Ready or not here comes a super photo-heavy post!!!!!!

From my ROM day!!

I was so happy that day coz everything just went so perfectly! Had a crazy time photoshopping all the piccies coz in every picture my smile is just like XD and my lower teeth are just horribly crooked. -_-

Forlino had these GORGEOUS ceiling-to-floor glass windows which let in the sunlight perfectly for the photos! (And great for the view also lah but I'm not a big fan of views - I'd rather look at a perfectly lit photo of me LOL)

Nonetheless everyone really went all out and when I was a kid I didn't dream of my wedding day but if I did, it wouldn't have been far from this. :)

Photos taken by Douglas Fun (yes his name is so cute!) from AVENUE 8 and Joan Leong from JOAN LEONG PHOTOGRAPHY. Joan's photos have a JL logo on them. The rest by Douglas!

Obviously photoshop by me. If you think the photo comes with a vintage colouring, it's done by me. Some are also cropped by me. :D

For original unphotoshopped photos you can click HERE and HERE. I mean for whatever reason you wanna see me fat and ugly lah can go ahead but I don't see why you would want to. I mean fat and ugly people are everywhere anyway, not exactly a rare sight.




They came early in the morning to set up, and the first thing I saw when I entered Forlino? Poppy staff twirling vines around the banister. Crazy!


You know, I've always thought that flowers were not very important when it comes to weddings BUT THEY REALLY ARE!!!!!!

Without them the romantic FEEL just ISN'T there!

Can you imagine all the tables barren without the flowers?

And it really isn't easy to come up with different floral designs to fit different themes!

I totally didn't have any creative input in how Poppy did their floral design but WOW! Freaking perfect. Crazy generous too! It was just a pity that those flowers only was in the public eye for a few hours.


Wedding planners Vernetta and Lois from Eternally Yours arrived way earlier than me (8 am) to prepare. Poor Vern was in crutches (missed a step and fell down) somemore lor!!


Mike trying to handle his own scarf but really most men aren't very good with such things! lol


Showing Rose where I want my fascinator. (Yes that type of hat is called a Candy Man Fascinator! I swear!)


Gotta love Junnybaby!! Silly Wongsie was supposed to come early together with Shuyin and perform helping/registration duties but the night before she ate a week old durian puff and fell tragically sick.

So Wongsie couldn't come early and I asked Junne instead. She readily agreed and coz she stays near me, came to my place and the three of us rode on Laopokasaurus to Forlino together!!

She woke up at 7.20am, even earlier than me! (7.30am, bolted awake) LOVE!!

Oh and on top of all these, as seen in the photo above, she went to buy food for all of us coz I said I was hungry!!


So here's Keith (who designed and made my gown) helping with stylist duties early in the morning just coz he is THAT NICE!!

He totally didn't need to but helped me throughout the day with adjusting my dress etc etc.

MAD LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE


In fact, when I first stepped into the place I was so bloody impressed I could have just fainted!!

I don't know if they adjusted the lighting for me or what but the staircase was romantically dim with shattered spotlights... The walls were dark and the interior design was so classy and sleek. I really felt like I was in a vintage dream! A vintage MAFIA dream! Totally felt like I was the gangster boss's wife!

Hiyah I'm just yabbering stuff here but once you go to Forlino (and you should! Their food has crazy good reviews, just google!) you'd totally understand lah. Their staircase is awesome! Totally set the mood.


I am officially a big fan of Forlino! For every wedding anniversary from now on, Mike and I will go dine at Forlino's!


Dunno why people gave us angpows man when it's totally not necessary for ROM lah!! (somemore so paiseh it's sponsored.)

So I net gained like 700 bucks for my ROM. -_-

Biggest angpow from Boss Ming who paid for a room in bloody Capella (like the freaking best hotel in Singapore or something man) for us at $549!! We had a fucking fantastic time there!! Tytyty!! I took pics... Next entry!


Btw Shuyin DESIGNED AND SEWN her own dress (!!!) and did her own hair, 20s marcel curls style!!

I think she trying to outdo Keith. LOL!!


Howard, who was the first to arrive because he saw my tweet that latecomers will be barred from entry and was quite scared. HAHAHA


Ripple and Sheng Rong sneaking in to give hugs. Ripple just got married herself and I went to her wedding (see ring) and I still have not posted the photos! Mad lazy!


The groom looking majorly handsome. Can you believe I married this guy?? DUUUUUDE! Must have done shitloads of charity last life.


Munkysuperstar girls attaching my microphone for me. I've come to associate microphone attachment with all important events in my life.


Daddy being interviewed by Charlene, TNP reporter. Aw I dunno where the story went to. Oh well. I blame cb Jack Neo. Can't that whore Wendy Chong like confront him a few days after my wedding?? But nooooo... MUST. HOG. HEADLINES.


Raine from Nuffnang taking an artsy photo. I've noticed that photographers love taking photos of photographers taking photos. It's like poetic justice* or something.

*Yes that was a joke obviously I didn't use poetic justice correctly.


Obviously I only had service from the VIP table lah but I heard from all other friends they were crazy attentive!!

Incident 1) Friends swapped tables. Staff remembered, still, exactly who wanted beef and who wanted cod!!! Crazy or what!

Incident 2) Cousins needed baby chairs for kids and Forlino didn't have any but went to somewhere to borrow!!!

Incident 3) REFILLED appetizers when they were empty (!!). I mean refilling drinks ok but appetizers?! Really went all out man!!!

Incident 4) When my risotto with lobster came I saw that my lobster piece is smaller than Mike's. This is a long standing joke between me and him and we always gloat over who gets bigger portions.

So I told (I presume) the captain (cute Indian guy with turquoise tie) that Mike's lobster piece is bigger than mine and I'm sad!

The manager smiled at me and said that's because my main course will be bigger than Mike's. Everybody laughed and I told him I was (obviously) just joking.

Five minutes later he came back and dropped a ginormous piece of lobster onto my place. I hastily told him he really doesn't need to do that and he just smiled and said it's my big day and I get what I want!!!

Somemore later on I realised that my original lobster piece is actually bigger than Mike's coz half of it was hidden inside the risotto. -_- Comparison fail.

15/10 stars for Forlino's staff!!


Love this awesome photo of Keith and Clarence (Lee, who is the best make up artist in sg). If you are lucky enough to know the two of them together they have the power to make you look fucking gorgeous!!! LOLOL

Just imagine if you are stuck on deserted island with both of them you'd have gorgeous island clothes (I am presuming Keith will sew banana leaves or something) and gorgeous mineral make up made of dried clams or something (I am presuming Clarence will know how).

You'd be the most gorgeous Lost babe! LOL I'm talking so much nonsense. You may argue that when trapped on a deserted island looks should be of low priority but that's coz you have not considered that

1) There might be a handsome island guy who might just be the love of your life...
2) When rescue team comes there might also be a media frenzy and you won't have time to make up/dress up before being interviewed.




Witnesses in matching red, marching in and looking smashing together. I didn't know my mom and shuyin got so much chemistry in being matchy matchy, lol.


Shuyin was registration girl, ring bearer (if that's what the person passing the rings is called) and witness that day. Mad busy.


Reciting vows. Feels stupid!! LOL... Must put up right hand to swear and all!! Then amputee with no right hand how?


THIS is supposedly fucking delicious but I didn't get to eat it coz I was taking pictures with everyone!! Sad max.


Mike with his friends Ming + Jivesh giving their best impression of Italian dudes. LOL

Aw the boys look SO GOOD in their suits!! Men dressed up really makes such a big difference!


I find it very funny I was obviously trying to get Junne's attention in this photo but she plainly ignored me. Hmpf!



Ghimz and Xiaofeng amused by dunno what.



My brother looking handsomely bored. LOLOL



Mom and Dad



LOVE this photo! So cute!!


People forced me to qiao my ass up to take a photo. Ok fine they suggested it and I did it to camwhore.


Parma ham is salty and melts in your mouth... Melon is super sweet, juicy, and the fight of sweet + salty just gives the perfect explosion in your mouth!

Sounds terrible but anyone who have tried parma ham + melon will tell you it's as good a combi as PB and J. No, BETTER.


For those of you wondering where Mike's family were... That's his mom chatting with us all the way from USA on the phone. :D

And it was sooooo sweet coz a lot of Mike's relatives were watching us from Ustream, LIVE! It's almost like they were there. Mike was pretty upset his family were not around to share the joy that day but he felt much better know his family could watch + talk to him on the phone. :)

They didn't come because it's just the ROM and not the actual wedding... And we didn't think it was economical for them to come with plane tickets priced at $2,300 each.

Mike and I are also planning to have a small wedding over in USA in April when we go back so yup! (still in the midst of discussion)


Yet another satisfied client of Eternally Yours... Thanks Lois (in white/black) for being so meticulous and even speaking to my grandparents in Cantonese to ease them up!! Xoxo


It's so funny coz everyone who had the beef said the beef must definitely be nicer than the cod and whoever had the cod is convinced the cod is better!! Maybe both are perfect! LOL

Weird right? Anyway totally loved the beef's mashed potato. The truffle flavour is explosive!


With Lois, Douglas and Vern! Thanks Doug for coming so early and snapping so many gazillion photos tirelessly!! I love the attitude!!

I only have praise for Avenue 8. If you wish to use their photographers, I HIGHLY recommend Doug!!

(I wonder who took this photo)


Me with Ashley and Jessica. I love all my filming sessions coz they are so fun and positive to hang out with!! XOXO


Rozz and Gillian with the classic "act serious" face. Everytime she does that I wanna laugh my fucking ass off.


Eekean examining my skirt... I spot Keith doing explaining!! He very proud of his skirt lor LOLOLOL


Ending this post with the most shocking person of the day... WHO ELSE BUT WONGSIE???

She normally dresses very androgenously but in, according to her, an effort to look even more attention seeking than me she WORE A SLUTTY DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Good god I haven't seen her in a dress since River Valley days where our school uniform was a dress. WOAH!


And here she is in HEELS (!), BODYCON TIGHT SHINY DRESS (!!!!), and GLOVES... POSING DEMURELY!! *dies of shock*


CLEAVAGEY photo for you perverts out there! See, I will love you as long as you are a reader, pervert, paedophile or murderer!! Plus it's not everyday you'd see lawyerly cleavage.


I'd be doing up another pre-wedding post after this!! But once again thanks to all my FABULOUS sponsors!! :D

Everybody blogging about Jack Neo I also must!!!!!!!!

I just saw the clip of his media interview! I know I'm late but sorry lah, people busy getting married.

Anyway it's MUTHAFUCKING FUNNY TO THE MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean everyone said it was dramatic but I didn't know it was THAT dramatic lah!! It like totally involved every dramatic element in your typical Channel 8 episode... Fainting! A gangster yelling!

Maybe just not the raping (almost! If only the French girl said yes!) and lack of a semi-retarded person who is also very likeable coz he/she is so innocent and doe-eyed.

Okok watch here:




FUNNY RIGHT??

I mean it almost looks bloody scripted!

And since it already looks so fake I'd suggest that, for the extra PR's sake, they employ a professional (*ahem, me*) to script it out for them. Seriously. I'm good. I've watched many Channel 8 shows and so I know all their cliched lines.

So here's my suggested script. You'd find that it is a lot better than theirs. I've tried to put in a scene where lovers yell meaninglessly at the ocean or play with sparklers in a dandelion field but in this instance it is a bit restricted since it's in a conference room.

p/s: Written with real script-writing software. Contains Mandarin coz English just isn't THAT cheesy and mushy.




How's it? DRAMATIC NOT!!!!!!!! Obviously after that Irene will be miraculously "revived" lah. HEHEHE!!

(Got the red grammar error lines coz I print-screened and didn't notice wtf)

Anyway people are gonna be asking me to give Irene a break etc etc. To this I say OH LIGHTEN UP!! It's a joke, ok!!


Do I believe she really fainted? I'd put my money on No, but probably felt a bit faint and played it up. You know, just like how the Ouija Board pointer moves. Is it real? Who knows? I know I pushed it sometimes.

Anyway she probably doesn't read my blog (I can't see it happening) and all of you idiots yelling "Leave them alone!" are just the hypocrites buying the papers so that you can yell more. Please. People truly disinterested won't even be chiding others about it and leaving dumb internet comments.

Everyone knows my views towards cheating. If there were so many girls, do think she only knew about his philandering ways recently?

EVERY-SINGLE-FUCKING-GIRL I know occasionally checks phones/fb/emails or at the very least expect calls to be picked up or know where their bf's/husband's location is.

These girls call him while he's with his wife (at least Wendy Chong says she does). If he leaves the room to pick up, is it not normal for his wife to ask who it is later? Is it that hard to catch a lie? Or maybe he leaves his phone in the room while showering and girls send him saucy smses? Is it not uncommon for the wife to pick up the ringing phone and see what the sms is?

She obviously has been tolerating this behaviour since a long time ago. She has come to terms with it. While she didn't do anything wrong, I don't see why this issue is so "hard" on her either. Everyone is just saying she's handling it very coolly and that she's a fab wife, very poor thing etc. NEED TO FAINT MEH?

Yeah yeah how would I know what she went thru... Please hor lao niang also got my fair share of shit coverage by the media ok! I mean obviously not as kua zhang as theirs but I also had endorsements dropped ok! I even had Wanbao mistaken me as another person and said I flashed boobies on my blog/have aids tested every 6 months -_-

So yeah can't really give sympathy for them because thus is the life of a famous person. GOT UPS WILL ALSO HAVE DOWNS!!!!!! Higher you go deeper you fall!! Cliched but true. :)


p/s: I have come to notice that cheaters tend to forgive cheaters. Not accusing Irene. Just making an observation amongst people I know.


p/p/s:




Hutch from Numbnuts? How about second granny kissing?

The day after tomorrow is my ROM, and my friend Joan just told me I'm the most relaxed bride ever.

Other than physically going to get my hair dyed and buying my own shoes/gloves/hat, I was virtually kiao kah-ing (relaxing; not doing a thing) the entire time!!

AND THAT'S COZ I HAD THE MOST FABULOUS, EXPERIENCED AND HELPFUL PEOPLE making my wedding happen!!!

See that's the shitty thing about most of life's most exciting and memorable events - you don't get a freaking rehearsal.

Wedding? Most of us hope to only do it once, and with that one chance you've got to do it right. Giving birth? Won't pop out twice. Losing your virginity? Most likely not very pleasant with no experience.

And therefore, when it comes to weddings... Relax. Don't try to control every single detail since you are likely to be really ignorant about most things anyway!

Let the right people handle it for you and just go for the ride! It should be fun!

Ok lah fine I'm only saying that coz I have the most ridiculously efficient and awesome wedding planners EVER.

Wedding planners are so bloody important... Even if it costs extra, don't scrimp on it man!! Who wants to fuss over nitty gritty to throw a wedding??


Headed by Vernetta Lopez (REMEMBER?? UNDER ONE ROOF!!! DENISE!) who surprisingly enough opened a wedding planning company.

There were a few companies (like 5 in total) interested to sponsor wedding planning for me but man, Eternally Yours really, really impressed. Like bowled me over.

Gillian (manager) asked the wedding planning companies to try to come up with vendors who were willing to sponsor wedding necessities for me.

Lois from Eternally Yours was so on the ball and just kept throwing suggestions and ideas on venues, themes, etc etc.

THAT's what we brides really need. (Smacks table top assertively) Sometimes it gets so tiresome and we just think "What the fuck am I doing? Why am I doing all these tedious, expensive shit? Don't get married lah, fuck it."

And then it's like the men are so disinterested! Mad sian. I'm sure ALL brides felt this way at least once.

We just need fervid enthusiasm and ideas and positivity from someone who knows how to handle everything. It just keeps us going, you know? And suddenly it's something fun again, something to look forward to. The event of a lifetime. :)

Within literally freaking HOURS Eternally Yours contacted sponsors and were telling me that responses were good but yet to be finalised... In the end... They found...



Photographers... Gowns... Venue... Food... EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING IS SPONSORED.



I even suspected they used black magic coz it's really not easy to convince vendors to give out sponsorships, especially since I'm no Fann Wong!!

I was so bloody touched I really was damn close to like crying or something!!! Sob sob. Why do I always meet the best people?

(In contrast another wedding planning company told me she cannot get sponsors. Not even 1! WTF!! Your aptitude needs a check.)

If you need a wedding planner, use Eternally Yours!! Fabulous. If I'm lying I'd be sulking throughout my wedding ok but I confirm won't be!



Initially my ROM was to be held on 14th March coz that's the day we sorta got together, but after checking with the geomancer, it was found that 14th was inauspicious for us. :(



After all this sort of thing better safe that sorry!! After calculating with our birthdates and time, the geomancer said 13th is great so it's held on 13th instead!

Anyway Mike came to SG on March 10, 2006 and left March 17, 2006. So somewhere in between we got together lah. Nobody could remember so we set it at 14th. For all we know could be 13th lor!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!




Here's a little bitchy story. Hotel N***i wanted to sponsor their poolside for my wedding too. Keep in mind they approached me, not me them.

When we (me + nuffnang peeps) were having a little chat with them to discuss this, they were bloody insincere. In fact, the unprofessional manager decided halfway that talking to us was uninteresting and started to talk on her phone!! Asking someone to bring her to a PARTY and to intro her to the HIGH COMMISSIONER! GIGGLING! FLIRTING! All while being at the same table with us!

When Huiwen asked them to throw in a complimentary hotel room for me, they quoted prices. Unwilling to provide food, and told us that if we brought our own catering we had to make it NO PORK NO LARD coz the owner is VEGETARIAN MUSLIM!! WTF!!! Where got like this impose this sort of rules one?!

So seeing as they suck, Eternally Yours resolved to find another sponsor for me and there was... *drumroll*




Located at Fullerton, not only does it have a steadfast reputable for serving excellent Italian food, it is also beautiful and has an awesome view.


The style of the restaurant is very classic, vintage Italian, which is why the theme of my ROM is Italian Mafia!!


Of course these are stock photos and you'd see more after the ROM.

Seeing as N Hotel was so giam, I was feeling a bit of low self-esteem and honestly expected Forlino to provide maybe only finger food... BUT NO!

They went ALL. THE. WAY. OUT:




So ridiculously posh I don't even know what some of them are. All I see is Lobster... Tenderloin... Cod... Panna Cotta... Parma Ham... And they all sound so good!!

Thanks for the generosity Forlino.

And this is to the sort of service and attitude you want from your venue provider for your wedding! I know they are sponsoring me yes but this says a lot too! That giving extra is ok, as long as everyone is happy!! You don't want a company that's going all out to dig money from you with every aspect possible! (Ahem N hotel)

Can't wait!!




Okok so you saw a bit of the Menu Card up there... Details like your menu design should not be neglected too!!


Thank you Barnyard Creations for working with my crazy tight timeline and coming up with a "MOBSTER MENU"!



I know this is becoming a long-winded entry but it's not my fault everyone's so awesome I have to rave about them...

Mike's suit is sponsored by Sattine.


We met Francis there, who is one of the best salesman I've ever met.

When we arrived, Francis (polite, enthusiastic, on the ball, does magic with ties and scarves) had already been told the theme (by Lois, who seems to be working 24/7). He prepared 3 suits for Mike to choose from.

We didn't like the first but fell in love with the second. No need to try the third. It was perfect.

Won't wanna spoil the surprise so here's just one pic with Francis in it:


Coz the theme involved red, whenever we didn't like anything Francis kept rushing back to the storeroom to get more things for us to try.

Till today I didn't know a tux involved so many parts:

There's the "winged collar shirt", a vest, a cumber band, pants, the jacket, and either a bowtie; tie; scarf. I might even be wrong.

And just imagine how hard it is to decide what is nice when your vest can be any colour and so can your cumber band, bow tie etc etc!!!

But Francis had great taste and just conjured this all while giving us lots of choices!!


I gawked when Mike walked out of the fitting room coz he looked so dashing. FML... In movies it's supposed to be the GUY doing that.


Of course I have other awesome sponsors too but this entry is getting too long so I'd intro them another day after the ROM!! :D :D :D :D

Sorry for the lack of entries... Obviously preparing for my ROM. Busy!! Anyway although this blog post is an advert it's also a normal post coz it has a lot of non-product related photos... Hope you like it! :D

Woohoo!!! Got exciting news!!!

Always wanted to meet me to see how I look like without photoshop? Well now you can, at the first Bloggers' Symposium ever organized, sponsored by Canon!!

This is a Nuffnang event so it's guaranteed to be fun. Ever heard of symposiums? Me neither (if you have you are too smart for your own good so shut up).

A symposium is just like a conference except it's interactive. And in this conference the speakers are 5 different bloggers (in different rooms) and I AM ONE OF THEM!!!!!!

Sign up for my "class" and I'd be imparting my precious and mad awesome photoshop skills with you guys!!! And how to take good camwhoring shots, etc etc!!


And this event is TOTALLY free!!! FREE!! No hidden tricks or costs... Organised simply because Canon and Nuffnang feels that this will make blogging more interesting to everyone. -_- They really very wei da.

Since this is a photography event, Canon so generously sponsored me the IT camera of the season, the much talked about Canon PowerShot S90!!!!!


And here's how it looks like. Sleek, black, and semi-pro. Most amazingly of all, it is RIDICULOUSLY LIGHT AND SMALL.

Digital cameras have really come a far way... I can't believe the quality of the photos when it is barely bigger/heavier than a compact point and shoot camera! It's really almost DSLR quality!

Anyway here are some 50 photos that I snapped with the new baby so you can judge for yourself!



Whatever man. You rich enough to buy a fucking plane people wanna take photo of them also cannot! Got so selfish not! When I get rich I'd buy a pink plane and anyone who wants to snap pics with it can go right ahead.


Nuffies... This is taken WITHOUT flash. With the "low-light" function on the camera which is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Can you imagine it was like twilight when this was snapped?


I love it when she organizes this!! We just spent the day vegging at Gillian's, watching tv shows (A shot at Love with Tila Tequila/Glee), nomming on New Year goodies and playing games like Cranium/Taboo/Pictionary etc!! Very fun, awesome company :D :D

I turned on the Low Light function on the camera and set it to multi-shots - coz we were all sure Jessica was going to make the Jenga fall!!!!!!

Gotta say I love the multi-shot function!!

AND the BEST thing about the S90? It is RARELY EVER BLURRY. Even without flash!!

Like of all the photos I took (hundreds) maybe, erm, 2 were blur. This is so bloody incredible!


And yes I snapped this and NO this is not an ad for Jenga!! I just happen to have friends with very dramatically excited expressions LOL!!

Hahahaha I just smile everytime I see this pic coz it's so bloody happy!!! Esp Gillian's face!!


And it's toppled!!! LOLOL... All this happened within split seconds. And yet thanks to the awesome camera I captured all the memories! Thanks s90!!



More piccies I took...

One of the best things about this camera is the COLOUR SWAP/COLOUR ACCENT function!!

You pick a distinct colour in a photo, and you can either


SWAP: Switch it with another colour! Imagine a pink sky, blue grass!

ACCENT: Make the camera ONLY capture that colour and the rest of the photo is b/w!



Want to WIN THE CANON PowerShot S90???

Here's a crazily easy contest. Just send in a photo that fits the theme "HAPPINESS" to myhappiness@nuffnang.com!!

The largest and most visible organ on our body is our skin, which is why we need to take superb care of it!!

That's why I was happy when Asian Skin Solutions asked me if I would like to try out their O2 Peel Rejuvenation Facial Treatment!!

(Never too early to start to look good for my wedding teeheehee)



Ok this photo looks more artistic:


Asian Skin Solutions is specially tailored to Asian females, and that's why before my facial treatment, all sorts of questions were asked so that they can better known my skin and give the best sort of treatment to me!

Questions such as the my lifestyle, environmental conditions etc. :D

After my analysis and consultation, I was led into their rooms... Located conveniently at Orchard Central (that's the mall next to 313), they have a spacious corrider at the back where all the treatment rooms are!


At this point I already felt that my skin was super refreshed and light!

Step 4 is Extraction, which is the most unpleasant part of any facials...

Using tools (like metal tools), the therapist will extract clogged white heads/black heads etc from your skin, and squeeze zits! Oh my poor forehead.

Luckily, this process wasn't that painful because the steam already softened my skin and loosened the pores.

It's necessary though coz in the long term clogged pores do bad things to your skin!


It was very fun coz a jet of pure oxygen was sprayed on my skin!! Very cooling and nice after the extraction. The stream of oxygen was very intense and I imagined all my dead skin cells flying off. LOL!!

Step 6 was a Facial Massage and I could feel myself nodding off... It was so shiok.


The therapist spread a super thick and cool paste on my face and zzzzz I have no idea what happened after that coz I fell asleep. Hahaha!


Now for the last step which is my favourite: SHOULDER MASSAGE!!!

Enjoy maximum!!


Skin is definitely more glowy and brightened. Totally feels silky smooth, baby-soft and QQ!! It is super hydrated and luminous. :D


After being a satisfied client, I still had presents!! Mad shiok!!

Asian Skin Solutions showed me some of their products, the DK1 line, which is only available with them and nowhere else.


What can I say? Awesome cleanser! Smells very, erm, I guess the only word to describe it is LUXURIOUS!!

After I use it I feel I should use an expensive body wash too. Hahaha!!

The texture is very viscous and smooth. Can be used as a make up remover too!


The booster is a great serum that will provide immediate lifting effect and help lock in moisture!

The H20 Lift is an excellent moisturizer with the ability to hold 50 times of water to its mass!! What the! Why so amazing one?


Sunblock with SPF 60!! It simulates "collagen synthesis", which I have no idea is what but it sounds good.


The texture is very light - water based and not sticky!! If you are looking for the perfect sunblock, can give this a try!

It's 4am and I'm lying in bed hit by an urgent need to blog this. On my berry that is.

See just a few minutes ago I wanted to look at my hair. It's swiftly becoming my favourite asset because it's the most attention-grabbing thing that's growing from me. Granted it's tortured with loads of chemicals to turn it this colour but still... Gorgeous.

So basically to take "looking at my hair" to the next step I used two mirrors to see how an admiring person standing behind me will view my hair (lucky them!).

And it struck me that not only is it chio, it's bloody long!! It has - finally - hit my waist!!!

I'm officially one of those girls with waist-length hair!! Together with water nymphs and sirens and angels etc. (Poor village people not counted. Do they use serum? No. Anyway they probably just put on wigs when the discovery channel people come along. Duh. Poor AND zero integrity)

So anyway my point is that my hair is long!

And WHY is it long???

U may think the answer is so silly even those village people can answer it.

It is coz I haven't cut it in AGES!!

Simple... But yet... Due to a lie that has swept the world, most girls will tell u that long, healthy hair only exists coz of REGULAR TRIMMING.

Regular trimming my sweet ass.

Lies!!!

Trimming does not, I quote most people, cut away the split ends so the hair can grow.

Rubbish. My hair. Waist. 1 year no cutting. 'Nuff said.

So here's my theory of how this conspiracy came about. One day, a dumbshit girl decided to cut her gorgeous long hair short thinking she will look spunky and refreshed.

Instead she just looked like a boy and nobody wanted to fuck her. So she went crying to her hairdresser and said, "I'm so bloody sad coz I used to be the pretty one in the group and now it's Jenny because her hair is all swishy!! Boohoohoo!!"

And she continued, hiccupping, "I just wish every other girl also would have short hair... By the time mine is long jenny's will be LONGER!! Boohoohoo!"

So the hairdresser had an epiphany and said, "Wait a min... I think I might have a solution!! That would benefit BOTH me and u!"

The next day when swishy Jenny went to the salon, the evil hairdresser then told jenny that she needs to "trim her ends" so that it will grow faster, longer, healthier!

Coz this would mean Jenny would keep coming back for trims, and that's business!!

"Are u sure?" said Jenny, "It seems highly illogical that I should be cutting something I wanna grow..."

The hairdresser used hair jargons (follicles!! R2D2!! Etc!!) and Jenny believed him.

So centuries passed and the myth that trimming hair aids hair growth ballooned to enormous severity.

Smarter girls who know the truth (like me) but are less nice are also helping to spread it.

Queen bitch had a bad haircut? She's also probably telling friends they have split ends and need a trim. Can't slim down gotta make 'em all fat!!

Girls who complain their hair never grow long? Also the idiots who "trim".

Girls with fab long hair DO NOT cut!!

(Instead they go for treatments and apply generous amounts of serum)

So yes, I'm letting u in on the secret of a lifetime!!

No matter what a hairstylist says, do not cut your ends if u wanna grow out your hair! It's a biz trick!

Girlfriend tries to persuade u to take an inch off? Don't hold back - punch her in the ovaries. How do u like that now, bitch? Friends don't sabotage friends to get "boycuts", aka "instant desexifier".

Now you may think that this blog entry is ridiculous and that there is plenty of proof/evidence/sciencey shit that shows hair grows faster with trimming.

Well that's coz you are either taken in by the lies spun by centuries of hairdressers who pay PR people to conjure nasty fake statistics and bribe scientists to lie...

OR

You are one of those nasty girls who have ugly hair. Well sux2BU but seriously girl, go buy a wig and stop sabotaging the rest of us, yo.

Yes, you all may be weeping, reeling in the fact you have been deceived for years but shitloads of ill-meaning people.

But now you know better.

Ok I got this off my chest. You know what's also on my chest? My gorgeous long hair! Which I'm not gonna trim. Coz trimming is for dumbfucks.

Tata!!

Teeheehee...

In case you are not following me on Twitter (DO IT! FOLLOW ME!), you'd have been puzzled as to why the photos on the Magnolia advert below looks so bloody professional and chio!!

That is because I bought a ring light!!

Actually I have no idea what it's called but it's basically studio lighting... In the shape of a ring. Kinda like the bulbs we have on our ceilings but standing!!

You balance the ring light on a tripod, and shoot THROUGH the ring light.

On top of the light, in a never-ending effort to make my adverts more professional (*ahem* also to take camwhoring to the zenith), I also bought a WIRED REMOTE CONTROL for my L10 (the DSLR)!!

SNAP SNAP SNAP!! So easy!!

And you can actually see the ring light REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES!! It's really fun.

So anyway here are some more camwhoring shots I took that night:




Anyway there are 3 bonus photos which I found quite priceless. After I set up the ring light and camera, I wanted to see how a portrait photo would turn out so I asked Mike to come over and let me take a picture of him.

He is so mad cute he walked over and thought the ring light is super bright!!!




I said, "B... You gotta open your eyes! I wanna see if the ring light will be reflected in the eyes!"

And so he did:





LOLOL


Poor baby, he has sensitive eyes.

Loads of inquiries about the contacts. They are from Spectacle Hut but I assure you they are not so striking/pretty IRL. Looks more grey than purple. Just the fab lighting!

Inquiry no 2 about the ring light. I bought it at Funan at $100++... That's not including the $40/60 (I forgot which) tripod. The light should be sold at any camera shop.

Most people will probably find this entry very boring but nonetheless...

I play Pet Society, a game on facebook... Recently I quit but they introduced Petlings - which is, erm, a pet of your pet. Yes that's silly.

But anyway you can choose either a kitty or puppy (tiger also can but must pay with real life money -_-).

I've always liked kitties but I'm not gonna buy one after The Pumpkin Incident... So I bought a Petling Kitty!! And their puppies are just not that cute, so not interested in the dogs...

The only problem is that for Petlings, when you purchase one as a baby, you can't choose the colour/looks at all. It's completely random!!

The colours available are black, white, shades of brown from cream to chocolate... hideous blue... AND PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what's the problem, right? Buy it, don't like it, buy another. But even if you have all the Pet Society money in the world, you can't just dump a Petling and buy another. It takes 3 days to grow from baby to adult and if you try to dump it midway the game chides you for being irresponsible -_-.

I got a black kitty (yuck) and then a cream kitty (not bad) but I still can't get a pink one!!

Thanks to a friend who taught me this trick before though, today I tried to get a pink kitty... You can just try and try (without waiting 3 days) till you get the perfect one!!

It's technically considered a cheat I guess but because I'm awesome like that I'd share it!!

1) Load Pet Society when you are qualified to get a new Petling. (ie you don't have a Petling or all Petlings you have are adults)

2) After loading, DO NOT buy a Petling yet. Instead, go to Offline Mode. Offline mode is available in Mozilla and IE but not chrome.

3) Double check you are in offline mode. Now go buy a Petling baby.

4) Feed the baby food to see what it turns into. Now we split into 2 options:

A) You like it. Lucky you! Uncheck your offline and play pet society as per normal.

B) You don't like it. Still lucky coz you read me. Now press refresh. Pet society will tell you it can't load coz you are offline. Now uncheck Offline Mode. Refresh again. TADAH!! It will be like you never bought the Petling baby at all!!

Now all you have to do is to repeat Step 1 till you get the kitty/puppy of your liking!!

:D :D :D

Anyway I was being fucking anal nitpicking on all my kitties.....

I must have refreshed about 40 times and got 3 pink kitties out of all my tries but I didn't really like any of them!!


Got so many patterns one!!

After careful observation I realised:

HEAD: 5 styles and 2 of them are disgusting double chin sorts!! Gross!! Don't like the bald one either. I only like the stewie-head shaped one and the first pink kitty's!!

EYES: Yellow, brown, turquoise and blue. I only want the blue/turquoise on my kitty!!

EYE SHAPE: Pointy and round... Don't mind either but prefer pointy.

BODY: Comes in S M L sizes!!! WTF right? I didn't notice this at first but the larger cats are so much less cute!! Only the S sized ones are adorable but I accept M too.

EARS: Comes in 5 shapes... Don't mind any but prefer the fuzzy ones...

TAIL: Comes in Bushy, MAD FLUFFY, normal, stripey and normal with coloured tip. I only want the bushy/fluffy!!!

FEET: With white 'socks' and no socks!! Of course prefer with socks, but ok with none too.


The dark chocolate one I drew with a heart is freaking perfect except it is NOT PINK!!!!

Erm so after like 2 hours of refreshing I accidentally forgot to hit the offline key before buying my kitty and now I'm stuck with a shitty orange large one (thank god no jowls and has blue eyes) for the next 3 days before I can repeat this evil time-consuming cycle again.

-_-

Feel free to pile either "You have no life" or "ZOMG THANK YOU YOU ARE A SAVIOUR I WANT A PINK KITTY TOO" comments.


p/s: How can it be I got no blue kitty out of like 40 tries? Good thing I guess, hate blue.

A great thank you to Project Alpha and MAS for flying me to London!!!

Mad sleepy for some reason so expect short captions...


I dunno why but I guess coz it's not peak period, the plane only had 76 of us!!! ONE WHOLE GINORMOUS PLANE!!

Everyone had a 4-seat "bed" all to themselves! Service was impeccable. Food was great. Best 12 hours on a plane I ever had.


Unfortunately the MAS flight on the way back was super full though. I guess the Chinese in London are going back to KL for CNY? Well, not everyday Sunday.


After about 40 mins in a cab, we arrive at Millennium hotel!! It's right smack in the center of London Mayfair. Nice!


Look at all the posh and stuffy English people in their suits... And in contrast, David sprawled across the couch like a deflated jellybean. Hahaha

At least I THINK it's David.



After this we take a walk out to find a place for dinner!! It only took everyone 5 mins out in the cold (about 5 degrees) to realise we all didn't have enough warm clothing, and went upstairs to pile on more. -_-

I hate being cold!!! Grrrr


And there we are at this place called Spaghetti house. Michael (left, director), Jojo (host), and Tony (cameraman).

At this point Mike arrived and walked over to meet us. He ordered pizza:


Om nom nom photo!!! Niki's vongole, Michael's... Something spaghetti. I forgot what he had.

By the time we were done it was like 10 plus or something!! SLEEPYTIME!!



Fleece double breasted jacket (F21), white turtleneck (This Fashion!! HAHAHA), glitter hat (Bugis V), SUPER THICK black leggings (with corduroy inside - best buy ever totally saved my life in London, and from This Fashion too at $17!), blue heart print shorts (This Fashion again), and brown lace-up wedge boots (HK). :D

My god I'm almost all decked out in This Fashion. Seriously, you just need to dig - they have good stuff!!



Anyway I took a pair of coloured contacts to London but Mike forgot to pack to the toiletries so I had no contact solution. As such, I washed my lens under the tap, and expectedly enough, it fell into the abyss below.

FML I look so hideous without my contacts. Fuck small black eyes!!

My eyes are brown with photoshop, in case you are wondering.


Mike at the lounge, waiting for our turn to be filmed. I took him to look atas and this is all he could muster. Lousy!

Fantabulously enough, we were to have lunch at Millennium's Avista restaurant - and the meal was to be cooked by a famous chef who is on Master Chef (tv show)!!!

So exciting. :D


Ok I'm not gonna apologize for the barrage of food photos ok coz this is LONDON FOOD!! Therefore must take pictures!


Incredible tuna tartar (? forgive me if I spelt it wrong and made it the teeth dirt thingy). Ok I checked and it's tartare. So tuna tartare with rocket salad. Came in a glass dome filled with smoke, and there was so much fanfare when it was opened!!!

The smoke like swirled out in a totally artsy way man!!

But I hate raw stuff so didn't eat this.


Foie gras with beans! Looks like pate but tastes just like pan fried foie gras. Totally melts in your mouth!! LOVE


The calamari that looks chao tah. I took a bite. Not much diff from the other golden calamari.

You know what? It's like impossible to tell if this thing is charred during frying!!! Therefore it HAS to be cooked with the rest of the normal coloured tempura!! LOL


This pasta thingy is filled with the juiciest softest pork ever, and comes with chestnuts. Totally chomped it down.



It was way too cold to wear my sparkly hat outdoors so I wore my furry one instead!! Also lifesaver man this hat. I hate cold ears! Bought from Accessorize!


I have no interest in buildings normally (well they mostly aren't pink, are they??!), but those in London are really different from anywhere else's! So... Victorian. Mostly.



Mike and I. In case you were thinking, this photo looks like something that will be on newspapers... WELL THAT'S COZ IT'S TAKEN BY A REAL JOURNALIST!!

Niki is a reporter from The Star, the biggest English paper in Malaysia. And he takes fab pics!!


Ok lah this one got people, not just buildings. Everyone looks bloody rich there man. I suppose that's coz I was in the posh part of London.

And nobody wears pink except little girls. Even little girls wear black lor. -_-


Everyone on the subway with me clearly sitting. LOL

I hate the tube btw. Most places are mad far to walk from the stations (yes, insert 'Singaporeans are too pampered' insult here) and who likes walking in the frigid cold?? Who?? URGH!

Next time I go I'm cabbing everywhere unless I can't get a cab!!

It's not that ex, maybe between 20-30 sgd. Ok what!!

Totally being prissy but it's not a trekking holiday damn it!!! If I wanted to trek in the cold I'd go to Siberia!! Well at least the ppl there have dogs to pull them and they don't need to switch dogs at interchanges. HAHAHAHA!!

But boh pian coz this time we had to shoot at touristy places and touristy places are all outdoors. Next time I just wont go in winter!

I think I threw a mini hissy fit after walking a million miles in the cold to see the London Eye... Sorry Project Alpha members!! Sorry I'm so bloody unfit!!

And thanks for the patience with me. Everyone was so being so nice!! *embarrassed face*


I know his jacket says france (he is american) but I bought it for damn cheap ($50 - bought it one day before the trip and Mike had no winter jackets!) and france is the only logo they have!




It was dinnertime and Ming called to spring a surprise on us.

He booked a table at a 1 Michelin star restaurant for all of us!!!!

SO FUCKING HAPPY!!!

I've NEVER had food at such a posh place before and was dying to try. :D Tytyty Boss Ming!!


Here's Jojo's appetizer. She didn't want any of the 3 so I told her to get the duck egg (which nobody chose, obviously), so that we can try it.

I didn't like it. The egg was too raw and too jelat although the mushrooms at the bottom were nice.


Mine: Chose scallops coz I figured I already had foie gras that day (oh these people really spoil me).

Two freaking AWESOME scallops. Best I've ever had!! I don't know how they made just normal scallops sooooooo nice!!!

And a slab of the tender-est braised pork EVER. Oh, so delicious!!


What a terrible disappointment. The fish was overdone and I dunno what I expect of duck confit but in my impression it was crispy?

This was just a mushy slab of dunno what. Sorry I didn't clarify. The brown thin slice is the duck confit. -_-

And the two hash brown like thingys? Nobody could tell what it was. I guess that's the salsify. It tastes like white radish/turnip.

Oh well at least the appetizer was totally awesome!


Overall though, I'd still say I had an awesome experience!! Must be the company. Thanks for the treat Ming. Mad love!!

I'd leave u guys with 2 toilet photos:



The area around the bowl is CARPETTED!!

Now that's POSH!!! You'd expect the loo to smell like years of pee but it smells fab. I guess rich people don't drip. HAHAHAHA

Woohoo!!

Posting Day 2 up after CNY.




Notice I didn't say anything about Valentine's Day. That's coz I don't like that holiday. Still pissed about the $350/pax shitty meal we had at Equinox last year.

p/s: DPG please let me win loads in gambling last year I won $500 in poker please please please let history repeat itself kthxbye.

Valentine's Day is coming up, and romance is in the air!! What's nicer than to take a long walk with your lover, sharing a chilled drink in the sunshine?

And that drink should be...


Magnolia's Yoghurt Smoothie series also has flavours in Strawberry (with Nata De coco), and Mango (with orange sacs), but the star today is the Mixed Berries!



It's the "My Berry Special Moment" photo contest!!

Taking part is really simple.

All you have to do is to take a photo with your loved one(s) sharing a special moment - and send it in!!

Doesn't necessarily have to be with your lover either. It could be with friends or family too!!

Bonus berry points will be given to people who *ahem* pose with a Magnolia Yoghurt Smoothie Mixed Berries drink... So unless you are a complete idiot you should know what to do lah.



Prizes are awfully attractive.

In fact, I think I stand a pretty good chance of winning and I am half undecided on whether I should write this advert. I mean the less of you participating the more chances I have of winning right? But sigh... See, I'm so nice!!

Winner and a partner gets to win a 3D2N stay at Fraser Resorts in Pattaya, with spa treatment for 2!!

Awesome!

And if you are not the winner, there are still 5 consolation prizes of Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s in PINK!!! That's a Polaroid camera by the way. IN PINK! Comes with a pack of film!! I WANT I WANT!!!


So I roped Mike in and snapped some pictures!!!


Here's 3, help me chose which one is the nicest!!!




LOL I guess the last one is the nicest.

Well enough of the posing (we weren't actually drinking in the photos hahaha), it's time for the taste test!!


Pouring the smoothie... For those of you who have not tried yoghurt drinks before because you don't like yoghurt that much (I don't), you have to try yoghurt drinks NOW!!

Coz the taste of it is very different from real yoghurt!! Much less sour, less thick, and so nice chilled. :D

I mean it is obviously still a YOGHURT drink so obviously it still does taste a bit like yoghurt lah.



Why choose a yoghurt drink?

For one it has BioLive Cultures in it, whatever that means. Well it does give you a healthier digestive system!

For a drink that tasty, it is shockingly enough FAT-FREE! That's right, 0% fats!

And everyone knows yoghurt contains calcium for strong bones and teeth. :)

Now how nice is that?

Magnolia Yoghurt Smoothie Mixed Berries with Strawberry Bits is available at all supermarkets, 7 Eleven etc, so go get your own to try today, and remember to snap pictures to join the contest!!

You could be the lucky winner of a FREE HOLIDAY!!!

Don't know about you guys, but I always have this problem at home. Whenever I eat meals at home, which is pretty often, I always feel like I want to have a drink to go with it.

Not plain water coz it's not as nice, but packet/can drinks always runs out so fast (not to mention damn heavy to lug home from stores), and they are real unhealthy!!

Since my meals are already usually healthy, I'm always on the lookout for a drink that is LIGHT, REFRESHING, and even better if it has health benefits too!

It really irks me sour drinks sold are mostly very strong tasting, like iced lemon tea (too sweet usually) or lime juice (too sour, not light enough).

AND I TRIED FRUITY LITE!!! (link)

Since it's already a best seller in Watsons, I think some of you might have heard about it before.


Fruity Lite is a healthy, refreshing plum-like all natural digestive drink specially manufactured through advanced scientific methods from high grade hawthorn fruit.



Never heard of it? Neither have I.

But this magical fruit can help digestion, reduce lipid levels in the body, reduce bad breath and improve blood circulation! It also exhibits potent antioxidant properties.



I really love this drink because it tastes awesome and is so easy to make!

Its flavour is kinda like plum but it is very mild and only very slightly sweet.

Really thirst-quenching too.

The best time to drink it is after an oily, heavy meal, because it really helps cleanse your palette and dispel the oily feeling! After drinking it I realised it makes me feel a lot less bloated.

Plus, it leaves your breath smelling nice!! :D Don't ask me how the hawthorn fruit does it, I don't know. Maybe it's just magical.


As for easy to make, here's how to do it:



A great healthy alternative to soft drinks! Fruity Lite even helps relieve constipation!!!










Awesome.

Get your Fruity Lite today at any Watsons and other supermarkets... It's so cheap, really a must-try!

Went to KFC that day... This is the story of what happened:





Hungry yet??

Yes, KFC NOW OFFERS EGG TARTS!!!

It's gonna be a long-term item in their menu and these Portuguese egg tarts with a famous recipe is baked FRESH inhouse so that you can savour the tarts' goodness all piping hot and melty!

It is surprising how well the reception went... Everyone who tasted it that day totally fell in love with it! Afterall, what's there not to like?

The puff pastry is savoury, crispy and buttery, and the egg custard is exactly how it looks like - melt in your mouth, spreads like cream on your tongue and not too sweet!

And on top of it, golden caramelised sugar which is slightly crunchy, just like creme brulee!!!!!! It's Chinese Creme Brulee made affordable in a puff pastry!! :D :D :D

Seriously, who would expect KFC, a fried chicken restaurant to do such fantastic egg tarts too?




It is a MUST TRY!!!

The box is specially designed with a heart coz this year's CNY coincides with Valentine's day. Great and easy for bringing to 'bai nian'!!

These delicious egg tarts are available all day at selected KFC restaurants. So you can have it as breakfast, dessert or as a snack! Visit www.kfc.com.sg for full listing. I had my first taste of KFC Egg Tart at HarbourFront!




Certain pics credit to Lewis, with his hugeass pro camera...



p/s: I ate 3 tarts on top of the chicken and fries KFC provided... Almost burst!

Yay me!! I'm going to London for the next 4 days, so I thought, to please you all I'd post up a blog post before I go! (Which is in 3 hours' time, I'm totally not sleeping so I will zonk out on the plane!) Woohoo!

In case you are wondering why I'm flying, it's coz of PROJECT ALPHA!

As quoted, "Project Alpha is Malaysia's first on-line show about real life bloggers, giving you a sneak peek into their lives and what makes them tick!"

So yes, I'm one of the bloggers, and crazily enough, they will be flying me there to film my episode!!


Unless I get free wifi I don't think I'd be posting anything new, so here are some photos in case you forget me!!!





Met up and rising designer Keith Png for the first time... If you remember, he will be designing my wedding gown!! I was really excited and as a bonus I got to also meet Clarence Lee, THE famous make up artist!!

Both of them were so super nice, BFF (she went with me) and I couldn't stop raving afterwards. :D

After asking me about a zillion questions about how I would like my gown to be like and getting me all excited about the soon-to-be tailored dress, I couldn't resist snapping pics. His store is so gorgeous!


Homemade ice lemon tea was offered to us in sick chic goblets. These designers and their immaculate taste!


Rozz invited us to Cupid Jewellery for an event... Loads of camwhoring shots at the end. HAHAHA!


Famous "Eating While Sleeping" pose. So unladylike, all her bits can be seen. But the pink fuzzy foot in the air!! And the tufty tail!! And the paws!! Awwww!



Wanna catch updates on how I do in London during the filming of Project Alpha? You can join the FB page!!

Clicky click:

Just a heads up!! I know some of you have not been able to find the Kao Essential hair mask I posted about some time ago...

Here's the belated Phuket post with 80 photos!!!

Sorry I took so long but there are bikini pics ok, which take a goddamn long time to photoshop!!!

So here goes...

After 1 hr and 20 mins we land in Phuket!!


Searching for our hotel rep among so many other hotel reps with plaques... Quite confusing but we found him in the end!


And we arrive at the resort!! Guests are given a bunch of cold jasmine buds and a refreshing lemongrass drink. :)

I knew our residence suite was, erm, a suite, but I've never stayed in one before like this, EVER!!! So I was totally suaku and was so impressed with it!

We were given a smaller place first because ours was still being cleaned up when we arrived...

The only difference is that this suite's pool is, well, you'd see it later, and our suite is 2 floors with the pool on the top!


If I knew it came with an oven I would have brought stuff to bake! Just kidding, I suck at baking.


A lot of the deck chairs are filled with angmohs... Mike didn't really like that the beach is so 'crowded' (everyone still gets their own space, beach is quite long), but I LOVE IT!!!

I love suntanning but it's always so boring!!!!!

At a beach like this everyone is so HAPPY and smiley and when you can bored, you can ogle at girls in their bikinis, see what they are wearing, gossip about fat people half naked etc!!

And not only that, vendors come along selling drinks/food/ice cream... SHIOK LAH!! Don't need to move at all!!

Overall I'd say the ambiance is awesome!

I was like the only Asian person there though, I swear.


Didn't notice the huge impending rain cloud (I hate you!!!), and it rained like 20 mins after the photos were taken. We proceeded to go have dinner since it was already like 5pm...


Love this photo!! While I was snapping it Mike heard another tourist say "Vain vain vain!" LOL... But according to Mike it wasn't said in a mean tone, just an amused tone. WHAT? I don't regret it lor, it's a fab pic!!


It wasn't very nice and it's quite expensive too. Oh well I don't expect anything more from touristy spots...

After dinner we walked around for a bit more and came back to the hotel to get a massage...


No pictures of the deed but it was soooooooooooo nice!!!

The masseuse came to our room and asked if it's ok to use the rooftop pool's towel-covered deck chairs to do the massage on.

Mike and I were lying next to each other getting pretzel-ed in the weird ways that only happens during a Thai massage... So mad shiok after a tiring day!!

And best of all, the massage was mostly done with us facing up, so I COULD SEE ALL THE STARS!!!!

Can't really describe how nice it is to get a massage while staring into the depths of infinity and marveling at how gorgeous + sparkly the stars are. I'm feeling so wistful now, I wanna go back!!



I ordered just fries but the room service that came really exceeded expectations...

BASKET OF FRESH BREAD and shitloads of dips and sauces!!! Expensive sort too, the cream thing is pate if I'm not wrong!

It was so nice just watching HBO (some Michael J Fox movie, love him!) in the room, clean, snug and comfy in PJs, WHILE NOMMING ON HOT CRISPY FRIES!!

Fuck lah I wanna go back again!!! Urgh!


Thai instant mee and a can of cold Lychee juice... And a Sophie Kinsella book! Top that with sun = INSTANT HAPPY FORMULA.


He took them off after a bit... Very horrible lor but I think we had complete privacy. I took off my top too (not as obscene as him never take off bottom)!! HAHHAHAHAHAH very liberating leh!!


Blasted music from my MP3 player and I was dancing to Hey Mickey in front of Mike, making him laugh. I made him dance too!! Hahaha


Normally I don't like mynas but this one was so happy and was totally unafraid of us!!


Seriously, IT WAS SINGING THROUGHOUT.


I've never seen/heard a bird sing in such close proximity to me and it was like something out of a Disney cartoon lah!!!

Took a video but I'm too lazy to post it now, maybe I'd do it tomorrow.



Came back to the room to find it has been cleaned and the tub is filled with rose petals and a lotus!



Had a nice time just walking along and looking at shops...

Mike said a lot of angmoh ladies were giving me disgusted looks. They must think I'm one of those gold-digging Thai girls who go after farangs!! (ahem cues people to look at couple in photo)

HELLO!!

MIKE IS GOING ON FREE HOLIDAY COZ OF ME!! ME!!!! I AM LITERALLY LIKE SUGAR MUMMY OK!!

*indignant* *grumbles*





Normally we just dust off the black shit that's left on palms after smacking a mozzie but this is crazy distinct!

I can see its eyes, ass, legs, markings etc. Gross!

(I'm awesome at smacking mozzies btw)


Mike taking an "infinity mirrors" pic. He finds it interesting but I find it terribly eerie and creepy. Like if I stare at it I'd be trapped in those mirrors... *shudders*

That night we had dinner with the Andara people... They were crazy nice and treated us to food at Andara's restaurant, SILK.


I have no idea why I didn't snap any shots with them!! I guess coz the Mot from Andara is a mad pro photographer and he was already taking group shots with his Nikon dSLR... I very paiseh to use my childish blinged cam in front of him. :(

And yet more food pics!! Next morning:



A huge thank you to Andara for the hospitality, and for letting us have this great vacation!!!

If you want to enjoy a fab holiday there too, Andara's website is HERE.

The place we stayed at is a residence suite.

The resort is really new so you can be one of the first few to try it out!! It only opened Decemeber 2009!

What's more,




That's right, if you wish to stay there, now is a good time!!




SHIOK!!!

If you wish to find out more, here's the site. :D

Keep in mind the prices are for many rooms within one suite so you can ask your friends/family to go with you!

p/s: I LOVE THAILAND!!

I just twittered that I hate dining at SPG-infested places and someone replied me on twitter, Why, aren't you one yourself?

Oh, so CLEVER! *rolls eyes*

I despise SPGs. And no, I don't think I'm one.

I'm not talking about SPGs in the olden sense (circa 90s), because SPG used to just mean Singaporean (or Asian) girls who just date white guys. Well you can read more here.

I don't find anything wrong with girls who prefer to fuck white guys. Everyone has a preference to what they find attractive. Only if it's a purely superficial thing. Like some people like lean guys, some people like chubby guys. Some like guys with small eyes, or with big biceps. Well people CAN have a preference for race too. That's fine.

No. It's the 'new age' SPGs that I really hate.

These SPGs won't even wear sarongs anymore, you know why? COZ THEY ARE NO LONGER EVEN LOCAL! I won't elaborate on which nationality - anyone with eyes can see.

Whenever Mike and I are at such places, such as pubs in Changi Village, I feel really uncomfortable because I know that on the surface, I look exactly like one of them.

But I sure as hell am NOT! I'm not gold-digging. I'm not fucking slutty. I don't solely date white men, and I never used to be Mike's maid, that's for sure.

How do I know these girls are? Well. I'd wager a hundred bucks most of them are.

SO AS SUCH, I'm hereby writing a Guide to qualifying someone as a SPG. Please tick when relevant.

1) Does not work/earn money by herself. Working as a waitress in a White people bar to get a chance to nab an angmoh does not count. Opening a bar using the guy's money after marrying him also does not count.

2) Comes from a poor third world country/poor family.

3) Solely dates white guys.

4) Has a history of fucking at least 3 white guys before.

5) Age gap of her and white boyfriend is at least 10 years.

6) White boyfriend is older than 40.

7) White boyfriend is ugly.

8) White boyfriend is rich.

9) Used to be his maid.

10) Snatched white boyfriend from his previous family with his ex white wife, most probably with kids.

11) Got to know white boyfriend in a white people pub.

12) Is fugly herself, none of the guys of her race and age would fuck her.

13) Dumb and lazy, but loud and opinionated.

14) Irrationally fond of tiger prints.

If you hit at least 10 of the criteria, congratulations, you are an SPG!!!

(Yeah yeah I know you think I'm number 13. Whatever. I don't care. *waves mensa cert*)


Why do these SPGs and their dumbshit white men irk me so much? It's not like I think I'm better than them.

NO WAIT. I do think I am better. Afterall I'm not using my vagina to get out of a poor chicken-feeding life and sucking some old ugly white dude's cock for his money.

Yeah. So I'm better, and yet I'm constantly labeled as one of them. And I absolutely HATE it when I hear that these white guys are fucking their maids!!!!!!!!!!

MAIDS!!!!! MAD HATE!

I mean wtf man! You come to Singapore to work doing an honest living or to seduce men?? And it's difficult for single men to get maids (I think), so worse, most of these men are MARRIED!!

AND THEY LEAVE THEIR WIVES FOR THESE SLUTS!!

Good lord it just makes me so pissed off.

I know I'm being very contradicting here because I despise these girls and I hate it that on the surface I look like one of them, and yet here I am judging how they are like by how they look like on the surface.

BUT WHATEVER LAH!

You see some slutty 20 year old Asian chick with a 50 year old angmoh, WHAT WILL YOU THINK? You think it's true love? Sorry but I believe she is a homewrecker! And sorry you look like your shitty stereotypes!

What the FUCK are these dumbshits doing in Singapore anyway??

The angmoh is not Singaporean, the slut is also not Singaporean, can't they bring their fornication to their fucking respective countries and stop tainting our land!! It is crowded enough as it is! URGH!

And why, the single SG girls and guys are not good enough for them is it?? MUST FIND WEIRD NATIONALITIES TO FUCK IN SINGAPORE?

Gross shit.

Can't stand it.

Don't give me that "you are racist" bullshit. I'm not anti any race, I'm anti home-wreckers. I'm also anti Cheena sluts (that's my race btw, Chinese) who fuck married SG men, but they are not SPGs and I'm not compared to them so I'd leave them for another entry. Actually, I've wrote about them loads before!! LOL

Mike always says he doesn't understand why I'm so riled up when I'm put in a social situation with these people. I told him,

"How would you feel if you were dating a 50 year old rich lady, but you are rich yourself, and you are not with her for her money (never used her money, dated her since she was poor) but for true love... And yet, this lady constantly brings you to social events where all her taitai friends are dating useless toyboys your age, and you look like one of them, and everyone says you are a just a toyboy too??"


Well, rant over. Gonna watch telly with my age/looks compatible fiance now.


p/s: Feel free to leave comments regarding stories of how you heard these SPGs (esp of the domestic helper variety) broke up people's families. I love getting all riled up.

p/p/s: Not sure if I wrote something like this before but recently my memory is damn bad. I feel like I'm complained about this before. Not the guide though, the guide is awesome!

Happy happy happy! After lugging around an utterly hideous berry (9700 bold 2) for a few days, my pink keyboard from truesupplier.com finally arrived!!!

Mike changed it for me with the help of this video, and it already looks so much better omg.

Next day, I brought it to Gmask to cover the rest of the phone with a pink mask, and TADAH!! PINKBERRY!!


So I set out to bling it, starting with the back cover:


I don't understand this... If there is one thing a camera can never capture well, it's bling!!

The colours always look so inaccurate with flash and without, it's always not as shiny as it looks in real life!

I guess to really get how it looks like you need video coz different gems sparkle when moved and that's the beauty of it!

From the less than complimentary comments I read from yesterday's POTM photos, I gather that this sort of design is not gonna be generally taken positively.

Cluttered, messy, etc... IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY!

The way I normally bling is the USA way of doing it with neat lines (see crystalicing.com if you don't believe me) but the Japanese style (google image 'deco-den') is to cramp as much nonsense on the phone as possible!

For this phone I wanted something EVEN MORE KUA ZHANG than the 'normal' blinged phones so I tried something new. AND I LOVE IT!!


The design is supposed to be this way: Ribbon, with 4 ribbon tails trailing down to the big teardrop, the "X", the small teardrop, and the heart diamante!


Well it's a bit confusing but 2 ribbon tails are made of the diamante chains and 2 made of pearl hearts. :)


The ribbon is actually made of plain pink plastic but I blinged it too! I bought it at the shop next to Monfae. LOL if you read my advert u will know where that is!


You may or may not (personally I cannot understand why not) like it, but you can't deny it's attention grabbing as hell! :D :D :D

Loves!!

(Die die also will blog about Phuket tomorrow)


p/s: When I asked Mike if the pink keyboard is pretty after he just changed it for me (with the rest of the phone black), he said it looks funny, like a serious businessman in a suit and all, but wearing a pink feather hat.

Now the whole phone is blinged... It's a serious businessman potonged and transformed into a full gaudy tranny!! LOL

My poor guinea pig who is literally scarred for life is Mike from Numbnuts!! Must watch!!

p/s: Small snippet about tattoos: I just found out Mike (my Mike) has a tattoo!! He poked himself in the knee with a pencil when he is very young and the lead was trapped inside his skin. LOL it looks like a 2mm blue (dunno why blue) dot!


Watch me do incredible stunts like, erm, stabbing an apple in midair! I'm pretty good as it turns out LOL




.... And a contortionist, who doesn't seem to be sitting in a socially acceptable position. Honestly man, you don't shine your asshole to the world like that.
