Just trying not to think about it.

Came back from the Nuffnang Wild Live party just now, am so knackered! Am too lazy to go through the pictures from the party, so just some shots I took yesterday for now. :)


And if you're wondering what animal I went as, let's just say it's very close to my true self wtf. :P




Photobucket
Jing said my legs looked very long her. *big shiny eyes*

If that is true, I am going to print this picture and laminate it-- anytime anyone calls me short, I am going to flash it as an ID wtf.



Photobucket
Btw, this my my new hair! But you can't really see it... Will show better pictures soon. :P



Photobucket
Cute ribbon bows and heart prints...


Photobucket
Happy green patent sheos with wooden wedges...


Photobucket
Vintage scarf...

All ingredients for a pick-me-up day, 'cause my sisters dumped me, and I had to run errands by myself. T_T




And let me tell you something really sad. :(


I went to buy bus tickets yesterday for my official heading-down to S'pore. Thank god though, my mom and sisters would be coming along, and we'll be spending a few days together before I officially start work.

It was really heart wrenching, because I bought 4 tickets for the trip from KL to S'pore, but for the return trip, only 3 tickets were needed. :(

They will be leaving S'pore (and me) on 1st July. I bought 3pm tickets for them-- I will still be at work then.

You know why I chose that time for them? 'Cause I don't really want to face saying goodbye. :(

Bag lady!

Okies, no pictures at all from S'pore. =/ Oh no, what if this is a sign! Like, once I move to S'pore, I'll no longer be taking photos! T_T

Haha, no la, actually it's 'cause my mom and aunt don't want to camwhore with me wtf.


Hmm, so only my Singapore buys ya. :)


Can you believe it, the only clothing items I bought are work-clothes. T_____T
I am turning into a blah working woman already wtf. Haha, but THANK GOD they are actually pretty clothes-- i.e. things that I would actually wear for non-work purposes. Aiya, actually most of the things that I bought/reserved for work can be worn for my own dress-up days as well. -_- I am so going to break the dress codes man. -___-

Anyway, no pictures of said work-clothes (loosely termed so wtf), am going to move straight onto the more substantial buys! :)






This is my first baby from the trip! Shoes from Pura Lopez. :)))






Sexy black patent, slightly oxfords-inspired, with really high platform heels. Mmm.


My mom thinks the heels are too high (I think they are more than 4-inches high -_-), so while persuading her to buy them for me in the shop, I had to walk nonchalantly in these shoes while attempting to be graceful, haha.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. :)))





Next up, the Prada bags that my mom bought!



Which of course, we would steal, erm, I mean borrow. :P But then again, now that I would be in S'pore, I won't get to steal, erm, I mean borrow it. :(






Black evening bag cum sling bag with the gorgeous rosette in front!

This bag is really gorgeous, and I love that it could be casual (ala sling-bag), and it will look equally lovely as an evening/dress-up bag. :) It especially looks good as a sling bag, because it's still girlie! It looked really nice with the rugged shirt dress I had on that day in the Prada shop. :P

And oh! Remember my mom bought three Prada bags? She bought 2 of this rosette sling bag. -___- The other one is for her best friend. -__-
Haiya, I don't get these women la, what is this!! Friendship bag, instead of friendship bracelet ar!! -____- If my best friend uses the same bag as me, I'll smack her WTF.







OOOOOHHH I love this bag SO SO SO MUCH!



It comes with detachable straps (with goldware) as well, so you can wear it as a sling! :)


And you know what, my mom actually got this on her accord!! Haha, as in I wasn't with her when she bought it. Not because I usually pay for her bags wtf.
The story: we were in Prada, and there was this bag that my mom wanted, however they ran out of it in that shop, but there was one last one in another Prada outlet-- just a few streets away. So my mom braved the rain (it was raining cats and dogs) and walked to the other Prada outlet by herself. Now I know where my love for bags came from wtf. Anyway, my mom called me while she was at the other Prada outlet, and told us that they ran out of the bag as well, and that she would be coming back to meet us. So I was expecting my mom to be empty-handed-- but when I saw her she was carrying a big Prada paperbag already. T__T

Btw, now I also know where my impulsive shopping genes came from WTF.


And you know whatttt!! When we were in Prada, there was this lady who was holding a nice Prada bag on display. My mom liked how the bag looked, and ask the lady whether she could just take a closer look at the bag. THEN THAT FUCKER LADY TOLD MY MOM: Oh, you need not bother, I am buying it already. In a really infuriatingly superior tone somemore!!
ARGHHHH DAMN ANGRY OK. Not like my mom wanted to snatch the bag from her! She just wanted to see how the bag is like! Fucker. Some Singaporeans are such snobs, I am telling you. GRRR.


Anyway, on a more inspiring but terribly scary note! The bag that my mom wanted-- they only got the stock in the morning, about 3,4 of it. We reached Prada at about 12pm-- the bags were all sold out! Not to mention they were all sold out in the other Prada outlet as well! WTFFFF, this are not Bonia or Guess bags we are talking about!! Don't this people need to think before making such a huge investment!! (yes, buying bags is an investment *shy*) And everytime I pass by LV, you need to queue up to get in. -___- Is the purchasing power of Singaporeans so high???? So means me working in S'pore is a good move huh, HAHAHA.





And remember I mentioned before that my mom brings us down to S'pore to motivate us? Well, she has definitely inspired me to me gung-ho for work now. :P













It's my pleasure to share that I am now the proud owner of the Miu Miu Nappa Frame tote! :D :D :D











Sigh, isn't it gorgeous. :))))





And the key to lock the bag. :)






I almost didn't get the bag ok! T____________________________T


I saw it in On Pedder on my 2nd day in S'pore, and it was love at first sight. But my mom hated it (she thinks Miu Miu is cheap WTF how can she be my birth mom), and so we left On Pedder with me throwing longing glances at it. We went to Gucci shortly after that, and surprisingly, the first thing that caught my mom's eye was my ex-dream-workbag!


Photobucket
Just imagine it in pink (yes, it's from the same family as Jing's bag)! Had trouble finding a picture of the bag-- I think the one shown in this picture is a fake. -_-


Anyway, my mom thinks that this Gucci bag is more "worth-it", quoting her. -_- And she kept on putting down my Miu Miu bag, saying that it's too simple, that white dirties easily etc etc. I still quite like the Gucci bag (it's really gorge in real life), but I don't know, lately I seemed to not like monogrammed things. =/ And I really really love the Miu Miu one. But HOWWW my mom was willing to pay for the Gucci one, but she hates the Miu Miu bag. :(

But with some light persuading, we stepped back into On Pedder again, for us to "see the Miu Miu bag more clearly", quoting me. :P

So while I was in the shop, tenderly stroking the bag and lovingly admiring my reflection with the bag on me...
My mom told me, "Go la!" I gave her a blank stare.
The she told me, "Take it to pay la!"
T_____________________T I was so shocked ok. Why my mom loves me so much. T____________T
But I felt so guilty (and shocked wtf) that I told my mom that I will think about it first.

WTFFF RIGHT. Even now when I think of it, I think I was damn stupid!! Mommy offering to buy you a super gorgeous bag?? You don't say "See first" or "Let me think about it"!!! You just GRAB AND GO. T___T Somemore the sales assistant told me that it was the last bag, and he warned me to not think too much. T___T

When I chatted online with my sis on the same night to sought for her opinion on whether the bag is a good buy, she called me"STUPID! WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID!" T_____T

Then the next day when we went back to Orchard, my mom told me she has thought over it clearly, and she thinks that the Miu Miu bag is too expensive, and she doesn't want to get it. T______T I was beating myself up inside ok. T______________T



Thank god, in the end she relented. T____T 'Cause I kept on showing her sad faces, HAHAHA.
And also because the Miu Miu store was right above Prada, so it was easy for me to pull her in. :P (So I didn't get it from On Pedder in the end, got it from Miu Miu itself)

I told my mom I will be using it for work... *sheepish* I was originally considering getting a Coach leather bag or something for work-- something subtle and simple; however I was really reluctant in getting Coach though, I have a teeny weeny bit of a bag snob in me. :( But haihhh, confirmed I am not sampai hati to use this bag for work wan! -_-

And I have to thank my aunt (whom I will be staying with in S'pore) for it! My aunt is a super duper practical woman from the olden days; she doesn't own anything designer, and her priority is comfort and affordability. But even she thinks that my bag is damn nice. T_T And she helped me begged my mom. T___T

And you know what, I suspect my aunt has been reading fashion magazines since the last time I have seen her, HAHA. 'Cause her taste is damn expensive and good now ok! All the bags which she thinks are nice are from Bally, Yves Saint Laurent etc. Then she scolded my mom, "Seeee! You bring me to all this expensive places, how can I ever go back to using my pasar bags!"HAHHAHA why is she so cute. :P

Anyway, me loves my new bag VERY VERY VERY much. :)))
But how can some people now know what Miu Miu is! T___T



Bless the ignorant people around me.


#1
Me: Bee, I am eyeing a Miu Miu bag!!! :D
Bf: Huh? Do you mean a Meow Meow bag?

WTFFF what is a meow meow bag! -_____-


#2
Me: I got the Miu Miu bag today!!! :D :D :D
Bf: Are you sure it is spelled that way?
Me: Errr, ya. Why?
Bf: 'Cause Miu Miu sounds odd.

-_____________-


#3
Jing told her bf, Samuel, that I am scheming to get a Miu Miu bag.
Sam asked her was she calling him MUEL MUEL.

T___________________________T



#4
On MSN, when I told the boyfriend that my mom bought 3 Prada bags.

Bf: sigh I feel like I am staring into my future


HAHAHAHHAHA.



#5
While he was still lamenting on his impending future...

Bf: (next time) my money got feather DNA wan i think
Bf: when it grows up it will have feathers and then it will fly away... to prada and gucci and lv


HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA. We will have a good future together, baby! :P



[Exclusion cause: Just for the record, this author does not spend her bf's money at all, and she's proud of it. But if married already, then things might be different wtf. Hahaha! *consoles the boyfriend's weeping self*]

Outfits misfit.

Update: WAHHHHHHHHH this Blogger scheduling thing really works !!! (this is a scheduled post btw)
Anyway, guess what!!! I am in shock myself. -_- My mom just bought 3 Prada bags! *weeps in joy* One is for her best friend though. But wheee, the Hoe family's bag collection has expanded again wtf. More details on my S'pore buys when I get home k! :)


Because this was bound to happen, haha. Just a walk-through of some outfits that I haven't posted before. :P

They are random pictures since the beginning of the year or so, so you can actually see the transformation of my hairstyles!


Photobucket
It's a kitschy T-shirt dress with this white ruffled bib.

I remember wearing it for lunch with Jac the day before she left. Omg, has it been 4 months plus!!!

Emo. :(



Photobucket
Electric blue pinafore dress with white buttons.


I have since sold this dress-- but I have made a friend along the way!
Crazy girl who stays in the UK and is afraid of bombs hidden in trash cans, HAHAHA.

I wore this outfit to see Ranjitha, my high school best friend, whom I haven't seen for the past 2 years 'cause she left for Ireland. First time seeing my bestie after so long, it was like seeing a first love again ok! :P


Photobucket
Candid picture wiith Jing, who has just bought her Gucci bag that day!

Yes, the bag that Teeny and I chipped in also as part of her b'day present. -_-
Haih, why is my sister so materialistic wtf.



Photobucket
With this vintage-inspired chiffon dress in this very lovely shade of pink/lilac.
But it crinkles so easily though. :(

I do remember that the day I wore this dress, was the day before I went to dye my hair.
This means that it was the last day I had jet black, never-been-dyed-before hair ok! Milestone wtf.


Photobucket
Who said I don't wear my clothes twice ar!

I wore it once before when I sent my parents to the airport after my graduation in Melbourne! I remember holding back tears then. :(((



Photobucket
With my happy green patent platform shoes with wooden heel.

Can you believe it, my boyfriend actually complimented the shoes!! Damn shocking k, 'cause the boyfriend is super conservative in dressing. T__T We are damn un-matching in terms of fashion sense wtf.



And walao, I used to wear dresses so often! -___________-



Photobucket
In this Bettina Liano's white skirt with quite an indecent slit in front, haha.

Can wear for work ar! Then can get promotion quickly HAHAHAHA.



And in case you wonder what do I wear when I go over to the boyfriend's. :P


Photobucket
I found my old Gucci sling, and guess what, I am in love with it again. :D
In a Sass & Bide tank top and paperbag shorts. And Keds. I aim for comfort! Sometimes. :P



Photobucket
I. look. so. unbelievably. like. a. schoolgirl. -__-


Ok, that's all. Hmm, this may sound weird, but I can remember exactly what and when I wore the outfits, and who I was with during that time!!! Actually, I have always been like this- I associate my outfits with the day/outing. Sometimes when the boyfriend asks me, "Hey, do you remember ....", and I will quickly shoot back "What was I wearing!" to jog my memory. Usually if I could remember what my outfit was, I could remember the day's occurings as well. -_-

And I also have a scary ability of remembering people's clothes. I can remember everything that you have ever worn, and how you put them together. In fact, I have friends who call me for fashion advice, because I know their wardrobe better than them! :D :D :D

Haih, I think I am a very scary girl.



Oh, one more outfit-- something I wore really recently:

Photobucket
My new skinnys! :)


Unfortunately, once I start work, I am afraid that it will never see the daylight again. :( It really scares me, dressing for work. I won't call myself a fashionista or anything, but I think it's quite obvious that I adore dressing up, playing with dressing up. And the idea of being restrained by codes and rules and policies (in terms of dressing) scares me. A lot.



Yen the Hairstylist asked me what will I be working as in S'pore...


Me: Oh, I will be in auditing.
Yen: WHAT?? Means business formal???
Me: *nods depressively* Yes...
Yen: SO NOT YOU! SO NOT YOU! SO NOT YOU!

T___T



Last week, my mom and I finally got a set of black suit (blazer + skirt) for me. When I put it on, I nearly cried. It finally seemed real-- the forlorn girl staring back at me, clad in a boring black suit. Its implications not so much refer to what I am going to wear, but what I am in for. Sigh, don't want to talk too much about it. But oh well, guess a black suit is apt, considering the sombre, morbid affair work is.
