Lackluster

Final leg of finals ha-ha. Seriously hate the timetable of exams this semester but since it's the last one tomorrow I shall quit the complaining and get on with describing photos of my life so far.

Recently got my hair touched up because I don't want my roots to be showing in vacation photos. The funny (and good) thing is that the photo above shows my hair color before the touch-up. It doesn't look like I've roots at all which's weird because I've gotten my hair cut quite often these past couple months so it's not like my hair has been stagnant in terms of growth. Secretly hoping that my natural hair color has decided to change to a reddish brown because I've been so nice to it. A girl can dream.

Tried Godfire ramen at Ramen Champion (Bugis) and liked it

What a sassy gal

WILD BEAST

Been quite in the working out zone recently because I want my body to look the best it can at my age. Not a willing victim of a saggy butt and bulging tummy. Darren has been helping me out so much in the fitness department. I mean, constantly being around someone else's six pack abs does make me feel bad about my body only because I know I could have that if I wanted to. And well I did have it, until laziness visited and decided to stay.

Problem areas: -circles entire body-

Does this count for something?

Smug after  surviving an hour of suffering

If you feel in need of a spark of motivation in terms of fitness, do contact Darren. Most people have this impression that personal training sessions cost a bomb and that it's not worth it when you can just workout at your own pace FOC. I used to think this way until I realized that never would I have the discipline or knowledge to identify what type of workouts my body needs. There's so much more to it than just running like a hamster on the treadmill, trust me on this.

In case you're interested, D.Fitness is having an ongoing personal trainer promotion and you can view the promo rates here. If you're a student like me, you enjoy a student discount! Don't be shy or hesitate any further and just go for it. There's no time better than now and personally, I prefer a perkier ass on myself. And it doesn't hurt hanging around with a bunch of hot guys at the gym.

Mel and I participated in a flea and it was so bad this time round. Usually we clear most of our stuff but after the organizer shifted the location of the flea, it was so bad. Will definitely have to think twice if we're planning to join anymore fleas after this. The best part was definitely the chatting and spacing out together since we rarely see each other these days.

HA

Bravely partied at Mink in the midst of exams because I wouldn't have any other time to do that. The next day, I had such a bad baaaaad tummy ache and almost died waiting for Darren to bring me food because he was stuck in a meeting. Basically rolled around in bed the entire day with the occasional visit from Sundae. He bought me piping hot Ajisen so all the hate disapparated.

Finally took time out to bring the grizzly bear to the groomer's and of course she caused me such embarrassment. Had diarrhea twice during grooming and led all the other dogs in a barking frenzy. She's so wild. Does that say anything about me as the pet owner/sister?

Crunch Time

I would willingly buy a hardcopy of this dictionary and read it just for fun. Random fact: I used to read English dictionaries for fun as a kid. I'd run out of things to read at home and my entire series of Enid Blytons and Archie comics had already been read only about 978327687423 times. Mommy refused to buy me more books because Daddy was a hoarder of books and our house was just bursting with books and we had to buy new bookshelves for books you get the drift. She told me to read the daily newspapers but I've a fear of touching newspapers and I'm not alone so that makes me feel better and yet another random fact!

Anyway, I almost fell asleep during an exam earlier on. Had two papers in a day and was thinking it'll be a breeze but never did I expect my brain to slowly shut down after the first paper was done. It was so horrible trying to stay awake. The student behind me was probably cursing and swearing at me for being so fidgety in my seat.

Need to rest my brain cells now. Another paper on Saturday which I haven't studied for, so I'm going to spend this public holiday studying. Good times good times.

Wants

It's that time of the season to conjure up a list of things I want but can't afford. It doesn't hurt to dream or be inspired, and then frantically search for cheaper alternatives to suit your seasonal shopping budget.

This summer, it's all about dreamy and wispy fabrics in the sweetest of colors. In such outfits is where you can inject hints of masculinity like rugged boots or statement accessories, my favorite being these. Considering how the dog days of summer are here, I love wearing looser tops in fabrics that don't cling to hot and sweaty skin. Unexpected cut-outs are always welcome.

Happy weekend!

Inspired

I haven't a vague idea what my recent sense of style is but somehow I always find myself back at the classics. One moment I can be trawling Forever 21 for trendy items, but the next I'm back on JCrew getting inspired by the latest lookbook so I can shop for similar and cheaper alternatives.

Classics are what my mom used to dress me in when I was a kid. Guess they're called classic pieces for a reason. It never fails to amaze me how many different ways you can style a basic white shirt. Maybe I should put together some outfits using that as a staple piece. That'll definitely put the xx number of pieces I have in my closet to good use.

Envision yourself wearing this to school. The environment there's dreary enough as it is so it wouldn't hurt to be that pop of Tiffany Blue running around campus if you're usually late for classes like I am. You will get noticed by that cutie, trust me.

This would most definitely be a date outfit with a boyfriend/girlfriend. I'm very thankful for the people in my life who bother to dress well and serve as a constant inspiration. Birds of a feather flock together and I might've just indirectly praised myself.

I call this the "I've nothing to wear" outfit. Too often, it's those with tons of clothes who have "nothing" to wear and I'm guilty as charged. A simple outfit accessorized with simple, yet statement, pieces of jewelry has been my go-to choice. Been super obsessed with bullet/quartz pendants recently.

If you've realized, the clothing I've chosen in all my outfits were relevant then and now. Just goes to show you can never go wrong with classics. Also, it's important to dress for your body shape and size. You need to get items that fit well on your body. If it doesn't, get it altered! It is a luxury how we've tailors readily available in the nearest neighborhood market/mall so make full use of it.

Nothing annoys me more than people who wear clothes that obviously do not fit them i.e. butt-cheeks hanging out of tiny undies shorts, unsightly flesh spilling out of too-tight dresses, the list goes on and I believe we've all witnessed one too many tragedies. Let's not add to the statistics.

Bread

The only time I ever eat bread in my life is when:

1. My Grandpa specially toasts and spreads butter on it for me. And allows me to steal his entire breakfast oatmeal drink.

2. There is absolutely nothing else to eat at home. That's happening now.

At a risk of sounding uppity, I never ever have bread for breakfast. It's usually real food like bee hoon or basically some form of noodles from the coffee shop. Yes, bread isn't real to me. Well recently I've had ramen for brunch so been there done that.

Last week of school. Can't wait for this joke of a semester to end!
