I finally decided to stop being lazy and uploaded the pics from my Xmas'12 and new years eve!!



Met the bestest for tea at Marmalade Pantry on xmas eve to catch up and exchange presents!



Then down to D's place for xmas potluck! Meet Milo, the fuzzy and super adorbs looking poodle ♥.♥



Super greedy face hahahaha

 
And this super silly dog is Donut! Friggin' cute too but i must admit i'm slightly biased so i still prefer Milo more hahahaha see the next picture!!!


Eeerrrmaaagaaawd so cute right!!!!! BRB DYING



"Come lets take a picture!!! Look at me look at meee!!
................Why don't you want to look at me???! :'("



After the potluck, the rest went for drinks while J and i decided to catch Jack Reacher! Not bad a movie, just a little draggy though?



But before that J passed me my huuuuggeee present!!! I can already guessed what's inside lor.... Surprise fail fail faaaiilll!!!



But i was happy anyway and i wasn't sure what was going on when we took the pictures below but i'm sure we weren't in the right state of mind hahahaha. Don't judge?




Went down to geylang for dim sum after the movie because J was hungry. Forever hungry one leh? But still so fucking skinny?? If i have his crazy appetite and eat as much as he does i think i would be the size of an elephant now......

NEW YEARS EVE

Because it was a good hair and make up day so these pictures deserve to be posted here hahaha. How often do you get good lighting and don't look retarded and chubby in candid photos?! Dinner at my favourite japanese restaurant again - Itacho Sushi!



Then it was Club Lava with the rest! Took like a million photos (as you can see below...... these were just a few from the bunch yups) before S surrendered to the alcohol hehehe




Yups that's about it. Hehe hope the pictures made up for my lack of updates!

I'm feeling really awful right now.... Have been feeling unwell since last sunday and today i spent most of my time in bed, not able to move because my head felt like it was gonna explode anytime and i just didn't have the strength to. So sick of taking pain killers, flu meds and chinese meds every day zzzz. Just yesterday, my parents brought me to try my first ever acupuncture because my neck and shoulder hurts like fuck but halfway through the session, i felt really giddy and the sinseh had to remove all the needles from my shoulder :( I feel so weak every day it's killing me UGH!!!!!!!

Anyone has any remedy for muscle aches/stiff neck???

I know some of you out there may have heard or shopped at Dressabelle before and you guys know that i've been modelling for them for a couple of months now and i really enjoyed each shoot with them!

One thing i love most about Dressabelle is that they manufacture most of their clothings and the fabric and workmanship is really good that it is comparable to those you see in the boutiques out there. They call it the "Dressabelle Quality Promise", always ensuring good quality and at the same time, making sure that their products are affordable.



Here are just some picks from their recent collections that i really like!


Scallop Edged dress


Eski dress, left (super love bling blings on the dress!!)
Leather Peplum blouse, right


Layered Sheaths blouse, right
(mad love this top!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO HAVE THIS IN THEIR WARDROBE.)
Floral blouse, left

They are also selling some accessories on their site now and here's one that caught my eye!


Black Gem necklace

Oh and just last week after the shoot, we had a fitting for their upcoming manufactured items! So much fun! I never knew to manufacture something, you have to take note of every single detail from the neckline to the sleeves to the waist to the hem yada yada.... Sooo much work but they are all so dedicated to what they are doing just to provide you girls good quality and pretty clothes!



Pssst! Sneak peek of an upcoming skirt and dress!!!

All the items are Dressebelle (DSB) labelled and are catered towards all the ladies out there. They are your perfect first stop when you are looking for stylish work chic clothing. Plus their items all comes in sizes and multiple colours!!

To all my chinese readers out there, CNY is coming soon so..... This is your perfect timing to buy new clothes! And to the non-chinese readers, unleash your feminine side today and get yourself some dresses (or the layered sheaths blouse!) ;)

1st Jan 2013

It feels weird typing the date but hello to a brand new year, i'm definitely ready to embrace 2013!!!

We've overcome all obstacles we met last year, we made new friends, we lost some of them, we quarrelled with our love ones and then made up with them. We met new work opportunities, we strived, we succeeded on certain things but failed some too. Oh and we survived the supposedly end of world. It was a crazy crazy year for me and i'm so goddamn grateful for everything that happened.


2012 was the start of everything new. I graduated with my diploma FINALLY. I received jobs one after another. I felt appreciated and loved and i was really happy with what i am doing. I overcame my fears and took part in my first ever competition - Elite Model Look 2012. I went through the casting, the semi-finals, the finals and won the title of 'Look of Make Up Store'. I learnt so, so much throughout that short period, and it gave me so much memories that i'll never forget in this lifetime. I met some new (pretty awesome) friends and i received so much love from you guys that i never thought i would have

I wouldn't say there was a huge change in my life last year but overall, it was a good year and i'm so thankful for every single thing that happened, i really am. Hell i would even say that it was the best year i had as compared to the past few years. If i could, i really wanna give each and every one of you who had made me smile, who gave me chances when other did not believe in me a hug. Sometimes i feel that i don't deserve what i've gotten so far, not because i'm leading the perfect life, i'm not but i'm contented with what i have right now and i feel so blessed.

This year, 2013, i know things wouldn't be the same anymore, especially work-wise, but i'm looking forward to see what's in store for me. Hopefully it would be as smashing, or maybe even better than it was last year. I'm really crossing my fingers on that!!!

I know a lot of you have been asking me why i'm appearing less on blogshops and to simply put it, it's because i'm moving on. I wanna challenge myself to things i've always dreamed to do, to become - a model so now i'm depending on my agency to help me with it so... wish me luck! I definitely miss all of you and all the shops i worked for before, SO SO BAD that i even cried about it, but rest assured that i'll always be here still and you guys will still see me around! Reading all the comments you guys left on my formspring really made my day every day, it made me felt so loved and i'm really touched by all of it!! So to all of you reading this, Thank You ♥


I know i will miss 2012 a lot but we all have to move on and be ready to take on whatever that's coming our way. Today's the start of the first page of a 365 page book. Let's write a good one this year. X


Love, Francesca.

MERRY XMAS!!!!!!! *throws confetti*


Ok first thing first, i'm gonna pick the 2 lucky readers who joined my xmas giveaway now! Because christmas is on the 25th, so i'm gonna pick the 2nd and the 5th person who commented and they are................ *drumrolls*



Congrats babes!! I've sent both of you an email so please check your inbox for more details and reply me to acknowledge within 24hrs else another winner will be picked ok!

To be honest, even though the response for my first ever humble giveaway (hehe) isn't that great but i'm still really really happy reading all the comments you guys left. It's such a nice feeling and it made me smile every time i read a new comment :) How i wish i can get invites for every single one of you :( But nonetheless, i hope all of you had a good time feasting, partying and exchanging presents!!! Are you guys ready for the new year already?

Anyhooo i will update this post with pics later! Poor me gotta sleep now and get up early later for work! I really feel like typing out a thank you slash mushy speech to all of you here but i guess i will leave that to later when i'm doing my end of 2012 post hahaha ok love love goodnight! :*

Loving the weather nowadays!!! It was so cold on Sunday so i decided to throw on a scarf before heading out to meet my favourite girl in the world for din din!



Meet Elinor :)

So anyway, MooJaa kindly invited me to try their new Thai BBQ steamboat, also called Mookata, and i decided to bring E along since i know she loves mookata! Hehe plus it's the perfect weather now to have BBQ steamboat right!!!!




We had a set for 2 and omg just look? They have scallops, abalone slices and CHEESE BALLS!!!! E who tried several mookata before told me that other mookata restaurants don't have these items so i was quite happy with MooJaa's menu! The cheese balls were the highlight of the night really, when i had my first bite into them, the cheese literally squirted out. Do yourself a favour and order them when you're there ok? :D



The difference between the mookata and the normal chinese BBQ steamboat is that the grill is in the middle while the soup is surrounding it. So the juices from the grilled meats will trickle down into the soup, giving it a really good flavour at the end. Super yums!!! Meh doing this post makes me kinda hungry -____-



We spent like 2 hours+ in the restaurant stuffing ourselves silly and came out feeling really bloated but so happy! I once dined at another mookata restaurant and i wasn't so wow-ed by it... It was just "meh okay i won't say bad but i will never come back again..." kinda experience for me but this time round at MooJaa, i really enjoyed the food (SO MUCH), the service and the whole ambiance there that i told Jens that i wanna bring him there someday and let MooJaa changed his perception about mookata too hahaha



Well now since i had my share of yummy comfort food, i really want to do something for you guys this Christmas so i'm going to invite 2 lucky readers to dine at MooJaa for FREE! All you have to do is:

1. Like MooJaa's Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/MooJaa.sg

Anyway! Introducing y'all one of online shops that i think all of you should look out for - Nolipservices! Even if the clothes they sell are not your cup of tea (which is almost impossible), i bet the models are. Eye candies to the max hehehe



Frigging love this Zara inspired studded top!!!

I wore this out during dinner the other day and someone said to me "this one from Zara right? nice sia i'm thinking of buying it too". I swear i was so happy to hear that! Exact same piece retailing at Zara for... $89.90 i think? Hehehe sucha steal ^_^

So anyway after i was done with shooting the above, we went to my new favourite Japanese restaurant - Itacho Sushi at Ion!!!! Just thinking about it makes me wanna have some wagyu beef sushi.........



Wagyu beef sushi!!!!! First time trying it and i LOVED it ♥.♥

We ordered a lot more but i was SO busy eating. Sometimes i wonder where's my monster appetite from? Meh. The bill came up to almost $90 in the end. Just imagine how much the 2 of us ordered???!!?



Here's just a act cute pic of J. Hehehe.

Anyway there will be a mini flea this Saturday at TheScarletroom's office from 1-7pm (click here). Supposed to be there together with Amanda and the owner, Annie to sell our clothes (YUP i know all of you have been waiting!!!!!) BUT....... I've to be at Scape for The Juice Market for a Maybelline show. Which means i can't sell all my bags of clothes that i've already prepared anymore UGHHHHH

Sigh honestly wishing the flea could be pushed back so i can go for both and meet all of you! :( :( :( :( But even so, it's not something you wanna miss cause a little birdy told me that there will be items from Zara, Topshop and some high end brands AND past TSR collection products!

However if you will be in town on Saturday then do come down to scape and support the Maybelline event :)
