Weekends
Weekends mean so much more ever since I started working... Makes me wonder if adults have a life. I work the '9 to 5' job like any other OL, and I'm still striving to achieve a good work-life balance. It's so hard, when I have so many things I want to pick up such as sewing, improving on my uke, DIY my accessories.
But then, my work life makes me appreciate my weekends so much more. I go all out for good, clean, guilt-free fun with my friends after a week of hard work. I am blessed to have the same group of friends who has been and will be there for me through good and bad.
I'm back to my 'made up face' on weekends. I make a point to dress up and do switch my makeup a bit at least twice a week.
Virgin experience at Cold Stone! Gosh I must be really slow to not try those goodies earlier in my life.
Ordered Berry Berry Berry Good and yes, it is as awesome as its name suggests! So creamy, with fresh berries to tone down the sweetness and moist waffle to go with. Definitely going back for more.
Okay, back to Monday blues.

Poladroid
Can't afford a polaroid?
Try POLADROID! *cheers*
I recently discovered this little quirky application for my computer. It's basically a quick photo editing tool that transfers any digital photo into a polaroid one. It's simple and funny, free of course! All I had to do was drag and drop. Problem solved!
 |
| Look, it even shows your photo 'developing'! LOL |
 |
| Ta-dah! End product :) |
Download Poladroid for both Windows/ Mac HERE!
Have a great week everyone.

Internship
My 2-months internship started officially on Monday! It's such a sudden transitiOn from school to work that I'm still slowly adapting to this kind of lifestyle. It's not easy. I report at 10 and dismiss at 6.30pm, by then I'd be so worn out, especially when my body clock hasn't recovered for the better from exam week.
My working hours are reasonable and I am thankful. The hard part is surviving a day without crazy friends who would race Kartrider during lunch break, no taking of naps, no windows in my office to look out to.

For people who are interested to know my job scope...
Replying emails.
(This task drove me insane, I never hated replying emails so much in my entire life) CRAZY! The amount of emails coming in every few minutes is insane. There are all sorts of (annoying) customers who wouldn't reply to a given order format, who enquires about things that were already stated previously. Grrr.
Excel spread sheet.
Based on the emails, I had to record details of all customer orders on an excel sheet. I barely passed my DSS last semester with a D. Enough said. I'm so pathetic that boyfriend had to help do my work :(
On my second day of work, my bosses included me in for a meeting with some PR person. It was so interesting! I was entitled to try out so many bath and beauty products, my previously dry skin felt wonderful after sampling shampoos, stretch mark cream and lavender moisturizing lotion ^^
Marketing
I was officially given a project to work on. And that is, to market two brands. I'm required to come up with a marketing plan, present my proposal and execute it within 2 months. It's exciting, fun, and pressurizing at the same time. So guys, I really need your help!
-
Kindly assist me by doing this short survey! I hate to mention this over and over again, but it's really important! The marketing plan is no joke and if I fail....there goes my resume.
Here's the link. I PROMISE it will take less than 3 minutes.
Thank you in advance! I'll really appreciate your response.

Trying to find the air to breathe again
Hell week officially came to an end. I'm halfway through my Polytechnic education, and my 2-months internship is starting next week. Sometimes I wonder, why did God put me to a course where I can never excel in grades, where I never feel worthy or proud of my achievements. But I tell me self, the best has yet to come, the best had yet to come.
Trust. Breathe.

I haven't done a Lookbook post for so long, and today I just wanted to put myself together, plus the weather was perfect to even wear a leather jacket in Singapore! The dress is pretty but it gives me the most awkward moment whenever wind blows and the layers of chiffon just fly up above my knees. So embarrassing when it happens in public...
Trust. Breathe.
