When Sis-Gis became a Tai-'Tai'

My beloved sis finally found happiness .. not only it's one of the happiest days for her, but also for me. I couldn't stop telling BigOne how happy and excited I am for her.

" We're here on this very special day, to celebrate the joyous union of Alex and Giselle, and I'm extremely thrilled to be here on one of the happiest and most memorable day for them.

Giselle and I go a long way back together. There will never be a day that we will ever get tired of talking about the good old, and very interesting days.

She has been an amazing friend, companion, and a sister. She stood by me at my lowest times, always supporting and believing in me. A carefree and happy-go-lucky girl, Giselle has been a true friend, and I truly appreciate our friendship.

Ever since she met Alex, there has been a major change in her, for the better of course. She has been more matured and sensible, and always glowing with love, smiles and laughter. You're good for her, Alex. She loves you with all her heart, and trust me, she has been going on and on about how fortunate and proud she is t have you.

Take good care of my beloved sis, and for the record, despite all the teasing, the truth is that you will never regret it.

A toast to neverending bliss and happiess, to happily ever after.

I love you sis. "

I've chopped off the "horse's tail" that I've been carrying with me for the longest time ever.
The load has been greatly lifted. Judging from the picture, the tail looks bigger than my arm.

I still have a tail ... only shorter. I've been living with it for over a decade.

When will I ever have the courage to chop it all off into some major cropped do like Rihanna or Victoria ?!

GG Addict

Am hooked on TV series. Because of these, I have been deprived of my sleep and building up excuses and false accusations on my quality at work, and inability to blog frequently. Yes, the blame on the home internet connection is TRUE. And one does not really have the luxury of ample time to sit down and key in one's thoughts at work.

My brain has been running on a marathon. Too much multitasking. FB is to blame. Blame again. ChuMing always said that RL is not a "job". I've been climbing levels rather well now, but yet to cross over to the next level. Newest addition is Roller Coaster Kingdom. It frustrates me that it lags so slow. Worse than Restaurant City. It's such time consuming and worthLESS of one's brain activity.

I'm actually blogging on FB games. I need a life.

Back to TV series. Latest addition to the loot. All WenDee's fault. Blame yet again. I just finished Gossip Girl and am sooooooooo looking forward to Season 3. I'm damn late laa .. I'm always bloody late. Late bloomer (really really late .. no joke), Late period cycles, Late for work, Late for appointments, Late for assignments, basically everything. I have a sickness.

When she passed me the stack of discs, she told me it's a no brainer set. Her exact words were (as accurately as possible) "You don't need a brain to watch this". But I love it. CK's gonna add on and call me a bimbo yet again - he really loves it - really loves getting on my nerves.

Was sad when I was watching the second last episode of season too. I actually rationed it for the next day instead of doing the usual daily marathon. I love Blair and Chuck more than the others. I even googled on the series and ridiculed over how Serena bagged so many awards, when Blair was the brains to everything. She's a perfect epitome of a strong woman. SMART in particularly, not usually possessed by many upper east siders (fictionally), beautiful, and classy. Nate is just a pretty boy .. nicknamed Bangs-Boy, and Chuck is awesome. Excellent business minded at 16 .. and because ... he's Chuck Bass. :D

Flipped the magazine today and realized where this ad got its inspiration from.


Meet Blair Waldorf, Serena Van Der Woodsen, Chuck Bass and Nathaniel Archibald.

The resemblance is just too fascinating !

Check out Chuck Jr .. he's soooo Chuck Jr !

Next marathon - The Entourage.
Just into 2 episodes - Guys are neither cute, nor interesting plot.
There's a reason for WenDee to buy all 5 seasons .. it has gotta be good .. one way or another.
We'll see.

Passion

My 3rd collabo with Passion Bridal studio some 2 months ago.
It just gets better each time.
Creating a different edge from the conventional bridal shots, and loving the contemporary style.

Some of my favourite shots.


I hope I'll be able to get the work I did at Inspiration tomorrow.
Another shoot with them and am looking forward to all their beautiful designer pieces.
David's styling and photography work is amazing and I love what he creates.

A preview of what he did the last time.


With the day starting real early tomorrow, I can't afford another day of Gossip Girl marathon. Another teen flick which creates bad influences on the average society with the fascination of all the glitz and glamour of being one of elite members of the society. As shallow as it may sounds, but this series is kinda interesting and I just got to know that some men are closet fans as well.
I am rather impressed and fascinated with the styles carried out by the casts. And who would have thought that preppy'ness can be so sexy.

I wanna have Blair's and Serena's wardrobe ... pleasseeeeeeeeeee ....

Can't wait for Season 3 !

slow mo

Somehow twittering seems to be a much more convenient option compared to blogging. Straight and direct from the convenience of your mobile phone. I feel that the old skool way has more substance than some random thoughts. BigOne still thinks it's ridiculous .. he still doesn't get the idea and purpose one has to publish their random thoughts and people commenting on it. Hell, he doesn't even do online networking.

Major hiatus from my blog. I'm sorry.

We celebrated our 2nd Anniversary.
Earlier this month. Since the appointed date clashes with Singapore's National Day, we couldn't head in for a nice meal coz so much time would be wasted traveling. But we had something much better. Sweet and simple. We both whipped up dinner - the crayfish pasta was awesome. I'd love to share pics but it's quite an unsightly couple photo with my oily face, bunned up hair and our major slack home wear.

Uncle brandy glass with his underaged lover.

Thanks darling .. for over 2 years of happiness. Can't help loving you more and more each day.

Schnappi turns 3 !
Time flies .. my boy is finally an adult (21 human years) but still such a baby to all of us. Back then he was so tiny when I first got him.

At 2 months .. all he did was sleep.

As he grew .. he became more obnoxious. I kinda regret not neutering him though it's such a sick thought of cutting off one's balls. I don't think he will ever mate coz he doens't like dogs at all. Sometimes I wonder if he knows that he is a dog at all. He was 'courted' several times before but scooted off within seconds. If he had a speech bubble it'll be "wtf are you doing .. get lost b***h!"

Now .. the obnoxious yet adorable brat of mine.

Jakarta
Recent Jakarta trip for BigOne's friend's wedding. It's always an important and glamourous affair for the Indonesians and every wedding is always very memorable. At least for us where weddings in our region isn't all glitz and glamour if we're not from the super elite or of royalty.

The ballroom was filled with flowers 'street lamps' litted isle, creating an indoor garden themed wedding.

The gigantic wedding cake that was cut with a sword. I wonder if it's real.

Even the reception area was properly decorated that sets a perfect backdrop for photo taking.

The lovely ladies .. looking forward to Meliz's (in red) big day come end of the year.

I have never really seen Jakarta despite coming here twice. Both times was for work, so I saw much more of the slump areas, which didn't leave a very good first impression, though hearing so much about how amazing this place is. The society diversion is so great that it's a whole different experience when you're in the city.

Good food . Great place to party . Gorgeous women .

Blowfish. Serves amazing fusion japanese. Just gotta love the wagyu and foie gras sushi.
connection club area at Blowfish. Another gorgeous place to club. Dragonfly.
Not your average Canto-pop over at St. James, but tasteful House.

Life's great when you have plenty to spare.

Gotta run now for fitting for this Thursday's shoot. I've gotten back the pics from the previous shoots and more to come. Will upload tomorrow if I have time.

Quote of the Day

Some time ago I did make an entry on how we all are whores in our own kind in this world.

Char-les has a more subtle description to it.

" I make only peanut so i work like a monkey, he make big peanut and quality peanut, so he works like a damn hardworking monkey. "

Charles on how much one is required to perform equals of money one make.

Agree?

What about those people who claims playing golf is part of their job description?

Concealed Filth

To all laptop/computer users:

When was the last time you actually cleaned your laptop/computer .. specifically the keyboard?

Remember you once got a forwarded mail in your inbox, informing that one of the dirtiest object that you come to contact with is actually your keyboard? That it's even dirtier than the toilet bowl?

Kinda hard to believe, isn't it? The one thing that almost everyone in this millennium age cannot abstain themselves from contact for more than 3 days.

On this fine Monday morning, I did the weekly cleaning ritual for my monitor. Normally I would just use a wet tissue to wipe off the dust that has statically stuck over the past week. Occasionally, I would also casually wipe the keyboard area, but never really gave it a good rub since the fibres from the wet tissue will get stuck beneath the buttons.

Today I got out the wet tissue .. the baby-wipes kind, and did the cleansing ritual.
Oh my dear Lord, the filth is unimaginable!

Over 3 years of dirt and grime + bacteria multiplication + food residue + misc.

May be you guys might wanna reconsider munching at the computer the next time.

It's amazing how time flies. Somehow am dreading it. At 5pm on a Sunday, the Monday blues have already kicked in. The weather, neither sunny nor cloudy, makes it even more lazy on an already lazy Sunday afternoon. I watched Twilight again for the N'th time and am still so blown away by Edward's character. He's fascinatingly beautiful. The printed Twilight saga has yet to be unfold, still sitting in the box set in my bedside drawer. Am halfway through of Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons. Still struggling to find ample time to balance out all the leisure entertainmnet I have got stacked in my room. Californiacation Season II has been added to the list.

I finally picked out a gown for next month's lavish wedding over in Jakarta. Since I've worked with the company for several times, they're more than happy to help me out. It's not the IT gown .. though I could do the diva gold number, but it's gonna be overwhelming. There were other choices, but I chose something that I could maneuver easily in it. The orange gown with lime green netting/lace was pretty .. but I felt clumsy in it. If only I was 2 inches taller, it would be perfect. I picked the fucshia and lime chiffon gown. The flow's pretty and I could jez glide though and waltz in it.

With Friday's bombings, our comfy stay over at the Ritz is dashed. I'm more worried for our safety since it's just a couple of weeks away. The world is so unpredictable these days.

Counting down to the mark of our 2nd year of happiness. My big project has yet to be finished and am already drained for ideas. 8 more to go. Plus miscellaneous. It's gonna be wonderful. I hope it lives up to its expectations. Every sweat and effort spent on it brings an extra smile to my face. Just thinking about how happy he will be makes the whole process very much self satisfying.

Bunch of movies to catch over the next couple of weeks. I hope Harry Potter is not maxed out like Transformers on a weekday. Somehow I always get really irritated with the people over at the cinemas. The movie goers, not the ticketing officers.

The ticketing process is simple. Before you even queue up, you already decide on the movie you wanna watch. Then get the tickets. The preference of seats is always the same for people. Some may be indifferent, which is better, or some would either want to be on the isle or the center. You pick whichever is available as shown on the screen .. colored and illustrated at the very basic for simple understanding. Or to make things easier, just reserve your tickets prior to the screening and just collect it.

Have you ever wondered why the queue for the tickets are always so effing long? People just hog on to the counter and taking their own sweet time to purchase their tickets. Some will even call their friends to discuss. Some will even ask the dumbest questions like "I really can't have this seat?" when the ticketing officer already told them the allotted colored seats are UNAVAILABLE. It gets even worse when a couple is hogging the counter. I seriously have no idea why ... coz this always ticks me off when I normally take no longer than 3 minutes till my ticket is purchased.

Because of all of that .. and more .. I have confined my cinema goers to weekdays.

With the benefits of cheaper tickets, I feel such a scrooge and am so unwilling to pay 11 bucks to watch a movie on the so-called peak days.

Rob Pattinson fever II .. indulging to his pretty face for the second time round.
