Virgin Face Spa

Had my virgin facial yesterday at Adeva Spa located at Paragon, courtesy of Melly :)

The overall experience was quite good as it comes with a simple hand and shoulder massage. I love the environment though. It was very soothing and relaxing and totally love the warm 'blanket' that I laid upon :)

The therapist was good and not too rough and I like the way she massages my shoulder. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep!

The most scary part of doing a facial will be the extractions. I was lucky as there is very minimal done (only 3-4 extracted on my nose and chin) and the therapist commented that my skin is very clean (So happy!Hhahahha!) so nothing much to be done :D

She was nice to compliment my skin but she doesnt know how to do business. Hahahah! If she commented that my skin is very clean, why the hell do I even need to sign on the facial packages??

So after the face spa, went for dinner at Sushi Tei with Sharon and it's been a while since the last time I went.

Maybe I was too hungry, maybe the food is really good, but I truly had a wonderful day.

Hope more of these days will come! <3

The most Awesome stranger!!!

I feel so so blessed and lucky at this moment!

I got my laces!!! Woohoooooo!!

When I first saw the laces on ebay, I was ecstatic! But later on, I realised that the seller doesn't shipped to Singapore and I couldn't even click "buy it now" and the quantity that she posts is a few metres short of what I want.

Out of desperation, I contacted a member whom recently bought some things from her and hope she can help me to contact the seller and she did! Not only she did that, she even wanted to send me a wedding hankie for my wedding!!

I am so so so touched by her actions! I had never ever met a stranger that's so nice and helpful!

Read our conversation below and see how great she is!

Dear xxxx,

Hi! I understand that you just made a purchase from xxxxxgal55 from ebay and can you please give me her contact details? Or can you please drop her a message and ask her to email me at "mywboo@hotmail.com"? I desperately need to get some lace from her for my wedding but I am not able to click "buy it now" as I am from Singapore and Singapore is not in her list of address she ships to and she is not contactable through ebay for the past few days.

Really hope you can help.

Thank you so much in advance!

Best regards,

Wendy

Dear wendy,

She's going to contact u if she hasn't already done so. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! May I gift you with a wedding hankie to carry? I'd just need to know where to send it, and what your taste preferences are (there are many kinds, from casual to formal, some with colors (something blue?) and some pure white; plain to fancy. Let me know! Did u say u were in Singapore? I recently hired someone who was born there.

Dear wendy,

1. Because you involved me, out of all the people in the world, for whatever reason, but it did happen for a reason.

2. Because I was actually able to communicate to her, and she actually answered back.

3. Which means that I was actually able to help a total stranger -- how often does that get to happen? It's not something I woke up planning to do... very cool!
 

4. Because ebay, which made the favor possible, has been my demise, and as a packrat, I have amassed boxes of gorgeous handkerchiefs that I planned to use to make angel ornaments and become a millionaire, which I don't think's going to happen, so I then decided to give them as gifts to people who are getting married - and I certainly don't know enough people to give them all away to.

5. Because if I give even just one away to someone I don't know, my husband will be impressed that I've actually moved something out of the house instead of bringing more into the house and he might not fuss about my most recent collecting for a whole day or so.

6. Because that would make me happy!

7. So essentially, because you would be doing ME a favor! Payback. Then we're even! Doesn't that sound fair?

 Isn't she great?? She's the most awesome stranger that I've ever known!!

Purple Obsession

My latest favourite color will be deep royal purple.

Currently having deep purple nails (first time in my life!) and now I am very much tempted to buy purple shoes! All thanks to online shopping website :(

The color is dammmm nice la! Just that it doesn't show very well here (I can't save the picture from the website). I so wanted to get it but am afraid that the size doesnt fits. Had a couple of bad experiences buying shoes online.

Does anyone know where I can get Colin Stuart shoes in Singapore? Really need to try on as it's covered shoes and it's not exactly dirt cheap where I can just buy and try and throw away if it doesnt fits.

Maybe I should try to stop visiting online shopping websites (please let me know more interesting blogs that I can read, it saves me alot of money!), I told myself I won't buy anything (clothes and hopefully shoes (already ordered a pair and waiting for it's arrival :D)) this month as I bought quite a fair bit last month.

I will allow myself to get just 1 pair of purple heels though I am crazy about the color right now.

Time to be discipline!

Bridal Gown Woes

Goooosh..

 Dear fairy godmother , will you help me if you truly exists????

Been searching high and low for my french laces and I can't seems to find it! Either there isn't anymore stocks or they are waaaayyyyyy too expensive! The ones that are available are selling at $390 per metre and I need 12-15metres!!!! Do the math and you'll know what I mean.

I seriously would loveeeeee to have my full lace bridal gown but it's so so so freaking expensive! The slightly cheaper ones do not have stocks and even if they have, they may not bring it in if they have the wholesale order.

Currently waiting for my thai friend to help me check out on the availability of the laces in Bangkok. Hopefully I'll get good news soon.

I am also considering to change the design I have in mind so I don't need to use so much laces but nothing seems very right.

Was browsing through the bridal magazines and saw these few designs.

Change it to a tight mermaid bottom?

Same goes for this and make some changes to the back?

I am really quite lost in terms of the design..any suggestions?? I want and need to wear a mermaid shape gown.

Also, my evening gown is half done and it does look quite nice, except for the fact that it's abit tight. They must have sewn it smaller! It feels so so so tight!!

Dammit, now I gotta go on a diet :(

Dinner with Mummy

Spent the weekend lazing at home watching DVDs and having dinner with Mummy.

Went to Bukit Panjang Plaza and it certainly had changed quite a fair bit. It's been a while since the last time I went and now, they have quite a fair bit of new restaurants in the mall.

Initially I planned to go to the 香港茶餐厅 located on level 2 but after walking around for a bit, we decided to try the 台湾茶餐厅.

It was the WORST choice we ever made.

Main courses were HORRIBLE.

Always 'jia jia'. Avoid looking at the camera but I secretly thinks she loves to 自拍. Hahaha!

"Lu rou fan"

It looks ok, doesn't it? It tastes HORRIBLE. Even the egg tastes awful. Super disgusted.

"Oyster Mee Sua"

It's not even hot when it's being served. Plus the taste is awful.

"Yan Su Ji"

The only decent dish.

"Bak Kwa Tofu"

You can only taste the tofu.

Even the normal Red Pearl Milk taste horrible! It's simply 'chinese-style teh with pearls' and it's the not nice teh! Gosh!! Think they should close down fast. It's a sin to serve such horrible food!!

How I wish

I can have my own place now and I can start decorating my dream walk-in wardrobe and start buying funitures and utensils!

I was shopping around with Sharon yesterday and came across these pretty plates!!!!

Isn't it pretty??

I love it to bits! I almost wanted to buy it immediately...if not for the constraint of space.

There's these colorful glasses as well. 

 

There are a zillion colors to choose from! (But I guess I will still stick to the transparent ones as it goes better with the pretty plates above)

Think it must be age. I am so excited walking through the kitchen ware department and exploring around like a little kid.

How I wish I can get my own place soon and I can start bringing all these adorable little cuties home :)

Lovely Sunday

The lovely sunday was kicked off with a hearty breakfast at this nice old colonial style building off Balmoral road (I didn't take notice of the name ^^)

Walkway to the restaurant

The entire place is very very cosy and certainly makes a great start to a lovely sunday morning!

I simply love such settings and it felt so calm, relax and happy! Though the sausage doesnt taste very very good, but the ambience makes up for everything else! I would love to go back for for breakfast with my darling when he is back :)

It's such a bliss to have a nice brekkie with your loved ones on a lovely sunday morning!

After brekkie, we went to baby's fair at Takashimaya and other buying some infant clothings for little Oscar, I bought him his first teddy bear! (Will take a picture of baby Oscar's clothing collection and teddy bear next week. It's all so adorable!)

I also bought this very very pretty eyeshadow.

Thanks to Mdm Boo's sharp eyes when she's walking past the counter :) It's a beautiful shade of blue with glitters on it! Love my new eyeshadow :)

When I arrived home, I saw a package on my bed.

My Juicy Couture Iphone cases arrived!!!

Their service is great and the best part is, I placed order last week and it arrived within  a couple of days!

The white one is mine, pink for Melly and black for Sharon! All 3 of us have the same cases!

Can't wait to change the casing but first, I have to find someone to help me remove my Kate Spade casing as being the kiasu me, I closed it super duper tight previously and now I can't remove the case. Hopefully someone is able to help me remove, if not I'll have to wait till my BB is back to open it for me without damaging it.

Hope every day will be as great! <3
