weather woes

omg we re in the middle of the biggest heatwave in a century
5 consecutive days of 40 degree plus weather

i m melting
EVERYTHING is MELTING

even my cosmetics are melting
SK 2 hydrogel masks?
useless pieces of paper now.
i can even feel my laptop melting as i type

hell, even the water in my pool is evaporating at the speed of light

air conditioning has been running 24/7

HOTHOTHOTHOTHOT


i ve found my perfect gentleman
roger federer is swiss, cute, funny, sporty and debonair
extremely gracious
and modest

HELLO
TIME MAGAZINE SHOULD TOTALLY NAME HIM MAN OF THE YEAR!
(sorry george clooney, i m a fickle fickle lover)
after watching him beat roddick in the AO semi final
i think i may finally have developed a REALTRUEONCEINALIFETIME crush

and he owns a cow
be still my beating heart

dr stacey and p.burrow said they were 'reasonably happy' with me today
its like a standing ovation from anyone else

hehe
i m all :)))))))



please god let me be skinny minny

cny cny cny

had a really good CNY dinner
nice to just sit down and catch up with friends after a long hectic week at uni.

feels like i have an impacted gut from all that food
but seriously, Happy Cook has the best duck EVER.
so worth it :)

ripped these pictures off ashley
who with his super pro camera looks like paparazzi
hhehe
the photos are so clear!
methinks i need a change of camera



love this picture



vanessa looks like rumi no?



was running late so excuse the no make up and pyjama style dressing, lol



duck! you have to ring up and order beforehand. we had the camphor tea smoked duck, peking duck, and jasmine tea duck. between seven people it was plenty, but sooo friggin good we keep going back



the hand made mantou thingys

so how was your cny?
this year of the ox should equal new beginnings for me
and sticking to my new years' resolutions

if nothing at least i should have tenacity

haha



ive managed to lay my hot little hands
on the Nicola Finetti shoes i ve lusted over since i saw his 08 collection

Nicola Finetti reminds me so much of high school
where every second girl was thinking of/buying/wearing a NF dress for the formal
i think his designs have become much better since then
or maybe i ve just changed my tastes



TA DAH!
i can so picture wearing these with my new leather pants and a man's white shirt
or a little mod shift dress with white stockings

love the little hole in the heel too, its understated
but still cool
:)

less exciting, but i also picked up these Micheal Kors Jessie flats

for roadtrips and whats left of beach weather!
love cobalt for summer days



i love it when i can goggle my new purchases and find their images
saves me having to take photos of them and then upload


images are from nicolafinetti.com (axecessory) and www.shoes.com

:D

why yes dahling the oscars was incredibly fun
george was an amazing date
though ryan seacrest was most annoying

very well dearest i ll be sure to hook you up with brad pitt for next year
ta ta for now

urgh

feel like rapunzel trapped in her tower
watched over by some evil demon guard from hell
and the only way out is a painful scalping

seriously
wtf.

urgh feel so jibbed
had the rudest shock while watching TV today
(btw it was The Jackal that was showing and i lovelovelove evil bruce willis)
my lovely phone which i imported from singapore
cause i thought it was exclusive and all

is now being sold at freakin optus on the $49/month plan
and being advertised in silver and pink

HOW BAD IS THAT
this phone cause me $800 plus in singapore
and pink was sold out

omg
i m going to drown myself now in a technological abyss of despair
thank you very much.
i should just get a vertu
if i had a spare $20,000 or so hanging around
urgh


okay cause lee, you asked what i bought
(hehe)
i ll share some things i bought during my shopping spree yesterday

i m really not a louboutin girl, i saw some on the rack
but somehow my heart was stolen by these



they re my cinderella glass slippers
except not glass
and Marc Jacobs
hehe

and these Pucci shoes
fell in love with the wedge heel and i just couldnt leave without them



couldnt resist this silver and white netted dress from Calvin Klein
looks better on, promise.
isnt it funny how Calvin Klein is soooo much better than Calvin Klein Jeans?
i swear its almost a completely different label
not like Hugo Boss and Boss Orange
they re both pretty decent

yay, i get to christen my new shoes at tomorrow's chinese new year party
gong xi fa cai all!
:)

another overhaul

am in a little bit of love with the aesthetic of balenciaga pre fall 09
a little bit andro, a little bit quirky
a little bit downtown cool
-nods

so inspired, in fact, that seeing as i m in the middle of a wardrobe overhaul,
i m putting all pastels and girlie dresses in storage till further notice.
its like i have style schizo, my wardrobe changes 6 times a year in time with the fashion calender

sorry DVF!
you know i still love you, but being barraged by images of collections from balmain, rodarte, balenciaga and y-3 has played around with my head a little

:)



now this is how you style a pair of drop crotch pants
loves it!



sigh. perfection.



so fierce. and check out the bag!

methinks i need a heart to heart talk with my mom about sharing her Bill Blass leather jacket come winter

having tried this style lately has been fun
but i ve realised the look only really works with heels

as a fellow hallus vagus (all right all right BUNION) sufferer
i will pay for this dedication in a few years time wont i?

I JUST TURNED 20
20
i ve only been wearing heels for what, 5 years?
GOD WHY ME

i hate bunions.

zzzzzz

no offense apple lovers
but i hate the iphone

its too big and awkward with horrible sms-ing capability.
only the games are good, but seriously, who has time to play games on their mobile?
(snake is an exception though, it was the original and therefore, is untouchable.)

the iphone was a waste of my money
and unfortunately, as my best friends will attest, i m too technologically inapt to deal with a blackberry

but now, daddy just bought me the perfect phone
meet my new baby!

with way too many technological functions for me to understand,
it can make calls, is tiny (i detest big phones), has a camera with a flash, and therefore is great.
hehe
i m a simple girl




bought crystals in singapore
and i m going crazy blinging up my creative zen

i love bling
its so hideousy tacky but super fun at the same time
like dolce and gabbana sunnies
i cant resist.


okay this is random, but i think L and i are very meant to be
our dads knew each other from secondary school
we were in the same class in kindergarden
and same primary/sec school
and BFFs since primary 4

this means we ve been linked since what, we were 4?
very fated no?

and now we both been inked together
tattoo-love?

foodies

i m missing singapore food!

was looking through my photos, and decided to share some

i miss Forlino at one Fullerton
it was such a good night out. 8.5/10 :D
the place had everything i like in my restaurants
good food, view, wine list and of course
stellar company
hehe
service in melbourne is better though.

as lee so rightly pointed out
french food is very hit and miss,
so we went for italian instead.
good decision lee!

piedmonte veal ravioli and some really good muscato wine, unfortunately i forgot the vintage

lee with amuse bouche, clare with the beef carpaccio, and i had the home cured meat platter

lee's really good green pasta. what was it again, pesto?

chocolate and hazelnut mousse with mascarpone cheese. clare and lee had their panna cotta. as usual. :D

Clare is wearing hervelvetvase grey satin work pants, white top (m)phosis?), Chanel and Gucci necklaces, and carrying a Loewe bag. Lee is wearing a CK top (i think?), hot sparkly Superfine jeans, Louboutins and a navy Chanel 2.55.
awww. stylish BFFs no?

there was an accident with my shirt. i washed them with colored clothes, and it is now what my dad proclaims as a 'dead rat' colour.

wow. thanks.

i miss!



lunched at Mimolette, which was near Bukit Timah Saddle club
didnt like the food. 2/10?
clare's scones were like hard powdery stones
and my sausage tasted like Deb mush.
yeeuch.

though lee liked her crepes du jour






dont know any good german restaurants in Melbourne
but Brotzeit near Raffles city in Singapore is not bad at all
6/10



huge 1 litre beer mugs with with one of my favourites, Paulaner Hefe-Weizen. super sweet and crisp!



and awesome goulash


of course, how can i not proclaim to the heavens
what i ve eaten almost every weekday
since i was 7, right through till 15?



AHHHHHHHH
SUPER HEART MY SNGS FOOD

i need to tighten my belt and start saving $ because no matter what the government says
(dare i say it)
we are soooo in a recession
and saving $ is always a good thing

but i think eating out is something i cant ever give up
to be honest, i can live with that

:)

okay gotta go pick my mom up from the airport.
grumble

stupid spoilt friends with their chauffers
and their shanghai trips

-bitter

awesome holiday, too much to talk about
but now i m back in melbourne, back to the daily grind

hommmmmmmmmmmesssicccccccckkkkkkk

melbourne welcomed me back with a parking fine
(only 60 bucks but still)
and this morning, my car wouldnt start
sigh

really dont like this period of adjustment, i just want to hide at home and mope for a few days

on the bright side, i do prefer australian shopping
:)
