Making Headlines: IT'S NOT ME!

2009-06-10T11:59:00.004+08:00

This morning i came into the office to be interrogated. The colleague sitting in front of me asked

"Do you have a greenish tube dress?"

I asked, "why? do you want to borrow it? no, i don't have."
He said, "Are you SUUUUUUUre?"

I said, "who in the world wears GREEN?"

Then the colleague sitting diagonally from us piped, "No no...it's not green! Its something like turqoise...."

And i thought perhaps they need to borrow my dress for some performance.

She then asked, " Have you been shopping alot lately?"

I shook my head, because i have been saving for Japan.

Then, they showed me this! I did a double flip."The police are appealing for details on the identity and whereabouts of this woman to assist investigations into a case of credit card fraud. She was last seen in a green dress at Mustafa Centre on March 7 between 2am and 4am."

If you close one eye and squint, it does sorta kinda resemble me. Except she is alot fairer than me. I was teasing my colleagues..."you mean you guys were contemplating to call the hotline??"

At least i resemble a possible criminal (not sure yet) who is kinda hot and not in one of those "Ugly Singaporeans" caught-in-action photos in the papers. At least it wasn't my look-alike caught digging her nose or pushing an old lady out of the way.

Tell me, have you seen her?

P.S My boyfriend and my family are my alibi as i was with them. But that doesn't stop me from having a wild imagination. What if i am a case of Lincoln Burrows? Jailed for something i have not done. What if the chief investigator is an Ang Moh? And to Ang Mohs, they can't tell one Asian from another.

The wanted girl is NOT ME!!

Speaking Japanese

2009-06-09T09:53:00.004+08:00

I dug out my Japanese textbook to do a revision before my trip and a very yellow piece of paper scribbled with Japanese phrases fell out. Skip this if you are below 21.

Kimiga Nama Ewa= What is your name?

Hajimemashite = Nice to meet you (first meeting only)

Ogenki Desuka = How do you do

Koneko Chan= Sweet Pussycat

Kimiga Kissu Amai = Your kiss is sweet

Kimiga Bagina Amai = Your XXssy is sweet

Kimiga Oppai Monde Yi Desuka= Can I squeeze your brXXsts?

Bokuwa Nodo Kawaita Dakara Kimiga Bagina/Oppai suku desuka? (BOY, is this LONG. Try saying it in ONE BREATH) = My throat is thirsty, can you let me sXXk your _____/_____ (if you read the above two, you can figure it out)

Bokuwa Onaka Suita Dakara Kimiga bagina taberu desuka? = My stomach is hungry, so can you let me eat your XXssy?

Oisine= Delicious!

Bokuwa Kimiga Aisteru = I Love you!

Yorusku, Ja = Nice to meet you (parting), Bye!

That piece of paper is yellow due to its age, not stains (thankfully!). The boys in a single-sex school absolutely have too much hormones raging. I wonder where they learnt all this, I’m not even sure if they are accurate. Perhaps you can try and see if you get slapped by a Kawaii girl. I have no use for it, but still, I kept this piece of paper just for amusement.

I hope you got amused too.

P.S check back after the 20^th, I’m sure to bring Tokyo’s fashion, food and weird to you.

Food for thought: i believe Singaporean men tend to prefer Japanese porn because its more realistic. Not the sick antics, but the girls, the size, the bush...its more like Asian women. I suppose the size of the Japanese man's member also makes them feel a little better (maybe, maybe not). Don't quote me! LOL.

Do Singaporeans dress badly?

2009-06-01T21:34:00.010+08:00

Before i start on the fashion faux pas of Singaporeans, let me first state that alot of my foreign friends feel Singaporean girls are the epitome fashionistas in Asia. The Hong Kongers and Taiwanese prefer Singaporean girls because they can dress well (I thought the Hong Kong and Taiwan females would dress better. Apparently, the locals don't think that way. What we thought was what we saw on TV). They saw us as "fiery".

The Europeans, they like Singaporean girls because they wear flirty sexy dresses unlike their girls because of the cold weather almost all year round.

So, the foreigners pretty much think Singaporeans dress well. However, that can't be said of our men. They're pretty much always dressed down. And then stereotypically, if a Singaporean man dresses a little bit more formal in a club, the girls assume he is a foreigner (as my Singaporean male friend tells).

So when Singaporean men dress a little better, they are deemed as 1) metrosexual, 2) poseur or 3) foreigner.

My opinion on Singaporean men is neutral (the only thing the bf probably has to say is all of them seem to have the same haircut!) I would think its the Korean influence.

However, i can give my opinions of the fashion sense of Singaporean women...behold...the Dos and Don'ts of Fashion.

1) Ankle Boots

To me, even the celebrities can't carry off ankle boots with bare legs (unless with jeans or leggings). I've seen them in Singapore and not only do we laugh at people who wear boots in our humid weather, we cringe when its ankle boots. It makes your legs look short.

2) Latex leggings

Did you run out of allowance to use thrash bags as leggings? This is the second thing that i feel even celebrities cannot carry off. This trend hasn't really taken off yet here, but i have seen some already starting it. Pleeeeeease, don't.

Then again, if you do, i still applaud you your boldness in making a statement. We need less copycats.

3) High Waist Belts

I think almost every girl owns one now. It is a great accessory to instantly jazz up your outfit and give a better defined waist. Australia started it 2007, my mother wore it in the 70s. But you know what? My male friend told me he thinks the high waisted belt is not flattering. In fact, i've heard more than 1 man say that. What do men know?! Bah.

4) High waisted stuff

Again, this is very in trend but my male colleague the other day just said the body looks short with these high waisted stuff. The men just don't get it.

5) Dressing like a slut
A personal rule i'd like to follow almost religiously is to not show your top while flashing your lower half. Do it with class, and not with crass.

6) Grooming

Both men and women need grooming. Don't end up like Cecilia Cheung.

7) Visible Panty Lines

Butt cracks are a big boo-boo.

Gotcha! That picture wasn't a real butt crack. It was created in between my knees.I've seen countless girls flashing their ass while squatting or sitting around Orchard. If it is unintentional, it's forgivable but i think everyone needs to be mindful of it. Some even purposely show off their tong underneath! Low-waisted jeans are very bad for the back, so maybe the high waisted fashion is a good thing.

This reminds me, see through bras are also a no-no. Remember, do it with class not crass.

When i was in secondary school, there was this girl who developed earlier than we did. And to show that off, she wore coloured bras with bright prints to flaunt. And when she gets drenched in the rain on the way to school, she acts all shy and embarrassed but i bet she was secretly pleased as she thrust her chest out.

How we called her a slut but secretly envied her chest.

I almost got a wedgie!

8) If you want to go fake, do your research.
Almost everyone in the train has a Gucci bag. From the young girls to the aunties to the grannies. I give them the benefit of the doubt of it being the real thing, it's not a crime carrying a fake if you really want to be brand conscious. But if you do want to carry a fake, do your research!! So you know what REALLY exists and not become a laughing stock like Rick Ross who wore a fake LV glasses on a magazine that soon received a lawyer's letter from LV. You know how these labels take piracy seriously.

9) Being Real

Singaporean women are well sought-after by many men. But i always joke with them what if after unwrapping the present, then they find out its not what it seems? Singaporeans are so updated with fashion "helps" in the market that image is no longer kept real. Fake eyelashes, push-up bra, girdles, double eyelid stickers, make-up etc.

Here's what i mean...

10) Lastly, wearing PJs out

It has been a trend, but not quite rampant yet. Mainly because Singaporeans are still pretty much conservative. I personally own a few corsets and nighties that is good to wear in public, but still, i am not daring enough. In my mind, it's still lingerie. And i wouldn't know how the boyfriend would react! There are a handful of women who do it, what do you think of them?

Sex-pots or bad taste?

I think women can definitely wear their PJs out provided its not translucent but please wear a bra! They can also wear big sleep shirts out with a high waist belt and tights or leggings. Men, however...i'm afraid their boxers and ah pek stripey PJs will have to stay home.

I think i'll stick to non-PJs clothes for public for now. But i did see a lace-silk nightie last Saturday in a lingerie shop that makes me feel almost confident to wear it out in public. So maybe, i will.

Watch this space.

P.S the Great Singapore Sale has started, you should have scoured before it started so you know exactly what you want and don't have to wait in queue for the changing room. Next year perhaps! Unlucky for me...i will need to do my shopping in Japan :p

If only every Sunday is like yesterday.

MVP withdrawal syndrome

2009-05-26T13:21:00.025+08:00

It feels unreal that just a few hours ago i was in chilly Perth in company of amazing friends and eating the best of Italian food. Now i am back in Singapore and i am perspiring like a pig. No, i didn't get the swine flu. I am really really grateful to V for offering his house to stay (where i got to live my dream of having a dog in my house and we got to make ourselves an OZ breakfast one morning, bacon and eggs. Yummm....). M was also such a darling spending the weekend with us, playing the perfect tour guide giving us a running commentary whenever possible and answering the German's tourist's questions.
I was sharing with my boyfriend that i am ashamed that M & V whom i hardly hang out with when i stayed in Perth were so much more enthusiastic about my arrival than those that i hang out regularly with. I'm not saying that my Singaporean-Perth friends are not nice, they are. In fact, most of the time very helpful and reliable. But i guess you take it for granted when you know you can see them another time (if not in Perth, then back in Singapore).

And when i was telling my boyfriend that, i almost teared because i was so touched by M&V who gave me VIP treatment. They were so proud of showing Perth to us (me, a born-again tourist. Him, a first-timer.) just as i was proud of showing Singapore to them. And i am ashamed to say i haven't been as good as a host as they had been to me.

You indulge in all things sinful on a holiday.

Oh, how i love Nandos. V has the cutest dog i've ever seen. Chino is a very laid-back dog (is every human, animal , thing in Australia all laid-back?). He's so playful! He snuck into our room and stole my socks!!

We flew in close to midnight on Friday. Immediately went to Burswood and had kebabs (how i crave for one now). I hadn't had much luck although the boyfriend won $100.

I love the deco of this club on North Bridge. From my one and only clubbing experience there 1.5 years ago, i think the men there can dance ALOT better than the guys here (they don't even dance! They BOB.) The men are also more aggressive in wanting anything from you (a dance, a conversation). The girls, they're full of confidence and almost all will be shaking their booty.

Most places wouldn't have cover, although some of the bigger ones like Metros and Library will have. Some have many "rooms" like our old MOS, but don't have high expectations on deco. They just play different music and at least 1 room will a live band.

In general, the clubs there are not as 'posh' as Singapore's but its free entry and the people there are more relaxed and not so poseurs.
The highlight of the trip was Ciao Italia at South Perth. No reservations can be taken, and there'll be hoards of people. Inside, every table is packed chair to chair. Very squeezy and expect to wait long for a table, but all is VERY worth it. Our appetiser was Bruchetta. The juicy olive vinegar soaked tomatos and onions on crusty bread is divine.

Colza. Which is chicken and tomatos and other ingredients stuffed inside. Very cheesy.
My favourite is still the pasta named after the restaurant though. Creamy linguine with roasted chicken and sundried tomatos.
This girl who is unabashed to cam whore with me. She has so many expressions to pose with and she calls ME the pose-r.

Ang Mohs usually say Chinese look alike, with the slit eyes and all. Looking at this close-up shot, i cannot see how we look alike. She has bigger eyes and big white teeth. I think she's the prettier one.

We waited 30 minutes out in the cold for our table. I had to hound the waiter 3 times.

I am really touched by V's gestures. From picking us at the airport to sending us here and there to planning our itinery to make sure we got the most out of Perth to burning us 2 photo CDS before we leave. He's a perfect host!

Our holiday was 10/10. Quality food, good friends, laughs, fun and PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY! 99% of the pictures seen here, the credit goes to V. Tell me how many get their ENTIRE holiday documented from a third person's view?

They are such good people, they weren't calculative. They are such polite people, laughing at my idiocrisies. They make me want to be a better person.
THE highlight of the night, literally.

We were all so STUFFED after all the main courses but no matter what we HAD to fit in the tiramisu.

People always lament that Perth is boring. It could be, if you are looking for constant action. But our typical day starts with spending time in the sun, coffee at a nice cafe, some shopping, then coffee again at another nice cafe then ending with drinks at chill-out places before heading home.

I was engrossed picking the lychee bits in my Lychee Mint Martini.

The city lights from across the Swan River is stunning on V's camera. The people, even more stunning (shockingly funny).
V drew a bomb over his gf's head. M is puckering her lips and applying lighted lipstick. MK is the merlion spewing light and i just tried to do something (having no mobile phone to create those lights).

We are organised stickmans. All standing straight and somewhat leaning to the right with hands in pockets.

We arrived in on Friday night with light rain. It poured on Saturday morning and our spirits were a little dampened as we thought how unlucky we were to have arrived this weekend of all times! Perth is known for perfect weather all year round. Sunny always, with little rainfall and gloom.

So lucky that it cleared up by Sat afternoon. I like the cold weather with sun! So nice to cuddle under the warm blankets (thanks to Hogswart)with the boyfriend. Not so nice when you undress to shower though. It kills you to step out of the hot shower!
We showed the German Caversham as soon as the clouds cleared. That's a family with the joey in the pocket. Can you see? We saw how a joey got in and out. How fascinating!Another masturbating or doing yoga, either one.
Kangaroos can box, he didn't believe.
But these are VERY laid-back. Look how they lie! Arms crossed, all stretched out.

This fawn is SUPER duper nice to stoke. Its SO soft. No wonder baby lamb meat is so much more tender and costly. MK kept making comments about how good Emu burgers will taste and how much he love Kangaroo meat. His appetite is ridiculous ever since he started seriously working out again.
This donkey reminds me of the one in Shrek because he is SO talkative. Made sounds non-stop and constantly opens its mouth to be fed. Felt abit sorry for it as the sign wrote "Feed everything else but the donkey".

The donkey gave us a very glamourous showcase of its fart though. And even gawfawed after that! Too bad i wasn't in time to take a video. Always something unexpected comes up at Caversham. You should go with a video camera, seriously. The last time, an Llama spit on C's face, literally.
That's a 30kg wombat.

I thought that was its vagina. But noooo, it's its pouch! Its newborn baby is about the size of a new born hamster. All tiny and red. I never knew wombats have pouches.How cool is it that we've so many 'natural' pictures because V was snapping away professionally?

Caversham's like a wildlife park showcasing Australia's animals. And i love that place because it allows you to get interactive with the animals! They don't rip you off by asking you to buy animal feed too. It's provided free around the park.

He's quite convinced that Koalas attack humans by clawing their faces.I cajoled him into doing an "animal" pose to suit the signage.
I showed him how to do it first.
This is what he gave.
I decided that is SO ugly that i be a koala and he just stick to being human instead.
Sunday was BEAUTIFUL. Our hosts took us to Cottlesloe (or Coleslaw as MK calls it)My salt pepper squid salad was superb! No wonder so many people were having it.
We could sit there all day. Or rather, MK would have preferred we sit there all day.

They sell the cutest rabbits at $20 per pop.

Fremantle's yacht harbor.

I like this one of us.

I hate this long distance relationship!

Dream house at Hogswart.
He said he will retire in Perth. Why does everyone say that!! I want to be in Perth right now! Don't need to wait till i'm a wrinkly prune.Its probably a relief to the 2 hosts that we've left Hogsworth, Hogbart (wherever V lives, i forgot) so they can get on to their school assignments and private life, but all i want to say is thank you for the splendid weekend that couldn't have happened without you two.

I now know what friendship means.

Gone for the weekend...Again

2009-05-21T11:35:00.005+08:00

He has a weird logic that just because he is Ang Moh, he don't want to tour any Ang Moh country. But i convinced him to go Australia this weekend with me. Or rather, i didn't do much persuasion. The $110 cheap airfare won him over.

Counting Down...

2009-05-11T13:56:00.014+08:00

Finally had the chance to try the Korean BBQ thing. Look how many appetizers our seafood set comes with!I think i still prefer the Chinese style Ginseng Chicken soup. The Korean Ginseng Chicken comes porridge style. Very gluely...but he he thinks its very good stuff though. To be fair, the chicken done Korean style is very much tender than the Chinese style.Then got invited to the Audi Fashion Festival next door, featuring Ishak-something's collections. I had 3 glasses of wine, and that's IT for the night. Liked the 10 mins.free head and shoulder massage we got once we stepped in.The guy behind is quite a looker. His head must be SO BIG now, because every girl was poring over him. He's of Korean-and-something-else descent. He gave me his namecard which i dumped somewhere in my bag because i had too much wine.
By the way, fake eyelashes is the greatest invention for the lazy girl. I did not put make-up at all tonight. Not one dollop, not one dab. Just drawing the brows, sticking on the lashes and some lippy, and i already looked made-up.
So i could just head straight to bed and not worry about removing make-up. It is, after all, not the weekend yet. Must sleep early. Haha!
I LOVE this peice!
Ishak's collections were not runway WOW, not designs that are absolutely different but i must admit they are stunning, VERY fitting and VERY wearable. I have chope chope chope the Triumph's show for Fashion Festival already. I hope i get to see it this year, have been wanting to for many years, but not that important to be invited. Haha.

I want to see boobies!
I resist saying we met at a bar, although he insists. It wasn't a bar!! That place serves pizzas and buffalo wings.......AND alcohol (he ADDS). Fine, ok..why should i be afraid of the stereotype and judgment.
Travelling is our addiction. Cheap airfare is our drug. Best playmate-of-the-year.

Mere weeks to revisiting old memories. Need to dig out my autumn fashion. Should we stay away from Caversham because of the swine flu?

Mere months to my dream destination. Think i will lose out in fashion to the kawaii girls there.

Jaa Ne. See you soon Down Under.

Rants.

Why do parents have children? Is it really to have a family or are children an investment, an insurance?

Do Singaporeans marry early just so they can get out of their parent's home?

I'm stoked about showing him my "second home" (soon enough, we're going), yet being back there evokes past memories.

Just the other night, i missed the ex's call. I obssessed for half-a-day what he had wanted to say. I felt bad missing his call because i knew i had seen him through bad times and perhaps he was just having another bad time. Maybe he needed a listening ear. Someone whom you didn't need to tell the entire history of your problems to, someone who would understand, someone who never gave up hope, someone who always encouraged. But i guess it's probably because he was drunk.

When a relationship ends, do you turn bitter? Do you never be friends? I think that's sad. I have spent 3 years with someone, although it has ended, i cared and still do. Because if you stopped caring, if you stopped feeling, then maybe the relationship was never real.

But it's only platonic, if you believe. But don't ask me who will i save if both are drowning.Sometimes past lovers, crushes drop me a note once in awhile. It lets me know i am still thought of, but i doubt its anything more. I like that connection because i treasure memories, but my feelings don't get muddled, my visions are clear. I knew why i had moved on. But movies make us believe in fairytales, and perhaps they do exist. That lost time, past mistakes can be salvaged.

I often wonder, in a marriage, how can love just END? How can one party say to the other,

" Sorry, i don't love you anymore. So i cheated. I want a divorce."

Love didn't end in relationships (like how a mother never stops loving her child). Your boyfriend or girlfriend just found someone better or more suitable. Period.

Tips to avoid the flu.

2009-05-06T17:28:00.002+08:00

1) Eat right! Make sure you get your daily dose of fruits and veggies.

2) Take your vitamins and bump up your vitamin c.

3) Get plenty of exercise because exercise helps build your immune system.
Walk for at least hour a day, go for a swim, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.

4) Wash your hands often. If you can’t wash them, keep a bottle of antibacterialstuff around.

5) Wear a mask when out in public places and avoid going out in public as much as possible while the swine flu is spreading. Get lots of fresh air. Open windows whenever possible. Get plenty of rest. Try to eliminate as much stress from your life as you can.

OR …. You can take the doctor’s office approach. Think about it, when you gof or a shot, what do they do first? Clean your arm with alcohol.. Why? Because alcohol kills germs.

So…… I put on my mask, walk to the liquor store (exercise), I put lime in my Corona (fruit), celery in my Bloody Mary (veggies), drink on the bar patio (fresh air), get drunk, tell jokes, and laugh (eliminate stress) and then pass out (rest).

Alcoholics will definitely agree.

The Lady in Red.

Once upon a time, lives the fox spirit.

She loved to dance.

she had the power to make waves.
One day, she got her heart broken.

So heart broken, she could never dance again.

A night to remember.

2009-05-02T11:52:00.009+08:00

Fantastic food, romantic ambience, relaxing conversations.

No wonder we woke up (still) happy.
Recipe to Oreo cheese cake can be found at http://www.allrecipes.com/ It tastes really good and rather easy to make with no need for an oven(tedious in chopping cookies though)! My presentation was so ugly that my mum LAUGHED. Tried 'beautify-ing' it with MANY candles.
Happy BIRD Day.

P.S the clothes below are still for sale. Those without a 'SOLD' beside are still available.

My May Day

2009-05-02T11:16:00.005+08:00

Woke up bright and early to get into Johor fot this... the race track. My friend looks like she has no foot. That is SERIOUSLY eerie!

Surprisingly, the jam wasn't as bad as what we would have expected. But it sure was stressful organizing the convoy of 4 cars.It really is fun doing a day trip across the borders. Good and CHEAP food, shopping and just hanging out in a different country. I think even with the traffic and the dirty toilets, it is all still rather bearable and worth it.

She pretends blowing a whistle.

I floored the go-kart and made the boys' eyes open wide. They were all thinking, " Is this girl CRAZY?" I got dizzy after 5 rounds. Heat + the curvy track.

Typical Singaporean + Girls? Knowing the helmets will be stinky, we brought precautions. The smartest of them all is the one with the shower cap. Ok, it wasn't me who was THIS smart. My neighbour who is an experienced racer loaned me his personal helmet and passed me the shower cap.
I don't see why i bothered smiling.

Total Expenditure: SGD $30

Total Cost of fun: Priceless.

Check out my BICEPS.

I used to be able to do man push-ups. Not so much anymore, i have grown weak! Maybe i can still do 1 or 2, max 5. I exercise mainly to reduce stress, stay healthy and fit and to maintain slim. Ok, who am i kidding, it's mainly the last point. Hahaha! Therfore i don't do strength training but more cardio. But i am inclined to sports being a restless girl, i love them!

Every girl is vain. So don't be lazy!

But check out my BULGE (even without strength training) in this picture!!!

I think its the shadow, or maybe not. Not too sure. Can't be bothered to go photoshop my arms smaller either (you know me with highly photoshopped photos - time is precious).

I guess i do have rather defined arms, which is not from lifting weights. I used to do Judo when i was 13. Did that for 4 years, it made my arms big and then when i stopped, it turned flabby.

I still have the bye-bye bat wings now (as Ivan always teases me) but i'm happy with how it looks whether i wave good-bye or not. I am not one who can diet (very poor dicipline) but whenever i can, i make healthIER (not just healthy but healthIER, won't have to compromise too much on taste!haha) choices (no sugar, less oil, salt, water instead of soft drinks). However i still eat junk food (have anyone tried Calbee's UNAGI chips and SALMON WASABI??I saw it in Cheers supermart), chocolates and all those unhealthy char kway tiao etc. Singapore is a food paradise, it's just too hard to diet.

And to support my appetitie, i exercise regularly. Not too much, because you age. But just right. Good enough to maintain slim. I do yoga twice a week and run ever other day. Weekends are rest and relax, with the odd swim or two at his place.

My heaviest was at 52Kg (18 years old)when i kept snacking during lectures and my lightest was at 44kg (13 years old, before adulthood). I am now 48kg, a sweet figure.

People who are NOT fat =BMI between 18-25. (Calculate it here http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm), STOP saying you need to diet.

People who ARE fat, move your ass and work out coupled by a balanced diet (not by starving nor pills). There are just too many fat people who keep going on and on and on about their weight, and then starve or take pills, the easy way out (not quite as there are repercussions). I've seen some who THINK they are shaving off calories by not eating a proper lunch but eating ONE curry puff for lunch (it doesn't work that way).

Even with my disciplined exercise regime, i learnt from a gym that in order to continue eating anything i want, i need to boost my metabolic rate. Which means.....if i continue NOT watching my diet, i will eventually GROW FAT. I remembered at Tioman, he joked that all these sexy pictures will be kept for my children and then shown and lament, " that was your mum before..."

That won't happen, because i made a vow to be a MILF.

To boost that metabolic rate, i will have to build muscles = weight training. But i loathe the gym, it makes me feel like a hamster in a cage, on the wheel. I guess i'll still stay with how my routine is because i'm happy with what i am.

Live to Eat, not Eat to Live.

Celebrate Labour Day by treating yourself well!

Saturday morning, we head up to Seletar in search for the abandoned barracks. Initially i thought it will be alot more eerie but thankfully not. There's alot of sunlight streaming in and we saw a bunch of students filming for their location video production module. They didn't have to tell us they were doing Star Wars as we can CLEARLY see.

Boy they were good with their make-up and costumes. They even had the jedi swords, complete with the "Ziing Ziiiiing" sound. We saw condoms (not surprising. Although who the hell wanna screw at such a eerie DIRTY place), beehives and DIAPERS! Eer...seriously, who hangs out here? I was tempted to flip this diaper over.

I bet it is eerie at night.
that IS my friend you see. Not some 'ghost'. And with this backdrop...we created

these pictures....

Can't wait to see the rest. If he don't make it as a photographer, he can be a fashion designer.

She has the softest curls.

2009-04-27T15:23:00.002+08:00

She couldn't stop moving hence the blurred picture. But i always thought if i were to have a baby, i would like a boy.

Grin and bear it.

2009-04-27T15:20:00.003+08:00

If i am your girlfriend, will you be happy that i surprised you with 3 cupcakes or will you be ashamed i made you put on a sequined bow? Either way, i know i'm fantastic! Hahahahahahaha.

You tell me Funny or Not.

2009-04-27T11:50:00.002+08:00

A friend made my pictures "clearer". I felt something ridiculously odd when i first saw them.But then didn't think twice about it. Now i accidentally opened it again, and gosh! My EYES ARE OPEN WIDE STARING BACK AT ME.

Guess the originals.

This is why i never attempt to photoshop. It makes them so un-real.
Still, good effort my friend. I wondered how you did it :P

Pet Names Part 2.

2009-04-24T16:24:00.007+08:00

Talking about real pets now...SPCA recently had a huge spike in unwanted pets due to the recession. I won't go into moral talk because that's boring. Actually, do you get a pet just because its cute? What if your baby is not cute. Do you then abandon it?

But ok, maybe i cannot compare humans and animals.

Nonetheless, these are the top 3 dogs i will adopt... because they are just....

SO CUTE!

That is...if mum allows a dog.

I want a dog so badly that during my childhood days being deprived, i filled that void with all sorts of pets.

Tortoises,fishes, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits i had them all. Although they weren't my choice of pets. They were all abandoned, i mean, given. And they all died....the terrapin showed us its new trick, by flipping over when placed upside down. Being young and playful, we flipped it over one day and forgot about it. It couldn't flip before dinner time. So it died.

Another one crawled into the hole in the kitchen and never saw the light again. Then i saw the video of the turtles mating and oh my, why have i not seen it when i was rearing them!! My tortoises have zero sex drive.

Fishes died naturally or just got eaten (by bigger fishes, not us). Guinea pigs died naturally, followed by the rabbits (knowing how close they were) but my brothers insisted i killed the black rabbit. Just because i bathed it. The birds died because my dad sunned it (thinking it needs Vitamin D). Then my brothers bought meal worms and we built a playground for it. They grew into beatles and flew away.

But I had the BEST MEMORIES with my hamters. I LOVE HAMSTERS! My first one was abandoned, no i mean, given by my primary school teacher when i was 9. Ms Diana Tien came to my house with its cage and all (actually, i can't remember why she chose me. I must be her favourite! I think i was. Course she was my English teacher and i was ALWAYS more chummy with my English teachers).

It was a fluffy white male. Looked like a crazy scientist. And it peed in its food bowl. Ms Tien said it was probably frightened from the car ride. How sweet...so i bought a leash. And walked him, or rather he walked me under the void deck everyday.

Then i bought him a female..and so the family tree started. I love hamsters because they are SO GREEDY! I love feeding them. They are such fat fur balls. I bought hamster cheese, hamster chocolate, hamster sticks, all variety! Spent much of my allowance on hamster food. Then i realised they eat EVERYTHING! Including the household's leftover cooked rice.

The only thing i was reluctant to spend on were hamster cages. The fancy ones with all those fun stuff inside. Because...i built them their playground with recyclables!

Toilet rolls, legos, doll houses etc.
The babies came and i saw babies eaten, baby body parts around, blood and even deformed babies. I tell you, i was SO sad when i saw one baby born without a leg. And 1 baby fell from the table (took it out when it had a little fur and eyes were already opened) and therefore became paralysed waist down. I felt SO TERRIBLE. Saw it bullied by the rest when they push him away from the mother's nipples. So i spoon-fed him.

He was such a champion, he actually lived till a ripe old age. But his legs miraculously became well again, though weak. Maybe as he grew up, his bones strengthened so that fall didn't really paralysed him. I was GLAD i didn't conduct mercy killing when he was a baby and i felt so painful seeing him suffer. I had wanted to make him CRUTCHES!

I even saw mummy in labour! I was a very curious girl. When i have nothing to do, i sit outside and watch my hamsters sleep, eat, mate.

So one day, i peeped in and i SAW her pushing and wincing in her little house. REALLY! I could feel her pain. Do you think animals feel pain like humans do when in labour?

But alot of animals that i see on Animal Planet were expressionless when they were in labour. The females are usually VERY fierce. I saw how my female killed 2 males. They probably wanted to mate, no, rape her. So she tore their jaw and ripped their balls. No kidding.

I wish digital cameras were in trend then, i would have captured more pictures. But then, it was only film.

I had SO MANY hamsters that i started selling them (only successful once or twice)before people stopped wanting them. Then i had to give them away (surprise gift on my classmate's table). Then i had to persuade my teacher to allow class pets. Finally, pet shops took in my unwanted babies.

It was fun seeing the different colours come out. I was already an expert in cross-breeding them. They mate like there's no tommorrow. It's INCEST. And it turns me on. Not the incest part, but the mating part.

Then, i had to be the smartie and suggest to Bel to bring over her DWARF to mix with my SYRIAN (the big one) so we can have an in-between. My hamster killed hers. It was startled when the little one approached, when it gently swiped, the force was so strong, the dwarf flew to the other side of the cage.

Later i found out from the pet shop, it is impossible to cross dwarfs and syrians. He said even if it was possible, what will come out is just a breathing PIECE OF MEAT. What the......

I miss having hamsters. I think to date, i had 30 hamsters. Maximum 12 at one point. I only hated cleaning the cage oh-so-damn-regularly.

I now have a dwarf rabbit and its rabid. Absolutely nuts. Looks so innocently sweet but attacks you randomly. Only Ivan can tame her.

P.S i am not cruel to animals although i spoke about death. Its all part and parcel of life.

P.P.S there should be round 2 of my clothes. Thank you for your supportive response, i was pleasantly surprised :)

2009-04-21T18:54:00.019+08:00

Update: from feedback, i have labelled them better (whaaat...i am not a professional blogshop keeper what.So cheap for quality and style...i let it sell on its own :P)

I also discourage trying as i don't want my clothes to be in public toilets and i would like to preserve it for potential buyers. There is NO editing done on these pics, you see what you get.

To safeguard everyone's interest, once the deal is confirmed over email, i will need you to transfer the total sale to my account( so i won't be waiting at meeting place for a phantom buyer). Once that is received, we will proceed to meet. Since the items are so cheap and transport nowadays is so expensive, i'm afraid to say there can be no refunds (but i'm resonable,case-by-case basis).

Finally got to doing this because of the swollen mouth and therefore home. To make space in my wardrobe, and also not to 'waste' these lovely clothes. Then again, not quite a waste as i usually give them to the Salvation Army.Oh yeah, bringing FASHION to the third world countries! But these are almost BRAND NEW and too good to just give away. So, this....Well, i thought about setting up a stall at Zouk flea market too but it's so hard to get a spot.

I'm selling them not because they are old (i do not have the cheek to be selling unwanted old stuff, i respect my readers), but because either i grew out of it (too much chocolates) or grew too small for it (too much stress).

Actually, i'm not even sure if this sale will be as successful. My readership is NOT that high. But i'm only appealing to friends, friends who always complimented on my dressing. To see if they're interested.

Also, after this post...i am considering making this blog private. He expressed his opinion in preferring to keep our schedules private. And if i cannot blog about what i did with him, which equals to my life, then my blog is going to be so boring (no visuals) :(

Bringing out all these clothes made me take back quite afew as it relinquishes my liking. AARGH!!Nooooo....need to clear!

Puma, Mamma.

2009-04-19T14:06:00.003+08:00

What good timing! Just when my old shoes ripped from running everyday, lands a brand new Puma Light! Weighs probably only 200g. I picked it from that machine behind last Friday at Puma's launch party. It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to catch.

So HAPPY and LUCKY! Thanks L, for inviting me AND guiding me to the winning shoe. Heh.
The sprouting of my wisdom tooth gave me a bruised eye lately. Its as if my eye's been punched, but visibly you can't see anything wrong with it. So i had it extracted yesterday. I have been through so many procedures lately i can comfortably say i am no longer afraid of anything surgical. Hah! But i hate taking so many pills and xrays. Makes me feel i'm harming my body more than curing it.

Surprisingly, the wisdom tooth surgery did not scare/ hurt as much as i feared it would be. When the drilling came, it did however feel like my head is being drilled! (from the vibration).

The after-math? A better eye and a swollen mouth. I was telling him i feel so much more like a lady now. Because i cannot laugh out loud and big (which is what i normally am). Haha!

To SPG or not to SPG.

2009-04-15T14:46:00.005+08:00

A while ago, we were educating a foreigner about SPGS. It's one of our "Welcome to Singapore" introductory speech.

SPG has always been a derogatory term. And according to Wikipedia, they often refers to solely an Asian woman who who usually dresses and behaves in a provocative manner, and who exclusively dates and prefers white men.

The term has its fairly innocuous roots in the late 1940s-early 1950s when Singapore was still ruled by the British. As a general practice, the British forces personnel socialised very much among themselves, according to their military ranks and status (i.e officers and enlisted men). However, there were some instances when specific local guests were invited to social functions hosted by the British. The term 'Sarong Party' came into use to describe social functions which included local invited guests.

The stereotypical Sarong Party Girl has extremely tanned skin, a false foreign accent, and is provocatively dressed. Originally, the outfit of choice was thought to be a bikini/tank-top paired with a sarong, but that has changed. Many of them frequent nightclubs or other nightspots that are popular with expatriate white men, in order to meet and form relationships with them. Sarong Party Girls are known to prowl specific nightspots in Singapore along Orchard Towers, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, Emerald Hill and City Hall; the classic location being the now-defunct Carnegies at Far East Square.
Sarong Party Girls in local entertainment are usually portrayed as gold-digging, husband-snatching Asian sirens.

Now, i've never thought that the whites are of a better species. The only merit i admit to is, you get good looking Eurasian babies. That's it.

With the influx of more expats in our country, i know of a small group of Singaporean men "disliking" these whites. "Snatching" their rice bowls as well as their women.

And truth be told, i think it IS true. But that does not mean that we Singaporean women prefer the whites! It's just a probability and ratio thing. Do the maths.

I'm surprised to know there're 2 ladies in my office who are with whites. They SO DO NOT look or behave in ANY WAY like what Wikipedia described. Dress and behave provacatively.

I, however DO dress sexy (not provacative. but sexy). Don't every young girl do? Actually, no one has EVER called me an SPG (although my ex CHINESE bf always feels i am one. It's ironic). Even if someone do associate me as one, i am flattered. Because they are usually hot. Sirens! But when my ex bf calls me that, i am hurt. Him, of all people, shouldn't be judging me. Wouldn't 3 years with him taught him better?

I am tanned by birth (mum drank fresh milk with my elder brother, but gave up with her second child. Me. Drank coffee!!).

I speak proper English (with no accent), AND singlish AND mandarin ( I am so proud to be Chinese).

I do not go to clubs. Even if these supposedly SPGS hang out at places with more Whites than Chinese, again, do the maths. There ARE more expats coming into Singapore now.

I do not need a man's money because i am capable and able myself. Girls need to be independant and respected. Don't owe anyone or be obliged just because you received gifts. You know at the end of the day, there's only yourself to rely on. Not on man's money, not on daddy's money.

Actually, i'm not even sure why i'm ranting about this. I just think this topic is so amusing. Especially when while 'educating' the foreigner, he kept asking "HOW DO YOU TELL AN SPG?" He has NEVER heard of this before, coming from a far away country and Singapore is his FIRST Asian country. We kept telling him, " WE JUST KNOW." Then again, just being with a white, does that automatically name you an SPG?

I've always thought that you need to be educated and sophisticated to be an SPG. Because you need to be eloquent in order to communicate with a White. Again, of course there are eloquent Chinese, but conversational topics are different between an Asian and a White. But usually the eloquent Asians are very Westernised, no? Then comes the culture/ upbringing to differentiate them. So i think there's another subclass of an SPG. The truely sophiticated ones who are able to hold their own and the ones who really are with an expat for a 'thought' better life. Chinese can too. Just that priorities are different.

Chinese men have their merits. I like their traditional and sole provider thinking. I don't think race sets people apart, it's more of the character that brings you together. Seriously, although sometimes i make comments, i really don't care if that Thai, Philipino, Vietnamnese or Chinese is with a white. There's always someone for everyone. Will judging them make you any happier? Usually, people are just jealous, therefore they judge.

Why are the women always at the butt of the debate? I bet Chinese men dreams of a white girlfriend too. Just that there is not so much of a supply of white girls here and they usually come attached to someone else already. But again i say, it's not about race. Just that naturally, people tend to form impressions and stereotypes about races. Its more about personalities, not races. The only thing that will probably clash is cultural differences and upbringing.

And so, after educating the foreigner about the SPG.

He excitedly says "Take me to the SPGS!"

Salang Sayang.

2009-04-15T10:45:00.017+08:00

Not being able to buy in advance ferry tickets, we took a total of 15 hours to get to Tioman!! While waiting for our ferry from Mersing, we just sat and drank. Walk and then drank some more. Drank till i turn orange from all that fruit juice.And finally, we reach our island of seclusion. Its really seclusion because there is no public phones around, no reception on mobiles, no ferries out. All you do is..... Swim, swim, swim!

Hmm...droplets of sweat glistening. Oh, and i must inject this "Zac Efron is SOOOOOO HANDSOME!!!!" Haha. Ok, i know it's rather inappropriate but i took my girlfriend yesterday to an exclusive preview of 17 Again (Zac was sitting beside me). Surprisingly, the movie was really good. Not a dumb teenage flick but really funny and enjoyable.

I've never gone ga-ga or a fan of any celebrity. but yes, Zac and Tom Welling is the most handsome in my opinion. As for Chinese actors, it would be Daniel Wu and Jet Li (don't ask me why him!)

As for which females i think is hot, i have a long list. Alot of them are hot. I like looking at girls.

These black stripe yellow fishes are obvious cam whores!! Look at the video i took of them (towards the end of clip). They swim towards my camera, with their big unblinking eyes and open mouths. Close up, a little bit like Pirahna.

Having a lover also means a compaitable travelling partner. It's SO DIFFICULT to find friends to travel with! Usually, it's money issues (my friends nor my brothers have a savings habit).Otherwise it's a compatibility issue. Like who wants to do what, go where. Like swimming with the sharks, had to do alone. Bungee jumping, had to do alone. And usually, such activities are futher away from mainland. On the Sydney/Melbourne trip, i was blessed to have my girlfriends witness and take photos (very important!) of me diving with the sharks. They paid their own entrance and ferry fee. I was very touched, they had no obligation to. I was prepared to do the entire journey alone, just so to get another tick off my 'death wish'. I bought them lunch in appreciation.

And so as i explains to him, having a lover means having a permanent travel companion. Because more often than not, he/she is obliged to be available to you, for you. I mean, if i really have to, i have no qualms travelling alone. But i don't see any fun going overseas alone (UNLESS it's a SOLEY shopping trip!). Who's going to take pictures!!I see the air stewardesses buying tripod stands. But solo pictures are so boring!

So it's a bonus we're both adventure freaks. However, in the sea, he's more adventurous than me. I'm not a good swimmer, i dare not swim far and in strong currents. I take calculated risks.

Do you fear death? Sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. I don't because of faith, i do because there're many things i love in life.

We stayed at Salang Indah resort. I wouldn't really call it a resort, as it has no hot water, concrete floors, wooden beds. But i'm not a princess, so i could live. All i need is a place to bathe (even if cold) and a bed to sleep. The most posh hotel i've ever stayed was in Bali (only 1 in my 23 years of life!) which was sponsored. I have NEVER paid for a luxurious resort before. Even on family holidays, i end up taking the couch. As you can remember, the second most luxurious would already be Bintan, because of room service. Haha.

I'm just simple, easily satisfied with no unreasonable demands. I believe in saving accomodation cost so i can do more on my holidays or travel more destinations. But i have to admit, after living in the one in Bali, it certainly IS very shiok to return to a posh room even though you spend most of your time out.

So, after all that snorkelling and diving, we decided to fish! Here was the plan: we recee the waters out by snorkelling so we know where all the big fishes are...then we go rent a rod to cast it in the spot where we saw.

and below the jetty are SWARMS of fishes. And where the small fishies are, the big ones lurk. We saw a baracuda snapping away for food.

So he cast the rod, laid it down and said, "Now we wait." I was already taking out my chips, my mineral water and poker cards ready for a wait..when within seconds, the rod start to vibrate!

It was all very exciting when he just jumped over the railing, the whole time just shouting for "knife, knife, where's the knife!" and went down the slippery steps with a group of boys following (to join in the action?). It was a breath stopping operation. All he wanted to do was to free that poor fish. Because it was not really the sort of fish we eat usually. But it was BIG.He panicked. Because he really feels alot for the gasping fish. Its either free him fast enough to return to the sea, or kill it so it dies fast and painless. The hook was too deep. A group of people gathered to see the commotion and started snapping/video-ing away at the 'crime scene'. Maybe we're on Youtube. Hah!
We were hoping for a Baracuda for dinner. Instead, got a File fish. He felt really bad because it is more of a coral fish than an edible fish. Although, there ARE people who eat it. In Korea, it's a popular dried snack. It's so colourful when alive, but lost its colours once out from the water. Felt even more guilty when we actually saw it swimming happily in front of us from our earlier dive! I tried to console him by saing it's the circle of life. Fishes are part of our food chain.File fishes usually feed on algae. So our bait (squid) must be a real treat for it! At least it had a good last supper.We took it to the restaurant and got them to BBQ Mr. File for us. Watched the sun set as we waited for our dinner to be cooked. I think this is a really pretty picture. I am So Good. Heh. See what i mean? We saw it in our earlier dive!
Now, it's this. In loving memory of Mr. File. I told him maybe he can name his kid after the fish. Just so he can feel better about stomaching it. And then, i suddenly thought, what is the digestion process of a fish like? It was a big peice of bait it ate, and i doubt it had time to digest it. So when we gut the fish, will we find our bait inside?

Mr. File tasted very fresh, soft and sweet. Sounds like a girl, isn't it? Hmmm...dirty thoughts. LOL. We drank fruit juice and ate ice cream everyday by the beach. I'm not sure if the island people cannot understand us, or they are simply too contented to change their usual ways. When we tell them, NO SUGAR..they still put sugar in.

It rained quite abit while we were there. Thus the colours were not quite what i would like them to be. Rather gloomy. Had to edit the exposure and contrast with the computer.

On Salang, there're about 3 or 4 accomodations to choose. 3 main restaurants, 2 Ramlee burger stalls, 1 pub, 4 diving schools, 1 main convenience store, 4 other small ones selling LIZARD FOOD, bread for fishes and renting gear.
This was the other main restaurant where we tried on first day. I saw one of these babies in the sea! And i had them for dinner too. Haha! Stingray is my FAVOURITE! But do not try sambal kangkong or stingray on Tioman. ITS NOT THE SAME!

This place has an outdoor screen which plays Discovery Channel. We had to think what to do after dinner one night. Everyone heads to the one pub on the island. It's always rowdy there every night. We steered clear. We thought, a movie would be nice. Alas, our room has no TV. So we headed here and requested for a movie to be played on the large screen. Voila, we had our own outdoor cinema under the stars! Picked Ong Bak 2 and immediately have other diners' eyes hooked. It's my second time watching and i never get tired of re-watching fighting shows!

We woke up late on our first morning. Rushed to arrive in time for the boat out to snorkelling spots. It was a 10.30am-2.30pm tour. With no breakfast and no time to pack lunch, we only had Mr. Pringles and Mrs. Coke for survial.

We rationed our precious snacks and watch hungrily as others eat their packed nasi lemak and padang. This looks like a Pringles ad. Again, i am SO GOOD. LOL. Even the Komodo Dragons have it better than us as people throw them their leftovers. We feel sorry for the island though, as all these tourists left their thrash behind.So hungry he had to make a sand burger.

I CANNOT be directed by the boyfriend. I feel SO SHY. but of the good shots that came out, he does have a certain eye.

I look like i'm rock climbing! Looks like i'm advertising Columbia or some watch maybe.

Rock Formations.

My favourite boy.

Alot of water droplets around as my camera was encased in its diving suit.

P.S totally illusive about Zac sitting beside me bit.

Note to self: need to re-watch all those Jap dramas and pause at Takeshi Sorimachi scenes, fantasize and revise Japanese textbook.

Another note to self: need to STOP buying clothes and shoes to fund the other travel plans scheduled this year (Europe, Taiwan, Vietnam, Bali, Darwin and Cambodia)

Last note to self: start selling stash of unworn clothes from Australia to blog readers.

Opera Cake

2009-04-15T10:18:00.003+08:00

We bonded over cake baking. This is a recipe for Opera Cake. And like Opera usually is, it's quite a tedious cake process. Although i didn't break a sweat because i had a bakery's machine to beat my ingredients. A bakery's chef to guide at hand.

Pet Names

2009-04-07T10:34:00.004+08:00

My favourite picture to date.His dad wanted to take a picture of us before we set off. As if we're going to prom!

Wolverine's killer stare.

I was in the train this morning, and i overlooked this lady's shoulder while she was typing an SMS (call me voyeur, i was bored). Here she was wearing a power suit, looking late twenties. Her SMS wrote, " Good morning my sweet bunny (Cringe no.1. I thought maybe she's writing to her female friend!). Rub..Rub...Rub (Major Cringe no.1.1 Rub eeer..what?) I love you."

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe she IS writing to her female friend or daughter. Much as i try not to believe, she sent it to a male.

I know there're many people who give pet names to their lovers. Does that change when they get married? Or after marriage it becomes, "Mummy, Daddy" and perhaps even "Oey!" I can NEVER EVER call my boyfriend "Baby, Darling, Honey, Whatever". It just feels SO WEIRD on my lips! In fact, sometimes, its even weird just calling them by their names! I don't know why!!

It usually takes awhile before i get comfortable calling them by their names, lest a pet name. If i need to get his attention, i will usually just walk all the way to him and tap on his shoulder (especially so when my last boyfriend had the same name as me). He was walking the wrong direction, i ran after him instead of calling his name. Took me 30 seconds (20 feet away now) before i decided to just shout THE NAME.

I think i am the last person standing to not call anyone any pet name. Even my two brothers, who i so-do-not-think also call their gfs hair-raising pet names. I DO ADMIT however, i like terms of endearment being used on me. Does it feel the same on a guy? I know that IF he has always been calling me a certain term of endearment, and suddenly he doesn't, it makes me feel as if he's angry with me (although he's not) or if he don't love me as much anymore.

How soon do you start calling your lover "Baby, Darling"? And do you really feel she's your darling, your baby when you use that term on her? That's my question. Because i often wonder if people call for the SAKE of calling.

Pet names shouldn't be an obligation.

I still am adament to using pet names (i cannot anyway. Tongue-tied). Because I'd rather my actions speak louder than words.

Reminds me of Hong Kong. Japan, Japan, JAPAN!!! I can't wait.
Al Dente at Esplanade. Can go for a romantic dinner at reasonable prices. Tell me, really. Did the Esplanade's architect really had the Durian in mind when they designed it?

Boys can cook.

2009-04-07T09:05:00.002+08:00

They were 2 seperate dinners of course. This picture might not look as appetizing as the first, because we were already half way through this one. But it was sooo good! Roasted lamb, African style. The tomato-onion bread was also hand-made too! Quality stuff.

I have yet to do a real Chinese meal for the boys and i hope they do not ask. Hahahaha..because i am afraid they won't like it since i'm into really healthy Chinese cooking ( no salt, no sugar, no MSG, no oyster sauce, NO MEAT!).

I'll stick with washing the dishes for now.

Step into my space capsule

2009-04-07T09:01:00.002+08:00

HDB is renovating our toilets and i think my mum regretted agreeing to it. Now we're stuck with this for 10 days, with the option of bathing/pooing in bigger space capsules downstairs the void deck. House is in a mess, dust is everywhere. The poor rabbit, the poor mummy.

The only consolation, we get a bright and cheery colour. Red and yellow.

Turn your sound blaster up!

I never knew turtles make orgasmic sounds.
I never knew their ding dong's like a tail.
I never knew they get turned on by shoes.
I never knew they go at a pace just like they crawl.

I now know this turtle will probably get rumethism as he is just pumping into air.

Just Chill!

Full Moon Party.

2009-03-31T15:29:00.005+08:00

I never knew this existed. My first and my last.

2009-03-31T14:04:00.003+08:00

I took their jeans. So for $99.90, i gave my 2 hours for 2 minutes on stage. I think that's only fair.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Amused at all the girlie banter back-stage.

"Did you bring curling tongs?"

" Eek..my hair sucks!"

" Ahh! I need a straightener!"

"Oh! I haven't wear bra."

" Ahh! I need to shave my armpits!"

Ok, i added the last line myself. I think my line would be more important than any of the above.

77 turned up on stage. I wasn't in there. I exited back-stage when i saw everyone squeezing in front, flashing their pearlies for their last second of fame. It wasn't a criteria to roll up those tube tops. 77 turned up. 76 did. One didn't.

That was me. My friend said, " hey! EVERYONE showed their tummy. Why didn't you!"

I said, " I don't need to." 2 tables of supporters but the whole time i was looking out for that one person. Maybe he came to give a surprise. He would have been pleased to see i finished the night with dignity.

With all other girls shaking their booty.

He asked if i played the piano. I said yes, and i'm good with my fingers.

"What else are you good with?" I said my mouth, with talking.

"What is your sexiest?"

My personality.

Review and Rethink of the Supperclub

2009-03-26T14:52:00.011+08:00

Was at Raffles City passing time when a friend alerted us of a opening ceremony for one of the shops. So we hop over to pinch the reception and got travel adapters as door gifts! Frankly, i think if any member of the public walk by, they can simply blend in. Like we did.

Tumi..an American brand. Another atas label, another so not worth paying for. Their designs/colours look really cheapo to me. I've seen cheap bags looking even better. The best designed carry-on i saw was not even genuine leather but plastic and faux leather costs $900! No way, no way.

Supperclub holds a "feast" for 100 ladies each Wednesday. I finally managed to get a table for this free treat. I guess sales must really be plummeting for them to try this promotion. In hope for the bees to flock to the flowers. But that strategy is passe. Last night was Ladies Night, and everywhere i went to were more ladies than men. Everywhere. Except Le Noir. That place, is full of expats. And i suppose expats are more willingly to spend on drinking and being out. Singaporeans...are frugal with their spending.

We started off really excited about the dinner. The much heard about dinner at Supperclub. There were mix reviews. Some say its bad, some say its good. I wanted to find out for my own. They boasted of serving fine food and upclass performance. I was so looking forward to male models parading in underwear. Contortionists performing, Sado Machoist singing...

I was disappointed. The club looked just like in the picture. There was one tarrot card reader, which i couldn't get my turn with! The most exciting part is probably lying spread out on this bed.

Then the food came. Do you think that person is a Er or a Ess? I th its a tom-boyish girl. But then i saw another identical who i am sure is a boy. Were there 2 or was there only 1?

The appetizer was sliced beef with bean sprouts, prawns (measly 2 peices only!)with honeydew and salad. Followed by mushroom soup with goat cheese. Then lamb shanks for the main. We didn't even bother staying for dessert because it was simply too long = boring! There was NO performace, each course took 20 minutes to come. We were told to arrive punctually at 8pm. Dinner only started 8.30pm, by 10pm we were only at the main course.....impatient and easily bored Singaporeans just couldn't take it!!

The prawn salad came in this cute Chinese takeaway box. I dig those boxes! Buttcheeks used to give them out with purchases. Now they switch to cloth bags, and so i stopped buying.

But the food did taste fairly good. Small portions, not too oily, rightly spiced. Yes, we were grateful for the free meal, it was a good chance to catch up with friends in nice ambience and club setting. Music wasn't too loud to chat. But still....if you wanted to do this and get good reviews, then do it properly! Don't make us wait so long, don't cut out on the performances that is supposed to come as you have touted.

Although we were non-paying guests, consider you're paying for a promotional strategy. Called Word-of-Mouth. Powerful tool.

JB supper.

2009-03-21T23:04:00.002+08:00

My friends are crazy. They actually drive to Johor EVERY MID-WEEK for supper! After rejecting them for many weeks, i finally went.

Left at 11.30pm, returned at 2.30am. I woke up the next day at 7am for work. I thought i will be dead tired, but surprisingly not. It was a refreshing change. Going to JB just for supper and then shopping for *ahem*.That boneless chicken satay is sedap! And that green drink is Ba Long Long. It's somewhat like sugar cane with plum.
7 people. 6 dishes. Total bill RM22 each.

The other day, my best friend was telling me she was so "desperate" for love that she made the primary school kids that she teaches art to line up and give her a kiss.

1) Forced love is not blessed love
2) There's no such thing as a female pedophile, is there?
3) Good thing the hand foot mouth disease is over, for now.

Appetite for pictures.

2009-03-21T11:17:00.010+08:00

This is a very 80s shot. Something my mother will do when she's 20. Wind blowing in the hair. How cheesy, yet i'm doing it.
My ass looks as big as that thing la!
I can almost think of something to write on the spacious right hand side of the picture.

When one boy + one girl, bored at a BBQ= 1 CAM WHORE OPPORTUNITY.

I'm not sure, i think i still prefer my fringe to the side. The bangs are SO COMMON now!
I hope that's not wrinkles i'm seeing! Gosh! I'm 24 this year!
Those wedges make me cringe. Cause they look like platforms. Those that short ah lians wear.
I'm never really good in heels. I was so worried i was going to topple into the pool. I think that'll be the highlight of the BBQ. That would have been the plan. If i wanted to steal the limelight of the birthday girl.

Someone's looking really hungry.

The sky was red! Rain coming...

I don't know why...he raised his leg, i grabbed his leg. All i said was "Let's pose Street Fighter!"
By the way, i streamed it online at www.videostic.com (not quite worth $7 unless you're a hardcore Street Fighter or Kristen's fan)

Kristen Kreuk is so pretty!! But her Mandarin as well as Cantonese cannot make it. Edmund Chen....bleh....eeew....bleeeeh. I think Allan Wu will be better actually. But ok, give Edmund some credit. He wasn't thaaaaat bad. But i think Hongkongers do better in Hollywood movies. More realistic lah.

Speaking of Edmund, i've interacted with him before. He's a very charming (flirtateous?) kinda guy. Very PR-ish, very gentlemanly. He can charm anyone from age 4 to 80 (which actually is Channel 8's target audience).

See, i have unglam pictures too.

OG oyster.

2009-03-19T13:46:00.002+08:00

OG is having 20% storewide, so having one next to my office..i went in during lunch to spend some money.

After making a purchase, i got this coupon for a free oyster pearl. Now, if i haven't seen the lady digging the pearl out of the oyster RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES...i wouldn't have believed it was a real pearl. But she did, and it is. And i was lucky to get a rare pink pearl! Then comes the sales pitch...so rare,so pretty..wanna make it into a pendant? Ring? Earrings? Only $39.90 + 20% = $31.90!

And it truely is pretty...but i chose a pair of white pearl earrings instead. My pink pearl will look good as a pendant but i don't wear necklaces as much. I'm really into elegance sexy now, always has been.

Sitting back in my office now, i realised it doesn't make sense. If i had paid $31 for a pair of white pearl earrings...didn't i technically just bought a pair of earrings and it totally didn't matter that i got one pearl for free? Coz it's not like they halved the price, using my free pearl.

Aaaaargh!! Women! Distracted by pretty things.

Oh well, i've always wanted pearl earrings anyway (eyeing the braclet on the girl now too). But always saw those outside and wondered if they were real. At least mine are real.

Fresh from the oyster, literally.

Annoymous phone calls.

2009-03-16T13:56:00.004+08:00

His dad came to visit and i stored his temp.mobile number because i am more free than his son, so thought i could show him around Singapore.

On my off day, i called the dad and asked if he wants to go Chinatown.

I couldn't understand him. He sounded Indian.

But i thought maybe it's because his English isn't that good. Maybe the reception was bad. So i asked him to SMS me.

His sms came: I no ferrie.What is your naime.Hannis eouetr oaiourt doiuetr oaieutor (ok, not quite those words. I deleted it already, but you get the gist.)

So i called his son and apologised that i really cannot understand his Dad. Forwarded the message if that is their language. The Son said "no" and he cannot understand his Dad too. But he said his dad usually mumbles on the phone. So i thought that's normal.

I felt bad, because i kept hanging up on this man over the phone because i simply CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIM! Thinking it's his father, i felt terribly terribly bad.

Then this man smsed me...

Sleep no more. Open the door. Basket of fruits, beautiful day.

I thought his dad was trying to tell me he is already up, ready to go Chinatown! When i Smsed him, " Do you want to go Chinatown?" He replied, " Hi, nice to meet you. I want to yo."

So i turned up at his place, talked to his dad and explained i can't understand him on the phone. The dad was also nonchalent and replied me "Oh, is it? Maybe the reception is bad."

BUT THEN AFTER THIS FIASCO, I JUST REALISED HIS DAD HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO ME ON THE PHONE BEFORE AT ALL!!

I only found this out 3 days later. After endless calls and smses between me and the annoymous guy. I even asked his son why did his dad send me a love poem!

Roses are red, sky is blue. My love is true, only for you.

The mystery broke only when i was about to meet them up and the "dad" called again, when i was right outside his doorstep. I asked "hey, why did you call me?" when he opened the door. He went," Huh! i didn't call you!"

Then we found out that the dad have NEVER called or SMS me for the last few days. He doesn't even know my number! And so the son was shouting expletives down the phone the next time he phoned. Something like "Don't call again. I will call the Police etc."

but then he felt a little bad because after i explained the entire story, he found out it was ME who started the whole thing! Because i stored in his dad number wrongly! Got the last digit wrong.

He deciphered that this is probably a lonely foreign worker. Telling me he is on a ship, he cannot go to Chinatown right now. But he wants to and wants to be friends.

Yesterday, he probably passed my number to his friend (who can speak better English) to try again at me. I told him again politely, not to call me again and hung up. The son suggests that i store them as Ban** 1 and ***ga 2 just in case they call again.

LOL.

Saturday Night Twilight Fever.

2009-03-16T12:44:00.010+08:00

The Twilight party was abit of a let-down actually. The description sounded like a hellvua house party. But it wasn't. Not quite. Maybe it's just my standards. Considering i do not know how to appreciate free flow of alcohol. I'm more into deco and people ;p
It was a vampire themed party,actually.

He says "This is the French Goodbye. You don't have to tell anyone Goodbye."

The next night was better. Maybe course it's 1)not at a house therefore more "properly done"

2) good music (retro!) 3) FREE good food (hotel's restaurant) 4) FREE good drinks 5) more whacky people dressing to the theme (deco!)

This and the next picture look a lit' funny as i've something stuffed in my mouth. Haven't really eaten the whole day, i was starved! There were alot more beautiful people (boys and girls) but i didn't really went round in making friends (should have). But oh you know, how i hate making introductions and small talk (some guys did approach me, but i kept it short). So i just made the beeline to known friends.

Feel like porky tonight.

Sunsets..

2009-03-09T14:40:00.009+08:00

I never really thought sunsets were romantic (as clinche it always has been), but they sure make beautiful pictures.

Father and son in conversation.

If i crop it to just the skyline, i think it can be an award winning picture!

And i wasn't even a pro. All i needed was my fluroscent pink camera!

Do best friends still write letters now?Not even lovers do.

2009-03-07T12:08:00.009+08:00

Secondary school was where some of my best days of life happened. My best girlfriend and i wrote cards, letters and all sorts to each other almost daily.

I've held on to all my snail mail for almost 11 years now. Its time to throw them away to make space for more clothes (yikes!). But before i do, i read through them all, one by one. Over and over again. Here's what i learnt from reading those letters 11 years back:

When i was 13: Dewi and i loved Plaza Singapura. For the fact that our favourite shop was there. We both loved Winnie the Pooh, and we constantly bought Winnie the Pooh stationery to write to each other. Our letters pretty much contained stuff like 'problems' (Boy-girl-relationship sort), teachers (cannot stand Mrs Chia!) and 'oh shit, D&T project is due!'.
Dewi was the belle of the school then. Never ending of suitors. So of course, she had 'many boyfriends'. And i remember each and everyone of them. As she shares with me her 'problems' in her letters. With each new boy she has a crush on, she starts her letter with "I wanna marry him!!!" I smile now, because that's how innocent relationships were then.
Dewi was the best friend who introduced me shaving, makeup and a whole new wardrobe. She was the 'hip' one. I was the mountain tortoise.

Then came Sufen and Meowying whom i became good friends with too. And i read a letter from Dewi telling me she CAN be friends with them too and we all can hang out. I don't have to spilt. But guess that didn't happen and so we drifted, Dewi started hanging out with boys only. It was a different mix. Dewi thought she could blend in. But interests, characters, topics were just different. Dewi was just more 'ang-moh' while the other group were just 'chi-na'.
And there're some boy names mentioned in the letters that i simply can't recall. Did i go out with a certain Joel? I can't remember. I barely liked any boys at 13, much less go out on dates.

I only had 2 major crushes through the ages of 13-16. Ok, plus 2 more minor crushes. I remember how my heart ached when they never liked me back. But i never cried. Because my heart was never broken. 17-19, there was no one. Then at 19, i met my first boyfriend.

Who says boys don't write? These were all from boys. Norman wrote me a lot back then. The funniest and sweetest stuff, sometimes. Things like “ why you always say Louis Khoo and Takeshi Sorimachi is very handsome, but you never say I’m handsome?”
XB whom I met from a Judo trip to Changmai. I remember representing Singapore, lasted 30 seconds on the dojo. Remembered wearing long sleeved shirts everywhere because I was afraid of being jabbed by the aids needle on the busy streets. Remembered we had a lot of “talk”, because he was from another school, a lot more senior and was in top form in that sport. Jealousy from his female school mates, I reckon. Women are always jealous, no matter what. And we started writing to each other after the trip but it eventually died off.
And JK, whom I also met from that same trip. He too, started writing to me after the trip. He was a VERY emotional guy which seriously got on my nerves many times. Eventually, he got the hint and laid off but over the years, I found that though he might be emotional and irritating, he is a friend you can count on. Coming to an exhibition where I worked, sitting there just to chat with me to spend my time away. I think when he did that, he was no longer having feelings for me (I think). So I guess its not true that men always have a motive when they’re nice to the opposite sex.

All camps were never missing scraps of paper. I even wrote on toilet paper when the scraps ran out. Anything to get my note across :P
I miss camps. But I don’t quite like camps nowadays anymore. Chalets too. Maybe because I’m older. I prefer to sleep at 11pm, I prefer to bathe in my comfortable toilet than a dirty public, shower-can’t-be-taken-down, nowhere-to-put-toiletries place. But school and church camps were the most fun days. A lot happened with many daily interactions with the opposite sex! Haha.

The LOVE LETTERS…..

A wrote daily to me. So on a Monday, I will get 2 (Sat and Sun) because there is no school on weekends. We continued the penmanship for awhile until things turned sour when I thought I like his best friend better. Frankly, A was a very romantic and generous guy and I think his partner will be very fortunate. Just too bad I have no feelings. Around me, there’re many good men around. But when you’ve no feelings, you just have no feelings. I cannot be with someone JUST BECAUSE I need someone. Or be with someone just because he can make me a very happy rich princess. Most of the times, I think I am poorer because of a relationship because I’m more of a giver than a taker. And most of the times (no, make that ALL the time), I get whatever I want on my own capability so I do not need to rely on a man.

S was also a writer and romancer. He makes the most beautiful cards for me and did all my art homework. We had a lot of “talk” then because I just entered Secondary School and he was a senior, well reputation and with a fan club. I am a not-bad mountain tortoise. He was my very first crush that I think I stay fond of for many many years even after many other crushes, schools and eventually relationships. Not that there’s anything to feel threatened about. It’s just platonic fondness after Secondary School.
When I was 15: My heart skipped a beat when this crush wrote me one Valentine’s Day. You can imagine how elated I was because I’ve always liked him but he always ended up being with someone around me, but just not me. Not that I really wanted a relationship then anyway. I do not know what is a relationship. Too innocent already. Haha..

I had a lot of pen pals too! Jobina..whom I’ve NEVER ever met. I think she was my elder brother’s MRIC friend. Haha, I can’t remember how we even started. But I think my brother told me she wasn’t quite a looker.

Then pen pals from overseas. These cards were from cute little boys that I met on my family holiday in New Zealand. And Isa, a pen pal from Holland whom I met on another family holiday in Sarawak. I saved her from falling into a river. Since then, she’s sent me countless parcels and written me many letters. She was probably close to 70 when I saved her. This is morbid and probably abit greedy, but I knew she was childless and kinless. So I was wondering if she would leave me her Holland fortune when she leaves..Muahahaha! Me being her saviour. Haha!

My friends probably think i wanna c a naked man very much. Received 2 similar cards on my birthday! One was from the USA though. Hallmark is international.
So why did snail writing stop? Why did it die off with me and my pen pals? Definitely it wasn’t me who stopped. I love sending and receiving snail mail. It could be time, it could be life changes. With emails, sms, Facebook,no one bothers with snail mail anymore. How many Christmas cards do you receive now? The saddest thing I’ve learnt was my ex boyfriend never read any of my cards/ letters to him. And if he had never bothered to read what his lover wrote, how much of a lover was he?

He did finally read. But it was all too late.

2009-02-24T21:00:00.002+08:00

My friend went on a hiatus from photography. He recently came back, and i must say he's out of practice. Compared to the last 2 impromptu sessions we had, this session had less nice shots out of the dozens experimental shots.

This boy always has a camera with him without fail that whenever we meet for coffee, we end up taking pictures. Oh well, he loves photographing, i love being photographed.I wasn't quite in the mood though, actually. No make-up, dressed in slack tee and jeans. He had this great idea to have me put on BRIGHT RED lipstick. For effect. So he bought a cheapo $3 lipstick from a chapalang shop.

I think it'll be nicer if i could make the entire photo in BW, then only the lips in colour. But i'm too lazy and i'm not good at photoshop.
Struck some obligatory poses. Feeling quite sian already.
This is the first shot. Totally sullen. I wasn't even posing.

The blue glasses are from my younger brother's gf. I think it looks better on me. hahhaa..

Can someone calculate how much i've spent on bikinis and tell me?

We officially made pizza.

2009-02-23T23:11:00.004+08:00

He's SO GOOD with lagsane, pizza and pasta.

It was tedious making pizza, considering we start right from making dough. Yeast, flour, water, olive oil, sugar, salt and milk. Knead,pour, knead, bake, knead.

But it was so so good. Quality pizza you know, not junk food. So healthy that even my parents asked for more.

If you want to be a good mother, start learning to make your own pizza.

I wonder what parents think...

German Carnival 2009

2009-02-23T13:51:00.017+08:00

98.9% of the people were dressed up. Everyone was a good sport, a few were into character even. I even saw some Arab women all covered up (Ang Moh underneath) grooving to the music. Although with their attire, they only can bob.
Back in Germany, they have this carnival annually where everyone gets pissed drunk,dressed up and makes out with strangers.

Cheery traditional songs are played in their mother tongue, everyone sings along and do the choo-choo train.
I told her i found my Minnie Mouse at a sex shop, did she too?

I thought i was Alice in Wonderland. He did say before leaving my house that if i was Alice, i should be bringing my rabbit along.
But everyone there rightfully informed me i was wearing the traditional costume of South Germany, worn by the Bavarians.

The girls wear it during their Oktober fest. I found mine in one of those role playing stores and thus the skirt was very short. But i googled and the ones that the girls wear in reality are very sexy too. Oh well, all kinds of fetishes. Just like Minnie Mouse.

I've been mingling between two communities now. One local, the other foreign. There're differences that you can't deny. Wait, this observation is made on impressions people make on me the very first time we meet. Not on people whom you're ALREADY friends with.
The locals whom i met the first time were mostly mundane and somewhat boring. (disclaimer: although they can get exciting AFTER the first meeting)
this is because as Asians, we are generally more reserved. You do not talk taboo on the first meeting. And so what do you talk about when you just meet a person?
" What do you do?" "OIC, tell me more about your job." "What was your previous job?" "Oh yes, economy now very bad.."
Damn BORING can!! Then the whole night i must repeat the same thing over and over again to different first-time people i meet. Maybe some will develop into something more exciting, then those are the ones i keep in contact with. But in general, i wish from the start of that polite dinner/drinks session, i could announce to EVERYONE my job, what i do and my previous job.
Saves me saliva. Or maybe its just me. Maybe i'm unconventional. I asked him when i first met him,

" Excuse me do you shape your eyebrows?Its nicer than mine."

" And are you gay?"
I spoke my mind, it wasn't a pick-up line (rhymes eh?).

BUT then, the local first-times are also the only ones whom you can use your local slang/jokes and be understood. You talk about issues and beliefs that only Asians will agree. With Westerners, you just get into a debate. Sometimes heated, because they cannot accept your Asian thinking even though they are in MY society.

Meeting a Westerner for the first time, can start very interesting conversations. They do not hold anything back, and so within ten minutes, you can know their deep dark secrets and you'll think you're the new best friend!

Like sex parties, drugs etc.

Sometimes i'm glad Singapore has its strict laws on such, but then you also wouldn't know what goes underground. Which then, makes it even harder to control. When people are oppressed, they do anything. Look at Japan..

And so because i was typically Asian, i asked one of the boys at the party "what's your occupation here in Singapore?" Nothing more original to start a conversation. I'm so boring.

"I'm a gay club stripper," was his reply.
And i told him i work with prisoners. He continued pulling my leg by saying he can earn 10-15 grand a night, and the location is secret etc. But i could tell he's even more intrigued with my occupation because i wasn't lying. Technically. Actually i knew he was kidding me, but somehow i wasn't sure if it was real or not. You never know, you know.

And so i realised how come Westerners can come up with some original conversation opening liners but Asians cannot? Is it because Westerners are more frivalous and players? And Asians are more sincere and respectful? I suppose there's no good nor bad, whatever suits your taste.

Attraction is not bound by age, race nor culture.
P.S whatever that i just said has no relevance or link to the photos. Am not claiming that whatever i heard, whoever said what are from those humans in photos.

Counting Bikinis

2009-02-21T11:10:00.016+08:00

I thought i'd only have one. I wasn't a fan of bikinis in the beginning, seriously. This was my very first one. From Bugis. Cost $25. I was 16 and Xinci organised a surprise birthday BBQ at Sentosa for me.
You know, i think it might be true. That as you grow older, you develop deeper double eye lids. Look at my eyes when i was younger and now....its not any bigger or deeper now but i think there is a slight change. Gravity and age pulls your eyelids down. Then my second bikini came, coutesy of this shoot. I went shopping with them and i think it was ridiculous. Their taste. See, for a that pink brandLESS bikini (which i think i can find at bugis village), they paid $69 for it when i felt it should only cost $15, $25 max.
And so it was never my favourite bikini because quality was poor, shape was poor (very loose), it just doesn't look 69 you know. So i took it to the dead sea with me. The tour guide asked us to bring an old (don't want anymore) swimsuit. I thought "hey, if it spoilt, never mind."
but it didn't spoil. Even after soaking it in serious salted waters and rubbing mud all over. Interestingly, its the second bikini that my boyfriend likes the most though (first is the white one, everybody likes the white one) He thinks it hot. Of course it is, because it shows SO MUCH. The bottom is only tied with the string by the side. Which is also why i'm not quite comfortable wearing it. Them my third bikini, which is from Blum at Tampines Mall. Was $25.
It was Lingfeng's 21st birthday party at Sentosa, again.
As you can see from i'm the one one wearing a swimsuit. CHURCH group *yawn*This one actually comes out pretty in pictures but not so in real life. Its one size too big for me actually. And its actually a full length top, but i fold it up for obvious reasons. haha. I was 19.

Then stopped the bikini buying for 2 years. Sara sent me the striped one when i was in Perth. It's nice, but i don't wear it often because the bottom was too revealing (a G!).
Then, i bought this at a surf sale. AUD 49, it was a Billabong.

I was at Adventure World on a roller coaster and my friends said i look xxx in this.
I brought my first bikini along with me. It lasted 5 years! But i left it behind when i left Australia. It was beginning to lose shape.Then i bought this at another sale. It was AUD 30 i think. You know, because i clocked in almost 25 hours every week working, i earned alot to feed my shopping frenzy. Having spending power is bliss. Retail therapy is my relief for stress and unhappiness. Although, i'm seldom stress or unhappy. Then again, you don't need a reason to shop.

Wait, you mean you only buy when you need to? Is that how it works?
Then i thought i'd need another black one because i thrashed my old one. So that's another AUD 49.

When i returned, i celebrated my new job with more shopping. At the same time, i had a diving trip and so i thought i need a new bikini!
I liked this one, because it fit to my body like a second skin and made the crucial body part look full without much padding.
Cost me $69

A guy friend told me before the hip bone of the woman is very sexy. That line (bone) you see going down towards the crotch. Guys have it too, but i think its called the sex muscle. Other parts that male friends found sexy were the nape, the collar bone and the small of the back.

Me personally likes the stomach (not bulging one yet not necessary needing abs) and broad shoulders. Then i thought one-peice swimsuits are sexier. I liked the print then, now not so much anymore.
Anyone wants to buy? It cost $69.
Then Bali came up and i needed a new one again! $69.
Finally, the all-time favourite by everyone. I was so sad that the coke can BURST in my bag and stained my bikini. After i only wore it once! There's a slight yellow stain on the bottom now, not obvious but you know....

I hate COKE for this. See how damaging coke is? It stains your TEETH! Cannot get out!

If only the sea was blue like Australia's. I just realise all my beach photos in Singapore were at Sentosa. How unoriginal. Except 2 in the earlier ones. One was at ECP, the other at Big Splash.
This was $59. It came in red, black, brown, pink. So glad i chose white. It stands out. I've been contemplating buying another one as spare tyre. Just in case you know, since its SO NICE.

But Yvonne stopped me and said i was silly. Dixi encouraged me though, but in a different colour.
I didn't buy. But am still THINKING!
Maybe not, since now i have the VS one-peice in black arriving. Will i get similar rave reviews to beat this one? My latest buy. I waited 3 months for this. I liked it because it looked very rocker chick and like a tattoo. $79. Its expensive because of the material. Like the blue one i wore while diving. Fits to you like a second skin.I will take this to Langkawi in March.

As the lady boss in the bikini shop says, " You're only young once! You think you will be wearing them when you're 40? Buy now, wear now, and take photos!!"

This reminds me i need to start cutting back on junk food and exercising more. Have been going out and pigging out so much that my boobs are growing bigger (a.k.a getting fat).

2009-02-19T15:24:00.001+08:00

Its kinda boring recently. Oh, these are for memories' sake. I cut my hair by the way.

Virgin start.

2009-02-19T14:00:00.002+08:00

I'm not quite sure why i did it. I've never ever shopped online for the obvious reasons of why you don't shop online.But i've heard so much about VS that once i went on, i got hooked just looking at the gorgeous beauties and devine clothes.

So i broke down, wiped out my card and tried...for my very first time

I'll let you know if they arrive exactly like what it looks and if the size XS fits Asians (fingers crossed). The overall purchase didn't really do quite much damage as i bought the sale peices (although not quite sale after the exchange rate) but still a steal BECAUSE of the exchange rate (1.5SGD=1 USD). Delivery is sorta waived and i get a free tote bag.

Bikinis,bags, shoes, clothes and all things nice are my vice.

The Cage of Death

2009-02-19T13:34:00.003+08:00

2 years ago, i swam with the sharks. It was a really liberating activity, to come this close to this menacing creature. So comes to an end of thrill seeking quest. I mean i've bungee jumped, fed the tigers, sky dived, white water rafted...i thought i've done it all....or so i thought until...

my dad sent me this email.The latest tourist attraction in Darwin, Australia. My parents have never quite supported my dangerous activities, but they do know i love such. Besides, they usually only get to know after i've done it. Like feeding the tigers and diving with the sharks. Which i did while holidaying on my own.

I love being single and able with the world and its activities at my disposal. I am very blessed with good fortune like a complete family, a job, an education, health and reasonably wealth.

I've emailed Crocosarus Cove for their price list.

Can't you tell i'm serious?

I'm so excited. I hope the boyfriend's up for it.

Otherwise, i'll still do it. Yes, i'm crazy.

Totally unplanned.

2009-02-13T16:12:00.003+08:00

You know although i'm an adventurous girl, i prefer to have my life planned. My schedule planned, my daily activities planned. I don't like surprises, unless they're material presents.

I try to go with the wind, i run with my partner. And because i'm highly adaptable and versatile, i don't have any problems doing that although i get this uncomfortable feeling in my heart. Unsettling feeling.

But last night, he mentioned to jet off this weekend. Just 4 hours before work ends to search for buy-able cheap tickets.

So i packed last night, taking along a small bag to work. Just in case, for in case...

and i realised with this burst of spontanity..it totally rocks my socks off.

Alas, i'm not Victoria Beckham who can jet off to a neighbouring country without taking anything because she can simply buy everything.

Tokyo Drift

2009-02-13T16:05:00.002+08:00

I'm stoked about Japan. I can't wait for this June and i'm grateful my girlfriend is game.

This is what i'm going to be doing:

1) buy Soft on Demand (Japan sells USBs in 4GB and more, complete with porn movies inside with lusty pictures on the casing. $25 for a 4GB USB is cheap right? Provided the USB is USEABLE. and not just porn inside.

2) check into a love hotel.

3) hunt down shops that sells weird shit like "School girl's saliva on sale"

4) buy a second-hand magazine from homeless boys who collect unwanted magazines from bus and train stations to set up their make-shift newspaper stand.

5) eat naked sushi

6) and other boring things like eating sashimi, seeing beautiful scener, shopping fashionably, and visiting Disneyland.

Sibling Rivalry.

2009-02-09T17:21:00.005+08:00

We always had an amiable growing up together. My elder brother bought me my first Barbie, then Ken then Barbie's cousin (this little girl which i pretend is Barbie's daughter) then Strawberry Cupcake then Polly Pocket. I wonder why never Cabbage Patch Kids.

Then my younger brother will play with me all of the above, plus he was my pet and my robot.

And i hoax my brothers into paying 50 cents for my home library membership (later increased to $1) but i gave them free goodie bags of tidbits for joining. They never did borrow books because they never liked reading.

Three's not a crowd.

The Obligatory Graduation Picture.

2009-02-09T16:40:00.004+08:00

I don't quite understand what is this about a MUST photoshoot with the family whenever there is a graduate from the family. Its like you walk into every home who has one, there you'll see one framed in the living room.

I think it's a Singaporean thing. Because a paper qualification is so important and it's like a show-off of your intellectual ability. It's something where the aunties in the markets will go, "my daughter is a NTU graduate you know...."

Which makes me wonder, if your child is a buay tak chek, and probably went to some overseas uni to 'buy' a degree, will you still be taking such an obligatory picture?

But yes, mine IS an overseas degree (Australia), i wouldn't say i am a scholar, neither did i buy my degree. But i sure am confident to make a mockery out of this graduation thing. Or rather, my elder brother came up with the idea.

My guy friends say i look like my mum and so they know how i'll look like when i'm older. Thankfully, the boys said "Yes, they'll still like to grow old with me". Pardon my mum's bulging tummy. I was too lazy to do any editing, i don't usually do anyway. You see me as it is. Hey, she's got 3 kids and with age, that tummy is pardonable. Besides, my father is a good man who simply doesn't care about the outlook. That includes female hairy armpits. Not saying that my mum has one though.....

See. So proud of the certification like fawning over a newborn baby.

So yes, if you ask me if i'm framing it up for my living room?

I am.

Going to the cinema..

2009-02-06T21:22:00.003+08:00

I guess we were disappointed. We didn't see the umbrella totting dirty old men. We didn't see the dirty stained seats. We didn't see much bre****, di*** or pu***. What we did see were, some hand action from the man right in front, and a half naked man suddenly walking into the cinema halfway.

The lobby was so ancient! Some of the younger boys have never ever seen such a cinema before. R asked if we're going to be sitting on wooden benches.

The auntie at the ticket stall actually checked for our IDS!!
6 of us standing in front, deciding which to pick. There's Black Waters (English), Maharot (Philipino), Raped by an Angel (Hong Kong), Lotto Love (Japanese), and Costume Play (Japanese). I think Costume Play sounds the most exciting and erotic, but pity the last show was at 7pm.

So we had to watch Lotto Love. Which is about a husband who is so addicted to gambling that one day his wife decides to starve him off sex so he buys lottery from her instead. In exchange for sexual favors...you go imagine.

I think T kept the tickets as souvenir. It's so old-school! I still remember those old cinema tickets where the seller write your seat number in red crayon!
Everyone's heart stopped for awhile, hoping this uncle won't ask for ID again. I think the boys were feeling kinda sheepish too.
They were damn excited going up the escalator! Like foreplay, unsure of what awaits.

Would have cam-whored much. But i didn't want to look suspicious! Was so afraid someone will come expose us/throw us out of the cinema when we talked and laughed so loud in the cinema. Disturbing the real movie-goers with their hand action.
Hor** teenagers-in-crime.

Sparkler Boys.

2009-02-02T11:21:00.007+08:00

Somehow didn't cam whore much this new year. Just didn't feel like it even on reunion dinner night and many other various days. I didn't even wear new clothes, even though i had many. But its his first Chinese new year and he's such a cutie embracing his other half culture. The funniest conversation i had with him was on FB:

He: The lion was here
Me: What lion? The awards?
He: No, the lion.
Me: Huh? What? The animal that roars?
He: the lion, the lion, the LION!!!
Me: What, what, what? There something happening today i need to know? I don't remember.
He: The LION!!! LION! LION!!
Me: ELEPHANT!!

Then i found out, its the lion that's doing the DANCE at his office right now. He's so stoked about the lion spewing salad (as he calls it. Its actually just lettuce) and arranging the oranges. He wants to join the troupe now.

P.S the picture above is mosaic because it is a VERY IMPORTANT SINGAPOREAN's house. I better be safe, don't wanna get into trouble for blogging. But i thought the Plum Blossoms looked nice (ok, actually me.)

I love the sparkler boys!

Took us to the very lovely restaurant that DC brought me. I love DC too! He's the BEST MALE friend ever. No motives, totally gentleman and generous to a friend, moi whom he've seen the best and worst side. Ok, just in case the other best male friend WB gets jealous, he is also my favourite. I have alot of good male friends. I want girlfriends!! But they always have their own agenda, too busy for me coz i'm not a potential mate. Bleh. That's my own deduction. Ha.

Sweet potato that costs $12. There's also the ONE fresh tomato that costs $12. Everything is flown in from Japan daily, thus the exorbitant pricing.
We didn't quite feel the heat while they peng kang our yakitoris.

He had to sit in the electric chair for being naughty.
And then his head rolls on the chopping board. Yea, i'm into SM and i'm a dominatrix. HAh.
This is where i'm going to start work next.Reminds me of Perth, kinda. Ok, not quite if you expand this picture further.
New babe in sight. Heh.

Bored.

2009-01-29T11:56:00.003+08:00

Gaahh...it irks me when things are on my mind, yet not executing plans.

In no order:
Vietnam
Cambodia
Egypt
Africa
Japan
Taiwan

See, i'm not too greedy, am i?

P.S that tissue in my hand spoils the picture. I always have tissues in my hand. I'm a sweating pig. Hardly sexy at all.

My weekend.

2009-01-22T20:00:00.008+08:00

Skipper for the day.

I did this on my own.

He did this for me. I look like a walrus.

It was the Volvo Ocean Race where sailing boats race to China next. We in the middle of their race course, but frankly, there ain't that much excitement going on because they were'nt really going all that fast.
BBQ!
My bright pink camera proved to be too distracting for him.
Marshmellow arms.Sedated on ice-cream. It was very hot!

Can't wait!

I love free Indian cuisine.

Boy Caught on Fire in a Case of Misadventure at Barbeque.

2009-01-16T12:51:00.010+08:00

It looks like someone's crotch is on fire isn't it? Ivan had to play with the lighter, and it burst into flames on his hand. Quite exciting. Are you afraid of fire or water? Both for me. But i'm not afraid of the dark or heights.
Not quite sure what's with all those hands.

Had a BBQ last Tuesday at the roof top of Siping's house. Fantastic hang-out place.

Look at the boys staring intently at Disco Boy. Its this lighted up ball that sings Crazy Frog and bounces around. The battery was dying and the boys were taking a bet how long it would last. So they stared, and stared, and stared!

Dogs are attracted by lighted up balls too.
They were also researching over the theory of 'giving energy' to the ball. If you touch it, your energy passes to it, therefore giving it more battery life.
It was so windy on top that we kept wanting to do a Marilyn Monroe with my flowly skirt. But it was a total failure and ended with this shot. I know, my legs look awkward.
SP was saying 'group shot, group shot!'. Obviously, everyone else ignored her. Except Elynn right behind with her funny expression.
Showing off their latest handphones.
Roof top Frenzy.

I see someone's 'twiss' sign trying to get in the picture behind.
The honey wings are fantastic.
He's all hot and sticky while i'm fresh and clean.

Do you see Ivan's hotdog?

Couldn't control.

Can you count how many heads are in the picture?4.

My caveman is so into barbeque-ing.

We haven't hung out for a year. It was a little quiet at first when we just gathered. But into the night, we warmed up and what a night, i miss those nights.

New kid on the block.

2009-01-16T12:08:00.006+08:00

Have you heard about the latest high-end condo in town? These random guys just joined our picture. Now, i really must say there is a difference in race and culture. See, the 2 guys are westerners. One is obviously an ang moh. The other is a ABC. I believe it's because he has somewhat Asian blood and therefore he is not that 'touchy feely' with girls because Asian men are generally more reserved. Especially with strangers!! The other ang moh, abit touchy feely with my girlfriend. But it's just them.

So the ABC didn't touch, but was friendly but maintained a distance and well-mannered. He was the cutest, coincidentally. But no, we didn't make friends with them. They were hit-and-run for us, or maybe me as my friends left for Butter Factory. I was only interested in getting home to bed.
We were there to visit a friend who lived on the 60th floor. Imagine if all the lifts break down. LOL.
Soon, i'll be visiting that place more often. Excellent amenities and just right next to the town's MRT! Just hope it won't be overpopulated. I asked the agent and there's 900 units there!

Ok, my friend asked me to pose with the ball. I didn't know what to do, so i did a crappy one.

Convincing?

This is it.

2009-01-12T11:39:00.002+08:00

And so, i need a picture to put on my CV. Since i've the looks, got to use the looks to sway applications. Haha! But now that i've to take portrait, full-on, i don't look that hot anymore, do i, Toufu boy?

Hotness is with the lighting, the angling, the sexy clothes.

IC photos never look good. Fine, maybe for me only.

See, lose the shirt, add the angling and the dress...i look more appealing. Can i use this for my resume instead?

Which will you hire? Comment on this post, if you wish.

I learnt not to be greedy. I learnt not to be cheap-skate. I learnt sometimes free things are better not taken.

My long nice eyelashes are now burnt and spoilt, they look like pubic hair.

P.S My friends who chose to lose their eyes instead of their **** in a terrorist hostage situation, perhaps you might like to watch the movie Blindness to reconsider your decision.

Turning 24.

2009-01-08T21:39:00.005+08:00

Casanova and his bevy of babes. Maybe she's less popular this year (but really, just alot more friends are still on holidays), only 70 turned up compared to 200 the last year. 200 turned up last year, can you believe it! Machiam wedding dinner la! Nonetheless, she is a very popular girl, a social butterfly and loved by her friends.

It was a smashing birthday party because many people not only get to eat cake, they get to network too.
It was held atop The Sail. Look at that view, 44 levels up. The facilities are astounding, mud pool, spa, pool gym. I look forward to enjoying the view and the facilities on his rent! Because what good is it if you haven't got a friend to share soaking in the pool with and bouncing a tennis ball with no one? Fingers crossed that we can really host a coupling party at the same spot come Valentine's. Anyone RSVP-ing yet?

Before the sun sets. It's a silver themed party! I was telling the birthday girl i aint got anything in silver. And i thought of coming wrapped in aluminum foil. Luckily, i found my grey winter dress. Good thing it wasn't too hot.

4 men that night asked if i was Japanese or even local, and alot more others with random questions. Conversation starters, i suppose. I had fun networking, but at the end of the night, all i want to do is sip champagne and lick ice-cream with him.

I think Kristine was jealous. She kept flitting over to us, but I'm not sure if it was me she wanted to talk to, or him. Hahaha!

He LOVES to do this. Tickle me whilst taking picture. He reckons i will make a funny face. But i don't! He does.

Such a funny picture! They said this is a shopping ad.

2009-01-01T21:20:00.004+08:00

Does it remind you of Mickey's hand in Disneyland? I have never counted down in public before, because i hate crowds. But i made an exception for 2008. It was a relief that Singapore had a rather good system with the public transport and police to do crowd control. I even emailed SMRT at 6pm that day to ask what time was the last train, they replied me almost immediately! So impressed. Unlike Australia...they reply enquires a week later!
We had prime not too crowded spots to watch the fireworks from On The Bund at Clifford Pier. All thanks to our social butterfly.
I was telling them i had this idea of a guy proposing to me with fireworks. Maybe i think its romantic to be seeing shooting stars with your lover. And since shooting stars are like one in a thousand times that you catch it, fireworks are equivalent.

And when i thought of that, i didn't know fireworks were THAT expensive. So the guys were saying if my man proposed with fireworks, does that mean he don't have to get a ring? Of course he had to get a ring still! Because a ring has a meaning to a marriage. But, the ring doesn't have to be a diamond one. Nor expensive. I'm quite happy with a white gold or a nice plastic one. Then again maybe i'll be practical and he can propose with a cheap ring PLUS a walk-in wardrobe of pretty clothes.

Seriously, i don't understand why must a price tag be tagged to the proposal ring. Why does Chris Lee spend $50K on his proposal ring and those Hollywood stars $1.5 mil. If that is the case, i'll rather have the cash and buy my own multiple bling-blings.

But i'm not quite a jewelry person. I prefer fashionable accessories. Like this, i won't get my fingers chopped or ears cut in case of a robbery.

So boring right! All in black. I wanted to wear red. But it's too sexy, and i had to take the train home so i did not.
The Christmas tree is still up! My office last week was already playing Chinese New Year MTVs.
That pose did not quite match the Pochantas look. Alot of people commented on that braid though, even the security guards! I was afraid Singaporeans don't quite take this fashion. Was worried i would be mocked at. But i guess since it was in black, it wasn't too attention grabbing like those in pink or brown.

They say i look like from an epic movie. Cleopatra perhaps?

Kenneth says he reads my blog because he is not as happening as me. Ha. Actually, i am not happening at all. My everyday life includes going to work, coming home, jog then dinner, TV and sleep. Weekends are spent packing my room, reading and church and the occasional shopping. It's just that when i do go out once in awhile, i cam whore and upload. Therefore you only get to see the happening stuff! You wouldn't want to read my mundane life and see me in pyjamas, will you? Besides, i don't want my blog to be really like a dairy. It's more like a log of events!

But i must admit, ever since i met my new group of friends, i am going out more, and i'm loving it! Because Singaporeans just work too much=boring.

Finally, i get to wear all my pretty dresses out.

Have a perspective New Year!
