Secret Garden

Saturday, 17 December 2011






I'm thankful for so many things that Singapore has that I've often taken for granted. One very important fine example is the clean toilets we have that don't require me to hold my breath 20metres away from the entrance. Something as simple as this was made significant in Shanghai.

I'll probably Never move to China...Unless social networking websites are no longer banned, the country is more developed, and I can actually understand the rationale behind the people's behaviour.

Updates soon!

Meanwhile, this is our song in Shanghai... Hearing it now brings back memories :')
It was playing when we were walking down Nanjing Road (East to West, we almost died) on a quiet evening, when it was freezing cold.

The Sun that never sets

Saturday, 10 December 2011

One moment we were watching the sun set from Moscow to Houston, but before the sky turned completely dark, the rising sun was blinding our eyes and we had to draw the window shade down. And there you have it, my first sunset and sunrise in a matter of two hours.


I'm a big fan of nature's work so imagine my surprise when I saw these snow mountains right beneath the plane's wings! I was staring so hard trying to look for a polar bear or any form of a moving creature so I can proudly claim I saw something MOVE but nah, no such luck. It was sooooooo white and pretty though!!






And of course, a trip to Houston wouldn't be complete without IHOP's greasy breakfast ;) They've the besttttttt pancakes!



BY THE WAY, I received an email two days ago to inform me that I've been awarded a Passs by Compensation so, I AM GOING TO GRADUATE!!! *throws confetti* :) Thank you all for your kind words and help! I was so happy and touched when I saw the email I really felt like crying and making a speech to thank all my friends who were concerned and helping me all the way. I must've done something right to deserve schoolmates like these :')

Now I can thoroughly enjoy myself in the land of noTwitter, noFacebook, noYoutube and noBlogger. Very excited to be in the cold! Bought a truckload of knitwear for this trip so I'll be wearing something new everyday in Shanghai!

Two outfits from this week:



New loves: ASOS sunglasses and Benefit's red lipstick!



Receiving packages always makes me happy! 
Look what came in the mail!


MerryMolly sent me their newest manufacture item - this collared top in red. 
I love how versatile it is!
Because there are 2 layers, you can choose to tuck in or out and you'll have 2 entirely different looks with just one top!



It is yet to be released so hop on over to MerryMolly, join their mailing list to be notified when it's launched! :)

Till the next, 
xxx!

Houston, we have a problem.

Friday, 2 December 2011

My final semester, and I failed a module.
I cried the entire day and nothing's changed.
I can't graduate.
Like what H said, I'm not looking for a job change next year nor am I getting a degree to earn more so there's no rush.
But I can't get it past myself.
I was never one to... fail.
I always get what I want and I can even get away with murder like many said.
This is something new.
Houston has brought on a whole new meaning and created a new set of memories.
Coming back here again would feel entirely different.

Being absolutely lovable and sweet, H sponsored all my shopping in Houston since I was such a sad girl. He's probably a sad boy now hahahaha.

Moving on to one of my favorite topics,
a compilation of outfits which I liked:










Back soon!
Happy holidays everyone! :)
