Everything is back to normal... more or less

Good news ! My mum is back from hospital..I am so relieved. At least she is at home now, I do not have to worry too much.

Now I have many things to look forward to. I wanna try new food.. haha..I am on diet but as long as is in moderation should be OK =D. I wanna try the new Pringles flavour of potato chips and also wanna go and eat at a new sushi place call Standing Sushi Bar @ Raffles Place.

I need to attend my bf's cousin's wedding dinner next mth and I really need to control what I eat :(.. no choice ..Haizz

And also next mth, I have a friend who is having her b'day and we are going to Sentosa for a relaxing day. I am gonna discuss with her abt packing our own meals , like having a picnic =D .. we can have healthy food like sandwiches, salad , etc. And also my Pringles Prawn cocktail potato chips ! HAHAHA.. I know is not healthy food but I am sharing with her ..so is OK :P ..IF we are lazy, which we probably will, we will buy food there .. LOL . Since we will be at the beach area, we can see guys too.. hmmm nice.. LOL ..provided there are any as is a weekday ... not so crowded I guess

Well, I will slowly countdown to the days.... can't wait ! =D

No mood... =(

I know some of you are concern abt me being unemployed now, that's why u all bother to advice me. I really appreciate it. Really I do.

But my present situation, I cannot focus on other things, as u all know that my mum is in hospital and she had a emergency surgery. Is NOT pre-planned. Even though she is not critical now, but she need ppl to look after her. She is very weak and she keep telling us she is very scared in the hospital. I don't even know when she can be discharge as she is still in Surgical ICU under observation. How can I still focus on other things ? I am really very tired, mentally and physically....

So whatever you all advice me right now, I cannot do anything. Is not that I am not willing to accept your suggestions, I really cannot do anything at the moment.

Please don't compare me with other people who had similar situation, what they went thru will never be the same as mine. So what they did, may not necessary work for me, u know ?

Nonetheless, I still appreciate your concern, suggestions & advice. Do not feel offended by what I said here, I am not complaing or being whiney. If some of you want to interpret it this way, I apologise. But I do not mean it that way. I just want you all to understand my situation now & is beyond my control...

Thank you...

Confessions of a Trendy Cheapo

(credits to Selfridge 100, Flickr)

Now is already Autumn/Winter 2009 for the fashion world and I m beginning to see all the latest trend in almost every reputable magazine available.

For this season, there is still a hint of Rock 'n' Roll element shown every where as designers are incorporating it into their clothes, accessories , etc for the A/W 2009. And also animal prints are still sooooooo hot this season and it goes well with my current wardrobe I have now. =) There are so many more!! Below are some of the things I am in love with now:-

Designer style vs my own This Fashion find

Icon prints

(extrated from ELLE)

Gem Studded bag, Miu Miu

Quirky watches, me loves !

I m not someone who goes after brand, though I don't deny that I wish can own one. But being a fickle-minded person, I can never use or wear something continuously. I tend to change my taste from time to time, even if I am using my fave bag or wear my fave clothes, is always never a long term relationship.. ha ha ha. But one thing for sure, I will still use or wear them, till they are no longer in good condition.

I am also in love with this season's make up trend. See below :-

(extracted from CLEO)

Loves the pink of health look ^^

Smokey eyes rocks !

I really love the smokey eyes look simply becos it accentuates my eyes as they are my best feature .. LOL =D .

Sometimes when I was out walking on the streets, I see a lot of 'mistakes'. Those who are starting to experiment with make up , please go and seek expert's advice. It could be your (trendy) friend or a REAL expert. You can go to your fave brand make up counter in department stores and ask for FOC advice, most will be happy to show you the ways. Just ask politely and if any case the staff is rude, complain !! LOL .. whether you are buying or not; that's secondary, primary concern is you have to understand their products before making a decision anyway =D !

As for clothes, you can read local magazines to have a rough idea and find what works for you, in terms of the cutting, materials and colours. All these factors have different effects on how you look. If you really don't have spare cash for magazines, window shopping is not a bad option and ask sales girl for help and try on clothes is FOC too, ha ha .... Ya is a very cheapskate or cheapo way BUT is your own money, you can decide how you wanna spend it or save it ! =D

If the items you like is way out of your budget, look for alternatives but still keep to the style, you know what I mean ??

Bottom line, you can still look a million dollars even if you do not have a million dollars. Go on and experiment, girls !!
