I wake at 4:30am today! :( Feeling under-rest, I make my way to my first scrape book class.
Due to increasing cases of suicidal, SMRT heightens up safety measures.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
*Yawn yawn*
Breakfast before the class commences. This meal costs me $5.20 with a cup of hot tea.
After a brief introduction to scrape booking, we are free to pick 3 types of papers and lettering. I am spoiled for choice as there's a wide varieties of paper.
Useful tools I would love to own. The full set costs $68!
The instructor demonstrates how to form flowers and she gives this to me.
It's all about creativity when it comes to scrape booking. Unfortunately, I don't call myself a creative person. But I am sensitive to colors, shapes and texture. I am good in mix & match.
This is my work end of the class.

Lunch in Cosi. Cosi is filled with office crowd during lunchtime. Most of have them take sandwich with salad for lunch. Hmmm.. I prefer hot food in the cold weather, hence I have instant-made pizza.
Back to the room at 2.30pm. Today's a cloudy day. Hope the weather surprises me tomorrow.
My winter wardrobe.
A new flannel I get today!
Sequined bottom to wear underneath my translucent dress.
Effervescent which tastes deliciously good.
I normally get Jergens back home as the price is lower than America. This time, the USD rate is rather low, so it costs less to get in America now.
I like the new shape of the bottle!
I am a sucker for novelty. Haha. The new look simply attracts me! It looks pretty, doesn't it?
This is new flavor too!!

When I step into the room, I feel strong sense of familiarity as I was in the "same" room twelve days ago. I mean the orientation of the room is exactly the same. It brings back fond memories of my last trip with my fun companions. I leave my luggage stand at the same spot, i.e, right in front of the full length mirror outside the bathroom. Then I tell myself, this trip is not going to be the SAME as I am all alone this time round. Hence, I start laying my other stuffs in different spot so as to reduce the impact of similiarity.
11.12.2010 Game craze
Labels: daily life | at 4:19 AM
In the dead of the night, what are you doing? I am plaing words with friends. I cannot stop playing as lady luck is smiling at me! I get high scores in a row!! It's so addictive. I play until six in the morning and I didn't get to slp until eight as my mind is still active. Hence, my appointment has to be canceled.
The first opponent I chat with. She is from Washington state.
Look!! How lucky I am for getting such great cards!! Unbelievable!!
I am playing with Sharris concurrently.
She is as lucky as me! She has an E & D at the right time! I must say she is a very strong opponent!
Another high score. Yohoo!
Damn it! I give her the chance to score triple for the word!

I am facing the repercussion of a short-term pleasure I indulged in. I tell myself it's not worth the little pain I am going through now. It's going to me my first and last.

A very simple SMS from a colleague at the end of course of work, saddens me. I loathe the parting feeling! I didn't expect myself to feel this way either. Perhaps that's how woman are made! Woman are easily attached to one, for this instant, over a span of a week.
27.11.2010 My Me Time In NYC
Labels: New York, travel | at 11:06 PM
A hearty breakfast in the hotel, with LL, Simon & CL. These are all my favorites!!
Once I emerge from the underground train, I feel a strong gust of wind coming from the street! Gosh! It's real chilly today. I pop into Urban Outfitters quickly and leave with three tops an hour later.
My second stop is Forever 21 and I pick several items for my ex-colleagues for Christmas.
The Christmas fair in Union Square Park is filled with people.
My third stop. I leave with a matching scarf and glove which cost me USD 5 each.
My fourth stop. This is one shop I would not miss! The instant scratch big card allows me to enjoy 30% disc off a pair of discounted shoe I fancy.
On my way to 34th street from 14th street.
Arrive my destination finally! I am here for Steve Madden as I am hoping to get the white shoe.
Such a Carrie Brahshaw dress!! I want this dress designed by Lanvin for H&M, but it's over-priced! USD 249! Are your eyes popping?!
Here's my shopping today!!
A blue belt from H&M.
My first pair of Steve Madden!! I paid USD 36.50 after 30% discount.
I have always wanted to get a nice checked shirt. Finally find one which I like! It was USD 39 and now USD 29.
Two tees from Urban Outfitters at USD 24 for two pieces.
I am close to getting this but both stores I visit do not have a new pair. Perhaps, I should consider getting brown or black. White is the best color!!
