SHOP IN THE ARK; MY WEIGHT AND I

May 19, 2013 , 4:20:00 PM


The Ark aims to bring you affordable apparels that look trendy, 
chic and eye-catching, befitting any occasion
The Ark launches a brand new collection every other week so you can expect tons of new and some of the latest designs which are hot in the market!!!
What I like about The Ark are that most of their pieces are 'effortlessly-chic' ! 
You don't have to spend hours thinking about what to match your pieces with as they're either good to go on its own or just pair it up with simple basics there you have it, a complete outfit!!! :) 

Here are some of my personal favorite from their webstore,
Eyelet Shorts, SGD $22.90
Looks really comfy and I couldn't love the little cut-out eyelet detailing any more that I do now.
Adds a really nice touch for a pair of ordinary black bottom :) I can see myself donning this pair of 
shorts on days where I need a pair of black shorts... but just a basic black pair might seem a little boring? Have you ever gotten days like that? Hahaha, I do.. and pretty often in fact! 
I'm sure this pair would do just the right trick and save you on those days ;)

Houndstooth Pencil Skirt, SGD $22.90
 Nothing could go wrong would with this skirt! Just pair it up like how The Ark did with a basic white tee for that edgy and casual look, or you can spice it up with a black peplum and accessorize for a 
more formal look if you happen to be heading for a dinner or something? A great versatile piece!
 White Burnt-Out Floral Tee, SGD $22.90
Out of my personal favorites, this has got to be the one I love the most!!! 
I know it looks like a basic white tee but I absolutely ADORE the eyelet detailing all over it!
Amazing how such little details can make a huge difference to an ordinary white tee and the best part is this goes with almost ANYTHING! Perfect for layering under your outerwear, overalls etc.. 
And the material is not even thick so it's the perfect basic top for this season
A.MUST.HAVE!

some visuals from a shoot I did recently with Tammy for Ohsofickle which I'm sure quite a few
of you would have seen alreadyyy


Bwahahah, I know I don't look exactly as (body) flattering whilst 'modeling' omgggg I won't even say I was modeling la. More like posing for the clothes hahahaha
Here's a candid and unglam shot of me hahahahahahaha it's damn classic.. my face.. 

 Okay and I would have to admit, this shoot was definitely a wake up call for me to stop being lazy and to go on a strict workout+diet. I knew I was.... big, but not as big till I saw the pictures. OMGGG
I mean apart from the pics which I don't look fat in I honestly don't even dare to open or look at the pictures for more than like.. 3seconds?
Not to mention the response I got, be it on ask.fm or even my parents hahahahaha, almost all was a slap on the face. Come to think of it, I don't know why I so confident to pose till so happy hahahaha

I think 90% of the comments I got from the shoot (online or offline) was amongst the lines of either
I gained weight, I need to lose weight or....... I'm fat. Quite sian. but I'm surprised I took it well AS COMPARED TO how I would react in the past. I think I would have bawled my eyes out and died of depression at home or something. BUTTTT I know la, that everyone was right. I really look a lot bigger than I did in the past ;( 
 I won't deny that I'm upset lah, I mean how can I not be right. I know people have also been telling me I'm not FAT. But just for you all to know I feel fat because compared to the past I really am!?!
Like ballooned up.. to the point my mother asked if I was pregnant leh. How to not feel shitty!!!
I kinda feel sorry for my closest bunch of friends whom I talk to everyday cos I would simply complain and complain and complain about every single inch and part of myself. No matter how much I do or whatsoever I just don't see myself as the way I want myself to be
(I think most of us feel that way too right?)

 Then I figured, no use complaining or whining or feeling all effed up over it. Only I can help myself..
Even if it means sacrificing all the good food (they're the culprits ah) I know if I'm strong I can make it all right again and go back to how I used to be (and fit all my shorts and clothes again)
 So I'mma take ALLLLLLLLL the negativity and turn in to motivation and determination to lose weight!!! I really really really want to, not just to look better but to feel better also. I promised Tamsie that for the next few shoots I will try my best to look less... Pregnant. Ha ha ha ha ha
Been working out everyday and cutting all the unhealthy food off my diet already, trying my best to eat as clean as possible so I don't ruin my plan. Of course there have been times where the temptation to eat sinful snacks and stuff but I made sure if I do I make it up by exercising harder.
 So I'm hoping that for those out there who're intending to lose those extra chubs to join meeeeee!
Start eating clean and work out and soon we'll get the body that we desire, hehe.
Nevertheless, I couldn't be more happier to help out for the shoot with my bbygirl, I mean apart from the 'fat' photos there've been a fair share of chio ones with her and those shots would win any other shots hands down :) Looking forward to the rest of the shoots and hopefully a nicer and thinner meeee!

MIDWEEK VISUALS

May 15, 2013 , 7:32:00 PM

Just a quick midweek update with visuals from last weekend!!! :D

Last Friday saw me back at Smoothie King... 
Okay if you're gonna comment on me pigging out when I've already gained so much weight.. save it!!! I know I know, trying my best to eat clean and mass workout+strict dieting alreadyyy
 Cong's Wrap VS my Wrap. Haha he act smart, insisted on not having veggies.. end up his wrap was damn damn damn tiny as compared to mine. Haahahahahahah
 Classic reaction towards his tiny wrap.


 my baby dearest wonnnnnnnny



 Zouk after for the launch of Phuture's new night- Bulletproof!


 I cannot be more grateful for my dearest fiebs for everything xxx



The night went down like crazy!!! I haven't partied this hard in the longest time and the next day when I woke up I could feel my entire body aching like as if I ran a marathon that night!!! Hahahah >.<
xxx
Apart from Bulletproof night the rest of my weekend was basically work work work. 
Trying my best to squeeze as many shoots as possible within my schedule, every breathing hour is work work work!!! Speaking of work, I did my first outdoor shoot today for Tamsie!!!


Some preview shots, hehe. Not much cos I don't have the rest but you can check them out on her Facebook page!!! If I'm not wrong they're up already :)

Am planning to introduce outdoor shoot starting June onwards! Huahuahua, rates and all have yet to be decided but more information to be up here when its final! For earlier enquiries you can email me at ponyonhightstreet@gmail.com x

Hopefully this new direction would go well, I just thought it can get really boring to be stationed at the studio 12/7 so maybe introducing outdoor shoots might sound like a plan! heh

Okiedokes, guess I'm done for this midweek post! I promised a video on my ask.fm so I promise to post it up by this week :) Upping my efficiency already okay, please love me more. 
Huahuahuahuahuahuahauhuahaua, love you all too *joop joop!!! 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY X

May 12, 2013 , 8:06:00 PM

Happy Sunday all!!! Back with a visual post this weekend.. I apologize for getting lazy last week,
my body just decided to go into some unproductive mode and I feel super guilty about that :(
Gonna take this week to chiong work again, I can do this!!! *pats own back*

So I found time last week to catch up with some friends, especially my baby yowsieeeeee
and he brought me to... SMOOTHIE KING!!! Super in love with this place now I can practically eat there every single day for the rest of my life ok.

 I went to the outlet at 313, basically there you find super low calorie meals! Expect wraps, salads... that sorta food. If you're looking for a meal to pig out then.. Smoothie King wouldn't be the place you would look at. Other than that, for a quick meal or a light snack. I think that is the perfect place to go!
 I had some Chicken Teriyaki Soft Wrap!
pardon me if I look super tan -.- this was what I was complaining about on twitter,
after exercising in the mornings, I become like 2 shades darker or something. GROSSSSS!!!
 paid Miss Mae a visit..
for those who don't know, Mae has her own shop now at Scape Underground!!!

my outfit for that day, super random!!! Haha everyone said I looked damn sporty that day lol!
Top is courtesy of SHOPGOLDSKIN :) Thank You so much for the tee :)


 Yows and I went camera-hunting after which ended up disappointing :(
Nevertheless it landed us with......... outfit shots!!! Haha

 No idea why but we both came up with an idea to find nice places to take outfit shots... so god knows why but we came up with SUPERMARKET. Hahahahahahahahah and he literally drove from town to NEX's NTUC and we attempted a shot..
 and right after we're like "EH LIKE WRONG VIBE LEHHHHHHHH" totally off. Hahahah we decided the ones we took before were nicer and proceeded to.... grocery shopping. LOL!!!

 Nevertheless, an awesome day well spent with my baby yows xxx

Wednesday saw me in Town again, had dinner at Quiznos after work!
 first time trying Quiznos out and I really liked it!!! Something like Subway but equally as good :D
 well well, look who we have here. Mr Cassidy Tan whom I haven't seen in ages!!!
Glad to see him, also can tell he is fully embracing his feminine side ahhhhh hahaha

 made a random decision to head to Zouk after, I miss TGIW!!! And I'm sure TGIW misses me ;)

 LoveTGIW x
Subconsciously found myself at Aura after to join the Haji boys for awhile before calling it a night!
