I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

It’s so wrong when you had a can of energy drink that looks like an angry brown poop (refer to pic in last post) and you still feel doozy woozy sleeepy.

I can’t wait till Sale season. I think I spend more when I forbid myself to shop. It must work the other way, right? Stingy when allowed to spend. Mini rebel needs some discipline because clearly, this thing I just bought from ASOS is DIYable inside and out.

    There are sales everywhere here and it’s driving me crazy because I have no money… nothing to spend at all! Boo! Maybe I’ll have to try to replicate that ASOS shirt via a DIY.

    i’m very intrigued by this ring you’re wearing. i wanna see a close up!! it looks like an animal head, perhaps a leopard? but then again by eyes could be playing silly tricks on me. that asos shirt you bought is SO cool.

    adorable. i like everything.

    may i know if you have a list of preferred gmarket sellers? can you share it with me, pl? i figured we might like some of the same things (like sling bags). i’m a shoe freak too. i haven’t tried to look at the site. i really shouldn’t be buying more shoes :P

    thanks in advance!

    Can’t wait for the sales either, but I seem to always buy stuff from the new collections instead of the sales! Mmm evil marketing strategies!

    this outfit is my version of a perfect casual outfit! I loves the cardi colour, those sweet boots and the beanie. And yes, you could probably have DIYed what you bought from ASOS but hey sometimes you just gotta let someone else do the work for you ;)

    Hi!

    I found your blog that was linked to a blog written by someone I knew in high school back in HK.

    And when I saw that photo of your friend Ellen’s post-it note drawing, the drawing style seemed so familiar..so I went to the facebook profile of the Ellen that I knew and sure enough she had a photo of her taking a picture of you! (I know Ellen from her brother Daniel)

    Gosh small world.

    Anyway, quality blog :D

    Hi, I’m a less-than-a-beginner blogger, I simply love your blog and I think you can help me to improve my blog. I especially need some advice on how I can enlarge my photos, I tried to use Imageshack but I couldn’t see the photos on the post. can you give me some tips please? Oh and I know, I use a crappy camera but I will get a new one soon:-)I also want to thank you for having made me discover Gmarket!
