Chinese New Year

Its the time of the year again where we collect ang baos...but for me, its probably the 4th year in a row that I've stop receiving Ang Baos and having reunion dinner with my family. In fact, Chinese New Year does not hold much significant meaning to me.Sad right?

I gotta go and do my studying for the exams so I can't write too much. So to sum up what I did for CNY, we went for dinner with everyone, Sampson,david,fai,Alex,nick's siblings,eva and her bf. thats about it.more later

Great summer of love

By love, I don't mean love between a man and a woman. Its more like love for everything... For me, summer feels like everything comes out of its gloom and into the bloom(more like spring maybe), the smell of freshly sun-dried laundry, human contacts feel less intimidating because of the absence of thick layer of coats and jackets. Everything feels so warm and pleasant. Of course, on some days, the heat can be really annoying that makes you want to pull your hair out but I still prefer it to the cold hard winter. Maybe because I like longer day and shorter nights, I feel that I can do more and it just feels like I have more time compared to winter.

The only thing I miss in Melbourne is probably the beach, I miss going to the beach and on hot days in Melbourne, going to the beach is probably as good as going to Sahara, its just too hot. And during winter, no one will think of going to the beach. Maybe its just me, I don't know. So back to summer of love...we always hear things like finding your summer love, having a summer fling, taking a summer break...all associated with love and romance. I don't know where it came from but accordingly, summer increase your libido, creates more chemical in your brain and makes you feel more sexual. Strangly, it doesn't work for me...on the contrary, I feel too sweaty to have sex, too occupied with things which I don't do during winter, too indulge in too many tubs of Ben and Jerry that sex is like the last thing on my mind.hehe...perhaps the heat melts away the guilt of ice-cream, it just feels like pure heaven sitting in the lounge with a tub of Ben & Jerry while watching OC.

More shopping and irony of beauty

I did tons of shopping lately, just to make sure I didn't miss out on any good bargains, ended up buying more than I really need. Nevertheless, everything I've bought so far are pretty good deals that got slashed down by a lot.
I wanted to take pictures of my accomplishments but just couldn't be arsed to. LOL. And whenever I remember, my cam's not available. The blurish pics that I can take with my half-fug 2.0 mega pixels Panasonic digi is probably as good as not taking... So again can't be arsed.
I've been using the 'Ass' word a lot lately, even my boyfriend's getting really pissed off with my vulgarities...Shit, I better not make it a habit. (etiquette, etiquette...I've been hearing this word a lot lately, probably influenced by the "Princess or aristocratic lady" movement, suddenly, even last year's trashy Paris Hilton's covering up these days)It seems like a cool and 'IT' thing to be...A LADY these days. Last year's Lady Marmalade is finally realised there is a thing called 'skirt' that is used for covering the lower half of your body.

These are all my fave Australia labels, especially Alannah Hill . This brought back to the discussion on the 'LADY' movement. the LA fashion these days has been pretty much dominated by haute couture, the 50s feminity, vintage and antique look. I was looking at Alannah Hill website the other day and I'm like totally inspired by her. Alannah Hill is this Tasmania small town girl who grew up in a impoverished milk bar, she came to Melbourne at the age of 17 with 2 suitcases and $70 of which $30 was spent on cab fare to the city. She was then offered a job in one of the boutiques on Chapel Street and worked for 10 over years before starting her own label. She's currently living with her son with no mention of husband/boyfriend/partner whatsoever.

I'm not sure why but it seems like most successful designers usually are single or love troubles seems to strike them like a trade-off for vanity. Creating vanity is probably a sin that God forbids more than those who indulge in beauty. It like the drug seller is definitely more sinful than the drug users (not exactly the kind of comparison people will approve on but anyway...)I guess most successful designers and artists have really extraordinary kind of lives, Coco Chanel
spent time as a ward of the state after her mother died and her father ran off. She left a seamstress job the nuns had helped her get to try for a career as a cabaret singer. This stint as a performer let her experience the Moulin culture, a impoverished beauty with exquisite looks and a shrewd mind needless to say rose quickly on the social ladder — led her to take up with the local swells and become the backup mistress of Etienne Balsan, a playboy who financed her move to Paris and the opening of her first hat business. That arrangement gave way to a bigger and better deal when she moved on to his friend, Arthur ("Boy") Capel, who is said to have been the love of her life and who backed her expansion from hats to clothes.

It's an irony how women who turn to vanity in hope of becoming more beautiful so as to get men find themselves end up with no men because those men got intimidated/insecure when a woman becomes a beauty.


Anyway, the money I spent on random sales items can buy me a LV bag...but not the one that I want though





(*"ー"*) So expensive!!

価格212,000円 (税込222,600円)





But compared to the joy of picking up lots of good bargain and shopping/dating with my darling, I'd rather choose the former.hehe...


He bought a new computer.
Lots of new clothes and Ikea stuffs( Darling I lurve you cos most of them are for me(〃＾▽＾〃)) and we're getting a new car next week!!



God I lurveeee summer holidays!!!

Dreamz and Reality

I can't believe how fast my holidays is going...in another 2 weeks, I'll be having my examinations and i'll be left with only 1 unit left for my next semester. I'm still thinking whether to stay and apply for a PR or go home...boring stuffs.

Last weekend, Shereen came to melbourne. We went for some Italian paste on Lygon followed by Seasons at boulevard next to crown. We thought it was going to be super boring cos' no one wanted to go. So anyway, we went and guess who we saw? Yosuke's friend, James. Apparently, he was here on some work thing and James's work friend whose name is Jeremy as well. Funny,not just his name is alike, their physique and face look pretty much similar to me too. So anyway, in this kind of situation, two single soul from Sydney came to Melbourne for the weekends and found themselves standing next to a stunning stewardess who is Yosuke's gf's friend, what do you think will happen? Duh!?Of course 'kao' her lah! I swear that James was so groping her the whole night, she had to run to the bathroom all the time just to 'siam' him.haha. but luckily, we managed to take both of them home and no one's 'hurt' that night, Thank god!

Shereen is my ex poly classmate, we gotten closer during our attachment in the last year, come to think about it, it was pretty good fun, and funny in a way that almost all the girls who got posted there were all the pretty ones from BEM(not including myself). There was Pamela, Shereen, Janice, and some other girls. That's the thing about meeting ex school mates...there's always a sense of nostalgia, relieving all the sweet and bitter memories...that was the last school that I attended in Singapore. I can't imagine how it would be like to meet secondary school mates...The weirdness of meeting someone that u were once close to, shared all you intimate secrets, you infaturation on the guy-next-class, discussion about ambitions, what it is going to be like in the next 10 years....Fast-forward 8 years now...There you are...Far from your 'I want to be a adventurer' dream and slogging away in a 9-6 job in your tiny cubicle...The biggest adventure you can ever get is that pretending to be SARS infected so that you can get 2weeks off.haha. that's mean! Dreamz, I wonder how many have actually stick to their heart and actually succeeded....

My dream, you would like to ask? Live in ancient Rome, live the life of a Roman warrior and elope with the princess. We will elope to a new country, say egypt. I will open a restaurant, sell roman sweets, my princess will be tending the registry, I'll be cooking and inventing new pastry always... 2years on, my princess wife give birth to our first born...I'll name him Alexander.lol. I think I'm getting my history mixed up...it was Alexander who visited eygpt..to be cont' .....maybe?

Start of another week..No,wait,Assignment due!!!shit!!!

It's the start of another boring week...I can't believe how lazy I've been lately...So what did I do last week...absolutely nothing...Yosuke and I went to Antiken's birthday in Y2K (It's a karaoke btw) on Thursday. I met up with the gang twice last week as Yosuke has been really busy with his shoot. We barely talk this week and it's been really frustrating for me...guess I really have to learn how to deal with loneliness. (　┰_┰)

Having lots of random thoughts these days... things like cycle of life, ageing, death, how pointless is that...I don't know why but these days i just keep hearing people talk about finding job, buying a house, getting married...I'm like : "What's the hurry? Why is everyone rushing to do all these adult stuffs..." . Maybe I'm the one who's not mature...I mean at the age of 24, I'm sure everyone's thinking of doing sth constructive, and working towards their goal. But I'm just not ready. I find that this post is really quite meaningless...

Brand New Year!

Pink!Yes!Pink's my fave colour...love everything pink!pink clothes, pink bag, pink shoes, pink nails,pink sheets, pink everything....I was contemplating whether to get the pink panasonic phone or the LG U880. Being a 3 customer, I got the LG one. This phone is so awesome!has all the functions that I need (given that I am not really tech-savvy), the best part of it is its PINK!



Isn't it sweet!?


Melbourne 's having sales everywhere at the moment. I heard from the locals here that they're usually having massive sales this time of the year... but I can't really find anything that caught my eyes or anything that is in my size...or things that I like are not having much of a sale...$20 off the normal price is nothing compared to the summer/winter bargain sales in Japan or the Great Singapore Sales back home. Nevertheless, I still managed to snap up some really cheap camis from Decjuba at $10 each!I bought 3!!hehe... Decjuba has some really sweet dresses, similar to Alannah Hill but at a more affordable price.




Bettina Liano's having some sales as well, not much though...I got this faded ace-cut jeans for $150 (RRP $225). I guess its still pretty worth it.



I have got a pair of indigo ace and I swear that it is one of the best pair of jeans I've ever bought, the cut and color's so awesome, it goes with everything. No wonder, there are so many celebs seeking them. Skinny legs has been around for quite some time now...I reckon next season might be something different. speaking of which, I haven't been reading the mags lately...I don't know why, but I just wont get hook on Aussie mags...absolutely can't beat Japanese mags like VIVI,JJ, and Cam Cam. so much for now...Happy New Year! Best wishes for this year girls!!
