Well, It's time to plan the next chapter in my life...

This year would mark the end of my Polytechnic school life.
Throw aside all lecture notes, tutorial papers and self-written notes.
Really happy to be saying that but here comes the tough part,
deciding your path for another 5 years down the road.
Continue to further your studies or to work first?

I choose the latter. :)

At this age, I'm a little too 'short-of-money'.
Furthering studies require a huge sum of money and patience to absorb in knowledge.
As far as I'm concerned, my brain capacity has been totally used up, and I gotta empty all out soon.
I'm not a person who can really crack my brains to solve a question nor sit at the study table for a few hours. the maximum I'll sit still and study(or maybe scan through) would be 2 hours? :)

How about you guys?


Let me share with you my current plan for the next 5 years(there might be changes along the way...).

- After finishing Poly on the 17th of Feb 2012, I'll rest until March comes.
- March I'll start working full-time in either Kiehls or continue with Rosebullet.
- I'm actually considering interviewing to work  in Nylon Mag SG :) I guess it'll be a good experience.
- At the mean time, I have to work full-time and spend less all the way till August, my 21st birthday!
- Save at least $2500 to spend, just in the month of August. This I got no confidence, seriously.
- After August passes by and September comes, I'll continue working and working.
- I'll then work all the way until I finally decide to study again. haha!
- If I decide to further my studies, it'll be in fashion design or hotel administration..


I really hope now that I can interview successfully for Nylon Mag SG.

Lastly, an inspiring video for all of you out there!
Remember! Never judge a book by it's cover & don't give up trying...
Even if you fail to pass, at least you can proudly say that you've tried your best. :)

- Love, D.

Number that speaks you.

Was reading KayKay's blog and saw this post.. seems quite interesting and somewhat true. :)
I'm born on the 6th :) and my bf is born on the 7th.. and my best match is coincidentally 7! :D



If you were born on the:

1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month you are number 1.
2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th of any month then you are number 2.
3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month then you are number 3.
4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st of any month then you are Number 4.
5th, 14th, 23rd of any month then you are number 5.
6th, 15th, 24th of any month then you are number 6.
7th, 16th, 25th of any month then you are number 7.
8th, 17th, 26th of any month then you are number 8.
9th, 18th, 27th of any month then you are number 9.



Number 1
You are smart, a straight talker, funny, stubborn, hardworking, honest, jealous
on a competitive basis, kind hearted, temperamental, friendly, and popular. You
always want to be on the top and most likely to be independent. You are most
likely to fall in love at a young age, but will marry once you mature! You are
likely to have problems with people who have opposite views and you are most
likely to take revenge over your enemies in a long time basis. You are a
spender, but you will have a good profession in the future. If you are guy you
will be very popular. You can go anywhere from the local shop to the heart of
the parliament because you are positive and talented in numerous areas. But in
your life you will always have some people who will work hard to bring you &
your name down. Because of your intelligence, some might hate you. You are a
pioneer, independent & original your best match is 4, 6, 8 while a good match
would be with 3, 5 and 7.

Number 2
No matter what, every one will love you because you are ruled by the Moon. You
day dream a lot, you have a very low-self esteem, you need to have a back up for
every move in your life, you are very unpredictable. You tend to change
according to time and circumstances, selfish, have a very strong sense of
musical and artistic talent and powerful verbal communication. You can be sweet
as an angel and can be ruthless when double-crossed. Some might say you have a
sixth sense. You will become a poet, writer, an artist or a businessperson. You
are not strong in love, so your relationship will be in disarray until you
settle down. If you are a girl, you will be responsible for your family. If you
are a man, you tend to get involve in fights & arguments in the family. You will
sacrifice your life for your family. You are gentle, intuitive with a broad
vision. You make a well-balanced person. Your best match is 2, 7,5, and 9 no
other people can put up with you!

Number 3
You are hardhearted and selfish most of the time. You always tend to have lots
of problems within your family in the early stages but you will be able to cope
with everything. You seem to have your way in everything. And from birth you
would always have to work hard to achieve anything you want. You always make a
point to set examples on others, especially the younger ones. Generally you are
not a cool person. It’s not easy dealing with you. A tough player you are! But
once you are comfortable with someone, it will be a lasting friendship. You
always earn respect from others. Your Ilk seems to have lots of worries and
problems but they won’t be for long. You will have brilliant kids! You love
money a bit too much so temptation will push you to try endlessly. You will look
after your family and help friends, so you will spend a life time just being
generous and kind (except for men born on the 21st). You love your freedom,
creative and ambitious, a person who brings beauty, hope & joy to this world!!!
Your best match 6 and 9. Good match 1, 3, and 5.

Number 4
You are very stubborn, very hard working but unlucky in important matters in
life, very cool and helpful. You might repel people away from you, you may cause
nuisance to others if you area man, as you gifted are with understanding other
people’s problems. If you are a girl, you excel in your studies and arts. If you
are a guy you spend most of your time with girl friends and you tend to have too
much fun with your mates & girls. Your friends will spend your time & money and
get on with their life and you will be left empty handed. So be careful! You
love to spend. Your positive side is that you are always around to help family
and friends. You always fall in love with those younger than you. You often live
with disappointments but you will take good care of your family. You need to be
careful of people who will take advantage of your kind heart (ahaks!). And
beware of your relationships too. You are radical, patient, persistent, and a
hit old-fashioned; you live with foundation & order. Your best match 1, 8. Good
match 5, 6, and 7.

Number 5
You are very popular and you can get things done only by talking. Even to your
enemies! You are business-minded and like to do things spontaneously. You will
be famous if you get involved in any business. Your friends and families will
always ask for your help, and you are the one actually with the money to help
your friends. You will have more than one relationship, but when you settle down
you tend to be selfish. You tend to go for other relationships – even if you are
married at times because of your popularity. You tend to get along easily with
anyone because the numbers is a middle number. You love freedom and changes. You
learn your life through your personal experiences. Your best match 1, 2, Good
match 6, 8.

Number 6
Ooopppss… You were born to enjoy! You don’t care about others. I mean you
always wanted to have a lifetime of enjoyment. You will excel in either
education or business management! You are talented, kind (but with only people
who you think are nice), and popular. All good things come easily to you. Your
mind and body is just made perfect for love. You are loveable by any number. But
if you are a number 6 men, you will be involved in more than a few relationships
until you get married. If you are a girl, most of you will get married/engaged
early. You are a caring person towards your family and friends. You are a person
of compassion, comfort & fairness, domestic responsibility, good judgment, and
after all you can heal this world’s wounds to make peace for everyone because
you have the great power and caring talent to take the world of love one step
further.. Your best match 7, 6, and 9. Good match 4, 5.

Number 7
You are realistic, confident, happy, and talented in education, music, art,
singing, and most importantly in acting. You also have a bad temper! You value
your family status a lot; you will be in the top rank when you reach a certain
age. If you are a guy you are popular with girls. Most of the number 7s faces
lots of problems with their married life. Only a few are happy. You have
everything in your life but with worries throughout your lifetime. You need to
get ready looking for a partner rather than waiting. If you don’t, then you
might end-up being single. You are born to contribute to everyone’s joy. Your
best match is 2. Good matches are 1, 4.

Number 8
You have a very strong personality and people will find it hard to understand
you. You are more likely to suffer in your younger years. You might be also the
one responsible to look out for your family. You often suffer all the way
through life. You will learn life in a very practical way. You are the one who
will fight for justice and may even die in the war too. You are normally very
reserved with a handful of friends and most of the time, live life alone and
always prepared to help others. However, once you settle down, (which is often
late), then your had lucks will disappear. You will face unexpected problems
such as encountering poisonous animals, and accidents. You are highly-
disciplined, persistence, and courageous, and it is your strength that will take
you to success. You are a great part of a family team. You are a fighter! Your
Best match 1, 4 and 8. Good match 5.

Number 9
You guys are the most incompatible people in the world. You are so strong,
physically and mentally. You often have big-aims. You will work hard and will
think it’s still hard to get there, even if you already have gotten there!
Normally you suffer in the early age from family problems and generally you will
have to fight in life. You are respected by others. You were however very
naughty in your childhood, and often got beaten up by your parents and had been
involved in fights and you seemed to have suffered lots of injuries. But when
you grow older you become calm and will fall into the quiet and dignified macho
type. Love is not an easy matter for you. You are however good in engineering or
banking jobs because people always trust you. Your family life is very good, but
you will always worry over your children. Your finer qualities are that you are
humanitarian, patient, very wise & compassionate. You are born to achieve
targets and serve every one equally without any prejudice. You are a role model
for everyone. Your best match 3, 5, 6, and 9. Good match 2.

Something random to past my day...

I chanced upon this little paper questionnaire on Free People's blog & thought
of giving it a try. :)

So, here it goes.

I am a Student at Nanyang Polytechnic, and I'm currently in my Third & Final Year!!!

Before I sat down to do this questionnaire, I was browsing through blogs/facebook-ing/
listening to the radio/ransacking the web for DIY ideas. :)

The next concert I want to go to is Foster the People, but all tickets are sold out :(

I wish that I could go to New York City, baby!!!!!!! And never come back. ;)

I'm inspired by almost anything, but not everything, that I see with my naked eyes.

My favorite food combination is Pasta + cream sauce + lots of cheese + ham + sausages!!!

In my next life I want to come back as a Eurasian, maybe Asian Eurasian, or Caucasian Eurasian.

My Favorite color is PINK!

My best friend(s) is/are Clara Puar & Kassy Ong, and that will never change. :) ♥

My hands are too crumpled and rough :( haha!

Winter or Summer? Somewhere in between please! haha!

The best place to read a book is on a daybed with soothing music in the background
and sipping on a cup of Earl Grey hot tea.

My favorite indulgence is Ben & Jerry's!!!

As a kid I was really really chubby, like a ball. :)

My style icon is The Olsen twins. They have awesome style!!!

My friends would describe me as er.. moderately-crazy? LOL!

One thing I want to do in 2012 is to earn lots of money to call myself financially-independent.

To follow your heart is what free means to me :)

What is a New Year without a new wishlist? :)

DIY #2

Michael Kors inspired cut-out dress

Time taken: Approximately 1 hour
Tools/stuff needed:
- Your own dress, be it maxi, mid-length or mini! :)
- Scissors, sharp enough to cut through fabrics.
- Threads & needles, preferred color would be the one closest to the color of your dress.
- Pencil to draw out the shape
- Ruler to measure the diameter and stuffs to make sure it is not uneven when cut.

Now, you're ready to do your own DIY dress! :)

Step 1: Lay out your dress on a even surface.

Step 2: Measure and cut the holes on the side of the dress.
As quoted from A Pair & A Spare: " A circle about the size of a saucer sitting centered on each of the side seams at the height of your ribs is best."

Step 3: Cut out the circles, and hem the sides in using small stitches.

Step 4: After that, pleat the middle parts and sew it so it stays together.

Step 5: This is optional.
Cut out a strip of cloth from the circle part you cut out & roll it across the pleats to cover up
the stitches. Mine was rather ugly so I had to do this step. :)

Step 6: Put your 'new' dress on and unleash it's full glory to the people! :)

8 months to becoming TWENTY-ONE!

21, 21, 21....
Geez... just 8 months more! How fast does time past!

In 8 months time, I'll be 21 years old.
And when you're nearing 21, the most exciting part would be to
plan your birthday party(it gotta be the best one in your whole life!).

Thinking of the theme, to thinking of the budget & then the guest list,
it's all so stressful but yet an awesome time. :)
My budget would be about <$400.

So, for my upcoming 8-months-more-to-my-21st-birthday,
the theme I had in mind is:
1) Breakfast at Tiffany's

2) Tiffany & Co.


Both themes are somewhat alike, having the Tiffany & Co as the highlight of the night!

Simply Classic, ain't it?

For the 1st theme, Breakfast at Tiffany's, I've did some research.
- Since that show, Breakfast at Tiffany's, is a old show, maybe all props and outfits could be
black & white only.
- And since it focuses on Tiffany & Co too, there could be some Tiffany blue here & there!
- Music: Moon River, as played in the show.
- Pictures: I've got a big-ass picture of Audrey Hepburn in my living room now :) Awesome!
- Oh! most importantly, Diamonds scattered on tables!(fake one definitely!) haha!








For the 2nd theme, Tiffany & Co., these is my research:
- First thing which comes into people's minds when they think Tiffany & Co is
Blue+White.
- Color theme: White and/or Tiffany blue. :)
- Props: White ribbons, Blue tablecloths, Blue gift bags etc.
- Cake!!!: Tiffany blue box cake. (I wouldn't bear to cut it up!) haha :)
- And maybe cupcakes too!

This cake is AWESOME! :) ^^



Hmm... which would be better & not so costly?
