Whole New chapter in 2nd half of 2010

When good opportunity come knocking on your door, there's no way you will reject it.

Staying in the west and working at Jalan Bukit Merah has been comfortable and easily accessible. It's time to move on whereby i will be working in the east and staying there 3 days per week. Saturday will be a working day and I will no longer have Monday blues.

I hope i will enjoy my new job and take up the challenge as a PA. Best thing is, I am working in the music industry! No more healthcare as it sucks my youth and happiness away. May the Lord be there with me. =)

Baby Nicole is due to arrive soon! Cant wait to see the princess cry, smile, laugh and bite. =)

And yes, i have plans for migration, will be discussing more with Mr Bf next weekend. May the Lord give us strength! I know my friends and family members are worried for me,  do pray for me that things go smoothly and i can survive there, instead.

Items i bought over the week (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

Mdscollections - Sweet Surprise Vintage top.
The material is worth the money spent. Made of durable & soft Chiffon which is not easily torn when wash.
Off shoulder top with elastic banded at neckline. Smocked at waist creating your silhouette , but when you start walking the smocked portion will move up. Thus, there's a tendency to pull your top down constantly. Althought the top is sweet, it's a little too short for me at 16", exposing a little of my hip area.

Look at it this way, if you dont have too much of a big tummy, it will add a tint of sexiness in this sweet top. =)



Megagamie - Mango inspired Kimono top in Jade.
Finally got myself a jade top (colour true to picture below). Material is slightly stretchable, cooling and easily crumpled. Loves the deep V cutting at the back. Front isn't low cut. Overall, the top is loose for me as the back is not smocked but it's only S$21.50!




Bonitochico - Chiffon tubedress in Pink/navy blue
Edit: BC's chiffon material is always the best - soft and smooth on the skin. There's inner lining thus non-sheer. What i like best about the dress is that it has anti-slip along the M Shape cutting at the bust. Thus, no need for pulling up the tubedress constantly and no worries of the M-shape top folding down. Side Zip available.

It does squeeze arm-pit fats but i guess it depends on the brassiere that one is wearing and how one adjusts the dress. It's a pretty piece with good matching colours, but i've no occasion for it and have too many similar tubedresses. So...

I am selling away BC Chiffon Tubedress in Pink/Navy. Anyone who is interested can drop me a comment with your email and i will get back to you asap. All comments with email will not be published. =D



Lastly, Bonitochico - Sequined Toga dress in Black from Jipaban.
I was attending church on thursday so i had arranged 1 female colleague & 1 male colleague to help me get this toga dress (I describe it as tarzan dress to my male colleague for easy identification).


My male colleague, sadly, failed his mission from home. And my female colleague, very smart of her, has asked help from those who were still in the office as her computer was loading real slow. Thus, Darren succeed in the mission! =D The whole office was in excitement just to grab the dress for me, thanks friends!

My phone couldnt stop vibrating during mass. JPB obviously did not do sufficient testing or research on online shopping.. like what kristineyunny said, we are the guinea pigs. =( *sob*


I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!

Evolution of Online shopping

I am glad that there's something coming up in Singapore's Business IT industry. I like Ecommerce but Singapore market is too small and brick and mortar shops do not have website that supports e-basket, unlike US or UK.



I was introduced to online shopping in Nov-Dec 2008 after i came across my friend's blog which shows a dress she has bought. Honestly, once you've started buying you will soon be addicted to buying online, many live examples around. 

As time passed by, blogshop owners became well-to-do and popular, and they upgrade their blogshops to websites with ebasket. To name a few, hervelvetvase and hollyhoque.

And now, soon to be launched Asia-Pacific Online Shopping Mall - Jipaban. The all time favourite, Bonitochico will be launching some exclusive clothes there (means no BO).

I wonder what is so special about Jipaban and what will Singapore's evolution of ecommerce going to be like in a few years time? I wish i will be the first few to know...

As usual, I end my post with what i've bought this week:

Got instocks for the following:

Indulgescenes - First time buying from them. Bought Floral Ruffle Top for just S$18 mailed! It was initially sold at S$23.50 mailed for members only but few days later they had a members sale ! =) The fabric is good, design and prints worth my S$18. But i had to meet the owner yesterday to collect it as she sent me a wrong item. Features tie back and drawstring at waist:





Agneselle - Got this bustier dress in pink by impulse. I am a uk8-10 and this dress is super loose on me, it can fit a big uk10 for sure. Bust area is neither tight nor low cut as compared to the popular grecian dresses. The straps are real long, i dont think it has anything to do with my shoulders. So ladies who have small frame or wears UK8 and below...please dont get this dress unless you dont mind altering.

Other than that, the material is good and it looks pretty! Non sheer but seamless undies advisable.




Foggiare - English Rose Dress in grey. It was once available in nude, wanted to get it but decided not to. So i cant miss this dress again. Causal & sweet! Stocks still available in grey & black.

Material is soft, comfortable and slightly stretchy. Good for causal days and the hot weather in Singapore. Velvet tie back so that one wont look preggy in it.



Look at their self-designed envelope. So unique & there's a 5% coupon too! I wish i can help some interested blogshops to design unique envelope. If only my friends own blogshops..




Lastly, Ribbon Clogs in PINK from Yventually.  She's selling the cream but may open pre-order for pink. I was lucky that the supplier has the pink in my size. =) Pretty!




The only BO i joined this week belongs to Bonitochico. I joined a total of 11 BOs and none of it are here yet! So frustrating especially on Hollyhoque. Waited for 2 months and the vintage lace sleeved top hasnt arrive!

Knit Off-shoulder top in Pink & Acid wash tulip skirt! It must be lovely~ ♥



Taking my Off in Lieu on 12 May with Mr bf & Mag. =) Gonna spend quality time with my loved ones! ♥♥♥
