Off i go!

*Excited.

Im going on a field trip with fellow smu-ians to Malacca! Its gonna be an “educational” trip but cos im going with so many classmates, it will definitely be fun! Before i took the module “Gene cells” i didnt know we have to participate in a field trip. Though i dont see the connection between genes & cells with plantations & orchards, but its okay lah! Only worry is perhaps, mosquitoes. Like thousands of them. The though of it irks me.

But im definitely looking forward to the hotel stay @ Marriott Renaissance and the banquet dinner which is supposed to be more formal dining. And the dress code is smart casual. I hate smart casual cos shirts are involved. Hate wearing shirts. Stiff and square. A few of us decided to heck the dress code and wear the usual stuff we wear in school!

A’right, i promise lotsa photos when im back! )

“Blessing in disguise.”

It applies to almost every incident/happening in my life.

I should count myself lucky eh?

At the very least, it always turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Or maybe, thats the more delightful and optimistic way of looking at things.

Models Needed

Yesh, im still frantically looking for suitable models. Position available.

Interested please contact me @ geo@mdscollections.com asap. MDS really need more models. Actually i only have 1 simple criteria, but it seems very difficult too. Im looking for a girl who’s really versatile, meaning she can take on different styles of apparels and look good & natural. If you think you have this ability, pls dont hesitate to apply. Or anyone who reads my blog; if you have friends whom you think are suitable, please get back to us. Thank You.

Allowance can be negotiated if she’s more experienced and suitable.

Easy job, all about taking pictures and looking pretty and above all, you get to wear nice apparels! )

sale, sale, sale

Just went to M)phosis sale 2 days ago. Its was much better this year as compared to last year. More pretty stuffs were on sale for like 50-70%! Worth all the waking up early and lack of sleep, hah. Thanks to Eunice who unconditionally helped me to choose clothes that she thinks suit me cos’ i cant make it in time when they just opened. But anyways, when i was there, it was already packed with ppl! Really packed. I dont get a chance to try my clothes at all cos the queue looked really scary, so i just assume i can wear since its tagged S. Fortunately, i can really fit. Bought 3 dresses, 1 long top & 1 necklace for only 83 bucks! Good buy eh.  Love their off-shoulders. Always have this ‘thing’ for off shoulders, cant resist not to buy them.

And guess what? According to reliable sources, Tangs’ sale is this wed. Haha. How can i miss it again? Im so gonna shop using my citibank card cos there’s 12% rebate!

Such a shopaholic. Cant stand myself.

Sweet Valentine’s

This year’s V day was simple yet meaningful. We didnt parade the streets with roses and balloon or went to a lavish and posh restaurant to enjoy the typical V day couple’s dinner, neither did we spend alot of time searching for each other’s presents. Haha, its not that we are sick of each other but rather, we want practicality. He said to me, “This year lets be practical. We will go shopping for each other’s present together and buy something that we really like.” Hm, this idea was quite fresh. Well, to us, it might also be a very good excuse since we are both so busy with our lives.:) Before that i also suggested to him that maybe i should attempt to cook for him. And he was like over the moon. Its amazing to him cos he knows i hardly cook and i hate cooking. On top of that, i simply dunno how to cook.

I googled how to cook Chicken Piccata with mashed potato and stir-fried french beans & mushrooms cos that was a dish i learnt how to cook during my hospitality management days @ TP. On Vday itself, everything went quite smoothly! The chicken was pan-fried to crispy golden brown and the mashed potato tasted fabulous! Same goes for the french beans though it took quite awhile to cook and the mushrooms was a little too salty. Besides that, it was delicious! Of course, he was absolutely touched, or at least i hope so.

After the sumptuous meal, we went out to town and shop for our presents. I finally got him a pair of suave-looking shoes from Pedro. Sidetrack a bit, after less than 24 hours, Pedro actually launched a 10% storewide sale the next day!! I was like wth.

As for him, he bought this Kate Spade handbag for me which i simply adore. Its quite ex, so i didnt let him pay the full amount, my poor bf. Obviously, i shouldnt let him finance my expensive bag. So he paid half of it and i paid the other half. Actually at first i wanted to buy this wallet from KS, its like coated with gold shimmer leather and the inner of the wallet is my fav color-HOT PINK! But i cant find that model in both outlets so i browsed around the shop and saw this really loud and pretty bag! I love it cos the shape is “user-friendly” and not bulky and i totally dig KS’s unique design in every piece of their product. Its not a really prestige brand like LV or Gucci(which i dont like) but i feel that the designs are given more detailed thoughts and the price im paying really justifies the design and quality.

The website dont have the bag in electric blue color but the retail got the bags in green, white/silver and electric blue. And i got the blue one!

That BIG unanswered question

What is it that i really want?

I kept asking myself but i have no answer. On one hand, my heart says follow him…go with my emotions and feelings but on the other hand, the logical side of me tells me no.

So, what should i do then?

Will i feel okay? How would life be when you are not around?

Peaceful & quiet…or perhaps, empty and lost?

Love is the most complicated matter on earth. Its the only thing i cant figure out no matter how much time im given or how much advice someone offered me. At the end of the day, i still question myself so much about what i really want. My expectations are simple. But why does it seem like its so hard to meet? Am i asking for too much or maybe you simply cant give me?

Where has the initial chemistry, likes and affection gone? I would do everything i could to relish that magical moment all over again. In my eyes, they are always so perfect and precious. When everything else dun seem to matter, only care, passion and romance between 2 persons in love.

Right now, im crossing my fingers and hoping that this was a wise decision to make. And that we will be okay after everything is over.

CNY 2008

Taken too many photos during the 1st two days of CNY! This entry will be filled with photos taken with my family, my bf, my bros, my extended family and my bf’s family! This year’s CNY was quite enjoyable, besides the usual visiting, hongbaos and lots of lunches/dinners, my bf’s family finally get to meet my parents(as requested by my parents who were really eager to see them) and on top of that, everyone’s attached!! Both my bros and all my cousins, 6 of us together are all attached. Its funny how it never came across my mind that all of us are finally grown up and attached at the same time. My stupid bros will compare their respective halves, like who is prettier, etc. Of cos, its their sis, which is me. HAHA.

Ok, photos time!

CNY Shopping Craze

I went shopping with Eunice & Jiaming for CNY clothes yesterday, but i bought NOTHING.

Cant believe i ended up spending ZERO moolahs after 3 hrs of crazy shopping. How is that possible. Last weekend, i was also shopping for clothes @ Orchard but i only managed to buy a vest from Topshop to match with my black chiffon mini skirt which is also from Topshop. Both items are labeled “Petite”. Its freaking difficult for me to buy clothes in Singapore. Firstly, after slimming down from a full-blown S to XS and sometimes smaller than XS, it means i can ONLY fit into XS clothes. And only a handful brands in Spore have XS. I heart Topshop’s Petite corner cos thats the only place i can find my size. Its damn pathetic, i know. I cant shop at any sale, whatever GSS as much as i would love to, cos usually my sizes all ran out before i can try them on. Thats why i hate sale.

Secondly, it seems like my expectations towards clothes have gone up dramatically after doing MDS. Serious. I used to love shopping at Far East, because their stuffs are not so common and the prices are friendly too. I still remembered before 2 years ago, all my CNY outfits are bought there. I also did my last minute CNY shopping there with UG and poly frens! But now……….I stepped in and came out with nothing. I just cant bear to spend my money there because i know exactly how much these clothes really cost and where they are from. Some stuffs are even sold at MDS site because i was the one who brought them in. So, how can i buy then?

Later after my launch, im going scouting for clothes @ Vivocity. If you see me looking irritated means i still cant find anything. Freak. I have so many dinners and lunches to attend to this CNY. I need something classy and decent. Anyone recommendation? XS + Nice + Not like Far east/bugis street kinda clothes??? TIA.

Oh yah whenever i complaint about not being able to find clothes, people will ask me why i dont wanna wear the clothes i sell since i have it myself? Hm. Guess thats human nature. Or maybe “occupation sickness”(Translate from Chinese “Zhi Ye bing”). Besides my launch days and merchandising trips, i want to refrain from MDS. You know like take a break from everything. And just wear whatever clothes i like.
