My wallet could actually echo by the time the one-week holiday was over. It was shopping everyday at various shopping malls and places that spell fun!
Bestie Joyce & I beholding the shopping haven, Bugis
Statement tees came in abundance! I was spoilt for choice, no seriously. @_@ In the end, BestieJoyce picked a few and so did I
After a whopping 5 hours in Bugis, yes purchases were made by all of us! Including the dudes that accompanied us. Looks like we were devoid of the willpower to control our cashflow!
Men (and women) in black
I was awfully tempted to buy this tophat. Truth be told, I’ve always wanted one. *grins* but never found a valid reason to own it. Neither would I wear it out. Ohwells. So, it’s a no-no for me
Felix the Cat, much?
^_^
Bugis wasn’t the only place we shopped, obviously. We hit every single building along the stretch of Orchard which sold any merchandise. Yes, that would mean all the shopping malls. Be it high-end to the lowest end, we did not miss any!
Girls being girls
One of the places we patronized was of course, Aldo. My favorite brand for footwear, after Charles & Keith. They have such sexy heels, bags and accessories – I so cannot resist!
and thankewww x 100
for that lovely pair of Aldo heels, ducclebears!
Both medarlings acting silly in Aldo
Typical them!
Shopped around for some blouses to wear to work too.
As the dress code for the magazine company I’m interning for is semi-formal/smart casual, I don’t have to go all Miss Prim & Proper black-tie-power-suit everyday. Phew!
Bought a few of these simple and comfy blouses from Dorothy PerkinsAldo again, yes BestieJoyce and I were certainly drawn to that outlet; as we’ve always been.
We bought a matching pair of pretty flip-flops from there too!Hers on the left and mine on the right
One can never have enough vibrant flip-flops!
Seeing double?
Well double it!
As a student-cum-intern, I knew that LV’s were waaaay outta my leagueJust you wait!
Years down the road of success, I’ll be a proud owner of one!
*crosses fingers*So for now, I’ll avoid the thousands and just stick to what I deem affordable. I’ve got a long way to go peeps
One fine day, I decided to experiment something.
What if I get a blonde streak of highlights admidst my redhead?
It would look something like this :
Nahh. Looks ghastly beyond words
As expected, I decided against it
XP
Youth Park was one of the places we hungout as well.
Trust me, it was nothing like the Youth Park back in Penang. Back there,
Youth Park was more of a huge park with jogging tracks, trees, playgrounds and routes leading to hiking grounds.But Singapore’s Youth Park differed in terms of concept and layout.
Us against a huge mock double-deckered bus
Ballerinas in dire need of practice?
LOL
The Youth Park here was more of a huge hangout area beside the Ministry Of Youth & Sports headquarters or state council, I wasn’t that clear of the name. But it was a very youth and urban oriented place.
Graffiti on the park benches!
I’ve always been drawn to artsy stuff
Impressive murals on the walls of the buildings nearby
The
best part about this youth park was that there was a
very famous eatery adjacent to this building.
Behold people, the insanely populated Botak Jones!
Oh by the way,
the
trivia written in white font was actually printed on the menu itself.
XP
A simple place capable of serving delicious meals in gigantic portions.
And can you scream
AFFORDABLE?? Woots!
What could be a better deal for huge-sized delectable meals worth every cent that you fork out?They use Heinz & Plochman dressings too!
^_^
*licks lips*Although this one-week holiday made me turn somewhat like a bon vivant, I know that holidays will always end soon. S
o why not make the best of it?
Get your cutlery ready, readers!
Treated to a delightful seafood platter
This meal looks pretty suggestive, no?
Beef lasagne from Dome Cafe
A meal which cannot be consumed by ONE individual alone
Pictures my looks deceiving, but it was an A4-sized chicken murtabak with cheese and eggs
Tasty Hong Kong duck noodles from Food Republic
Goes without saying, Unagi Maki from Sake Sushi
And a whole lot of food,
enough to satiate my devious appetite!
Calories gained must be burnt off gradually, however little.
Ven and I promised to dance the DDR routines the moment she got back to SingaporeAND WE DID!
Staying out late almost every night made us all even more hyper to explore every nook and cranny of Singapore. We passed by this arty statue and attempted to imitate its position.
The trio of imposters
sue us!
And when no one was looking, we did it again indoors!
Okay fine,
the security guard chuckledOn certain evenings, we didn’t hustle and bustle with the jostling crowd in all its busy-ness. Ducclebears took me to a serene place called Riverside to chill.
Loved the sights and the view from here.Wished I lived in a home with such a view!
then again, who doesn’t?
Many other interesting sights & sounds, but that’s another story. Coming up soon! But for now,
MUCHAS GRACIAS TO THE PEEPS
THAT MADE MY HOLIDAY A BLAST!
Yes that includes the cookie&brownies babes YZ & YL!
especially:
ducclebears♥
