So recently I worked at an event held at Knightsbridge Orchard, and it was for the HTC Rhyme launch. It's a new ladies phone by HTC. Quite cool!!

Was there for 2 days. Had to report at 11am. Event started proper at 12pm and ended at 9pm. IT WUZ CRAZY. Super tiring trying to get ladies to come to the booth (even as we were giving away free manicures, nobody dared step up) for the whole 9 hours. Finally it's over!

Anna and some other friends came by to look for me too! :D So sweet of them! Big <3 to all.. My boyfriend also came to pick me up from work at 9pm both days and had dinner with me before sending me home. He's the best!!!! :)

I really miss these 2 girls!! Hope we get to work together sometime soon.

Finally, I also headed down to Strip to enjoy a complimentary brazillian wax just two weeks ago! They're promoting a campaign that's related to PETA, for the UNFURGIVABLE battle against fur!

They were so generous and even gave me a pair of havaiinas (is this how I spell it? whatever - it's the slippers) and the tube thing that allows me to punch pretty trinkets on them! Thank you for your generosity Strip!

Much love,

Aimee!

hey everybody :) i know it's been so long since i blogged about something personal, but today i just feel like doing this! and honestly not blogging about personal things is a good thing, because more often than not it's usually something bad that you need to get off your chest or even something so bad that makes you wanna count your blessings. whatever it is, this time it's good :)

my boyfriend and i have been together for almost a year and 5 months now! time really flies when you stay with someone past the one year mark. as a one year mark virgin, i can fully attest to that :)

so what do i love about my boyfriend? i found myself arriving to 6 key things when i was walking home today.

1. he changes for me. i don't know about the past, but in the recent months, i've felt that he really takes into consideration the things that i say i don't like, or when i argue with him. these little things can range from something petty to something huge that means alot to me. and he really tries to listen and give in to me. for example, when i say i want to eat something, he'd try to bring me there and make sure we have it. he'd also come by to wherever i am (eg, MBS over the weekend) to see me and have a meal together, after which he'd accompany me halfway to the east where my dinner was. and he'd pick me up when i insist that i have many bags to carry, even though his mom needs to use the car (okay this i'm not very proud of myself, because it's her car! but i didn't know that, cos my boyfriend said he would take a bus to meet me.) and many other things. he calls and texts frequently after i complained that he doesn't. he'd also always ask if he's getting too boring, or what i don't like about him. he didn't use to be thaaaat cooperative hehe so it's really nice now that he's being so sweet.

2. he needs me, and he's not afraid to show it. he's always hugging me when he gets the chance. it's really nice to have affirmative actions like these. we all need someone who needs us in return, don't we?

3. he makes me feel good about myself. just the other day i was saying how i needed to lose some weight and my boyfriend just said to me, "why do you need to lose weight? you're an attractive 22 year old. you don't have to be stick thin to be beautiful cos you already are" -- it's things like these that make me feel like i'm so lucky to have someone who feeds my soul with words of encouragement. some guys don't care cos they think you're fishing for compliments; others have good intentions but don't know how to say it. i think i'm lucky my boyfriend takes what i say as real concerns instead of brushing them away :)

4. he confides in me and listens when i do. although he can try to confide MORE.. ahaha

5. he always insists that he should be the one paying. it's not so much the money saving on my part but the chivalry i get from this. because he knows that i work really hard for my own money giving tuition and doing events, and he thinks that it is the guy's responsibility to pay i guess. i find this very admirable. but of course, i sometimes share it cos it's not very fair right? if we both have the earning power then maybe the girl can pay a little too!

6. he forgives me for my mistakes. he doesn't come down to hard on me, and lets go of the subject when he knows i've learned my lesson. (sounds like a father)

also, what's a blog post without some pictures? wanna share some of the pictures that reflect us very well:

of course, first we start out smiley and all..

then when i run out of ideas and poses, i'll turn away from the camera instinctively and just kiss him on the cheek.

after a while i wondered why it's always ME kissing him in photos and not the other way round?! (in reality he always kisses me more lor LOL oops guys dont like to be known as the more lovey one ya??)

tried to force him but he's got his elbows firmly rooted to the table! damn!

barely succeed. sian. why you always like that?!

good times..

better times..

sleepy times..

celebrating our 6th month playing train conductor at starbucks :D

celebrating my birthday :D

brunch at heart bistro..

silly boy trying on shoes..

pretending to sleep..

being retarded together..

so many pictures! i can't load them all.. :( i hope i don't lead anyone to think that i'm showing off about how awesome my boyfriend is. i just wanted to share something personal on my blog. plus i'm sure there are many great guys out there! you just need to find one you like :) and i wish you all the best!

Love, Aimee

yippee!! just received another pretty bag from MissyLemon.com! teehee... one bag a month from the lovely owner is such a luxury for me! cos i no longer have to shop for bags :D plus, her bags are really of good quality and the designs are soo up to date. loves it!! :)

this month, i chose the Wanderlust Bag:

isn't it cute?! i love the shape of this bag. it's petite looking but still roomy enough for you to stash all your much needed accessories! the exterior is REALLY luxe too and i just love how the folds on the lighter beige part of the bag makes the shape of the bag so cute!

i just found out that it's actually a miumiu inspired piece!!

love the way Sienna Miller carried it! impeccable style. i just LOVE trend reports on her cos she's so original!

lovely ain't it?? NOW GO ON TO MISSYLEMON TO VISIT FOR MORE AWESOME STUFF TOO! here are some of my other picks this month:

this lovely darling is sold out though :( initially i'd wanted this one as it's more roomy. but luckily i chose the other, cos i really have wayyy too many big bags!

Love, Aimee!

an iPad

so bad (hey it rhymes! must be a sign!)

that iPad

is my Dad's

rhyming again teehee.

okay sorry for the cheesiness guys. i've been wayyyyy to busy to update my blog! haven't been having an amazing social life as of late due to my crazy commitments to school, tuition kids, and Chop. i've stopped doing events for now and will only continue in December (unless there are those that are low commitment then maybe) cos i really need to get my grades back up there! it's like my second last sem. can barely wait. don't quite know what's in store though, it's half exciting yet half scary!

you know, sometimes i wonder why i have to study so hard, because grades hardly matter to me right now. i know that i could get a job from referrals and stuff and the slow and competitive way of getting a job through sheer merit is really kinda outdated (and slow) right now. and because i can earn money from doing events and stuff i really don't see how school should be my first priority (it IS my first priority but right now i am contesting that fact). sometimes we humans just get so greedy, you know? we see a good opportunity to earn some money and we dive right into it. but school can value-add in such better ways. sometimes i wish i could stop being so distracted, like just study hard damnit you're paying for school fees! i don't know. and then there's this huge part of me that has tons of ideas to develop Chop and really put my knowledge to use but i don't want to start yet cos it's only going to be a half hearted attempt if i start now. so i was thinking.. december maybe?

i wish i had so much time and many more of me to go around!

boohoo. one of those whiny saturdays. hope you guys have been well!

much love to go around,

Aimee :)

A couple of weeks ago, I invited a friend, Melissa, who was my Seventeen Magazine Queen of Queen's 2010 fellow pageant contestant (and winner!) to come by Chop for a meal! She was saying that she wanted to come by, and so I duly invited her! She came with her boyfriend, and it was a great chance for us to catch up. They're so entertaining and we all had a good time! My boyfriend taught him how to make a coffee with the coffee machine too. Here's her actual blog post:

"I’ve got a food review I’ve been dying to share with everyone:

very chill setting. perfect for a date with your significant other. or even with a big group of friends as a get together.

This is one of the best milkshakes i’ve had, honestly. Not too heavy or sweet. Somehow not into vanilla or chocolate milkshakes anymore because it fills you up real fast. This was a mixed berries smoothie 

(yippee!! my fav too :D i drink this EVERY SINGLE TIME i go there. my friends have had RAVE reviews about the drink too. mixed berries smoothie ftw!!!)

Jon loved his ice lemon tea too! 

this was the mixed platter we could choose from.

and here’s a close up:
my sambal sausages! LOVEEEEE THIS ONE! I think Jon couldn’t stop raving about the sambal sauce.

mixed wedges!

it could be complimented with sour cream and bacon bits! i’m not a fan of sour cream though so I had my wedges with ketchup.

The duck salad was amazing!!!!! This is definitely a must try.

Jon doesn’t eat mushrooms, so I had this all to myself! One of my top favourites! MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!!!! The melted cheese on top made it so perfect.

You’ll be spoilt for choice:

In addition to all that, we shared a roast beef sandwich. I’m definitely gonna order again when I go back.

there’s melted creamy cheddar cheese inside! NOM NOMZ.

Hopefully, I’ll get to try their other sandwiches too! 

ended my meal with the waffle which was oh-so-delicious! i was almost at my brim. I had to loosen my belt but I could not stop eating. @JonathanRaedeke could not stop laughing at me. But seriously he was worse. He had to pull his pants up to his waist so his fats will not spill over. NOW TELL ME WHO’S WORSE? Spilling over fats or just ONE BIG TUMMY?

If you’re looking for a place to pass time in the afternoon, over a cup of coffee. CHOP has one of the coolest coffee makers ever! Maybe I’m just sua ku but I was really impressed that the coffee was just not like any other ordinary machine made coffee. Jon was experimenting with it, and it actually turned out really yummy! I’m not a fan of coffee, but I must say, this one is really pretty good.
Lijia, I don’t know what I ordered but pls make the same thing for me if I need coffee when I go back the next time okay? This is the only other kind of coffee I will drink other than Espresso. (which i usually gulp down like medicine).

Steaming the milk

Btw, they do serve brunch too. And it’s apparently really popular on weekends! 

To get there (Key in your GPS the following):
16 Chun Tin Rd, Bukit Timah, Singapore 599603 ·
If you know where the stretch of Indian Prata shops like Al Ahmeen is, it’s really closeby!  I used to frequent that area for supper when I was staying in hall.
If you’re lost, call them:
64694862
