lolcats

during the trip to paris, i realised alot of my friends didnt read lolcats aka icanhascheezburger.com

so ppl, this is lolcats!

warning: the broken english kinda grows onto you and you may start using it =p

stuff i bought in paris n london

i think the guys are gonna take a super long time to upload the pics into facebook, so i'll just show u the stuff i bought 1st :D

actually i didnt buy many thing in paris. most of the money went towards food and tickets. even then, by the 2nd last day, most of us were very broke.


clockwise from the top left corner: tickets to versailles n disneyland, mini eiffel tower, tinkerbell brooch, candy, paris disneyland top, and disneyland keychain.


the super ticket. i forgot how much this cost, but it was a 5 day pass and it was super worth it because it enabled us to use the paris trains. without this ticket, we would have spent a small fortune on transport alone!


another top i bought at disneyland.
stella bought the same top. couple t-shirts! lol! (shaun are you jealous? =p)

i love it because the mickey is so subtle but still clearly present :D


actually i didnt buy this, but i got it from the white elephant gift exchange that we played in paris.

at 1st, i thought it was just the eiffel and i wasnt really impressed, but i discovered that it could open! and the heavens opened. wtf
now i think its GREAT :D


i know the title says 'stuff i bought in paris n london', but i didnt buy these.

they were gifts from 2 very special ppl :D

the necklace on the left is from caroline. its 2 hearts. super bling. i love it coz its the kind of necklace that i admire on ppl but nvr buy it myself coz im scared by the bling-ness of it. but now that she bought it for me, its mine and i shall not fear! wtf


the necklace stella bought me is a locket!
i love lockets!

actually i love trinkets which have interesting details to them. *sigh* stella knows me too well.

now we shall move on to the stuff i bought in london!

i bought something from harrods! but i shall save that for last ;)

after coming back from paris, i spent 2 nights at stella's place in order to hang out longer with lodgians (coz i <3 lodgians :D) and also to do some belated boxing day shopping.

we made our way from one end of oxford street to the other. i shall post up the stuff i bought according to shop.


esprit
left: $9.99 (originally $19)
right: $16.99 (originally $25)

btw, everything is in pounds ofcourse.


topshop
$15.30 (10% student discount)

technically this wasnt on sale, but i loved it too much =p


love the paperbag too =p


zara
$14.99 (originally $24.99)
100% cotton which beats acryllic hands down in terms of warmth.


i especially love the pockets :D


uniqlo
turtleneck: $29.99 (originally $49.99)
tights: $2.99

i wasnt sure whether to buy the patterned tights or plain black ones. in the end i got the patterned ones (as u can see) coz they were more interesting and i already had opaque tights.


$29.99 may sound expensive, but for 100% cashmere, its pretty cheap! (or so i was told coz i dun usually buy cashmere)


i also got this from uniqlo.
$3 (originally $7.99)

its sort of thermal!
it says 'heat tech'. and the packet the top came in says that it collects water vapour from my body and turns it to heat o.0

i wore it today and i didnt feel all that warm, but joshua told me that im supposed to wear thermal clothes with something over it in order for the thermal properties to take effect. so i'll try that nxt time!

remember the harrods bag?
wanna know what was in it?

here's a hint:


its a kinda obvious hint.

i loved it the moment i saw it, but i was scared away by the price. but the fact that it was on 30% sale kinda toned down the scariness a notch.


ta da!!!


see the ribbon? it has 2 colours, the underside is gold :D


honestly, as pretty as this medallion is, the weight of it kinda annoys me. wtf

like when i put my bag upright, the medallion part sags down :(
but it looks very gorgeous when carried :D


someone told me that the words on the bag dont make sense.
but i beg to differ.

put a fullstop after "liked stuff", and the sentence will make sense ;)


even the back is damn pretty!!!

but for $116, it had better be!

i checked the juicy couture website and they were selling it for $225 american dollars, which converted would be $155.152 GBP. so i guess $116 is not bad! :D

thanks a million to bernie for paying for it 1st. coz i bought it b4 the paris trip n didnt have enough money at that time. but i've already paid him back, so the bag is all mine!

i realise that its uber expensive and i dont usually even think of buying branded things because they are so over-priced, but since im now earning my own money and last month i earned $483, i think i deserve a little splurge :D

i paid for it via hours spent working in subway! so dont anybody say anything bad. yes cherie, have u gotten over your horror of the price?

in london again

im back in uk!
but im now in london. going back to oxford tomorrrow.

totally spent a bomb :S
but im happy :D

gonna start working again to earn all that money back!

damn, i miss hanging out with lodgians. i bet we all felt the same ;)

the trip was great fun despite the freezing cold. every time a breeze blew, i shivered to my bones. and the breeze blew pretty often! and i was wearing several layers including a knit and a coat summore!

oh ya, i bought a super nice bag. its the most expensive thing i've ever bought! (digital stuff like camera n laptop not included because those are different) but its ok, because i bought it with my own money which i earned through my own work *proud*
i'll blog more about it later when im home.

pictures from paris will be up as soon as i get them from the ppl who brought cams! i brought my cam, but i think im too spoilt by dgmb-ians and let other ppl take pics instead of taking my own pics =p

so expect loads of pics :D

btw, in case u still dont know, i went to PARIS :D

wagamama

i really like this set of pics, the lighting at wagamama was awesome!

there was a queue at wagamama, but nothing as long as the usual queue for jamie's italian. luckily we didnt have to wait long before e were seated and they gave us menus while we were waiting outside so that we could make up our minds and not waste time later.


lefties

jonathan is left handed too! :D


the ambience.

tables are set in long rows, canteen style. not exactly easy to climb into our seats since it isnt individual chairs but long benches, but other than that, i have no complaints =p


menu


another menu


i soooo love the lighting :D
makes my skin look so nice. hahahaha~


our drinks


jons food

i forgot what he ordered, but after all the hype that is wagamama, we expected something more snazzy and less char mee looking =p


my plum wine!
i likey coz it was sweet unlike most bitter alcohol =p


my chicken katsu

now this is snazzy! LOL~
i especially liked the sauce and we all agreed that this dish was the best of those we ordered (firdaus ordered the same thing).


false eyelashes really do pop :S


carolines super big bowl or ramen.

im tempted to order this nxt time coz the salmon looked really good :D


dessert!

we ordered 2 cake to share. the one on top is a chocolate brownie.


this is cheesecake!

we preferred this one =p


then i visited the loo and camwhored there also. wtf


even the lighting in the toilet is good. lol~




the toilet bowl was behind me. wtf


i hung my bag on the hook in the door and put my handphone halfway in my bag to utilize the self-timer function =p


after dinner, we adjourned to copa for drinks


but i didnt drink anymore after my plum wine, i just had cranberry juice =p


firdaus the camera-shy


the only 2 who drank =p


mr. just be friends

i like his shirt! wonder where he got it... should get one for shaun. haha~


if i had photoshop, i would soo get rid of that eyebag.


and that one too. wtf


wine bottle that the previous patrons had but wasnt cleared away.


if u wink one eye and stick ur tongue out, should it be towards the closed eye...


or the open one?

are there rules for this???


then i came home and camwhored summore because im bimbotic like that -_-"

have i mentioned how much i love my coat? =p


and i love this sweater dress/top too!




wannabe fierce look


scared or not? wtf

ass so big, boobs so small. fail. HAHAHAHAHHAHA~
omg, im such an embarassing person.


i had a little fall on the way back.


luckily my mum knows wad a klutz i am and prepared me a mini 1st aid kit.


but this time it was just a small cut, so i didnt need all those bandages and dressings. a dab of savlon would do the trick.


and ta da! im right as rain. wtf
