New York Thanksgiving SALE!

Karma - I do believe in it.

What goes around comes around. Ah huh.

Not only in afterlife, but the present as well.

I mean not only certain things when I say this.

It relates to many areas in life, the little things we do.

Perceptions.



OK!!!!! I'm damn GLAD To be back!!!

I don't know why but it's the FIRST Time i feel i've been away for too long!!

First time also being happy to be in a warm climate country...

N not too hot also since it's raining away..




I was still quite sick when I reached Frankfurt.. so I couped myself in the hotel room...

There, my DVD player, tissue box and jacket accompanied me!

Apparently, there're some legal issues with electrical appliances in the room, like need some licence or sth, so there's NO kettle!

If we want boiling water, we got to pay E$1.60!
But cos I was sick, I get it for FREE! haha *idea*




Ok la, take some sights of Frankfurt from my room to show you!

Personally, I feel there's nothing much to do here, always quite boring.. Somemore now quite cold..

Good for me to save though.. heh

There's the famous Giottos choco though.. and the Wines and Birkenstock shoes here are cheap!

But since i didn't head out this time, so din get any...




Some of my room service orders...

E$3.50 (=S$7.20) for a SMALL box of cereal!!!!!!

E$6.50 (= S$13+) for TWO PUNY slices of apple strudel!!!!!!

*smacks forehead*




Colleagues in New York... Was supposed to meet up with an old time friend but he happened to head out of town! bah.




My Indian colleague is KAN cute can! His eyes are just like damn alluring, and his nose is damn sharp!

(Yes, as most of you know and i shall repeat, i majorly have a nose fetish!)

Here we are, taking a walk to a food joint for makan and huddling together cos it's COLD!!!

Took a pic of the famous NYC yellow cab!!

N me just goofing around as usual.. ha

The walk to Sapporo was WAY TOO FAR la!

I honestly think the gal who brought us there wasn't too sure of the route, but oh well!

The food was quite good!!

Luckily it was opened, cos it was Thanksgiving and like MANY places/shops weren't...

Ok we got up DAMN early (5am) the day after Thanksgiving, cos it's BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!

It's the DAY where EVERY THING is on SALE for the MOST reductions!!!

People fly from ALL OVER the WORLD for this can?!!!

Check out the crowd at Macy's! It was goin to open at 6am only TODAY!

Damn cold... There were ICE forming on the streets can...

They even had reporters and television crew filming us! I think no one really bothered..

This group of ladies from North Ireland spoke to me while we were waiting for the doors to open...

They've been here for 3 yrs now and they told me to go to the Vistor's Centre and get some coupon which entitles me ANOTHER 11% discount on MOST items!! Best.

Took a bus to Jersey Gardens... Where things are NOT TAXED!! I came the last time I was here and totally went MAD la!

Didn't take any pics of the place and the shops itself cos TIME was precious! I think this is where my old injury acted up... all the walking!

There were SO MANY people I was SO irritated!!! Honestly, I rather have NO sale and LESS people!

The queues to pay for items took so long! ArgH.

THiS was a bummer cos the INTIAL PLAN was to

1) Not sight see cos it was cold

2) Day one - shop at Jersey Gardens (but no go cos Thanksgiving day n BAD traffic)

3) Day two - shop in the city (in the end we went to Macy's in town and then Jersery Gardens)

4) Day three - shop at Woodsbury Common which has 220 shops that sells good and reasonable priced stuff! (but in the end just walked ard hotel cos cold)

SIGH.

Some of the sights on Day 3 while walking the streets in search of FOOD...

At this point, I was totally BROKE. I had NO more Cash or Credit. Can you imagine? Yes.

Played with items in Bath and Body Works while my colleagues browsed for stuff..

ALL of us got something in the end, YES, including BRoKe old me.. I borrowed 20 USD. *whack*

Went to Duane Reade (like a major supermart) to get some necessities...

N saw.. SEX and the CITY book!! MUST TAKE PIC!!

I was so devoted to the series can?! Shiokanadan.

This was snow in Frankfurt... LIke i mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to check out the Xmas Market..

But in the end didn't largely due to the horrendous cold weather and sprained leg..

Check out some of my buys!!!

Coach! I ALWAYS get something from Coach when i'm in the States cos it's SO MUCH cheaper!!!

I LOVE this Guess? bag!!!! It took me like ONE second to decide to buy it

More Guess? stuff.. Ya la, I like Guess? what!!!

I'd never get FAKE Coach and Guess? stuff lor! Others prolly YA CAN! ha

Got stuff from Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secrets and Sally Hansen!

Still got the stuff i got last time stored somewhere and not used so I am not buying anymore after I use them..

Cos it's a waste of money and I have none. Yeap.

More Victoria's Secrets stuff! Inside the black bags, there're MORE goodies!!

N I got these two bags FREE cos of the amount of things I bought!!

This damn CHIO winter coat!! I'm so gona wear it when I go to Paris in two weeks!

But it ain't water proof though..

Pretty Clothes I got from ALL over... I didn't buy much la cos the queues for trying and paying were too long!

I got a sweet RED dress for 30% discount!

Cos there was some scratch and win thing, and i stood a chance to get from 10% - 30% discount and TADA!!! *beams*

Swargz is back from states too!! N he got me C.S.I tee!!!

YipPee!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE C.S.I!!!!

He also got me ANOTHER Guess? bag!! So Pretty!!

Brrr + Ouch

Got in to Frankfurt from New York today. It was CRAZY over there.

Sales Galore = Crowd. *EEKS*

My flu and cough was still quite bad when I arrived at Frankfurt b4 heading to NYC.
I stayed indoors, it being way too cold outside as well.

Now I'm better, BUT I bloody SPRAINED my foot. It's kinda an old injury. Like my left foot would ache if I walked too much. Must have been the shopping in NYC la!!

Apparently it's bit swollened now n my colleagues got some ice and some cream for me to rub.

It's SNOWING here now and I SO wanted to check out the XMAS market where there'd be nice scenary with nice architecture coupled with the white snow..

But my foot... BUMMER.

I already piled up the moisturiser but the skin on my body and face is still DAMN DRY!! I'm breaking out as well... Win liao lor.

Coming home soon!!!

But I've got deadlines coming up... Oh yay.

ARRRrrrrGH

It was BLOODY MADNESS today!!!!!!!

I think it's just quite amazing that our normal typical consumption of food,
after certain processing, become something intoxicating and harmful to health if consumed in large quantities frequently!

Here in Sg and some places, the amount of alcohol is calculated in terms of percentage.
But in some others, it is in PROOF.
You just have to TIMES the % alcohol by 2.

ie: 50% alcohol = 100 proof

K HAVE FUN!!!

Shall end of with humming the Chicken Little Song! I haven't watched it but the song's damn tickling..

"Ar di ya hee, Ar di ya ha, Ar di ya heh, Ar di ya Ha ha..."

Hahahah

Sniffles

Yes, it's confirmed. I've got the flu. A pretty bad one too. But nah, ain't no Bird flu/dengue or what nots.

It's been raining.

Prolly it added on to my illness.

The monsoon brought by the southwest winds, always pours this time of the year in Sg.

Guess it's cos I never fully recovered from my cough the last time and it kinda snowballed. Bah.

I really shouldn't be doing anything but concentrate on resting till I'm totally well huh.

I stayed home the whole of yesterday,
didn't do any errands or kept appointments.

Found out another galfriend is gona get engaged! Congrats.

I rested. I watched Korean DvDs. Started on "Full House"
I was in bed like 90% of the day.

I need to get better SOON!!!! I've got so many things to do!

Fashion Designer Award

THink I'm down with bit of FLU!!! Pooey.

Ok, i know it has been a month since Fashion Week... But i just received the pics of my friend's designs...

I knew he was in the Young Fashion Designer Competition, but i didn't know how his apparel looked like!

Here it is......




He did menswear.. Made this range ALL by HIMSELF.. Cool huh...




He won 3rd!!!! (Guy on right) Congrats!!!
http://www.singaporesights.com/events/2005.SFW.sfdc.2/index.htm

He's a Merchandiser with C.K now though...


Talking bt men, WHY are there FEWER MALE STRIPCLUBS ard, compared to female ones? Is it really cos of the

1) Genetic reasoning of the male having higher testosterones?
2) Social stigma of accompanying women who actually stepping into such a joint?

COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!

They sld just have such a place together with the upcoming Casino or sth!

I'm sure pple know of the difference b/w women of the past and present.
But they still scared duno what shit. Aiyo.

I read about SO many APGs (aging party gals), they confirm go to such places lor!
It's an expressive form of clean fun i'd say! Not anything particularly sleazy wat..

What's wrong with looking? Doesn't everyone, ESP guys? Sad thing is straight guys CAN' T look at naked guys but straight gals can so look at naked gals N guys! Best.

Maybe i sld open a place like that. I think sure make money wan lor. Wahaha.

Slut

I was pretty annoyed that i was called pretty LAST minute to head to Sydney, instead of the original plan of Bangkok!!

I so wanted to shop in Bangkok and meet my friend who just left for the place on friday...

But oh well, Sydney was good too!! My SLUT sis was there, he drove up from Melbourne just two days back! Wat great timing! N on a weekend too!! I JUST mentioned him on my previous post!

I didn't call anyone initially cos it was exam period for most.. cos my gf was having exams on Sat..

Apparently a childhood friend of mine whom i kinda lost in touch with, is in Sydney! He asked my colleague if i was on the flight with her, came down to my hotel but i wasn't ard! Next time lor..

Too bad i was so freaking tired after the flight, i slept all the way and only met for dinner..




A colleague lent me try a packet of Vogue to smoke! It's looks and taste nice! The box is so puny and the sticks are long, like the same length as Cartier/Virgina Slims but like half the circumference!

I AM VOGUE!




All the times i went to Sydney and ventured around the city area, i NEVER knew there was a tram line JUST above the hotel!

I only realised cos i saw a tram pass while waiting for my friends to pick me up!





My SLUT!!! I was damn happy to see him la!! Oh no no, he ain't no gay or sissy puss, he's just an immoral arse... (yes yes i love you too!) Morality or mortality?? ay? heh

We spent quite abit of the night talking and catching up.. N boy oh.. news galore!




Cos he's so freaking tall, like 1.94m!!!, he had to stoop down quite abit to take a pic with me..

So i shall give all the pple out there the benefit of the doubt.. took a pic of him to show him off properly... YEA RIGHT! :P




Had Thai food with some friends.. I was SO hungz by then!

Wa piangz, the food is HOW SPICY!!! But shiok.. Was real full by the time we were done..




Went to get some mixes and then head to my friend's friend's place for some drinks and to chill...

There was this cute doggie, Scout, and he was playful to the max! Everyone kept on playing with him..

But Slut Sis and I spent more time chatting... :)





Got a ride back from the house owner's bf.. He had to come pick us up cos my friend's car STALLED AGAIN.

He had this cool route navigator thingie in his car! Ok, call me swakoo but i haven't seen it real life before!





GUESS wat's this? the Kettle in the Swisshotel room!

N yeap it's RUSTY too! (of course not as bad as the Auckland one) Yes, i CHECKED it this time BEFORE using it and i jus refused to use it to boil water... urgh.

Plus, the kettle wasn't even IN the room when i first got there, usually it's just sitting on the table...

So i called housekeeping and they took SO long to get to my room,

and when they did, the dude wanted to check if the kettle's really NOT there! like HUH!? i ALREADY said it WASN'T in the room wat?! Crap.




My friend's car stalled so we didn't get Krispy Kreme the night before! But i managed to rush and get a Box of Originals just before I came back to sg!!! HURRAY!!!!!!

It may not look that delicious in pics, but i SWEAR it's the yummiest DOUGHNUT around!!





I like this too! My FAVE malaysian product!!! I don't know wat it really is called yet thou..

No Wonder i'm not getting well la.. eating all this yumz but rather unhealthy food!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can i tell you all, that one of the dvd series i bought from Malaysia is totally not playable!! THEN i realised the discS r scratched!! REFUND!!! HUMPH.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A MILLON THANKS to those who have changed their work schedules with me, so that I have OFF from 8th to 12th dec!!! WHOO HOO!!!! Best!

Je parle un peu Francais

I shall NOT start watching anymore DvDs

Till I get done with what I need to do!!!

To start off, I MUST WHINE!!! *whine*
My laptop is really cocking up to the MAX!!! I really need to get it checked or changed SOON! SOBZz...

I observed that in most of the Korean shows, the female leads do not usually put eyeshadow, but just eyeliner and sometimes with mascara! So i did just that yesterday! N someone said i looked like one! whoo hoo. HA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ooh ooh.. FIRST French lesson yesterday!!

Bonjour et Salut!
Je m' appelle Uni_phin.

Et toi? Sava?

Francais est tres difficile. Je ne sais pas.
Mais d' accord? Vous comprenez?
Oui? Tres bien!!

Viola!
Merci beau coup! Au revoir!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I shall blab about cabby drivers i met yesterday.

My 1ST today was super argumentative/defensive.
I told him my destination and then told him how to go after he sounded abit unsure.
And when he missed the turn, I went, 'hey, you missed that leh..'
He went ON n ON saying how this and that, in a LOUD voice. HUH?!

I mean, i know it must be an ego thing.
But i think it's just ridiculous lor.
If you don't know/ not sure how to go, ask la..
I won't kill you.

But DUN COME and like ARGUE with me..
When ALL i said was that you missed it and had to contend with the traffic. HELLO!
So i just " Whatever" him in bid to shut him up. But he carried on.

You tell me angry or not. Not angry initially also will be la!
But i shut up cos I was in a good mood today and not about to spoil it.
Maybe complain letter to Comfort Cab, SHA 3662U?
I'm too nice, i don't bother writing,
The most i do is to show obvious displeasure and voice out.

We ALL know being in the service line is not easy and there R difficult customers sometimes. This i understand so i give face.

But hey, CHILL.

The 2nd cabby uncle was really nice!! It was time for him to head home and change shift but he kindly took me to my destination and we had a chat!

Then even when i asked him to keep the change, he REFUSED and insisted to return it!! Wa. *beams*

I realised i fulfilled the typical saying of " Complaining is always easier than Praising"

Just look at my blog. The nice cabby had much LESSER LINES than the motormouth one! Tsk tsk.

Then again, the 2nd cabby drove me for a much shorter distance than the 1st... Anyway,

ReMember, it takes more muscles to FROWN than to SMILE!! hurhur.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yay! Two of my good guy friends are coming back from aussie land soon!
Here's a pic of one of them...




This was taken by a webcam at a friend's Xmas party two Christmas ago!
We took a whole series of shots, damn funny la!




Speaking of Xmas, Ferry Corsten's gona spin on Xmas Eve!!! YAY!!!
Here's a pic taken from my friend's handphone like quite some time ago when he was in town! I had shorter hair then!

Johore!

I got up too early on Wednesday for my own good.. I haven't been getting enough rest, being out and all, then staying up when i'm home to watch my DVDs.. tsk.



First time i bought ToTo and 4D! Actually my mum made me get it for my dad...

I don't think i'd ever buy them on my own accord thou.. Like the probability of winning is damn low and yea, the possibility of winning is what keeps people buying, like spend ABIT, win ALOT.. But still NAH for me!

After watching the entire first season of Numb3rs, I further stand by my point.




Drove to J.B!!! With my mum, aunt, cousin and her children!!

Super cute nephews can?! One's 2 yrs old and the other's 8 months... Their eyelashes are LONGER than mine!!!




Passing the customs and on to Holiday Plaza!!! All of us got heaps of stuff!




My nephew kept holding on to me, so cute! N he's the best in choosing stuff! Like i'd ask him what he thinks of a certain pair of shoes or top.. N when he gives his opinion I'd agree! My very own TWO YR OLD fashionista!

Somehow he couldn't focus on the camera properly leh.. N think he got sian trying cos he didn't sleep much the night before and was tired.. Positively quieter than he normally would be..

He like to sing songs and change the lyrics... Today it was,
" Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any SLEEPY?"
HAHAHAHAHAA. Yea he definitely was tired cos he knocked out after!

???
Got this pair of shoes from SUMMIT and wat else but some D?Ds!!!!

ok was told to remove "incriminating" pics! ha

Too bad they haven't produced alot of the Korean shows in dvd form yet...




I got a Fendi and Dior bag!!! Ok, I like these brands and it feels a weeny bad getting fake stuff but hey, I ain't no rich gal hor! N I love good buys!

Though more expensive than the makes from Thailand and China, but the material's better in cut and quality la..




I mentioned i bought hair dye to D.I.Y ya? Here you go! Can you see the color? It's not THAT obvious but under the light you can see it more...


Came back to Sg and went to town to pluck my eyebrows!
I would trim it bit after each session but then i'd jus slack off and then it becomes bushy again and i'd go... lazy la..


Went with my mum and her tai tai friends from Peranakan Association for MORE shopping!! Sigh.. I spent alot today.. have been spending, it's really bad!




Here are my buys... *broke*

N i'm not say super brand conscious either.. :P

They say it comes with the job though..

Maybe, maybe not. Hmmm.


Popped down to liquid room that night!
D.J Nicholas Tang and Brandon Wong spinning.... The latter spins DAMN good stuff man!!



Here's one of the bosses of Liquid.. Thanks to him i get my entries and drinks free when there's an event by LR, if he's around!!

Trancerepublic's D.J Nick!! He's a lawyer by day can?! N he's gona be teaching my friend how to spin can?!?!!?! Awesome...





Trance khakis!!

Do you realise ALL the gals in the pics have HUGE eyes, EXCEPT me?!!! *envious* :)




This is the couple in "Love at Harvard" They look great together!

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!
They so AmaZingly Sweet and Loving in the show, i can just die!!! *swoons*
