Photos with my friends from workShaun and I at yesterday's launch of Singapore Art Show - they were giving away polaroid pictures of people posing at the special "frame".
One of the rare good photos of me. Pity about the double exposure shadow thingy. :(
Here's me and Lesley at the past National Day Observance Ceremony. Matching outfits to boot!
Note to self: never take profile shots. :(
As much as Shaun is my best male friend at work, Lesley is my best female friend. And the three of us LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolates. Haha! Chocolate - the basis of all good relationships.
The other day Lesley SMS-ed me: Amy! Had the most amazing warm chocolate cake at Menotti :) just thot of u. That reminds me of how Pei Ee once said she thinks of me when she hears about desserts or good places to eat. So, my close gal pals equate me with food (esp dessert)... I'll take that as a good sign! :D
Oh! I should mention that Shaun's face is emblazoned on the Heeren facade. While at his previous job at the ad agency, he modelled for a Police Force ad campaign. So now one of the recruitment banners is on the Heeren wall, near the Spinelli's outlet.
My secondary buddy, Felisa, used to be the face of POSB. Who knew I'd have that many model frens?

Congrats to J.D. for being THE ROCKSTAR!
Congrats to INXS for being complete.
Come Nov 29, I'll be lining up to buy your new CD "Switch". Hope there's a simultaneous worldwide release. *crosses fingers* Meanwhile, I'll sort out the payment snafu and buy the mp3s from MSN Music. Can't wait til Oct 4 for the "Pretty Vegas" single!I took leave this morning to watch the finale and I'm so happy J.D. won. It was a nerve-racking show up until the final result!
MiG and his ripped bod evokes a visceral response and is the perfect eye-candy for my
But J.D. impressed me from the first performance show with his original arrangement of "California Dreaming". And each week, he tried to make each song his own - whether or not he got his song of choice.
The fact that he's the BadBoy of the rockstar mansion just made me adore him more. He's probably the most tattoo-ed of the bunch but his tats are beautiful! His angel wings are a piece of art! He was also responsible for a lot of the "drama" but hey, his fans all love him for that. One memorable episode, he had artistic differences with his team and chose to stick to his own vision. Now his song "Pretty Vegas" is like a huge hit! Guess he got the last laugh.
And it's a joy to read his Blog. Unlike MiG who sounds like he's writing to his parents from bandcamp, J.D.'s tone and style is more mature and personal. I love it that he talked about donating his prize car to a New Orleans family, while MiG just went on about how excited he is to have won a car.
In his pitch on why he should be chosen, J.D. said, "if you still believe in your dreams, the way I believe in my dreams, then maybe that's a reason why."
LIVE THE DREAM!

Love Hurts by NazarethLove hurts, love scars,
Love wounds, and marks,
Any heart, not tough,
Or strong, enough
To take a lot of pain,
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
I’m young, I know,
But even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They’re not foolin’ me
I know it isn’t true,
I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
Ooh,ooh love hurts
[guitar solo]
I know it isn’t true,
I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie,
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh love hurts
Ooh ooh...
Friends tell me that...
They were off-again-on-again. When they finally decided that it was definitely love, she had to fly off half-way around the world, and she won't be back for a year.
They were in love and marriage-bound. Then one day it just wasn't enough and they went separate ways.
I don't know much about them but something must have hurt her til suicide was the only way out.
She was looking for romantic love.
He had unrequited feelings.
Love is tragic. Why do we love?

How wonderfully brave is it to be able to say "I like who I am. If you can't accept the person I am, I won't change just for you."
I wish I had that courage.
My thoughts are with you, friend. May you be spared pain and sorrow.

The Final 3:
MiG and his usual second-skin super-low-rise pants.
Marty and his hyper self.
J.D. - dark, edgy and oh so right...

One last episode of Rock Star: INXS to go!
So time to post all the MiG pics.
MiG performing:
Always showing off his bod... sometimes to the point of distracting from the music!
Which is bad, cos its a SINGING competition!
And whenever he wears a jacket, it's assured he'll fling it off before too long.
Don't even get me started on those skin-tight pants he ALWAYS wears. What? Never heard of relaxed-fit???
During a photoshoot for LEVIs:
The outfit I chose for my individual shoot was pretty raunchy - tight very low waist, bootleg black jeans and a tiny white vest. The bone choker and belt were mine and the beads I borrowed from Ellie Mae, our stylist. (Taken from his MSN Spaces.)
The photographer actually told him he was "too sexy" for a jeans advertisement and told him to tone it down. Hahahaha!

Found some cool Stikfas photos!This is the Black Ninja that I own, just that I didn't paste stickers on mine. I like 'em simple!
The pose that I attempted earlier is similar to this:
This should be a separate post, but I didn't feel like it. Eugene called me to chat about his gf, but he cut our conversation short cos he had to answer her call. Almost immediately, Shaun asked me to phone him so we could talk about his dear gal. And he ended our banter cos he had to call his gf. I should change my number to 1900-4323 8423 (GfAdvice).

Had a massive row with Shaun today. Or rather, I yelled at him while he sat there looking wounded. *angry*In a fit of pique, I left some biting comments on his blog. I didn't go out of my way to be nasty, I just didn't bother to sugarcoat my sentiments like I'd have normally done. Oh well, he's gonna delete them anyway...
I've not been pissed at him since his great "conversion". Makes me think that being
Sigh.
He's probably never gonna read this, but I wish he'd understand that I didn't mean to yell. Sometimes you just get pushed too far, you know?
How many muffins, I wonder, will it take to smooth this over?

Colleagues Shaun and Lesley introduced me to this wonderful song, which really touched me. I hope when you hear it, you'll be moved as well.Download mp3
"Beautiful Girl" by Jose Mari Chan
Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again.
You said "hello" and I turned to go
But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again.
Refrain : It was destiny's game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone.
Whenever you are, I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I've loved again after a long, long while
I've loved again.
*Repeat Refrain
Beautiful girl, I'll search on for you
'Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You've made me love again after a long, long while
In love again
And I'm glad that it's you
Hmm, beautiful girl

Stikfas rocks! You can't stop playing with it. But every so often, you get like the perfect position and you feel sayang to dismantle it. But then after a while, you get an even MORE perfect pose!
Stikfas rocks.
Right now, I'm trying (in vain, perhaps) to get it into a seated Buddha position. But the feet can't get into a cross-legged position or a Lotus position. This is the best that I can do:

My secondary school classmate Caroline Jovita Baptista (i STILL remember her full name!) just called me out of the blue! Apparently there's gonna be a *cough*-year reunion on November 19.That's like 9.5 weeks to get my act together. EEK!!!
Because it's that school, I think I better clean up my career first. I'm gonna walk into a room full of PhDs, Managers, etc. I have to find a better way of saying "I'm a grunt worker, earning slave wages, in the bowels of a minor stat board". How about: "I'm part of the dynamic team that is spearheading policy of the heritage industry" or "the satisfaction of knowing that I've put your stamp on Singapore far outweighs any possible tangible rewards"? Need to dig deep and find my
So what if Jade Ke is now some rich socialite wife? I'm a "busy career woman, satisfied with having open-ended relationships with men". Hmmm.... who can I bribe to go as my escort to this shindig? *goes through mental list of guy friends*
And what am I supposed to WEAR??? *panics*
omigod... i'm such a mess! my life is an exercise in mediocrity. i'm SO not ready to have a reunion. *is depressed*
-EDIT-
Just saw the mass email. Wah! These people work for the Attorney General's Chambers and Saatchi. And about half of them are overseas. One's in Cornell! I'm SOOOO not going.
I hate my life.

Emperor stands no chance against the Big Bad Booty Daddy
(Pardon the really low res picture, Nokia7260 doesn't have a very good camera.)
Dear, sweet Shaun surprised me today by leaving a Stikfas Ninja on my monitor, poised to strike with a sword. I had bought the toy on Monday and he volunteered to assemble it for me. Didn't expect him to finish so fast! ("Always time for you em," said he.)
I had tons of fun playing with it, but I realised that I have a VERY VERY BAD knowledge of the human figure. Cos I forgot how the individual joints n limbs needed to bend in order to assume certain positions.
Anyhoo, after a couple of permutations, I took the above picture with my other black-plastic-toy (a Lego Darth Vader - I don't have an Emperor figure, but both are Siths, so cut me some slack, ya?).
Some explanations are needed here:
1) Shaun and I came up with Star Wars based nicknames for colleagues so that we can bitch about them without being too obvious about it. The head honcho, whom we dislike, became Emperor Palpatine (i.e. the evil one).
2) Shaun is a self-proclaimed Big Bad Booty Daddy (BBBD) for reasons only known to himself.
3) Shaun often claims that in a fight situation, he'll just hold his opponent at arm's length, while the poor fella vainly tried to make some contact.
So the pic above is like a fantasy played out in plastic. Pity I don't have a better camera on hand.

My ID is laughing its ass off.
And my Superego is in a corner, with its tail between its legs, knowing full well that it cannot win.
I am smutten. And way beyond any hope.
my ID says: stop with the exposition, get on with the smut!
omg! he's so buffed now! *stares*
and this pic is picture perfect!
i took a long time posting this - kept making mistakes with the code. my brain has yet to recover from finding that first photo.
