Kitty-kat.

Digital printed cat socks - Topshop

Was doing some retail therapy after my job interview this afternoon & I chanced upon this super adorable digital printed cat socks @ Topshop & I KNEW I HAD TO GET IT. How could I resist this right??? I seriously can't wait to style this in one of my outfits. ^.^ 

While I was raving over this pair of cute felines, my sister & BF begged to differ, saying the eyes looked scary, weird to have a "photo" printed onto socks, etc etc... But I refuse to agree with them. This. Pair. Of. Socks. Is. The. Cutest. I've. EVER. Owned. Period. 

So what do you think of this pair of socks? Do you think that it's cute like what I feel, or weird like what my sis & BF feels? And what's your current favourite buys? Lemme know! (; 

My first tattoo.

Hi, I'm back with a post after the promise I made & yes, as the title suggests... I GOT A TATTOO! My very first one actually. I kinda made the decision to do it on a spur of moment the night before. I mean, I've been wanting to get one for a very long time & I knew what I wanna get but I just sat on it & haven't been thinking about putting it into action. So, the night before, I told Bernard (my BF) my decision, & so he brought me over to Far East the next day & I did it! 

This was what I wanted to get -

I didn't do any research prior to it because like I said I made the decision really quickly. We walked around Far East a bit, heard that Primitive Tattoo was one of the popular choices so I headed there first. However, the price that they quoted me was too steep ($250). I wanted to get a really small one on my wrist & I didn't think that price was reasonable so I went to other shops. Another problem was they said they were not able to do it for me because my wrist's too small & if I were to force it upon myself, the words are most likely to smudge over a few years & it'll look really ugly. Feeling slightly disheartened, I hopped around a few more shops to find them saying the same thing. ): 

After discussing with the BF a bit, I decided to settle for my second choice of tattoo (which was what I got in the end). So we chose Johnny Two Thumb Tattoo Studio - decided on that shop because they quoted the cheapest price + the tattoo artist there looked more reliable (appearance matters a lot okay). 

A display of caps belonging to all the navy men who have patronised their shop. Quite cool huh! I did a quick count & there were like more than 100 caps. 

Nervous me just a few minutes before the ink job! Actually, the tattoo artist & the BF suggested for me to do the original tattoo I wanted on the neck but I didn't really like the idea of it. I find it damn pointless to tattoo at the neck because how the hell am I suppose to see it?! Plus, I really wanted a small one on my wrist so... It's a pity I can't get the original one because I really like the design + the quote is so so so meaningful to me. ):

Was really nervous I kept pinching myself... Initially, I wanted to pose for a photo while doing the tattoo but I couldn't even keep a straight face throughout. The pain was bearable but it hurt a lil more when he shaded the line & when he tattoo-ed the middle part of my wrist. It almost felt like it was burning.

The BF took this photo & I think it deserves a zoom up. This is exactly how the process looks like! Within like 8 minutes, the job was done! 

End product -

Photos taken on Day 2 after the ink job! Less swollen compared to day 1... The redness is now replaced with small scabs. It's like popped up on my skin now & it hurts much lesser. 

If you're interested in getting a tattoo, here are all the information - 

Johnny Two Thumb Tattoo Studio 

Tattoo artist - Yen

Price - $100 (he gave me a discount!) 

My tattoo artist was very nice & he tolerated all my whines (I wouldn't say I was whining but let's just put it that way, lol) for a full half an hour before deciding to finally do it. 

I am really glad I didn't chicken out & right now, I'm just gonna mentally prepare myself for my parent's reaction. Sigh~ 

Will I get a second one? Well, yes, haha. But that'll be in another post! Check back if you wanna find out. Meanwhile, feel free to ask me anything about the tattoo process/shop if you wanna @ my ask.fm account! 

See you at the other side!

Floppy hat - H & M, Sunnies - Bugis street, Bejewelled Necklace - Bangkok @ Morning Pratunam Market, One-piece checkered peplum jumpsuit - Modparade, Boots - H & M  

Was at Gardens by the Bay to complete a portfolio for my Lasalle application recently & I thought I'll just share the photos here. Am really loving this checkered one-piece peplum jumpsuit I bought from Modparade so much! It's not the usual peplums you see around like the tops, skirts & dress kind you see OLs (office ladies) wearing which are more to the girly, feminine & demure side. What's unique is its checkered print & its pair up of the peplum with long pants!

The only downside is that its material isn't stretchy enough. I had difficulty bending over, squatting or sitting down because the bottom keeps tugging & pulling at its top, making me feel really uncomfortable throughout the day I even had to change out at night before I head off for my driving lesson. I really love love love this jumpsuit so much but I doubt I'll be wearing it again. ):

In love with circular sunnies recently I bought so many of them in different colours from Bangkok. I recently bought 2 more from an online store. I am obsessed literally.

I also recently acquired the black floppy hat that I've been wanting since ages ago. Found 1 in Phuket but I didn't get it on the spot & was regretting the whole trip. Couldn't find a similar one in Bangkok either & I was pretty damn sad about it until my friend tipped me off that H & M was selling a similar one. I knew I had to get it, and I did, lol. They're only selling for $17.90, so go get it if you wanna. (:

They're not only pretty but they're also a great way to fend off those sun rays we get in Singapore! The weather is so ridiculously hot nowadays I can't even let down my hair anymore, geez.

Boots from H & M that was on sale when I got it. Only $30, pretty cheap for its quality I must say. I've been abusing them so often by forcing my feet in when I'm rushing out of the house & they've still stayed pretty much in shape! Super duper comfortable in terms of height & insoles as well. I can walk in them forever without feeling the ache & apart from the first 2 times I've worn them, I don't think I've gotten anymore blisters.
