Hong Kong and The Blur That Followed.

I'm baaack~! From a 3D2N Hong Kong trip...

First purchase in HK: an overpriced Minnie Headband!

my sister's graduation show...

Her team won the show! More on that later...
and finally, church camp!

Can you spot me?
It's really been a whirl wind week with all the happenings. The weekend in Hong Kong was supposed to be rest but it was really more tiring than the five days of work before it. Too much to buy and too little time! The pace of life is a lot faster there than in Singapore too (they even walk faster) so I actually felt quite relieved to arrive at home. Haha! 

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday in Hong Kong. Lovely food and the shopping was seriously crazy. We spent two entire days in two shopping malls and could still buy more in them if not for the time constraint. Three days were just right though, because we were really really out of cash by the end of the trip. I had to charge my last minute wallet and bag buys to credit, which meant very lousy conversion rates!

Too much to blog about in just one post, so maybe just Day One for today! :) Just one destination that day - Disneyland! :D

Taking off in the Dumbo ride!
That's my sister - Ling, my stylo mummy and me, taking a shot before I got scared on the Dumbo ride. I know, I'm useless. Its embarrassing but I'm even afraid of ferris wheels. Hanging a mile up on a small cubicle that sways - how can anyone find that not nerve-wrecking?!

That's me getting worried right there.


Still managed to squeeze some smiles out for the camera hahahahahaha
Ms. Bunny played tour guide for the day. I had to nag three times a day one week before the trip just to make her work on the itinerary! I think she's never gonna travel with me again. Haha!

Yes, I'm workin' on it!
The HK Disneyland is the smallest among all and doesn't take a lot of time and energy out of you just to finish exploring the park. We got there at 3pm in the afternoon and finished just in time for the fireworks! Some people think going there's a waste of money, but I like it - just right for half a day of comfortable walking! :) 

Outfit of the Day: Minnie headband, long drape cardi, loose fit tank, mesh ballerina skirt and gladiator sandals! Good for a pretty and comfortable day in wonderland! :)
Okay there's just too many things to talk about so let's just use photos from now!

Wearing makeup for Hong Kong! I don't know why but I only do that when I travel! :S
Mummy! :)
Spotted: Mini Snow White! :)
Can you tell we're wearing the same skirt in different colours? Haha!
Staring lovingly at the bunny on my head hahaha.
I took her bunny headband while she wore the one she got from Disneyland Japan!
Showtime! A must-catch if you ever plan to go. :)
With Mum. :) Do we look alike? :D
Blackcurrent Jelly - madly yummy!
Queuing for Ling's fave ride...
Winnie the Pooh! :)
Aaaand its nighttime!
Cinderella's Carousel :)
Very happy because she got the pony she wanted!
Trying out the party mode hahahaha
And last but not least,

Fireworks!
Truly the highlight of the park.
"I can show you the world" :)
I wished boyfriend was there but he really isn't the amusement park kind of guy. :( I suppose you can't ask for everything in a man! 

And so the day ended with:

A bowl of magically lovely noodles from right across the hotel. It's the best supper I ever had!
That's magical Day One for you. :D Day Two comin' soon!

Goodnights all! :) Hope you guys had an equally great week!

A Day in Black, Pink and Frustration.

Here's one of my favourite work dresses; A black dress with hot pink trimmings and a lush full skirt - paired with a multi-coloured skinny woven belt. Got it while spreeing in Bangkok last year!

Love the scrunched up pleats!

Come follow me to work!

Clomp clomp clomp.

Speaking of work, I've had a really bad day. Here are the list of things that went wrong:

  1. Woke up with an elephant-sized zit on my left cheek
  2. Faced an elephant-sized pile of work 
  3. Forgot an important deadline (!)
  4. Got assigned to collect a poster from our printer and drop it off at one of our stores after work, which pretty much meant overtime
  5. Left office and walked the arduous journey out to the main road, all ready to hop on a cab, when I got a call from our printer that she did not receive the file to print!
  6. Walked all the way back to the office, turned on the pc, saved the file in my hard drive
  7. Called and begged printer lady to wait for me as its already near their closing time
  8. Waited an eternity for a cab
  9. Traffic jam! Waited an eternity in the cab.
  10. Got to the printer's, waited another 30 minutes for the print
  11. Hailed and got rejected by 3 different cab drivers because they have their own itineraries in mind
  12. Got to church band practice 1.5 hours late!
Yet, amidst bad circumstances, there are always things to give thanks for:
  1. Boyfriend offered kind words and a lot of comfort. 
  2. Printer lady very kindly waited for me and served me with patience even beyond opening hours
  3. Got onto a cab with a wonderful cab driver who agreed to wait for me while I run off to drop the poster, with the possibility of not ever returning (but I returned of course! One good turn deserves another.)
  4. Was greeted with a lot of love and concern once I got to church for the practice - a big thank you to all my lovely bandmates!
  5. Enjoyed an hour of worshipping as we practiced.
  6. Ended the day with a wonderful dinner cum supper with boyfriend and Ling.
All thanksgivings to God Almighty, who is in control at all times. 

Anyone else had a bad day? Big hug for you! Smileeeee!! :):):)

Shoe-Shopping.

Let's see...


Tired eyes, happy smile...

Yup, I went shopping last night! Hee.

Dropped boyfriend a message before I left that office yesterday to let him know that I would be meeting my sister for shoe-shopping and his reply was:

"What why are you buying shoes again!"

Heeey, I may have a few pairs sitting untouched in the shoe cabinet but everyone makes shopping mistakes right? :( I always leave shoe shops thinking "yup, I would wear that, its not that high." But it turns out that it is pretty high. And that's not good for me because of this.

Nonetheless, that reply got me on guard - no shopping mistakes this time please! I already don't earn enough!

Okays I take that back, God always gives enough. :)

So, I prayed and prayed for wisdom to buy the right shoes and I got these!


Especially happy with the Aldo buy, because 1) it looks nice on my feet, 2) its not that high (sounds dangerously familiar but it really isn't!) and 3) that salesperson was really a joy to shop with. Good service is so hard to come by these days. The Nine West and Steve Madden people sulked in an instant once I said no the pairs I tried on. Not nice at all. Shop at Aldo, Raffles City everyone!

A big thank you to my sister Ling, for letting me drag her from store to store just to find the right fit!

Many people would kill die do something extreme to have a sister like you. :) Haha.

Thank God for good buys and good company!

End of lunch time; back to work! 

Have a good day everyone! :)

P.S. Loving the details on my soft chiffon dress today from MDS Collections!

Pretty in Flats.

My only pair of strappy flat sandals just got utterly ruined by the rain two days back. And there's this thing about my feet that keeps daily heel-wearing an impossibility - they've got unsually high archs! Putting too much pressure on the balls of my feet gives me swollen heels that take days to heal.



I almost managed to get a permanent medical certificate while I was schooling in Junior College, which would get me off all physical activities. The doctor got my hopes up and then finally decided that I can still run with the arch. As you can tell, I'm no athelete.

Anyways, with this arch problem, I try to stay off heels as much as I can, even on formal occasions like weddings and stuff! 


I've been hunting for inspiration for my next pair of flats. It ain't no mean feat to find a pair of flats that works well for work and other formal occasions. :( But still, I found a few lovely looks online:

Alexander Mcqueen

Stella McCartney

Christian Louboutin

Diane Von Furstenberg

J. Crew

Miu Miu

Roberto Cavialli

Sigerson Morrison

Especially love the pair from Miu Miu! Big on nudes lately, just like the rest of the world.

Now, I just need time and good company for some serious shopping!
