Thank You..

Other than being sick, and trying very hard to recover, i've just been busy being sick.
What am i talking about..

The Day after..

I want to be selfless. I do.
But its not all that easy.

I dont like it when my parents give my things away without my permission.
They assume too much.
Year after year.
The same shit repeats.
Just ask man! Ask!

They know they are wrong, but you won't hear the S word.

I get defensive and selfish when my personal space's intruded.
I don't know why, but i don't like to think of it as being insecure either.

Enough of shit the day after my birthday..

I am 23.

And ION opens

I am sick.

Day 1: woke up with sore throat. went to get some work done at office till 10pm. Thank God Maril took good care of me by feeding me regularly.

Day 2: sore throat better but down with flu bug. Weak. Sister took over my tuition.

Day 3: which is today. nose is kinda running but otherwise i am so much better. Just feel like sleeping a lot.

Went ION to window shop after class at Laines. I love the way they group the boutiques. I think B2 was like all the young adult brands. Easy to shop basically. Dunkin Donuts! Surprised to see it at B2. Crazy long queue as usual.

Which got my love for TOPSHOP rekindled. The trench, the coat, the low back, the bodycon, the leather, the denim, the Union Jack, the frills, the lace..pretty much 'the trend' this season.

Giggles and baby bear suits make rainbows jealous.

Intl global finance house

Nomura leads the Japanese securities market.

9am's the interview. Wish me luck.

I never prepare for interviews.
But somehow luck is always on my side.
I have a lot in stored for the last quarter of the year.
My operation, expand business, Korea/Bangkok/UK trip..
So if i'm chosen, I have to commit for 6 months.
What will happen to the "plans" i wonder.

Means less time for myself and everything..then creamy might start getting annoyed at my never ending workload.

I better go sleep.
Have to look fresh for tomorrow.

Alice in Wonderland

OMG tres pretty.
I hope Pamela will bring me back a pair when she visits BKK tmr!! (:
Else some cheap tomyam maggi mee will be good too.

Safe trip darling!

Momentary Bliss

Cycled till my thighs almost gave way.
ECP is so frikkin lengthyyyyy :(
I certainly hope that the 21% body fats decreased after the 2 hours session with Melly.

--

Couldn't resist the coat, stockings and Marc B bag from ASOS.

Realized i'm super anal about washing my hand with detergent AND getting new pieces for whatever item i am buying..

Everyone loves differently..

Project Runway S5 is awesome!

I saw so many beautiful pieces, got really excited manufacturing my own line (:
My bodycon piece is coming soon..hehe.

Felt really accomplished this evening.
Completed a layout at class, 3 tags for customer and a draft wedding CD card for client.
Life is treating me rather kind.
Can't wait to take stocks for this weekend's collection.
I'm so excited to work with Komui again.
And of course private movie event (Harry Potter) at shaw this saturday with lil' sis (:

I was feeling effing disappointed when i realized that i overpaid $22.50 for a wallet i wasn't expecting.

Agnes B is supposedly cheaper in Hong Kong.

After all the efforts to get the right wallet in the right size. It was still the wrong wallet AND i paid more for it.

It's the cheated feeling.
I know its only $22.50 but hey, still money ok.
Why throw money away like that!

I'm not blaming my friend.
It's not his fault.
Just irritated with the entire situation.
Like bad luck or something.
Haha.

--

Best part of the day after feeling like a piece of shit was that i got paid $20 for a 10mins survey. So i guess God heard my cries and decided to lessen my pain a little (:

Melly -> aint it pwetty!! (: and my dress from f21..my entire wardrobe this season is from f21! O_o

Buy me a SMEG

So pwetty!! (:
I will have one in my kitchen next time.

Learn to pause..
or nothing worthwhile
will catch to you.

I need to bear that in mind.
Sorry i pissed myself off..which i turned pissed you off..then it pissed me off knowing i pissed you off. Args.

Singapore Turf City

Welcome to money land..where u see alot of ah peks and rich, well-dressed people..


All the ah peks of coffeeshop gathering.


My view from the lounge..


Gold Card, for Jockey's Guest.
Professor Alan Ng hosting my virgin trip to STC, with 6 star treatment :b


Teaching us how to use the punter's guide. The codes, age of horses, whether they are gelded..origins, placing in past races, their grade, which jockey is good..etc.. I don't understand a shit. Its overwhelming!!



With my cousins and sister at the "red carpet"..horse owners etc..big shots..policemen..media.. all there..


Thousands of spectators..we had the chance to go up to Owner's lounge. But the atmosphere outdoor was a trillion times better!!

The guide book..cheem..



Weighing themselves after the race..

Winner gets to be interviewed by media..



Parade Square, only for VIPs. Hehe. Very happy to be treated like queens that day. Seems like my cousin is a big shot there..winning race after race.


Any Humour has done me proud by winning Race 8. Victory!!


Doing our homework before the next race starts..

Bet $12 for race 9 (final race of the evening). And i won $41. Best guess, beginners luck (:
Up to the point when i submitted my bets, i had to ask the counter lady to explain what was i betting on. Hah.

Not encouraging you to gamble.
Must always play responsibly.
Really enjoyed the evening out with my cousins, eye-opener, almost felt like i had 1000 bottles of 100 plus in me. Adrenaline rush to the max when you call out for your horse!!

Flea-tique

Sales was better than expected. Almost a thousand dollars after only 7 hours of sale.

Woman helped me out a great deal. The crowd won't be manageable alone, according to the response from my other flea events.

Thank you baby sis for coming with me and Sheryldine for dropping by! And of course all other customers who didn't manage to find my booth because there was no sign! Must remain low profile :b

Floral Mashup

Lovely.
Wanna shop BUT i've already exceeded my budget this month :(

Goodbye MJ

Paris' eulogy so heartbreaking :'(

Crazy crazy day. I need to sleep.
Finished this album in 3 hours. I'm getting more efficient.
But will need to come up with a new layout soon..this is starting to bore me.

Make it a better place..

Melly -> you're so busy with school! :(

Faith's Commencement: Class of 2009

Lunch with Sheryldine at Canele.
Think both of us nearly died eating the cream based Smoked Salmon entree.
Shopping at Agnes B and LV.
The neon pink vernis wallet is tres pretty!! But $1180 is way out of budget.
So thankful Yu Sheng is getting the wallet for me at HK. Agnes B a bit more affordable right now.

Why am i into pink!!
I surely hope its the seasonal thing.







Congratulations Faith!

We're all so proud of you (:

Long day for me tmr -

10am-1pm : art workshop
1-3pm : post office trip and art materials shopping
3-4pm : BofA
6-8pm : complete order
9pm : Coffee date with Pamela

Open Door Concept

Just need to rant.

This crazy customer caps-locked her entire email, hurling nasty words at me. Next moment, she's like all smiley and nice. WTF. It affects my mood ok. I humble myself for all you crazy shoppers out there. Putting up with the nonsense. Yes i get the money, i earned it ok. It doesn't fall down from the sky. So if you think $20+ for accessories or apparels is expensive, get out. How perfect you expect it to be? Do not mistake these tonal qualities as flaws.

Then this extra crazy boyfriend emailed me saying he wont hesitate to make a report if i dont refund her girlfriend immediately. You think i care? If i dont see a clear photo of the ATM receipt, order won't be processed. Much less a refund. How many $26 transactions are reflected on my statement daily. ALOT OK. How else to prove that its your transaction. Don't ask me to call the bank. They dont reveal such details. He thinks that i am 3 months into this business. Its 3 years ok, get the figure right. Or. Fuck off mr boyfriend. Just dont. Don't ever threaten me. I hate it.

--

I know i am very aggressive.
I'm not like that a couple of years back.
I think the external factors caused the change.
I don't exactly like the "me" now.
So i'm just going to pray very very hard and try to be a better person.

Sigh.

Turf City

Alan cousin was featured on papers again.

Alot of jockey vocabulary. My English is so terrible i couldn't really understand.

Well, he basically won 2 races after being suspended for 3 months. He's that good huh!

He's inviting me to watch a race this coming Friday. Since he won't be racing. Another 3 day suspension i think.

Maybe i should place a bet..and hope to win!! :b
