Hi everyone! So recently I've gotten extremely lazy to dress up and knowing me and how I take absolutely forever to get ready, I decided to scope around for the simplest and fastest everyday hairstyle that I can wear anywhere. Be it the supermarket or to school. So I came across the 1960's beehive hairdo...very Amy Winehouse inspired? Yeah. So I tried it and wow. I was up and ready to leave in 5 minutes. Amazing huh? Well I thought I'd share with you guys my rendition of the very famous 60's hairdo.


Here are the things you'll need:

Hey all! So yeah, I think it's about time I bring my blog back to life. I've been incredibly busy studying for my IELTS test and well, it went pretty well. Let's just pray all my hard work will pay off. Because after all, if I don't get band 5.5 and above, I got to retake my test and that means I won't be able to register for my course in October.



Anywhoo, today I took a couple of pictures since it's been forever since I last dressed up and well, I had an opportunity to act all pin up and stuff. Out of the many pictures that I snapped,

HIYA! So I'm assuming it's pretty obvious what this post is about right? Pfft. DUHH! So yeah. Today I met my friend Genestine for lunch at IKEA because that's like my favourite place in the whole damn world. I mean come on! The meatballs are to die for! While eating Gen and I came up with a brilliant idea. I was telling her about how I love IKEA's meatballs so much I want it to be served at my wedding. And yes. I am dead serious. So then we were just talking about how much of a great idea that would be when we decided that a meatball fondue/volcano would be absolutely perfect! So yeah. That needs to happen. Ahahah. So after lunch we grabbed some cotton candy because they were having some mini fun fair and IKEA so free popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream etc.



After that we made our way to the expo for some boooooks. Gosh how I love book fairs. Although most of my books are bought from thrift shops or given to me as presents, I do sometimes treat myself to slightly pricier book. There were sooo many books but guess what? I only got one. Yeap. Just one.



I got Tina Fey's 'Bossypants'. I am head-over-heels in love with this woman. She is just so unbelievable hilarious and witty. Right now I'm reading a book called 'Lucia, Lucia' so I'm hoping to finish the book by the end of this week so that I can start with this book. So yeah. Slightly longer post than usual but I just thought I should share my day! :) Enjoy your weekend y'all!

Hey dolls (and possibly dudes?),

So the weekend has just ended and its Monday again. As weird as this sounds, Monday is actually my favourite day of the week. So anywho, these past few weeks my Monroe piercing has been giving me some problems. It keeps getting this little pimple or blister or whatever you want to call it, right next to my piercing. It appeared two weeks ago. Took a week for it to pop and scab over and lo and behold, it grew back again yesterday. Like many people I am super stubborn. I refuse to remove it. I mean hey, just because of a little pimple you expect me to remove it. *Cue Cher's voice from Clueless*, I don't think so!

On to another topic!


I'm thinking of doing OOTDs on my blog. I feel like my blog is, well, how do I put this in the most visual way possible...Lying on it's deathbed, attached to a monitor, stuck in a coma. In other words, I need to bring this blog back to life yo! Hahah. We'll see yeah?

Hiya! So it's Saturday again and I've managed to find a little time to write this post despite my busy schedule. And by busy schedule I actually mean lazing around and eating till I puff up like a chipmunk. So I'm going to keep this post as the title suggests, short and sweet. So I've been thinking of what else I want to include in my blog. I'm contemplating on writing a post on all my vintage dresses, where I've purchased them and which of them are my favourite. Hopefully I can take photos and have the post up by the time the weekend rolls around. Fingers crossed! :)

So the weekend has rolled around and what a better way to start the day than with rain. Yes. It rained early in the morning and unlike most people, the sound of rain wakes me up. So it's not unlikely that I'm typing this post with tired eyes. So anyway, I bought this dress on Carousell and for those of you who don't know what that is, let me explain. It's this app that allows you to buy or sell things as long as you have an account. So anyway, I bought a dress from this kind lady. I was supposed to meet her at Dhoby Ghaut at 1.20pm because she had some aerobics class to attend at 1.30pm. So typically, I left the house late and didn't think I would make it on time so I told her that I would meet her at Parkway Parade later at 5.


Hmmm....I suddenly forgot the point of this story.


Okay. New topic!


Sooo, I've been thinking a lot lately and I truly want to move to San Francisco. Something about San Fran seems so...lovely. Hahah. Yes. I suck at describing. But now, Chicago seems like a good place too. Hence the title of this post. See what I did there? Hmm?


Hahah. So yeah. I don't know. I mean I don't want to move to a country that I can't even make a living in ya know? And that's why Singapore is out of the picture! For those of you who are Singaporeans, you know what I'm talking about. I don't think I'm complaining but seriously you guys, you can study really hard or not at all and you're still going to find trouble getting a job here. I'm terrified to be honest.


Hmm. These thoughts are bumming me out. Starting to ruin my Saturday. Okay, I think I'm just gonna end my post here. Have a lovely weekend y'all! <3

Hey all. So all I've been doing today is slogging at my laptop trying to write my compositions. So to help me get by, I've created a playlist of songs from random artists and genres.

So I have been obsessed lately with the song called 'Je Cherche Un Hmme' by Eartha Kitt. Uggh. How addictive is that song? I literally had that song on repeat the entire morning. Even though I haven't a single clue what she's singing about that doesn't stop me from listening to it till I die. Hahah.

Next song to help me get through this new kind of hell, is Justin Timberlake's 'Not a bad thing'. This song just recently came out in Singapore and wow, it's one of the most played songs on most of the radio stations here. Ugh. Talking about Justin Timberlake, his song 'Mirrors' just came on the radio.

So next few songs I've been listening to are mostly from the 40's to 70's. I have been listening to a hell lot of swing music recently too. Something about swing music just makes me feel like I can conquer anything I put my mind to. In this case it's completing these god damned compositions. Right now my fave swing song is 'A room with a view' by Artie Shaw and his Orchestra.
