It's here! ♥ My blog book has arrived. Memories from an adventure of a lifetime, now in my bookshelf! I have already read it at least 5 times... And several members of my family want to have their own to read my story, too. :o) So cute!

 

Orchard Road and Paragon here in Singapore are already decorated and ready for Christmas. The other week I soaked up the pre-Christmas atmosphere (in 31 degrees and humidity!) and bought some funny Christmas greeting cards.

Currently updating my blog layout...

 

Some inspirational quotes and pictures I have saved.

 

It's wednesday today and in Singapore that of course means Ladies Night. It has been too long... But I think I will stay in tonight. Since I am a quarter of a century old I can decide when I need to rest (or write more on a school project), even when there is a Double Birthday Bash and everyone will go to Butter Factory, a club I still have not been to... :o)

 

 

Well I might feel a bit poetic cause today was my last presentation ever at NUS! About our Code of Ethics project for my PR class. Got some papers and reports to finish off still but they're all in the second draft version now, wohoo!

One day we went on a date to Singapore Zoo! So much fun to go on daytime dates. All the sudden it started pouring rain so we made sure to hide under our cute bright green and yellow Singapore Zoo ponchos until it stopped. Afterwards we could go back out to meet all of the animals! ♥

 

Yesterday I went back to the same salon that took care of my cut and style the other week, Jean Yip at Vivo here in Singapore. If you remember, I had long blonde hair and highlights when I moved here. But recently, my hair was dehydrated from sunbathing and swimming in the ocean and thus, soaked up the hair color more intensely which resulted in a way darker color that I intended at first. 

 

Now I love it though, and as I said before I'll be able to enjoy seeing my hair getting lighter and lighter shortly due to the sun over here anyways. My hair is so shiny now, I love Asian hair treatments!

Thank god, Obama won! Now the US may proceed towards the future, who knows where R would have taken them...

So I went to get my hair dyed, a switch from blonde to brown hair and tried a typical Asian treatment (actually two hehe) as well. Never spoiled myself this much before... The color came out slightly darker than I wanted, but this way I get to try all shades of brown on the way to brighter hair again.

 

Afterwards I went shopping, bought this cute dark blue dress... Later I met the girls for the best ladies night so far. At Fullerton Bay hotel, it is even better than Marina Bay Sands and from now on it is my favourite place in the city.

 

Gorgeous view and a roof top pool and bar area which is just too relaxed and wonderful not to love it. Also we get a great view of the Marina Bay Sands hotel, so double score! It's like with the Tour de Montparnasse in Paris, when you're on it you get the view and the Eiffel tower; while being on top of the Eiffel tower gives you - just the view...

Look at that break of dawn view from my room! It's 4 am I am finally done with my course work and done packing. But I am worried that I will not wake up in time for my flight to Hong Kong if I go to bed now... What a conundrum! :(

Did some retail therapy after my group meeting today. I went all in at H&M (I'm such a Swede!) and I swear I looked at everything at least twice before I left the store to go to Cotton on.

 

The good thing is that I packed my bag for Hong Kong within 5 minutes; just took all I bought and voilá, done! Got a bit more than 6 hours until I have to get up and get a cab to the airport. Luckily I have group work before bedtime...who needs sleep? ;) /Jas

I'm done with my last exam at FASS (Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences) here at NUS. I had one exam last week and then one more this wednesday; now it's just project work left. The thing is that the project work is the biggest part... But I will make it! And then I will travel shitloads to make up for all the hard work. :o) /Jas

One of the girls in my project group works at an agency in the city and she has the apartment of one of her clients at her disposal, so we met there to study. Check out the view of Marina Bay! I had a date in the same area after our study session, so the timing and location were perfect.

 

It was a good night. We went to Marina Bay Sands and checked out the indoor ice skating rink, saw cute Halloween desserts at a bakery and went to see all the luxury boutique displays, just strolling about and chatting.

 

Afterwards we continued our walk along the waterfront, before we headed to our destination for the night, the quaint bar at the Mandarin Oriental. Our goal was to try their signature cocktails and eat the famed hamburgers. Everything was really delicious! ♥

 

We took many Halloween party photos last night at Marmalade, but then my camera with the most awesome party pics with the whole crew got stolen. So sad about that... Luckily my friends managed to take some photos as well so at least I have some memories! Have a look at the photos - I was dressed as an angel, with wings and all! :)

I really loved the party venue at the Bukit Timah Saddle Club. When going outside for some air in between dances you could scent the smell of the horses around the premises. I miss riding sooo much! And I miss my horse, Monique. RIP '06. ♥

 

Btw, talking about horses... One day I wanted to go horseback riding with my friends here in Singapore... It was 600 dollars, I am not kidding! WTF, Singapore? Given what we would spend if everyone came with, we could buy our own horse for that kind of money! :D

All set for the Halloween party tonight! The location has been revealed to all attendees now. Here is a little hint of my Halloween costume for this year. :o)

Halloween comes best in two parts for me, a party night and movies! Tomorrow I really want to watch some scary movies but for now I have to find a costume for tonights party which will be held at a secret location, all very exciting! In the past I have been to Halloween parties with a lot of different outfits. There was Dracula, a ghost, an inappropriate nun, a crazy person that had escaped from a mental institution (not kidding, haha) and a dark fairy with black wings. What will it be this year? Talking about costumes, here is a Halloween costume for couples that I found. So pretty! I have always loved that movie, too. Here you go, Mary Poppins & Bert. ♥
