BRITAIN! WHAT'S WITH YOU?

WHY IS IT RAINING ICE IN THE SUMMER? LOL.

PRETTY COOL THOUGH.

FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT IT WAS RAINING FROGS LIKE IN MAGNOLIA.

GEEZ.

Stranger Things Have Happened...

I didn't think it was actually going to happen BUT the fabulous coat by Adam Lippes arrived via Fedex today! I certainly hope they do not charge me any taxes on it since Adam already declared it as a "sample" of $0 value. 

Linen outer, silk lining, Singapore is hot but it ain't gonna stop me from wearing this when I am back. After all, linen is hot weather friendly! 












It feels like christmas around here today! 

Its stephen & I 4th year anniversary this thursday. I am so wearing this. Swansea folk, beware the shiny shine shine monster!! :-)

I am so excited that i actually feel nauseous. lol.

OH MY MOTHER FXXKIN LORD!

SERIOUSLY 

My brain just exploded, literally.

One of my favourite designers, well, now MY FAVOURITE definitely, Adam Lippes of Adam (www.shopadam.com) sent me an e-mail. yes he did, yes he did, yes he did...

and said he is going to send me the coat that i liked so much which i posted about in my style blog. 

Can you believe it? 

CAN YOU EFFIN BELIEVE IT?

I nearly threw up.

The e-mail landed in my Junk mail box and I nearly deleted it too. I must thank the universe for making me click on it. 


This is the coat!! Its linen, designed for spring/summer weather. US$495!!! Im so happy that I could cry. 

Never in a million years have i expected to own it, and i sure never thought i would ever recieve an email from Adam! THIS IS JUST CRAZY!

I swear when I visit New York, I am going so going to brooklyn (the meat packing district) where his flagship store is and buy something instore and give him a hug (if he's there). 

He is also a very handsome fella btw. Shame that he is gay and his boyfriend is one of his catwalk models. 



100x better looking than Marc Jacobs that's for sure!

Buzz Angel for the month of May is me?

rockincure

A few months ago, I joined this community that sent you stuff to review whenever there is a campaign going around. Its called Buzz Paradise. Yesterday I got an email from them telling me to answer a questionnaire as I'm their buzz angel for the month of May. 

Yikes how crazy is that?

One of my blogger friends, Selina went to Luxembourg for a weekend a couple months ago thanks to Buzz Paradise which i was insanely jealous about and she was the Buzz Angel of Feburary. I hope being a "buzz angel" means i might get a chance one day to visit Luxembourg at Buzz Paradise's expense muhahahaha.

Anyway these were my lame-ass answers to their questionnaire. Man, the person who emailed me is super polite and nice that I kinda feel "weird" about because I haven't done anything AMAZING for their company yet with my 1 measly review!

I hope my answers weren't as pathetic as it sounds to me.

Introduction:

 

How old are you? 22

Where do you come from? Singapore

What do you do? I'm a working holidaymaker in the UK (basically means i work part-time jobs to support my holiday here)

When did you start blogging? Sometime in the last quarter of 2006

Why did you start blogging? What does blogging give you in daily life? I was inspired by other fashion/style blogs such as Style Bytes & Style Bubble. At the same time, I wanted to challenge myself to wear something different everyday as part of my blog posts. Blogging is an avenue for me to put out my ideas and thoughts on fashion & style to like-minded people who want to discuss. In real life, it might be a bit too intense for my friends and family.

Do you remember your first blog post? It was the day I got my working holiday visa to come to the UK and I made a standard introductory post which no one commented on.

Are you rather a «twitter» or a «powncer»? I seriously have no idea what both are. How embarrassing!

Twitter, Facebook, blogs, buzz, web 2.0… What do you think of all this?How do you see the evolution of the web? I use Facebook despite thinking that it is a complete waste of time with all the various applications, but it does allow me to catch up with old friends. I do like the Polyvore bit though, such a great way for people to play with outfit combinations. As for the evolution of the web, I think that it will keep on broadening the minds of people from all over the world and more and more people will start to make connections overseas and find a sense of belonging from just where they are sitting. It is a good thing as everyone needs that kind of comfort sometimes.

 

Chinese portrait:

What if you were…

An animal? Kitten

A color? Silver. I'm like a magpie and am drawn to sparkly things and it is my favourite colour after all.

A place? New York

A season? Autumn

A musical instrument? Drums

A meal? Laksa. Its considered one of Singapore's national dish (we have so many!) and its basically a coconut milk based curry noodle soup with shrimps, tofu puffs and fish sticks. I could eat that everyday for the rest of my life, so I reckon I could be it.

A song? Charlotte Sometimes by The Cure. I'd like to be the girl in the story. The song is actually based on a children's book of the same title by Penelope Farmer.

A proverb? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." My boyfriend lives by that and somehow it has creeped into my life too.

A blog (other than yours)? leblogdebetty.com - blog of this fabulous french girl who's got the best classic casual style

A web 2.0 homepage? Polyvore.com of course!

A buzz? An electric shock definitely haha.

 

Ramen Sushi Goodness!

rockincure
I just got back from a fantastich meal at a Sushi restaurant called "Wasabi" (lol!) with my colleague from work, Louise. Today is probably one of the best days I've had since I've been here in Swansea. Louise took me to this little shop that sold some foodstuffs that I bought in Singapore that I never thought I would see in Swansea, at least. There was Yeo's chrysanthemum tea in cans (yay!), Cup Needles!!, some japanese instant ramen that i always bought from NTUC in Singapore, some sauces that I use in Singapore too! I bought some garlic chilli and a sauce mix for making curry chicken (yay!) and 6 packets of the yummy japanese ramen stuff and 2 cans of the Yeo's chrysanthemum tea, which I intend to buy like a carton tomorrow or saturday.

It felt so good to eat sushi and ramen again. And to share that joy with a kindred spirit! I was like a little happy kid finding sweets in a old schoolbag and you just couldn't erase that cheeky smile on my face!

I also had the chance to be a kid again and go on the swings at this park near the sushi restaurant. It was soooo amazing, especially with a bat or two flying around a tree near the swings! Its been so long since i've been on a swing, I actually felt like I was going to get thrown off the swing from time to time. But seriously, I am so getting in the swing of that and WILL be going back for the swings again, BELIEVE ME!

Its also so nice to have someone who i can talk to easily like Louise. I love all my other colleagues but there's just something about Louise that's extra nice and extra special that I love! She's such a wonderful little white magic witch! 

The guy she fancied was eating at a table behind us (a serious coincedence!) and it was so difficult not to talk about him. Lol. Then there was another guy who she used to go out with at a table behind us....

She sure is a popular girl! Especially whenever she's working, she has like friends coming in to say hello, ALL THE TIME. Lol. 

Anyway, she has this german exchange student coming to stay with her for 10 days on Sunday. I feel a lil excited for her. I do hope the guy is nice and not some psychotic moron. 

I can't wait to do sushi again! I'm gonna try their tempuras once my sore throat heals. Mmmmmmmmm.... and i need some miso soup as well.

Sayonara!
