Last weekend, Ben played at the Training Shed for the very first time and aside from the fact I'm probably being slightly biased, it was my favourite one yet! Not just because he was playing, mind you, but having the entire gang there was a blast.

This is a pretty normal outfit, but what I really wanted to show you guys was these obnoxiously bright sunglasses I picked up recently! As you all probably know by now, I wear very little colour, so a pair like this is perfect for adding that extra pop of hue without compromising my.. monochromatic integrity?

One of the first meals of 2013! It was awesome seeing everybody together after the holidays. Dinner was at Hotpot Culture, very generously hosted by our friend! Its a steamboat place but the cool thing I like about it is that everyone gets their own pot, so you can flavour the soup however you want. Also, they serve cooked food for the greedy (namely, me) who don't have the patience to wait for the steamboat stuff to be ready!

 A regular slice-of-life post, otherwise this would just be a really pretentious space. Happy weekend!

The reason why i've been completely MIA the past 3 weeks. But its all over now, so I can officially revert back to my mildly alcoholic, shopaholic lazy ass self and do absolutely nothing for all of December.

My birthday this year happened to fall right smack in the middle of all the insanity. Still, I really appreciate all the effort everyone put in, even though I specifically said not to! Friends like them don't come by all the time and I guess I don't really need birthday wishes if they're around all the time.



Butter, so I could be around Ben at midnight. I was actually super lazy and didn't feel like doing anything (except maybe work- gross) but i'm glad I went. The matteblacc crew had their night in Fash and it was pretty dope. Plus, Ben got me a bottle of Moet all for myself. Can't complain!







We went out to TBC the next day. No OOTD haha cause I just threw on cotton shorts (the kind you wear to sleep) and an acid-burnt top over my bikini.

I'm not a beach person at all, but we didn't leave the house until 5pm and I've been meaning to try their truffle fries anyway. Thank you sweetheart, for dragging me out of the house and for that awesome dinner. That burger was exactly what I needed after surviving on kaya toast for two weeks.



Proof that my friends do not listen to me. AT ALL. I say, don't bother doing anything and they go right in the opposite direction :')



I'm really touched that a) they remembered the necklace i've coveted since a year ago but was never really quite prepared to blow so much $$ on and that b) they even organized a little try-to-turn-birthday-into-deathday surprise in my room! I got home and had at least 5 years taken off my life. The cake that came after made up for it though hehe.



It's the little things like this that matter really. The effort and planning and ok i'm really bad at sentimentality and expressing my heartfelt gratitude but again, thank you guys so, so much for all the effort and being there to lift my spirits during that crazy pre-assessment rush. (But that face seriously, LAST WARNING.)



Something I scribbled during one of the nights spent working late at school, my brain starts doing weird shit after 2am. (I love you dumdum, and yes, you are now a donut)

So it wasn't the crazy booze laden table like last year but I dunno. I care significantly less about my birthday with every year? I guess i'll only start freaking out when I hit 26. But seriously, people make their birthdays extra special by making sure to hang out with their friends over dinner blah blah blah but.. I kinda get to do that pretty much any time I want. I mean the presents were really sweet and duh, who doesn't mind an extra lightning cable when ah beng shops sell them for $60 but I didn't need them.

I got exactly what I wanted, and the best part is, I always will. I'm not the luckiest person but I think in this department, I did pretty good.

Now, where's the booze?

Yesterday was an awesome day of resting and just chilling that started at Cafe Iguana and ended at Ku De Ta and Butter! It's the epitome of 'calm before the storm'. Said storm being that crazy few weeks prepping for assessment, le sigh.

Had no idea where we were going after dinner so I opted for the safe (and a little bit boring) LBD.









Free nachos and salsa hehe.



Cafe Iguana is my go to place for mexican food. Granted it looks pricey ($29 for a flank steak fajita) at first but we ordered like, 4 mains yesterday plus drinks and it only came up to about $100++? The portions are really big, definitely made for sharing!









Went to Ku De Ta after to chill before Ben had to go to work, and also to visit Suren. (Actually, I just wanted to see how really rich people party.)







The view is pretty sick. I think I like it more than 1Altitude. It's not so high up so there's more 'details' in the skyline where at 1Alt, its just a bunch of lights. I'm a huge sucker for city skylines. I never get bored of it, plus it reminds me of the view of the Hong Kong skyline from the Kowloon ferry terminal side.

I just came back from a 6 hour brainstorming session so my brain is pretty fried now. I'm going to go watch something mindless and then s-l-o-w-l-y make my way to Butter to hang with Ben before he leaves for his company trip D:

No points for guessing what I did yesterday.











Beer, cigarettes, wedges and satay. There is no better way to spend Sundays. It can be argued that more alcohol after Saturday night can't mean anything good, granted, but there's also something to be said about fighting fire with fire.
