Ladies Expo, Marina Bay Sands Expo 25-28Sept2014

Today I took a little trip to Marina Bay Sands to go check out their Ladies Expo (from 25-28Sept2014) organized by Exhibits Inc, a subsidiary of SPH (Singapore Press Holdings). 

I wasn't expecting much because the hall looked somewhat empty but there was enough foot traffic to pique my interest. 

After walking around, I ended up with a lot of discount coupons and flyers. About to call it a day and head back, two things caught my attention at this discreet store in the corner- 1) Le Specs, an Aussie brand  2) a hot black midi dress (of course they didn't have my size) 

I asked if the clothes were from independent Aussie designers and they were!!! The Wyld shop started as an online store that has now opened their first boutique in the heart of the CBD at Clifford center. 

I ended up walking away with 6pieces (1pair of pants, 1super sexy top, 1maxi dress and 3short dresses), any attempts to add color to my wardrobe was futile. I love all the pieces I bought and will definitely forgo lunch one of these days to check out the store! Damaged done- $400 poorer, 110% happier!


The little things that I got from a Luxola/theWyldshop goodie bag

Treated myself to an express manicure for $8 at the Nail Palace booth and bought a white nail polish at another booth.




Left for home happy and satisfied with my haul! 

TGIF tomorrow!

Why my posts are all food and scenery...

Today I asked my OH to take a nice picture of me so I could actually have a photo of myself in the Maldives with an amazing view behind me.



Big mistake:
Pic 1&2- I look like an ant in the general scope of things
Pic 3&4- my breasts look the same size as my sticky out belly. Typical no breast, all ass and a soft belly syndrome
Pic 5- I actually look nice and curvy! Face, all scrunched up...

When I asked for another picture, he is too hungry but not hungry enough to go back in, take the big camera and come back out again. 

Apparently I am not supposed to get mad at the fact that he hasn't learnt the art of photography and composition. And I guess i can't be so hard on him because he isn't the adoring, "take a dozen memories of my girlfriend doing everything" sort of guy. 

He takes awkward photos of me- funny faces, double chin, belly rolls, eating with my mouth wide open sort of pictures. Pictures which go in the "never to post" archive. Pictures which only he can appreciate...after all, he married me...

And since I have an aversion to too many selfies and the selfie stick, this is why you will never see pictures of myself on any form of social media. Or anything else for that matter, unless I go on holiday with a bunch of girlfriends or people who actually like photography or have a bit of know how. 

Till then, my memories are but a trace of scenery pictures and the foods I enjoy around the world...



Xoxo, the traveller without a face...:(
