Underwater

Magic Underwater

you know you're on facebook too often when u thought clicking on the current browsed picture will bring you to the next posted pic (in FLICKR). hur hur. stumbled on Javiy's underwater (picked 3 of my personal favourites above) shots - intrigued.

Asian Geographic’s new competition, Asia Without Borders, is open for entry from now till September 30, 2009. four categories available, specifically aimed to obtain images of asia’s people, landscapes and wildlife. you can even follow their blog to learn more about getting the right shot or read their articles as they add content over the coming month. shoo shoo..go shoot.

Leica M8 and M8.2

(get over my being wierd will u?) + go watch 100 Touching Photo Expressing Loneliness and Solitude in awe + catching up with zach and family bring back feelings all warm and fuzzy + anticipating my diving trip in Redang around june and Manado in aug (not forgetting Lin's wedding in Bali 30th Oct and prolly HKG and NYC too. P/S : not getting close to OD-ing from my ridiculous amount of getaways - because i know i deserve it.) + the sweet lil thing just got sweeter by the day *smiles* + i need to shoot because i need to shoot.

REAL Gender Studies.

2009-05-14T10:25:00.002+08:00

forget gender studies. Women should start reading Sammyboy and Men should start reading Cozycot. enlightening, real and pretty scary.

the bitchiness, materialism and superficiality that goes on in one. t lechery, general disrespect for women and superficiality that goes on in the other. makes me wonder why aren’t more people alone. because do we really need them yucky awful beings? ew.

maybe anonymity filters out the dreg in people. where are the cream of the crop.

M & M.

2009-05-05T00:21:00.000+08:00

blame it on pms. feelings overpouring on the way home, and while i have a my earpiece plugged in, a certain song made the journey home a tad more emotional than usual. i stopped to admire such pretty sight, while i felt the weight on my shoulders. its haunting me.

one who doesnt stay manogamous..are they really leopards who doesnt change its spots?

while i have faced with too many similar situations, i concluded that the option is long gone for me to trust men. either they earn it, or leave it, that i am not the optimist risk taker anymore (may i add that i am still hopeful for the trustworthy one to appear and as i always say, men who comes with plesant suprises - always a keeper), but time i is all i have for them, and for their benefit, please do not try to impress, and do not even try ur lil tricks.

im bored. its the same stories over and over again. men and manogamy, never quite go together, or do they? skip the new chapters already, its new books and new genres this time.

Supia Dolls.

2009-04-26T00:29:00.000+08:00

second doll looks so ethereal that it’s hard to keep my eyes off her. but She’s one of the Supia Dolls, A-List Dolls that make normal dolls look like The Muppets and Blythe Dolls look like dog shit. and that’s an insult to the dogs.

2009-04-22T09:34:00.000+08:00

Never mistake kindness for weakness. Never take advantage of another person’s time or good will. Never stoop to conquer. Never think you’ll get away with it. Never forget where you came from. Never give up.

Random Day with Qing Ai De

2009-04-20T20:58:00.006+08:00

wakeboard sunday and i was snap happy. hung out with that qingaide and we were amazed by how much alike we are. learning about another is always interesting. (P/S : qingaide is not my bf). like kids we dared each other to dip walk (imagine us bend ur knees as make every step), all the way to cineleisure to get movie tix, and becos both of us did it throughout (yes with people staring and laughing along the way, i am game enough to not care how people look at us), non of us got a free movie and dinner after. damn i should win this.

to sum it up, it was a very good day.

wakeboard/kinokuniya (bought a book from Ian Jeffery about reading famous photographs)/coffee club express (topic of new muse)/movies (17 again was quite funny)/pastamania (i dun undertand why i still go after the 2635th time i complained it sucks, see how easy i am with food)/sat under cineleisure(i got to know a secret)/random suggestion to walk along orchard road/sat at some random building and chatted throughout the night (all oh so random)

random series of events, and not so random coincindence on many similarities we shared. i found my new buddy and have him added on my list.

Old Postin Drafts.

2009-04-18T15:26:00.001+08:00

will you look beyond what you can see

peel the layers of my insecurities

dream of me, keep up with me

like kites we flew, but do we see

the sky's been painted

while u admire this absolute beauty

crystals be with me

because you didn't see

it was me who make this pretty

i found this post somewhere in my draft, was written last year soemtime in august, and thought i post it anyway.

Lazy Sunday.

2009-04-13T11:31:00.002+08:00

back from HKG, and didnt really get enough of the theraputic experience. slept through my sunday and had a nice dinner at granny's after. chillaxing and lazed through the night. been ages since i last watched tv, and caught Devil wears Prada plus some Who's Line Is It Anyway, so wasnt productive in anyway, and went to bed feeling bad for wasting my day.

P/S : i do realised that my FB is more exciting than my blog. my aplogies for the lack of updates. thinking about it last night and will post whenever my brian restarts daily.

DIY - Create your own Bokeh

2009-03-27T12:12:00.005+08:00

i like the these Bokeh images. and the best part is you can DIY. although i havent got a clue how can i get the different shaped hole punchers (so its not totally DIY actually. tee hee. still, a good effort right?), or how to land that shape in the middle of the circle, as well as that awful vignette >,<, i think it'll be fun to try it soon.

Read the DIY link here if you're keen too. :)

Happy Friday everyone. *smiles*

"I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet. "

- Charlotte...Lost in Translation‏

2009-01-28T14:52:00.002+08:00

i read about an article about a partner who was caught for contacting his ex secretary although he claimed that there has been nothing between them, just occasional phone calls and lunch and dinner prolly once.

"All my calls and sms to her were insignificant as there were no feelings involved."

"To be frank, I do not have any feelings for my ex-secretary, just that the opportunity is there to have a cheap thrill. All men will do that. On the day my ex-secretary stops responding, I will also stop."

if u ask me, i say its really crap. if it was never intentional, then why keep it a secret? ask yourself if you have never harboured lustful thoughts of that woman. had she invited you to bed, would you have walked away? truly, has she only been a friend in your heart and mind? an emotional affair is not easy to define. if you choose to believe that you have never felt more than friendship, then it’s easier to blame the wife (or partner) for being paranoid and neurotic.

the 101 lame excuses men makes. *eyes rolling*

this article relates to me, because so fortunately, i have recently become a victim for sucha cornered seperation. well, it is fortunate for me, to at least found out before he gets to cheat [with sex], but yet i have only experienced the betrayal of trust, when he went a date while still seeing me. wotever,aven't you heard that sometimes emotions betrayal is more hurtful than physical betrayal?

and what is beyond me, is how they compare themselves with the weaklings around them, like adultery or having any physical contacts with them.

wow. seriously?

wotever man. with those, it DOESN't make u a "better" person and god forbids those who think credits should be given BECAUSE they still have not crossed the line (because there's no sex involved?) YET. to me, you may not have betrayed ur partner physically, but your mind had already done that, pronto.

no lame excuses needed. thank you soooo very much.

oh well, it doesnt matter if my first post of the year started with such angst, becauseit irks me just how ignorant men can get and i here have to get it off my chest since the market is oooh shooo quiet anyway. :P

oh and now, i wish you all a happy chinese new year. may all the bad things come to an end, while the beautiful things decends on ur path. hehe

Asia's Best Young Entrepreneurs 2008

2008-11-25T14:59:00.004+08:00

i'm a lil late to be announcing this, but with since i have my embaressing story to share (yes i lost my mobile twice this year), i thought this business idea caters to those (who are like me), who unvolunteerily cultivated such bad habits to lose their mobile phones too much too often (it was said that i could even loose my head if i had it is screwed on my neck. :P).

i was lucky that for the 2nd time this year, kind hearted souls actually retruned me my mobile. we all know that mobile phones in singapore are like the cheapest gadgets to play with, so its really the contacts in the sim card that is what seems to be more important. yes, i never back up and i will always say i will soon, but it still wont happen anytime soon. :P

and voila! here could just be our saviour.

Darius Cheung, Varun Chatterji, Rishi Israni, Indradeep Biswas
Ages: 27, 28, 26, 25Company: tenCube

"A simple idea goes a long way for these young entrepreneurs in Singapore. When one of their co-founders keep losing his mobile phone, the team got together to find a solution to this familiar problem. tenCube now develops and sells leading mobile-phone security software called WaveSecure. Among other features, WaveSecure allows you to lock your phone remotely, track usage of the device, back up data through the Web, and remotely wipe your private data off the phone even after you lose it. The company boasts high-profile clients such as the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Defense Ministry. The consumer version of WaveSecure proved to be very popular when it was launched in December 2007, the company had 60,000 WaveSecure users within 90 days of its launch; it has since been adopted by leading brands such as Nokia and Telenor to secure their users' mobile devices. The team is made up of graduates of the National University of Singapore."

Seinfield and Friends to keep me company.

2008-11-21T17:46:00.000+08:00

during times of the sleepy lala land while you're trying so hard to keep your eyes open, i was happy to have ulrich who volunteerily keeping me entertained(and very successful indeed!) with dialogues from "Friends" and "Sienfield" (both are my absolute love!!). so if you're a fan yourself, enjoi.

Ross: Guess what happened at work?
Chandler: Um...lets see...a dinosaur DIED a million years ago?!

"Joey: But I-I-I can't stay too long, I gotta get up early for a commercial audition tomorrow and I gotta look good. I'm supposed to be playing a 19-year-old.
[Everyone stops in their tracks upon hearing this]
Chandler: So when you said, "Get up early, " did you mean 1986?"

Ross: Chandler entered a Vanilla Ice look-alike contest and *won*!
Chandler: Ross came fourth and cried!

(monica, phoebe, chadler and joey are stuck in monica's bedroom for the second time and joey pulls out food...magazines and then condoms)
chandler - condoms??
joey - hey. you dont know how long we will be here. WE might have to repopulate the earth!
chandler - and CONDOMS are the way to do that?!?!

[Joey comes out from his room wearing ridiculous clothes. He has to look nineteen for an audition]
Joey: 'Sup? 'Sup, dude?
Chandler: [putting his hands up] Take whatever you want, just please don't hurt me.
Joey: So, you're playing a little Playstation, huh? That's whack. Playstation is whack. 'Sup with the whack Playstation, 'sup? Huh? Come on, am I nineteen or what?
Chandler: Yes, on a scale from one to ten, ten being the dumbest a person can look, you are definitely nineteen

Joey: [to Ross] Forget about Rachel. Go to China, eat Chinese food.
Chandler: Of course there they'd just call it food.'

(lol. i had a good laugh. and of cos, there were some from Sienfield..!!)

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

Men want the same thing from their underwear that they want from women: a little bit of support, and a little bit of freedom.

The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers. "Come on, buddy, let's go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he's got a spoon. Back off. I've got the toe clippers right here."

ROFL.

Jie Jie!

Happy Birthday Jie Jie!!

i wanna get a pretty cake like this too!

awww. toooo pretty to eat!

What do we say about men?

2008-11-17T11:54:00.001+08:00

there are certain things that i do not comprehend, and one of it being how some boys/men think of where they set their bar to be a good boyfriend, or being responsible for their actions ? with this said, we're be damn sure there are scumbags who would love to be in pretense to be ignorant..like, "what did i do wrong?" kinda crap. ya. yadda yadda. *eyes rolling*

being "single" and not necessarily on the uglier category, i do occasionally get male friends (single or attached) who would straight up flirt with me and probably hope for me to reciprocate(i would of cause, stay behind my line, wherever i would like to draw it) at some point. flirting, as known, IS perfectly healthy, for men or women, for one who relies on, to bring/get them sex or the feel good factor, or even to feed their egoistic side(when they know their tricks actually work). but what gets on my nerves are those who proclaim to be such good boyfriends, and within the next minute, start addressing me with sweet names and try and do their (disgusting)thing.

pui.

seriously? did they have brains growing in their arse? or they're just such a plain kookoohead to have not seen how disgusting they look in front of their girlfriends? it is absolutely unfathomable for my part feminist self, and to be oblivious with their irresponsibilities, is just over the top. the only reason that will actually make me have even the slightest reaction to this, is when they think i am either :

1. dumb (like their girlfriends)
2. needy of men or sweet nothings
3. someone who can feed their ego needs (when i flirt back)
4. i actually quite like them as a person!! %*(*$$(#@!(@..

*groans* i seriously want to think there is still hope to a happy relationship. whats wrong with these people?

im done with telling people how they should live their lives and whats right or wrong, or against or beyond justifications. my respect for those will just be reserved for what they're worth and thats just my opinion (which i have learned to not necessarily share with people at just under any circumstances). however, albeit all negativity (some may call it) ;

i still wish all people happily ever after.

2008-11-15T02:38:00.005+08:00

i chanced upon this video some months back when the competition was still on, and i was impressed and in awed with her voice since.

i went on youtube just to hear her again, and this time, i was in shocked by her fans who commented on the clip. whatever went through her mind before, i hope she found peace now. my condolences.

read here for news.

this song that i remembered her of..ironic isn't it.

such a pity.

2nd chances?

2008-11-14T23:25:00.001+08:00

second chances? mmmm.

it occurs to me (totally random really), while there are second chances and people abusing them, why do we entitle some with second chances? or was it really to give ourselves a second chance actually? i think, that second chances can only be deserving for one who didn't expect of it, because, it really is not a chance anymore, but an allowance, like a key, to let them off from the mistake they have made, like repeatedly, and then they have another chance to fuck it up, again. *rolls eyes* how ugly is that? right? and the stupid ones who let these chance abusers off time and again.. happily ever after? well, im not only not hundred percent on it, but prolly not even 50% certain.

mmm.

life without a second chance? i can live my life like this.

not a bad idea at all, if anything, it enforces one to have full grasps of life and make possibilities into reality, because, its either, u work it OR lose it. pronto. to treasure the current and live life to the fullest. love like real and love like there's no tomorrow.

isn't life better this way?

2008-11-01T03:32:00.002+08:00

i am way outta control with ANTM. o.O sitting upright on my bed in bangkok at 3.23am(sin time), going from episode to episode (hokay, only 3, but each epi has 5 parts :P), i neeeda get a life after midnight.

but mmmm.

i'm on a holiday and why all the rules huh. O.o

on a totally unrelated note, hermie and yann will be here tomorrow at 2pm! woo hoo!! was on msn with darl yann on shopping and all that geeeeeeeeeeorgie. muahah. *throws evil winks* (how the hell one throws an evil wink? lol. totally going bonkers [or psyche to the brim]!)

one more day and im back. miss me yet? :)

oooh. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (been receiving "scary" greetings on msn and mucha thanks!)

P/S : now...i know that you know what i did this halloween.

wawawa!

I'm juding me too.

2008-10-21T23:35:00.002+08:00

i am sooooooo excite because bangkok is this coming sunday at 6am (!), and alone i will be flying with new "things" to look forward to. while i sit back and ponder, about what makes one hide, about the things we do, or the decisions we make, what makes us ashamed of who we are, or what we are going to transform into.

what pulls fear outta us when we snapped and changed?

so what if the whole world is judging?

i mean, the truth sometimes can be too much to handle, and when better things are on your side, the last thing you want to hinder you, to become a better person, is how some stupid people make judgment about you of what u have and not who you really are. and they are just prolly jealous that they did not have the courage to even make such a decision. sour grapes?

so.

my barrier. but im still not going all loudspeaker and broadcasting what i am doing that most disapproved of. i dun let the cat of out the bag, but just aint chasing it back it, if you know what i mean.

Who am I?

2008-10-17T00:49:00.003+08:00

everyone has some little secret that would shamed us and all we wonder if this will reveal how sick we (somehow) are.

its almost like an addiction. my obessession about his ex (or all of my ex's ex girlfriends actually). wondering how great and smart and wonderful and blah blah blah she is. to ogle at them is what i think is sick, and the admiration of them is what confuses me.

the thin line between beating her to everything and being the better one.

my self confidence is drifting away. how can i be this lame?

my drive needs a real motivation.

MSN nick reads : Di is unhappy for no reason.

2008-10-13T13:56:00.006+08:00

he says:
unhappy?

Di says: :)

he says: :/

Di says: :)

(and several minutes later.. i thought i should share my thoughts. since he care to ask(at least)..)

Di says:
do u sometimes u just wanna like get out...but now its like ...."get out...get out from where??"

Di says:
i am not the happiest and i dun seem to know what exactly is bothering me

(no response until about 2minutes later..)

he says:
u going to yoga?

(men. unbelivably cutest dumbest thing in our whole wide world. mmm. or maybe they choose to be?)

Di says:
no

the thing about babysteps that people take, are great, really. BUT, when it comes to relationship, we shouldn't expect to be hoorayed all the time, and neither encouraged (not all the time really!), and to me, i'd rather they learn their ropes (first) and show me what' you've got.

impress me.

we women don't say we like surprises for nothing.

New(ed) Desk

2008-10-07T00:43:00.001+08:00

a glimps of my new work desk. yes, i do have that many chat boxes (and sometimes more!) because the whole job scope is about communication of all forms and we just quote, chat, type and calculate!

update : this entry was saved and not posted, and untill now, it's my OLD desk already. oh man. you never know whats gonna happen tomorrow isn't it?

Side Taker.

2008-10-05T16:07:00.001+08:00

.SideTaker.

we all know that in even the best of relationships, disagreements are bound to arise from time to time. For those with no clear resolution, a new site offers a way for each member of a couple to tell their side of the story anonymously and let the crowds decide who's to blame. i thought it was a little absurd, but i could also be quite stubborn over things like alot of women out there, nonetheless, i went and checked it out.

you'll be surprise how many are taking sides (one that i came across had 3 pages of comments!?)

**********

i have been thinking about the who single hood again. like not even seeing him regularly and all. what is wrong with me really. -.-

i should expect to grow old lonely, (still) eccentric, and remorseful (i think?) and knowing i had it coming but im really pretty helpless about why i always wanna get out from seeing anyone naughty or nice after too long a time. why can't i just be like anyone normal and lead my life like any other human being. not that im complaining, but i am confused.

because its not about running away. you do know right?

mmmmm.

“We had a good strategy and all the signs were there that we could get a one-two finish. But things can change in a moment and that's what happened today. At the pit stop, one of the guys made a mistake. But we are only human. Each one of us always tries to do our best and these things can happen.”

-Felipe Massa-

with the right attitude, to me, he is already the winner.

Aches aches and more aches.

2008-09-24T18:50:00.002+08:00

much that i wanted to apologize for the lack of post, i didnt think too much of ramblings are good for my avid readers. not that im implying that i even have anything slightly interesting today, but i thought some words might keep the inpatient ones (you know who you are) at bay.

muahah.

my shoulders and neck ache irks me every single day (or evening, to be more precise). yoga and excersising(cardio and golf) doesn't help. what's wrong with me?

mmmm. maybe i should start with getting ample rest (like clocking sufficient hours of sleep. say 7.5hours?)? hmm. *bites lips*

you see?

sometimes, even after identifying the problem and finding solution, we're still left in agony.

heyo. just do, don't think.

2008-09-23T18:53:00.002+08:00

as i carefully make my steps over a puddle of water along a narrow walkway, with the obvious of not getting wet *eyes rolling*, some ijiot came dashing past me, and got my feet all wet.

he didnt even turn to look.

tamade.

*mutters*

Ah *Mei Tix are here!

2008-09-17T23:26:00.001+08:00

tickets have arrived at my desk. *grinning ear to ear*

and grandprix next week!

omg, but im not even close to being spoilt YET.

sunday with a headache is not fun.

hokay, am off for seinfield. something mindless and lighthearted.

preparing for monday blues? :P

AQUA's FHM Party.

2008-09-13T11:59:00.000+08:00

bahhhhhhhh.

beat from the range today (and it was good fun as usual with audrey and jeremy this time!) and yoga in the early evening before din din and movie (mama mia errrrr, was ok lah).

and there's tennis tomorrow (if the 2nd day of my menses doesn't tired me down too much that is)!

i missed all the babes at the FHM party(and im not sure they even have all the 100 FHM girls there *cries*) last night but it was good to be at the new bar AQUA (to read more of Aqua the new bar at clarke quay, read here.) located at clarke quay, right at the bottem of the bridge.

the bar was nice and cool(albeit the humid whether yester) and has a very open concept. quite different from the usual bars you get along our boat/clarke quays , and i felt like i was on the deck of a yatch when i as standing on the 2nd level with a bar and the DJ console, overlooking the river, and the myriad of parties that was going on this busy buzzy friday night, quite a different experience if i may say, and being quite a non-bar-visitor myself, i was enjoying the view of all the beautiful people at the ground level.

my drinks were kept to a minimum as always, and fun has always been better that way. (pics up soon i hope!)

ta for now.

FearDAR got me.

2008-09-11T23:23:00.000+08:00

i was heading back with my cam and my tripod and on the corner of my eye, i see something following my pace from the side.

i am (seriously!!) still slightly twitching as the thought of it.

what was it?

*screams* it was a freakin roooooooooooooooach..........!

O.O *spasm for 3 seconds while i almost drop my cam!*

but i was at robertson quay and was exuding this cool babe with big cam look, thus, i quickly (*ahems* although my spastic 3 seconds was quite retarded) regain my composure and very calmly taking small quick steps scurrying off with periodic glance at the roach's direction.

i tell u, it's true! crocroaches have "fear-DAR" (like we have radar or gaydar lah!)! i am not the only victim but i gather histories of my fellow anti-roaches-party-gang and we all shared the same tragedy of such!

why??? why us??

why must u make me swear if i have my chance, i will make sure i watch u die before i feel peace and calm. why can't such things never happen to me (like how i never win lottery/toto/4D etc, although i buy like once or twice a year only:P) and leave me in peace with less disgust of ...u???

-.-

still slightly traumatised and i can't shake the image of the follwing roach off my mind.

grrrrrrrrrrr. *faints*

Bill Schwab.

2008-09-10T23:53:00.005+08:00

he quoted Patterns..

". . . And the pattern still remains on the wall where darkness fell,
And it's fitting that it should, for in darkness I must dwell.
Like the color of my skin, or the day that I grow old,
My life is made of patterns that can scarcely be controlled."

..by Simon and Garfunkel, 1965 ..

and it makes everything else more beautiful. :)

i like his work straight away, as i could see what i also had in mind for what i wanted to do, from his series of work, but now i need to find my way out of following his path (because he already did the same project), and the challenge is for me to bring out a different perspectives. nonetheless, his work has been very inspiring.

he said..

“I started out idolizing Ansel Adams and those photographers then grew bored with their work and now I love it and I see fully what they were trying to do. We can’t all go out and take Ansel Adams photographs because we’re not all Ansel Adams. I had to go through all these steps to find my own vision. I’m still finding it- constantly.”

i could not agree more.

Ego and Me.

2008-09-08T13:35:00.000+08:00

time really flies, and its been 9 months into the year of 2008. i hope everyone had a time so far. at least i truly am.

well not the whole of being ecstatic about life per se, or nor i have the best thing come my way at all, but i do believe that hiccups in life are always good challenges in life if you have a positive view about what and how to learn from mistakes. and if not, its not to late to start believing.

as the memories of countless events (the high and low of each) of the year 2008 surfaced, i came to realize that expectations of being appreciated gets to me the most. interesting. because its proves that no matter how little i expect from (every)another, i did not let go of my ego to be appreciated. which reminded me of what i had once came across, when i was reading about meditation and self transformation, that one has to first start to identify your own egos before you can work around how to let that egoistic u go.

i have noticed how i have cut down saying "unless mummy stop doing that". although i am not her best daughter, i am trying to be better every time (and i also know that my progress can't be taking too long :P, i know, really.).

at work, it will be quite a challenge for my ego side to subside, because my boss has always taught me to be an aggressor. nonetheless, i will keep track, pronto.

i have mentioned how that someone has thoughts about me not being "good enough", and this is the easiest to trigger my ego self while i refuse to be secondary. and i came up with this :

i am not holding on just because i think i am the best for u.
but
i am here,
because of you.

ironically, i did not think that you are perfect too.

but now i see how this has been quite beautiful.
we are still here, you and me.

it should only be this simple.

*smiles*

like i said, the progress does not have to be substantial, but we always have to self discover. its been a journey so far so good(very good indeed) for me, and i know the best has always yet to come. baby steps or big steps, its the first step that deserves a pat on the back.

Come Run With Me..

2008-09-05T20:50:00.001+08:00

weekend is here again, and we sit and wonder how superb this weekend can be. golf, high tea, girlies, yoga, sistakinnies i miss weekly, oh i love my family.

whats yours gonna be like?

chillaxing at home - sounds good too with a book and drawing a line with the usual buzz of this lil city? its always nice to do something nice, to make up for the crazy week, so some of u , like me, doesn't go bonkers. for the world can be such a crazy place, and we have no one but ourselves to watch our own backs and our steps ahead while we balance ourselves and make our each day a better one.

if only i can ring your bell and bring back your smile, laughters and a smashing weekend ahead,
come, run with me.

smile for it's friday! :)

Amazon Is To Blame,Really.

2008-09-03T22:17:00.003+08:00

times like this when i thought i was getting more sensible and disciplined..

Amazon destroyed me.

*cries*

well the damage wasn't large to start, but i definitely didn't need 5 books at a go. *growls* i can be such a hopeless bunny (omg, am i destined to be broke? because bunny really doesn't have a pocket! okok.. in case u don't get my lame drift, a bunny does not have pockets like a kangaroo, so that i can keep my wallet? *eyes rolling and rolling*)

can't really cry over the spilled milk now can i? *laughs* so i should anticipate the arrivals of Sophie Kinsella, Candace Bushnell, Emily Giffin and Jen Lancaster! *grins*

muah ha ha.

Bye.

2008-09-02T23:17:00.002+08:00

there are some truth we refused to face. are you guilty to face the reality? i miss my friends but the time will never be waiting to ask what is wrong. we have to move on.

it saddened me to have to walk away from some friends, but i couldn't care more than questioning what have we done wrong? whatever your comfort corner, i wish you are happy, i wish u are well , and i am sorry that i have to free the cage and set us apart.

bye bye my friend. im walking away with all my well wishes.

-.-

Evil Plastics.

2008-08-27T18:26:00.003+08:00

omg.

my credit card bill this month has hit the roof. although part of it is from work, i still need to watch what i sign in future. these damn plastics are lethal. *mutters*

so. im officially $3000++ poorer today.

*wails*

it's time like this, when you wish you're still a baby, under the TLC your parents.. as in, when you wail, you get DA attention and then everything else will be taken care of by them. but then again, as a baby, i would rather cry over milk then money.

i need to earn more money!

Olympics Withdrawal

2008-08-25T00:19:00.000+08:00

i think.

i AM really going to miss coming home to catch the Olympics games. 4 more years to wait. patience is always a virtue and i am sure the anticipation of good things is always rewarding at the end. *smiles*

live opening of the Olympics Games in Beijing, blew the world away. but we all know that no country is perfect(example of that lil girl who wasn't good enough for the camera), thus we should focus more on the sportsmanship and better ourselves for right reasons. nonetheless, all of it was still amazing, the scale, coordination and artistry of it all, it has been the best so far (good job china!). of cos, we should never miss what has been captured by the magic lens, the good work of the amazing photographers, so take a look at Newsweek’s Olympics Picture Blog.

1 silver medal for Singapore!

our table tennis team made us proud. and i think everyone of the Singapore sportsmen and women who participated in the Olympics made us all proud and deserves a big hug and lotsa cheers when they come back. thank you for making it(there) possible, for that opened the once unseen door with platforms that make hopes and dreams come true. and yes, we will definitely do better every time!

Miss the Sun, Sand and Sea.

2008-08-24T04:50:00.004+08:00

once with the sun, sand, sea and me.

where there's only serenity.

i lay and breathe in the energy, so full, and yet it filled with clarity.

come feel the sun with me.

Thanks, but no thanks.

2008-08-22T00:15:00.002+08:00

being *ahems* single.. has one problem. or somehow, some people seem to have a problem with that (people who are single), which inevitably interlink to affect me9unffortunate for me, amusing for them -.-), a *ahems* single (but unavailable regardless! but of cos, they don't care. >.<), because that means it time (whomever gives them the consent? *mutters*) for them to role play as a matchmaker. whao. like doing social work hor, very noble leh.

PUI.

seriously?!

ok. i know where most people are coming from, and its has to be for a good intention. erm. but good intention will only be good when the involved party has given you the "go" signal for your social work or whatsoever. no? i am capable of doing all the works.. making friends on my own, explore and discover on my own, work out my priorities..all the yadda yadda, and i absolutely know what/who/WHEN i am willing to see anyone potential. but i am not going through these procedures even when i am very sociable, i freaking want to be where i am now. leave it will ya.

*eyes rolling*

so.

there's this guy who recently got married, and obviously a (HPM) happy married man (good for u, but being someone who doesn't believe in marriages, i think as "as long as you are happy, be please, by all means, stay married". i don't start going around deciding that i should inspire these millions of oblivious couples to see how being happy and staying connected with your partner surpasses the stupid piece of paper acknowledged by our law and the society right? i have my endless theories and why its unecessary, but thats just me and i respect the "norm", as long as you're happy really), he think he can hook me up with this ELIGIBLE friend of his.

HMP : hey diana, you're single right?

me : (corrected him) happy! *smiles*

HPM : you should meet this friend of mine. single, funny, eligible, and a nice guy really. he works in a bank, but has been single for awhile. he's from sydney, you're ok with seeing a non asian ya?

me : o.O (but i didn't wanna be rude) i have friends who are non asian, if thats what u should ask 1st? *flashes smile* (realized the more im taken aback by him, the more i smile. wtf?)

HPM : oh, thats cool. so that shouldnt be a problem i guess. (and he smiled to himself!! *simi lai?)

me : [trying to think of a way to shoo his idea (bad idea to be exact), i decided to be outright straightforward. might as well *shrugs*] mmmm. sounds great.. if he doesn't ever wants to get married, i guess there will be no harm.

HPM : you don't wanna get married at all?

me : *narrows eyes as i moved closer to him* you know, its better to be honest and lay our terms, i hurt people along the way and ive been miserable. thats why i broke up with my ex, u see? is he a close friend of yours? in case you miss matched and it ruins your friendship. but that just me being cautious. he's cool ya? or you can always pre-warned him first. :)

of cos.

my efforts did NOT work! and he went on to yahoo his friend about this girl (me) whos single, very attractive (he said that! awww. im very flattered man *blushes*. but still not impress with this whole thing lah), smart, nice and adventurous. i wakeboard, and can do a two wake jump, and somehow that makes me score with remarkable points (which im still not excite about! -.-).

*whao lau eh. *slaps forehead*

and i think i have to come up with a list of excuses (like seinfield in one of the epsisodes!), which i started off with school exams ard the corner (ya right. lol), to turn away meeting up and "make friends" when "make love" is what interest me more. whahah. thats more a turn-on then turn-off,.. so yep, am keeping that to myself though.

let's hope my list doesn't have to be to long. pinoccio please make an exception for me.

*prays*

Donuts for lunch.

2008-08-20T23:21:00.002+08:00

i though it had it all under controlled when i ordered my garden green salad for lunch. because im not even a wee bit hungry, but thanks to jon who *jio-ed me for our lomatic lunch *pukes*, i thought we need a break from our beloved SGS boring market today (one could've been all relaxed and in glee to sit and surf the net the whole day while you get paid at a reasonably good amount of money - a paid net surfer? sounds good for almost everyone? but not for me :P), and i could use some advice for my new desk (yes, the end of my SGS agony. and being such a contradict, i am also not the happiest to leave my current desk. -.-).

anyway, my apologies for the drift again.

so?

i happily nibbled on my green vegies and turned my head to see the donut shop that i said to try and have yet to find time to.

you know what happened.. sigh.

20minutes later i had a glazzy and nutty donut displaying for my *tam jiak face while i rant about how my diet has been crashed by these two evil devil twin-look-alike(because they are of a different flavour) .

tragic to my diet, its so unfortunate.. and i feel bad in betrayal to my discipline(D).

*wails*

no sugar for the next 2 days!

Always Tired.

2008-08-16T02:16:00.002+08:00

i read a very meaningful article about life, but this for men from him is quite meaningful, well, at least when married couples who argues a lot ;

when you already win her heart, yo don't have to win every other arguments.

sweet? :)

apologies for the short post since my week has been more disciplined, and also that school has started again. so classes stretching to the weekend can really be #&*($@!%ly boring. on the other hand, i have been able to squeeze in time for yoga during lunch and even did some cardio work out for 30mins on Tuesday.

all is well, but im still tired. should visit my doctor again i suspect i have down with some kinda virus that worns me out every so often. :(

Silly Morning War.

2008-08-12T08:13:00.002+08:00

there's a new minced meat noodle stall that i patronised once but didnt quite like, so i went back to my usual bee hoon and yummy side orders like the luncheon meat, nuggets and cabbages (not all in a plate, but yes, i do have quiet a heavy breakie if ure wondering :P).

the thing is, i actually ordered from the new stall because i thought i don't wanna be biased. i requested for no vinegar, but the bee hoon still didnt quite blend in with the rest, a lil too hard for me to chew too. i took my teh and headed back to office as usual and the new stall's owner's son saw me and came up to me asking for feedback and i genuinely gave my comments.

so.

today i ordered from my usual bee hoon stall and realised i was avoiding eye contact from the other one.

aiyo. i feel bad for nothing. not like it's my fault? this should not be happening to me. i have better things to worry about.

Pleasure for procreation.

2008-08-10T23:13:00.004+08:00

omg. if i am the only few who've been ignorant about this? but it's really good to know!

"Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases the chance of conception. The theory: Oxytocin, a hormone released in peak levels during orgasm, causes uterine contractions that coax sperm toward the egg."

how interesting!! and ive always thought that such orgasms are hard to come by (and i speak for most females that i know!!). whao lau. im sure now it will affect my "high" when i climax at the wrong time? *mutters*

But I Know.

2008-08-08T12:01:00.001+08:00

things that make me happy, my paris, at a glance.

question :
will you stay, even when you know that people don't think you're good enough for them? they smiled, they hide, and still has been very nice and show no despisement regardless. but fate has struck (once again) you with the hurtful truth, and you wonder if there is a reason why you find these ugly words . if its all a sign, what do you do?

i am entirely to be blame because i asked for it. invasion of people's privacy, serve me right.

mmm. which make me ponder when things like this happened, will there be guilt? or can you overcome the whole bad karma?

"Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire"

2008-08-06T23:45:00.004+08:00

"Aspire to Inspire Before You Expire"

-unknown-

my favourite quote for now.

read Carolyn Porter's elaboration on this here.

i concur.

1st day back @ work.

2008-08-05T00:40:00.005+08:00

you know how one returns to work from a holiday, and to repeat (even on a brief note) on how the trip went and share bout your feelings about the whole trip? when there's guilt from what has to be concealed, you kinda dread that, because you have to tally the whole story right, and trust me that its just a white lie that i can't truthfully share with some of the nice peeps at work on where where i actually went. but honestly, so much that i can score from online texas holdem game, on the real deal, my poker face shows it all. pffft. and i hate to cut the small chats shorter just go i can get away (or so i just keep my fingers crossed on it :S). seriously, ain't fun at all.

on a happier note. i finally got my wallet i wanted for so long. *wink* found this blue one in paris, and i just couldn't resist. my 1st bottega venetta. :)

absolutely in looooooooooooove with it! *grins*

Back ?/!/...

2008-08-04T23:34:00.005+08:00

after two transits at Madrid and Paris, and about 10 episodes on Grey's anatomy (with such long flight, i even managed to squeeze in What Happen in Vegas. yes because i rather look at the pretty face like cameron diaz, and yes, pure boredom has got me so bad, and so i really need some brainless movie to get me on my sleeping mode during long flights like this), i finally saw the familiar roads of or lion city. and after all, i am appreciating the efficiencies of our changi airport and how it makes a difference when transiting can be hassle free. seriously, what i experienced can never be more inconvenient and tiring as i even want to bring it up. nuff said.

the first thing that came to my mind- Asian food for dinner. lol. (you wouldn't believe i actually dreamt of random local food the night before i leave Ibiza. hilarious really, kinda like my sub-conscious is reminding me to not forget my roots (?), because, i wasn't missing it obviously. :P)

i suppose one should be recharged after a break, and although i do dread waking up at 630am for work tomorrow, i was missing work while i was away. :)

while i have set my mind to get back to my other work(out), like my yoga routine. lol. am torn between True Yoga and Pure Yoga, which offers relatively similar benefits for me, lets hope im impress with the prices tomorrow.

the sad part about life for me, is not being able to skip sleep, or cheat sleep, because biologically, you can't subtract feeling tired, add energy or divide your souls into two (for one to sleep and the other to work and play). hence, we became incoherent (like this) and self delusioned (like always(?) whaha) , which our mind seems to be drifting while our fingers just do the typing.

ok, SERIOUSLY, its bedtime calling.

ta for now. -.-

Short days, Deep memories.

2008-07-30T23:58:00.000+08:00

it was a mere 2.5days stay in this romantic city (although i haven't a clue what makes this place romantic for most to say?) and i couldn't stretch my neck long enough to see whats substantially required to fully view this beautiful city although i checked the most that i could stretch. no regrets since the utmost important rule is always to have enjoyed your journey and i am one proud bunny who had made my hops worthwhile. :)

am keeping the post short for now. time is 550pm in ibiza and the sun wont set till 8pm or later (interesting for a singaporean like me, since we witness the dawn at about 6ish?) . will blog more when im back. meanwhile let's toast! for the marvelous things in life.

au revoir.

*blows kisses*

Quick update - Ibiza

2008-07-28T00:39:00.003+08:00

hola! here in ibiza, i wonder how the peeps back at home are. which also makes me ponder on the senario if i were to leave the world today, like say, die today, will i be miss? omg, can't believe someone on a holiday would have such morbid thoughts like me. muahha. well, totally random, but it does pops into our heads and grab ur reality doesn't it?

been a lil unwell, with fever, sore throat and now rashes developing on both my arms and chest. but im on a holiday and thrusting all that agony away. *winks* so far, all the shoppa, trotting and random snapping has been good, can't at all say its therapeutic with all the germs in me now but you know what i mean. :)

surprises came along as how uncommon it is to spot an asian here in ibiza, as opposed to the 1 outta 10 we get to see in paris, which of cos, makes me somewhat a superstar, or some call it a lil hot asian chick on this sunny island. the attention wasn't pleasing to me, but i did smirk at those young british boys nudging and drooling when they caught me strutting my thing along the street. lol.

sad thing is that i missed the sunday day party at space *pouts*. but even when all the recovery is not done, there will be sander van doorn, judge jules etc, spinning at eden tonight, so thats a defo and not to be miss. moreover the tix been bought and well, all that sick germs can go rave hell, i am going to prance and dance and be an animal no matter what. check the line up and hear me roar!

A-peeling again.

2008-07-21T17:33:00.000+08:00

*cringes* ouch. bad tummy for days. what was not to be eaten? clueless is me, and confused, since i never had any allergy but recently, my face starts reacting to some shelled seafood, and then upsets me for the longest of 2 weeks when rashes develop, follow by peeling for a week. oh well, at least a visit to the doc has been a great help, turn out my gastric's been part of the culprit too. :P

not feeling my best but i guess the high will come soon when the smell of airport is in the air! :D will bring my lappie along, so will still update when im in paris whenever i can.

stay tuned!

LensBaby

2008-07-18T13:45:00.003+08:00

yay. oce again, new toy for the month.

my very 1st lensbaby!

am very excite even for the 2nd hand purchase from tidbits. tee hee. been warned about the hassle of the adjustments and the steadiness while you shoot, so here i am, all charged and prepared to play with it when i bring it to paris. *winks*

did i mention taht i got it a super good price of $55? *insert evil laughter*

Length Worthy.

2008-07-16T22:27:00.003+08:00

the gals in the office starts putting on their falsies in the morning at their respective desk, and they were still at it after lunch at about 3ish . O.O no joke. (but the girlies at work blame me for it because i started on 'em first. (???)) LOL.

*amused, amazed but not impressed* the extra length but too much extra time? *waves index*

well it explains how a women can sometimes take hours to prepare. me? not proud but am glad that 25mins(+/-) is all i need every morning to be ready, set and go (that includes getting my falsies done too. *flutters* ).

anyhow, i have two brand new boxes($10 for 19.5 pairs) sitting on my desk with mucho thanks to the accessive compulsive impulsive shopping disorder girl who went to order a shit load of things online and re-selling them cheaply when they doesn't suit her after all (her disorder of hers apparently benefits the people around her because we get to buy them at a lower market price or, FREE!). got a 19.5pair in the box after she tried 1 on her eye.

stock count -

Two Weeks Late.

2008-07-15T13:54:00.004+08:00

but it's finally here.

*lets out a sigh of relieve*

late for two weeks, like a heart attack waiting to pop. wtf right?

this is what happen when we don't take necessary precautions.

Quick Weekend Update.

2008-07-14T11:05:00.003+08:00

my poor arms, back and shoulders are aching from wakeboarding yester morning at 845am *smirks*. AM PROUD. *ahems* lol.

lunch was prepared by the lovely french couple for some cheese tasting and YUM! was not enough to describe how good the blue cheese was. *mental note to bug xav for name of the blue cheese* theought of it now was still mouth watering you know. muahah.

mahjong at marcus place was good. won a lil, but we're all there for good fun really. nothing beats cathing up with your girlfriends(and their bfs lol) over a game and random nonsense from everyone. *winks*

i am counting down 7days to paris. u cant see how estatic i am but put yourself in my shoe and u should prolly have a better feel of my "high" of the moment already.

wooooooo!

TGIF!

2008-07-11T16:31:00.002+08:00

TGIF. ^.^

sulker is me when i see peeps in the office snacking alll day long but the bloating only happens to me. why? and my menses is missing but all the pimples are popping? WHY? energy level dipping, motivation bordering, life is mundane and uninteresting.

where have all the spices gone?

at least my weekend has shed some light. :P
1. dragonfly and zouk tonight.
2. saturday - sisterkins lunch/shoppa/tea and coffee and work dinner.
3. sunday - mahjong with the babbbbbbbbbbes. weeee!

and i reckon it will be a fabulous idea to lie in the sun in the morning just before lunch for tomorrow. and and, did i mention that bunny's been good and do light work out everynight? :) so proud of myself.

wellness all around so the spirit can be found. *winks*

Inspiring Massage.

2008-07-08T20:32:00.005+08:00

so im done with all the converting of the whole season 1 of The Wire and will start on Califoniacation by tomorrow! *hyperventilates*

so while i had my massage during lunch today, i felt wave of inspiration, to incorporate my photo project in touch with my holistic side. won't reveal much since the thought process has alot more work to do and lets just hope i can share when the plan is more concrete. *winks*

random question for the day (night actually) :

how much does egoism rules your life?

think bout it. through meditation, one of the initial stages is to identify your egoism and how it affects your thoughts and actions, before any kind of transitions takes place, we always ask who and where we are.

the beginning to rediscover yourself.

should i, would i, could i?

If only self reflect can be done with a mirror, will u squint to face your reality? Or can ignorance be a bliss really?

Some interesting thoughts about the difference between smart people, who assume they value happiness better, but the ignorant ones are generally happier peeps. Me? Miserably stuck inbetween not being the smartest and a having my life learned the hard way.

Now..mirror mirror, will ya at least be my amour? :p

Embrace the Essential You.

2008-07-02T23:57:00.001+08:00

do you know and embrace the essential you? the essential you is the you that entered this world without the learned beliefs and fears that later took hold. everyone has these layers to contend with and peeling them away, like layers of an onion, reveals your essence, which is your soul expressed in physical form. the moments when you are living from the essential you are moments when you are expressing your soul, your inner spirit, in the physical world.

mmm.

if you were to sum up your essence in one sentence, what would you say?

"To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting." ~ E.E. Cummings, Poet

old women NOT.

2008-06-29T09:47:00.004+08:00

gig last night was fun and short, but i managed to do quick catch up with my two favourite people from the entertainment industry in between breaks, but pity we didnt manage to get some nice shots for last night was one of those "fat moments" and peeking the after shot was very demoralising. so, time for my diet soon (i know, its like on going for like, *gulps* forever), and yes, we can never quite be contended. :P

manage to catch some sun yester noon with muse at the pool, and im in hope he is keen for some km8 la'er. *winks* (reminder : get extra PSP battery for flight [Grey's Anatomy!!])

btw, a feeling of weight has been on me again.

mmm. you know when you realised theres nothing exciting in your life now. :(

i remember just last year, my schedules were tight with school, work, activities, short course, gigs, photo projects etc etc, and now i complain that i am living like an old women, who never plan for things and always looking forward to the weekends and holidays to chillaxing and rest. although like now, i can blog/chat with several peeps/shopping online and doing some research or reading on stuffs (super multi tasking), i really think i should get a life outta my comfy cocoon soon.

during the convo yester while i was enjoying my chicken breast with eggs and berries salad (yum leh!) at our ususl breakfast place (our brunch actually), i was running a list of courses and activities that i can take up again. diving is defo on the top of my list, and i would like to explore on my holistic side and see there are any reiki course (mmm. maybe even a massage course!) relevant available, and by end july, will hope to explore on a new photo project and lets see if i gather help and get some things organised. with a million of things in my pea brain, i really hope it does not explode with too many in my basket again, so now i needa plan, prioritize and get connected again.

*clasps hands*

life is great when you have properly plan things ahead.

Spreading good energy.

2008-06-25T10:29:00.005+08:00

been reading alot about Reiki lately. a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. it is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive (being high on "energy", we are more capable of being happy and healthy and vise versa). however, neither the existence of ki nor any mechanism for its manipulation are scientifically accepted, and the evidence base does not support the efficacy of reiki or its recommendation for use in treatment. mmmmm.

well, while i contemplate on the pending decision, i thought its good to share what Reiki teachers and practitioners aim to abide by ;
these five principles, one translation of which is:
"The secret method of inviting good fortune.
The marvelous medicine for all sickness
Just for today:
Do not be angry
Do not worry
Be grateful
Work with integrity
Be kind to others.

every morning and every night, sit in the Gassho position (hands held palm-to-palm. learn more bout the other 5 positions too if you're keen) and speak these words out loud in your heart. while Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. it has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. in fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not, which im quite skeptical about, but nonetheless, its good to know and to spread positive "chi" (even without attending Reiki courses), since it can never be a bad thing really.

gisele bündchen is writhing on the sheets of a bed in one of those airplane-hangar-sized New York City photography studios. now I’m not a huge fan of Gisele’s visage, but she does have one of the most rocking bodies I’ve ever seen (yeah, you prolly have a higher chance catching me oogling at women than a men. that must be a known already if you know me. *winks*)

beware for it's hot hOT HOT.

youtube doesn't have the high res video, so for an ultimate eggsellent viewing pleasure for all my avid readers, please go here.

Happy Rainy Friday.

2008-06-20T15:37:00.003+08:00

last work day of the week and most would've come to work drenched from the pouring rain at rise today. i was smiling and strutting to my usual breakfast place, beautiful rain ain't it?

makes me a happier worker today. =)

lunch was dedicated to my sisterkin because she has a blood clot growing in her overies. all should be well, love is all around. love the love in the family.

*loves hugs loves*

nothing beats a good laugh to end the hectic work day. and i have a date with him tonight.

3 Big-O to a beautiful day.

2008-06-17T09:58:00.005+08:00

while the flu bug has come and gone, bunny has already been too eager to have fun and frolics with every step she makes even before the clock strikes for full recovery. good vibes and the positive energy have indeed been great remedies for recuperation and that thing we call love(?) has never ever been underated and never siezes to amaze most. *winks*

so.

to start off a very beautiful day, 3 orgasms at the early rise today is all we need for one to hop in at work with a not only a happy face, but all that zest to last the day. lol.

mm.
mmm.
mmmm...

well. thats enough for now.

DIY-ing Beach Wears.

2008-06-14T22:29:00.000+08:00

haha. so i found one of my new bikinis that i bought last week (and this is the less yummy one!) and thought i upload here to whet your taste bud abit. keke. i reckon it will look fabulous with my golden tan from ibiza really. although mia insisted i should have a nice tan here and flaunt my good skin colour when we are there. wOooOoOo.. too bad, i couldn't find my other buy which i got, really a delish that piece. grrr.

and im thinking to cut back some cost (ive been splurging even before the trip!) and head down to arab street or even spotlight for some material shopping and DIY something like this (so i can parade around with my cover up and still look fantabulous without baring too much (fats). if we can't afford to pay all the time to look good, im sure we can still walk that extra mile to make it happen. muahha. im even thinking of bling-ing them up! cyrstalize it maybe? mmm. just had an idea to sew some chiffon onto my sequine belts as skirts. omg i can be such a genius sometimes. :P. well see! *taps finger on chin pouting*

muse came up to me today and said "4 more weeks to go!", its 6weeks to go to be exact, but what the heck.

very excite!

Jie Jie and Junior

2008-06-08T22:45:00.002+08:00

this was taken sometime back when we went for our family trip in bangkok sometime last year. the duo were eager to get in touch with the world on the other side once we touched down to bkk. i took some snaps and couldn't help but wonder, how we all have become victims of technologies.

********
feeling dodgy on a scale of 7 out of 10. zouk last night and hung out at the pool till 6am. we must be mad. i rem the sun was up when i went to bed this morning, yeah, we crawled back to bed in the most patheitc way you can imagine. almost delirious. partying like no tomorrow can be as good as dead the day after. i asked myself if i will do it again, but being a big kid as my bunny self i really don't see why life can't be as crazy and fun. :P

Tonal Moods.

2008-06-07T18:54:00.004+08:00

busy gadget bee bunny me (omg im sucha oxymoron?) is going through the list of music and its striked me that the idea of photos in the form of tonal music can be good to explore. ideas need re-creation, reasearch enhances knowledge and i will see if i can do the magic in my head and through my lens, with the company of a selection of musics i want to work with.

let it roll. let it roll.

groovy.

Adopt-a-designer program for crowdfunded fashion

2008-06-06T18:01:00.004+08:00

Catwalk Genius

catwalk genius features fashion and accessories from independent designers. through Adopt a Designer, supporters of a participating designer can buy shares (or "elements," as it calls them) in their work for EUR 14—plus a EUR 1 processing fee—in the hope of sharing in future profits. once 5,000 such elements have been sold, the designer is given the resulting EUR 70,000 to create a new collection within 6 months. in the meantime, supporters receive a limited edition piece created exclusively for them by the designer. when new collection launches, all profits from its sale are split equally among the designer, the supporters and Catwalk Genius. if the collection sells out, a tidy profit goes to the designer's supporters, who can also sign up for Catwalk Genius's affiliate program and earn 10 percent of the profits from sales through ads on their personal web pages. by the Adopt a Designer program's mid-April launch, 50 designers had already signed up.

cool. and i saw these delicious dresses with a nice price tag! they are designers dresses for a steal!

Random thoughts.

2008-06-05T20:36:00.003+08:00

as i was at a hawker after work today for dinner, some where right opposite my office building for dinner. and to be at golden shoe during lunch hours, is never a pleasing experience with the mad lunch crowd, bad weather, and a very bad culture of seat reserving of tissue packets. *eyes rolling*

anyway.

with a cool breeze in the evening, the hawker has adjusted itself to a comfy, and (might i add) peaceful from the hustles and bustles from the day. i sat down with my nasi lemak (with an extra drumstick and ikan billies *yum*), and i pondered about something random, about the many things people can do, or have achieved in life.

and like a boomerang effect, the question was thrown back at thou, but this time it returned with a slight differ from questions of the generalism. because it occurs to me, that questioning oneself, with the objective to be in comparison with another, is never a question about YOU, really. because it couldve subconsciously become a challenge to beat or to be in the list of people that other people would look up to you if you are even on par with. mmm. now do you see how you have questions about yourself that revolve about "the other people"? *smiles*

implying that the answers in general to these type of questions, or even these questions of such lacks depth is not what i mean here, but i really wonder why do we always have to put ourselves in the field when we let other people set the benchmarks? competition is even more challenging when the competition is yourself , and the battle is ALWAYS a winning situation because you have prepared yourself to move to the next level to achieve better things than what you already have achieved.

its not about what we can do or have done, but how we improve ourself to be who we really want ourselve to be. once this is crafted in you, you work on it at your own pace to excel and to study the process of development, rather than ticking the boxes hastily completing what you have in your to-do-list (while about half of the people in the globe shares about the same list im sure).

more reasons to love yourself. :)
