alice + olivia // starbucks cutie

Someone please tell me how cute this is?!?!?! I would totally love to have it on my work desk as it's uber chic but it's pretty exorbitant as this limited collection comes in a set complete with a Starbucks Card, tote bag and ceramic mug - all adorning the playful and iconic #staceface. The sets* (only 88 available if I'm not wrong!) are available only at Starbucks ION Orchard for $128. And I'm pretty excited to share a sneak peek with you guys on how my current desk looks soon as I've been trying to 1) Jazz it up and sticking to a "theme". 2) Get fuchsia peonies or white roses at the side table as well but I haven't got the chance to visit Far East Flora. :( 

Ps: Yeap crazy procrastination going on there. Hahahaha.

Valentine's 25th @ The Duxton Hotel.

 

My views on The Duxton Hotel is that it was too dim for a birthday party. It actually turns the atmosphere to be a little "gloomy" especially when coupled with frequent rain and lesser light that comes into the hotel. But of course, for a cosy staycation for two it might have been nice though I wouldn't recommend and would rather one head over to another boutique hotel. I do have to say that the lobby was nicely curated but aside from that, no biggies bout the place uh. The only thing I liked was prolly the bathroom because it was all in emerald green marble!!! 

 

May this #quarterlifecrisis be a wonderful turning point to begin something new and that all great things be sprinkled upon you darling.
 Have a blessed birthday kak yims hehehehe aka valentine!

My hair is my crowning glory.

A month ago, I changed my shampoo to Diane Moroccan Oil and damn that was an unfortunate bad bad decision. I don't know how few bloggers can say that their hair became softer and all that. Okay fine, maybe different hair textures reacts differently. But my hair and scalp have alhamdullilah been in good shape and therefore I barely had trouble with any shampoos out there. :(

Been trying to go all sulphate-free for the past 1 year and gonna continue doing so. I mean.. I'm trying and therefore it has always been either Organix or Avalon Organics. I alternate between those two brands and would faithfully put this Neem/Coconut/Olive oil on my hair twice a week. Gonna order Oh Hello Hair! pretty soon to simply stock up. Amazing stuff but I do think it's a little pricey for something where I can get from Mustafa? Different brand but it does serves its purpose and therefore it's totally up to you! Sure sometimes it doesn't smell that pleasant but hell, I'd rather have my hair soft, shiny and healthy with all naturale products.

Okay I don't know why I'm even ranting about all these when I've so much work to do but yeah. I cannot wait to do some kind of a treatment and perhaps snip my hair a little? It's getting so annoying, dry and long (though many tells me that my hair is fine already!) hahahaha. Till then, XOXO.

Get-up.

I see myself in these on Fridays and Saturdays. If only the weather shows some mercy...

Sleep.

I don't know how to explain the feeling I have right now. It's like too much to handle? The Bridges event is over yesterday and I have another 2 more pending in which it's quiteee a load on my already aching shoulders, literally. NUS 110 is on 1 Feb (i've over 800 rsvp to take care of!) and NUS Open Day (imagine the logistics and calling of secretaries for bla bla and etc) falls on the 14 March. Oh god, typing those two dates down already give me the chills because there really are a lot to be done!!! Ohhh since we are at these dates, I might as well say that my first Group Based Assignment falls on the 8th Feb and TMA01's deadline is on the 22nd Feb. KILL ME ALREADY PLEASE.

I do question myself if the additional commitment that I have now, pose a little obstacle in balancing my schedule.. I mean, I don't dread nor do I not like it. In fact, extra time spent daily is love and I appreciate being fetched and always always always be thankful for having such a kind hearted, loving other half. Ps: I'm madly in love with you, Muhammad Zaki.

Just so you know, the amount of coffee I take daily doesn't really help anymore. Sure, all you need is probably 6 hours of sleep each night but hell, for someone who sleeps regularly by 10pm.. Sleeping in after midnight is extremely draining. Some say that I should probably start "training" for the future but hell no? Sleep is precious. Fucking precious to me and I get easily moody if I don't have enough of it.

Number three.

I have 3 pending posts and I wished I had some time to publish them today but I'm so busy there it's yet to be "perfected". All three looked a little all over the place and thus.. It will only be out, I promise, by Friday late afternoon. 1) Zaimah's birthday 2) Renny's Wedding 3) My rants..

Ps: 3 events withing the next 3 months and not forgetting.. I've classes twice a week after work which is just gonna suck me dry. Bleah.
