Pish-posh weekend

You must be thinking, "What the heck was Jean, this narcissistic b**ch doing, showing off gorgeous photos of her gorgeous self on her blog for the whole world to see?!!" Hehe.. well, let me tell you the whole story...

.

I was in London last weekend and had a truly truly wonderful time! JT had won a free makeover and photo shoot from a magazine competition and was allowed to bring 3 friends, so naturally, she brought JW, SY and me! Hehe.. It was so fun, rushing around, changing clothes, and posing in front of the camera.. the photographer was great and I felt great and so at ease, posing around as if I was a true model! I swear, this was what I was born to do! (Along with acting/singing/dancing of course! ;) ) Anyhoo, we had an absolutely fantastic time and I love my pictures! (Ok, there was a catch - we had to pay for the photos cos' of copyright and all.. but I don't care, I look absolutely fabulous and that's all that matters!)

.

Anyway, that aside, we had an absolute blast in London! Eating, shopping, meeting up with friends.. it was great! And... instead of shopping on good ol' Oxford Street, we actually ended up on Old and New Bond Street! And no, not just window-shopping and ogling at Cartier, Jimmy Choo, Gucci and other brands that I haven't even heard of! No, this time, we actually did shop.. Hehe, it was so cool ok, going around and being treated so well!

So what did I get? Well, actually, WS bought a lil' something for me.. I absolutely absolutely love it and hope that this is just the beginning of my collection! ;) Here it is:

Here's the little box and ribbon that it was wrapped in.. any guesses what this is?
.

Haha, you might have guessed it; Bond St + Blue Box = Tiffany's!!! Isn't the ring just absolutely gorgeous???!!!
.

This ring is actually from known as the 'Open Heart' ring from the Elsa Peretti collection at Tiffany & Co. (And these beautiful pictures are actually taken by a great photographer (and friend) Nik Qisti! You can find more of his work here!)
.

Needless to say, I'm extremely happy with this lovely present!! Hehe.. So happy, that I very impulsively but not regrettably, in a spur-of-the-moment bought him a present from one of the shops on Old Bond Street in return! Hehe.. I can't say what it is because I haven't even given it to him yet, so I ain't gonna spoil his surprise! You can ask me later.. ;)

I also met up with good friend PY, and her mum (who is a good and long-time family friend) who happened to be in London that weekend! It was really really great seeing such familiar faces and I was certainly reminded of home sweet home... JW and I stayed at HP's place in London, which was great cos' that meant we got to see her. Unfortunately, being the busy working lady that she now is, we didn't have that much time to hang out with her. Oh well.. at least we got to see her! Hehe..

Anyhow, all in all, this trip turned out to be absolutely fantastic and it was great to take a break and get away from all the hospital and school stuff! Plus, I got to have my yummy Japanese food and bought a mooncake all for myself (yippee!). What's the conclusion? I'm a happy girl!

This is one of the group pics we took.. don't we all look so good? (PS: If you see anyone you like, you're welcome to ask me for an introduction! ;) )

Finally, please do visit my online album here where you'll see that I've put up every single one of my photos taken on that day along with the group pics.. I truly hope you'll enjoy them!
