Sunday Fashion Fix


This outfit is perfect for a lazy sunday out.


Probably a slightly glammed up version of the previous outfit. The jeans keep it looking slightly casual though. I like that the coat has a prom flare at the tail although I'm not a huge fan of shoulder pads. Don't like them cos it's irritating but can't help admitting they do add some sort of structure to your outfit. Love the glitzy clutch as well.


This military outfit will be nice play-up to a shirt-pants outfit.



I am in love with that purple splotchy knitted sweater. It's splotched with all my favourite colors as well


I think this girl actually looks a little like Sun Yanzi. I am in love with that flowy chiffon top that she's wearing. Pairs so well with the siren red overalls as well.


This outfit is just right in every way I swear. Right kind of purples, right kind of browns.


On the opposite end of the spectrum, I like this monotonously-layered outfit too


I need to own one of these glitzy sequinned dress. For real.

Rayner's 22nd at Sakura


We celebrated my brother's birthday at the start of the month at Sakura, an international buffet place located near SMU. It served a variety of food ranging from Chinese to Japanese to Western. It wasn't my first time dining at Sakura. I've been to the Orchard branch and Jurong sporting complex branch. The food was alright.. If you want to be picky, it definitely wasn't that great. However, if you are dining with your family, they probably wouldn't notice if the food was alright or fantastic anyways.


They have these number tags on every table and you could order chicken/pork/lamb steaks to be done in your favourite way of cooking it and they will serve it to your table. I ordered a lamb and it was so rubbery and chewy, I spent at least 15 minutes chewing on it before I gave up and either spat it out or swallowed it down with a big gulp of water.


 


This is my ah gong holding up the black board for Charisse to write on. I wrote the 'Rayner turns 22' for him cos I got a call in the afternoon requesting me to do so haha.


Honestly, these painty markers are so time consuming. I'll rather paint, especially when you're coloring in spaces.


The lights in Sakura, really really pretty. Probably the prettiest thing in Sakura actually. They had seats that were placed so close to each other, it is virtually impossible to move in and out just to get food. Very annoying.

The birthday durian cake that everyone claimed was very yummy. I think it was frozen a little too much actually. I'm also not that huge a fan of durian I guess. If I could have a cake, it should be in CHOCOLATE.

The Story of the Gyozas.

Misunderstandings are days where you don't mix someone who doesn't know her roads well with the notion of coming to pick you up. It is raining, there are jams, said she'll be late. 3 weeks ago, she mentioned that the gyozas at Sushi Tei were nice so you went to the nearby market in the rain to buy a packet of 8. To wait for her to come and surprise her with them. Then, you got a phone call and on the other line, was a very stressed person who had took the wrong U-turn and lost her way. She continues to be lost for 10 minutes and you're talking in a calm manner and offered to go and find her in the light drizzle. She tells you to stay where you are but has no idea where in the world she is also so you offer some help in directions. She continues to talk in a very loud stressed voice whereby I equate it to be of a slight shouting manner. You say very calmly, 'pls stop shouting, it's really not helping. I will go and find you'. I got the phone slammed down on me. Eventually, found her at a nearby kerb. She said I gave her wrong directions and that she got extremely angry because I said she was shouting at me. Also that, I had wanted to go and find her because she told me to stay at a spot and not move. Had to use my hand to shield my gaze from her because if she had caught me crying, I would have been scolded for crying also.

And here I was trying to remind myself, that I wasn't supposed to be stressed. I am not. You are making me become so. And now, you won't ever know that the packet of gyozas was bought specially for you.

Random Things

It is 2.19am and I am talking to an old friend whom I haven't spoken to in a long long time. For the past couple of hours, I have been staring at the makeup stash on my dresser and doing random swatches on the back of my palm for fun. I think I am obsessed with neutral eyeshadow shades. I need to stop buying makeup and do project pan instead. YES, I shall. I also have a recent obsession over statement necklaces. I am very worried about the red dots the needles are giving me during my treatment. I have skin that scars very easily which sucks. It scares me sometimes that we are such independent individuals. It is a good and bad thing I guess. My mind wanders off everytime this happens. To the past to the future. It only happens for a while and I tune it out by watching HIMYM and laugh at how funny Barney is but am secretly jealous at how Awesome he is. I almost forgot how it is like to have 'complicated' matters until someone comes along to share some with me. I have been living in a very nice and safe bubble. A bubble in which I have not been conversing to anyone regularly over the past 2 years except for the ones at heart. It all stemmed from being unable to log into MSN for half a year. So I gave up. I blame it on MSN. The prolonged cause of my anti-socialness. Am going eat ice-cream, mend my health and stop being stressed. Gdnight.

F1 Appreciation Party at Hard Rock Cafe

We had an F1 appreciation party at Hard Rock Cafe on Tuesday night. I had to go late as I only ended work around 8. Could have been later.. I think I only stayed at Hard Rock for about an hour or so as everyone wanted to leave soon after. Gobbled down 2 whole plates of pasta, 2 servings of fish and chips with alot of mayo topped off at the side and lots and lots of fries. I like to think that I only actually eat proper meals when I'm not busy or during suppers.


Believe it or not, I have never set foot into Hard Rock Cafe before. The only times I went there were to return F1 uniforms. It seems like a pretty chill place and the music wasn't that bad. I like the fact that it also has a second storey loft looking down towards the main deck. Should check out that place sometime with the girls or when J is back.

Here's most of your site ops people (:

I fell asleep yesterday feeling very sick which played to many of my disadvantages. Went to bed without turning off the lights in my room and in the kitchen. Did not manage to drink my medicine (which my mom poured the entire thing out this morning), woke up late for class. What a start to Friday.

Primetime Fall Fashion Party at AVALON


So a while ago, Co and I got invited by Nuffnang to the Robinsons and Mio TV collaboration party which was held at Marina Bay Sand's Avalon. I think I sorta expected more people to turn up at the event since it was Robinson's soft launch at MBS and definitely quite a huge thing.


I think I was just merely excited with the fact that I could wear fur that day. It has been some random obsession of mine these past few weeks.


Came along with free drinks at Avalon and a lucky draw number which I obviously did not win.

 

 

Met Michelle, who is now currently working with Nuffnang. I held a model casting before at Lasalle for our graduation fashion show and she was one of our models then.



The entrance into Avalon was pretty cool. It was almost as if we were walking into a spaceship adventure of sorts.



I interior of Avalon was much smaller than I had expected it to be, so for a while, we weren't even sure if were inside the club or not. The dance floor wasn't that huge and I think the odd angular shapes of the furniture kinda took up most of the space inside the club.


 


The huge chandelier adorning the interior


We got bored.


We waited EXTREMELY LONG for the fashion show to start. But it was pretty worth it. The clothes that they displayed out were very fall appropriate (: For every new hit series Mio were showing, Robinsons created a new look for every series.



This is the model that I thought looked like a clone of Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girls. I mean, you can't see it very clearly from this photo that I have here, but her features were similar to Leighton Meester for sure. Amazed and shocked at the same time haha.


Finale of the fashion show. Most of the models were really pretty.



Here's one last photo of us at the riverside. (:
