the loots from Mr Q has finally arrived!

this is the picture of me wearing the polka dot off shoulder top in real life. (as promised to a babe who tagged here)

and taking pictures of myself seems addictive, i can't seem to stop!
so i snapped and i snapped and snap snap snap!!!!!


material's really nicer than expected.
it's silky and smooth, and what's the exact term for this kinda material?
but it's rather uncomfortable cuz any slight movements and the smocked part will easily slide right up to my neck!


it fits me snugly.
not exactly though, a teeny bit smaller would be even better.
very comfortable i can even wear to sleep :P


Royal Purple Kimono Top. (without belt)
i got this from Chinatown for only $10, compared to sellers online or at Far East who sell this at $20+


same royal purple kimono with vintage belt.
my next quest would be a royal blue top.


another kimono top that falls nicely at my thighs, giving me a great chance to wear those leggings i tugged back from Guangzhou!!

*i remember Jo Chieng says she will not go out with me if i wear leggings, but i don't care, when i meet her again, i'm going to wear leggings and take them out and put on her head, make her look like robber. hahaha! funny right! *runs to hide*)


i take until i very tired leh!
see the colour of this pic?
no, i didn't adjust the lighting.
the colour's like that cuz it's sunset time!
i actually snapped until sunset!!

pics were taken in my brother's room (it's empty compared to mine)
and in his room, you can get a really nice (not perfect though) view of the sunset.
but it's darn hot!!
damn, i should have just snapped a pic of the sunset too!

SHOPPING GALORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i got this in beige.
*i so wanna go to a cold place for my next holiday.


isn't this so pretty?
i'm already thinking of where i can wear this to.


this top gives me a little gothic-lolita feel.
*i likey!*

what's wrong with yahoo mail these 2 days?
loading time is extremely slow!!!
i hope it gets better soon.

bought these y'day:









i love vintage belts!
some were impulse buys :P

i'm letting go of the last 3 belts, if you're interested, pls email me at ilovedawn@gmail.com

i just received this beautiful vintage belt with gold clasp:


it's really nice in real life and i like it very much!

i just ordered this after hearing all the raves about it:



Recently, i have a fetish for rose scented products.

i am so gonna order these!!!
(cuz they are Rose scented!!)


I want my body to have the rose scent.


My hands and nails will be strengthened and the rose scent will be lingering on them too!

these are one of the latest products from Japan and they're selling like hotcakes in Taiwan now, i can't wait for them to arrive so i can drown myself to death with all these rose scented products.

one more!
i almost forgot:


QUEEN Rose sheet masks!

besides these rose products, i am currently also using these:

Rose sheet masks by @Nature!
they smell soooooo nice and refreshing, my face really feels very hydrated after using it.


Rose Night Jelly.
my absolute holy grail.
i apply this religiously every night before i go to bed and leave it overnight till the next day when i wake up, it's like my night cream.
the texture is really like jelly!
this is not harmful to the pocket and it works miracles.
unlike other branded and expensive night creams i've tried, this still works for me the best, it's not oily at all and i feel like my skin is like a baby's the next day!
i love Rose Night Jelly!!!

if you're interested, you can order them here:

i'm a rose freak!

my recent buys and probably my last for the month.
and i'm glad that the month's ending in 2 days! :P


m shaped boob tube


Hippie top! (thanks to Angel who inspired me to purchase this)
however, i may want to sell it away cuz it's a tad too big.
email me if you're keen and tempt me with your offers.
ilovedawn@gmail.com

i heart pasar malams.
for those yummy Ram-ly Burgers, hot & spicy otahs, muah chee, butter corn and many many yummylicious food!

nowadays, i heart pasar malams even more, cuz they are infested with many Sanrio and Disney characters.

i jusy got myself 2 nighties for $10.
mickey mouse and my childhood favourite, strawberry shortcake.

and i managed to find the Hello Kitty FM Auto Scan Radio in the shape of a little house.
i wanted it ever since i saw it at a friend's place in HongKong.

i got many stickers for my students, going for as cheap as 10 cents per sheet.

alrite enuff of these kiddish buys.

hope you enjoy these pics:

my buys today!


i wanted this for god knows how long and i thought it was discontinued.
but it came back eventually!
so, it's meant for me :)


another playsuit.
this one looks cuter with more details.
was struggling between white and navy blue and i chose white in the end cuz i think i look better in white.
tough choice though.

i need to sleep!

We went to The Little Bali aka The Villa Bali on Saturday!
it's a really nice chill out place with a hollistic concept, i felt like i was in Bali here!


Little Bali in Singapore dishes out a sample of the Balinese lifestyle and culture to our hectic lifestyles especially with their chill-out bar called 'The Villa Bali'. With a specially designed Balinese garden, it seeks to create an idyllic atmosphere for those nights when you need to destress and relax.

don't ask me where is it, although this is my 2nd time there, i have never been there by myself.
i was alwayz driven there.
the closest thing i can tell you is that it's near Alexander Road and it's quite a remote area.
now you know, my sense of directions is unfortunately, close to zero :P


Little Bali by day.

at the wine bar, waiting for an outdoor seat.


Outdoor garden area.




yesterday, a nice little angel got me this from DFS:


BAILEYS with a hint of mint chocolate!
it's newly launched early this year.
great for the chocolate lover in me.

today, we went shopping!
and Bing got for me this:



i like it very much cuz it's very cute!

i can't stop shopping recently!
i really need mopiko on my fingers, or better still, chop them all off.

and the best thing, i'm spending even when i'm home.
or should i say, i spend the most when i'm home!!

well, here are my darn buys!



i have a fetish for polka dots.
why didn't i appreciate the time when i had chicken pox?
i had polka dots all over my skin then!


Hairclips!
not only do i buy tops and shoes, now i buy lots of hair stuff too!

in case you were wondering why i'm so silly as to buy so many of the same clips in different colours, well, i actually only bought 2 butterfly clips (green and pink), the yellow one was given to me free by the kind seller who said the green one had a slight defect.

if only all sellers were like that!
the internet would be a fabulous place to trade and sell :)


Bubble shorts with suspenders, polka dot smocked babydoll, Hollister look-alike shorts.

i noticed my buys tend to be repeated!
argh, what's wrong with me???


here's how the bubble shorts+suspenders look on me.
was hesitant on buying this when i was trying it in the fitting room.


Tee from Zara!

i'm now on a temporary shopping ban!

let's look at good food now!
i can ban myself from shopping but i can NEVER ban myself from food!

lots of good food do not cost much, i enjoy the luxury of having really delicious food without hurting my wallet much.


The hawker centre opposite Parkway Parade (the one next to Mac's) serves some really good food.
Like the famous Apollo Fried Kuay Teow which is the best i've had in Singapore.
They've been around for years and even have their own special spoon to scoop up the kuay teow!
Very tasty and moist!

Hokkien mee is great too!


Porridge at Chang Cheng, Chinatown. (near Lucky Chinatown)
this stall is rather famous and opens 24 hours (i think, either this or opens till late)
try their fried intestines, i don't like this but many others do.
and their toufu.

besides Chang Cheng, i like Maxwell Market's Porridge too!
their toufu is super soft and melts in the mouth!!

Wondering where to eat during the weekends?
why not head to Muthu's Curry to spice up your mood!


Their signature South Indian Fish Head Curry is potent and is arguably the best Indian styled Fish Head Curry in Singapore.
It's definitely a 'must-try!'

The other dish is the Masala Chicken.
a hearty dish of chicken cooked in thick, spicy paste.

besides these, you can try their other North/South Indian dishes like Naans, Flower Crabs, Fried Muttons etc.

The decor is Zen inspired and gives me a really comfortable feel :)
it's located at Race Course Road, and they have a newly opened branch at the basement of Suntec City.


Right, it's my snack of the month.
i've been hiding this in my room, indulging in it whenever my teeth wants to bite something.

made from real potatoes + real cheddar cheese.
definitely a blast for potatoes and cheese lovers.

tomorrow when i get home, i'm going to continue with my new addiction, The Sims 2 on PS 2 and my favourite snack.

you can find it in NTUC Fairprice.

OK, shall post pics of some of my recent buys.


Mineral eye make up.



cute bubble shorts in chilli red!
it comes with the polka dot belt.
i likey!





Have a fabulous weekend!

My actual birthday celebration

i had a reeeeally simple celebration on my actual day, 31st August (don't forget ah!)
large celebrations are exhilarating and fun.
simple celebrations entices me very much too :)



i had a hearty feast!
crocodile soup was fiesty and buddha jump over the wall was simply appetizing.
not forgetting the endless flow of sashimi, fresh oysters, crabs, teppanyaki and my all time favourite, i-scream!

(p.s i made a mistake on the label of the picture, i actually had my feast at Vienna, not Paris)

we chose Vienna cuz i have never tried it before and we don't know which cuisine to choose from so we set out minds on international buffet where they have all kinds of cuisines.

Caught The Devil Wears Prada
Great movie with a great plot, very realistic with a gentle breeze of romance.
Anna Hathaway is gorgeous with red lipstick and those stylish designer clothes.

Dinner at Chinatown.
i feel like a pig.
my whole life is revolving around food.

This will be quite a hectic week for me.
i'm finally gonna move!- to the heart of the city, now i'm near almost everywhere :)
and my new place is just 3 mins walk away from the MRT station (just like my current place)
i'm so used to living next to the MRT for convenience's sake.
meeting the contractor tomorrow and will be busy buying furniture and throwing stuff out for the next 2 weeks or so.


Bye!

i'll turn 24 in around 15 minutes!

don't you find that as you grow older, birthdays are nothing special anymore?
to me it's just another day, maybe a more memorable one than any other day.

i received another gift!
this time, it's an airflown one all the way from Adelaide, from my darling Director Poh!

Thank you so much, i'm plesantly surprised by you.
so sweeeeet!
and no, the earrings are not old fashioned, they're very bohemian in fact and i like it very much!
i'm already thinking of what to match them with~


tomorrow will be a long day lined with activities.
the usual activities, in Singapore, you can only do these few things, it's alwayz the company that matters.

and what the heck, i don't know what kind of genes i've got, i don't look an itsy bitsy bit like 24!
in fact, i feel my appearance didn't change much ever since secondary school, that means i still look like a secondary school kid!

i seriously ponder if i'll still look like 16 when i'm 30.
i suspect i will!
of course i wanna look young when i'm actually older than that but at least look 20 plus when i'm 30, not 16 can?

My Birthday!~

it's been quite a while since i've really celebrated my birthday with so many close friends.

the past few years, i have been away on holiday trips during my birthday but this year, i'm home!

Thank you all so much for your presence and for making the effort to come down.
and apologies if i did not entertain well.
i was busy getting drunk but i remembered most of what happened this time!

Many thanks for the perfume, i love the mild, yet refreshing and sweet scent :)
Friends whom i've known the longest in history.
i miss kindergarden, primary and secondary school days with you girls getting scolded and caught by the teachers for doing silly stuff like gambling in the teacher's toilet.



You all are my peace, laughter and joy.
Thanks dear Jenn for the netscard, i like it alot and it's very thoughtful of you~


Jo, the organizer.
You're the sweetest :)

The rose was a pleasant surprise.
Thank you~

Madam Leong and the pretty alcoholic sisters (i'm saying them lah).
My pillar of strength and my care takers :)




The alcoholic sisters really live up to their name.
Ask them what they got for my birthday present.


Thank you Weizi for the cake, i love chocolate cakes!

and i have 2 cakes this year :)

for those who came later, i'm so sorry that i didn't have the chance to take pictures with you guys as i'm half gone.
