I tried this quiz and the answer is, I’m a fashion slave! Oh no. Not sure if that is something I should be worried about or not! :)

Have a good week ahead!

I’ve got a new wardrobe from IKEA which I have already stuffed to the BRIM! :) Thank you BF! ♥ Its done my room a lot of good and taken the mess off the floor. Its also done our shoe rack some good, my fab heels are in the new wardrobe and so are my billion (I exaggerate) bags and clutches. Pictures up soon (can’t find the charger for my camera! Argh!) but here are some wardrobe (walk-in) pictures I wouldn’t mind having some time later in life…

Right now, I’m munching on slightly burnt toast and cheese and drinking Nescafe Gold Blend. Not looking forward to the 2 hr Mechanics lecture at 11. :(

Have a good Wednesday!

Note about my mentees: I love them! (I’m a mentor for about 15 freshers in Mechanical Engineering this year :)). Seriously love them, although I think I’m a lousy mentor! Need to work harder on making meetings more fun /enjoyable /engaging!

And on a completely off-topic note, I really wanted to be an air-stewardess - my dream ever since first year of university (although I might be a little short) or indulging in fashion-blogging or food-blogging. I’m stuck with getting my head around equations with funny symbols and lots and lots of numbers. Rawr. But really though I’m satisfied with life at the moment, I’ll take what life throws at me, it always turns out better than what I imagine anyway :).

So its Saturday tomorrow and Saturday means going out, but I’m staying home doing work and reading up on notes ahead of the lectures (yes! for the first time probably! :P) Need to head to the gym as well you know. Someone shout at me if I don’t.

[This is SUCH an incoherent post, I apologise. This is what you get when you don’t blog regularly and have a ton of things to update about/spew out.]

Watched Fame, got me into the dancing mood, tried out for dance society and realise I suck at dancing and have 2 left feet. Watched The Invention of Lying and loved the funny bits in it; don’t like the fact that a funny movie has to have sad bits in it though! Spoils the effect of humour. :( I want to watch a ton more movies but don’t have the money to.

Love UO’s dresses and shoes. Argh! Money! :(

Will will will start blogging regularly; probably on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the Weekends!

Okay guys, sorry for the absolutely insane rant/update. Have a very very good weekend! :)

Updated!

This is such a random (and back-dated post). I’m such a terrible blogger and I apologize for this my dear readers. I aim to be a better blogger this school year. (Lots of hope in those words there!)

So, some random pictures of what I usually wear to school. Trying to add more pops of colour (as you can see, its mostly white/denim/black/grey). Made it to the gym today so I’m happy and refreshed and came back to bake a chocolate fudge cake for the bf’s birthday tomorrow! :) Excited cos we’re going to TGIF’s and watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (don’t laugh! We’ve watched Kung Fu Panda so many times we’ve memorised the lines!)

Hopefully there’ll be more outfit posts soon! Also, since this blog IS named all things pretty, I might alter the direction of my blog to ANYTHING that is pretty or that catches my breath. :) I hope that I’ll be able to spend more time blogging this year! Take care lovelies. ♥

There’s this amazing noodle bar at Angel called Miso. The service was so-so but that could be because Nick and I ventured in 30 mins after they’d opened and they probably hadn’t started cooking/preparing stuff yet. But they sat us promptly near the front door and we ordered up; Wonton Noodles for me and Pad Thai for Nick.

The Wonton soup had plenty of vegetables to keep a fairly health-conscious person like me happy but there was too much noodles for me (Nick balked and said it was because it was called a Noodle bar). The wonton soup also had a generous amount of sesame oil which gave it plenty of flavour and the wontons were really original (thumbs up for that!). Nick’s Pad Thai was good although it was toned down a little; no spicy kick to it! While we were eating, I commented that the best food in the world is still in Thailand; the food tastes so good and there’s just the right amount of veg, noodles/rice and meat for me. In Singapore, there’s way too much noodles/rice and in England, there’s too much of everything! :P

I’m such a happy kid when I have steaming noodles.

It was good overall and the bill came up to 16 quid for the 2 of us. We had a nice time strolling around Angel before retiring to the car and driving back home. Probably gonna head back there whenever we’re around Angel! :)

Again, apologies for absence on this blog! Its been a trying month. But it’ll finally be over when I’m back in London! (crosses fingers) I’ve been stuck in a style rut and want to get out! And actually, I’m kinda paranoid now.. I used to be a jeans + shirt/t-shirt kinda girl. And then I broke out of that phase and moved on to finding new outfits, but now that I’ve found new outfits, I’ve realised that I only stick to a particular style - namely, girly/romantic and I can’t get out of it. I’d love to rock the sheer/one-shoulder/black lipstick look but don’t have the guts to do it! Woe. But this new school year brings hope (and promise?) and I want to try out new styles that I can slip into and all! Bring on the school year resolutions! (I’ve got a ton of them this year and I’d be happy to fufill at least 50% of them. :)) I’ll definitely try to blog more/post up more pictures in London!

Might be setting up an ebay account so I can sell my loved clothes/shoes/bags (that need new owners!). Watch this space! :)

Forever21 by shirinloh featuring Forever21

In celebration of my 21st this year (I’m old, so old.. ) I wanna spend some money at Forever 21. Anyone want to join me? :) And since there isn’t a F21 in the UK (why?!), I guess it would be an early birthday celebration! :D Heh. Sorry for the craziness, its been a crazy day so far. And I need to let it out somehow. What better way than to let it out thinking about shopping? :) Love you guys. Hope its been a better week for y’all. :)

New Love.
