West and East

It was utter madness rushing my Statistics report today. But at least it's done and my brain is fried.

Had a nice quiet dinner with Darren on Sunday evening. I think I've proven that if I don't get out of the house to take a breather every once in awhile, I go silly crazy on Darren.

Favorite rootbeer ever.

 I love mine medium rare!

So after handing in my report earlier in the evening, Darren and I met for another quiet dinner. #oldsouls

I took a taxi from home to school and from school to Novena, and the taxi fare was like $22 when it really should have been <$19. The driver went the wrong way when we were going to Novena and wasted so much of my time! Well at least I got my report in 5mins before the school office closes.

We ate at Seoul Yummy and honestly the standard of food has dropped since the last time I was there, many months ago. The side dishes were pretty lame and Darren thinks that the service standard dropped too, coming from someone who doesn't really notice anything besides his food.

What happens when you refuse to take a proper photo.

 Spicy Chicken Soup that wasn't spicy, just red.

 Potato pancake that probably wasn't cooked in the middle.

I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon because the food is really just blah. Not truly authentic Korean food is one thing but lacking taste and standard altogether is another. Oh when I called for the bill, this lady made us walk all the way to the counter at another part of the restaurant to pay when she could've just taken the card etc. I enquired about this when we were paying and the manager(?) who didn't seem to understand English just gave me a sheepish smile and said actually we could've just waited at our table to sign the receipt.

t(-.-t)

Now, I'm still hungry but so terribly sleepy.

School's out!

The last week of this semester is over and I'm sooo happy! My first ever ASOS purchase arrived too so that's always good news :D

Partied for a good cause on Thursday night at Butter Factory. Haven't gone clubbing in awhile so I had a blast dancing! And with all the dancing, my soul departed my body for the next day #oldsoul

Throughout the night, there were random drunkass strangers flopping themselves at our table either to rest(?) or sleep(?) so Ed made full use of the chance to entertain himself with them. This one in the white shirt took the cake. He fell asleep and didn't want to leave even when the night was over and it was so disgusting when he puked there!!!!! How inconsiderate can people be and where were his damned friends?! Ed wanted to send him home in a taxi omfgnoplease. I hope this dude knows how alone he is in this world.

Went to NaNa for the famous chicken wings and it truly is good and tasty besides the fact that it made my lips swell! Natural lip plumper not baaad at all.

I'm extremely proud of my macro food shot which looks so professional. And also, the taste of these wings reminds me of some spicy Thai flavored chicken KFC used to have, am I right?

Can't remember but I've a very bad sore throat now and it's annoying me so much.

What a weekend

This weekend was crrrrazy. Helped out Mel in giving out samples for her hair products distribution company and it was the FHM Cover Model 2012 event they were sponsoring. Who knew we would be able to experience it first hand? Was definitely an eye-opener for me and it would've been great if Mel actually took up the offer of being part of the contest HAHA!

Photos courtesy of the many photographers there.

The event ended earlier on Saturday so Darren picked me up and decided it's time to bring dear Sunsun for a well-deserved walk and me for a much needed workout. She was quite the embarrassment but still so cute. If I was lagging behind both of them, she would sit and refuse to move till I caught up with them, hence the photo below.

Helped out again on Sunday and ended the evening with spicy food at Crystal Jade. It seems like their menu has changed since the last time I've been there but the food's still pretty good. Don't think anything can go wrong with spicy food...

Here's to the last week of this semester! Funny how I always make it seem such a pain when I'm not even present for half the lectures. Can't help it when the lectures/tutorials don't really help me much and I'm better off staying home.

Toodles!

Noon Nap

I got my hair did and my nails done.

Have no idea where I learned that from but it sounds funny!

So sleepy in the afternoon I can't even concentrate on drafting out my presentation and paper. Neither do I have time for a nap though the post title says otherwise. Really hoping for one but I'm heading out sooooon.

Really wonder how will I survive when I start working long hours from Mondays to Fridays. Classes on Mondays to Wednesdays (lol) are already killin' me.

Alright, back to work.

Update:

Just came home from such a good meal at Grandma's. Everytime I'm there I behave like some malnourished kid who hasn't eaten in months and I do feel a tad bit embarrassed by my own actions but whatever. I LOVE MY GRANDMA!

Hopefully this Mocha Frap Grande would get me through the report writing tonight. Wanted to get a Venti but I've to give my zits some rest later because they need to disappear by tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully my bangs would grow another inch in the night too.

This weekend's going to be a blast!

Bored on Ladies' Night

So I found out next week is the last week of this semester and I've 3 papers and a short presentation due. No idea how I'm going to get started but I'll probably figure it out when panic sets in.

Instagram makes every photo look so good.

I love Reese's so much I'm probably going to have to pace myself so that it'll last longer. And that I won't put on unnecessary weight before this weekend which hopefully would be a fun and exciting weekend!

Brunch at Canopy

Brunch on Sunday was a success! The weather was freaking me out at first when I was preparing to leave home but it was pretty nice the entire day.

We visited Canopy located at Bishan Park. It's a pet-friendly cafe/restaurant so maybe Mel and I will bring our furry sisters next time. Food was not bad and overall it's just a very peaceful place to hang out on a lazy Sunday. Kept the receipt so I could list the prices more accurately here.

Mel's: Detox $12

Mine: Pepsi $5

 Mel's: Crabmeat Aglio Olio $19

Mine: Lobster Pomodoro $19

The portion of pasta was more than enough. Couldn't finish mine but if I was really hungry I would've. Texture of the pasta was just the way I liked it, not overcooked, and the sauce was tasty. Well worth the effort of traveling there!

We took quite a few photos but my boyfriend thinks I look like a very handsome boy in all the photos so I shall just upload one. Sorry sexy Mel! Blame it on my bad bangs and I have been so annoyed by my hair I cannot wait for it to grow out.

Headed to Bugis after and realized the reason why I haven't been there in the longest time, is because of the amount of dust. Everytime I'm there, I start sniffling and my eyes become so watery and sore and my skin feels super dirty after.

Mel was hungry about 2.5hrs after we had brunch (hahahaha) so we had hotpot at this Chinese place called Hong Guo. And when I mean Chinese place, I mean Chinese place. I was ready to throw my pot at everyone. They kinda messed up my special order too.

Spicy Beef Soup Set $15+

And yay Monday's over! Not that I did anything productive besides a few pages of Brain and Behavior notes.

I♥AEO

Today was such a bummer. Mel and I initially made plans for a fancy brunch but just as I was about to leave home, it poured. And I don't mean just a light spring shower, it was a freak thunderstorm. The kind that leaves Sundae shivering in a corner. (Maybe I should just buy her a thundervest meant for timid dogs because it helps calm them.)

On a brighter note, my package arrived!

One of Darren's purchases arrived too and he had 2 boxes plus he has another package which hasn't been delivered yet so look who's the shopaholic now. His are all fitness stuff which's irrelevant to me because they're so boring yet expensive?!

Anyway, the point of this is to declare my undying love for American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). I don't get this much happiness shopping anywhere else. There's a story behind this particular purchase this month which I shall summarize.

1. When they emailed me a notification to say that my order has been shipped out, it didn't come with a tracking number and I was unable to check the status of my delivery process.

2. Decided to email them 3 days after the notification to ask about the tracking number. Received a reply within 12hrs (I♥AEO) saying they've a research team looking into it.

3. A couple hours later, they apologized and provided me with my tracking number (I♥AEO). I replied: Thank you so much for your help and prompt replies. This is why I shop at AE.com.

4. They freaking replied my email saying they're thrilled to hear that I enjoy shopping at AE.com and they've a commitment to high quality apparels and service, and that I'll continue to consider AEO as a destination store for my apparel needs. (I♥AEO)

I fell harder in love. I know it could just be a template answer but the effort taken to reply my enquiries and compliments promptly?! I'm super duper impressed. Have experienced my fair share of mass retail online stores *forcough21* who seem not to care about customer service at all, so having constantly good shopping experiences at AE.com feels really really good.

Also experiencing some sizing issues with some of the items I bought and they're guiding me through the whole return/exchange process so patiently. AEO has proven itself to be my life partner and I'm so glad to have been a regular for the past 7 years. It's money well and wisely spent. Stuff that I got 5 years ago, I'm still wearing them now!

Moral of the story: SHOP AMERICANEAGLE.COM FOR QUALITY APPARELS AND SERVICE.

They're currently having a promotional flat rate of 25USD for international shipping so hurry!

Don't really know how to explain the relationship between Sundae and Darren.

Ended the tiring day of unpacking the boxes of stuff with junk food. I didn't have much and I'm so proud of myself!

The breadstix shown above is to die for. It's full of sodium and cheese but whatever it was delicious. The little tub beside it is supposed to be salsa but no it wasn't! I thought it was going to be the chunky tomato kind and even bought an extra tub but it turned out to be something like BBQ sauce. Delivery took exactly 30mins so all's good in the 'hood.

Have a great last day of the week everyone!

OOTD on a crazy day

So glad to have handed in my report paper and made it for my appointment. It was such a crazy afternoon of rushing around getting things done I could've died along the way. But I didn't thanks to a very good breakfast.

Going to the market to get food for myself in the morning reminds me of why I'll never be a stay-at-home housewife.

Spent the rest of the morning ripping out pages from People magazine so I can update my behind the door decor for this month. It's the only magazine I buy now because the content is actually worth the $10.

A simple OOTD for the warm afternoon. Darren is a really bad photographer, or maybe it's because I can't keep still. Nope I think it's his bad photography skills. I don't know how else to take OOTD photos! Unless I ask my maid to help but she'll think I'm crazier than I already am.

Had a quick dinner of sushi with Darren before heading home feeling lost on a Friday night. Have you ever had those days of wanting to go out and do something fun because it's the weekend, but staying in sounds equally good as well? I'm having one of those days (again).

So sleeeepy and on an annoyed sidenote, DHL will only deliver my package tomorrow morning because they didn't manage to complete all deliveries by today?!?! This has never happened before and I'm so upset.

DHL I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

When all else fails, shop!

Yay finally got my hair products from Mel and I'm super duper excited to start using them again. The samples that I got earlier really worked for my hair so I decided to purchase the full sized ones. Thanks Melly!

Here's a Lebel family in my bathroom. The little mask tub is too cute to throw away. Maybe I'll wash it and use it for when I travel.

So anyway, Mel and I met up and had dinner at Ajisen Ramen (what's new), and then we went shopping! Actually I reached Orchard first so a patrol around Forever 21 was in order. So glad I did because I managed to get some real necessities I've been looking for like a white tank top and undies.

Am SOOO in love with the fully laced boyshort undies from F21. They're really soft and feels like they're barely there. Recently, every trip I make to F21 I'll be sure to grab 2-3 pairs because the colors are always changing and I like to hoard many colors of the same design when it comes to clothes I love. Plus they're pretty affordable at $7 each.

If you need tank tops in every color of the rainbow, go to F21 now while they still have loads of stock!

My new obsession is probably with H&M. Their stuff never really appealed to me till recently when I found my white blouse and pastel shorts. Realized that the quality of their clothes is not bad and at such great prices I can't resist!

All in all, it seems like I'm just giving myself excuses to shop but I'm truly so happy after shopping. Hopefully my brain would be able to work harder and churn out nicer outfits whether it's for school or going out.

Back to completing my Psych report!
