Here's a picture to let you guys see what we had done!

Jap Anime~!
I'm truly not a Japanese Anime fan...
Neither will i craze over the scenerios happening between the characters...
But then, i must say... i'm starting to 'fall-in-love' with this anime that was introduced to me by Miss Elephoon... The Ouran High School Host Club~~!!

Okaez, at 1st wasn't really that interested... each episode has got onli like 3 parts... i can take one week to finish it... but well, as i watched over the weeks... i'm starting to like it...
Have been secretly watching it at youtube during office hours, erm of coz when i'm free oso la... shhhhhh... hahahaha...
The network at home is really too slow as compared to office... thus can't blame me for feeling tempted to watch it during office hours oso ritez... hahaha...
The best thing is that i'm actualli feeling the pinch frm my heart as i watch how the lord of the host club taking carez of the gal he likes... hahaha... die die...
Feeling too free? catch it ba if u like those sweet cutie anime... heez...

It's not easy~!

It's not easy to do things that pleases everyone...
But i don't understand why it's always me that ended up feeling so wronged for rejecting, getting the feeling that people's angry with me just because i say 'No'...
Does that mean i cannot reject one's offer/suggestions/etc...?
I don't seem to have some privileges like all other humans have - to say No, I don't want, I cannot, from some of you ya...
Is not as if i don't want to enjoy myself rightz... especially when that's something i liked most...
Aniwayz, suan le...
just wana 'say' it out in my own space to let myself feels better...

S'pore Fashion Week~!

Grumble: I had a very hard time trying to post tis entry up since yesterday... grrr... finally it's okaez now...

Part 1: Nov 04 ~ 7.00p.m (Raffles City)

My first time sitting in a VIP normal area to watch a Fashion Show ya...
The Asian Young Fashion Designers Contest~!



All thanks to Ju and her friend for the invites!!
Wasn't very 'free' during the show ya...
Gotta get ready to video our friend's collection...
My first attempt in video-ing a FASHION show, where models will be walking around...
Seriously, I was pretty stress... Didn't know who to follow as they were all around the stage... sobz... did an AWFUL job... really wana pui myself... hahaha...
I will embed the video here when I got it to let u guys see how lousy I am ya... haiz...
But then, even though without the video I think our friend will still remember these precious moments of his in his mind also right... (Trying to make myself feel abit better... OOoOoops)

Because~~~ He won the 2nd-runner up ya!! Congrats~~~~ (competing with other 9 young designers)

P.S>> at the end of the 2hrs plus show, my butt numbed ya... heez

Oh ya~~... got a pretty cool gift too...



























Let me introduce this phone pouch to all of you...
Its tag wrote "This phone pouch contains stainless steel fibers evenly weaved throughout the fabric to shield you from electronmagnetic radiation"
Something new right~~ or isitz I mountain tortoise? Heez...

Part 2: Nov 04 ~ 10.00p.m (Zouk)

Our initial plan was to go somewhere to satisfy our stomach with our all-time favourite - ice-cream~~!!!!
Just before everything, Ju managed to get VIP invites again for the closing party at Zouk...
Impromptu plan for the night~~ the feeling's quite exciting ya~~
So, we headed down to Zouk for our next party session~~
Saw Patricia Mok, David Gan and Irene Ang there ya... heez
Oh ya, bump into my long-lost contact friend too... she was there for the show but without having to get into the VIP area where free flow of Champagne was served to the guests~!!!!
She was kinda of shock when she heard where I'm working at... Well, educational field doesn't have much link with fashion ya...
All thanks to Ju, if not I won't have the chance to be there and feel so VIP for a night... wahaha... All thanks to Ju's friend for giving us the VIP invites for the Zouk party as she was working with the co that organizes this year SFW events... All thanks to MH for participating in the contest, he plays a little part for our impromptu party... haha... Last but not least thanks Jas Ho for accompanying me while our dear friend was busying PR-ing... hahaha... Oh ya, and her bf who joined us at Zouk too~~

P.S>> My legs were aching having to stand for another 2hrs... heez

Part 3: Nov 04 ~ 12.00a.m (Supper @ River Valley Rd)

All of us were tired...
And Jas was feeling hungry ever since we reached Zouk...
So next is our Prata Session @ river valley...
Before we decided to walk from Zouk to River Valley, we were at the roadside waiting for cab... None of them stopped for us, all becoz most of the cabbies are waiting for the clock to strike midnight... oh man... and well, my two darlings were still sitting down on the pavement playing "Scissors, Paper, Stone"!!!! *faintz*

Finally managed to hail a cab when we've walked half-way through from our destination... grrr...
Hungry Hungry~~~ Here's wat we had~~
Each of us ordered a drink then a beehoon goreng to share, one cheese prata for jas, one egg prata for myself, 1 plain and 1 egg+onion prata for ju and 2 egg+onion prates for Jas's bf...
Only, Jas and her bf managed to finish their prata...
The winner for the Supper will be announced when I've got the pictures... hahaha... Is a close fight between Jas and her Bf...

Stay Tuned~!
