    For The First Hour, The Second, And Thereafter.


    Okay, as promised! I have done a little hourly, photo journalling post today! This is something that I have been wanting to do since a long, long time ago; after Rebecca, of The Clothes Horse did something similar on her blog, which I thought I could try out and share a part of myself with you(:



    0700
    GOOD MORNING; like always, I always have my sandwich on the car; I love my breakfast today, THANKS MOM! I'm loving turkey breast ham more than tuna fillings now(:



    0800
    I've arrived like; an hour early, sitting in the internet cafe; FACEBOOKING, TWEETING, and blog hopping(:



    0900
    Off to project consultation in the library; my group is doing a research on Tourism Tasmania; it's my final year! And after this; off to College! Feeling a sense of apprehension;



    1000
    Except for Rachel, who has a purple bracelet, the 5 of us, have some sort of blue in our outfits today! A total coincidence(:



    1100
    In the Business Communication class; we're learning about resumes, and cover letters; which reminds me, I actually have an assignment due next Monday!



    1200
    Waiting for our bus; to bring us to town; located just right of the bus stop is an actual railway track! I love, truly love, how photos taken by the railway tracks turn out(: So obviously, this is my favorite picture today; I like how it looks so rustic; with the semi withered tree in the background.



    1300
    Here we are, at LITTLE INDIA, one of the tourist attractions in Singapore! We do not come to this part of Singapore usually; but we have a Retail Marketing assignment to do at one of the biggest discount department stores located in Little India(:



    1400
    LUNCH TIME! One of my favorite Indian food; MURTABAK(:
    It is made of flour, and inside, it is filled with sliced chicken, chopped onions and curry sauce; It is almost like the Mexican, quesadilla!



    1500
    Went over to Mustafa, THE popular discount store (which I was talking about!) where they sell almost everything you can dream of; and I thought I could share Singapore's iconic symbol, the Merlion, an imaginary hybrid of half lion, half fish.



    1600
    From left, Shirley, Melody & Audrey; A huge spring in their step(:



    1700
    At a bus interchange; waiting for our bus; not sure about where you're coming from; but Singapore has got single, and double decker buses; which were so much fun; especially when you're a kid!



    1800
    Happened to see Sin Eng and Carmen at Macdonald's and they were with their lovely kids; Naomi and Elijah(: I just love, LOVE, snapping photos of children; playing and seeing their laughters just make you forget everything else!



    1900
    And that's the end of my day(: It was wonderful, with my darlings; doing some things that we won't usually do, and of course; this hourly, photo journalling was so much fun! I truly felt so much like a tourist, snapping the whole way; even at school!(:

    Hope you've had as much fun reading this post, as I had, doing it; and of course; at the same time, get to know a little more about Singapore and one of the many ethnic cultures we have in this cosmopolitan city!



    Right now at 0012;
    I'm missing a certain someone; wearing blue toooo(: *shy*


    Love,



    Going the super casual, on a holiday, look again(:

    A Peek Into Anna's (Or Grace's) September Issue



    Caught The September Issue a couple of days ago; and it was beyond, awesome! It was great, to have the chance to have an exclusive peek; into the life, of the woman who single handedly, took charge, of the fashion industry.

    But of course, what was even better, was the chance to see how things WORKED, in Vogue(: The closet; the sheer number of clothes, and shoes, and stuff spilling out are just to die for; it's like, only at Vogue, it does not seem frivolous to be extravagant- or, there isn't such a thing, as being tooo, extravagant.



    But what truly captures my attention in this documentary was Grace Coddington; She's such an amazing woman; with a STRONG personality (that's probably an understatement, considering how she stood up for herself against Anna!) She's got both beauty and brains; and she's extremely witty. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that she's BRILLIANT, to think of using the production crew in the Colorblocking photo shoot!



    However I have to agree with what Anna's daughter, Bee Shaffer had to say about the industry; fashion is meant to be fun, and an expression of who you are; but some people are just; copying straight out from the pages of Vogue; which in fact, isn't very stylish at all. Sure, you may be fashionable, but if I were to take Vogue away from the person, what would he or she do?!

    Now, that's a food for thought.

    To end off; I was very inspired after the movie, to do something, Vogue-ish, and so, I was very hard pressed, to take a picture, in front of this beautiful, cobble stoned wall; (who cares if Anna might just have a heart attack if she were to see me, hah!)



    I was in a very casual, and very blue mood, that day;

    Shirt; Tommy Hilfiger
    Shorts; Cotton On
    Heels; Prima Vera (They're Esther's! And they're just so cute!)
    Bag; Mulberry


    Okay, I'm off to tidying up my room; after which; I'll be having a bumper post; filled with some of my favorite buys from Taipei!


    Love ya!
