Friends!

Hi Friends! I'm back after a long hiatus! As usual, I was too busy with work that I couldnt find time to blog about my fabulous life out there. I'm really glad that despite the heavy load of work, I could still find some time to do chill-out session with my bestie on the week after last friday.

A wine to perk the lovely evening

I'm glad that I have a friend like you.. lala! (Ah... I feel fat here!)




In the past, I've always thought that friends are not an important asset as long as I have a great boyfriend. However, I have just realise that it is so wrong to have such mentality. Friends are equally important as a boyfriend. After entering into the working society, I realised that there are times that I just need to bottoms up my happiness/unhappiness which happened at work. I couldn't date my bf out at times as he had to mug hard for his exams/test bla bla bla... or maybe I just feel wierd to just date my bf out, order 2 glasses of wine, pour out my stories, listen to the band playing and head home for a sleep after that. I COULD JUST DO IT AT HOME AT A MUCH LOWER COST! It's so different doing it with a group of friends or maybe just one! (FYI: Baby, I'm not saying that you're lousy.. you're still the best!) I'm sure many gfs of my would totally agree with my saying! There are just some time that you just need to have a gf to shop/eat/drink with you. So, I'm glad that I have a lovely gf who is willing to spend money with me to drink, eat, shop and even head to the saloon with me! *hugs Lala*

On the following Monday, I had to go for a wisdom tooth extraction. It wasn't necessary for that extraction and so I was contemplating. Upon reaching the dental clinic, I was still having second thoughts. I discussed with the dentist and she thinks that if I would not want any unnecessary pain in the future, then I should plucked the wisdom away! I don't know what courage got into me, that I agreed and there comes the injections! It wasn't as bad as what I thought it would be! The pain was endurable and I did not even know that the tooth was extracted at all! It was overall a good experience. The extraction was fully claimable by medisave! It was sort-of free and what's best... I had 5 days MC!

It was quite boring to be at home somehow! Tv shows were not as exciting and all my friends were WORKING! All I could do was to catch some online HK drama.

Time pass like a speed of a bullet train, before I knew it, it was already Friday! My wound got better and I decided to carry on with the meet up session with the uni project mates. I guess it was cause of my desire to head out of the house that I took more than usual to get myself ready.


I am a weatherman when it comes to make up. It depends on my mood. If I'm HAPPY and EXCITED.. I will apply great stuff on my face.. if not.. I will simply just put on my black eyeshadow and shade my brows. On Friday itself, I applied on this really fantastic BB cream from Nature Republic.

priced at $29.90 in Singapore

Thanks to my sis who had gotten it free from her boss. I didnt quite believe my sister at first when she told me that most koreans uses this in Korea cause she's not as make-up savvy as compared to me( come on.. she don't have that much free time to read up on beauty tips at all!). So, when I ran out of foundation before flying off to Taiwan the other time, I had no choice but to try out on the BB cream. To my HOLY SURPRISE... it seriously does wonders to my face.

See how it shines! I simply love how my face shines here!(despite that damn pimple)

It's really so good that I had gotten Jace babe to get 1 tube for me when she's at korea (hope she remembers!) else I will have to get it in Singapore at $29.90!


Back to the topic (got to rush a little.. Daddy is chasing me to get ready for Robinson Expo sale!)

We (Uni friends and I) went over to Holland V after dinner at Waraku. There was some special promo at Tango! It was a pity that I couldnt drink that night since I was on pills for my extraction! Adam was trying his best to influence me but well.. life was rather impt to me than a glass of HOEGARDEN!



angie and I!

Prince You Xiang

Adam who loves to drink!

Jason

Boyfriend came to join us to pick me up. I'm happy that he's enjoying the conversation with my friends too! :)

My Saturday Loots

It's finally a Saturday that I can set my foot in Town area for a shopping spree. Town was rather pack with people for its crazy Shoes & Handbag sale held at the Taka Atrium. Nine West shoes are going at a rather low price but what a pity that my foot was too princessy that I just couldn't FIT INTO THE RIGHT PAIR of heels. I was *THAT* close in getting a heels that are a size smaller for my left feet. The pair of shoe was really very pretty but with a feet that is smaller than the others, it was just too impossible to get it.

Clothes in town doesn't really suit my likings. I would rather get it in Blogshops than those seen in Far East Plaza Shops. Most clothes seen in FEP are sold everywhere in BLOGSHOP as well. I even saw a piece of jacket which cost TWICE THE AMOUNT of what I had paid for for the exact SAME piece in OHVOLA.com.

With that, I actually spend a good lump sum of money on COSMETIC products instead (which made me SO HAPPY as if I had strike a lottery.) So what have I bought???

First on the list...


MAC - PRIMER ($39)
I have always wanted to get a good primer since Bubz Beauty & Michelle Phan have always mentioned it in their makeup tutorials. They have always raved about how useful a primer is when you want a set of toned & shiny make-up. Knowing that a primer is essential, I was excited in getting one BUT yet quite reluctant to spend too much on a primer as I'm not quite sure on how it should be used. I shopped almost everywhere for a good and affordable Primer until I got to know that over at MAC, it is selling at an affordable price which looks very promising to me. I've actually wanted to get a Sephora Primer which cost only $20 but MAC had actually won me over with its glittery and shiny effect. I'm amazed on how fast it evaporates after application. It turns from Creamy to liquid to GEL.. and from WHITE to TRANSPARENT! It's definitely a good buy for a good make up I think!

2)
MAC - Eye Concealer ($28)
I've actually wanted a Shu Umera eye concealer instead (Thanks to Bubzbeauty again!) but spending $50+ on a small tube of concealer doesn't really seems appealing to me. In one of my girly session with my best friend (Lavrina aka LALA), she mentioned that MAC do also sells good concealer and it is much cheaper compared to Shu. During my lunch time, I made a trip down to Mac to check out on their eye concealer and to my very big surprise, it cost only $28! I didn't manage to get it then cause I was late for work. So today while shopping, I went down to MAC again to have a good look at it again. After my enquiries on the coverage, the sales assistant applied some eye concealer on me to try out the colours which best suits me and I was so happy with the result. MY boyfriend who seldom compliment on my makeup even praise that the concealer made my eye bag disappeared and it so smooth that it seems as if I have used a miracle water from SK2 *-_-*! Because of his 'COMPLIMENTS', I made a purchase on the eye concealer as well.

3.

(Fifimistica's Set)
My HAPPIEST LOOT of the day: SEPHORA - Mother's day special Make up kit ($59.90)
This was the best cosmetic set I had bought in 24 yrs of my life. I had read about it in this month Cleo Magazine and was so excited to lay my hands on it.  50 eye shadow + 10 lip colours + 5 blusher for just $60 is just SO WORTH IT! I was initially very disappointed when I went down to Sephora 2 weeks ago to get it but was told by their sales assistant that it was OUT OF STOCK! I was in fact so PISSED that I told them off that they should not advertised it then if it was out of stock! Today, while shopping for cosmetics in Sephora, I was so GLAD to SEE it again in SEPHORA! Then I realised that the Sales Assistant might have
mistook it for other products and wasn't sure that Sephora is launching this limited edition make up kit.
Yes, it is LIMITED EDITION because there's only 60 sets in each Sephora outlet to be sold. Taka have only a set LEFT and I'm so so glad that I'm one of the lucky few to get a set for my.... MUM too ( yea.. I will share with her too!!)! I wanted this set so much that I nearly bought it online when I thought it was OOS! Getting this set had totally MADE my day so much better!!

I'm really happy with my purchased today. I shall end this post for now as I'm getting really sleeping. I shall sleep with a smile throughout the night with all these loots. :)
