On Buying Books

The internet is killing me. Let me illustrate with my experience of simply buying a book. Usually normal people step into a bookstore, pick up a book, read the blurb and maybe a chapter or two to decide if they want a book. For me, it’s a crazy affair involving opening at least 3 tabs…

Surprise Birthday Present!

Received an EMS package from Japan, no need to guess whom it’s from. This birthday present is nearly two mores in the making; my BFF told me she bought me my birthday present, but refused to tell me what it is. I kept asking for clues, and only knew it’s utilitarian, and bigger than a…

Pazzion Haul

There are days when a girl just need to get new shoes. No I don’t mean getting new shoes FOR a special occasion, but just days when buying shoes is imperative for psychological wellbeing. Today just happens to be one of those days for me.

China Glaze Nail Polish Haul

Other girls like OPI, I happen to be more smitten with China Glaze. I bought 4 colours at one go through a bulk purchase scheme. I’m not sure how much China Glaze in Singapore retails for (IF it’s sold here, that is), but I simply can’t resist their sparkle collection looking at what netizens are…

Kate Haul from Johor Bahru

I went to City Square in JB with my friends yesterday for a shopping trip. We spent an entire afternoon scouring the mall. Frankly I didn’t have a shopping list for this trip; I have abundance of everything I need and possibly want. However, I was after one thing – Kate makeup. Kate is a…
