Dempsey / Visual Mass

Met Aug last Friday for a meal. Don't know if I should call it lunch or dinner because that was our first meal and it was close to 6pm.

Anyway, I've finally managed to make a trip to Dempsey! It's probably my favourite place in Singapore. I don't mind having a house there and I'll just stay in for the rest of my life to prove my love for it. Nah, kidding. Haha.

Just in case you'd like to know where Dempsey Hill is located at, it's situated at the idyllic Tanglin Village opposite the Botanic Gardens along Holland Road. You'd probably have to take a cab up the hill if you're as lazy as us though.

So after deliberating over what to eat for ages, we've decided on having Dome.


Wasn't exactly the best meal I've ever had, but it was above avg. Besides, I have to credit them for their perfect Avocado smoothie, which was served to me within 5 minutes. Seems impressive to me.


This guy is too wishy-washy. Took forever to decide on what to eat as usual, even though he texted me beforehand about his massive craving for burgers.



What's a western meal without my fav Aglio Olio? 


Anyway, we then left the diner for a mini photo-taking session thereafter.


Have you guys heard of this online store called Visual Mass? Bet most of you did, otherwise you must be living under a rock!




Have you ever dread walking into an optical store? I definitely hate accompanying my dad and watching him spend hours searching high and low to pick out a pricy frame that would be chucked aside after a week or two.

If you think you are not able to grab a pair of amazing glasses at a good price, you'd love what I've gotta share with you about VM today.

Visual Mass is the first online web-store where you can purchase your frame and lenses at one go. They are mainly an online optical boutique that prevails a whole new concept of eyewear shopping experience.

When you first arrive at their webpage, it automatically attracts you just by the simplicity in the design they have chosen. Apart from the site design, the glasses are amazing. You can expect designs of all sorts, ranging from the casual black and turtleshell frames to those vintage pair that you'll hunt for. I've got to stress on the price of these quality eyeglasses. They are really affordable compared to any other spectacle boutiques you find across the street or in shopping malls! Price range - Frame $30 - 50, Lens $50.

AND......

I'm so thrilled that I've actually gotten my hands on two of the eyewear from their latest collection! Hehe. I chose a pair of shades and a normal specs.

I have to mention how much I love their wooden casing btw! It's so unique! You can get it when you purchase a lens! It's really light, so you can carry it anywhere and everywhere.


I've this crazy obsession for really cool shades, and I always love wearing sunnies since a very young age!


I actually got myself a similar pair previously from overseas, but it's kinda ruined now... I mean what's new? Nothing's NEVER ruined in my hands; Well, at least that's what my dad claims.


Unlike other ordinary shades you get at $5 from e.g Bugis st, you pay for what you get! 

The main characteristics of VM Lens:

SCRATCH PROTECTION
HIGH CLARITY
ANTI STATIC DUST-FREE
NON-SMUDGE
ANTI-REFLECTIVE
UV PROTECTION






Weekly arrivals every Wednesday at 8pm!

I got this specs just for fun! I mean why not? Tt's pretty camwhore-worthy right?


Just a tip if you don't already know, due to all our different face shapes, we have to pick specs/shades according to their frames and whether or not they match the shape of our faces.

And it's important to pick one that doesn't cover your eyebrows, otherwise that's when you know it's too big for you!

If you've an oval face shape, lucky you! Cos it goes well with most frames! If you've a circle face, angular and geometric frames will help to sharpen your facial features, whereas rectangular and horizontal styles make faces appear longer and thinner.

First day of school / Whiteclothes

Surprisingly, I didn't have to drag myself out of bed today, but my body clock's undeniably screwed...... Hence, I had the worst time of my life last night trying to force myself to sleep even though I was hell exhausted. Not even kidding. It was like a battle between my brain and brain. If that even made any sense. Whatever.

Waking up at 7am everyday will soon turn into something I dread doing, especially if it's for school. Well, at least my first day wasn't that bad after all; Was punctual even though I was caught in some shitass jam, and at least it wasn't a lesson of Math. 

I kinda enjoyed myself, but it would've been better if I didn't have to constantly pinch myself to keep myself awake. Sounds pretty brutal, doesn't it?

Anyway, I'm glad that my lesson ends at 12 today. So I was accompanied by two new friends to Cathay for lunch!

Here's what we had! Maki San!!!


 Although it was a little pricey, it was really good and most importantly, it filled our stomachs!! By the way, that's just my box alone.

Not only can you design your own sushi, they've like loads and loads of salads for you to choose from too. It's somewhat like Subway, just that it's sushi instead.

The Cathay, 2 Handy Road 
#B1-17/18 Singapore 229233 (Dhoby Gaut MRT), 
Tel: +65 6737 8772

Opening Hours: 11:30am – 9:30pm Daily

Just take the escalator down from the entrance and you can see it! I foresee myself heading there quite often for the next couple of weeks. He he.

Anywhere here's what I wore!!!


Thanks to WhiteClothes for this really elegant, Asymmetrical maxi dress! I fell head over heels the moment I saw it.


It's really plain and simple, but I love how sophisticated the cutting is. Just pair it up with some accessories and you're ready to go!


Although it's black, and the sun wasn't doing us any justice today, I must say I didn't perspire much because the material's really thin and comfy!!!


Walked over to my dad's office after jamming at SOM for a drink and to finish up my work, while waiting for him to finish up his before coming back home together.



I've also chosen this Houndstooth overall that I could wear out for any occasion! It's really versatile and it's all just about playing around with your accessories, like the previous item. 


And the waist and bust areas are stretchable! You know the best part of wearing loose tops is when you're gonna whack a crazy amount of food that day. Lolol



Really pleased for receiving my items really quickly as well!


This is the "You win, I've nothing else to say" pose. Hahaha


THEIR MEGA BDAY LAUNCH HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED!!!




So hurry grab your items before they are all sold out!

BEST PART?

Update / WardrobeMess

How has your day been so far for you? Mine was just...... Definitely not one of my better days. Woke up on the wrong side of bed today and I haven't been in the best of mood ever since. I feel so tired and despondent from a week of mess, but the scorching hot sun seems to be opposing how I feel.

Have been packed with so many things and events since this will probably be my last week to enjoy (don't know how's that enjoying myself, sounds more like a torment to prep me for hell) before school begins in less than 48 hours for me. Finally, after 8 months long of holiday. Still contemplating if I should call for a celebration, or just spend the last few hours sobbing in bed. 

Just in case if you're still clueless about where I'd be schooling at, I'm actually gonna spend my next 3 years studying Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) To clear some your doubts; I'm taking up Arts Management. It's somewhat similar to business management, just that I'll specialize in arts in this case. And yes, this is what I want. I've already decided to come to NAFA even before I sat for my O levels' papers. 

I'm not sure if there are still stereotypes around that have something against people who chose to pursue Arts, but I just wanna say that...... This is what I wanna do and hopefully, turn into what I love doing as well, and my parents are really supportive of it. That's all you've to know and bear in mind.

Still having mixed feelings about starting school. After all, I'm still used to squandering all my time, going through yet another unproductive day over the last 8 months. However, the good thing to look forward to would definitely be how things could finally fall into place. The last half a year was way too happening, it's time to settle down. Besides, I've already made a couple of nice friends during orientation. I'm ready to embark in my new life and embrace the hardship ahead. (Not exactly)

.

Anyway, let's not dwell too much on how torturous my week has been! I've been stocking up A LOT of clothes for school, because I'm afraid I might be too packed to shop once school starts. (doesn't really seem like a legit reason to spend shit load of money lol) And thanks to my great sponsors, I could lighten that burden a little.

Introducing WardrobeMess to you today!


I love blog shops that sell pretty outerwear! Like I've mentioned a zillion times, having a few outerwear in your closet can be perfect on days when you're too lazy to dress up. Just put on a basic top underneath, throw on the outerwear and you can set off!


Got myself this cardigan in lilac. Really simple, but I love how it's oversized and has this droopy effect on the the sleeves.


Cute, and it's great how it's not too thick nor too thin for the usual weather.



Second's this spag jumper. Okay, it's not exactly a jumper...... It's like a dress with shorts underneath it. So what do you call it? I know for skirt-shorts they call it skorts, but what's this? Dreshorts? Lolol.

Whatever it is, I'm super amazed by how it's designed! No more need more safety shorts that look like em' grandma panties haha. 


Besides, I'm soooo in love with the colour! Makes me so happy, I don't know why.


Paired it up with a maroon knitted sweater.


Last but not least, this was an extra piece they've kindly sent to me along with the top two pieces that I've picked! How sweet.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pull off it off because of its flower design, I mean after all you guys should know by now I'm not a girly-girl person. 


Who knew it actually didn't turn out as bad as I thought! In fact, I really like it! Its length and cutting fits well and it has adjustable + removable strips!


You can actually pair this up with a denim jacket for an edgier look.


Have I mentioned how efficient they were?! I received my items the following day after I told them what I wanted!


At least this made my week a little better; waking up to nice clothes from amazing blogshops as such. He he.
