dullness

First week back at school has been boring. I still can't decide which technical elective to drop thus explaining my 4 day week. Also, FYP's a bitch. Even though I'm totally unprepared, I can't wait for Monday's presentation to be over. I guess getting Huang Zhiwei (aka Mr Crysanthemun) over BIE Head Collin Shepherd is the lesser evil since I'm supposed to be used to Mr Crysanthemun's firing questions from Biophotonics. Oh well, I don't think there's much difference even if I were to present at the end of the week so might as well get it over with and I can start my early CNY celebrations.
Haven't been sewing anything of late as I've ran out of material. Really need to stock up or maybe continue on my half completed (abandon) projects.

DIY Project - Double U-Neck Dress

The American Apparel Double U-Neck Dress is by far the most popular AA dress among fashion bloggers. I can't help but lust for one myself. The time and effort taken to make this piece might be madness but the satisfaction upon completion is freaking amazing. Sewing sleeves for the first time can be a bitch.

Dress: DIY

god gave me 2 eyes

These days, I'm not sure what I'm looking out for when I go window shopping. Pretty clothes to crave for, or clothes that can be DIY? The hardest thing about DIY is finding the perfect cloth.

current obsession - fringe and studs

I'm so pleased with my latest purchase from Zara. Despite some negative reviews, I bought it anyway since I've been eyeing on it even before it went on sale. This will give me the additional height I'm desperately in need of (4'). I'm juz surprised that my size hung on long enough to survive the first round of 30% discount for me to grab it at 50% off (it might also be because it's so ugly that no one wants it). Okay, my ankles look horrendous =(

Of course inspired by Burberry Prorsum Studded Heels

PS. I don't think that my dressing is showy in any way.

when i'm not in my lab

afresh

I've visited SMU for my first time and it feels like first day of school all over again =)

dead making way for the new

BIE Goth Night

Vinodh organized this BIE Goth Night and it was the BEST House Party I've ever attended. OMG! So much effort is put into the food, the deco, the music, lighting, EVERYTHING. It was simply AWESOME! And his parents are super funky too. They too dressed up for the party =)

This was what I had managed to assemble out of my wardrobe. I didn't know normal daily pieces can turn out to be this thrashy. And since I'll probably never dress up like that ever again, following are tons of photos to try capture the essence.

Presenting BIE '05 Goth-ettes. All looking fiece

And our BIE '05 Goth-udes. Every single one of them had makeup on!

The 4 remaining babes trying their best to look sexy, be seductive blah blah...
Eric: "That's our BIE girls man". (x 1000000)

These two are the champs. They kept opening bottles even whether everybody left. If I'm not wrong, they opened 3 new bottles and finished bottles that were half drunk. Eric was really funny. He kept repeating himself, "LQ, come help the guys take photo." 5 minutes later, "LQ, come help the guys take photo." That went on again and again and again, which explains the numerous similar shots. And since I was the only sober one (designated driver), he kept asking me whether it's funny seeing everyone around me high/drunk (x 100000000). Eric is definitely a happy drunk =)

And the guys tried living their fantasy of surrounding themselves with 'hot babes'.

At the end of the party, we helped Vinodh clear 13 bottles. Big thanks to him and his family for opening their place and providing everything. It was a hell of a party. What a great way to start a fresh new year. 2009 is gonna be AWESOME with these people around =)

welcoming 2009

2008 ending with a bang. Firstly was my family's tradition New Year's Eve Japanese dinner at a little cosy authentic Japanese restaurant. We have been patrionizing them since I can remember. Watch night service was next followed with PRAWNING and countdown at Farmart with the YA pals. A group of 15 people waited patiently for 4hrs and caught miserable 16 prawns. People surrounding us had nets FILLED with prawns while ours seem to be forever empty. Lucky for the keg of Heineken Joshua brought along and Skitters Jemi's dog. It was great fun though.

**My camera has officially died and thus the lack of photos =(

timely reminder

I'm back from my church's YA retreat and I'm spiritually renewed but physically drained. I'm getting old. Staying overnight is not my thing anymore.
