Guess Watches

I have a Guess watch given as a birthday gift when I was studying in SIM. Hence it is 5 years old now and it is still a good working condition, except the strap was a little tattered and torn.
Guess watches are pretty and quite durable, but a drawback is that I have to travel to Orchard to fix the watch, even it is just changing of the strap. They do not do any servicing at their retail outlets.


So here I am with a "brand new" watch, and I chose black as it is a classic colour which matches almost any outfits.
When you are on a tight budget and there is no point spending money on another watch, change the strap (I paid $35). Little changes do wonders sometimes.

Eggs & Berries at Changi City Point

There was one weekend that Sunday Times recommended places from brunches. Quite a number of cafes featured seems a little over for our budget, until we scrolled down to Eggs & Berries at Changi City Point. I told Ali that this had 10% discount with Citibank and DBS cards, hence after "approval" was sought, we headed down to the mall which I always get to see 5 days a week.

It was rather packed when we reached there on a saturday afternoon. We thought it would be difficult to get a table but we were served quite promptly.

Ali took Eggs Benedict whereas I ordered Sweet Brioche French Toast with Sausage & Scrambled Eggs. They say, the higher your expectation, the greater your disappointment. And indeed it was. I was anticipating the piping hot pancakes served with savoring sausages with mustard but the dish was cold. The portion was pathetic too, albeit I should not expect much since the price was at $13.50. I did not get enough kick from the small layers of mustard. Maybe I was asking for too much.

The Eggs benedict took a while to come and as usual, Ali was a little cranky like a child. Probably he was too hungry hence he gobbled everything down. Guys are not exactly that particular, are they?

Never mind the little episode of the staff who gave me ice water when I requested for warm water, I am not a fussy customer. Yet, I will not visit again, because the food is not worth the money,

I was walking to the train station with Turner one evening and we walked passed through Changi City point, I turned to my teammate and said, "Turner not nice leh." and pointed to the cafe. Turner sang in unison and commented that the carbonara she had the other time was a letdown too. Well, better luck next time, Eggs & Berries.

When will be the next excursion? (edited on 21/06/2012)

Peng 姐 and I was scheduled to do a site visit at one of my employer's operations. After the stringent security check at the Changi Airport, we embarked on the tour without our trainer around. It was a little confusing at first as I was not very familiar with the grounds at terminal 2. Thankfully we have a staff whom used to work in the same department as us showed us around and they served some fab beverages.
The experience at terminal 3 was a brief one. Probably due to the crowd, we had our juices and after a quick introduction, we left the place to fill our tummy.
The hard rock cafe set lunches were offered at a discounted rate and we got it even cheaper because we had the Changi group staff pass. Although we did not get to shop around much, it was indeed a relaxing day at work and I am keeping my fingers crossed for more to come.

p.s I seized the chance and brought Peng 姐 to the Butterfly Garden in the terminal. Unfortunately, she was a little afraid of them probably too much association of butterflies with horror movies. Haha

Bodycon dress for me again?

I bought one of the grey bodycon dress from one of the famous blogshop for my company Dinner and Dance last year. When I was ready to leave the house, my aunt commented that I look like a hippopotamus. After the huge horror, I dashed back into the room and change into an old brown toga dress. I forgot to change the shade of my eyeshadows as Apple was already waiting for me at my void deck, thankfully the colour was acceptable at that night (even if it didn't, it was already over!). 
I have quite a big butt, large in surface but it is not perky enough. I would say it is rather flat.
It was not my first bodycon dress anyway. I bought something similar from Forever 21 for 2010 D&D but it was a black bottom, hence I guess it still look rather alright for me.
The grey dress seems to have emphasize too much on my bottom, so after that incident I try to avoid any tight fitting dresses. 


I was surfing the net and stumbled across the tips to wear.

General Body-Con Tips:

• Don’t be afraid! The thought of tight, figure-hugging clothing probably inspires fear in the majority of women, but it shouldn’t! Most body-con pieces are actually pretty flattering, due to the fact that they suck you in, smoothing out your shape. Still self-conscious? Try wearing Spanx (Jessica Alba swears by ‘em) or even high-waisted sheer footless tights under anything you feel is too tight or short.
• Spend money on Spanx? It would not be worth it as I am not required to dress formal even for my work.
• Play with proportions. As I’ve stressed in previous articles, if you’re wearing a tight item of clothing, it’s a good rule to balance it out with an item that’s not as form fitting. Wearing a tight skirt? Try a colorful, loose-fitting tank tank top for balance.
• Alright, note to myself.
• Choose what to showcase. Sure, a tight bandage dress is a great option for a night at the club, but it’s not for every day! For normal wear, it’s best to decide what assets to flaunt and cover the rest! Example: if you’re wearing tight, high-waisted jeans, put on a short sleeved turtleneck! That way, you flaunt your legs and butt, but keep the cleavage under wraps for a classy look.
• no cleavage, no sexy legs. in addition, wearing tight skirt always needs me to adjust it every now and then. Next please.
• Go dark. Because these styles are so form fitting, it’s best to opt for a dark color if you’re feeling at all shy about showing your shape. Black, dark gray, brown, navy, and even deep purples and reds are all great color choices for body-con pieces.
• Yes, that was why the black dress suited me.
• Pick your pairings wisely. What you wear with your body-con is almost as important as the body-con item itself! For city chic looks, pair body-con dresses with bombers, boyfriend blazers, or jean jackets. If you’re doing the body-con thing in the AM (or any in-class hours!) choose conservative shoes–think ballet flats or boots. Even your accessories can provide some needed coverage, so go ahead and pull out your scarf from last fall! It’s all about striking a balance between showing off your hot bod and keeping it classy.
• too much information to absorb.

No more bodycon dress this season anyway, meanwhile I am going to stick the simple A-line or flare design, unless my butt and legs grow thinner?

P.s I managed to find the picture of me wearing the dress for preview on Ali's iPad. So here it goes... ...

Miu Miu Mandras goat wallet

I have been wanting to change my wallet. I had used it for three years and due to the fact I am lazy to send it for cleaning, it became dirty. Moreover, as my fetish to apply for credit cards grows, I do not have enough slots to carry them and the wallet grew fatter each day with the rest of the useless items and membership cards.
Hence Ali was nice enough to sponsor me as my birthday gift this year. Another bag would be lovely to my collection but I shall not push my luck further. I did not buy any valuable articles insurance (after learning that such policy exists, thanks to my co. whom sent me for PGI examination).
So the thought of perils happening acts as a good deterrence for me to save money and not to acquire more bags.

It is selling at 640SGD at Miu Miu paragon. There are some design that are currently at 30% discount. I insisted on a black one, and black design often is not included in the sales. After much persuasion by a zealous staff on how sturdy Mandras wallet is and the approval from Ali, card was swiped and I left on a happy note.
I am sure it will serve me well for long.

Love, you made girls irrational, don't you?

It's another weekend where it is time I plugged in my earphone and listen to the random love songs played on air before I fall asleep. Working at night made me lifeless for two weeks. So I tucked myself silly with loads of food today which made my stomach a little bloated.
Anyway I digressed. I was chatting with one of my colleague few days ago and he told me a little of his love stories. It reminded me how I used to be so silly over guys, probably because the guys whom I have crushes on have never taken any interest on me. So I was in a complete mess when I handle love issues or when I was with my first boyfriend.

I asked Ali what would he do if he ever found out that I had another affair behind his back. He replied "see how lah,I don't know". Haha.

I would probably end the relationship if ever such incident were to happen. I couldn't bring myself to be so stress and reduce to a stressful paranoia state where I have to rebuild the trust again. But well again, the decision may change in near future or depending on the circumstances.
It's a Sunday night again. Good night, and may love finds you well.

Sorry for the hiatus

I was busy settling some family affairs and I have gone back to work. Time always seems to fly when you are enjoying your vacation. Moreover, I am also studying for some tests which my job beckons me to. Unfortunately I failed one of them and I have to re-take.
I promise I will be back to blogging my travelogue of Taipei, although I do know many had done so. Whenever I come across articles or picture of that beautiful country, it makes me miss the place more.
I look forward to more holidays. Of course, this means I have save up more moolahs to fulfill my dreams.
