lets talk bout fashion and random pin-pointing

before i go into my topic du jour, i'd just wanna tell all that my new lappie rox! haha, colors are so real and i am so enjoying every mnute at home with this gorgeous baby of mine.

ok, anway, i wan adedicate this post to fashion, yes. that's right. I wanna talk bout how some people have great fashion sense and taste (i.e. the shameless me) and how some others have well...let's just say they are Fresh Off the Boat (a.k.a. FOB), a great term to refer to certain gp of ppl here which a great frien miss Michaela had taught me the term.


So, i have this FOB couple in my monday strategy class and this FOB gal actually wore this atrocious outfit the other day in class. I cannot hep but just had to play papz and snap this while she was walking out of the class:



i was kind enugh to circle her so that you can pay her your utterly undevoted attention. Look at the dress which is bleah and so ultra communist (hint hint at her country of origin)with bright shocking all over the place prints, it really reminded me of a ultre cheap version of a zara/H&M/topshop rip off of Missoni collection - from the 80's.

As if a rip off is not bad enough, it actualy looks like a rip off from anothe rand that does rip offs. shudders. Oh, and may i divert you attention to her shoes, more accurately boots, or rather to be precise, KNEE high boots. Yes. KNEE HIGH. IN SINGAPORE! KNEE HIGH IN SINGAPORE WITH A RIP OFF FROO RIP OFF DRESS!


She must have suffered some brain damages to her fashion nerves while on the boat to our lovely shores.


And now, lets proceed to the good stuff! My bddy Karin got me a birthday gift, and since I was perpetually busy like forever, I only got to meet her after a lng hiatus yesterday for lunch and look!



I love the Tee to death cos I for sure, know this joke! Ha! I am so gonna wear this soon, oh, maybe tomorrow? haha... Thanks Karin! I love the Tee to death!


Now, to another event that was stressful: In my Tuesday equities clas, the roff cold call ppl to do up some problems and guess what? Yes! My group was that lucky! So in the end only KS went to the board to do up the problem ans since I cannot leave him to die there alone, I tag along and decided to be the flower vase with the caculator besides him to help him punch in the numbers and give him the answer. Man, only till then did I realised that Vanna White had such a stressful job! I the end, I cannot help but had to capture KS's baby on the board to show all (ok, plus I am runnng out of party photos cos I am broke and thus staying at home lately)

familiarising myself

yes i am trying to make myself familiar with my new laptop: from the bigger keyboard where i kept pressing the home key instead of the backspace key, thus making my continue my sentence from the start of the sentence to the new ms vista plaform which ust seem to ake everything slower. even my 2 gig ram cannot seem to speed up this demon! but then, the colors from my new screen is wonderfully rich and vivid and watching my tv shows on it are full of pleasures!

i am also in love with the fun mode on vista call wondows switcher, just look at how cool it is!

Still craving for steam fish

So, the steam fish Mum and I had for our birthdays 2 weeks+ ago was so fantastic that we decided to go for dinner tonight at Lei Gardens again. This time round, I tried their fins in superior stock (78 bucks for the bowl below) and found it below that of Crystal Jade Grand Palace (not those express outlets that targets the *cough* poorer people, though i dine there too, haha) but above that of Min Jiang (somehow, alot of places are above Min Jiang, i realised)



Since we also had the steamed fish last time and this time agian, i though I'll spare all of you the torture of yet another fish photo and took a photo of the Stir Fried Hong Kong Kai Lan with Prawns instead (31 bucks) :


Then, Mum loved the stewed baby ribs to death that she just had to order again and I took a closer photo of it :


Another great dinner at the ever friendly Lei Gardens, we so gotta try their Dim Sum soon.

a new baby is born

hi all, i have a major majpr annpuncement to make! I have a new baby! haha, no! not another prized bag or shoes to aadd to my collection, but rather, i have gotten myself a new laptop! Yes,despite spilling coffee over my fujitsu and it refusing to die, i still decided to i need to move on to get myself a new lappie with a bigger sceen to replace my desktop which has been collecting dust circa 2000.

S, after weeks of extensive research and budgetting, i decided to get a heavier laptop from Vaio but with spaectacular colors and resolution so that i can finally indulge in my CSI and Ugly Betty BTs.

Well, i have not taken any photos of my baby, but you can visit here to ogle at the amazing designs of it!

un beso

haha...yes yes...it was meeting up with my Chilean BSM buddies tonight, but poor Uvy had bad tummy problems after dinner of comidas de Mexicanos that she had to leave early; to think that she was the one that wanted to get wasted tonight...bleah! so happened that this was the forst time we all met ever since Sam (now a PR honcho at local IT club Zouk) came back from a 1 year stint in Japan teaching English and me back from Vienna, and JR and IVY back from a term overseas in Rouen, France and Jonkopong, Sweden respectively! Man! These are my ultra get hiogh drinking buddies; a trait we realised and shared from Latin America!

so anyway, sin ivy, JR, Samantha and i decided that 10+ pm to call a night is way too early and we diceded to check out Lunar; a Mandarin pop oriented place newly opened at Clarke Quay. Funny thing: two ang mohs were there and i bet they have the same confused feelings as us when we ventured into a underground trace club in Buenos Aires 2 years back (where almost everyone were hgigh on drugs; trance is so not for me and sam and JR, thoguh ivy professes her love for it though...go figure)

Ok, noe Lunar was ok, i mean the first band had a very pretty gal who knew how to work her hips by constant sashaying to get the horny guys in the audience excited with her whiny voice but the other 2 members are so forgettable. The second band with a rejected Project Superstar (Singapore's own Mandarin pop version of American Idol) was good and Sam got heaving with a rather cute guy singing from the band. But really, Lunar is kindda sucky. Period









Then JR decided to head home at miodnight but Sam and I used the guilt trip on him to make him go to Dragonfly at Saint James Powerhouse with us; man! it was a worthy tri pthere cos that place is packed! On a Tuesday some more! The band was really great, and Sam opened a bottle of Chivas and we all enjoyed purselves there ( which happened to be the 1 year annivesary of St. James Just look at our smiles at Dragonfly; ain't us so much more happier there?!











Oh, as I was saying, it's Dragonfly's 1 yr anniversary so they put up a really great and cheesy performance! JR got some shots...ultra farnie!

the lovely smell from them

i love strawberries; in fact, i can survive on strawberries and any berries all day long for 3 days straight. Ok, i know 3 days can't really prove my love for these berries, but hey, try that and if you still have normal intestinal activities then i take my hats off you.

Ok, anyway, on de rigour grocery shopping trip to carrefour with my mum yesterday, i picked up 3 lovely punnets of these lovely australian strawrberries, despite theyu all looked a lil bit mal-nourished and awfully tiny - chihuahua strawberries anyone? Nonetheless, they are still delightful!

me and my (boy)friend

haha, well, in case all of you reading this thinks that I am finally out of the closet, NO! haha...i am very comfortable inside my closet so i have no intention of doing that or anything remotely close to the outside of my comfy closet.

Today, after celebrating my strategy professor's birthday at Ice Cold Beer in campus (and i do mmean celebrate by going there and getting free beer), Elise, Huiling, I and Kenneth (now you know where the title of this blog entry comes from) headed down to Holland Village for dinner and desserts at Marmalade Pantry. I wanted to head to Holland V cos there's apparently a new dessert bar call 2am but after 30 min of walking around, I still cannot see it. Well, after a search on google, i can be sure that it is indeed there in Holland V but we just cannot find it. Darn.

Anyway, I played Kenneth's gay boyfriend tonight and provided countless moments of fun and joy to Elise and Huiling...haha...oh, and the desserts at marmalade was good, nothing uber fantastico; just mas o menos mis amigos.

I also showed the gals my new 'itsy bitsy spider' dance on kenneth with my fingers...hahaha...


Elise had the brownie, Kenneth had the sticky date pie and I had a lemon tart (like me, a tart...haha)


Elise and Huiling with disastrious white wine from marmalade pantry, no wonder it was 1-for-1


Oh, and while I was with the pal, I got a call from UPS saying that my education books are delivered to my place (Mum;s fearing it is some weirdo decided not to open the door at night) and I quickly called mum to accept the box...Man, turns out it is my CFA textbooks; all 6 of them! And I only registered 2 days ago! Ain't they fast?

belated elated gals

my dear ole' fren lauren was so sweet and got me a lovely pressie and i am glad it came late than never! She got me an espirit polo tee:



She of course, jazz up the gift with a very lovely birthday note address to someone very special (i.e. me):



After BP class today, my project mates consisting of Lauren, Andrea, Michaela, and Sara even treated me to coffee and cakes at gloria jeans at raffles city! They are such a sweet bunch of gals! And very funny too, may i add. I am so glad that I am making so many more new friends in my last year of school. Somehow, i realised that friends made in year 1 and 4 are the special ones. Ok and a couple from my year 2 days...of course.

These gals even sprinkled lotsa colored rice candies on the plate to jazz up the cakes! haha...so sweet of them! The cheesecake was lovely and the chocolate cake was ok, but the presence of these friends more than made up for the blandness of the choco cake!


Andrea and Sara:


Michaela, me and Lauren (I tilted more to lauren's side cos i so do not want michaela's bf to come punch me if i lean towards her! haha)

sing sang sung

despite a sunday, nothing in this world just seemed to make a bunch of ole' pals down and keep them satisfied with juat a dinner. So, to the ktv we all went where, despite 2 ladies needing to wokr regular (harrowing) hours on weekdays, we sing, sang and sung and tore the whole place down till 1+am.

Ok, so, not all are free on a monday, and especially miss stewardess who just touched down this morning after a night stop in manila, and a nus student who has no lessons on monday,
an ntu student who is on MC from chicken pox recovery (at this age still?!), and me, the one with a noon lesson with dear strat proff.

Noneteless, lotsa fun despit some having problems keeping ahead with the fast tracks and feeling sleepy...
