BP Boycott!!

Horrid! The oil-soaked birds from the BP oil leak saga might be put to sleep instead of getting cleaned cos German biologists were saying that their suvival rate is less than 1% and actually suggested euthanizing them instead! Click here to read the full article...

And BP CEO Tony Hayward has just made himself the common enemy #1 with his condescending remarks that showed no respect to human lives and I doubt he feels any remorse about the oil spill and the havoc it has caused...he said

"We're sorry for the massive disruption it's caused to their lives," Hayward said."There's no one who wants this thing over more than I do, I'd like my life back"

WTF? 11 people died at the oil rig and the gulf coast population's lives were wrecked and he actually said he'd like is life back!? What a twat! Not to mention he insisted that all the oil is on the surface and there's no plume despite submarine travelled 400 feet down the sea, saw the oil and came back to the surface totally black!

Again, another proof that the human race is a bloody disgrace....

I say BOYCOTT BP!!!!

Cry Baby

When was the last time you cry? I did last night but it wasn't a bad thing cos it was more of a relief and release than the whole crazy upset crying episode. I was talking about some issue and then the pent up emotions just got released and my eyes started dehydrating. Okay, I'm rather useless cos I have very active tear ducts and I cry quite easily...sometimes at the wrong time.... Then BB being a typical man, freaked out despite my telling him it's not him and he didn't do anything wrong and I'm just talking to him about things. And he was like "oh you should stop crying" but I said no no, I need to cry it out cos it's pent up emotions.....

Sounds like a familiar girl vs boy thing! Guys just don't understand that we girls sometimes just need to cry...it's healthy for emotional well-being cos after crying, we feel relieved and we feel better. And it doesn't mean that we cry cos we're upset, depressed or in major distressed cos sometimes when I'm tired or overwhelmed, I cry too. It's a form of self-soothing...But I found the best way to explain to him why girls need to cry...I said: "Okay, you see, girls need to cry cos it's a release and we feel relieved and better after, just like how guys need to wank off sometimes to release, got it?"....yes, I think he got it!

White Out!

I'm a pill popper and I pop supplement like I pop candy but I love it. Everyday I take a multi vitamin, a cal-mag tablet (to help hydrate my muscle and prevent cramps during exercise), some fat burner, some Apple Cider Vinegar (okay not pill) and lately I've retired Imedeen and started taking Sato Hakubi White C instead. Not that Imedeen isn't good cos it's fab but I believe in going off the product a bit after a couple of months so the skin won't be reliant on it but then to replace, I started popping Sato Hakubi White C cos I'm over my bronze tanning phase and would prefer to keep my skin fair (and wrinkle free!)....

It's probably true that they say you'll always want what you don't have. I'm born very fair, with a generous spray of freckles across my cheeks and nose bridge and when I was younger, I've always envied people with bronze healthy glowing skin but then sometimes even a long PE session would burnt my skin and I would turn red for the whole day and I would be called "The cooked lobster". So in my early 20s, I slowly go for tan (after self-tanning lotion failed cos it turned me orange and I looked ike a baked bean) to build up the base tan and slowly continue roasting in order to get that bronze sunshine barbie skin...pale white ghostly skin is just too "frozen chicken" for me...and I've even tried sun bed haha...what a horrible thing to do to my skin and yes, at one point, I was really tan...cos I used to wakeboard twice a week (and I actually enjoyed the tanning more...).....a little like the little brown chocolate cartoon character in the Cadbury chocolate cartoon tv ad..here's proof...my holiday in Ibiza with my friends....

See how tan my shoulder got? Or rather...burnt...and you know how the skin looks less tan in the sun? I look much much darker in normal lighting...ohh but I love my Ibiza wild holidays! Woot!

Anyway, those were the sun worshipping days and now that I'm older, I avoid the sun like the plague (sometimes it's really hard when I go surfing cos I would sit on my surf board the whole day waiting for a nice set of waves)....cos well, UV Rays is your skin number 1 enemy cos it wrinkles your skin, breaks down collagen, gives you sun spots, freckles, not to mention skin cancer...So I'm now into the whitening phase...how ironic right? After damaging my skin by over-tanning....and now I wanna be a frozen chicken again.....But yeah, if you have seen what the sun did to celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, you would stay away from it too...she's now botoxed her face to perfection but still looks prune-like....so nope, I'll leave the prune back to Del Monte and not on my face......Anyhows, back the point...so when I was thinking of stopping Imedeen and trying a new skin supplement, I thought ahhhh, I'll get Hakubi White C cos I do worry about my spray of freckles getting out of control...no, they're cute in small amount but mine are across the face, all over....think Strawberry Shortcake on steroid kind....or the less extreme case of any ginger red head freckly kid (okay, not that bad)....so I bought Hakubi White C and it comes in a special set with the Hakubi C Gel....

I wasn't intending to buy the Hakubi Gel cos I've got my own whitening serum (Kose Sekeisi Whitening Serum) but the Hakubi comes in a bundle deal so why not right? Especially when my inner cheapskate says it's a good deal.... Always good to try new stuff and it's a small tube anyway. So here's the verdict. My face DOES seem more luminous and the freckles seem to have gone lighter too....Real quick!! Cos I've been only taking it for about 10 days or so....I dunno if it's the effect of the tablets or the gel but I'm using the gel everynight and taking the tablet 3 times a day...but the freckles are really visibly lighter...the gel is good in a sense that it dries up really quickly and it's got a watery texture and wouldn't even any trace of stuff after it dries. So yes, it's good....but it seems to work on the face only and not the rest of the body (I'm hoping it would cos I have about 3439493478389 mozzie bite marks I hope would lighten)...then again, I don't slap on the gel on my body so maybe that will come a bit later cos my body has a slight tan from all the surfing...but I'm looking forward to have more luminous skin cos after all, I'm only about 10 days into it! But it does seems like something I'll be taking on a regular basis for sure cos it's affordable too! Oh and it's supposedly help you feel more energized with the burst of vitamin...that I didn't feel but who cares when I get luminous skin??? Nice!

Extreme Makeover sans surgery....

If you're some criminal on the run wanted by the interpol and haven't got money to plastic surgery your face to a different person, here's your chance and all you need is wads of fake lashes and tons of makeup! Just watch the youtube clip below cos you'd be shocked as I did! Uncle Josh sent me the clip yesterday while I was catching a breather at work and I'm so mesmerised that I might change my religion to "Makeup" or "Cosmetic" the next time I fill up a form....take a look...it's a taiwanese programme on how plain janes harness the power of makeup to transform themselves into va-va vroom hot babes! I'm totally amused....



Now I feel less shitty when I look at Japanese/Taiwanese magazines where all the girls look meticulously perfect....ahhhh....they've got so much work done! For those who don't understand Mandarin, they basically used 3 to 4 sets of false lashes, eye glue (for the deep set double eye-lid effect), coloured contacts, tons and tons of eyeliner and eye shadow, buckets of foundation, a hell lot of concealer and lots of shimmery and shading powder to create the hot babes look! I think if they use a photo of their made up face themselves after in their passport, they can only pass through the custom if and only if they have their makeup on cos the difference is way too big and the custom officers wouldn't believe they're the same girls if they try go pass the custom minus the face paint.....The effects were incredible and I was speechless...I almost feel inspired to touch up my eyelashes and wear more makeup now since I'm feeling ugly these days...

So maybe the saying that there's no ugly women, but only lazy ones is true after all....

Last Meal

I'm comfort eating now...stuffing my face with potato wedges to combat work stress/PMS/black clouds in my head etc...and why must all the yummy delicious food be either fattening or bad for health? It's such cruel reality...then I suddenly remember my publishing friend once did a little vox pox page and went around asking people that if they're gonna be executed tomorrow, what would they want their last meal to be (assuming you can choose what you want)....what an interesting question...a cruel one indeed for me cos I love food and there're soooo many things I wanna eat!!! I can't even decide...but Ah Meow said she would like to have a major salmon sashimi feast, QQ wanna have her mom's home cooked meal of 三菜一汤 (3 different dishes and one soup), HL said whatever she feels like eating at that point (good one but then I'll feel a bit cheated if I feel like eating instant noodle cos hello, it's last meal!), OGT said I have too much free time to think of nonsense (not true..I'm busy like hell) then answered "Lucky Plaza chicken rice"....anyhow....

I can't make up my mind, but I made a list of what I'd like and I'll probably choose from there:

• Wagyu beef fillet mignon with white truffle
• Salmon and tuna belly sashimi feast
• Waraku's warm mentaiko udon
• Xiao long bao with vinegar
• Tom yum soup (less spicy please)
• A bloody good cheese burger with truffle fries
• Potato feast...ie. mash with gravy, wedges, fries (yes I love spud)
• Japanese curry with seaweed laden miso soup
• Stir fried clams with chili paste
• Cantonese double boiled soup (either old cucumber soup or watercrest soup)
• Herbal soup with "dang gui"
• Creamy mushroom soup with truffle oil and a touch of leek (must be puree type)

Yeah that's about what I would probably think of....very greedy I know...it would be good if there's a spread of all of the above in small portion....at least I'll be having a very full belly and won't die as a hungry ghost....but now all of a sudden I'm seriously seriously craving for double boiled old cucumber soup...omg...my mouth is watering....
hmmmm double boiled old cucumber soup.....

Reading: Mao's Last Dancer by Li Cunxin...I watched the movie some weeks ago and I was so damn moved and I bought the book the next day and I'm totally loving the stories Li told of his life as a ballet student and the communist regime he was subjected to as a child...it's totally fascinating!

Watching: Dexter...yes, I'm a laggard...I'm finally starting to watch Dexter...first it was JC who asked me to watch it almost a year ago, then a couple more friends asked me to and a reader whom I email has also been bugging me to watch it and now I'm finally watching it and woohooo...Dexter IS GOOD! I'm at the first couple of episodes and boy....I LOVE it...I've always loved that dark twisted humor cos I have a very dark and twisted mind and I can totally relate to Dexter in the non-violent way....complex I know...And all the gruesome butchering murder scene is such sweet relief for a shit day at work...
Listening to: The Sea by Corinne Bailey Rae....Corinne's second album...waited for so long for it to come cos she was grieving for her husband's death (drug overdose...sad really). After her husband death, she said she wouldn't sing anymore but good thing she's put herself together. The album's got the same girly charm I love from the first one yet it's got some dark corners cos it's about grief....it's an awesome album with a melancholic edge, very different from her debut...Love the tracks "Closer", "Paris Night New York Morning" and "I'd do it all again"....

Using: Skin79 BB Sun Pact & L'egere Multi White BB Cream....actually, I bought the L'egere BB cream last August while I was stuck surfing in Taiwan (yes, stuck cos I was at the exact spot where the Typhoon Morakat hit!) and initially I didn't like it cos I'm totally not used to the texture of BB cream cos I think it's rather thick and at that point I was tanned so the colour was a bit pale for me...then recently a reader asked if I use BB cream and it prompted me to give the cream a try again and guess what? I actually like it now! Cos the coverage is good and natural, and it's got all the good properties of sun block, moisturizer, foundation, blah blah blah...pretty much everything in the sink and it saves lots of time in the morning cos just moisturize and whack it on, no need to apply foundation and whatnots. What's not to love? And because of my new found liking for BB Cream, I went to Watsons to get the Skin79 BB Sun Pact cos my Ettusais pearly powder has run out and I wanted to try something else....well, I LOVE the Skin79 Sun Pact!! Not only has it got a super cheery hot pink packaging, the powder is super silkly smooth and it's got excellent coverage when worn on top of BB cream to give you flawless skin! And there's a plastic lid instead of the cumbersome piece of clear plastic to separate the powder puff and the powder...very nifty...I think I'm gonna buy this again....highly recommend!!

Wearing: Thomas Sabo angel wing pendant....old item but I love this...I really would want to have the Garrard Wing pendant but no money...boooo...they don't even have an outlet in Singapore anyway

Drinking: I'm in a bit of a slimming craze and an ex-colleague asked me to try the TG Slimming Drink....It's available only in Unity Pharmacy and it's apparently approved by Ministry of Health in Japan as a slimming health drink. It promises to help rid of the stubborn fat around your mid section and lower body. I dunno if it works cos I've only had it for about a week plus but I've already stocked up on it to give it more time...will update on progress...hope in a bottle! Click here to read more...

Berocca....oh it does help me feel more alert and less tired. So I'm popping one tablet every morning for that burst of energy...

Loving: Jessica Michibata...My favourite Japanese model, my current muse and Jenson Button's ex-girlfriend (their break-up was announced on 28 May)....I love her! She's gorgeous and down-to-earth and you can tell she's a really sweet and nice person. She does quite a bit of charity too, so shame on Jenson Button who broke up with her to focus on his career (I hate men like that cos it means they're not good enough to juggle both. Losers)...I hope Jessica M finds a better man soon and Jenson can bloody eat his McLaren heart out....

Lusting after: The same old Tiffany key necklace I lusted after in February...I've always loved girly classic items like key and locket and hearts etc....but now I'm under the "Project Chinese Jew" regime, so this will have to remain as a lust item until further notice...

Theme Song of the Day

I can't stop listening to Travie McCoy's "I wanna be a billionaire"...cos I've got so much work to do and under so much stress that I hope I'd win the lottery so I can throw in my resignation letter completed in 10 different languages to my boss including one that says "Hello boss, lim peh mai chor liao!" hahahahaha.....



I wanna be a billionaire...so fucking bad....buy all of the things I've never had....
I wanna be on cover of Forbes magazine, smiling next to Oprah and the Queen.......

Ohhhhh how I love the song and the lyrics.....very nice.....such a happy song...great to listen to while I'm slaving away in the office.....makes me less grumpy...haha....
