Welcome to my blog !

Hey guys !

Created this space years and years ago thus do forgive
me if it comes off as extremely cheesy. And the incredibly
tacky name. Haha, I get chills everytime I lay eyes on it.
Too lazy to change things though !

I love to write, so have kept myself updating over the years.
I hope you guys enjoy reading me ! ♥

    The dress below is definitely my favourite this time round ! It's Topshop inspired if you guys can recognize it, except without the keyhole at the bust. It's extremely sweeeeet and made of high quality spandex/rayon material.

    Happy birthday to you.

    Thursday, June 23, 2011
    9:03 PM

    So this year we celebrated the boy's birthday a little earlier cause the actual day falls on a camp day.

    I would have liked to celebrate the occasion (it's his 21st) with a bang, but he wanted a simple one. He also specifically requested very simple presents cause he feels like he doesn't really need anything when he's in camp all the time, and botak ! Haha.

    So grown up eh? He's like the exact opposite of me sometimes. Awwww.

    A couple of months ago, I would have snorted if you told me he's the more mature one between the two of us but lately, I'm realizing that's kindof the case. Believe me, if it were my 21st, I would never ask for a simple gift. He he he.

    His family whipped up a steamboat for him on the day of his book out and starving as we were (we were all hungry like mad, i could tell from everyone's faces), nobody touched the food until he stepped through the door !!

    Ahem, I had a spoonful of soup though, couldn't help myself. Plus I had to do it secretly. Zoom, slurp, all in a swift motion.

    He probably rushed like mad but only got home close to 11pm.

    Anyhow, it was a really nice dinner, and I also realized that I really heart having dinner with his family. Don't think I've had such a dinner like that in ages.


    Photobucket


    After dinner, kicked back and satisfied. I couldn't resist this little birdy when I went to get his wrapper ! Cute max right !


    Photobucket


    And this is what gave me my backache theother day. Eh eh eh, Seems simple but took me three looong hours okay ! Hahaha. Had alot of fun completing it though. It's 3D ! Don't playplay.

    I had the day planned for him, to be ended with a simple birthday dinner.


    Photobucket

    We both woke up late (or i woke up late as always), and had to hurry to town.

    My hair's even still wet in the photo.

    Decided to have a quick bite in Din Tai Feng before we went about our day's activities. Didn't want to gorge ourselves, had to leave room for the night !

    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    When I saw this, I immediately went, "OMG why so small huh???".

    And he was all "Lol, $3 plus what you expect".

    But seriously, this is bite sized. Bite sized toufu, I could pick up the whole thing and place it in my mouth and it'll be gone in 3 seconds.


    Photobucket


    Can never have enough Xiaolongbaos, though, we do prefer Crytal Jade's. And that's the steam condensing on my lens.


    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    Doo doooo dooo doooo. And that's it for our lunch.

    On a sidenote, he seemed to really like carrying my new bag that day. Perhaps cause it's not too girlish?

    Sometimes, I insist on carrying on my own bag. But then again, he'll insist otherwise and I'm always tempted. Having boyfriends' carrying our totes about kindof takes away a little bit of their masculinity doesn't it?

    And it's dinner time ! I was really excited about dinner, but in the end, both of us ended up making fun of the entire process. He said he felt like he was drinking blood for the entire dinner.

    At about 9pm, which was the earliest reservation I could manage the day before, we headed to Brazil on 6th Avenue.

    I was 15? the first I ever went to that place with Elaine and her family. Lol ! I loved it then ! but somehow, this time was.... hmmmmmm....


    Photobucket


    Still loving their cheesy pastry thingy though. Yumyum.


    Photobucket


    We gave up pretty quickly.

    All that meat was pretty overwhelming and I didn't manage to eat much either.

    He took lots of salad and said that the meat was bringing his cholesterol up so he needed some greens to bring it down. Lol.


    Photobucket


    Me thinks this photo supper funny and gross at the same time. Hahahaha.

    Meathead.


    Photobucket


    I did the cake but I don't dare even show you guys a close up of it !!

    He was the one who gave himself the blue teeth huh, not me.

    Hahahahaha ! Don't look ! The design is quite ehhhhh... but he finished the whole thing the following day all by himself ! All I had was a few bites.


    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    Photobucket


    And presents !

    He opened the first box and it was actually just a Casio for him to put on in camp and he simply peeled a piece of the wrapper, saw the blue bit of cardboard box beneath and sat it aside before quickly trying to unwrap theother.

    Lol !

    I protested and he explained that he already knew what that one was.

    Eh ! How can like that. Discriminate and neglect my Casio. Tsktsktsk.


    Photobucket


    Still, I really hope you like your presents and enjoyed you 21st. (:(:

    And over here, I'd like to relate something that took place theother day. Okay, just to warn you, it's a really long story and may be irrelevant but whatever, I want to share it.

    I was sleeping and it felt like I was having a bad dream the entire night.

    I dreamt Ruizhang was actually a jerk of a boyfriend and we were fighting the entire time. Then of course, I cried after fighting and was really mad but all he did was pretend like he didn't see and went about doing his things all the time blatantly ignoring me and my dramatic display of woe.The drama is besides the point as he was really acting like a jerk in the dream.

    During which, I did not feel like this was unlike him at all cause it felt soooooo realistic. I couldn't really understand why I was feeling so miserable and mistreated, as, to my understanding, most boys act this way when they get into fights with girls ! Or, I may be wrong, but come on.

    Anyway, that is also besides the point. The point is, I was deeply upset and had thrown myself onto the bed sobbing my heart out when I suddenly woke up with a start.

    The dream was so real, and you know how sometimes you dream of getting a million bucks or that new Macbook pro but when you wake up, it very very slowly dawns on you that these things are not anywhere on the bed and you feel really empty? Well, this was kind of the oppposite of that sort of dreams.

    I woke up, and even reach up and was surprised to find no tears. I was still feeling really mad and upset at that point of time, as mad and upset as you would feel when your boyfriend merrily ignores you completely after being mean to you and when you're sobbing nonstop.

    I looked around for him and was ready to pummel him for being a jerk in my dream.

    Coincidentally, he saw me opening my eyes and got down the couch to sit next to me (I rarely get up before him).

    And he had just showered and was very cold, for it was a pretty cold morning. The coolness was soo comforting and, he told me to sleep a little while longer as it was still pretty early (in my terms, it was probably already close to noon then) and that he would sit next to me until then. In that moment, I couldn't believe my luck when I felt the contrast between him and that horrible guy from my dreams.

    Hmmmm. I do not exactly understand why I'm saying this, he's probably gonna feel pretty embarrassed with me recollecting this incident, but. I guess it was only at that moment when I felt like the luckiest girl, and that all is alright in the world. Don't be mistaken, I feel like that often enough but then again, at lots of times, I'm also a pretty self-entitled person.

    Well, I guess that's about it, my very sappy recollection which I doubt I described very well but.

    My point is. I think you're probably the nicest and most wonderful person I've ever met or will ever come to meet.

    Lol ! It's kind of gross but yeah. I think that's it.

    I think that the dream was trying to let me know exactly how happy and fortunate I should feel in my waking moments.

    Of course in the end, I complained about what I had dreamt and pummeled him anyway.

    :D

    Thank you for being here and allowing me the good fortune of celebrating the occasion with you.

    Happy 21st birthday baby !

    Week in a nutshell.

    Wednesday, June 22, 2011
    1:13 AM

    First of all, I won't make you guys who are here to look at the preview go through reading my neverending drones.

    Yes, kind is my middle name. Haha ! No la, I'm just ps.

    So, here's a little sneak of tomorrow's collection !

    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    There'll be more, so do check back Wednesday, 8pm !

    Haven't updated the status' of last collection, but most of the stuff are sold out. However, you can always email wonderlustworld@gmail.com and I can always order them for you ! It'll only take a few days for me to collect the restocks for you ! (:


    . . . . . . . .

    Okay, so here starts my post.

    Some days in a week, I'm rushing so much I can't even seem to catch my breath.

    If there's one thing I'll never understand about myself, it would be why am I always ALWAYS putting myself in the awful predicament of having to rush.

    I go absolutely nuts when I'm in a horrible rush, and you know what always has to happen when you're in a rush.

    You can't find things.

    And when I can't find things, instead of absolutely nuts, I go apeshcrazy.

    Seriously !

    I'll throw things around (which really doesn't help when my room is already in a horrible mess), and make myself madder and crazier.

    Ah.

    Though things often work out in the end, I've really gotta get more organized and stop slacking till the last minute before scurrying around like a mad woman.

    Anyhoooo.

    After a long day at the studio where my back feels like it's about to break from the heels, I present to you my oily face.

    Was about to take a shower but decided to get a little (or alot) vain before washing the dirt and grime off.

    The below 2 photos were taken from another day. Don't waste ma, just put up lo. Lol ! What I can't understand is those photos below were take in the daytime but my curtains are always closed so why is it that nighttime photos with my webcam's much more grainy??

    Hmmmm... food for thought.

    I always feel like I've got a ton of makeup on my face for shoots but somehow, the studio photos always turn out really pale and as if I haven't got any makeup on.

    I don't usually put on eyeliner cause I feel like my lashes won't be seen and my double eyelids sort of disappear into the blackness and my eyes end up smaller.

    Guess I'm just not suited for it but I looove looking at girls with eyeliner on. Hahaha. Sounds so wrong. Especially those who draws a little hook at the end. Tres cute.

    Think I'm gonna go get myself a redred lipstick in hopes that the pictures pop.

    Eh ya. Abrupt stop.

    I think that's about it for today too. Gotta go put together the gazillion photos that's slowing my computer down.

    Wanted to say more, I was very inspired to write in the past few days but was always distracted by something else.

    Will blog in 2 more days on something joyous. Yipeeyaiyaiyipeeyipeeyai.

    Lol.

    Have a great night darling people.

    I've got nothing, NOTHING left to do tonight, but I'm still not sleeping.

    My back aches from all the hard work in the day (heehee, shall show you guys the end result of that soon), I'm absolutely beat, but still ! I'm not sleeping.

    Am simply... surfing the net aimlessly. Odd random thoughts wander through my mind on nights like this.

    Why am I even STILL scrolling down this blasted Facebook?

    Do I REALLY need to know what's going on with some of these people I barely know?

    Eh. How much time do I actually spend on this Facebook? Should I just go ahead and delete this silly charade?

    Why is there nothing for me to buuuuyyyyyyy???

    Lol.

    The thing is. I'm lazy to do alot of things. In the mornings, I'm lazy to drag myself out of bed. So, I lie in.

    And on nights like this, it really isn't that I enjoy staying up.

    The truth is, I think. I'm too lazy to drag myself to bed and to begin to TRY to sleep.

    Yup. That must be it.

    EH EH EH.

    I know for a fact that most of you are just like me okay?

    Ah. And that's a thoughtful ah. Not the sometimes silly sound we make from when we get a fright.

    The youth of today.

    Well. I'd better go before I drone on and on about endless nothings.

    Oh oh !!

    On a more sane and normal note.

    I can't wait for this weeeeeekend !

    Hehehehehehe.

    Yipeedoooo !

    Will update the next week with hopefully will be nice pictures and will promise to sound more coherent.

    You know us smart people. Always jumping from one thought to the next.

    Aha. And that's an amused aha.

    Lol ! And please. Don't take me seriously tonight. I'm referring to the lazy part. I'm actually really hardworking in alot of aspects. Hahahaha ! If you believe me.

    Goodnight darlings ! (:

    This pleated skirt's Zara inspired, and looks so much like the original piece. The quality is insane too, thick, and the pleats never seem to budge. Great for so many places.

    Still sick but was superrrr tempted to order McDelivery.

    And you know temptations.

    All it seemed like I could have was a double cheeseburger plain.

    Burger $2.00. Delivery $3.50.

    Epitome of laziness.
