Who says you can’t get valentine’s day gifts for yourself? I get myself presents every year during Valentine’s and this year, I bought some pretties from Soap ‘n Sorbet. I have read about this new online shop selling extremely gorgeous beauty products from Makeup Stash! a few weeks back. Looking at the beautiful product catalogue with brands like Tokyo Milk and Lalicious, who can resist?
My pretties from Soap n Sorbet
For the nth time, I succumbed to temptation and ordered the famous Steam Creams and Tokyo Milk Rosewater Lip Balm. I have read really good reviews about the multi-purpose steam creams which can be use on the face, hands and body. Besides that, it comes in the most adorable packaging. I ordered one of the limited edition Steam Cream Cute as a Bunny Gift Set which contains the Porky Rabbit and Grace tin designs. I kept the rabbit tin and gave the other one to my sister for her birthday. 
Thumbs up to Soap ‘n Sorbet for their wonderful packaging and efficient delivery! My orders arrived via registered postage nicely sealed and packed in a sturdy box 2 days after I had placed my orders. Everything was bubble-wrapped carefully and they also included 2 samples of their perfumes and hand creams.

I’ve to say this new year started off in the least expected way. I guess some Snarkers like Cherlynn or Chien would know, it is not something I wish to repeat again. My mood has mostly been on the gloomy side the entire week. I managed to cheer myself up by doing some retail therapy and this was what I ordered from Forever21.
Tank tops are my favourites and did I mention the fact that I’m a jacket/sweater collector now? Forever21 has the most gorgeous outerwear! It makes me wish we have winter in Singapore. 
I haven’t been shopping much other than that and nothing exciting in my life either. School has been busy. I’ve lots of revisions and assignments to catch up before my final mocks in March and I’m trying to squeeze out some time to do my revision. Speaking of which, I think I’ve a low level of tolerance towards school related issues lately.
There’s this particular lecturer that I absolutely cannot stand at all. I just wish he will stop bragging about how good he is. He’s not approachable (and I think that’s an extremely serious problem if you are a teacher), unfriendly and shows a bad attitude to his students. I would describe him as one of the most “insufferable” lecturers I’ve ever came across. When will he ever know that giving the wrong answer doesn’t mean that one is not listening in class? I gave up asking questions in class because he does not answer my question at all. He goes on and on about his own way of solving the question and did not give me a satisfactory reply. I find it a waste of time to post questions in class since I wouldn’t get a reply that answers my question anyway. He’s too persistent on the fact that his way of solving the question is always right.
The fact that he brags about how good his answer and his notes are in every single lesson makes me want to puke. I have to say his notes aren’t one of the greatest. I’ve seen way better notes produce by others but then again, it’s subjective since others may find his notes good. All I wish for is for him to stop showing this “know-it-all-best-lecturer-in-the-world” attitude in class. It’s frustrating for me to see the way he condemns a student because he or she can’t answer one of his questions.
He dislike students talking in his class which is understandable but here’s the problem, he once said “If you are talking about the question, you can ask me. If you are talking about anything else, please get out of the class.”. I understand the latter but why aren’t we allowed to ask the one sitting beside us about the question we are working on if you don’t understand his explanation? I don’t see the point in asking him the question again since like I said, he won’t give us an answer/explanation to our question.
Dear Mr. Lecturer, just in case you don’t know, we are not in the army. We do not have to reply “Yes, sir” loud and clear every time you asked a question. We are not your soldiers and you don’t command me to do anything. You asked a question, we reply (that’s if we wish to) but stop insisting us to reply like we are in the army! Have you ever read the feedback forms we left for you? Maybe you should since I think it will do you good. Having years of experience in the teaching industry doesn’t make you a good lecturer and showing that “I-am-king” attitude in class doesn’t make us respect you either.
I just arrived in Singapore a few hours ago from my trip to Kuala Lumpur and here’s a post dedicated to my shopping haul. I really love the sales at Etude House, it’s so much cheaper than buying the same products in Singapore. I’ve a few new tops and jackets as well but I’m too lazy to take photos of them now. I think the extremely cold conditioning system in school constantly reminded me to shop for new jackets. 
By the way, I am finally a proud owner to a dwaeji tokki from You’re Beautiful.
