Chapter 8: The Assembly Ground Visit

Danetelle says; 

Always keep in mind, things in your life is never coincidental. Everything happen for a reason. Never greed, never envy; and treasure what you have. For the more you want to grab; you may lose what precious you already have.

Decided to meet my best friend today. Work may have tied us down and commitments may have absorbed us, we still squeezed time to see each other today. *HAPPY*

Was madly perspiring but short after my bus came.

Met for lunch today and we chose the Assembly Ground.

Ambience isn't too bad; Food available definitely is not disappointing. (I promised to get a better camera soon. Pardon my non-HD pictures due to the bad lightings.)

Simple alignments of the tables and chairs. 

For bigger groups.

Just guess which cake caught our attention?

Definitely the Rainbow Cake ($8.90) took our hearts at first sight.

It wasn't very crowded when we visited earlier which I was pretty surprised since today is Saturday; and they surprised me further with the food speedily served shortly after we ordered. *CONFETTIS* 

Gotten the Pulled Pork Pizza ($18.00), Rosti Omelette ($14.50), Green Tea Latte & Hot Chocolate (both at $5.50 each)

Pulled Pork Pizza.

Before we start, a picture with the yums~!

We were not really expecting the food to taste "that" good since they were served so quickly. Surprise surprise! Albeit a good 10 minutes of photo taking before we start to dig in, the course are still warm enough. What's more it is super delicious.

V sure like the Pizza too. :>

Requested our dessert to be served after we efficiently settled the mains.

Mandatory shot before starting. 

It makes me happy even just looking at it.

It is pretty early till our movie. Went for some shopping of course. Before that V and I decided to for some modelling. (Kekekeke)

I think she is talented, effortlessly pretty. 

She said she doesn't like this, but I find her so pretty her too.

My outfit : The Closet Lover Far Far Away Floral Dress

Took numerous selfies/wefies on the way too. Haha. Shopping is always fun when your best friend is around.

Accompany V for some Hat shopping and I caught one similar to my dress today.

Can't help taking a selfie with it.

V decided to join me when we saw the full length mirrors.

Roam around town today basically, at a pace so slow, you can actually look at things around so cleary. Feeling so blessed and happy even when I didn't manage to get anything shopping the whole day. Sometimes happiness can just come so easily. A kind of blessing that money could not even buy.

Went on to do something we haven't done for so long --- Our favourite Past-time; Neo-prints.

The outcome was pretty satisfying. (^.^)

Went to get some hand food as our Dinner and headed for our last schedule for today.

Secretly took V when she was waiting for me when we visited the restroom and off to our movies to end our day. 

To my dearest V;

Many times, people says Friends come and go. What I believe in differs from what I often hear. I believe in friendship, it takes 2 hands to clap to. We may be really busy in life, but we should never forget the one that supports you, listens to you, advises you, laughed with you, cried with you besides your closest family, would be your friend. I am really thankful to have known you V. We went through all the ups and downs together. Thank you for being there for me, believing me and remembering me despite being so busy in your life. Cheers for our friendship. I am thankful that you kept the fire of our friendship burning as much as I wanted to keep it. (^.^)

Being grateful is something often people tend to forget. If you can relate, start treasuring and thank the special one for being there for you today.

Off for the movie.

Till the next.

XOXO

Chapter 6: The Stage Walk Warehouse Sales + DecemberXVII Launch Party.

Just exactly last week, I was really excited to visit one of my preferred online webstore, which has been newly situated at the Lion Building, next to MacPherson MRT, for their warehouse sale.

That's right, its The Stage Walk! www.thestagewalk.com

Some brief introduction to The Stage Walk (TSW). It was founded by owner Jamie Low ( http://jamie-low.blogspot.com) since June 2008, TSW is an online fashion retailer based in Singapore. They do have retail racks in Kiss Jane Bugis and Vivocity, that is shoppers-friendly for people that need to grab and urgent piece off the shelf. 

The best thing I felt that was important about online webstore is the brand have their own self-manufactured designs. TSW did not disappoint me in this factor. Their quality for the self-manufactured pieces I have so far are really great. Designs are pretty brightly coloured too.

Besides that, TSW offers a point system programme, which works like rebates to customers, which I felt that they are pretty clever to grab loyalty customer with this. They are pretty generous in terms of their points rewarding deadline, as you can keep your points for as long as 1 year before it actually expire. :>

Also, they give very clear and detailed information about their back order items, which could be checked via the back order tab.

Lastly, whenever you have enquires with regards to the item or exchange, TSW do give very prompt respond whenever they could. I had direct experience before, and it was really splendid, which left a great impression of them since.

Decided to bring one of my girl-friend, whom happen to be my best friend too, along for this event and the first person I thought of is YB. Due to earlier experiences with YB in other warehouse sales, we decided to be early on the day. 

We met up around 9-ish and headed straight down to the location. We brought our breakfast along of course and we were the 3-4th in line when we reached. 

早起的鸟儿有虫吃。Because we didn't win the VIP passes we need to do it the traditional way, that is to come early.

Just when we are about to enter the venue, we met a familiar face - FA, our secondary classmate. <3

 It must be her lucky day, 2 minutes of chatting the door opened and we entered together. :>

Yes yes, we were very busy shopping, but I still bother Yanbing to take a picture for me while I am choosing my loots. It took us about 1 hour or so, go through each racks for about 4-5 times. The sale venue is considered small, given that the location is actually at their actual office, but it was sufficient of us to go crazy over their stuffs.

Finally, got to meet the super friendly and kind founder of the Label, Jamie Low, before we sign off.

Mandatory Selfie with the Sales Board.

and our Loots. Everyone is happy. Keke.

While FA headed home straight after her purchase, YB and I continue the day with our plans.

We were intending to go for our fellow friend Label launch, at The Co - 75 High Street for Fashion In A City event . As we are early, we headed to Plaza Singapura for chill and tidy our loots before heading down. Whilst we are at the washroom to freshen ourselves, I tried on the shift dress Yanbing bought from TSW. I was never a fan of shift dresses because of my big hips, this dress sort of shaken my idea of Shift-Dress-Denial Syndrome.

Should I even start investing on shift dresses?

After getting Lunch for our fellow friend Kym, we headed down to support her at the event - December XVII ( http://www.decemberxvii.com/ ) 

Spot the busy boss.

Met Jasmine the model for the home-coming Love Bonito. She is so sleek I look like a giant beside her.

Me and YB while waiting.

Finally a selfie with the boss. 

After the models are gone, we took the stage. Muahahaha.

Decided to help Kym pack after her event. Since it was still early, YB and I decided to go for proper OOTD shots outdoor.

Some of favourite shots. I just simple like colors. Credits to my super friend YB. :)

And this 2 are my top likes for what I took for her. She is so gorgeous right. :D

Basically have a really great time with her the whole day. Can't wait to meet her again.

One final picture before we start packing. Haha.

We started packing and we were pretty absorbed then, before soon we were done, exhausted.

Headed to Raffles City for the intended short break before we call it a day, but ended up too happily engrossed with chit-chats here and there we only gone home after 11pm. :X

Nonetheless is a day well-spent. ^^

Girls shot

Friends are easier said than done, always. Here is 2 pairs of BFFs for 10 years and counting.

I always believe, true friends never come easy. It takes 2 willing party to dedicate time and effort in maintaining one great friendship. Hence I really treasure every moment when I am with them. Especially when we get so busy these days, meeting them really take a lot effort and time. I am so glad whenever I wish to meet them they will be there. So loved.

Well. Till my next post.

Signing off,

XOXO
