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!

Officially in the 30’s club. But i am always always young at heart!

At 30, i wish i have achieved more than what i have now but syukur Alhamdulilah for all that He has given me so far.
All the experience and the opportunities given were priceless and i will not trade them for anything.

To cut the story short, i think everybody is excited for that Jumbo!

I went to the Chanel at Taka! Love the service there although that place is totally littered with rich indons & Arabs!

I’ve got natural curls and my hair is really fine and limp hence when i chopped it short, memang lah masalah besar sekali.
Firstly because Abang sam forbade me to rebond my hair / flat iron it cos it will look even more flat and having flat short hair is not exactly nice for me. He told me i’ll need to blow dry my hair to get my desired results. But blow drying & styling my hair is seriously a bitch!
Blowdrying it with my normal hair dryer just did not yield the kind of result i wanted so i was on a lookout to splurge on a salon hairdryer.

While looking for reviews, i came across the Babyliss Big Hair. Watched youtube reviews and i was sold!
I’ve been using it for a month now and totally no regrets.

It’s not that expensive, compared to a salon hair dryer (which can cost up to $300 for  really good one) but it does an equally good job! Perfect for noobs like me and it takes me about 15mins to get my short bob in place.

This was one of the reviews done for shorter hair. I was sold after this video because her hair texture is about the same as mine.

Those with longer hair, you can also use this and smoothen your tresses with it really quickly.

I got mine here and it’s retailing for $159.00
Totally worth it for all the time it has saved me! Recommended Liza to get and she loves it too!

And no, this is not a blog advertorial! lol

Few days back, i met an old girlfriend, who got married few months before me.
She is also trying to conceive so yes we are still enjoying couple time with our spouses.

but i couldn’t resist asking her “what the hell happen to you?”
i wanted to add in “did the robber take away your entire wardrobe?!”

Now don’t get me wrong, i’m never judgemental on what people wear and don’t wear but i was taken aback when she said
“i’m married already what. Nak melawa lagi buat apa?” 

To each her own honestly but isn’t looking presentable an unspoken code among women, married or single.
And by being presentable, you don’t need to be flashing the latest IT bag, draping yourself in the finest silk and all the likes.

At least my definition of being presentable while out in the public;
washed hair, ironed clothes, proper footwear and at least a lightly made-up face or if you’re not someone who wears makeup, at least blot the oils away?

Kind of got me thinking, do married women get complacent?

After the Expo, on Monday, i got up really late, just to make up for all the early mornings and then on Tuesday, i had a date with the bestie, Liza. We met up for lunch at Tong Seng. If you have not heard, Tong Seng Coffeeshop, the one behind Bugis Junction, at Liang Seah Street will be closing down come 15 October 2013 and of course i had to go and pay them a visit before it shut it’s doors. I spent most of my teenage years there! I use to skip classes and go for a 3-hr long lunch break just so i could eat the Mushroom Chicken Noodles, Laksa, Fried Wanton and Sliced Fish soup. Liza and me continues to eat at Tong Seng after we graduated and moved on to working life and previously when Liza was still back in UK, i’ll miss her when i pass by Tong Seng. So yes, Tong Seng held many good memories.

I couldn’t decide on what to eat but i settled for the laksa. No Taugeh, extra cockles. Yum yum.
