'Vintage me' series - uni and party all the same...


I was in my 1st year of uni, taking a trip to East Coast Singapore. I wore my hair long at the time, finally got it past my shoulder at least once in my life. But I'd soon realized long hair didn't suit me. Since then, I'm always spotted with short hairdo.

Year 1, a few days later the day I first came to Singapore. Taken with Annie (Tuyet Den's author! *hint, hint*) at Orchard Road, in front of Takashimaya Shopping Centre. It was the 3rd time I'd gone to Orchard. And believe it or not? Annie, Tracy and I had gone there real early. I still remember we'd left NUS by 8am and reached Orchard at about 930am. The shops hadn't even opened yet. So we went around and took pictures. The camera was a very lousy mechanical one which Tracy had won in some bazaar. The photos came out so dark that they looked like we'd taken them after the sunset even it was all sunny at the time. Anyway, we had real fun then.

This was taken at Jurong Bird Park (Singapore). In year 2. I must admit I looked very demure myself. Maybe it was because I was with my dad that time. My weight was like 47 -48 kgs at that time. Sigh... How long will it take me to come back to this weight? No, I'm not obsessed with my weight. It's just that I can't stand how I always feel all the times now.

Year 2, sem 2. With Tracy. We looked so much different then. Time flies, people change. For the better or worse, I don't know. But I'm doing what I've chosen myself. Again, let time speak itself.

My convocation. With Ha, a very good friend of mine. Life after uni has gone on but our friendship's still going strong. Thank you, my dear friend for all the time we've spent together and I hope we'll have more wonderful moments in the future (GSS, remember? Hheheh!!!)

Ooh!!! I'm shopping and I'm at home!!!

Yes! I'm talking about online shopping! After a year, now this shopping hobby is re-surfacing!

It's so damn easy. Just browse the websites, i.e. VS, OPI, Drugstore, etc. Then click to order. Next is typing my CC number. Click again. There I go! Wait for purchases being shipped back to my address. Well, that's nothing new and it's not happening! As a shopaholic, I want discount and want to save shipping cost which I have to order a big amount of goods in order to get. Hmm, what should I do?

I join spree! And together with me, Tracy joins as well. Since yesterday, we have ordered from OPI and VS, spent nearly $100. And we felt so happy. Because we think we will have to buy OPI sooner or later and if we buy at the shop in Vietnam, we have to pay double the price we get to pay online. For VS stuff, I have to say, we could buy its products just for no reason. I'm a VS girl through and through.

Spent $100 but we've got some discount which would only apply if we ordered $150 - 250. That's the beauty of this spree thingy. Also, because we share with other people, the shipping cost is lower which helps us to feel less guilty! But the spreeing speed is so fast! It's open in the morning and the next thing I know, it's close at night as people all queue up for order and payment! Spree for VS is usually capped at 250USD and no matter how many sprees are open, they are closed as quickly. Scary and exciting at the same time! I'd missed 4 batches before I managed to place mine this afternoon!

Now it's waiting time!!!
