S.E.A Aquarium x The nail artelier

Back again for a short post! (or maybe not really a short one)

I've mentioned in my previous post tt i've opened a pre-order. I would say tt it's pretty successful as the response was better than i expected. Honestly i were kinda prepared tt no one would order but im glad tt there were quite a handful! Thank you for those who supported! (if you're reading this (: )

As mentioned on jocobana, i decided not t open the next pre-order anytime soon cos im afraid tt stocks wouldnt arrive in time before i fly off. So the next pre-order would most likely be in the 2nd wk of july. I'll be preparing the post before i leave so i can post it up when im in TW! 

Really really thankful for such kind words and support from my customers. It makes me enjoy what im doing even more and definitely made my day, knowing tt they're satisfied customers!

Idk if doing this pre-order thing is a good thing though, cos i end up buying stuff as well! Haha. I've decided t do a review on some of the items i've bought and i think are really worth buying. I wldnt be reviewing every single item though, cos the post wld prob get super lengthy. (tts how much i bought) =/

The quality of this was really good! Made of thicker material and the pearls are not those sewn on ones but 'punched' on so it wouldnt drop off easily!

Im sure you've seen blogshops selling this Topshop inspired piece. Im a sucker for tribal/aztec prints and this is one of my fav buys! Though it's still a lil loose on me, i got the UK8 one. 

I've always wanted t get a pair of white loafers and when i saw this i immdly decided t get one. The material is really good and comfy as well! Didnt give me any blisters at all, just tt i've bought one size bigger. My fav pair of shoes at the moment!

Got this Phillip Lim inspired bag, material wise is quite similar t the PS1 inspired. 

So into the monochrome fever now! Esp when its monochrome + florals, how not t love this! Got it in size M and it fits me just nice w lil allowance. Mad love for the prints!

Last but not least, this daisy bag! I'm super into anything daisies lately i have no idea why. Haha. And i've always been a sucker for pastel stuff so this is another must buy for me! I was surprised by how good the material is and how spacious it actually is!

This isnt in the pre-order, got this last min but it was too sheer for me and i dont really like wearing 2 layers since this piece definitely needed an inner piece. I'm selling this at $13mailed. PTP: 17.5".  Lmk if you're interested (:

Got this and i loved it but the leg opening was abit too small for my preference. Would prefer it t be more baggy. Think it'll fit uk4-6 perfectly and maybe up t small uk8? Im not sure if im a small or big uk8 though.
PTP: 17", waist: 16.5", hips: 18". Straps are non adjustable, slightly different from the one on pre-order. $19mailed!

I'd try t upload some pics irl of some of the items on IG so do follow @jocobana on IG for more updates! (:

Went t S.E.A Aquarium w family, bf, aunt and cousin, like finally! So excited t be there after seeing all the pretty pics! 

PS: There's student discount which was not stated on their web i think, tickets were $23 instead of $33 if i didnt rmb wrongly. So do show your student pass when purchasing! 

We were all so busy taking pics tt we all got separated and didnt even take a family/group photo in the end ): Sucha rare occasion and yet no photos taken! Sigh. Plus im not someone who wld always initiate t take pics though i love taking pics. Haha. Weird and ironic arent i? =/

The fishes swim way too fast i hardly have much clear pics. ): Was still regretting bringing my telephoto lens out instead of my 35mm but im glad i did cos it became pretty useful in the end, though i gotta stand at a dist t take pics. But there were a few really nice visitors who stopped and allow me t take my shot instead of 'photobombing'. Really appreciated tt! Too lazy and no time t edit the pics this time round so pls bear w my lousy pics! ):

The Maritime Museum was quite boring actually, nth much. Our main aim was t go t S.E.A Aquarium! Haha

Swimming arnd so freely, yet what seems like an ocean is actually just a huge tank. 

So cute isnt it! Looks like it's smiling!

Stayed there for sooooo long just so i cld get decent pics of this cute lil one.

Dolphin! Another one of my fav! Really hope i cld see one out in the sea in TW! It looked like it's been badly injured though. So many scars ):

It's face kinda looked like those kings in cartoons. Haha

This is kinda gross actually. So saggy... 

Prob got the most jelly fishes pics cos they're the easiest t capture and prob the most photogenic ones!

Like 2 lil mushrooms

Hello nemo! I've found you!

Alot of my pics were blur so i dont have much t upload except for the jellyfish ones ): Really love the place though, think i got it from my mum cos she loves going t sea aquariums etc esp when we're ovs! We absolutely love watching those shows in zoos or themeparks! I think i can just sit there and stare at them for the whole day. Haha

Anw, i've finally got my nail done after a really long time since CNY! Im sure many of you wld've known about The Nail Artelier by now since lotsa bloggers blogged and posted photos on IG about them. 

Had the urge t do a manicure when i saw Jolene's (@jongsy) pic! I hardly do nail art cos they're usually quite pricey and they dont last long since i dont really like doing gelish. Decided t pamper myself a lil after so long and made an appt tt very night! I had t postpone my appt in the end though cos of the haze.

I mentioned tt im super into daisies lately and i cldnt resist this design when i saw it! Plus it was their promo set for the mth of June, impossible t miss!

Wanted t change the blue to sth pastel/pink initially but decided t stick t the original ones cos i didnt want it t look too girly for me and the blue gave it some contrast. Forego the studs as well t keep it simple. I did express ($10) cos i didnt have much time t spare and since i didnt want t add the studs, the nail art was only $20! $30 for this set of nails sounds pretty reasonable for me!

Cant wait for their promo sets for July! Im definitely gonna be a return customer! I think they're one of the better ones, if not the best, i've ever visited! Some manicurists i've met are so 'chor lor'. Jenrine did my nails for me and i've gotta say tt she's really 细心. I like how she'd clean of the excess nail polish at the sides, lots of manicurists actually dont bother at all. And there weren't any bubbles at all! I was expecting slight scratches on the surface on the next day cos it always happens for me (idk why either), esp for light colours, but surprisingly they're still looking perfect! Plus they use quick dry top coat for all! So many nail salons charge for quick dry i dont even uds why. -.-

Nope, of cos im not being sponsored. Who wld sponsor a small fry like me right? Lol. Im blogging about it cos im really satisfied w their service! Good things must share right? Hehe

Will be back soon t blog about some of the random food hunts. (i hope? prob aft i come back from TW)  So much t blog about i dont even know where t start, it just keeps accumulating ):

Last but not least, have a great wk ahead everybardi! Wkends are coming soon! (:
