I thought I deserved a good break after 3 grueling week of non stop practices so I decided to meet up with Yazmin. Time is passing by way too fast. It's been months since I last saw her! She's always out of town or having school so I'm glad we found a time to catch up. We decided to go to Orchard cause all the shops I want to go to are there hahaha. I didn't really buy much but it was more of a window shopping day for me. I was looking out for clothes that I want to buy for my Shanghai trip (It's in 2 weeks omg!) and planning to bring my mummy to shop with me this Friday :D Ok here are some photos of Yazzy and me!
(Purely accidental)
The problem with school trips for me is that they seldom allow skirts and dresses. It's so annoying cause I really hate wearing jeans. It's like I can't feel my thighs and it's so restricting. I feel a lot more comfier in my dresses and boots. More of my kind of style too! Well I found a solution to that when I went to Uniqlo! I swear, the jeggings there are soooooo comfy. For those who don't know, jeggings are a cross between leggings and jeans. They're basically leggings but made of a thicker material. They're not pricy as well! Probably going to buy 2 pairs when I go to Orchard on Friday.
Then we went to Candylicious cause candy makes baby Yazmin happy. Okay got to admit, who doesn't love candies? Hahaha! So when we went in, they were playing Christmas songs! Ironically, Christmas is my favourite season of the year even though my family seldom celebrates it. It's quite sad actually cause I would love to have a Christmas gathering where we will take lots of photos, play secret santa and unwrap gifts. Most of my relatives are in Hong Kong so that kind of sucks :/ But it's still nice to shop around during this time of the year because of all the decorations and music.
I wasn't planning to buy any candies when I entered the shop but the music played was like some brainwashing spell. My inner 7 year old girl came out and I couldn't help but buy candies! And I chose to buy the kind where you pick your own and pay according to the weight of it. I was having so much fun picking the candies and I made sure I only picked the colours I like hehe!
Gobbled them down in minutes oops.
We then headed to a few of my favourite shops such as F21, Bershka, Stradivarius and Zara. I'm always visiting the same few shops at Orchard haha! Can't help it but they're stuff are too attractive. After a few hours of shopping, we stopped for my favourite Takoyaki! Everytime I'm at Orchard, I make it a point to visit my favourite Takoyaki stall. You know the one at the basement of Ion? Yup, you'll always find me there. I'm pretty sure they sell the best Takoyaki in Singapore. Brings me back to the time when I was in Japan with Lynn and we had Takoyaki almost everyday!
Ultimately, at the end of the day, I only bought a pair of shoes from Bershka. I bought it for my Shanghai trip as well as for school! Thought it should be about time I should get a new pair of school shoes. The last time I shopped for school, it was back in February when I was in HK.
For dinner, we ate at Cedele. We decided on Cedele just cause it was closest to where we were and we were honestly too tired to find another shop. This always happens when I'm with Yazmin. We shop till we drop then just find the nearest cafe/restaurant and eat there.
Chicken and Walnut Salad ($15)
Yazmin is on a high carb, low protein diet which explains what she ordered. This salad consist of a grilled, juicy chicken and Californian walnuts with a recommended salad dressing of its whole grain mustard. When the dish first arrived, we were quite shock at the amount of greens there were. However Yazzy still managed to finish it cause vege isn't really very filling.
Ref Velvet Cake ($6.50)
I wasn't really hungry that night so here's what I ordered. This cake comes with natural vege juice and has a gentle hint of chocolate. It's frosted with light velvety vanilla cream that is not too sweet. That's what we worry most about cakes right? That they'll be too sweet and hence, we won't be able to finish it haha! Organic unrefined sugar and grape red oil were used as well. Mmmm I wouldn't say this cake was spectacular. I find that the red velvet cake Jolene baked for me is nicer haha! The portion is definitely worth the money though. I couldn't finish it cause it was too much for me.
And a quick ootd before I end the post! I know I haven't been doing much ootd post but I'll probably do one up this Friday so look out for it!
I'm not a fan of wearing shorts to Orchard but omg, this pair of denim is an exception. I got this pair from TTR awhile back and I love it to bits! It features lace details at the bottom of the shorts which distinguishes it from an ordinary pair of denim. Super comfy as well! Paired it with a LB top which I stole from my sister hehehe. There's actually mesh details at the sides of the top but it can't clearly be seen in this photo. It's really pretty in real life actually but I forgot to take a close up that day oops. I actually met my sister that night and the first thing she said was "I can't help but notice half the things you're wearing are mine". Haha that's true! The top, bag, watch and even bracelet are hers. We always share our clothes and that's the good thing about having a shared wardrobe :D
Well today marks the start of November supplementary lessons. As much as I hate it, I'm glad to be able to spend some time in school with my 01 darlings. Counting down to my Shanghai trip! Just a little heads up, I'm the photographer for my group so there will definitely be lots of new posts!
