After the event, me and sis went to walk around NEX mall. Alot of stores + everything is cheap/economic brands!

Spot this shop which has the cutest toys.

If I could go back to secondary school I would use this kind of funny erasers!! I had such boring flag erasers back then.....

And I'd use this big pen for exams.. wahahah what a funny sight.

Anyway, my current favourite cartoon character is Rilakkuma. It's so freaking cute!!!!

Rilakkuma with sleeping eyemask.

When cover still look like Rilakkuma!

Anyway, Goodbye shitty 2010, Hello 2011!

Lots of Love
(for rilakkuma)

New Zealand Naturals

I was so excited when I received the invitation to attend this event. When I knew Jacelyn and Nadia had rsvp-ed as well, I brought my sister along and she was bursting with enthusiasm!

Picture with the girls first! :D

Imagine my surprise when we were served these instead of icecream!

The boss and the chef giving a talk about their sandwiches and wraps.

I had cranberry lime. It is quite nice! And also quite special to drink from such bottles.

I'm not a very salad person, so I can't tell you how this tasted like.

The carrot slices remind me of yusheng :p

I tried the sandwiches and I loved these!!!
Love the fillings of this sandwich, which includes yummy bacon and egg! How I wish they sell this at 7-11 instead of those veggie types.

Omg I'm craving for it right now!

This one has additional ham.

Another version. Ham & Cheese.

This one is something else but I don't remember what it is.

Steak sandwiches

So many choices right? And these are good for healthy meals cos it can make one very full too! I ate only afew pieces and I was super full after that.

Besides sandwiches... soups!
Love the bits at the top.

Pumpkin soup which I didn't try.

I like the one below. It is somehow abit like chinese soup.

Celebrate!

Trying to take picture of my bareback dress but failed. Haha.

Finally..... ICECREAM.

Nadia eager to eat liao but all of us still taking picture!

Borrowed her big spectacles. How do I look?

Time for games!!
Remember the rubber game??? The one where you push until it overlaps your opponent's eraser. I remember it was very popular game to play when I was in primary school!

Guess what these group won.

Yep, the icecream-speed eating contest!

They had to choose two flavours and they chose sorbets so that it is easier. So many scoops, and 3 person per team have to gulp it down!

This was another group's strategy. To squash the icecream.

They failed -_- They were the last group and was lagging far behind.
Lesson of the day: Don't squash your icecream like that. Lol.

The winning group's strategy?
To cut half scoop and eat it at one go!

Is icecream faster to eat when in liquid form or when in solid form?

Anyway, my pretty yellow dress is from theblogshop! The belt too!

梦抓不到, 所以谁都想要.

Yesterday I watched my very first episode of 破天网. It's a wonder why when we watch "爱", even though it's slow paced and draggy, we would still stick our eyes to the screen with interest, but when the same thing is applied in this drama, I felt bored within 10 minutes...

I continued watching almost the whole episode anyway. I feel that everything about this drama (pace/acting/videography) kinda differs from the usual local dramas.... I think I prefer how we usually do it. For example, epic dramas like 三十风雨路, 河水山, Together, 黄金路, etc are all very well done.

However, I like the theme song for Breakout. The lyrics very meaningful!

爱还不了
所以无可救药
多少人在结束后
用遗憾寻找

梦抓不到
所以谁都想要
而命运的网
又能解开多少

以为一切得到
却不知在网里绕
失去和拥有
谁能分辨得好

谁不想飞得比天高
谁不想挣脱天网的牢
最华丽的情调比不上那微笑
很多时候我们需要依靠

谁不想飞得比天高
谁不想世界为你而绕
最单纯的感动却忘了去寻找
拥有了世界却输掉拥抱
有什么值得炫耀

Advertorial:

I received some cute stuff in my mail some days back!

All these are sent to me by http://myblacktulip.blogspot.com/

A christmas ring! I wonder if they'll have angbao rings when CNY comes ^^ Can use it to hint hint the aunties and uncles :p

Check out my set of PLASTERS!!
I immediately fall in love with this when I saw it on their web. Post-its in the form of plasters? Cute!

There are also many other cute post its. Be the cutest in your office haha. Or if you don't use them, can collect also!

I've got a plaster on my hand!

Paste it on magazines~

Next, border stickers! Paste those triangle stickers on scrapbooks to create a friendship gallery. This way, you do not spoil your polaroids by gluing them onto the paper. Also, the photo can be taken out as and when you like. I think it is very useful! Got black color also.

Clear base stickers to decorate polaroids and paper base stickers to paste on diaries, notebooks, etc. I still reluctant to use them cos all so cute!

Next up is the jelly lens.

Attach it to digicam... Should be able to work for any digicams.

Fish eye/wide lens effect!
