Never Enough.

 
Goodbye Sunday and it's a new week tomorrow.

Officially three more weeks to the end of internship, but a handful are leaving after this week. :(
Was supposed to leave this coming week as well but I wanna finish the projects that my mentor kindly included me in,
so the work days are extended two more weeks till the end of July.

Good to be busy, and right after that on August 4-10,
I am going TAIWAN for a week of holiday!

Can't wait, can't wait. It is one destination which my friends can't stop going after visiting there once,
must be one helluva great place to visit.
Gonna spend Singapore Birthday there as well.

I find dressing up for work is a kind of motivation because we girls get to enjoy dressing workish,
feel good at the same time,  and get excited wearing new clothes! :p
Of course, casual outfits are never ending because of the everybody-look-forward weekends.

Clothes are just never enough and I just get myself into dilemma every time during BC shoot,
and Rach's shoot is no exception. Rach just launched her collection and woweewooo, I love these!


omgomg, Nude pink blazer that totally shouts I WANT when I first saw it,
purple seems to be my kinda colour recently…



Took this to wear to work!!!!! :D DD
(oh yes, love my highwaisted work pants, don't ask me where I bought it cuz i totally can't remember the shop that I bought it from)
Love the nude shade one especially, all of us love the colour in fact.


What more can i say about the chiffon mini, BCians?
 

Oh gosh, Maxi maxi maxi, never never never enough for me.

Didn't think olive green will suit me, but surprisingly, i have a liking for the olive green one too.
Knitted top, everybody needs one.

Thank you to rach dearest for always being so generous and kind, in fact, jie and vel too,
I bet you girls know the excitement of getting new clothes,
and the heart twitching when you can't get the piece you set your eyes on.
hahaha, and yay to excitement!! You girls will love the pieces too. :)

Talking about outfits and styles, I shall share a few that I like and get inspiration from!

 


Love each and every of their styles.

Be back tomorrow to blog about the surprise party we had for our two dear girls.
This time round we had a theme, make a guess…

TGIF

TGIF!
Had a random meet up with TP seniors, Justin, Alan and Jodin last week finally after at least a year!

Good to see all of them and am glad that they are all doing well ever since graduation,
and woohoo, all of them are in F&B industry, and Jodin is a chef at a restaurant at Dempsey but moving to another one at Fort Canning Park.
Definitely gonna find some time and get the whole bunch to patronize the restaurant to get a taste of our very own cook!

KPO used to be one of my favourite chill out places, but I think its kinda died down after a while.
Apparently, they just changed a chef and have a new menu which sells like Abalone Noodles at SGD$55!

Sounds pretty absurd and a bit mismatch to the type of cuisine and place,
but oh well, who knows, it might taste real good.. hmmmmm.
 


Looking real tired on a Friday night. Saturday is still my favourite day always!
 

Jodin and Alan


Justin and the lips


Hello Chef, we are so going to try your cooking!


It will never be a fun Friday without pooty poots.

Thank goodness for dresses invention, because it definitely save so much time mixing and matching clothes.
Sometimes, you just feel so lazy and would just wanna wear something more yet less,
and a simple black dress plays it all.

Hehe, of course, thank you to pearlavish for the Friday night out blackie dress!

 
 

I love earthy colours and I think they go well with the skin, making you look not too over, in the perfect subtle way of dressing up.
This dress is one of Pearlavish highlights too, look at the cute looking cloud pattern at the collar.

im dead beat today.
one more day to the weekend for a good rest, and pardon me for the lag of replies in emails and comments,
will do so over the weekends, but rest assured, will absolutely get back to all!

Have a good Friday folks!

Finally, the colour, my colour!

 

Just came back from BC warehouse sales!

It was ultra, ultra sardine-packed but it was definitely worth while because everything was on sale, and there were soooo many designs around!
Girls and shopping, but the guys probably won't comprehend how girls and clothes go along, but I would say it's an interest that never dies. :p


The crowd!


Jie and Vel behind the sales. And rach in the pinky flora skirt.

 

My internship days are left with less than a month, and I am feeling a tad of mixed feelings.

A part of me am not exactly looking forward to back to school due to the fact that I would need to rush all my remaining modules this upcoming semester. And I would need to take an extra one because I took one less during one semester back then. Coupled with another fact that there are quite a few finance mods, I foresee that it will be an extremely hectic semester.

The other part is that I started to feel a lil sad knowing that the internship is ending as there are so many things there that I want to learn, yet to be learned and so many other areas that I can barely get in touch in the next last few weeks. No doubt, the past two months in the company has been really fulfilling, thanks to a great mentor, many mentors in fact and a great tiger boss (a cool title the colleagues came out with). Well, I shall treasure the time left to complete my projects, appreciate them at the same time and learn more things!

Other than work, the culture there is pretty cool, birthdays, team gatherings and events are definitely highlights of work too.

A few random shots that I got from a couple of occasions happening during work.

 
An event at four seasons with Norizan (left), and at the pantry celebrating lynnette's birthday.


Weee, took this standing at the pantry window glass. Awesomeeeeeeeeeeee.


The team, my buddy Ana is missing…

Like how i always say, these people make me look forward to the weekends once again.

The whole of Saturday was spent outside with the girlfriends and we went to catch Eclipse movie together. Sorry to those twilight fans, but eclipse is kinda boring. Zzzz. Too much talking and there wasn't any particular good story line for this third movie. But I am waiting for the next one though, the last part which supposedly the most exciting part. :D

 
Grocery shopping <3


Applepie and leney


:)

And before I go into details, look at those pictures above..
I need to give a shout out that,
I LOVE MY NEW HAIR COLOUR AGAIN!!!!!!

 

Remember my previous satisfied experience at Salon Vim?
 

This time I came out beaming with smiles again.

I know you must be thinking how true can it be that I always love every experience, or every hair service that I did there.
But the truth is that, both John (my stylist) and Gary (the boss) are certainly very sincere people who make sure everytime I visit them,
I leave with a smiling face, looking completely satisfied with the change and ensure that I get what i feel like doing, and doing them right for me. 

Though skills of stylists are important, but I personally feel that
how the stylist can relate and know exactly what the customers want is another virtue.

For this, kudos to John and Gary, they are no doubt, my faithful stylist and director respectively, who understands just the look I want my hair to be in.

It was absolutely generous of them to change a total hair look for me once again,
and if my colleagues didn't mention to me,
I haven even realised how frequent I changed my hair look, especially the colour!

This time round, I absolutely love love love the ash brown base that I dyed, together with blond highlights.
They are in the perfect shade of brown that I always wanna achieve (my colleagues like the brown too!)
and the highlights combination is weeeee!
And now I know, the brown I always wanted is called ash brown, just that it has so many different kind of shades,
so have to choose the right one to match my highlights so that it won't go too bright or off colour.

 

As a matter of fact, I actually trial an error a lot of times trying to get the perfect combination of brown and blonde.
Here's an example of a FAILED ONE.


Super yellow yellow, zzzzzzzzzzz.

I hope i don't have the ah lian face!!!
If not, i am sure many who saw me back then with this hair must be screaming ah lian in their mind. -.-

 

Hehe I shall end off with a last picture of my new colour, 
and though I got oily hair scalp (hence i don't dare to use colour shampoo as there is supposedly a "coat of oil" to help retain the hair colour longer),
am not gonna care and insist myself to use it cuz I wanna this colour to last longer!!!

Thanks to Salon Vim and Loreal to provide me with HAIR SLEEPING MASK (omg, technology is super wayyyy advance now) ,
hair conditioner and Highlighted hair shampoo,
I'll absolutely make sure the colour last longer (at least two weeks) than usual. lol.

 

And just as I thought hair colour does only subtle change to the feel of appearance and the first impression of one,
I guess I am wrong on this.
Poots say there is a big difference after I dyed red the previous time,
and when i changed my hair colour to this NEW colour,
my colleagues immediately spot on to it the first thing in the morning, and well, being the curious cat,
I then to ask whoever who spotted the change which colour is nicer, Red or this brown?

 

And ah…^%%#$^$&$%^
About half said the red is nice, and I looked more matured and fairer, fresh as there is more contrast with the skin.
another half said this brown suits me better, and I look younger, tanner, more funky and hip with this colour.

Ahhhhhhhhhh… I am not exactly adventurous so I always stick to the safest colour to dye my hair.
Thought that after I dye this colour, I know which suits me better and stick to that one.
And NOW, im in a dilemma for my next colour…… maybe, i shall alternate or how about purple next??!?! :p
