人的一生會積累　十萬毫升淚水
以為哭完苦悲苦味　能換來好結尾

Casual

Outfits

Those were my casual running-around-Singapore-madly-running-errands outfits. Whenever I see style blogs, it seems as though it is possible to go around the city wearing 6 inch heels running errands. How do people do that? And there's always a professional photographer around to take photos of them looking fabulous while running errands. I am such a commoner.

Been so busy trying to fix everything in the house before CNY, and all the beauty appointments I'm trying to squeeze into these couple of weeks. I've fixed kitchen sink pipes, oiled all the creaking doors, switched out lightbulbs, continuously stocked the fridge with wet market groceries (this means getting up earlier than I want to), and all other gross household stuff nobody except professionals should ever have to do.

My skin has been horrible lately due to lack of sleep because I'm so into Rizzoli and Isles currently. Gahhh I'm not ready for CNY!

Looking totally gorgeous while baking almond cookies

Saw this at Cold Storage and sent the photo to Anna. She thought it was a deity figurine of some sort. Would anyone dare to cut open this 财神爷 (God of Wealth) to get to the 年糕 (sweet glutinous cake) in it?!

Been having this Red Rice Wine Noodles when I go for appointments at Novena. It's located in the food court of Velocity, the stall selling Banmian. Love it so much! Not exactly the tastiest I've had but this is better than nothing.

Sneaky girl trying to get our attention when we go out/come home

Bug-eyed sisters

Darren sent me this, which I think is meaningful for anyone who needs a boost of spirit. Think he saw it on Instagram or something so credits to whoever made this! It may seem stupid/insignificant but I think we all have to remember this at some down point in our lives when everything feels horrible and bad.

At least I know some parts of it is true for me. Happy Monday!

Obsessed!

Nibbling on Ruffles chips now and I'm so going to regret this if I wake up with a sore throat tomorrow, but what's a lazy and hungry girl to do!

I've been pretty preoccupied with my phone lately. It's like I haven't yet come to terms with the fact that yes this is my phone and I'll only have to bring one phone around now instead of the usual two. Previously it'll be Mom's iPhone and my Nokia, but now, it's just my one phone.

Point of this entry is that I've been trying out photo editing apps and they're so fun! When I've time to spare, out comes the phone and the doodling on random photos.

Hi Meow and her beloved BM

Grumpy as usual

Mood: t(-_-t)

Spicy Tonkotsu ramen with flavored egg

This is the lil' ramen restaurant at Tanjong Pagar. I'm not sure of the exact name, maybe it's Keisuke(?) but anyway it's relatively famous because of the authenticity of the ramen and soup base etc. I've eaten here about 3x before this and really liked it. However, this recent trip was so bad! The reason why Darren was grumpy was because the place was so dirty and both of us were perspiring madly just sitting there. Do take note of what he was wearing...

For example, I found egg shells in the container holding the soup spoons! The table was oily, the container holding the bean sprouts was super oily and had soup splattered all over it, the hard boiled eggs in the basket had soup splattered over them. It was gross. Maybe the fact that we decided to go last minute at around 9.45pm is the reason why the restaurant was in such a state. I'm not sure but I'll definitely rethink my next trip there. Darren already said he'll never dine there again.

Back to the original topic of phone apps:

Outfits

Going for a facial appt :'( sans make-up

Went phone accessories shopping!

Haven't even worn this out yet haha

Do you suffer from this?

Because I do! I'm also deathly afraid of wearing the same outfit twice. Wasteful much? I'm sure I'm not alone in this ;)

This is what happens to people who ignore me:

You're welcome.

It's Thursday already which means the weekend's almost here. Hang in there, everyone!

Behind Closet Doors

"One day, you're 17 and planning for someday.

And then quietly, without you ever really noticing,

someday is today.

And then someday is yesterday.

And this is your life."

Was scrolling through my Tumblr and chanced upon that quote which I reblogged sometime back. It could not be more true. School aside, time is passing by so fast that I wish it would stop for awhile for me to realize what I'm doing with my life. Hmm okay that really got me thinking.

Did some shopping yesterday and seems like I'm not the only one happy with whatever I got ↓

That's a pretty expensive nest you've got there, Sunsun

Forever 21 has some pretty nice apparels now. Funny thing about F21 is you never know when they'll have a nice or an extremely crappy batch of clothes. A couple months ago before summer, it was really bad so I didn't shop there for awhile.

I've been really into closet decor and organization recently because I'm trying to clear out my wardrobe and it's helpful to know in what way should I organize such that my wardrobe can be a functional one.

It's pretty scary to realize half of the clothes in my wardrobe are all still unworn! Used to have the bad habit of constantly buying even before wearing stuff I already have... I had so much clothing that visibility of new clothes was 0%, which meant I would not even think about wearing them because I've already forgotten about them.

I started packing my clothes into what should be hung, what should be folded, and what should be kept in drawers but still accessible. Maybe I'll take some photos when I'm actually done packing.

When I've my own place, so much emphasis is going to be put into interior design and functionality. I guess it's due to the influence of my parents that I'm such a stickler for decor at home. For as long as I can remember, family outings during some weekends meant driving around looking for a teak study desk at Dempsey, a new bookshelf at a secluded Scanteak warehouse, or any form of furniture to add on to whatever they're planning for the house. They did the exact same thing when we lived in America, and they're still doing the exact same thing now in Australia! That explains the amount of wooden furniture we have at home. They bought so much furniture in America that we had to give away the existing ones at home in order for there to be space when we came back... Which was the entire living room!

My parents love all things country evidently. Their place in Australia is slowly filling up :-/

Who doesn't love a beautiful home? I know I do.

Have a lovely day y'all!
