Xmas Decor!

This week was a super hectic week as it is the last week I am able to clear my office bound jobs before heading for my overseas business trip this coming Monday, 11 Nov 2013.

Then again, I was in-charge of putting up the xmas decor along with one my colleague.
It was an impromptu decision on Thursday to head out after lunch to Metro to purchase the new xmas tree and decorations. We were tired beat because Sengkang side ran out of the black tree we wanted and so we went over to Farrer park instead to collect the tree.

And yes, we bought a BLACK XMAS TREE! Unique max.



Rushed back to office to place the stuffs and I actually had Basic Theory Test that night and by the time I reached the office, it was already 6.30pm and I was hesitating whether I should be going back home for a bath before heading for the test.
Eventually, colleague and I decided to stay on in office to put up the decor!

We were super Pleased with the tree.

You see why later...

Now that the decoration is up, I'm so looking forward to Xmas season again!
HOHOHO~
Whats more, I PASSED my BTT on first attempt that day!!! *throws confetti*

Gulps, before that, I gotta go on the overseas business trip to Guangzhou and then to Dongguan.
See ya folks till when I'm back... :)

Best Friends For A Reason.

Awhile back, my primary school batch decided to create a forum on facebook and eventually I was being added in.

There we were chatting about the days in primary school, reminiscing the many things that we have done together, having so many playback scenes that sparked off after the conversations.

Those were the days when everything was so naive,
Those were my favorite days being a gal of my own,
Those were the days where I found the friends who will stay for the rest of my life.

So here we were chatting, and I happen to find my pri sch bestie, Sharon!

Years passed and all of us went different ways.
Alas, everyone lost contacts and interests of how others are doing.
I mean, its always the efforts of wanting to grow up together isn't it ?

While chatting with Sharon on fb, we eventually decided to meet up and Cindy being my best friend, wanted to meet her too!

Dined at Soup Spoon and continued the unfinished conversations at Working Title Cafe over a cup of Latte.





I must say it feels great to have her back into my life again.

Even though it was after years, we still have so much to talk about, and the frequency still remains intact as it was in the old good days.
I guess, there is always a reason as to why you were best friends to begin with.
There is always a saying that "As you grow older, you will have lesser friends and those who really stay on, are the ones we call true friends."

And I do, am glad that I have a couple of true friends who have been through years, thick and thins with me and I hope for the rest of my life, I will always have them like how I have them now.

Also made a pact with Cin to sweep away our Monday Blues by having a gym date on every Monday!
Love hitting the gym with her because she is always a motivator and I am always so comfortable with her around.






Somtimes, we just need, to go at our own pace, even if it is deemed slower than usual because moving too fast a time, makes you miss out something important in life. 

Pre-Graduation Shoots + Convocation!

It comes a long way for me to really rejoice over the fact that I have officially graduate from Curtin Singapore as a Bachelor of Commerce Degree holder.

Went to collect the regalia on a Saturday which was the weekend before the convocation itself.
On the very day of collection, I went straight to Serangoon Broadway for my individual photoshoot and towards the afternoon, together with le parents and bf, we headed over to Gardens By The Bay for my pre-graduation outdoor shoots.

Presenting some of my favourites:























Le Bf bought the Curtin graduation bear for me which marks a meaningful symbol as the bear wore the same regalia as me =D It costs SGD50.00 for such a small bear but I guess, some things are more than just monetary terms right?

Was way too overjoyed so deardear took this photo for me which i posted onto instagram :)

"Guys usually go ORD LO, but for me it's gonna be GRADUATE LO! " 



The outdoor shoot ended after taking about 100 photos.
Weather was way too scorching hot for me to withstand it cus I was in crazy attire that is thick and warm.
Thanks to daddy, mummy for being part of the shoot and deardear for being the photographer of the day <3

On A Photo Journey - BetelBox to Gardens By The Bay to Bangkok Jam.

Instead of usual mundane shopping, I had a phototaking journey around Singapore together with my Uni besties last weekend.

We have discussed and Sof & Wira brought along their Canon DSLR while I brought along me lightweight Pink Canon Ixus 130. Was pretty amazed and pleased by my digi cam. It's not just an ordinary plain jane okays! See the photos later, especially those shots of natures, flowers and trees which are original from the cam, un-edited.

Had lunch at Betelbox @ Joo Chiat which is a Peranakan restaurant with beautiful layout concept.
You will know what I mean by seeing the photos below:





I love those sketches on the wall like it's vintage old memories drafted all over the place.







The signature home-made lemongrass that tastes superb authentic such that for someone like me who dont really fancy strong taste like ginger, i had to mix quite abit of syrup =X



And This is the AWESOME Laksa Goreng which i shared with Sof Sayang.
Had nv tasted something better than this. It costs only almost $11 and two persons can share this.
I wouldnt mind eating another plate of this if i was super hungry.
It goes well with their in-house sambal chilli as well!



We're on candid~

After lunch, we made our way back to the nearest MRT to head to Marina Bay.





While on the way to the station, Wira spotted some old streets and wanted to take a shoot.
We stopped and Sof captured this scene that looks as if Wira was knocked by a car doesn't it? haha.



Here we are, reached Marina Bay! :D

And I've decided to on the Sepia mode on my cam:
