i will miss amazon.de

Ordered stuff from amazon.de once again. [Finally, my Avril Lavigne Forbidden Rose Prefume+Lotion, & a Victorinox swiss army knife] I presume this would be the last time I am ordering anything here. Definitely miss those online shopping time, and seeing that everything is cheap and comes with free shipping! its just Yippeeness (:

All the things I bought off Amazon.de:

    1. Adidas female world cup jersey €42.75 loved it much! kinda bought it cos of the pretty headband, which I found pretty useless as I can't pull it off on a normal day. Also, the German female World cup team lost in the Quarterfinals. ): rahsss. Was hoping that they can win the title this time round. Nonetheless, upon selfish thought, my jersey will be considered "updated" as the two golden starts on the top left hand corner remains TWO. (:
    2. Adidas Micoach €83.29 this was supposed to be a gift for my brother. or rather a shared motivation to run device. Yeap, have been using it for quite some time. Indeed motivational, and what I like most about it is, it keeps my pacing in check. Definitely one of the most useful buy (: And we have been eyeing for it in Singapore since three IT fairs ago. Plus, I got it at the cheapest possible price, it was a sales period then! *HAPPY MAX*
    3. Eastpak Wyoming with leather bottom €40.60 this bag is simply pretty loves(: once again, sharing it with my brother(: was looking for a new bag to replce my torn NUM backpack. argh. What lousy NUM quality & its so freaking ex! bahhh. anyway, Eastpak from amazon is much cheaper than outside. & shipd right to your doorstep! Come on, I just could resist it!
    4. Avril Lavigne Forbidden Rose Perfume & Lotion set €57.75 Tried looking for the 100mL perfume out in the stalls for long, but just couldn't find it. & they do not restock them too. I like my perfume HUGE. Thus, its always 100mL for me (: New addition to my collection of perfumes, Salvatore Incanto Dream, Escada Moon Sparkle, Salvatore Attimo, Avril Lavigne Black Star & lastly my new found love (:
    5. Victorinox Manager Pocket Knife €20.04 For dear dear! I chose the colour for him, the original Opaque Swiss Army Red. I think that colour is the classiest of them all. Not liking the transparent colours at all. Looks cheap, like imitation. ): And we will have a couple Swiss Army knife! :P Like who cares right, but I do. one of those little girly insignificant things in life that matters & I am contented about. I need to learn to be more mature, or maybe not. simple contentment is the key to happiness (:

    Just to add on to my purchases off Amazon, not just .de. I shopped at amazon.co.uk & amazon.com (the US site too!) Shipped my purchase off amazon.co.uk to Stefanie in London. & bought a Kindle US$139 from the US site as it was SO MUCH CHEAPER and got Andrew to bring it back (: Purchased the amazing Travolo Travel Spray from the UK site. That little thing is so much cheaper on the UK site £5.69, whereas it cost €11!! It may look just like a normal perfume spray which you can get from Singapore's Pasar Malam at S$1, but behold watch this video, and you will be convinced that it is capable of saving much more money & trouble in the long run (:

    Ello world!

    Ello world!
    I am back after such a long time.

    The reason for not blogging for such a long time was simple.
    NO TIME LA! :P
    Officially ended my exams on the 1st of December. :)

    2nd of december, finish planning my timetable for next semester!
    all because i needed to book my german lectures.
    oh my god la! next semester's timetable is gonna be quite bad. ):
    hopefully my wednesdays will be free! :D
    looking forward to my four day work week! :D gee!
    did some last minute packing, making sure that everything was in order and nothing was left out.
    went to the library in the later afternoon, and borrowed four books.
    really nice ones, i just finished one. :D
    Peony in Love.

    left for malaysia on the 3rd of december! :D
    Penang from 3rd to 6th.
    and KL from 6th to 8th.
    was a shopping trip ba.
    but the rewards aren't abundant.
    didn't buy a lot of clothes la.
    ):
    the sales was apparently not very much.
    It was a peak season with the long holiday of Haji, and yet, there weren't much tourists around.
    Business was poor.
    Had pretty much of an "adventure" in KL.
    Shifting hotel rooms, nd shifting hotel entirely!
    i will blog more about that later ba.
    haha! ): it wasn't a great memory to be engraved in my supposingly happy shopping trip.

    yeah, i shall start blogging soon.
    before more events starts to take place and i wont have time to blog.

    meeting dawn and sheena for dinner tomorrow night.
    having a family gathering on the 21st. :D
    finally after so so long....
    I miss my dearest niece, nephew and erm.. my xiao biao jie!!
    haha!
    maybe i shall make a trip down to marcus's (my nephew) house one of these days!

    just a random picture i found.
    mabelle and i.
    taken when i was baby sitting her this june. :D
    Seven sister gathering on the 27th!:D
    and probably a NP gathering of my squad in time to come. :D
    happy happy happy! :D
    those who are free, please date me :D

    oh, but of course, i still have the task of spring cleaning my room. ):

    madly rushy and longy thurs. ):

    thurs,
    the latest day i end school.
    i am glad i pulled through.
    and i believe that i can pull through for the rest of the semesters.

    First, German lecture. (LAG1201)
    Frau Chen went damn fast today!
    there was not enough time to copy down things.
    so i took my camera out and snapped it. :D
    haha. sounds like some kiasu singaporean.
    yeah i am. i am trying my best to be la.
    i have several Fun and nice people in my lecture group!
    haha! really enjoy the group sessions with them lo! :D
    but pace of lesson is really too fast for me to catch up!
    i need to buck up liao. revision is really insufficient.

    rushed over to Cm1101 lecture straight after german.
    found a less crowded, but long and tedious road from AS4 to the central library bus stop.

    took the same shuttle bus with mary!
    had some small talk with her on the bus.
    we were busy balancing ourselves while conversing.
    mary was standing at the edge of the steps, and i was standing right beside the driver.
    i think i was obstructing him changing his gear.
    he sucks la.
    kept on grumbling.
    rahhs.
    anyway, nice to have company on a crowded shuttle bus.
    takes your mind off those bumpy and uncomfortable squeeziness on the bus.

    CM1101. (:
    as usual, Dr Battens crack some lame jokes!
    somwthing about by convention electrons are drawn to point up instead of down as up means heaven, and down means hell. Hell- bad omen!
    there was something else also.
    quite a few, but my tiny brain can't recall all.

    after lecture, we sat in the LT for quite some time.
    waited for my CM1101 textbook seller!
    got the university by peter siska at $30.
    (:
    still looks new, just that its not wrapped. i am so gonna wrap it!
    and after using it! i am going to sell it!
    wahaha!

    then, CM1111 lab.
    i was late.
    when to the CM1101 location.
    shit man. how blur can i get right?
    sucks la.
    anyway, lab was ok.
    just simple titration.
    was pretty blur initially due to lack of practice.
    but the seniors around were nice!
    they are helpful people!
    so fret not, just ask them if you have any questions. (:
    and the guy sitting beside me is helpful too.
    as i went in late, i kept on asking him about where to get things and stuff.
    he was nice enough not to feel irritated at me!
    we compared results after that, got almost the same results la.
    so my titration skills aren't that bad afterall :D
    all thanks to TK! I used to get full marks for titration one hor! :D

    after lab, went down to meet another textbook seller for my another textbook.
    the textbook is for next semester,CM1161.
    haha. applied chem text.
    i know la. i kiasu.
    but i have learnt my lesson.
    i am buying the textbook to keep.
    at least demand for this textbook now is still low.
    so prices are relatively fine also.
    got it for $31.
    haha. supposed to be $30, but since she only has $19 change, then i closed one eye lo. (:

    took shuttle bus to Central library.
    didn't want to take 95 from science.
    it is really cant make it one!
    when i alight, i met kelvyn!
    he was going for the TANGS bazaar.
    and he asked me to join him.
    so we shopped there for a while.
    returned with 4 Ritter Sport! :D
    yummylicious!
    kel let me into the secret of consuming Ritter Sport!
    its damn cool la! have yet to try it though. :D
    anyway, Ritter Sport is 4 for $11.
    means 1 for 2.75!
    cheap sia!
    there were also sales of MAC comestics, bras, briefs, adidas stuff, shoes, puma stuff, alot of other tibits.
    the MAC comestics are tempting!
    but i just bought stuff from Robinsons yesterday.
    Robinsons having 20% discount these few days!

    After that, finally its time to go home!
    :D
    went home with dear dear. :)
    we were on this super empty train la!
    there were seats! :D
    no need to stand with my two thick textbooks!
    dear received 2 Ritter Sport chocolates!
    one is for his birthday gift and another is to thank him for the umbrella! :D hehe (:
    and he is very greedy lo. he wanted all 4 Ritter Sport! :P
    NO WAY! i love schokolade! :D

    Tschüss und Gute Nacht!
    (Bye and Good Night!)

    oh, by the way, thurs is also the no lunch day. ):
    i had two chicken pau since 7am till 5pm.

    iSHOP free photo shoot! (: a MUST GO!

    free photo shoot at iSHOP!
    @ cineleisure. (:
    iPhoto demostration.

    went with my darling brother, who is now known as my xiao boyfriend.

    I will post up the photos later as it is taking quite a long time to load!

    Photos are taken with a Canon EOS.
    Free Make up session given for females. In case the males start screaming unfair!
    you can get a free hairdo "makeover", if you are thick skinned enough to ask for it.
    (definition of "makeover" a little hair spray on you hair?)
    however being a little thick skinned is worth it, as at the end of the day,
    you can get a pretty young lady to do your hair for you! (:

    ladies, in case you are wondering what sort of make up they are using and whether your skin will corrode at the end of the day.
    No worries man, cause apple always gives the best they can!
    They actually use M.A.C cosmetics.
    not any other cheapo silky girl cosmetics, but M.A.C!

    i highly suspect that there is pun intended.
    yes, MAC uses MAC!
    see the link?
    aiyah, never mind if you don't! :P

    oh ya, and the hair spray they use is the l'oreal one. (:
    smells nice!
    haha. my brother wasn't thick skinned enough to go and ask for a hairspray though.
    lousy brother!
    he didn't even want to accompany me for the photo shoot!
    BUT fortunately the Apple salesperson managed to persuade him.
    Thumbs up uP UP for the salesperson!
    They are friendly people. (:

    OH! there is one thing that they really should improve on,
    THERE IS NO MIRROR TO CHECK IF YOU ARE SHUAI OR CHIO ENOUGH BEFORE THE SHOOT!

    haha!! the only mirror that they have is the one at the make up area.

    at the end of the whole photo shoot,
    you will get 4 postcards/2 greeting cards.
    (obviously made by iPhoto. You get to design and personalise them.)
    i think this is where the iPhoto demostration is suppose to come in,
    however i feel that it is not very demo-ish la.
    we get to do everything ourselves,
    they didn't do much of a demo for us la.
    (Probably cause my brother and I aren't mac noobs. :P)

    We also get a CD with all our 22 photos burnt in them!
    I am not sure how many photos can people take.
    The female photographer was saying, "Come on guys, one last shot!"
    Yet, we ended up taking so so many more shots! (:
    HAHA!!
    i think the photographer like our last pose very much! (:
    Happy! :D

    other than the free photo shoot,
    you can get to see a "scratch show"! (:
    not bad la, cause i am not quite a fan of this genre of music.
    Nevertheless its cool to be a own DJ! even at home! (:

    I was hesitating whether to post this up, as i do not wish to have people rushing for this great deal, causing a long queue!
    However, i have decided to be nice, so there you go:

    free photo shoot on the 7th, 8th, 21st and 22nd June.
    until 8pm! (not sure what time it starts though!)
    At Cineleisure iSHOP.

    and i'm GOING AGAIN!
    loyal MAC supporter! (:

    Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Dream

    Incanto Dream
    Salvatore Ferragamo

    Top notes are pineapple, black currant, mango and red apple;
    middle notes are peony and freesia;
    base notes are sandalwood and musk.
    [quoted]

    a little perfume knowledge here:
    Top notes
    Provide the first scent impression of a fragrance once it has been applied to the skin. They are usually lighter, more volatile aromas that evaporate readily. Their scent usually lingers for between 5 and 30 minutes.

    Middle notes
    Sometimes referred to as “heart notes”, make up the body of the blend. They may be evident from the start, but will usually take 10-30 minutes to fully develop on the skin. They are the notes that classify the fragrance family (floral, oriental, chypre, etc, see below).

    Base Notes
    Are those with the greatest molecular weight. They last the longest, and are also important as fixatives, that is, they help slow down the evaporation rates of the lighter notes, giving the fragrance holding power. Common base notes include oakmoss, patchouli, woods, musk and vanilla. A fragrance which does not have traditional top, middle and base notes is usually described as "linear".

    and i realised that all those perfumes that i love contains pineapple and mango. (:

    lovely advertisement. (:
    "...inspired by the joyful bliss created in one's imagination. This fresh sparkling fruits, fresh blossoms, sandalwood, and musk fragrance evokes the feeling of joy a women feels when she believes that her dreams will come true - pure bliss."

    i am in love with this!

    Salvatore Ferragamo.
    Incanto Dream.



    damn nice la!

    bought it at a smashingly low price! (:
    42 bucks.
    (:
    tester bottle from Lucky plaza.
    the shop opposite Macdonalds.

    HOWEVER, it is not as long lasting.
    went to TANGS yesterday,
    and the salvatore ferragamo promoter went to introduce me to the body lotion.
    OMG! its so lasting.
    the very hip and cool auntie auntie applied just a little bit of the lotion on me
    and the fragrance stayed with me all the way.
    until i reached home.
    and stefanie kept on commenting that she can smell me when we were on the train.
    argh! i really really want the incanto dream body lotion!


    there is a promotion now at tangs.
    $133 for the 100ml perfume,
    two bottles of 50ml body lotion, and one 4ml small cute little miniature perfume for free!
    whilst stocks last. (:

    but i don't quite mind the body lotion only though.
    i already have a 100ml perfume one sitting at home,
    and i believe its gonna last for quite long.
    so what i lack is the 150ml body lotion.
    $63!
    and i shall pester the auntie auntie promoter to give me a free miniature for free! (:

    to think of it, its all thanks to that auntie promoter.
    she introduced layering to me.
    and now i am so addicted to that body lotion!

    that auntie promoter is highly persuasive,
    smiley too, and most importantly has good service.
    jenny is her name. (:
    i am in support of good service,
    i am very willing to pay for good service too. (:
    i shall consider going back there.
    $63.
    any sponsors please?
    i haven received gifts for quite long liao. :P
