Awake at 4am

Way past my bedtime and I’m very surprised that I’m still awake, considering how exhausted I’m. We had our models flown in this week and there’s just so much to do in between the many, many ongoing photoshoots and the paperwork backlog I have on hand. Thank god for the amazing partners. And a very supportive boyfriend who has been bringing the girls out for makan despite it being his exam period now.

Tomorrow.. or rather in 12 hours, they’re flying back so it’s going to be Chinatown in the morning then airport then I got to rush to get my travel plans settled. Can’t believe we’re leaving for Korea the following week.. I have absolutely nothing prepared except the Uggs.

Anyway, if you haven’t heard..

of food and such

The boy’s friend has an album on Facebook featuring the food his wife cooks. The little sweet things newly weds do. The thing is, it’s either he’s a really bad photographer or she really can’t cook. We’re guessing the latter cause the combination of ingredients is just wrong. Wolfberries with steamed tofu?

Between the boy and me, he’s the better cook. Undeniably. While I won’t burn down the kitchen, I’m not the one whipping up Christmas feasts, making herb crusted rack of lamb and the likes. And a little fun fact, he prepared a feast of my favourite food – clam chowder (NOT the canned type okay), shepherd’s pie (sigh.. I miss having carbs) and tirumisu when he wanted me to be his girlfriend.

Anyway, I need to have a good snack while watching my shows so I prepared a huge bowl of edamame to accompany my Gossip Girl time. And he promptly said, “Dear,  next time if you become a housewife.. dinner does NOT mean heating up a bowl of edamame okay?”

meh

Worked my ass off on a Saturday with just barely 3 hours of sleep last night. Now my whole body aches like fuck. Note to self: Too old to get involved with stock updates, should just leave it to the young ones. BUT on a happier note, I got a fast hand preview at some of the gorgeous frocks we have coming in soon and I’m mad excited! We also found a few best-seller pieces here and there whilst stock taking.. so hurry head to ClubCouture and see if any of your favourites just got restocked ;)

I also wanted to blog about this cuff that we just launched. It’s the one I’ve been wearing to death cause it’s mad pretty. The buckle really opens and closes okay, so sleek. I feel so guilty that I love it more than the LV bracelet the boy got me.

BUT it sold out minutes within launch so too bad :/ Get the white version before it’s gone too!

I did a hair treatment two weeks back that was so good cause my hair actually became incredibly soft, but somehow my hair now gets oily REALLY fast :( I used to get by with washing my hair every other day but now I need to wash it at least twice a day. Anyway the reason why I’m typing this is because my hair is really very grossly oily atm and I’ve decided I’m going to take a bath. Bye friends.

“I’m very fat! Can I get like appetite suppressants or something?”

“No. Why don’t you exercise?”

why

I have been on a very grand salad & fruits diet for the past few weeks and while I’ve lost 5kg, I am very very constipated. WHY? So much fibre already!

And if you’re wondering, yes I am typing this from the toilet.

I’ve both angry and sentimental stuff to write about – if I don’t fall asleep that is – and I can’t decide which should I write about first. I think I’ll go with the latter, then perhaps by the time I’m done, I’ll no longer be mad.

Last week was a good stroll down memory lane!

I got my nails done on Thursday with Bryant. So metro I know, but he’s an awesome manicure buddy! He introduced Manicurious , a super lovely new establishment by his friend. It turns out that the owner of the place’s from VS and quite acquainted with my ex-boyfriend from those secondary school days. #awkwardmoment. It was a good 3 hours spent chilling out and just talking about those Cedar/VS days whilst getting foot scrubs.

P.S. If you’re looking for a super cosy place to spend girly time, I really recommend Manicurious! They serve quite gourmet coffees too.

Saturday, I met up with Shufang & Xiuyun for brunch at Marmalade Pantry. So much bitching, so much gossip and so much updates. And hello, we’re no longer young okay. It’s been 10 years since we graduated from Cedar!

And now for the angry stuff..

WHY is property so insanely expensive now. $1.3m for a mickey mouse 99 year leasehold resale condo that’s so old, it probably needs like another $150k worth of renovations. If it’s Cairnhill, fine. But nooo it’s SERANGOON okay.

WHY are there so many angry, dumb people around. Ya you pro opposition good la, you anti PAP also good la. But hello, how is it PAP’s fault when you have to walk a very long way from the plane to immigration at the budget terminal. FLY SQ LA! When elections are around, you complain Singapore too many S-pass foreigners stealing your job. Then now, elections over, when your application to hire another foreigner gets rejected, you scold PAP and threaten not to vote for them at the next elections. zzz

And I’m angry with myself for taking ownership over the boy’s exams when he doesn’t even want to take ownership of his own life! I feel guilty for taking away his revision time to go on dates/watch movies/eat out etc and so I suggest to drop almost all social activities.. only to watch him spend his entire life playing Starcraft. And I end up becoming some naggy old woman telling him to “study leh…”

Bed time now, NIGHT.
