Life's simplest pleasures

Life's simplest pleasures can be anything.

SL and I had a really late dinner at Wisma's foodcourt on Friday evening after a 'long' search for another top to replace the white top coz he thought that it was too auntie looking. (For the white top, had taken off all the embellishments shortly after I reached home that very night after SL's comments. He often joked about my auntie fashion sense.) Of course, the search was unsuccessful though saw a tonga dress at Dorthy Perkins. Looked pretty but I have large arms and prefer to cover them rather than exposing them. Dinner was relatively inexpensive but was a nice one though coz we had a good chat.

My outfit was a bit blanc and noir in between. (White top sans the embellishments : Lucky Plaza/Black jeans : Queensway Shopping Centre/ Bag : Gucci/ Pair with black shoes).

Saturday's evening was spent at Ice Cold coz SL invited me for a date. Beer and chicken wings are the best combination in a pub. Met a couple of galfriends who happened to be at the same place. So glad to meet them. However, I didnt wanna stay there for too long and wanna dinner/ supper coz I've not taken my lunch and dinner. The ensemble was simply noir and the adidas bag was bought in one of shops in Toa Payoh. Relatively cheap and love it coz it's furry. I also wanna to match the 'sporty' theme that we had for that day.

Here was my outfit (Black Top: Hynopsis/Black jeans : Queensway Shopping Centre/ Bag : Adidas - Respect Me/ Pair with black shoes/ Rings : H&M; Perlini's Silver). Accessories for both days were kept to the minimal (less is more mantra) by wearing a different ring for both days. Make-up was done with my latest fake eyelashes obssession.

Ended up at the nearby McDonald's. Was pleasantly surprised that the Happy Meal toy given was Hello Kitty. McDonalds has collaborated with Hello Kitty for their 35th Anniversary and there will be different toys given over these 4 weeks when purchased a Happy Meal. All toys have a stated year and there are 36 toys to choose from. Hence, each one is unique with the year stated in the packaging. This could mean that I will be broke and grow fat if I purchase all the toys given in 4 weeks. These toys are too cute to resist and here is the picture for you to judge.

Had a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Cheers!

130709 : Day of Reunion and Some Habits are simply hard to kick

Before meeting up with SRT with baby S for lunch, I was at Toa Payoh for a project. It ended at noon and made a quick call to SRT to meet her for lunch. But my habits of scouting and hunting for good buys in a neighbourhood area were hard to kick. Saw some clothings and tried them on.

I thought I had won over my own devil by not buying those tops and a bag till I saw a sale sign for shoes. It screamed "SGD 0.80!" Cheap, right? Of course, I couldnt resist this and ended with 2 pairs of plastic shoes. There were not many pairs of smaller sizes left. Here is the picture of my white, pink shoes and gold. For the gold pair, I bought at SGD 3 in a defunct shop in Bugis.

Went to Orchard to meet up with SRT and decided to have Soup Spoon for our soups. Babysit Baby S while SRT went to order. It was during this time there was a rude couple who sat and placed their food without even asking especially the lady. Perhaps, these people behave the same way in their country due to overpopulation and caste system. The lady's bag was even occupying my seat while I was at the edge of the seat. Couldnt comprehend why people behave this way.

After lunch, we decided to walk around. I wanted to try out a product that was recommended by my gf. Would try and see the effects. We were walking to Tangs to get her stuff and went to the dessert store in Heeren. By then, we parted coz she needed to go home to attend some stuff.

I went shopping alone. Subconsciously, I wanna check out a dress at Dorthy Perkins that I saw at PS but it was in a bad condition. Found another piece in a better condition but the zip area was spoilt. When I was about to give up, there was another piece available at the changing area. Yes, I was getting that piece. Really like the print and had been patiently waiting for sales so that I could get it at the reduced price. I really wanted to get a printed dress so that I could wear casually and thought the print was nice. The printed material was full of horses which was also the Chinese horoscope of my maternal grans. Here is my long-awaited dress.

Before leaving for home, had received a call from SRT to collect some stuff. Decided to make a detour to JP and saw Perlini's Silver was having a sale. Saw a couple of accessories and the prices were greatly reduced. Bought 2 rings of different styles. Now I could get these rings for less than SGD 30.

I guess some habits are simply hard to kick but I really need to do so with determination and perseverance.
