Obsessed with Camo

For me, I love anything that is in Camo prints, faux leather and Studs.
So basically for my camo collections, I've got:

• Jackets
• Studded Jacket
• Blouse 
• Tanktop
• Dress 
• Shorts 

Well, still not enough for me. Ordered a camo phone casing yet realised its for iPhone 5 after I've made the payments -__- No choice, gotta sell it away once it arrives, sigh. 

Definitely there's more camo stuffs but lazy to dig it all out hahahha. 

For faux leather, it's already so expensive to get a pair of leather pants/shorts, let alone dresses etc. So far, I've only got a leather jacket and skirt only ); 

Guess those sweet floral or chiffon apparels is really a BIG no-no for me. Got a feeling that I was a guy in my previous life. 

Alright, just here sharing my preference and some shots of mine taken few hours back. 

And yes, I'm wearing RED contact lens!

Good bye :D

Incident with Carousell

Recently, I was really angry with one of a buyer+seller on Carousell that 'blacklisted' me on something that we both party have misunderstanding and at fault. She demanded on something being unfair to my stand and as I decline her request, she blacklisted me right away in spite of my explanations. Sometimes, I wonder if customers have misused the definition of this sentence: "customer is always right".

I shall not further elaborate the whole story (as part of my weakness, I'm someone who can actually be real sensitive and petty about such matter) to prevent myself feeling angst about it again.

Pulling the story to the last part:
I sent her 3 long messages to explain us as a seller's stand and point of view. Yet there wasn't any replies and I ASSUME that she understood my point.

Ended up, I was browsing through Carousell app one day and then I saw the 'blacklist' list. Exasperated, I replied via comment under the list she posted up, explaining the side of my story and not having others to only believe her side of the story. As a great supporter of Carousell, I emailed the admin and leave this case under defamatory. 

Note: She's selling non-authentic goods and I may actually use that to fight back which I did not (only if I'm cunning enough).

Furthermore, there's this fellow out of nowhere probably to gain some retarded attention, telling stories that happened in his or her dream before. Claiming that he or she deal with me before and the same incident happened (wtf, she/he can be some fucking fictional novelist I swear), and then MAIL BE BACK THE ITEM. This is an absolute joke. I've NEVER EVER deal with this fellow before. So how he/she mail me 'BACK' the item? Furthermore, I've only received ITEMS from Online shopping sites and Carousell Sellers ONLY.
NO REFUND OR WHATEVER BULLSHIT PARCEL before this girl incident.



Censored the girl name and that fellow who MALIGN/ACCUSE+DEFAME me. I'm just too kind. But don't push the limit further.

And Carousell is really very efficient with their service. They replied my email within just a day! :D

However, before I explain the details and screen shot down the evidence, THAT seller eventually private chat with me to resolve this matter in an amiable way instead. Agreeing to that (I CAN actually be the one who BLACKLIST her AT FIRST for being demanding and unreasonable with her request and not standing under a seller's shoes and think and spare a thought for us).

Okay la, for the sake of curiosity, I'll summarize the whole incident up.
There was once where there was a 'SALES-PERIOD', having buyer to transfer the money to be by 10pm that night, there will be FREE postage + mailing out the next day before 12pm. Hence, majority of the buyers eventually received their items right on the next following day! THIS girl, is one of them.

Girl claim: Photo misleading, item defected (checked again after the refunds and I truly wonder where is the bloody hole. Probably I'm 'blind' instead), request for a REFUND.

Me claim: Listed 2 pictures, 2nd picture (the real pic of the item) for reference and expecting customers to clear their doubts (WHO CAN'T SEE THE DIFF of the TWO pics?! -_-). 1st picture may be misleading to admit but that's how the length etc supposed to be. Apologised to Girl for not checking the 'defected' good and kindly request any item mailed to her with free mailing instead of refund (very leychey, I don't know how to remove payee from the horrible amount of payees from my transfer list in ibanking! HAHA)

Girl claim: Insisted on the faults of the item and started to DEMAND for a refund. (By the way, the item only cost $8. Can't even get a plate of half dozen escargots in Jack's place please).

Main thing is not about the $8 here. It's me making my trip down to my nearest ATM to get the freaking $8 transferred. It's an hassle. 

Me claim: Explained the situation again and again and again.

Girl claim: INSISTED her way still for the bloody $8.

Me claim: Continue to explain, hope she understand the overall point.

Girl claim: CLAIM NOTHING LA DEY. WENT MIA. SO CLEVER.



Next up, I saw my blacklist post. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER.

My intention here:
If this girl spot anything that make up to $8, then I'll mail it to her for absolutely FREE. That 'defected' good (again, I spot no defects. I'm going to the optician shop tomorrow), she can just keep it or bloody hell sew it with threads and needle or jolly well throw it away.


Anyway, the post is removed not long later she private message/chat with me after I told her that I'll leave this to the admin.

I even read the WHOLE terms and conditions of Carousell for this matter. Ensuring my rights.

Please people, be a responsible and understanding seller and buyer. If you are as fussy as some bimbo, then go get your ass down to ZARA, FOREVER21, A&F, EDITOR'S MARKET for your buy. Don't come to online FLEA market for cheap deals.

Till now, I still think the 'blacklist' thing is crazily idiotic. For a $8 trying to defame me? Doubt you're aware that that you are actually risking yourself for paying a few times more for lawsuits then.

MY definition for BLACKLIST: 

A seller, scam money from multiple person and had actually scammed quite a big sum of money (eg: $500 onward please, that at least sounds more reasonable though) and STILL scamming people's money around.
Eg: the forum spree incident where a woman name 'Pauline Ong' scammed $53,000 from 230 buyers. 

OR

A buyer, who always wanna meet up with sellers, then goes MIA during last minute when seller has arrived at the supposed meet-up venue. Multiple incidents happened between other sellers as well.


By the way, I'll usually get to see all these nonsensical 'blacklist' thingy on Facebook or Blog shops and seldom to nearly none on livejournal or any websites that has their OWN domain. Furthermore, Carousell is not an Online Shopping website or a shop itself or whatever. Just a reminder, It's a VENUE. A convenient and beneficial venue to buy and sell cheap stuffs and earn some cash. NOT your own BLOG SHOP.



PS; I'm still supporting Carousell as ever and has recently purchased 5-8 apparels on Carousell this month ^.^ And yep, still spreading around to people about this APP which is now available in Android already!!! :D

Overpopulated Singapore...

I just got to know the news of The White Paper of bringing in more foreigners in Singapore by the year 2030 through the news few days back...Increasing the population in Singapore to 6.9 million people...

Singapore is my homeland. I have always been supporting Singapore for the past 18 years and hence seeing this matter really importantly. Recently, me and my 2 ladies were having our routine chit-chats and unknowingly getting ourselves into this subject. And now, I am getting really worried of our situation as we grow up as an adult after the age of 21.

To be frank, we are still young and still studying studiously as a student. One trying her best to pass her 'O' level through MDIS this year after regretted quitting school at the age of 15. One has been trying her best and has always been hardworking towards her studies is now trying to pass her Diploma in Republic Polytechnic. As me, I sincerely regretted not putting in effort during my Secondary School days and has finally woke up to my senses, has managed to pass my Diploma through private school (Kaplan) and now taking my Degree under Murdoch University in Perth. Because we all know Singapore is a competitive city. Just like how our relatives and parents said: "In Singapore, no cert, you're nothing."

I am thankful for this beautiful vibrant city, beautiful country. Even thankful for the effort our most amiable PM Lee has put in to make our living environment a much better place. Having Singapore a stable and secured place to live in. I've always heard people complaining such as:

"Walao, this increase, that increase, WHY MY SALARY NO INCREASE?!" 

or 

"Everything also fine, everything also need to pay. Singapore is a 'fine' city indeed".

Even through my assignment essay, I have never ever discourage anyone or neither agree to any of the above. 

Firstly, because Singapore's economic is strong. We are financially stabled as compared to other countries around us. Apart from that, simply look at our rapid increase of GDP rate ($239.7 Billion US dollars as at google search in year 2011) and look at our HDI (Human Development Index), we're ranked 7th among the WHOLE Asia and Oceania. 

Yes, I am very proud of the establishment in Singapore. All along I am proud of Singapore, be it with the safety, the benefits for its people, and how united Singaporean is. 

But why.. 

Singaporean is protesting now.. what happened to our beautiful city..

5000 citizens were upset, disappointed, worried, angry, agitated and maybe impulsive (to even put up a protest) turned up for the protest in against with the government's white paper on population Speaker's corner. And all these 5000 citizens does not represent those who did not turn up either (example: me and my 2 closest best friends). 

We are worried instead of angry. 

Taking the train during peak hours has become a hassle. I am thankful that many routes has been implemented for our convenience and many still working on it (explaining so many roads under constructions etc), and thankful that the highway towards Stevens road was being expanded/widen so that to ensure a smoother traffic during peak hours.

 But with the huge amount of new population coming in to fight seats in the MRT with us poor Singaporeans after school during peak hour, having inconsiderate china woman speaking loudly on the phone, or got pushed by them hardly when the train is already crowded enough, having them to drive during peak hours... now we're afraid of having MORE china people (not trying to condemn or stereotype, but as based on the numerous experiences and what I've saw since I was 13 till now in SIngapore) to speak loudly on the phone in the train / bus. Having more china ladies to push us hardly when it's squeezy in the public transport. I actually don't blame them. I have been to china for numerous times as well. This is their culture because the population there is huge and in order to 'protect' themselves, they have to act this way. I was acting THAT way when I was in china as well. But please don't forget, once they are in Singapore, that's a different case. Not everyone is used to that culture. 

As for widening the lanes on highway, if more foreigners are coming to Singapore in year 2030, it will not make a difference anymore. The highway is still going to be congested with cars of the foreigners together with us poor Singaporeans during peak hours or probably be worst than what we see now in later years to come.

Will we get to see foreigners snatching more of our jobs? 

Does that means we gotta study TRIPLE hard now in order to protect ourselves in our own country from 'invasion' of foreigners to snatch our jobs? 

Can we have a public transport that is ONLY available for Pure Singaporean Citizens (born in SG)? 

As the increase of foreign talents, now working at 'GONG CHA' (bubble tea shop) already need minimum 'O'/'A' level cert. Next time work retail sell clothes, will the minimum requirement for a sales girl be Diploma cert? 

Will we get to see 'N'/'O' level graduated adults working illegal jobs which there may be an increase of crime rates?

Due to many parents over-doting their child nowadays in Singapore, will their child grow up and able to accept and handle all these stress? Will they hence get to know the bad company in order to have 'fun' everyday which resulting in neglecting their studies and an increase of crime rates instead? 

Will more china bus driver work for SMRT? I've witnessed for myself a few china bus drivers being either very rude to passengers or extremely 'bo chup' (hack care). 

Will there be more Bangladesh workers staring at us girls and smirk at us whenever we dress prettily with make up etc? 

Felt so insecure just by thinking of it....

What will Singapore look like in another 10 years time is going to be beyond our imagination. 

As Singapore students study hard for their future now, will they migrate to other countries to work for their economics in future instead of squeezing in this overpopulated Singapore to work for Singapore's instead? 

For me, If I pass my Degree and knowing Singapore is so going to be overpopulated, I won't be working in Singapore. Singapore is my HOMELAND. At this point, I know I am selfish. Why am I sharing my homeland, my job, my space with foreigners? They have their homeland isn't it? Don't they love their country? Won't they miss their homeland? I understand if they were out of choice (eg: overpopulated China). But for us now Singapore, it's a decision, it's a choice. I want to work for Singapore, I want to repay to this society as well. I want to... 

I have signed the petition here. I just hope by year 2030 when I'm still in Singapore, I will still know how to acknowledge myself as a Singaporean and not being confused and lost with all the foreigners around me... 

This are just my thoughts and feelings as a 100% local Singaporean.

Out with brobro

Well, here updating an expired post!

Met up with bro early for shopping and our tattoo appointment! Went cineleisure for our lunch before heading to H&M for SOME SHIOKNESS OVERWHELMING SHOPPING SPREE! HAHAHA

Outfit of the day!

Met up with brobro around early noon time. The sun at that moment, I swear it's terrible. 

After our filling lunch, went to SHOPPPPPPPPP at H&M next! I'm his personal shopper of the day (I'M SO KINDHEARTED THAT I DIDN'T CHARGE HIM A SINGLE CENT OKAY HAHAHAH!) 

Brobro looks damn gay while carrying the shopping bag though :/ 

However, girls are fragile too.. so... yeah :p 

So as bro was queuing for fitting room, I've walked around the men's section for at least 20 rounds. Making sure things goes AFFORDABLE CHEAP and not missing any single GREAT DEALS.

OMG I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF T.T

Picked smart casual for brobro's cny outfit. 

Having a thin sweater overlaying above a light blue formal collared long sleeve (white may look too contrast if put together with the sweater), together with a pair of dark khaki/brown colored pants that matches well with the above navy blue sweater (the main overall). 

Together with a pair of dark denim brown shoe lace shoes (not shown in pic), 

$190 for 4 men's items. 

I swear I can get something cheaper and fashionable like the above picked from H&M at BUGIS village as well lor. *kiasu aunty* 

Got this leopard prints oversize top/dress. 

Found this precious from the Men's section for $39.90 only. 

Just love the big and oversized effect of it! 

Got a Maroon red tanktop for $7.90 and a female blazer in Fuchsia for $39.90 only! 

Overall spending for myself at H&M = 3 items: $87.70! 

Not the cheapest deal ever, but definitely worth the price that I've paid for. 

As we stepped out of H&M, it's a little too late for us to realize that it's raining. So, we dashed across to 313 (locating beside H&M only by the way fml) and went to Charlie Brown Cafe! First visit after passing by numerous times! However, not really recommended though. Overpriced for the quality of food and their dessert is too sweet (for me). 

 Despite the sweet dessert, they don't serve plain WATER :( 

What baloney is that. Thankfully I've brought along mine. 

Went over to Orchard Plaza to get the back of my neck inked. 

Jack has moved from China Town to Orchard Plaza for his Tattoo business. The studio now is more spacious and comfortable! He's still so friendly and kind as always. So glad to see him again. Guess there'll be another session coming up in completion of my thigh with him soon!

Previously, in a hurry of traffic conjunction, probably because bro has long legs than I do. Unknowing that I don't know how to cross the traffic (actually, I meant by afraid to), he walked in front of me instead. BLOODY HIM. So as a punishment, he gotta wear my headband and take a retarded picture of him.

He can't smile properly with his teeth one leh. 

Spent 10 hours with Jack and left his place around 2am. All thanks to bro's new ink please. 

Just can't stop giggling at how epic bro look in that picture above. 

Ending with a sweet smile. 

For the abandoned angel, for strength. 

Infinity strength.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day used to be a very important and special occasion for me in the past. However, as time goes by (as I grow older fml), Valentine's day to me has become just a day that businesses earns big bucks HAHA.

Had a simple movie date and dinner with Nic. Caugh ABTM2 which I wanted to watch it so badly previously. It was nice as expected and more emotions were put in for this movie (part 2) as compared to the first movie of ABTM. If you have yet to watch it and had watched the part 1, do hurry get your ass rolled to your nearest cinema and catch the part 2!!

Rating for Ah Boys to Men 2 = 4/5
The remaining 1 point the I've left out is simply because I wish the duration of the movie can be longer! :P

Was planning to catch Les Miserables but I guess my friends will simply just fall asleep in the cinema, le sigh :( 

Pretty enjoyed myself today with Nic. Wanted to get the satchel bag from Dr Martens but it was out of stock in the whole Singapore. So in the end went over to Gucci and realised it closes at 9pm -_- 

What a sad and miserable day. Some shops just don't want to earn my money.

Chinese New Year 2013

Reunion dinner was a great one. Went two sides (paternal and maternal) as usual. Whipped up a few dishes at maternal's granny side.
2 different veggies with big scallops! I love scallops!

Went paternal's side to Lou Hei after the sumptuous home-cook lunch at Popo's place!

----------------------------------------

Chinese New Year this year seems to be much more relaxing than the other previous years. Skipped house visiting at different places and visit all at once at ONE particular relative's place. No longer that time-consuming as those previous years. Pretty enjoyed myself, received numerous ang paos and hope to be single forever so that I don't have to be the one contributing ang paos in future HAHA.

Went to maternal's side for house-visiting at Aljunied first. Saw my cousins, aunt and uncle, granny and grandpa. Wasn't a good day because it was raining, making me extremely sleepy! However, water is money (the elder say so), hence... HUAT AH!! ALL HUAT HUAT HUAT AH!! 

After having lunch at Granny's place and done with bai nian, went over to Paternal's side aftermath!

Me and Cath (lady in polka dots) shares the same age among the other cousins and is the eldest, having Cath older than me by 2 months. Family too big in paternal's side. Closest relatives most didn't turn up as the recent death of one of our relatives (not close to me, don't even know who he is). The remaining others, I don't even know some of the names of my other cousins or neither I get to know any of them -_-
The world is so small. Few years back, when I was in youth hub (a place where people play and study together), I taught a boy who has some difficulties in his studies. Surprisingly few years later, I saw him at our relative's funeral. That is when I realized he's my relative as well lol.

After Bai nian with granddad and grandma, went back home with Cath and Aunt, while waiting for their mahjong kaki to arrive at our place as well as waiting for Cath's boyfriend and my brobro and sammy to came over to some gamblegamble. HAHA.

Had a pleasant day with family and friends! Went Malaysia kampong bekok with cousin and Aunt for the very first time the next day! 

The only leisure there is to EAT, SLEEP, EAT, SLEEP and continues. 

*HAPPILY-EXPOSING-MY-NAKED-FACE-AFTER-BATH* Fml.
(towel still attach on my head. HAHHA)


Always wanted to put the kong ming lantern and HERE IT IS!
SO MANY COLOURS FOR ME TO CHOOSE FROM ^_^ 

May all my wishes come true...

A pretty memorable year. Still hoping my wishes will come true. Being kinda sentimental this year as well. Hope everyone will be glad with their angpaos received. Happy Chinese New Year to all ;)
