I am going away!

I am sorry about the break in my posting routine. I was busy with a few things. In short: Exams, Work, Travel Plans, (trying to keep to) my Exercise Routine, and meeting up with friends. I spent last night at ICE3 being stuffed with good conversation, friends, waffles and ice cream. Excess is fantastic, and rum & raisin ice cream is even better.

If you read the title, it's true! I'm going away... to Switzerland for two weeks to live with some relatives (live, two weeks, lol). I forgot what Europe is like, so this is my chance to discover and explore for myself. This is a good time too, seeing how I haven't rested a day since my semester ended.

Over the week I saw an ad in the classifieds for Uni Qlo. They are recruiting merchandisers so it's official, they'll be here in 2009! It's going to be brought in by Wing Tai Asia. I am such a big fan of those crazy time-wasting games / noise makers they have up on their website (and of course the clothes too). The entry of a traveled brand like Uni Qlo will create a really vibrant shopping environment over here.

Other things: I can't wait for the new season of Gossip Girl, more Blair, more fab clothes, more gossip (somehow the boys in GG just don't make me swoon). And then this Sunday is the Nike+ Human Race... ah, I know I'll wing it.

So anyway, my mind has been thinking of how to dress for the cool weather in Switzerland. It's slightly cold-ish so I think all my leggings and tights will finally have a real use! Okay, and I lied. My mind has been making mental notes of things that I want very very much. Here's two right now.

The shoe is awesome just because, and the MJ Pouchette is lovely! One of those things you really have to think about a few times before getting though. What I really want though, is a beautiful printed scarf, Marc Jacobs Grapefruit Splash, and more American Apparel things.

Good night people, It's back to work tomorrow with more mid week blues.

a photography event

Tonight i went to Old School at Mt Sophia for the first time. I've been there before, but that was before it was marketed as the fancy enclave it is now. It was a building and the tenants were centres for foreign degrees. And that was in like, 2005 when I was in this school event where we MGS girls were on a car rally to discover bits of our past. Something like that. I was there tonight to attend my friend Stacy's photography exhibition. Not her own (not now anyway, but someday) but with her coursemates at Temasek Polytechnic. There were a few awesome things about tonight.

This photograph from the exhibition was one of my favourites. I don't quite know why, but probably it's because the man in the red hoodie looks.. nice. I had other favourites, but they aren't on the event's flickr page so I guess that would mean if you want to see them, you can take a trip down to Old School.

I enjoyed the exhibition because there were a good selection of photographs, and you know, you can see differences between each individual's work. Some people took photos of nature, some took photos of people (my fave), and in all it consisted of a lot of great perspectives. It was like, the creativity from a lot of brains. And then of course it was great fun.

Anyway, the exhibition is at 2902 Gallery at 11b Old School. It's on from now to the 1st of August and you can buy postcards of the photographs at the venue, along with badges and other things. The people behind the exhibition have a blog here.

Back to talking about Old School. It was beautiful but I didn't have time to explore the place tonight. Not tomorrow either although the RSC Block Party is taking place there tomorrow. I am swamped with assignments. But I will be back there soon, perhaps for a movie and lunch.
