Saturday

Had brunch with Ray over at Swensens and damn their cookies & cream milkshake is goooood~ tastes heavenly - am a cookies & cream lover, pretty sinful too, haha. Need to start exercising/running soon!!! Especially after this one week off from work with just eating and sleeping in between plus some shopping but I'd still feel lethargic when I reach home when the day has barely started or something.

X'mas party again last night at my cousin's which felt more like cny cause we were all gambling for more than half the night! Haha. Never felt more happier to have more x'mas dinners, especially with your loved ones :)

Merry X'mas from my family :)

This year was probably one of the few years I celebrated christmas with different groups of people; my family, colleagues at work, and my sec sch friends (our first x'mas celebration tgt). I wouldn't ask for more especially since I have a short break from work now to spend time with my loved ones. I shall let the photos do all the talking :)

Merry X'mas to one and all! :)

Finally, the weekends

I picked my fav boy up @ habourfront centre after my work ended on "DOOMSDAY" Friday! Felt really happy to see him again after so long and this time welcoming him back with arms wide open, after peeping through the frosted glass doors for so long trying to spot him on the other side of the arrival hall, haha. Can't wait to spend my holidays wisely with him, and not forgetting all my other fav ppl for x'mas this year especially ;)
Shall go sleep now, can't wait for my so called getaway tmrw v^.^v
Goodnight readers :) stay tuned! <3

Week 16 @ Intern

It's going midnight now and I'm so so sleepy.. Currently blogging from my iPhone with my eyes almost half closed, haha.
Yesterday was Arvin's last day of work. He was my RP mate who came in to Baxter (the company I'm interning at) with me, along with Si Jie & Adilah. Me being the only one in DMTS whereas they're all from DBIO (Biotechnology) made me feel kinda left out initially, or just by thinking about it before work even started back then made me feel really nervous, like as if I wasn't cut out nor ready for this at all. But I'm happy to say now that after 16 weeks have past, my first impressions changed for all of them + my other colleagues (usually the case isn't it? Haha) and that I too, would miss this place, miss my friends I made there when it's my turn to leave. It kinda hit me knowing that I probably wouldn't see most of em ever again after my intern ends. Thanks Arvin, for all that you've done and helped me with and keeping me company when I'm bored and restless. Jason and I will miss you when work reopens again in Jan! See ya soon for more prata! :) I wish you all the best <3

Wed

Shall do a quick post before I head to bed. & guess what, it's only 2 days away to my holidays!!! = no work for about a week and a half? Total love for sleep <3 I hate getting up early, especially knowing the fact that you have to travel so far from your home :<
Tomorrow 2 ppl will be leaving my company; my intern friend Arvin who has always been there and a great help to me, and also another one of my colleague who has decided to pursue her own drems overseas. & I wish them both all the best from the bottom of my heart and know that I probably won't ever have a chance to see em both again. Will miss em.
I collected my pretty romper today over at haji (vainpot boutique) and I super super love it hehe, and I love how it fits me just nice though it kinda gives me a lil wedgie x) hahaha.. Can't wait to wear em out.
+ I need to do a flea soon!!! I have so many clothes I don't wear anymore nor have worn before (mostly bought on impulse) which I wanna sell. Like they all say, "One man's junk is another man's treasure".
I shall turn in now, goodnight all! :) <3

Becky

Keeping me company :)

TGIF

Am having a really bad cold and sore throat, tgt with a fever just sucks.. Don't feel like getting out of bed, eating, nor doing anything at all. Am so lazy to even visit the doc's & get an mc just to excuse myself from work too :< People are going to go out/party today while I'm stuck at home with a bad cold. At least I have my fatty becky (my dog) for company :>

Tuesday morning

Am currently on my way to work now with my heavy eyelids x.x blogging using the blogger app which is really convenient, can totally blog on the go ^.^
Almost everyday I don't get enough sleep (4-5 hrs). Just sucks cause I feel like a zombie every day at work. And damn, it's only Tuesday -..-
I went on a lil x'mas shopping trip last night with my sister, spending close to about a $100+ on getting x'mas gift cards/tags, paper bags, a gift for my colleagues at work and etc. I kept seeing gingerbread man stickers and gingerbread items everywhere I couldn't help but be attracted to all of it, hahaha. I still have many presents I have to get!!! Though it kinda pains me to spend so much this month, but I always loved getting gifts for people, especially when it comes to handpicking out gifts individually for each person. Sometimes, you may actually just end up finding out more about em as well while choosing a gift for them :)
Can't wait to see the look on all their faces when they unwrap their presents :)

Hair makeovers

Made an appointment for my sister and I to do our hair at Salon Vim yesterday after reading many positive reviews on the salon online. So we decided to give it a try, though we knew our pockets were gonna get burnt deep :x
My sister was looking at dipdyes and I was looking for a trim + some highlights in my hair. Our total bill came up to about $460+! (Say whuuuuuuuuuut) - butttttttt we totally loved how our hair turned out in the end and their stylists/director were really professional and friendly, together with good service, so definitely a plus point which I haven't come across in other salons just yet :)

So here is a pic of my hair before I went to the salon: Just so dull and boring and frizzy somehow. My ends were like crisp grass haha! 

 I was actually looking to do a texture perm (for flat boring hair and you wanna add some volume + waves to it) + colouring, but my stylist recommended me not to do both at one time as it would really damage my hair, especially since my ends were already bad/dry and I had to do bleaching to get the colours I want for my highlights. So I had a trim and decided to do colouring only instead.

Bleaching in progress...............

 

Picking the crazy colours for myself; I chose the darkest purple and pink!

 

Sister's bleached hair (Looking like a partial blondie)

 

PINK! :)

 

End result of her dip dye after mixing two colours, I'm lovin'it as well :)

 

My highlights after bleaching

 

Thanks Salon Vim for this wonderful hair colour! :) Love my senior stylist Lillian as well. I'd definitely recommend her if you're interested :) She was a really great listener/helper to my hair problems and fixed it all up according to my preferences. Love how the colours turned out really nicely and how I wanted it. I told her I wanted it to be seen, but not so obvious so she highlighted areas under my hair whereby if I were to pin it up, the colours would turn out pretty bright and obvious but when I let it down without pinning it up, it wouldn't turn out so obvious. Pictures below! :)

Feeling like a mermaid with short hair :3 hahaha
I would totally go back there to do my colours again (when I have the extra $ :p)
Thanks Salon Vim!
From a satisfied and happy customer :)

Do make an appointment first before going down to get your hair done :)
