Ebony Beauty is elegance personified. I love everything about it, from its simple, well-cut silhouette to its smooth satin material. (Click on images to enlarge)

2) White Innocence (S$29 inclusive of normal mail postage) – LAST PIECE-

White Innocence is simplicity at its best. Made of chiffon with satin straps, this is one of my favourite summer dresses as it is effortlessly flirty and feminine. Need I say more?

Both dresses fit UK Size 6-8. I’m 1.6m tall.

I used to have so many ideas about how I want to celebrate my birthday, and fine dining at one of the best restaurants in Singapore was always key. I love food (yes, in spite of my tiny frame), but I have also come to realise that fine dining does nothing much for me. Blame it on my palate or lack of patience, but I just can’t bring myself to sit at a restaurant for hours waiting for minuscule morsels of meat or vegetables dressed in bubbly froth, among other exotic concoctions, served on oversized plates. I like to be able to share generous servings of food with people I love.

Last year, my early birthday celebration was held at Coca Restaurant. I love the steamboat buffet! The wide selection of delectable choices (especially the tender beef slices), sauces and soup base will leave you wanting more!

I’m still waiting for Karen’s photos, but I couldn’t resist posting up the photos of the food first!
Reservations are recommended as there is limited seating capacity.

But I did get to have my yummy steak! The specialties here include the traditional Russian Borsch soup (super delish!) with sweet fluffy bread rolls and the Shashlik steak. The Shashilik steak does not come with any sauce, so you can taste the natural goodness of piping hot, premium beef on its own.

Again, reservations are recommended because despite its obscure location, you’ll be surprised that it is often fully booked!

Shashlik is located at:

I’ve received several emails from ladies who missed out on the recent Victorian Lace top that I posted and I feel really bad!! Thus, I’ve decided to check on my supplier’s available stocks so that you girls have another chance to own this top!

Jun and I have been friends for more than a decade now, and I’ll like to think that we still look as youthful as the first time we met! (For those who beg to differ, we would appreciate if you could hold your tongues forever. :P)

I know I’m slow. Practically everyone I know in Singapore has already tried Melben Seafood and given it their thumbs up. For the uninitiated (otherwise known as “suaku people” in Singlish), Melben Seafood is a famous crab joint tucked away in an HDB estate in Ang Mo Kio. Ordinarily, one wouldn’t expect a neighborhood seafood restaurant to draw huge crowds, but Melben is in a different league altogether. Waiting in line for at least half an hour appears to be the norm. In addition to that, we had to wait an additional 20 minutes or so for our food to be served.

I was utterly amazed by Clara’s artistic talent and how effortless it was for her to draw these immaculate little birds on my nails. My nails were done in the blink of an eye!

Most importantly, I’ve said yes several times to various opportunities presented to me, especially opportunities that require me to step out of my comfort zone.

To me, life is not just about keeping your loved ones close to your heart, but it is also about exploring new horizons and having different experiences.

In 2011, I endeavour to spend more time with my family. I do make an effort to spend time with family, but somehow I feel that I ought to spend even more time with them, especially with my parents and my two grandmothers (they’re in their 80s and 90s! Amazing right?).

I don’t want regret to be on the cards when it’s too late, if you know what I mean. 🙂

So, treasure your loved ones before it’s too late! This is my new year resolution. Simple and succinct.

As for now, enjoy the weekend before work begins again on 3rd Jan!
