Com Dey Gia Soun?

okay.

my friends and i are always arguing which sounds right. they confuse me so much that i decided to yahoo on designer pronunciations. some of the pronunciations really taken me by surprise.

SO DID YOU EVER ENCOUNTER SUCH EMBARRASSING SCENES BEFORE?
AND YOU SERIOUSLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PRONOUNCE YOUR BRANDS?

I DID.

just to name a few:
  1. Comme des Garçons is actually pronounced as com-dey-gia-soun
  2. Chanel read as sha-nell
  3. Hermès is pronounced as aire-mes
  4. Yves Saint Laurent is read as eve-sont-lor-hor
  5. Loewe read as low-way
  6. Versace is pronounced as Veir-sa-che
so anyways, i found a website that could actually teach you the correct way of pronouncing the brands. CLICK THIS LINK for more fashion knowledge.

you can always thank me later. mauehuaheuhaueh

by the way, i like her.

hello to: Agyness Deyn
Agyness is the new Kate Moss or even bigger
love this shot

she reminds me of Edie Sedgwick

Edie Sedgwick

i love how models are able to carry out the androgynous look and how they can look both edgy and classy, fun and sexy at the same time. Agyness does nu-rave style so naturally, i just love her to bits!!!


tell me you love me.

The 'IT Girl' To have 'It', the fortunate processor must have that strange magnetism which attracts both sexes. He or she must be entirely unself-conscious and full of self-confidence, indifferent to the effect he or she is producing, and uninfluenced by others.

There must be physical attraction, but beauty is unnecessary. Conceit or self-consciousness destroys 'It' immediately.

In animal world 'It' demonstrates in tigers and cats -- both animals being fascinating and mysterious and quite unbiddable.


- Elinor Glyn


so are you 'IT'?

Formula For A Happy Life

the issue about how to live a happy life is always topical and so allow me to share some wisdom with you guys. :)

there was this saying:
Happiness is not a matter of good fortune or worldly possessions. it's a mental attitude.
it comes from appreciating what we have instead of being miserable about what we dont have.

author of the classic Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson has a 12-poiny personal creed for happiness. they were:
  • Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
  • Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
  • Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others.
  • You cant please please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
  • Don't let your neighbours set your standards. Be yourself.
  • Do the things you enjoy but stay out of debt.
  • Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
  • since hate poisons are the soul, do not cherish enmities or grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
  • Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
  • Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.
  • Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
  • Keep busy at something. A person never has time to be unhappy.

Hmm.

just for the record and many curious cats, this is my fucken messed up room.


i'll take mong's advice and spring clean!

and look what samantha has gotten me for my birthday! by the way she just returned from Hong Kong with regrets of not getting something she really wants again. hahaha

so now the real deal. well i never expected her to get me this but i actually wanted this for ages! a few months ago Asylum sent me an email regarding a competition using this little holga to take snap shots and the winner gets amazing prizes! however i did not managed to participate because the following day Asylum sent me another email telling me that there was an overwhelming response of participants and the application is closed. :@

oh oh oh in case if you're interested in this little toy, you can buy it on EBay via this seller.

my new super cute superheadz "hachi" toy camera

japan holga lomo tiny toy which works like a real camera!

FYI: Asylum is having a sales now up to 60% of love!

then i was really bored that i made an attempt to fry poppadom! and it was very successful! for your information, poppadom is a side dish usually found in an Indian crusine. you eat poppadom with almost anything! curry, masala, dahl or even jam! lol i was just joking about the jam.

almost as thin as a sheet of paper

and you start counting 1..2..3

4..5..6..7..8..

and you're done!

i took less than 10mins for the dish

my family loved it and they savoured the entire dish which im not surprised -.-; . speaking of FOOD, im meeting my clique for Olio tomorrow to celebrate my belated birthday! excitement builds up in me easily and i wonder what to be expected tomorrow. :O of course, it's gonna be good and nothing bad, i hope!

Old School Cartoon

being 20 years old, i can't say i watch many cartoons anymore, save the Simpsons and Family Guy, but i was bored to tears so i figured i'd see what passes for weekday morning entertainment these days.

omg what dissapointment! the majority of cartoons on television these days are so utterly simple, uninteresting and have terrible storylines!

i recalled back in the day when i was a kid, cartoons shown every afternoon on channel12 were pure joy for me. because 90% or more of the cartoons and kids shows that were available to be watched! not only did these cartoons entertain me, they also taught me important lessons. (lol this makes it sound like my parents did a terrible job and i was raised by the tv, however that wasnt the case la)

for instance, who can forget learning about the environment on Captain Planet. but the thing was, the show was so well-written, kids didn't realize it was a blatant ploy to expose environmental issues because all that mattered was that Captain Planet beat down poachers, polluters and all other environmental villains of the sort.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT for short) was another cartoon which i tune in without fail daily! they have the best kung fu master, the coolest moves and the cheesiest pizzas ever. also, they came up with a movie recently and it was awesome!

are you ready for pepperoni pizza?!

however i think Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was stupid. i guess the very first few seasons were the best. and i clearly remembered i liked the red ranger, Jason who was the leader of the pack. i like the pink ranger Kimberly too, because the red ranger likes her. what really made me sit down and watch the show was how they transformed into huge robot liked dinosaur by just a toss of their superhero coin. haha now you know what i mean? and they all formed and morphed into a super huge figurine (like transformers, just that they're individuals who join forces into one). like the cliche says, the hero saves the day.

the original rangers

did i mention Captain Planet has the coolest theme song too?! i can vividly remember the tune! and i think it goes like this..
Wind! Water! Fire! Earth!

Captain Planet! He's the Hero!
......down to zero!

and thats practically about it haha! pathetic, isnt it! but i got the song and if you would like to download it, here is! [right click, save link as]


enjoy the great song! im lovin' it too haha! nothing beats Captain Planet, really! and if you have heard of the brand Local Celebrity you'd like to check out their collection of Captain Planet tees! they also sell other awesome tees! do check it out! :)


for him and her

why, so the moral of the day is practically to let parents know that most cartoons these days are plain bullshit. and it would be really really nice if the tv station does broadcast Captain Planet and other old school educational cartoons. kids these days need that, seriously.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

remember the 5bucks watch i got from Bugis Village?

that bloody watch stopped working! :O *gasps why, should i even be surprised? its a SGD5 watch! who am i kidding anyways haha! its always the case: the watch came with the package. looks great on the exterior but sucked totally inside. i should have expected that to happen. never see that coming until 2 days later after i realised the time shown on dearest 5bucks watch is actually 1 hour slower than my casio! okay, wtf

gotta admit that was an impulse buy and i was really desperate for a huge face watch so there, i got myself a cheap and practically useless watch!

lesson for the day: when they say its a 5bucks watch, they really meant a 5bucks one.

ps: thank you aveline for the cake slices! it was really good! i indulged in every slice and even craved for more after the last piece! :)~

Crystal Jade with Annoying Sister

so the annoying kid and i went to crystal jade for a feast. join in the quest and follow us in our journey to conquer the plates of delicious and very indulging dishes!

the priceless smile

fried shrimp wantons


annoying kid was such a sporting person that day :)

generous serving of ee-fu noodles. w/ scallops, prawns and fish


guess the price and i'll give you a lolly

we then got a white faced Roborovski hamster. named it Hiro after Hiro Nakamura from Heros. partly because he has a little scar across his nose (do you call that a nose) and he runs at a godspeed distance! haha we thought he was a reincarnation of roadrunner. d :P

hi! im Hiro and im born to be cute


20...21?!

20...20.5?
20...20.75?

what about 21...20? no?!

:~ (

obviously i asked for the impossible.

so ive figured that now ive turned 20, i thought it would be really neat to keep a list of 10 things that i wanna to do before i turn 21.
  1. Lose weight
  2. Get into a freaking school
  3. Learn the piano and guitar again
  4. Get a boyfriend (a hot geek preferably, and some kinky sex involved? horny. just kiddin')
  5. Bungee Jump & Sky Div
  6. Travel
  7. Start my own business
  8. Learn to save, not splurge
  9. Dance like a pro
  10. Appreciate life more

cliché, cliché i know. just like any typical "Before I Turn 21" list, it's funny to have one because it seems like im dying, therefore a list of what i want to do before i die being generated.

i mean, turning 20 is just like any other birthdays. turning 21, is otherwise. that is when more responsibilities and burdens are being pushed to you. your stress level increases gradually, you will find time flying so fast you won't even know how many days are there in a year! so you age faster than you imagined it to be. many might think, oh it's okay, im cool and i can handle anything under the sun, its peanuts! however, not when you are always facing so many issues even before you turn 21. entering to a new phase of life.

ugh. kill me, please.


another 364 days to hell, now let me enjoy while i can.

Officially 20




yay.

Oooh, Tila Tequila...So What?

many guys drool over her.
many girls envy her.
she is Tila Tequila.

*tiffny look-a-like (if you know who im talkin about)

okay so now everyone's talkin' about Tila. i didnt realised she's famous till i read xiaxue's blog! im an avid user of myspace and i never knew that she is the queen of myspace either (i mainly surf myspace for music)! im such a dork. i recalled that i did chance upon her account several times however i must say she wasn't as popular as then compared to now (btw, it was eons ago). guess modelling(sidenote: does not happen to everyone) and the reality show she hosted did make her hella rich and famous, which is a good thing!

hot toned body, great personality, x-factor are what it takes to get you into the entertainment world. obviously she has it and the best part of all, she's bisexual!(sorry ive got a thing for bisexuals) :)

i extracted this from Time and what shocked me was this :
"Tila Nguyen was 1 year old when she moved to the U.S. from Singapore, but she's Vietnamese by heritage and blond by choice. As for what she does for a living, there isn't really a word for it yet. Nguyen, 25, who goes by Tila Tequila professionally, is some combination of rapper, singer, model, blogger and actress. But what she mostly is is the queen of the massive social-networking website MySpace."

omfg she was from Singapore?! woah! i can really die happy now because it's evident that Singapore does have pretty hot girls! *scoffs okay that's just an over-reaction and i do admit im being overly dramatic and bloody sarcastic but it doesn't kill for a pretty hot girl like Tila Tequila, right? so now we can pop our champagne( i'll skip that) and throw confetti everywhere because we do have hot girls in Singapore! uh huh uh huh

okay whatever.

my point being, she's famous, hot but so what? it's not as if she's gonna prevent greenhouse effect from happening or magically change the world into a better one. she's just another 25 year old in pursuit of her dreams. i believe everyone has their dreams and nevertheless be daring and confident in pursuing them. digressing and i apologise

i've gotten mine, what about you?
*and she really does look like Tiffny!

so Tila got hers, or any other celebs got their fame and their houses in Beverly Hills but what does this proves? that they're the rich and famous? with paparazzi loitering around their apartments and not willing to shrug off. yes, maybe some really like the attention, but mind you we're all human and we have emotions too. that's also one reason why i truly empathize Britney who is trying to overcome her ordeal. (or maybe she's trying to be funny like Dr Phil is too)

boo hoo hoo

okay, okay i'll just stop digressing. boo hoo!

so everyone eventually gets their dream at the end of the day, whether they like it or not, its life and what can you do? shut up and live with it or change it if you think you're capable of, duh.

*Tiffny's a schoolmate of mine
