<body> The new old. <body>


❤ July 10, 2014

I've been endlessly cleaning the room because I am getting bored just too easily these days.


Warning: This post is all about shopping. Lol!

I am pretty excited for this year's Eid because I will be wearing something that I put up together on my own. Its not that complicated yet as in no I am not sewing them from scratch. I have yet to learn how to sew properly. The only knowledge when it comes to sewing is from Lower Secondary's Home Economics. Lol! Yeah its that basic. :X

I actually put the outfit together but more on the outfit will be shown when the time comes. - which is during Eid itself :P New clothes, so new accessories as well. I will be dropping hints on my outfit along the way! :D Hint: I will be wearing my favorite color (pink) this year! Hence the extra excitement feeling.


This year, I will be accessorizing with a handbag instead of my usual purse for Eid. Because mummy has been always telling to get a handbag for a change since I have always been carrying a purse around for the past many years. The reason why I carry a purse is because I don't feel the need to carry a handbag since I don't need to carry my huge wallet around considering that my dad drive when we were to go out. In addition to the handbag that I bought, I can't seem to find the item online from their website anymore. This is my first time purchasing Carlo Rino. I'm not sure if many people actually know about this brand. I am usually not a fan of their bags actually. I find their bags are something that I would buy for school and thats it. Especially their totes. I was looking for a small handbag, not too big, but big enough to fit my long wallet (because my wallet is long, so people like my mum say. I think my wallet seem like the normal kind of long wallets.). I need to ensure that the bag can definitely fit my wallet because I would like to get a bag that I can bring to weddings and special events, dinner, whatsoever. Also, I would love it to be in black, shiny black. Looking classy, yeah! :) I was kinda excited when I found the bag, and I was kinda shocked that I would love a bag from Carlo Rino actually. I think the different departments stores have different collection. Usually the ones I see those Carlo Rino bags are from Tampines BHG outlet. I was looking for bags for work and school, and their collection isn't that great for weddings nor new year in my opinion. Takashimaya definitely have more choices when it comes to handbags, so its a good choice that I go there to get my handbag.

PS. Here's my wallet, I don't think I've updated my new wallet, but here it is. Before this, I was using the Cath Kidston wallet. Its blue and white stripes and I most definitely feel so weird and out of place. I was kinda happy that its about time that I change my wallet. And its time to get a pink one, because I miss my previous pink Charles and Keith wallet. And yes, I am totally into MK. I just love their designs in their products especially their monogram designs.


Along with a black handbag, I'm matching it with a black watch from Marc Jacobs. Again, mummy was trying to convince me to stop getting white watches. I have this thing with white and gold watches. I wasn't quite sure about the purchase of the black watch initially but upon getting the bag, I realised that I am not making any mistakes with my purchase. Well I hope so, lol. Because I don't usually get black watches, I'm kinda afraid that the watch wouldn't match me well. However the watch will always have a simple element of gold. Heeee.


Let's hope that I love the watch when it comes. :D I am still patiently waiting for the watch to arrive. Please arrive soon. Thank you very much!

Finally moving on to the shoes. As usual, my heels are always from New Look. I love their heels because they're very comfortable no matter how high the heels are. This time I kinda purge into buying 2 pairs despite having a lot of heels at already. I went ahead and get a red pair and a silver pair. I was totally loving the red pair but I was afraid that the pair wouldn't be an easy fit for my clothes because its red. Too bright, too bold, but I still love it.


I totally love lace. They just make simple things look very very elegant. Along with this, I have recently purchase something for my iPhone and my iPad. Something to commemorate the end of my internship. I know that sometimes I can be kinda of too much. Always finding opportunity to treat myself with something. Lol. But how can I resist if there are sales around me. :D


The iPad mini case is actually the Apple's smart case with a little touch of DIY rhinestone ribbon because I love ribbons and making it more personal. I just love the color of my iPhone VS case. Speaking of gadget cases, I have picked the perfect phone case that will totally match the theme of this year's Eid. Pink. Yes my phone changes its "clothes" as well. Lol I have yet to use my another MK phone case that I purchase some time ago. I guess this is the perfect chance for me to use it. Matching with my outfit. A touch of pink, white and gold. Again, another hint. Hehe


I think I'm kinda having some kind of shopping haul for the Eid's celebration as well as enjoying the GSS sales that are going on right now. I have been going to Forever 21 and Forever New a lot. Forever 21 sales are just so awesome that you can't leave without getting something from there. I was purging with accessories. Like belts, earrings and bracelets.


These were in the sales corner. I just can't believe how much they each costs! Moving from the sales corner, I decided to get another pair of earrings along with gold leopard prints shades!


Usually I would buy those lengthy earrings but for some reason I am into big studs this time. I'm guessing because of the recent activity - internship. I bought a whole lot of studs that I can wear for work and I am kinda loving how studs look on me, especially those huge ones that I can wear for dinner and special events.

As I went shopping from time to time, I just keep finding new pair of studs that I would love to get, one that I can put on when I go out, because they're just too gorgeous! Then I found this. Its gold, it has jewels, it has pearls. It's perfect for my outfit! I'm talking about the earring on the left, Forever 21.


Another hint for my outfit: Jewels and pearls.

Forever New was having sales too. I found this pair from Forever New which is simple and elegant. I can even wear this for work in the future because its not that big!


I bought this piece without the intentions of getting one in the first place. I just can't believe how elegant this piece of jewelry is. So instantly I love it! I just have to get it. :D

I get this leather LOVE piece too. I am usually not the kind that would get this kind of accessory, but I just feel like this is nice, and I would like trying it out!



In addition to my Eid's outfit, I bought a waist belt to match my outfit, but I have yet to try if they really do match. Lol I'm feeling kinda lazy to try the whole outfit again, this time with the belt. So let's hope that the belt really matches well with it. Again, its gold, white and with jewels.


To top it all, I got some new scents from Victoria's Secret. Sales are just getting the best of my money, really! Lol! I usually buy the Such A Flirt scent because I just love the scent. I'm trying out new scents right now. Right now on my vanity, is the Sunset Flower and Love Spell. I have always loved such a flirt but was tempted to try new scents and I realised that many said that Love Spell is very nice, so I went ahead and try that. It's not bad. I love it, still Such A Flirt is one my faves. Any recommendations to the scents I should try next time? :D


I love shopping, its kinda like my hobby! Happy Great Singapore Sale (GSS) everyone! Spend your money wisely, but of all, HAVE FUN! x

❤ July 7, 2014

Many months have passed and this blog has been pretty much left alone, left untouched.

However first of all, I would like to wish all the Muslim Sisters and Brothers from all around the world, Ramadhan Mubarak! 


Ps. Yes it has to be in Pink, there are multiple colors available, but hey pink is great hehe!

Over the months, I've actually went through some changes in my daily routine.

Some of the changes includes:
1. I've actually completed my internship since the end of May
2. I'll be graduating this July, which I totally cannot wait.
3. I've collected my graduation academic gown. Which then I started to feel kinda bittersweet about it. More about it in a while.
4. I'm pretty much into job hunting, endless job hunting. 
5. I've been filling up my time with different activities like taking up courses on my own, reading, and lots of DIY projects. More on that in a while as well. 


Since I am totally done with my internship, that can only mean one thing! I am totally done with school! That's the end of my undergrad's life. This leads to a couple of things. I am unemployed, I need a job asap because it just feels so weird because for the past many years of my life, I have a meaning to my everyday until now. I wake up not having somewhere to rush to, be it school or office (because last sem was internship semester). I wake up, to a full day to myself, no plans ahead. I have become a spontaneous person. I am usually an organized person, one that plans her day throughout, the things she needs to do, complete. Now, things have change. I have nothing that needs to be done/completed at all. No due dates, no datelines to catch up to, no more lectures to catch up. Hence I end up taking courses on my own. Just like in any school semesters, I end up watching multiple lecture materials over one day. I'm better that way :P

However, I hope I do get a job soon. I want my life to go back to normal. Partially I blame the daily routine of being in an internship semester, lol. Apart from my the courses that I've been doing on my own, I spend a lot of my personal time doing all the DIY projects. It is after all the season that is happy, bright and very summer-y! :D 

Because previously I was totally busy with internship, not having the chance to get in touch with my personal DIY time, I only managed to do a few things like cards for a friend that is completing her internship, a bestfriend's bridal shower card,  colleagues' gifts because I will be leaving the place (so sad). 

If it is not because of the group that I had during my internship, I don't think my experience is as beneficial and fruitful as it has been. The group decided to write a little message for one of us that leaving and ending her internship journey earlier than the rest, partly because she started way earlier than all of us. It has been a pleasure, all the friends I made there. Truly a pleasure. xx




I have always loved bridal showers, weddings, anything lace and jewels. This is my chance to showcase the ideas to design and create the design I love. One of my bestfriends recently got married. Not exactly recently, its almost nearly a month ago from today, but it totally feels like yesterday when it all happened.


I totally love how the card turns out to look like. It's pretty perfect to my eyes because I totally love it. I actually do think about wanting to design my own wedding card when the time comes.. but I'm not sure if that would probably cost even more than just getting those custom designs ones. Again, when the time comes, I shall find out about the pricing and what nots. But sure, its interesting to design your own wedding card, right? :D


These are afterall the things that I love doing and designing. :)

Next DIY was the small goodies that I made for my team. 
The little things I made for everyone in my team. Giving them a touch of pink because I love them and I love pink. This is the day when I learn I can totally make perfect ribbons. Hehe



The day that I packed the stuff, to bring these chocolate babies and leave them in office so I can hand them over easily when the time comes.. which is just few days after I brought them lol!

Ps. I know my bag seemed like it has way too many pink items inside, what made it worse is that the bag that I used to carry those chocolates is pink as well. Its the Victoria's Secret's paper bag. Oh I love that bag so so much!!



Of all the projects that I have done, I am truly thankful for my team that I intern in. One of the best team, with great people who trust me more than I trust myself. This in return gave me the opportunity to learn so much, even more than I actually expected from before I started the whole internship last year. It was truly great experience. I didn't get the opportunity to post the image of the gift that they have presented me, partly because I haven't use the item yet. I totally love it, I will use it one day. Its precious to me. Thank you team.


The gift that they presented was truly expected. I didn't see that coming because I wasn't expecting anything from the team. Since I have yet to officially open the bag and use it, I'll definitely keep in mind to take an ootd shot with that bag when I use it. Its too precious. :)


One thing that amuse me was - "Since you love pink so much, we decided to get a bag that is kinda of pink/red to compliment all your items. You have a pink wallet, pink phone case, you need a pink bag too!" Hehehe so cute. Thank you once again, I don't think I can ever thank everyone in my team enough.


Moving on after the end of my internship, I got busy for the whole of June for some reason. One of it was because one of my bestfriends is getting married. While everyone is busy getting married, here I am trying to get a job. Lol. But anyways, it was a great day. Started off to the Fullerton Hotel. Totally love the view, and what makes it better is that the bride was looking totally gorgeous! Loving it all so much. Being there with all my love girlfriends, along with the guy that are so precious, its just a perfect setting.


I was pretty much trying to focus on getting the view than trying to get my face in the picture, Lol! But its totally worthit. I see my face everyday. I have my bestfriend's face in it! YAY! hehe


A shot with all of us. Its a rare sight to have the 4 of us in a picture. As people grow, people start to fade, not because they don't care about one another but because they just got busy of the tight schedule, endless datelines and stuff. But no matter what, we always stick by and be there on special occasions like this. I was kinda hoping that I could get a picture where all 5 of us are in the picture, and I did, all thanks to favorite boy.

It was glaring hot that day. What made it worst was the morning sun. Morning sun totally burns us all, Lol! I totally get so dark because of the morning sun rays. But we are all happy because we are there together for her big day.


Her wedding setting is totally perfect. Why? Because it's pink. It's just the shades that I love. I want my wedding to be like this too. Look at how perfect the bride and groom stage is. I am just admiring every scene of the wedding. Perfection. Finally getting a shot with the princess of the day. Congratulations darling! xx


Throughout the whole event, while one leave because of work duties, and busy schedule, then came another that joined us. Finally we get a shot at the photo booth. We didn't get to get a shot with the 2 bestfriends because they are just too busy and they had to leave before the photobooth was even ready.



Basically that's about it when it comes to the events after the end of my Internship.

I will update on the other DIYs that I made for my room soon! I have completed almost all the projects that I intended to make but I have one more which I am still deciding if I should do it. Till then, have a great holiday/time! xx
