Interview / Help me choose spectacles!

Image
I feel like this sticker looks more like a heartbroken girl waiting for her crush to call. But no, that's also me waiting for companies to call me back after submitting my applications and resumes. It's been a crazy 2 weeks of waiting and waiting and refreshing my email inbox every half an hour only to be disappointed. 😪 But TODAY. I'm going for an interview! I didn't prep that much, just answered a few questions in my head, read a bit about the company's working culture etc. I think the school's career lessons have taught me quite a bit? I think my class was especially stressful because my teacher from Citibank HR really drilled us every week on interviews. Each person had to have a mock interview + personal pitch every week in front of two groups of fellow classmates. So you're stressed because you've like 10 pairs of eyes staring at you. Going for classes was such a pain because of that. Every week for 3 weeks. 😭 In any case I feel a lit

Descendants of the Sun / New Phone Case + Nails

Settling down for a short 20 minute break to catch a few scenes of Descendants of the Sun. My favourite Korean actor has been Song Joong Ki since forever. Like maybe since I was 15 or younger. I don't usually like this kind of solider/war show but... SJK. I heard it's pretty good, so fingers crossed that it will keep me interested til the end! #hazeltalksKDramas It's been such a hectic week. My case submission was due last night, 1159 PM, and I think I experienced true terror at the same time. By 11.45 we had not even finished writing our script for the slides, and I was still collating the script and slides by 11.50. And then we couldn't figure out how to save the file in PDF format with the notes attached. I don't think I've ever felt like my heart was going to explode from my chest before. We sent in our submission at 11.57PM. It was nerve wracking to say the least. I spent today writing my Korean notes and then painting my nails! Yay for new ma

Colourpop Brink + Lumiere + Button pencil Review

Today's #songsession (song-obsession lol): We Don't Talk Anymore - Charlie Puth ft. Selena Gomez "I can't get you out of my brain" 😏 see what I did there. Ok sorry lame joke I'm actually on my way to a project meeting now and I'm 30 minutes late. And the bus is not coming. Halp. But since I have time to stand around waiting I'm going to update my Colourpop reviews. Or maybe just my opinion because I know nothing about reviews. First up: Brink. Like I mentioned before, I'm in love with this colour. It's a warm nude shade that's more red/brown than Nyx's Stockholm and its 300% wearable and I think I could wear it everyday. It's not a really matte finish though - I would say more of a satin-matte. Does that make sense? You can still see some sheen, it doesn't go fully matte even after hours. So when I press my lips together it's still slightly tacky. And I think because it's not fully matte it's not as

Only my size left on AFA! Wondering if I should buy these after seeing all the posts raving about this? Is it that good? It looks really slim fit and I have no idea whether it's stretchy or not, that's why I'm still apprehensive. What if I buy it and my huge butt/thighs can't fit into it? 😂 Anybody else has this and is also sadly pear shaped?

SO EXCITED!! Thanks  @yanbell !! I'm tempted to just go to the washroom to try them on now hahaha 😂 Good thing I survived through this morning's 3 hour class + presentation. Some of the professor's choice quotes: "I like to make people's lives difficult. That's my job." "Ok I'm just picking on your group now by asking this question." "That's what business school is like. You're all friends out of the classroom, but stab each other in the back in the classroom." What a long morning it has been. A bit confused as to how to sharpen my Colourpop lippie pencil though 😂 is my sharpener supposed to actually sharpen the plastic? 😱 Aaaaand llao-fix to get myself through Tax class: white chocolate biscuits, muesli with chocolate, and black chocolate sauce. 😋 Today is just a mis h mash of random photos. Me to my friend: I told you my shorts are loose today and you tempted me to eat llaollao, why 😭 ... But wait I chos

Day 54

Found a new type of bread for my lunches! I still haven't gotten over Cedele closing down yet - every now and then I walk past the empty store and cry internally over my lost loaves of bread. 😂 I tried Bakerzin's ciabatta last week and while it was very affordable, it was too floury and dry, with no fluffiness or substance to it. Maybe that's why you get what you pay for haha. And my momma wins best mom of the year award - she cooked me chicken fillets to use in my lunches because she claims that eating ham every week is going to make me stupid since it's processed food. 😂 I'm not going to complain because I get free good meat to put in my sandwiches. #hazelslunch Carted out this dress from #fayth because can you believe it I do NOT have a single black dress. I went through an all black phase as a teenager and then I cut the colour out of my wardrobe for a long time after that. Talk about extremes. 😂 Not sure what size to get because sometimes I w

Tarte // TTR Courtney Pleated Midi Skirt #OOTD // Long Black Cafe

Tarte now ships to Singapore!! I had NO idea until I decided to check out the Tartelette palette on the site. I've been toying with the idea of getting this palette on and off for a while since I knew of its existence... But I can't seem to bring myself to splurge almost $70! Also, shipping to SG costs a whopping $25 😂 Anybody wants Tarte stuff? There's free shipping for orders above SGD175! This palette is sold out on Luxola/Sephora ): They have a new palette, Tartelette in Bloom and honestly the packaging alone makes me want to buy it 😍 Besides the fact that the shadow colours all look amazing of course. I mean... Look at that packaging!! 😍 Maybe I should buy myself one as an early 21st birthday present? 😂 Or maybe I'll force myself to wait until exchange, and go to Target to get myself a Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow palette? Updating some quick #ootd photos I took on Thursday when I went to Buona Vista for lunch after school! I bought the TTR pleated mi

Happy Chinese New Year! Just had steamboat at my grandma's house and I'm sitting around amidst my boisterous cousins and family 😊 clad in #thetinselrack today! In my signature closed-eyes pose HAHA Time for photo spam: love the colour of this dress and the cutting of the neckline. It's the same as my CNY dress last year actually 😂 LOVE the lace details on this dress though! I rarely wear lace these a days but somehow the two new items I bought are both lace. Wishing you all a prosperous and abundant Happy Chinese New Year!🙈🙊🍊🐵🙉

Fayth Cadence Sleeveless Top / TCL Kirsten Bow Flats OOTD

Today's #ootd: Sleeveless Cadence Top from #fayth, Kirsten Bow Flats from #TCL and an old pair of cigarette pants from #TTR. I love love love this outfit, if I may say so myself 😂 I wouldn't wear it out on a normal day because it's a bit too dressy but because it's CNY period, so I have an excuse to do it. Now I wonder why I bought that top 😂 I got lots of compliments on it from my friends though hehehe. My mum was like "why did you wear something so revealing?! It looks like the underwear people wore in the past!" 😂 When I saw this top I thought it looked like Nezha's underwear too actually HAHA but I like how that looks. 💁🏻 if only people in the past had some way to know their underwear is fashionable now hahaha. Paired it with nude pants, so nude everything! Except my shoes. I think it's a nice contrast but also because I love black shoes. Not a fan of this photo, but posting it to show the side view of the flats! It's very
