Chocolate!


Earlier I have won myself a Laurent Bernard 6pc Chocolate Gift Box from a blogger's contest. Went through a hell of a journey (walked for more than an hour to find the place) and I can say it's worth it. Just the perfect snack for sweet-tooth, like me. Simply indulgence!

For those of you who prefer bitter dark chocolate, maybe this box isn't exactly your taste, but you can give it a try. Each of it has its own filling, and I have tasted something like raspberry, or something fruity in it. Missed out the names and ingredients of the 6-pieces because I was all tired by the time I reached their outlet at Robertson Quay. This gift box costs about $20+, tad bit pricey, yet if you like chocolate that much, it's a try!








Well, I am generous enough to share this with him. Good things are meant to be shared, right! And he loves it too.

Pachelbel, Wild Chic (Classic yet Contemporary)

I was selected as one of the lucky three to review a newly launched collection from Pachelbel, renowned Singapore designer brand of Vegan Fashion. This new collection is called  "Wild Chic", and don't the name attracts you already. Yes for me, a lady in mid-20s. Combination of "Wild" and "Chic" somehow gives a connotation that this Wild Chic bag gives freedom in style and fashion. Practically, to me, this bag fits for all occasion and style. Love it to max!





It also has a flat hard base, that ensures that your bag can stand on its own as you leave it. No need to worry that your bag will slouch or end up laying on the floor. Besides that, this Wild Chic collection is improvised and comes at larger size. It has two exterior zipper compartments, and seven interior compartments, functioning like a built-in organizer. There's specific place for handphone, mini notebook, purse, umbrella, Ipad, files, etc. So no worry that things will get jumbled again. I love the fact that so much consideration has been put into the design and make it so practical for daily life use. 

Other than the above-said, one thing I must have for my bag is durability. Notice the metal ring holding the straps? it gives me extra assurance that the straps will hold all the weight. That's what I look for. I am the kind of person who can't leave the house without my water tumbler. And my smallest tumbler is at least 900ml, so imagine the weight of the water tumbler plus all necessary things I bring along each time I leave the house.

Speaking of which, this bag is made of jacquar material that is lighter than animal skin/leather bags. And of course, this bag require lesser care than leather (perfect for me because I don't really take extra care when using). This Black Jacquar also has fine details like the Pachelbel logo embroidery. So for those of you who are supporters of vegan fashion, you can try this designer brand.
 
This collection comes in five different colors, electric blue, hot pink, red, royal purple and jacquard black. So for those of you who prefers more vibrant color, fear not, you still get your pick. In summary, this bag can offer you so much that you can ask for; functionality, practicality, versatility, style, durability, and sustainability. Awesome, right!

Pictures time:







Fits any type of style or attire, agree?!

Verdict: Definitely worth the dollar, and endures with time and occasion.
p/s: I am already eye-ing on bags from other collections, like the M-Chic and Vow's. If only I have that much money in hand now, errgggg!!!

Introduction

Guess I don't have to go make any intro for the picture says it all.

Hi All,

Updating on my daily life here. Well, it's been a hell of a two weeks. I have started with my new/first/permanent job in the company above. (See if you're able to "google" the company!)

Verdict after two weeks: I wish I had not rushed into it and find myself a good company to start off. It's a small company, family-run business, so you can imagine the tauke-tauke controlling every single thing in the company = N.O. F.R.E.E.D.O.M. The job scope includes mundane tasks that require meticulous mind and extra-hours commitment (unfortunately, no extra pay), SO I don't think I can learn much here. Anyway, there's no time for regret now. Still very "blur" at work, and the person I'm replacing had left, so it's up to me on my own now. Pray hard I can make it.

Maybe you're thinking why don't I just leave and find another one. Well, credit that to my nationality and hassle of applying a work permit. I thought of it, but I have already gotten myself an in-principle work permit that time. I fear that if I reject/ withdrawn this application, there's probability that I cannot work here anymore. So that's why.

Stay on and preserve, that's the advice I gave myself!

Till then, more updates to come.

Pray for me that I will be all right.


Chaos.
