Mulling over the three outfits to wear for my upcoming Ohdear! Photography - Natural Vintage engagement shoots in Nov which I had signed up three months back! It's gonna be a vintage and casual shoot so all I want is to wear something comfortable for me to pose with! I intend to wear something different, something unusual but I need a little push of courage to do it... so let's see if I can get nice stuff from Taipei. Taipei here we come in 3 more weeks! :)

A few months ago, I came across this fashion community: Chictopia where people all over the world dress to chic and post their shots. All sorts of styles can be found here. If you need some inspiration on dressing up, be inspired by the fashion divas here. Of course there were some who made fashion statement a disaster!

I'm still thinking if i should wear ruffle ankle socks paired with a pair of heels. It seems to be in trend now. That used to be my childhood love! Was it yours too?

Some looks here that I'm intending to explore. :)

What a nightmare to be sick

I woke up around 3am in cold sweat with my stomach feeling discomfort. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I struggled to get back to sleep only to find myself throwing up half an hour later. Around 5 am, I vomitted twice again. Yucks!

This time, I felt myself nauseaous and weaker all over. Went to see the doc around 9 plus and queued for almost an hour. It was a terrible waiting time and the last thing on my mind was to hit the sack. Doctor said maybe the buffet food I had previous night was unclean or I ate too full and I was given 2 days mc.. It puzzled me, the buffet I had was at TMC's anniversary dinner but the rest who ate the food were okay, except me. :(

I do not have such problems in the past. It occurs to me that I am getting old and needs to watch my diet. I just hope that such occurances will not happen during my TW trip! ^.^
