I’ve been wanting to get another tattoo for the longest time.
But I haven’t decided what I want yet.
There are many designs I’ve been looking at,
but I’m taking my own time because I know the answer will come to me at the right time.
It’s always like that.
Since I’m at the the topic of tattoos, I wanna share some of the gorgeous pictures I found.
I hope you like them too.
I really like moustaches, not like real ones but the Pringles one!
And I think I’ve listed it into one of my favourite designs.
I drew a little moustache on my finger and see what how much fun it can be!
Before I begin, let me wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!
Hope the Dragon Year would be a HUAT HUAT year for everyone and may everyone be happy, sexy, glam and healthy!
♥
This Chinese New Year has been a rather quiet one for everyone in my family.
We didn’t do any visiting this year because of Grandma’s recent demise,
but we still had fun at our family chalet! :)
I visited A’s place though, and it was a lot of fun meeting her family.
I hope A had fun at my family chalet and family dinner too. Heh!
I also received some pretty clothes to wear for the new year!
Special thanks to SugarThreads for the super adorable striped dress and LustMonday for the comfy and stylish looking chiffon shirt dress!
Many many love!
I shall continue with my travel to Chiang Mai!
This is probably my favourite part of the entire Chiang Mai trip – visiting the Karen Tribe in Mae Hong Son and Elephant rides.
But before I start on those, I MUST share this amazing place in Chiang Mai that A and I chanced upon
while we were researching about Chiang Mai couple weeks ago.
Nimmanhaemin Road is supposedly the hippest and most artsy place in Chiang Mai.
Littered with lots of cute cafes and chillout places, this is the perfect place to escape to
if one wants to escape from the typical “Chiang Mai sights”!
If you google or youtube the place, you can actually see a lot more pictures of the streets.
There are about 19 or more little streets branching off the main Nimmanhaemin Road, almost all are awesome!
Lots and lots of hidden treasures!
We saw this pretty little shop and we were blown away!
A lot of the things in there were made from recycled materials and they are all super cute!
It’s at Nimmanhaemin Soi 19, for those who are interested.
There is a shop, a cafe and a Ukulele shop in one!
There is this funky statue there. Look closely and you’ll see that it’s actually decorated with coins!
Creative!
Here are some of the things they sell in there.
A bought that blue/green document bag you see in the collage.
When we first saw it, we were guessing the material it’s made with.
After checking with the store assistant, we were pleasantly surprised that it was actually made from an old fridge door!
The sides of the bag has the rubber tubings from the old fridge too. Mad special!
It’s not cheap, about S$200, but definitely worth the price!
Our main aim at Nimmanhaemin Road was initially to find this shop we saw in one of the Youtube clips.
After asking around and some googling at the WIFI cafes there, we finally found it!
It’s called iBerry at Nimmanhaemin Soi 19. Super cute!
I wish there is such a place in Singapore too!
SUPER BIG STATUE!
Look at the size of the chairs and tables next to the statue.
We were super tired from all the walking but thrilled when we finally found the cafe!
Trying to look like that little thing on the table. Hahahaha!
Then we found this thing where you can stick your head in and take photos!
We had this super yummy thick toast thing there.
IT WAS FUCKING GOOD!
The bread is toasted and cut into little cuboids.
Honey is drizzled on the bread and it tasted heavenly with ice cream.
I’m drooling now already. Bring me back there!!
The next day, we visited one of the prettiest temple I have ever seen.
The White Temple.
It’s unlike most conventional temples because it looks very modern and is entirely white!
This place is almost like an art exhibition.
Check out these photos and you’ll understand why I said that.
The artist’s depiction of hell.
Something quite funny. You can actually see the artist’s standee all over the temple.
Apparently, he is tired of taking pictures with the tourists so he planted a lot of standees. Hahaha!
Inside the main temple hall, photography is prohibited.
But I managed to sneak a few photos. Hehehe!
Look at this! In which temple can you see such funky wall paintings?!
These are the things that we mortals are all caught up with, that we forget the true meaning of living.
I see Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil, Kungfu Panda and Transformers! Can you? :p
More pictures around the temple as we leave.
I LOVE this skull thing. Almost like McQueen!
For those who have watched this really good Japanese movie called Departures before,
you’d know what a stone letter is.
Here is a stone letter A and I exchanged in the temple.
After the temple, we ventured out to look at the infamous Golden Triangle.
I never exactly knew what the Golden Triangle is before I got there.
It’s actually a little triangle formed by borders of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand,
and it was one of the most illicit opium-producing areas a few decades ago.
I wonder if there are still such businesses going on in there now.
Allow me to introduce our funny tour guide.
Her name is Thip and she got the funkiest accent ever.
She pronounces January as “Jan-jer-ree”, Belongings as “Bee-long-jings” and Louis Vuitton as “Loo-wee-tong”.
Hahahaha. But she is still totally amazing.
A says she will make an awesome sales person. :p
After a short 10 mins boat ride, we crossed the river and ended up in Laos!
You can buy postcards here and mail them to your friends.
They will receive them 2 months later. Haha.
We also saw the funkiest baby “basket”!
And of course, adorable children. :)
Saw neatly arranged rocks. I think these must be some children’s toys.
Then we went back to Thailand (sounded so far haha) and checked out the actual Golden Triangle itself.
Okay lor, it was just a piece of triangular-shaped land.
After a short bus ride, we reached the northern most end of Thailand, just a bridge away from Myanmar.
*My eyes are getting a bit dizzy from all the uploading of photos and typing*
We later went to visit the Karen Tribe at Mae Hong Son.
This is one of my favourite parts of the entire trip.
I have heard so much about these long-neck people and I’m honoured to have the chance to meet them.
They live in the same village as another tribe where the women would enlarge their ear piercings.
It’s fascinating!
Her teeth is like that because of all the betel nuts chewing.
And this lady is one of the singles in this village, supposedly one of the prettier ones there.
Their skin is so fair and nice!
Put her in a singlet and jeans and she can pass off as one of our cousins lor!
And the long-neck tribe, also known as Karen Tribe.
They originate from Burma, present day Myanmar.
Looking at these women saddens me a bit actually.
The tour guide told us that these women need to put the rings into their necks by
slipping brass rings in molten state through their heads and let them harden at their necks.
So they will have a lot of burn marks under the rings.
THAT’S SO CRUEL AND SCARY!
But after doing some research when I got back, I realized that that wasn’t the case.
Tour guide kayu.
Here is a Youtube clip that shows you how the rings are put on and removed.
And yes, it is also a myth that these ladies will die and their necks will break the moment the rings are removed.
But in some articles, I read about how the muscles in the neck will weaken after prolonged wearing of the brass rings.
And that after they remove the rings, the woman must lie in bed for the rest of their lives.
It was said to be one of the punishments for adultery.
Here is an article explaining why the Karen women wear the brass rings around their necks.
“There are many different accounts of why the Padaung practice this bizzare custom.
Their own mythology explains that it is done to prevent tigers from biting them!
Others have reported that it is done to make the women unattractive so they are less likely to be captured by slave traders.
The most common explanation, though, is the opposite of this -
that an extra-long neck is considered a sign of great beauty and wealth and that it will attract a better husband.”
Anyways, it was the Thai Childrens Day that day so A and I decided to buy some candies and chocolates for the kids.
Some of them never eat chocolates before eh. :(
And they are so not in touch with society that they don’t even know it’s Childrens Day.
This lady has the most number of rings in the village.
Her picture is on the Wiki page about their tribe too eh!
She has like 26 or 28 rings around her neck!
A and I tried on the rings (there is only 17 rings here) and we are so glad we were not born into this tribe.
We would be considered freaking ugly if we were. Haha.
And one final photo with their pretty headgear before we leave the village.
I bought that yellow necklace I’m wearing in this picture too! Pretty? :D
Think I’m going to pass out if I continue blogging!
Have been at it for the last 4 hours. OMG!
I’ll be back with more pictures from Chiang Mai.
And till then, hope you all have a wonderful day ahead.
Cheers!
It’s time for another post for my favourite Dove chocolates!
And when I was told to blog about something close to heart -
something similar to the warm fluffy feeling melting a piece of chocolate in my mouth would give me,
I thought I should dedicate this entry to my beloved Mom.
My mother has always been an inspiration to me since young.
She always struck me as a free-spirited, optimistic and daredevil woman.
Although she is my mother, she has always been more of a friend instead.
We could talk about almost anything and we are comfortable to show our innermost feelings before each other.
Well, to me at least.
Mommy was a really adventurous girl.
She used to tell me how she just picked up her luggage and went off to Japan to live and
work for half a year when she was about 21 or 22.
And when she was in her late twenties, she did it again, that time to London.
In many ways, she has taught me how to be daring enough to go after what you want and follow your heart.
I see a lot of myself in her.
Mommy is my best friend and the one person I will never ever forsake.
With this entry for Dove chocolates, I’d like to dedicate this post for the woman I love the most.
Thanks for bringing me into this beautiful world and teaching me all the right things in life.
♥
I’m feeling all fluffy and warm inside now. Heh!
And of course, just in case you’ve missed all the wonderful silky smooth
Dove chocolates I’ve introduced on my blog earlier,
here is one reminder for you to try out the smooth chocolates from Dove.
Melt the silky smooth chocolate in your mouth for that warm, fluffy feeling of love too. :)
That aside, I just came back from my 5-days Chiang Mai trip too!
I was there with A and her colleagues, and I really enjoyed the company and Chiang Mai a lot.
It was rather chilly over there now but it can still be rather warm in the afternoon.
I wish Singapore had that kind of climate too!
We stayed at Royal Princess Hotel, which was right smack in the middle of the main Night Bazaar area.
Lots of food, shopping and massage places all around so it was fabulous.
The hotel itself was pretty alright too. :)
Okay, to be honest, the writings on the wall freaked the scaredy-cat me slightly when I first entered the room.
But after I surveyed the other rooms and realised it was just a design, I heaved a sigh of relief.
You can’t be too sure, when it comes to hotel rooms. Hahaha.
It was already rather late when we we done with the hotel and all,
so we decided to just head for dinner and then start cruising around the nearby night market.
The night bazaar start at around 5pm daily and the stalls will start closing at around 10 or 11pm.
The stalls here are almost the same as those found in Bangkok actually.
But shopping around here is so much more pleasant because of the fine weather.
It was be quite cold at night, so even if it’s quite crowded, it never gets hot and stuffy. :)
I love the work by this artist!
He paints with a brush and uses powdered lead.
Super awesome right!
Look at all the details on the face and all!
We stopped for occasional drinks too and we found some exotic juices!!!
Painapple and Mongo juice. Never drink before right!
Hahahaha.
I also found a new love, banana crepes.
I always say dirty looking things tastes the best. Hahaha! Kidding.
But these banana pancakes sold at those roadside stalls are to-die-for!
The chocolate, the hot pancake, the banana and the cornflakes! YUMMY!
It’s very easy to make me happy. :p
Day 2 was the first full day we had in Chiang Mai.
We started it with a visit to the famous Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
According to the tour guide, if you didn’t visited this temple during your Chiang Mai trips,
it’s as if you’ve never been to Chiang Mai.
SO! Here we are at the beautiful Doi Suthep Temple!
We bought candles, joss sticks and lotus flowers.
We were supposed to walk 3 rounds around the main pagoda and your wishes will come true!
Of course, I took the chance to make a wish too. :p
Something random, the lotus flower is really pretty.
A says we were supposed to ring the bells to “announce our presence” (or something like that).
After the short stay at the temple, we took one of the mini buses up the hills to visit on of the tribes living in Chiang Mai.
The roads were really narrow and I really had to give it up to the bus drivers!
Our regular tour buses were too big and these are the “buses” we took.
The weather was great and we were lucky to catch quite a few cherry blossom trees on our way up too!
If I’m not wrong, the tribe is called Miao Tribe or something.
I’m never good with names.
They made a lot of handmade stuff for sale and seem to have green fingers because all the flowers up there were gorgeous!
Pretty simple and happy looking people if you ask me. :)
Spot the cherry blossom! Almost felt like Japan kay! Hahaha.
The girlfriend looks quite hot even when she’s shooting hanging papayas. :p
And pretty flowers that were littered all over the mountains!
And do you recognise this particular flower?
If you guessed Poppy, then you’re right!
I have seen the poppy plant when it’s all colourful and pretty but I never knew after all the petals fall off,
the core of the flower is actually where the opium came from.
The tour guide also showed us how they get what they want from the plant to make opium and heroine.
Apparently, you need to score the surface with a needle or something and collect the sap from the bud (or something).
I rubbed some of the sap on my fingers and took a whiff.
Smells really funky. It was not pleasant but not exactly awful as well.
Just erm.. smells like plants lor. But the smell kinda grows on you and become less unpleasant after a few more whiffs.
Interesting.
And the marijuana plant.
This is the one that gives you your weed, your magic mushroom or whatever crazy hallucinating brownies.
Hahahaha.
These plants ah… tsk tsk tsk.
We toured around the village a little more and met some of the people living there.
No matter where you go, the kids are always so cute.
I shall end today’s post with this pretty cherry blossom tree we spotted there!
I miss my blog so much after 5 days of being internet-less!
Will be back with more pictures and updates.
I love and hate my wanderlust!
This is the first Sunday Advertorials of Year 2012!
I am currently discussing with my web designer to create a new plugin to make shopping much easier for you to check out the new stuff at blogshops every week!
Stay tuned for this new change and new look for the website coming up soon!
As for today, I hope you enjoy this two blogshops stacked with lots of Chinese New Year dresses for you to pick from.
Have fun!
I’m suddenly in the mood to do an introduction on how my normal “slightly heavier” makeup is like.
Random I know!
But it’s been a while since I last did such girly and makeup-related stuff on my blog,
so I thought, why not? :p
I don’t use much makeup usually.
Used to not be able to live without liquid foundation but I think I’m much better off without it.
I don’t use 2-way cakes too because I don’t like the cakey and powdery look,
and I think a good concealer will be able to do the job as well as foundations!
♥
Here are some of the products I will be using today:
Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Navy, Steel and Woodrose.
Estee Lauder Blush in Nude Rose, Rosewood, Pink Kiss and Bronze Goddess.
Maybelline ‘The Falsies’ waterproof Mascara
Marjolica Eyeliner in black
Benefit Eyebrow Kit
ZA concealer
Chanel Lipstick in Vendome [25]
Start off with a clean face with only moisturizer on.
It helps make your skin more supple and acts as a good barrier between the makeup and your skin.
Of course, it’s important to keep your face hydrated as well!
Concealer will help cover up dark eye rings!
I’ve got concealer on one side and none on the other, look at the difference!
What can I say, concealer is really my BFF!!
Other than covering eye rings and blemishes, concealer can also act as a highlighter.
So do dab on some on your nose bridge, eyebrow bone area, some on the cheeks and the darker areas around nose and mouth.
Similar to using liquid foundations, you need some loose powder to “set” the concealer and let it be less sticky.
Use less if you wanna achieve the dewy feel and more if you prefer a powdery look.
I love the loose powder from Paul and Joe!
The packaging is really pretty and it comes with a huge powder puff.
The quantity is huge too and it’s really value for money.
Next, fill in the gaps in your eyebrows.
Eyebrows are important because they frame your face and it will “wake you up” instantly.
I use eyebrow powder because I think they are easier to control compared to pencils.
My eyebrow powder is a little too brown for me actually, bought them when I had brown hair. Hahaha!
But Benefit’s eyebrow kit is awesome! Comes with a mini tweezer too, it will come in handy when you’re travelling.
Then, eyeshadow!
I love this three colours from Bobbi Brown.
Use the lightest colour on a larger surface but don’t go beyond the bone under your eyebrows.
Then put on a slightly darker shade.
I like to put it darker on the outer edge of the eyes and then blend it in as it comes inwards.
Do put a piece of tissue paper under your eyes if you don’t want the powder to fall on your cheeks and ruin your makeup.
Alternatively, you can just put a huge amount of loose powder under your eyes (and then remove them later).
As for eyeliner, line it as close to the lash line as possible if you want it to look natural.
I like to also use a smudger to smudge the line so it doesn’t look too “clean”.
[Pardon my messy eyebrows!!]
I love Maybelline’s The Falsies mascara!
Who needs falsies when you have this wonderful mascara!
Other than having a really cute packaging, it’s a really good product too.
And then the blush!
The best way to know where the blush should go is to smile and apply the powder on the “apples”.
If you already have heavy makeup on your eyes, go easy on the blush.
Remember, in makeup, less is more sometimes!
I also like to spray some water on my face after my makeup is completed so that it doesn’t look too powdery.
I think you can’t really tell the difference from the pictures though.
You guys can try ZA’s energy water if you’re interested.
But I think plain water will do just fine too. Heh!
I love my red lipstick!
A red lipstick will never go out of fashion, so depending on your makeup,
you can also try out a red lipstick if you wanna look Da Bomb! :p
Special thanks to Blu Sunflower for the turquoise cheongsam dress.
They sell mainly vintage dresses but is also in the midst of expanding their inventory.

More to come soon and meanwhile, wish you all fun preparing for the upcoming Chinese New Year!
Move over, diamonds. Chocolates are now a girl’s best friend.
And my best friend is definitely Dove’s DARK CHOCOLATES!
Other than taking care of how you look on the outside, you should also start taking care of your body on the inside.
For this entry, I wanna share more about Dove’s silky smooth Dark Chocolate bar.
Dark chocolates contain lots of antioxidants, higher than that in red wine and green tea.
It also has potassium, magnesium and other vitamins like B1, B2, D and E.
Why should you make dark chocolates your best friend? Here are some reasons!
[It’s my own little research and here are some information I gathered off the net]
1. Pregnancy
Babies born to women who ate chocolates daily during their pregnancy were more active, happier and showed less fear of new situations.
The chemicals in chocolate that produce a positive mood can be passed onto the foetus!
2. Coughing
My Mom used to tell me that chocolates are ‘heaty’ & would probably make my cough become worse
but little did she know that the Theobromine in chocolates is actually a miracle ingredient that can ease coughing!
According to some research done, the chemical suppresses vagus nerve activity, which is responsible for coughing
It’s yummy and definitely tastes better than medicine. :p
3. In need of a Happy Food?
Moderate amounts of chocolate and darker chocolate can let you have that euphoric feeling
as it contains chemicals like Trytophan, Phenylethylamine and Amandamide.
Ok, those are really huge names but the bottomline here is – Chocolates can make you a happier person!
4. Heart
Chocolates contain a chemical that prevent fat-like substances in our blood from oxidizing and clogging the arteries.
It also helps prevent blood clots and thus encourages a healthier blood flow.
5. Aging
Polyphenols found in chocolate neutralizes harmful free radicals and prevent them from attacking our cells
and destroying the vitamins in our bodies.
With all this, I hereby declare that dark chocolates will be my new best friend!
Dove chocolate bars are now available in 80g too!
3 flavours: Dove Milk, Hazelnut and Raisin and 66% Cacao Dark Chocolate!
I especially love the dark chocolate flavor because it’s silky smooth!
It is hard to find really smooth dark chocolates because they don’t contain milk and hence is not as smooth as milk chocolates.
But THIS, is god sent!
If you’re still in search of the perfect gift of love and good health,
Visit your nearest supermarket or convenience store and grab some of these delicious treats for your loved ones now.
It was a fine morning and we set off to do a little pre-wedding (or some call it engagement) photoshoot for Sindy and Tingkang.
Wedding bells will be ringing in May this year!
A and I didn’t sleep for the entire night before the shoot (I was blogging and she is hooked on SIMS 3),
but I think we ran on some amazing adrenaline and reserve battery left in us to do the shoot.
It was really fun exploring new places and taking pictures for the lovely couple.
Tingkang also handmade the reflector we used for the shoot!
And Lianie the stylist came prepared with pretty dresses for the bride-to-be!
Here is a little present for my beautiful friend, Sinsin and Tingkang!
♥
The first location was near Dempsey area.
The sun and occasional clouds made it perfect for the shoot!
A and I lugged all the props and I’m glad they added more pretty colours to the shots! *beams*
They looked really cheery and happy in the pictures and I think all the mosquito bites didn’t bother us much anyway.
Sinsin then changed into a pretty red dress and Tingkang donned on a cute B&W shirt!
This was supposed to be a candid shot but I think they both looked really natural and happy!
The last location is in Queenstown area where there are pretty pastel-coloured brick walls that I really love.
All thanks to Melody who brought me there about a year ago!
I love all the shots taken here because they all look so happy and cheerful – very much like Sinsin and Tingkang in person.
We took a few fun pictures like these too!
I wish we brought the tripod. Bleah!
Other than taking pictures, we fooled around quite a lot a bit too and took some stupid photos. Hahaha!
Here are some behind-the-scene pictures (and video) to let you know what was really going on this morning. :p
This is the homemade reflector Tingkang and Sinsin made!
It’s easy, just crunch up aluminium foil and stick them on a huge cardboard with the matt side on the outside.
You can try it too if you want. :)
And this is us prancing around like crazy people.
The men always has to wait when the ladies do their powdering. Hee.
Hahaha and things you don’t see in a picture:
It’s a wrap!
Hope you two will have fun preparing for your wedding!
Love is such a wonderful thing.
Always be happy and always so MADLY in love. Haha!
My New Year celebration was a blast with A, the girls and their partners!
Earlier in the evening on the 31st December, I also attended my friend Levi’s wedding at Conrad Hotel.
Wish him all the best and a blissful marriage! ♥
We left the banquet early so we won’t be caught in the NYE countdown crowd.
Sindy and Lianie were feeling very “Sex and The City” and Sinsin decided to do a video of us.
HAHAHAHAHA!
I don’t know how to walk so happily like them though.
You can view the clip here.
Our NYE celebration was a simple one at A’s place.
My darling A was so nice to let us create havoc at her place in her room. Heh!
I brought my ring light to her place and set up a little camwhore corner so that I could take pictures with my girlfriends,
RIGHT BEFORE Year 2011 ends!
Everyone was there except Aiyo because it was she and Weifu’s anniversary day!
Congratulations Aiyo and Weifu! ♥ Another wonderous year!
But even though she wasn’t there, we still made sure she is in the photo saying her favourite line “AIYO!”
Hahahaha.
Introducing the usual suspects, Lianie, Sindy and Rossie!
The boys cannot really be bothered to take part in our silly photo taking session.
They all just sat around the room, watching TV, playing games or eating chips (or laugh at how we were so easily amused).
I think my ring light has never been happier too!
The four of us took pictures almost non stop.
A was really patient to stand there and help snap our ridiculous poses too. HAHAHA!
Don’t ask me Lianie’s dress how come wet wet. HAHAHAHA!
We also made 春联 from toilet paper. HAHAHAHA!
This tradition started couple years back when we scribbled on some serviettes in some restaurant and took a lot of pictures.
I know it’s New Year and not the Lunar New Year yet, but we can’t wait!
[Sinsin is really looking one kind of crazy in the photo below]
And something for you to laugh at. Heh!
From Level 1 surprised to Level 4 surprised look.
HAHAHAHA!
When the clock struck midnight, we all kissed our partners Happy New Year and it really made me smile.
It’s such a blessing to have found these girls and A in my life and to have such great times together.
I’m really happy to see how everyone is so happy too! ♥
Then we dragged everyone to have couple photos taken!
May 2012 be another wonderful year for everyone.
Sinsin and Lianie will both be getting hitched in 2012! YAY! Let 2012 be a great year for A and I too. :)
The girls also took some more normal photos and here are some of them!
I love these girls! :D
Let 2012 be another great year for our friendship!
On a sidenote, I’m really getting hooked to Instagram lately!
I started an account earlier in 2011 but I haven’t been using it much.
Never knew it could be this interactive and fun!
I had a lot of fun checking out other people’s great photos too.
Here are some of the snapshots I took these couple days.
If you’re on Instagram, find me at SIXPEGS ok! :D
Left to Right, Top to Down: A dicing chicken to make fried bee hoon for us Lipstick on a cigarette butt My D.I.Y polka dot manicure & A’s iPhone case D.I.Y moustache pedicure My Oxfords brought me out walking Colour blocking is found everywhere Cute letterbox I spied My best friends in the toilet A and I goes shopping at Bugis
I’ll be taking pre-wedding pictures for Sindy and Ting Kang tomorrow!
Lianie and A will also be there and I’m sure it’s going to be a great day.
Unfortunately, both A and I are down with flu and the usual sore throat now.
Boo. Hope we’ll get well soon!
I’ll be back with (hopefully) more gorgeous photos of Sinsin and everyone else!
As for now, hope everyone is having an enjoyable and great time as 2012 starts.
2012 is coming and as I try to make space in my life to usher in the new year,
I decided to clear off some clothes that I hardly wear now so they can be brought to life again elsewhere.
These clothes are in pretty good condition and I hope they will find better owners!

It’s made of cotton material.

After I took the pictures of the items I’d like to let go of,
I lazed around on my bed and realized I haven’t really shared how my room looks like after I did a little redecoration.
Thus, I shall just have a short virtual tour to bring you around my room today! :p
I think my room says a lot about me.
I have never been the pink, frills and laces kind of girl, but I think my room has a lot of character. Hahahaha. I know, shameless.
This is a picture wall at the side of my bed.
Similar to another 40% of Singaporeans, I buy my picture frames from IKEA. Cheap and good!
I visited them few days ago and realized they have these small black frames now.
When I bought mine, they only had them in birch and I had to paint my frames black. Tsk.
The pictures in the frames are from everywhere, but they are basically all things that I love.
I’ve got some portraits of myself and some nice pictures from Henri Cartier-Bresson, a famous French B&W photographer I adore.
There are also some pictures I took during a B&W photography class I took when I was in NTU,
and of course, pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn.
And to make sure my room doesn’t look like a dark room, I had to put a little bit of colours in it.
I love pop art, posters, paintings, doodles and little knick knacks.
So here is a little corner where I can lay out all the little stuff I love.
The two glass bottles used to hold two fishes, but they died couple weeks back.
So I guess they will just hold flowers whenever I’m in the mood for fresh flowers in my room.
Here are some of my accessories.
I love chunky pieces and they are much easier to manage because they don’t get tangled together as much. Heh!
I just dump them into this glass jar like that.
Sadly, they collect dust easily, but I love how it looks!
I love the scented candle from Crabtree too!
My humble little perfume collection.
I never believed in just having/using one bottle of perfume before changing to the next one.
Because our noses will get immune to a certain scent over time (this may cause us to go a little too heavy on the perfume too)
and I think using different scents to accentuate different moods is important!
I love perfumes!
Books corner!
I hardly read, to be honest.
So the books that I own are mostly picture books or books with little words and many pictures,
or books with words in big fonts. Hahaha.
I love The Sartorialist and PostSecrets, especially the latter.
I never knew reading someone else’s secrets can be so therapeutic and comforting sometimes.
Do check out the PostSecret website if you’re free, they update every Sunday.
I call them the Sunday Secrets.
I love my journal (the one in blue) too.
At the front, it reads “Fuck you and your blog”.
I bought it to write things I can never write in my blog.
Haven’t had the chance to write much in it though.
Will get down to it soon.
This is a picture A drew for me.
Ok, she didn’t really draw per say. It is a doodle done by one of my favourite doodlist, Gemma Correll.
It’s really cute!
I love the pink frame I bought from Europe too. Got it at a bargain, only 5 euros!
This is my cameras corner where I dump all the camwhore equipments.
Polaroids, films and stuff.
I love my Stupid Little Coins coinbank too! A has a same one at home as well.
I also have Playdoh. Yes it’s mine. Hahaha!
I do take them out to knead and play when I’m feeling childish. I’m weird like that.
I bought these lights from IKEA last Christmas.
(They are selling them again now for Christmas!)
They are not only pretty lights but also awesome bangle holders!
This is the metal cabinet where I keep all my bags.
But what’s so special about it is how it is filled with perverted poems on it.
A and I bought this two tins of “magnetic words” where you can form poems and other stuff with.
The two boxes we bought were like love and naughty poems or something. Hahaha!
We had a lot of fun playing with them.
If you’re interested, I think you can get them at The Cathay Level 3.
One of those shops where they rent out shelves for people to put their stuff to sell.
This is a colorful wheel I took without permission from some eating place.
My room’s private stolen rainbow.
And last but not least, my beautiful Marilyn Monroe clock from Molecule.
This clock is absolutely gorgeous but it gives me the creeps on certain nights.
I don’t know if you can see this but when you look at her face,
you can sometimes see her eyebrows and eyes forming another pair of bigger eyes that has no iris and pupil.
Creeps me out at night sometimes.
Maybe I think too much.
Hahaha.
I’ll be helping Aiyo with photoshoot for her blogshop tomorrow!
I’m the photographer, not the model. YAY!
I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.
On a sidenote, A is ill and I hope she gets well soon.
Flu bug, give my girlfriend back to me!
Before I begin, let me wish everyone not-very-on-time but definitely not late…
I hope you guys all had a fantastic Christmas celebration over the weekend!
I had a lot of fun meeting up with my friends and A as well! :)
Auntie Connie dropped by Singapore from Taiwan for some personal matters and we managed to catch her over dinner at ION.
The traffic in town was totally crazy though!
I guess everyone was rushing to town to do last minute Christmas shopping when we were there,
and we were stuck in non-moving traffic in Orchard area for a good 20 to 30 minutes before we could get into the carpark!
This is what a frustrated driver looks like. Haha!
ION is one of my favourite place to be!
I used to refuse to visit ION when it first opened because everyone was raving about it.
And me being me, I like to deliberately go against everyone. Hahahaha!
But I think I go to ION more than any other places in town now.
A and I always take such stupid pictures at the escalators in ION. :p
Auntie Connie was this super nice lady who brought A and I everywhere in Taipei the last time we were there.
She is still the same, super bubbly and energetic! Heh.
We had dinner at Taste Paradise at ION Level 4.
It was my first time there and I’m really blown away by how pretty the food is and how good they taste!
Chinese fine dining! (Basically, everything with a big plate and little bit of food is fine dining to me. Hahaha!)
Two thumbs up for their food! :D
Here is me with Auntie Connie and A’s family.
I don’t know what you think but I think the four siblings don’t look like each other at all.
Maybe A looks a little like her elder brother (in white), that’s all. :p
If you wanna check out Taste Paradise, it’s at ION Level 4.
You can call them at 6509 9660 for reservations before you head there!
Speaking of A’s Mom, she also baked a super nice log cake for me this Christmas!
But because we don’t do any Christmas celebrations at home, I brought the cake to our gathering at Rossie’s place.
Look at the pretty cake Auntie Susan made for me! She told me the Santa Claus is holding a big bag of money for me. HUAT AH! Hahahaha!
A and I also made meatloaf for the doggies for Christmas!
I think it was a big success because even A wants to eat the meatloaf (and she stole quite a bit to eat).
It’s made from minced pork, celery, potatoes, carrot, oatmeal and lots of love!
This is the one I made for Maliboo. B for Boo! :D
I had to REALLY HOLD HER DOWN and settle her before I could get a picture of her and the Christmas meatloaf we made.
Tried to make her look up but to no avail. Heh!
She REALLY loves the meatloaf and couldn’t stop munching away once I told her she could go for it!
And… our new friend, Poppy!
Poppy is Rossie’s baby all the way from the States!
According to Rossie’s hubby, Roy, Poppy is an ABCD.
American Born Chinese Dog.
HAHAHAHAHA! Very creative indeed. :p
We made a “P” meatloaf for Poppy too and she absolutely loved it!
I think A and I can make it a sideline and make meatloaf for all the furballs in Singapore!
Our meatloaf rocks! :B
Sindy and Tingkang weren’t around for the gathering because they went on an escapade to KL for Christmas.
Better join us next year, Sinsin!
♥
Cut log cake time!
Everyone must take turn to pose with the cake. Haha!
This is our 神雕侠侣 cut cake pose. HAHAHA!
We also met up earlier for our midweek girlfriends loving session! ♥
This is the first time after Rossie got back then we managed to have a meetup where everyone was present!
SO MUCH LOVE! It was just like the old times, as if Rossie never left for 2 years at all.
A came along with me and we were bumming around before we met up with them at Bugis Junction.
She also accompanied me to get my new iPhone 4S!
I know it’s a little slow but I’m thrilled to finally have a new phone because my current iPhone 4 is totally screwing up!
The HOME button is cranky and the button on top needs a lot of strength to be pushed.
The iPhone only have 2 main buttons and both of the buttons on my phone is spoilt.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?!
Ok, enough whining.
(Back at home), me and my new iPhone 4S! ♥
Oh! I switched to Singtel too! Hee.
MUCH LOVE!!
That’s me and A on the way to Bugis.
And my look of the day! I love the Beatles Tee I bought from Bangkok couple years back.
I’m never much of a t-shirt fan but this has got to be one of the cutest t-shirts I own! “We all live in the Yellow Submarine~”
A’s office is at Bugis so we swung by her office to grab some stuff.
That’s us camwhoring in front of the lift!
Then when we were downstairs, the lift door suddenly opened when I was taking a shot.
The photo turned out to be super funny!
It looks like A was making that random guy’s hair! HAHAHA.
Dinner was at 南翔馒头店 in Bugis Junction.
I heard about 南翔’s supposedly very good xiao long baos but that was my first time here.
The shop is quite cute! I like how they used the bamboo baskets as lights!
Food was really yummy too!
Freaking love the Drunken Chicken cold dish! One of my usual dishes at a Chinese restaurant! Yums.
This thing doesn’t look appetizing in pictures but A totally loves it!
Salted egg yolk with prawns! :D”
And us! :D
Can I just say, I’m SO happy to have met my girlfriends!
I love them so much! ♥
We then did some shopping and wound up in TCC for some coffee before we called it a day.
Then they said the guys from Beatles on my tee look a little uncomfortable because they were stretched by my boobs.
Didn’t know my near non-existence boobs can stretch Ringo Star’s face too. Hahaha!
*SUPER TAK GLAM*
Shall end off tonight’s post with the much-missed toilet camwhoring-with-girlfriends pictures!
So happy A hit it off well with the girls too!
YAY! HAPPY DAY! *big grin*
Can’t wait to hang out with everyone again on NYE at A’s place!
:D
28 days later, no zombies will be coming for you. But Chinese New Year will be here! ♥
This year is a little special for me because it’s the first time I tried doing New Year goodies!
I know you’re probably still basking in the whole Christmas mood, but hey,
better start preparing for Chinese New Year because it’s just less than one month to go!
Here are some pictures I took when we did some of the cookies.
A’s Mommy is totally awesome when it comes to cooking and specially talented when it comes to baking!
Here is how the usual New Year Pineapple Rolls are made.
We also prepared some Pineapple Tarts!
I didn’t know there is so much work put into these little tarts.
Normally I just pop them into my mouth one by one, but so much time is put into making every one of them!
According to A’s Mom, the pineapple filling is made from fresh pineapples and
they need to be cooked for a long time before it’s ready.
The Pineapple Rolls and Pineapple Tarts taste a little different.
The rolls are somewhat softer and the tarts are crispy!
For me, I’d very much prefer the Pineapple Rolls!
We also made Spicy Prawn Cookies!
The dough is made with curry leaves, good quality dried shrimps and other ingredients.
This is actually invented by A’s Mom and it’s really super good!
If you like the usual mini popiah haybeehiam snack, this would be 20 times better!
Oh those are actually rice crisps on the cookie, super crispy! :)
We actually formed a production line in A’s kitchen while doing the cookies and I thought we looked quite funny.
A, her brother, Mom, maid and myself all got down to work and got busy making the cookies.
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes:
A’s favourite is making these Pineapple Tarts with funny shapes on them.
One of it has a snowman on it, but the snowman look like a pile of poop. Heh! :p
If you looking at getting some Chinese New Year goodies for your family and probably your partner’s family,
you can consider getting them from Aileen’s Mommy!
Other than being super yummy, these goodies are made with FRESH and great quality ingredients
because her Mom is such a perfectionist when it comes to food.
She’s been doing this for many years and the customers always come back year after year after they have tried her cookies.
There is always more customers than the year before so if you wanna get some, better order soon!
No preservatives are added to the cookies so it’s best if you finish the cookies within 3 to 4 weeks.
Here are some of the cookies available for you this year!
There is only THAT much cookies Auntie Susan can make so if you wanna get your goodies, do order soon ♥
Delivery is free for orders $200 and above.
Get a few for home, a few for office and a few for your boyfriend and it’ll be around $200 before you know it!
Alternatively, you can simply top up $10 for delivery to your doorstep.
For those who wants to do self collection, collection points are at Gambir Walk or MacPherson area.
Do allow 5 days to one week for cookies to be prepared.
Feel free to email or call Susan to find out more!
Before I begin on the post, I apologize for my addiction to my pageboy hat.
But I think it goes go well for this dress I received from I Wear Sin.
I think this place would be great for people looking for party dresses and even clothes for the upcoming Chinese New Year!
Thank you to I Wear Sin and the many other sponsors and readers who have continuously supported me throughout this year.
For me, 2011 has been such an eventful year.
Like how I will always have a blog entry to round up every year, I shall have a simple one for 2011 as well.
♥
The first time I curled my hair
This is the first time I curled my hair.
I know it’s kind of dumb to start of a list with such an item. :p
But well, I really miss those short curled hair now!
♥
The first article in a magazine about my website
This blog has been around for about 7 years now.
Being a person who has been writing in diaries for the longest time, my blog is one of my most prized possession.
It is more than a journal, but also a place where I document everything that once made me smile and tear.
♥
Amazing colleagues from JobsCentral
It was my first job and I left the company in late May this year.
From there, I not only gained so much fun and experience but also wonderful friendships.
Michelle, Colin, Ai Jia, Farhan and many more were such great company and friends.
♥
Another wonderful year with my beloved girlfriends
Sindy, Lianie and Aiyo have never left my sight and are always around me when I needed them.
I’m glad another year has passed and we are still as tightly knitted as before.
I love you girls.
♥
Another of my best friend got hitched!
Ting Kang proposed to Sindy and she said YES!
I cannot describe how happy I was for dear Sindy.
They will be having their wedding next year and I can’t wait to be there to witness it.
♥
Rossie is finally back!
After 2 and a half years in USA, Rossie and Roy are finally back in Singapore for good.
They also brought adorable Poppy back!
Don’t leave us again, Ros!
♥
More travelling
This year, I went to a total of 7 trips and visited 4 new places!
Within this year, I also saw 4 amazing architectural marvels – Angkor Wat, The Great Wall, Eiffel Tower and Colosseo.
It was also the first time I travelled alone with Mommy.
I’m sure there will be more to come.
♥
Aileen
This year, Aileen happened.
This is the first time I have a girlfriend and the first time I am so comfortable in my own skin and proud of what I am doing.
She is my best friend and soul mate.
♥
Grandma left us
Although there is never a day that I wish she was still around to laugh with us and watch us grow,
I am sure she is in a better place now and we will meet again someday.
2011 is coming to an end.
And whether the world ends in 2012 or not, I strive to work hard and to love everyday like it’s the last.
And to cherish everything and everyone around me when I still have the chance.
We all should!
Another year has passed and it’s the wonderful Christmas season again.
For this year, just to make sure you’re left with more time to shop for that perfect Christmas getup,
I have invited 12 blogshops to share some of the goodies they have stocked up for this festive season!
It was our last two days in Rome.
We received a call from my Mom that morning and was told that Grandma had passed away,
and we spent the entire morning trying to get a flight back and
to settle some of the accommodation and flights which were already paid for.
A also tried to see if the travel insurance we bought could help.
It was such a hectic morning.
And before I start, here is a cute leatherette black top I received from Bare Minimal.
It’s comfortable and so easy to match and accessorize. I love it!
I frigging love my pageboy hat too! :p
Ok back to our Rome trip, we decided to make it our last day in Rome worthwhile and tried to run some last minute errands.
As usual, we’ll start with our Looks of the Day! :)
It was a very chilly morning in Rome that day.
Even if we were sitting in the sun, it was still quite cold!
I never loved the sun so much! It feels really good on the skin. :)
Brunch was an overdose of tomato – tomato-based pasta and tomato soup.
We didn’t realised that we ordered so much tomato stuff until the food was served.
It made me laugh at ourselves a bit. Hahaha.
As we started the day rather late, we had to cut our Vatican City tour much shorter.
We decided to just check out the exterior and head on to get our meals and shopping done.
And I think we both had that “last minute” mentality, so we had short spurts of trigger-happy moments every now and then. Heh!
Because of the next 7 days of our trip being cancelled, we were each left with quite a bit of euros.
So we decided to just go and buy some serious brands. :p
We initially kept Zara for our Barcelona trip because it is afterall a Spanish brand,
but because we’ll be skipping Barcelona, we went to check out the Zara in Rome too.
We bought two purses and I bought a bag. :)
As I have previously mentioned, the apartment we were staying at in Rome belongs to A’s friend.
Jacelyn is a talented songwriter and vocalist who is working in Rome now.
Her boyfriend, Alessandro and her were really sweet and nice to us for that 3 days we were there!
Jacelyn sings really well and write her own music too!
If you’re interested, you can check her out here. She’s really pretty too. :)
Ale made us really good truffles pasta that evening!
There were also other really good starters, but I was too shy to keep taking pictures of the food. Heh.
The next day was a very short one.
We went out a nice breakfast and then proceeded to do some more last minute shopping and do some tax refund stuff.
We met Alessandro for a good morning coffee.
Our apartment was just 2-minutes walk away from the best coffee place in Rome.
I never knew that Romans like to just stand around and have a quick coffee. What a cute culture! :p
I heard the coffee beans here are all roasted there and coffee are all freshly brewed.
Being a non-coffee drinker, I really enjoyed my Caffe Latte that morning. :)
Really good!
And more pictures about town before we leave Rome.
I was really impressed by how we managed to squeeze all our belongings back into the rucksacks!
And the best thing to wear for a flight – LOOSE CLOTHES! :)
It’s a fresh day at Rome and we got up early to set off to the Colosseo and Roma Forum.
It was hard getting out of bed in this cosy apartment because I’m totally in love with the huge bouncy bed!
We only have 3 full days in Rome and time is tight.
It’s the first time I saw Rome in daylight and I absolutely love it.
I love the colours of the buildings and the many huge wooden doors.
Many of the buildings on the streets are hundreds of years old and they exude an irresistible charm.
The cobble stone roads are lovely too.
The huge and tourist-packed Piazza Venezia.
It’s right at the end of Via del Corso, a huge street that cuts across Rome.
Then I think I see too much stones until I got a little bit looney.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Roma Forum from afar. It’s amazing when you see this place and imagine how it was already here thousands of years ago.
The path you walk on was once walked by the most important people in Ancient Roma.
This Gladiator person made us take pictures with him and charged us 5euros. Dammit.
The walk to the Colosseo was anything but plain and boring.
Other than LOADS of tourists, the streets were littered with street performers, cute little roadside stalls and more.
It was quite a nice walk and even more enjoyable if one just take one’s own time down the street. :)
And we finally arrived at the Colosseo!
To me, this place is not as beautiful as the Eiffel Tower.
But after listening to the guide we hired,
I think this place is amazing and intriguing because of its long history and stories behind it.
Learnt a couple other new things too!
Never knew gladiators were actually people from the lower castes in the society.
And they were forced into becoming gladiators.
The Colosseo used to be covered with pretty marble slabs and pillars.
In fact, one will not be able to see any stones in the Colosseo at all in those days.
Can you just imagine how majestic and breathtaking this place used to look like?
The huge cross was erected as a memorial to all the martyrs who lost their lives here.
It used to be in the middle of the main arena, but was later shifted to the side.
Very fail jumping pictures. Ahem.
We had another guide to bring us around the Palatine Hills and Roma Forum. :)
It’s such a gorgeous place with a rich history.
There was actually still excavation works going on at the Palatine Hills area when we were there!
The next stop is the Trevi Fountain (or Fontana de Trevi. A is next to me & she wanna show off that she knows the Italian name).
A did some research and found out that (some say) the BEST ice cream in the world is near the fountain!
And so we went on a hunting trip to look for the amazing San Crispino Gelato!
The Trevi Fountain!
I threw a coin with my back facing the fountain.
I hope I’ll be going back to Rome again soon! :)
And the amazing San Crispino gelato!!!!
I think it really is the BESTEST ice cream I’ve ever had!
We bought a cup each and left the store.
After we’re done with our cups, we looked at each other and went straight back to the store to get another BIGGER cup! :p
It’s THAT GOOD! :D”
They are world renowned and these people are so particular about their gelato that they don’t serve their gelato on cones!
HAPPINESS! ♥
From the gelato shop, it’s just a 15 mins walk to the Spanish Steps.
Ok, I don’t know why the Spanish Steps is so famous actually.
It’s just a lot of stairs.
But it’s still very pretty lah. :p
There were so many tourists we don’t even wanna take a picture of the steps because there will be too many photo bombs.
Right in front of the steps is another main shopping street where you find your usual Prada, Louis Vuitton, etc.
REALLY GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE!!
Dinner was at Gusto, a nice restaurant near the Spanish Steps.
The address is Piazza Augusto Imperatore, 9 00186 Rome, for those who are keen on checking it out too. :)
SOOOO many different kinds of pasta!
We bought a bottle of water from the mart and walked back.
The Pantheon is gorgeous at night! :)
I also wanna share this super cute thumb drive and bookmarks I got from Summur!
Mom needs a thumb drive and she was thrilled when I shared it with her. :)
The bookmarks came in four different colors – pink, red, black and baby blue.
I love the leather texture of the bookmarks!
This is our last day before we leave for Rome.
How I miss Paris now already. I wish I was still there!
Before I begin, here is a pretty one-piece short jumpsuit I received from The Friday Best.
Oh my god, I love it!
It’s super comfortable and I think I’m going to head out in it tomorrow. :p
You can throw on a belt if you want, but I like it baggy like that. Looks cute! Heh.
Let me start the Europe trip with our Looks of the Day pictures!
We visited Galleries LaFayette, a big shopping area with a lot of “serious brands”.
A and I call huge labels “serious brands” because one needs to be very serious when you’re shopping from these brands.
Hahaha!
To be honest, serious brands shopping for ONE WHOLE DAY can be really tiring and boring.
But something you girls might be interested in is the LongChamp store in there.
It’s near the main entrance and there is always a loooonnnngggg line of tourists waiting to go in!
More interestingly, all the tourists are Asians.
I don’t know why we like LongChamp so much, but I think the stuff there are really much cheaper. :)
There is a huge Apple store nearby too!
I also saw these super pretty Coke metal bottles in the mall.
Pretty in pink and white!
I’m instantly swept away when I saw it!
Although it’s Diet Coke (which I dislike), I bought it anyway. :p
And yes we brought the clean bottles back!
Gave me quite a lot of problems at the customs because they keep beeping at the metal detectors. Hahaha!
What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say “Christmas”?
For me, it is pretty white snow, gifts, new dresses for myself, Christmas carols,
and a reminder to do good to share love and joy throughout the world.
During this season of giving, MasterCard not only remembered to give us the usual benefits of using MasterCard when shopping,
but they are also making a contribution to Singapore Children’s Society while you’re happy shopping.
Love ASOS, Neiman Marcus and other international shopping websites?
If so, sit up and be wowed by what you can win and do while shopping with your MasterCard cards this festive season!
‘A Season of Giving’ is the MasterCard end-of-year campaign,
offering shopping and shipping rewards for buying gorgeous goodies from any international shopping sites! ANY of these sites!
Isn’t it great? :D
Register your MasterCard cards and spend 500USD on international shopping sites
between 15th November and 31st December 2011 for your chance to qualify for a S$50 shopping voucher!
That’s almost like getting a 10% discount off your purchases! :p
But be fast! Because this is only valid for the first 1600 registered cards!
If you’re thinking 500USD is too much, then fret not!
This 500USD can be a combined amount from maximum of 3 transactions of 50USD or more!
And international websites can be any that bill in currencies other than Singapore dollars. (That means my favourite ASOS is in!)
I think I have spent at least $600 at ASOS in my last couple transactions!
I wish this offer came earlier!! :(
On top of all these, there is also 10% off shipping through vPostEurope, vPostJapan & vPostUSA.
[Minimum spending of S$40 through vPostUSA]
Ok, now for the best part of this entire offer.
MasterCard will be making a contribution to Singapore Children’s Society to help them provide education to children in need!
Christmas is the season of giving and everyone deserves a Christmas present. The best gift, if you ask me, if a gift of love or a gift of knowledge. You can now give both when you’re shopping with MasterCard.
What more can we ask for? :)
A very good piece of advice my uncle gave everyone in the family that day was “Life goes on”.
The 5-days wake for Grandma has ended.
Today is the 7th day after Grandma left this world and here I am at home again.
Life still feels somewhat the same, except that I’ll never see Grandma again.
Rainbows will still be as beautiful, freshly cut grass will still smell as sweet.
Grandma is now in heaven looking over us and she will always live in our memories.
I’m glad my family is doing fine and we even made a verbal pact that the family gatherings will go on,
and we will still be as close as before.
I’m now writing with a horrible stiff neck (with a huge koyok at the back of my neck).
Went to a Chinese physician earlier and hopefully the pain will go away soon.
I shall continue with my entries about the recent Europe trip.
There is more than just the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in Paris.
A and I visited the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral & Pantheon too.
Before we begin, I shall share our Looks of the Day!
A is looking really cute with the bowler’s hat and all suited up on black and white.
I think I have never seen A with a bad hair day before.
As for me, I’m all blue.
I’m stacked with blue apparels from head to toe.
I love this blue snood on me. :)
The Notre Dame Cathedral and gorgeous and huge!
We started firing away in front of the cathedral.
But it doesn't matter, because we'll be together.January 27, 2012 10:18
You're waiting for a train. A train tt will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but u don't know for sure.January 27, 2012 10:18
@skirtchasing Thankew for the ASOS! 😁January 26, 2012 6:50
