Poots and I in the studio getting ready for the G2000 Shoot.

We had a chance to get to shoot for the G2000 Winter/Fall Collection recently,
and I am loving their new range of apparels!
Especially the winter jacket and the studded top that I was assigned to wear,
looking real effortless gorgeous.

We had our make up done by this professional who always freelances for SPH.
and I like they way she does make up,
should have gotten her contact!

Poots doing her make up first.

All sorts of brand.

I like my usual pair of shoes and here is the new jacket I got from pearlavish.
The cutting of it is really pretty and i like the flap in front.

We could pick outfits that best represents what we like here.

Shoot was simple and we went over to Ann Siang Hill for a few snapshots at night.
Dinner was at this place that serves great pull-porked and ribs and it was my second time back there.

In anycase,
watch out for us (and yalin shot too!) in STYLE Magazine November Issue!

Here's another green dress that is by pearlavish,
and with a simple blazer you will look smart for work and presentations too.

Birthday means full of eating,
and a high dosage of sweet stuff for a couple of days.

I was gladly overwhelmed by the sweet cakes from the friends and family,
and now i need to loseeee weight, so friends please help me by stuffing me with less food. :p
Here're some piccas for the past week!

Preparing to head out in my new mesh top dress from The Tinsel Rack.

Comes with a sash, but i kinda like to wear my belt outside the jacket.

Zihui gave me a lil surprise after my finance class. )

Wearing a new summer dress from The Tinsel Rack for the birthday lunch!

And the great thing about birthdays is you get to catch up with friends,
enjoy the time and talk about anything under the sun over an awesome meal.
Plus, you get to check out new places or visit your favourite places.

But well, we love to explore new places and here's one that the dear girls researched on,
and woohoo! It's great and extremely unique.
Read on to find out.

This cafe is called the .
Situated at a narrow street beside a Mosque at 35 Mayo Street and somewhere near The Verge (Shopping mall) at little india,
it is a small French & European casual cafe that one could miss it upon walking along the street.

The first amazing thing I stepped into the whole cafe was that,
it is opened and solely owned by ONE Indian chef,
As simple as it is, there is only him and another indian waiter who operate the business everyday.

Their last order was 2pm and they close at 3pm to take a short break before dinner,
and fortunately dear yalin called to request them to wait for us as we were running late.

Furnishing was simple, kinda on the monochrome theme,
but i kinda enjoyed looking at the antiques and the paintings hanging around.

it would have been better if there were soft music playing at the background to enjoy the delicacies,
and I am wondering how does the restaurant look at night..

 

The two dear girls that specially arranged this lunch for me! <3333

Linny love <3 and a tired looking me.

Hungry us waiting eagerly for our feast!

And finally the food is here!

Appetizer- Cheese Brie
SGD $12.90

This is definitely perfect for you if you are a cheese lover,
there is great abundance of cheese oozing out upon cutting it,
and the top layer is filled with a thin layer of crisps!
We love the sides- frozen fruits that came with this dish!

But i kinda thought it wasn't worth $12.90 for that small portion.

Appetizer- Foie Gras

I love love love Foie Gras,
I know its a sin to eat this, and kinda inhuman,
but it taste sooooooo goood.

Main- Lamb Shank
SGD $23.90 (if i didn't remember wrongly)

Introducing my favourite of the day, I love this lamb shank the most.
Comes in a huge portion, and drenched in a whole lot of rich brown sauce,
it tasted just as good as it looks.

The best part was their tender marinated meat, and they are definitely generous with this whole dish.

Main – Sliced Beef for the set lunch
SGD $16.50

This was good too, love the sauce and the pan fried crispy potatoes!

Main – Duck Confit
SGD $22.90

Yalin told me this was the recommended dish by many upon visiting the black sheep cafe,
but i thought it was a lil dry, probably it wasn't accompanied by any sauce.
The meat was tender and juicy though, and the rosti was an absolute great side dish as well.

Try this cafe if you are looking for a cosy lil french cafe without a pinch in the wallet.

THE BLACK SHEEP CAFE
35 Mayo Street
(opposite sim lim towers)
They are opened from Monday to Saturday.
Time: 11.30am to 3pm & 6.30pm to 11pm.
For reservations:92721842 62925772

And here's what the dear girl, linny made for me. <3

With great effort and love, linny is one of the kindest and sweetest souls on earth,
no doubts about that.,

Love you my dear girl!

Loved, loved, loved.
That's all i need to know

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

It's past 12am!
I had a crazy week rushing assignments and mugging for tests, (and for upcoming test),
but nevertheless, the groupie made the weekend an awesome and funfilled one by giving the october babies in the group a fabulous surprise!
Thank you for each and everyone for the wishes for this 22nd,
and it feels really loved and blessed to get each's greetings,
especially from everyone in the groupie!! D

Happy Birthday to the three of us in the group, Joseph, Yixiong and Myself!

And not to forget, Happy Birthday to the friends who share the same birthday as me too,
Jon the big brother, Justin my TP buddy, Terence (Mr Lim) from SP but known from TP, Yanny from Majolica, Claire (Ms chong) and Hilde from NUS!

And look what came in time for birthday dinners!

I love the electric blue and the bandaged part of this toga (yes my favourite!!) dress,
all the way complimentary from Megagamie (thank you verra!)
and i wore this for one my birthday dinner last week!

Denim is in the trend too.
What's great is i can eat buffet with this dress (and I did! hahaha),
and yet the design helps to accentuate your waist line.
Best in both worlds!

 
And need I mention more about this?
HIGH WAIST totally rocks, and I had a really hard time deciding which colour to get cuz i know i will wear it often.
and teehee, i actually got two colours from them! love it love it!
Check out more colours from Megagamie!

I'm back folks!

Its a Sunday, and I feeling a bit of Monday Blues here. Boo!
Hope you guys aren't feeling this way,
because we shouldn't let this tiny bit of blues to spoil the remaining time of our previous weekend.

And why not let me share my BB-MM?
Which is a Bea's Breakfast for Motivational Monday. Hahahahahaha,

Let me share my own recipe for a breakfast I made last week!

I thought it looks yummy cuz of the strawberries,
and you can get this up within just minutes!

Its in fact very healthy food, (as recommended from my mother)
and its Strawberry Oat Meal with Flakes.
Apparently Oat is a very good source of fibre,
and girls, we should start eating it as meals because Oat helps dieting! 
I researched and found this explanation for it…..

"Not only it is a delicious dish for breakfast,
it is also a dish that helps in reducing your hunger,
thereby helping you stick to your diet plan.
This is because the fiber in oats forms gels to fill up.
And it is these gels that delay the emptying of your stomach so that you don’t feel hungry quickly. "

Easy peasy, low cost and healthy,
you just need to get:
1. Instant Oatmeal from your usual NTUC, Cold Storage etc.
2. Whatever ingredients that you want to add into the oatmeal porridge.

To keep it as healthy as possible,
I added it my favourite strawberries
and also sweetened cornflakes to give it a slight sweet and crunchy taste!

My first time at MBS was actually attending Vel dear's 23rd Birthday at a HUGE SUITE!

 

It was absolutely awesome because there was a theme and everyone was extremely spontaneous about it.
Love themed parties and that's always the highlight of the gathering.

If you realised, the theme is MAFIAS and recalling the night,
I totally kudos to everyone for going all out for Vel.

Even Bryan too… this is hilarious.
Rach was asking Bryan to pose with me with the flowers on his hand,
and the black flower clip on his HAIR! :p

Look at how Mafia he went, (the tattoo stocking on the arm). Coolbeans.

Here's titus and lihui and….. fred's bag that i couldn't resist carrying it because it looks too unique.

The birthday specs!

Doing the Lovebonito poses! hahahaha

Here comes cake cutting session…

We had cups with our own names.

Uncle and Auntie was totally spontaneous too!

And we tried out the new camera of Rach!
Look at how it captures all of us.

Hope Vel had a blast that night,
and It was a fabulous party which i love every single bit of it!

I think I am kinda into TOGAS recently,
and unknowingly, I was browsing through my pictures and I was almost in different togas for different occasions.
But 3 words- I LOVE TOGAS!

 
White and black bandaged skirt which can be easily transformed into party outfit, or work outfit.
Just a blazer or cardigan on and you are perfect for work!

And my next favourite colour is actually RED.
My phone cover is red, room walls are red, and nails are red.
Try red it rocks! :p

Convertible dresses are also a favourite,
you can wear it in between lesser intervals and in many different kinds of way too!

i love the M-shaped black tube that comes with this piece,
Quality is definitely there, and off with some simple accessories and done!

If you were going to ask where did i get these lovely pieces,
these above 3 pieces are specially from The Design Closet!

Here's Taiwan Day 4, and this entry marks the end of Day 4 too.

We visited Dan Shui for the next half of the day.
This place is like the end of the MRT stations, (something like Jurong Station).

We were greeted with different kind of view,
more towards the nature side with the sea and all,
and guess what?! I heard JAY CHOU has a cafe there!

But we only found out after when we got back,
and didn't have a chance to try it.

Without knowing what's actually good there,
except for the famous YU SONG (fish crackers) and Tie Dan (Iron eggs).
Got a map and decided to check out dan shui lao jie.

Woo, i love this kinda streets in Taiwan,
whereby you find a lot of small carts here and there,
and sometimes chance upon real unique stuff.

This ice cream stall has certainly great business.
Looking at the queue, we had one each too.

But it was disappointing!
Its not rich and creamy as the colour looks,
but more of plain soft ice with minimal flavour.
Apple told me we should try it at Ximending though.

Try this is you by-pass the stall, its pink guava and extremely thirst quenching!

They have Naraya too, but well, for Naraya, there's only one place- BANGKOK!

Chilled ones are awesome!

A big bulldog.

Spent a while shopping here for accessories!

Wee? Singapore's delight is here?
But nah, i don't like durians!

It was drizzling and we went to seek shelter at this exquisite looking dessert shop.

They have limited choices,
and it seems like each and every piece is made specially.
We tried these two:

Banana Chocolate Cake which was simply delicious!
Each thin layer of chocolate crepe has real rich chocolatey taste!

And an ice-cream crepe!

The night came shortly after,
and feeding on all the fried food for days,
we figured out its time to have some fishball soup.

and oh gosh, if you are going to dan shui, please visit this shop! <3

Poots needs to get sour plum back for her mom,
and this owner offered to take a picture for us out of sudden,
and then we realised straight away- he's using tourists (us) for marketing!

Bought a cheap but really cute umbrella.
Love it to bits.

The night market.

And after a long day of walking,
Poots concussed while we trained back to our hotel.

Stay tuned for the last couple of days of Taiwan!

It has been a week since I have updated,
but school has been really tied this week!

I have a paper to sit tomorrow, and one the next day,
but I have an eventful weekends for the past two weeks which I am gonna blog about them soon!
And finally got my day 4 of taiwan trip pics ready and stay tuned for that too ;D

Last weekend was a different one because i had a FLEA at supperclub!
It was my first time holding a flea, and fortunately,
I have to thank TeeBoxx for providing a complimentary booth for myself to sell my gazillion pre-loved items.
But I got my lovely girlfriends to join in too,
and we had a booth full of as many items as a brick and motar shop might have.
Imagine how heavy it was to carry everything there :\

I was in the mood for geeky specs,
and something different to dress for the Flea-kend!

The comfy and super good material dress from which makes moving around easy,
and a simple pumps to match the outfit will do.
Versatile dress, I would say.
It was supposed to be a elegant dress but I thought it could be worn casual too.

The main entrance of our booth!

Our lunch, mc's nuggets, all time favourite.
 

Haslinda came to support us too! <3

Apple the awesome sales woman

Yalin is the next top sales person

The guys came to support too, and very helpful to help bring all our barangs to the club!!

Pretty Peggy was there too!
Great to see you once again, pegs!!

Koi for teabreak!

Playing with Caleen's camera in the random intervals…

We did make a profit at the end of the day,
but the girls made the whole day there a great one,
especially the hthts in between and time definitely zoomed that very day.

Do come visit us next time if we have a flea again!

I am off to head to bed after this, and guess what's upcoming to blog next?
 
heh, i had an awesome weekend and here's a peeeeeek.

Wore two new dresses by Almost Famous once again to this place for a stayover.
I am sure if you seen pictures around, you will know I went there again!
But this time round, it was with a different group and boy,
we took 1000 photos within a night!!

You absolutely have to see those photos, and I bet you are gonna laugh your head off.

I love this dress by AF.
Always in love with togas, and toga dresses are a plus point. :p
The material of this is superb and love that I do not have to put on much accessories and its good to go..

I brought along another outfit by them in due for the night plans,
and weeeeeee, love the colour of this piece and the design too.
I must say AF does have a great taste in clothes (well, at least for my preference, these few are my favourites of the lot!)

Just like the classic black, Nude dresses will never go wrong!
