Of girly temptations and dolls.

I've always been a girl of many interests. And many does not know but I am a Barbie Doll collector. Falling in love with Barbie came about when I walked through a Barbie Exhibition at Raffles Shopping Centre, Singapore and fell hopelessly in love with the extravagant costumes and hairdo. That was when I wanted to be a fashion designer.

I would say, I have quite a number of dolls in my collection. However, Bob Mackie is a designer i've grown to love ever since i delve into the world of doll collecting.

Therefore, i'm just putting up a list of barbies that I intend to get either from him or other designers for my reference.

Thats about all.. so if anyone wanna sell any of the abovementioned barbies, feel free to leave a comment in my comment box... =) Of course, I will only consider a reasonably priced doll... and friends who can't seem to decide on what to get me for my birthday... getting me any of the dolls above is more than welcome! MUAHAHAHAHHAHA!!

shameless marketing...

there are many things that I've been doing in my life... some more out there than others... so I've decided that i should just post something here...

I've started something with a friend... something that many have urged me to do when i was in Singapore full time (once upon a time)...

i love it, this thing I've started... the intricacies, the whirlwind of buzz, the journey, witnessing new beginnings and being a part of it...

i am also proud to say that i'm good at it.

what is it you may ask? welllllll.....

I've started a wedding planning service. i would prefer to refer to myself as a wedding coordinator... or maybe a PA to the bride..

don't you think every bride needs one? someone who specifically deals with her wedding related schedule... making sure things are done right in their absence and catered to in accordance to their taste, specifications, requests and personal style...

So I've launched Jitters & Smiles and I'm proud to say its mine.

Jittersandsmiles.blogspot.com

Granted, I've not have that many bookings as I've been here in Australia... but trust me. Let that not deter you from engaging our services as I have a base back home in singapore that will be ready to cater to your bridely needs... :-)

So don't hesitate to email us at jittersandsmiles@Gmail.com

Time for a change?

A conditional offer from the university of Birmingham was received this morning... I was shocked beyond words... I've been waiting for a UK offer... been waiting for it for so long!! And now that it is here, I have so many things that needs further clarification... so many.

I've been dreaming of UK ever since that trip to UK when I was 14... a trip that changed my life... a trip that left a huge impression on me... I've always wanted to be there... 12 years have passed since then.

Circumstances have changed.
People don't stay the same and yet,
The dream of UK lives on...

What is with that country that pulls me in as so? Filled with adventures that one could only imagine...

So here, I will weigh out my circumstances again. Just like lady justice balancing out her scales...
