Youth Integration Forum 2014


Today, I had a forum at ITE Simei. I don't study there. However, it was pretty fun. I met so many new friends from different schools with different backgrounds. This forum was to have Singaporean youths and Chinese youths (from China) to interact with each other.

Review: Black Milk Mermaid Leggings

"This product is no longer being made."

*heart shatters*

It's no longer being made. However, I'm still going to share to all of you about Black Milk clothing.

I knew Black Milk clothing since I was in secondary school, so, that's around 3 years ago. They were pretty new back then. Not a lot of people knew about them. I was introduced to Black Milk by a friend named J. (I love you J.) She was obsessed about the prints of the leggings. She bought her first pair of leggings and told me, "Once you start buying BlackMilk, you will never stop. It's an addiction. The quality of the leggings are really really good."


Yes! The quality of the leggings are reaaaaaally awesome. They're thicker than most leggings you see at F21, H&M, Zara, etc. I wore normal panties with my BMs before, No one noticed the panty lining.


It's definitely worth the price.

I Love Hauls

Good day everyone!

Continue reading for a discount code!

I'm going to introduce everyone to this shop on Carousell. It's called "I Love Hauls". They sell a variety of things; pullovers, bracelets, iPhone cases, shoes, watches, and a lot more!



They sent me a heart choker to review on. The quality of the choker is amazing, a silver metal heart is held by a leather strap. It is adjustable, thus it is free-sized.

I don't think that they are selling the choker anymore. You might want to check with the owner and see if she has it.

I was so in love with her items I bought a pullover from her site using my friend's account (i suck haha).


You may contact her on her Carousell page: http://carousell.co/ilovehauls or her Instagram page: http://instagram.com/ilovehauls_ or her store on Tictail if you're not from Singapore: http://ilovehauls.tictail.com

She is having a giveaway on her Instagram and it would be awesome if you could join it.

Alexander Wang x H&M


After my 1-pm lesson, I went to H&M alone to shop for goodies from the Alexander Wang x H&M series. It has got to be the most bad-ass collection ever.


I actually wanted to get this dress, The sizes are one-size smaller than usual. Someone, please explain why. The bodycon dress fits my body so well but I decided to buy the reflective leggings and sandals instead because I had a little budget for myself. (Sigh, I am still a student, guys... But I love Alex Wang. I mean, who doesn't?)


I consider myself to be a lucky kid because I grabbed those leggings from a lady that couldn't wear it at the dressing room. I mean, what the hell? It's the last slot of Alexander Wang x H&M with no replenishes and I got hold of the leggings, and the leggings were in my size. So lucky, right? Man, I'm not sure if I have finished my luck for this year. I hope not.



AND! I was lucky again, because the sandals were the last pairs and they were also in my size.

Oh my God. Thank you Lady Luck.

After buying the two items, I felt so good. It must be retail therapy. When I reached home, I went to eBay and saw people selling them at triple the price. Wow. That made me even happier.


I'm definitely going to style the leggings with the sandals, just like how the model above is wearing it. I was told by people that "you can't wear leggings with slippers". Yeah? I think those people need to eat their words back, because it's a trend now.

The Body Shop


I splurged $51 on The Body Shop.

I even earned membership through this purchase. It was pretty surprising because I thought I wouldn't actually become a member just by spending $50. The original price was around $80+, however, after a 15% discount and $10 off from a voucher, it's just $51.


I bought three items from The Body Shop. Two items were Christmas specials: Frosted Cranberry Body Butter and Frosted Cranberry Lip Balm. Gosh they smell so sweet. It smells a little juicier than the Strawberry Lip Balm.


I also bought a concealer because you know, I went to Digital Fashion Week and they used a concealer on my skin and ot was the perfect shade (All-In-One Concealer 01) and I just fell in love with it.


Ah I can't wait to use the items soon!

Digital Fashion Week

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
Today, I went to Singapore's Digital Fashion Week (European Exchange). My school invited some students to join the event. I went to the event with a friend, called C.

While waiting for the first show to start, there were many people that were dressed up from head to toe. Everyone looked beautiful. I felt a little bit intimidated because I was wearing "casual" "street-wear". C was wearing a pretty black dress that looked a little bit formal.


The event was at National Design Centre, so, it's a pretty artsy fartsy place. The building sells a lot of works done by local artists. I recognized some works because I always went to art fleas. I'm not sure, but I think the place that sells the goodies is called Kapok. I saw Feist Heist items, YesahYesah items, and many more. Gosh. Feist Heist definitely caught my eye first. As you guys know, I love love loveeeee monochrome. I love layering as well. So, it's currently my favourite store.


After walking for a little while, C got tired. So, we decided to head outside the building to get some refreshments. Hahaha, Fiji Water.

Here are my thoughts on Fiji Water. It is expensive water. But, it's just water. BUT, when I got back home, my dad argued that it's "waters from Fiji island" and "clear natural spring water filtered by awesome forests". Okay, fine, Dad. But, I still think it's just water that rich people drink.




While hanging out around the refreshments, a guy recognized me and asked me to come over. He was selling ZIIIRO watches. I don't recognize him at all actually. He told me he knows that I like As I Lay Dying because he saw me wear their t-shirt before. Yes, I'm a metal head. I don't look like one, but I need metal in order to study. METAL RULES!!!!! 

C actually knew that he's from Temasek Polytechnic and knows his life story. Pretty shocked when she said that. While C and the guy were talking, I went to grab a shot of vodka. Oh my GOD. I have never drank vodka before. It tasted so bitter. However, after a while, I got used to the bitterness and actually liked it. Surprisingly, I didn't get drunk even though it's my first time drinking vodka.


C and I had lunch at a nearby TCC and my Triple Shrooms Baked Rice is just freaking plain cheesy awesome. It's the best thing evaaaa. However, I'm not really satisfied about their service though. It's kind of shitty. Just go there for the food, guys, go there for the food..

OH, and, after lunch, I had a freaking make-over at The Body Shop's booth. The make-up artist put some concealer on my face and some red lipstick. C told me the lipstick colour suited my skin tone. That's great. I'm planning to get the concealer because I can really see the difference with the concealer and without the concealer. (Note to self: It's the concealer that is the fairest of ALL)

Here's a selfie after my make-over:


Oh and yes, that is my pretty friend.

I also met a fashion blogger, Willabelle. (Fangirling mode: ON)


She told me I looked cute. Gaaah so happy. I didn't get a chance to see the other bloggers though, because I went  off after the second fashion show.

I met some new friends as well. They are also from the same school as I. I cannot wait to see them around in school.

Peace :)

60 Years of Made In Italy

Today, I wore a dress from Ming Hui's shop. She sells female clothings at an extremely cheap price. It is always less than $10. Quote "preservexshopmh" for another additional 10% off! Yes, you can use this code even at clothes that are on sale.

You may view her items on Carousell: http://carousell.co/limminghui9909. She has served hundreds of customers and she is extremely friendly as well.

She also updates on surprise sales on her instagram: http://instagram.com/shopwithminghui


Anyways, I went for a small exhibit today at Scotts Square. S and I were expecting it to be a museum filled with a lot of clothes. It wasn't. It was rather disappointing. We needed to take pictures in order to prove that we did go to the exhibit (so that we get points for attendance). Thus, after a short photo shoot at the exhibit, we went to Tangs.


I found this dividers really attractive. It's gold-coated and it's a vanity divider. So cute. I definitely will get a pair when I get my own house. We decided to go to a Movember Flea (support mustaches!) at People's Park Complex. It was hosted by The Local People Singapore.

We took a bus from Tangs. I bought a few stickers at the flea from a few local artists. I support local art and I want Singaporeans to see art in a different way. Most Singaporeans think that it is more practical to work on a real business, for example, working in an office. Or, some traditional parents will want their children to pursue in Sciences/Law/Engineering.


After walking around for some time, S and I decided to get some drinks. We bought this SOI 55 Thai Milk Tea before the queue got long. Yes, the queues for food are really long. Singaporeans are mostly foodies and when they see a long queue, they immediately think that it's definitely good food. I haven't seen milk tea that is orange-red before, thus I tried it out. It's pretty good. It tastes like milk tea. But I wonder what they put inside the milk tea to make it orangey...


The Movember Flea definitely helped opened my eyes towards art and the future of Singapore art.

Oh, I also met new friends! Such as the owners of the stores. They recognized me as "preserve" on Instagram. (Do follow me if you'd like! :)) I also met an online friend which also loves art. Her name is K. K has the same fashion sense as I do.

I am happy that today went extremely well.

Peace!

Happy Halloween


After school, IL told my class to stay back to eat her birthday cake made by AL. We didn't have tissues, so we used our hands to eat the cake. The problem is, the cake was the tumblr M&M and Kit Kat cake. #foodporn


I stole this picture from Google. The cake looks exactly like the image above though. Except, the kit-kats were dropping and the M&Ms were falling everywhere.

It's so good, it feels like guilty pleasure. It was my dinner. However, my hands were covered in chocolate even before I finished the cake. My hands smelled like chocolate. I licked my fingers clean before heading to the toilet to wash my hands. Anyways, I hoped IL enjoyed her day and also liked The Face Shop paper bag that I gave her. (Hahaha there's something inside.)


Happy Birthday IL.

OCPD: Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder


Bucket Hat from: KYC Vintage

Hello everyone. I have slight OCPD. OCPD and OCD is actually pretty different. I mean, although we sound like the same thing, it's still different. People with OCD have behaviours that are unwanted and unhealthy. However, people with OCPD are told to be rational and desirable. People with OCPD are perfectionists.

I am a perfectionist. Sometimes I love to be a perfectionist. Sometimes I hate it because I find it so troublesome. Sometimes, when I am so tired, but my work is imperfect, I wouldn't sleep. I need my work to be perfectly done, neat and tidy. I also follow a daily routine. If I failed to follow it, I will be unhappy for the night.

The clothes I wear must also match. My closet must fulfill a theme. My clothes must be in white, black, grey, dark blue, dark green or brown. Clothes that doesn't fit into my closet will be sold or donated. The photos I take must be in the highest quality as possible. My instagram feed must be consistent. If I don't feel that my photos match my feed, I will delete them.

Is this still called "slight OCPD"? I am not sure anymore.

Optimist


I was never an optimist. I never looked at things the way other people did. I had depression before. It was a silent depression. No one knew about it till I suddenly raged on one night. I punched the wall till my knuckles bled. It's kind of sad to look back in time. I'm fine now though. I'm happy. I'm going to change the topic.

I turned 6 years old on Twitter! I received this in my e-mail telling me that I've been on Twitter since I was in Secondary 1. (I'm 18 now, studying in TP.)


I wonder what my first tweet was...

WLC Shop

Something funny actually happened when I was on my way home. I was sitting alone in the train when suddenly, a guy sat beside me. There were a lot of empty seats, but he chose to sit next to me. So, I took a glance at him. He was wearing a white bucket hat and has an enlarged earlobe. While, I, on the other hand, was wearing a black bucket hat.

He was also wearing a black pullover. I, was wearing a grey pullover.

The whole time when he was sitting next to me, I felt like we were some yin yang couple. When the train stopped at the next station, more people came into the train cabin. Three ladies sat directly opposite to us. They kept smiling at us. They must be thinking that we look cute or something (but actually we're strangers).

I was "on my earphones". Well, why did I use those bunny ears? Because, I was on my earphones, except, the music wasn't loud enough to muffle the sounds from my surroundings. I can still hear people's conversations.

To be honest, I heard the whole conversation the three ladies had. They were smiling because they thought we are a cute couple and we're like, "one black and one white". And they also talked about us (me and the guy), not talking even when we're out together. Um. The guy was on his earphones too. And he just kept looking at his phone. I guess that's why the three ladies were commenting on that.

Anyways, when it reached the train station I was heading to, I stood up and walked off. The smile on the three ladies disappeared. Instead, they looked confused. They thought I was on a date with the bucket hat guy.

How funny.

EH, DON'T GO AWAY YET. I've good deals to share!


"Buy one for $7, two for $13!"

I've collaborated with WLCSHOP on Instagram. The owner had kindly sent me two items to review on. The first item is a choker. It's a really simple velvet choker with a small silver accent on it. Okay, guys, I'm a huge minimal freak. This choker is definitely, I repeat, definitely, the Staple Piece in my choker collection.

The second item she sent me is a necklace with a colour-changing pendant. I don't know why it's not showing in the main picture above but here's more pretty pictures of the pendant.


It's so frigging pretty. It's prettier in real life. They have two lockers in Hako at Serangoon Nex Mall (Basement 2). Head down there and you can see those colour-changing babies for yourself.

If Serangoon is too far for you, they have fleas at *Scape (near 313 Somerset) occasionally. I actually went there with my friend once. My friend bought a heart choker while I bought a skeleton necklace. We only paid $6.50 each instead of $7 each as it was $13 for 2. The owner is extremely friendly. I think I saw her mother as well. (AHHAHAHAHA)

Well, if you ain't got no time to travel so far, you can visit their Carousell at this link: http://www.carousell.co/wlcshop. They will mail your items directly to your house.

Also, do follow their instagram http://instagram.com/wlcshop for updates on fleas and sales!

If you got something from WLCSHOP because you read my post, please let them know! It'll show that I did my job ya.

Minimal Fashion

I was going through some fashion magazine and saw this extremely attractive pair of sandals.


Ann Demeulemeester Black Bistrap Sandals $801

So pretty.

I stopped flipping the magazine when I saw this on a model. I want this pair of sandals.

It looks like a pair of sandals which I can wear with any outfit. I can even wear these with sweatpants. I can wear this to the supermarket. I can wear this to the beach. I can wear this ANYWHERE!

I want it.

I won



So I woke up on a nice Saturday morning, and when I checked my phone, I received notifications from A List SG that I won. They tagged me in the photo. They DM-ed my instagram. They also posted a photo in their instagram. I was so thrilled.

For the first few minutes, I was jumping around. And after jumping, the pain from my sprained ankle came. (I sprained my ankle yesterday. Want to know what happened? Click here.) Excitement actually made my pain go away (for a while, before it came back).

Is this even real? I mean, what the heck? I won?
"Winner of a pair of tickets to Dim Sum Dollies"

The first person that came to my mind was my dad. I want to bring him there. I like my dad more than my mom. I don't know why. I feel that I can connect to him more. My mom just keeps screaming and stuff when I talk to her about art. But I do not have any problems talking to my mom. I don't have any family problems. It's just because, Dim Sum Dollies is a musical, which is related to art. I don't think my mother actually understands what is art.

For other shit, like menstruation and girl problems, I'd talk to my mom.

Anyways, they told me to e-mail them my details. So, I did. I'm waiting for their reply right now.

I'm soooooooooo happy.
