2012

Hi hundreds and thousands.

so 2012 is coming to an end and it's the first year where I make the effort to think back.
normally for me, I tend to just look forward to the next day, the future instead of thinking back. It's probably a self-defense mechanism that I build up over the years. It's painful to have throwbacks and be reminded of bad things. Really, just bad things.

but this year, because of my blog and readers I sort of psyched myself to do a throwback on the past weeks and days and hours and minutes and seconds of 2012.

Very honestly, the start of the year seemed very much like a blurred vision in my head and I can't think of anything that happened then.

So I'm going to start from where I can remember.. {which very much starts somewhere around May where I made the effort to start bookmarking dates in my iPhone} only thing I remembered was me signing up to take my driving license

May.. The month where I started looking for a part time job because I was having a long break from school and was thus seen working in cotton on. I was so happy when I first got the job because the pay is so much higher than most retail shops out there. but omg, the workload is really mental. like I can fold a table pile of clothes nicely and neatly, turn around, turn back and the neatly folded clothes would be in a cow-dung mess again. It was infuriating. well, beyond infuriation. I constantly have a thought of shooting the customers with a fully loaded rifle and then throw a grenade on them to blow them into pieces.

Apart from my job at Cotton On, I got offered another job at Frolick. I've always wanted to be a frolick girl from the time I lived over at holland village and this was like oooo. I want this man. This was the all time idiot proof job. You just idle there, eat yoghurt and wait for customers to order their little cup of frozen happiness. heads up! the lychee flavour is da bomb. trust me on this one. I mean, it's lychee?!

While working there, I was approached by the job scouters from Abercrombie and Fitch but I sort of declined them because I'm quite sick of retail. I also quit Cotton On around that period because the job over at Frolick is the ultimate lazy-girl-dream-job.

So.. I was in Frolick for 2 months before I called off. Only reason was their management is really unfair. boohoo

ok, so when I was still over at Frolick till July, I ended my abusive relationship with my cheating and mental ex-boyfriend. I get speechless when it comes to him. He is just.. I can't even...... ok in short, he is a piece of poop that I had to involve the police in. yes, 999 ma da chu.

Moving on.. nothing much interesting happened in August.. meh

then came September where school work was piling up and I was in such a mental stage one day that when everyone was rushing out their work {I suppose} to hand in the next day, I went surfing on the net, browsing through blogshops. As I was browsing through.. this little brave voice inside me told me to email the blogshops to try modeling. ok, actually Minz have always been psyching me to try out modeling for blogshops but I never really gave it a thought. But the emails I sent out that day opened many windows for me.

And this made September/October the month where my blogshop modeling journey started.. {I would say October because I started towards the end of September}

October had been a really good month for me!!

October was the one special month I met Alex. blush
It's another long story between us and maybe I'll go into that on another day but for now just know that, firesparks fly and magic glittered down on us. Having him was the highlight of my 2012. Counting the days, we've only been together for 2 and a half months exactly but really, {as cliché as it may sound} it seemed like I've known him since forever. We got really used to each other and everything fitted like a jigsaw puzzle. ok maybe not everything everything but you get what I mean.. 

October was also the month where I started with this blog and embarked on my online modeling journey for real because I used to model for an owner who sells on tabao but I stopped. I can't be more thankful for the generous amount of support and love I've received within just these two months from all of you guys. I am really super duper wuper touched {': Just a few months back, I couldn't even think of myself working as a blogshop model or a blogger at all but now, magic just did the job. I really thank all of you guys from the deepest, bottomest pit of my heart.

October passed and November ushered in. November was one hell of an eventful month. From Alex's birthday to my birthday to my grandfather's death anniversary which falls on my birthday. I really hope that these three events will continue to fall into place every November for the next seventy years of my life..

Also,  November marks the month where advertorials first started popping out on my blog!! Another bunch I'm grateful for.

Finished with November and December channeled in. I love this year's December. Everything felt so fine and so right. Christmas this year made huge contributions to my adoration for December. I enjoyed every festival starting October till date because admittedly, I get to spend it with Alex.

Most of all, I thank god for my family. For the family that are stuck with me for the rest of my remaining life even though I can get pretty fast and furious at times.

Not to forget my friends who I've known for years now, thank you guys!!
special shoutout to Minz, thank you woman for never failing to be supportive and protective of me and for constantly being right beside me.

ok! Last person! Alex, thank you for being mine.

All in all, I'm thankful for my life. For all that I have today. For all the people who has been in and out of my life till date. For all the people who have helped me go this far and all the people who have pulled me down. For the hell that I've been through. For all the kindred souls. For all my supporters, followers and readers. For all the haters and poopsterz {if not for you guys, I would have never numbed myself and set a high target for myself} For my sponsors and blogshops owners who are mostly very nice and friendly people to work with.

Thank you 2012.

I hope 2012 has been good to you as well and I sincerely wish for 2013 to be a fruitful and good year for you guys.

See you again in 2013!! mwah

I cannot emphasize enough on how efficient and friendly the people are over at TWB.

Before I start on the apparels.. I would like to give them a shout out for being super awesome.

So.. I was given the choice of three items from their webstore and two apparels caught my eye and one pair of heels finished the job. When I emailed the owner telling her I chose the two apparels and if it's possible the pair of heels as well, she told me that the heels were on preorder but she will order it specially for me. omg, people like these make me wanna cry. so touched {': I honestly thought she would tell me no.

the best thing was she ordered the pair of heels the very next day.
the world should have more of these kindred souls around. super duper wuper thankful for people like that.

Retro Speak

Adv

Good morning little doves
This is my first time blogging this early. whoa

why?
It is only because I received an email from Retrospeak this morning and I felt that I really have to share this with all of you.

what's RetroSpeak?
It is basically a website where you get to do a review on anything and everything.


I personally and honestly feel that this is a great platform for consumers like myself to learn and know more about a particular product/service that I'm interested to acquire.

If you don't already know, I'm a real fickle-minded and really, I tend to stray off from decisions making. I always always and I mean always have second thoughts on most products I buy, especially facial products.

Throwback on one of the longest decision making experience..

I wanted to get a bottle of foundation

I took 3 months just to decide on a bottle of foundation. I can't even.. times like these, I feel like punching myself straight in the face.

the reason why I took sooooo long to decide was because I had queries about all of the brands I had in mind, and nobody was there to help {except for the salesgirl, which isn't of much help either. I mean, every salesgirls would recommend the foundation from their own company right..} and it was extremely difficult for that inconsistent mind of mine to choose the one foundation I need.

Now admit it!! most girls are just about the same but fret not!! because now with RetroSpeak, getting reviews from third parties comes alot easier and I think it would be of great help to tough-decision-makings situations.

When you gather more third parties reviews on the product/service{mostly unbias and fair} that you're interested in, you'll then be able to weigh out the pros and cons with more ease.

sooo, head down to www.retrospeak.sg to join the community and start helping with hair-pulling decisions making!! {you know it's that tough}

before that, feel free to enter this contest brought to you by RetroSpeak. Such awesome prizes!! squeals


and don't forget to like them on their facebook page!!

They stocked the page with great deals and exclusive promotions just for you!!

Head over now!!

Christmas

Howdy!! This post is all about Christmas..

My Christmas was so extremely awesome I forgot to take any pictures.

I was in such mental rush decorating the Christmas tree, getting last minute presents, wrapping presents, mailing out the present parcels, organising a Christmas dinner, attending Christmas dinners and gatherings that I totally didn't have any time to catch my breath and take a snap.

I am such scattered brains and flustered body, I feel like crying everytime I think of the pictures I could've have.

Every other blog I go to has pictures of their Christmas :{

My Christmas schedule went something like:

17th - hunting for presents

18th - hunting for more presents

19th - hunting for even more presents

ok you get the drift..

I get presents every single time I head out to town and this went on for about 8 days
if you do the math, it ended just a day before Christmas, that makes it Christmas eve

I mailed all of the present parcels out on the 23rd hoping it would reach the recipients by Christmas but no... everyone received it on the 26th fail

On the 24th that's Christmas eve, I had some friends over and my motherman made dinner she makes such good food, big pity I didn't take pictures of the food else you'll be salivating now

min's boyfriend said something like, "how do you even stay so skinny? your mum makes such good food man"

hehe, so proud of you motherman!! mwah

then we had a little gift exchange..

and before I knew it, I had to bolt right out of the house to head over to G's house
so.. G, D, Alex and I were in the cab from my house and we spent the minute into Christmas inside

"merry christmas uncle......."

so 25th came and I spent it playing boxing and fifa on the ps3 whee~ such fun

 andddd I finally got to eat macdonald's breakfast!! been so long!
I've never had breakfast that early man...at 5am whee again.

headed back home at 9am and woke up at 2pm to a house filled with people and more people and even more people.

totally went down to zone out in front of the tv for the whole day till night came and strutted out again to G's house, this time to play poker. wheewhee

no macdonald's breakfast that morning...meh

7am came and home I went. homesweethome

and there, into the arms of mister bed I went crashing

that's pretty much it! It felt a tinny winny bit weird not seeing anyone on the night of the 26th. like I can totally get used to that owl life.

but ok no, I need a normal timeline.

and.. this was how my Christmas went by.
it's still Christmas by the way, 12 days of Christmas!! but it seemed so forgotten :{

Christmas 2012 was nothing but gggrrreat.

Thank you everyone who was involved in making my Christmas this brilliant.

Great food, fantastic company, superb time.

So sorry for this typographic post.
I told cha I have no pictures :'{

Merry Christmas reindeers!!

Your Wardrobe Staples

Adv
Hello lola!!
It's 3 more days to Christmassssss.
I just can't wait. I've never been so excited if I haven't already made it a point to mention this. Downside is I'm sick. I'm half alive.

But no sickness can bring me down because today morning I crawled out of bed and rushed down to the post office to mail out all of my presents. I was in such a rush I didn't manage to take a photo of my big santa bag. It was really huge ok. I've never ever mailed so many items out before man.

So okok, let's start rolling..

Today's ad will be for...



-

First item they sent over is..

a white peter pan collar chiffon top


the moment I  saw this, preppy preppy preppy just started popping out everywhere in my head.
the rounded peter pan collar just add a cute twist to the whole piece.

-

I played around with specs, suspenders, navy blue and gold shorts for the "preppy"style...









-

threw a chilli red knitted pullover and light denim for the starbucks days..



-

and below I put together some apparels you guys can use to match with the peter pain top...




-

Second item that was mailed over!


Their lace cardigan. It's like a mix of sweet and casual. I think the hood at the back gives out a more boy-ish feel so for girls who do not like the over-sweet dressy styles, this one is for you!




-

Again, putting together a few other apparels you can match this piece with.



-

That's about it all and please head down to www.yourwardrobestaples.blogspot.sg now because they are having a Christmas promotion!!
