Twenty-Eight.

Hellooooo! It's New Year's Eve!! Time really flies ):

Back in office for a photoshoot today and to clear some payments!

All emails will be attended to on Wednesday when we are back ya! :)

Please pardon my big nose in the picture below :p

Heh since every Saturday is dress up day, I decided to put on some brown eyeshadow! Trying to hone my eyeshadow skills lolll hahaha. You can't see it very well here, but I tried to do a soft brown eyeshadow! :) Used bobbi brown's cream eyeshadow and Naked 2's brown!

A rare time when I am wearing a long sleeved top! Wearing Scallop Bejewelled Top in Peach!

(http://www.theclosetlover.com/tops/scallop-bejewelled-top-peach)

Paired it with a high waist jeggings for a more dressy look! Wanted to wear heels to really oomph up the outfit, but...hahaha I am not very used to wearing heels :p So it shall be my trusty TCL Knotted Suede Flats instead! :)

See the pretty details! I think it looks like a dragon hehehehe.

I bought new accessories from the supplier and wore it on the spot! LOL hahaha.

Spot the leopard face! :D

I am on a blogging roll!! Lol haha it's just because it's the long weekend so I have slightly more time to blog haha. Had our annual dinner celebration with my JC classmates!

We usually have dinner at Nigel's house but decided to head to Cedele for dinner and went for drinks after at his house!

Aww we are all semi grown up now from our young and innocent 17 year old selves hahaha.

Group shot!

We finished eating all the nuts before we finished the drinks hahaha. Old already, cannot drink too much anymore :p

With future Dr Ng hahahaha. Putting on weight ah this guy ;)

Do not underestimate this small cup, for it is a rather strong mixture of Chivas and Green Tea!!!!

Twenty-Sixth.

Hello! It's nearing Xmas!!! My favorite festival of the year haha (and I believe many other people deem this their fave festival too!!)

Had our annual (almost) Xmas dinner with the girls at shrimp's house! We love her house haha it's really a great place for hanging out ;) Anyway silly me thought that it was on Saturday even though I remembered the date to be on the 21st until shrimps mentioned a word "today" and I realized that it was on FRIDAY!!! Oh gosh I went to the office in a super dressed down state (think really zombie looking haha) because I was ready to battle the packing of the parcels with our pixie Hui Ee -.-

But anyway we managed to pack all the parcels by 6pm and I rushed to Cold Storage to purchase ham! And then back home to change and look slightly more presentable!! I actually managed to put on my makeup in a record time of approximately 7 mins #win hahahaha! Slipped on the all-occasions-also-can-wear paperbag courtney dress!!! :D

Fooddd!!! Roasted chicken, baked potatoes, potato salad, salad, fried wanton + my 500g worth of ham (which is not in the picture as I was late)!

Wei Hong helping us to cut up the roast chicken :D The chicken tasted really nice!! I think it was marinated with Honey!

And then we proceeded on to gift exchange!! The girls were so stressed out buying the gift exchange items and each of us was proclaiming how their gift was the best (except for shrimps, but actually her gift wasn't that bad :p )!! I got my gift exchange item from Sephora! If you are running out of ideas, you can head to Sephora! They have plenty of cutesy and girly makeup that will make such an appropriate gift :)

In the end I got Shrimp's gift!!! It was a notebook, along with a super cute gingerbreadman phone plug! :)

Onto to couple shots! :D Hehehehe.

I love spending Xmas with the people I care and love, and it's always such a heartwarming feeling when we all meet up and talk about random stuff, reminiscing the old days! Cheers to many more years of friendship ahead ;)

All photos above credited to Ngles! :D

OTD! Last Saturday's outfit! Wearing a Topshop Dress with TCL Knotted Suede Flats in Black!
Yes this pair of shoes is really megaaa comfy after breaking it!

I am really prone to blisters so if I don't get blisters after wearing it = you probably won't too!
Bree wore it too, no blisters for her! The knotted details are so pretty! And the gold capped part is soft so it doesn't hurt :)

Good hair day! My curls are almost gone! Wondering if I should perm it again :\\

Tadahhhhh!!!! Presenting to you our second manufactured flats! :)

Comes in cobalt blue, wine and black! Awesome colors to match with almost any outfit :DD

Super close up of the knotted details! :) So pretty right? Hehe. I am gonna keep the one in wine too!! Since I already have a cobalt blue flats. But the cobalt blue pair is nice tooo!! :(

Managed to snap a couple of photos with Bree! Die la I think because we see each other almost every day now, we are beginning to look even more alike! Just a shoutout that the one on the right is yours truly, and the one on the left is Bree! I think some customers still mistake me for Bree or Bree for me, but anyway I am Bertilla Wong and she's Brianna Wong! (Just in case you are a first time reader hehe).

Wearing TCL Raindrops Studded Tank with TCL Blockbuster Blazer and leather pants in navy and the knotted sueded flats again! :) Launching next week!!!

And because Bree said she'll be blogging about the BTS for the shoot (while I can't blog ): ) so I'll just post some of my favorite shots!! Hehehe. Have you checked out our lookbook on facebook yet? It's sooo pretty!!! --> http://www.facebook.com/theclosetlover

TCL Raindrops Studded Top! I think this is the must-get of the collection because the studs are really damn cutee! And I heard Mango is selling it, so get it at a fraction of the price on TCL! :D (PLUS we did it in really yummy colors loll hahaha). See how pretty Rebs is here! :)

Cons strutting her stuff in the photo below! She has this amazing ability to look effortlessly pretty and nice in almost every outfit!! For this shot, she was actually you know, just walking towards the photog HAHA.

TCL Uptown Blazer!! Bree's Favorite! She kept it in almost all the colors!!

I recommend white for an easier combination :)

And I just love the perspective of this shot! I can't explain it but I just really like this shot too!! Hahah :D

And of course, our TCL Knotted Suede Flats! In super wearable colors :)

We are giving away 12 X $12 worth of TCL Vouchers and 3 apparels!

Meiting kindly sent me a pair of suede loafers in Mustard!!! :D The tassle fringe details are so cute hehe. I actually don't have many mustard shoes because I am tanned and I don't wear mustard colors very well, but this loafers doesn't emphasize on my tan! (y)(y)

The stitching is also good and intact for this pair of loafers, and I must say that it's reallyy comfortable! Quality assured (Y)!

Prettyy colors below!!! Choose from Royal, Dusty Pink or Mustard!!

I paired the tassel drop suede loafers with TCL Love for Embroidery Top and our trusty floral shorts in black! Sorry for the bad lighting!! ): Tried my best to make the photos look nice >< I have worn the loafers the whole day and no blisters so far! It's quite soft as well, but sturdy of course!

Styled it with upcoming camel leather studded bag as well! :)

We were famished when the food finally arrived! Oh they do not allow you to seat until the whole group has arrived, so be sure to be on time if you are intending to dine at this place!

Spinach with salted egg and pi dan. Not too nice, I find it abit too watery :\

This is my favorite dish! It's tofu with like Japanese mushrooms!! Yummy sauce!

This is like average, their butter pork ribs! I didn't think it was really nice actually :| Quite over rated in my opinion!

FOOODDDDDD.

Ngles and I shared this drunken cockles! It's raw cockles in like wine with garlic and chilli!! Haha she had like 12 of them and I had like 10 :p

Blurred mandatory group shot!
