Club21 Bazaar

I've always wanted a tight high-waisted pencil skirt and finally received mine from American Apparel. It's not as tight as I've wished but guess that's the case when I've no hips and butt. Hopefully the dryer can do wonders and shrink it.

I went for the Club21 Bazaar at Pit Building and boy, it's probably the largest scale bazaar Club21 has ever organized. They carried all their brands, from their cheaper range of ArmaniExchange and CalvinKlein, to their top ranges of Marni and Balenciaga apparels. The prices were more reasonable but still not crazily cheap. There were moments where I felt really lost. Like there're so much clothes and I literally don't know what to do or where to start or what to buy. Of course, having a budget really helps. There was a selection of shoes but none in my size as usual. Sometimes size 35 is still loose on my binded feet. One can lose/gain weight to fit into clothes but the feet is something that won't change.
I stuck with my favourite ArmaniExchange and added 4 tops and a pair of skinny to my ever growing collection. Also got a top from Diesel and 2 belts from DKNY. All these for slightly over $200. I should say that it's a bargain. 95% of people left with bags full of goodies. The 5% are probably guys since there wasn't much stuff for them. The crappy thing is that they PURPOSELY blocked off all the mirrors and there are no fitting rooms. So you either have to trust ur friend's eyes or depend on your own instincts.

tamed machine

So I've decided to give the sewing machine another try. This time I dug out the manual and Nithe's mum gave me a short tutorial and it made me feel damn stupid for struggling with the machine that day when it's actually so simple. Wonders of a manual. I did some modifications to the skirt and proudly wore it to town =) Pleased with myself.

DIY Project - Elastic Waisted Skirt

I saw this really cute DIY skirt from childhood flames and looks really simple so I've decided to give it a try. A round of applause for myself since it's my first time and it didn't turn out that bad. See uncle YR, I can sew. And this skirt costs $8, cheaper than those $10 pieces at Bugis Village =)
Lesson learnt: True test of patience is using a sewing machine for the first time in your life without a manual.

imagine

After stalking many fashion blogs, I can't help but feature a little something of my own. I'm in love with the clothes, NOT myself. Since there's no winter in SG, I shall imagine rain = snow and juz wear my coats.

Blazer: Mum's
Top: some unknown american brand
Shorts: Guess high waisted

If you watched S02E09 of GossipGirl and noticed Blair's hair when she ran around saving Emma, this is it. I never actually thought of tying it this way before seeing her in it. Nice =)

the price of pizza

Chiew drew me this feather

and so I'm a red indian

The professors for Tissue Engineering suddenly decided that since our lecture throughout the sem fell during lunch hour, they wanted to treat us all to pizza. So they ordered in like 15 boxes or so of pizza to treat the whole class =) As cool as free pizza might sound, free chocolates got us into so much crap for the previous TYW's module.

Free pizza + free chocolates = pretty much screwed for exams

See how everyone is enjoying FREE PIZZA =)

After 1 whole semester, Tryph and I spotted this really cute exchange student in our small little class. Coz he was always sitting in front so we didn't get a chance to @@ him. His group presented today and so tadah.

halloween night

Instead of dressing up and partying on Halloween, we had to drag our asses to sch on our free day to finish our HR report (my very last report). Spinelli at University Hall has been our corner. It's a really nice place to work despite its lack of wireless connection.

After which we made our way to Selegie Road to this little kebab place, tucked in Peace Center. It was closed the previous time I came so I suggested this place this time round. My ex-colleague strongly recommended it to me last time. It's pretty good but somehow I prefer Anatolia and its irritating ice cream man.

We then went for some tau huay across the road at Rochor where we had the whole alley to ourselves =) Cheap and yummy food to fill our stomachs.

smelling good can be bad

I've read from somewhere that fragrance is actually BAD. Apparently from this source, it frequent triggers headaches, especially migraines. It is due to some synthetic version of the aromatic chemicals and that it affects the olfactory system. In addition, the anecdotal evidence suggests a significant effect of fragrances on the central nervous system.
Now I know why I get these irritating headaches. Thankfully I'm not into fragrance.

chauffeuring is my occupation

Nithe is busy with his stupid SIP again and being the supportive gf, I've become a part-time student, full time chauffeur since he has to be at SGH from 630am till 7pm. Not that school's any different but juz thankful that most of my datelines and presentations are over =)

weak and spineless

I'm freaking pissed about something now but I know if I'm to say it even though it's the truth, it will make me the bad guy. I feel spineless for not standing up for what I truly feel but I don't want a stupid issue to be blown up. So for now, I'm juz gonna keep it in but when one day I've decided that i'm done with those people, screw them.

deepavali cum wl's bday

Amidst the buzz and stress of the sem, we finally managed to meet up for a good meal and celebrate WL's birthday. Since we didn't get the try their food the previous time, we were determined to eat it this time and I made reservations way in advance =) The place is really nice, food really delicious and I can say it's really value for money. Will definitely come back for more. I'm such a happy girl now =) Dress: Rachel Pally Bag: Coach Shoes: Charles & Keith Let's take a look at the yummy food we ate Les Entrées
