 L: High Neck Top - ¥20.99, Free Size (link here
Got this top in black during my previous order, loved it so much that I got it in white!! but unfortunately the fit for this one is slightly bigger around the sleeves??? :-( rather disappointing but meh I can live with it

R: V-Neck Flutter Top - ¥29.99, Free Size (line here)
This looks quite bad when not worn but looks nice when it's actually on the body la hahahaha. Nubbad, I like this!!

L: Off Shoulder Top - ¥25.98, Free Size (link here
This would look nicer with black/white bottoms but I love this shirt so much!!!! It doesn't ride up my shoulders that much since only the sides are elastic, so that's a bonus. This shade of blue isn't something I'd usually go for but I thought it was rllllyyyy pretty???? glad I went out of my comfort zone!!

R: Halter Top - ¥15.98, Free Size (link here
This grey isn't the shade that I like/was pictured on the website but still nice nonetheless. It's labelled free size but it's not super stretchy & quite tight fitting on the body. But I can still fit la and it was such a cheap shirt so no complaints HAHA

Anyway, the above 4 items were all from this shop and this is my second time ordering from them!! Most of the items are ~my style~ (lolol), cheap and MOST IMPORTANTLY: items usually come true to stock pic!!!!

It's quite a popular shop so there are a lot of photo reviews for most of the items. This makes it easier to see if the item is similar to what is depicted!!! A lot of times Taobao stuff comes very different from expectations la, so I really appreciate it when a store actually delivers what it promises LOL. I usually don't buy an item from TB unless there are a few image reviews from other buyers. This way I can gauge what the actual item looks like. I trust this store enough though to still buy an item for them even if there are NO image reviews, cause I know they will be similar to stock pics!!!! Which is nice la cause I don't have to wait till someone posts a review before buying it HEHEHEHE

Also the clothes in this store is quite cheap la but u get what u pay for. Most of the shirts I've ordered have a few loose threads but it doesn't bother me that much. I think it's decent quality for the price and I can still get a few wears out of each so idm!!

got these from another shop hahaha

AA-Inspired Exercise Shorts - ¥23.90, Size S (link here
Have this in 3 colors: black. navy blue & silver!! it fits just nice on me which is a relief hahaha. just a random point: it isn't very flattering on food babies la LOLOL especially the silver color one!!!!!!!

Been wanting to get this for really long but kept putting it off because I didn't see the need LOL. But my recent 5 day hall camp made me realize how little FBTs/exercise (??) shorts I have so I FINALLY bought these. Technically my mum did la cause I was still quite reluctant so she paid for these :")

Pretty tiny haul but the rest were like new underwear and laundry baskets and home stuff for my dorm room HAHAHAHA

12 July (Tuesday)

Met up with my 2 fav fav fav aunties and girls from CocoCane!! Aunty Iris (in red) and I just had our last workshifts there at that point so I guess this was kind of a farewell dinner LOLOL

We had dinner at waterway point after Aunty Jenny finished her shift and omg we were making so much noise wtf legit. Like e.g. Aunty Jenny wanted to pay for our bingsu, so she tried to stuff a $50 note into my hand. I refused to take it from her so she chased after me, trying to stuff it into my bag????? We continued pushing the money back and fro until Aunty Jenny shouted at me: "MUMMY SCOLD YOU AH!!!" and of course passerbys turned to stare at me la so I had no choice but to take the money wtf aunty jenny pls :''''')

while the 2 aunties went to NTUC to do their grocery shopping, the 4 of us headed back to the store to take a pic for memories sake :-(

25 July (Monday) 
Day 3 of my uni hall camp!!!! Day 1 and 2 were mostly playing games but no pics sorrz.

Anyway apparently there is a thing in uni where we get paired up with someone of the opposite sex and go on a date (or double date) with them hahahaha. There's a lot more behind that la but idw to delve into details. they will pair you up with people with the same relationship status as you so it's not thaaat awkward.

so I got paired up with L and we went on a double date with his OG friend, whose date is my OG friend too la so that worked out well HAHAHA
Untitled
The guys paid for the cab fare to Orchard and we had lunch at Koh's Grill & Bar!!!! they also insisted on paying for the food bill and refused to let us chip in too wtf SO NICE ;_;

there were a bunch of side tasks (like take a selfie with a stranger) we could do w/ our SPs, so we spent the rest of the afternoon doing that around Orchard LOLOL
Untitled
Had to take pic with Haribo gummy also HAHA

heard of some awkward/bad stories about SPs from my other friends but I really enjoyed my time with the 3 of them!!!! thank u L for being so gentlemanly and spontaneous :-)))

Reported back to this function room at Novena at 5pm after our dates and was reunited with the rest of my OG!!! Watched some performances, had some beer (not me) and dinner there :-)
