This Caucasian man was found drunk and lying on the street of Orchard road this evening at 6pm.

Security Guard: Are you ok sir?

Man: F*** off!

Security Guard: Don’t drink so much next time lah~

Man: F*** OFF!

Security Guard: Ignored him and continued with his work controlling the traffic.

It must be a F***ED Up Day for him.

I finally bought my CNY clothes. I hope my mum won’t frown upon my black and white assembly.

I have signed up for a 1.2k membership with Amore. He subsidized part of the cost and demanded my tummy be gone by the end of this year.

YAY. I am one step closer to my first Twenty Ten Resolution – To be lean and healthy. Procrastinator-self be gone!

If you see that I am blogging less, it means I am working my ass off at Amore. GRR.

We had an awesome “Sister Day” planned out by Janet! It was fun and exciting!

First stop.

A simple meal at Old Town! Thereafter, we had to choose the second activities based on the given hints. There were 3 activities to choose from, “Option A – We will be happy”, “Option B – We will be very happy” or “Option C – Bitter before sweetness”. In unison we chose B!

Janet even prepared a  gift for all sisters! How sweet!

Second stop.

Option B led us to Nail Palace for a manicure session!! I love manicure!

Make a guess which is mine! HAH.

No prize for guessing it right! I love red lacquer!It elongates my fingers, makes my skin seems fairer and ooh I love red lacquer!

Last stop.

Ice cream! Seventh Heaven ice cream for seven girls! We each picked a flavor! Haagen Dazs never disappoints! YUM!

We were practically “handicap” after our manicure!

We ended the night with a mini birthday celebration for Eunice! Happy Birthday Sister!

Thank you Janet for organizing our sister day!

Just added a stats counter which showed the number of hits since last August. How pathetic. HAH.

You must have heard about the woos and boos of the latest gadget – iPad – otherwise I’ll suggest that you relocation yourself to Mars! iPad was launch yesterday with much anticipation but instead of hearing cheers from fans, the launch left many fans disappointed. Some even started giving it names like “iPod on steroids” and even linking it to its “counterpart” iTampon. YIKES.

I love iPad! I mean, what’s not to love about the ease of reading blogs, surfing net and playing online games wirelessly and on a much wider screen with a 10 hour battery life. This means I won’t have to lug my 2kg laptop around looking for the nearest available power point to feed my electricity-guzzling machine! Isn’t that awesome! Alright! I must agree. Its name is neither sophisticated nor chic but surely the style and pleasure of using an iPad more than compensate its name?

Someone showed me this link, a spoof of iPad by Mad TV on youtube. It was disturbing. Guys seriously don’t understand the discomfort/pain we go through every month do they! Half the time I was squirming rather than laughing. YIKES.

Was supposed to get CNY clothes but came home with a bag and shoes instead!

elegance by kathleen tessaro
A frumpy, depressed woman (Louise Canova) metamorphosized into a confident diva in Tessaro’s novel, thanks to a 40-year-old style manual (A Guide to Elegance by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux) found in a second-hand bookstore. An interesting novel which presented snippets of interesting style tips! I love Tessaro’s classy and witty novel and Madame Dariaux’s timeless style tips that are relevant (and sensible) till this day!

Here are some of my favourite tips featured in the novel!

On Accessories
“Be strict with yourself. Save. Economize on food if you must (believe me, it will do you good!) but not on your handbags or shoes. Refuse to be seduced by anything that isn’t first rate.”

Makeup
“… some beauties are born, most of us are made. Make-up is a kind of cloting for the face, and in the city a woman would no more think of showing herself make-up than she would care to walk down the street completely undressed.”

On Weight
“I recommend that you weigh not just yourself but your priorities as well. After all, God made you the way you are and there is no point fighting nature to the extent that you alienate all your friends and family with endless rules and regulations concerning what you can and cannot eat. Being slender is undoubtedly elegant but neurotic self-obsession is NOT.”

I am so going to get my hands on Madame Dariaux’s style guide!

Amandina came up with a new site, Little + Kilda , to help hopeless shopaholics like many of us!

little kilda

“Ever bought something online that doesn’t quite fit? Or made an impulse purchase that you posthumously realized you would never wear? Little + Kilda is the perfect place for you to give your threads a new lease of life and free up some closet space!”

- Little + Kilda

I love this idea and I saw some cute stuff from Little + Kilda! But they are mostly in minuscule XS size! HMPH. Amandina and sister are tiny people! I’m just hoping more of her regular size friends will go surrender some cute stuff too! And by regular I meant size S or M not XS! Oh. It’s supposed to help shopaholics to earn some quick bucks by letting go some of those impulse purchases but it seems that I will be on the spending end of this “business” model. HMPH. Oh. In case you’re wondering, she’s not earning any commission!
