Thirty Threads



Introducing to you a relatively new site to this industry,
one who strongly believes in pret-a-porter fashion,
where apparels are either designed in-house 
or sourced in limited quantities 
to guarantee exclusivity.
Now, that itself distinguishes Thirtythreads from many others.

I was lucky to be able to receive this lovely piece from them.

Sheath Dress
 you can wear a jacket over

or just go w/o the jacket.
(black straps provided!)
sorry for the bad quality cause i was using my good ol' canon ixus 130 :(

back view
with a back zipper
 or! you can wear w/o the straps as well.

this is a really nice piece,
which leaves a sophisticated and sensational impression.
loves it!

Four Hundred. -LNY Day 1


HELLOHA!!

it's the 4th day of CNY already.
i guess many of you are already back at work,
or back in school.

So now, how many of you are just like me,
suffering from the consequences of indulging in too much cny goodies??
im having the combi of sore throat + blocked nose + cough now.
IRRITATING!!
but actually, i had that since Day 1.
Yet, that didnt stop me from eating my favourites:
Cashew nuts, pineapple tarts & hei bi hiam!
I had the mentality of “dont care, just 以毒攻毒”
(using poison to fight poison - literal translation),
so i didnt deprive myself from the food despite the virus in me ;D
life is short, live it!

Three Hundred & Ninety Nine.

she's just so cute.

showed Mummee my new item collected,
& realized it was the same colour as her shirt!
so she did this:


即使只有我们两,我们也要好好过。开开心心过新年。:)
I love her, so so much. :) 

Angbao packing, to welcome the year of Dragon!

It's CNY/LNY's eve tomorrow!
Gna have a good dinner with Mummee :)
Sis & bro-in-law & tingting went back to msia!

It really doesnt matter how cliche all these may sound,
but to me,
Lunar New Year is the time for all families to gather together,
& enjoy some family warmth.
As simple as that.
I don't understand how some people can go on complaining forever,
about how boring visits can be (yes, to some extent, yes.),
how lame the traditions are,
& that they HATE it.
(Ah yes, the infamous Amos Yee comes to mind now.)
but no, you dont use such a strong word.
It really is a tradition that we should be proud of,
& should be kept forever.
Stop acting all cool & think that "young people nowadays" 
must not enjoy chinese new year.

Cny goodies & nice reunion dinner aside,
it is the quality family time that we really should cherish.
You'll never know who may not be present at the reunion dinner table
the very next year.
Okay, not to sound too heavy-hearted,
but you get my drift.
So yes,
please enjoy yourself during this long weekend.
On the very first day,
the very first thing that you should do once you wake up,
is to greet your parents with all the auspicious sayings,
give them a tight hug,
& bless them to have a healthy year ahead.
Even if this tradition does not matter much to you,
it may still means alot to the older generation.

okay, random rantings aside.

Three Hundred & Ninety Five. -Samsung Galaxy Note Review

Samsung Galaxy Note: Do-in-one phone



So on 17th December 2011,
the lucky bloggers went to Samsung Store to collect the Galaxy Notes,
at the Samsung Flagship Store at Vivo City.
& were given a week to use the phone.

Thanks to Nuffnang, 
I was one of the lucky bloggers for the user trial of this phone. 
Having spent more than a week with the phone, 
I really couldn’t bear to part with it. 
(I bought it eventually; but my sis is the one using it now! She loves this phone ALOT.)

To be honest, I am not a professional gadget blogger; 
I am just here to share with you a lil’ more about this phone, 
in approximately 160 words (test of summary skills!!).

Three Hundred & Ninety Four. - Jipaban CNY Blog Contest

if you have not realized that CNY is just 8 days away............
you deserve a knock on your head!!

Have you shopped for your CNY stuff already??
Ten years ago, it's common to hear things like
"we only get to buy new clothes once a year i.e CNY!"

Nowadays? Hmmm......

Nevertheless, I still believe that we should all get our new clothes 
to welcome a brand new year. 
感染一下气氛吗!(enjoy the atmosphere!)


okayokay, 废话少说(shall not talk too much).
& now, Imma show you how you can shop for MANY goodies,
under $100!

If I were to receive a $100 Jipaban voucher,
how would I spend it this CNY?!




I will wna get a total of 6 awesome items:

1 top for my bf
1 maxi dress,
1 clutch,
1 ring,
1 bracelet
& 1 pair of earrings.

Seeing is believing.
