oldies galore


Back in Aussieland again.
The start of the hectic studying that's going to be.
My room's pretty messed up by me in a span of 3 days.
How wonderful. I'll try to keep it so that it doesn't look so tornado hit.
I've been watching far too many shows.
21, orphanage, blood brothers, a chinese odyssey-both 1 and 2, terminal, some lost and some hong kong drama that I don't understand.
get your ass down to do work. to do work. start doing work. to do work. start doing work.
Think it should be the mantra i repeat to myself everyday.
Oh! I'm going skiing. That should be pretty exciting! =)
I haven tried skiing before! It's just a one day trip up the snowy mountains, so I hope I don't return with aches and bruises all over.

Just before Berra.
I'm gonna post like so many pictures of just me. haha!





out with my parents to pay respect to my late grandma.

.
TCC. the manhatten fish market became fish sashimi due to our silly mistake. haha.


flying back with lawrence.
we met leon in the Sydney airport.
and guess what?
we miss the bus AGAIN! =(
our luck with buses are like zilch. absolutely zero.
We waited for like 3 hours?
Thinking that we were at the correct busstop, we passed off the bus that was like 20m down the street as a bus dropping its passengers.
And when we decided we should go check it out to be on the safe side, voom, the bus drove pass us.
Leaving us standing in the blistering cold.
Cab down to the city to catch the next earliest bus. Another 2 hours wait.
Gosh.
Reach berra at night.
The negative degree welcoming us back. haha.


went down to dickson yesterday to get groceries.
couldn't resist the temptation and we went ahead with our small miny steamboat.
hot spicy soup in the cold weather.
that's an enjoyment.

it doesn't look as nice but it taste great!
dumplings, mushrooms, sausages, chinese la chang, chicken and of course indomee.
Not alot but enough to make us contented. =)

gold with praying.

Went to settle the exam dates for the actuaries exam.
In my negligence, the amount of AUD 510 was written as AUD 500 and I had to spend 20 dollars to amend that stupid mistake.
Head down to Bugis to shop, well, I think browse seems to be the better word.
Dinner was spent munching down bibimbab, xiao long baos, sour spicy soup ramen and prawn wanton noodles.
Too much durians made my throat itch all the while.What's too much?
I ate like 4 durians in 2 days.
I'm trying to do an outfit post! haha! So bear with it.
Here's what I wore today.





Pardon the bad pose. It looks like I am having a really bad tummy ache.

Skirt: Tube top from Valley Girl
Belt: Dug out studded belt from ages ago
Shoes: Charles & Keith
Bag: Coach
Watch: Casio gold watch

Here's a picture of my belated hand-drawn birthday card. =)
My favourite characters!


Looking forward to Malaysia trip tomorrow and also the dark knight show and also the sleep over! =)

The Coach

It's been great. A fun holiday that is coming to an end soon, sadly.
I am left with like 1 week?
And there are still many things I need to do.

Like, buy a ball dress, buy shoes (oh oh! I bought the Marni inspired shoes that is quoting my dearie, ugly to perfection), see the doctor, visit my granny, meet friendssss and eat eat eat eat!
My dad brought my whole family to the Spring Court.


It's supposedly the oldest Chinese restaurant in Singapore.



My papa and mama!

The dishes there weren't exactly fantastic but the service was really good.
My favourite dish has to be the peking duck! Yummm!~


The peking duck!


family portrait. yeah. =]

Went to Sentosa with my family too! Haha!
My dad had this family day organised by his company.


On the way to Sentosa with my mama.


That's my papa in the background. LOL!


papa, mama and me.

The beaches in Singapore are so ugly as compared to the ones in Aussie.
The sands are coarse and the sea is so dirty in Sentosa and East Coast.




That's a cap made of balloons.
It doesn't really look like a cap to me though.




The usual place where everyone takes pictures at when they come to Sentosa.
Ignore my fugly face in the second picture. haha.


The night ended with the song of the sea.
Story line was so cheesy and lame, but the effects and the fountain deserve credits though.

Had tim sum with my sweets.

Didnt have much pictures as I was so hungry I was gobbling up every single thing.
I cannot express my love enough for hargow.
Those super delicious little things.

My belated birthday present!!


It was a surprise. I didn't expect this at all.
I love the vintage feel the bag has.
I love the wine colour.
I love the fact that it is a much more unique design as compared to the normal coach bags.
In case you are still wondering if I like the bag not, I wanna do a shout out to say that I LOVE IT!!



looking for my pressie.


yay! My pressie! Coach bag that I was told cost 600+..
Thank you for the big big pressiee.

Head over for our dinner! But I forgot the name of the restaurant.




Our entrees.


Our tapas.


The mains with our wine that I was too lazy to post.
Had like such a full dinner.
Night was spent playing PS2. haha.


I HATE BAD THOUGHTS!!

itching forehead

The most stupid thing happened.
Lawrence and me planned to go Sydney on Saturday before our flight which is on Sunday morning to shop till we drop but I woke up to a knock on my door at 10.30am when our bus leaves at 7am for Sydney.
He looked at me and said, "Shit, it's 10.30 now leh. How how how?"
I was like WTFFFFF!!!??
I know I was supposed to blame because he had a paper the day before and he had just slept for 2 hours and yet I asked him to set the alarm and come wake me up at 6am.
But deep inside me I was still feeling a little angry.
Towards him and myself.
I shouldn't have been so lazy lazy. =((
So boo, bye bye shopping.
The earliest bus we could find was at 1pm. We reached Sydney at 4pm. So yes, by the time we checked into the hotel, all that was left was an hour of shopping.
No more homebush DFO. No more cheap bargains and stocktake sales.
It's like we wasted our hotel booking as we accomplish nothing in Sydney, except for a pair of great looking skinnies that Lawrence bought.
Woah, that's the end of my super duper exciting Sydney trip.
Luckily we didn't overslept for our flight back.
This time round, we were smart enough to set 2 alarm clocks.
One was his handphone and the other was the hotel's alarm clock.
And woosh off we were back to the sunny island Singapore!
I bought a Paris Bijoux bracelet on the planeee! nice nice nice! I like!

There's 5 of these Swarovskis on the bracelet. The colours look so happy together. haha!

Tracy came to Singapore for 2 days!
So of course we have to bring her around to show her the best of Singapore.
We brought her to the far east chicken rice which is a bad bad choice. =(
I suggested it, so I felt kinda bad.
The chicken rice doesn't taste like chicken rice at all and it's so expensive for a plate of yucky chicken rice.


Don't go there for chicken rice. It sucks. Me and tracy.

1
i like this picture alot! The vibrant colours! Looks so yummy don't they?


On the way to Wisma. I look so fat.
Actually, I am. haha!






While we were in Gap and FCUK, we didn't forget our most loved hobby-picture snapping!


Nice skinnies bought in Sydney. Our only shopping victory there.


On the escalator. My 2nd favourite picture of the album.
My favourite is still the picture of the agar agar.



Our third meal of the day at 4pm. In takashimaya's food village.


At heeren. Lawrence, chia yuen, me and Tracy!!
Oh, I didn't know that one could bargain at Charles and Keith! haha!
Tracy debated on whether to get 1 or 2 bags in Charles and Keith.
And this salesman came over and told her that if she was to buy 2, he would give her 10% discount.
With the charm of Chiayuen and Tracy they managed to convince to guy to give Tracy a 10% discount with the purchase of just 1 bag!
I was so surprised!
Huang huang! The guy is interested in you lahhhhh! LOL



What's coming to orchard road without a picture of it?

We met up with the rest of the Ursies people at Shokudo.




It works like Marche except that it sells Japanese food.


Our group picture before heading to equinox.


Look at the magnificant view. Simply breath taking. Its like taking the eye of Singapore.


I think i'll be coming up here often. Newsasia bar is pretty pretty too.

After that we headed to Max Brenner at esplanade for some late night chocolate indulgence.


I still prefer koko black though. The smooth thick ice chocolate with 2 scoops of ice cream to go along. The richness of the chocolate together with the sweet tasting ice cream. Yum.. Heavenly.

The group photo at esplanade before everyone says byebye!

Buhbye huang huang!! I will miss you!
Enjoy yourself back in taiwan and eat all the fruits you wanttt!!
Remember to keep in touch yeh?

I'll go taiwan and find you one day! haha! =))

My forehead is itching and my face has 2 gigantic pimples on my cheeks because of the stupid climate change and also my irregular sleeping timings and 4 hours of sleep a day.

Angryyyyyyy with my horrendous face.
