It's still on my mind though. It has always been!
I have only 4 brands of perfumes right now, and I rarely use them. And so I reckon, adding Eternity Moment to my collection, would be equivalent to placing it on the shelf, collecting dust. Which also means I have one more item to clean. Haha.
But I seriously love the scent!
Dilemma, dilemma.
~ Isabella Rossellini's Manifesto ~
My first ever perfume, given by Aunt Joyce on my birthday.
It smells really elegant, and so I only use it for special occasion like classy dates, events, interviews or project presentations.
It's almost used up and I've been searching high and low for it.
My bestie Kerlyn, told me that she saw it at Isetan, but I never found it. Frustrated!
And not to mention, the packaging is pure love! It's white, with a green stripe down the middle.
Simplicity!
~ Burberry Brit ~
I lusted for this perfume for quite some time, and mentioned it to my bestie CS, that I was gonna get it soon.
Being the sweetie he is, he surprised me by sending it to my house as a Christmas present!
I could never forget the shock I got when I opened up the wrapping. I was choked with emotion!
It's really sweet smelling, and so I use it when I'm feeling all girly girly, or on great nights out with my girlfriends.
Sometimes I use it on dates too. To give the impression that I'm really sweet. Wahaha!
~ Inis Arose ~
This is given by Aunt Elaine, when she got back from
It has a really special scent, so I use it on days when I wanna feel different from the crowd, or simply when I feel tropical.
I absolutely adore the bottle. So chic!
~ Body Shop Perfume ~
A gift from my lovely Cheryl.
I love it cos I can mix and match them, to create different scents. And not to mention, I can bring it out with me even when I'm using a really small bag!
It's mostly half used, and my favourite among them is Chymara. It has a musky scent which makes me feel empowered.
So yeah, I'm seriously considering if I should get Eternity Moment. The scent is really light and feminine, so most likely I'll use it for school.
And since we're on perfumes, I just wanna say that I don't believe in having my own signature scent.
Though it is good, as people will always be reminded of you when they smell that scent, but I'm too temperamental to stick to only one scent!
Haha.
This is what happens when we're bombarded with too many choices!

La vie est Belle <> |
I walk around barefooted in my house back in
When I was doing home stay with the Maglizza's, the room I lived in had furry, cream coloured carpet. The kind you see on animal skin rug. Yet, you walk around with your shoes on.
Currently in the student house I'm living in, the room is also carpeted, but with the normal office kind. And you walk around with your shoes on too.
Until yesterday, my feet are finally freed!
The sensation of my feet touching solid ground is indescribable. The feeling of smooth wood and cold tiles against my bare feet is just total bliss!
Having been cooped in footwear most of the time, my feet seems to have lost some sense. So for once, I actually feel weird walking around barefooted, and had a teetered kind of walk.
So if you want to know how it feels, go ahead and walk around with your shoes on for a month, only taking them off when you bath and sleep. Then take them off one fine day, and walk around on solid ground. It just feels different.
Or maybe it's just me. I could be a little too sensitive.

And as usual, we had steamboat. It is a really common way of dining at home. We have it during Chinese New Year, sometimes during Mother's Day, and whatever festive days we can think of.
But I love it! And I'm one of those who always had second round. Hee.
So while everyone was busy prepping the food, I was busy packing my things. And it's REALLY messy. I had such a hard time trying to think of what to bring, and what not to.
And of course, how can I ever forget my collection of bags and shoes?
And finally, this is what my completed load looks like...
I was reminded by the adults to bring along any medicine I'm taking, and my Gramp even gave me this Chinese pills, which you take when you have a really "upset" stomach.
I'm extremely prone to having sore throat, diarrhoea and girly pain. The weirdest thing is that I have an allergy towards a certain kind of sore throat medicine, which turns my lips into "sausage lips". Yet I have no idea which exact medicine is it that I'm allergic to.
And because I'm a pea brained person, I forgot to bring along the all important multi-purpose wonder drug, Panadol! I only came to realize that, when I fell sick on the second week I arrived in
So anyway, here's something fascinating. At least it is, to me. Haha.
The Aussie notes, have different human faces on every one of them, and on every side of them. Not like our
And here's my darling brother, with my bunch of cutesy male cousins, all crammed in a corner watching King Kong! Aww... I'm missing them!
And of course, I'm missing you guys too. My lovely peeps.

All about |
: elise : |
Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)
but Master of none.
(trying to!)
This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.
A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.
I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.
So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
