A week in a flash;

Published June 15, 2012 by Noispollution

A week ago, I was in Krabi with the best travel mates.. Enjoying our Thai food dinner, basking and chatting under the starry night, and sleeping soundly in a beautiful beach resort. Fast forward a week later, here I am in my room preparing for work tomorrow. BAM!

Nonetheless, it’s been a fruitful day/week so far. Here’s a snapshot of the past week for me!

Monday

Stared hard at my tan, and even mommy commented that I look like a real Thai now. Anyhow, I still decided to dress in coral red to drive the Monday blues away. And the blues really got to me, especially having just returned from an ultimate Krabi getaway. Pouts*

That aside, I realised taking photos of WIWT daily really helps me to put in extra effort in dressing up! I used to be lazy, and would just grab any top/bottom from the wardrobe, but now I take time to make sure that I mix and match my wardrobe pieces. Mommy also commented that it helps me to avoid using the excuse, “I have no clothes to wear!“, when I actually do have new pieces -___- lol.

Pull & Bear blouse x Bugis Street skirt x Mitju wedges x Flea Market bag x Casio Vintage watch


Impromptu meet-up with my sis after work, and we decided to catch dinner together as well at Carl’s Jr. Seriously, two set meals cost us S$23++ -________- I really think it’s a little too pricey for fast food, haha.

Good chat with her as always :) Am always thankful for the close relationship that my sister and I have, XOXO.
Check out her cute METAL teeth!

Then, we went shopping for a while, and landed ourselves in shoe shopping! Two pairs of shoes for S$30 from Rubi! I love the cap toe design, while she loves her blue loafers. Happykiddosplease! The promotion is still ongoing I believe, but one thing about shoe sales – sizes usually run really big or small (think Size 39 – 41, and 35 – 36).

Tuesday
A long Tuesday packed with work, and new roles added to the current job scope. It’s getting overwhelming for me, and I’m having thoughts/intentions of speaking to relevant parties about it. No point adding on workload to my current pile, as it would only decrease effectiveness and efficiency, right? Nonetheless, I am still trying my best to remain positive about this.

Before the movie “Prometheus”, we had a quick dinner at Wadori (Jurong Point)! My order was Set B, and it’s priced at S$5.20 (iirc) with Chicken Karage, Grilled Pork Belly, Grilled Chicken, and Chicken Balls, and rice. Though the food wasn’t too bad, I still very much prefer Tori-Q over this ;)

Movie Review: “Prometheus”

Prometheus Poster

Details:
2 hr 4 min – Action, Horror, Sci-fi
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green and Michael Fassbender

Walked into the movie theater without much expectation or knowledge of this movie, I only knew that there’s some aliens involved in the storyline and there’s a mixed reviews about it. I must say some parts were pretty gore, and we had to cover the screen at a few scenes. LOL! Still, the effects were awesome and it definitely got us glued to the screen for the whole two hours. Interesting story-line, and definitely worth to give it a go!

Ended Tuesday with Stan craving for Tom Yum soup, so we had to make do with a totally different ‘local Tom Yum’ spicy soup from Koufu. Haha!

Wednesday

WIWT
Dano blouse x SMooch Paperbag Waisted Skirt in Grey x Flea Market bag

My first time wearing this skirt out! It’s a real comfy piece, albeit a little too long on me. Loving the design and the drapes! Gonna wear it out more often now :)

Quite a bad mid-week, but I remembered the tweets and texts from lovelies got me through the day… A drained day summed it all up. Then, YT shared this piece with a few peeps on Instagram, and I thought it really hit the nail on the head!

To be honest, (here goes the guilt trip) I haven’t been hard-working with my running regime and the last I really had a good run was actually Sundown! Ok now I’m even guiltier, haha. Though we did some sports (hiking, trekking, and a little bit of swimming) in Krabi, I seriously miss my running! Shall put on the running shoes this weekend, and start the regime proper. The Twitter babes really helped too, with their posts of run logs, and it works a hell hard to motivate me. SHAPE RUN in one month’s time yo!

Thursday

WIWT
Herwalkincloset blouse x Love, Bonito floral peplum skirt x ASOS clutch x OMEGA vintage timepiece

On Parent Care leave yesterday ‘cos no one else was available (work commitments) to accompany my mom for her follow-up check-up, so I could dress down a little bit yesterday. I took two old pieces from my wardrobe, and pieced them together in time for this season’s trend! Heh, I love how versatile these two pieces are, and certainly peplum is the way to go now! I also brought out my ‘new’ ASOS clutch for the first time :) loving the design, and check out how roomy it is! I’ve brought out my card wallet, wallet, toiletries pouch, mini water pottle, TBS comb, and my phone… yet, it’s still easy to carry around and chic too. Yay!

xx

Everything turned out to be ok, and I also had an impromptu check-up as well. FYI, my mom went for her check-up with her gynae whom she’s been with for the last 25 years. It felt pretty weird to meet the doctor who delivered you, I must say! LOL.

Dr. Kowa is very experienced, and a couple of my relatives have been referred to him for medical advice related to women’s issues. Here’re his details, if you’re interested :) hope it helps!

After the check-up, I decided to give my mom a proper meal treat ‘cos I realised I haven’t really done so yet. -________- We settled on Domani (an Italian restaurant situated in Ngee Ann City, it used to be called The Pasta Cafe) ‘cos their lunch special is really worth it and how many opportunities can one (working) person have to enjoy a weekday lunch promotion? Heh.

*Photos were taken with iPhone 4, with no enhancements made*

We both ordered the same set – Petit Platter; this is what its website states – Petit Platter : Spaghetti with shrimp, clam and squid in tomato cream sauce. Caesar salad and salami, baked tilapia fish and shimeji mushroom with spicy mango sauce, bacon wrapped caprese with balsamic vinegar sauce. Delish pasta, and this dish allowed us to sample different sides with the pasta! The set meal comes with Potato Soup and drinks, which we chose its aromatic House Coffee.

Given the amount of food and its quality, I must say S$15.90++ per meal is reasonable. And, the service was good so that topped it up!

Retail Therapy

My new Longchamp LM Metal Medium Short Handle Tote in Petrol! All prices for Le Pilage and Metal bags have gone down in Singapore now. This costs S$174, and it was retailing at about S$210! Whee :) was contemplating between this and the Le Pilage medium tote in Fuchsia, but I thought this piece looks better and I have enough Le Pilage totes already. Sis is going to get her Le Pilage bag-pack tomorrow, double yays. Offer while stocks last, so hurry down! :) FYI, I purchased mine from Paragon outlet; they only have Petrol available for LM Metal totes, and more of classic colours only for Le Pilage. :)

SMooch Scallop Shorts in Almond (Size M) x Topshop Basic Top x MYnt Shop Snowflake Necklace

Carted out this piece during the recent SMooch sales! I was in a dilemma over this or the orange peplum shorts, but decided to get this ‘more versatile’ piece instead. The material is luxe, and I love the matching belt that came together with it! It fits nicely on me, but I think it’s not buffet/heavy-meal friendly ‘cos it can show the tummy pretty obviously. Other than that, it’s definitely a steal at S$20.80 /grins.

Something personal…


Anyways, I had a good chat with my mommy over lunch yesterday. Though we’re really close, but I hardly share anything from work or personal life with my family members ‘cos I always think that they’re busy and/or have their own share of woes. To me, if it’s something that I can stomach on my own, I’ll leave it just like that and not bother them. But yesterday, I bared my heart all out to her, and I took her by surprise. LOL! I shared with her quite a lot of things relating to Stan and work. It’s not easy, really not easy… But I’m so glad that we took this chance to have this talk, and cleared the air about lotsa stuff :’) Thank you dear Momsy, she’s my pillar of strength and always will be.

xx

That sums up a super duper long entry :P so happy to clear this draft post. It took me a few nights, and one early morning T.T Heh! TGIF dear peeps! Can’t wait to get through (hell) work day and usher in the weekends ;) First up, dinner with my bestfs from work tonight. :)

XOXO, Noi

Retail therapy from SMoochSG, MGG, and offline shopping;

Published April 17, 2012 by Noispollution

April has been a dry month so far, no thanks to fabulous launches and offline shopping. To put it nicely, it’s been an over-dosage of retail therapy lately. LOL! Excuses aside, I’ve been doing some window shopping with Stan at MBS and it’s tugging my heart-strings for the YSL clutch. Now that it’s OOS in Singapore, I can rest my mind (and wallet) on it temporarily.

REVIEW TIME!

SMooch Meet Me at 9 Dress in PurpleLilac
Just received this from my postbox :) speedy delivery it is! I got it in Size M, and it fits loosely on me. Not that I mind a single bit ‘cos I can wear it comfortably to work. The material is fabulous too, and the length is just right for me. Not my usual colour palette, but I guess this SMooch piece is a first then. :) Paired it with MYnt Shoppe Snowflake necklace. A keeper, yay!

xx

Megagamie (MGG) Gipsy Boho Blouse in Purple
Tried this piece at KissJane previously, and I commented for it on the same night. Heh, another new colour to my wardrobe (purple)! I can foresee this piece to be my favourite wear for weekend, or Friday dress down day at work. The material is smooth, though it’s a little too big on me. I guess it can be worn tucked in to appear less baggy then. A keeper too, yay!

xx

SMooch Tipped Collared Shirt in Cobalt Blue
A fab piece that came with an affordable price tag of S$24 mailed. It really resembles the Topshop piece, and I love the shade of this cobalt blue too! It’s not too bright, yet it stands out among navy based colours. The asymmetrical hem makes it even more unique than the normal collared blouse, and it could worn with pants for work days too. Hope to hunt down other colours now! :)

xx

Offline loot;
Loving my new silk top from Pull & Bear :D it’s high-collared and super comfortable to wear in. The price tag was a little heartpain for me at S$50. LOL, but I think it will remain a staple in the wardrobe (provided I don’t put on weight that is)!

xx

Ref: UK10, 168cm

Don’t hit me when I say that I’m getting a tad upset about the fats on my face -___- even Stan said I look like my baby fats are back to haunt me. Someone help to smack him please, but my sis and mom are saying that I should put on weight. Gotta keep the health in check first I say, especially since my gastric hasn’t been behaving lately. Back to essays again…

 xoxo, Noi

A week documented in visuals;

Published November 27, 2011 by Noispollution

A whirlwind week that saw the end of my exams for this semester, I can only say that I have done my best and I pray for a smooth transition to the next semester! Another round of events over the weekend, work events that is. Last Friday and Saturday, I had a long car journey; so, out of boredom, I dabbled with my iPhone and snapped a couple of images of the beautiful clouds. This got me to be kind of fascinated with scenic landscapes and sky photography now! Check out the amateurish shots below, heh.

~Poofy clouds~

~Baby, we can rule the world~

And last Friday evening, I had a great night with my KAL babes at our beloved Jenn‘s wedding. Thanks hannie for accompanying me to get some tonics for mommy, prior to making our way to Grand Hyatt Hotel =) On the way there, we met up with Yun and Yiling too! As usual, the endless gossips kicked start ;D Arriving at the wedding dinner venue, we were delighted to know that Jenn and Azlan had prepared a photo-booth corner for the dinner guests. Needless to say, with the camwhore nature in us, we had fun at the photo-booth and even more fun when the rest of the KALs arrived (Prisc and Lynn!). Here are a couple of photos to sum up the fun and laughters we had that night :B once again, congrats to the newly-weds – Jenn and Azlan!



And here’s a photograph of my OTD with my new SMooch Goldie Obi Belt. The belt is pretty unique with the gold rope to fasten the belt, and it can worn in many ways (major love). I would say that it would complement any top or dress, and makes a good accessory too! A gem for S$15, super worth it! The dress is another prized gem that mommy had picked for me from a retail store located at Jurong West Blk900+ area, a surprise find in a neighbourhood area.

And ending this post with my current screensaver that would possible melt any girl’s heart – Zhendong Ke, the male lead of the renowned movie “You’re the Apple of my Eye”. :B

(p.s. thanks to all for your well-wishes/ messages =) mommy’s op went ok, and we are praying for optimistic results now)
(p.p.s. all the above images are taken with my iPhone)
