been a little caught up with hall prod rehearsals and making full use of whatever little time I have left before school starts again!!!! I haven't been able to properly relax LOL without having to go out after a few hours which makes me sad cause I miss home and rehearsals + traveling back & fro school and home (cause ain't gonna stay in hall if I have a choice HAHA) takes up a heck lot of time..... but this whole hall prod thing has honestly been incredibly fun la
vvvvv thankful for amazing cast and directors and producers and everyone else that make going to rehearsals LESS of a dread hahahaha

Taobao Try-On Haul 12 | Shopee Haul 5 | Korea, Batam & Johor Bahru Haul
Sunday, December 18, 2016
Very collective ok!!!!!!!!!
From Taobao:
From Taobao:
L: Grey Sleeveless Tank - ¥18.99, Size M (OOS: try searching "200斤胖妹妹夏季无袖V领背心吊带雪纺女打底衫大码胖mm双层t恤潮")
Plain grey v-neck which I like and have already worn multiple times!!!! cheap and really worth
the price, too bad it's OOS :(
the price, too bad it's OOS :(
R: Black Bralette - ¥14.88, Free Size, 黑色拉条款 (link here)
Er it was cheap so can't complain much, BUT THE CUPS ARE SLIGHTLY TOO BIG 😢 haven't worn it out yet cause it's not the most comfortable hahaha
L: Dark Blue Denim Shorts - ¥39.99, Size S (link here)
These are my favourite highwaisted denim shorts ever!!!!!!!!!! I have like all 3 colours now HAHA. A lot of shorts are too baggy around my hips cause #nobutt but these fit really nicely. I have them worn in the next few photos so can see how nice they are!!!
R: Black Belt - ¥9.90, 110cm (link here)
Quality is gr9999 for the price!!!! Like it actually feels thick and sturdy wtf vvvv impressed
L&R: Mini Hair Straightener - ¥22.40 (link here)
I left mine in hall so I thought I needed one for home too haha. These work as they are supposed to, but the only thing to take note is that since these are from China, the plugs are different from the ones we use in SG. I just use a travel adaptor I have lying around la so it's k
L: Maroon Off Shoulder Top - ¥29.90, 酒红色高弹力, Size S (link here)
Was slightly disappointed in this because I expected the material to be a bit thicker as shown in the stock photos. Despite the maroon colour, it's still quite sheer leh??? But it is comfortable la so meh iz ok. Also these are my fav denim shorts!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R: White Shirt - ¥27, Size M (link here)
I have a similar style of this shirt in black and grey also hahahaha as you can tell I really stock up on my basics on Taobao!!! Super comfy and soft aiyo I love this shirt!!! I'm wearing a black bra in this photo and you can't actually see it which is super impressive!!!!!!!!!! but after washing it once I think it sheered out or something, cause I wore a beige bra afterwards and it was quite obvious wtf I don't understand LOL

L&R: Oversized Denim Jacket - ¥49.99, Free Size (link here)
This jacket is 👍👍👍👍👍 It's weighty and well made but surprisingly not hot at all. I can generally wear this around Singapore and not feel like I want to melt into a jerlyn puddle??? Yet it still keeps me warm in air-conditioned places??? what is this sorcery
Also on a related side note: the shop I got this jacket from is my fav taobao shop!! like accurate stock pics, cheap and decent quality for its price!!!! it's called xiaozhainv and it has a pig for their display pic lololol

L: Black Sandals - ¥14.88, Size 39 (link here)
Sizing runs small for these sandals, I usually wear a size 38 and got this in 39 instead. It's a bit squeaky LOL but it was so cheap and I can look past that hahaha
R: Black Bag - ¥29.50 (link here)
The black colour for this bag is OOS :-( but the light pink one is quite nice too!! My only gripe is that there is no structure to this bag at all la so it's just floppy hahaha. Also another thing to note is that it comes with a single inner magnet button clasp, so er can be quite easy to pickpocket from la LOL
L: MeNow Kissproof Soft Lipstick - ¥3.80, Colour #5 (link here)
MeNow Kissproof Long Lasting Lip Gloss - ¥4.50, Colour #20 (link here)
I previously bought the Kissproof ones from Shopee at 5 for $10 so I honestly don't need more but... cheap lololololol 😀. The Lip Gloss (more of a liquid lipstick though) didn't have much online reviews but I saw a YouTube video on it once and bought it to try anyway.

R: MeNow Long Lasting Lip Gloss Generation 2 - ¥3, Colour #20, #33, #03, #26, #02
(link for colours 1-24 here; for colours 25-38 here)
These, however, had a lot of reviews like the Kiss Proof ones!! Like what most reviews have said, it's really quite sticky la but I can look past that LOL. For the price honestly I'd look past anything so the fact that it works quite well is already vvvv impressive HAHAHAHA

L: MeNow Sharpener - ¥3.50 for 12 (link here)
The shopee shop I bought my MeNow Kiss Proof from sold 1 sharpener for $.80.......... I bought 12 for $.70 on taobao wtf. I only needed like 1 la but it was so cheap HAHAHAHAHA so if u need a sharpener hmu (looking at u weiling)
R: MeNow True Lips Lip Pencils - ¥8.50 for 12 (link here)
WAAAA SO CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is like less than $2 for 12 lip pencils leh!!!! I don't buy these cheap cosmetics w/o researching first haha and this has a substantial amount of online reviews. I've only tried one so far and it's really quite creamy wtf vvv impressed T_T
Ever since Mav's sister, Mavis showed me and raved about her Kissproof lipsticks, I've been a convert!! SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW CHEAP AND GOOD EVERYTHING WAS!!!!!!!!!!! the only bad thing about these taobao/china cosmetics is that I can't buy them directly from Taobao :( I had to use an external agent to get them via sensitive sea shipping, so it took like 3.5 weeks to arrive 😢 Shopee has a few China-based shops selling these cosmetics too at around the same prices/time to arrive but less troublesome, so I might get from Shopee next time LOL.

From Shopee:
L&R: Loose Fit Basic High Neck Top - $5.12 (U.P. $15), from jyuneesg
L&R: Shelly's Off Shoulder - $7.12 (U.P. $15), from jyuneesg
omg this shirt is ridiculously soft wtf
Have always wanted to get these exact shirts on Taobao but I didn't love it enough to justify spending like $7/$8 for each... so when I saw that Shopee had a sale for these shirts + a $3 off $10 coupon code, I bought them!!!! I paid only $9.24 for both and received them in 4 days which is (slightly) better than Taobao 😁😁👐
L: Japan Steaming Eye Mask 2pcs - $1.50 (U.P. $4), from d.y.o.n
Have yet to try this because I can't bring myself to close my eyes and do nothing for like 10-15 minutes lolololol wtf
R: My Juicy Bottle Mask 4pcs - $1.11 (U.P. $8), from sunnanz
This mask is pretty bad lolol idk why it just feels very uncomfortable???? 10/10 would not repurchase hahahaha luckily it was cheap

L: Hair Velcro 2pcs - $.30, from bodystore.sg
Makeup Brush - $1.20, from bodystore.sg

er confession: I ordered this like in September and it never arrived after like a month so I requested for a refund, which they gave................. but then like a month later in November IT CAME??????????

R: Makeup Brush (Fan) - $.65, from ladybeststore.sg
Makeup Brush & Sponge Set 4pcs - $2.16, from ladybeststore.sg
Makeup Sponges 1pc - $.50, from ladybeststore.sg
This one I did rightfully paid la!!! Also another store based in China, so I got this like after 3.5 weeks. I literally placed this order like a day before I received the aforementioned 2 months old parcel, because I was adamant on getting the toothbrush makeup brush thing... so now I have two LOL.
L&R: Storage Travel Bag - $.90 (U.P. $6.90), from kaiyutay
I have never been disappointed in a Shopee product till this LOLOL. Compared to the photos, this is really quite ugly la like the shape is just off and the logo isn't even centralized!!!!!!!!!!! but I bought it on sale for $1 (plus I used some coins I had to offset $.10) so aiya not very heartpain/cannot complain. plus this took like a month or something ridiculous to reach me wtf :')
L&R: Mars & Friends Festive Pack - $3.81 (U.P. $7.90), from felicia0305
This was on sale for $4.99, and then Shopee had a 20% code for all food items + I used some coins I had so it was pretty cheap!! Bought this for Mav because he is a chocolate loving kid with the biggest sweet tooth I've ever seen. The box did come quite smashed up in the mailing process, but since it was for Mav it doesn't matter HAHAHA
From Korea:
Asked Daryl to help me buy the No-Sebum powder when he went to Korea but he came back with all these wtf 😢😍 The pack has TWO refills of the new Innisfree Ampoule Cover cushion, which is in my shade :''')
It didn't come with the casing, so I bought this one off Carousell for only $7 he he he. I just chose the cheapest brand new one I could find, but I actually really like this colour too haha
From Batam:
I'm quite lazy to look for the prices but they were all generally cheaper than Singapore and less than $5

L: These were like SGD$4 each!!!!
The Silkygirl eyeliner was on a 50% discount and ended up being only.... $2.50 wtf
Hair stuff was pretty cheap there too like everything else really hahaha
From Johor Bahru/Etcetra:
L: Didn't really get much from JB because we spent most of our money on food and I have too much toilteries/makeup already HAHA. The eye masks were 3 for RM5.85 I think?? These Faber Castell pens are one of my favourite pens and they were only RM4 for 3 😊
R: Free samples again from Cetaphil's Facebook ad hahaha

13 December (Tuesday)
After bugging Mav for what seems like forever to go JB with me, he finally agreed to after he realized how gr8 the exchange rates are now lololol pls :---)
Anyway Mav and I were super lucky imo in terms of going to/coming back from JB that day, so I thought I'd share our journey first haha.
We had planned to take the 10am train to JB that day, so I reached Woodlands Train Checkpoint to buy the tickets at 8.45am but they were sold out wtf lololol - so tip no. 1: just don't bother buying train tickets in the morning lololol. there are no online sales for the tickets, and I heard you have to go down 1 day earlier to buy the tickets...... and ain't nobody got time for that :--)
Quickly called Mav and told him to meet me at Kranji MRT instead so that we can take the bus. We met there at around 9.15am, and queued for the CW1 bus. I only been to JB once by bus before this trip, and both times I took CW1 (operated by a malaysia bus company??) instead of bus 170 (operated by SBS). They're both literally side by side but the queue for bus 170 is always ridiculously long, and the queue for CW1 seems to always move quicker LOL. Mav and I got on the bus like immediately after I reached Kranji MRT so tip no. 2: take the CW1 bus, and make sure to have SGD$1 with you for the bus fare.
also tip no. 3: go early! e.g. meet at Kranji MRT at 9.15am like Mav and I did, because we managed to beat the crowd and reached JB by 10am w/ minimal waiting. 10am is also when most of the stores are opened so really just nice timing!!!! My other friend who went on the same day as I did started her journey at Kranji at 10.30am and waited for like 2 hours before entering JB wtf haha. and obviously tip no 3.5: go on a weekday if you can help it haha.
and last but not least tip no. 4: take the train back to SG, and buy the tickets once you reach JB!! taking the train back to SG was one of the best decision I have made lololol. It's only RM5 per pax and we took the 7pm train that day. We started queueing at around 6.15pm and waited till 7pm BUT it was all in an air-conditioned room T________T. I mean you still gotta fight the crowd a bit to get a seat in the train... but even if you don't, the train ride is only like 5 minutes long la so it doesn't matter. The previous time I went to JB, I took the bus back to SG and the bus terminal was bloody crowded and ridiculously hot!!!!!!!!! Even when I finally got on the bus, I had no seats and there was a jam so I was standing on the bus for really long 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 really not something you want to do after a long day of shopping with sore legs and heavy plastic bags hahaha
ok those are my tips for a gr99999 and fast journey to & from JB!!!!!!!!!! the journey I took the first time I came to JB was horrid and put me off going to JB for awhile despite cheap everything BUT I have now been enlightened :')
.

L: on the bus to malaysia customs!!
R: me and mav's RM6.80 milk tea LOL ACTUALLY NOT SAY VERY CHEAP LA!!!!!!!! we wanted the original milk tea but the lady charged us for this more expensive one cause it came in a fancy bottle 😔 mav then said he'd keep the bottle BUT I THINK WE ALSO THREW IT AWAY in the end zz
SO BRIGHT AND HOT!!!!!!! anyway I brought Mav to the area of cafes nearby the mall but we ended up not eating anything there lololol. found a random mall which had nothing much to see, so we took a cab to KSL from there!!!
^^^ sick of my shit

more food because despite all the food we already ate, mav said :"we still haven't had a proper lunch yet" LOL plz
RM18.90 for tomyum seafood soup + RM4 for 2 bowls of rice......... not worth la pls skip
VENTURED OUT OF KSL to find a massage place at Holiday Plaza!! It's quite easy to get there actually??? like walk out of KSL from the entrance/exit next to Coffee Bean, turn left towards the KSL attached hotel, walk straight and you will see the Holiday Plaza building to ur top left!!!
In hindsight the place was a bit sleazy lolol but the massage place we went to was recommended on some blog and 100% not sleazy I swear. It's called Thong Thai and we had a really good experience!!! RM68 for an hour haha
After that we went back to KSL... to eat more cause we phat
L: Mav has been wanting to eat fried ice cream since forever and we finally found it at KSL!!!! It's at this purple snacks kiosk right outside the cinema & electronics shop at the top level of KSL. The fried ice cream was RM4 only and it was actually really good??? the takoyaki from the same place is really nice and big and shiok!!!
R: also found this nitrogen biscuit thing around the same area and Mav is a sucker for novelty so we bought it LOL
RM10!! for these corn puff biscuits infused/injected with cold nitrogen gas LOL
lolololol
QUITE COOL LA ACTUALLY and fun to play with!!! times as such I'm glad to have a child for a boyfriend else I'd never buy things like this LOL
