Room talk.

Besides the cuts on my face, I now have a huge pimple on my cheek. My face is ruined, ruined, I am telling you! :( And the worst thing is, it hurts. You know how there are different 'grades' of pimples? Like a mini-spot (which you can whine, but in actual fact you know that it is nothing a little dab of concealer wouldn't do), then there are the angry red ones, the white-pus ones, and then there are the ones which really, really hurt. This one hurts everytime I talk or smile! :(

It's placed right on top of cheekbone.
God, when I asked for higher cheekbones, this wasn't what I had in mind. -_-


Last week's work outfits, because some people seemed to like them so much, haha. I get emails asking me to sell my work outfits! Why oh why. T_T



No Monday work outfit, 'cause thanks to the mighty forces up there, I was on MC! *kisses floor*
Didn't put much effort into my outfit 'cause I was suffering from Tuesday blues wtf. It's really tough to bring myself to go to work after having Monday off! :(



Matching green bejeweled pendant. :)




I knotted a scarf around neck (and ended up feeling suffocated during the day wtf), going for an aristocrat look! :P

Haihhhh, but my colleagues said I looked like an air stewardess. -__-
The whole day they were asking me, "Where is my orange juice!" -___-





Wearing a Vanessa Bruno dusk turquoise top which I thrifted! Tell me I am good. :P
It really is a pretty top, I couldn't really capture the details, but the the front and back and belt are quilted. :)




Casual Friday!
And if you have known how much this dress cost, you would be green with envy. :P




It comes with a bow on the front, not sure whether you all can see it. :)

And please let me indulge in a moment of narcissism here, I looked so pretty here! T__T *touches my scarred face with bitterness wtf*


And I have something to add: in all my work outfit pictures, it appears that my face is very fair, but my body is very dark. Basically, the lighting in my cousin's room is very, very bad. Where the mirror is, there is a small panel of a window on top of it, which is why my face is always cast with light, whereas my body would be hidden in shadows. It's not 'cause I made myself up like an ah kua ok. T_T



Ohhh, I went to Ikea yesterday-- to scout out furniture for my room! :) Am I weird because I felt the happiest in the children's section. I was literally smiling ear-to-ear! -_- Their furniture are just SO CUTE! I was so tempted to climb into the children beds (seriously, their designs are very innovative *defensive*), 'cause I was thinking I might just be able to fit considering how short I am. T_T But the kids were throwing me territorial looks and I got nervous after lurking in the shadows for too long WTF.

By gosh, I am so super stressed now, furnishing my room is going to cost a bomb! Not 'cause I am planning to buy super expensive furniture whatsoever, but just imagine having to get a bed, mattress, study table, chair, wardrobe etc. And this would be coming out of my own paycheck, it just doesn't feel right to take money from my parents. :( Although, if they want to sponsor me a mattress, I wouldn't mind wtf. 'Cause with my budget, I can only get a cheapo mattress. With the risk of sounding spoiled, my dad has always insisted on getting good quality mattresses, because we spend 1/3 of our lives on it! But I guess I will have to make do with a lumpy foam mattress. :(



At one of the showrooms in Ikea-- got bored of getting inspirations (and looking for cheap beds wtf).
I was wearing a red bow in my hair, but in this picture, it looked as if I drew it myself with Paint. -___-



Trying to take a picture of my top/dress-- it is actually very pretty, the bib is made of chiffon. :)))


I felt pretty sad browsing around in Ikea. The last time I was in Ikea with a purpose was when the Flat Hair Flat moved into the flat. :((( I was walking around, and I actually recognize bits and pieces of our home then... The colorful kiddy pictures we hung in the kitchen, the funky paper drawer in my old room, the pink mat of Jac's, the red flower that we always play with while having our girlie talks in the living room. Was it really 1 and 1/2 years ago that we built a home? And now, I am trying to build another life.




Sigh.
Enough with the emo talk, let's get back to... the life I am building. :)



After my purposeful Ikea trip that day, I pretty much have a good idea of what I want for my room. I am thinking of all white furniture, with colorful accents here and there. Very me, I think. :) Well, to be honest, I was actually thinking of all white with pink and red tones, but I think the boyfriend's manly side will be stifled when he stays over, haha.

But I have a huge huge dilemma! Should I get a queen-sized bed or a single-sized one? A single bed is actually sufficient for me, since I pretty much sleep like a corpse wtf. But as the boyfriend will come down sometimes to visit me.. and the sisters have also made plans to come for shopping trips, having a queen bed would be good! I mean, if I get a single bed, and when the boyfriend comes over, he has to sleep on the floor, that would make a very sad picture right. :( But getting a queen bed would be much more expensive (for the bedframe), not to mention that the mattress would cost more as well. And there would be space constraints as well. I know just the single and queen bed that I want, it's just a matter of choosing which one.

And what about wardrobe!

Haha, wait let me relay my MSN conversation with Jac:

Me: Howwww queen sized bed or single bed!
Jac: Just get single, at the rate you are going home so often now, your bf won't have a chance to go to s'pore also. Use the space and get a bigger wardrobe
Me: But he will be coming in the future! Need to think long term right :(
Jac: Think long term. Exactly! That is why get bigger wardrobe


HAHAHAHAHHAHA.

Okies, back to wardrobe. Omggg, I have no idea wardrobes are so expensive, a 4-door one would easily set me back about SGD800!!! -__- And when I imagined my room's layout before heading to Ikea, I always thought a 2-door closet would suffice. But omg, I didn't know a 2-door wardrobe is so small!!! I have never had a 2-door wardrobe in my life, the one in my room is a 4-door unit, and even then my clothes are all over the house because I don't have enough space. My mom's wardrobe unit is an 8-doors one, and she shares the same fate with me-- she puts her clothes in our study room (another 4-d00r wardrobe there -_-). 2-door wardrobes look so claustrophobic. :((( I am thinking of either a 3-door or a 4-door now, depending on space (and monetary wtf) limitations. Worse come to worst, I will just leave most my clothes back home in KL, and every time I have worn something, I will bring it back to KL to keep. -__-

HAIYAAA DAMN STRESSSS what to doooo. But quite exciting too. Though I have to remind myself not to get too acquainted with my room, 'cause after all, S'pore is not really a long term stint. :(




Oh ya, will you all judge me if I buy a miniature kid's rocking horse and put it in my room! It will look really cute. :P
