbed as my wallet was brutally abused. But I am improving. I rarely to never take cabs to work anymore because it is unrealistic and expensive. Taking the train, it will be faster and a MILLION times cheaper. Can you believe it? The time of my train journey is practically the same to taking a cab to work???!!! Maybe it is just me or recently, this year, roads have become insanely congested and jammed with SO MANY VEHICLES. Jams are crazy and I am never good with them. Meter keeps running, my heart keep jumping and my mind goes weak. Enough said!

Thirdly, my love for expensive food, or rather places that are expensive. I love Japanese food and steaks / beef, how?

Finally, I love shopping and buying clothes. Fashion is one of my best friends. Yes, I am a shopaholic. I can't resist not buying anything I fancy which is the main reason why I am always penniless.

So the verdict is:

I AM REALLY GOING TO BE FRUGAL THIS TIME!

(Fuckness, I just forgot that I want to buy that S$50 plus bag! Grrr...)

Reasons:

1) I am buying a camera. A good, mouthwatering one. Cause the current one is like in freaking stone age or something! Can't believe we even paid over S$200 for it.

2) I will be travelling soon!!! Yup, The Mum, The Sis and I are in the midst of planning a trip to the Big Apple or London for next year. So exciting!!! Yes, I am planning to shop loads so I need money!

3) The Fam and I are planning for a getaway before this year ends. Again, I need money to shop.

4) I hate being penniless by the end of the month.

There.

Okay, that's all for today's randomness!

Nite lovely kids!

Glummy Mood

Guess what...

Just few minutes ago, the Sister asked, "Hey your nose looks very red." Instinctively, I dashed for the nearest mirror and...

WTF!

I have...

NOT 1

NOT 2

BUT 3 acne growing on my nose!

Grrr, now I look like Rudolph, the red nose reindeer, complete with a super shiny nose!!

Clogs and Eye Makeup

I think I overate...

Just finished a box of eight tarts, six of them in total, right after dinner. Oops!

------------------

Obsessed Over:

1. I am CRAVING FOR CLOGS! I really want a darn pair of clogs and I found the perfect pair at Topshop.... retailing at (drumroll please) S$159! Frankly, I have never spent more than a hundred dollars on any item in my wardrobe and that is why I am hesitating...
2. I am OBSESSED over eyeliners, eyeshadows and eye brushes, quite surprising since I don't pay much attention to them in the past.

Not too long ago, I developed a preference for pegged, ankle length or cropped pants, nothing over my ankles. They are a great alternative to long pants which I really loathe. I hate long pants as they need alteration (extra tedious task!) otherwise you will start 'sweeping the floors' with the extra length.

Some new purchases over the last months:

I have bought much, much more.... just that I am really lazy to take them all out and photograph it.

Finally, screw shopping ban! I just dropped over a hundred dollars yesterday at my favourite shop :( But hey, the last three weeks of complete ban was a resounding success! (Applause wildly)
