WHAT GOES ON BEHIND MY OOTD SHOTS? // UPDATES!

Most bloggers/celebrities' blog and instagram are always filled with pretty pictures, glamourous face, gorgeous scenery, delish-looking food etc like as if our lives are just a big pretty picture. Aren't you sick of all that perfection?? Gonna let you girls into my instagram ootd BTS pictures and let you see how "unglam" and retarded I can be with Daniel.

Donna and Daniel kept calling me "Jasmine" from Aladdin or like Bollywood dancer cos I love wearing those long maxi pants/skirts so I went into a Bollywood pose while walking back to Daniel's house. He keeps taking all the unglam pictures of me HENCE THIS POST HAHAHA

*Snap snap snap

"OI DANIEL STOP TAKING!!!!! YOU DONE TAKING PICTURES ALREADY??!!! I'VE GOT MY OOTD SHOT ALREADY STOP SNAPPING!!!!!!!"

*Continues snapping

"People flaunt their JC heels I flaunt my cotton on slippers" HAHAHA

Was wearing slippers cos we were taking the shot at Daniel's estate!

I think I'll semi regret posting all these pictures up cos I look so chui and "anyhow" but oh wells....COURAGE hahaha! I know people's first impression of me is always unapproachable, stuck up, arrogant, fierce etc which I understand why! I'm very reserved with new people unless somehow they have the magic to make me open up. And because I'm shy/reserved/quiet, people think I'm arrogant. I can only fully be myself(like how I am in the above pics) with Daniel and my super close friends. Daniel ALWAYS calls me crazy cos that's really how I am when I'm with him, like a siao-char-bo or a little girl.

So anyhows, I spent the past 2 days with him! We went to Tangs to buy his shoes after taking my OOTD shots!

I went through a lot of trouble to break off from Daniel so I could get him the gift card so he can buy his superga sneakers! It's such a blessing to bless people you love, isn't it? Heh I love the caption on the giftcard!

And then last night, he brought me to JEM's NTUC to buy groceries for me! Cos I perpetually have no food at home and I eat pretty little cos of that, so he said he feels damn heartpain that I'm eating so little and always hungry :') Yupppp so he brought me to NTUC and told me to pick whatever I want and he paid for it, just to make sure I have food to eat! Suuuuuper sweet :D Thank you susu! I rly appreciate it!!!

Hehe I feel so bad cos I bought A LOT of food. I'm gonna cook up a storm for him this Thursday, hopefully it will be nice (: we baked chocolate brownie too, and he brought home the WHOLE THING cos he likes it hahaha.

Hehe such a good start to August, I was rly happy for the past 2 days!

Will be back soon.

BRUNCH @ PARK!

CAB VS BUS/TRAINS

Before I start talking about my brunch on Saturday, let me just talk a little about cabbing and taking bus.

Daniel and my good friends around me know that I'm someone who's super reliant on cabs. I'm super lazy to wait for buses and go through that long journey unless it's an express bus so I always end up cabbing. What's worse is that I always call for cab which costs another $2.30-$3.30 which is SUPER unnecessary. There are so many other charges like peak hour charge, midnight charge, airport charge, and CBD charge! Recently, I've started writing down my expenses in my organizer and realised I spend a lot on cabs. It's like I just gotta top up a bit more and I can pay monthly instalment for a cheap car already.

I'm sure many of you out there face this same "problem" as me - cabbing unnecessarily.

One typical cab ride for me from Jurong to town would cost about $15, and to school would be around $9. If I take a bus to school it would be only $1.50? And to town $2. The difference is $8-$13 per ride. If I bus to town and bus back home, I can save $26 a day WHICH IS A LOT considering I cab almost every day. All this only hit me this month when I sat down to calculate all my expenses and money I can actually put into my savings or better use instead. Getting up earlier, leaving your house earlier to take a bus/train to your destination really can save you quite a lot of money which you can put to better use like a short getaway! So from now on, I'm gonna try my best to take bus/trains when there's no need to cab! And so, yesterday I took a bus to HV to meet Jiayi! #successful

Truffle fries!!!!

We had brunch at this new pop-up cafe in Holland Village called Park! The concept is pretty cool. Truffle fries were very cheap and pretty nice but the caramelized banana pancakes were a bit too sweet for my liking. Will definitely go there to try other dishes again!
