PM Disney "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending"

Hey all~ sorry for the hiatus. Been busy preparing for some tests/exams. I still have my Basic Driving Theory Test tmr!! *nervous nervous* But just thought I'll quickly post my haul for today (and I'll be updating about other random things I've bought lately after my BTT).

I also just had my ABRSM violin exam today!! (nahh im only grade 2 > <, Old Beginner haha) Dead nervous about it~ but it's over!! Hopefully I can pass it with flyinggg colours xD And so this is my "little" reward for myself: 

Precious Moments Disney "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending"

Isn't it just sweet? I've been eyeing the PM membership figurine for quite a while now (well since the start of this year > <), but couldn't quite justify myself to get it cause there wasn't many new figurines that I like. I prefer the older collection, which are not available in stores. Plus PM figurines are much cheaper online xD 

But when I saw this~ I knew I had to get it!! It's too cute to pass up!! Most Precious Thots stores don't even have this!! (Think they sold out? Since this figurine was already out at last year's PM event) And there wasn't many online either. So yep~ this and the membership figurine (which I'll be collecting in August along with my membership card), and a hugeeee hole in my pocket > <

Love the rocking horse!! Though it doesn't rock lol.

"The trail to a fairytale ending is long and winding, but along the way you meet the most wonderful characters. This sweet little one, dressed as her favourite Princess Snow White, sits atop her white rocking horse bidding her toy Dopey farewell. Just as Snow White had to say goodbye to all her dwarf friends, this little one knows that without the love and support of friends, it would be impossible to find the happy ending." 

I love this. This is why me, and so many others, adore Precious Moments figurines so much. Cause each and everyone of them carries a significance meaning. Like this one. The importance of friends. Yes, without the love and support of all my friends and family, I wouldn't be standing here today =) 

More photos:



































Marking: Tree, 2010
But it says 2009 on the figurine, misleading much?

And this piece actually doesn't come with the tag. I asked the salesgirl about this, and she said she checked all of the "Riding Off To A Fairytale Ending" pieces and they all don't come with a tag. Anyone else have this problem with their PM pieces too? But she was nice enough to call the head office up about this and they agreed to make one for me. Naww now I feel special =D

Haha anyways, I gotta get back to my studying now. Will definitely be posting more after my BTT!! Shall end with a photo of my BTT book.


Have a nice week everyone =)

Tangled *Super long post + spoilers*

"Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine"

Here I am again, wondering for the umpteen time, why is this movie so beautiful? This is already my third time re-watching Tangled, yet I am still enchanted by it, well what can I say? I love this movie <33 I know this movie has already been out for quite some time now, and yes I did watch it in the cinemas, but I didn't get my hands on a copy of it until now, so here's my little summary:

First up, meet the leads!!

The charming but vain Eugene Fitzherbert a.k.a. Flynn Rider - Zachary Levi
"They just can't get my nose right!"
Shocked by his own hand? xD
HEHEHE ^^

Our innocent yet feisty heroine Rapunzel - voiced by Mandy Moore
*thumbs up for this great movie*
Told ya she's one feisty blondie.
Aww how sweet. Baby Rapunzel had a toy chameleon. Is that why the grown-up Rapunzel has a pet chameleon too?

Rapunzel's only friend a.k.a. pet chameleon - the one and only lovable Pascal
LOL!!!
HAHAHAHA ohh Pascal I love you so muchhh XOXO
Pascal's such a sweetie :)

And no one forgot about dear fighter horse Maximus did they?
Cause if you did he'll probably bite your head off.
Or maybe try to cut ya.
But deep down we all know that Maximus' a big sweetheart~ ^^

And this is one of my favourite scene of the movie:
Rapunzel's conflict with herself when she first left the tower
"I can't believe I did this!" x3
"Mother would be so furious!"
"But that's ok, I mean what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?"
"Oh my gosh, this would kill her."
"This is soooo fun~~~ "
"I, am a horrible daughter. I'm going back."
"I am never going back~~ xD"
"I am a despicable human being."
"Wow oh~~ Best. Day. Ever!!"
*sobs*
And Eugene go and sorta comfort her.

Hahaha I gotta say I love this scene!! Rapunzel's conflict with herself is totally hilarious~ not to mention Eugene in the background looking all bored and wondering what's wrong with this girl. <33333

And finally, my favourite favourite favourite scene of all: The Lights
I See the Light Lyrics
From Tangled (Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi)
All those days
Watching from the windows
All those years
Outside looking in
All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Now I’m here
Blinking in the starlight
Now I’m here
Suddenly I see
Standing here
It’s oh, so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days
Chasing down a daydream
All those years
Living in a blur
All that time
Never truly seeing
Things the way they were


Now she’s here
Shining in the starlight
Now she’s here
Suddenly I know
If she’s here
It’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new

And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
Disney has done it again~ watching Disney movies indeed makes one feel special like a little child. This is definitely a movie worth collecting. I shall not give any more spoilers out, so those of you who have not watch Tangled yet~ Go watch it!!

**All screen caps and lyrics above belong to the Disney movie Tangled.**
I shall reminisce in the after-effects of this beautiful movie now.
Bye guys. Have fun watching.

Samantha Vega Haul

Samantha Vega Isetan is currently having a lucky draw. Simply purchase anything and draw a card from the bowl and you might stand a chance to win charms, pass cards, wallets, tote bags, or even a SV bag!! I of course grab that chance, hoping to perhaps win myself a SV bag.
Simple but elegant packaging. 

So I bought something from Samantha Vega~

Picked a egg capsule which contains a card from the bowl~

And I got a~~

 *Drum-rolls*

Samantha Vega notebook > <

LOL. Well what did I expect. I should have known better that this is a common tactic in business. I actually thought the least I might get was a charm. I think I was their 15th customer that day and on the list I saw many other people getting notebooks too, some had better luck and got cups, tote bags.. but there was also 1 who was extremely lucky and actually won a gorgeous SV bag!! (Check Samantha Thavasa Facebook for photos) Oh well~ Lady Luck is just not shinning on me today.

Anyways~ on to the item that I bought from Samantha Vega. That's the actual highlight of this post and also what you guys wana read about, right? *winks*

Slowly unwrapping~~ comes with a care card too. 

And unwrapping~~~~ 
Though I think the answer is quite clear already. 

And TA-DUH~!! 

The infamous Samantha Vega Initial Charm!!

I really wanted to get My Melody, but every time I checked there was no stock, so finally I settled for Hello Kitty. And this was the only last "M" left!! Glad I snapped it up real fast. Chi Chi is my online moniker, my real name starts with M, wana make a guess? (Clue: Famous American actress-singer with her Iconic Skirt-Blowing) Quite obvious right~ haha.
Cute little kitty ^^ Love the 'diamonds' and little bow on top too :)

Nice heart shaped charm that shouts Samantha Vega x Hello Kitty.

Matches my bag fairly well don't ya think?
Got this lovely 2-piece bag as a birthday gift earlier this year. Friend said that this bag reminds her of me? Haha I'm guessing that means this bag reflects my personality? xD

Lovely little charm hanging on my lovely little bag ^^

The lucky draw at Samantha Vega Isetan is only until tomorrow 26 June Sunday. So if you're feeling lucky you might wana take a chance there and maybe get to bring home a SV bag. There's 5 SV bags up for grabs! But don't keep your hopes too high up though, cause you might get be fairly disappointed with the results.

Sending lotsa luck your way.

Have fun everyone :)

Hello Kitty Alarm Clock

Sorry for not blogging these past few days, just had some issues to deal with. No worries~ this blog is still active and alive!!! :D

I've been searching for the perfect alarm clock for quite a while since my bro snatch mine away, well erm.. though it was technically his to began with.  So yea~ I was at Orchard Central (beside 313 Somerset) today when I chanced upon THE perfect alarm clock. 

Adorable hello kitty alarm clock!! Nice oval shape~ 

Got this red version instead of the black version cause the kitties appeals to me more~ love how they're in a row ^^ And the red just brights up my black table better. 

Kitties in the form of Tamagotchi~ much love <3 <3

LED lights!! How cool is that?? 

When the lights are turned on, they stay for about 5 seconds before turning off by itself. That is if I only pressed the button once..

When I pressed the button twice though~ the lights changes from blue to red to green to all mix to red green mix to blue green mix to red purple mix and so on and so forth... omg~ I am so in love with this alarm clock right now ^^

I can hear these hugee alarm bells (with the pretty changing lights) ringing in my bedroom all the way from my living room. I'm pretty sure these are enough to knock me out of my dreams, or my day-dreams lol. 

I also got a Rilakkuma membership card and name card from the salesman. According to him, these memberships cards are limited edition with only 5,000 produced. And the name cards, LE of 1,000 only. Can't really trust him on that, but I don't mind getting them, cause the cards are really really cute :) 

And just for your information, they are also opening a store at level 6 at Orchard Central next month. So if you're interested in cute items, you might wana check them out.

But the Japan Fair that is going on right now is only until 26 June 2011 Sunday. There is quite a lot of interesting stores selling a whole variety of japanese items. And most of the store owners are Japanese too~ might wana train your Jap skills a bit? xD

And I'll just end this with my little haul of Essential products hair essence Nuance Airy (pink) and Rich Premier (orange). Got these at quite a deal from John Little which is currently having a 20% on various brands. Also with every 2 products of Essential products purchased, there's a free gift of Damage Care Rich Premier 120g. I also got samples of Bio-essence Bird's Nest Nutri-Collagen & Whitening cleanser and advancer. Am a happy little girl now :D

Who doesn't love freebies? 

Enjoy your nice weekend everyone :)
