November, rolling into December, is always a period of rest and reflection for me. Other than the hustle and bustle of December and preparing for Christmas dinner, there are always parties to go to and people from the year to meet. And during this festive time, you definitely need to look your best, so I'll be sharing with you some beauty and make-up products I've been using this end of years! Come on in!
October is here as we herald the last quarter of the year. Before you know it 2018 is coming to an end. What lies in store for the lucky number 8 for the last quartet of the year? For me, October means Halloween month, and that's always something to look for in the calendar for me.
Apologies on the lateness of this post to the 10 of you that visit my blog (haha)! Been dealing with some issues for the past few weeks that perhaps I would share in another post. But for the month of July, this is what I have been up to.
Brunch
June Jammies - A friend from out of town, Birthday celebrations and more...
Tuesday, July 03, 2018June heralds the end of the first half of the year. Out with the old, in with the new as they say! June was a month of gatherings and birthdays for me, and it was pretty tame for me. Transition period as they say!
Before we realised it, April has descended upon us. It's now Q2 of the year 2018. Little less than 7 months to go at the time of writing this! So what shenanigans has Sasha Bear been up to this month? Step inside for a look!
March is my birthday month and also the end of Q1 2018. Had a blast as I decided to host a last minute party for my quarter century plus some birthday. Due to timing issues I had to hold it on the 2nd, which is 1 day before my actual birthday. Thank goodness I had some help and Marc decided to co-host the party with me! What ensued was a really nice evening of meeting friends new and old.
With the blink of the eye, January has passed us by. The sub-25 degree temperature was a departure from the scorching heat of Singaporean summers, and us residents of the Little Red Dot were lulled into a peaceful, warm and cuddy first month of the year. So cozy up as we dive into the going ons of January!
Starting off with a notice - I'm trying to update my blog at a fixed time every month, which will be from the 1st to 3rd, so keep a look out for that!
End November to early December contained a wealth of surprises, among which was that my long lost cousin from Shanghai, Kimberley or Zhang Jin which she is known, came to Singapore for a three week long holiday, mostly as a sabbatical and also to work on her novel/writing.
October was Halloween weekend and a whole bunch of other activities here in Sunny Singapore. There were Halloween parties to be at and food to be eaten. So here's a summary of my mega-October month! (Pictured here are Harlequin-Colette and Playboy Bunny-Chelsea, along with me, who's supposed to be a hippie!)
In August and September, I sort of mellowed down a lot. Didn't go out on the weekday nights or weekends like I used to at the start of the year! I guess these two months were that of relaxation and reflection, as we slowly progress towards the last quarter of the year.
Time seems to be passing so quickly, innit? In the blink of the eye it's already the end of July as I am writing this. Here are some of the memories from these 3 months: Mostly - K's dance by the Bay, Candlenut dinner with the ACSians, pub crawl with K, J, C, K...
So I haven't been really diligently blogging recently. I know my blog is basically just a semi-private diary so that I can keep track of places I've been and people I've met, so sometimes I get lazy to write. (So far, I've gotten 3,827 views since Feb 2016. So that's quite encouraging...) Anyway just I shall see if I can finish blogging about 4 months in 1 post, if not I shall write a part 2.
Hey ya! Just finished an Ultra tiring weekend at Ultra. Lol, see what I did there! Anyway Ultra Singapore was really really and I mean REALLY muddy. And crowded, the queues for food and drink barely moved for over 1 hour. But the music was, eh, OKAY i guess. Silly me for wearing Haviannas to a music festival with all that MUD but I guess that's a lesson learnt? YOU NEED HEAVY DUTY WELLINGTONS das what you need. So anyway starting off September with a house party:
So this post is all about what I've been up to in July this year. At a whopping 75 photos it's going to be a really picture-laden post so bear with me! Blogspot has this really annoying problem, which is that when you embed photos in the post they turn out really small and display really stretched and pixellated in the actual post. So I'm going to have to manually click the Large setting on all 75 photos. Le sigh.
Meet up with the oranges from CAPT!
So I've been really busy lately and have not had much time to post. I'm down with the flu today and tomorrow so I thought it'll be nice to come on here once again to do a little update.
These are pictures from May and June! Can't really remember the exact dates and who I've gone out with though...
Brunch
Of Korean BBQs, Tomato Tequila shots, Crabs, Club Street, Flowers and selfies

Okay so I basically have a backlog of photos from my camera post-Japan, which happened around 3 weeks ago? I have a new phone (the s7 edge) so I have photos from there too but I'm not sure whether I should do a separate post for those. I expect I would as I go along editing this post haha.
Edit: Okay a slight heads up because this post is super long. It probably has like 50 pictures?
Whew I'm finally back from Japan. The flight back was really tiring because the first flight to Shanghai delayed and we missed our connecting flight out to Singapore... :-( Going to break up the post into parts because there are way too many pictures to post all at once.
Saturday
Took a connecting flight from Singapore to Shanghai and then Osaka. We spent the morning in Shanghai and spent some time with Grandmamaw and Grandpapaw at Hongqiao. :) Pictures from the morning there!
It's the end of another week, so more peektures for a round up of all the places I've been this week.
Monday
The Secret Mermaid. So we bought two drinks and some truffle fries and a corn dog. It was Singapore Cocktail week so they were doing some promo on the drinks. Little did we know how awful the drinks were. There was this milo and moonshine infusion that was absolutely putrid, 10/10 would not recommend. The food was so-so and the space was really tiny like it can sit only 15 people max?
Wednesday
Did my hair on Wednesday at Picasso Hair Salon @ Haji Lane! It's brown now with caramel highlights. Really pleased with it.
And shisha and chill at a friend's place followed by Zouk after. I must be getting old because I woke up the next day uber hungover and had to miss a day's work.
