The PRECIOUS Little Black Book of Style.

when i entered the car, you said you had sth to give to me. and since you've been giving me my (loooooong overdue) london gifts one at a time, i thought it was THE ONE which i've been wanting to see the most..! haha but from your cute lil bag, you took out a gift wrapped in plastic foil......it. was. The Little BLACK BOOK of STYLE by Nina Garcia! it was last year right after my exams when i said i wanted to get it but becos it was sold out in most of the bookstores except borders (at which it was sold for 30 plus, 40), i kinda gave up getting the book. moreover, i just bought The ONE HUNDRED. you even offered to buy it from borders, i remember...but i told you not to cos i'd probably get it when i felt richer. haha...the holidays came and now school's started...so many events have taken place that my want for the book has been almost fully buried until you showed me the surprise gift! thank you so much for remembering and even more for bothering to order the book online. i really love the surprise!!! i'm going to keep it in mint condition!

you've made me understand what surprises really are. they do not have to occur all the time; they do not have to occur on special occasions. what make surprises so special are the feelings experienced by the recipient especially when sth unanticipated takes place. true enough, your surprises may not be many but whenever they happen, they are always unexpected which is good, cos they definitely have the element of surprise. and every surprise you give, it is special. really special. thank YOU.

2008 definitely ended well with God's richest blessings. I'm excited to enter 2009-the year of acceptance during which things that are in his delight, favour, and acceptance will take place. It'll be a much better year and I look forward to receiving much more. AMEN.

YES and AMEN!

Yes And Amen

God says yes and I know
That I'm blessed
Yes got a heart that's at rest
Yes and a future that's sealed
Yes if I'm healed then I'm healed
I'm not afraid of circumstances
'Cos I, I've already found the answers
In Christ all of God's promises
Are yes, yes and amen
Now's the time to let faith win
God has placed His promises
In the centre of His will
Seek His kingdom and His ways
All the power of heaven
Is yours to call today
All God's promises
Are yes and amen
Celebrate God's promises
Yes and amen

Hallelujah to You our King!

All the heavens

Holy holy are You Lord

The whole earth is filled with Your glory

Let the nations rise to give

Honour and praise to Your name

Let Your face shine on us

And the world will know You live

All the heavens shout Your praise

Beautiful is our God

The universe will sing

Hallelujah to You our King

hongkong: food and shopping paradise, INDEED!

back from my short hongkong trip! =) it was one which allowed my family, together with 2 uncles and their families, to spend time together while enjoying the local delicacies. well, of course it's HONGKONG! so other than savouring the super yummy dim sum, shopping was a MUST-DO over there plssss...from tsim sha tsui to central to mongkok to causeway bay and even to citygate, we walked in and out of h&m, coach, zara, club21, giordano concepts, agnes b, muji, uniqlo, and even the interesting little shops in langham place, etc, etc, etc...

everyday's itenarary was..dim sum brunch with family, followed by my lil sis and i gg separate ways from our parents to start our day-shopping, and then back to the hotel at 5-6pm to put down our bags of stuff, rest a little by watching some fashiontv and nat geo. at around 7, we'd meet our parents to have a good dinner and thereafter, night-shopping till the shops closed! amazingggg...but tiring! for the 4 nights, i actually slept before midnight...

i LOVE this coach store! the exterior design of it is absolutely stunning! haha..my sister admiring the christmas decor..seems like it, at least.one of my favourite purchases!!! how cute and pretty is this telephone!! ahem...it CAN BE USED. i use it to make my daily calls to clar that's why it's on my desk....hahaha!super satisfied with my purchases! i even found the ipanema design which isn't sold in spore!! was soooo happy to see them in hk..! yeah. those neon yellow sandals...hahaa
ok, doesn't seem like i bought alot alot cos i spent most of my money on ermm, those coach shoes(which i've always wanted) and a couple of stuff not to be mentioned :)

can't wait for my next shopping trip...! shall avoid shopping for the next few........................weeks? hahahaha days will sound toooo short, months will sound toooo long. so ya, i shall just stick with WEEKS. hahahaha! =)))))))))))))

The ONE HUNDRED

had dinner at sofra with yp...turkish food still tastes so good despite me feeling pukish due to the expansion of 2 donuts in my stomach which we ate for tea!the highlight of today!!!!
finally got my hands on this book! it was just sth i HAD TO buy..!! wanted to get her previous book: the little black book of style but it's no longer available..so sad!!! maybe i shld order that on amazon or sth...

anyway, i started reading the book on my way home and i love it!!!!!!!! many 'quotes' from designers and well-known pple from the fashion industry. and a few of them which i really like are:

Why make everthing black, black, black? Fashion should be fun and put a woman in the spotlight with a little bit of danger, you know?

- Robert Cavalli

and abt bangles..

It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory of fashion that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.

Arabian Night

now that clar's back, we continue food-hunting around s'pore, esp the more uluu or exotic places when he's the car :)

had dinner at cafe le caire @ Al Majlis...where they specialise in middle-eastern cuisine. It's an Arabian themed restaurant located in the Kampong Glam area. To be more specific, it's along Arab St..

Amazingly, the restaurant complex stretches over 33, 37 and 39 Arab Street as well as 4, 6 and 8 Haji Lane and it consists of different sections with different ambience to cater to the preferences of customers. There is the informal relaxed original setting, the open air concept, the quaint Haji Lane, the sofa lounge area, the air-conditioned upstairs dining room and the Al Majlis room in which people chill and smoke sheesha (quite cool)...and so, of cos, we chose the fine dining area.haha...

the carpeted room where you can smoke sheesha..

our spread as shown above..lots of lamb..Ba’mia which is okra and lamb stew with rice (his order), shish kebab, which is just cubes of lamb pieces, with potato wedges (mine), and a feta cheese omelette the both of us shared. looks quite like turkish food cos of all the lamb but ya, somehow, the spices used made the meat taste different (not in a bad way)...well, both of us enjoyed the Arabian food very much!

while taking a short stroll after dinner...he wanted me to take our shadowsss...! it was quite funny cos the first pic we took showed no shadow AT ALL as we used strong flash..yaa..felt like we were some ghosts or sth..so tried with soft flash and it was slightly better...then finally without any flash..our shadows appeared. alrite, how silly.

let's just take a photo of our facesss.........hmm but i've no idea where i was looking then. hahaha...

arab st was a good choice...at least we avoided the crazy crowd in town and the long queues outside restaurants which serve ordinary boring food. it was also a good break away from my horrible horrible therapeutic notes. happppppyyyyyy! :DDDDD

random post

26th is normal again. =)

and ya, he just told me that christmas is coming soon. haha..think many will roll their eyes. but hey, it really is! and i'm excited about it. what should this year's christmas theme be..........i want something colourful/vibrant! not the boring red and green againnn....hmmm

how about.......

idea no. 1: let's get christmassy with the ever-so-popular BOW CRAZE

to make it obvious, how abt guys wearing bow ties while girls going all girly with ribbons (obvious and preferably, big ones)
hahaa...i'd love to see the guys in bow ties. cool. but i know that the guys will come up with silly excuses...

idea no. 2: MiS-MATCH!

be dressed in at least 4 different striking colours! to make things easier, shoes be included. NO WHITE pls...

shall think of more ideas during my spare time. haha..to be continued.

:)

nK rulez...okayy...*Cya in 35*

mr surfer dude, you're so funny! i can totally imagine you doing this pose.
decided to "promote" your blog only after you start writing more..

i'm still amused by the thing you drew. lol..

I survived THE NIGHT...*Cya in 36*

it was a long night..a very very long night i must say. no, i think it's better to describe yesterday as the longest day EVER.

first, i got up at 1110am..sounds late huh, in fact, yes, i was not in time for my first lecture which i didn't even intend to go for as it's not very useful ( a total waste of time). and so i thought i'd try to use the time to probably study for my coming test on tues. but...nope, my mind was just somewhere else..thinking..thinking..maybe imagining will sound more right. i was imagining how long and dreadful the next 5 weeks would be without clarwu as he'd be away in london for training. my mind was just occupied with that no matter how much i tried to distract myself..maybe cos my notes were far too boring. but still......it was just stuck in my head..and the feeling was terrible.

FINALLY, it was 5 in the evening, and i decided to drop by vivo to get a little gift for him before heading to the airport. i thought it would serve as a good distraction..spend some money and get high on shopping. Retail therapy? Lousy. Everything looked so uninteresting! But well, somehow i found a black tie with mini checkers from zara..formal with a fancy touch. i love it! haha..i hope you do too =) after zara, i knew what i wanted to get next..his fav "twix" for his long flight there..actually, it's TWIRL (he enjoys acting dory-ishly..dory's the fish in nemo that suffers from short term memory loss).

THEN it was time to leave for the airport. the train ride was torturously long and when i reached CHANGI AIRPORT after forever, i immediately felt the grossness of it. the freezing air, sounds caused by the luggage's rolling wheels, crowds of youngsters looking excited to see their friends off, while some were looking at the screen to check the flight details...blah blah..in all, the airport gives me a depressing feeling even if i'm going on a holiday. ewww. the feeling was almost overwhelming, so much so that i felt like taking a train back home. but fortunately, yiping came to accompany me and it helped so much. she's so funny..she lightened the mood and stopped all the imagination which i had earlier. thanks so much for taking time to "see him off" haha.. and so everything turned out good. clar came to join us for a drink and we still talked and joked as normal..no emo rubbish at all. haha...

1050pm! it's the moment of truth..hahaha...alrite, he had to go in and come out of there only after 5 weeks. but all of us sent him off with a smile. yayy! even i thought it was such an unbelievable outcome. amazing. not that i wanted to be crying and sink into depression..but it just seemed easier than i IMAGINED it to be. of cos, i wasn't like, yayy!-happy abt him leaving but i'd think that i felt much better when the actual farewell took place as compared to the imaginary farewell.

i guess it's the power of the mind...really. no doubt that the truth hurts (As everyone knows), but i think (bad) imagination kills.

traces..traces..

out went a container filled with mayo potato-pasta salad with cheese and lotsa bacon bits. and in came a container filled with sweet treats (ok, i've eaten a packet of kinder bueno and gave him a tube of the hi-chew). thanks for the super sweet surprise! :)
BUT 1 per day is still not gg to occupy me for the 36 days!! we've counted..i need....20 pieces more..not the kisses plsss. alrite, maybe staring at that lovely container will be good.it is coming..my tests are approaching..urgh, could i fast forward to my 1 week break...my class dinner..fun and laughter..sentosa..
