Thor: The Dark World

Hey guys! I'm back to talk about another movie that has caught my eye and it's none other then *cues drum roll* Thor: The Dark World!!! Superhero movies are a classic and I say this with all my heart, they are never ever boring. Many of us like superhero movies for different reasons. Be it the action involved, the idea of a good person in society or even the love story that is entailed. Funny story but my PW group was talking about Thor today in school. Well Jia Lin and Lynne are obsessed with Loki and think that he's really good looking haha! They could rmb specific scenes in the trailer such as when Natalie Portman slapped Loki and he said that he likes her. Then they started spazzing out tgt haha!

There's just smth about superhero movies that draws your attention to it. Every time a new movie of this genre comes out, it tends to be a hit and is one of the block busters of the year. Remember Avengers from last year? Well you probably do because it had such a profound impact on all of us. The plot was just sooooo cool and we are all eagerly waiting for the next one to come out. In fact, for orientation this year, SR's theme was Stronger As One. This was inspired by Avengers which teaches us the power of different people coming together and being 'one'. Everyday, they would change the main character and had funny actions for them haha! Brings back so much memories(:

Well I'm sure Thor would be no different. I'm so excited to catch this movie because I'm a sucker for such shows. I love how superhero movies are not too violent or gory yet there's the right amount of action involved. There's also always a plot twist which leave you seating at the edge of your seats, eager to find out what will happen next. Watching it in a cinema with your friends is all the more better because of the sound effects.

On a side note, do you find yourself hoping that the good guy will win in the end? Call me old fashion but I just love it when good wins haha! I do have friends that want the bad guys to win cause according to them, it's too boring when good guys win. Well I hate it when they do and love it when they fail haha!

After talking so much, you guys are probably eager to see the trailer! Well enjoy!

Here's an interesting question for you to think about and buzz around with your friends. If you had Thor's Mjolner for a day, what would you do with it? Personally I would arrest all the bad guys. Not kidding, I'll just like magically 'push' all of them to jail using the force of the Mjolner hohoho. And it'll be nice if I could summon the rain when it's 35 degrees. Did you know that Thor's Mjolner can actually track a person? Yes, I did my research. Thor fan here! It'll be nice to have the ability to track a person. That way you'll know where someone is at any time of the day. Ok sounds really freaky and stalkerish but think about it, now you don't have to worry about a teacher walking pass when you're doing your hw HAHA! That happened to a few of my friends and they panicked like crazy after. Also let's pray that my teachers don't read my blog haha!

TAL: Northern Lights

I'm not sure if it's cause the holidays are approaching but this skirt kind of reminds me of Christmas. The prints and colour of it gives me a very festive vibe. Just smth funny I thought I should share with you guys haha!

So anw, today's post marks the very last post on TAL. The past month has been really fun doing photo shoots and blogging for them. Hope you guys had as much fun reading about their outfits and finding out more about their apparels which I absolutely love(:

This skirt does a mix of both the tribal and aztec prints, 2 prints which will nvr go out of style. I always see blog shops coming up with apparels with either tribal or aztec print. Why not mix both together? It's such a fun way to dress up. I paired it with a basic black T for the simple reason that the skirt is printed. It'll look really overwhelming if paired with a top with prints as well. Moreover, pairing it with a basic top draws more attention to your skirt, which you would want cause the skirt is just lovely.

TAL has launched a lot of new apparels on their website so do hop over to their web here and like them on facebook. Follow them on instagram @theangelslabel for the latest updates as well!

PS. Yes, those are my colorrun shade hohoho

Weekends are always a good reason to dress up(: Who doesn't love weekends? It's the best time to meet up with your friends over a cup of coffee or just lay in bed the whole day and watch TV series. I've just started watching How I Met Your Mother and there's soooo many seasons. Guess who's gona be glued to her bed and macbook the whole day haha!

Today's post features a really bright and colourful dress from TAL. This HnM inspired piece is a perfect dress for a weekend brunch date. I love how the splash of colours look like a painting. It's just so lovely and abstract. Before I left the house, my mum complimented this dress and said that it's really eye catching hehe. It comes along with adjustable straps which is always a good thing for petite girls like me.

I was going for a comfy, laid back look so I paired it with a basic white blouse. I also wanted to cover my horrible tan line haha! You could also pair it with a denim blouse and tie it in front. Initially, I wanted to pair it with a denim blouse but I felt comfier in this white blouse. A denim blouse would make it look more structured by default of the material.

JFxLB Fashion Show!

I'm so so so excited to be blogging about the JFxLB Fashion Show cause it's the very first fashion show I've been too! There were so many celebs and even though it's been close to a week since the event, I'm still starstruck hehe! Saw celebs such as Fann Wong, Xu Bin, Ming Bridges, Xia Xue and many more!

Before the event, Jolene and I went to have dinner at Kraze Burger first. We wanted to go back to Hoshinoya for their awesome curry pot rice but the queue was too long and we didn't want to wait in heels :/ Kraze Burger didn't have a queue then so we went there!

 

We got to MBS at around 8.30pm and were afraid that we would be late at first! Turns out, the show started late so we ended up queuing for more than an hour. Thank god we had the company of each other and ended up talking about everything in the world to pass the time away haha! I also bumped into my ex piano teacher and her daughter there! Haven't seen her for years. Fancy seeing her at a fashion show.

When we were finally able to go in, we had to stand around the runway. That's when we saw all the celebs. They were seated right opposite us and it was super funny seeing all the reporters take photos of them. Especially when Fann Wong entered the place. The flashes were just everywhere!

Here's some photos from the fashion show(:

 

 

 

The set was really pretty with trees around and all. Kind of felt like I was in Europe during the fall season. The outfits were really pretty and Jolene and I found ourselves eyeing on a few designs. My favourite had to be a black tube maxi which I unfortunately don't have a photo of cause I couldn't capture it. It would be perfect for prom!

And here's us being us

 

Going to insert a short ootd!

 

Here's what I wore that day! Decided to go black, white and gold. Kind of felt like some Egyptian goddess haha! Cause the fashion show is by Love Bonito, I decided to wear smth that I got from their shop. The top is from LB and I really like it cause of the crochet details. I normally avoid corset tops cause I don't find them that flattering but the cutting of this top is really good. Paired it with a maxi skirt and heels. Matched it with Klarra's clutch cause it was black and gold :D I really love the gold backing of this clutch. Makes it look more elegant don't you think?

And my make up for the night!

 

Ok the first photo was without any makeup. I only had lip gloss on then. Then I went to Jolene's place and she wanted to help me apple makeup so tadah! Hahaha! Had such a fun time at her place(: We were youtubing videos on make up tutorials and playing around with them. Kind of felt like we were getting ready for prom or smth. It's like the typical scene you see in movies when girls get together and do all sorts of girly things haha!

Speaking of happy things, I am glad to say that Jolene, John, Cornelius and I all got promoted to JC2 and are all OGLs!!! I'm really looking forward to the year ahead and many more years after our JC lives with them. I love them very very much and can't imagine how different it would have been without any one of them. Beauty and the beasts forever!!

Arbite

It's funny how I nvr ever knew that there were so many good food places at Serangoon. 3 weeks back, my family checked out a cosy brunch place at Serangoon Gardens called Arbite. We initially wanted to eat at home but since my aunt was in town, we decided to go out instead(:

Arbite is tucked at a corner on the second level. It's quite easy to miss it if you don't keep a lookout because its entrance was really small. After parking, we were walking around trying to find the place. Wasn't too hard to find if you're keeping a lookout.

We went there on a Sunday so it was pretty packed. My family got the last seats available (thank god) so we didn't have to wait! Must be our lucky day. After seating down, a queue started to form and the customers had to wait for quite a bit because there weren't many seats available. Just a tip, call to reserve seats!

As you can see, the tables were pretty close to one another. So you can actually hear the conv of the people seated next to you haha! It wouldn't be a problem if you're ok with noise but if you're the kind who prefers a quiet afternoon with your loved one, this probably won't be the best option for you.

Arbite Breakfast ($15.90)

Arbite Breakfast was actually what most of us ordered. It has everything a typical brunch would have and being a fan of food like this, I couldn't give it a miss! My sister and I initially wanted to order pancakes and Arbite Breakfast so that we can try different dishes but in the end, we both decided that Abite Breakfast looked too good. This dish was quite good actually. The bacon wasn't too salty and the sauteed mushrooms were fab(: Recommending this dish to those who are brunch lovers!

Smoked Salmon Croissant ($14.90)

Here's what my mummy ordered. I only tried the bread cause I'm not a fan of raw food if you haven't found out yet haha! My friends always say I have not lived cause I've nvr tried sashimi and raw salmon before but raw food is just ... to me. My mum seemed like she enjoyed it so that's good (:

Truffle Beef Burger ($18.90)

Here's what Rifdi got! I always find it quite sad that he can't have the typical brunch set cause there's usually pork in it haha! But there are still many other options available for our Muslim friends(:

 

Lemongrass Spaghetti Vongole ($23.90)

And the most expensive dish of that day haha! My brother wasn't feeling really brunch ish so he ordered a proper meal instead. Little brother is eating huge amounts recently and a regular brunch set wouldn't be enough for him. Guess that's the problem with big appetites! I tried a little and it was quite good! Not smth I would order at a cafe though. Cafe just echoes pastries and brunch to me.

After eating, we realised that we were still a little hungry so we ordered pancakes! Doesn't it look really pretty :D Smiley face to kick start your weekend! I wouldn't recommend this dish though. 7 of us actually shared this dish so we all tried a little only. But that little bit was enough to make us cringe cause it was way toooooo sweet! I can't imagine how 1 person can finish this whole dish by himself/herself! I would say order this dish only if you're gona share it with a few ppl.

And a few other photos from that day!

I've nvr been a fan of pink apparels because I find that pink is generally not my colour but I decided to take a risk and got my hands on a peach pink dress from TAL. Must say I don't regret it at all!

Today's post features a sweet dress perfect for a date with your loved one. When I wore this out, it kind of felt like I'm gng on a romantic date. It's a really sweet shade of pink which I feel goes best with white accessories.

What really caught my attention was the material used for this dress. It isn't light weighted and actually, it's made of a heavier material than my other dresses. Don't get me wrong, it's not that this dress felt heavy. In fact, it was perfect. You know the trouble you have when the wind blows and you're wearing a dress/skirt? It won't happen to this dress so you can walk comfortably outdoors hehe.

This dress fits comfortably on me and I really liked the sewing at the waist. It's a little elastic so you don't have to worry about over eating or your tummy showing. (yay!) It comes in emerald, red and peach pink so do hop on over to TAL's Facebook page here and follow them on instagram at @theangelslabel for updates!
