Zirca + Mink + Butter Factory; Rachel K Radiance IlluminatorCollagen + Lotus Stem Cell Hydrogel Mask

Yesterday night was clubbing night and it was so much fun in the end!!! This is the first time I've ever gone clubbing with my poly classmates, and I really enjoyed it! I have to admit that the beginning wasn't the most enjoyable, 'cause the first club we went to was Zirca (just 'cause we wanted the 3 drinks coupon that they give to all ladies every Wednesday heh heh) and there was so little peopleeee. We used up 2 drinks coupon before we decided to walk to Helipad 'cause we thought we would have complimentary drinks there as well, until I asked one of my Biotherm colleague Weiqi if we needed a guest list to be entitled for the complimentary drinks in Helipad, and she said yes. So we started feeling a bit sian for a few minutes 'cause we couldn't decide if we should head back to Zirca, or to go Butter Factory since Ashlyn said she likes to club there. Thankfully, Weiqi gave me a number to call, and the guy said that although he couldn't include us in the guest list for Helipad, he's able to include us for Mink, and so Mink we went!

The 4 pretty West-siders whom I traveled to Clarke Quay with yesterday!

Guga and I on the train! I was so excited to try this new filter that I only got to know of yesterday hahahaha

@vivienispretty and I!

Babylove (the only North/East-sider for the night hahaha) joining us at The Central's Burger King!



The 6 of us + a beautiful background!!! <3
This photo marks the area where we literally stoned for a few minutes and didn't know where to head to next after finding out we couldn't go Helipad hahahahaha
(I don't know why is C holding my pretty Katelove clutch from my dear Faz but it was only temporary!
I dislike girls who get their partners to carry their bags so I'll never do that)

Mink was definitely a lot more atas than expected HAHA, the lighting and all was really good! But the music... We were in there for more than an hour but they only played 3 songs that I HEARD before - didn't even know the lyrics! I told Guga and Vivien this, and Guga said she only heard 1 song that she knew of HAHAHAHA. So in conclusion, Mink was crowded and boring and I don't think I will ever step into it again despite the atas-ness.

Ashlyn suggested for us to go Butter Factory, and it was the best decision of the night! By this time, the alcohol started kicking in and all of us were ready to dance! The songs were trendy and amazing and they were just so good to dance to! We spent about 2 hours in total on the dance floor just dancing and singing and moving and jumping with our hands up in the air hahahaha - a prove that we all had fun!

I think I'm gonna miss clubbing/dancing pretty much, especially since my internship's starting next week and when that happens, I'll probably be too drained to club already. :( Oh wellz, yesterday's clubbing was a night to remember so I think that's more than enough! Plus we didn't spend a single cent on drinks at all hehehe #okbeingcheapohere

Just spent my night trying out the Rachel K Radiance Illuminator Collagen + Lotus Stem Cell Hydrogel Mask! I received the sample a few days ago and I was quite excited to try it out when I saw "Brightens dull skin", "Tightens pores", and "Controls sebum" written on the front of the packaging!



The 2 photos of my stupid face show how transparent the mask looks! It's actually super jelly-like and quite easy to tear, if you ask me. It's not visible from the above 2 photos but I created 3 small holes on the mask when I was trying to get them out of the packaging.

Honestly I can't really see a difference on my skin after removing the mask... Meh. Brightening wise, my Naruko's brightening mask does a much better job and I'm even able to see an immediate result. And pores wise, my Hello Kitty mask works like a charm to instantly reduce the size of my pores. And as to Rachel K's mask, I saw none? :/ My skin wasn't brighter, and neither did my pores appear to be smaller. But I believe in the ingredients that Rachel K is using in her masks, so I MAY go out and purchase one or two of them just to give them another shot!

If you're interested in getting a free sample of the same mask I tried on just now, click HERE!

& if you didn't know about this free sample redemption... You're welcome HAHAHA.

Shall end off this post with a photo of my finished DIY geometric/colour-block nails!
It's not perfect and it's messier in real life, but I guess it was a good first attempt!

Goodnight everyone xx

Clubbing tomorrow




Just uploaded pictures of my last clubbing night with my favourite girls (on 23 May hahahaha super overdued photos) and I kinda miss it! Thankfully exams are over and I'll be heading off to have some fun with a few of my favourite class peeps (including C) tomorrow!!! This week is my one and only week to fully enjoy myself before my internship commences next Monday so I really hope I will be able to make the most out of it!

Truth be told, the only things I really wish to settle are my nails (which I have done... quite messily lol) and all the photos of BLACKPOCKETS leftover stocks! I just really wish to take photos of them as soon as I can and upload them, and hopefully this will speed up the rate of clearing all the items/apparels! I'm just trying to play my part as a daughter to help my dad recoup his losses, though even if I remain optimistic to believe that I'll be able to sell every single item, my dad has still lost quite a sum of money. :(

I think this particular stage (from the beginning to the end) of setting up the whole shop proves to be a lesson learnt. A business is never easy to operate, what more a shop on its own with all the rental and bills to worry about. It really isn't something that should be done hastily, but rather, much more time should be put into thinking and discussing about whether it's truly going to be a profitable business. I just hope they've all learnt something from this event so at least all the money had not been gone in vain. 

Talking about the apparels, I guess I'll show you guys some of the pieces to be expecting:
















I'll be pricing all of the items at cheaper prices than the prices that was set back when BLACKPOCKETS was still operating. I'll try my best to price EVERYTHING below S$15 (including all the pieces seen above) but there will be nothing above S$20, I guarantee! Like I said, I only wish to help my dad recoup his losses - not even to make a profit - so hopefully I'll be able to garner some support from you guys who are reading this & wish to support okay! Pictures will either be up on my personal Facebook page or my selling Facebook page (hahahaha, yes I do have one to sell my personal items), but this is to be confirmed! Photos will certainly be up by this week. :)

Shall continue with my nails now at such an unearthly hour! I'm actually already done with my nails, but I'm trying so hard to make them look neater 'cause... seriously, geometric nails are not easyyyyyyy haha, at least to me it's not! My left hand (picture at the end of this post) is already quite messy to me - I just KEEP looking at all the imperfections that could have been perfected; perfectionist at its maximum omg - and my right hand just simply looks like I just dipped my nails in a vomit of colours hahahaha. Off to tidy 'em now!

OH BTW, one of the apparel you see above is also selling in another blogshop, and they sent Silver Ang the exact same top!

Both pictures of Silver Ang are found in THIS blog post of her blog.
(She was doing an advertorial for a particular blogshop, and I went to see how much they're selling this piece; the only thing I can say is that I'll be selling it at a cheaper price!)

Pretty excited for tomorrow; hope it'll be an awesome night!!

Sleep well, everybody xx

Pre-exams insomnia

It's 8.05am now and I have yet to sleep. Bestie's over at my place right now and we have been studying all night. This midnight studying habit that I have adopted for the past few days isn't doing me good, and it has taken its toll on my skin - I am extremely prone to pimples and dryness on my chin and around my nose now. 

I honestly cannot wait for exams to end. I'm never the kind of girl who finds comfort in studying; how do people even find comfort in something so mundane and draining? But at the same time, I cannot afford to not study 'cause grades do matter at the end of the day. Tsk, one sleepless night and here I am talking nonsense.


Friday, please arrive as soon as possible! It'll be my final Diploma exam (finally, after 3 whole years...) and at least for now, I really cannot wait to get it over and done with. 


Hi Internship, I cannot wait to welcome you into my life.

Happy birthday to you.

You will always own a place in my heart.

Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's fallen behind
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's fallen from grace
She's all over the place 

The old you, please come back.
Don't make me feel this way. All.over.again.
My heart can't take it.
