HANGERSBAR
http://www.hangersbar.com/

The last day of November, and tomorrow's the 1st day of December. Time for shopping!!! Haha.

It's the 2nd time I shoot for their clothes! Really enjoy working with HangersBar because their designs are always so pretty. I had a hard time choosing a piece from this collection because I was torn between so many choices!

Let me introduce the one I chose eventually. I think it is very suitable for my style, and it's very sweet looking.

This one below is another of my favourite too. I love the drapey details at the side, which make a normal dress look more pretty.

Comes in grey as well!

I was torn between the above two and this lovely jacket with some puff at the sleeve. It's flattering on any simple dress/tee with jeans!

This pink top and ripped black jeans is very youthful don't you think so?

Back to being feminine, this grey dress is available in mint green too.

More pieces~~~

I bought this pair of jeggings for myself! It's not too tight and not loose, just right~ Much more comfortable than normal jeans. You should get one of this too!

It also comes in light blue.

Besides all these, there are lots more designs which I didn't feature here. Just head over to http://www.hangersbar.com now!

What I have been up to &
OUTFITS OF THE WEEK

To be exact, these outfits were last last week's. Hahah. This outfit post was delayed due to unforseen circumstances, but it's now finally up!

All outfits featured here are from my sponsor, theblogshop.

MONDAY

RazorTV interview at SPH

TUESDAY

Out with BF. Was going to eat steamboat, so I chose this simple sleeveless grey cotton dress. But I think it looks good too!

It was raining and crowded. We finally got a seat after some waiting but it was outdoor, under a big umbrella that was not big enough to cover both our table and the table beside us. Had rainwater dripping down my back for the first 10 minutes before I changed seats with SX when he went off to take food. Lol. Both of us were wearing super slippery slippers and I forbidded him to hold on to me cos if one of us fall, both of us will definitely fall together if we held hands. I rather try to balance on my own hahaha.

The steamboat was yummy, had lots of boiled crabs!

Went to play the catching machine and got this big doraemon! When he started putting coins into the slot I was thinking "aiya, sure waste money one, so big so heavy confirm catch bu dao." But~~~ HE DID IT!! Lol I think is by luck one.

Damn cute right this doraemon ^^

Half my bed is soft toys. Really love my soft toys!! Will take picture of each of them and introduce them to you all next time!

WEDNESDAY

Out with the family! Wore this lovely light purple dress.

Had steamboat again even thought I had already ate it the day before!

There was very little meat. I felt like I was eating vegetarian steamboat.

I like this picture of the veggies. lol. Like so fresh and green uh.

Fried fish skin. It's quite nice but cannot eat too much cos will have not nice after eating alot.

You know about the 5-second rule?

The five-second rule is a popular fiction regarding the eating of various objects that have fallen to the floor or ground. The origin of the rule is unknown. The substance of the rule is that if food falls on the ground, it may be safely eaten as long as it is picked up within five seconds. (wiki)

Found these two cartoons which is funny, demostrating the rule.

Anyway, in case you are wondering, the 5-second rule is NOT TRUE. There is no significant difference in the number of bacteria collected from 2 seconds exposure as there was from 6 seconds exposure. Okay, so today you learnt something!

For me, my rule is that I look at the place it has fallen on and what food it is (see whether it's a yummy one anot. hahaha).

If it's a dry food, for example, cracker, and dropped on my house floor, I'll pick it up.
I'll pick it up if it landed on my dress.
I'll pick it up if it landed on a clean table (home, restaurant, but not food court tables)

I wont pick up food from foodcourt/hawkercentre/public area floor. Cos common sense, many shoes have already stepped all over the place since morning.

I won't pick it up if it landed on the carpet because I feel that carpets are dusty.

If it's a piece of curry chicken, I'd deem it as easier to get bacteria since it's wet, so I wont take it up no matter where it landed on.

What about you? What's your yardstick on when to pick up and when not to?

I remembered watching a variety show where the host learnt how to grow watermelons. Now whenever I eat watermelons, I think of the huge amount of water that was used to create watermelons.

A watermelon contains about 6% sugar and 92% water by weight. It's all water! No wonder they are so juicy. I love eating cold watermelons, especially when I'm feeling thirsty. However, after you finish eating it, you'll feel more thirsty cos the watermelon taste will remain on your tongue. Nevertheless, I love watermelon because of the crunch and texture of juicy melons. It's just lovely to bite into one. Hehe.

I wanted to share about the growing process of watermelons, but came across this interesting stuff.

Quoted from Wikipedia:

In Japan, farmers of the Zentsuji region found a way to grow cubic watermelons, by growing the fruits in glass boxes and letting them naturally assume the shape of the receptacle. The square shape is designed to make the melons easier to stack and store (hahaha!!!), but the square watermelons are often more than double the price of normal ones. Pyramid shaped watermelons have also been developed and any polyhedral shape may potentially also be used.

I never thought that I would ever see a square watermelon. I didn't even thought of it!
