Burnt

Temperature is rising. It's effing blazing hot outside that I'll just starve for lunch. But impossible for such a glutton like moi. I'm down south and I'm complaining. I can't imagine being up north. I literally died the last time when I was back in the northern island last year. *shrugs*

Almighty one .. we could make do with some rain now. Let it fall at 5.30pm Malaysian Time. Just in time for me to get off work and not stuck in the jam .. and cool enough before I faint of major heat wave during yoga.

Time check. 5.19pm. No signs of any dark clouds and the sunning is shining at it's mightiest glory.

Balik laa ..... the solar system also have official working hours. Wonder why the sun is punching in extra hours lately. Mid-year assessment perhaps?

Sigh .. it's gonna be a torturing session .. when it was supposed to be a calming workout session. Guess I'm yet to connect with my inner-self and constantly focus on the external environment instead. Natural born Kay-poh sia!

Mixed Feelings

It's never easy being a woman .. especially when you have to deal with emotional roller coasters every month for a couple of days. One minute you're happy one minute you're sad one minute frustrated one minute angry, and the whole list from the emotional encyclopedia.

My emotional journal entry as of today ..

8.00 am - Pouty ... don't feel loved enough by BigOne
8.15 am - Feel loved after some pampering ..

9.30 am - Moody .. monday blues kicking in coupled with post-weekend rendezvous

11.00 am - Frustrated .. exchanging complains and whines with Joanne on how sucky life is and demanding additional 300% attention from BigOne

1.30 pm - Pissed coz he hasn't called although he promised to in the morning. Even pissier mood coz am so effing hunrgy.

2.30 pm - Feeling happier and cheery after some carbs intake over lunch.

2.45 pm - Sad .. feeling very neglected and unwanted and demands some loving attention from BigOne

3.00 pm - Smiley (is that even an emotion?) .. Feeling loved after getting attention-therapy

3.20 pm - Feeling even more perkier after receiving my 625 rebate. Already annoying DaddyDearest on how to celebrate my Xiao-Tu's 4-year birthday, setting Schnappi's official birthday, etc.

3.30 pm - Excited .. while I am so engrossed with the latest gossips over MSN.

4.30 pm - Sleepy .. moody .. bitching on how I hate to work and if possible not work anymore.

5.30 pm - Perky .. caffein kicked in and ready to do some work. Ironically, officially working hours is now over.

6.00 pm - Comical .. laughing at myself on how embarrassing and silly that my armpit have been itching for the longest time ever. Am so lonely here I can't annoy anyone with my nonsense.

6.20 pm - Feeling crappy .. staring at the vanity mirror and sighs at how terrible my complexion is. I yearn for beautiful complexion of the Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese. Ghostly pale it might be, but I don't have to deal with the bumps.

That's it as of for now. I still think it's so funny and embarrassing how one has an armpit itch. I can selumber scratch it here coz my privacy level is atmospheric high when the boss steps out. What if those who are surrounded by cubicles and people everywhere? We women have our embarrassing moments .. nipple itch, crotch itch (do we even call our fellow feline that?) How do we discreetly deal with it is damn funny. :D

Pics will be updated next week.

Do visit their website for more information at
http://www.mybagspa.com

They offer loads of information on choosing the right bag for yourself, information on bag materials, bag symptoms (sickness or disease as I would call it) , preventive measures, and also methods used to restore the condition of the bags.

Mind you, you didn't pay all that money for that Chanel to have some guy rubbing thinner and shoe dye on it for 5 bucks!

And finally ... the one this that you're hesitating on ...

How reliable are they?

Let's just say that Coach did refer them to a top celebrity who recently just got her bags serviced.

More pics to be updated when I get back from their opening this weekend.

Batik & Songket Galore

The mag is out much earlier than expected.
Newtide Mag - August 2008 issue.

Honestly we all weren't that satisfied with the pics .. coz we weren't heavily photoshoped.
Oh come on, eveyone's heavyly photoshoped in magazines. That's why I always say, pictures are deceiving. Major deceiving. I've got people telling me how gorgeous I am when they see my pics, until they say the real person, then they'll say something like "You look better in person". Yea rite .. who we kidding.

Sorry Byno .. I know you badly you wanna give me tight slap to wake me up from all the negativities. *wink*

Ok laaaa ... it's not as bad as it is. I was just expecting sooooo much more from it. The angmoh from the spread before and after our section was flawless .. can tell the major difference lor. I bet she's as unperfect as all of us also .. (making myself feel better). The pics obviously didn't do any justice to Jasmine's super slim body .. who in the pics have pot bellies, and ugly crotch lines from the tights (big no no man!) that her friends asked her to go on a diet. Any thinner and her existance will suddenly vanish. Ya laa .. my pot belly got no excuses laa .. happy!

But this pics rocks ... Love the poise, the pose, the elegance ..
they call it the "Miss" photoshoot. Miss Chinese International?? *teehee*

And the groupie pics ..
but basket ... these people dunno how to croup pics properly ...
This pic rocked too .. but I kena cropped too much =.=!

And the multicolor songket collection from Bill Keith.
Can't wait to see the Loreal one!

Patience my dearss ... *wink*

Rebellion .. Making You Look Sexier

Advertorial

A woman can never have enough of everything .. bags, clothes, love, attention .. SHOES! Yea .. especially shoes. Coz we can get shoes for so much cheaper than bags, it can be, but I have yet to reach the state where I strot around the streets in babies that costs several hundreds. Whoaa .. heart pain! I was THIS close to getting the babies over at capital F but there wasn't any place to justify my purchase to proudly show them off.

However ... for all you shoe fettish people out there who are so sick of generic shoe designs that everyone has .. there's a cure! Especially when you're living in a kampung like where I am, everyone would have the same thing if it was pretty.

Not to worry, Rebellion is the answer to all your prayers. All their shoes are imported from USA, Japan, Europe, UAE, and basically almost anywhere, with limited stocks and sizes. So, you might be the only one having them.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get your hands on some designer babies .. Ted Baker, Replay, Top Shop, Marc by Marc Jacobs, ASOS, etc.

Fab chunks from ASOS - in patent black and satin baby pink.
Tartan pumps from Replay.

Don't worry, these shoes are not fake or replicas. These are additonal stocks direct from the manufacturing factory, and please be ensured that they are not rejected items. These are "BRAND NEW" and additonal stock which the factory manufactured.

Looking for heels that are super high but super COMFY is tough. I have tried looking for heels that are 4-inches high for my parading job but it's so hard to find a fabulous-SATC-like one. Either that or I've been looking at all the wrong places. =.=! Anne, the professional 'stilt-walker' actually 'stilt-walked' most of Singapore and didn't even get a blister.

Sky-high heels from ASOS.

Miqieranni's
Glamourous heels for all kinds of functions. Gives the final touch or extra pinch of glam to any plain dress.

I call this the Paris Hilton stillettos.
But it didn't come in my size :(

Delicious rose heels - in Black, Red, Brown and Cream.
They're so lovely you gonna have a hard time choosing which color.

Breckelles purple satin peep toe. It's so SexAndTheCity! Only that they're a fraction of what Carrie's Manolo's cost!

Oh .. and if you're one of those people with "Caucasian-Size" feet, and have trouble looking shoes that actually fit, and have to go broke buying international designer shoes coz they only stock such sizes .. Rebellion do stock shoes up to size 9-10. I know what it's like after going shopping with Tasha, that even capital F have limited shoes in 9.5.

Notice the missing toes in the purple heels, yea, they come only in size 9 .. so boo-hoo to me!

Unique one of the kind shoes ..

These boots are made for walking ...
I was cursing so much that I live in a one-season country and can't enjoy wearing "leg covers"! And I can't do it without having people staring at me with the most ridiculous expression.

Leather slick-wedged boots .. super chio!

Japanese brand Shining ribbon-back with gold heels.
Available in black and grey.
Bling shoes .... that even comes in flats!

Plus so much more!!Choices that will make you go wild ..
I know what everyone has been wondering somewhere in the middle of this entry .. waiting for this sentence to pop up somewhere ...

They are very affordable !

Go check out Rebellion now at

The Zon Shopping Centre, Ground Floor, in front of Watsons.

And if you're bloody lazy or an avid online-shopper, do check out their website Rebellion .. Making You Look Sexier to order online and have them shipped directly to your footsteps. However, please do not be disappointed with the choices coz it's yet to be fully updated.

But I do highly recommend that you visit their store coz you'll be able to find loads of other hidden treasures i.e. tattoo'ed Ed Hardy jackets, Harley Davidson shirts, designer bling/zh'ng vanity mirrors, etc etc.

Start stocking up now on shoes that won't make you broke! *teehee*

Me Mates

Sorry for not posting pics sooner. Work's finally picking up in the office and am enjoying it. People jez don't get me .. Freaking busy, I complain. Too free, I also complain. I prefer being busy .. I really feel very insecure when I am "useless" and wasting company's funds.
(if BigOne's reading this, he'll do his signature "W" whatever sign).

Here you go .. all the pics that I've promised.

The Gorgeous Haflin's visit to Singapore.

She was here last weekend, so am waiting for her to post pics up in facebook so I can go grab 'em.

BigOne refuses to agree with me that we somehow look alike .. at least a wee bit.
I simply adore her .. and men jez hold their breaths when she walk past.

For those who don't get it .. no, she's not smelly ! Duhh !

Taking pictures everywhere on Orchard.
No offence peeps .. but I felt like we're foreign workers hanging out on Orchard on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Come on, locals don't do that. And yea, people from JB are considered local.

Shoe shopping frenzy.
My beloved from the capital F. And they all came in my size.
Move along before I whine further.

Irristable heels at Aldo at irrisistable discounts.
So yummy you can jez chew all of em.
* * *

Nic finally came down to JB too. He's so terrified about the safety here after being incredibly brainwashed by his colleagues. It's being overrated. I survived here for more than a decade .. can't be that bad rite. *consoling myself*

As wretched as this city might be, I was able to bring him to a decent restaurant that served decent food. Gianni's at Jalan Serampang. My weekend restaurant with BigOne. We're not very creative in ordering and we're also very "faithful" to our food, hence the usuals. Save the headache.

Al tonno salad, Quarttro formaggio pizza with turkey ham, and Carbonara.

We're so stuffed to even have room for tiramisu. Next weekend maybe (which so happens to be today!)

Kinda sad that I have to cancel my trip up with SookWei next weekend due to the wedding expo at Persada. Was looking forward to some major fun with Nic. Rekindling of childhood. Very hesitant about it .. but Nic insisted that we'll do it next time ... he kept reminding me "Earning money is more important!"

* * *

Cameron's finally back to JB.

After 2 months the pics are finally posted up on facebook. Abit too late rite!

I know it'll be ages before you actually make your way back here again. And it'll be long before I actually quit my job and fly over for a 3 month parasiting holiday over at your continent.

I still have a picture of all of us taken at your farewell party before you left us for 11 years before your comeback. Look at how much we have grown.

Taken in 1997. The SKST gang.
(L-R at the back): Xavier, Joel, Andrea
(L-R in the front): Akhbar, Cam, Moi, I-LingSome 11 years after ...(L-R): Jansen (who's also from the same batch), Andrea, Cam, Xavier, Moi .. and Joel in the front.

Jansen and Andrea have been dating for years. Sweet isn't it. People who actually date their childhood sweethearts don't exist anymore. Childhood i.e. dated back to primary school. Now beat that !

* * *

Babe-Jasmine turns 26.

Sorry for the belated wishes ...
Happy Belated Birthday Babe!

My mom was asking why don't I ever throw a party anymore for my birthdays. I prolly might just next year ... but thinking the hassle of it jez puts me off on the idea.

Taken last year ...Reenactment in 2008.There's some very obvious aging going on. Scared !

Sorry for the picture entry that seems so pointless. Everything is so outdated that needs to all go out or never.

THE Dress

Everybody's getting married ...

so am i ........

NOT yet. =.= !

Have been googling around for the perfect dress IF my big day was around the corner. The only ones that captured my interests were the designer pieces that oozes sheer simplicity and elegance and luxe. I've been "married" a billion times and have yet to "meet" the perfect gown that I fell in love. Bridal shops usually will display their top pieces for their exhibitions and shows, they're beautiful, but somehow something was missing somewhere.

A few pieces that caught my attention ...

I love this piece so much from VeraWang.

Also from Vera ..

From CarolinaHerrera ..I think it's pretty .. but Eds thinks it looks like a cupcake.

And alot more from Carolina Herrera which I got so confused which to post here.

Perhaps my preference will change in the future. *wink* Loads of "marriage" jobs this month .. who knows I might stumble across one. Hope I have enough time to camwhore backstage .. have been missing doing that in a while now.

There's a couple of good designers featured in the SATC movie. But why the hell did Carrie pick the VivienneWestwood one?? No offence but I think it looks hideous.

(1) The cup area so totally don't compliment any body size or shape.
(2) It's not elegant or pretty or whatever description a bridal gown should be. Looks like some project made from recycled brown bags.
(3) Turquoise bird head piece? Langgar.

(4) Everybody will hate me for hating everything about this gown.

Don't misunderstand me. I LOVE Carrie ... but I love Samantha more *hehe* .. and I LOVE Sex And The City. This picture really caught me off guard and I think she's damn muscular lor!

Brides-to-be out there .. don't overdo the work-out .. you'll accidentally end up looking like that ! So not flattering.

Ipoh Mali

With a blink of an eye .. I've been with this company for almost 4 years. And it's my first job. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever need to update my resume, obviously it won't be an attractive one having only one job experience. I have grown to love the people here just like a family.

4th Annual Conference destination ... Ipoh.

It was originally much more exciting with plans to Taman Negara, but due to whatever financial reasons or "whatever" reasons, we just have to make do with Ipoh. Abit anti-climaxing laa when the plans were changed, but it turned out to be not as bad as it seems. Great job by the committee. Heng no need to do all those tedious job this year .. kekeke! At least the new batch of people prooved themselves worthy to be one of the "fei-ka" gang whose members have previously left us.

For a change of environment for the conference, we went au-natural.
Too natural ! In a cave ... FYI, it's real.

Some "leisure activity" during our tea-break.
Tiger feeding session. I salute the "feeder" or emcee for being able to repeat his script word-by-word in every feeding session.

Our fellow lengzhai's and lenglui's from KL ..

My family in JB. Exceptional for the guy in red at the far right. He's from KL .. but insisted to be in this JB Group picture coz his hometown is in Muar. I should be in theirs and Penang's as well since I have an identity crisis of where my origins are.

I had no idea how "ulu" Ipoh is. Come on, it's like one of the major cities in Malaysia, so I expected it to be better than JB .. but ...... *no comments* Sorry if I offended anyone from Ipoh, but I guess you guys left the city to better off elsewhere. Oh come on, just admit it. Everybody left Ipoh so there isn't much need to develop it into this canggih city. Save the money. No wonder people there are rich !

Like it or not, you can't leave Ipoh without having the infamous ..

Nga-choi (beansprout a.k.a. tauge) ... and ...

Pak-Zham-Kai (white/hainanese chicken)

Another offending statement: What so special about it ??? Am just really really curious! We have better chicken in JB.

Whoaaa .. suddenly promote JB lebih lebih, padahal I condemn this place in almost every single blog entry ... hahahha ... must buy 4-D!

Some interesting finds in this biscuit shop with a 1.5 foot wide isle.

You cannot find any other visiting gift more "ideal" than this ..Beloved / Kekasih Biscuits ...I recommend that my sales staff buy these .. to "cool" off in the incredible heat when they're out in the field. Old-skool sia ! Can imagine how sua-ku I am .. I've been living in the city for far too long! In the future, my kids will have history lessons on what items are extinct, or perhaps some genius will come up with a picture book on these extinct items. At least they know it existed once.
