The only thing against you is YOURSELF.

Had a very simple birthday last week. X came over and we lazed the day away cuz I  had to fly off for work that very night.

"If I could have just one birthday wish, it would be to spend more time with my loved ones."
Got this huge ass bruise during work. *sigh* Wondering how long it's gonna take for this to heal and meanwhile, I'm looking for stuff to wear that will cover it. The problem is, I hate wearing pants and jeans and maxi dresses=/.
Random camwhore picture. I think I look very young here haha!
There was a 15% discount for all purchases at the 'Warehouse' store in London, and these are regrettably my impulse buys.



Was complaining to the bf that my hair sticks out on the right side now after the haircut. It happens when my hair is sliced too thinly. The hairstylist told me to use a straightening iron but I am far too lazy for that. Hence I'm experimenting with tying my hair up.I know X likes me better with my hair up anyway!

FYI: I have BIG news. Finally set a date for our solemnization in January next year. I just wanna get the formalities over and done with and I guess I'm just very different from other brides that way. No hassle over what wedding gown to choose, what the bridesmaids should wear, which hotel to host a banquet, none of that for me thank you! It will be an extremely low-key and private affair and I guess I'm more focused on reality. Call me a wet blanket or a pessimist, but the truth is - marriage does not guarantee happiness. I am aware that X and I have had a lot of issues all along and who knows what will happen even after we say those vows? Ultimately I just want to prepare X for the reality that life will not be a walk in the park or a bed of roses. I want him to know what he's getting into.

Deep down, I guess I'm just afraid that things may not work out and that he will regret it.

*sigh*

I guess my biggest problem is MYSELF.



To Bangkok with love.

This whole week I've been so happy because X and I spent so much time together! We went to Bangkok where I did A LOT of shopping and then we still had 2 more days of leave together after coming back to Singapore. There will be a lot of photospam of food, shopping, camwhoring and ootds so bear with me k?

First camwhore pic at the airport transit area after check-in. Puffy eyes due to very little sleep the night before.
 We had breakfast at Coffee Bean and shared the eggs benedict.
 #ootd pic taken at the toilet haha!
X reads this and even subscribes to it. It's kind of a cheem read and quite expensive, more than S$10 I think?
Bothering the bf whilst on the bus that was fetching us to our hotel! As usual, couldn't get him to take a photo with me.


Som Tam Nua at Siam Square night market.  Pretty nice food and the queue was really long when we got there!
My first buy at Platinum Mall, I feel like Cinderella when I wear them LOL.
This is what the bf does everyday whilst I'm out shopping. I see many non-local girls dragging their bfs along when shopping, but I don't like to do that...their bfs' faces always look very pitiful and 'xianzz'. So I prefer to let him sleep!
Pink bralet and polka dot shorts from BKK. They were like less than S$10 each!
This shop has lots and lots of cute cartoon stuff. X ended up buying quite a lot of Ben10 stuff for his nephew.
Eating Swensens in BKK is so cheap, only S$4plus for a sundae!
Jumping onto the aztec trend bandwagon. Also bought an aztec print skirt that I really like. Will make an #ootd pic on Instagram when I wear it.

Showing off my new #armswag!
Random #ootd shot.


We ate at the roadside stall on the 2nd night. Food was pretty good but rather pricy for roadside food. I think they kinda inflated the prices cuz of the influx of tourists in that area.

We walked over to Siam Paragon after dinner to 'After you' cafe for dessert. Recommended by a Thai colleague of mine and it was REALLY crowded when we got there. Thankfully we didn't really have to wait long for our table!


Must try: Shibuya honey toast and chocolate lava cake. I like that they are generous with the portion of ice-cream. The toast was delicious but the chocolate lava cake was slightly bitter for me.
Last day in BKK so I really shopped like mad. It's like I didn't really stop to consider like I normally would because my mind was telling me 'it's now or never'. So I see, I like, I just buy buy buy!!!
 Obsession with black shoes. Loving the black studded ones on the extreme left.




Wanted to try T&K seafood at Chinatown but taxi driver claimed it was closed and sent us on a joyride to this other place 'Kuang Seafood'. Fortunately his recommendation was pretty good, there was wifi in the restaurant so I checked for reviews. FYI: Stir-fried morning glory is a staple in BKK so do try it there. It's actually 'kang kong' and I love kang kong anyway so every meal I would be like "I wanna eat morning glory I wanna eat morning glory!"
Went to this rather atas massage/spa place. Quite expensive compared to those neighborhood ones I normally go to but X is a creature of comfort who prefers to pay more for abit of luxury so I just went along. He was the one paying anyway haha... I have to admit that the masseuse was very skilful, she 'cracked' my stiff backbone before I could put up any resistance and it felt SHIOK. LOL.

Went to check out the famous Pratunam chicken rice on the last day before our flight. It was tasty but definitely nowhere as good as Singapore's. The chilli dip is different too.
Some shopping at the BKK airport. X bought the Chanel lipstick and mascara for me. Thanks love!


Last taste of thai food before we head back to SG. *sniffs* Gonna miss BKK even though I had a stomach upset most of the time. I love spicy thai food even though my stomach cannot really take it. Every meal I would pester X and say "I want to drink tom yum soup!" and by the second day my stomachache was really  bad. I didn't dare to buy their medication though so I just stopped eating anything spicy. *sigh* Will definitely like to go back there again, but we'll see. To be fair to X I will probably let him pick the next choice of vacation destination.

When we got back to SG I was craving dim sum so we went to Big Bosses at Vivocity. This is my favorite dish there. It's deep fried mango prawn roll and it's SO crispy! Really yummy.


 Sorry for the blurry shot.
 Having a drink at ToastBox and here's X dodging my camera as usual=P
 Headed back to Tampines for dinner to celebrate my youngest brother's b'day and when we passed Dip Drops they had a 20% discount on everything between 7-9pm. Couldn't resist and I ended up with 2 tops and a cute pair of shorts. So terrible right? I just came back from BKK with over 30 tops and here I am shopping again-_-". The collared top is from Topshop, X bought it for me cuz he said it was nice=) Thanks again love!
 Had all-day brekkie at Mooshi Bakes on Saturday before catching 'Premium Rush' at Katong 112. Truffle oil scrambled eggs with ciabatta toast and sausages!
 #ootd inside the toilet again.
 Bf is a geek and wants to buy a new laptop even though his current Macbook is only a year old.
 X took this pic for me. I shall be training him to take better #ootd pictures for me=).


 Had my favorite mushroom soup at Baci after the movie. They have one of the best mushroom soup in my opinion. And look at the coffee art on my latte. SO CUTE. As I was stirring my coffee I said "bye kitty cat..." and X said sternly "it's a rabbit lah!". Wahaha. Bimbo moment.

And finally had my long overdue haircut today! Did a treatment for my prone to tangles hair as well and it's so much lighter and healthier now=). I don't have any hair sponsors but if you are interested to know where I do my hair just leave a comment and I'll reply. That concludes the end of this super lengthy post. Goodnite!
