Cream pie.

Thank you for all the concern and sweet comments on my accident!
I will update the previous entry on the details of the accident later-- I don't really feel like reliving the sordid affair now. :(




Anyway, I am back! Contrary to my original belief, I didn't take much pictures in KL, 'cause it was such a hectic trip! Just errands after errands (and accident T_T), so much so that I was mostly makeup-less and bespectacled. Geek alert. :P




I did get my hair done though!




But I am don't want to show you all wtf. Acting coy wtf.


Hahaha, no la! We were actually out at Nirwana's (banana leaf rice is love), but it was raining when we reached home! I couldn't let my hair get wet 'cause I just dyed it... And there wasn't any umbrella in the car, so I frantically asked my sisters whether there was a plastic bag or a book or anything which I could shield my head from the rain.

Then Jing passed me the Tea & Sympathy paperbag and asked me to wear it.

I really put in on my head but it couldn' cover my head, and somemore I worriedly asked them, "eh cannot cover my whole head, got hair poking out! How ar!"

Then the very wordly and wise Jing pointed out that I only dyed my roots, so as long as the paperbag covered the top of my head, I am safe.

So I proceeded to run to my house with the paperbag cupped on my head like a proud Red Indian. T___T


************************************


Yaaaaa, I only touched up on my roots, and got a trim! Didn't do anything too drastic 'cause I chickened out last minute, HAHA. I decided at the 11th hour that I am not that keen to rebond my hair, I really do like the volume and puffiness of my layers now, and I am afraid rebonding hair will make it look limp and lifeless (though my hairstylist assured me that it won't happen). Not to mention that my heart aches when I think of putting my hair through so much chemical thrauma! Rebonded it once in January and 2 dye jobs subsequently, I feel that my hair needs a breather. So my plan is to let it be for the meantime, and see whether my hair remains poofy and happy till my next hair appointment! :)




I am contemplating going back to blunt straight bangs and curls for my next visit.

Because I want to look like Lena Lena. T____T


The day before, I caught a glimpse of my reflection from the corner of my eye, and I thought I beared a little resemblance to Lena Lena!!!!!
Like when we smiled... 'cause our eyes crinkle! (for different reasons: 'cause her eyes too big, and mine too small wtf)
When I told Jing and Teeny, they laughed so hard that the car shook. T_T

And they told me that the only similarity between Lena Lena and I is that we are both human. WTF.
T__________T




Btw, I took a cab from Times Square (where my hairstylist is located at), and I didn't know that taxis there run by coupons!! I am sorry, but I haven't taken a cab in KL since.. forever? 'Cause taxi drivers in M'sia will rape you and then chop you into pieces what!!! But I took a risk 'cause I wanted to do my hair but I had no transport wtf. The things I do for beauty, haha! Anyway, back to the story, I walked to the long stretch of cabs in front of the entrance, and this Indian taxi driver stopped me and asked me where I wanted to go. When I told him where my place is at, he quoted me RM30 straightaway! In a rather matter-of-fact, only-for-you-I-charge-so-cheap way, I might add. I quickly shot back, "Why aren't you running by meter?" and he LAUGHED at me. He said that no one goes by meter in Times Square and that it is all done by coupons. He then cut his quotation to RM20, and said that it is very "murah" ('cheap') and that coupons are way way more expensive.

I was very pissed and wary (and a little scared, 'cause all the cab drivers looked like potential rapists T_T) at that point, but I decided to take a walk to the coupon counter anyway. And guess what! It only cost me RM16 to take a ride via coupon payment!! Bear in mind that the shopping mall takes a small cut out of the amount, so essentially it costs even less than that. And that bloody bugger tried to charge me RM30!!! Arghh, now I know how bad the cab system is like in M'sia. :(




Anyway! Everyone has been asking me why I went home in the middle of the week. And everyone chastised me for not taking an extra day leave on Friday to stay in Kl for an entire stretch till weekend. :(

I admit, I have been farsighted! I completely overlook the fact that had I took today off as well, I will have FIVE days at home. :( But upon deeper pondering, I can't be home this weekend! 'Cause it's moving time. :(



So, the reason I was home was so that I could... attend a dinner.




I know, damn wtf right. Long story cut short, my dad is a member of Lake Club in KL, and they extend memberships to members' children. My dad decided that it might be difficult for me to pick up a membership in the future (they have all these prissy requirements; gee, I hope they won't ever find my blog =/), so he got me to apply for it now. In short, I got the membership (had to go for an interview -___-), and I had to be back for the Induction Night! Apparently if I don't go for it, there will be terrible consequences. -___-

Which is why I flew to and fro in 2 days. Rushed like hell!



It was a formal event! At first, I was quite excited about it, 'cause I thought I have tonnes of formal wear which I don't really have opportunities to wear anyway.

I was hopelessly wrong.

I had half an hour to get ready for the night (was in KL doing my hair before that), and I found out that all my cocktail dresses were too short, too slutty, too bright, too youthful!!! Just wrong, basically.
('Cause I assumed the event to be quite solemn, the members are all old dudes. Not to mention Lake Club is really strict about dress codes)

So I had nothing to wear. T_T






Which is why I was really proud of my outft for the night. ;)
I threw on a cream lace front-hooked corset that I got from Lapsap in Feb, and dug up my mom's Donna C's skirt from a couple of years back-- did a bit of random tying, and yay, I got myself a cocktail dress! :D




Showing the lovely layers that is the gorgeous skirt.
Pictures do not do it any justice!


Btw, Donna Chew (or Donna C which she is more well-known as) is a local designer, which makes really lovely feminine clothes, with a specialisation in cocktail wear! I always see people seeking advice on where to get formal dresses in M'sia for proms and parties, well, seek no further! Donna C really makes such lovely, pretty dresses. The ready-to-wear formal wear don't come cheap (ranging from averagely RM400 and above, but this was a couple of years ago so I am not sure whether there has been a price increase), but rest assured, they are truly beautifully made pieces! She custom-makes pieces for customers as well. :) Donna C can be found in Sungei Wang, em, at one of the higher floors-- they call the shoplot '8 M'sian designers' or something like that-- where she can be found with Melinda Looi, Khoon Hooi and a few other local designers. :)

Full outfit.
Damn pleased with it, 'cause I put it together in less than 5 minutes, hurrah! :D








No more ugly roots showing!!!



The color looks quite dark here, but everyone asked me in office today whether I dyed my hair. T__T I was super shifty, 'cause my company is against 'non-natural' hair colors and all along I was pretending that I was born with brown hair wtf.



Okies, I can't resist posting a few more narcistic pictures of myself, 'cause it's really rare that I am all white and virginal wtf. More often than not I am clad in crazy psychedalic colors and prints. :P











Moving the furniture in tomorrow! Pray for me that I have hot, muscular burly movers k! :P
But most likely they are banglas wtf.

Am back in Singapore now. :(

Change: the impending fear.

I wouldn't need to go to work today if I was in KL. :(

*****************************************

Thank you for all you people who did my shoe poll!! :)))
The results were quite half-half (*in denial wtf*), so it was a judgment call, haha. Keep a lookout to see the outcome of your votes wtf.
(and ehhh seriously, which ones of you are the one who voted yes or no!! I am damn curious. :P)



Posting some pictures from my previous weekend back home, 'cause I will be going home tomorrow-- and going home means more batches of pictures! :P After which KL pictures would go through a dry spell 'cause I won't be going home for about 3 weeks. T_T





As promised, a picture of my new sunnies! :)
I think I perched it a little too high on my nose ('cause I was rushing wtf), so I looked like a scuba diver with goggles on. T_T




Wearing this gorgeous champagne-colored satin headband with mini gold studs. It was an amazing find! :) Got it along with this other lovely vintage wooden hand-painted headband. Aaah, begone, boring Diva hairbands! :P

Jing damn stupid (and blind), she called this a 'ostrich' headband, 'cause it looks like ostrich leather. -___-


EH BTW did you know that a ostrich leather Chanel 2.55 bag would cost you SGD55k!!!!!!!
DAMN FREAKING EXPENSIVE RIGHT!! I almost died when I saw it.



Ok, moving on to more affordable things wtf.


Affordable, but priceless.

Meeting up with Smalls! :)
'Cause I miss this miniature woman with a voice louder than a kingdom of crows so much-- spending 2 days in S'pore 1 month ago was NOT enough!
That, and pressure from her, 'cause she insisted that I only go back to KL for junkyard sales. T_T And that the only way to meet me is to go to junkyard sales. T__T


Err, only one picture of us in Paddington's House of Pancakes. I took like, 3 pictures of Chris who was there as well, but the pictures have all mysteriously disappeared!
My camera doesn't like boys ar.








Outfit! I call this... birthday suit, 'cause all nude wtf.

Wearing a really pretty sheer beaded top which I stole from my mom's wardrobe, tweed wool cuffed shorts, and a brand new pair of nude-colored patent platform pumps. Which oddly enough, is really comfortable, but it killed ONE toe of mine. Not one toe from each feet, just the toe on my right. WHY???






I added my hairstylist on MSN so that we can discuss what to do to my hair. Why am I like this! T___T

Ya ya, I will be doing my hair on Wednesday. Since I will be back and no one is free to accompany me during the day (everyone is either at school or work), I thought I might as well do something productive wtf. I am starting on the hate-my-hair phase again anyway (which is why most of the time my hair is up), so it's time.

Anyway! Yen (my hairstylist) said that she will straighten my hair + dye it and it won't kill my hair! Her exact words were: "If I do it, it will be ok" Damn cocky right! :P But I like that in a woman wtf.


I am so shallow sometimes I hate myself. My biggest worry is that if she straightens my hair on Wednesday, what hairstyle can I do for Mambo on the same night!!! ('cause after rebonding, you're not supposed to tie/clip/curl/basically do anything to your hair). I have the perfect outfit to go with the perfect hair accessory, but now the option is thrown out of the window! Life is so hard wtf.



***************************************

I got all my furniture already!:)))
FINALLY after making so many trips, I paid for everything at Ikea yesterday.

I swear to god, my heart bled a little when I swiped my debit card for the crazy-ass amount. Crazy for only 2-months of salary!! And for what is essentially a big pile of wood wtf.

I get so emo when I think of all the pretty clothes and bags I could get with the amount. It's like I paid so much, but there was no satisfaction in spending, sigh. Retail therapy gone wrong wtf.


But I did feel very, very grown-up though. :) In my entire life, I have shifted-house 3 times (excluding aussie), and each time, daddy and mommy and the muscular movers would do all the work, I just needed to make sure that all my barbie dolls came along with me. Even in Melbourne, we had friends to help us move in/out every single time.

But this time around, I did everything by myself. From choosing the furniture from a catalogue, to picking them out in the showrooms, to picking/loading them myself, to liaising with the delivery guys... The bulk of the work will come this weekend though, which is when the furniture and my stuff would be moved in.

I am really afraid of Sunday-- the day when I will move in my belongings. I have only been in S'pore for 2 months, and I have collected so so so much things. Mostly shopping, I am ashamed to admit. =/ My aunt and my cousins have expressed their shock (and disgust wtf) at the sheer volume of things I have, and they worry for me too, come Sunday. T_T


But most of all, I fear of... moving to a new place. When I express this to people, they go "But why?" But it's still another new phase. Another place to call 'home'. While I am slightly excited about having my own proper room (all the decorating and making the place mine), I am just nervous and weary, I guess. New location, new transport routes,new people to stay with, and so many more.

I am looking forward to sorting out my wardrobe though! I have been living out of my suitcases. :(

What I wore to Ikea yesterday.


No lovey-dovey M'sia post this year, but hey, check out the colors of my outfit! I didn't notice how patriotic I was!! :P
I think my subconscious wanted to scream out its love for M'sia. ;)

Click here for last year's lovey dovey patriotic post.
1 year has passed????
It felt really strange looking at the new batch of Merdeka night clubbing pictures this year-- without me. :(





On another note, I bought 100 hangers yesterday, haha.
