I don't plan on finding a job till after Chinese New Year, so that gives me about a month more of leisure time. It's gonna be GOOOOD, and I'm gonna complete the list of all the things I want to do. I love making lists, cos I love the sense of accomplishment when I strike things off those lists.
Here's yet another photo of Shaggy
Accompanied Gen to Ikea the other day. She was driving and I was craving the Swedish meatballs, how could I say no? Thanks for driving, Gen!! She wanted to go Ikea to buy a chair cos she broke hers :S
This amazing mirror elongates and gives you the illusion that you're slim! Though I would love to have it in my room/all over my house, I don't want a false image of myself. Besides, it won't motivate me to lose weight at all.
Sunday tea in town
Proud to say, I made this top (above). Yes, 7 balls of cotton yarn, hand-knitted into a top. Charis Koh label lolol.
When photos of the A&F models were posted online, I really didn't give a shit and didn't think it was a big deal. But.. when we were there next Sunday, I was like..
"OMG, I hafta take a photo with them!!"
All of them are hot, duh. But some of them are really good-looking!!! Mostly the non-asian ones (surprise surprise).
This photo above literally made me happy for like a day, I'm saying this at the risk of sounding bimbotic.
Dinner at Din Tai Fung with family
I love dim sum
Given that Singapore is extremely boring, going to new cafe which has great ambience and deco with a good friend and chat for hours is my favourite thing to do.
This was a small cafe along Upper Paya Lebar Road
They serve tea and scones and other pastries.
I was so fascinated with that piano cos the keys were playing on their own, freakin cool.
Lovin' my Anthropologie wedges from New York.
Sigh, miss that place so much. I wonder when will be the next time I get to go :'(
Anyway, speaking of NYC. To those of you whom I told, remember how I went crazy make-up shopping and brought back like 2KG worth of cosmetics? Was digging through my cosmetic box the other day and found many items I forgot I purchased. It was like shopping all over again! Just that they're already paid for which makes it even better.
Found this shade of M.A.C lipstick which is gorgeous! Everyone should get this, it's called IMPASSIONED
Baked Red Velvet cupcakes (icing hasn't been spread on yet) with Fenni for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. The cupcakes taste and look lovely. Good job to both of us cos it's our first time baking this flavour. After that day, I swore to myself that I'm not going to bake for a long time cos I don't really enjoy baking in the first place. I only do so cos I luv the results and eating cupcakes and cookies and cakes and whatever people bake at home.
But baking is so.. the mixing, the hassle of getting ingredients, the washing up, the heat from the oven.. Gosh. Just bring me to Magnolia Bakery to buy cupcakes. Unfortunately, Singapore doesn't have Magnolia Bakery or any place that sells cupcakes which are as good.
Saturday lunch in town
The Fish Garlic Pesto Linguine was sooo goood
It's been forever since I had a meal with Mavis, my super cute and bimbotic cousin.
I wanted to go to Hatched but it is closed on Mondays, had lunch at Mandarin Gallery instead.
I wanted to try Wild Honey, she wanted to try Antoinette.
"Why not we share a main course at one and then share another one at the other?"
GREAT IDEA
Smoked Salmon Crepe at Antoinette
English Breakfast at Wild Honey
It was such a great lunch, the idea was great and I was freakin full after.
My 3rd time sleeping at Sarah's for a Lost marathon. Earlier this month, after her NUS exams, we started watching Lost cos we've never watched before. This was initiated on Twitter and we are watching it together cos we both feel it's too scary to watch Lost alone. Yes, Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle are considered scary shows as well.
I am very proud to say that we are at Season 3 of Lost now, and the show so far is sooo good and kinda mind fucking. I honestly am incapable of remembering every detail of the storyline and get confused at times, during which Sarah scolds me and orders me to get out of her house LOL
Esther, her really cute niece, came over today. I saw her in photos before and found her really cute, but she's MUCH cuter in real life
LOOK AT HER!!! 'I got your back'
My bare-faced photo with Esther. My hair is really fucking shiok, flying in all directions, horrible
She was watching Hi-5. OMG look at her chubby face, sho adorable!!!!
Anyway there's been a lot of unnecessary commotion going on in Singapore lately; the Aaron Tan video and the breakdown of the SMRT
regarding the Aaron Tan vid: I didn't even finish watching 1 min of the video and I was already complete disgusted. He's a bad representation of Singaporeans in general but I honestly don't get why it went so viral in the cyber world. So many video responses and responses to the first responses. Keep it up ah everybody, just keep talking to your recording webcam.
regarding the SMRT breakdown: IF THE MRT SERVICE BREAKDOWNS, take another mode of efficient transport besides the train- er.. maybe the public buses? You people never take buses before? Even if you don't know which bus to take, check the bus directory which is at every single bus stop or check google maps on your iPhone/Blackberry. In the first place, how can you not know how to get around this tiny island. No wonder the general Singaporeans go on tours when they go overseas cos they don't bother/are too stupid to find their way around a foreign land. Anyway, GOOD JOB making the SMRT breakdown issue a big whoo-ha. It's as though if the trains don't work temporarily, your life will be over.
If this happened in another country, what would the commuters there do?? Let's look at New York (fast paced and famous city mind you): Subways are 24 hours and god knows why, but some maintenance are done during the day. When the train service breaks down/maintenance is going on, there'll be a sign to notify commuters. The sign is only but a piece of paper pasted on the wall at the underground platform. Thus, only after people have entered the subway (tap card zone) and gone down the staircase (no escalators) then will they see the sign. What do they do? They 'tap' out and go back upstairs to the main street to take the bus or cab to wherever they're heading to. That's it. They move on.
Adapt. And get over it.
Why all the rage tweeting/criticism on facebook, Singapore..
Singapore is indeed so boring that the general public have so much time to harp on the little little issues that happen around here.
