More luxury items

I was watching Heartstoppers season 2 and Nick Nelson was wearing this pastel green tshirt, which I really liked because of the colour. I have an AMI sweater with that colour but not tshirt, so I went online to wear for mint green tshirts, there's a Polo Ralph Lauren one, there's Maison Kitsune which was quite cute, and then I realised it's very Jacquemus colour so I went Jacquemus website to see around.

And then this light beige tshirt caught my eye, I really like this colour - I think I'm in my pastel colour phase now. I checked out Mr. Porter, End Clothing, SSense, Farfetch, Jacquemus website and got the cheapest. $127 + $15 shipping. KACHING. I was really hesitant because I'm super broke recently, but I haven't bought any clothes this year (except the AMI sweater) and this was the last piece and I wanted something light beige since the burberry one was too expensive. Anyway it came today hahaha.
My most expensive t-shirt yet $142. Worth it!
And then I saw somebody posting a 3-bottle ginza skincare set for $100???? One bottle is already more than $100 already it was 3 bottles?? WHO COULD RESIST? I immediately offered and bought it lol.
I've been eyeing these since forever because they are so exclusive and expensive in Japan. Omg. I can't wait to use them but first I need to post some pics hehhehe.

I miss these food

Kat suddenly texted me for dinner and I was like I MISS OUR SECRET JAPANSES IZAKAYA. And then we went ate and everything. It was still SO GOOD. I haven't had such good Japanese food since I came back from Japan, and it has been months since I ate anything more than $50. Anyway Kat treated me coz she knew I was super broke, and she's going to NYC in Jan OMG!

I'll see her next month with her gang - Ele and Han Yun
And then Friday was cleaning day, I really rested on Saturday and Sunday without going out at all. Then my parents wanted to eat steak for dinner = I treating them -_-
I also haven't had this in months so I won't mind. I love the steak here at TCB.
My stomach feels so happy this week. My bank account is feeling very sad.

Recent purchases

My bank account is crying and I'm really afraid of my spending habits recently. It's like I don't even care about saving anymore, and I didn't even hesitate to spend like hundreds of dollars. I am so scared of myself. I'm spending money not like a river, sea or waterfall. It's a dam.

1. Lego had a lego day sale and the Hokusai wave was the lowest I have seen, so I immediately bought it in Shopee. $106.
2. Somebody was selling Le Labo Noir 29 and I immediately got it $180.
3. Diptyque tokyo candle $75
4. Toshiba Microwave $200

5. Ginza facial wash $50

Also, I almost bought an LV and Hermes sneakers omg. Fortunately or unfortunately, the seller sold it to somebody faster than me. I really want a pair of sneakers :( or the keepall bag.

Online shopping is too addictive and it's too easy to overspend :(

Back to reservist NDP

When they called us up for a high key 2 weeks in camp training which spanned over the National Day week, I googled and somebody said it's to pack the funpack, or to be security for NDP. I was hoping for either because it would mean easy job. 
BUT when we went in, Andy me and GW were so lost because it was the first time we had reservist at the camp and there were nobody there to guide us. We just stumbled to the block and then somebody gave us our bunk beds, then settled. The officer came to talk to us "this might be a shock to you guys but there's no nights off or stay out."
 
It was my fourth cycle and every cycle we could go out immediately on the first day to get our stuff ready. And almost every day we had nights off/ stay out. This is totally crazy and we were totally unprepared. So the second night we couldn't take it anymore and decided to request for a nights off to get our things ready.

This cycle was totally not fun. 12 people sleeping in a room, super warm at night + the stupid noisy fan. I only had 3- 4hrs of sleep every night. I was thrown out of my daily routine and could only play the phone until night time. It was such a mental torture and I could have been more productive and complete 14321454 things outside. Anyway it was both relaxing but torturous. Anyway I got to buy my boots and replenish my stuff at emart. I also kept buying stuff off Taobao and shopee -_- I spent more than what I spend usually.

My team was quite nice, we had Keby and Kaleb, TX and GH. We bashed through the jungle together and it was quite fun. I haven't encountered nature like that in a while, I secretly kind of loved it.

We could go out the day before National Day and I finally had a peaceful sleep over the weekend and also National Day. I went to bugis to clean a bit and sat at the living room to watch fireworks before heading back home. Luckily we could go back before 8am the next day.

I really love this view.
We requested to be posted out immediately after this cycle, so till next cycle then.
