Hi everyone! This will probably be my last outfit post in a long while! I think I dress better when the weather is NOT 34 degrees all the time, rain or shine. hehe

Thank you ELL for the top! :) xx

Hi loves I’m back from Melbourne! And as much as I wish I could say I’m glad to be back home, I’m not really. I’m glad I could get to hug my parents and of course, momo, but other then that I think I am dreading it so far. Perhaps while it is still a debate as to whether I’m going to be graced the opportunity to study in Melbourne the following year, my soul has already left me and is there, probably in some quaint little cafe sipping cappuccino… Or in fact, decided to stay there while my body has unwillingly returned. And if you’re wondering what I’m intending to study… the course is entitled : Hospitality (Commercial Cooking), which basically teaches you the important fundamentals of cooking and every other nitty gritty thing you need to know to run a cafe or restaurant. It is the perfect thing for me if I do wanna continue chasing my dream of opening a cafe…

Of course, as much as I want to enroll right now, there’s a lot of consider. School fees, housing fees, getting a part-time job and actually everything related to money… And then there’s the probability that I’m going to have to find a job there and stay there for quite awhile or maybe the rest of my life… I know I might be getting ahead of myself, but I’m not the 19-year old who decided to study in London just cause it sounded like a 3 year adventure. This will definitely change my life forever and is a majorly big deal. It’s kind of difficult to convince my parents fully of my convictions cause I am still not 100% sure of this whole plan. I am quite terrified with all the “what if this doesn’t work out as planned” notions in my head…

Anyways that’s pretty much the biggest thing that going on in my life and I’d be happy to hear from you if you think it’s a yay or a nay. :)

Oh yesh, remember I told you loves that I carried 3 cameras around? I have photographic evidence as documented by my friend Lydia. :) Dawn, Lydia and I went on a roadtrip to Daylesford and as much as I wanna share the photos with you now, they are all being developed right now and hopefully I’ll receive them Friday. HOPEFULLY they come out decent. Oh and I got to drive half the way there. hehe.

Thanks Lydia! xx

p.s I do still very much have every intention to open a cafe here.

Hello loves! Hope you are having/had a great weekend! To all Singaporeans, Happy extra public holiday! lol. Dawn and Darren are hosting a National Day Hotpot dinner party tomorrow and we were thinking of making Singapore flag inspired paper hats. Not that I am particularly fond of national day but any chance to make a fun dinner party full of Kodak moments, I’ll do it! :D

Did I tell you that I love SPORTSGIRL?! This season’s collection is absolute lovely with a healthy mix of pastels, girly, edgy and everything else really. Apparently clogs and desert boots are all the rage here. I wanted a pair of desert boots but the shops were all sold out of them! Fortunately I managed a pair of blag sandal clogs which obviously weren’t the most comfortable (wood soles!) but I managed a whole day in them without breaking anything!

Dawn and I taken by Darren! LOL I was trying to pin my scarf down and he kept snapping away! This was the best photo I promise!

Thank you Dawn for all the photos!

If you’re like thinking what’s up with all the outfit posts, this is probably my only chance for a long while. haha.. so… I’ll be back to other stuff soon. By the way, yup yup yup, I am doing a Melbourne Guide for sure! :D xx

Hi everyone! I’m diligently back again! Today was such a great day cause the weather was just perfect… I did alot of walking and carrying a very heavy bag (two cameras) but at the end of the day, my feet didn’t hurt a bit ! I am quite proud of  myself because the day started off with me leaving the house by myself to meet Dawn at Melbourne Museum which was about 2 tram rides and a walk away. I took the tram to town, applied and got a temp sim card (starhub you suck so bad I’m going to change to Singtel the moment I can! ) and then took another tram, then walked the distance which was really a distance, all on my own. hehe Okay, actually it’s not really that difficult to get around Melbourne cause it’s like a pac man map or rather like New York with a square grid system to the layout of the city making it almost impossible to get lost. That’s if you stick to the main streets obviously. So yes, I’m not such a genius afterall.:P

Zakkaya! Lovely Japanese goods. :)

They have a shop that sells ONLY HERBS & SPICES! I bought “Roast Pork Spice”, “Lamb Spice”, “Fish Spice”, Rock Salt and Vanilla Bean Sugar. Their spices are a mix of spices combined specifically to help you enhance the flavours of your dish! :) Trust me, I was in heaven.

Going to bed now! By the way, thank you for all the best wishes! See yer all real soon!

Hi loves! I’m in Melbourne now and about to turn in for the night. Arriving early 6.20 am this morning, I didn’t get a didn’t wink of sleep till I made it over to Dawn’s where I had 2 hours of much needed rest and left the house happily to run around the city in my granny get-up. It’s so frigging cold! I was wearing 4 layers! :) I told Dawn I was happy with my granny do, but hopefully I don’t have to wear that coat tomorrow… It’s heavy! Seeya tomorrow! Sorry about the blur photos… my camera was acting up! xx

Good Monday morning everyone! Thank you for your well wishes. After sleeping the weekend off, I am very much alive today. :) It was a great quiet weekend!

So I haven’t done an outfit post for the longest time. I’m very camera shy in general that’s why I choose to be behind the lens and not in front of it. The old me has died with age. haha. Remember that day, I posted an entry about the faux Alexa bag from Gmarket. Yes, yours truly couldn’t help herself but purchase one and I do not regret it at all. Surprisingly I can fit ALOT of things in it and you’d think it’s kinda shameless to carry a replica, but I’m sorry I don’t have $2500 to burn right now. :(

I re-discovered my “I’m not to be truffled with” bag I made which went missing for awhile. Apparently my mum was so sweet to sew on the alphabets one by one for me. :D hehe.

My current favourite song. :) Have a great week ahead my lovelies.

I wanted to do an outfit post today, but decided to draw away some attention from my photos by putting up “touristy” photos of Tokyo before .them I’m quite shy that way… haha. By the way, thanks everyone for coming back to read my blog, it’s really delightful to know that I haven’t been forgotten. *sobs* Much love! Much love!
