My favourite sunglasses
Tuesday, May 1, 2012 | 0 comment(s)
Anything you can put on your body to beautify yourself is every girl's favourite!
It will be weird if a girl don't like accessories. Even if you are not girly, you will at least put on a nice leather watch and maybe a simple earring or necklace. Well, for me I love accessories but I toned down a lot from my exaggerating ding-dang-dongsss on my arms. I used to have like bangles stacking themselves on my arms and rings after rings on every finger. But I guess ever since I played touch rugby, the hassle to remove all that stuff before training and putting it back after I shower in school has got me a little lazier to put them on and every time I dress up in the morning, I will think twice about wearing an extra bangle or necklace. Knowing I have to remove them for safe keeping. Haha!
But I still use them now every now and then. And one of my favourite other than bangles and earrings/necklaces are sunglasses! :D Well, you can never go wrong buying them especially when you are in sunny hot hot SINGAPORE! And as we get older (girls!), no we do not age like wine so we really need to take care of our skin. (It's so weird coming from me)
I promised this entry about my favourite sunglasses from my workplace (: You may have the same sentiments too!
First of all, MY ESSENTIAL FAVOURITE (which I actually reserved and about to buy it)
Ray bans aviators - everyone has this
I know, I don't have this. Kinda slow in trend but I just couldn't find the right one that can match me!
Love the gold rims and gold reflective mirror lenses
2nd favourite in my list that I HAVE to always try them on whenever I work, despite the 100 times I already tried the same pair....
THEIRRY LASRY!
If you are into fashion, you will know about this brand. But if not, don't worry. You will fall in love with the glasses without even knowing them! Love at first sight!
One of my top favourite from the collection
And the very popular tortoise shell.
The all-time favourite oldies that your grandpa might have...
The frogskins! I love the outstanding colours! It's neon and so bright!
And the very popular sportsman oakleys
I wanna get this for Wilson, he looks so good in it!
All the team USA and striking colours
The very futuristic NOOKA
Very unique Karen Walkers, I love the quality of these handmade sunglasses
Le specs
SO PRETTY!!!
And ending off with the exclusive Juliets
Those are my particular few favourites and some of them are just shared because they are common favourites, like the oakleys! Sorry if the photos aren't very professional or very sharp because credits to the photographer ME (; I went around snapping photos with my digital camera when nobody was in the shop.
What are your favourite kind of sunglasses? Are they exactly the same as what I posted? (:
A girl can never go wrong with any accessories on them!
Haji Lane cat!
So if you are wondering where you can find those sunglasses that I have posted online, here are the information.
Have a good week ahead!

GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT

If you ever followed my blog, or pop by once… or twice…. or thrice….
I wrote an entry about how to be a gracious commuter on public transport and make it a better ride for everyone. It was dated on 16th March, more than a month ago. It is my passion to write and I thought, hey it wouldn’t kill to join this contest to write up an entry like that.
I don’t think highly of my blog. Like I’m not any superstar blogger like those blogger I admire - Xiaxue for example. (Don’t judge me!) She’s really good and ++ she love pink too! Ok, so I don’t think highly of my writing and it’s really passion that I enjoy writing and I can write foreverrrrrrrr…….. So after I wrote that entry for LTA, which is hosted by Nuffnang, I told Wilson, “Wow…. If only I can win the first prize….. $1200…. That’s like almost a month’s salary! And winning for my passion for writing, no sweat somemore. DAMN worth it. But if I win Merit $100, also shiok already!”
That’s what I told Wilson. With little hopes then.
But as days and weeks past, whenever I see the LTA posters in public transport, I felt alittle sad, cos’ I got no reply on whether I won anything at all so I thought they didn’t pick me.
BUT JUST YESTERDAY……… :D:D:D:D
Ok my reaction was abit slow cos’ I was intensely studying for Business Stats so while reading this email on my phone, what only made me read it was cos’ it was from Nuffnang and I saw “Congratulations” but the bolded words didn’t occur to me at all! Until my friend xy asked me if it’s first prize. HAHAHA Then I went to see.
OH MY GOODNESS. I MUST BE DREAMING! I GOT TOP ENTRY! :D:D:D
I went to double confirm, JUST INCASE it’s false hope.
It’s on the Nuffnang website! That’s me! Hahaha first time seeing my blog URL somewhere. Hehe I’m so honored and thankful! Thank you, Nuffnang!
I had to immediately call my momma and text Wilson in Taiwan to tell them this surprise! Well, sorry I know I act as if I won $1 million but this IS alot of money to me already + I won it with my own efforts (: I’m so happy.
If you would like to read the entry that won me this prize, you can click here.
Thank you to all my readers (if I have any!) for reading my blog. Although it might be all rants sometimes or just nonsense. Haha. Just so you know, it’s the genuine me. I like to talk a lot… in words.
Next entry, my favourite sunglasses! – Sorry, I know I owe that since Sunday but the books got into me…. It’s too hard to juggle time now. By this weekend! Promise!

8TH MAY HURRY COME
Monday, April 23, 2012 | 0 comment(s)
I just cut my hair yesterday and did treatment. It's not much of a difference in the photo but my head feels so much lighter and my hair is SO smooth like baby's hair! But I only hate tying my hair now cos' it's not as thick and nice as it looks in a ponytail compared to last time. Need to wait for the bush to grow!
Countdown to my exams: 2 DAYS
I'm having mixed feeling about it. Not motivated but yet, don't wanna drown in the pool of my big fat ego if I don't do well. Honestly, it isn't looking good this week. Facing the biggest giants of my semester, the numbers paper. It has been countless of days mugging, mugging mugging. I have two good reasons for 8th May to come.
#1. NO MORE EXAMS
I can watch youtube, use facebook and watch teevee without feeling GUILTY. I can lie in bed and play my iPad without feeling GUILTY. I can go out shopping, meet friends or whoever for dinner without feeling GUILTY. Actually, me cooping myself at home with the books is just so I won't feel guilty and won't blame myself if I didn't do well - Cos I tried. And I really did!
#2. WILSON IS COMING BACK SOON
Okay I make it sound like damn soon, but actually I got 2 and a half more weeks to go. Only one week passed and it feels horribly long already. I just got a phone call from him this afternoon (: He just reached Taiwan this morning. I hope he have fun tonight with the good food and the bubble tea! Wished he could bring back some good bbt for me hehe authentic bbt, yums. Ok, so when 8th May comes, it means there is only 2 more days till he is back! :D But he has to sail for another week after he is back for a day. But nvm. The wait is over! At least between the 8th till he comes back, I can do whatever I want - eat, shop, go out, laze at home AND PLAY FREAKING LAN GAMES. HAHAHA. I'm quite an addict to battleship - not the movie (I haven't watch it yet) but the World of Warcraft game It used to be our weekly Friday late night activity till 5am but it's on hold now, due to exams. Excited!!!
#3. I can start planning for a travel trip again!
I will be going for a holiday in June but not sure where so when 8TH May comes, I can start planning for a good trip and get really excited over it :D Damn. Now I'm already excited. Wanted to go Hong Kong cos' it has to be our annual trip every year but W only prefers it during its winter ): Means no summer shopping for me.... But I might consider Australia or Bangkok or..... I don't know. Anywhere! 8TH MAY JUST COME AND I'LL BE SO HAPPY HAHA.
OK now that I've listed all the reasons to be excited for, I should be more motivated to study better now. Bye for now! I realized I only talk a lot on my blog, but I have been speaking very little words these few days ): Haha well, I used to only talk to Wilson like every night, vomitting 20,000 words to him and he seems like the only one I can actually really talk to without feeling judged and who really understands me. At least I got time to blog now and it can contain all my opinions (: Either ways, I'm happy.
Have a great week ahead, and lucks to everyone having their exams too!

My sincere apologies for my rare weekly blog. I used to have so much time to write last time and I could do up to 2 - 3 entries a day but now it's my study break and I have been so busy with the books, I hardly even touched my computer. (Unbelievable but true!)
I'm so tired trying to understand Management Accounting so I'm gonna stop for today and continue tomorrow. I'm gonna cover a month ago (outdated) post I promised. Remember I mentioned I found a new job at DH Sunglass, Haji Lane and we just had an official opening? Yeah! Calling for all sunglasses lovers! That's what I'm gonna show you guys today. Photos and moreeee sunglasses.

My friend, Clarissa introduced me this wonderful job. Haha. Honestly, I wouldn't have found such a job with perfect working hours if not for her so I'm really thankful (:
It is a pretty well-established shop actually. Before they moved to the current unit at 69 Haji Lane, they used to be located at a small unit at the second level of a shop house. People who actually does research on the sunglasses would be able to find them especially just to get their sunglasses. If not, you could have stumble across their signs towards their stairway. But now, it has a perfect nice spot. Big and spacious, therefore taking in more brands too!
Are you a sunglass fanatic? Do you like brands like Ray-Ban, Oakley, SUPER? Well, you ought to drop by the shop. We bring in Ray-Ban, Oakley, SUPERretrofuture, Karen Walker, Nooka, Carrera, Le Specs, Thierry Lasry, Henry Holland... etc. And what's the better deal is DH's sunglasses are authentic and cheaper than retail stores.
The official opening was held on 25th March 2012. I was the newest part-time staff there cos' I only worked once before the opening. Honestly, I may love accessories but I didn't really keep up with like fashion magazines. The most I would do is look through polyvores online but other than that, I'm a pretty boring person. Ha. I do own a few sunglasses. Well, if you count those cheap funky SUPER lookalike glasses, I have PLENTY!!! Hahaha. And not forgetting those I used to buy at Bugis street... Phuket... I got 2 main sunglasses I love so much now.
The older one, Carrera I bought from Phuket. The shape suits my face shape and my personality. It gives a very laid-back feel. Totally me (;
And 2nd pair of sunglasses I love... It's the newest one and this is authentic.
The box and casing was... OOOSSHHhhh. Seriously, where can you find such a nice casing?! And it's all cushion and furry inside!
Nice right?! I like the sides in particular. Sorry I don't have photo of it but the sides are very glamourous and outstanding, that's why I like it (:
Actually I do have another favourite sunglasses from Gucci but sadly, it cannot be found now. Well, we did find one pair at Bali Airport and I got really sad when I didn't get it but I realized its fine, cos' Wilson did try to surprise me and buy that pair but it had defects and it was the only pair left. Fate! I'm satisfied with what I have (:
Alright, back to the main story. DH Sunglass official opening was fun and nice! I got to meet everyone in the shop whom I have never met before. Besides my rugby friends, Clare and shi, I haven't met half of them and they are actually all very friendly and nice people. Haha. My boss is nice and young and actually very easy to talk to!
These were the specially designed cupcakes for the guests! Icing aren't my favourite but the flavours inside were delicious!
Shop Front
Pretty flowers + The yummy catered food from 4 Seasons (Si Ying and I chose the food hehe)
Le specs collection ; They are relatively the lowest priced sunglasses in the shop ranging from $50 - 120!
