Loving life.

Life's been really good to me lately,
I've been feeling contentment in my daily life and nothing beats the feeling of serenity.
I realise that sometimes being busy isn't all that bad,
BUSY > BORING anytime for me.
At least for me,
I'm doing what I love as compared to being stuck in a dreary, daily grind of routine office work.

With proper time management,
(and the hiring of one more TTR minion)
me and Sissy are starting to find some free time on our hands to spend with friends and family.
And also doing random things like baking,
which is our common hobby!
More about baking on another entry,
but I'm gonna blog about my rather happening pre-weekend which just passed.


Met one of my favourite group of girls for dinner at Mandarin Gallery last Thursday!
:)




Wore the Coloured Poppies Romper in cream!
;)
Psst, launching this tomorrow!


We were supposed to go to Wild Honey,
but their lack of service and apathetic attitude towards customers turned us off.
Other options like Ippudo and Antoinette were too crowded,
so we found ourselves at Ma Maison Tonkatsu!








Didn't know what to order since it was everyone's first time there...
So I settled for this which has a combination of fried prawn, pork loin and pork fillet!
Turns out I prefer the pork loin most out of all.
Hehe.










Weird grated white radish which I didn't try at all.
LOL.


My set which looks sinfully yummy!
LOVEEEEE the tartar mayo sauce which comes with it!!!
Finished the entire small saucer of it.
Hahaha.
Fat X 2!


Had a choice between normal white rice and multigrain rice,
and I went for the healthier option hehehe.


The miso soup which came with the set is really good too!
Everyone had second rounds of it! :)
Oh yes, the rice and miso soup is refillable so it's good if you're REALLY hungry.
Hahaha.
For $25.80 I would say this is really value for money!
:)))

Going back again for sure!


Nancy's Katsudon which I stole a few bites of,
super niceeeeee also omgggg.




And a mandatory group photo, courtesy of Yina!
:)

It was great catching up with everyone especially since it was a long time from the last time we met..
It's not easy trying to coordinate everyone's schedule and it can be really frustrating at times.
So, thank you thank you Wendy for organising always!

And times like this I miss my good friend Steph even more than usual!
:'(
Come back soon!
Miss you too much!


The plan on Friday was to head out to do manicures!
It was one of those days which I simply couldn't decide on anything to wear.
Everything I tried on just seems...
URGHHHH.

A wardrobe bursting with clothes but nothing to wear.
;(

Speaking of which,
I need to embark on project 'save Joyce's wardrobe'!
Either will be posting a selling video or photos on my blog soon!




When in doubt, always go for the fishtail skirt.
Hahahaha.
Paired with one of my favourite tops!
This was the original piece which inspired the Lovely as Primrose Top, if you remember!
;)


Got our favourite milk tea from the basement shop at FEP!
:)))
I'm such a milk tea addict.
I have to have milk tea at least once everyday.
No matter in what form,
teh peng, pokka milk tea, lipton instant milk tea, koi milk tea, random bubble tea shop milk tea.
You get the drift!


LOOK. AT. MY. HORRIBLE. NAILS.
I am so terribly lazy when it comes to nails.
Hahaha.
I will usually them to peel off by themselves every time I apply.
So unhealthy for the nails, I know!


As usual, scouting around for shops to do our nails at!
There're so many shops on level 5 and it was a tough decision to pick...
Didn't want to go back to the shop which I did my previous gellish at because I felt it was too expensive.
And the manicurist didn't really do a very good job for the amount I paid.


This time, I remembered to take a photo of the shop I went to!
The last time I didn't and quite a few people asked me.
Hahah.

And I'm loving the service I got at Autumn Nail Spa so I'm strongly recommending it to you!
:)
Not an advertorial or anything or the sort.


The toughest part of doing a manicure:
Deciding on the colours and design.

For gellish, one colour is $20 (if I recall correctly).
I wanted to do designs so it was $55 ($35 for artwork).




Spot my photobombing face.
Hahahaha.






Meet my manicure buddies!
:D :D :D




AND DENG1 DENG1 DENG1 DENG4!
After an hour and a half or so...
Here's the finished product!


LOVING IT!
I think my manicurist is very talented omg.
She paid attention to the details and did not paint the flowers too uniformly,
and all I showed her was one blurry photo.
For like 5 seconds.


Sissy and Erica both did express manicures for $5 only!
:)))

Happening Friday was happening because after dropping Erica and Jess home,
we headed to Spize to meet the TTR peeps!




Le perfect couple #1.
Hahahahaha.


Le perfect couple #2!


Le not-so-perfect gay buddies.
LOL.
Seriously mind-boggling about how they can get into deep discussion about olden days kung fu movies and what-not.
Hahaha.




Jon with his roti john.
Hahaha.
It was actually a farewell supper for Jon before he leaves Singapore...
But I think we'll be seeing him again soon!
:)


We look so tired and sticky and messy but still,
LOVE ALL!
<3

Oh and our dearest Dings did a TTR vlog from our photoshoot last week!
Hehehe I think some of you watched it already though!
If you have not, here it is (in 2 parts):

Part 1

Part 2

Love Suan's part, mega sweet lor....
HEHE.
All done in the name of good fun so don't judge!
I look x10 awkward and don't sound like myself at all. Hahaha.
So not a vlog person!


Be good, everyone!
Will blog again really soon!
:)
