party party party

last night, i slept at 4am.

Photobucket
me. after 4 sake, 1 vodka cranberry, 1 vodka shot, 1 beer, 2 mango margarita, 2 kahlua. it didnt felt anything though.

i’m bemused by my alcohol intake. some days i can down many and not feel anything. some days i just get high over a few sake or red wine.

it wasn’t a planned party. Kelvin told me last minute while i was at legends.
“hi baby, how are you dressed today?”
“why?”
“oh, the friends i met at the conference are leaving tml morning. So i thought of bringing them for some good sashimi and party at timbre in the night with micheal tay.”
“erm, ok. im in heels.”
“ok, you’re alright in joining? cause we’ll be talking more formal business stuffs.”
“erm, do i have a choice? we’re supposed to meet today right. you don’t expect me to head home now if we’re not meeting up.”

Photobucket
I guess i’m decently dressed.

We brought Dominique and Genilla to Kuriya. haha.. Had good sashimi and soba. the usuals. not forgetting sea urchin!!! =)

Dominique is a british whose wife is russian and have been staying in russia for 11 years.
Genilla is a swedish who worked in ukraine for many years and is married to a russian.

After dinner, we headed to Timbre and joined Mike (ambassador of singapore to russia) and the art house delegation who went with kelvin to moscow.

so “russia” huh.. haha..

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
The delegation.

Photobucket
Kelvin, Dominique, Genilla. Engrossed in their conversation.

The whole crowd then moved on to Pump Room for some moves and grooves. (yes, it’s pump room again.)

———————————————–

and i had to wake up early for my french lessons..
totally zonked-out!

met up with serene and gillian for lunch after lessons.
we had lunch, coffee, gossips, handphone hunting and some beauty shopping. lol..
since when 3 is a crowd? haha..

Photobucket
My damage for the day. -_-” Shoot me down!

Fancl is really so much much cheaper in Japan. And i didnt expect Serene to get it for me so fast. I was just telling her about it the other day and a few days later, she got it!

Gillian recommended the Pantene hair mask and it was only going for $1.95 at Watson’s!

Got some nail buffers and a round comb. Oh well, time to get a comb for myself. I don’t own a single piece at home! don’t ask me how i comb my hair.

Doing the Karen Cheng

Have you heard of Karen Cheng?

Photobucket
Do you know that taking photos using mirror reflection was sort of started by her?

haha.. I have really no idea who’s the original starter of it but apparently she made it famous.

There’s even a Facebook group: Doing the Karen Cheng!

AND.. she’s coming to Singapore next week on a holiday.
AND.. she’s gonna do a “Doing the Karen Cheng” here to raise some funds for charity.

i think it’s quite cool. =)

I have been reading her blog recently. And i envy her very much. She has like almost everything a woman wants. Looks, figure, adorable kids, loving husband, fulfilling life…

new face (2)

 i climbed out of bed at 6am to prepare for the 2nd round auditions.
imagine i did a show last night and slept at 2am.. totally shagged out in the morning!

Time reported: 8AM!!

Saw some familiar faces around. Spotted Christine!

I had the company of Taryn, Emilia and a few of her other friends. =)

 Photobucket
Me & Taryn. *sweets*

This time around, the judges reviewed all 120 of us and eliminated half the group. Then from the 60, they select the top 24 for photoshoot.

Well well, i got eliminated after getting into top 60.

Photobucket
Now, i’m only willing to attribute my failure to my braces.
*gosh, 3 pimples on my forehead!!!*

Though sometimes I really wonder if it’s my braces that affecting the results. Somehow, they should just reject me right from the start if they don’t wana accept braces.

Anyways, i’m so happy that Taryn got into the top 24!!! you go babe! ;)
And of course, the quality of the girls are thousand times better than -youknowwhat-. (can’t be bothered to type it out)

air flown

met up with daryl last night to get my stuffs from states.

Photobucket
Not forgetting my faves. Lindt Lindor Truffles. So smooth~

fondue

after many last minute cancellation. finally.. finally, we managed to meet up! haha..

the last met with Hon Peow was more than a year ago. haha.. really great to see him again.

we decided to dine @ eHub. the new place at downtown east.

tried out the “famous” chicken rice shop…
Photobucket

apparently the chef was previously from chatterbox…
Photobucket

we ordered half a chicken…
Photobucket

plus 2 plates of vegetables…

$20!!

what an expensive chicken rice meal. -_-”

well, kinda over-rated. there’s better chicken rice out there.

enough of chicken chicken… we headed to his friend’s newly opened FONDUE shop. just next to gelare~

too excited over the choc-chocolates so, didnt take any pics..

the chocolate was really good. not sweet neither choking.

peeps, do try out FONDUE when ya @ downtown east k! =D

kiasu.kiasi

After countless of trips to Tangs, I finally put the $60 voucher to good use today.

Despite the ongoing GSS, there wasn’t much that caught my eye.

It was a match between CHANEL’s matt lumiere liquid foundation and M.A.C Studio Fix’s liquid foundation + concealer…

Being a singaporean, M.A.C was selected.

And i kinda regretted after making the purchase. I think chanel’s made my face brighter. Well, im in need of a concealer too.. So 2 for 1. 2 wins. -_-”

——————————————

Paid for my next session of French. 

*horrified* i think i’ll have to walk alot more and survive on bread and water for the next few months man.. till i get jobs.

Franck was on medical leave and another French teacher came in. Boy was he a funny one! He’s so drama-mama! lol..

ukraine

Photobucket

We managed to catch Sex And The City before he leaves for Ukraine.

with much anticipation of the movie, I was kinda disappointed. despite the louis vuitton, prada, jimmy choo, vivienne westwood, etc. Didnt really like it..

yup, the man is in ukraine. for god knows what reasons.

i’m getting bored staying home. gotta get my bum moving!

the weather is killing. i think im losing weight through all the perspiring.

new face

i was seen with Emilia at cityhall yesterday morning. =)

Photobucket
Vincent suggested that I should get more exposure by joining contests. And so, I decided to try out for New Paper New Face despite my braces.

Photobucket
Emi was going too, so we had each other’s company! Spotted Taryn there too~ =)
 
Photobucket
Concidentally, we both knew Cassandra.. haha..

Photobucket
I look so sleepy and tired…

Photobucket
they gave out free New Paper~

we were much “entertained” by the staff of New Paper as they taught us how to ZAP the codes. lol…

the usual question pops:”you are wearing braces?”
yes, i am. =(
can you remove them for photoshoot?
i can remove the wire but not the brackets. I guess we’ll have to photoshop it.

it was a on the spot decision. you’re in or you’re out.

the judges’ decision was… IN.

so next week, im going for the 2nd round where they will select 24 girls for photoshoot and out of it, 20 will make it into the finals. this is really competitive! but i like them doing the decision on the spot. Let’s not waste each others’ time. =)

i know that i wouldn’t get in the 24 but i so wana go see gorgeous people! haha….

braces are a real hindrance at this point of time. but im happy i passed the 1st round. shows that i’ll have a greater chance next year when they’re removed!

—————————————————

Night time was Ding Tai Feng with Kelvin and Pump Room for Yulia’s Birthday! Gonna grab the photos from his camera later before he flys to Ukraine tonight~

Photobucket
check out my smoky purple eyeshadow! i like ;)

i hope it doesnt look like “or-bah-kah”. LOL!

you be the judge.

http://www.moblog.com.sg/gridgirls/submission_list.asp

No doubt I’m feeling extremely bitter over the Grid Girls issue. I detest Singtel’s way of doing things and more disappointing, the corp. comms are the ones handling everything.

This bitterness had urged me to change my mobile operator. I know i sound silly and childish. But i have been wanting to switch to Starhub for donkey years and I dont want to change my number! NOW, since full number portability is feasible, the more i want to do so. BUT.. guess what? i was put on hold for freaking 30minutes and still no customer service staff picked up the call!

And I was at the Hello shop yesterday. the queue was horrible and so i approached one of the counter staff.

“Excuse me”
“Sorry I’m attending to a customer now.” (so rude…)
*gave a disgusted look at him* “I just want to ask you a question. Do I have to queue up at the information counter to find out how long more is my contract with Singtel?”
“You can call 1626.”
“I tried but nobody picks up the call.”
“You can try *1626 then.”

Oh well, i tried. But they only manage to inform me that i’m eligible for the 21months handset upgrade.

wtf*

full stop
