"I use my diamond to scratch your face"

i was about to lament how shopping doesn't do it for me anymore, like it used to.
for a long while i haven't been feeling like i'm spoilt for choice.
i get so frustrated that i haven't bought anything substantial recently. i can't define substantial. well, a couple of outfits maybe. three tunics at one go, a nice bag or a couple of pairs of shoes. i don't know.

today, i sense a change. a shift in wind direction. call it what you want. i'm eyeing:
1. a pair of Aldo kick-some-ass!! black patent pumps
2. a zara patent structured bag for sch (my H&M white one bores me alr. and it doesn't look classy at all.)
3. two bebe dresses to wear for my birthday celebrations
4. a warehouse clutch. so that i can sip cocktails with terence in style. give the girl a YUMMYLICIOUS mojito!!
5. a mango plain white tee (a girl can never have too many. and they stain real fast) and grey embellished bib top
6. a gap wrap sweater. in colour of the moment: GREY MARLE! yum.
7. zara fluorescent pink tee (ok ya. you know i won't wear fluorescent. but i don't know how to describe the shade!!!)


OH YES!! i've found my groove back. i am the shopping queen. and the faerie queene (bababa!). watch me unleash myself now that recess is here. well almost. "recess" is what NTU calls a one week break.

first up, a manicure on monday. after "Calling all Goddesses" (a pale pink) and "My private Jet" (a glittery dark grey), i've decided on a deep red. crimson maybe.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYEA!!!!!!!!!!!!

my happy heart

"What a day this has been

What a rare mood I'm in

Why it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face

for the whole human race

Why it's almost like being in love

There's a music of life seems to be

Like a bell that is ringing for me

And from the way that I feel

When that bell starts to peel

I would swear I was falling, swear I was falling

Why it's almost like being in love"

- Almost like being in love, Nat King Cole.

I love, love, love this song. It makes me happy, it makes me tap my feet and it emphasises that there's nothing that can compare to being in love. =)

the monster between us. the monsters that ARE us.

us at the Disney store, London. (inspiration for this post's title. haha. i think it's hilarious).

view of the London eye from St. Jame's Park

well, this doesn't really need a caption.

i see Disneyland!! haha.

men in uniform.

guards marching in. buckingham palace!

the wind beneath my top. haha

British museum.

i love my terence.

Really, really do. =)

live for the moment! is the cry of our generation.
but i always like to think that without the inclusion of sweet, sweet memories in our minds, there would be no hope for the future.

how can we live for the moment if we never experienced wonderful times in our pasts?

so, more pics of Terence & I in London.

just because I want to look forward to more of such uninhibited explorations and amazing fun with him.

school rocks. my mind is completely liberated now. HOORAY.

current nail colour: OPI- My Private Jet

thank you bar and mirror, for teaching us precious lessons. oh! we've
come so far together! (L to R): moira, me, joy.

(L to R): moira, joy, joann.

saying bye with a bang!

attempting a cheshire cat photo moment.

b4 you even wonder, i am holding a cd. dance is nothing without music!

well it's farewell to a dance room that we've been using for so many, many years.

we've laughed so hard inside, injured ourselves whilst stretching, talked senselessly, sprawled ourselves all over and most importantly, we danced our hearts out.

the dance room always will be our's; we're just being sentimental fools and cherishing the layout that we can imagine with closed eyes.

it's just a refurbishment.

but oh well. a few parting shots of us. cher, shanelle. we miss you. you complete our fantastic 5.

HAPPY 20TH FRIEND!

Happy happy birthday to Car!

Thank you for always being there for me.

This is specially for you.

You make me happy!

glorious, vibrant, splendid hues!

wish i knew how to use blogskins or whatever to change my template. but i'm such a technical retard that you can be sure my blog will remain as basic black for some time to come until someone really kind and loving rescues me frm the darkness (thanx dear, i love you). hahaa.. well, term has started as everyone knows. so many of us from crescent ended up in ntu and i'm very honoured to be part of tt big group. it means alot to me to be placed in uni cos i cling desperately to the old-fashioned and dying belief that a degree holds the key to a bright and promising future. poly was a disaster but at least i pulled through (so "coma"-sounding but my senses were REALLY dulled for 3 years). i don't miss ngee ann one bit. not my classmates there ATALL (there's a diff between classmates and friends..) nor the place nor the food nor anything ATALL ATALL. nostalgia my butt!! uni is rather exciting for me (i couldn't expect anth less coming frm ECH right?) but i mean, NTU's in boon lay. the travelling doesn't kill me but wouldn't it be awfully smashing if campus were in Orchard my home? my birthplace, so to speak? i say yes! but i sense disapproval all around. haha.. well, enjoy more pics of Terence & Rebecca's London-Paris adventure! the theme today is flora and fauna. from St. James' Park, Hyde Park and the open space near Westminster. the blooms were so lovely i was in paradise!! summer captured and encapsulated in a very fleeting moment by Terence (while i stood around unconstructively recalling Enid Blyton tales and imagining myself to be a garden fairy) . see you soon!

Happy birthday Singapore

"...these are my friends. we are singaporeans!"

Thank you for 19+ good years, Singapore.
