Wonderlust ♥

; we're not broken just bent , & we can learn to love again .

my first pair of comparably more pricy footwear ,
say hello !
you probably already know that i don't tend to splurge on footwear ,
but there is always a first for everything .

well ...

actually it's also because i have the gut feeling that we were meant to be .

whatcha think ?

they are my first pair of litas or ankle boots (i give up on correct categorizing) , you get the gist .
i wore them out twice so far , and i'm not regretting anything , in fact i like them even better .
as with anything , there are pros and cons :

for one the shoes are very stable , even more so than my highly coveted wedges .
they complement almost everything in my wardrobe .
the most important factor is that when i wear them , they look good in general .

to elaborate a little on the last point , normally if the shoe's collars are too high they make my legs look fat cuz i have not so long legs . sad thing is i like those kinda shoes as they have this bad ass look y'know ?
so this pair is perfect really . the collar stops exactly where it should ; not too high .

the cons are cons that come with all high heels :

extremely tiring for feet if worn for significant periods of time .
more suited for pants rather than skirts or dresses cuz it causes them to ride up .

verdict is i still love them *content*
anyone interested to get a pair with me ?
 

2nd part of this post is to let you know about my latest addiction .

Ta-dah~
ok , it may amuse you that i've once again failed to capture food in their pristine stage .
(this time it's worse then a bite , it's an empty cup)
as with all food , my priority when i get my hands on them is to eat them , not to take photos of them .

so when i figure (after tasting) they are worth mentioning and i want a photo for illustration ,
the photo will no longer be whole .

anyhoo .

https://www.facebook.com/Tea12ReachSingapore

yup , that's where you can get this from .
tea 12 reach is at clementi ~ just opposite the mall and 2 (i think) stalls away from gongcha .

they have a lot of special flavours , read , hazelnut green milk tea (as above) , peppermint milk tea etc.
so far i've tried a total of 3 cups and i really liked all which goes to say something .

have to give merl some credit and a shout out for this discovery , cuz we tried our first cups tgt :D





our new matching leopard jackets in grey and white ^^
can be bought at jurong point lvl 1 if you are interested .
and btw , the similar faces we made are purely coincidental .

3rd part of this post ; more random trivia on my daily life .

now , if anyone has the slightest interest in writing a biography about me , this blog could really prove quite useful , i practically write everything , but not all in a straightforward-dish way .

lacked sleep the whole of last week (what's new?) and i'm fairly impressed that my last week's entry was updated at close to 1am considering that i had to wake up early the next day .

the culprits as to why i lack sleep last week was work , friends and my trusty wireless .

i am a genuine scorpio in the sense that i really have all the traits of one .
being contradictory and obsessive are some common examples .
http://zodiac-signs-astrology.com/zodiac-signs/scorpio.htm

and recently i have this obsession with words .
(obsession with pictures , words and people are most common)

because of this obsession , this is my everyday bedtime:

picture taken from facebook btw .

oh , i did the courtesy of doing one in my version seeing i can relate so well .

yup partially i'm practicing on my skills .

and if you can infer from the picture i did my hair in ombre ,
which so happens will be my new hair colour if i dye it !
ive decided i wont go for short short hair but probably still gna maintain it at short .

also , as so quoted by my friend , my lifestyle is nomadic (had to look this up , nomadic means migratory btw) because i bring everything to my bed to work on at times . lolol .

okay shall end here and save the philosophical post which will hopefully be up within the next few days .
promise the next post will be a non picture one .

kthanksfordroppingby :D

happy v day and new years to anyone out there who is reading this !
here's the deal , both occasions are good for me and i hope they are for you too .

on a side note , i suddenly have this great desire to buy 2 expensive items:
-watch
-ankle boots/wedges

but i'm not so willing to part with my money all at once , so which one do you think is a better buy ?
or you could let me know if you have any recommendations for something that is similar but which comes at a lesser cost . at most i'll need to save a little and spread the purchases over a few months .

so~ some photos to aid you with my quest (and add to my growing confusion)

i want a black and gold watch , formal kinda which i can wear daily .
after checking out watches for the past few days or so , the solvil titus one is the best so far .
i can't find the particular model so this is something close:
http://www.solvil-et-titus.com/en/ceramique.html#06-2557

this is the ceramic one which is more expensive (almost double of the one i want to get)

for ankle boots/wedges , these are some designs that i am rather smitten with:

http://www.solestruck.com/jeffrey-campbell-99-tie-black/index.html

i was pretty taken by the one i saw at lowry's farm too .
even though i absolutely adore my slippers , once awhile i do have a shoe fetish .

that about sums up my wants at the moment !

shall end off with my new year outfits :

eve
day 1
 day 2



technically not much dressing up involved cuz went visiting only on day 1 .
k that's all .
need my slp nao , ciao ~

wake up , if you believe , love is not a fading dream ;
tell me , i'm not the only one who feels this way right now .

and ...

once i start , i cant stop .
yup , that's the excuse i use to justify a somewhat picture post again . but you would've guessed .
heads up that it's not a total picture post though , quite abit of rantings .
to start things off before showing you the outfit shots ,

my WIP for a super long time alrd but for comfort , i'm almost there :
completed piece today:

how ya like ?
meant as a gift .

well , i want to talk abit about manga/anime for abit .
if you're not one for spoilers or even manga or anime for that matter ,
please scroll till you see 'spoilers end '.
** spoilers ahead **

being my usual lazy self with a short attention span , sometimes i lose motivation to follow up on manga chapters/anime episodes . when such epidemic hits , the reason is likely due to the fact that i didn't like the arc so much . to remedy this , i use the lazy (big surprise) approach- observing tumblr trends for updates of my favorite character(s) before delving into the series again from where i left off .

i haven't been doing naruto or bleach for awhile now .

well i like gaara and jiraiya best from naruto .
however , gaara doesn't seem to have any impressive power ups ,
making him seem weaker as the story goes and jiraiya got killed off :(
i like them badass strong , and alive and kicking in case you didn't know .

so there goes my naruto :x

obviously i like grimmjow jeagerjaques and zaraki kenpachi best from bleach *insert big big heart*
another thing about bleach i like is tite kubo's drawing style :D
cuz you know , artists always need inspiration for new art .
so far , bleach and katekyo hitman reborn (by akira amano) goes on my list of top 3 for character design .

and although not many people can see the beauty in one piece ,
i like the way the character movements are fluid and stances always able to portray the character .
just a word of caution that if you are not used to it , you may find the manga rather messy .

anyhooo .
back to bleach !

haven't been particularly interested since a year (?) or so ago after grimmjow was defeated , currently mia .
bleach has seriously way too many characters :(
however although kenpachi normally has really little screen time ,
the recent arc promises alot (bleach standards) of kenpachi~
so yes i'll be catching up on bleach .

couldn't resist reading the latest chapter (525) first and so here are some pictures:

kid version:
jet black hair is ♥
& i'm into kenpachi all over again .

** spoilers end **

i've completed my new year clothes shopping , getting myself a massive haul .
... fine , it's not so bad , just that by massive i mean more than what i expected .
so ... if i ever try to ask you out for clothes shopping during these 2 months , stop me please .

during this period my dyed hair has faded and grew out making it ombre looking   
and i like it :D
ignore the face pls , just admire the ombre hair lolol .
more new year dresses:
more or less decided i'm going new year visiting with the one on the right .
blue ftw .

to be honest i spotted this dress before at blogshops and was naturally tempted .
even better i managed to find it and try it in rl .
2 bad points:
super tight and low cut .
but it's reversible ~ surprise surprise .

one problem solved !
that leaves me with the super tight problem .
gotta lose weight somehow :x
yes , too in love with it i can't help but buy it .
have to conquer and have discipline to lose weight .

 another new year dress which i already started wearing:
and quite a few times at that .

because this post is getting too congested i'll perhaps blog about the other clothes another day .
and as usual i'll try to update this space every once a week .

until next time .
do enjoy your days !

 p.s. i think i want to get a pair of ankle boots .
picked by merl !
but i'm not very comfortable in getting shoes i can't try :x

Hello ~

initially i wanted to blog about something more deep since my last few posts have been somewhat picture posts and you might be sick of seeing me plastered all over my blog , but i thought about it ; and hey , i give up , i'm just gonna be plastering more . i'm too tired to follow through with a philosophical post as it requires too much thought which i don't really have the mood for .

(and the less you hear of my philosophy the better it is for you i think)

haha ! anyway normally deep posts are triggered by something which i brush aside quite fast .
you can tell i'm not a dangerous person since i am simple . take for example when i get angry , it's a simple kind of anger . i won't spend my time plotting on how to extract revenge or anything as tiresome as that (though i sometimes hold grudges) . i just vent it at that point in time and feel happy or guilty afterwards .

sometimes though , i think i may have anger management issues because i have uncontrollable reactions . such as i can literally feel the blood rushing to my face or rushing through my body , at other times i can't help myself shaking or beginning to tear from anger .
(luckily i don't experience the tearing reaction nowadays)

being naturally apathetic as i am; and even more so lately , i keep brushing my emotions aside ; that's why you don't see any self reflections in italics captioned at the top or bottom of each post like i used to do . at this point in time i don't care if i'm not being healthy , i just feel a little tired .
d'you think i should be bothered by this ?

ok , it's now time to show you my new year haul so far !

people get new year shoes but i gotz new year slippers :D

it's my first pair of havaianas and the favourite pair of slippers i own .

for one it's brownish gold so it looks gorgeous when paired with black or turquoise/green/emerald , which is currently the colour that i am enamored with right now .

super non-slip too . 

this is not really a haul , but i self-cut my fringe because i was tired of it being too long at times . 
two birds with one stone cuz it satisfied my urge for a hairstyle change .

possibly my new year hair if i don't decide to do anything else to it
tell me it looks nice and i'll be very happy :p

the first new year dress i bought:


all the dresses i bought are crazy short D:
but they were too pretty i couldn't resist .

here is my second:
bodycon dress i love !
as much or more than i love bandage skirts .
because it's super easy to wear with any cardigan/sweater/jacket .

after falling in love with turquoise all over , decided that my new year colour it'll be .
went ahead and got myself another one:

erm .
i know there may not be much obvious difference from the first one but here are 5:
 
-longer
-less richer in colour
-different material
-puffed sleeves
-pockets

see ?

i dislike puffed sleeves but since im gna be wearing my trusty sweaters anyway , it's all good .

my other 2 new year clothes is a cream top and brown dress .
no photos of them yet so next time .

cream top is a couple top with merl ♥ . hers is in hot pink !

bye now .

i really need to draw a crocodile of my own .
even though i got the feeling i may have to redo him 10 times .

♥♥♥

well , this is technically my first post of 2013 !

hope everyone is doing fine , and cheers to new happy beginnings .
the first few days of 2013 have been interesting to say the least and that's a good thing .
i dislike it very much when my life starts to feels stagnant , because i know then i'm in for a dry spell . did i forget to mention , i really hate dry spells and it is in my nature to react to each one with a terribly foul mood .
roller coasters are much better be it good or bad ; but of course , one can always secretly and greedily hope for it to be good consistently . lol .

truth to be told , my new year resolution will be the same as always .
lose more weight , eat less meat , own more pretty gadgets/items , start practicing on more sketches and complete more pieces for a decent portfolio , get another account up and running (blogger or wordpress)
but the day you see me taking new year's resolution seriously is when the resolution is to see the results of my resolutions . confusing ?

okok , i will put in some efforts to these resolutions since i like 2013 .

had a good shopping haul during the weekend which makes me happy and relaxed .
the retail therapy got rid of most of the rebellious mood hovering over me like a haze the previous week , and for that i'm grateful . by rebellious i imply that even when i'm unprovoked , i get the urge to do things in a way that will cause others inconvenience or pain .
(yup normally this reflex only kicks in when provoked , and not to everyone)

first loot was at cotton on , where i went to pick up a new cardigan and some basic tops/skirts .
and got myself a new fb dp as a bonus . how cool is that . hah .
wore merl's present while out shopping ♥

eyesight for my right eye is deteriorating and i find that when i wear specs it helps me to focus better , even though it has no degree . in the event that i need to wear specs , i will consider just changing the lens for this pair because i really really like it so getting a new pair would be a waste .

reminiscing my childhood i faintly (ok maybe not so faint) recall praying daily for spectacles and to be a boy . but now that i think about it , i'm very happy without specs and being a girl thank you very much .

i've been super into bandage skirts lately !
i got this pair and another blue patterned one . 
and didn't get this because it was too tight to feel comfy .
nor this cuz material felt too weak to resist my violent tendencies .

i swore i rotated this so idk what happened .
this haul from watsons made me rather elated as well .
hahaha because i like having new shampoo to use . and new combs .
the rest are just an added bonus .

ending off with the basic top from cotton on i talked about just now .
(the other one is grey in colour so just picture it yourself)

will try to update again soon :)
