I’m on afternoon shift today. Love being alone. Dancing around in the living room with “500 Days of Summer” soundtracks playing in the background.

P.S. I was enjoying my “me time” until my granny came home from her checkup. Boo.

I bought a pretty love letter necklace from Quixotic Inc, an online accessories shop I got introduced to! This is a little Valentine’s Day present for myself, to remind me of the One who truly loves me and His Agape Love.

I love the vintage feel of this necklace! It makes it precious.

I love it! I love it!

It’s not a love story. It’s sad. It’s funny. It’s warm. It’s a story of boy meets girl.

I love the soundtrack. In line with the playfully unorthodox nature of the film, the soundtrack featured a host of offbeat artists, including Regina Spektor, Feist, Black Lips, Doves, Carla Bruni, and The Smiths!

I am in love and yes, I totally agree with my sister, I am glad Tom found autumn.

I came across iheartcosmetics.co.uk – a beauty blog from UK – on AngMoGirl’s blog! Sarah Smith, a beauty blogger from UK, blogs about hair, makeup, skincare and fashion! I love her useful makeup tutorials and reviews!

I also found a nice purple cross which I thought will make a perfect gift for my purple-fanatic friend! She has got a cross from her guy but I am sure she will love this new addition to her purple-family! It’s nothing new or expensive but just thought she will appreciate it better than I do.

In case you’re wondering, these items are not from Tiffany.

Flower shopping in Lim Chu Kang’s nursery is part of the fun in CNY preparations!

I love flower shopping at the nursery!

Just got back from the nursery with a  bunch of flowers.

Am cleaning up my room.

Going to do CNY goodies shopping later!

It’s a fashion documentary. An invitation to the mystical world of fashion. A documentary decoding the mystery in bringing a Vogue issue to the newsstand.

Anna Wintour’s office is like a wonderland and my dream wardrobe! Anna is like a Pope in Vogue- well respected by fashion followers in America. This documentary brought new perspective to me about Anna Wintour. It seems to me that underneath her strong, cold and glamorous self, she is very much lonely in her big big world. Her siblings find her job amusing while her daughter thinks people who take fashion too seriously are hilarious. Instead of working her ass off for fashion, her daughter would very much prefer to be the one laughing.

Through her body language in the show, she seems very protective of herself (the way she crossed her arms) and the way she speaks of her family, it seems as though she’s taking pity on herself? I don’t know. I guess anyone would appreciate some family support even women who appear strong-willed and all.

In the show, I got to know another strong character – Grace Coddington, Creative Director of American Vogue. Grace is one woman whom I respect after the show. She is strong, stylish, passionate, expressive and very human. It’s a pity that she’s like a shadow in the presence of Anna Wintour.

I must be the only female in her tweens, teens or twenties who have not watched Twilight. Yes. I know. It was launched in 2008. HMPH.

I actually like it! I am blushing. GRR. No I do not fancy guys with pale face or blood red lips but the words coming from Edward Cullen’s lips were all so romantic.

# Fav. Line 1

  • Edward Cullen: I don’t have the strength to stay away from you anymore.
  • Isabella Swan: Then don’t.

# Fav. Line 2

  • Edward Cullen: I… I feel very protective of you.

# Fav. Line 3

  • Edward Cullen: I hate you for making me want you so much.

# Fav. Line 4

  • Edward Cullen: It’s like you’re my own personal brand of heroin.

With lines like these, I don’t think any girls can resist falling for Edward (minus his pale face and red lips)! My heart breaks whenever I see how painful he looks. GOSH. I hate myself for blushing and swooning like a sixteen year old for a fictitious character too young for my liking!

I finally get my chance to catch up with some DVDs I got my mum to buy.
He is away at a company dinner and I’m feeling really lazy after a hard day at the Frontline.
