Hauls......

From time to time I'll put up haul posts whenever I have any and it can range from beauty products like skincare, cosmetics  to clothes to accessories to fragrances and anything girly to electronic gadgets, basically anything I get my hands on. And I think I might do reviews and swatches for cosmetics or beauty products if I can but this will bore any male readers out there.
 

So to start off I wanna show you guys a bracelet that I got from Forever21 a while ago and you may probably tell I'm wearing it in the pictures from my past posts.

So here it is......



It's got black ribbon, pearl and some chain intertwining each other and its so pretty!! The moment I set my eyes on them, I'm thinking " I must have them!!"

The black ribbon at the end which I tied into a simple bow, you could actually tie it any way you want it. This bracelet actually comes together with a set of assorted golden bangles and pearls bracelets.



I wore the black ribbon bracelet together or separately depending on my outfit because wearing them together might be too over like too many things going on. Yeah, and its also inexpensive but I'm not sure if they still have this at F21 thou.


Ok, so the next few items I got from anchorpoint and they are really blingy and pretty!! And the best part is they are 3 for $10 which is quite reasonable I feel so something this pretty!!




Ok this is pretty self-explanatory. It's really blingy in real life seriously. In fact all 3 of them are!!



This pair is actually the shape of the four leaved clover. Hopes it brings me luck haha!! 


That's all for my recent hauls and......

Fun With My New Desktop Webcam!!

Ok before we jump into all the 1000 pictures, I want to rant about all the shitty problems that my last desktop imposed on me. 

Never mind that it was huge and taking alot of space and the CPU making a lot of noise when it's running(all I could live with), but the bloody CD drive became paralysed since god knows when and the most crazy and irritating thing it did was to show a bloody blue screen with MS DOS words on it and it would auto restart my com when I'm in the middle of talking to my friends on msn/watching YouTube videos/doing my online shopping etc. Basically doing some important stuffs and you don't want your computer to hang up on you. And usually the blue screen would only pop up for a spilt second and my com auto restarts. What pisses me to the max is that the blue screen would pop up so damn frequent that I had to switch to using another PC!! RAWRRRRRRRR

So 1 fine day my old desktop decided to test my patience to the ultimate level. My good friend, the blue screen shows up again but this time it decided to stay and hang out with me!! It just stayed on the monitor for the longest time ever without auto restarting my com like it would normally did. So I'm like staring at my blue monitor from >=(   ------>  O.O   ------>   -_-'''

It was simply the last straw!! I've got to get a new desktop!! Ok back to the unfortunate situation...... I had to push the on/off button on the CPU to restart my com. But before I did that, I decided to take a picture of my good friend.

Beginning dump of physical memory!?! I DUMP YOU FIRST AH!!! 

I was so lucky as the PC fair at Suntec Convention halls was also going on(this happened weeks ago) so I decided to go check out potential PC/Laptops to replace this @#$%& problematic computer...... I went there on Thursday with my mom and sis which was the first day and there are already so freaking many people!! So as we're browsing through the whole place I was actually torn between getting a laptop or desktop. And I eventually got myself a desktop simply because I wouldn't need the mobility of a laptop as I only would use the computer at home and I was lazy to luge the laptop wherever I go. 


I would simply just skip all the com's features and if you wanna know just google it and I'm sure tons of information is going to jump in your face.


I got the Lenovo A3 series, and its the all-in-one desktop PC.


Nice huge monitor. Great for watching my korean dramas wahahaha......


It came with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Very cool...... I don't think they have any colours other than white for this particular A3 series desktop. And the white makes it looked so Mac-ish lolz......


The keyboard and mouse can be tucked away on the base of the monitor and thus creating more space!! And the monitor is so slim, clear and bright I cannot describe how much I love it!!


Ok back to my title topic(almost got carried away!!) haha...... Yup the webcam that amazes and amuses me a lot...... Ok now here's some 1000 pictures that's gonna lag your com/iPhone/HTC/laptop or whatever you're using to view my blog......

Presenting......


MiaomiQueen!! Haha this crown certainly comes in handy!!






Haha the fish eye effect!!


I've got a twin!! Lolz......



Should introduce this to Edison Chen......

The snowflakes were actually falling in this 1......

Ok that's all folks!! I hope this freaking long and picture heavy post(as usual) didn't cause your com to hang =P

25/06/2010 - A Visit To The Shoppes At Marina Bay Sands

Warning: The following blog post is picture heavy so if you prefer to read words, please proceed to www.dictionary.com or Wikipedia. Thank you and enjoy......

The journey to marina bay sands was a long but scenic one. The weather was pretty good with occasional wind and the sun today was favorably blocked by the cloudy sky. So it wasn't so torturing to walk from marina square.

And the first thing that welcomed us was......



Strolling through the Youth Olympic Park, you'll be able to see the much talk-about bridge which links to the marina bay sands......


Welcome to the Helix bridge!! The Helix would transform into the most enchanting sight at night but too bad I went in the day...... In order not to disappoint, I shall search for the night time pictures of the bridge in yahoo.com......



































Wow so tempting!! Makes me wanna go back for more pictures during the night time when the bridge is fully illuminated!!

And now, back to day time...... 

Haha it feels weird but at the same time amusing to be a tourist IN Singapore!!

The floating platform where 1 of the YOG sports - cycling is going to be held......

Zooming in on the hotel skypark......


Bam!! I loooveeee my camera's freaking powerful zoom!!


Moving on......


This was set up in the direction going towards marina square/town. No, not towards the marina bay sands.

New road signs......


Nice taxi stand......



































The Shoppes is HUGEEEEEE......

It also housed the Sands Expo Halls...... Cool~~


Check out this KL Shopping Centre inspired river boat thingy!!


The boats will reach this U turn point at the end and then back to the starting point. This ride is 15mins long(or probably short for others), and it charges $5 for each person regardless adult or child. Pretty affordable for a 1 time experience though......


I'll let you in on something interesting regarding that hemispheric thing on the ceiling soon......


And now the most talked about casino......


This picture is the entrance of the casino but its a bit blurry because I didn't know if I'm allowed to take picture of the casino and I didn't dare to take another clearer picture for fear that those "bouncers" might confront me =X

Moving on......
 
Escalator/Lift leading up to the hotels......  


Welcome to the marina bay sands hotels!!





Nice band playing at the Fuse......


The restaurant below 1 of the hotel towers......




That's all for the hotel...... They actually opened the skypark for public at $20 per person but we gave it a miss when we saw the never ending queue......


Remember the hemispheric thingy mentioned earlier??

We found out something interesting about it. That is if u talk into this thing, your voice travels around this thing and could actually be heard from the direct opposite!! 

So if you don't want anybody to hear what you are talking about, try to speak softly around this thing or do the opposite if you wanna have some fun disturbing other people!! XP


Ok I shall not be rude as to keep calling it this thing this thing. Its actually a......


As we are just hanging around the rain oculus, something spectacular happened......


Water came gushing out from each of the little ports all round!! And soon the water starts to fill up!!



I'm not sure why but the water looks kinda dirty to me thou...... But whatever, it amazes me nevertheless......


This whirlpool thingy lasted around 5~7 minutes I  think...... 

Behind or in front of the rain oculus depending where you are standing(I was facing the door of The Shoppes), was this marvellous view of the Singapore River......






And now, to test and push the limit of my camera's zoom......

Here's the original pic...... I'm going to zoom in on the Merlion in the middle of the pic.




Zooming in...... Still within the optical zoom.


Reached the limit and its in digital zoom. Still clear as the bus number behind was captured as well. Freaking awesome and I'm truly impressed!!

At last its time to leave this place as it was not fully operational yet.


The Singapore Flyer.

Soon we're back at marina square and feeling so damn hungry!! So we had Sakae Sushi for dinner!! Simply yums......




OK!! So much for this super doper never ending long post...... It took me like 2 days to upload all the pics and posting this up!!
