Hi everyoneee!
Hows the week coming along? Mine had been busy, busy, busy!

I went for a haircut earlier this week.
Actually a small trim coz my bangs were getting incredibly long!

Wore my new green off shoulder top from FASHION EUPHORIA!
I [heart] off shoulder tops~



Decided to steam my dry, brittle hair.
I do my own hair mask on alternate weeks, but I condition and apply serum everyday.



Sometimes its becoz Im lazy, but I will always try to air dry my hair whenever I can.
Otherwise, its using the hairdryer and curling it with a tong everyday! Thats why my hair is so dry.
:(

Met my good friend for wanton mee in Parkway!



I like to eat wanton mee! Especially the ones with dark sauce and ketchup~
It reminds me of my childhood when my daddy will always buy it as breakfast on weekends.
:)



Oooh I loveeee fried wanton!



We ended up drinking teh in the foodcourt for 2 hours! Chit-chatting the day away.. it was great fun.Then I went home before it turned dark.

I cut my hair so short hor!



I was wearing my skinny jeans actually, but it was VERY HOT that day!
So I super tak boleh tahan~



Then still feeling very warm.. I tried to tie my hair! Quite fun to use my Japanese pink ribbon.
I got it from the 100yen shop when I went to Tokyo eons ago. U can get it from Daiso! :D



Feel so much better..!
Its absoluteeee fuss free hair... Great for bad hair days too!



Let u see PINK ribbon again okieee!



Another angle.
I pinned the tail inside so it looks 'bouncy'.



And then at night, we went for a movie.
:)

I used my new ribbon! I collect them becoz I use them on my bags, in my hair and tied to my clothes.



I had so much fun playing dress up today!
Have a greeeeeeat weekend girlies~ I have a full day tomorrow and a family dinner at night.
:D

Then its back to work work work!
I wish everyone to stay happy and healthy always.

Love,
elaine73

Hi everyoneeee!

Are u watching F1 this weekend~
I had a busy day today playing with babies and eating ALOT of dessert!
Oh god how am I going to lose weight when I can never resist the sight of sweet evil temptation.

I like my desserts hot or cold - not so much the cakes and chocolate kind, but the very traditional chinese ones where I can always eat two bowls at least.
More of that later!

First up.. I went to see baby today!
It was Kai Xin's 1st month party yesterday but I was held up by work so I couldnt make it for the luncheon.

My hair long alreaady... Poking my eyes everyday!



I tried to carry baby!!!
Usually I dun dare but this mummy has another kid so I think she doesnt mind if I dropped her second-born.
Hahahha kidding!



Baby obviously afraid of my drag queen/opera face/spider lashes.



Even when I tried distracting Kai Xin by making monkey faces.



So I return baby to mummy and disturb the other one!!!



I is bery sad nobody want to play with me but would very much rather see a talking cat faint.



Awwww.. kissing mei mei.



My cheeky Yue En running away from me when I tried to catch her for a picture.
I cant imagine her mummy used to go shopping with me and talk about makeup and clothes and now she has TWO kids!!!

I am GETTING old.



After successfully irritating the hell out of two little ones, we headed for a quick lunch!
I wore my new top from Amelie-Anne and it has a slight grecian touch to it!
Love it!



I had two servings of this.
But fruit is healthy!!! Right..?
:p



The lovely dress.
I wore it with my skinny dark jeans and a huge oversized maxi bag.



Then after we had to sprint to church.

We called this place the "HQ", where we brainstorm, have our meals and where most of the paperwork is done.

For those who follow this space, u would have seen how we left the old church to start a smaller, independent one with our pastor.
It was no mean feat, some 7 months back.

We had to rent a space to do worship and it was very scary not knowing if we could do it if the government did not approve of our newly registered church.
But thankfully everything seemed to work out in the end and right now we are looking forward to start everything anew with a brand new place!

It will be a proper church, and renovations start next month.
Everyone's so excited! Its like getting a new home!
:D

So back to where I was.
I actually have choir practice on Sundays, so usually thats how we spend the day.
Although I croak like a frog, my church members are very kind to me by allowing me to stand next to them and spoil all the songs.
Heh.

After hours of singing off-tune (me) - its time to relax and have dinner!!
Every Sunday is fellowship day where people will potluck and bring food to share with everyone.

My church is pretty small - so everyone's like family and we talk about everything under the sun.

Most of them are older (auntie uncle), they bring their children or grandchildren along and some of the younger ones bring their other halves along for dinner - so we all treat this time like like how we would at home!

Its kinda like Chinese New Year, except we do this every week.
:)

Someone super act busy..



But kena caught!
Watch too much F1 is like that one~



The generous home-made spread.



Giving thanks for the food on our table.



Becoz we have at least 20-30 people each time, we have to line up buffet style and take the food.



Digging in.



I ate 3 bowls of bo bo cha cha..!!!
I want to faint.



Sometimes at the end of the day, we just want to have a nice simple meal with great company and even if we all come from different walks of life - who is it to say that we cant get along and treat each other as one of us?

Dun we all come with nothing and leave with nothing?
:)

Take care everyone~
I need to go to bed now.

Its been quite a day with Hamilton being pushed off the track by Webber and seeing sparks under Schumacher, but the most dramatic act of the day has to be how Kovalainen simply asked for an extinguisher to put out the fire from his car!

I would have freaked out and run ten miles if I saw flames in my boot.
But then, Im no F1 driver hee.
:D

Bye bye loves and good night world.
Sleep tight everyone, dun let the bed bugs bite.



Special thanks to Amelie-Anne for their lovely dress as shown in pictures!



Its extremely easy to wear, long enough as a dress alone and not too long to match with skinny jeans.
Everyone here can simply quote "ELAINE_SUGAR_SWEET" for $1 off all items so do take a look girls!

Im eyeing some pretty frocks that I can wear to everywhere.
This is how it looks like from Amelia-Anne.



But I gave the belt a twist to the original.



I love making clothes alittle different, trying to express a kinda feeling or mood that best represents me that day.
Sometimes I go for girly, or boyish or my favourite boho look.

But its important not to try to be someone u are not, and u will look best in ur personal style.

U can just add a flower, or a brooch or tie ur shirt alittle differently and as long as u feel good - u will look great.
Dun be pressured into thinking that being thin or having supermodel features look the best, becoz if u are confident and healthy : that is the best look of all.

Beauty does lies within.

"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door."
- Coco Chanel

And most importantly, never change urself for anyone else but you.

God bless and stay happy and healthy everyone~

Helloooo everyone!
How is ur weekend coming along?

I just had the most filling dinner with the family and its back home now with the tv turned on and doing something I have always loved... SHOPPING!

Im very excited becoz I've just ordered this...



NICE ANOT????

Although ILOVEBEINGREAL have been around for sometime, this newly launched season marks the new beginning and a new direction of the website!

This maxi reminds of lying around in the grass, chasing butterflies, smelling the flowers and eating ripe strawberries.
:)



Looking at their latest collection brings me to think of my favorite bohemian chic style ala Nicole Ritchie - My ultimate boho queen.
I've always loved the wild princess look, so careless and free.

She brings u to a secret kingdom - where dangerous knights run wild.

Love her gypsy look.



I want to run to the forest with my new maxi dress and take a picture in the sunlight.



I am totally digging this look.
Do u?
:D

Take care everyone~
Im back to online shopping... til then.

xoxo

TAGS REPLIED!

JJ: Hi dear! I might do a hair tutorial soon! :D But I need to schedule a fringe cut first coz my bangs are all over in my eyes! :p

Pauline: U're welcome babe! But Im terribly sorry I cant find the name of the dress becoz I've thrown the tag away sometime ago. All I hope is that this might be a very new season piece, hence it might not be in Singapore yet! And also it might be too new to be in the website.
OR... it might be a really old piece thats why u cant find it. :(:(:(
(I cant even confirm if it is new season or old becoz u noe the store is usually pretty messy..)

lovelie: Hi sweets! I live in the east. :)

Ah Huat Girl: Wahahahhahaha YO YO YO! Eh u really very funny lor when I read the tag I was like, wat!!! Hahhaha Daddy Huat so li hai in casino??? He is God of Gambler??? :P
I stay in the east but not exactly at eastpoint (simei) area! heheh although now that u mentioned.. I think it looks alittle similar! Kekekek!
p.s Rm300 is alot for cosmeticsssss!!!

Fanzie: Hello dear! I dun really use Makeup Forever products becoz I am not really attracted by the stuff that they have. Given the price which they charge, I do think that MAC is extremely similar and thus I would really rather buy MAC products.
The only thing that I like is their white shimmery crayon to line my eyes with - but frankly that is all about it. Sorry! But I hope I help u save money! :p

Janie: Hi dear! First and foremost I am extremely touched that u will even think of this small space to cheer ur loved one up.
I have never gone thru any operation (or similar) but I would think it is a rather trying time for the person itself and everyone who cares.
:(

To janie's friend: Please do not give up or lose hope becoz I really wish for u to know that everyone here will be praying and wishing u all the best.
And at anytime do u need a listening ear, u can always email me or leave an anonymous tag here and I will reply u as soon as I can.
:)
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
-Mother Teresa

Jolie: For acne prone skin - I would recommend u to use BB creme instead of compact powder.
A BB creme has healing properties and if u would like more coverage, U can consider using a mineral loose powder over the BB creme.
:)
But most importantly ( and I can never emphasize enough on:) cleansing.
Do get a special or gentle cleanser for acne prone skin as not to further irritate sensitive skin.
I recommend u to use Cetaphil after removing makeup or on makeup-free skin.

If all else fails, please seek professional help for they are in the best position to help u becoz they will understand ur condition best.
:D

Take care and good luck everyone~
Off to bed soon and back to blog again!
Love love.

HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL EVERYONE~ !!!

Due to our respective work commitments, our families had to celebrate yesterday instead of tonite.
So while its still not too late, I'll try to quickly post this before I go off for work!

I love spending family time :)
Its the bond that we should never forget, regardless of how busy we are with our daily work and lives.
Even a simple home-cooked meal means the world to me.
:)

Its actually the first time having dinner with both families in the new place (haha, coz up to recently we were still using the old dining table u noe..) so I was super hyped-up!

Jungle Boy n his mum went to the market before the sun came up, and then I went to NTUC and then Sheng Siong with her in the afternoon to get more stuff!

Fun max!
I actually like market-ing.
:p

From the vivid colours of the vegetables & fruits , to the the various kinds of produce each stall has - combined with the the loud hawkering of the sellers and the way all the aunties seem to go about in the wet market is both intriguing and fascinating to me.

But most importantly, all they want is to cook a nice meal for the family and that to me - is both heartwarming and sweet.
:)

*****

Okiessss first up! (Earlier in the week)
Lunch with my 'other' family...



I had church that day so it was a more conservative purple ruffled top with skinny pants!
Love the intricate sitching on the edges of the shirt.



After lunch and someone went ipad-buying hehehe - we headed for a small caffeine fix.
So cuteeee! Can u see the heart shape? :D



And yesterday was family day.



Spending time with loved ones.
Or catching...



And wearing a playsuit!



The feast begins...



Home-made goodness tastes best with loved ones.
And this sambal kicks ass!
I eat it with everything~!



Taking pictures round the table.



Then my camera's battery died on me..
:(

So now my hands are free to take all the yummy food!
Yaysss!
Loveeeee eating steamboat.

But the best thing about eating at home - if ur camera dies on u, u can go and grab ur charger and chargeeeee battery!!!
:p

We adjourned outside to bask in the wonderful moonlight.



The orchids one of our dear church friends who gave us for the new house.
Very thoughtful and sweet.



Looking up in the sky.



Thank you everyone!
I hope u enjoy stuffing urself with all kinds of mooncakes and playing lanterns today!

I'll reply tags now (yes yes.. solly solly arh) so catch it later below this post!

N yesss I love shopping in drugstores becoz prices are so reasonable and products dun lose to high-end stuff.
:P

Tanya: Hahaha u r rite!!! I love NARS more but MAC is pretty good too! Except I prefer the blushes from NARS and some of their sparkly stuff are much better than MAC. But MAC has the widest range of lipsticks and they do their part for charity which I really admire. :)

chouxx: Hmmmm.. Its very simple actually. U simply dip the metal ball in the cream and dot it around ur eyes (over and under) Use the metal ball over ur eye area in a gentle motion until cream dissappears. Tap using fingers lightly after.
Thats all~

Tanya: LOL! That was soooo long ago??? Yes I like it but I haven been to Korea for a long time so I didnt stock up! But if I were to go Korea again, I will most def get it becoz I really like it too! :D

morning love: Thank u babe!! I like the white top too! :p Hahhaha ya lor the kids busy playing apps so only left the dog to disturb..! He very angry with us.. keep growling.
Service? Hmmmm I have my share of bad service but I try to be reasonable. Sometimes the service stuff is paid so little u cant really expect top-notch service. So I guess as long as it is not too bad, I dun really mind.
Hottie looks??? Hahhaha wat is that?? Im such a auntie already I dun think guys will look at me.. :p
