Going out of country where you are obligated to take pictures without your personal photographer (read : sister) is difficult and a little bit sad I guess? My big sis keep telling me "I feel bad for you. Taking all narcissistic picture alone" when I was showing her pictures of my short trip. It was quite pathetic I supposed but it was actually kinda fun too. Like traveling solo perhaps?

That's why there are lots of pictures which are like this pic below..

Getting cozy with Charlie..
blouse - HardWare, shorts - Velvet, shoes - MarieClaire

I am back in my bed and I can not tell you how great the feeling of home is :)

Just some pictures from my last trip to Singapore. I will try to make it as short as possible!

 Bought tons of things and currently having a shopping guilt :p

How is everyone in blogsphere?

Probably my favorite outfit from the trip!

 I wore : a vintage blouse with spotty attached tie from Down Memory Lanes, shorts by Velvet, canary yellow (how awesome is the color!) from JessJess, stockings from a booth in PVJ, and shoes by MarieClaire Bata.

The amazing arrival hall at Changi..

Actually I was wearing Velvet-Paige Back Bow Top but it was night time (so difficult to get a nice pic at night!) and my mom was busy shopping.. LOL. Will get a decent pic of it next time! <3

top - Velvet, skirt - vintage thrifted, bag - CarloRino, sandals - Rubi

Let me leave you with this amazing painted-elephant-statue. It was an elephant theme Christmas at Orchard Road. Will be back tomorrow with day 2 pics :)

Good afternoon, lovelies!

While you're reading this.. I'll be strolling around Orchard road. Probably with five shopping bags, four belong to my mom and only one belongs to me. Which I don't mind at all, since she's paying. Yeay!

And most possibly, fighting the rain!

I love rain. But only when I'm inside and curled up in my bed with my blankets and pillows.

an obligatory narcissistic picture in the bathroom ;p


Thank you, sis, for taking the pictures. Don't forget to also take a peek at her blog. I also went to my niece's bday dinner. My sister has a complete post about the fun dinner. You can click the picture of a girl with the wide hat on my right side bar :)


I see you super soon with tons of new outfits! <3

Okay okay, I haven't been blogwalking but I seriously couldn't find enough time to sleep let alone blogwalking... ;(

The good news is, although I still feel a little ghostly, but I am feeling better! Thank you so much for your kind comments on my last post <3

I guess it's just a phase and I do believe the worst has passed. I just need a few more days (and finishing my exams!) so I can get back to my usual self :)

Today has been stressful but I finally found time to pack for my 4days trip to Singapore this Saturday. Again, this blog would be a little quiet. But I do prepare one scheduled post for Sunday so mark your calendar and visit my blog on that day ;p

I was contemplating for a while to get the backpack or not cause I know I won't be wearing it much. But it is just to adorable to resist. I fell in love with the soft syntethic leather and the flowery details. I talked about it non stop for a few weeks and I'm pretty sure my sis got sick of it since she repeatedly said "just bought the bag already!". So I followed her lead ;p

Anyway. I have to keep this short and sweet.

My mom and I (well mostly, me, cause I have the worst control-freak over everything) are going to put up our Christmas tree! Excited..

Going to twit pic it so do follow my twitter :)

Isn't Christmas just the best time of the year?

Although it's weekend, I've been feeling a little bit off.. Like.. I'm not sure actually, but I just forgetting everything and I also been feeling a little.. mm.. lazy? Somehow I just don't have the will to do anything. Even sleeping seems dull to me. After the karaoke night, I do feel a little better but the next morning I'm back to ground zero. Like someone else is in my body and doing all the stuff like talking or eating and I'm just watching my body from afar. Sort of ghostly, I suppose..

Sorry for such dark thoughts! I just don't feel like typing something happy or cute right now.

Just some neglected pictures from a month ago.. Nothing special with this outfit really. Not a post-worthy outfit but I do want to show you the dress I got from H&M a few months ago. The bow patterns are just too adorable to resist.

What do you do to lift your spirit up? 

I hope everyone stays healthy! Eat and sleep well, will you? <3

How is everyone in blogsphere? 

My internet connection has been down again. Aish.. Seriously, I just don't want to complain anymore. Such a waste of a young heart don't you think? All sorts of nasty feelings like anger, jealousy, envy, and ungratefulness? I am just grateful that I still have my God, my faith, and my family. That is enough for me.

Lately I've been really into poems.. I watched a Korean reality shows where 7 men were required to make a poem. One of them has a 7 year old son with a heart condition and he dedicated a poem for him. Here's a fraction from what I remember..

"Let me be your dream when you're sleeping. 

Although I am far away, but I always want to be in your gaze...

Giving you a puppy like you wanted.

Always by your side.

So I can send you away to that place where flowers bloom."

I teared up like an idiot when he was reading his poem. And the fact that his son is in Philippines while he's in Korea makes it even more heart-wrenching. He wants to be by his son but he also has duty to fulfilled in Korea. My only hope is that there is some miracle and his son will be just fine. 

Wishing everyone a thankful weekend :)

I will be away at Jakarta for the weekend but I'll try to squeeze in some time to do blogwalking!

Oh and thanks to my sister for taking this lovely pictures. She has such an eye. Do visit her blog. You will be pleased with her cheerfulness and lively words.

Hello, dolls!

So I decided to attend the wedding anyway. It was held in Jakarta and we went straight home after the party so I am slightly sleep deprived right now.. However, I feel like sharing this story to you. I just love the message this story has. Now sit tight and listen carefully..

Once upon a time, a King called his trusty worn-by-age hammersmith and asked him to write something on his royal ring. The King said "Write something that you can conclude from you entire life experience so it will also be a life-lesson for me."

For months the hammersmith made the ring, and even more troublesome, thinking what to wrote in the ring. Finally, after prayers and fasting, he wrote what he thought was important on that royal ring and handed it to the King.

The King read the sentence with a smile, it says "THESE TOO, SHALL PASS"

At first, the King didn't get the whole grasp on what was written in the ring. However, someday, when he was in a deep thoughts about complicated royal issues, he read the writing on the ring, and he was suddenly felt less worried. "These too, shall pass," he repeated in his heart.

At another circumstances, when the King was having the time of his life, he also accidentally read what was written on the ring, and he became humble and contemplated what was around him.

These are all correct. When you are facing a giant problem or when you are over the moon about something, remember this sentence "These too, shall pass."

When you ponder on this sentence, it will lead you to a well-balanced life. Everything in this world is a deciduous leaf. Nothing lasts forever. Hence, when you are in trouble, no need to stress your head out, it shall pass. And when you are on the top of your game, enjoy it while you can, but be humble about it, because that too shall pass...

top - thrifted, necklace - vintage from Mom, skirt - Nikicio, bag - Hobsch, shoes - Sisterz

I purchased the skirt from Nikicio a week ago and I am so happy I splurged! Although it was already at 50% off I still think I spent too much money on a skirt. LOL. However, when I opened the package, I wasn't disappointed at all. The fabric is so soft and breezy and the pattern looks gorgeous, shimmering under lights. Ah love.. <3 

And regarding questions about my sister's camera mentioned two posts ago, her camera is IXUS 115 HS. Sorry for the late reply! I've been unbelievably busy lately. Boo..

I will stay busy until tests are over! So many homeworks and recap of chapters I have to do!

Perhaps by the end of December? Do bear with me, readers...
