Went to NEX (alight at Serangoon MRT station). I thought it would take me an hour to reach BUT in fact, the journey took less than 40mins ! It was damn crowded =.= And, I noticed there's F&B on EVERY level of the mall. The best thing was though we stayed there for around 8hrs, we only managed to comb 1/4 of the mall ! AND, we did spent quite a fair bit. Can't imagine how much will we spend if we comb the entire NEX x: Fun and fruitful trip ! Love spending time with my lovelies ♥
Freshness Burger was our 1st stop. I was damn hungry as this was my 1st meal of the day.
I had "small" lemonade. Umm .. quite a normal but expensive drink. It's $3.80 or $4.20.
My Freshness Burger. The taste was alright, didn't really WOW me over. The bun was different from the usual ones. Kinda sweet. The size reminds me of MOS ones. Mark my words, the price kills.
Salsa Burger.
Omelette Bacon Burger.
We ordered EXTRAS x: BUT the quantity was pathetic. No doubt the onion rings taste pretty good, but I won't order again for that price. Nearly $4 I think.
Nuggets, quite normal. I think nearly $6 I think. We spent more than $10 each, with still space for more food =.=
And, we went off to walk walk, shop shop shortly after Jessie reached. More about the hauling part later (:
Dinner was settled at Ramen Play. Now then I know, Din Tai Fung, Food Republic, Ramen Play, The Icing Room, Toast Box, Breadtalk are "connected". I only knew Toast Box and Breadtalk are "connected". No wonder, Toast Box and The Icing Room are located side by side at Tampines One. Interesting, at least to me hahas xD
Oh, I had the Tonkotsu Ramen. Filling and satisfying much (: It'll be even better if the egg's more runny. The soup base wasn't too salty, the noodles were cooked just right. The pork meat was on the fatty side, BUT I like :d~
Spicky Tonkotsu Ramen. Just a dollar difference for the spicy kick (;
Sanpou Tonkotsu Ramen. Super filling !
EXTRA order to be shared (again) :p RamenPlay Dango (minced chicken balls in takoyaki style). Quite normal to me, prolly b'coz I don't really fancy minced meat balls x:
Healthy hot green tea for us !
Last stop was at Starbucks. The Caramel Macchiato I had, tasted pretty weird.

Now, on to my hauls !
DIVA
"Love" knuckle duster ring from Diva sales for $7. It was love at first sight hahas (X Pretty gold color and I love the font.
I also got myself this dark red diamante bracelet bangle for only $7 ! A steal, since the usual price was $24 :p
Side-track. I didn't get these at NEX. Since I was taking photos of my rings, why not include 'em in this lil' haul entry. Well, I got 'em at Orchard Cineleisure. I love the "dice" ring very much, quite unique IMO. It was the last piece left (;
I couldn't resist getting the "bunny" ring with tiny "bunny" attached. There was this dark gray color one, but I prefer this ivory white one.
Chanel Les Tentations de Chanel Holiday 2010 Collection (Limited Edition). I didn't get the entire collection (I wished). I already gotten the Pink Pulsion Levres Scintillantes/Glossimer (yet to be featured). Beautiful sheer fuschia color. It was sold out everywhere, I was lucky that there were still 2 left at Isetan (Parkway Parade). Many thanks to the friendly Chanel girl (MBS outlet) who helped me call, check and reserve (; Well, I did purchase something from her coz I like her service personality.
ISETAN
This Tweed Fuschia Blush was sold out everywhere. Since the Chanel counter is new in Isetan (NEX), I was lucky enough to get it ♥ $69, but I paid $65ish, using Jessie's Isetan card. I also got $5 cash voucher (with every $50 purchase).
See the shimmery gold bits ?! I love the tweed effect, the lovely fuschia color with hints of gold and the new brush is unlike the old one which feels harsh on my skin. Too pretty for me to start using, but I'll use it soon :p
WATSONS
I got this Kate Gel Eyebrow LB-1 since it was on 20% discount. Usual price was $19. Loving Kate makeup !
Revlon Super Lustrous Creme lipsticks - 463 Sassy Mauve and 473 Mauvy Night. BOGO ! In fact, the promotion was already over and I wasn't aware since the promotion tag was still there :p $17.90 for both.
Canmake Cream Cheek 09, a pretty sweet baby pink with no shimmers at all. The PLUS point is it's limited edition ! $15.90 after $2 discount.
SASA
This was what I intended to buy, which meant the rest of the 'em are.. well due to temptations =.= Yeah, new big nail clipper hahas (X $1.65 only.
Sana Pore Putty Face Powder Clear. $24.90 before 20% discount, far cheaper alternative. Better ? I can't say that for now.
Sana Natural Resource Loose Powder UV SPF19 PA++. The powder puff was really soft and I like that it's abit shimmery. $39.90 before 20% discount.
GIFT
Odbo Collagen Hydra-Mask. Gift from Jessie ♥ Thanks girl !
ETUDE HOUSE
We were about to leave NEX but we went in since it was still opened. Bad move eh. I ended up with these. Buy 2 Get 1 FREE.
I set my eyes on this - DearDarlingNails BLINGBLING WH004. Shimmery black with hints of teal. I'm bad at describing colors =.= AND, I thought it's $7.90 but actually, it's $11.90 *faints*. I noticed it only after I reached home. Expensive !!
LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 06. Shimmery pink with hints of blue.
LUCIDarling Fantastic Nails 05. Shimmery orange-red with hints of gold.
WH709. Looks like cement color x:
BR307. Looks like hot cocoa color :3
WH708. Very pale mud color ? s:
Last but not least, freebie(s) ! We got 2 of this Moistfull Sheet Masks coz I requested for one more x: Very aunty much LOL
That's the end of my somewhat lengthy X'mas Day post (; More to come !
Happy New Year (in advance) to my loved ones, followers, readers and YOU ♥
