TRUTH RING: My next conquest.

I discovered Carrie K. at the recent BLUEPRINT event at the Pit Building. I was mesmerized by the beautiful imperfections of Carrie K.‘s designs. How should I describe her work? RAW. ORGANIC. NATURAL. UNPRETENTIOUS. The designer, Carolyn used to work in advertising before she found her calling in crafting jewellery. I received my rose-gold Knot ring from Carolyn yesterday – I was thrilled to wear it all day long. See her collection and you’ll know why I fell in love:

Stradivarius Official Launch in Singapore

Published on April 2, 2010 in Brands, Clothing and Singapore. 1 Comment Tags: ION Orchard, Singapore, Stradivarius.

What’s Stradivarius? It’s the first time I’m hearing about the label as well. From the fashionable people who brought us ZARA, Massimo Dutti, Bershka and Pull & Bear, Stradivarius is a Spanish label which offers “a wide range of fashion for young people who crave an informal, funky look”. Finally, the label has landed in Singapore at ION Orchard (#B2-15). Fash-E was invited to its official launch fashion show on April’s Fool day. There were splashes of colours and prints on the runway. I even bought myself a cameo skirt with the complimentary $50 voucher given to the invited guests. Yay! Thanks a million ^_^

Shopping at Stradivarius is like walking into an art gallery.

Hey good lookin’! The early birds waiting for the fashion show to start.

Checks and Denim seem to be the Spring 2010 look.

I even received a purple rose from the a lovely model ^_^ It made my day!

I love how cheerful the models were as they strut down the runway.

I’m obsessed with all things white these days. Get your WHITE fix here.

I bought the skirt (on the left) after seeing it on the runway! Cute.

In the words of Ris Low, “KHAKI GREEN” is very in-trend.

I LOVE MY GIRLFRIENDS!

One of the things I miss about my life in Malaysia are my girlfriends. I’m so glad that Jan did such an awesome job in organizing my hen’s night. If you’re reading this, *BIG HUG* you totally rock! It was probably the BEST NIGHT OUT I’ve ever had in Singapore (as a single lady!). My girlfriends from Malaysia flew down to Singapore to surprise me and boy, I was super surprised that I cried! I know, I know. It was the best surprise ever… I was totally caught off guard! There is nothing better than awesome company Then, these girls tortured me the whole night with naughty games (which I will not reveal!)… but it was all in the name of “fun”.

We kicked start the night with dinner at The Screening Room. The food & wine were yum!

hen-night-3

Then, we head down to Hard Rock Cafe to do the “deed” – ugh, horrible! horrible!

hen-night-4

After that, we head down for some laughs at Kumar‘s show at 3 Monkeys.

And yes, more bad sttttuuuufffff!

hen-night-5

Do you like my GIGANTIC diamond ring? I loveeee it!

Eventually we head down to Clarke Quay to check out the night life – yes, we had a long, long night of fun! Oh man, I wish all my girlfriends are living in Singapore. We used to say that we would be housemates and live like the sitcom, “Friends” - well, we all went our separate ways after high school. It was great to have them all over the weekend. BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.

At 3:00am yesterday. BB and I camwhored once in the taxi.

Bryanboy is in town again! As I’m typing this, he’s at Club 21‘s Marc Jacobs event at Artspace @ Helutrans. I decided to stay home (sorry, BB!) and catch up on some zzzs. The funny thing was… we didn’t plan to meet yesterday. I read his Twitter about finding gay bars at Bencoolen Street. I asked if he was around the area… and it turned out that he was putting up at Ibis Hotel @ Bencoolen (just opposite my apartment!). Hello neighbourrr… So we decided to meet up for a couple of drinks in Tanjong Pagar area.

So, that’s my story! I’ll miss you BB – do come back to Singapore!

BEST. DAY. EVER.

*psst* I’M ENGAGED! To cut the long story short, Bubster booked a surprise weekend getaway to Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa. I thought it was really sweet of him since we haven’t had time to spend quality time together for the past few weeks. To my amazement, the resort made us felt like we left the country (after a 15-min cab ride from home)! That’s a compliment Anyway, I thought it was just a regular weekend getaway (I even skipped my pole graduation for this!). Before I get carried away, let the pictures tell you the story…

We stayed in the 1930s British Colonial-style Courtyard Suite. Gorgeous!

Surrounded by greens and pretty flowers.

This four-poster bed is the most comfortable ever!

Every suite has an outdoor courtyard with a Jacuzzi in its own private garden.

After our room service dinner, Bubster presented me with a pineapple dessert!

I Scream for Ben & Jerry’s Chunk Fest!

Published on September 13, 2009 in Event, Food and Singapore. 2 Comments Tags: Ben & Jerry, Ben & Jerry's Chunk Fest, Chunk Fest, Elusion feat. Melissa, Jack & Rai, Marina Barrage, Singapore.

Yay! It’s time for Ben & Jerry’s Chunk Fest again! This year, the annual event is held at the bigger and brand new Marina Barrage. In my opinion, it’s the perfect spot for an ice-cream event. The weather was hot hot hot yesterday that I could literally drown myself in Ben & Jerry‘s. Ahh, and I wish I brought my kite as well. Here’s why it’s all about peace, love and ice-cream.
