I Love Chocolate Cake!

2011-09-30T21:54:00.005+08:00

If I can eat chocolate everyday for every meal, I would but it would be detrimental to my waistline ;p We celebrated Shirley 姐's birthday last week and I bought a birthday cake for her from Glace Patisserie. It cost $40 for 500gm but it was completely worth it. At the request of Her Majesty, I won't post photos of the celebration but here's one of the cake. It's really, really good! It's the

Chilly Days

2011-09-29T01:29:00.000+08:00

It's been rather cold in the mornings lately, a good time to bring out all the jackets and cardigans out for show. I think I like the look of belting my cardigans and such, looks slimmer, haha! Only one photo, taken after a satisfying dinner, New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Drive!

Stone Soldiers

2011-09-25T23:51:00.001+08:00

Went to the Asian Civilisations Museum to view the Terracotta Warriors Exhibition as it was free for August. Dragged my parents along for the ride. ;) The dagger hilt on the right is actually made out of gold! The highly detailed carriage and horses. Even the armour was really impressive. A life sized bronze crane. And the highlights of the exhibition, the Terracotta Warriors. Other

Or is she saying I look young, hee... Anyway, I took these photos at 12AM, so excuse the weird tired smiles. What I wore: Dress,; from Holland Drive, belt; from Dad's shop, tights; This Fashion,

Human Nature

2011-09-18T21:50:00.001+08:00

Is it human nature to always put one's self interests above others' without consideration? Even when the matter involves family? It seems selfish to ask someone to sacrifice their house just so one can get the kind of house one wants. In the first place, if you had asked and made sure, then there wouldn't be all this grumbling about how small the new flat you will be getting is. Oh, please! Be

Also a good time to test drive my new Panasonic camera, so far so good :) Actually took a few videos but didn't realise the settings were for HD TV viewing, too bad, they were good (in my biased opinion).

IKEA Small Spaces

2011-08-20T21:56:00.003+08:00

Was surfing IKEA UK and found that they have a section dedicated to small spaces. Too bad IKEA Singapore doesn't have it. Especially since most of us live in HDB flats or condos. Would be really useful and inspiring when planning our homes. I like the bedroom and bathroom the most. What about you?

And the thing is, I bought a whole bunch of different coloured tights from Jshoppers.com a while ago and till now, I've only worn 2 pairs out of a set of 10. Should really try mixing them in somehow into my office wear, the temperature out there is working against me though. Kept the outfit simple so that the

Especially since Tuesday was a holiday (National Day in Singapore! Happy Belated Birthday!), making going to work for just a day a tad irritating. And colours make me happy, so why not? I try not to wear too much black, black is like the

Was lazy to switch bags during the week and luckily the bag worked well with all the outfits, despite its Apple Green colour. Just the other day, a colleague commented, "Your bag is so green!" Not sure she meant it as why would I buy a bag of this colour or that this shade of green is

I love the colours white and blue, in fact, my wardrobe has tons of clothes in this colours, I think I have three or four dresses in blue and quite a few tops and dresses in white. And I like the fact that the colours compliment the leopard print on the bag. Wendy Sis bought this top for me around 2 years back. You can't tell from the first two photos but there's actually some elaborate

2011-07-18T18:39:00.001+08:00

It's actually more like "raiding my house's storeroom", haha! Mom was spring cleaning the other day and we found some old wedding dresses from like 20 years ago. See, one of my aunts used to be a seamstress and according to my Mom, she made this dresses for one of my uncles' wedding. Gosh, the one with the train is so heavy, I wonder how did the bride move?! But they are really classic wedding

From Getty Images. A very close runner up, I still like Emma's more - probably due to the tulle, I love tulle! And also, Emma's dress is more summery in feel while Clemence's is more heavier- but this one is gorgeous as well, isn't it? It is a Nina Ricci. Still, I may be biased but I think Emma was best dressed at the premiere hands down. Evanna Lynch's and Bonnie Wright's choices were alright

Well, when Wendy Sis was packing for her move to Shanghai, she gave me some stuff and one of the items was this quirky, colourful top. It's really comfortable, very suitable for our humid weather. I think it is made of like linen, cotton material? This actually isn't the first time I wore this but is the

Out of the blue, she bought something for me and said this is my birthday present this year (my birthday was last month)!

The dress is too short and baggy for me to wear it just by itself, making wearing something else underneath with a belt a must. Which is sad as I think it would have looked nice on its own.

Photo source: shopsss.com Due Mel Sis deciding to bake a cake suddenly, we went to FairPrice Xtra at Jurong Point at 2 am in the morning to get the missing ingredients. Of course, the road was literally empty. At the basement. It was like a ghost town, such a contrast with the usual jam packed crowd in the day. Choosing ingredients for next day's dinner. Our 战利品. It's actually very nice to go in

And Singapore is already such a darn small place so I don't have the excuse of "Oh, it's so far" or "It's not accessible". So in case you are like me and you have never been to Arab street and/or Haji Lane, hopefully the photos will

2009-07-28T20:20:00.017+08:00

A cousin of mine returned recently from the States after two years due to her husband being posted there. We were at her new flat in Bishan (I think.) and found some of the most adorable furniture and stuff in her girls' room. She has four children, the eldest being a few months older than Ramecia and the youngest a few months.While in the States, she went to those yard sales that we always see

Dramas I'm watching now

2009-07-28T01:03:00.009+08:00

1) 痞子英雄仔仔! There's a movie coming up for this I think? 2) 敲敲愛上你 I started watching because my sis happened to have the novel it was adapted from so I know the ending and was keen to see how were they going to interpret it on the screen. The ending kind of sucked, it's the kind of ending I have not anticipated from a drama that had a lot of time to plan how they were going to end the story.

Alexis' 3rd Birthday - 31 May 09

2009-07-27T22:11:00.010+08:00

Actually, her birthday is on 2nd June, but we celebrated it earlier. Yes, the 2nd princess in the house has turned 3! Being a very broke aunt, I provided the cupcakes (decorated by Mel Sis) and the apple pies, not bad for my first try, I garnered from the comments. V^^V And of course, she was spoilt rotten by other guests with gifts like a kitchen playset and a playdough set complete with those "

Yup, I took part in Earth Hour 2009 on 28th Mar. More like I switched off the lights, but my laptop and television were still on. (^^)''' Does that count?? Oh, and I TRIED to switch off all the lights, but Shirley Sis was not supportive of the whole idea. (<_<) Anyway, we had our dinner among the candlelights. Romantic, yes? NOT! Here's some photos of the candles and Ramecia in the dark.

Today was rather interesting. To tell the truth, it started out badly. It's the last day to pay RELC our UOL exam fees and as per usual, I procrastinated till the last day. First, I made the mistake of missing out a few words on the cheque. So to make the deadline, I had to rush to Holland to get the $$$ from my Dad and back to RELC. In total, I spent close to 30 bucks on cabs today! (--)'''When

Wasted Years

You know how everyone is always saying your time in university would be some of your best years in your life? Not so for me. I don't regret the cozy small group of friends I've made in SIM and Ngee Ann. What I do regret is that I am not as adventurous as I was before. In secondary, I was in the choir and student council, and I had fun and a great time. But during my years at Ngee Ann and SIM, I

On 14 September 2008, Feng and Charlie had their wedding.... At my home...We decided to gather at my place and set off together...

Ok, so I'm a little "lazy" to have a post for each recent event, so this is a Cliff Notes version of everything.1) I passed my exams! One more year to go! And suffice to say, I am so NOT looking forward to graduating next year like before with what has been happening right now, which leads to...2) I am still working at the same place, except part-time now. When the Lehman Bros news came out, I

One just does not change one's beliefs and love overnight

2008-08-04T10:00:00.006+08:00

I'm saying that to those people who call themselves "fans" of Ohno and Arashi but now say they will stop supporting them just because of the drug scandal. People, please use what sensibility that you are born with and think. How would Arashi feel about all those malicious comments floating around on the Internet? How would Riida feel? Why add fuel to the fire? Why can't you just leave the matter
