// Flatlays //

If you follow me on other social media such as Instagram, you would had realized that this year had been a year which i kinda started doing flatlays. I'm still an apprentice and a major beginner at it, but i'm intrigued and totally in love with how pretty the images can turn out when they are place in the right combination, under the right lighting and with the correct background. 

I had been playing around with flatlay ideas with the sponsored items and had been thinking of a 'mini revamp' of my room to better suit the background and lighting issue of my photographs.

Needless to say, all images are taken with the very handy iPhone 6 which camera produces the clearest and prettiest photographs i had ever seen on any phones (as of now still).

Really upset with Samsung over my Samsung EX2F - the wifi application on my phone is no longer supporting this device/model! It's very frustrating because i only bought the camera 6 months from another girl and this had to happen. In any case, a collage of the photos i have 'attempted' to taken with no particular order to fill up my otherwise rarely updated blog

Dinner with the clique

After months of separation from one another, we finally had a decent full force 

meet up with everyone present hahah 

(whilst im typing this, im suffering from a horrible case of mosquitoes attacks in my room)

We had dinner over at Astons @ The Cathay. Loads of catching up as usual, as well as an intense session of meeting with Joey's new guy. 

I look like a super auntie with that plastic which was from some stores selling chinese herbs and medicine, but hey, we were exchanging gifts that night! Kinda way overdued, but we always had a tradition of a game of secret santa between the five of us and exchanging presents to spice up the entire Christmas mood.

Definitely had lots of laughs and giggles when we attempt to guess who's who secret santa and everyone's 'awww' look when we open up the present. 

Thanks Cassia for being my lovely angel this year! <3

Joey and Marc went off first because they had another place to visit as part of the super well-planned itinerary Joey did for his 4-days visit to SG. I went off first with the others as it was a Thursday so you know, can't stay out too late lah.

But we started taking selfies/wefies/pictures/camwhore on the way to Raffles Place because the train was so empty?! Cannot waste the chance hahahaha

& when we split into 'pairs'

Souvenirs and cards from the other girls <3

Its been a good 9 years since i know Joey and around 8 years since i know the rest. We were all from different classes (we were never in the same class at any one point of the time), and not even in the same Poly/JC, and now even in different countries for our universities. We don't talk regularly on whatsapp and it can be so dead quiet some times that i forgot i actually had a group in the first place.

But you know, i love how we are always there for one another. Whenever any one of us had trouble, we are always there. Regardless. Everyone would put their own inputs and show support no matter where they are and how busy they are. 

Kinda mushy lah, but i think this is the type of friendship which im really, really lucky to have and own in this lifetime. I used to think that 'the more friends the better', and 'i want to be one of those cool kids with millions of likes on instagram/facebook even when i post a picture of flowers'

But yeah, not saying that those are bad, but i think each of us should always have a group of such close friends whom you know you can always, always count on regardless of what happened.

I've seen and been in lots of relationships that comes and goes, but i'm still loving the best kind whereby you don't measure the quality of the relationship with the amount of communication and time you spend together. Heck, you don't even need to think the same.

But you know that even when you don't talk or meet up for goddamn long, you can still laugh and make the dead wake.

I've also finally, finally changed to a new phone! I had my iphone 4S as a birthday gift from my Uncle back during my Beijing times, but it had since started to act too cranky to my liking.

Yes, i bought the phone with my own savings.

Uucare Crown Antibacterial and Uucare Cool Technology

Sponsored Post

Hello ladies! Today i am going to introduce a product which is close to every girl's heart,, 

Sanitary Pads!

I remembered that when i had my first "Japan flag", i was in Primary 5. It was extremely weird and surreal for me to actually have to start going through this entire process for probably, a good 30 - 40 years of my life, depending on when the legendary menopause strikes.

But yeah, i remembered being helpless and disgusted by the term "period". It was definitely not one of the best feeling in this world, and i continue to be plagued by PMS, back-aches and severe cramps as the years zoom past. It's something which i have to go through regardless because i am born a female (not that i hate being one), but i can't help but wish that periods can get/be

EASIER

HYGIENIC

BREATHABLE 

NO CHANCE OF STAINS (Say yes to white shorts!)

What's more, do you know that by having proper menstrual care, you are actually decreasing any potential harmful effects to your body? & i can't emphasis on how important it is to love your body because always remember that 

So having said all these, i had been approached by Uucare recently - a company who takes pride in producing quality sanitary pads which are:

1. Antibacterial

2. Breathable and soft

3. Non flourescer (a type of whitening agent which means, chemicals)

To me, i feel that the first two points are really important because when i am having my period, i'm already releasing so much blood which really makes me feel sticky, gooey and most of all uncomfortable. 

& during times whereby i'm really busy, i would have to miss going to the toilet (longer than i would recommend to all girls who wears sanitary pads)

SO WHAT MAKES UUCARE SPECIAL?

Uucare has a patented funnel shape that allows faster absorption, and that's really, really important because feeling clean makes you feel happy! & happy means no PMS hahaha

Plus, i am the type of girls who have pretty heavy days at the beginning of the 'cleansing process' so i usually need to purchase more than 30cm in length and above, and the market doesn't really have too much choices for girls like me :(

So thank god Uucare has them! :)

Uucare's sanitary pads are ultra slim, cottony, soft, breathable, eliminate odors and keeps you dry for hours. In addition, its range of products consists of Crown Antibacterial

and UUcare Cool Technology, catering to the everyday needs of women. 

Liners – 150mm,
