If you find that the above logo looks familiar,
or you somewhat seen before,
yes, it's TEE BOXX!

You must be thinking now what is TEE Boxx,
what do they do,
where are they from,
and that's why I am here for.

For a start, here's a hint on what TEE Boxx does,
as well as something exciting planned for you specially in the next few weeks!

Yeah bobs,
TEE Boxx is started up last year by two enterprising and inspiring entrepreneurs here locally in Singapore,
and since then, they have been actively working on their business model – Events.
They aim to bring enthusiastic and passionate hobbyists to every event,
and believes that every of its clients will have a blast of a time with them.

With TEE Boxx hosting and managing events just for you,
they have in fact, organized an upcoming FLEA MARKET – Gathering of Stars for everyone,
their first ever event right smack at one of the hottest locations in town, the supperclub.

Its not called Gathering of Stars for nothing!
Tee boxx has specially invited star bloggers to go down to the flea to sell their own items too,
and weeee, I bet it would be really cool to see them,
and remember to bring along your cameras to snap a picture or two!

And did i mention to you that they have a common goal?
Which is making each and every event a huge BANG!, together with the best responses and media attraction.

if you haven been to supperclub,
here's a sneak peek of what's in for you,
imagine yourself in one of the stalls in here (see below).

or here…

And recently, I am once again hooked on Togas,
i always think toga is a minimalist outfit- a kind that shows but not too much,
and what's great about this piece that Pearlavish gave me is the one shoulder tee.
I kinda like the bandage & drappy part as well.

Other than casual dresses, formal dresses which we will need in our wardrobe.
Black is the classic colour to go

TAIWAN DAY 2 – XIMENDING, WU FEN PU (PART 1)

The three of us have a habit of taking pictures before leaving the hotel each and every day in our Taiwan Trip.
Playing dressing up is one of the highlights of an overseas trip too, don't you agree? :p

  

Not just that, but exiting the hotel is another hot spot for photos.
I like the way the plants are hanging outside and the alley feel,
it would have been much better if the constructions at the back were done and removed.
 
  

Just like the first day, we have to walk to the Ximen Station, which we will pass by all these places…

 

just by looking at this picture, i know we are nearing the bubble tea shop that I like,
Ching Shin Fu Chuan Tea Station, 清心福全 !

Their normal milk tea is awesome, but if you are a huge fan of milk teas again,
you can try hazelnut or caramel milktea, thumbs up for these two drinks!
 

I can totally imagine how much calories am i gaining each day,
We wanted to just have a lunch, and remember the other bubble tea chain (50嵐 which is KOI in Sg?),
we spotted that shop finally in the ximending maze of shops after trying to locate it since we touched down in Taiwan.
Being the greedy girls, we sure have to get a cup each!

Considering the cup we just had while walking over,
and a second cup within the next half hour.
Gosh, carbs carbs carbs,
I officially concluded that bubble tea is definitely poots and my ultimate all-time-favourite drink.

 

Look at how excited we were to locate it!

Look at the 34324934923 amount of pearls = carbs!

 

Our lunch was planned to visit and try the famous Ah Zong Mian Xian,
I bet everyone of you heard of this before,
this mian xian chain is extremely famous in Taiwan and has countless of shops around.

 
Small bowl for 45 NT = SGD $1.90 only!!!!
Big bowl for 60 NT = SGD $2.60

oh boy, where can we find ultra delicious mian xian at this price around?!

 

This is the small bowl and its enough for one person generally.
The special part of this mian xian is that they don't use oyster, but cooked with pig intestines (I LOVE IT!!!).

You get to immerse in their culture, :p

Our next plan of the day was to visit WuFenPu 五分埔,
the well-knowned place for wholesale clothes or rather,
clothes at utmost affordable prices.

A tip that many of my friends who came back from Taiwan told me that,
I should visit wu fen pu for the first few days of my trip,
and shop there instead before shopping at the rest of the other areas.
Due to the fact that prices there for clothes are more reasonable,
and other areas sell the same stuff too.

From the research that we have done, we actually took a train to Yong Chun Station to go there.
But apparently, that is a wrong stop to alight!
The correct stop would be Hou shan pi station. (Thanks caleen!)

I guess many people alighted at the wrong stop previously,
so there actually have a useful slip of paper to tell us how to go to Wufenpu from Yong Chun.

Can take either bus 232, 281 or 284.

 
Did i tell you i prefer taking bus than any other mode of public transport?

And the bus ride there is real affordable, its standardized 15NT = SGD $0.65 for all trips (from what i know),
and the bus ride is really comfortable and properly air-conditioned.
The difference is that we have to pay for the bus ride only when we alight.

Finally we arrived!

I didn't manage to snap a lot of pictures here because we were busy shopping away.
Teehee, spent quite a bit here, but clothes are average about $8-15!
Of course, there will be pricier items which are of better quality.

We spent an hour plus in this shop.

Red couch for shawn to rest and being the Mr Nice, he waited for us to shop :p

 
Leaving the shop with satisfaction!

Will be back for Rao He Night Market and more!
Stay tuned for the next.

I'm back with major updates!

My long awaited Taiwan Trip
Am extremely excited for my TAIWAN trip next week 4th August to 10th August, and that is literally a week long.
Forgot when was the last time I was actually out of Singapore for a week or more, usually short trips instead.
I guess the three of us (shawnie, poots & myself) are gonna roam mainly Taipei in this trip and shawnie is replacing the last ticket as poot's sister, Asmine couldn't get away in time.
Gonna eat, shop, eat, shop, eat and it is inevitable that I will be a few kilos heavier by the time I come back. booo,
hope all the walking/shopping helps a bit! :p

Internship
Left with just two last days and I am quite sure I will be missing everything and people at the bank,
Been getting used to saying seeing them for 5 days a week, and doing pantry teas and small lil chats in between,
as well as sourcing for the next best food place in raffles place every lunch.

We had a couple of farewells for other interns etc, and thanks to the colleagues,
I had my share of farewell from them which made me feel really blessed and appreciated!

Other Updates
My eye lids are closing as I am typing this entry..
been feeling exceptionally lethargic recently and the late sleeping hours are not making it better.
i have so much more to share here, so they will be up soon.
At the same time, I will take time out to reply the comments from my previous posts, (apologies!).
In the meanwhile, here are some prettay dresses i got to wear to work, with courtesy of Bold Beginnings.

The fuschia colour is a stand out on its own!
   
 
i got it at another shade of gorgeous midnight blue, don't miss out their self-manufactured designs.
I like the slightly puffed sleeves which enhance the shoulders.. teehee.

Guess what?!

We girls planned a surprise birthday party for our two dear june babies, poots & linny,
and decided that the ascott looks like a comfortable service apartment for all of us to sleep over.

It is located just a stone throw away from my internship office, and I was literally 7 days in the Central Business District area that week!
  
The architecture definitely look like an old school British building,
and the entrance looks extremely welcoming..

We checked into the service apartment, and as stated at their site, there will be a kitchen and a room with a dining area,
but we were kinda disappointed when we entered, the room was much smaller than we have expected.

The toilet
 

 
the super mini kitchen which was just in front of the door

and the room, totally unlike the description of service apartment

We checked in earlier in the afternoon so as to decorate the place and get ready the food,
while the girls are being really hardworking behind, these guys are just enjoying themselves with the teevee..

Joseph and Vincent in the slackers club

Shawn and Jarrold, the DJ of the night

Our drinks and food for the night.

hard liquor for games and booze

plain crackers with cheese cubes specially made by Yalin & Apple 
 

Caleen's dish of the night, Kimchi fried rice, absolutely delicious!

Kenghao's specialty, Carbonara.
I couldn't find a picture of it, but we were utterly impressed by his cooking skills.
He did the carbonara sauce from scratch and seriously, it tasted even better than restaurants!

Baked potatoes (must try!!!) bought frm Wendys. Love this snack!

Selene baked blueberry crumble!

Other food which was equally yummy

The group is really one of the funniest ones. Prior to leney bringing the birthday girls up,
we told them a white lie that everybody was late (as we purposely set a false late timing for everyone to meet ), and that no one was in the room at all.
So we all hid in the toilet for a jump-out surprise aftermath to surprise them!

Girls preparing..

Waiting patiently…

If you realised, we had a theme, guess what was it?

hahahha, it was CHANEL.
But apparently, caleen said we look as though we are going for a ATAS funeral!!! lol
i thought everyone was really spontaneous and looked really great playing dressup.

Finally, the two dear girls arrived and their first surprise was US,
followed by a birthday dress specially chosen for them on this special day.

theme balloons!

 

Changed and ready to feast!

Love the way they all looked.
 

More peeks of the night..

Caleen and Poots

All fitting into the room..

Weijun was poot's surprise for the night!

Look at what he got for her!!!!

muaks

We decided to rope shawn into the picture. spot him

<3

Mini cute lil Asahi, with the courtesy of Jarrold & Yalin.

Balloons to go with the theme

 

GAME TIME.
Of course, the june babies get the first challenge!

Both girls get drunk the next very moment, must be the overflow of asahi.

im the judge!

My turn, watch apple's expression carefully in this picture….

and then this. (oh, look at joseph's one too!) Because we had a fastest gulping challenge and I won.
Even i was amazed at how fast i can gulp my drink down. teehee
 
We had games for an hour or more, and quickly brought out the cake when the girls got sobered up.

The gangster family portrait :p

Spot the difference again.

it was supposed to be a fierce side and a happy side. And i was shocked at vincent's pose when i saw this picture. hahahaha

Looks zai but super gangsterish!!!

 
And fun shots!! We wanted to play tau pok, but the guys cheated us!

Evil laughter behind..
 

The next morning was great, we all woke up early to dip in the rooftop pool we heard so much about.
 

Weeee.
 

The view from the pool.

Love the group gatherings like this, and weekends are ever fun-filled because of them

I have new plans for the blog, and if nothing goes in the way, there will be something new on 1st August!
Check back then and I am really excited for it

Its a Sunday once again, and it will be a brand new week tomorrow.

Unknowingly, I'm into my 8th week of my internship (time seriously flies) and the past weeks have been nothing but real fruitful.
Thankful for the mentors and bosses for making the time there meaningful and there are just so much things to see and learn from.

 

Weekends passed by at a amazing lightning speed, and I would officially conclude Saturday is my favourite day of the week.
Always is and always will be! :p

We had an awesome Saturday two weeks back.

We had a surprise planned out specially for our dear applepie on her birthday eve,
and i was initially racking my brains to think of what to do.
 Just nice in time, Joseph told me about the surprise hotel stay he booked for apple at Siloso Beach Resort a week in advance,
and I told her a white lie that I was going to be away overseas on the very weekend.

So the few of us gathered together in our beach-y wear, got ready the party hats and poppers,
and ready to give her a big surprise visit!

 

  

  

We each wore a cute lil party hat and took a popper in hand each,
and we arranged a staff to actually knock the room door to act as though its "Room Service" to make it more believing.

I kinda like the below picture whereby we all have our little hats on the head throttling into room, don't we look adorable? :p
And I believe our heartwarming surprise really worked, look at the below picture.

   

The above picture is absolutely a priceless one,
I haven see applepie's tears of surprise after knowing her for so long.

 

You know we all love you, silly girl

 

Her birthday surprise comes with a gorgeous coral summer dress we specially picked from forever 21.

 

  

And the famous birthday spectacles that she loves!
   

 

   

 

The next part of the surprise was a reservation at the Wavehouse @ Sentosa.

Heard so much about it, and it seems like the next ongoing place besides cafe del mar (its just beside cafe del mar, btw)!

<3 this artistic shot by shawn hahaha.

   
 

We had a long table full of food to share, 
and oh yes, I love the food there!

They have the roasted duck pizza, which was definitely comparable to Timbre's roasted duck pizza.
And guess what? The staff mentioned that every Wednesday is a one-for-one,
so you can check it out there on Wednesdays for good food at fab prices!

  
 
      
   

  

   

   

  

The berry-misu and chocolate lava cake were to-die-for!!!

 

 

 

Last but not least, a swiss bake chocolate fudge cake for the birthday girl!

 

    
    

  

  

One of the best parts is that we have bugee to send us right to the car park in the wee hours,
super shiok and great additional service :p

Father's day was a simple affair and I actually reserved the super talked-about japanese buffet at Ikoi @ Hotel Miramar.
It was my second time there, and I actually had to make a booking a few weeks in advance for the whole family!
 

 

Mommy and me,
I think we look really alike here.
  

Love the flowy navy blue top from challures that goes well with my favourite pair of topshop jeans!
Amazingly the top is good for buffets yet enhancing your bust and waist at the same time, teehee. :p

At the restaurant with sister and my funny pop.

And it was so great to see Alvin once again, who is working as a chef and assistant at the restaurant,
but showed uber great hospitaiity the past two times at Ikoi.

To end of the post, here's another lovely dusty pink dress from Challures as well,
comfy and in the loveliest shade of pink, bet you girls will like it too!
