supreme matron

not sure if this come as a shock to people but i really dig this show! well, not that im a fan of kym ng’s but overall i like the fact that the show features houses at its worst (then can win prize mah) and secretly, im just pleased that at least mine doesnt look like that. Kym Ng’s style of hosting and sense of humour helps as well and I cant believe she’s that down to earth, considering that she actually uses her bare hands (no gloves!) to pick up dirt, swipe dust and all. Wow, kudos to her man. I wil totally freak out if I have to do the same so…

Anyway, did anyone caught the show on wed? re 2 days ago? I did. And boy this time around, I am really affected by it, so much so that I had to write this. Its like the worst house I;ve personally seen and the worst on tv. Ok, the mess aside, but the dust, the amount of hair and debris, and between the cushions on the armchair…yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, piangz, horrors man! Not forgetting the huge mosquitoes “stuck” on to the dangling ornaments from the ceiling and the army of ants crawling around. Wahhh im absolutely breaking into goosepimples as I write this. Anyway, i think the bottom line is the family just doesnt care about the conditions they are living in and because they are so accustomed to the dust, insects etc etc already, they do not feel compelled to change. But i just cannot imagine how one can live in that state! I mean, if it was me, i will have eczema flare-ups and bitten by mosquitoes, till i bleed to death. On the flipside, i guess in a sick way, im also impressed that they are not affected by these elements and probably their skin has “”thickened/conditioned” to live like this, so basically, if they have to live in the slums/jungle or something, they can do so! Unlike me, who i think there;s no possibilities i can survive if you put me in a slum. I need my clean floors, clean toilets and no mosquitoes please. I freaking hate the mozzies.

office entertainment

-some of us were entertained by these tunes, check out the doo-dood doo female vocals and the look on george’s face man. Classic! hahahahahhahaha

and once we got started on soul/disco/funk, we cant stop, or rather i just cant resist the following:

but i do like these 2 songs ok! Earth Wind Fire: September and Diana Ross: Upside Down. I’ve always like the oldies, oldies goodies ok~~

 

Stepbrothers the movie

Caught this show last night. Its like 3 weeks since the last time i actually watched something. Quite a lot of weird and/or lousy show these days thats why. Anyway, with nothing much left to watch, so i had to content with Stepbrothers, but the movie reviews aint that bad (8 days and Straits Times, i usually rely on them and they are pretty accurate, I can even remember the names of the reviewers, Ong Sorn Fern, John Lui and also Whang Yee-Ling. 1st 2 from ST and the last one from 8 Days. shit man)

Anyway, for those who like stuff spastic, male humour (you know fart jokes, genital references, lots of swear words), i think you will enjoy this show. I enjoyed it, mostly due to their dialogue, one of which refers someone’s voice as a cross between fergie and jesus (God, sorry i know its blasphemous, but at that point it was funny) and the pow-wow sounds made by one of the stupid guys in the movie. hahahhaa. Till, the next show comes along, this should sit in well with most people, especially the guys (Mac will like it!)

I want to catch Eagle Eye next. Shia Le Beouf is in it….

good fun, good company, not-so-good tunes

i once wrote about how my essential clubbing experience should be like, good company, good drinks (alcohol to keep on flowing, preferably), and good music, in that order. It was fun as usual, starting off with the usual liquids though zouk’s concoction of vodka ribena is becoming weirder and weirder, but whiskey dry is a nice combination now, probably will stick to this for a while. Members area was also pretty chill, at least you get to sit and get to see what’s going on below (Dancefloor). There was a NUS bash or somesort which took place last night and the spillover of crowd went dancing at zouk main and went up to the podium as they are egged on by their fellow friends. Funny how all the bad dancers were on the podium and each time someone goes up, wild cheers erupted. It was almost like a circus act or something. So with loud cheering, the attention-seeking individuals went up to the podium to have their slice of action. The whole scene became rather painful and im glad it stopped after a while.

OK, the postives were, we met new friends who were also fun and the craziest things would be to drink chocolate martini – yucks. Its like Nutella turned bad (with a film of oil) and then mixed with spicey liquid. Pukes. And we took half-finished, left-over jugs of pink-coloured liquids, which belonged to the table next to us (looked like vodka ribena to me) and mixed with wine, just for the fun of it and we drank it all. That was hilarious man. We also ate gourmet hotdogs but it was all good fun and they taste pretty good too.

With stomachs filled now, we went to dance it off and returned to the zouk main and i personally was quite disappointed because DJ breakfast was spinning hard house. yucks. i absolutely hate it. oh well, nevertheless it was still a brillant night. Thanks guys! we will party again oct 3 (1st friday)?

me and my ultra messsy hair. yeew

 my eyes!

sausage delight! *_*

interesting how

a casual conversation between people can be broadcast to other individuals so quickly. trivia things like what you eat, what you are doing later, where you are going. its crazy and its evident how powerful the grapevine is and how scary it can get. thats why i never like to be part of any grapevine or engage in too much talk with people. the last thing i want is for people to know my daily activities, and for what? Duh. im utterly disgusted also for people to start asking, oh you are going xxx with xxx. erm ok, and so what? what’s your point in asking? don’t ask when you don’t intend to value-add in any way. period.

burning question. do you ever wonder how bus driver relieve himself, esp if they have an extremely long journey? I thought about it in the past, and never quite have an answer. I mean, yes, they can go before they drive, but then again, what if they didnt have the sensation beforehand? What if the lau sai feeling only comes in mid-way through the journey? Then what, endure, until they dock at the interchange 1 hour later? cannot be right, i mean, we are talking about lau sai here. Hmmmm ive never seen drivers who park their buses at the bustop and then hurriedly rush off to find a toilet. Or maybe they just happen to have higher levels of tolerance? ok this is just plan dumb, but i dunno, i dont have an answer. haha

urban myths

I’ve heard plenty over the years but have not personally verified this on my own or with anyone else. Wonder if any of this is true

- you will die if you drink coke after you eat durian

- you will die if you drink coke after you drink soya bean

- you need to cut your birthday cake right to the end of it or else your birthday wishes won’t come true

- you will go to hell! if you dont finish your food or rather you will continue to eat what you didnt finish in hell (this one is quite crazy, but its quite funny)

- you should not have your bed placed right in front of the mirror because if you wake up facing the mirror, you soul cannot connect (your sleepy self vs your sober self) and your soul disappears. I dont really believe this entirely, but i think its kinda spooky anyway, having to face a mirror the moment you wake up, i had this experience in Philippines, and i dont enjoy the feeling

MTV VMA 2008

The VMAs just ended and wow did Britney Spears sweep the awards or what? Best Pop video and best female or something, but really, i was very disturbed and rather distracted of her thank you speech. it went like this twice, öh wow, im in shock right now, i did not expect this”.sigh, pooor girl. i think she was made to say this, and she probably memorised these lines over and over, just in case she suffers from another public meltdown or something. Hah. She looks great really, in a sleek silver dress, much better before her head eas shaved.

Anyway, what;s with the Brit bloke? he was speaking super fast (but i do adore his accent) and he’s like all over the place? But the VMAs was really star-studded, what’s with Michael Phelps, Kore Bryant, Shia Le Beouf? Wow. But there was 1 rather weird one, hmm Tokio Hotel, nominated also in the category for Pop VIdeo, huh? Never heard of them le.

Anyway, i really dig the format of the VMAs this time, with a section sorta cordoned off, with another gig going on. It has this drummer and dj and there were lupe fiasco and LL Cool J peforming. Pretty Cool stuff. I enjoyed the collaborations and all but the worst gotta be Kid Rock, performing “Äll Summer Long” (which kinda stuck out like a sore thumb, amidst all other power-packed, explosive performances by Rihanna, Christina Aguilera etc.) At one point of the song,  some rapper dashed out and started rapping, i dunno who he is, but he kinda resembled this chap from Black Eye Peas. Anyway, it was plain weird, it wasn’t melodic and kinda out of sync.

Pussycat Dolls won the Best Dancing Video and i think they deserve it! I dont know about you, but í really enjoy looking them on stage, and each time they perform, its just so high-energy and sexually-fuelled, y know what i mean? I think they just look sexy dancing, too bad they didnt perform this time.

stark raving mad

I realised as I get older, the stuff that pops into my head can get really weird and sometimes i wonder if its just me who have such thoughts or do other people think the same way too?  Below are just some examples, and some are pretty disgusting, oh well nvm.

- i sometimes think if i become mental, will i start eating my own crap that i pooped?? Or maybe pick out just the food substances, like leafy vegetables off my poop and eat them? Its a disease i heard, something-philia, but i cant remember the term now. There are actual people who suffers from this, so…

- I wonder if i become so poor and im dying of thirst, will i drink sips of water from the drain even when the drain is filled with cigarette butts, spit, and whatever rubbish people throw?

- I wonder if i become cuckoo, will I challenge myself to taste the dust accumulated at 1 corner of a bathroom. and will i eat the cobwebs too?

- if i become so poor and hungry and i drop my food, eg, breadroll into the drain, will i pick up the wet, dirty bread and eat it

- i think i can see bacteria in the air

*Disclaimer: these are just random thoughts and I have NEVER, ever actually done any of them for your information, just as long as I remain sane.*

i think i better stop here, in case someone thinks im actually mad… Im not weird ok! I just happen to have an extremely active and vivid imagination. Speaking of which, i also dream alot and i hate it cos it ruins my peaceful sleep!

mooncake frenzy

Its that time of the year where we all feast on extremely sinful pastries such as these. Im not going to denythe fact that i also like mooncakes, BUT the only downside is the 1000 calories that comes with it and of course, since I dont exercise that much, i really must steer clear. BUT i so love the snowskin ones! especially the green, pandan, lotus seed paste (no yolk please, thank you very much) ones. They are sooo delectable, so fragrant, sooooo delish!! So i resorted to buying just buying a few single pieces just to satisfy my craving. Anyway, bengawan solo also sells them, theirs are good, and costs $2.50 each. But what i found out is that, those neighbourhood shops that sell such mooncakes, sells them at $1.10 (at rivervale plaza, swee heng confectionary) to be exact and they are equally good! Gosh! and after i polished off the mini ones,  i went and buy another 4 (mini) ones,

They taste so good, shucks! i love snowskin mooncakes~~~

someone said

My colleague said I look like an Indian actress about a month ago but she couldnt remember the name, so i was like, wow, really? I cant imagine resembling an Indian actress, plus im fair.. (and then i thought, hmm the north indian ones maybe?? haha, some quite pretty you know! haha) So i said, can you pls check who that person may be  so i know! But of course, she said she will check but she probably didnt so I also didnt follow up again,

Anyhow, i ran into her at the pantry yesterday and sort of just casually asked her again, hey did you manage to find out who i look like? And this time she started checking and apparently i look like the lady in the picture. Her name is Sadhana and she is born a Pakistani and she is now 67 and a retired actress. The picture shows her as 21. Hmm, i dont know about the resemblance and my colleagues are teasing me about this. Great, oh well!

birthday girl

Nope its not me. my birthday’s on 17 Dec by the way. *hint hint*. The birthday girl’s Hazel, one of Andrew’s school mates. The main reason why i posted this really is to emphasize that the lighting in this restaurant rocks! Its warm, soft tones, sorta conceal all flaws and you basically dont have to photoshop anything. Downside? The air conditioning is freaking cold! I dont know what’s it with the vivocity management, what’s with the air conditioning at full blast?! Oh and before i forgot the restaurant’s called Thai Accent. It serves reasonably nice food and the portion’s huge! Like a plate of phad thai costs around 12.90 but it can feed 2 people, no kidding. Sorri dont have the pics on the food, we were all too cold and hungry man.

Hazel, if you are reading this, Happy Birthday once again!

 

 my love pulling loose skin and enjoying his moment. grins!

longer lashes, longer lashes!

Lately, Ive had a fetish.. Its extended eyelashes, effect achieved with the stick on types which is basically sold in every other beauty shop i know. It can look lianish or drag queen-ish, but the effect  is oh so nice! especially on pictures! I think im inspired by xiaxue (another blogger) who seems to have falsies on in every single opportunity. But i love it! The effect is really good and it seriously open up the eyes. 

There are so many varieties too,and you can be completely spoilt for choice. Also, its becoming so cheap that you probably dont need to spend money going to professional beauty salons when you can extend your lashes (with different types, every day).

I especially like the blue ones with crystals, it looks fabulous man! And guess what its only $4.95 at dodo club, the korea shop in orchard cineleisure. Cant wait to get my hands on that one (but i will probably wear it at night, so dramatic!) 

Also, the more practice you get from sticking the lashes, the better you get, so it gets easier each time. The Inouvi ones are also pretty cheap and good and Sasa also has a good range starting from $5.90. The $5.90 ones comes with the bottle of blue glue which im practically using for all my other stick-ons.
