We celebrated Yeen's birthday by going to a theme park just outside central London. It was awesome. Stealth was the best ride out of all.





Time to sleep! I've got school early tomorrow. (: My throat is sore from screaming ):

You can't really tell from the photo, but I had another haircut! I wasn't planning on one, since I found the joys of cutting my own hair. Haha. It is quite fulfilling, and my frequent visits to the hairdressers have not gone to waste!

The reason for my haircut this time is that I was approached by a hairdresser who was training at Vidal Sassoon Academy and asked to be a 'hair model'. I was like sure! It only costs 12 pounds anyway, it's about SGD$27.77. Haha. I was very unsure when I first saw the cut, but after the styling, it looked alright. I've got to get used to it! It's really really really short. Maybe I should have named this blog ahairlullaby.livejournal.com instead. Haha.

If you want a description, It's prolly shorter than most guy's hair in Singapore. Except the fringe. I've got full on straight bangs. Like my previous haircuts. It's very short at the back. Very Very short. It's the shortest I've gone.

It's only this short because I told the guy I wanted to grow my hair out and didn't like the undercut, so he even out the length of the hair.

Oh yes! The haircut was FOUR hours long. Seriously. They were learning how to cut hair, so they had to get criticisms from the teacher during the process.

Special thanks to Yeen for waking up really early to company me and staying all the way through. (:

Few days ago I was on the way home from school, sitting on a bus, and right in front of me were two guys making out the whole time. ): Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against homosexuals, it was just uncomfortable. Haha. The bus ride was 45 minutes.

I loveeeee the female body. Haha. I love drawing it nude, and one day I'll photograph it nude. (:

I think the back and the neck are the sexiest parts of the female body.

Hi Nic!

I think I love you this much - dedicating a whole blog post to you cause it's your birthday. Haha. First of all, Happy birthday! I'll never ever forget how you were like the first time you first came to church. Strangely, I can't remember how we got acquainted. Anyhow, you've grown so much in the way you think, act and obviously you have grown (ALOT) spiritually.

No matter how far we are apart and how little time we spend together, I'll always remember how much you've sown into my life, encouraging me, blessing me, all the laughters.. (: Boy talks, lots of boy talks actually, shopping, eating, talking about life in general.. I miss you! And just fyi, this is not meant to be mushy, it's meant to be sweet! Hahaha.

I love you and you deserve to be queen for the day!

Fight Nic!

I went to Brick Lane today and I was blown awayyyyyyyyyyy! It's like fashion heaven. Hahaha. I have not explored every nook and cranny of Brick Lane but I was already very excited for what I have already seen. People who patronize Brick Lane are OTT (Over the top) and I LOVE it! This was one of the few finds from my trip there. I'm selling it on http://thecornerstore.sg so if you're interested, you can purchase it there.





I had lunch with Charlie and Yeen and DeeDee at My Old Dutch. They serve the best and biggest pancakes around. It's literally the size of a record. If ever any of you come to London and visit, I'll bring you there to eat breakkie, lunch and dinner. Hahahaha. I'll post a photo of the pancakes soon. I went to service with Yeen, DeeDee and Ian Lim.

Oh! It's daylight saving now in London, so the time difference between Singapore and London is 6 hours behind instead of 7. :D (Random) [Edit - I just found out the time difference is actually 8 hours now ): Forgot that time is pushed back by one hour here in London. ))))): triple sadness]

I've been busy with setting up the online store these days. I feel very blessed to have awesome friends and an awesome sister to be working with me on this project. (: Thank you to those who took your time to visit and advertise on your Facebook.

Another thing, I'm having second thoughts about doing fashion, I really want to do jewelry design too. Hahah. Any thoughts? I really need your opinion! Don't be shy to leave a comment or tell me in private. (: Thank you!

I'm tired, but still running on full! God's grace is amazing.

I just launched the online shop today! :D I'm so excited and I can't wait to see what this venture has in store for me.

This online shop has been an idea my sister (Mia Jessamine) and I (Pia Jacqueline) have always wanted to do. We only recently got around to acting on it and we could not have done it without the help of our friends. So thank you everyone who has played a part in making this business a success! (: Especially my old man. He's sort of acting as the producer and is definitely the organizer. I don't know what I'd do without him! Thank you so much (:

Enjoy Shopping!
Oh, You can find us on Facebook too. Just type 'The Corner Store' on the search engine!

I was in a hurry to get to school today and I forgot to put on any accessories! I was so tempted to head home to put on my necklace. Hahaha. I think I sound crazy. Oh. I forgot to bring my brolly too ): I was so worried that it was going to rain cause I had drizzles forming on my blackberry when I was walking to the bus stop. Thank goodness the weather forecast is reliable and help put my mind to ease. (:

Talked to my family on the phone just now. I miss them plenty! They're going to Borobudur, Indonesia, tomorrow and there will be so many photo opportunities! Jealoussssssss.

Anyway, I need to go get some rest. I have my first assessment tomorrow! Wish me luck!

p/s It's a wonder how one phone call can lift my spirits! :D

Inspiring & Beautiful.

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

I don't know if I should just let it be or delve into the past.

"If I could just see you,
Everything would be alright.
If I'd see you,
This darkness would turn to light."

Alice in Waterland by Elena Kalis













Priscilla shared a link with me, saying it reminded her of my Alice in Wonderland series. I absolutely loved the series! It's awesome beyond words. The concept, the subjects, the props, the processing, the clothes, the simplicity of the shots.. love it! I really need to try underwater shooting! And Pris, if you're reading this, Thank You! I will send you your love gift soon! My nice-ness ends here, btw.

This was my take on the Alice in Wonderland story.









I've posted up the whole series before, so I wont bother posting up everything.

London is treating me good! I really really miss all my friends and loved ones. Somebody come visit me? Haha. I have my assessments coming up next week. Wish me luck!

I'll post up some of his work soon! (:

Gotta get some rest! Plenty to do tomorrow. Still gotta shower and do the dishes after blogging.

I brought Taiger, my tigerette, out for a walk today! I really wanted to get some shots of the lights on the bridge just across my house. It's beautiful at night. People were fishing and enjoying the cold.









I think everyone is gonna see tons of DeeDee! Hahaha. Not only because she's beautiful but also because we're always together. Hahaha. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do if we didn't come to London together. (:

Gotta finish my project! Church service was awesome today, btw.

If you are a romantic at heart like me, you have to watch this!

I was walking down the stairs at the tube station today, which consisted of 175 steps and it came to me that it's just so much easier to go on walking down, rather than climbing all the way up. You may not know when you'll get there, but if you just keep going, eventually you'll get to your destination. If it's not obvious enough, I'm talking about this experience metaphorically.

On a lighter note...

“I think God leaves me alone to let me find my own strength because no one else can give it to me. Sometimes it is very lonely. But I know the lonely times teach me the most. I must let go in order to let anything in. No one can love me, for me.”

It's weird how we stumble across words which really applies to us at a certain time. You can call it coincidental, but I choose not to think so. God has a way of speaking into your life, it doesn't really matter how, but he will. (:

It can get pretty lonely here in London. I guess I still need to go out there and find more friends! Haha. It's a whole new world here. I love it, don't get me wrong, but it can get pretty lonely. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on so many things - How my friends are getting on, how my family is getting on, how church is getting on.. Mhhhhmmm. (:

I know God has a purpose for me here! Gotta fight!

p/s (Oh dear, I just spent the last hour and a half reading blogs & blogging. It's 2AM now. Time to bobo!)

Don't ask my why I decided to post all these photos of food! Good asian food here is hard to find and usually expensive. I miss Singapore Hawker Food! ):





















Last but not least, my favourite instant food in the world! Shin Noodles.



Right, now I've got to get back to writing my exhibition report.
