finally got the braces removed.. it feels weird initially, like i've just inserted a fake set of tooth. but at the same time it feels awesome with no bands attached to your mouth. i have to go for another visit for the retainers(which i have to wear for one more year). so that equals to 2+ 1 year= 3 years torture for vanity sakes! awesome arh?
anyhoots, managed to catch baybeats last night! this year's seemed a whole lot more packed.i love the newly expanded nokia arena, great place to chill & listen music by the bay. i was looking forward to a few bands; radiohead-esque You & Whose Army? , Electrico who missed last year's but played their new stuff this time and Lucksmiths(though i didn't catch since it was getting late already).
we wanted to go around taking photos of people with awesome outfits but too chickened to approach.
it was raining earlier on but cleared by late evening. and the rainbow came out just in time perfectly !

sometimes i feel like a kid all over again- up to this day i'd still pick up my occasional childhood habits... like snacking, doing topsy turns, bugging my mom..
those habits are still alive within me despite being 19 already.
this is one of my favourite childhood snack which i still snack on up till this day. im glad it's still selling at 10 cents now. i remembered getting a whole lot and sharing them after school with friends.

If you've been following our blog, most of the photos were taken merely by our decent 5 megapixel canon ixus. it doesn't take great shots but we try to play around with the surrounding lighthing to get most of it. Recently, we've been extra extra patient with the camera because the battery was dying and the all-along existent crack on its screen was starting to irk us off.
We've been looking into DSLR cameras but they were too expensive for our liking. plus,wayyy too bulky. So finally after much consideration, we got the canon powershot G9. im particularly bius towards canon, if you were to ask me.
i've yet to get the housing; it sorts of adds a little vintage look to it. the adaptor is sort of optional but im loving the old school feel of it.
now i cant wait to play around with our new toy! but first i gotta' go read the manual :)

so how was everyone's national day? well, i paid a little visit to the national museum for a friend's brother performance. sad to say after being in Singapore for 19 years , it was my FIRST & ONLY time going there.. the place was just a 5 mins walk from Dhoby Ghaut MRT, it's beside SMU. so yeah, apparently there was an open house yesterday.
i think now im rather inspired to visit there again because there are so many cool history shits to be explored. but we didnt really had much time since we wanted to catch the fireworks .. still, i got to visit the fashion gallery which featured singapore's variety of clothes & textiles in retrospective.
gorgeous vintage piece of dress! i literally stared at it for sometime..
I didn't had much storage to take more pictures because my 1gb SD card wasn't with me but you guys totally gotta' check out the place! cool shit. i think they have free entries on fridays or something!
The fireworks display was AWESOME, but i had only one shot of it! HAH! okay, you guys have a good weekend! ciao..

what's in your purse? besides cash and cards, of course.. mine's a pretty tiny old battered purse so i don't put in as much things. but mainly essential stuff like lipbalm, hair accessories..
this is vintage. it was a souvenior from paris and i still love the battered feel of it.
im in love with balm in old tins like rosebud salve. it can be messy on your hands but it works wonders for the chapped lips!
some random hair scrunchy and cute hairclips.
oh haappy national to everyone! & have a good long weekend!

I haven't been updating much nowadays, but I hope you guys do check back once in a while. anyhows, the other day as i was cleaning out my rooom, i found a little joy of discovery. I managed to unearth a little piece of treasure from my mom's past. Before, i knew my mom had done a little sewing in her early days. But nowadays she hasn't been doing it anymore so it seems like a 'dying trait' i should acquire.
So, as i was digging out the cupboard, i re-found this vintage picnic basket bag :) I was so excited, in fact I'm already thinking of a picnic trip to bring them out!
I was even delighted when i saw the contents inside. It was the last remains of my mom's sewing- & for a moment I felt a flashback of my childhood days. I used to play with them when i was a kid, you know like they were the coolest things i could get my hands on!
there was a whole bag of buttons, some new and vintage ones. now i know i don't have to buy buttons anymore.
lots of embroderies, ribbons & vintage laces for clothes.
and this cool knitting kit which i remembered so clearly- i used to
play dentist with it when i was a kid. I would "victimized" my little sister to open up her mouth and pretend checking her teeth.
I found a very old book which was supposed to be mom's notes for her sewing stuff. the great thing was, i didn't knew she made her clothes from scratch! i've been dying to learn how to sew clothes rather than just modifying them...
there were really pretty vintage designs she kept in the book. perhaps dating from 70s onwards. im loving one of the military-inspired design .. 
and lastly, i found this at the back of the book.
everything was sooo familiar, the shoes, the hands and everything. & then i realized at the back of my mind, it was one of those childhood drawing i love to scribble ignorantly in mom's book. how cute right? it makes you reminiscence your childhood- how i miss them but still, i love how my childhood turned out :)
