1. I brought The Dress to another tailor at FEP, and she told me I had to go buy the fabric myself. So I headed to Spotlight and got some of this really nice deep purple fabric- 35% cotton, 25% elastane, 40% polyester, for $50.

It has to be slightly stretchy because the dress is very figure- hugging! The fabric is also slightly glossy, so it looks a bit like satin. I think it will turn out really nice!! :D And oh yes, no long sleeves. I find it a bit OTT and extra, so its just the puff sleeves. :)

(There are other colors like silvery grey and light olive which I think will look splendid too. Might consider making a second one in a different color! I think silvery white will look very nice too, if I can find that color. Hmmm.)

Will be ready in a week plus. Will post photos then! :)

2. I went to Sushi Tei for lunch, my usual- Tamago sushi, California Mini Maki and Ebi Tempura Maki. Yums.

3. Its Friday again!!

4. Foxy and I are prolly going to MOS tomorrow night. I have never been to MOS. (Dont laugh.) I might just go and take a look. Still prefer Velvet and Balaclava though. (Okay I think Im old!!)

5. My period just came. Shucks. No wonder I feel so tired today. *slumps*

Off to nap...!

Have a great weekend everyone!! :)

Very few things can get me out of bed early in the morning.

This can:

Ooh! McGriddles. Its quite yummy! :D

I love McDonalds breakfast!!! I love hotcakes with lots of butter and syrup, sausage mcmuffin w egg, big breakfast!!

If you are handsome and you are willing to buy me McDonalds breakfast every morning, I will marry you. LOL..

I cannot stand bad English!

2008-05-14T09:48:05Z

The common mistakes in English and writing which are really annoying:

1. Adding "S" when its not necessary, and leaving it out when it is.

"I wants to go to the beach."

"You wants this?"

"She want to complain about her boss."

"Can we be friend?"

"This weekends..."

"We wants to go for seafood."

2. Present tense and past tense confusion.

" Last night we are deciding where to go for dinner."

"She used to visited this hair salon."

"I used to went there."

"My trip is really fun."

3. Spelling mistakes:

Recieve.

Diarheoa.

Arguement.

And many more.

When in doubt, please consult www.dictionary.com. I do.

4. Wrong pronunciation:

Lingerie. I cringe everytime I hear someone say "Ling-ger-ree". Its "Lon-jer-ray." Please dont spoil such a sexy word. "Darling.. I wear LING GER REE for yew tonight okaaaaay??"

Yeah, now you see what I mean.

Croissant. Its "Cro- Sont". I hear this word butchered everytime I go to Delifrance. Say it the wrong way in France and get ready to get bitch-slapped. I hear the French are real anal and proud of their language.

5. Using too many "and".

"I bought a blue top and a pink blouse and a purple eyeshadow and a white bag and my engrish is really bad."

Yes, I agree.

6. Using Caps when not necessary and writing in alternate caps.

"I feel so Tired."

"hI mY nAmE iS rEtArD aNd I lIKe To tYpe LiKe ThIs."

7. General mistakes in sentence structure and grammar.

I dont know how to give examples for this one. But I shall take an extract from Patricia Mok's blog.

"This is the new pleated halter neck scarf dress....and fit me to a T!! It make me look very elegent and with the right hair-do, make-up & heels, it can take me to any dinner or a date (if i have lor). And best of all, any of the scarf dresses can also be a beach-wear, get wet & dry easily.....BEST to wear for a beach party and it also goes well with a beauitful pair of sandals...."

*cough* I read her blog, I want to vomit blood.

http://www.xueshasha.com/

This one also. But she's inconsistent. Sometimes she writes okay, sometimes not okay. But she's like from China, so.... whatever. *shrug*

I can easily find a few more blogs with horrible English, but I shant do that. Haha. You get the picture!

Oh man. There is this bimbo "model" blogger who claims to have an aggregate of 13 for her O levels but her English is so bad, so maybe she got like D7 for English and A1 for every other subject!

I bet she is one of those girls who never read books- only fashion magazines. Mention books and then they go really wide-eyed and say, "Huuuh? Books?" Yeah you know, books?

Oh I used to have a colleague who has no idea who is Lee Kuan Yew. Yes WTF. And I know of another girl who doesnt know how to spell "hamster".

I really wonder if these people went to school, you know.

8. Using * * in the wrong way.

* * are to show actions or sometimes feelings. Examples:

*cough*

*smiles*

*laughs*

*nervous*

*worried*

NOT...

*i also dont know why she's like that..blah blah blah..actually...I am very upset*

There's something called brackets. ( Like this!)

----

I get really annoyed at bad English. Maybe I should go be a teacher instead. Wahahaa. =p

Hey

prisc I had this crazy idea to join NIE... Haha! O levels can or not? I think I will enjoy teaching Primary 1 kids, so blur and cute! :D

Anway... Feel free to add to my list!!

Oh my..

2008-05-14T06:31:35Z

I just received not one but two messages in Facebook, which both mention my blog:

Hi Ya,

I think you're slightly crazy (in a great way), and awfully adorable. I actually like reading your blog - its amazing how you can describe shopping in such detail... i feel like I was there carrying your shopping bags! :P

You're also very beautiful. :) I'd be a lying hypocritical scumbag if I didn't mention that outright. So there it is. Anyways good luck with your blog (its makes good reading) and I kinda hope we actually cross paths someday ;)

Cheers,
Natt

just a show of appreciation for a really honest and blunt blog...

hey, this is Kelvin here.
happen to chance upon ur blog and i must say its really nice to have someone who's brave enough to air her views on men and their thoughts without bothering to hear their opinions..

ur daily entires on life as a whole really bodes well with me...real and fucking dry at times...ha ha!

glad u enjoyed the ice cream...i'm so into rum and raisins...
cheers!

P/s: you've got another fan added to ur blog...keep it up!
old man like me need some dry humour and really good wit to make me laugh!

WOW. I must say I am very surprised that there are people out there who actually enjoy reading my blog. I just think I am full of crap. Lol. Anyway.....to all of my 10 readers out there, thanks for reading! Makes me real happy to know that my blog provides some stress-relief to your day!

:))

Ice cream, I lub you deep deep.

2008-05-13T13:19:01Z

I swallowed a whole tub of ice cream in the past week and now my favorite tube top is too tight. Sweet.

Time for a new tub of ice cream!! :D

Never study English ar?

2008-05-13T11:24:55Z

I received this friend request with a message on Facebook:

"Hi Lynette,

I hope u can add me as ur friend and I would like to be ur friends..." (his exact words)

Bad English alert!!!

Sorry but I no want to friend you.

I tend to be very anal about the language, because hey both my parents are uneducated and illiterate, and if I can make the effort to learn proper English, why should anyone get away with bad English?

I think I will want to post an entry about the common mistakes in English people make! So irritating. For the last time, there is no such word as "irregardless", some people can still say it with such aplomb to sound important. Hah, I want to laugh.

Nice Monday

2008-05-12T19:31:42Z

Its a nice Monday!

I went to meet

inex aka Jean for dinner, and drinks! :)

Before leaving the house...

(Yes, I am having a lot of fun with Photoshop. Hee.)

I went walking around before meeting her, and I got her a naughty gift. Heee! =p

We went to eat Pepper Lunch. I love beef pepper rice. :D Its her first time eating Pepper Lunch lor! She says seeing the raw tau gey turns her off. Hahaha, so cute!

The outlet at Taka seems to be better than the one at Shaw Centre. I ate there once..and that was the last time. Urgh.

We walk around Taka, and sniff around cosmetic counters. We ooh-ed and aah-ed over how fine the Chanel foundation is. Didnt buy anything, cos... well I ran out of things to buy. Haha. =x Its not my birthday anymore, so I have to stop shopping. :(

We head to Coffee Club for some drinks...

Our faves- Iced Earl Vanilla.. :))

I went to take passport-sized photos... But its not nice! :(

Think I will go and take again. Zoom in a bit more and I need to sit higher a bit! Damn Im short. :((

I wanna go change my IC, my IC photo looks HIDEOUS. I swear to God my IC photo is the ugliest in Singapore. If you think yours is bad, trust me, mine is worse. I would show it here..but I dont want anyone to lose their lunch on the keyboard. Haaa.

ANYWAY! Its very nice to see Jean today laa! Her loving hubby came to pick her around 9pm so she had to scurry off and dump me.. But its okay. Lets meet up again soon! I have to steal you away from your hubby again. Mwahahaha.

:D

Weekend shopping

2008-05-12T07:34:53Z

Saturday:

Went to Orchard MRT to collect my lingerie from the spree organiser. We ordered the stuff in Febuary, its about time huh. She claims that there were some shipping issues. Even if she shipped the items from North Pole, they would have arrived already.

She is.....*speechless* She only emailed us about the meet-up like the night before, so its less than 12 hours notice. WTF. She asked for my LJ nick, and I told her. She looked anxious, dug around the paper bags and told me maybe my items are not there.

"But I came down specially just to collect my items, you know?" I was starting to get pissed.

Then she asked me for my email, and I told her. "Oh oh! Your items are here." And she passed one paper bag to me. I looked inside, and they were mine alright. Tsk.

BUT she forgot to bring Foxy's stuff. Even though I did tell her we were both gonna collect our items together. Tsk!

And she could still give some lame excuse like she left the items in the car. So I asked where the car is parked. She said its parked "very far away". Oh riiiight, you parked it so far away, and then you walk all the way in the hot sun to Orchard MRT? *rolls eyes* Forget to bring, just be honest and say so lar.

I dont usually go out on weekends because I hate crowds so much. I NEVER shop at sales, because honestly I'd rather pay more, than have to squeeze, push and dig around the clothes with 2000 other girls. Its like going to war. If you have seen a Mango sale before, you'll know what I mean. I hate Mango. Urgh. The clothes are always too big for me anyway.

Light pink and light turqoise tops from Cotton On. 2 for $20- very light, comfy and nice to wear. I now have 6 in different colors- White, grey, pink, purple, light pink, light turqoise. Wahaha.

The blue ribbed tank, black and mauve tank tops are from Forever21. I love the basic tanks from there, because they are flattering and are very comfy. Only $11. The blue ribbed tank is long enough to be a mini dress for me! One of the few perks of being tiny. :))

And nice bras on sale. 2 bras + 3 undies= $50. Very good deal, no? (Bear in mind that an average Triumph bra costs $59.90- $79.90.) I think its absurd to pay so much for something which only covers your boobs. X_X

--
Sunday:

I was gonna stay at home. Because Sundays are even worse, due to all the maids adding to the crowds on their off day. Its almost impossible to get on the bus during evening time because thats when they need to go home. Doesnt help that most of them are going back to the same area as me!!

But I was so bored, I decided to go out anyway. I wanted to get a nail magazine. So I went to Kinokuniya. (Somehow I ALWAYS get lost inside and cant find my way out. WTF.)

Nail Up + Some Taiwanese fashion magazine.

I love this kind of look- Long long hair, fair fair skin, big big eyes, sweet sweet smile. If Im a guy, I will so totally have the hots for Vivian Hsu. SO OMG CHIO. She only needs to smile and blink for guys to go weak in the knees.

I can never resist walking into Body Shop, because I am a sucker for nice smells. I bought my fave lipbalm and lavender oil to use on my burner. This lipbalm is sooo good. Its very moisturising, without being sticky. It leaves a nice glossy rosy color on lips and smells very nice and fruity. V nice! Been using it since....7 years ago. Haha.

So at night I was cuddled in bed with Kooky and 007, flipping my magazines before going to bed. :)

Have a great week ahead! :))

Font size is already 72pts, the maximum. But still so small?! :( I already Ctrl-Alt-I to resize the image to 70% of original size.

I think I need to take a PS 101 course. Sigh.

ORHHH can liao can liao!! Hehe. =p

Mixed feelings

2008-05-11T04:19:49Z

So D told me about the enbloc thing a couple of days ago.

Our (very old) apartment is finally up for enbloc, and this whole place including the plaza will be demolished. (I wonder who's the rich fucker who can afford to enbloc this place!?)

Chances are we will all need to move out next year. Hopefully property prices will drop further and be more stable by then. Sigh. I think I will wanna rent a small apartment to stay alone. A studio apartment will be fine too. Probably somewhere around here, because I am so used to staying in this area!!

But then again, I might consider good locations in say, Toa Payoh, AMK, Newton, and maybe East side too. As long as it doesnt take too long to travel to town!

Private or HDB are both fine with me, but according to personal experience, I've learnt that HDB flats/ rooms for rent are always... in rather dismal condition. And not much cheaper either. I would be happy to pay a bit more to stay in a better place. Afterall Im always at home, I like to stay at home! Im a homely piglet. Haha.

---

Even though I am sad that I have to leave this place, but at the same time Im also excited. Because if I rent a room which is empty and not furnished, I can buy my own furniture!! And I can have a Princess Room too. Hee hee. :D I can already imagine all the stuff I want from Ikea... Wheee!

Oh well. At least Im mentally prepared. I guess I have to do some spring cleaning soon, and throw away all the junk, and give away the clothes I dont wear anymore.

I will miss this place though. The Yong Tau Foo and chicken rice stall downstairs, NTUC, clinic, facial salon, hair salon.....basically everything I need is here.

Sigh. Good things never last for very long.. :(

God can you hear me?

2008-05-09T19:04:49Z

Sigh.

Sometimes I feel so dejected with humankind. Whats wrong with people, man?

I need some peace.

TGIF

2008-05-09T14:00:49Z

I love my Majolica Majorca eyeshadow! :)

(Damn Im getting good at Photoshop ar! Wahahaa...!)

Very chocolicious rocky road chocolate from dear geekette

Thank God for great friends!! :)

Have a wonderful weekend... !

[Post deleted.]

I started this new blog because I wanted a fresh start and I want this blog to be a happy one.

strawberrydots @ 2008-05-09T15:02:00

2008-05-09T07:15:24Z

So I went to buy lunch downstairs.. and as I was walking back, I heard someone running after me and calling out to me frantically.

"Hey..! Hey...!!"

I thought I dropped something or what. So I turned around and saw this Indian man with big earrings, carrying some NTUC bags.

I looked at him, perplexed.

"Uhh... Just want to tell you that you look good."

Me: "............... Oh. Okay." *runs away*

What the.... ?!?!?

And this is not the first time. Some time ago, I was also walking back to my apartment when a Malay guy ran after me to ask if he can be my friend. I said no, and walked away. Do I look like Im so desperate for friends, that I am willing to befriend any Tom, Dick or Harry along the streets?!

P.S: For those super anal who want to accuse me of being racist... If its an angmoh guy who ran after me, I will say its an angmoh guy. If its an Indian or Malay guy, I will say its an Indian or Malay guy. If its a Chinese guy, I will say "that stupid guy". Ok?

Very yummy chicken porridge from the chicken rice stall downstairs. I put a lot of spring onions, and pepper! Mmmm! =p

Nowadays I eat it every Sat and Sun for lunch without fail... because they only sell it on weekends. I requested the uncle to sell everyday, but he says not enough people to buy on weekdays, so end up they throw away a lot of it, very wasted! :(

I only eat porridge from two places- this chicken rice stall and congee from Crystal Jade. I LOVE CRYSTAL JADE CONGEE. Ok major craving now.

I used my Tangs vouchers to buy THIS! Hehe. Chanel foundation. $82. I think I kinda regret buying this, should have got the whitening one instead. But I like the black case more. You cant have everything huh.

I wanted to get Escada Moon Sparkle perfume too, but Tangs dont carry Escada. :( Now I still have $20 vouchers and I dont know what else I can buy. Haha.

Perfume miniatures from A. I love the J'adore one. Very feminine. For some reason I cant open the other two!! Sigh.

Post birthday

2008-05-04T13:24:32Z

And just like that...my birthday is over. Have to wait another year to have birthday again. Next year is 26th birthday! WTF! *screams in horror*

Nonetheless, I had a good one this year. :)

Thank you S... for flying here to celebrate with me and making my birthday extra special. I am very happy and this is the best birthday I've had...You are too sweet, as always.

*kisses*

Saturday night at Zouk....

2008-05-04T11:02:16Z

Eve, Ling and me!

Can you believe its been like 2 years since I last went to a club??

(Uh I went to St James a couple of times, but its only just to go up to Mono.)

This is my first time to Zouk since the renovation. YES, ITS BEEN THAT LONG!

I seriously think Im too old for this clubbing shit.

Before the movie, we went to have drinks at Coffee Club. I like Iced Earl Vanilla! :D We went to watch Ironman at 11.30pm and it was great! I like it! :)

By the time we reached Zouk, was like... 1.45am. Zzzz. Im officially old and old ladies need to sleep early. Sigh.

I dont know if some girls are really stupid...

2008-05-04T06:59:32Z

...or just good at acting blur.

After gossiping about me behind my back, still got the cheek to comment on my blog post and ask why you're not in my friends' list. You were added, but I removed you as soon as I found out what a big-mouthed bitch you are. Why do you wanna read my blog? So that you can gossip some more about me? *snort*

Just FYI, there is nothing shameful about me or what I do. I dont rob, steal or sell my body. So who are you to call me names?

Just in case your head is really THAT thick, your name starts with the letter "L". If you think its you, then you have a guilty conscience, and it means YES IM TALKING ABOUT YOU.

Please kindly:
1) remove me from your friends' list because you are not welcome to read my blog, not even the public posts. The other reason being everytime I see your LJ nick on my user info page, I feel dulan.

2) remove this knife from my back, because chances are you are running out of knives.

Thanks. Now go away and bitch about other people.

Lesson learnt: Never be too friendly and open to people you just met.

Oh I wanted to blog about this for quite a while, but I keep forgetting. Mainly because I've been feeling happy and I dont wanna ruin my mood.

I am very nice to all my good friends. But if you step on my tail, dont blame me for being mean. I am very straightforward and real. Cant say the same for some other people, apparently.

I know I sound like a dao bitch....

2008-05-03T03:53:05Z

but I dont like to make friends with guys, especially if I am attached or consider myself unavailable.

Simply because If I have no romantic interest in you, I cannot be bothered to entertain you (eg. find topics to talk about.. yada yada. Those who's been on a bad date will know how tiring it is to keep coming up with things to say.) I'd rather stay at home and watch DVD alone, really.

I hate it when guys try to add me on Facebook, when I dont even know them.
(There is this bugger with 9 similar camwhoring photos of himself in his profile pic and he wants to be my friend. Gross.)

I hate it when guys I dont know randomly msg me on MSN, asking whether he can know me. (And I dont know how the hell he got my email to add me!)

And I hate it even more when they dont have any photo of themselves, and dont reveal anything about themselves, and YET keep asking things about me. Are you trying to be friends or conducting an interview? Either way, Im not interested. Go away.

I only have friendship to offer. And THAT IS if you are reasonably okay looking, and okay as a person, and you DO NOT try to perve on me in ANY WAY. Otherwise I go POOF! And you will be blocked and deleted from every social networking tool there is, that I have.

There is simply no way you can ever get the wrong idea, because if I dont like you, I wont even talk to you. Im not ~~a cock tease~~ the slutty kind of girl who enjoys leading guys on.

Sorry. But there is only one of me, and too many of you trying to get into my pants. And its irritating the shit out of me.

P.S: Now I know some of you who hate me out there will be rolling your eyes and thinking, "Wah lau you think you so hot meh? You think many guys like you?" I dont think, I KNOW. And we all know guys will chase anything in a skirt, as long as ~~her face is not kena lorry buang~~ she's not too ugly. So I am not being BHB. Period.

The birthday post

2008-05-01T16:06:16Z

2nd May 1983:

My mother's blood pressure was too high, and the doctor told her she needs to have an emergency C section, or else we will both be in danger. So they cut her tummy open and took me out. I was only 26 weeks old, and weighed less than 2 pounds.

My breathing and heartbeat kept stopping because I was too weak. My mouth was too small, they couldnt feed me normally. So a tube was put into my nose and I was fed milk through that tube. The doctors told my parents to prepare for the worst because I only had a 10% chance of survival.

I was so tiny, I could be carried with only one arm. My daddy told me he went to visit me everyday before and after work. Every day that I was still alive, was a relief to everyone around.

I was in the incubator for 3 months, before I was finally strong enough to go home.

---

Bigger. And smiling! :)

Still smiling! :))

Still smiling. Even though I was fucking ugly. Eeeee.

Fast forward to .......2nd May 2008:

25 years later.. I am still alive!! Woohoo!!

25 years old now. Fuck I feel old.

Please feel free to send me botox vouchers and crates of bird's nest! Thankyouverymuch.

2008-05-01T14:52:15Z

My favorites! I love the barley one. Also got wintermelon inside, so its very cooling. Perfect for the hot weather lately! I drink one whole carton in one day.

I dont really like to drink water. >.< I like Pink Dolphin water!!

I woke up and saw them like this next to me! Hahaha so funny! Soft toys need to sleep too?!

Wake up wake up!! *grumble grumble*

I am having a lot of fun with Photoshop brushes, as you can see! Heh!

Its May already? Shit.

I tidied up my room today.. and mopped the floor. I cant stand seeing hairs on the floor!! Urgh. Very clean now. :) But I still have a lot of stuff!

$100 Tangs vouchers! Wheeeee~ Im going shopping tomorrow! :D :D :D

To all the girls out there...

2008-05-01T10:17:50Z

I have seen too many girls sticking to their BFs even when they are not very nice guys. And I myself, have also done the same in the past. I was with BY for 2 years, and I was with A for two years as well.

Credits to Stickgal.

With A, the first year was good. Although the first 6 months he wasnt around, he was in Australia finishing the last lap of his training. I spent so much money on calling cards, so that we could chat on the phone for hours every night. It was very sweet. I was broke, but very happy.

Unfortunately I cant say the same for the second year of the relationship. After I started the business, it got worse. We drifted apart because he was not around half the time, and I was always busy all the time. I dont blame him anymore, for the failure of the relationship, because well..some pepple are just not meant to be together. I just hope he's happy now, afterall everyone is entitled to happiness.

But I wish I ended these relationships earlier, because even when I already knew it wasnt going anywhere, I refused to give up. And you know girls are usually very soft-hearted. After a quarrel, he apologises, treats you well again, and you think you should give him another chance because afterall you already been through so much. Im sure many girls can relate to this.

BUT what Im trying to say here is... Dont waste your precious youth on men who are not worth it. There are so many of them out there, and there's bound to be someone who will treat you better, cherish you more and love you like a princess.

Every girl deserves to find their Prince Charming, who will treat them like a Princess!

Bottom line is, if you keep sticking to Mr Not-So-Right, you will never find Mr Right. Now, isnt that a horrifying thought?

BE STRONG GIRLS! If he's not good to you, always makes you cry, always makes you angry... DUMP HIM. If he's a lousy BF, chances are he will be a lousy husband. And then the rest of your life will be fucked. Please dont allow that to happen, my dears.

Credits to Stickgal.

I'd rather be alone, than be with a lousy guy lor.

This is so pretty OMG!! I saw this cosmetics counter in Japan, but I didnt buy. ~~Because I already have shitloads of makeup.~~ A girl can never have enough makeup!

I want to go Japan...............!! Hey foxyseven , lets go to Japan to be..ahem models... *cough*, and come back in 5 years fucking rich and speaking perfect Japanese. Wahaha. =D

Holiday eve...

2008-04-30T17:43:38Z

I had Caesar salad with breaded chicken, with extra egg, hot fries and one scoop Thin Mint ice cream! Yum. :D

Then I came home and ate maggi mee, with sharksfin soup. Lol!

3 of us! Merleen and Meihuey couldnt make it because they were working OT. Aiyo! So poor thing!

I look tired... -_x

My nails are hideous. All along they are ugly, so I just kept them short. (And I always clean and wash a lot of stuff, so doesnt make sense to do manicures on myself!)

Recently I started doing acrylic nails. And they looked fantastic, until I removed the acrylic. Now my nails are horribly thin. And I have to wait another 3-4 weeks before I can "torture" them with acrylic again. Sigh. So I just painted them a pretty pink, and added crystals. Better than nothing lor! =/

I want to watch movie tomorrow, BUT THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL IS NO LONGER SHOWING!!? UNTRACEABLE ALSO NO MORE?! WTF!

Oh ya, its SUCH a bitch coming home at night on a holiday eve. No cabs. Have to take train to Clementi and take cab from there. But still had to wait for like half an hour! This is why I always hide at home during weekends and public holiday eves. Cannot stand crowds. Urgh!!
