Fashion Frenzy

fashion never fails to amaze me, always giving the whole pop!-like details, the workmanship and the fantastic flow of creativity. so i completed yet another season of Project Runway and had been a fan since it's debut and i must say it keeps getting better and better!

though i have to admit that i'm not someone who knows how to appreciates high fashion or even recognize the accurate pronunciation of Loewe but the outcome of almost every fashion piece was just so stunning that i almost gave fashion a thought at my future career. it just blows me away to see how wonderful things the hands and mind can bring you to.

like art, fashion uses the mind and creative juices to actually execute the skills and create something trashy into a omgwtfwow! outfit. Project Runway proved something that i always doubt about my life: Anything is possible, only if you try.

very passe, i totally get it however it's so true it applies to everything in life. that's why im so inspired when i watched Project Runway! as crazy as it seems, but i managed to watch the entire season within a day ;)

i've decided to take a few of my favourite pieces from season 4 and share with y'all.



these are the pieces that wow me, don't you think so too?

it seemed like every piece of outfit speaks for itself! jaw-dropping ones (bottom row 1st outfit) like the avant-garde piece that was done by the collaboration of Chris March and Christian Siriano! lovely, isn't it?!

every challenge is nothing but a notch higher of difficulty, which was interesting because you get to see what the designers got up their sleeves and how they are able to tackle with the situation as the difficulty level gradually increases. if you have not caught any seasons of Project Runway, i urge you to so now!

fashion, is one of your major essential thing in life. dress well, look well, and die with no regrets!

Guy Friend X

this guy friend X, is a player.

he loves one night stands and never misses to make new girl friends in clubs. gets their number, sleeps with them. and he so he thought women are cheap sluts and bitches with the V-agina but not the B-rains. when he opened up and told me he's a player, my jaws dropped repeatedly because i can't believe i'm speaking to an intelligent man(so i thought) who sleeps loosely! what a bastard.

we used to chat about general matters and ending up in heated arguments without a conclusion. that was how our conversations last and how we actually appreciated each other's company. however once he opened up, he just couldn't stop yakking about how he conquered his land and how he dominated the world which really annoys me. it never stopped when...

X told me he fell in love with this girl in his faculty.

he deleted girls' numbers. ceased all his dates and avoided ONS, his forte for flirting disappeared into the cold solid ground. i was convinced that he loves the girl, Z. so X and Z are happily together and my boy X stopped talking to me in msn, never reply to my messages and we just stopped meeting each other for coffee. it was weird for a friendship to end abruptly and it was funnier that 5months later he finally decided to message me telling me that his relationship he thought was dovey sweet ended.

because Z was dating a 40 year old saggy man behind his back! ouch.

"i didn't even made attempts to fornicate! i'm exceptionally loyal and i love her!" he aded.

"what comes around goes around," i replied. "i cut myself for her" he answered and i was taken back by surprise because X always laugh at people who are suicidal. couldn't believe my eyes that he too turned into one of the emo kids!

[pauses] don't you think people who are suicidal after ending a really awful relationship are dumb? maybe they are emotionally distressed and couldn't think straight so thinking that killing themselves will solve all the issues they face. correct me, but isn't suicidal a form of escapade from reality? like, slitting your wrists make you a hero? or dying after popping bottles of pills will make your ex love you again? what moronic idiot. why bring extra pain to yourself when you are hurt badly?

"your gf left you for a saggy guy. so you admit defeated?"

"yeah i had learnt a lesson and i'm gonna fuck all the girls again and not even thinking of another decent relationship for the time being."

"i won't be surprised if you had syphilis or herpes. y' know what, whatever that makes you happy."

the saying " a leopard never changes its spot" is such spot on for X, heh.

by the way if you're still wondering if we're back talking again, we are. (:

Bad/Good News

do you like hearing good news first or the bad ones? i always thought it's less hurtful to learn the bad news before announcing the good ones. it's always comforting to the ears to learn about the good news after the bad, isn't it?

There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.
some guy called Laurance J. Peter

he's damn right about it. as you can see my JPAE application is once again, unsuccessful. last night, i dreamt about my application was a success and i jumped for joy! however there's this saying that the more you tend to dream, the more it's never coming true. bloody hell, it seemed that nothing appears to be anything like my dream! ha just when reality smacks right at your face, God decides to play Russian Roulette with me. it's so obvious that i'll lose because i suck at gambling.

i have decided to give up the idea on trying another time for JPAE and head to a new direction. maybe God's trying to tell me something. i'm going to risk and take this as a new challenge. v_v

okay nuff whining about my misery, let's shift the attention to my best friend Aveline who managed to score considerably awesome grades for her A Levels!!! 1A, 3Bs and a B3! isn't that just comforting to hear such news after you just went through hell and wished how it could be you instead?! ekfprktmg#%^&*

still, i wanna take the opportunity to congratulate my dear Aveline for achieving her goals and it's just such relieve to hear great news after receiving bad news..*sits at a corner and covers up* shall meet up soon for celebration!!! your treat this time! :)

and oh, PLANS FOR AUSTRALIA?!

Hands Held High


Linkin Park - Hands Held High


Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
List something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can't put gas in your tank, these fuckers
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching it, I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
At 10 years old, it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'
Do you see the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
He hand-wrote a quote inside,
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

("Amen" and the last 2 lines repeat until the end of the song)

MTV won't play this song.

the leader who walks away?

why, not surprising! i thought i'd have it all figured. it's all about the ongoing war since the drum beating rhythm sounded military. offensive? maybe? however i have to admit it's one of the best rap songs written. the most powerful, impact-ful lyrics i've heard.
"when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
i'm not a really huge fan of Linkin Park. but when the lyrics hit me, i totally felt it, as if i'm part of the song. touche, Linkin Park. here's the video to the awesome song :) sit back and rap along.

our overjoyed prime minister, Mr. Lee Hsien Loong

i just wanna blab about how happy i am when it was announced that Singapore won the bid for the first Youth Olympics 2010. pretty cool, isn't it? well kudos for Moscow too because i believe they did as much as we can too! :)

EDC apologises

as for the ney part: EDC Edison Chen returned Hong Kong from Canada and faced the media ever since the scandal saga. he apologised to Hong Kong and the affected victims and announced that he will be leaving the entertainment business for an indefinite period of time.

extracted from ChannelNewsAsia.com:

"I stand before you to account for myself. I've never escaped responsibility before. I admit the pictures were taken by me. They were private pictures and never intended to be shown to the public. They were stolen from me illegally, and distributed without my consent. I would like to apologise to those affected by what has happened. Apologise to all the ladies and their families,"

"I've decided to step away from Hong Kong show business, and do some soul searching, and will do charity and community work in the next few months. My priority is to stop the suffering and pain. We don't want this situation to get out of control. In this regard, I've instructed my lawyers to protect all the innocent victims in this case," he said.

"I've failed you all as a role model. To all (the) young people out there, let this be a lesson to you. I hope you can forgive me, give me another chance."
- Edison Chen
it's a pity that he will be stepping out of showbiz but at least we all know that EDC isn't a coward who hides and ducks from reality. he actually stepped out and admitted his wrongdoings and well, decides to start over a new leaf. (i dont mean to be a bitch, but i always think that the saying "A leopard never changes its spots" is true sometimes)

but its just a saying! who knows what happens next?

oh, by the way...

i never thought that Edison Chen is wrong. he is just unlucky that he went to the wrong store to fix his damned laptop. like what aveline told me: nothing wrong for someone to have their own bedroom kinkiness. so true! i just want to pinpoint something that everyone should think twice about.

you see, the whole issue about sex:
it takes two to tango. two hands to clap.

EDC

a picture paints a thousand words, let alone a video.


poor Edison Chen got caught up in such difficult situation; i swear he can be as famous as a troubled Paris Hilton, but a poor one. as you guys should have heard about the recent sex scandal(s) Mr. Ed and many other female celebrities are going through, why not let me give you a suggestion: let it go.

obviously, the paparazzi and the whole entertainment field isn't going because thats how they keep money rolling in. these businesses never include "empathy" in their dictionary. and who knows how long this torture will go on? they like blood and tears, y'all know.

i told aveline that Edison was *suay, whose laptop broke down and obviously he mistakenly got it repaired at the wrong shop. ha and all of his super wild love life and kinky conquers of female celebrities (i don't have to mention them, you know them too) are being stolen and uploaded it to the great world wide web (please slap yourself 3 times if you don't know what that is)

i'm not stopping anyone from having their sex lives. because sex is part of life! but wanting to take sex scenes and videos off your lousy video camera phone or your high definition video cameras or laptops might be the biggest mistake in your life.

you don't have to be Paris Hilton or Edison Chen to be famous. even an ordinary polytechnic student Tammy got her famous for her infamous sex video which was reportedly stolen and unfortunately uploaded to the internet. she even got her own Tammy merchandise, which isn't funny at all.

the dangerous black box

it's called the black box (as told by many of my computer genius friends), something not very nice to mess with. it stores any destroyed or deleted files you executed. that's why any data you try to delete or destroy will still be found when experts retrieve it. no matter how damaged or cranky your devices are, scientists or experts are still able to get the data whenever they want. so think twice when you wanna do something stupid on the computer or on your phone.

digression and back to Ed, he had a press release.


boy, that video doesn't seem to do much justice in this. at least he tried! of course, folks like him decided to poke fun of his misery sarcastically?


ha ha ha, not funny!

well, let's all say we have our bad days. everyone has their bad days. and Ed is not an exception. guess with so many lives being destroyed temporarily, i guess it's time for Ed and all to think about the mistakes we've made past years.

*suay - unlucky in Hokkien dialect

What Is That Mysterious Ticking Noise?!



Have a good laugh. Enjoy! :)

My First Time

Joshua stared into my eyes. We were both gazing at each other waiting for the time to come. Excitement surge through my veins. Then suddenly, a sudden jerk awoke my sense. With adrenaline riding in my bloodstream, he threw me up and around in an uncontrollable frenzy. Utter chaos reigned. My min willed it to stop, but it ignored my pleas and continued to satisfy himself. The initial ache below my stomach region now increased to an excruciating pain. It was then finally the pain ebbed away after the climax.
