Collective Haul; November Edition

Finally got down to doing my Collective Haul Video :D But after I uploaded the video that I realized I forgot to feature my New Balance 574s :/ But then again I'm thinking of doing a Pairings video on how I'd pair my 574s. It won't come soon though, cause I gotta research and trial and error first :P

Instagram picture as promised on my OOTD previously wearing the woolen pleather sweater :D

And my Denim Parka hehehehe :P

Alrighty yo :) Hope you enjoyed my Collective Haul! Any questions (maybe the Running Man T) you can comment below or formspring me :D

Choosing to die; after thoughts

I have this knack for clicking on random videos on youtube. & this time I ended up watching a documentary on Euthanasia.

...

Sometimes we get caught up as we grow up, chasing material things that we think is going to make our life better. How much money we can accumulate; how many friends do we have; are we going to achieve anything in our lifetime. Its good to have aspirations yes, but I think we tend to lose sight of whats really important; to be thankful for all that we already have. At least right now I can say I am guilty of taking Life for granted.

I guess sometimes we forget that being alive, and healthy at best, is probably the biggest blessings of all. 

Shoot; MyCanvasBag

Hehehe went for my second photoshoot for blogshop yesterday after work; please don't judge my fats (~.~)

Presenting MyCanvasBag! :D

They have returned after a hiatus with a bang! 

My picks include:

Unicorn Bralet! I have always wanted to get a bralet but its hard to find a flattering piece if you are not exactly toned. This piece however accentuates the right parts and conceals the fats well! Much love for this piece!

Second pick would be the black highwaisted pants! Its not sheer at all and super comfy! And the best part is ITS SO SLIMMING! I was damn self conscious whilst modelling this piece but looking at it now.. not that bad right my thighs!!! LOLOLOL!! Pair it with the bralet and maybe throw on a woolen shrug, you're good to go for a night out partying :D

Peplum has been the trend for quite awhile now and I never thought I say this but I think I might just start shopping around for peplum pieces :x I always thought peplum would just make my butt look even bigger than it already is but nope, I actually like how girly and professional peplum makes the whole look :D

Zoukout 2011

&the 411 is: 

12:30 to 2, Porter Robinson; 

2 - 3, Knife Party;

3 - 4, A Trak;

4 - 5, Calvin Harris.

Those are the only acts that I am really looking out for :D

Take a trip down memory lane with me.. Zoukout 2011!

Last year's epic Zoukout was so epic I told myself I'd be going, no questions asked this year. I even went to the extent of booking Rasa Sentosa in April for the 8 December 2012 when Zouk itself haven't even released the date of the event. Little did I know Zouk outwitted me and made this year a 2 day event. 

Initially I wanted to boycott the event. I thought the line up wasn't worth paying for and I didn't like it that Zouk seems to be trying to milk as much money as they could out of us.

However, try as I might to resist, I am officially going for Zoukout 2012 :3 Although I am only going for Day 2 BUT SERIOUSLY I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT. I AM GOING ZOUKOUT 2012 SHOPPING AFTER WORK TODAY, GONNA GET THEM GLOSTICKS AND SHIT. SEE Y'ALL PARTY ANIMALS ON SATURDAY :D:D:D

Beijing; Visual Vomit

DAY ONE.

Forbidden City & Tian An Men.

The only thing worth eating in this restaurant, faking good shit that just melts in your mouth. Fattening, who gives!

DAY TWO.

Great Wall of China, Commune at the Great Wall & Ming Tombs.

Scaling the Great Wall; possibly one of the most physically challenging thing I've ever attempted. I could only make it through one mini teeny weeny segment before calling it quits. Imagine trying to walk up an impossibly steep stairs in the freezing cold, madness! But the scenery was well worth it :)

Descending from where I was wasn't a walk in the park either. This way isn't as taxing, but still packs a punch! 

Lunch was at this restaurant located at Commune by the Great Wall. I'd love to come back and stay here. Architectural wonder combined with just breath taking scenery is love.

Apologise for the lack of pictures at this place, I was too busy playing with snow :D

Honestly, I thought Ming Tomb was meh~

DAY THREE (F&E)

Decided to venture out on our own to the shopping areas :3

But prior to shopping, we stopped by the 798 Dashanzi Art District. I love the ambience here. It was so creative and individualistic. A far cry from any so-called "Art District' in Singapore, if there is even any. 

Beijing Zoo station. If "wholesale shopping" is what you're after, this is the place for you. Okay actually this shopping centre is shit to me, I didn't really like the stuff but there are tons of such shopping centers around so feel free to explore on your own :) Thats what we did.

Whilst waiting for the other 3 to arrive as traffic is PEK is rather mad!

...

Thats all of the photos I have in my camera. I was on an extremely tight schedule so I didn't really had the time to slowly take pictures and stuff. PLUS the weather was MAD COLD to me and I didn't really wanna take my gloves off and take pictures too. :S

I am usually a shopping kinda person; prior to this trip, if anyone were to suggest to me "hey lets go ____" and that destination is nothing but just scenery, I'd probably say no to him. But after this trip, I realized "WOW the world is soooooo beautiful" and how small are we!? 

So how was the trip? I'd say despite it being a country that isn't too popular with most  young Singaporeans, I really quite enjoyed it. :)) Would love to go back one day and really explore PEK. 

New Goals..

..doesn't have to be set in the New Year.

In case you are not on my FB, I saw this video yesterday night.

And really hits me that no matter how tough it is, I want to be a vegan. We don't need to consume meat to be healthy; we only do so to satisfy our palate. So why are we being so self-centred?

Small steps at a time, I am going to reduce the amount of meat intake.

So which pill will you choose? The red one? Or the blue one?
