Tea Party

I've always been a huge fan of high tea (think: scones, sandwiches, dainty desserts and yummilicious pastries) - it's no wonder why I'm always at TWG chilling with my friends. Heck, even my 21st birthday bash was held at the Rose Veranda (Shangri-la Singapore), with the theme 'Breakfast at Tiffany.' How apt.

In any case, today was just yet another lazy Sunday...save for the fact that my brother, cousin and I spent the bulk of our Sunday afternoon appreciating a high tea buffet at the Tea Lounge, Regent Singapore. It was my first time at the Tea Lounge (yes, I actually missed it the first time round when I was scouring for high tea venues to hold my birthday bash). According to my cousin, it's pretty common for people to be on the waiting list for months cos the food spread here is really good (caviar, salmon, two choice of unlimited tea and beverages, wagyu, foie gras pate and desserts/pastries for just $48++). But what really impressed me was the impeccable service. The moment we stepped into the tea lounge, the manager (he's French, by the way) warmly showed us to our seat and even took time off to explain the food spread to us. The servers too would also dropped by once in a while and made (some) small talk with us. Such wonderful service indeed.

Managed to snap this Hawaiian Floral Dress from an online local (Singaporean) blogshop by the name of Sandyjoy. This is my first purchase from a blogshop! I've never shop from local blogshops before so guess this is a first. Got it from the mortar store (apparently there was a Fashion Showcase at the Suntec Convention Hall over the weekends and there were more than thirty blogshops setting stall there). Oh and yes, my metallic pumps! I've been dying to wear them out for ages! :>

My week in pictures

I can't believe I spent the entire afternoon evening (after church and grocery shopping) on my ebay listings. Man, I was so engrossed with keeping track of my sales (hahahaha) and listing new products so much so I had a nasty shock when I realised it was way past 9pm and I've yet to prepare dinner. I guess it's probably back to ebay once again once I'm done with this post. Can't wait to clear my wardrobe and make space for my new purchases *winks, ok, SMIRKS

Me during lecture and chilling like a boss. Disclaimer: before you start thinking I'm some unrefined, uncivilized and uncultured Asian chick, this was taken during the lecture break. We had a movie screening (thats film studies Majors kids for ye) and I was in this posture half the time cos I needed to stretch my legs. And also 'cos there was no one seating in front of me. I ain't that rough, y'know. 

Brunch @ Twenty & Six Espresso (see previous post for more info). 

 I love people watching (old habits die hard)

 Model in a 1970s Brooks Brothers ad. He's hot and the New Yorker cousin would totally love this (uh, he ain't gay but he's a huge BB fan)

'The Hunter'

'Geisha'

Low ankle boots with satin ribbon bow that I'm gonna put up for sale on ebay. Selling it cos we're moving and frankly speaking, I might pull of this look when I'm 18...but not now...at the ripe old age of 22

The same pair of boots. Taken when I was 18. Get my drift (about being young and pulling off that girly look)?

Dinner on mon at Gami Chicken off Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Holy shit, that was one hell load truckload of fried chicken. 

OK, this pic of yours truly does not belong here (literally and figuratively speaking) cos it was taken in Spring 2010. Heh heh

The Big Issue

Uh, I've managed to convince my New Yorker cousin to help me with some purchases from American Apparel, since it's way cheaper in the States as compared to Aussie. Though I can't decide if I should get the Disco Pant or the Riding Pant. I love the Disco Pant (excusez-moi, it's basically lust at first sight) but alas, the thought of walking around in a sparkly jeggings-ish looking outfit doesn't seem to entirely goes well with me. And then i saw this picture of the Riding Pant. Which. Basically. Nailed. It. All.

Before I sign off (and start making my online purchases), this is what I ate for brunch earlier today. Aptly named after traditional female Japanese performers (Memoirs of a Geisha, anyone?), the 'Geisha' consists of black and white sesame-crusted tuna steak along with wasabi mash. Wow, wasabi mash - thats mash potato in a whole new level (YES, I'm a sucker for anything potato). 

Place we went to: Twenty & Six Espresso, along 594 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne
