wearing lip stick is one of my greater annoyance
instead of wearing it on my lips
i tend to lick everything off
but that doesn't mean that i don't try
which means that the lining of my stomach is coated with lipstick or gloss
the classic red lipstick look is back this season
reminding us of the 40s and 50s
one of my favourite beauty and fashion eras
and maybe as a challenge i learn to wear some lip stick
maybe i'll post a picture next wed of me wearing some
hmmm..i actually like mac's orangey red lipstick

NINE!
okay this sort of feels like work since Chopard is the official jeweller for the show
adapted from the broadway musical of the same name
it centers on film director Guido Contini and the women in his life
as they say men only have three problems
women, money and both
though it's jam packed with a stellar cast of
marion cortillard, kate hudson, penelope cruz and nicole kidman
it's gotten mixed reviews from the media during its premiere in new york and london
some say that the plot wasn't successfully explored and leaves characters hallow
others salute the cinematography and flashy musical numbers
i'm hoping it'll at least exceed my expectations
we're having a premiere for our clients and press on the 9th of feb
and the film will be hitting the screens on the 15th of feb
what ever the case, its sure to sizzle up your day with dazzling jewellery
mesmerising musical numbers and glamourous fashion

top three classic bags that i covet
that will go with everything i wear
but could potentially feed a village for a month
3.1 Philip Lim Doctor bag, intelligence with spunk
A simple LV open mouth tote, casual yet stylish
Chanel 2.55, ultimate chic!
I'm not really a brand whore mostly because i don't really see the point in spending thousands of dollars on a single item like a bag when i could be feeding a village of people in cambodia with the same amount of money.
it does get the better of me when i think about spending that kind of money on a fashion pieces that would truly only benefit me and my fashion cravings BUT i do love my bags and shoes.. if i had the cash to buy just one bag, it would be the 2.55, definitely something that most girls lust after. i just can't bring myself to buy branded stuff when i know there are so many people i would be helping. in fact most of my branded items are gifts from people. Materialism gets the best of us on most days and that includes me. well sometimes we should be a little selfish and feed the fashionista in you and think about saving the world another day.

as it has been for 2 years 2 months and 6 days
i've been working at Chopard as a Public Relations and Marketing Executive
unofficially i am also the minion who helps out with designing visuals for ads
and i also help the visual merchandiser who does all the window and boutique displays
i must admit that within this short time i have learnt so much
not only about PR, Marekting, visual merchandising
but about fashion, jewellery, watches, office politics, fedex-ing, oracle
and numerous other programmes and job related skills
in December, my PR manager left to be a teacher in RP, Republic Polytechnic.
i was very happy for her but on the other hand i was rather devastated
she's a very patient, jovial, fashion forward, warm hearted and courageous individual
secretly i wish to be a little bit like her day after day
seldom do you have a manager who is so willing to teach a newbie
what more a newbie which she plucked off the streets
who didn't have any pr background
and just a few days
my company's secretary and receptionist left Chopard
though again i am happy that she's going on to do more exciting things
Chopard will not be the same without her
a pieces of me leaves with each individual
memories only time can form
work is work, people are people and work is just work.
with the exception of 2 people in the office, i get along very well with everyone
and i really do enjoy what i do at Chopard
i only realised that not that many people can say they enjoy what they do with conviction
the hours are sometimes long and tiring
but i think i am very blessed to be in a conducive environment
with positive co-workers and patient, trusting bosses/managers
thus a salute to the Chopard Asia team!
...
i've decided that i want to be more serious about blogging
so i am going to take a different direction with regard to my writing
monday: Office related topics
tuesday: Fashion / gossip
wedensday: Movies/places of interest
thursday: Make up/perfumes
friday: Art work
saturaday: Photography
we'll see how long i'll be able to sustain this schedule..
i know it sounds like a mini magazine
but since i've back ground in writing fashion and beauty
i thought maybe why not try it out here on my own blog space
now i'm going to have to get a proper phone
that will be able to handle blogging from work
since my office is pretty much blogger unfriendly....

i think you're playing games with me
but you know what?
i am not going to play along
if you want to talk to me then talk to me
if not don't expect me to make the first move
goodness you're so childish
is it so hard to embrace your feelings
or all you care about is saving face...

sigh.. please don't look at me with those eyes
i'm not going to be your daughter in law
it's a strange development
maybe it wasn't conventional in the first place
so now i'll just have to deal with it
best part is when she told me we should get together
and i almost choked on my drink
the little to my right laughed
and her father smiled
i on the other hand was sweating buckets
and feel really awkward
i suppose that's retribution for my sins...

dreamt of you a week ago
i dreamt that i met your new girlfriend
and i rem that her name's beth
and you know what?
i was really happy for you
that i didn't screw up your life after all
what surprised me was that i didn't feel
angry or even the sting of envy or jealousy
i was just happy and glad to meet beth
it feels good to know i've moved on
even when i didn't knew i did
i've been caught in a complicated web of ridiculous relationships
the past 1 1/2 years so it's refreshing to know
i have it in me to just let everything go
and be happy and content with what i have
i've been to KL, Melaka and back to KL
in a short time span of 1 1/2 months
then parts of msia returned the favour
and came to visit me
i had a great christmas with my Ee mah
and some of my nephew and nieces
i had a jolly good boxing day with eric and family
and a good post christmas with emily
i wonder who will come to visit me next (:
i always find parts of myself in msia
maybe it's the company i keep
perhaps it's the space away from everything i have in singapore
or could it be that i actually have the time
to think things through clearly
whatever the combination
i always feel the most recharged mentally
after a trip in msia
charlotte has finally left
and somehow i thought that i would cry
but i didn't which is actually quite me
sometimes i think my tear ducts have dried up
its so strange when i walk past and her room is now vacant
void of anything personal
funny how a room is just a space when it belongs to no one
so detached and clinical
maybe it'll be easier to pretend she's on an extended vacation
i'm extremly grateful to her
she found me and plucked me out from the shit which was sww
i don't know what possessed her to pick someone
without any pr related background
but she did
and she was patient with me
somehow i keep thinking of the worst of the new pr manager
that has yet to join
but maybe it's becuase i'a bias
i don't want anyone to replace charlotte
childish i know...

i went to kl last week
i'm going to melaka next week
and 2 weeks after that i am going back to kl
i am a lil creepy hahaha...
...
i only have 2 known, blood, first cousins in singapore
brandon chang and madeline chang
of whom both belong to my paternal side of the family
my dad and his brother were adopted by my kong kong
after his real father and mother seperated
and left both of them behind while he went back to england
we used to play alot as kids
but along the way our dads fought
and we just didn't see each other tha often anymore
brandon got married about 4 years back
madeline just got married today
and although i feel happy to see all the relatives
i just feel a tinge of sadness that we are no longer close
that we are no longer involved in each other's lives
because of the actions of 2 individuals
who later both lived to regret..
at the very list i got to spend loads of time
with my family to day (:
with my mum, mal, godma, tai ku, uncle roger, josh, chris and even marc
it was a day well spent...
my mum
she told me that my brothers and i grew up over night
after my dad passed away
i didn't feel any more grown up
neither did i sense any change in my siblings
but she assured me that
as the night turned we were adults
in our own rights
if i age to look like my mum at 54
i would indeed be a happy camper
but there is so much that i hope to become
i hope to become more like her
a woman who puts her family first
who knows how to give and take
able to raise her kids right
someone who has such inner strength
one with laughter in her eyes
and a need for kindness and love
i was a disgruntle teenager waging war
i had a good cause but i failed to see the bigger picture
some how it took the death of my father
to make me see what i missing by pushing my point
-----------------------------------------------------
not the best lighting and i'm too lazy to edit
i am actually a little disturbed at myself
that i did not for one second feel irked out
by dozens of halved pig corpses
i was in fact very fascinated in their anatomy
and i had to take pictures.. but of cos!
then i realised that i actually found a small joy
in photographing something rare
a slaughter house you would never find in singapore
i thanked the uncle who has now cutting up another corpse
and he smiled and said i was brave
for even coming into the house
is it normal that i'm intrigued
i actually want to see the different organs
and document them
maybe thats why i love biology
because it's so real
its me, its you...
first of all,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
my long suffering friend!
may we have many many more
camps and outings together
---------------------------------
i will not settle for less
trying to convince myself
isn't the easiest of battles
I WILL NOT SETTLE FOR LESS!
no offense to you
but i won't do it i won't do it
*whines*
------------------------------------
I totally killed my bank account
by making this camera purchase
so close to the brokage
of my recent almost 2 months ago japan trip
but it's worth it and it's a good investment
or so i keep reminding myself
that seems to be the theme now adays..
me convincing myself
when i know i do better sticking to gut reactions
happens when your guts, heart and brain
all fight to make a decision
and in the end i hesitate, stumble and fail
--------------------------------------------
I love coming from a big family
i used to hate the idea of travelling up
to rustic technophobe melaka
but now i love its old world charm
i like having relatives in different countries
even when you go a totally new place
there's still a piece of home there
many happy years to my uncle and his wife (:
welcome to the madness of which is LEE!
-----------------------------------------
truckloads of pics from japan
couldn't have gone any better
if i could say so myself!
i experienced a typhoon, an earthquake,
the japanese elections, a police car chase,
a bleeding man at the flight of the subway stairs,
say it and we most probably saw it haha
going back in april! (:
first family trip in years
i'll let the pics do the talking!
...
i'm going to melaka next week
and 2 weeks after that i am going back to kl
