Surprisingly, we have access to blogs now. Maybe they realised pple will indeed go crazy if they are not given an outlet to EXPLODE during grey cubicle office time. haha. actually what real difference does it really make if they let us access to FB, MSN, Youtube....etc? og whatever.
Yest, we had some prep talk.....some dude said we are in a best company and industry. aiyah, every industry also good lah when its a motivational talk. Yes i am still here....and dreading the routine movie parade coming up. isnt it so boring? what else can we organise? the customers here less and less....and mgt isnt really bothered. they just follow the flow from others.
how to escape? aiyah...then if buy house and get into debt how? so sian right.
on a brighter note, had a nice time at ahzhe's concert last month. seeing overseas friends come to SG....its a happy feeling. The concert was good.....maybe cause it was just the plain good voice ahzhe showcased. so there was a bit of nostalgic feel.
he is working very hard nowadays, more so when he was in his peak...funny rite. but perhaps now he is on his own and so when its yr own business, you try harder. just hope when he is back here again, he will be in a relaxed mood. seems he was not feeling very well when he arrived in SG. The new album - Genesis also has a old skool feel. a little 90s feel to it. i think all the songs suit the perception most pple expect of him. i sincerely hope it is well received! sales is one thing but that is not the most important thing now as downloads have taken over. Just hope the reviews, support for this is solid this time round. And that he makes a big comeback in Taiwan - his hometown. They better wake up and realise that they have such an outstanding singer!!!
and oh yeah, he is still that cranky in the morning. haha. snapped at me for giving some paper thin envelop. saying he has packed already...! Huh!??? ok whatever. haha.
i think the jay chou and hip hop crap has more or less dwindled. pple are back into basics. good singing and vocals. thanks to the various singing shows. so appreciation of music is back. but the hottest groups are still those from korea....anyway their fans are mainly ladies 20 and below and only last perhaps 6mths! haha.
lately a lot of talk on property......sg is a small place, not much topics to talk about sometimes. anyway just as you are about to pay that dreaded 50kCOV....which is pretty crazy, the govt comes out with new rules and the prices start dropping! good news but what is the correct price now? aiyo......dunno man. wait or just go for it?
saw this movie Babies yest. very cute. just love the japanese baby ......LIfestyle...haha not the baby but her lifestyle. her parents are urban cool man. if only i could be mummy in such an environment. haha. not that i am materialistic but this would be most me. if i were a baby, i think i am most like the american kid. a bit go with flow....haha. the african kid is a little gullible, and easy to influence. the mongolian kid, a bit crazy actually and the japanese kid...crazy competitive and ambitious.
hmm....

Viva Europe 2010!
Darn! As more sites are banned by I.T., I now can’t even get in Blogger to pen my thoughts during boring and dry work periods. Blog has been quiet for a while….its funny as I usually do write in stuff which I encountered or experienced such as trips and holidays.
Perhaps now with things like FB, pple find it less enticing to share on a blog. FB is so “instant” and so Ba qua! But everyone enjoys that. I have expressed before the worry of everything moving so fast, and now I feel it has come to another level.
Half of 2010 is over…and during this time, I actually made a trip to Europe!! Yes far away Europe but yet it surprisingly seem like it was a trip to …gulp maybe KL or Tw! Why? during these past 6mths, I have become more and more restless and getting bored with everything in like 3 seconds. Oh dear. I dunno if its just me or just about everyone in modern society feels the same? Maybe its certainly better to go slow on the internet stuff and finding out every single thing that is happening.
I don’t like this feeling. Europe – specifically this time – my dream place London is one of those places that worshipped since I was 13 yrs old! Everything that is brit is cool to me. I wanted to go to Smash Hits land all the time, dreaming of the cool and funky music and fashion. Finally, I got a chance to visit London in March. Yes, it was nice…but I didn’t feel that type of excitement and anticipation as I thought I would have. Sign of aging? Perhaps. Or maybe that dam Goggle Maps? Before the trip, I was busily checking out where was Euston Road – the street where the YHA I booked was at. I saw the street, the shops, the cars, the mood of London even before I reached! When I finally arrived…hey, everywhere is familiar already. How can anything be new and exciting like that?
In fact, the exciting thing was when we were about to land into Heathrow, and the pilot left the communication with the Control Tower on the PA system. “SQ318, cleared for landing!”….in a crisp British accent came over the plane…wow! I was so excited!! We were nearing ENGLAND! LONDON! Ok that was about it. We took the A380 plane for the first time too. And thank goodness it was a smooth and comfortable ride. The plane was spacious and quiet. In fact, it felt that we took a short coach ride to KL. Honest. That’s the beauty of travelling direct I guess. Haha.
Over the 2 weeks, we went to London, Painswick, Paris and Switzerland. Everywhere in Europe was beautiful due to the spring flowers and generally fine weather but it still wasn’t the WOW like what I felt maybe a few years back. Everything seems to be ok only. Probably a sign of getting older I sure. I hope. Montreux was particularly beautiful with the lakefront and the crazy pretty flowers and snow capped mountains. And Painswick was quiet and peaceful. Paris was just filled with beautiful fashionable goods (eg hong kong high end boutiques) but it was not romantic. Honest. Maybe only during midnight where the lamp lit streets are filled with emptiness. All these, yes they were nice there and then, but when I was back, they were just forgotten in almost an instant. Sad. There is no lingering memory, just perhaps a photographic one.
In fact, the surprisingly thing is that my trip to USA 2 years ago was er…more memorable!? Why? I dunno. Let me think. Jumping out of the subway into the streets of New York with the big yellow taxi…I remembered that feeling very well! It was just wow…that moment, the “I can’t believe I am here!!” feeling. Maybe because NYC is very far away? Trip to US is very high risk? NYC is often portrayed on TV and movies? Hmmm…maybe the last answer is it. Yes, its more glamorous and of course after the 4 hr flight to HK, 6 hours in transit and then 15 hours to NYC…yes of course you feel a great sense of achievement! HAHA. No seriously, I remember Times Square very well. There is a vibe to NYC. Things are not as trendy as London or Paris but the vibe was different. I think maybe Europe is more a cultured place with history while NYC/USA is more a place with the entertainment and fun factor. Just like the Americans – the people who talk loudly, talk crap and do lots of silly things. Times square was filled with tourist shops, broadway (far more exciting than London West End), fast food and theme restaurants…and the David Letterman studio. Boy! Was I happy when I saw that – I mean we see David Letterman on TV, him running down to the deli with foreign staff….and now I am part of that scene!
NYC was also rather cool with the many apt lofts, edgy fashion shops. We went on to Chicago via a Greyhound bus (middle of the night ride), and took 3 domestic flights to Chicago from Buffalo and back to NYC. Chicago was less exciting but nonetheless, a nice quiet place.
Conclusion – Maybe its not the place but the journey and experiences and expectation. So can we apply that in life as well? To make our life more exciting?

Zooming to the airport
What makes a fashion blogger?
There are many nowadays...all dressing up in the most creative and alternative manner to beat the trends. what do these pple do? do they have a full time job? are they rich? where do they get all their tons and tons of expensive clothes from?
lets face it, nice clothes are quite expensive. yes u can pair them with budget stuff but still budget stuff can seldom look WOW on their own. i have just seen many feature on the Paris Fashion week and lots of pple are also dressing up so pple can spot them and take pictures of them.
of course they are indeed part of the fashion world....all i can say, blame it on the internet.
Pending my trip to London, i read up a bit on Vivienne Westwood. Its weird she does not think much of consummerism and told pple to stop buying clothes!? now how can that be coming from someone who sells fashion? i think everyone is aware of the current crazy fast paced world we live in but we just cant stop or make it stop?...its really something to think about.
Anyway, the highlight of the past few days gotta be meeting JC again! its really been a long time since i became his fan and i was really wondering if i shld go to the airport to meet him. yeah its sounds crazy and all but i cant explain the happiness to see you idol in person.......at anytime. there i was on sunday morning, thinking whether to get up early and prepare to first go buy some food to give him and then to airport....part of me said SIOW...but then soon enough i found my legs just moving out of the house and heading to the airport. HAHA. and boy! i glad i went to airport. (but at the slight expense of my wallet :( road block on Nicholl Highway due to some dumb cycling event! i was so worried i will be late as the cab circled around shenton way for an alt route! Grrrr!!)
JC was nice enough although not really like relaxed....he was with his parents and 2 staff. seems like he was tired or maybe thinking of something. BUT i signalled for him to come out of the Premiere Lounge (now i now EVA Business class = check in at VIP area....hehe) he agreed! haha....
he came out and chat for a while. ok that is enough to make mine and casie's day^^
anyway, i look fwd to see JC in aug for his concert! i hope he also has much success with his rumoured gf.......really wanna see him get married!

G2000 Black Label
Faced the same problem again this morning, didnt know what to wear to work!
My office although is in town, but most of my colleagues dress really casual and simple. Nobody wears any smart corporate professional clothes. aiyah, so its a dilemma... u wanna dress up and not look sloppy but yet u dun want to overdress ....cuz sad to say, u like feel like so what "no one's looking"....haha....even the whole office building dress in a more simple way ...except for the Intl Shopping company on the 3rd floor --- now their ladies dress smart and also reflect the bigger budgets they have for grooming...i see lots of better quality clothes and bags on them!
so what is it going to be? anyway i wore a silk G2000 black label blouse and team it up with a Zara skirt. whatever....cant be a model everyday with different clothes! haha!
Now wearing that G2000 black label blouse reminds me of the wonderful HK summer sales i visited last Aug. Now, the last weekend of Aug in HK is totally madness!! prices drop to 90% off!!! its so exciting!! i remember they call it FINAL SALES. and in the morning u see tons of gals queuing up outside I.T. i managed to get many things with 70-90% off. When they clear, they really clear, and its not old stock that is 4 seasons ago but current S/S collection.
I came across G2000 black label, the clothes are of course aimed at the executive and made of better materials. a blouse than used to cost SGD100 now only $30!
I was impressed with the quality. came back to singapore, went to Raffles City to check out the new collection. Aiyo....shocked! dun have lor! the boutique was not that anymore and changed to the cheaper range from G2000 which is the Pink, Blue range with cheesy colours and designs and alot of man made materials.
I asked the girl - what happened to the Black Label? She said ...ah....in Singapore cannot sell ah...the price is too high for most people, they rather buy budget. so Sad!! so nobody appreciare smart business wear? everyone just go for $20-30 synthetic tops? i mean this is Raffles City!
anyway, if this goes on, sporeans will of course forever dress down and be trendless - eg 365 days no trend of style or season. how like this?

HAPPY HU NIAN!
HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!! Yay! Its Chinese New Year again and wishing everyone a wonderful happy and energetic Year of The Tiger!
I really hope that we see more world peace and harmony this year. And of course people learning to love our earth more and love animals and support conservation more!
This year i didnt really have any thing new to wear so, it was a last minute thing to get all my new clothes. and hey! i actually got a Tiger Stripe jacket fromVeeko! haha....wahts more...at 50% discount. hehe.
The thing about clothes, does it mean the more expensive it is, the nicer it looks?
i hate to admit it but i think there is some truth in it.
as much as we do not want to be sucked into spending tons on clothes and be rational to get OK enough mass labels but hey....u will end up looking like one too.
but i guess its a personal choice.
i always, once in while, settle for cheaper stuff and say hey, just clothes rite...but honestly i will only wear them once. they just dun fit rite. maybe its all in my mind?
but maybe not.
i have been following what Hilary Tsui is wearing for a while. She has a certain cool taste and this goes back all the way to 2003 when i first saw her in a HK mag. i didnt know she was ''someone''....but she was just different from all the other gals in the mag. What she wore was a long skirt and some top...a little hippie look an edgy haircut. It was something i would definitely wear!
ever since then, i see her once in a while in the media and her taste seems to get better and better. maybe she is also more confident. Now Hilary has gathered a following and also her own fashion blog and shop. The things she is wearing now are really nice and cool, mainly dark colours but hey, are bright crazy prints ever cool? nope. The looks are inspiring but the price is not. So i wonder nice things do always come with a price! The things she wears are simple but nothing is really cheap.....u can say she is lucky because she has access to High fashion. and she can mix and match them easily. Some of her fans have requested her to wear lower end clothes but i think its hard to do that. the labels she source and is aware of are mainly at least $300 per piece and up.
I envy her a lot in that sense that she can do what she likes and also have direct links to the best of make up, hair and trends. and of course a cool singer husband. haha. well, at least there is someone to look at for ideas. haha.
so in conslusion, stop buying useless stuff at a bargain which you will not wear or feel good but a few good pieces that is made of good material that can last and last and make you look and feel good!
