[extremely belated post]

Here are two of my many dates with babylove Peishi :)

Actually we chose to go to Vivo cause I saw Qiuqiu tweet that she was going to Vivo with her boyfriend (or fiance hehehe), and I told Peishi

"Let's go Vivo and stalk Qiuqiu!"

HAHAHAHA please don't judge me!

And then the whole time we were are Vivo, Peishi kept cheating my feelings when she shouted

"OMG Qiuqiu!!!"

And I was like "Where??!!!"

And then turns out she was bluffing me :(

WAHLAOOOO like that lah babylove.......

HAHAH NVM I STILL LOVE YOU!

In case you were wondering, stalking mission failed we didn't manage to see her there at all :X

But anyway, we had dinner at the Japanese Gourmet Town! :)

Japanese Gourmet Town at Vivocity
1 HarbourFront Walk, #01-157/158 Vivocity, Singapore
Tel: +65 6224 9690
Opening Hours
Daily: 11.30am – 10.00pm

Japanese Gourmet Town has 3 restaurants under one roof so you get to mix and match which Japanese food you want to eat :)

We ordered a ramen set from Ajisen Ramen each.

If you're getting a set meal, per person would be about $15 to $20 including service charge and GST :)

Peishi's side dish!

My spicy cha siew ramen! b;

Peishi's seafood ramen... I think that's what it's called :X

The gyoza we shared :)

Some days later we went to Bugis street to shop!!! :)

I actually spent quite a lot of money buying crap I didn't need although I told Peishi I would try not to spend so much...... erps :/

Didn't take a picture of my loot though!

Nothing much except some nail polish and nail stuff, a tank top, a new pair of aviators... can't remember what else but shouldn't be important else I will blog about it sooner or later lol.

Camwhoring on the stairs cause we were eating I Love Taimei and couldn't take the MRT until we're done eating :)

Check out me hiding behind Peishi and ACTING TINY HAHAHAHAH

Cause I always look so humongous bongous beside her... let me act small for once lah! :P

Picture credit to Peishi's blog :)

And then we went to H&M to shop and fooled around with the kids' clothes for quite some time cause we could fit in them

(seriously it's like ang moh kids at 13 are super fashionable AND TALL already.... T~T)

Then to Javier's at Cineleisure to have the Fill-E-Plate for dinner!

Basically, you pay $11.90 and you get to fill an entire plate with any sides you'd like including

mashed potatoes, wedges, potato salad, pan fried mushrooms, watermelon, onion rings, fried rice etc.

On hindsight, I guess a smart way to make your food the most presentable and palatable would be to PLAN FIRST what you'd like to take and then place those soggy sauce-y ones at the bottom and the fried and non-soggy ones at the top.

We shared a plate and ours was just totally unplanned and we took whatever we wanted in no particular order and it turned out quite gross....... LOL

Like our watermelon had a bit of gravy here and there, the rice turned all mushy.... :S

But the food was quite nice imo,

Just probably we made it look quite gross with all the stacking and mixing of gravies, oops!

Another picture of my and my little dollyish-looking babylove :)

Alright lah no more acting tiny, this one is to scale hahah

Yes, I am usually THIS much bigger sized than her! :X

Camwhoring in the toilet.... photobombed by toilet bowls HAHAHA

Okay, they really need to make prettier toilet bowls for the ladies' room

so that girls can camwhore with the mirror with a more pleasant looking backdrop!!!

Here's a swirly border to keep your attention away from the ugly toilet bowl in the background....

but you probably know it's there already :X

Heheh thanks for reading!

Love you all!

Soft and pretty hair

Posted Saturday, June 2, 2012 ♥

I think my hair's been bleached massively about.. 5 or 6 times in total?

And trust me when I say that I didn't even know if I could call my hair 'hair' anymore, LOL!

I do go for treatments at Bugis Essensuals whenever I head down to the saloon to dye / cut my hair,

but as my hair stylist Wayne from Bugis Essensuals said,

I still have to be more hardworking on a daily basis!

So today I will share with you guys what I do to make my hair less grassy/dry/frizzy! :)

Now my hair is way softer than before, thank goodness lol!

I will wash my hair and use shampoo and conditioner once a day / every 2 days just like everyone else,

but I will also put on a hair mask once a week! :)

[DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN AD!!!]

This Essential Ultra Honey & Shea Butter Intense Hair Mask is the one I use cause I've read good reviews about it! :)

After washing my hair, I'll pat it until it's slightly damp and sweep them to one side of my shoulder

(towel underneath to prevent my clothes from getting wet!)

Then I will take a generous amount of the hair mask and apply it on the bottom section of my hair, from shoulder length down.

The roots and upper section of my hair isn't THAT dry so I don't apply it up there just in case it's too oily.

Prepare some tissue paper beside you cause it might get kinda messy haha!

To prevent the hair mask (it will feel sticky and oily, it's normal) from messing up my clothes / towel and everything else, I will quickly tuck all my hair into a shower cap!

And this is me without make up hahahaha I AM SO FURRY LOL JK

Alright, now this step is completely optional but since my aunt gave it to me I'd better make good use of it :)

My aunt bought this mini hair steamer thingy which is suppose to help hair products or hair dye or whatever react faster/better from the heat it produces.

So what I will do is to wear this funny looking thing over the shower cap I have on

(so I won't dirty it and won't have to wash it lol lazyyyyy)

Comes with a drawstring to fit any head size!

Plug it into a power source and turn up the temperature :)

Steam~~~

And an hour later, rinse off the hair mask, apply hair serum (any brand) and blow my hair dry!

At this point, it will feel extremely soft and manageable! ^~^

Even if you don't have that hair steamer thing, it's really okay!

I just use mine because I don't want to let it go to waste since my aunt gave it to me~

With the shower cap alone it will trap the heat from your head (I think) and work the same.

Or, if you're extremely kiasu, leave the hair mask on for a longer time! :)

Hope this post helps!!

Thanks for reading, love you all!

DIY: Accessories Board / Organizer

Posted Thursday, May 31, 2012 ♥

I'm hoping you girls like DIY stuff cause I personally LOVE IT and want to do more DIY projects!

So if you guys hate it...... ummm........ sucks for me hahaha!

But anyway, I think DIY is awesome cause you get to save money,

feel a sense of accomplishment when you make something totally unique by yourself,

you get more out of what you already have,

and it's way more fun than just whipping out your credit cards to buy the same thing!

For today, I'm going to be doing an accessories board/organizer cause I have quite a number of long necklaces that ALWAYS get tangled up with each other and it's super frustrating, especially when I'm in a hurry!

My inspiration was from going to flea markets where people hang their accessories they'd like to sell on a cork board, and also from youtube where I saw some girls decorating their cork board so it's not so boringly brown :p

I got this cork board cause my elder sis dumped it to me.

Yes, dumped~

My mum used to joke that I'm a karang guni (rag and bone man) cause I always take all my sis' unwanted stuff hahah

But anyway, she got it from IKEA impulsively and ended up not knowing what to do with it and she didn't want to throw it away so....

guess who got a free cork board!!! :D

You can always get these boards outside, they're quite cheap,

and I saw DAISO selling some smaller sized ones ($2 obviously hehe) so if you'd like to get one you might want to check them out :)

As you can see, my cork board has some weird marks on it cause I dirtied it hahah so I'm going to cover it up with nice fabric LOL!

Wrapping paper from DAISO

Black Lace fabric from DAISO

I'm using a designed wrapping paper cause I couldn't find any plain white mahjong paper and I was too lazy to get it from elsewhere, so I bought the patterned one and flipped it backwards instead :)

First of all, measure out the base (white paper), or any other color combination you'd like, and then cut it to fit your board.

Leave the base aside and measure the fabric this time around.

Actually the board would have looked good even with just the lace cloth on it, but I like the black and white combination so it's really up to you :)

You can even use just a plain colored cloth, some polkadot cloth, floral cloth etc for this!

I'm using pushpins to hold the fabric in place white I was cutting it.

Again, the pushpins were from my sister hahahaha she got it from NUS and didn't want it so she gave it to me :X

Karang guni indeed, LOL!

Once you have both the correct side of paper/fabrics, line the laced one over the white one and pin it down on the cork board.

Use pushpins to mark out how far you'd like your necklaces to hang from each other.

I didn't measure it exactly for mine, it was like a rough gauge :)

Mine isn't cut perfectly but whatever hahah that's the beauty of DIY (excuses.....hahaha)! :p

Tadah! The end product!

Now to get all excited to hang out all your necklaces onto your new accessories board / organizer!

Yay!

You can actually bling up the border of the board,

paint it, paste studs on it, paste bows or ribbons or whatever you want onto it!

I'm just demonstrating a real easy and quick example but if you'd like something more edgy or complicated, why not experiment with it!! :)

Hope this post was helpful!

And please do let me know if you like this tutorial or you're going to try this out!! :)

I'd love you see your own pimped up accessories organizers!

And check out the Kenzy Turtleneck from Jipaban!

I love the whole zigzag design, super unique from all the usual prints we always see ;)

Plus black and white color combi... love it! :D

Alright,

thanks for reading!

Love you all! :D
