• Seeing pink in a brand new light.

    Close friends would know that you could hardly spot me in a light colored nail polish because my skin colour doesn’t quite complement it. Last night I tried it again. I bought this bottle of opi during my last opi buying stint (from the states) and decided to get it cos it was very cheap and I guessed it looked okie after all! But seriously, light colours are so much harder to paint than dark colours because the unevenness of the colours will show! My toes in my nine west gladiators. My fingernails with glitter french tips. The fingernails were a little screwed cos I fell asleep before they dried…

  • My day.

    Had a long and tiring day. Slept really late last night, woke really early today and spent the entire day running around the entire island with my dad and aunt. And also very very thankful to the people who helped – dad, mum, bro, 3rd aunt, 2nd auntie, Andy and aunty rina. Am very very appreciative for all that time, effort, petrol and money spent indirectly. Shall blog the details in a separate post. Too much details and all. I just had to say I’m mighty proud of myself today and my dad says for my entire life, he thinks I’m the most ‘guai’ (obedient) today. I think so too!…

  • For tea…. No?

    Had wanted to choose this dress for the tea ceremony, so the bridal studio gave me the permission (for once!) to snap a picture of this dress and get ‘clearance’ from the elders. Sorry for the bad picture, I just draped the hanger over my neck so that I could take a quick picture. Surprise surprise! My mum is actually cool with it. But nah, of cos there were other alarms ringing so I shall not rock the boat. A pity though. Der’s conclusion? If you really want it, then just do it (and don’t ask)! If you ask, you’ll never get. Sigh. Well, I went back another to choose…

  • What derrie is up to today.

    Just a quick shout out on what derrie is up to today. I spent a few hours today searching and downloading Photoshop brushes and did up this! Am mightly proud of myself even though it’s really a simple card. At least finally I did something personalized for the wedding. Since not many people will be invited to the solemnization, I thought I’ll just share these here. For those friends who have been invited, let me know if you are keen to attend the solemnization too! I’ll swear it’ll be interesting cos I’ll be turning up in a different gown. I do feel like it’s turning into a fashion show parade,…

  • Loving my Friday!

    Yesterday was a lovely day, work aside, I was quite chirpy the whole day! I think it was because the weekend was near… Me on the escalator at the train station, heading to work. Loving my bottega heels! Passing through the gravel land, feeling every inch of pain as the bottega battle with the stones. Finally in the lift! I met up with Andy for dinner and had a nice time catching up. It was a quick dinner as I was late from having to clear ads (it’s Friday and that’s just a telco marcommer’s life). I left the office only at 9+.. My seafood marinara at Mr. Bean which…

  • Another goodbye.

    Another colleague left today. There’s not much people left in the team! And there are loads of vacancies waiting to be filled. Serene and i had farewell lunch yesterday with Karina at claypotfun @ east coast park! Am usually not a claypot person but I guess the focus is on her, not me. Must say the service is not too bad as when we were there, there weren’t any indoor seats left and we were asked to wait at the tables outside. Our order was promptly taken and we were served complimentary cold barley drinks. And at the first available table, the servers didn’t forget us and had us moved…

  • New skin

    Der bought me a new iPhone casing couple of days ago and I finally took it out to use last night. It’s too pretty and the hesitation was because my old casing still had loads of life in it. Totally love the message on the casing that says – don’t worry, peace will come! I sure need the encouragement and reminder and the cheery looking colors. Cheers me up every other moment when my eyes catch sight of it. the weather’s too cold today! The rain is splashing down from the skies. But still, it’s a happy day cos it’s Friday!!!! Are you smelling the weekend air like I am?…

  • Feeling loved today!

    Feeling really loved today! I woke up real early and was out of the house before 7am! On the way to airport to fetch der, who is coming back from Milano! I had a long wait in the airport, because one of his luggage was missing in action and by the time he found it and finished paying the taxes, it was 10 mins to 9am and I had to rush to work. Totally wrecked my plans of a leisure breakfast to catch up on the lost week. I still managed a quick breakfast at the airport, updated him on the happenings and the to-dos for today in between mouthfuls…

  • Miss the good old times.

    Had quite a lot to drink today, but surprisingly super sober and had enjoyed myself very much in months. Had a meet up with steve and Jen, which was long overdue and we sat at a quiet bistro @ changi with good food, great companion, beers and waves splashing softly in a distant and planes flying over us every 10-15 mins. It was a lovely place, and an even lovelier experience. We chatted about the good old memories in ph, the trips that we used to take, those retreats and the funny moments. And how we used to do things against the law, how we squeezed in food and shopping…
