popped by the office to get my last salary from TIF (:
then met amanda at PS (:
popped by a whole ton of places
and she got a whole ton of stuff!
(:
i got a star projector light thing :D
it was two for 25 so we got it :D
it's so cute.
i forgot to get batteries though :S
so i cant see how pretty it is tonight :/
we caught Letters to Juliet (:
it was a cute show,
and quite funny and sweet.
but the ending was abit retarded!
like the way it happened.
my feelings were cheated, lol.
then we walked to313 and i showed her the stuff i wanted from Mango (:
the sunnies are insanely comfy and good, for $19
and the rings are both so nice at $9 and $19
the tops, so-so only.
but the sequined jacket...
at first she said it was too formal and all.
but when i wore it!
ahhh. heartmelt. (haha)
it's insanely nice.
and nice.
and so chio.
shall wait awhile for it to be on further reduction, hopefully?
or else i should just get it.
pfft.
being so fickle isnt so good.
then we went to Artfriend at taka,
then pull and bear,
then popped by Mango.
tried on the jacket again!! (:
too awesome haha.
(sigh)
then we left for home (:
:D
cant wait for fridayyyyy
one day closer (:
today's my official lasttttt day of work.
feels pretty awesome
to officially be carefree (:
i mean, apart from dec,
i've been working from jan-june
though it's been flexible,
there's the mental notion that i'm working.
i've never been committed to smth optional for more than 6 months (:
(not counting relationships, lol)
so yes, now i am freeee.
officially free from work.
not exactly carefree cos i have to worry abt my expenditure.
but yeah, i can wake up late without feeling bad
and slack without feeling guilty.
(:
so to start off my first work-less day,
i am....going to the office.
haha.
to pick up my salary, drop of stuff and submit claims (:
then i'm going off.
meeting amanda at 130 at PS (:
catching Letters to Juliet (:
then prolly will pop by 313 if we feel like.
to stare.
and make another mental wishlist.
of all the stuff i wanna getttttttt.from.there.
okayyyyy the pay cheque will be in soon,
then it's really time for restraint.

photos from tumblr.
been doing some pen sketching, after drawing out the stuff i super want from mango and resurrecting my old sketchbook.
florals on clothes are pretty awesome to sketch provided they arent so complicated since i'm doing black and white. tie dye is crazy to ink. as well as white polka dots on black.
anyways today i went to Mango at 313 and found $180 worth of stuff i wanna get HAHA kill me already. the rings i wanted from before are now $9 and $19 and the jacket is still $69 also found some awesome tops at $19 i think i am going to need to exercise some serious restraint when the paycheck comes in on wed.
okaaay back to sketching (cant wait for friday)
i have a ton of things and places to go today and i'm not that excited abt it zzz. first-
bathe then i gotta laminate the photos at bishan, then book tix at cine for friday (this one i am damn happy cos i know friday we're meeting! yay.) then maybe if i feel like i will pop by f21 to check out that top i want. and if it's empty enough i'll try it on, but no buyinggggggg. haha. (and i shall check the mango for my sequinned jacket love. haha heh)
then i'll walk to ps if the weather is awesome, if i'm lazy just train to ps and head to citysquare to check out the charles and keith there for mummy, and get gong cha :D
i wanna go to the beach and play with the sand get a tan feel the waves at my feet take photos with you
i want to chill at starbucks sitting with my legs crossed drinking a caramel macchiato reading a book or a magazine and just watching, waiting for time to pass
i want to find my friendship band the one i lost
happy day :D
(yeah i know the title is cheesy but yeah it was a happy day lol)(:
Spent J's first day of school with him (:
very happy (ofcourseright, lol)
woke up early to head with him to CMB
then went shopping at vivo while he had his ns check up.
(:
spent two hours in Pull & Bear (:
trying on jeans and jeans and dresses and tops.
(:
managed to resist and refrain from getting anything other than a pair of jeans
(since i dont own a pair)
I had to put down a nice pair of black slacks,
a black bustier dress with stud detail at the waist (which i dont know when i would wear)
a super nice floral top that was too big (size L)
i tried it on and it's fine at the neckline but the armhole is to large :(
yeah.
the sale is pretty awesome.
for jeans and pants esp- almost all going at $39,
and sizes available (:
so if you need jeans/pants for uni,
you should go to pull and bear (:
there's nice detail on the jeans and for $39,
more vfm (value for money) than Mango
in terms of Jeans (:
though i guess the cutting is different (:
next stop was f21 (:
i couldnt find that black top with the ruffles which i posted here before :S
so i didnt manage to try it on or check out what the price was, haha.
sign that i shouldnt get it? lol.
i also saw a nice linen-silk ish material skirt,
which has pockets!
it's cute and they have it in black!
plus it's $21.
but i have to really evaluate whether i will actually wear it/have stuff to wear with it.
cos the last time i got that denim bandage from f21,
with the zipper behind,
i havent even worn it yet!
and it was $21 too, lol.
saw a nice top that's like my fav casual top
which i got from Mphosis one sale ago (:
so i was thinking whether to get that.
(:
then i went to Mango
since the last time i checked the sale out was at 313
where it's so small and crammy and dusty.
the one at vivo is bigger.
though the variety of jeans aint that awesome there.
BUT
i saw a sequinned-covered jacket
that i totally fell.in.love.with.
fatal attraction or smth (HEH kidding)
but yeah!
i'm not a sequins on clothes person.
and i always thought those sequin blazers are insane to pull off in singapore
but this one,
this one, is different :D
the sequins arent crazily bling and shiny and glaring
the colour is soft and the shine is muted.
and it's so soft and subtle colour wise.
it's grey-black
which are only two of my fav colours (:
and the sequins are arranged like this chanel bag '10
they overlap so nicely.
they're just right messy and just right arranged.
the cutting is awesome.
it's slightly cropped so it's not an overdose on the length
and it's collarless and a curved V (:
like a blazer
and the shoulders are slightly padded (:
it's 69 from 125 so i wanna see if it'll drop to 49
(mango has a habit of further reducing prices during sales...)
and hopefully they'll still have this :D
i cant figure what else to wear this with other than just with a black tank or tube or spag,
but for now that look will suffice hehe.
(:
please reduce the price further so my wardrobe can say hi to it (:
i've been falling in love too easily with non staple,
outstanding tops.
that are relatively not easy to match
and not commonly worn (:
guess i'm slowly shifting from being a lazy dresser, haha.
(:
okay i cant wait to see this top again and spend more time in it
j reached vivo just as i was trying it, lol.
okay so i digressed a bit.
haha so yeah, after Mango.
J cameeeee (:
had lunch at harbourfront centre (:
i had kfc breakfast before that too :D
(Seeing you + Am twister = best combination of things to start the morning)
(:
then we ran some errands.
by errands i mean,
check prices of stuff for ppl
and pop by SIX and Candy Empire (:
and get subway cookies (:
then i had to pop by the grandparents place to collect some stuff
so he sent me to bishan and then went home sweet home (:
happy dayyyyyy.
cant wait for eclipse on friday :D

i've always loved this.
there's something i like about this shot.
that & these. that polka dotted sheer top love. and these rings which are always in my bag. current wearings (wear-ings/weaRings, lol) are the three on the right side facing you. favourite is the rose quartz lookalike.
i really love this photo. credit to this tumblr (:
(: i just took these shots-
photos from treecastle.tumblr.com (: shifting away from hair obsessions slightly? feeling inspired by these shots. i wanna get cute socks. even though it's so hot and i dont sleep with air con so i would almost never wear them. i guess when uni starts if i sleep with aircon, i ought to get socks :D haha- i'm just finding an excuse, heh. photos from treecastle and doodlebottie, make me want to take on all those arty projects i said i would when i stop work. i'm going to. really, i am. and at the very least i'm going to try (:
i just made you the nicest card i've ever made
FISHING WITH THE FAMILY :D
so it was some bishan family day thing, and they held it the bottletree park in yishun. there's this huge fishing pond, so we tried fishing from 11-2. the fish are HUGE like up to 2 metres, and they're from like the amazon and mekong. with some usual fish like catfish. the hardest to catch was the arapaima (which we have at the zoo) and the alligator gar! which is the fiercest there, with the sharpest teeth! (i managed to reel it in!!!)
fishing, and reeling in the fish, really gives you this adrenaline (: that's damn nice. haha i got semi sun tan. and a watch mark zzz cos i forgot to take my watch off, lol.
kay i'll caption the photos :D
the Alligator Gar fish that i caught!! one metre long :D
it finally gets into the net! after reeling for ten minutes (:
the smaller fish that i next caught (: it was so much easier to reel in (:
BIG FISH :D hehe
Into the net!
The adrenaline from reeling it in is amazing.
The Gar fish kept pulling the line back even as i reeled it in,
i could totally feel the strength of the fish
and the resistance was so strong la!
finally managed to reel it in,
i was so scared that the line would break!!
haha, my hand was sooo sore after that.
Our first catch for the day (:
Apparently there's only ten in that pond,
and we managed to catch two within half an hour (:
My bro !
Wah, i didnt even dare to touch the fish,
scared it would jump haha.
but mummy did, lol.
(must be cos she has to touch fish to choose them at the market, lol)
My brother's catch :D the first one Mummy doing some reeling!
The fish she caught was putting up a good fight too.
Reeling is more tiring than it looks man.
All in all it was awesome.
the fish all have to be throwed back in,
cos they cost thousands,
and as i said they're from the mekong and amazon and all,
and people actually do fly all the way to thailand to catch some of these fish for sport,
so they're not for eating.
(:
they're still alive and good when we throw them in,
though i guess the hook is painful
and they'll heal after awhile (:
for now,
thoughts-
fishing was awesome,
the adrenaline is amazing when fighting to reel in the fish.
and i'm suinburnt
weirdly enough,
now i feel like blogging (:
lunch at grandma's
then got gong cha at novena :D
(happiness)
then met christine and eileen at ps (:
but not before popping by Paper Market to get....$9 worth of stickers hehe.
there goes my $ lol.
then we walked up a practically never ending flight of steps to reach mt sophia (:
and flea titan (:
wasnt planning to get much,
unless it was smth
realllyyyyy nice.
HAHA.
(sarah dont give me that look but-)
i ended up getting a polka dotted sheer top :D
from val's friend's shop (:
haha it was love at first sightttttt (HEH)
and i'm not usually a polka dot person
but this one's cute :D
i wore it over my black tank shortly after :D
haha.
i also got two rings for $7
(:
not bad i guess!
so in total i spent almost ALL my $ today
(ZZZ)
cant wait for the pay to bank in on wed.
and for the claims to cash in :S
otherwise for now i'm BROKE.
lol.
after flea titan we went to starbucks at ps to chill for a bit (:
then i went home sweet home.
(:
plans to meet j tmr fell through ):
but we get to meet on monday- before and after,
hopefully i dont have work.
(:
tmr there's this family day thing at some bottle tree park at yishun
and since i am such a family girl (LOL)
i'm waking up at 7am,
just to go for it (it's at 8)
insane hour, if you ask me.
i hope it's all sunny and bright.
anddd i hope i get a tan!
thinking whether i should wear my new tiedye dresssss :D
shall see how (:
kaaaay i better go and zzz.
7am on a sunday, is madness.

todayyyy.
(dont feel like blogging)
so i'll continue tmr.
i dont feel like blogging, feeling shitty for some reason. but i dont want to lose this post, so i'm forcing it outta me.
saw this skirt at f21, so un-me, but i guess you know how sometimes something is so not like you to wear, that it's like you to wear? yeah, that's how i see it for this skirt. i can imagine it with a black tank.
Also saw this top.. kinda like the way it falls and the frills below. i dont like the sheer-ish material that it's made out of thoughhh.
having something like a pseudo migraine now.
i suspect it's from crying while watching toy story 3 --> dehydration.
quick update on today:
shopping with the aunt,
toystory3 with the mum and bro at shaw-
raced them to 313 (i walked, and i reached first :D)
met daddy,
went to new look for awhile
then headed to Handburger for dinner
(so good)
then mummy and i popped by f21 for 20 mins.
during which i tried on a romper and a strapless smocked tie dye dress
fell in love with the tie dye,
which is THE tie dye dress i have been looking for.
mummy got it for me.
amazingly.
blog in more detail and with photos tmr.
night

i havent blogged abt ytd yet (: was so tired after all the food preparation and all. shall just blog briefly. (:
the picnic was good (: ten minutes into laying the picnic mat out, it started to drizzle so we shifted to the shelter. it was crazily windy, so should have brought the kites (but i forgot :S) so we just continued eating (: prepared most of the food. haha i think next time, we need more food.
(okay amanda just called so i lagged in posting this, whoops.) i'll just let the rest of the photos do the talking for the picnic (: then i'll post abt today in a separate post (:

when push comes to shove.
i'm going to be whiny and complain like an idiot for all of a few paras
then i promise i will be happy again.
if i took a stab for every time you chose smth else over me,
i'd be dead by now.
i dont know how you can do this.
just constantly not prioritise me.
i know you have studies.
but over other things like friends or random stuff?
i dont feel like a priority at all?
to tell you the truth.
time spending wise and msging wise.
whatever i guess?
we never get to do nothing tgh.
we never have to the time to sit down and just talk shit for hours or just do nothing.
it's like our relationship centres around dinners and hardly ever lunches
and sporadic sms.
and to be truthful,
it also centres around a ton of my messages that you dont even bother replying.
and i'm supposed to think that uni wont shake things up.
i know relationships are defined by so much more-
but it's like economic indicators for geog.
they arent fair in defining the standard of living of a country,
there's always education and birth rates and death rates and poverty etc.
but seriously?
everyone mostly uses economic indicators anyways
cos they're the most obvious to calculate
and economic indicators are the harshest to third world countries,
and that's how using time spent tgh to determine the strength of this relationship is.
if you can get my analogy.
so yeahhh.
i just hope we can both figure smth out.
otherwise i think we're just going to be dragging our feet.
and one of us is going to think that it's okay to walk dragging your feet,
but really, it isnt.
some days i really want to tell you that you can do so much more
i just cant find the ways to tell you
without me sounding like a demanding idiot
when really all i want is for this to be better
and i dont want you to realise that it's too late to do anything,
if push comes to shove.
work today was pretty awesome.
it was the launch of Jurong General Hospital's VMV
and their 1st birthday bash.
it was held at NUS UCC
so i was up by 8
and i left by 840
and i reached half an hour early at 930
(lol)
was basically an stage manager for the event (:
so i was on stage left the whole time
controlling movement and all.
pretty cool
and i think working in an event planning company is smth i could do in the long run (:
feeling kinda tired from being on my feet from 930-6
so i dont really feel like blogging bout work
though it was really awesome today (:
tmr i am 100% looking forward to the picnic (:
with all my favourite peopleeeeeeeeeeeeee.
cant get better than that.
just hope the weather's awesome.
(:
and yay i cant wait.
gotta rmb to bring
-roast chicken
-salad
-thousand island dressing
-picnic mat
-plates
-cutlery
-serviettes
-kite
-platessss
-camera
-cups

I'm also beginning to think that this blog layout-
the three pink hearts-
is kinda misleading.
cos my content is getting less colourful?
in ways.
haha.
and the fluorescence of it
doesnt really suit me now,
i feel.
think i'll convert to the standard design that blogger provides for new blogs soon.
or maybe just shift to oatmeal grey?
i'm too, too fickle sometimes
all of a sudden
i'm scared of what uni will do to us, and how to overcome all of it. some days i feel like nothing can come between us. and some days i feel like everything is (magnetically) attracted to the gaps btwn us.
i guess we'll never know till the day comes. 30th august 2010, i'll be ready for you. but for now, i dont think we're ready.
i am particularly in love with the genius ring that is picture number 3. who would have ever thought of putting dandelions within a mini glass cylinder, and making it into a ring?
