weird eyes

I have a case of fucked up eyes today, something wrong with my double eyelid or some kind. Sian! And my skin feels tight. Hope I feel better by tomorrow. Its TGIF once again. Phew. Finally got my first draft out for my tender. Good. Its progressing according to planned.

On a random note, I kinda like the serials running on ch 8 lately. The 7pm one and 9pm hahhaa. Quite auntie man, but somehwat grown to liked them. Chen hanwei is quite entertaining to watch. Lols. Can’t believe I just said that.

Speaking of chen hanwei, I made up a quiz some years back when I was bored to see how people will respond. Its my version of hipness-meter. It goes like this:

Do u want to be
A) han ren
B) han jian
C) qing han
D) luo han guo
E) chen han wei
F) liu han

Hahaha.

urrgh

Damn you headache! 2 panadols only provide temporary relief! Now its back! Can’t sleep on the transport home either. Super sian! Its thursday tomm though. Yay? Still haven’t prepared the draft for my tender! Have to leave it to tomm once again! So many interruptions!

I’m yawning every 15mins. Wtf!

Maybe I could use a stiff drink?

assam fishhead

Tried the food at sultan plaza near keypoint today. Simple dishes like minced pork (looks like the malay begadil- sorry don’t know hot to spell), stir fried beans and broccoli and the signature dish the curry/asam fish head. Overall not too bad and best of all, we achieved our objective of getting our contract extended so that’s a big bonus.

Had a weird dream last nite, my colleagues from work appeared and I was speaking to the human resource mgr of a certain hotel and my human resource mgr were also in the same dream. He was trying to cue my bf to turn up the music volume for a certain opening ceremony?! Gosh! Am I too stressed or what?! Haha got a few tenders and proposals to work on. Can’t wait for the end of november to be here so can relax a bit. And the trip to bkk in dec! So looking forward to getting a break!

this is it! not mj btw, sorry.

When is enough, enough? When is too much, too much? How do you know u have achieved the fine balance of doing things just enough to keep others happy? How do u know if others are happy? If they don’t express themselves, do u assume they are happy or do u ask them if they are? Do u wait to receive the compliment? Or u just keep doing stuff u think is right to garner praises?

If u love someone, u can’t overwhelm them too cos this stifles them or as what mariah carey might say u become obsessed. And when that happens its danger ground cos u have the tendency of losing that someone cos u r simply too much to handle.

But if u are just playing it safe, u know just being neutral mostly but with nice stuff once in a while, it comes across as being complacent?

I dunno. It gets to me sometimes cos on one hand it seems enough but sometimes it never will be.

Some form of basic appreciation will be nice I reckon. When something nice comes up. Like what I have from work. At least I know I’m doing some things right and ppl appreciate me for what I’ve done.
Thanks. :)

bruised n battered. not battered fish. i like fish in batter. fish n chips. is it the same batter?

I have bruises on both of knees cos of the constant accidental knocks I get when I get up the van every morning. The van is my way of getting to work as part of the company’s transportation. Its an art and a challenge to be able to get on the van on heels and when u r carrying your bags, umbrella or laptop, cos u need to ensure that u get on without exposing yourself (when u wear a skirt/dress) and u need to ensure u dun knock your head (the ceiling is low) and on top of that u need to be able to slide the door hard after u get on and its no easy feat considering u are half squatting the moment u get on, and u r on my heels with your hands full and yet u gotta free one hand to shut the door. Nuff said. And when u get to the seat (which by the way must be done quickly cos the van can’t wait at the bus lane so u gotta manoeuver quickly and sit down almost immediately), there is a seat belt fastener? On the side of the seat. I dunno wat u call that? Is that the correct term? The thing that the seat belt goes into? This bloddy thing always gets to me cos I always bang myself against it. And its hard. Greeat. Bruise.

And I got this on my wrist. Shit man.

I’m like all bruised and battered and apparently I don’t heal as fast as I like to. But I’m no wolverine! Sighs.

alcohol experiment

As I was saying I took on an experiment in recent months, just to prove a point. I had been pretty peeved with my flushed face after a nite out of drinks and while I had tons of fun downing stuff to get high , I suffered the next day having to wake up with a flushed face and the the redness didn’t go away as fast as I would like to. What was happening to me! Have my liver lost its function and I can’t break down the liquor as easily as I used to? Have I developed an allergic reaction to alcohol? Am I ever gonna be able to drink again! Gasp! Anyway I was quite paranoid and I hated my face getting red so I told myself to lay off the liquor even as I went clubbing. I tried that a couple of times and erm well it did work, which I was thankful for but wondered if I ever will enjoy as much if I dun drink when I club.

Anyway, and then I thought to myself if the combination of liquor made a difference, say I mixed different liquor or if I drink non-premium spirits. For some strange reason I tink it played a part. But most of all, I realised I have to drinks lots of water to flush out the alcohol in order not to have the aftermath. I’m glad to say on sat, I drank vodka ribena (absolut and not smirnoff, thank god) and champagne..and I was alright the next day. Phew!

taxis

Is it possible that you take the exact same route by cab but yet you end up paying a dollar and forty cents more? Is it a conspiracy theory by the cab drivers? Have/can the meters be rigged in some way??

the mojo’s back!

Hmm tink I’ll probably be blogging more. The interest’s kinda rekindled. Hee. And I guess overall I feel well in a more happy, settled place, spirtually and mentally. I realised when things are fucked up, u simply have no mood to blog. Well, u can also blog when life’s fucked but then again if you blog everyday and everyday’s entry Is a sob story then u probably feel worse at the end of it so then really there’s no pt. I don’t know, I just don’t want to come across as too much of a whiner if I’m complaining abt something everyday. That would be so typical of a singaporean eh? Always complaining this and that. I tink its impt to take stock of your life and look forward rather than backwards. I mean who likes living in the past when all u get is sadness and pain? I wouldn’t want that.

heart attack

The weekend, as usual is terribly short in my opinion but had a blast over a bbq hosted by my new set of colleagues. The house was great, albeit a rather ulu location re: nee soon camp. BUT the place was huge witha nice rooftop patio- fantastic for hosting dinner parties n chilling out with friends over drinks. Had plenty of laughs n booze, which erm can be great on normal circumstances, but I have been trying to cut down my alcohol intake as an experiment to see if my face will be flushed the next day if I don’t drink as much. Ok I would come back to the experiment later but to sum up the nite, it was fun cos we played several card games including heart attack! Haha the improvised version using poker cards. I like that game! And almost played uno therafter but decided not to be too enthu about it, cos well it can be quite lame to the others..
Anyway after a few rounds of heart attack, we had some champagne and then I reaslied there is a stinging sensation on my wrist. Then I realised I had a slit! Wtf! Somewhat deep and looked damn fugly. Shucks man! And the best part I dun even know I got scratched. Dammit!!!

howdy ho

its been a long while since ive blogged, its close to 3 months now? ha. well a couple of things have happened, i left my old job, got another one, went to batam and hongkong. and lately work has been interesting. its only the 2nd month into my job but already im busy like hell. the first day already jumped into attending meetings, and the rest of the activities include following colleagues around for customer visits, attending some MOU ceremony, clients’ DnD, company’s 7th month dinner,  press conference etc etc. the good thing is  my colleagues are actually quite a fun bunch! went clubbing with them recently and they are quite cool, even though they are all married. but the  venue was a bit of an unfortunate mistake, due to the F1 closures and shit, we had to go st james. but thank god for the music, courtesy of the event that nite. so thats ok. incidentally, my fav rnb song for the moment is  hotel room service. haha. 2, and 2, i undress you, and 3, and, you undress me. hahahhahah, Hotel Motel, Holiday Inn! hahahhaah

anyway, its a lazy sunday and honestly it being the eve of PH (yes monday;s an off day for me!) im getting quite bored. two fast too furious is showing on tv and we have the stupid dreary show called ai on ch 8. sob sob weep weep, im amazed that there is a loyal following for a show like this; more amazed that the scriptwriters can drag the show to like 1000 episodes. kudos to them man. i mean thats no easy feat. i caught a acouple of scenes below and i think the trick is to say something in like 10 different ways so its prolong the dialogue…. ….. im trying to think of some examples but, erm brain dead now. when i remember i’ll blog again.

till then.

perennial pessimist, or not.

im generally not an optimistic person or maybe i like to approach things with cautious optimism. but there has been some recent events which im quite happy about and i guess i can count my blessings. and honestly, i have god to thank for everything. its one thing about trying, but so long as i leave it in the hands of  god, i know he has a plan for me. and i should continue to hold that belief.

old friends

talk about getting old. ive been sleeping really early evry night bcos of the revised working hours at the office.  and the best part is i naturally get sleepy when 1030 pm comes, no more having to sedate myself with reading or drowsy meds.

i miss my love. hes away for 1 month, and this is probably the longest weve been ever apart. but come to think of it. its probablyk getting easierto manage by the day, throwing myself with ahem work and indulging in television, such as revisiting  gossip girl for eh. and finding new friends on facebook. oh wait a minute, its old friends and once you found 1 link, the others would be on board. one thing i realise though is quite a number of my friends are married, male, female. gosh. wow. thats really nice but wow. i mean. wow. haha.

im quite happy to be connected now, especially with my secondary school friends. some of them are high-fliers in their own fields witih some very useful contacts for me i must say. and new clubbing partners.  oh and i also found new friends through this link. so…good lah!

bored!

 

bored man. jeez. i wana watch i love you,man.

july is coming and that aint good. :(

he likes big butts and he cannot lie

Adam Lambert Finally Confirms: “I’m Gay”

Us Magazine – June 9, 2009 5:37 AM PDT

  • Story photo: Adam Lambert Finally Confirms: Matthew Rolston for Rolling StoneUs Magazine

    Adam Lambert finally confirms his sexuality in the new issue of Rolling Stone (on stands tomorrow).

    “I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay,” the American Idol runner-up says.

    Look back at the Season 8 Idol’s finale most unforgettable moments.

    “I’m proud of my sexuality,” continues the rocker, who was photographed holding hands with interior designer Drake LaBry earlier this month. “I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.”

    Check out photos of star couples who can’t get enough of each other.

    But Lambert, 27, from San Diego — who performed Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” on the Idol finale — says he’s not the poster boy for gay rights.

    “I’m trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader,” he tells RS contributor Vanessa Grigoriadis.

    VIDEO: Adam Lambert talking to Rolling Stone about his cover shoot.

    Lambert admits that he was nervous about coming out while Idol was still on the air because contestants are under a media embargo, and he wanted to do it on his “own terms.” (He also says producers were open to him handling it however he wanted to.)

    “I was worried that [coming out] would be so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing,” Lambert tells the mag. “I’m an entertainer, and who I am and what I do in my personal life is a separate thing. It shouldn’t matter. Except it does. It’s really confusing.”

    Find out what an Idol stylist has to say about Lambert’s look.

    Lambert credits the FOX reality show with helping him gain self confidence.

    “I finally checked into my self-worth for the first time in my life, and the fact that it coincided with Idol is so sweet,” he says. “I mean, I still have moments where I think, ‘Oh, my skin is terrible, and I’m a little fat — I should really go to the gym more.’ But for the most part, when I look in the mirror now, I finally see somebody who can do something cool.”

    lately

    life has been mundane with not much to look forward to. ive been splurging mostly on toiletries, face masks and what not and been going butter quite a fair bit lately. im really into fash bar these days cos the tunes are super rockin’! and so im glad i finally got my hands again on the daft punk tunes. electro! hoorway.

    im just incredibly bored and wishes something good comes along. im gonna watch taking of pelham 123 later; it should  be quite nice i reckon. and i wana catch the trashy raimi horror flick, drag me to hell! hhaha

    the weather is such a killer. ive got my rashes back again, thanks to the heat. cannot stand it. at least there is some rain now, so some welcome relief there, aha!

    im tempted to go butter again! but shit man, always spend quite a fair bit there. And  its high time to swipe the card at zouk before the membership gets stripped!!!

    too tired

    im too tired to do anything these days, including blogging. nothing exciting happening too, but im quite happy about my recent shopping purchases fro  topshop, forever 21 etc, and my 4 inch heels. ahaha worn only once to work on a trial basis to see if i wld stumble over them.BUT glad to know i didnt haha.

    i like fash bar at  butter, but i dun really like lemon drops. hahah

    can you spot mini-mee….

    Adam Lambert — The New King of Queen?

    We already know Adam Lambert can rock eyeliner like the late Freddie Mercury, but can he front Freddie’s band? The guys from Queen aren’t ruling it out after their performance on the “American Idol” finale.

    In a Rolling Stone interview, Queen’s lead guitaristBrian May said, “It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.”

    He’s talking about Adam’s voice.

    excitement and then disappointment

    i was in manila a couple of days back and i was rather concerned that i would miss the muchly anticipated americian idol finale. i recalled that the hotel we last stayed in had starworld as well, so with a bit of luck, i could tune in the repeat telecast when i was there. and so with little expectations, i stayed up to see if the show was on. i did my background checks and if it were to be showing then it should come on around 0030, quite late and i was concerned too cos the next day ive gotta wake up pretty early blah blah. anyway, i was just checking my mails and then suddenly the trailer came on, american idol up next. and it was 2250. hooray! so i can get to watch american idol at an earlier timeslot and not having to sacrifice too much of my sleep. i was rooting for adam lambert as most people had already known. i have nothing against kris allen per se (still prefer him over danny gokey) but i seriously think he lacks the star appeal so to me, crowning adam would have the natural choice. watched him perform over the finale and well based on simon cowell’s commentary (i couldnt agree more), it was a sure win. and so i went to bed feeling satisfied with the performance and eagerly anticipated the next day results. could it be showing at 8am, i wonder? anyway, there’s the repeat telecast again at night, sooo no problembo.

    i woke up at 8am anyway, as my alarm went off and i switched on the television. lo and behold! american idol was showing and amidst taking a shower, getting dressed etc. i caught snippets of it. i didnt enjoy lil rooudnt (nvm lets just call her Lil R) performance but i was quite excited about black eye peas performing and then at the stroke of 9 i had to go i didnt stay til the results so we had to head off for a meeting.

    at 11am or so, i searched for the american idol results. and the first search result came on. Kris Allen wins American Idol! somehow i got this weird naggy feeling that this would happen. and this always happens when i actually follow the show and root for the other person. urrrgghh.. it happened i think to singapore idol when it was the showdown between jonathan and hardy. and then hardy won. sighs. anyway, in adam lambert’s case im pretty sure he is gonna cut an album regardless. so well, i guess all is not lost. anyway, did you see simon cowell’s face when the results was announced? i thought he was shocked, dumbfounded, pretty disappointed i must say. the same look i had when i knew kris won. sighs.

    newsflash

    zouk’s long island tea has gone up, it is $70 bucks per jug now. Gone were the days where it was 62, then 64 then 68 I think.

    But the apricot brandy + 7up is really nice and easy to drink. Some may think it taste like the pink cough mixture, but too me, its just like sipping a soft drink. Dangerous! And the best part is, its great for the recession! 44 bucks per jug.

    Also, another recession-proof product and I personally like this if you want to buy cheap and get high quick (apart from LIT), then its the always reliable – tequila shots! hee $10.50 per shot and if its one-for -one, best! you get 2 for the price of 1. I think places like butter sell 1 pair at 14 or something. expensive! And the tequila along with most of their alcohol i.e those you drink with mixers seem to taste kinda weird. like zouk uses Absolut for its vodka (thats premium), i think places like attica and butter use smirnoff and smirnoff doesnt taste good with certain mixers, like ribena and something else (redbull? cant recall)

    anyway, i think a lot has changed in terms of zouk crowd, gone were the fashionable, trendy, media types. i believe there are pockets of them but i dont seem to see that much now. Have they all given up clubbing, got  older, wiser, married, settled down? i dont know, but i think im probably gonna be one of them soon, lols. Anyway, or have they all moved off to butter? for the all-new  clubbing experience with paintings from reowned artistes? was straits times right? zouk’s out and butter’s in? im  not quite sure but based on my night out yesterday at zouk, particularly phuture, im beginning to think so. Phuture’s was waay too crowded with too many people moving around and has no concept of personal space. i even had to ask this guy to get lost, please twice and he doesnt get it. he was trying to i dunno, dance, grind with me and my cousin, but please. i already said, get lost, do you not understand simple english and pls have some self-respect too.

    phuture’s music was,,,well okay only, and butter is probably much better in that aspect. the space allocation per person is much better in butter too and worse case you can always skip to fash bar for a quick chill off – plus the music aint that bad. Heard the killers played the last time so all’s good.

    anyway,  i think the next time round for zouk is probably for chill-out only, and probably a session of mambo in june, haha. Shall be heading to buutter in due time – UOB card-holders can get free entry by 11pm (till 31 May)?? ive been reading that but have never personally verified it. time to do so i guess.

    american idol final 3

    talk about being excited. this week gottta be the most exciting week. i dont know the format, but im sure one person is going home and it better, jolly, not be adam lambert. i dont want to jinx it and these things, y0u never know, cos i was hoping for kris to leave last week, but it turned out to be allison. the most nerdish thing also happened to me cos i actually teared when allison’s name was announced and her “going home, home sweet home” montage came up. who sang that song anyway? its kinda nice…

    ooh wiiii

    my love has been contemplating to buy wii for the longest time, since last year and since the last IT fair at suntec. he was tossing between buying an Iphone and Wii and i thought he has an existing phone which is working fine, so maybe wii probably would be better?

    anyway, that was an excellent decision, because we were ended up playing quite a bit and it was fun too. The Raving Rabbits were cute, whats with synchronizing hand movements with the sounds/beats of songs, such as Toxi by Britney Spears and grooving to tracks – literally cos we were supposed to move the controls to the dance beats. hahaha. Next up, Guitar Hero and American Idol.

    i cant believe my arm is aching from all playing these games! lols. turns out to be a good workout. especially the boxing wii sports one.

    bffs! is Mrs O trying to pull a Rihanna??

    what to do when you are upset

    what happens when you are upset about something, and yet you know there is no way you can change things. and because you cant change things, you are still upset and there is nothing you can do.

    seeking for solutions may sound like the only logical thing to do but its easier said than done. thats how the phrase came out aint it?

    i hate to be frustrated. it creates wrinkles, it gives me a headache.

    shit. i want to do something that i can vent my anger with. maybe i should go butter and pour drinks on people; that could be a laugh. lols.

    i need to beat someone up, i need to stab someone. or maybe i should just go shopping. but whats the point. i need a drink. a stiff drink. who knows whats gonna happen for my stomach scan tomorrow. wish me luck, so i can drink to my heart’s content.

    fucking piece of shit.

    i need to stay calm. need to find inner peace. thats how my tattoo came about. i want to get another.

    i need to start praying. fast. this is getting worrying. sigh.

    i love american idol.

    star awards

    as cheena as this programme is, i do have a secret weakness for it. i like to see what our local stars wear, any faux pas and what-have-yous. did anyone see the lady oba-san who stars in the taiwanese serial – Love (Ai)? omg! what a generous helping of cleavage! and the boobs appear hard. hmm, i dont know, but she does look pretty fab and she must be like in her fifties or something?? woah! i was also distracted by quan yifeng’s first tube dress, it was like hanging off her chest and it seems like its gonna fall off her anytime. my love and I were just talking about it and we are both thinking how tempting for us to help pull up her dress (if we can ever do that) before a janet-jackson ala nip slip happens.

    rui en was unfortunately absent  - i like to see her on the show, she is so different, the stuff she wears, she styles herself (kudos to that) and i think she shopped online for one of the jackets she wore at one point.

    erm jeanette aw didnt win best actress and joanne peh won. interesting. i was secretly hoping chen liping might win it. dammit!

    oooh and fiona xie looked pretty good on the show and i caught a glimpse of her at butter on friday, walking out of fash bar, looking absolutely petrified. i think she was led out by her agent/manager or something, and there was this guy who went, ehh fiona xie, fiona xie! ok ok, starry-eyed and all. she already looked damn scared, still want to shout and all? anyway, speaking of butter, for some strange reason, i always get drinks spilled on me, either someone walks through the crowd with a drink in his/her friend and it spills onto my feet/legs, or some friend who be serving me drinks, and someone else’s or my arm would knock onto the cup and again, spillage. Or i would be holding on to a half-finished jug of whatever and making my way through the crowd and some stupid person who either is drunk, or who just loooves to wave their arms in the air would knock me and then again, spillage. its like the third time in the row. wth.

    fact or fiction

    pimple-extraction machines: does these stuff really work? can they really help to keep pimples at bay, reduce scars, eliminate blemishes?

    i dont know but it does all sound really good and im getting tempted myself!

    Chanel Classic Flap Bag vs. Reissue 2.55

    November 30th, 2007 / Posted in Chanel Handbags by Vlad Dusil.

    chanel classic flap bag

    One very commonly asked question on our Chanel Forum is on the difference between the Chanel Classic Flap and the Chanel Reissue 2.55 bags. I’ve scoured the forums this morning to educate myself, and our readers about the differences between the two. Let me start with a few historical facts on the Reissue.

    HISTORY:

    The lock on the Reissue is the original lock, it is called the Mademoiselle Lock as Ms Coco Chanel never married, the ‘CC’ lock was introduced to the Classic Flap Bags only in the 1980s by designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 2.55 in its name refers to the first release of the 2.55 bag in February of 1955. Coco Chanel grew up in an orphanage/convent, therefore, the double chain shoulder strap comes from when the children’s’ caretakers in the orphanage would dangle keys from their waists with the same type of chains as on the Reissue. Also, the zippered compartment on the inside of the front flap of the Reissue is where Coco sequestered her love letters, as she was having an affair at that time. The brownish red color of the inside represents the color of Coco and the rest of the children’s uniforms (the nuns’ were black with white trim: thus, the packaging on Chanel Parfum/Eau de Parfum/Eau de Toilette). The back outside flap of the Reissue actually marks where Coco would stash extra money!

     

    Over the years there have been many variations to the original design of the 2.55, including the leather/fabric, the chain – metal vs. interwoven leather, single flap vs. double flap, and the closure – mademoiselle vs. interlocking CC. The 2.55 refers to all flap-style bags, including variations of the original! The term classic flap commonly refers to the flap with the interlocking CC closure and the leather interwoven chain.

    In February 2005, Karl Lagerfeld re-made the 2.55 – exactly as Coco Chanel had made in 1955, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 2.55. It came to be known as the Reissue. Technically the term Reissue should only be used for the bags that were made to commemorate the original – so only those in 2005. However, it has become convenient to call all 2.55s that resemble the original 2.55 Reissues and all 2.55s that have the interlocking CCs Classic Flaps.

    More on the fascinating history of the Reissue 2.55.

    THE DIFFERENCES:

    This thread, particularly post #57, gives a great amount of information on the differences between the two styles. If I may briefly summarize:

    1. Closure/Locks: Classic has the double CC turn-style lock, the Reissue has the Mademoiselle lock (rectangular shape).
    2. The handle: The reissue has an all chain handle, while the classic has leather interwoven between the chain links.
    3. Reissue has a different type of leather, that is made to seem more worn than the caviar leather on the classics.
    4. All the reissues have a double flap inside, whereas the Jumbo Classic does not.
    5. The sizes on the Reissue are different than the sizes on the Classic Flap

    3. fendi peekaboo (ala doctor bag)
