The Musings of Mei Wan.

This house is in Singapore. This house, called the Fish House, by Guz Architects blew me away. I couldn’t believe it was here. The architecture is gorgeous and I always love the woody, indoor-outdoor type feel. This is going to be a short post, cos i think the photos speak for themselves. All the houses I usually see around private estates never look as magnificent as this. But maybe they’re hidden somewhere from prying eyes.

this is in Singapore!! hahas sorry just can’t get over that fact.

Though I personally prefer apartments, and sure as hell wouldn’t mind a loft with a mezzanine as a bedroom, I would LOVE to be rich and famous and have this as a vacation home. HAHAHHAS.

Dreaming away, am i.

(Pictures from here!)

Yesterday, at exactly 9.15pm on a Thursday night, something in my life changed. A new chapter began and a very lonnnnggg old one closed.

I took the last academic exam I will be taking in hopefully a veryyyy longg time… at least 5-10 years. I’m finally graduating with a degreee!!

SO! my girls and i decided to celebrate :) We went for a late night dessert-fest, though yes it is insidiously sinful, it was something that had to be done. Hahas. Oh but before i move on, i’ve got to tell you that I was having a conversation on iChat with my friends and they started talking about MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE. It was inception. I was possessed by the one single idea. heh. if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll get it. Anyways, i was like… ooooohhh chocolate lava cake please please please please pleassseee.

(btw! if you want a FANTASTIC non-chocolate lava cake, PLEASE try the white chocolate raspberry something something molten lava cake. the first time i had it, my eyes literally rolled to the back of my head and i was in heaven for like 5 seconds)

Anyways! so we had our sugar fix at The Coffee Connoisseur and these are photos from our super fun dessert date.

This, is the Devil-Misu, which was very good, in my opinion, so sorry for the sucky photos, my iPhone isn’t that capable. Both Grace and Lynnette ordered this!

Audrey’s bread pudding, which was unfortunately kinda disappointing. As my other friends have told me, finding reallly good bread pudding in Singapore is not easy at all. I really wonder why, it seems so easy to make!

And ta–dahhhh this is the molten chocolate cake… sad to say, it wasn’t that special :( especially for the price i paid.

It looked amazing, but its taste could not live up to its looks.

Sad isn’t it?

Oh wells, i had lots of fun and laughter to accompany it, so i wasn’t bothered by it.

Lynnette decided to stay over at my place, finally… for once in her life, and we got home at 2am, watched The Blind Side and slept at 5am. We proceeded to awake and watch this incredible waste of time of a movie, called 14 Blade. Oh my goodness… for a Chinese Kung Fu movie featuring Donnie Yen, I expected better. All of it was just… too much. Too dark, too complicated of a plot, too much special effects, we were sooo drained!

So my parting note is … don’t watch that movie. Ok! time to sleep or do something unproductive with my SUPER SPARE TIME!!

Hot Yoga tmr at 1030am :D

She’s not one of those names that you immediately know, but i’m pretty sure you’ve seen her face around. Whether it’s in a big campaign for Ralph Lauren Vera Wang, D&G and Kenzo or one the runways at Anna Sui or Christian Dior, you’ve most definitely seen her.

Runway show at Anna Sui (can’t for the life of me remember what season)

Anyways, i recently saw a portrait session of her by Bruna Castanheira, whose work has such a natural feel to it. Well, i was also amazed by how gorgeous she was. I never really noticed. What was even more interesting was that she’s of indigenous Brazilian descent and that is freakin awesome.

And in case you weren’t sure what indigenous people from Brazil look like, cos i didn’t.

I love it when people are from their roots, and they’re so naturally beautiful because everyone you see in the industry nowadays is so made up and they’re trying so hard to look unique through whatever sort of ways, and yet there’s this girl who’s making it big and yet representing a group of relatively unknown people.

Here take a look, these are some of my favourite shots…

I love how she looks like a mix of everything, from caucasian to asian to indian to whatever.

Love it :D

Is not fun or easy..

It’s been a crazy past few days and I’ve been pretty much doing design work straight since Sunday.

I might have mentioned this before, but my team and I have been formulating a public relations campaign for our designated not-for-profit organisation. The ideas and the constant discussions and the total brain-frying has been frustrating and yet so much fun, it’s so awesome that we’re finally here. The entire project finishes up with a conference where all the different groups within this elective pitch their ideas to the judges.

We’re at the last stage where we share our brilliant, if i do say so myself :D, ideas with the “world” or rather just the 85 students who are gonna be present at the conference. I hope we do an amazing job!

This is us… in some group shots cos they needed to be put in a program booklet for the conference.

We look like an extremely screwed up family & gang from Hong Kong. You can just feel the drama and the scandals behind the photo. HAHAS.

Aww… Don’t we look sweet? We wanted to do a really bright photo that had like a “vanity fair” type vibe. That totally failed just because it was SUPER CLOUDY. goodness. Oh wells… we tried.

Alright, I gotta get up early and kick some conference ass :) Plus i would like to sleep… hahhas. <3 to all my group mates, we can do it!

Have a wonderful day or a great night!
