singapore fashion festival.

singapore fashion festival happens from 23 march to 1 april. can someone please explain to me why i have this strong desire to go?

and its not just the triumph presents sense and sesuality thats on the 28 march leh! i mean... before i even knew that was one of the programmes, i already knew i wanted to be there at the festival! to go for as many of the shows as possible..

i was scrutinising the schedule, looking at which designer, which brand was taking part. seeing whaht caught my eye. my gosh. whats happening to me!?

i think it's DL's fault lor. for introducing me big time to the high flying world of fashion and designers.. i mean.. i bought a $300 bag and a $300 pair of shoes in the past two months! one in december and another january lah! (ok. those were the prices of the goods. but i got them at a discount. if not i wouldnt even consider kae?) and thats not counting the purchases ive made other than these two!

and since then, in my free time, ive been surfing around, looking at collections by marc jacobs, john galliano, mihara yasuhiro, neil barrett, yohji yamamoto, alexender mcqueen, karl lagerfield, domenico dolce, stefano gabbana... blah blah blah..i could really go on forever... sound foreign to you? (they should coz theyre definitely not local lah! hahahah...) they are all famous designers, many of the i was never interested in them.. til now... :)

nah. i shall stop asking why like its a bad thing. i dont mind. let my interest and obsession increase ten fold, hundred fold. fine with me. hahaha.. just dont let me want something that i cant have. coz then id be living a painful death.. lolx!!! joking lah. where got so serious...

this question suddenly popped into my head. am i becoming a metrosexual? was i a closet one in the first place? hahaha.. who cares! to conform to social norms was never what i wanted to be. bleah.. i am the mixture. the rojak. the ice blended..but without the ice.. haha..

the.conformist......NOT!

rant.of.the.day

yesterday. (cue the song by wet wet wet - yesterday)

was travelling along alexandra, on the side of queensway shopping centre and i was in the right most lane, trying to make a u-turn to go up aye. green arrow started flashing. car in front accelerate to turn, i accelerate too to try and make it.

suddenly! (cue the same song, next stanza)

the car in front braked hard. i had to follow suit and stopped only centimetres away from him! wondering what the hell was going on, i very nearly became horny. i mean.. sound my horn.. -sheepish look- very nearly did.. so i look in front, trying to see what was going on..

i saw this brownish proton wira (it cant even be called champagne lah!) making a u-turn, from the lane on the left!! his window was open, and he looked at the car in front of me (i think the driver in front of me was giving him some look), and gestured vaguely at the u-turn sign and gave a the-sign-says-i-can-u-turn-so-i-u-turn-nothing-wrong face.

wtf. slap his the-sign-says-i-can-u-turn-so-i-u-turn-nothing-wrong face. as he drove past my car i pointed the universal hand sign of displeasure at him. he nearly caused me to bang into the car in front lor! but dont think he saw. hah.

idiot. yes, the sign says u-turn, but even kids know you u-turn from the right most lane lah! not just any other turning lane! idiot. dont know how he pass his driving wan sia..

i tell you.. i swear i dont make these stereotypes up lor. i see them.. right in front of my eyes.
-hysterical laughter-

dont wanna elaborate on the stereotype lah. make me sound "countryist" (as likened to "racist" and "sexist") only.

searching for it.

finished work, i went to town to look for it. first searching taka. couldnt find.. next place i thought of was toys'r us.nearest? vivo scoured..

drove there and scoured the whole place, only to realise that particular branch was so small! was more like a typical toy store than toys'r us! ended up walking the rest of vivo looking for some gift shop that may carry, but to no avail.. went back to hall dejected..

back in hall, i casually asked sean if he had any ideas. he mentioned buying from the toys'r us branch at forum a few months back! rejuvenated, i left work early and was told... out of stock! all they had left was a disgustingly simple hand puppet that looked more like some glove! argh. since my parking ahd already be paid for the hour (and only 15 minutes had passed), i took a walk, heading in the general direction of orchard road. stopping by at lido isetan, i headed straight to the toys department.

and behold! the elusive it!! it was kind of small, i could see from the sample, but the thing was packaged in a thin box, encouraging kids to buy to send them by post to a friend! there was even an elmo version, in two different sizes..

thinking for a moment (which took exacvlt all of 5 seconds, lolx), i bought it and while queueing to pay for it, started to think of how i could present it. i settled with removing the outer layer, leaving only a non-descript box on the seat..

upon seeing it, she gave a cute smile, and place everything behind. afterall, it was taking up space on the seat. :p she said she rather opened it at home. inside, i was thinking i definitely wanted her to open it in my presence so i could see her reaction. lolx.

halfway, she exclaimed that she was stepping onto something underneath her seat.. reaching for it, she gave a squeal! coz it had a picture of it on the front! oh my gosh! how could this happen man! haha..

she noticed a picture that resembled the package she had placed at the back just a few minutes ago. putting two and two together (that makes four by the way.. i helped you count! :p), she looked at me as i insisted she opened the present already.

looking at her grin in delight and hugging it sure brought a warmh to my heart. but what a way for her to find out.. and i wanted the surprise to be revealed only when she opened.. not before! lolx..

and so.. that's how it went.. it got found.

Class 95's $95 challange.

heard this over the radio with some pretty hilarious responses.. basically, listeners had to plan a valentine's day with a budget of $95 and call in to announce their plans.. here are some of the responses:

caller 1:
a stalk of rose: $10
taxi fare to east coast park: $15
char kway teow and hokkien mee: $10 (his reasoning is it's not the food that matters, it's the company and the heart.. -.-)
bottle of wine: $20
candles: $5
present: $35

to me, everything went well until the char kway teow part man.. like wth?!?! hahha..

then there was another caller, who called in and gave a super budgeted programme and gifts, totally stretching the $95 to the max.. and it was revealed later that she was the manager at a value shop! lolx.

caller 3:
roses: $15
nightie: $??

he didnt give the price but i guess the rest of the budget?

caller 4:
roses: $10
candles: $5
condoms: $12

$12 for condoms??? thats the large box right? what siaaa... and where's the rest of the money gone to? his pocket ah? ahahaha.. pssst... or he use the remaining $68 to buy his company for the night? :p :p

so given this budget constraint, what would your valentine's day be like? share share.. haha..

old changi hospital.

well.. this shld be old news to many, but if you havent heard about it, allow me to tell you..

there are plans to convert old changi hospital into a spa resort.. yep. you heard right... spa resort!!! i quote, the area is planned "for a proposed spa and resort development, which will retain the rustic charm of the Changi area, and preserve the transquility and characteristic of the buildings".. and the big plan is to transform the Changi Point into a recreational coastal village..

oh my gosh. what is Premium Pacific Pte Ltd thinking.. cater to locals and foreigners who prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life? at least not old changi hospital lah!! thats like the most haunted place in singapore man! eeks...

maybe if they can get more people to frequent the area.. then the eerie-ness will fade away? someone mentioned that the connotation invoked when old changi hospital is mentioned wil probably only fade away with this generation, when people forget the long history of the place which spans back to world war 2.. but isnt the supernatural a topic that interest people precisely because there is nary an explanation for it? maybe the stories will always be passed along... by word of mouth... generation to generation... through the years....

hahahaha.. so. who's up for a spa getaway once the place is completed? :p
