Can she ever go wrong?

Everytime I see Kate Lanphear, I die. This Style Director of US Elle always manages to direct her own style in a majorly mind-blowing kinda way.. I seriously plan to steal anything she has inside her closet, really..



She's in black, and bringing a little of white



Isn't it the coolest and the fiercest set of accesories in the whole world?


Have you ever thought of wearing your shirt that way? me, no.. But do I like it? Oh, I love it..


She's in dark grey..looking as fabulous as ever..


I wonder how many white tees, black skinies, black booties, and blazers she has?


She's in leather


and studdeds



and voila!

more black and white, except this time she wears mini skirt, and shorts..and oh so wow black booties..

The rain doesn't put a stop on her..Still looking fab with a black dress..and look at her tiny sling bag..
No personal favorite cos all these are my favorites..But this last look really got me stunned..I love everything about it..The grey blazer, the white tees, the black pants, the studded belt, the accesories, shoes..

This post got me in a very good mood to shop :)

I know I am blessed, I know I am loved

When I open my eyes early in the morning knowing another busy day is ahead of me
while someone out there might be afraid of not being able to see tomorrow

When I have two slices of bread for breakfast every morning
while someone out there might not even have anything to eat for one whole day

When I get a job in Singapore, afar from home
while someone out there might have sent hundreds of CVs but get no call-ins

When I get a message from my mom every single day just asking how I am doing
while someone out there might not even know how it feels to have a mommy

When I have a simple dinner after work
while someone out there might not have time to eat because of working overtime

When I have a lot of options of clothes to wear for the week
while someone out there might have been wearing the same clothes for months

When I see my boyfriend's smiling face
while someone out there might cry over a harassing boyfriend

When I have the strength to walk the roughest path of life
while someone out there might think to give up and stop walking

It is when I try to see that someone out there might go through worse than me
It is when I see that what I am going through is not that hard
It is when I see that I am precious no matter how I am or who I am

There, I know that I am blessed

When Someone died on the cross
so that I can live

When Someone bore a scar in His hands
so that I can be blessed

There, I know that I am dearly loved

So guys, be blessed and be grateful in every single thing happened in your life.
Cos you are all precious and you are all loved :)

Rebecca Taylor spring 2010 collection

I never thought of animal and floral print in one look, but Rebecca Taylor make it fabulously possible.

I think these looks shout rebel and cute at the same time, and oh, for the name of fashion, how I love it..

Isn't she lovely...

She passed away two years before I was born, but her name is very familiar to my ears because my mom was her big fan, and her story was a constant bedtime story instead of Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. She told me how beautiful and how graceful she was.
I've seen her in some movie clips and yes she was extraordinarily pretty. I've seen her standing besides Prince Rainier III of Monaco. And she was the prettiest princess I've ever seen. But when i found these pictures, I saw her as a simple girl from Pennsylvania who was just having the time of her life, not as an Oscar winning actress, not as a princess, but just as a girl. And this side of her is even more attracting than any other sides. As lovely as Grace Kelly really was.

Just Bought

















































I sprained my neck during my sleep. I didn't know how it happened, but the pain is kiling me. I tried salonpas but apparently it doesn't work. So today I'm stuck at home. Hopefully it's going to be over soon..
Pray for me guys..

I finally found...

..the eating place with that really wows me :) And it made me happy..

TGIF, time to splurge on good food. This time, we decided to cut the 'crab'. Yes, some fresh crabs to freshen up our mind for the weekend :)

So, we went to this eating place at 40 Holland Drive. I remembered eating there months ago, it was good. Then the place was renovated recently, and apparently the food is also improved.

So here's what we have:



I ordered this lime juice. Very refreshing. The sour and sweet were just right.



It's him, with his favorite Teh C. For you who don't know what Teh C is, it's a local black tea mixed with evaporated milk. And it tastes really nice. But I prefer Teh, which is black tea mixed with sweet condensed milk. Little tips for you, if you visit Singapore and you want to order just tea without milk, you should say Teh O.



This was the first dish served, Chinese Spinach in Superior Stock. And it was great! Superior stock here is some thick chicken stock, mixed with three kinds of eggs, chicken egg, salted egg, and pitan or preserved egg. High cholesterol, but damn good.



The second dish was this Stir Fried Fish with Ginger and Spring Onion. I love it. The ginger and spring onion add a lot of fragrance to the dish, and the fish is tender and not fishy at all.



The last dish, and the ultimate best, Salted Egg Yolk Crab. So far, it was the best Salted Egg Yolk Crab I have ever tasted. The crab was fried before stir fried with the salted egg. This made the crab has some savory fried taste and the crab shell become less harder, thus it's easier to eat.
And I love love love this place because they gave us a huge female crab that had lotssss of egg. OMG, guilty pleasure. And the salted egg yolk sauce... YUMMY, irresistable. It literally made me speechless.
We officially made this eating place our favorite and recommended place to eat!
