Arghh!!

How come nobody tells me about Maroon 5 coming to Singapore.. :( I just found out today (off the radio) and it's too late to go now..! Not to mention I also missed F1.. arghh.. this is really not nice!!



p/s: I think Adam Levine is wayyy hotter than Brad Pitt

What to wear... hmm...

Guess what? I'm going to US!! Well, I am actually nervous with this new job. Close friends should know how much this is bothering me lately. New job, new boss, new team members. I am not moving to a new company, just moving to a new role but after 4 years in this current position, I have to finally leave my comfort zone.

I am literally freaking out that even this US trip doesn't excite me.. I am trying to think positive here so the only way to keep me happy is probably to think of what to wear during that trip! :)

I am seeing a lot of black coats, black opaque leggings, booties, leather biker's jacket. Gosh now I wish I live in Paris. Even photos look really good there.. I am really excited to go now!!

p/s: did i tell you that I am actually going to a resort in Texas? Dammit!!

Sale or Nothing

Tangs Pavilion is probably even better than the iconic one in Singapore. It stocks many chic labels that were previously unavailable for Malaysian market. There are Cacharel and BluGirl if you are a fan of the girly & demure French look, there's Alannah Hill the Australian designer famous for her fragile lace tops and dresses (she has a range of really pretty cardigans), and if you have been looking for a designer jeans, they also stock True Religion.

Moving on to the upper floor, I felt like the racks are filled with clothes from either Thailand or Hong Kong, the stuffs you normally find in Bangsar, only with bigger price tags. If you are a fan of TH/HK fashion but have not been very lucky to find your sizes in Bangsar, at least now you can try your luck at Tangs as department stores carry different sizes from XS to XL. I am in particular quite a fan of Martina Pink, Coterie & Je'taime. Oh yeah.. actually, if you have been to Bangkok and come across the Greyhound cafe or stores, yes.. Tang's also stock up this particular label! I am not a fan of this one though..

So, if you have not been to Tang's Pavilion yet, go check it out this weekend as the SALE IS ON! They have special mark downs for Karren Millen, Reese and Topshop. If you are a fan of CK underwear (both ladies & men), they have really good deals going on now as well.

No, this post is not brought to you by Tang's and No, my blouse is not sponsored by Tang's either. I am just a concerned citizen of KL fashionistas (with reasonably small budget) who feel obliged not to put her daily window shopping breaks to waste!

..You're welcome :)

Anxiety

I have this problem - I fumble when I feel pressured to say something! Went to my Toastmasters meeting on Wednesday, was very unlucky, got selected to deliver an impromptu speech. The topic was, of all things, "My Greatest Childhood Memories" - For god's sake!

I don't know why, the first thing that hit my mind was - those days when I used to play my mum's Jane Fonda aerobics on the VCR, and religiously follow the steps, every single day (without fail!) before I go to the kindergarten. Being someone who speaks her mind, naturally that came out of my mouth so here goes my speech:

"I had a freaky childhood. I don't think it was very interesting as the only thing I did was, watch Miss Universe, play Barbie Dolls, do Jane Fonda's workout before going to the kindergarten, borrow my maid's cosmetics and put make up on my school friends. *pause, pressured* I think this has influenced me to be who I am today *shut up!!* then I .. *said something something I couldn't remember* then I went back again to this has influenced me as I am obsessed with shopping now. *WTF??!!!* I don't know why I am telling you all this but this is VERY embarrassing!!"

So yes, it was disastrous.. :( I suck... BIG TIME!! now everyone at work is going to think that I am this snobbish- superficial-thing-so-don't-be-friends-with-her!!

To make things worse, few other girls went up and told stories about THEIR childhood, playing police & thieves, masak-masak, hide & seek in the kampung, etc.. and totally make me look like spoilt brat with pathetic childhood!

Seriously, I may be superficial but I am nice ok.. fine, a bit snobbish.. NO!! I'm actually shy... REALLY!!!!

New Addictions

Guess I am a late bloomer. I am a non-IT-savvy-IT-person. Hmm!! Seriously, yours truly just discovered facebook and guess what.. eBay!!! Duhh..

Gosh.. I can't even control my spending when time and energy is limited but with eBay, I can even shop from my own bedroom, from the office, from anywhere with broadband & seriously, I can now literally shop with one eye closed, single handedly!!! AWESOME or ... dangerous?

*I must say I am not very impressed with the shot above. How can you ever wear pastels without looking like aunt Gertrude?

p/s: Something I really wanted is finally happening (no, nothing associated with bells, diamonds or me looking like a floating angel or anything like that) but I am feeling rather nervous to move from my comfort zone..

Chanel Inspired

I went to Sg Wang last weekend, thought of checking out what they have on the 6th floor. Scored a few items including this emblem-ish brooch. I was looking for one for quite sometime, need it to refresh my old velvet jacket. Got this one for only RM15 which I think was quite a bargain!

Wet Saturday

Today I went to Sg Wang then Pavilion to watch Vantage Point. The movie is interesting, I like it coz it is different. The cinema was packed but the crowd was a little annoying. They kept sighing, making noises everytime the movie 'rewinds' and went through the views of the different characters (u have to watch to understand what I am saying).

Nissan has probably invested in this movie. I think the car chasing scene has gone a little too far. You will find their Nissan Tiida/Versa/Latio crashed into trucks, cars and still got away without dents on the front!

*Do you know?
The film was not actually shot in Plaza Mayor, Salamanca Spain. Mexico City doubled for Salamanca and the crew (led by the same person in charged of Moulin Rouge) built the exact replica of Plaza Mayor in Mexico City that took weeks to complete. The result? impressive & breathtaking!
