Zalora





Attended a Zalora event last weekend!






The fashion buyers of Zalora - Lauren Fristcher and Roslyn Johnson, shared some stuffs in relation to Zalora and their work. They looked like they have awesome cool jobs!


After the sharing session, we had a little fashion show with models strutting Zalora items. Love this outfit below!





This was my favorite outfit of the models. Love the tiered bottom. It's so sweet and girly!


After that we had time to mingle and do nails. Fidelis learnt how to make a cocktail!


Photos with Fidelis and Jayne. Love their outfits that day!

Best Individual Blog - Finalists



Hi Everyone~ I'm here to announce something happy! :)

I'm one of the finalists for Singapore Blog Awards 2012, under the category Best Individual Blog! I started blogging since 2006 and it has been 6 years already. From a teenager to a young adult, a bunch of readers have watched me slowly grow up. I feel very lucky and thankful to have this platform to share all my ups and downs with you readers.

If you do not already know, I blog mainly about myself, my life, my feelings and my experiences. I do not have any niche or especially interesting content but I'm happy that this blog is raw and true, like a personal diary. Can this be counted as my individual style?

The other finalists in the same category are strong competitors with their own individual unique points, so I really need your support! If you like reading my blog, kindly vote for me - http://sgblogawards.omy.sg/2012/category/?cat=individual

Thank you! I hope you win the "voters" prize!!!

Random word update

Hey people!

Just a random update because I felt like typing haha.

It's such a wonder that I wrote the blog entry yesterday with a terrible headache yet less than 24 hours later I'm now here happily typing away again.

I'm so happy because last night my photographer sent me the photos taken for my new blogskin! I'm so excited to start working on it! Now, all I need is time. Aaah, free time is so rare nowadays. Sadly, my rare free time are mostly dominated by headaches and the strong need to rest from fatigue. But, I'm still working hard to continue updating my blog! I don't know why I just can't leave it stagnant for 3-4 days. I'd feel the itch to at least post something up!

So anyway, my boss just replaced the slow laggy computers in the office so now I'm using a new laptop! Very happy to be working on a faster machine. Now, just waiting for dad to upgrade the ram for my home computer. It's also functioning way too slow. Can you imagine, for the past few months or so, everyday I go to to work facing a slow laggy computer, and then go home to face a slow laggy computer again. Lots of angst everyday just because of the computer.

Back to the new blogskin, it will have a cleaner and neater look. I think I'd still stick to having a girly pink theme though. Except that maybe this time it will be more white and less pink. I'd also be compiling my favorite entries into a page so that you readers can easily access them!

Now I'm just thinking about how I should write the About Me page! I hate writing such descriptions because I just cannot find defining words to describe myself!

I'd also be clearing away the old advertisement banners on my current blog to declutter the space. To celebrate my new blogskin, I'm now offering promotional rates (Up to 50% off usual price!) for blogshop advertorials and banners! (OFFER IS FOR LIMITED PERIOD ONLY AND THERE WILL BE LIMITED AD SPACE) 

If you are blogshop owner interested in placing your banners on my new blogskin or having an advertorial on my blog, kindly email me at the-ice-angel@hotmail.com for the rates and more information! :)

Thank you!

Old School Delights



It's mystery makan once again! It was Nadia's turn to organize and she implemented the theme "Retro". First, a photo of my shoe that day.





Don't the shoes look a little like school girl shoes? So apt for Old School Delights!





So anyway, the lighting in the cafe was really yellowish and most of my photos were dark and yellow. Had a hard time editing! Halfway through I found the "auto color-correction" function and that made adjusting so much easier! This is the reason why the photos in this entry are all inconsistent in color.


The place was crowded, especially young people, many of whom were probably students!






We were given whiteboard and marker to write down our orders! Fun!


Lots of old toys like the sticky bubbles (what's the real name for that?) and marbles!


Are these from your generation? I briefly played some of the stuff before during childhood but they weren't really as prominent as Barbie, plastic toys or Playdoh, etc. I guess I was born during a time when it was already half-modern yet still not fully modern.

But! Fidelis is the same age as me and she has no idea what is the "flag eraser" game!!! We were all so shocked!



Some toys were available in an old toy box on each table. We tried the Five Stones while waiting for our food to arrive. The guys knew more about the rules of Five Stones than us girls!!

Old drink bottles.



Enid Blyton!!!! Books I read during my primary and secondary school days. Haha.


The tins at the bottom of this shelf has snacks that I slightly remember from my primary school days!

















The food offered at Old School Delights were indeed old school style indeed!








This Leon went to draw the cake on the order board instead of writing the name. Who knows what cake he drawing!!! Lol.


The waitress finally deciphered his cake drawing. Lol.


Me and my nasi lemak :D


I don't know about the others, but I was very surprised at the taste of my food. I usually have low expectations for such cafes that emphasize a lot on image, but my nasi lemak was sedap! I tried the laksa too and it's yummy!! ^_^



The guys immersed in eating their laksa~







I wore this earring to match my retro outfit.


I got myself a polkadot mint green blouse specially for this dinner. Went to Millys to do mint green nails to match!


With Jacelyn.


The boys! For guys it is more difficult to adhere to the retro theme. so they all wore Checkered/Stripes to 意思意思一下。


The girls! I think that me and Jacelyn belong to one type of retro while Nadia and Fidelis belong to another era of retroness. What do you all think?


Then Nadia started playing the old-school chopstick hand game with David and Fidelis started playing this "breaking" hand game with Leon! Do you know these games?









Had fun chatting! Good times had to end, so we went off to have after-dinner drinks elsewhere. Before that, we took photos before leaving.

Check out the old school phone!! Haha.



Full photo of my outfit here!


With Fidelis.



The girls! ^_^ I look forward to the next mystery makan!





Ending this entry with another photo of my outfit! :)



Wrote this entry with an annoying headache. Sorry if I sound incoherent :x Okay finally can go to sleep now. Good night.
