are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

I've been busy and away from blogging, but recently I feel like I lost one of the best guy friends I've had since high school, and it is hurting my head and my heart too much. I know its quite pointless to feel this way since it is kinda impossible for things to go back to normal, so I turn to blogging about my happy days to just focus on the beautiful things in my life, and let these glitches fade. Call me an escapist, but so what? So what if I don't want to remember or face up to the things that make me sad. It is my choice, and right now I choose to do so.

On a much much happier note, I headed home to Singapore for a family friend's son's wedding and Chinese New Year, which is a really big thing for me. It meant a good excuse to go shopping while I was doing summer school in Sydney, and boy did I shop up a storm. I bought countless dresses and the shoes! Oh boy the shoes. Anyways I bought so much I was pretty damn excited to attend all the gatherings so I could dress up. Dressing up, is pretty much the highlight for me since I'm pretty casual most times!

The wedding, which was held at the Shangri-La was pretty. I mean, which weddings aren't right, with all them candles and flowers? Only thing that irked me was the seriously annoying emcee. Could have stabbed his eye out with my chopsticks if not for the fact that I didn't want to get blood on my dress. Because this dress, was a last minute message from the gods! Ok maybe not so much, but I bought it the day before my flight back, literally hours before. I walked by a shop and there was this screaming sign (SALE!) and I went in and spotted this baby, which I got at a total steaaaal:

Dress: Bracewell, Shoes: Wittner, Bag: Vintage Chanel Mini

What made this so perfect was that they matched those shoes I wore with them perfectly, which I bought at a Wittner sale for 80% off (O.P AU$250) about 2 weeks earlier! What did I say about a sign!! I accessorized with the sequined shoes, an elephant ring and my mother's baby/mini white lambskin Chanel. I had my hair done (at my trusted Kim Robinson in Ngee Ann City) and had fake eyelashes from Shu Uemura Lash bar put on, which is all the makeup I wore because I suck at applying anything other than eyeliner and lipgloss.

And the best part of the wedding was my whole family dressing up! I miss my siblings and my parents so much while I am away at Uni that it was such fun to crack jokes about the emcee and his horrible one liners with my brothers. And of course we all thought that we were the best looking family around besides the bride and groom's families.
