floral rhapsody
Sunday, January 23, 2011 || 10:47 PM
I came to BTC with WY this morning after a 6 hour session of non-stop packing and doing emails late into wee hours of the morning yesterday. I think we need to start stocking up on our supply of food at home. We actually had nothing to eat last night, and kept complaining of hunger from 12-3.30am. We couldn't order Macs as well because we'd already sinned on that the night before :X Anyhow, I've been sitting here waiting for him to end lessons so we can have lunch and I have my MNO textbook opened at page 25 (1st page of Chapter 1). It's been this way since 10am -.-"
As you can see, I'm terribly distracted. It's been a crazy few weeks preparing for the January launches. I love this period where everyone's shopping and I get to shop quite a bit myself even though I'm not celebrating CNY this year. Heehee I haven't bought new clothes in a while laaa (those from MMTP do not count hahaha).
So finally, we've reached our last launch for January. We prepared for this dress like 4-5 months ago, and have been scouring high and low for the right floral fabric and almost gave up on it until one day in December, we finally got a call that there were new floral prints and they were actually lovely! What a relief. You don't know how difficult it is to find pretty floral fabrics these days! This year, we're not really into the oriental designs, so we've picked a classic pleated sleeveless cut so that even past CNY, customers can still wear this piece out on normal days!
Anyhow, as the sample arrived really late (*1@#$$#$%%#$), we couldn't take photos of the dress at our studio in time. We decided to have an outdoor shoot at Haji Lane instead :) It's convenient for us because Vainpot is just there haha. I felt so self-conscious, partly because I just had a haircut and that aunty at AMK totally didn't understand what was "please trim my fringe a little, only a little bit". I told WY I was better off trimming my fringe myself, as I'd been doing the last month or so, and I was right lor! I look like a toot China doll now -.-" Please ignore my face and just look at the really pretty dress!!! :D
spotted a fat sleeping cat hiding behind the potted plants and wanted to disturb it (no, i didn't!). i suspect it's the same cat i took photo with last January along Haji hahaha
went to the boutique to change!
obviously very distressed that so many people are walking past.
The dress will be launched tomorrow night. I will try my very best not to make it my usual style at 2 or 3am heh. SEE YOU THEREEEEE ;)
p.s. if you think the photos are nice, please give WY a compliment. Hahaahaha i am always finding flaws with his photos he says :X

my third blog post - by Matt

hello again everyone.
i hope i dont bore everyone every time i blog, please let me know if i do. just comment and i will try my best to be less boring/irritating!
anyway today is my emo day. i know being emo probably seems to some people as juvenile or immature or WTH?!, but i just felt really really lousy today. and how ever you wish to label it, i shall just call it my EMO-MOMO day. see, i can still link momo(teapots) to my everyday life! hahahaha
i tweeted hoping to let it all out, but it didnt really help even though i kept twitter-whining. then i got several tweets back from all my loveliest friends, and it kind of helped a little. and got a whatsapp message from my best friend Cam and it helped a little more (yes, i've just got an iphone4!) but i cant seem to pull myself out of all this sadness, loneliness, stress, fatigue blahblahblah. YES, at this point of time, if you find me a whining piece of shit or a useless emo kid, you may comment to laugh at me, and this time im sure any one will feel more superior than me (cos i feel super duper lousy and inferior, you can win me hands down).
anyway, one reason why i decided to blog today is not to whine even more, or maybe i will get killed tmr for being such an annoying shit. but, i just thought, i should thank my friends for being there. im truly grateful, im so thankful for whoever's up there who brought all of you my dearest friends into my life. thank you @cam, @jemchia, @piggy, @yeek, @weiqi, @yx, @cheryl, @kristi, @jonny, @ivan, @jteh, @clara, @yina, thank you for tweeting me. im sorry i made you guys worried, was honestly not trying to attract attention, just needed to let it out a little just now.
and i THINK cos my law friends wanted to cheer me up (okay guys, please correct me if im too self-loving or think too much) they actually stayed back in school after our common lecture at 6.30pm to wait for me (and jonny) to finish our tutorial at 8.30pm so we could go for dinner together. whatever the dinner was meant for, i hope you guys know im thankful, and im really glad i have you guys as friends in law school - would really have died so long ago struggling with school without you guys! XIE XIE NI MEN, smartie pantssss. (okay, im starting to sound so damn emo-momo and mushy, please try to ignore me if you really cannot tahan.)
START READING FROM HERE IF YOU HATE BLOG-POSTS FULL OF WORDS:
AND FINALLY, here's some pics at the place we went for dinner! it is a korean restaurant at bukit timah! sorry for the blur photos, used my iphone and wasnt steady enough!
the menu was damn crumpled. it either means the place is shitty or too many people have used it! its the latter! the place serves really good food and the portions are big! i must bring serene <3 and my family here to try soon! bb will loveeeeee it!
the AMAZING side dishes (banchan)! they have so many variaties the whole table was filled with so many bowls. really nice just looking at all the bowls haha!
i especially like the mushrooms, the fishcakes, the sausages, the radish AND the IKAN BILIS (really damn nice can!)
we just kept eating the side dishes i think we'd be satisfied just eating all the different types of banchan!
the food is really good, and its FREE FLOW! really force the gluttons out of all of us and no one on a diet should EVER step foot into this place - it will be the greatest temptation (or second, or third) of your life. REALLY!
talking about food, i decided i might as well blog about the super nice crepes serene and i ate two weeks back! it was my first time trying the place (Out of the Pan at Raffles City) and it was a really good meal too! we went in mostly cos of the UOB 1-for-1 (crepes only) promotion though! here's some (quite a lot, actually) pics:
love taking photos of her although she hates my photography skills! readers, please praise me if you think this photo is okay!hahaha
the peking duck savoury crepe! very nice but would have appreciated more sauce!
i think my dad will like this - he loves wraps and he enjoys the wraps even at fast food joints even though he hates fast food!
photo credits to serene! she's better at taking photos i admit :)
the seafood crepe! this was nicer than the peking duck one, and they are quite generous with the prawns!
and it tasted quite healthy and original! (sorry if you think im trying too hard to be like a food blogger! hahah im actually not trying, and i know my vocab is not great so dont expect too much of me haha)
and after the savoury crepes (main meal), we decided to go for dessert - more crepes! this is also mostly because of the 1-for-1 crepes deal too though. YES im cheapo/greedy like that!
the sweet crepes were nice too! they come with ice cream and make a really good dessert i think!
photo credits to serene again! she makes all food look nice!
the crepes were quite cheap cos of the promotion, came up to only about $7-$8 before the ++! very worth it with the promo but a little ex for dessert at its original price!
might consider eating the crepes again if there's the same promo next time, YAY cheap good food ftw!
alright, im kind of done with blogging! shall go catch up with sleep after i read a few pages of my equity&trusts textbook! sigh i totally didnt understand a single thing during lecture and tutorial, i better start reading up and trying to comprehend soon! i wish i have 48h a day, then i can do MMTP without feeling so damn guilty for not studying, and i can sleep more - im so sleep deprived i have been packing till 3-4plus every night and getting up in the morning for school/photoshoot/work!
and to end my post, here's a pic of serene in our MMTP OHSOGORGEOUS peacock-print maxi that is sold out on our site that day we had crepes!
<3 you, please know that.

WY and I have finally got rid of our unruly mop of hair! The both of us made an appointment to have our hair cut with Tricia's boyf John before our Krabi trip.
Check out my horrigible awful out-of-shape hair before the hair cut!
before the massive Haji Lane flea market a few weeks back. i tried out my new pink lipstick from ASOS!
OTD: ASOS Oversized Mid-length Maxi Dress, ASOS Drawstring Bucket Bag, BKK flats
i love hot pink nails! they are so happy and happening. just painted them hot pink again this week!
At Salon Vim. Check out Weiyi's justin bieber hair
and tadah! end product.
awww so sweet! 5 years off my age! I remember the first time I decided to attempt bangs, I was on exchange in Germany. I told WY on Skype that I was really itching to cut my fringe off, so I went to search Youtube tutorials and told WY to "hold my hand" on Skype while I did just that. He has photographic evidence of my crazy act. And of course I cut it off too short the first time, and when I came back I was too lazy to maintain it.
Anyway this is our first visit to a professional salon to cut our hair. No wonder people go there! Their service was excellent, and the hair wash was damn shiok! I love getting my hair cut cos' I enjoy being pampered la and I like how my hair was so nicely blown in. Shoulder-length hair is so hard to maintain on my own cos' it keeps flying outwards and I get lazy on normal days to blow-dry it.
just after our haircut. WY had such nicely styled hair. He looks like a pretty korean boy with perfect skin
other cam-whore evidence and evidence that we don't put in enough effort to style our hair
whee, just trimmed my own bangs today. ready to meet my long-lost Bev and Zhu tomorrow! :) By the way, we just had photoshoot with Ding Xuan this week. PHOTOS ARE LOOKING AWESOME! I love our upcoming new label! Just a sneak peak for youuuu :P
WY was being mean during this photoshoot. After he took a few shots of DX, and it was my turn, he said, "The photos look very dark. Like really dark. You look chao tar." So he proceeded to ask JM to help us take a look and see if anything could be done about the settings. Then, he took a few more shots and he said "Actually, it's just you la." WTH. And DX said I really look like Pocahontas -.-" Together with her, we are Snow White & Pocahontas. I have no explanation for my skin colour...except I just came back from Krabi and I'm nursing a really bad tan?
