Nakhon

Checked out Nakhon last Friday with Jo after school ended. Back to our usual Friday lunch dates! Hehehe love days like this when we end early.

Initially, we thought of walking from our school to Nakhon but then it started to rain so we decided to take a bus instead. It's really near our school actually and it's just 2 bus stops away! (Kovan MRT) And after a 5mins we were there!

Nakhon isn't very big but luckily for us, there were seats available! Guess it's cause it's a Friday and almost everyone is at school or work so we didn't have to wait!

 

Thai Style Fried Kway Teow ($4)

My sister gave me the ??? look when I told her I got Char Kway Teow at Nakhon. Who goes to a Thai place to get this right? But in my defence, it said Thai Style Char Kway Teow. Turns out, it was just ordinary CKT with Thai chilli at the side. It's quite good though but you probably wouldn't want to go all the way to a Nakhon to get this cause you can get it at any hawker centre hahaha.

 

Pad Thai ($5)

Now this is what you should be getting at Nakhon! Their Pad Thai is really superb and 10x better than the one my school sells. This happens to be Jo's favourite dish to order at a Thai restaurant as well(: Oh yeah! The chilli is insanely spicy though. I tried a little and gulped down a whole glass of water after hahaha! 

Red Ruby ($3)

I'm not a fan of Red Ruby cause I have sensitive teeth and it's so torturous to eat it. Well basically I don't eat anything with lots of ice such as Ice Kachang, Snow Ice etc. It'll definitely appeal to all of you who likes cold desserts though!

Mango Sticky Rice served with Coconut Milk ($5)

And here's the main reason why I wanted to check out Nakhon. I've been having a craving for Mango sticky rice ever since 2 weeks back when I had one at Outram area. It's just so yummy and I can't have enough of it! I was super excited to finally be able to eat it again but turns out... it was really disappointing. The glutinous rice wasn't sweet at all. To be frank, it's just tasteless. The mango wasn't as sweet as the one I had before too. I'm so going to go back to the shop at Outram I chanced upon one day!

PSB Academy: Diploma in Retail Management

(Sponsored)

Hello everyone! I'm particularly excited to write up this post cause I find it especially relevant to me and I guess all my friends too cause we're at that age where we are thinking about what to study and what to do in life. I'm guessing most of my viewers are around my age as well so this post is definitely fun to write up cause it's relatable to most of us! (:

So for starters, a little background on PSB.

Personally, I've always wanted to do something related to business. I won't go as far as to say that I know what post I want to be, how much I want to earn and stuff like that but for now, I'm thinking about something to do with fashion. I'm sure all of you know I really like to shop and it's my dream job to be able to see, touch, feel clothes everyday hahaha! So I can see myself attending such a course because it'll definitely boost my career! Moreover, there's nvr any harm in studying more right? It's always good to have such a diploma under your belt!

PSB Academy offers a wide range of courses but today, I'll be talking specifically about their Diploma in Retail Management. This programme is ideal for those who want to equip themselves with comprehensive retail management knowledge to deal effectively with the rapidly changing retail scene.(Me me me!) It offers a unique opportunity for students to enhance their understanding of the ‘whole retail enterprise’ in its competitive situation.

Sounds pretty interesting right?

Basically at the end of this course, you'll be able to:
-Understand the theory and practical of specific functional management areas
-Understand how to plan more effectively, solve organisational problems and contribute towards making management decisions
-Apply specific functional management skills to increase the opportunity and business efficiency in their areas of responsibility
-Assume higher levels of responsibility within specific functional management areas as a result of newly acquired/improved skills

They also have a full-fledge campus, complete facilities, friendly lecturers (supper, mega important), vibrant student life and of course! Make new friends! Making friends is always the best part of your school life cause they're the ones who will be with you throughout your years in school! Trust me when I say friends are really important(:

You're eligible for it as love as you're an O/N/A-level/ITE holder! It can be completed in as short as 14 months and upon successful completion of this programme, graduates can gain entry into our Year 2 degrees from Edinburgh Napier University, UK!

It's been a really, really long time since I've went out with my fringe tied/pinned up. I think it's been about 2 years actually haha! You know how everyone has a 'good' side? My fringe kind up covers my 'bad' side so I seldom pin it up. But for some reason, I just felt like pinning it up so I did a french braid on my fringe and curled my hair! It's so much easier to curl it now that my hair is so much shorter than in the past!

One good thing about shopping on Carousell is that you can find mass manufactured stuff at a much cheaper price than blog shops! I got this dress at $20 and it would probably have cost around $30 if I bought it at a normal blogshop. Not that I mind the price difference cause it isn't that much but it's just that I get so annoyed when I see a better deal somewhere else hahaha! Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way!

Decided to keep it comfy and casual and wore my matching Toryburch sandals and bag! I bought them separately but it just so happens that the colours match so I tend to wear them tgt. Oh anw, I think I look even younger with my fringe up like that hahaha. I look like I'm 14. 

Do you prefer me with my fringe up or down?

Midi Frenzy!

Can you tell I've been on a midi craze lately? I've nvr thought of myself wearing midis cause there's this number 1 rule for petite girls and that's to nvr wear midis cause they make you look shorter. But after trying it out, I've realised that it really depends on the length. Petite girls can look equally nice in a midi and rock it if it's the perfect length!

Recently, blogshops have been launching midis at a slightly shorter length, around 23-24" and that's really awesome cause it's the perfect length for a midi for my height! (: In fact, eyeing on the TCL one launching tmr hehe. Shopping ban fail.

When putting tgt this outfit, I wanted to dress up and look a little more mature. I guess it's cause the midi is in forest green which is a little more work ish. Paired it with a basic blouse (which Zara is having a sale for it now btw) and my trusty espadrilles and I was good to go!

Photos of some of my favourite ppl even though I only see them a few times a year! June hols has been a blast for me cause I spent almost everyday going out and catching up with my dear friends. Even though some ppl might think I'm wasting my time cause I should be studying and what not, just want to say that quality time spent with my friends mean the world to me and there's much more to life than studying. I'm sure all of us just want to be happy!

Easter Bunny

And the bunny went hop hop.

This is actually the very first midi I got but only wore it out a few days ago! I wonder why too cause it's just so lovely! I absolutely adore the poofiness of this skirt and it really reminds me of a ballerina's tutu. I felt rather princess ish the whole day in this skirt and believe it or not but all I wanted to do was to hop around and spin in circles haha!

Decided to pair it with this blouse which I've previously blogged about here(: It's one of my favourite because of the collar detail. Makes it look really preppy. I've also decided to use this headband cause the colour matches the blouse really well and just when I was thinking about what bag to use, I came across this bunny bag which was hidden deep in my wardrobe hahaha.

Oh yeah! Stay tuned for a post on the Phantom Joker Escape Room soon!
