Someone Like You - Adele. Cover video by me =)

Finally upgraded + photo tab too! whee

So I finally upgraded this blog to a (now-considered-old) new Blogger template. I dunno what held me back all this while. Anyhoo, I also decided to add some tabs in too. For starters, a photo tab! yayyy. Enjoiiiii =)

My 10cents summary of the royalwedding if you're not already sick of those two words.

1. Sister aka Maid-of-Honour = dress material TWO THUMBS UP! so gorgeously flowy and seamless and perfectly cut.

2. The dress - the lace and interesting gill-like train was nice. simple design, I suppose overall it was much prettier than Princess Di's wedding dress which was....well. yea.

3. You'd think the Prince could afford Yun Nam or even a hair piece! ANYTHING would have been better!

4. Hosts - would anyone you ask ever say that they DIDN'T think the dress was "beautifullll"?? aren't there more interesting questions to ask?-_-

5. back to the dress - the boring tiara, the tudung veil, the hairstyle, even the makeup: =/ i didn't like it. Her smudge-y eyeliner gives me the impression that it's hiding something.

6. The Abbey - wow. the view from behind the couple, straight out of a poster. the high ceilings, I imagine it must be breathtaking to stand in that hallway. The trees down the aisle, haha nice alternative for a garden wedding.

7. The crowd - I'm in awe of the support the people have for the monarchy.

8. Camilla and Charles look as old as the Queen herself.

9. Thumbs up to the LadyGaga-wannabe with her crazy hat seated behind the queen.

10. Overall, not my idea of an ideal fairytale wedding, but it did have elements that anyone would like, I suppose.

Now we can all get back to our fabulous lives and dream of snatching our own 29yr old balding Prince.

Traffic polish

Stuck in 6pm traffic today, I managed to clean off old nail polish, paint this new colour on, and clean everything up AND take a few photos including this one - all at ONE traffic light! Subang is a horrid place to be in. But I did get my nails done so time well spent anyway, I'd say, haha!

I love this colour! Got it from a store in Sunway Pyramid. Bottle says Looc ('cool' spelt backwards I guess? doesn't come close to Pink's "if you're too school for cool" though).

It's from Korea so I figure the quality should be good, I'll find out soon enough but so far it looks good! Looking for more Asian alternatives to OPI. =)

And here are some of the mani's I did between Mar - Apr 2011. If you've seen them on my FB album, this is just a backup diary for myself =)

A fun gradient for my friend Belinda..

Cherry blossom trees to match my cheong-sam for a wedding I attended..

Simple wedding-dinner manicure for my sis Tammy who was MC-ing..

Another simple bridal mani done as a tester..
Halftone nails done for my band's gig early this month! =)

Wedding & bridal manicure

My definition of the difference between wedding and bridal manicure:
Wedding manicures are more for us who are attending someone's wedding soon.
Bridal manicures are, obviously, for the bride and her bridesmaids.

That said, this first one is a bridal manicure that I did for my sister who was the Maid of Honour at her best friend's wedding last week at Cameron Highlands.

And this, was what I did for myself for that same wedding. (I wasn't a bridesmaid so this would be a "wedding manicure") =p
Wore a darrkkkkk forest green shimmer dress with it. Originally wanted the nails to look like lace but when I curved it round the nail, it looked less lace-y. will keep it straight across next time. quite happy with it anyway =)

Nail art post 1

Bizarre dreams are back!

last night i was kidnapped by movie-like white ppl. It was so unfair. THEY looked like they were IN a movie, but the rest of us looked like we were in a regular dream. Their movements and visuals and colours and all looked movie-edited. we looked plain.

Anyhoo, they shoved me in a tiny tiny L-shaped room with cupboards of useless books and a small window. I thought "hmm this is quite silly, why shove me in a place that only i can fit, then how they gonna force me out later?" But whatdyaknow, a fat white dude managed to fit in that tiny space although i can't recall what he came in for.
When he left, I looked out and saw Darren Ashley - i wanted to call out but was afraid they'd hear me from behind the door for sure. so all i could do was watch him walk away. From across the road, to the next shop...to the next shop...to the next shop. yea it was depressing.

Next scene: suddenly i'm with two others (not sure if it was Jane Chong & Darren Ashley) and we're in a house that seems to belong to someone familiar. We're under some kind of house arrest by the same people, and we manage to get permission to go upstairs to drink water. We go into a room where we attempt to lock the doors intending to climb out to the roof. *whispered conversation blah blah that i cant remember* but then either jane or i end up walking back downstairs to "decoy" so they wouldnt suspect. and there was something about the ankles of our jeans getting wet.

i duno. wth right?

Underheadlights. hehe

Random Useless Note of the day: Fresh singledom seems to inspire flurries of girlies.

Gray

GRAY

Trailing my fingers across your skin

Velvet secrets out for a spin

Believe this will slip away, fade away, disappear

Fast forward/Rewind to a time that you'll remember

when it was not all so black and white, darkness and light

Do you remember?

It's time you made up your mind

To put out the light or ignite

We've been on this carousel way too many rounds and I'm thinking over

I won't wait til it gets out of line

Stop taking your time, wasting mine

Won't be okay with this gray.

Cut it deeper to see how much of me flows

Keep it bottled and watch as it grows

Take twenty when all you need is just one more

You look dark like a prince who has lost his crown

but kept the jewels in his stare

No matter what's said, detachment underplayed

The colours fade..

It's time you made up your mind

To put out the light or ignite

We've going around and around and around and

I won't wait til it gets out of line

Stop taking your time, wasting mine

Won't be okay..with this..gray.

"Wear a suit, k"

Wow. I'm getting super lousy at remembering to take pictures of the things I do. I remember a time when EVERYTHING was picture-bloggable. (yes, bloggable)

I can't believe I didn't take a SINGLE PICTURE this night.tsk tsk tsk.

I got out of the car thinking "ok, I'm gonna change out of this in like, 5mins, no need to wear my heels lahhhh...."

Cheh. Regretting that now haha.

Mom made the cake deco. Paperplanepursuit.com! =D
Irwan was trying to figure out which one was him.

Sheena got a biiiiiit obsessed with cake-pictures...

then Joey came with his canggih camera and took pictures, yayy..

happy happy joy joy

haha joni you're so rude

there should be a cupcake and a starbucks logo in that little collage you've made.
hahahhaha oh such a temptation to post the collage here with my exact suggestions added in.

carnalities of the night

a jealousy for your talent.
mental exhaustion for the week.
a digging deeper into the very being of me for the best there is.

your heartache brings me heartache,
but your sting is much much stronger,
a silent murderous poison,
there's a need to let go.
such a waste you weren't seeing things clearly
such an inequity is hard to forget, but He's real and He can,
there's a need to let go.
the only thing consistent is your chaos,
its perpetuality like a raging war
of good and bad and bad is strong
like venom running deep into the veins,
like a swelling tongue plugging out breath,
like ten thousand bamboo needles embedded into the skin
there's a need to let go.

a desperate need to let go.

Too busy for you

It bothers me when I can't find even ONE person willing to take 30mins of their time to bring 4 visitors to a place because they are too busy promoting and preparing the place for those same visitors.
