I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study. I am home to study.


***************************************************

Hola, everyone! I am back in KL! Nearly not though. 'Cause in pure hui wen drama, I missed the bus on Friday. -________-

Well, almost.

I was supposed to catch the 7pm bus back to KL, but I was rushing some work, so I could only leave at 6.30pm. Well, let me tell you something, 6.30pm in Singapore on a Friday? Throws a whole new light on rush hour. I couldn't get a cab. Was put on hold for eons to call for a cab. And when I finally got onto a cab, it was already 6.45pm. 15minutes to get to where I had to catch the bus-- but I had to first battle the horrendous traffic ahead of me. Needless to say, it was quite impossible. I did the only thing I could do at that time, which was to call up the bus company and tell them that I will be late, and asked them really nicely whether they could please please please wait for me. They lady told me the maximum the bus could wait for till is 7.05pm. FML.

At 7.05pm, I was at the U-turn opposite the place, but the traffic wasn't moving!! I frantically called the bus company again, and the receptionist coldly replied me that they will wait for another 2 minutes.

When the cab pulled into the bus compound, I saw the bus leaving from afar.... So my cab driver chased after the car, and kept on beeping the horn, hahaha. In the end, the bus stopped in the middle of the road, and I clambered onto the bus gratefully-- with all the passengers looking at me of course.

Haih.

He then asked me nervously, "Are you going to buy a new camera for this 2 weeks". HAHAHAHHA do I really appear as so narcissistic and irrational. Wait, I don't want to know the answer WTF.

10 Superficial Facts for the Day.

It's getting addictive to do up entries in a list form! Easy, fast, and perfect for the lazy blogger like me. :P

10 superficial facts for the day! Shouldn't be hard to come up with...


1. I finally went to Ion Orchard, only the most talked-about new mall in Orchard. Supposedly the best thing that has happened to Singapore since sliced bread, in retail terms that is. Yea yea, I am quite slow, as quoted by my friend, "everyone who is anyone would have been to Ion already", and I only made my first visit over the weekend. I was home almost every weekend!! *tries to justify wtf*

2. Well, I stepped foot into the Topshop in Ion, and let's just say it's omgfuckingfantasticorgasmic. Everything looked fucking awesome there! The trends are (slightly) faster as compared to M'sia, and they also have some collections which are currently unavailable in M'sia-- such as the Christopher Kane collaborations, Topshop Unique etc. The shoe collections are amazing as well! It would have been easy to just splurge my whole month's pay on some goodies! Which proves just how gorgeous everything is. And also how bloody expensive everything was. T__T Just to quote an example, there was a pair of laced-up heels that I was eyeing, and when I flipped over the price tag, my breath caught in my throat-- it cost SGD500. T_____________T

3. I have bought some stuff on ASOS, but it has been 1 month, and I haven't received my package yet. T______________________T I am worried sick!! What if it's lost in transit... Omg. Especially when my Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon shoes are at stake. T__________________T

Update: ASOS has confirmed that the package is lost in transit, FML!



4. As you all know by now, I am on a diet. Well, diet probably isn't the right word, more like downright self-deprivation WTF. Haha, no la, I would think of it as more of a lifestyle revamping... Hopefully it is more sustainable than a crash diet. Anyway, this whole trying to lose weight thing is getting expensive. -_- 'Cause I shop more! As I exercise more and eat less, I would like to think that I look better in my clothes, and trying on new clothes provides some form of validation? Like wearing a smaller size, or taking on a clothing in a tighter/stretchier i.e. more unforgiving fabric, it makes me feel good. Or maybe when I am deprived from food, I just make it up in other form of luxuries (read: shopping) wtf. -_-

5. I was at a boutique that day, and whilst trying on some clothes, I heard the conversation of two women, most likely good friends. One woman was telling her friend: "Ohhhh this dress is so not you! It has aged you so many years! But hmmm, if you really insist, I guess you can get it" with much criticism and reluctance in her voice.

The thing was, when I stepped out of my dressing room, I saw the woman who was trying on said dress, and she looked amazing!!!

I am willing to bet that the moment the both of them leave the shop (with the woman being talked out of buying the dress), her bitchy friend will march back to the shop and buy the dress for herself. Sigh, sometimes it's scary how manipulative and cunning and selfish women can be. :/


6. I don't want curly hair no more. :(((( I am sick of my hair!! It's so messy and shaggy and just looks... unhealthy. :((((( Might go back to straight hair (am marching right to Yen's the moment I am back in KL), but ohh, I don't know, straightening my hair again might just kill it completely. :(


7. I have nothing more to say.


SEEEE!! I can't even come up with 10 superficial things! Whoever who says that I am frivolous should eat up their words wtf.


Anyway, some pictures, because DON'T DENY IT, I know some of you are here just for pictures.


Outfit from a million years ago:



Gray and white striped tee: Topshop
Green satin pleated full skirt: River Island

Black patent studded bow belt: River Island

Green crochet beanie: Forever 21

Looking at this picture reminds me, I have lost this striped tee!! One of my favorites. :(






Showing off the studded bow belt.. It came with the skirt. Worthy buy! :)




I kinda miss seeing my face being pointy. Those were the days.... T___T



At one point in the car, I was feeling so hot and stuffy that I came up with the best remedy...



Voila, no more hair! wtf

Reebonz: Shopping God has heard our prayers.

Ok, I admit it.

I love shopping. And frankly speaking, if you have been reading my blog for long, you love shopping as well. :P

And why shouldn't we? We all love pretty things. To unwrap a carefully packaged box, untying the satin ribbon to reveal the wonders within. To caress and stroke lustworthy items, to breathe in the intoxicating scent of leather, to bask in the afterglow of scoring a bargain.


*starts getting dreamy*


And here is when Shopping God satisfies our deepest shopping desires! :D









Reebonz (pronounced as "ribbons"), is a Singapore-based exclusive-members-only website, which hosts online sales where products from a specific brand is placed on the website for a short time span of 2-3 days for members to purchase.






I am a bit of a romantic at heart, and was thrilled to find that the name "Reebonz" actually came from the idea of the ribbons that we untie when we receive presents. Which is so apt, 'cause I cannot think of a single girl who does not like wrapping presents. Heck, even my boyfriend giggles like a small boy while he unties the colorful ribbons of his presents. ;)


Now, I am not going to harp on how the name of the website tugs on heart strings, but instead march right to the point. Reebonz offers to its members products ranging from medium to high-end luxury products. Their aim? Making luxury affordable.

All I can say is, Reebonz brings in quality stuff.
Quality, BEAUTIFUL things that will make you weep.



For example, as I am typing away, the time is ticking away as it counts down for the Miu Miu event to end.





Some of the offerings of the Miu Miu event includes:


I could have sworn that my mom is eyeing a similar Miu Miu bag to this black deer leather studded tote. The catch is, my mom plans to wait for the annual Miu Miu sales, which is in May next year! Now she probably doesn't have to, 'cause this baby is going for approximately SGD700 cheaper!!

A bag like that is going to be really versatile and useful, just look at how I use my black Miu Miu to death.


I saw loads of things I like as well, but they were all sold out! Things sell out real quickly, so you gotta be quick. Like:


This woven leather bag, I like the intricate texture... Makes it look like some exotic skin, no? But it's SOLD OUT!



Teeny was eyeing this bag in the current Miu Miu collection! Something significant, considering she is never much of a 'designer bag' person. The thing is, she might be able to afford this, 'cause it's about SGD1.5K now, as compared to it's original whopping price of SGD2,690!



I know Jing would like this bag... But it's gone already, love! :(


And this cute metallic bowler bag is only SGD899??? That's about RM2k!! F0r a Miu Miu bag, I would say it's really worth it. But it's sold out as well. *forlorn*




I was so upset that I missed out all this Miu Miu goodness that I started going through the archive of its previous sales. After that, I wanted to stab myself. T___T

Because I missed out on all these:




















Marc Jacobs??? Adorable Kate Spade totes?? Designer shades??? WTFF???? If you can still remain cold as stone even after seeing all these fabulous brands, you are a GHOST wtf! 'Cause no flesh and blood can say no to these brands. T__T


Whilst browsing through the past sales events, I noticed that Reebonz has a really extensive range of products and brands, from designer goods to fitness programs to spas to food vouchers to Topshop vouchers and La Perla lingerie. There is truly something for everyone, yes, even you boys.





Topshop voucher, can you imagine it!




Reebonz ships to the whole of Asia Pacific and that includes to all parts of Malaysians. And now, Reebonz is offering all my readers an invitation to be part of the Reebonz community! :)

I am very very excited now! :D


That's not all.
