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

Shiok Maki - Wisma Atria

Had dinner with Twinny Love that day at Shiok Maki!

Shiok Maki
Koh Grill & Sushi Bar 
Wisma Atria, Level 4. (At Food Republic Area) 

Queue was long as usual but lucky for me, Twinny love queued up for us and when I reached, it was just nice our turn for a sit-in!

Ordered 4 dishes along with two cups of iced green tea each.

1) Salmon Skin
2) Shiok Maki Sushi - 2nd Generation 
3) Garlic fried rice 
4) Cold Tofu 

The iced green tea, cold tofu and shiok maki were my favourites.
I did try Shiok Maki - 1st gen before and I thought it was still abit better than the 2nd Gen one but the 2nd Gen one had its uniqueness as well.
Salmon skin was good too but just a tad too salty and garlic fried rice was rather ordinary I thought.

Total Bill amounted to about SGD39.00 which was rather reasonable for small-eaters like me cus I was rather full after this meal.












The thoughts and loves that Twinny Love got me from Korea.
And Laneige was the best buy ever.
It's so much cheaper in Korea as compared to that in Singapore.
Why oh why, is everything so expensive in Singapore?!



Managed to meet up with sis the other day as well, oh how much i miss her after this little one got so indulged with her new relationship. Haha, but nevertheless, always happy and proud of her. She's gonna start her SMU path very soon <3



The hypes and craze over Singing Bone , Limited Edition Hello Kitty.
I didnt manage to get my piece cus the queue was overwhelming and it was really insane to queue out to the main road for most outlets or to go Mac at say, 3am while others are asleep.
I'm indeed a Kitty fan but I'm not silly till the extent that I do things that are out of my reach or sanity.

My colleague managed to get it from some trade deals and so I could only lend it to take a pose. haha.

My Happy Meows~ 

Have a good week peeps!

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:

Studio M.

Decided to do a little surprise for the boy on his upcoming bdae on 3rd June and so I had it all planned myself.

While at home, all set off to go Studio M

Went on Agoda website previously and booked a room at Studio M Hotel to spend some quality time with him.

After using my Agoda points available, I paid almost SGD200.00 for a night stay.

I kept telling the boy that we are going to Sentosa.
So he was like "AIYA confirm is the waterworld la" (so i sort of made him believe that we are indeed gg to waterworld so that he will bring along his swimwear and extra clothes for stayover, brilliant me? hahahaha)

Check-in was pretty fast because payment was already made to Agoda.

Room number was 414 which was upgraded to the premier studio loft.

Right after we opened the door, this is what you see:

The two-storey view:

Jacuzzi @ Studio M

Swimming Pool @ Studio M

Breakfast area

Breakfast was inclusive for us and it was a buffet-style.
I think they had quite a reasonable array of food ranging from bread to congee to indian-style prata, eggs, cereals, cowhead cheese, fruits.

One thing good about them is that they have staffs standing at each buffet table where food was served so that they can keep a constant lookout as to when to replenish the food when it is running low. You will never have to walk to the juice area or fruits area to find nothing to take with you because there will always be something there so long its within the breakfast hours. Awesome right?

Had a pleasant two days 1 night stay and the bed they had is super comfy. Other than some issues with their housekeeping cleanliness, I felt that it was a stay worthwhile especially when the bdae boy himself enjoyed it as well. 

As it was GSS period, we left the hotel during the afternoon after our swim and Jacuzzi to town. 

In case you are wondering, there are actually shuttle service at the hotel itself that takes you to places like : 

1) Corpthorne King's Hotel

2) Great World City 

3) Paragon 

4) Clarke Quay MRT 

You can have the route checked at the lobby itself because there are different destinations ongoing for weekdays and weekends.

The shuttle comes every hour on the hour and the last service during the weekend is at 8.30pm.

So we went to Pique Nique at Takashimaya because we couldnt think of better stuffs to eat. Haha. 

My second experience with Pique Nique.

Had Norwegian all-day breakfast that time and so decided to try something different this time: 

Italian Minestrone Soup: 

All-day Breakfast: 

All in all, it was an enjoyable occasion and I hope my boy loves it.

Happy Bdae once again and I Love You Dear. <3
