Our dear girl came back from the US after.... a year???

Ilane babe :) and she's looking all radiant and pretty!! *misses*

Poor Xin and her waited for yours truly to off work. I reached town almost 8 and i guess all of us were famished by then!

We ended up at Orchard Central's Spageddies!

Luckily we didn't wait too long for the Yummy food :D\

Xin and i

Xin and Yue

Me and Yue with our sinful Chocolate brownie, hehe :)

Yue gave me a really, really pretty "Say Hello Palette"! I love it sooooo much!!!!
You must be wondering what "Say Hello Palette" is, ahaa... Photos of pretty in the next post!!! hehe
:)

By the way, my D&D dress came in the post and..... WOAH.
Great dress, wahahaa..

Visiting Far East Plaza after so many years brought back memories of my NIE days, haha..


I remember going there with Esther babe almost every week and combing through the shops :)
I went there after work last night.
An off-shoulder top on a mannequin caught my eye and i knew it was something i would love, haha
It was very expensive cos it's imported from Japan... and when the salesgirl handed over the paper bag, i realised it was one of those shops i loved to frequent back in my NIE days but never bought anything from (cos everything's so costly).

Mis'skuzi

Not that i'm richer now. Just that, i have not been 'physically' shopping around for helluva long time. (OKAY. i buy alot of clothes online).. this is just to feed that 'addiction' since.

The flowery skirt that comes with it cost a hefty $89.90! So i only bought one piece from the shop. haha..
Jayen kept asking me how much this off-shoulder top cost but i refused to disclose, lol... so pls don't ask me how much here. The skirt is 89.90, so u can roughly guess how much the top cost already, haha

I wore it out today, hehe

;)

After tuition, we went shopping at NEX. NEX has always been a place for our weekday movies dates. We hadn't really been shopping there since it's like super near to my place.
Ask u go ur house downstairs shop u also will feel darn sian right, haha


But we had fun today! :)
Jayen helped me pick some really nice clothes from Nichii. I love this particular shop cos i think their clothes have quite nice designs and more importantly, it's rather affordable. It's a Malaysian brand.

Grey knitted shrug for cold office days.


I super love this lacy insert!!!
COS IT'S SUPER CHEAP!!! wahahahhaha~ It was on 70% sale and only cost $11.97!!!!!!


super great buy, hur hur hur!!

I also tried on a 3/4 sleeve work-worthy top


love the elastic gathers behind... But didn't buy in the end :)

The boy also shopped for his clothes at KITSHEN, hehe

This shop has quite fashionable clothes with decent price-tags too!
but the brand name abit like sell cooking ware one.
I just googled it and it's also a malaysian brand!

Thumbs-up for chic and cheap malaysian brands! hahaa

Lastly, my super-atas dinner at the Food court, wahaha

u wont believe what hoe-liao i found.
BUDDHA JUMP OVER THE WALL from some famous chinatown stall..

Abalone lor! don't pray pray.



*SLURP!* i still wanna drink it now lorr

i'm in the mood to spend these few days, hehe
because i was waiting for that extra cash to come in and it did before my payday next week :)

Something i wanted for the longest time


Gel plaster for removing keloid scars. I know it's not going to work on my 18- year old BCG scar, but still, there's no harm trying.

The gel sheet has to be stuck on the scar for 12 hours.. for 2-3 months. Washable and reusable :)
This stuff is said to work wonders on keloid scars, according to reviews and the pharmacist.. but she added that it won't be effective on old scars, since my skin has already gotten used to it being there :(

Still, i'm not giving up :)


Guess what's my new toy i got from Thomson Plaza :)

teehehee~ an 4 GB thumb drive :p

It comes in all sorts of designs, it amazes me! From necklaces, jewellery, keyrings and even cards-thumbdrives!

i must be careful not to lose its legs.

Lastly,

:)

My HadaLabo's run out.. so Hyaluronic Acid in a cute Kitty tub, who can resist? :D


And met up with boyfriend after work today.. we went for a super-long-wait-yet-fulfiling-dinner @ AMK S11. Then, we went AMK hub's NTUC to walk around. Can't stand it, we becoming like auntie and uncle liao, frequently visiting Giant's, NTUC etc...
hehe

Managed to get some great buys!! haha

cameo bermudas from Tiong Kok on sale :D

we were trying to find the right size but realised all of them are H-sizes.
Jayen says H-size means Huge, haha

Looks good to wear and go neighbourhood, isn't it? lol

and that silly boy thinks he can fool the staff and walk out of NTUC like that, without paying -_-


Lok kok day, i like :)

i'm staring at this space for the longest time and i have nothing interesting to write.

:(
it's quite sad, cos i think i have no life, haha

i'm working like there's no tomorrow because i have certain goals i want to hit. However, come October, i will be able to relax a little more, so it's just half a month for me to PIA.
hehe.. Hopefully by then, my life is not so boring with just work and nothing else. I was telling boyfriend over the phone just now that i think i 走火入魔 allady.

i think i better go dig out my 30 Days Challenge and start writing about Day......... (wait, i have no recollection!)



I think, i can change it to 30 Weeks challenge instead liao -_-

And the entry for Day 1 post was back in January! Madness, haha


Okay, so Day 2 – The meaning behind your Blogger name

Erm. Blogger name is Peppermin (for short, PPM).
As to why it's named after some 'flavour' / herb, i have seriously no idea. I think i was trying to act cute back in my secondary sch days, so i gave myself a 'cute' email ID --> peppermink.
Many people have asked me why the last alphabet is a K instead of a T, the reason being....... i wanted 'peppermint' but someone else beat me to it, haha.. so i changed it to K. As simple as that

Then it evolved into 'Mink'. As in, some of my close friends (even my auntie! *faints*) called me "Mink" haha
after which, thankfully, nobody remembered after many years... cos i found out, Mink refers to fur from some animal that looks like a weasel.

Then, it slowly evolved to peppermin, cos Min is the last syllable of my chinese name.
hehe

And in case you are wondering, No, i hate the taste of Peppermint.
Maybe tomolo i can blog about Day 3, hehe
wish me luck

i wanted to blog so much these few days, but i'm feeling really tired :(
Simply can't keep my eyes open, sigh....

Today was mid-autumn and i can say it's my favourite festival, because i love to eat mooncakes!!!!!
Traditional lotus paste ones with egg yolk!! YUM YUM :)
Boss said we might have sales meeting this evening, so i made sure Jayen and i celebrated mid-autumn fest a day before! hehe

End up, sales meeting was cancelled and we still went ahead and celebrated twice this year, haha

Yesterday, we headed to Bishan Park at night. It was such a nice place after the 'revamp'. Though it's not officially open yet (cos the so-called beach is still under construction), there were many people there playing with lanterns and candles.

And there were wooden deck benches like this for you to lie on and watch the stars :)

Jayen was lighting up candles along the bench, hehe

while i lit up the other side...

i bought along 2 lanterns, 3 boxes of candles and 2 pig baskets (猪笼) mooncakes, hehe


There was a couple next to us who have put these up!! Aren't they pretty?


Look at the crowd! hahaa...

Eating my mooncake...


teeheehee~~

And got super lots of cam-whoring pics, hehe




baby

Jayen is very proud of his green coloured lantern.
He kept chanting, "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware of my Green Lantern's light....."
-____-



one of my favourite pic!!

This was what adopted both of our lanterns before we left for home! :p


And this evening after work, jayen came over to my neighbourhood to celebrate "Part 2" :)
We walked over to some park and started playing with sparklers and candles!

baby 'lighting' up a bench in the park with candles.
He says playing with candles was his favourite 'hobby' during mid-autumn festival since he was a kid.


i no 童年 one. I never played with candles nor lanterns :_(
i only got one battery-operated lantern given by my grandpa when i was 8.




Spotted someone trying to fly a Sky Lantern!! 孔明灯!

I heard it is illegal to fly one in Singapore, but.... i think nobody bothers, haha

It's really amazing! This lantern attracted alot of onlookers.
When the lantern slowly rose up into the night sky, all of us cheered. LOL

The funny part was when the wind started blowing it towards the HDB flat which was next to the park.. the lantern kinda got stuck at some window on the highest floor.. eventually it managed to rise further and all of us shouted, "YEAHHH!!"

hahaaa...

It was time to go home and we 'cleaned' up the bench by scraping all the candle wax into one big lump. Jayen was trying to squeeze it into a ball of wax (yuks!) and guess what came out of it?

A heart-shaped ball of wax, haha!

he claims that when there is love, even a ball of wax in his hand can turn out to be heart-shaped.
AWWWWWW~ :D

heh.. happy mid-autumn fest to all. I buay tahan liao, have to SLEEP RIGHT AWAY.
omg it's 1am

nites~~!
