Back in Singapore

I am back from the awesome food and shopping heaven, Taiwan!
& now its back to reality already. heh.

Am gonna do a detailed (as detailed as I can) 7 days 6 nights Taiwan post/s for the next few posts!

*

Met up with the long lost xiaolongbao gang at the week before I left for Taiwan.
One of the coolsome bunch of people to hang out with. :)
 

Wee and Jess.

Wee just went for exchange to Norway..
Its my last semester already and for the past few semesters,
I have been going school, home, mugging and chilling with Wee for almost every week,
am definitely missing her here in Singapore.


We headed to timbre @ substation for some booze and food on a Thursday night.
Especially when Good Fellas are rocking the night with awesome songs,
the two weeks advance of online booking was worth it.
 


Nothing beats natural candid shots of happiness!


Busy with the phone while the guys enjoy the live band..


Our dear wilfred (in green) is blissfully in love and we didn't know it until then!
 


The classy black work dress from Pearlavish that goes well with my grey outerwear and necklace.
It's kinda body hugging but I like it as it shows the waist line and contours of the body. ;)
 

And a nude (wee i love nude colour!) skirt that is really versatile from them.
Im sure you will love it too! :)

Will be back to blog about my Taiwan Day 1,
so stay tuned!

Seventeen Beach Party

Welcome to my New Blog, folks!

Weeee! This is the new plan for my blog and I am so excited about this!
The website designers/programmers have been working with me patiently over the past few months,
designing the feel of the blog, and customizing my needs for blogging at this new domain.

I love the simplicity design and colours of the blog layout,
and I hope you like it too. :p

I have so much more to share about the different functions of the blog,
but I will do so when I get back to Singapore next week.

YES,  GUESS WHAT?!
I am in Taiwan right now!
 


This is a picture of us, just touched down in Taipei and finally found our way to the hotel.

When I am back, I aim to do a full taiwan itinerary.
Hopefully to provide a bit of help to those of you who are visiting Taiwan soon too. ;)

And its Majolica Majorca Time once again,
which also means they have a new product launched!


MJ has a new chapter – Chapter 27: Blooming Dreamer!
We had a gathering at 10,000 angels restaurant at Plaza Singapura for the chapter launch.
Let me show you the new products from this chapter..

Just like an organizer,
the MJ ambassadors received a small lil “book” which comes in handy for girls to bring around,
slotting this into any mini compartment of the handbag.


I have been using this purple “book” very frequently recently,
and you would love what’s inside of this! What is this purple “book”? I
t is a limited edition eyeshadow palette! (Blooming Dream Eyes in 2 shades)

 


hehe, eye shadow in the loveliest shade ever,
and I realized though not all girls love pastel shades,
but eye shadow in pastel shades definitely suit Asians and will make your eyes look fresher and livelier.
Do give it a try!

basically, we are supposed to apply the eye shadows by using the top right shade (eye base) first,
followed by the bottom right shade (nuance color) and then the bottom left shade (shadow color).
Lastly, apply the eye gloss at the bottom of eyelids for an anime effect!  


At this point, I would like to introduce this girl with superb make up skills!!!
We can get a few tips from her. (thanks to leney who introduced these vids to me!)

We can apply the eye shadow in the similar way as she did to achieve the a perfect finish with the different shades of purple!


I tried a lighter blend, not a fan of too strong eye shadow colour.

With the gorgeous eye  shadow colour,
i figured out I should wear something brighter that has a tinge of  purple and we are going to a BEACH PARTY!!!

 





US at Sentosa.

Leney came over to my place before we headed out to meet the rest,
and guess what?!

The “book” comes in PINK too,
(I bet you girls have a hard time deciding which to get!) and I love this palette of eye shadow colours too,
definitely will not go wrong!


Since im using purple, leney shall try the pink one.
And plus free make up services (from me hahahaha) for her.



NICE SHOT RIGHT?!

See, on top of free make up services, I
included free photography service for her as well.
She looked so natural here and I think pink eye shadow suits her!!

Other new products in this chapter includes 2 limited edition eyeliners,
(perfect automatic eyeliner in sap spell shade which is a white eyeliner with a tinge of violet,
and flower spell shade which is a black eyeliner with a tinge of violet) and a limited edition mascara in purple shade! 

All the new products from this chapter are limited edition,
and I have heard that they are going out of stocks real soon so do get them at your nearest Watsons store!

All dressed up,
we had a gathering at COASTES (one of my favourite chill-out places around) for lunch before going for Seventeen Beach Party.

 
Love the chill-lax atmosphere


All dressed up in beach wear!


Jarrold looking serious, well, its hard to make food choices here, I love the food there!


Mr How.


My two babes!


Pooty poots :)


Apple-ty and Joseph.


The groupie


Love the fact that we all dressed up and ready to rock the party. Geez

Here comes the delicious foood….

Fish and Chips


Love this! Ceasar salad with huge slices of smoked salmon


Potato Wedges, one of the better wedges around!


Calamaris
 


Heading over to the beach party at Wavehouse..
 

We went for the Seventeen Beach Party as Poots had invites for it,
but the scorching weather and limited places to sit around made the afternoon a kind dreadful one.
I bet the guys enjoyed oogling at the seventeen beach babes catwalking at the contest finale there though. :p

In anycase, here are some more summer dresses from The Tinsel Rack (thank you!) that are conveniently worn,
and I love dresses because we do not need to spend so much effort accessorizing,


  
Lavender dress with embroidery at the bottom that spices up the babydoll frock.


And love the fuschia colour, if you are a fan of these sweet dresses in pastel or rich colours,
you know where to get it ;p

Farewell

TWO MORE DAYS TO TAIWAN!

Anyone has tips to share with me on where should I go?
Hehe, can't wait to explore the four huge night markets and eat, shop, eat, shop eat,
will be bringing my lappy there to upload and blog if possible too. ;)

It will be a one week break before school starts and we're gonna spend national day there too!

*

My internship officially ended back on Friday and the nostalgic feeling is starting to kick in..

Great three months there and an absolute good platform to learn and develop, I would say.
A lot of eye-opener events and made new friends who made these past months meaningful and fruitful. :)

Anyway, brought my camera to the office on the last day to capture some last shots!


The office, My level and the side where i am seated at.


My desk for the 3 months.
 

My buddy whom I have assisted during these whole months. 

Look at what my colleagues, especially Norizan, gave me on my last day of work! (picture on the right)
Am really touched by the effort and sincerity. Here are other lovely colleagues!


Angie :)


Norizan :)


Farewell lunch and desserts!

Had a farewell lunch at Kinki @ custom house (i previously vividly mentioned about it),
and the place has really good japanese food but its kinda on the higher end side.

Would think the best worth to order would be their set lunch,
which was absolutely yummy.


The restaurant

 


The view from the restaurant

 
Spicy Salmon Don and Teriyaki Salmon. Love both!


And these two were the highlights of the lunch,
Snow Crab and Sea Urchin (S$30++ & S$56++ respectively for 5 pieces)

The snow crab was a huge disappointment,
and I didn't think it was at all worth it or nice at all,
tasted even worst than normal crab meat, kinda dry. ;/

For the sea urchin,
it was an absolute delight, the texture was great and it melts in your mouth,
Heard sea urchin aint commonly available, thus explains the price of it.
 

Another lovely colleague, Yizheng ;)

Have received my two new casual sweet dresses from The Velvet Dolls.


Bustier dress, simple with a simple pumps and you are ready to go!
 
 
Look at the intricate back design, you can easily adjust the tightness..
And another perfect casual dress from The Velvet Dolls for the weekend!


You will love the various yummy summer colours available for this dress!

Ascott Weekends!

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 ;)

Bon Voyage!

Having worked two months in the bank, am glad to know a bunch of friends, including Felix, the other intern in my department.
I didn't have a chance to really interact with the rest, except for Felix, a humorous german guy whom I see every single work day.

It's kinda sad to know Felix has gone back to Germany (for good) after having his exchange and internship in Singapore,
so I actually had a gathering with the usual lovelies and got him, together with Gloria (another intern whom im closer with!) on a Saturday night to have a chill out session at timbre!

On a side note, Val dear is back from Aussie! Miss her loads!

Let the pictures do the talking…
 




 
 


 

 


Maxi is <3 again. Love the prints of this maxi from pearlavish. :)

Felix left for Germany back on Monday, Gloria and i decided to pop over at the airport for a lil surprise.

Had a difficult time because we were afraid he might just check in before we can reach him, 
and i had to tell some white lies to him before he finally caught us just right outside a book store (yeah, the white lie involved him helping me check out the price of a magazine!!).



Chilling at killiney before his flight,

Felix said his sadness increase to 70% after seeing us. hahahhaha


Love the drappy cardigan from pearlavish once again, kinda like the vintage feel.
 
  

* * *


And yet another style for my wardrobe, always getting excited wearing new clothes and this is great for work!
Not a big fan of high collar stuff, but this piece looks pretty in classic black. :)
