Somewhere in the world
Somewhere in the world tonight
There’s no fighting.
Somewhere in the world tonight
There’s no indifference.
I believe there is a place
Where fear is finally waving goodbye.
So take me there.
Somewhere in the world tonight
There’s no fighting.
Somewhere in the world tonight
There’s no indifference.
I believe there is a place
Where fear is finally waving goodbye.
So take me there.

Herve Leger - One Is Never Enough
I am spending the day in at home, and catching up with deb-time. I've been watching videos of Herve Leger online and lusting over these few pieces. Leger's collection is simply sophisticated, and I love how their designs makes a woman look powerful, and yet feminine as well. I'm hoping and praying that Biha and I would find some time to catch a plane to France from Italy in July!
Let me sleep with you tonight,
Love the tribal influence - Jacquard
Contrast-Banded - I like how it looks like a noir rising sun from the side.
Don't you think the bright neon colours are so alluring?
Words can't exactly describe how I feel about these intricately created creations,
Bodycon dresses rock my world and despite them coming with a hefty price tag, I will be dressed in them one day!

Whiny Queen
Gosh, I'm not liking what I'm doing now. I have stored hormones and wished Friday would come sooner.
-I want to sleep later
-I want to run and dance
-I want time with hemmingway and burton
-I want to go for breakfast with family
-I want to eat lunch at a normal time
-I want to hang out with my friends, and chat away

What is My Resistance?
As we age, we become beautiful and wiser.Tucked in a structured trousers, black and white strips, and a cropped black jacket was my cousin, Yulina, who came over this afternoon to visit our family from New Zealand. It was so nice of her to bring some fruits and wine over, and even though this is my second meeting with her in the past three years, it felt like we had a special bond. With her black glasses, cropped black hair laced with some silvery lines, and of course, I could not have forgotten her smile - she had the most genuine smile I have ever seen and she has a commanding presence. A strong, powerful woman that most men get intimidated at. Anyway, it was good to talk about how the AUS/NZ resident/PR works, the job opportunities and the perks living down south. Well, of course the plan now for me is to finish my degree, and return to SG to work, but should I ever had the opportunities to work in Melbourne then it'll be good too, I think.
Anyway, Yulina is working for the parliament in New Zealand, and she has an Arts degree in history and political science, amazing isn't it? Both of us are Arts student, no wonder we could clique so effortlessly, and talked so easily. Have you ever went out with someone, only to be wrecking your brains to find something to talk about? I find that rather excruciatingly painful, and would choose not go out at all. She has a beautiful apartment in Wellington, and gosh, she showed me a picture of the shoes area. It is not a few shelves and definitely not a shoe cupboard, but a wall of shoes. She has little pigeon holes for all of her shoes, and against an entire wall! Now, I'd really want to take a look at the 'Shoe Wall' myself. She seems to enjoy what she's doing and look at her now, she is financially independent and in a couple of years, I'm going to do it too!
Passion - Keeps you alive in doing what you love. If you love to write, write. If you love to take photoshoots, shoot. Well, there are certain things in Singapore that restricts creativity, and jobs like being an artist, a photographer,a dancer, or a singer may not be widely accepted here, but the most important is keeping that dream alive. We tend to go with the norm, the norm of a structured society. Doctors and lawyers are the coveted jobs here, and sometime it gets a little frustrating that people stereotype the creative arts sector that we are unable to contribute to the society. I know some who have stepped out and into the creativity realm, and have since made it big in Singapore. I think the question for me this year is, what is my resistance? What is resisting me to be the same from everyone else, and what is keeping me alive today?

Summer Stuffing
Just three days ago, my family wanted to try the food at Ku De Ta. There's a $48 and $88 set lunch, but I chose the former. For starters, we had raw beef, egg plant, sashimi, and some other stuff which I can't remember. To be honest, it tasted quite horrible. I am no food critique, but my taste buds clearly didn't like them at all. For the mains,I had salmon with fried noodles and asparagus. You see, I really can't take salty food, and sometimes I suspect I have a dysfunctional taste bud. What is not salty to some might be way too salty for me. Thus, when I cook, I put really little salt for taste. Back to the salmon noodles, my lips felt really dry after eating the noodles, and so did my sis. Anyway, it was not a good experience there, and I don't think I'll ever go back there again. I'll pay for good food, but this was not worth it at all. Nevertheless, 60D with family was a good distraction.
Miyabi
We also went to Miyabi, a Japanese restaurant at RTC. I always love the decorations of the place, the tatami mats, oakwood windows, the beautiful japanese calligraphy that are on the walls, and the soothing sounds of japanese musical instruments. All these go really well with their food, and the dining experience is complemented and further enhanced by personal restaurant managers, who go that extra mile to make it memorable.
I really love J's 60D, but I'm learning the basics of how a DSLR is supposed to work. His camera is practically living with me now, and I am loving it! =)

YEAR 2011
The last few moments of 2010 were spent with my eccentric brother,homer simpson look-alike dad,crazy headless sister and a very sleepy mum. With the thousands of Singaporeans flocking to town, the whole family did not want to head down and rub shoulders with stick bodies. We didn't do much during day, but stayed home and watched 'Vampire Sucks' at home after dinner at Long Beach. Despite telling myself not to go on a binging program these two months,I, inevitably had to do so. My sister will head back to the land of floods in three days time, and sometimes I think I am Cruella, or Maleficent. I secretly want to put a spell on her so she'll somehow fall ill and won't be able to take the plane back.
Binge eating @ Long Beach
Anyway, although we're all adults now, we went down to light some sparklers and burnt some grass patches like we used to do when we were kids. It was hilariously fun, and with my dad, whose little trick bags are far better than any other tricksters. I am so thankful for having such a fun-loving and spontaneous person as my dad.
Sent some sparklers flying!
Till then, I hope 2011 will be as good 2010, or better!
