Surrender

My Mummy, being the best and "worst" all at the same time, called me during dinner.

She said that there at 70 cases in Australia, 3 suspected cases in Singapore.

She also said that we should avoid sharing spoons. 

Haha, she is so cute.

We love her for being so concerned.

And i am ashamed for "forgetting" about my family.

The minute we landed at Tullermarine, we totally forgot to call our family to report that we're safe. And Mummy had to sms me asking abt our safety and whether we were settling down well.

Ying Jing's serviced apartment is so clean and hotel-ish.

She takes good care of us, lent us her UBER comfy bed.

Played host, and i played back by bringing her to Lygon Street and Crown.

People here are awesome.

Diversified country, you feel at home immediately because there are just too many asians around.

Today we went to Monash, Chadstone S.C. and DFO at spencer st.

Traveling on their trains and bus was a breeze.

But damn expensive?!

Dinner with Charmaine at a Jap restaurant before meeting up the rest of the gang at crown.

Called Cheryl to chat but i think she's tired from work, meeting her on Saturday! (:

Back at apt clearing my mails now.

Tmr's plan is to heard down to QV market early in the morning, followed by St Kilda (beach), then come back city to shop. 11pm, CLUB. Shiok. Actually its already 1.04am here. The girls are playing on the game console, drinking to keep warm.

Weather here is good and bad. Cold!! Wanna sleep half the time, so have to buy coffee to stay awake. Damnit, my hair just wouldnt dry, cannot go to bed.

Took a zillion and one photos.

Bought 2 elephant presents for Luke.

Ed, Faith, Amber, Melly, Dine, tutee kiddo, Emily jie, presents done.

This weekend i'll continue hunting for gifts. The malls close at 5pm and its very difficult to shop. Thankfully trading hours for the weekends are slightly longer.

Got a pair of AUD49.95 velvet leggings for myself, tons of candies, stationery, AUD2 cotton on shorts. Tempted to buy Chanel 2.55 but tax rebate is less than 10% :(

Ok, i needa go drink some water.

My lip is as red as cherry.

''When I was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.''

Hello world

Best time to travel the world.

And then this swine flu just have to spoil everything, what a shame.
It's not even related to the piggies right..

Dunno if the family trip to Korea in June will come true :(

PostSecret

"When I really start to love someone, sex isn't as fun anymore."

Love yourself first

5.45am morning jog at the park.
Plugged on my ipod, did 4km.
It was a breeze.
I thought i might not be strong enough (mentally) to finish it considering the fact i'm kinda lazy these days.
I've this unsightly layer of unhealthy fat around my tummy. Not suppose to be there.

Godma was doing qi gong along with 30 other grey-haired citizens.
Waited for her to finish the routine, did yoga in the middle of the park. Ha.

Morning dew, air surrounding so cool on the skin.
Park full of elderly people, i am the only one of my age there.
Watched kids go to school, adults traveling to work.
Lorong Ah Soo infamous morning jam.
Sky turning dark to bright..
It's been a while, i think i'm taking too many things for granted.

Flying tmr, luggage not packed.
Jasmine and Cheryl and Yingjing said its COLDD. I'm elated because i'll get to dress up in coats and boots!
Ed's helping me with today's post office trip, very grateful.
Perhaps i ought to get a driver's license. Dadee has been going on and on abt it..
Bank in cheque, change currency, make a final trip to Emirates, pass Elle her online purchase and then i can sit down have a good dinner with Faith & Amber at Breeks.
And hopefully when i get back home, i'll be happy to see that i've more emails to attend to (:

Liz -> HELLO YOU :b i realised yesterday's conversation stretched on for hours! No, i forgot you went MP for aircon! hahahahaha.

It's a beautiful day

Mummy's birthday.
Indran's.
Yong Yi's.

Happy birthday. I love you, you and you! (:

Emily sis on the guitar.
Me on the ukulele because my violin IS OUT OF TUNE.
Eliza sis on the piano.
Together, we formed an ensemble to perform for our beloved Mummy.

Seafood dinner at Red House.
My first attempt un-shelling the crab.
Yummy!
Service was really good, they didnt charge us for the not-so-fresh-fish and offered not to have it replaced. Thumbs up.
Thank you Dadee for the good meal.

Sales have to pick up for the mini post!!
Intending to get a new watch.
My 21st birthday gift (GUESS watch) from Gerard is dying :(
I'm constantly looking at my wrist.
It has become a reliant piece of object i cannot do without.

Never let your head take orders and never let your heart dictate. You need to find a balance in both..

My England Sucks

The result of strumming the ukulele for an hour: index finger numb and red :(

Outdoor shooting with Charlene and Eunice today.
Was a challenge as the Sun begun to set at about 645pm.
Shots taken were blurry without a tripod. Flash did no good to the photos.
Hopefully the greenery will distract the buyers and increase sales for me.
Mini post before i flyyyyyy.

Photos are taking forever to upload (photobucket sucks).
And i cannot sleep knowing my work is not finished :(

Dine -> (: till the 6th honey!

Dinner at BonGout with Marcus.
My all-time favorite squirter :b
Amazing backdrop: Japanese comics.
I love the rice ball, pork stew with ramen was pretty good too.
Salmon teriyaki was fresh and skin was crisp.
Agedashi tofu was well cooked.
$46 for 2, definitely a thumbs up (:
Drinks at Iguana after.
The soursop rita was traumatizing.
Think alfresco is not for me, with the humid and hot weather these days, give me the air con anytime man.

Summer Lovin'

Wei Shan is my amazing customer, she made the starter kit i made for her, "her own".
Lovely (:

This collection a huge success with 92% of the items sold!
How did other LJs become so big when they started off later than me.
Args. I'm not earning as much as i should be.
How to buy a house like that! :(

--

Went EMIRATES office to collect our tickets, and got a huge surprise when i saw San Ying working there. Its always nice to have someone you know, serve you personally.

VS rejected my order again.
So annoying :(

Amandeep -> omgggg hi babe!! how are you. hahaha. let me know if u need me to collect anything from your boy or if you need me to pass him anything k (:

Finally a holiday..

Shanice is going to Melbourne next week!!!

OMG. EXCITED.
am so looking forward to the cool weather, shopping, food and catching up with friends! (:

i am crying.
i am hurt.

not being there at the wake doesnt mean i dont care.
its just that i cannot cannot bring myself to.

someone unrelated to me as passed on.
she might be unimportant but she was a fraction of my childhood memory.

it hurts as bad as when Godpa passed away.
and i dont want to prepare for the day Godma meets her maker.
i love her so very much and its not good knowing age is catching up with her.

thats why we cannot, should not, live in regrets.

Launched

Last collection of April, completed and launched.

I am about to faint from overworking :(

Here's a story

FUCKING HILARIOUS ME SLEEPING AT BUTTER FACTORY.
KNOCKED OUT AFTER DRINKING THE FREE ALCOHOL LIKE WATER :(

What exactly do guys mean when they say: " i think i am falling in love with you..."?
Is it the whole emotional chemical reaction thingy?

How am i suppose to react to that?

--

I typed a whole pile of shit.
Then decided to wash it all away.

Thailand riot, May's trip cancelled

Layers, different textures, cute bow, the same timeless tube dress.

Met up with scrapbook buyer this evening.
She paid for the Dome meal.
Touched (:
Its so easy to connect with people you meet for the first time.
Its nothing like the awkward blind date me, Amber & Ruth had with Mitchell back in Sec 3.
She even brought along her Polaroid to take a photo with me!

Okies, weekend launching collection.
Excited to see response..

Hell's Kitchen at midnight.

In the midst, i have to clear enquiries for my apparel biz, send out invoices and tally payment.
Am about to break BUT i am utterly amazed at my work pace and achievements for the day.

Now Shanice, drop all your work, just go sleep.
Tomorrow's another long day.

You believe in me, but do i believe in myself?
I want to make it big.
I do.

Another day has passed..

Loverly

Was packing my shelves today, found an old letter i wrote.
wish (triple wish) i didntve to grow up so fast :(

H.E.A.R.T. market

GROWING UP IS TOUGH.

--

Flea wasn't so good.
Rained for an hour.
Sales didn't meet my expectations.

--

I need to sleep and change my toothbrush.

--

What's with all the media rants on S Factor?
It's just a show.
I will watch every single episode on mobtv.

Duckied -> too many pretty clothes, too little space :( or money for that matter.

Frankie!!

Args.
What's wrong with me!

--

Went to check out TAMPINES ONE with parents.
Got so fled up squeezing with the crowd.

Tmr flea at Sculpture Square with Jun (:
Hoping to just sit around.
Its been a horribly stressful week facing my macbook.

Smelly Shanice

Butterfactory with Jun and Julia.
Parked illegally along One Fullerton road.
Drank hell of drinks (free anyways).
Problem was, i drank them a little too fast and i didnt have much dinner.

So, the puking begun at 1+, stopped at about 2.45am when i got home.
My head was clear but my body was just..uncontrollable?
One thing for sure, i won't be touching alcohol for some time.
I hate the way my tummy felt when i woke up.

Thank you darlings, for taking care of me (:

----

Nice dress?

Baking

KFC lunch.
Burnt raisins on bread.
They looked like blackberries.
But hey, it tasted good! (:

Smile, you're on candid camera

MESSED UP MIND.
fcukit.

Its really not that easy.
I try to give my best.
Args, why can't i just speak my mind on my own blog!!
I mean i can, only to offend others.
And appear to be the most selfish bitch.
Or maybe i am already.

TGIF

Very heavy late dinner.
Got thirsty after.
Kept drinking water till my tummy became the size of a pregnant cat.

MEOW.

Will be a hectic weekend.

Problem is you pretend not to know the problem. Or really don't know what is the problem.
Whatever it is. I've no time to deal with it. Wake up on your own.

Duckied -> its gorgeous! except that inner garment IS a huge problem.

Angele -> oh hell yea..havent chopped it off since exams! Its surprisingly not heavy O_o

Melly -> hahaha..when you're not so busy, we can meet up for a nice picnic (:

Hell's Kitchen

My teeth hurts :(
Super tight.
The operation:
I'm hoping a month before my birthday. Or immediately after.

Spent a few hours discussing with my supplier the upcoming designs i want to manufacture and launch. Hope it'll be well received (:

Met up with Julia for 3 hours of fun and crazy walking-shopping.
As usual, i didnt bag any buys but she did.
Wanted to go SAM but admission is $8?
Eew.

My mother asked about YOU.
fucking shit.
self reflection, please.
yes, YOU.

Faith -> im super thankful i'll be busy this weekend. the stress and excitement from the photoshoot and launch will keep me away from thinking (:

Naz -> ahhem, i've an awesome set of boobs lor. wanna see? :b

Happy April's Fool

Am super pleased with this HVV dress.
Sorry if the photo scared you.
Clare came down personally at 11.45pm to deliver the 2 dresses.
Appreciate it.

Today, i spent some time scrapping.
Pulled out all my favorite pattern papers, cut them into pages measuring 7x6", filing them into this HS memory binder.
Had a lot of fun with F border punch and TH's embellishments.
This book will be for my personal use (:
Aliedwards inspire me a lot.
Got my place secured for 2 album workshops by Celine N in May. $280 will be worth it for sure.

Completed all the orders, in a rush, prolly didnt put in 100% effort.
Bad attitude.
I need to change.
And chop off my fizzy hair. Its reaching my hips.

Its been a lot of fun with ZQ.
Im thinking..

(:
