To buy or not to buy

Image
Yes? Or no? 🤔 My heart says yes but my head says no because it's been so practical recently LOL. Historically the heart always wins though (case in point: TTR dress) 😂 I'll most likely get the black, but then again I'm not sure what size to get also 😪 EDIT: ok I'm getting it. See? Hahaha. Probably also going to get this top! It looks like it would be quite impractical (need more fuss free clothes for school) BUT it's really too pretty to miss out on, so I think I shall get it. I'm supposed to be jogging today but I injured my hip while doing Pilates last week and it's still giving me problems so I decided not to jog even though my mind is screaming for me to go 😢 My friends keep scolding me and asking me to give my body a break, so ok no jogging today.

Airport OOTD

Image
Paradise Dynasty at the airport today to send off a friend who's flying off for exchange. It's a good thing I didn't get to see him actually go into the departure area (had to leave early to pass  @mermaidsarereal  her burden GlamPalm HAHA she knows what I sacrificed to meet her ok) because I think I might have started crying 😂 I'm very bad with farewells and goodbyes. Anyway I think we ordered $170 for 6 people? First time trying these! I only ate the cheesy and the ginseng ones but I can't tell the difference..? 😅 Obviously not meant to be a food critic. But ok I could taste the cheese in the cheesy one but the ginseng one was the same? My verdict is I would just order the normal ones next time hahaha. On the way home now, be back later with OOTD and FOTD hahaha. That desire to feel the wind in my hair as I lie around doing absolutely nothing at all just because I can - and what a fantasy because I'm not sure when the next time I can do that

Day 29

Coffee Bean in NTU is having a 1-1 for regular ice blended drinks until 30th January! I don't think I've ever bought a drink from Coffee Bean actually so I decided to give it a try. Got the ice blended Double Chocolate! But as expected instead of keeping me awake during IT, it gave me a headache and made me sleepy 😂 I think I still prefer Starbucks though! Also met  @joycelynthiang  and had a mini fangirl moment? 😂 Got these primer samples from her (thank you!!) and I'm going to try one of them tomorrow to see whether it makes my face last longer! I hope it does hehe then I can buy a primer to use. And also! Colourpop!! Thank you  @yanbell  for letting me share in your order! Getting the Button pencil and the lippie stix in Lumiere and Brink. Hoping that Lumiere won't look too weird on me, I don't look the best in cool toned pinks. 😅 Ok back to a bit more of Running Man and then tax notes again because I'm sending a friend off at the airport t

Day 27

Omg, SHOULD I? The problem is: 1) I only have one day of CNY visiting so I told myself only ONE outfit and I already bought the TTR pleated midi. 2) I'll be in school til LATE tomorrow, so it means I can't camp for this ): I've never failed at camping before, so I think I've a pretty high chance of getting it in case it's wildly popular BUT I can't camp tomorrow and I'll be very disappointed if I don't get it! 3) Mileage wise... When am I ever going to wear it after CNY...? 😞 4) It's quite body hugging, will it look good on me or will I look like a sausage stuffed into the skin 😩 5) Am I buying too many clothes in blue and green shades? This is my general thought process when I buy new clothes 😂 I don't NEED this dress for sure and my closet is bursting but I do like it... So the question is... Yes? Or No? And this colour? And will I wear it after CNY (where to)? HALP! OH and ya I'm also waiting to see if Fayth will launch anyt

LB Clarita Culottes #OOTD

Image
Good afternoon! Updating on my weekly #ootd sessions during my Mondates with one of my OGmates! We were really unlucky yesterday because literally 10 seconds after climbing to the rooftop to snap some photos it started pouring. The rain was coming down in visible sheets of water and we had to escape the rooftop and walk the long way back down because the rain was splashing all the way into the sheltered walkway. 😥 Ended up taking my photos in the... Foyer? Not sure what it's called now but basically right in front of the LWN library. It was actually quite empty right until we decided to start snapping, and then suddenly a lot of people decided to walk past. 😂 We got lots of stares from passers by hahaha. Anyway, top is an old spag from #TTR and those are my new culottes from #lovebonito! I'm in love with them. Somehow I can fit into a size S (hallelujah) even though I think I'm putting on weight. 😳 I've had a couple bad experiences with culottes, and

New Zara shoes // #OOTD

Today's #ootd photos are just vacant stares. I showed one of my friends before I posted it on Instagram and she described it as "you look like you forgot something and just remembered." I described it as "soulless" 😂 This is what I get when I try new poses in the hot 12 noon sun. Not a good idea to snap photos in the burning sun honestly but that was the time I left the house so... 😅 I actually quite like this shot but it's so typical me - I'm always doing that with my legs. So I ended up posting the next photo instead. Dress is from #ellysage, I got it from their Ellysage Day event! It was one of their first manufactured pieces if I'm not wrong, and the colour and fit is 👌🏻 one of my friends even messaged me to ask where my dress was from! Too bad it's completely out of stock now. 😅 Paired my dress with sport shoes because I rarely do that! I've always liked that trend Vacant stare but at least I contoured today so my fa

Udon // RWB Beverly Skirt #OOTD

Image
$7 Pork Udon + Tempura Lunch yesterday at the new Udon bar in North Spine! What an expensive piece of fried prawn ($1.50). I'm really amazed with how NS looks now. It used to be just a really dusty and grimy place that was covered mostly with construction boards and the corridors were all blocked up. Now it looks like a shopping center. There's Dunkin' Donuts, a pizza place, an udon bar, even MiniToons and a travel agency...? My friends and I can't figure out what the purpose of those are. Yesterday's #ootd is the #RWB Beverly Skirt in Mint which I am having mixed feelings about. On one hand, the colour is gorgeous. On the other, it's too loose for me (and the smaller size is too tight). Plus, the length makes me look (and feel) really fat. Like, really fat. Also yesterday's lighting was too horrifying and I ended up looking like a horror movie ghost poster in my Instagram post. Maybe also because I was carsick and accidentally overexposed it.

New Buys // Din Tai Fung

Popped by the LB store to use my voucher but the item I wanted was already sold out in store ): so I just made an order online in store because they offer free express shipping for that. Also checked out TTR's pleated skirt, and then realized my new clothes are all in blue/green shades again! I was eyeing two dresses from TCL's launch today too, but the length was a tiny bit too short for me so I decided to give it a miss. Dinner at DTF today to celebrate the mother's birthday (on Tuesday) - actually the first time my family is eating this! I think we agreed as a whole that we much prefer Paradise Dynasty though. These are the Paragon exclusive mushroom dumplings with truffle. It smelled deliciously like truffle but the taste didn't quite match up to the smell. Love the shrimps in this fried rice though, they were huge and juicy. I love shrimp. 😋 I generally stay away from prawns because they give me a slight allergic reaction but I'll take shrimps

Day 16

Yesterday's dinner 😁 I think I've already forgotten the number of times I've eaten this/been to Supply & Demand. I think I've been there at least 5 times? I don't think I'll ever grow sick of truffle fries! And the Morning After 😍 I LOVE the egg in the centre it's just perfection. I jogged 3.2km yesterday morning and 4.3km today but I ate that and I'm eating Western food now. 😅 #ootd is my #tcl camisole and #fayth floral shorts!  Feeling a little tired after all the exchange hustle and bustle and extremely unwordy today so I shall not be verbose. 😌

Day 15

Image
On my way to dinner with one of my OGmates. I switched on my GlamPalm for the first time ever and attempted to give myself some loose waves. It obviously failed. 😂 In my defense I've never used a hair styler before (EVER) and I only had 20 minutes to stare at a tutorial and attempt to replicate it on my head. And then I realized I took too much time and I think I did my makeup in 10 minutes before running out of the house LOL. And I am starving now but she shifted our reservation half an hour later because she thought we would be late. But it turns out we are both going to be on time... 😭 The hunger is real. Can't wait for dinner!

Lunches // NBS Y2S2 Week 1

Image
Hola! Third and final day of school for me (I have 3 school days per week) today! I have only 4 hours of lesson (one 4-hour lesson to be precise) today because Korean doesn't start until next week. I think I must be jinxed because I missed 2 buses that would bring me to the mrt, the circle line train AND the green line train. All in one day. As a result I'm half an hour behind schedule. It has been an odd week - first weeks almost always are. I'm dreadfully shy and I hate going to class alone, but at the same time I want to meet new people. This is a HUGE irony because I always end up grouping with my friends, and the number of new people I meet per semester is almost always 0.  Anyway I had a ridiculous tax class yesterday - my tax professor is decidedly eccentric. He decided to use psychedelic nasi lemak in one of his examples in the class. 😅 And the tax groupings were another headache altogether. I went to class with my girls M, J and F. We intended to group

Day 11

HAI. Quick selfie off my snapchat because I'm physically and mentally exhausted after only 4 hours of lessons today. In my defense it was a 4-hour lesson, and those are the most torturous. I imagine the professors have it worse though imagine having to talk for 4 hours. I'm so drained because it's been a month+ since I last had a 4 hour lesson and my brain feels quite dead now. I shall work up some energy to edit today's School Day 1 #ootd! Oh I'm wearing Tarte's Epic today by the way, though you can't really tell much from the grainy selfie taken in my dark room. I do really like it though, it's something like a reddish pink that gives a very Korean glow. 😂 Today's #ootd is the RWB Kellas Blouse in Pink! I'm wearing size S because I bought it for the mother actually (then stole it to wear for ootd), and it restricts my arm movements quite a bit. 😳 I can't swing my arms vigorously around, but the shoulders fit just right. So I

Glampalm // Taipei101 #ootd

The delivery man just came! The delivery was scheduled 9-11AM and I even woke up early to receive it but it arrived at 1.45PM lol.  @mermaidsarereal come get it from me soon! Still can't believe we won one each haha. It looks so nice and luxurious on the inside! I've never used a hair curler/straightener before so I'm pretty excited to try this out, I hope l don't burn off my hair..? I remember watching this viral video of someone doing a tutorial on curling hair and then the whole chunk of hair fell off her head, like what even?! Currently cropping and editing some photos my friend snapped for me in Taipei that I shall spam later just for the sake of doing so 😂 Feeling very very annoyed with myself because I accidentally put my SFG top into the washing machine and it practically ripped the fabric apart at one patch?! I really liked that top and now it's spoiled forever 😞 Not sure what is more disbelieving- that I was so absent minded with my cloth
