News and Purchases!

So it's been awhile. Life hasn't been crazy persay but I just haven't had the desire to blog. I also kind of forgot I had a blog.

ANYWAY, I'm done with my Master of Mass Communication at NTU. The graduation ceremony is in two weeks. After which I'm supposed to be starting my job *fingers crossed if everything goes well* as a Research Associate in NTU. It's going to be a job doing research using Digital Technology to Combat Obesity. Can't really explain it. But its cool.

In the meantime I'm back in Malaysia for a couple of days recouping with the family, waiting for immigration paperwork type stuff and generally eating my face off.

I'm also moving into a new place in Singapore - a condo where I'll be renting a room from a lovely lady which should be great. I now have these new resolutions for me being 26. I'm SUPER excited about it, but thats totes another post.

So basically its a bit of limbo time for me - packing up stuff, throwing away stuff, immigration stuff, hanging out with the fam stuff and so on. I'm also turning 26... so... I BOUGHT NEW CLOTHES! Ahahahaha - which is really the actual point of this post.

So the other day with my friends Hattie I went to the Ngee Ann City Food Festival where we ate some Taiwanese fried chicken and ate famazing Udderz ice-cream. And then we SHOPPED.

I bought a Pull and Bear skirt for like SGD9.90 - I know its a bandage skirt and I have like 5 but I love it!

I then bought this SGD10 from Cotton On (I have one just like it in like Tiger print something which looks good) and a belt from Myphosis for another SGD10 for my birthday.

But then the next day when I went to Marina Square Mall to kill time I found this dress for a super cheap SGD47.90 at Desigual and I HAD TO HAVE IT.

I'm planning on wearing it with silver hoops and obviously just pretending I'm Latine :)

It's called retail THERAPY

Dress from ASOS - got it in a 12 was WAY too big and then had to go to Far East plaza to alter it for SGD30 but Choo Alteration Center did a kickass job - basically everything I'm buying is to go with this dress which I'm planning to wear after my last exam for a Christmas dinner party and then party-partying...

Bought this belt to cinch the dress, because it looks better from Forever 21 at Orchard XChange. Ten bucks - totally worth it.

Kinda boring but I got this Cyber Colors Zero Pore Primer from Sasa. I dunno if its any good but Cyber Colors is generally good and the Majorca Majolica one I have makes me look insanely white because it has SPF in it. Plus I'm so tanned now so it doesn't work. It was on sale from SGD25.90 to SGD20.72 so I thought that was cool.

Again kinda boring but I got a neutral-ish lipliner in Clover Pink from The Body Shop. I checked out Maybelline's and Bourjois' but I didn't like them. It's not super neutral nudy its more like pinky brown. It was SGD18.90 - no discount.

Ok fun stuff! Got fake eyelashes - also Cyber Colors. They were SGD8.90 and one free! I'm going to wear them so I can try and recreate Lisa Eldridge's pretty makeup look.

More fun stuff! I got the Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss in Rose Gold. The idea is that it will go over the lipliner to be super shiny and pretty. Kinda expensive at SGD23.50. But it was recommended by Lisa Eldridge so...

And these GORGEOUS ear-rings are from DIVA. I saw them and I was like this is it! I love them, they were SGD17.

Bought these two t-shirts from Esprit today, I got them both at 20% off so it was supposed to be like SGD50 but then it was SGD40. I love them - the purple one fits well and the pink one is just so me...

That's it! Hopefully this is the end to my mad shopping urges :)

Packing for the end of TIME

In the days leading up to my move to Singapore I have been buying lots and lots of stuff. Face stuff, body stuff, eye stuff... and my room is starting to resemble a haphazard end of time type bomb shelter. I figured I would take some pictures and share the immense amount of stuff that I have accumulated for my Singapore adventure.

Here goes...

And this is just a fraction of everything I've bought and I'll be taking. I haven't included clothes, kitchen stuff, fly swat, medication, etc. etc... I swear going back to school is making me a very poor person.

India Shopping

This is going to be all pictures of the stuff I bought in India. Nothing else. And of course some descriptions and explanations of what, when and why. Because I obviously can't help myself.

Let's start with the small stuff. I got presents (keychains) for work people and this awesome mousepad from myself from a store, can't remember what its called wait... got it, it's called The Bombay Store!


Got this Lakme quad - looks pretty but the quality is pretty shitty. I also got a bronze gold lipstick I didn't photograph, that's quite nice.


My aunt who was visiting India from the US brought me tons of mascara, as per my request and brought me the John Mayer CD I sent to her house off Amazon. Love this CD.


Also I bought this Marian Keyes book from Crossword in Shoppers Stop. It's good but nowhere near as good as Sushi for Beginners or Last Chance Saloon.

I also got The Mummy because it only cost me RS499 which is basically nothing compared to prices in Malaysia.

Other small stuff I got was these bindis which I got on the last day, at the last minute at the station road. It was madness. I'm so sad I didn't get more.


I got this top and shoes in Inorbit. The grey shoes are Miss Sixty, so cheap like RS2500. Only thing is I have NO idea when/where/how I'm going to wear them. I'm going to try wearing them to work tomorrow. Should be good.



Now for the Indian clothes! BTW I bought more than this but I got lazy photographing it. I did put the most expensive stuff in though. This first kurta I got on sale for RS500, I wear it to work, its nice and simple.

My cousin picked out this kurta. It's sooooooo pretty. I'm going to wear it for Ching Wen's brother's wedding this Saturday. Sorry this picture is so blurry but I can't be bothered to take another one.

My Dad picked out this kurta, completely love it. The dupatta and churidar are silk, while the top is cotton with embroidery. Got it from this store close to my aunt's house called Pagli. Cost about RS5500.



This sari my cousin gave me as a present. It's silk and very sweet.


This sari was on sale, about RS2000, I got it from Shoppers Stop. i love the 70's vibe of it.


I LOVE this sari. It's half net and half silk I think, got it from Jashan. It was about RS5000.



This sari was the most expensive, got it from a store called Sheetal. It was over RS12,000. It's so expensive it came with it's own cloth bag!



And look at these AWESOME shoes I got to wear with Indian clothes. The brand is Catwalk.


Finally I got this jewelry to go with my clothes. Let's start with these awesome ear-rings I got from Shoppers Stop, both Western and Indian clothing friendly. The bangle was a present.


This was a necklace on sale, sorry about the quality of the picture. Anyway it was about RS400. Got it from this jewelry store called Sia. Fake and fabulous jewelry.


These bangles were on sale, I think they were about RS1500 or so. They're very heavy, very fancy.


This necklace my Dad hated. I was shopping with him that day. Anyway I completely ignored him and bought it anyway. It was about RS1500 as well.


That was all my India shopping. Crazy, now that I look back on it. Too much even. I leave you with the image of my O.P.I. painted toenails, Got it done at a L'oreal salon around the corner from my aunt's house in Mumbai.
