HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!!
(I left my babies behind in HK!! :((( Hehehe my favorite's Ernie but it seems no one in HK likes Ernie because they never produce Ernie plush toys?!! It was always these 4. WHYY??!)
Sorry about the prolonged absence but it's been an incredible blur over the past 2 and a half weeks it's really starting to tired me out. Then again, most of the time when I find myself ready to keel over and conk out in lectures in school, I really only have myself to blame. Yesterday I spent the entire afternoon walking round Orchard Road, visiting some of my favorite stores with the boy because we (or I) just had this URGGEEE to check out all the stores (the sales!!) (that sadly appeared to have ended the day before on Sunday -___-) before it was too late...I'm really glad I managed to walk through most of the stores because then at least I won't be distracted this week by the thought of possible awesome items on sales racks disappearing under the hands of ladies with more time than I do...
So basically I was so tired I really wanted to dig a hole for myself and fall asleep in the lecture theatre.
I haven't had the chance to go through a lot of my holiday photos (Korea was SOOOOO COLD. Really. Pain-in-my-fingers-and-toes type of cold. O_O I'd never felt so cold anywhere else in my entire life!!) because the day after I came back I had to go back to school and I've been trying to catch up with work and other activities since then. A few words though --> KIMCHI. The Face Shop. SNOW SNOW SNOW. And naked body scrub. ;) Yesss, pictures will follow soon!!
Ok here's a sneak preview:
I feel like I'm ready to move to a new phase in terms of my dressing. I'm starting to gravitate towards the loose shirt + trousers look (ala MKA) but pretty trousers are sooo expensive. At least the ones in Zara are. Big question to anyone who can help: How does one with broad shoulders and no hips dress? I've been working on this problem for the past 1.5 years and I still have lots of trouble.
(Makes me wanna wear all black and put on a shade scarlet red lipstick.)

(Sigh. Makes me feel like dressing up and going out.)

So far I've come up with a couple of New Year Resolutions:
1. Take care of my body. Exercise more, eat healthily, rest more.
2. Spend more wisely. Quality not quantity.
3. Be PUNCTUAL (this has been a real failure so far ;p)
4. Love more.
Ok brain's fuzzy now. Sleep beckons.
Happy New Year to you! Glad to see you are back!

Welcome back! Happy new year! :D your photos are lovely! Ahh the sesame guys are omggg adorable haha. I want to visit Korea soo bad! Did you join a tour or just go on your own? I'm afraid to go on my own because I don't speak Korean, and tours are sometimes boring.

ReplyDeleteone of my friends is living in korea right now. she said it's almost unbearably cold and that's coming from someone who grew up in freakin' canada! maybe that's why they have such awesome cold-weather food (mmmm soondubu)

ReplyDeleteI've missed you!
ReplyDeleteI love Bibimbap!!!
About the MKA thing, I've been thinking of doing the same thing since I kinda got fat in the tummy area. I think the MLA look would definitely hide my fatness. Haha.
xoxo
awww mk looks so gewd there.
ReplyDeletewhat do i wear? i'm in either leggings or black Tsubis everyday. haha. except when it's warm then i become the very typical south east asian/californian type dresser and i wear very short shorts and flip flops. but now that you mention trousers i actually did start looking out for them. well when i start work i'll have an excuse to buy like every type of trouser in every colour :D i reckon we should enjoy our skinny jean wearing days while it lasts, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm from shanghai/san francisco but right now I'm in southern california :)
ReplyDeleteand yup all the photos on my site are taken by me ^^;; awww thanks! <3 I've found it's better to desaturate after you've already taken it, so you can decide whether it looks better in b&w or not, but personally I love b&w.. I think taking it in b&w is good if you're doing it with b&w film though :)
yayy! added you back. woo-hoo!
BIMBIMBAPP :) yumyum
