Apple MUST have concocted a new virus that spread around the world through all means of communication. It is airborne, internet-borne and watever-borne.

It makes people ADDICTED to have everything Apple.

I had the iPod mini, which is now donated to a better cause, the Nano, the iMac and was patiently waiting for the iPhone….

And now they come out with iPodTouch!??

They really wan me to have mini+nano+imac+iPodtouch+iphone!!?!!!

Siao liao lah, everything apple.

When I first saw the iPodTouch this morning online, I think I had a mental orgasm. It was beautiful and just the way I like it. The thing about Pda Phones is that I don’t know what to do about the Phone because I just want the pda functions.

Spoke to the salesgirl for HTC Touch,”Can I just use the pda functions without a Sim Card?”

She says,”Er…why would you want to do that? I think can lah. Maybe not complete functions…”

Now even better still, I can have my cake and eat it too. Wooo….I can have my pda with my Samsung 10.9 mobile phone! Yay!

But gotta wait till the end of the month before it’s out in the stores…boy I can’t wait!

This is gonna be a chor month…IpodTouch + Digicam =  Drink water + Eat Breaktalk for 3 months.

PS: They got new nano too! Damn them!

The music!

The lights!

The beautiful costumes!

The dancing!

(Ok this one was taken there)

With 20 of the world’s best ballroom and latin dancers, everything was perfect at Floorplay.  I wanted to go for it this week, but work was shit and I was busy as hell and so I forgot about it. Fortunately a friend reminded me about it and 87 went to get the tickets so that I could catch my favourite kinda show.

I love to watch transvestites/transexuals performances, dancing shows(hip hop, ballroom….definitely not line dancing), plays and local production.

It was really nice! However, I was a little hungover from the night before(Read gotham post) and probably he was too, because he looked a little stoned/bored. And who am I to judge/complain…I almost closed my eyes too. Hheeheh BUT after a glass of white wine during the interval, we felt better….nothing like having some alcohol to cure a hangover.

Don’t you think Floorplay, when said out fast, can be mistaken for Foreplay? Heheh I have short tongue I think.

This is going to be my new hangout place from now on.

Heard from Liz that there are striptease performances for da LADIES every Friday and Saturday, but never thought of it seriously.

Then last Saturday the few of us decided to try someplace new…someplace where we can be crazy and nobody will recognize us and Gotham came to mind.

Woah…boy was I in for a treat. Or should I put it…

Men…was I in for a treat.

When I went in, I was JUST in time for the show…the fit men were already gyrating their hips to the music and taking off their shirts in front of the hungry/humsup women(me included) making them scream in excitement(me included - never see b4 ma)…they didn’t take off everything at every song lah. Sometimes just show you the body(which is usually the case) and once in a blue moon….they moon you a little…

In their hot, black thongs.

Oh

My

Gawd

(In a *Janice* manner - you’d understand if you watched Friends)

Men should learn to wear such underwear. Seriously. Look at what women go through to turn their men on…

Painful facials, waxes(brazilian especially), g-strings(constant wedgie) etc etc…

Men should try the thong…mmm.

Anyway, nasty thoughts aside, that night was really good and I told Liz about it and she is definitely going there this weekend. Muahahaha.

*This post is actually meant for last Wed! Thought I should at least post it up or this post will GO STALE! Pictures later then.* 

Got off work earlier than expected because the markets were too volatile for me to step in the trading room to update the limits for the trading systems - something I really dread but it’s what I gotta do sooner or later. Ugh.

We went shopping…bought some clothes and yet ANOTHER pair of shoes(you always know what suits me best *wink wink*). My shoe fetish is back again…3 pairs in 1.5 weeks…not very good. My dad hasn’t seen them yet….because I hide them in my room first.

Hmm now that I think about it, I got shopping problem again. I keep thinking about buying something. I am constantly shopping and buying something new every week. What I did last year was to join a gym so that I won’t have the time to go shop. And as time went by, I have evolved to shopping online or going to the shop twice instead.

1st visit to check the clothes out and then go back and ponder on it.

2nd visit is to try it and buy it.

By the time I finish gym, people are already heading back to office and there are not many crowds and I can shop pretty fast around then.

Just today I got a dress and a skirt to match my cream shoes that I bought yesterday, along with 2 skirts and a pants(just because it was really cheap). I got it like in 10 mins. Hahah because I always liked that dress and somehow TODAY was the day to buy it and just nice got 40%discount on 2nd item. HOW NOT TO BUY IT. OMG OMG OMG. 

Not to mention the stuff I bought online NOT yet sent to me. And just last Sunday, I checked out Bobbi Brown’s new stonewashed collection and needless to say, I spent a small fortune on makeup to add to my collection. And some items were out of stock(horror horror!) and I was so determined to get them, I told her to call me AS soon as they stocks arrive.

Shit.

I am in deep shit.

I need to stop shopping.

Sure I can wear my dresses twice within a short span in time! Hell I should just wear them twice a week!

I can do it!

When I go home, instead of surfing for clothes, I will start playing my stupid computer games or put mask. Alright…this is what I am gonna do!

Hmm on another note, maybe I shall just try to CUT down first. Cold turkey isn’t going to work for me..

Anyway back to my date….

We weren’t very hungry and so we shared a sandwich set at Breadtalk. How romantic.

The movie Hairspray was absolutely enjoyable for the both of us, the music, the dancing, the story and the actors…mmm the actors…Linc! Corny Collins! So handsome!!!

Swooon.

It was late…but it was too early for the night to end. So we hopped over to Clarke Quay and into Attica for quick drinks. A few Cosmopolitans later(free for ladies - go check out Guilty Desires!), we found ourselves on the dance floor having only eyes for each other and grooving to the hip-hop beats of DJ Titus and Partyman(Hahah - private joke). We actually were looking more like teachers heading out for a night of fun because we were neatly dress obviously came from work, while the rest of the people were dressed to kill and to hunt and to be hunted. Whahaha….we just had eyes for each other and didn’t care what was happening around us…

And that is the recipe for a wonderful night out. Being in your own world, not having a care in the world….

It’s been a long while Liz…I had so much fun. We should do it again.

Men are passe already. Dating your best friend(of the same sex, in your opinion) is the new in thing to do now.

(sorry dunno why photobucket the picture so bloody small)

Finally watched 200 pounds beauty last Sunday and I must say that it’s a really awesome show and it’s a wonderful way to end the weekend doing that while curled up comfortably under the duvet. Did you know that the actress actually sang her own song?! I love it! Although it was a cover of Blondie’s song, but still!!!! It’s really nice.

It’s funny how the Korean language sounds really nice when its sung than when people talk. Hmmm.

Totally reminds me of the days when I was fat and the teasing I had at that time. The common remarks from the aunties then were,”oh, er you don’t eat so much ok. Try to control yourself.” or “You are OK now, don’t gain anymore weight.” or “If you were slimmer you’ll surely be very pretty.” or “Why you become so big sized!?” I know how it feels and so I never say to someone in the face that they gained weight(even if its from size 6 to size 40)….weight is such a sensitive topic(to me at least).

Those were also the days whereby I myself tried hard to lose weight but it just didn’t work. Clothes looked like shit on me, I was fatter so my boobs were bigger and so when I wore tighter clothes, it sorta looked…erm…well…sleazy on me.

So when I miraculously lost weight after college(maybe it’s just that I slept too much and I ate one meal a day) and had a new body to go along with it, I told myself never to go back to being fat again. Memories from before makes me shudder and I totally understand why my old fren wanted to burn away all her old photos of her being fat and shit.

You just don’t want to be reminded of the situation you were in last time. The teasing, the sniggering, the pressure….

Hmmm anyway the movie about this fat girl who became thin and pretty after diet, exercise and plastic surgery and that was something relatable to.

Yeah, everyone thinks that plastic surgery is fake, but who secretly doesn’t want to change something about themselves that they hate?

Anyway enough of my blabbering, I have been blog surfing and girls you might want to try to visit ilovebeautystuff for your dose of latest makeup/skincare products and comments. Quite interesting….makeup and skincare, my lethal poison…I quote Liz,”I don’t have to go to Tangs Beauty Hall anymore…I come to your house can already. You have all the latest products that you haven’t even use yet.”

Teeheehee.

Definition of -_-” : Sian ji pua face. A face of acceptance with no sign of fighting back or no response. You just feel like saying…OK…dooo dee dooo deee doooo… 

We were walking past the Sony showcases along Citylink Mall yesterday and I realised that Sony now has Cybershot T200!

I was going to get the T100 the other time but still wasn’t sure then so I didn’t get it. And now they have T200! Woah…must be even better right…

Me: Alright man, I am so excited. Lucky I didn’t get the Sony T100 that time, so fast got new one already! T200!!!

M: Seriously, I think if were you, I’ll wait for the Sony T300!!!!

-_-”

Then later I was at Accessorize where they were having their mega sale, 50% off and 70% off! I love sales!!!!

Me: Wow they all look so nice! Why do I have to fall in love with this pair of slippers/bag or watever?!!!

M: You seem to fall in love with everything you see and want to buy all of them.

-_-”

This person obviously hates my shopping feel.

I was totally in the mood for coffee and dessert after dinner. It didn’t matter if it was totally pouring outside nor it was super crowded at every coffeehouse we went , we finally settled down at Starbucks and we got our desserts and cuppa for the day.

Ah…how nice. A cuppa hot coffee with something sweet like a chocolate eclair to go along with it. The mood was right. The company was right. The dinner before was amazing….

M: Your eclair doesn’t taste very good.

-_-”

Why must you spoil the MOMENT?

This morning somemore can ask me,”Did you get stomachache?”

I asked back,”No, why would I have?”

“Well, your eclair tasted funny…”

-_-”

TGIF. More to blog for the weekend…the draft post is up, I just need to fill in the peektures. Yay.

Without the fuss and without the muss.

No worries about “qualifying” for the minimum income requirement(that sux I know). 

Nowadays it’s so easy to own a credit card. I remember when I was studying in NUS, I wished SO hard to own a CREDIT card so that I could make online purchases like movie tickets, concert tickets or bills, or SWOOOOSH it out when I am about to pay the bill in a fancy restaurant. And I was SO super happy to get the UOB Campus DEBIT card….but it’s different lah….

How I wished Citibank did this 5 years earlier.

Application requirements
- There is no minimum income requirement
1. Tertiary students can apply
2. Working adults can apply (there is no minimum income, but  applicant should still be employed)
3. Minimum age requirement is 21 years old (for non-students)
4. Students above 18 years can apply, but they need  parental/guardian consent

Now tertiary students and people who earns less than the normal stipulated requirement can own their first credit card, the Citibank Clear Card. I’d be so happy to own this if I was still a student.

Actually apart from being a human and a student, Mussel can qualify for the card! He’s like 3 years old, which is like 3X7=21 in dog years. And he has a parent (me!)….heee obviously I will consent to it. Wouldn’t it be cool for him to have it! He can pay his medical bills with his paw.

Have you checked out the One-Touch Biometrics Payment mode? You use your fingerprint to pay, it is even better than signing! Now people cannot forge your signature! Unless, they are like Hannibal Lector and cut out ur skin on your thumb for them to use. But that’s a little far fetched…won’t happen to you. Think you can use it to go into zouk without bringing your wallet…just need to bring your thumb. Which you will!

How easy!

All the perks of the Citibank Clear Card without all the troublesome requirements of other credit card companies. Ain’t that a cool thing to have right now if you are frustrated by the rules and requirements.

Now got some offer somemore if you apply online!

Only thing that it has a credit limit capped at like $500, but this is what you should expect since there is no minimum income requirement. Hahah it stops you from shopping too much too! Good idea for students who are shoppaholic like me or alcoholic like 87(won’t go club and order tons and tons of alcohol). Did I mention that there is 1-for-1 drinks at Velvet and Winebar with that card!? And there is free entry to velvet for the first 350 peeps! Woah…coolios man. You save money on drinks and your cover charge. What I am most afraid of when I lose my credit card is the time period between losing it and realising that it was lost…

The bugger could have went to Gucci to purchase a lot of gucci bags(maybe girl) for herself!!! Then I really sian liao loh.

Pros and cons lah. Maybe I might get that for myself as a spare credit card, for clubbing and going overseas(losing your card overseas is WORSE!!!!), I wont over spend too! Wonderful.

Peace of mind when you go travelling.

So what are you waiting for?

Sign up here!

Yes Liz you have been REPLACED. I realise that my Ipod Nano really seems to know me very well. It sorta knows what kind of music I need at the right moment.

Of course sometimes he(yes I like to think of it as a man…a black 8gb device somehow just seems MANLY) tries to be funny and gives me songs that I absolutely hate(like those chinese songs that my brother uploaded to my pc and I still haven’t deleted them after a year), but most of the time he does his work well.

When I run, it’s always able to give me my heart-thumping songs when I shuffle and if not, I’ll just switch to my trusty playlist. It’s the best gadget I’ve gotten this year and it’s worth every single cent. I bring it with me everyday, on the train, on the bus, on the mrt, in the gym, in the car, for shopping, for studying…

Today he did it again.

The nano somehow knew what kinda mood I was in, and played the following songs on my mrt ride to work this morning.

1) Sa Rang Hae Yo ???? - JJ Lin
2) Baby Baby Baby - TLC
3) Fallin’ - Boyz II Men
4) Because of You - NeYo
5) You and I - Chris Botti/Michael Buble

Approximately 3-4 mins each and just nice for my 20-23min ride to work.

woah.

Amazing I tell you. I’ll marry that nano if it were human.

I’m sure you can tell what mood I am in…can you?

“Bo Biang” or “Bo Bian”, we are teochews so I think it’s the former.

That’s what my parents have been telling my grandmother everyday when we ask her how is she feeling and she complains of the pain. That is probably the saddest thing a patient can hear from her family/doctor. I don’t want to ask her that question anymore because I don’t want to say that to her.

Grandma has been growing weaker by the day, “Detoriating by the day…and “by the day”…that’s really scary” like my father would put it. And ever since I moved in with her, I am able to see for myself the full scary effects of ageing.

Dinner was good, Sambal(I think…yes my face is going to rot) petai and prawns(separated), soup and bean sprouts….delicious. I miss going home for dinner sometimes, especially when mommy decides to cook dishes that I love.

But I had mixed feelings at the dinner table.

I looked to my left, I saw sweet hope for the future and then when I looked to my right, I saw Grandma struggling to eat her food. Yes, she can still bite and chew, but her hands are no longer as strong and I suppose that episode on Monday left her weaker than ever.

Osteoperosis they call it….a scary sickness that plagues many women. My other grandma probably died of it, my mom has a little bit of it, the wife of a doctor I used to work for also has it…it seems like every woman has it! And I don’t drink MILK at all!

I will get it the earliest I think.

So I saw Grandma struggling to eat her favourite fish head, slowly and sometimes dropping the bones on herself(that was a sad picture)…the worst was probably her trying to drink a spoonful of soup by herself. Her hands were shaking, some soup spilling over, but that strong lady still insisted on eating by herself. I guess that’s where my dad and I got our stubbornness from. Ha.

Is it really true if one spouse goes, the other also feels weakened because his/her mate is gone? Grandma is so much weaker than when I saw her at Grandpa’s funeral 3 months ago.

And in time to come, she probably has to stay downstairs at the storeroom…cos she can’t really go up or down the stairs anymore.

The full effects of ageing, right before my eyes…

*Shudder*
