OMG i haven't blogged in a long time!
negligence of this blog is due to Twitter.
you know what I should do? post twitter on my blog so when you read my blog essentially you're reading my twitter.
besides fast twittering (via sms/ twitsg ) i have a character limit which keeps my twits short and sweet.
and and and its my hourly newspaper with Breaking News. thats how i found out about MJ's death at 4 in the morning.
R.I.P MJ
and i also found out not long ago that: Danish health officials confirm one case of H1N1 swine flu which is resistant to Tamiflu, first known case.
which made my last status : WE ARE ALL GOING DOWN THANKS TO SWINESSSSSSSSS!about 2 hours ago

you think you would say put your honey before your money, honey.
but really, its easier said than done.
not going through with a sale option because it will cause your other half to feel unhappy.
but by not going through with the sale it makes you unhappy and doubt yourself.
sigh... maybe that's why i'm not crazy over marraiges. besides the gown and the fancy dressing up.
this is all deeper than it seems.

Just Wondering: Which Designer?Here's a hypothetical question for you lot...
Let's say your closet exploded leaving you with absolutely nothing. Zero. Nil. Zilch. None. No clothes, no bags and definitely no shoes
.
Which designer or fashion house would you pick to dress you up for LIFE?
You're only allowed to pick one. I repeat, just one. I mean it. Just one house for clothes, bags, hats, shoes, the whole lot.
Tell me. I want to know.
taken from: Bryanboy.
so, which will it be?
It definately looks like a close fight between Hermes Yves Saint Laurent (Homme).
tell me tell me what your pick would be! no seroiusly tag or tell me in person or something!

PCD concert was nothing short of amazing.
its like i met them in person, coz we were so upclose. right behind the barricade. the closest any audience member could get.
but this is possible thanks to shairah, jannah and dian, who were damn HXC queued up from 2.30 to be thrid in the row.
anyways, seeing them in real life made me happy. i mean come on, you know i'm not that huge a fan. i love 'em but not really HXC. but still, seeing them made me ecstatic coz everytime i realised i was seeing huge stars upclose and personal, i always think of their humble beginnings. like how they were nobody to begin with. now, they're like... THE pussycat dolls.
it made me really understand... "when i grow up, i wna be famous i wna be a star i wna be in movies. be careful what you wish for coz you just might get it, coz you just might get it."
sigh, they touched my life more then they ever will know. coz its not like they will read my blog. unless they google themselves. In which case: PUSSYCAT DOLLS/ THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS/ PCD/ DOLL DOMINATION/ SINGAPORE
And Nicole winked at me. even dana said so! :DDDDDDD i think what prompted that was my hearfelt appreciation claps. tee hee.

BAZAAR BAZAAR BAZAAR!
this weekend has kinda been a blur, thanks to (no seriously) club 21.
HIKED to the flyer on friday after school to meet my mom for the club 21 bazaar sale. tired as fuck i pushed on and walked out with 2 items, a crisp white shirt, and a fitting mid-night blue blazer that i might very well have paid full price for it.
wanted to go again on saturday morning, but i couldnt wake up! I was supposed to meet zee them all at 9 so that we could walk there by like 9.30, but i couldnt wake up till about 4! ughhhhh gave up trying to find pants for my new blazer.
BUT BUT BUT! not all hope is lost, headed down again this morning at an unearthly hour for shopping at like 9am and reached there at like 9.30. waited till 10 and was the first few in! :DD
calculated and bought 2 pairs of pants within my budget (i brought cash to shorten the waiting time for queueing but at 11 am, what queue?
after gng home i had to go back again coz they didn't untag my pants with the security device. -.-
teehee mummy brought out her big-ish guns out tdy!

you say that we're different in values, ethics and morals. but you compared me to you regarding the clubbing issue- that i want to lead a scene life like what i think you want (values) and me being just as judgemental as you (values/ morals).
so... you are saying that we're different ONLY in values, ethics and morals, but you compare the similarity of the both of us based on these factors too.
Right, so... irony much?
anyways, you are so swamped with work, but somehow managed to talk about an issue that's really not an issue for 2 hours. and what i thought was the icing was that once we solved the issue, that you were just going to go on as usual, it was silence for like 20 mins while you were tyoing furiously away to god knows who on skype. sigh... coincidence again sial.
being bitchy well... you are a lil bitchy to me. but i just said that you are judgemental. and you said i am too. and that i taught you how to pass snide remarks and talk back.
BUT SNIDE REMARKS ARE BEING BITCHY, NOT JUDGEMENTAL. as concluded in the previous post. that i've moved on from being so judgemental. that maybe you should too. but if you don't wanna, by all means.
though you go on to say "i never thought i was bitchy".
i didn't either. i never said you were bitchy to begin with!
i said you were judgemental.
you said i taught you snide remarks etc.
i said snide remarks aren't being judgemental, its being bitchy. so what you said is like totally irrelevant.
hence what i "taught" you, was how to be bitchy, but now i'm talking about you being judgemental. geddit.
and glad you admit that you're judgemental. go on, say i have no right coz "you're judgemental too, no?"
well, you say the one about your father causing you to be judgemental is a joke.
"I think I know why i'm judgemental"
"why?"
"cause of my dad. DAMN JUDGEMENTAL. He see this car with a lame bumper sticker, then he go on a 10min rant abt how stupid the driver must be."
anyone who thinks this vaugely sounds like a non-laughter-inducing joke or a joke of any nature, please stand up, please stand up.
and and and, i can't be sure of anything nowadays. for all you know tmr when i open your blog its all a joke again. hahahahaha! (jokes are supposed to be funny mah)
the GRAND. :D

as much as i think that blog wars are so last season, i can't help but retaliate because i obviously can't let such a huge matter rest like that.
before i say anything, i must share an observation i made. you repeat twice that we are so different blah blah blah, yet, you compare me to you and how i want to do the things you do and how i act the way you do. ironic much?
now on the indebted message. you claim that you mean it wholeheartedly as a joke. yet when i replied:
"oh no you didn't. are you freaking kidding me. you honestly tell me you did not just say that."
Yet i never got a reply from you. coincidence? you know what would be the cherry on top of this? you saying you didn't recieve the message. but i sent it and i can show you coz iphone doesnt allow deleating single messages.
point number 3. i dont think that calling only 3 times the last week for something you need is wrong. if it has been like that since the start. when there's a CHANGE (i'm coing to that soon) suddenly, you can't blame me for finding a reason right? besides, your also said that you will call and chat. but err... not recently?
like see sharon and joanna. i basically dont really talk to them unless we're going to meet up or whatever. and i'm okay with it coz its been like that all along.
CHANGE is such a catalyst. you talk about no matter how judgemental you are, i am too and better still, i taught you everything. BUT BUT BUT, i won't exactly consider snide remarks and witty comments being judgemental. that's just being bitchy. and yes, i've had my fair share of being bitchy.
even if i DID teach you all of that -*rolls eyes* - "we've changed" and maybe i've moved on from that. shouldnt you? besides, ironically you just told me a few days ago that you discovered the reason behind your judgemental self is because of your father. again, i have proof so dont say i'm shooting my mouth off.
now see, your situation with your new friends is a lil hard to explain. you are technically not a scene kid yet ( how many ppl know you only pls) but you go out drinking and get so drunk you bathed in your puke. granted it may have been a one time thing, but if it's any indication of what's to come then gg loh.
so ya, scene might not be rightfully used on you, but maybe you get my drift?

"cause i dont want to be indebted to you."
I just need you, whoever is reading this now, to think hard. think if you have a close friend (or at least what i thought was a close friend. HA) who will say these words to you?
indebted:
| 2. | obligated for favors or kindness received: He was indebted to her for nursing him through pneumonia. |
its so... dissapointing.
especially using such a pungent word to descibe something so mild.
this is how the conversation went:
"This is sad, I'm alone. At this lame ass event taking peeks. THE THINGS I DO FOR MONEY."
"What event and with my camera?"
"Yes. Your cam and some anti smoking event. I assume you want me to pay you cause i'm using your cam."
"Why you nvr ask me to take"
"Cause I don't want to be indebted to you."
like seriously, wtf?
first and foremost you borrowed my camera ONE week ago to take an event for school. I never asked for it back because I didn't need it till tdy for Ibis and Dana's thing but i figured whatever.
and you never offered to return it to me despite letting it sit around your house. I loaned you the thing, not gave it to you.
and you then took it again for another spin around town.
fine.
and since you have had your new posse, you only called me thrice in the last... week? all three times only because you needed something from me. Saturday, my camera. Wednesday, my advice. Thursday, my laptop.
indebted? who's counting, right?
I alway thought to myself that i'm friends with this person and i do whatever favours or stuff is because i know if i were in his position, he would help me too. isnt that what friends do?
guess not huh.
because apparently he cant be "indebted" to me. (his words, not mine)
besides the fact its so stressful and tiring being his friend, facing judgement every meeting, listening to him rant about this boring girl with "alot of armpit hair" (get over it, seriously) and having to give in most of the time, its fucking irritating how he gives in to everyone of his coursemates and friends of one year and not me. its annoying how he fucking annoys me to my wits end with him being his true self, not that plastic you see in his course.
he calls it special treatment, but although i have friends tht i'm just as close to, or known even longer, you're the only person to have such a thing. coincidence much?
so this time, i really call it quits. for real.
call me immature, childish, retarded, there are some lines you just cannot cross. and boy did you fly past that line as fast as usain bolt running past the finish line.
spread and wings and fly, and go be that scene kid you always wanted to be.

Happy Mother's Day Mummy!
i watched oprah tht day and this psychic-ish guy said that we children pick the parents we want before we are born.
damn, i did a great job at picking a mother. (my dad will have to wait till father's day... lol)
its all about good karma too, me having a mom like tht, and her having a son like me? LOL SHE SAY ONE OKAY.
this year's Costume Institute's MET ball theme was "Model as the Muse." and to me, my mom is the model and the muse.
thanks for everything, the inspiration, the presperation and letting me doll you up.

for this lame ass module i have to take, Basics of Entreprenuership (?) i'm supposed to come up with a business venture to hypothetically invest in and start it up fo real.
with much apprehension i didnt know if bringing in an already established shop would count as a business venture. but my teacher gave the green light with the phrase "can make money can already."
top 3 choices:
- Open a Goyard flagship store in Singapore
- Open a Crepe House
- Open a travel agency
decided to go with top choice of Goyard since i like labels more then food and travel ( i think. LOL)
and now, maybe i'm getting a lil too serious (read: carried away) with this little project. coz now, i just really want to materialize this business venture after i finish my research at the end of this semester.
guess its not such a lame module after all. :)
read what this writer had to say about Goyard against the fore-running Louis Vuitton in this article.

"different people, different piorities."
whatever, from now on you can just win all the time.
anyways, its friday, the last day of school for the week. but yet i still feel dissatisfied.
I want to escape all in 3 weeks but with piling assignments i think that's going to be damn hard.
My CDS teacher said that during the great depression in the 1930s, people took inspiration for fashion from movies, hence dubbing the decade as "Hollywood Glamour".
and why excatly were movie costumes recreated in real life? because people would escape from reality of the crashing stock market and bury themselves in the fantasy of moving pictures. and once that experience is over, they tried to prolong it by duplicating what they saw on the big screen.
i guess that sounds all familiar and relevant now, just... in a different context.
i don't want to go to school.

No wait, I think this is equally depressing.
I tried to see if there were tickets left for the Audi Fashion Festival in Singapore and chanced upon the website which sells their tickets!
Only to be greeted with this:
In a phrase I was like WTF?! why is the Gareth Pugh show, the MBMJ show, the Vivienne Westwood show, the Ashley Isham show sold out but not the Christian Lacroix show?!
dejected that its virtually impossible to buy tickets to the westwood, MBMJ, pugh and isham show, i tried my luck with the Lacroix one. Duh.
tee hee now i know why the fucking lacroix show is the only fucking show not fucking sold out.
it fucking costs fucking FOUR-fucking-HUNDRED dollars to get in!
ZOMGGGGGGWTFBBQTYVMKTHXBAI.
sigh... if only I had four hundred bucks as in investment... to Lacroix that is.
and so sad Junya Wantanabe not coming. why is Junya not coming?!
!@#$%^&*
right. shall try to upload highlights of the recently concluded (and too short if you ask me) trip as a cherry on top of this annoying long post that i have not done in a long time.
At Bath Spa.
Other 2 F's
Famous Ave Champ-Elysees!
Mothership of all Louis Vuittons On Ave Champs-Elysees.
Best damn macaroons from Laduree. They have like distinct green paper bags which are instanly recognisable, like Tiffany's, but green.
Outside the Mothership of all Hermes' on Rue Faubourg St-Honore
"damage, damage, I thought that I should let you know... Baby come on fix it fix it fix it"
Musee D'orsay
The impressionist painting of Claude Monet's wife on her death bed. One of my Mom's fav artists.
Inside the Musee D'orsay, which used to be a Metro Station. Then converted into a museum.
Icon of Paris, The Eiffel Tower
Cherry Blossoms in Paris, on Champs-Elysees.
