of hope for Christmas

I thought I saw a glimmer of hope about 7 days ago but now it's just the dust settling. How cruel is that? Alright, actually I do still have a shimmer, a little dash of hope for anything out of the ordinary to happen these few days/in the next few weeks even.

Life at work is currently nothing short of lonely and being baked under high pressure turns you into a delicious cake eventually, no? Either that or it ends up burnt as a crisp.

While A prepares for her end of year trip (questions on Jeju accomodations on facebook! :p), all I just hope for is that life gets better in December. :)

Random pics over the very-short-I-wish-it-will-last-forever weekend.

I don't know what possessed me to buy ramen from this stall. It tastes as bad as it looks.

Looks more like laksa to me. lol!

Yummy BBQ chicken! :)

Just came across this awesome looking pair of unique wedges on Urbanog.
I'd die to get a pair in black especially since it's on sale!! :)

BUT Y U NO GIMME SIZE?

Should I get it in purple/blue? I love the blue but it's electic blue mind you. Sure to shock the minds of people around me. :\

Cloud 9.

N had a sudden surge of testosterone in him and so off we went to get him a punching bag for his mixed martial arts practice. We went to Liang Seng at Marina Square to purchase the gear + equipment.

Since N was wearing a graphic tee, I put on one to compliment him too! :)

Yes, it is that time of the year again! I can't wait for the Christmas parties! My girls and our other halves are gonna have a Christmas lunch/dinner this year, finally!

Pub crawl, unit event.

TY and myself were station masters at Berg. It's an annual event/game we hold to have teams of people run around pub hopping and playing games while clocking the fastest time possible to win the race. Of course, pub games are never complete without the booze, in this case for lack of a bigger budget, beer.

Big, small, tall or short, all lined up to do some serious damage..

Kudos to this particular team for being so sporting! The team spirit never dies even though the race was lost.

Back to Marina Square to collect the new toy N ordered! I doubt this spark of interest in mixed martial arts will last more than 6 months. Sorry N! haha.

The bling and the classic.

We love chinese food! Especially the likes of dumplings and XLBs. :)

N took 1836253482 shots of me eating the egg souffle bun cos I took that one shot of him eating. And now I know I've got a bulbous nose. Now I know why xiaopang teases me all the time, fine I was ignorant. It's not gonna change the fact that you have a bulbous nose too by the way, if you come across this. lol.

Red bean and egg filling.

Anyway, I'm in an unbelievably good mood because at least I know that the website is undergoing a facial uplift and will probably be ready soon. Though soon is very subjective and has underlying fine prints regarding whether the programmers feel like having a field day at pissing me off. *think happy thoughts and stay positive, it's good for the health!*

Let's cross our fingers and pray that everything proceeds on smoothly from hereon so that the website can magically spring back to life and we can finally breathe and speak business and gorgeous outfits/fabulous collections.

I thought that this looks like a colourblock boyfriend shirt dress that is in the midst of production / arriving in Singapore. We will try to keep everything pocket friendly, as best as we can! :)

Stay tuned to Jaynelles, A and I will stop at NOTHING to bring you the best in fashion for working ladies / chic casual / glam cocktail dinner outfits.

Let me be emo nemo.

Caution: I can tell that this blog post is headed for emo nemo land today. Read at your own discretion.

You know sometimes when you're trying too hard, people can tell that you are just whiny and too desperate in feeling that you wanna be accepted. You wanna be a part of everything. Then when you realise that you're turning into this psycho biatch, you go in the other direction and try to be cool about everything, but you're forgotten and you're neither here nor there with any clique because you realise that you don't truly belong anywhere. You just want to be alone, of course maybe snuggled up with a loved one because he assures you that he's more important than all of that and will stick with you through thick and thin.

But you will always need close girl friends around you to share your joy and pain, whatever you're going through in life. When you eventually reflect on your life journey, it'll be a blessing to have someone laugh at the goofy moments you've shared and have someone remember the tough decisions we had to call and what we stand for.

That's why I usually hang out one-on-one, I find that it's so much easier to confide in one without getting into any kind of conflict with a group of people. And I was never presented with an opportunity to become a member in a group of my own, whether it was in any stage of my life. Everyone seems to have come and gone, no one group for the long haul. No connection, everything was on a superficial level. I feel that I haven't made an impact on anyone's life, nor has anyone really made one on mine. (Actually I think Karma bit me in the ass for this. hahaha. But that's a story for another day.)

During the times when I needed attention, I was almost certain I could count on B to be there for me. I knew that we would definitely catch up to talk about stuff even if it had happened 3 months ago, or longer in fact. True story. We were similar but actually not so similar, but we could understand each other in a certain way.

Thank you, B for being such a good friend and by God's will, even though we're apart, leading separate lives over the past few years without much contact, you're still ultimately someone whom I can just pour out my heartfelt and authentic thoughts and feelings to. (The only person other than N, hee.)

I don't know whether you'll be reading this but babe, you are that blessing. :)

for the love of fun.

Since I was so overdue with posting up the brunch photolog, here's a treat for all you dog lovers / I-just-like-to-see-cute-dog-pics!

Credits to the model dog, Beamer for being such a lovable, fun-loving and cooperative dog during the photoshoot. :)
