My personal favourite would be the Black Basic Skirt from their Self Manufactured Basics Collection. It is basically a simple black hi-lo skirt, yet the most versatile item you can ever find. You can pair it with a tank top, t-shirt, tube top. Anything just goes ! Furthermore, the material is wrinkle-free and nobody ever goes wrong with black ! So here's featuring yours truly, pairing the Black Basic Skirt with a studded top.

24th Birthday Part 1

Birthdays, to me, no doubt it's just another day where I turn a year older and all but one thing I really like about birthdays is that I get to spend time with my family, loved ones and close friends.

This year, the boyfriend brought me to The Retreat Spa, knowing that my new job has taken a major toll on me lately. It was meant to be a surprise but somehow I found out about it like one week ago so it's not so much of a surprise anymore. But nonetheless, I still feel very loved and thankful.

After the whole treatment

After the whole massage/spa treatment, I was brought to have dinner and to my surprise, both our parents were there ! Knowing that I am very much of a family person and how much I wanted to spend my actual birthday with my parents, the boyfriend secretly liaised with my parents and even arranged for his parents to come along, making the whole dinner a very homely one.

Adidas adiPure 360

I was just checking out my wound from the operation about 1.5 months back and I am really surprised that it has been healing fast and well ! The stitching is melting off and there are no bumps or scarring except for some slight discoloration which frankly speaking, I am not so concern of.

If you had been following me since my operation days, you would remember that I was told by the doctor not to workout for at least half a year and to my horror, I have piling weight really quickly and I have gained back all the weight that I had previously lost prior to the operation. I personally feel that it is definitely time for me to go back on track since the wound is kinda healed and all and I am sure that all of you would agree with me that after resting for a while, it takes a really huge motivation to get your butt moving again.

But thankfully for my case, I managed to catch my motivation rather quickly because lately, SOMEBODY commented right in my face that I am getting meatier and fatter so of course I have to start burning those fats right ?! Come to think of it, what is a workout without a good pair of shoes ? Fear not, Adidas' here to save your and also my day.

Born light. Born flexible. Born to React.
Just by reading the tagline, you know it's damn awesome already.

Furthermore, check out how flexible it can go !!


And the best thing of all ? It comes in lotsa pretty colours !!

My personal favourite has got to be pink or purple. I have never been the kinda girl that fancy anything pink or girlish but I had to admit that I have a secret liking for bright colours as of late.

To advert or not to advert ?

I have received requests in the past to post advertorials for blogshops but due to conflict of interests, I had to reject them but now that I have officially ceased operation for MissFayne, I am thinking of opening up the blog for advertorials again. I am also thinking of allocating spaces by the side column for banner placement and such.

Wise words

Found this quote over at Meiting's and I can't help but admit that it's exactly how I have been feeling for the past few weeks.

sometimes. just sometimes,
I wish I can cry out all my frustrations, sadness, worries
& someone out there will be there to give me a tight hug,
telling me that they will take care of everything and it will all be fine.

I need a break.
because I have a feeling it will be not long before I collapse from the weight on my shoulders.

I almost never show it,
but what goes on in my head is a huge mess of uncertainty.

Wise Words

Came across this while blog hopping and I find it pretty meaningful so I thought I might share it with you guys.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

- Mother Teresa

A step into a whole new world

My apologies for the lack of entries. Been a wee bit busy and the reason is that I have embarked on a NEW JOB !

It's actually something fairly different from what I used to do, an area that I've been wanting to explore but never expected myself to land into. Everything's been good so far, I have been doing a lot of hands on and learning on the go and it actually feels pretty awesome to be back to this big family and hopefully everything goes well from here onwards.

Hermès The Gift of Time

This August, Hermès celebrates The Gift of Time - A precious ingredient in the creation of an Hermès object. Designed by Hilton McConnico, this travelling art installation encourages visitors to explore the notion of time in its various forms. Debuted in HongKong West Kowloon in June, followed by Singapore in August and it will continue in France Lille thereafter.

I came to know of this exhibition only today, which is the last day of the exhibition. Gotta count myself lucky. And so, B drove us down to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, where The Gift of Time exhibition was held.

We begun our time journey at the origin of time, represented by a sun dial moving in an anti-clockwise direction. The horses by the side of the sun dial symbolises Hermès first ever customer - for there wouldn't be Hermès without horses.

Room number 1 - Origin of time


Room number 2 - Free time

   
 
Room number 3 - Time suspended

 
 
Room number 4 - Time balance

 
 
Room number 5 - Stroke of time

 
 
Room number 6 - Imaginary time

 
 
 

With that, I end my entry with a momento from Hermès .

Event : Dove + Weekend update

SPONSORED EVENT

My weekend has been eventful and amazing. Remember I mentioned that I was sponsored a full range of hair products from Dove ? Last Saturday, Dove, together with Nuffnang, lovingly arranged a private luncheon at Fullhouse, where I shared my hairfall story and also my thoughts on their latest range of products.

It was my second visit to Fullhouse and as it was a private event, I get to explore many other parts of the cafe which I didn't get to on my first visit. Fullhouse was already a very pretty place to begin with and it was further decorated with pretty pastel flowers, making the whole place look as if it is part of a wedding hall.

Anyway, I had a splendid afternoon with the selected Dove girls, chatting over tea, doing our hair and pampering ourselves with a series of awesome head and shoulder massages.

The event ended on the dot and B came to pick me up for a mini gathering with session with Angela and Waileng for some babylucas lovin' In case you're wondering, Angela and Waileng were B's poly schoolmates whom I amazingly got close to through these years.

Sunday morning was Canton Paradise with B, Xavchan and Angel. We went to the SengKang outlet and we were lucky enough to have gotten number 8 ! Bill add up to almost SGD80 for 4 so I personally think that it's decent enough for something of that standard. Didn't really take much photos at Canton Paradise cause we were all busy eating so here's some photos I ripped off the internet.

   

Thereafter, we went prawning at Punggol where we caught just enough prawns for prawn pasta later in the evening.

HONG KONG DIARY I #5

In the blink of an eye, it is Day 5 already ! As it was our last day in HongKong, we woke up exceptionally early and went to queue for Tim Ho Wan. Everyone has been raving about this michelin 1 star dimsum house.

The shop opens at 10am and because we I didn't want to waste the remaining of our HongKong time queuing, we reached the shop at 830am, hoping to be the first 20 to be seated in the first seating. Fortunately, as it was pouring, not alot of people were queuing and we were actually the second in the queue.
