Boy was I excited as we took the long cab ride from the office to this quaint German restaurant (its name I can't recall at the moment), tucked at the corner of Millenia Walk.
A distinctly European furnishing of the dining area, with a snap of our waiter.
This was just a small portion of the German wine making machine. The larger part of it was actually a floor below us. You could almost smell the faint aroma warf pass as you enter...
YES, it was that BIG all rite!!
I wished I could have snapped my dish as well, but I didn't think it would be thaaaat appropriate for a new staff to whip out her camera while her Director and Manager were happily tucking in. LOL. I had saur crepe, which was something like shredded turnips, topped with yummy beef sausages (which frankly was a lil disappointing cos it was kinda small. I kinda expected huge bratswurst-sized ones).
Hows that for a gastronomical treat?

In the same week, it was my closest buddy/collegue Jing's last day. It was bittersweet, but its good to know that she'll be studying hard and playing hard for better things to come. It was kinda hard to make her go as mad as me, but with alil nudging and coaxing, she was certainly having a good time as my partner-in-crime...
Below, the temporary insanity we unleashed on tht fateful friday :P
Tsk tsk. lazying on the job already?
Babe, it was great knowing you. Thanks for making my days more fun and taking away that bit of monotonity. Keep in touch love!

If you have known the irreplaceable Miss Sherry Ong as much as I do, you'd understand why this was a No-Miss (she'd prolly kill me) event on my social calendar. After 3 years of mugging and4 intensive months of obsessive-compulsive panicking...the big day had finally arrived.
I give you, the TP DESIGN SCHOOL DIPLOMA SHOW, featuring first and foremost of course, my bestest friend and her really funky and unforgettable fruits of labor.
PS: I like the one with the faery and the rainbow...hey babe can i have tht?
It wasn't just posters and cards, the list was extensive; including book marks, phamplets and badges...etc.
Zee artist, Miss Sherry the Blueberry Ong, looking a lil tired but happy.
Grungy, delibrate ruggedness, coupled with a childlike touch. I loved that she made rainbows and torn pages go so well together, the contrast was blatant but gorgeous.
A mixed-media piece. Its almost warhol-ish in its own way.
Dying to take one home, haha, but ah well....
A faux movie poster created by one of the Diploma students, almost just as good as pro eh?
Ok im getting lazy, will continue with the photo-orgy tomolo. luv ya bye./

...when every sad love song seems to sing about you
...when all your sweetest memories becomes fuzzy and starts to fade
...when you heart goes from bleeding to becoming dull numbness
...when you think of him and you feel nothing but a sharp feeling of resentment
...............when that deep love turns into a deep hate........
That's when you know your love, is almost dead.

Janjan was a dearie, popping a sudden visit during my lunch break. Exhilarated, I treated her to the best Ban-Mian around the vicinity, and topped it off with bubble tea from my company's own cafe.
Thanks Jan, you made that Friday pass faster....
Cheers to our friendship!

Usually weekends would see me out frolicking with the girls (or guys as of late) so I wonder if the new change of relationship status had brought about that. I won't be embarassed to say that I'm not affected at all by that.
Haiz... im being bleeding' emo YET AGAIN.
Everyone's hot topics are still on the article that Dawn Yang wrote about the Edison Chen sex scandal.
So here's where I chip my two cents in about it; honestly, i dunno what that girl is trying to rally about. She starts off about how Edison (or as she so affectionately refers to as Eddie) hot/attractive (insert sexy embellishments) and recounts her close ecounter with him.
As you read on, you envision her shaking her pretty locks and squinting her lovely doe eyes in apparent disapproval. Then suddenly, rather abruptly, she pivots and made it that its not really his fault because he's hot and can land any chick he desires. We know it takes two hands to clap, but honestly babe, don't try to play neutral party.
What exactly is yr point of writing a piece that is contradicting from the very first word? -_-
Ok dawn-fanatics, don't start flaming me for my opinion. Just practising my right of speech.
Go sob in a dark corner if you feel hurt aite?

Random stuff...
I'm bloody disappointed about the new makeover of FEMALE magazine. It was my personal fashion bible, and religiously collected most of the issues. Unlike uber niched magazines with the likes of Vogue and Elle (too high fashion and fairy-tale prices), it was a pragmatic choice and could ease in the local context. few highlights that i liked:
-formal wear: like how to stretch officewear and be versatile in choices. great for newly working adults
-health: eating healthy but not compromising on the delectable and appetite-whetting palate.who ever knew fast food could be healthy too?
-new shopping spots: providing alternatives to the usual retailers and stores.
Unfortch, while the new preppy-sorta-quirky-mod coverlook is nicer, advertisements to editorials ratio are about 1 in every 2 pages. there is significantly lesser content value and the team could have done better than just upping the aesthetic of the mag.
I had wanted to intern for FEMALE sometime in the near future but i guess that is kaput for now. LOL ah well.

-PS I love you
-Spiderwick chronicles
-Priceless
-The other Boelyn Girl
-Trade
-Quinceanera
Out!

Soft brown that I once trusted with my all have now become foreign and unfamiliar.
Behind the angelic facade lies a malicious stranger.
Which of your promises were ever true? I know now, through the words of others.
metamorphising as a better and happier human.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Never again will my heart open for you, never again shall it bleed.
And, I refuse to cry. for no longer, shall tears will fall from these eyes.
Happily Never After by Nicole Sherzinger
She says to herself, "You've left before,"
To drag her suitcase down the path,To the driveway.
She had never gone that far....
Normally this would be the time that she would let him talk her out of leaving,
But this time, without crying,as she got into her car, she said,
"No'Happily Never After...
That just ain't for me.
Because finally,I knowI deserve better, after all (ooooh)
I'll never let another teardrop fall."
No destination, she drove for miles,
wondering why she stayed in such denial.
She was laughing about the way he shattered something else
(shattered something else)
To drag her suitcase down the path,to the driveway ,she had never gone that far (oh, no)
Normally this would be, the time that she would let him talk her out of leaving,
No'Happily Never After'...
That just ain't for me(that just ain't for me)
Because finally,I know I deserve betterAfter all(that just ain't for me, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)
I'll never let another teardrop fall.
"I'm done, I'm done, said I'm so done, I'm free, I'm free, so free.
Free to feel the way I feel, yeah.
She inhales a breath she'd never breathed before
Don't want no drama no more.'Cause she says " No'Happily Never After' (after)
That just ain't for me"
"I know I deserve, better after all I know I'll never let another teardrop fall"
