No more mellow, canary yellow!

Went to eat my favorite siew yuk with the boyfriend and his parents over the weekend. And got such a big headache over what to wear! 'Cause usually when I go back during the weekends, I find myself dressing up in colorful, relatively funky things-- caused from deprivation at work (my body can only take 5 days of stripes and slacks wtf)-- but funky isn't the look to meet the parents right!

Do you all have the same problem, thinking of what to wear to meet the boyfriend's parents? ;)


In the end I decided on this:




My bangs are so scarily long, damn those layers!


- Pale yellow happy vintage dress
- Volcom very long bronze belt-- worn in 2 loops
- Topshop heaband
- Tea & Sympathy brooch (pinned on headband)
- Topshop mustard yellow bag
- River Island diamante sandals





Couldn't resist channeling my whimsical side: vintage-esque brooch pinned on the fabric headband.

The boyfriend let out a shriek of terror when he caught sight of my brooch...

Him: EEEEE WHAT IS THAT!!!

... and proceeded to asked me whether I am going for a horse show, and that I looked like I won a ribbon at said horse show. -________-

And when I started merajuk-ing, he told me, "No la no la, you're not a horse ok" and continued with "You're more like a pony, 'cause you're so small-sized" WTFF




I swear to god I was a magpie in my past life 'cause I am so easily attracted to glittery things! :P
Btw, the shoes are my mom's-- I am almost the same size (shoe and clothes') as my mom, which is GREAT, 'cause my mom has a lot of pretty things. :D





At Dome for my Espreski fix.


The boy and the girl: how different we are!




But good for each other. :P




My solution to re-wearing my clothes now is to wear them for casual Fridays. *smart* :P






I am really happy!! :)))

My dad wants to get me an Mac notebook! :)))) And apparently my whole family knows except for me wtf. When I exclaimed happily to my sisters, they just lazily replied me "Ya, since damn long ago he has decided, you didn't know meh" -_- My dad asked me to check out the prices of the Macbooks, and 'cause I expressed my concern over the incompatibility issues of Macbooks and some other software (like MSN and Skype.. Is this true? =/), he also said I am free to go scout out whatever laptops I like! :D

I have yet to decide whether I will accept my dad's offer (since I am already working and all), but god knows I desperately need (and can't afford) a laptop. My current laptop is 4 years old, and the "Ctrl" key has dropped out, my "I" key is not working properly now (I have to press really really hard for the character to show), and I think there are ants residing in it. -_- And as of these 2 weeks, my "U", "E" and "O" keys are kind of wonky too-- I suspect there is some kind of jinx against the vowels on my keyboard wtf. But I am just really happy that, well, my dad actually thought of getting me the laptop! :)


Jing has always been daddy's favorite-- she was the one who got an Ipod for her 17th birthday-- the first and only one of us siblings to get one from the family. She also got her dream handphone, the N80, when it was released. Ah boy (the rarely mentioned brother wtf) is obviously mommy's pet; but mom has always had a soft spot for Teeny as well, 'cause Teeny was this emo moody thing. Thus my mom tends to give in to her (out of fear or love, I don't know wtf).

Me? Being the responsible, level-headed eldest daughter, I get my parents' trust and respect. My mom always tell me that she can count on me to make the right decisions, that she knows that I am very mature. But precisely 'cause of that, my parents don't show me much attention, they know that I can be left alone and not have to worry about me. Which is why they didn't call me often when I was in Melbourne. Or even now that I am in S'pore. Neither did they ask me about school or university or my exam grades. Because they know that I will do well. That I will manage. Because to them, I always do.

But sometimes I just want them to show that they care. To shower me with attention.




However, it's just that the more you grow up, the harder it is to ask of this from your parents.




Which is why the whole laptop news makes me so happy! And all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
