Come as you are. As i want you to be.
this is 2013 in retrospect. Awesome stuff happens in 2013 without me realising it.
I don’t really keep track of everything i’ve done in 2013 but these are the things that stood out to me.
The Card Maison made it’s first debut at the Wedding Expo in 2013.
It was an awesome experience. Tired but very rewarding.
What Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian for X’mas.
I don’t care if it’s a customised Birkin, which probably set him back more than $25,000.
But that picture is just so…. trashy.
No other words to say it.
If i ever receive it, i’ll probably just put it up as a display of art at my wardrobe and not bring it out.
Cos it’s just too vulgar. Lol
The X’Mas sales Season is finally over! I’m hoping there is no more crowd at the mall.
I’m bringing the god-children for ice-cream at Swensens today! Miss them loads! Caden been bugging me for ice-cream!
And since we’ll be at Ion, i shall look see for a casual bag! Hee.
There’s something i do each year-end.
Spring cleaning. De-cluttering. To welcome the brand new year.
I started with the Bag section this week. Most of the bags i no longer use, i either throw or re-home them, depending on their value.
Then i realised i had some leftover scrapbook papers and decided to wallpaper the entire bookcase.
i’m still wallpapering them and i hope to finish it by next week!
Next would be my makeup section! I need to throw out lipsticks that has been around for more than 8 months and then rearrange everything else because i just realised the makeup section is overflowing.
After that would be the nails section and then the accessories section.
Very ambitious i know.
Happy Holidays people!
My holiday is spent watching Gossip Girl re-runs (i’m now back on Season 2!) while clearing all Card Maison artworks!
Off for a double movie date tonight to watch 47 Ronin and i’m hoping tomorrow we can go eat at East Coast. I miss the Honey Chicken Wings there.
Speaking about movies, ever since i discovered Cathay West Mall have these Elite Club Seats, i never go to any other movie theatre! The seats are uber-comfortable cos u can recline the back rest and the leg rest. Not to mention, the leg room is so spacious.
Tickets are from $11.50 – $15.00. Not that much difference from the normal ticket price for the additional comfort. Not sure if it’s available at any other Cathay Theatres though but worth checking it out!
I received so many emails requesting for the password to my TTC Posts and most of the question you girls asked;
“Where do i start and is fertility treatment costly?”
I am not an expert on fertility treatments but i’ll share what i went through.
I’ve been looking for an idea to store my bags and the little knick knacks i have nicely for quite sometime. It all began with the quest for the new wardrobe and then one thing led to another. As usual.
so anyway, i’ve been following this lady on Instagram for quite some time. I LOVE her bags especially all the candy-coloured Hermes.I don’t have a strong urge yet to get a Hermes but i know it is something i would love to have eventually. .
So anyway back to this girl she has one of the nicest ‘playground’ i’ve seen so far. A no-frills basic setup.
U can totally tell that she’s into Chanel & Hermes and look at all her Hermes. They are so colourful!
that feeling when u receive so many email notifications on X’Mas Sale for online stores but u are refraining from succumbing to the temptation because you know how awful shipping is during the X’Mas Season.
As much as it is so tempting to buy, shipping is such a bitch during the festive season.
Last year, i ordered $300 worth of clothes (together with my ex-colleagues) through Dorothy Perkins online, shipped from UK to Singapore and it took a whole 2 months before Vpost could detect it and notify me of the shipment. For that 2 whole months, my tracking just could not be detected. My order was stated as shipped on DP’s website but when i tried tracking it, it was unavailable. Imagine my distress for that 2 months. Stuff i ordered that should have reached me by Christmas got held off and i received it closer to Chinese New Year. Selamat bukan Hari Raya!
At the same time, i ordered some clothes from ASOS worth about $100 and used their Free Worldwide Shipping, obviously with no Tracking no, cos it’s free anyway, Ahhhhh bad move. The entire thing just got lost in transition.
i never did get what i ordered and ASOS Customer during festive season wasn’t very helpful at all.
This year, i’m never ordering anything online this festive season unless i can get expedited shipping free or less than USD$20.00 cos i don’t see any point paying more than S$30.00 for shipping alone.
I’m still waiting for my Forever 21 loot from the Black Friday Sale. But at least i know it’s with Vpost now.
I’m not even considering shopping at the mall. The crowd is horrendous. Everybody is out there buying stuff!
a bag crush.
her name is Cassandre.
I am so in love with her. Maybe because of the quilts. Or partly cos she reminds me of a vintage Chanel Chevron Flap Bag.
If you go through my posts tagged “Trying To Conceive”, you’ll see most of it are locked up with a password now.
With the recent viral post, i got really uncomfortable with posting too detailed details. But i know a few percentage of my readers are trying to conceive as well in fact some of you started seeing a gynae for fertility check after reading my posts to see if anything is wrong as well and while i don’t think people should be judgemental on people who are trying very hard to conceive, i just can’t help but feel maybe i should let the viral post die down a bit before i start posting freely about TTC.
Meanwhile, if you still wanna read my post on TTC, you can email me at bride.blogette@gmail.com for the password. That’s all you have you to do and i’ll give you the password. It would be even awesome if you have a blog and include your blog link! I would love to read about others TTC journey!
When everything dies down a bit and this blog is not getting so much attention, i’ll blog more openly on my TTC journey.
13,000 new visitor and 19,000 page views over 3 days is a bit too much attention for me. Lol
how the hell did it get all viral i have no idea! Hahahaha
Yesterday i got a notification from WordPress saying my site stats are higher than usual and i was wondering why.
Then yesterday morning, my sister sent me a screenshot of one of my post shared on FB and apparently it is somehow going viral without me realising because i don’t see it on my own FB Newsfeed!
Nampak sangat most of the people in my friendlist dah tua, dah kahwin, and dah tak kisah pasal wedding. Hahaha
The post responsible is: How I Managed The Wedding Budget
Hello new readers!
Just a point to note, my wedding was in 2011 and that post was written in 2012. So prices may have increased.
So please don’t quote my price when u ask the vendors ok? Cos it would be unfair to them. Heh.
But above all, i hope you take that post with a pinch of salt. What may work for me may not work for you.
I’m never against anyone who throw a big fat wedding in fact i love weddings and i feel if you can afford it, go spend your hard-earned moolah on your Big Day. But i’m against taking loans (bank / personal) for weddings. I feel that it’s irresponsible and that’s what i feel and you don’t have to agree with me. 🙂
