Psst… Chanel increases price again!

Yeap, you read it right. In less than a year, they are increasing price again!

I hear my 2.55 - which is snoozing comfortably in my cupboard - laughing at me.

As of 1st August the prices of all the classics - minus the classic clutch - increases!

If you have been hesitant to purchase one, now is the time. RUN!!!!

You’ve been warned.

Day 3 in Las Vegas: NY NY and M&M’s

Las Vegas is famed for its dazzling casinos. And each casino has its own attraction.

At New York New York… It’s a roller coaster.

Looks easy?

You bet… I just love the loop don’t you? It’s like taking a regular dive in a jet plane. Except… I don’t have a pilot license and I hate the feeling of dropping out of my seat!

Check our how cool and comfy I was before I sat the roller coaster ride.

But my mind was racing… negative g force. negative g force…

The moment I sat on the roller coaster, I told my friend: “why did I even agree on taking this……… ahhhhhhhhhhhhh” and off we went.

After thoughts? I shudder at the thought of sitting roller coasters. And I’m one of those people who dread the re-opening of the dueling roller coasters in Singapore. *Glup*

Onto happier thoughts. I pop by M&M’s stall in Las Vegas!

It’s all about the chocolate, baby…

I purchased an M&M’s cup and I’ve been using it as my milo & hot-choc mug. It makes me happy.

It is a fun place to be in. I heart the life-size M&M’s!

Oh the care-free student life where all that matters was comfort… You can get away with super casual wear and clashing colours… Yet… now, I will think twice about wearing a pair of shorts out of the house. If only I was half as cool as this guy…

Or maybe I should pick out a pointer or two from Mr. Coca-Cola.

I just love Polar Bears. Don’t you?

=) Happy weekend!

Graduation Part 2

Now as promised… Or… Would I say… I managed to find my camera in my messy room…

My fellow colleague, Hannah, or whom I affectionately call neighbour as we will be desk-mates for the next three years.

My parents took the time off to celebrate the day with me. Coincidentally, it is my mummy’s birthday today. So… happy birthday Mummy!

Check out Gwyneth’s cool pair of pink converse.

My sister and my two nieces supported me as well…

Thereafter, we headed to Melben for a celebratory dinner. I love their prawn balls! It was a happy day, but definitely a very long one… For…

Gwyneth fell asleep whilst taking dinner!

Happy weekend. =)

Graduated Again!

In between my posts of travelling Las Vegas…

Wearing: My favourite Chanel ring, pink Ferragamo heels which I purchased at 50% off!

I’ve graduated… Again! No prizes for guessing what I graduated in.

My family came down to support me. =)

Sure makes my day!

All three pictures were taken using my sister’s Iphone. I think my sister’s photo-taking skills has DRASTICALLY improved. Maybe it’s the miraculous Iphone. =P

More pictures on my personal camera - which I need to locate in my eternally messy room.

Day 2 in Las Vegas. Magaritaville, Caeser Palace & TI

It sure takes much commitment to blog regularly, especially when I have to balance a 9-to-5 job and I am not paid to blog full time… Anyway, I took some time to have more hair snipped off. Am I’m lovin’ it!!!!

Now onto day two of Las Vegas.

At our first stop, Kunali and I checked out Magaritaville - famed for their gigantic glass of magarita.

The waiting area is so cosy…

Now when you are at Magaritaville, a must-have is their 20 oz. pilsner glass worth of margarita. You can also try the super-duper tall Magarita-to-go at stand-up shops along the Strip.

I like!

Thereafter, Kunali and I went on a bird hunt at The Flamingo…

Spotted!

En route to Caeser Palace, we spent sometime at the fountain outside the grand hotel.

I presume this is Zeus… The greatest God in Greek mythology. By this time of the day, I’ve already purchased some goods - do you spy the paper bag? Shoppaholics!

I tried my luck at the penny machine in Caeser palace. After all, this is Las Vegas… The home of Casinos. I won 11 cents on the penny machine! Well, it is not about gambling or winning money… But gaining the luck according to Chinese tradition.

Now this is one of my favourite shots inside the Casino.

It spells ‘Revolution’.

The last stop for the day was at Treasure Island or TI.

There is this gigantic pirate ship outside TI. Do catch the evening show, where the performers take on pirate roles and thrill you with their mini musical. A pity all the photos were blur, so I deleted them already. =(

Lastly, inside the TI… I fell in love with this stunning bike. I love the haunting eyes.

Happy weekend!

My neice - the adorable.

What a difference 5 days make. One day Gwyneth was sick and upset - she slaps everyone in her way!!! And the next…

She decides she has enough energy to put make-up!

Kids…

They make your day no matter what.

Don’t disturb me.

My poor niece placed on the drip and feeling extremely sickly.

But what do I spy? I spy Cheekes… Shhh don’t tell the nurse.

Everyone has their highs-and-lows.

Hello everyone… It has been an eventful or I would rather say an uneventful week.

My two nieces have been ill and one has been warded.

It has been a chaotic weekend.

Thank God for an extra off day on Monday.

Will post soon.

Day 1 in Las Vegas. The Venetian & Stratosphere.

Liberation!

If you are wondering why I have been so awfully quiet over the past few weeks, that’s because I’ve been so exhausted going for courses after courses and needed some time off to rest my body.

Took the time to sort out 2 of my external hard disks - after hard disk #1 crashed on me leaving me in pieces for a good two months. Fast forward… and I’m now a proud owner of three hard disk, and have sorted out every single folder and its content.

Hooray!

I’m overjoyed beyond description. And as promised… here are my pictures from my exchange trip to North America.

First up, let’s pull in at the glitzy city of LAS VEGAS! Show me the money… baby!

Now, I was pretty tired after having travelled 8 hours via GreyHound down from Los Angeles (I’ll blog about this another time) and definitely grumpy having left my beloved handphone in LA. But, the thought of stepping into this miraculous city in the middle of the desert perked me up.

The first stop I made was at the Venetian where I booked a ticket to watch Phantom of the Opera. I’m a broadway lover, so I just had to watch this no matter how much it costs. I think we watched an afternoon session as it was cheaper and it was the best fit into our schedule.

Here’s Kunali and I outside the Venetian. Kunali was my house mate for 4 months. She’s a party girl and I’m a homey.

Here’s the stage in the theatre. The chandelier that hangs in the middle actually moves!

At the Venetian I ate a bowl of delicious noodle soup. It cost me US$9! But totally worth it for I had not had a proper Chinese meal in one month. I was sick and tired of the roasted potatoes, pizza and cornflakes combo. No… Basmati rice does not cut it, no matter how much it cost. I want CHINESE FOOD!!!

Here I am with zero make-up, one strand of braided hair (I miss that so much!) and one big bowl of noodles. YUM!

This was how much I love the noodles. Close friends of mine know that I never finish my carbs, not so much because I’m on a supposedly-permanent diet, but because my stomach is really small.

I can even remember how the noodles tasted. Mmmm….

More photos of the Venetian…

Walkways with huge archs.

And really happy people.

Typical tourist shot. Lol!

More photos of Las Vegas…

Such a magical city… really…

There are free shows in most of the Casinos, and for Circus Circus, it was all about acrobats.

Night was a crazy affair.

Say hello to Stratosphere!

This place has the most amazing view of the strip at night. Check this blurry photo of mine. Pardon me… but, this is the best that you can get with trembling fingers. It was freezing at the top! We are in a desert after all… remember?

Steady… steady…

There! To Las Vegas and beyond!

Some days…

Some days I wake up and I feel superb, I feel like I can conquer the whole world. I feel like I can see the world in one huge stride.

Some days I wake up feeling lazy and rebellious. Like I want to do something crazy, something that I won’t do normally. Something loud perhaps.

I miss my blue nails and semi-dirty dark blond hair.

I’m determined to go to the hairdresser and sit down for another 4 hours to get my dark brown hair re-done. Or perhaps get a cut shorter than I normally would… Or whatever. I also need to remind myself to get a tube of Mac eyeliner.

Let’s party with whatever that’s left of this holiday.

Wearing: Topshop tank top with satin skirt (I love…) from Lemon Chiffon and rhinestone bracelet by Antoinette.

PS: I’m awfully impressed with my friend’s photo-taking skills. Zero touch-up whatsoever! Thanks Jie Min.
