the past week have been pretty tiring for me for some reason. the drilling coming from the house beside has been getting on my nerves so much so i wanna move out for the time being and mommy say find a room in school. haha and i think i've already missed the window period for pgp?

oh well. got to live with this misery. blehh 8am and i'm up already. tsk damn those renovation, i wonder why they have to drill all day long, everyday. it's not like their house is made of holes. raaaaaaah i wanna throw a hammmer to stop the noise. =(

last week was filled with food, food and more food. gosh. i think my tummy is gonna burst from all those food i've been consuming and also die of too much nutrition and rich food. becos daddy is very involve in 7 month dinners and ceremonies, we're always invited to dinners and i must say i'm quite sick of the food! got to draw the line and yesterday kok n i definitely did.

this was taken 2 weeks ago during our 8th, look at the amount of food on the table! could feed an army i suppose. ever since cad n kelly came back we've been going for so much local food every now n then, we're growing sideways. dim sum is always the best form of gathering :) all happy n smiles at yum cha chinatown. our biggest lycans turn out so far! even ang was there for dimsum and because everyone was present eug lee was pulled to join us when he had to rush his dissertation =PP




following that, i had Ippudo @ mandarin gallery on friday for chantel's birthday. best ramen in town but i was simply too full to have a bowl to myself. haha only had a few mouthfuls, kok tried hard ramen and i told him it tasted like wanton mee. belittle the infamous ramen. but it was definitely better than the one i had in Tampopo the night b4 with the girls. too bad i didnt get a bowl in ippudo cos ben took the bill =P only had a pot of green tea to myself. booooo


and then to fruit paradise for the cake cutting. cakes or shall i say giant pies/fruit tart looked so pretty, i've walked pass this cafe a couple of times in city hall and vivo but havent got a chance to try them. they defnitely looked too good to be eaten. so much so i couldnt even tell the fake plastic display to the real one. yes that's how good it looked =P. but the taste was disappointing. it's like i've paid 8 bucks for a whole load of cream! ewwwwww. i tried mount blanc and the chestnut swirl on top was tasteless not to mention the custard bottoms.

and enough about food. moving on to new things in life. ta da! iphone4! yipppeeeedo.. all thanks to daddy, "want to buy what? iphone 4 ah? ok let's go" i've got the best dad in the whole world or what?! =)))) got to the shop but they were all "SOLD OUT" hah, dad's "friend" made a few calls and ta da iphone4 resting on my hands. iphone 4 is of course better than my current chui iphone 3g. it's faster, longer battery life and has multi tasking features. plus i've ordered my free bumper from apple and it'll be shipped here is 3 weeks time. haha long? freee mah!


and i've blinged up my fat fat Honda on my steering wheel with the bling bling i bought from Daiso $2 only. and i've used it on my iphone casing as well and my canon g10. fat fat finally fitted with pink crystals =)) mommy say it's very ah lian, but i like can already la! haha =PP


and the ASOS parcel arrived! hehe and this time it's HUMONGOUS! becos of wei jie's shoes and wayne's bags, i only ordered 2 items which only took up 1/10th of the space. hah they still think i bought a lot. i asked my maid how did the postman deliver such a big package, she said no motorbike, VAN! woahhhhhh haha 


and this was what i got and they were on sale! hehe cheap cheap buys la. the kulottes which look very nice on this lanky model and kinda look weird on me ooops =XX i need longer slimmer legs! and this spag top which was inspired my chanel hehe!

Good Service

Not an advertorial but just wanted to commend on this particular blogshop. one day i was blogshopping/browsing and came to this blogshop called Swivelle. Commented on a top and they gave me a prompt reply. afterwhich i received the parcel and there was a small note of thanks with my name on it.

i guess these are the small and minute things that not many people do. it really felt good to open a package and see a personalized note in it. these are the small little things which make up good customer servicing even after the transaction is over. thumbs up for that blogshop.

free shipping is the way to go

my ASOS package has arrived! yipppppeeeeeee!

i think having free shipping to singapore is the best thing! haha plus the lower currency rate woohooo! =)) haha shoppaholic in the making. i think it's pretty efficient! it took less than 2 weeks for the stuff to arrive at my doorstep. unlike backorders which takes a gazillion years to arrive. im still waiting for bonito chico's loot, almost 3 weeks now!


the packaging was good too, the put my watches in a box which contained 2 watches i bought. hehe initially i was afraid that the watches will be damaged due to handling but they're safely kept in 2 boxes giving me a peace of mind. =)


clothes though didnt fit my size. haha it's not too small but too big! mom say i need to do some altering to them, the dress was gorgeous but the top was tooo loose, i guess it's because the people there are taller, the strap doesnt fit my short frame at all. same goes to the blouse i bought for work, the shoulder part does fit me too, too broad for me. but oh well! still got hope

i bought these pretty things 
i love receiving parcels

My loots from Sinful Paris

haha there you go, 3 big bags of stuff that i lunged back from Paris.bought quite a number of stuff and i managed to keep within my budget. =)) haha see i'm quite in control of my spending power. so proud of myself

a huge paper bag from Longchamp with 12 Longchamp bags in them. haha 2 of it is mine. i bought a Papier coloured Longchamp bag that has an Eiffel tower print on it. exclusively in Paris =)) which makes me even happier. exclusive. and another smaller bag which is in Graphite colour. new colour of the season *woootsmy Burberry i got using my angbao money from my Birthday. Simple tote bag, which doesnt scream Designer. has a different patchwork design on different sides. Adjustable handles. Cloth fabric. Last but not least, my Louis Vitton clutch which has a glossy finish. Pictures doesnt do justice to this baby. I bought the greenish-blue one, because mommy say i cant carry red. booo hoooo according to feng shui -.- nevertheless, i love this one! unique colour. im sure lots of people will buy the red one(because i think it's damn nice!) but oh well.Being a perfume bottle collector, im not gonna let this one slip my hands! pretty pretty classic pump bottled perfume! oh-so-girly scent that comes with it smells so deliciousssly pretty! heeeee im so happy! =)))I ♥ Paris Golf balls for Dad. haha i've got the t-shirt which says the same thing too! hehe but it's still wet from laundry. =)

i ♥ paris
paris ♥ my wallet

second visit to the PC show

on our 2nd visit, mommy decided to drive instead of the public transport. there were lots of people hogging the escalators, parking lots blah blah blah when we got there at about 12pm. went around the whole place like we did the night before, and still undecided.

i think there were more people today, compared to yesterday, because there is a jammed at the entrance! thought thru it thoroughly last night, that i wont buy a new lappie, will stick to bimbo one. but mommy say "daddy wants u to get a new one" and she's instigating me to get a new one too. as i mentioned, something small, thin and durable.

after 2nd round of touring, i was still undecided, so mommy suggested we go sit down and have a coffee, talk about the lappies and exchange. with a cup of earl gray tea and a slice of choc hazelnut cake for accompany.

Alas...

all the other lappies under 2kg are not as impressive as the sony vaio Z series one. and comparing the price with the specs, it's more worth it to get the Sony one instead of the rest. plus, mom's fav "MADE IN JAPAN" label was only present on Sony laps.
all the accessories in the big black box
the lappie is pretty light, 1.4kg only, which is so much lighter than the pink one im using

and below the accessories, TA DA! and this is how it looks like when it's flipped open, ok got to admit, it isnt as pretty as the pink one i have =(

im using my new lappie for this blog entry, the words are sooo small i realised. haha =X

over n out!

oh-so-tiring-day

Happening me, walking around and about in town.

with jasper and diana. from 2 - 5pm. shopping for glenda's present, we walked from city hall to suntec and then to marina square. thankfully we've got all the presents we planned on getting. u'll see tonight glenda! hope u'll love it=)

with Christina, and Caderam. from 5 - 9pm. While caderam went to work as his HerbalLife promoter, Christina and i went shopping @ Suntec. presents for david's 21st. walked the whole of suntec a few times before deciding what to get. sadly, royce doesnt carry choc mint anymore. so we walked to millenia walk, hoping to find a decent mint chocs but we couldnt.

with Bestie Michelle. from 9.30 - 11pm. she was also shopping for david and another friend's present. it's a birthday month this may and june, i havent stop buying presents for others. we had a short break at coffeebean wisma. and she showed me all the wonderful photos of her birthday. it's been such a long time since we've gone shopping and took a bus home tgt. it was short and bittersweet. bitter because we had to chase after the bus in our skirts. so unglam=) and we had no seats on the bus, being us, we kept trying to break the fall everytime the bus driver hit the breaks.

with kelly, louis and raymond. from 12 - 3am kelly suddenly msg me "supper?" when i was about to msg her "im going to bed! nights!" haha, louis came all the way frm bedok to pick me and got lost in between. we went chomp chomp for supper in louis's black ah beng car. =X
it was real fun actually, haha many more suppers await huh?! the only 3 photos i took yesterday, was too lazy to whip out the cam during the day.
well a nice ending to a all-so-hectic =)

Hurray! i finished exams already although that means the results are gonna come soon....i dont care because the Summmer holidays have already STARTED! 3 months without lectures, tutorials....and it also means GERMANY is just 3months away! eeeeks....im excited and scared at the same time...=P

yesterday, Kelly, jianjian and i went to K for almost 5hrs...omg usually we'll always have tons of songs left unsang when time was up...but yesterday it was totally the opposite...we couldnt wait for 6pm! n exhausted our song list way before 6pm..our achievement: we sang less than 10 jay chou songs, and filled up the time with other songs to level up our chinese song collection=P

next next! it was back to busy Bugis Streeet....i was sooooo disappointed with our shopping trip and kelly feels the same way tooo but zj was hiding a sinister laugh...imagine having nothing to buy, nothing that u feel like buying, nothing even to induce impulse buying! how bad is that...BUT we still have faith...looking forward to the next shipment of clothes =P

hungry, disappointed, giddy...we went for dinner @ MaMaison, ladies night which means we've got 20% off the total bill=) what a great promotion..the food made up for the disappointment we felt in Bugis..because it was simply great =) the service was great tooo, and the ambience was very cosy =)i knew jianjian wouldnt be full...so we went to the Ritz Apple Strudel Cafe across the road frm where we were for some sweet bites...yummy strudel i havent had for quite awhile now...good good goood! i took this photo while we were having the strudel...hah not bad right! =Pend of day one without exams, lectures, and tutorials

i guess the movie didnt really help much with regards to money management =P

i just cant help but think of shopping! that left me almost sleepless on friday night...and so i decided to go back to the root of the ''problem''

i am going back to BUGIS on saturday =P

oh dear....what happen to thinking whether i needed it....

while shopping with kelly..."steph! this dress is soo you" haha...she knows exactly what i like and i know exactly what she was looking at as we walk pass the shops..."kelly you're looking at that right?"

i knew the dress i eyed on friday will somehow be etched in one small corner of my mind...and it certainly didnt do anything goood
kelly...does this look familiar to you? haha

and this dresss look awfully familiar..and i only realise it when i got home...shows how much consideration i put into shopping..buy buy buy =)but oh well...doesnt hurt to have the same one..i'll just be tactful about it haha =P

but this time i went shopping with my parents..my mommy keeps nagging n nagging about how i have soo many clothes at home alr..she doesnt realise that i need somemore...kelly, i wish my mom was like ur mom! retail therapy......

and she keeps harping over my bargain price clothes...im helping her save! tsk! she doesnt really have a liking towards the clothes i buy...she rather i go mango n zara...which is so whatever...oh well age gap huh....

in order to make the mood lighter...daddy decided we shall have a good dinner so we went to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao...i wasnt that hungry la..but food certainly was mouth-watering! and i had dim sum again=) 2 days in a row...this time it wasnt xiao long bao...yummmy =)

i've nv really had time to spend with my friends this sem as compared to last..i met up with the other 2 brats only once this sem! =( and this is my 2nd time going out with kelly n zj

today's programme was SHOPPING @ Bugis & Movie! yipppeesss! =)

shopping was great great great...although i didnt get super a lot of things like *a-K-h-e-E-LL-m-Y!* it was still rather satisfying...saw lots of stuff which i wish i could get my hands on...but! i think i still need some time to think whether i really need it =P

Incident no. 1: while shopping with kelly, this guy came from behind us and asked me whether he could be my friend...i was like stunned at first but told him NO! it was so weird la! so random guy, wake up! you are weird weird weird...i felt like we were stalked...ewwwww so scary...luckily zijian showed up soon enough =)

so this is the catch of the day...a mini black dress i bought for $25! exactly what i was looking for... while my dear kelly got a bag and 2 dressesand then dinnertime! the most impt part of the day....we wanted to eat MaMaison but the queue was uber uber long! so we settled for Nan Xiang Steamed Bun restaurant which had the shortest queue...

it wasnt very good i must say...substandard compared to din tai feng...the dishes are either too salty or tasteless...we sent back the rice cake because it was simply tasteless! boooo...but the ambience was good..i like the nice cushion seats we were on=) comfy enough to catch up with the 2 powerpuffs=) and i finally ate xiao long bao

oh yes! not forgeting the XL crab roe xiao long bao we ordered! Its hugeeee! and yes your eyes are fine..that's really a straw!...they stuck a straw into the bao so that we could drink the soup frm that...and it was uber hot! jianjian took the first sip.....=P we felt so cheated because there wasnt any meat in that xiaolongbao.....Incident no. 2 : while we made our way to PS for our movieee....my sandal strap broke! OMG second time this semester...am i unlucky or what...this time it was in public......boooo what a disaster! i couldnt even walk already...i dont wanna trust that particular dumb shop anymore! arghhh

ahya no choice got to cab to PS and we alighted at Cathay so i could get myself a comfy pair of Havianas! my first pair of Havis because i couldnt bare to spend that kinda money on flipflops...BUT it cant be help=P haha what an excuse.....that dumb NUM guy say i dont look like a NUS student......but he was nice enough to pack my dreadful sandals into a bag

anyway we caught CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC...it's an incredibly good show to catch it with your girlfriends, n im so glad i watched it with kelly and jianjian =) Rebacca Bloomwood kinda reminded me of someone i know....hmmmmmz with heaps of clothes, lines of shoes, tangled up accessories...and ahem! this movie isnt bimbotic okay! it's soo REAL sooo relateable(is there such a word?) i can totally relate to it..oops=X..the temptations that beautiful boutiques pose while i was suppose to be "window" shopping... how the world will be a better place whenever i shop...swiping that magic card and having your heart pulsate faster when you finally found THE ONE dress...there also issues of honesty and money management no doubt..which im finding hard to handle too =P SALE SALE SALE!
