$325

I am rich!!!!!! Although $325 may not be a lot compared to what some ah sia kias (rich people's sons) are getting, but it's still a pretty good sum of effortless cash!

Daddy gave me the most money ($200), followed by a mysterious parent (I think it's Kelvin's) who gave the second most: $28.

Angpows are sooooo shiok! It's the best thing about being Chinese, followed closely by xiao long baos (and various other cuisines such as the salted egg yolk prawns) and the beautiful language of Mandarin.

This year I kept getting invited to prestigious houses to bai nian! Qing asked me to go to her sister's place (I actually yelped in excitement in the middle of mahjong) although I am forbidden to tell you guys who she is (if you guess it correctly in the comments I will delete it!).

And then Ming asked me to go to this guy's place... HIS HOUSE GOT FLAMINGOS AND PEACOCKS WALKING AROUND CAN!!!!!!

And it's supposedly super super big too!!

Too bad the stupid Junne dua me in the end, so I had no one to go with me and missed the opportunity. See la, she made you guys miss an interesting blog entry! Never mind, still got next year!

Some of you might be hmpf-ing at me and asking, "What makes you think you will even live till next year? Your obesity will kill you soon!"

First of all, I am trying my best to diet in the midst of ba kwa and unlimited snacks lying around, ok! Stop saying I am fat!

Secondly, I am determinded to stay alive till next year at least, because I NEED to read the last Harry Potter book before I die!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Doesn't it sound extremely forbidding and exciting? YES IT DOES!

I'm going to go into Harry Potter frenzy again!! JK Rowling announced that the book will be published on 21st July, and that, my blogders, will be the day I... no, one day after that (gimme some time to read the book), will be the day you can kill me.

I mean, of course I still won't be very happy about being killed, but hey, at least I won't be pondering in hell what happened to Harry...

Bill and Fleur are gonna get married! And Victor Krum is coming back into the scene! How will Ron react? Is Dumbledore really dead? How did Rowling get so funny?

She is so totally my favourite writer. I know you guys thought I sounded really stupid in that GoL ep with SPG but I am NOT kidding when I said that the Harry Potter series (as a whole) is my favourite book in the world.

Why would people choose a cheam and dull book to be their favourite? The Harry Potter series is intriguing and funny and a breeze to read. Perfect! I am not ashamed of my choice and I will not be conformed into saying any other book is my favourite!

ANYWAY!

A few pictures. It's like a Mike Galore, I shot so much pictures of him!

Me and Him at the new Marche. Or V'iage or whatever it is called now, still the same damn thing.

Unshaven and drinking!

Rozz asked me to go the Biotherm launch, they gave us $500 worth of Biotherm vouchers!!! *boggle-eyed*

I had SUCH a good time choosing all my products.

Thought I'd put up the uncensored version of this photo.


Mike's olive green eye

I took this while he was lying in bed beside me. It's so bloody unfair! Look at how pretty real coloured eyes are! It's so intriguing; the sea-green blends into the brown and forms a flower-like pattern.

GRRRRR. Why can't ALL the races have coloured eyes?

Hmmm cute


Last day of being blonde

I somehow look like a tranny in that picture. Why?

Anyway, black hair.

It's so funny! I never really thought about what race I look like, and I just always presumed I look Chinese even with light-coloured hair.

But only after I dyed my hair (and cut my stupid fringe to go with it) did I realise how much more oriental I looked!

After Mike and I *ahem-ed* that day, I caught our reflection in the mirror and exclaimed with a loud gasp, "Oh my god! We just had inter-racial sex! That's like so weird!!"

He frowned at me and said placidly that has been happening for some time now, but well, before this I always had the same-ish hair colour as him so it really never occured to me how fundamentally different we are!

(Isn't it funny? People think it's crude when you talk about having sex, but everyone with children, or pregnant ladies, are doing exactly the same thing except it's not out loud. They all have sex too!)

Black hair

Went to Weili's farewell party at his club...

Weili has the same pose in so many pictures! Hahaha...

You can't see it, but the hair colour is really dark blue! The dye stains the back of shirts, towels, as well as pillow cases a dull purplish tone. Not good!

The dye and cut courtesy of Kimage, of course.

Sudden irrelevant photo: My beautiful nails!

I am so talented! I stuck on my residue crystals on the nails and they look SOOO splendid.

Mike Mike Mike:

In case you are wondering about the straw, we were trying to take a photo and see what the straw will look like. We found out it mostly would be an uninteresting blur.

Ha! I found his perfect angle while he was using the comp, so I made him take a dozen photos in that pose!

Wong is siao! She asked us all to go to iFuture at the Science Center, which, in my humble opinion, is quite boring.

All they had as a redeeming factor is this neat optical illusion!

Isn't it cool?? With some mirrors they made it look like someone with a sense of humour chopped Wong's and Mike's heads to put on fruit platters.

Mike's "dead" face is totally unconvincing. Wong's much better as an actress.

That's all for today! I got a lot of pictures of my KL trip, as well as CNY day 1 and 2.

Luv!

p/s: Are the colours of the pictures nice? Did something special with them. :) And also, yes, these are the photos AFTER the nose job. There's no need to scrutinize, coz I STILL edit my face, ha! Don't blame me! I'm just a perfectionist like that!

p/p/s: Mike is NOT younger than me. He is 26 this year!!

Happy CNY

WOAH!!

My muscles are aching ALL OVER!!!!!

Momo and I went to Ikea and bought $350 worth of furnishing stuff (all paid by me -_- except for the paint which Momo kindly sponsored), including two new cupboards and a cute flower nightlight!

Momo took my loft bed over to her room ("easier to vaccuum") and left me with a super-single mattress to sleep on the floor till she buys a new bed for me :D

Many years ago when we just moved in here, I told my mom I wanted my room pink, so she bought pink paint for me... But I really don't like that shade (like strawberry ice-cream shade... I know! I am so difficult), so today! I finally did something about it and painted a wall a deep shade of pink!

I think I'll either put mirrors half over it or paint a mural.

Meanwhile, Mike seems to have secured a job here (all fingers crossed), and it is my one true wish that he turns into a rich angmoh! Then I'll be one of those girls dating rich angmohs - which, I can only imagine, rules!!!!

MUAHAHAHA!

It will possibly rule till some maid walking along Orchard road tries to seduce my rich angmoh by feeding him some nasi kangkang.

Nasi kangkang, a single most disgusting person informed me some time ago, is, erm... cursed rice.

When fed to a man, he will be smitten by you and will do anything for you!

Erm, apparently, the way to make nasi kangkang (or so I heard, do correct me if I am wrong) is to cook a bowl of steaming rice and...

SQUAT ABOVE IT AND LET THE WATER CONDENSE ON YOUR BYEBYE!

And thus the water drips back into the rice, and all that's left now is to feed it to the man of your choice, and he is yours!!!!!

YIKES!

So gross!

The byebye won't burn meh, I thought steam is 100 degrees leh! Orh bi good if she burns I guess, serves her right for resorting to trickery like this!

Ha! I am imagining some chick trying to do this and burning her genitals. She'll be hopping around feeling damn pissed off with herself! Not only did she not succeed in making a bowl of nasi kangkang, even if the boy likes her out of his own will she can't have sex with him coz she is burnt! MUAHAHA


Obviously, some of you may be frowning now, thinking, "Why would Mike accept a bowl of rice from some strange female?"

That, my dear friend, is good and logical thinking, but angmohs are super greedy and will eat anything! I'm just saying.

I got shitloads of photos but no time to edit them yet.

And for those of you who wanted Rozz's blog add, here it is! She's a pretty good blogger I must say. :)

Pictures maybe tomorrow or the day after.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone and many many angpows!!!!!

p/s: Mike left for home yesterday and I am really sad coz I wanted to dress him up in a traditional navy blue mandarin collar satin shirt. I thought he would look so good in it! When I told him this, he shook his head and said he is not my doll. Bah! He is not a fun and oriental-loving angmoh.

Happy V day

Just got back from a holiday in Malaysia with Gillian, Rozz, Ashley, and their respective boyfriends/husband.

Sorry for the lack in updates lar! I brought my laptop there and wanted to blog, but as it turns out there is no free wifi in M'sia. Sorry!

We had SUCH great food in Penang! I officially call it the best restaurant in the world, coz they served the best lala, crab (cheese crab!) and prawns I've ever eaten, with the prawns being the most fab of all.

It was shelled (leaving just the head and the tail bits) and deep-fried and breaded with what appears to be a mixture of golden-brown batter and salted egg yolk!!

SOOOOOOOO good!

I've been feeling very tormented lately coz I really want a tattoo and my mom and Mike both don't like the idea.

I'd go ahead and do it, but Momo threatens to throw me out of the house, and I am scared that Mike gets repulsed by me or something.

:(((((((((((((((

And I REALLY DETEST the feeling that I am stopped from doing something I want to do by someone else's judgement.

It's making me sooo pissed off I wanna box something. Or rapidly mince a tiny animal.

Why can't people just be happy for me for such a simple thing? It's my own body leh, and it seems very weird to me that if I were to scratch myself tomorrow skiing or something, and leave a permanent scar, nobody is gonna keep telling me, "Oh, you will regret skiing now, won't you?" coz they just know it's done and whatever they say just won't change anything.

I also hate the people who keep saying that I will regret doing it.

You know what?

YOU will regret doing it.
I won't.

I am not you, so don't judge me based on your own thinking - we are different.

These are the exact same sort of people who keep telling me that eating a bit of parsley (coriander, whatever) won't kill me.

FUCK OFF! Just coz you don't mind parsley doesn't mean I necessarily feel the same way about it, ok?

How badly do I dislike parsley? Well, if I eat it, I will puke.

If I were forced to choose to eat the 100g of my own shit (not Cloudy's, Cloudy's shit is DAMN smelly) or 100g of parsley, I'd have to tell you that that's a tough choice I have to make.

(Unless, of course, my shit contains parsley, but that's a different thing altogether)

THAT'S how much I hate it, so STOP TRIVIALISING MY HATRED FOR PARSLEY AND ASK ME TO JUST TOLERATE IT ON MY MEE SOTO, I WON'T!

HATE people who impose their views on other people.

My mom keeps telling me to look at the old people around who are lasering off their tatts in regret.

Weird, because if I don't do it when I am young and thus decided not to do it for the rest of my life, won't I regret too? Simply because I missed my chance to do something I really wanted?

Either way, it seems, I lose; but at least if I do it it will be my choice I regret, instead of bearing a grudge against someone else's choice.

I hate this bitch, she has a tattoo.

When I stop being so grumpy I'd blog some more, with pictures.

Today is me and Mike's 11th month anniversary, and as it turns out, also Valentine's Day!

We planned to watch Heroes the whole day, but we finished 10 of the 11 episodes we had yesterday. -_-

Great show!

I think I'd go cook a sumptuous Singaporean dinner for him. And by sumptuous, I really mean average. Coz I can't cook very well, I think.

But how difficult is it to follow a recipe, right?

Eh, right?

Oh btw, we also filmed a bit more of Girls Out Loud on our road trip!

Nope, I don't think we are gonna have a season two (you can write in to local5@mediacorptv.com if you want to pester Mediacorp to do season 2), but these clips we filmed might be going on Youtube. :)

I'll keep you guys posted!

p/s: It rules to be attached on V day for once! Past 4 years sucked.

Busy making babies

Ha! Just kidding!

Anyway, I don't know why, but I've got nothing interesting to blog about lately!

I've just been lazing around with Mike watching Dvds - Lost season 3, Prison Break I and II, and My Name is Earl (which is fucking hilarious I tell you) and basically pigging out.

Teban Garden's ****** food place sucks! They tried to sell the poor angmoh 2 small pieces of tandoori chicken for $10!!!

Bloody hell! Singaporean hawker vendors really shouldn't cheat foreigners this way! Someone told me that in Newton, some bloody Chinese hawkers sold some angmohs a bowl of shark's fin soup for $300...!

$300, can you imagine? Those angmohs also stupid lar, should ask the price before ordering something that sounds like it could be very expensive lor.

Crazyass bastards are so scheming!! Hawker people are horrible.

I told Mike to repeat after me for future such scenarios:

"I will not pay XX dollars for your laksa/dvd player/bananas. I will now take a photo of your store and you, and report this atrocity to CASE. I will also write a letter to Straits Times forum. Good day."

That is, of course, in the case of him not being surrounded by, for example, a multitude of Sim Lim ah bengs.

So yeah, Mike paid $6 for the chicken in the end, and they went all threatening, saying that he is accusing them of overcharging him. GRRRRRRRRR! Poor Mike!

Anyway, here are some overdue photos of pictures our producer Joan Leong took during filming.

I'm really sad that Girls Out Loud is over! The whole experience was really fun, I enjoyed the company of Rozz and all our crew very much, and I felt like I was doing something productive for once.

Now I'm back to doing nothing mostly. Which also rules, don't get me wrong. It's fabulous to be a bummer. I need to find more bummer friends - people who play MJ, poker, and are game for suppers :D

So yeah, back to GoL. One of Rozz and my favourite past-time is to tease our poor sound-guy by speaking... erm... rude words into our microphones in a whisper. I really miss traumatizing him!

Photos:

OOOOOOH! Did I tell you guys I dyed my hair blue-black? I guess to most people it's not a big deal, but I've never had black hair since 1999 when I got out of secondary school!!!!!!!!

That's 8 years, holy moly!

For the past 3 years maybe, I've been hovering between blonde, light brown, and ashy green, and taking the plunge to go black is a big one ok, coz you can't go back to blonde again after that. Well your hair will all frizz out anyway.

Everyone tells me the black hair is nicer but I feel bloody common. Hate it!!!

Imma go blonde again in maybe 3 months. Can't take it.

Farewell, my lovely blonde hair.... Farewell:

Youth ep





Rozz and I at Wild wild wet...


My exotic dancing "instructor"! She is super nice and patient k! Can't say the same for her friend over there tho.

I photoshopped my armpit to look terribly clean and alluring.


With Darni, the super amazing beatboxer!


Glam kids.

They do appear really snotty but I like the bitchiness, being nice is super overrated. Mean is the new black, man.


Ever the cool Rozzie


Yea, check out my... rainbow.


Work ep



Rozz doing her signature "alamak" pose as she fails to carass the lips like she wants to shag it real bad.


Wooo, I could totally see her nipples.


Cleaning sheep's shit in the zoo. Grrrrr Blardy smelly!


You can't see it, but it is blazing inside that jumpsuit.


I was standing on a kerb so that I look like Rozz's height muahaha



How can people wear wool? The sheep's wool is really reallllly filthy, has like flies and shit trapped in it.


Our career counsellor. That about sums up our opinion of her.


The scary Subaru people.

Supernatural ep


I think we were talking about ghosts






Eh, cleansing house spirits




Babyboss!

This guy is my favourite nutcase in the show! When I first met him he smells really funny (like medicated oil), and he took out this sheet of yellow paper from his bag and put it on the floor.

It's like a huge talisman with lots of graphics, and he said he got it from Thailand or something, and the paper is for using some supernatural way to improve sex!

On it were many amatuerly drawn graphics of people fornicating, and one particular one had a girl getting screwed by a horse! I am sooooo traumatized!

Well, you have to go see the clips to see how crazy Babyboss is.


Rozz, with a witch, a bomoh, a sorceror, and a skeptic.




Us in front of Old Changi Hospital. Nope, I didn't really see any ghosts there...

Dating ep





EWWWWWW.... Steven Lim and his sockless habits! He is damn gross la, but you have to give it to him: He IS funny.

At one point, he begged our director Gillian to allow him to crawl on the floor and he did, only to stop at my feet and making grotesque baby noises, except the baby is a baby alien from hell.

When I asked him, horrified, what he was doing, he explained that he *was* a kitten (all with a straight face mind you) and asked me if I think he is cute.

Good gracious me, I almost died on the spot.


Me giving Rozz a laser stare.

While I was being tormented on my "date", she was sitting at the corner sipping clam chowder and laughing her head off at my misfortune.


Getting coached on dating etiquette.


Goodbye you flat flat nose you. Goodbye.


Rozz's date Chelestier! Ha!

He has a timely zit on his forehead; maybe he meant it for comic relief.


Rozz with her panel of male friends to spill male secrets


Us again


Tyron, my poly-era crush!


Ha! Mike, I only love you baby! Don't get jealous

Exotic dancing...

Even with the ears I am not taller than Rozz... -_-





Internet ep






With Dr Adrian Cheok, who is quite the pro at virtual reality


Rozz killing me at counterstrike


Damn kua zhang these gamers, got costume somemore...





I don't know why you people have a problem with my gums. Look, they are healthy and pink and ulcurless! Also, I like photos with my gums showing, it means I am happy and I am not merely taking a photo to act chio, ok.


Ewww Mia.


And lastly, Miss Izzy!

She dragged her angmoh bf with her on shoot... Kinda skinny, looks old, but seems to care a lot about her.

That's about it for now!

I'd go bug Joan for the Nose Job pictures, coz I know you guys all want to see how beautiful the inside of my nose looks like, haha...

Season finale Ep 8: Clip 1 Clip 2 Clip 3

p/s: Did an interview with 100.3FM and I wasn't rude enough for them! Hahaha! Guess I have to zest it up and starting scolding everyone who is fat, ugly, or just, well, normal... from now on. =)

p/p/s: All the episodes are on youtube! :)

Sian! It's Monday again and too soon it will be the last episode of Girls Out Loud!!!

Really looking forward to it though, coz the last ep will be the most fabulous of all, inclusive of the all gory nose job. I hope the censors let it in!

10pm, Channel 5 - Monday!

I saw a bangala worker nursing a smashed head wound today at Teban Gdns!! He was dripping blood on the ground and his friend was helping him. It looks like someone hit him on the head with some beer bottle!

Poor guy.

Speaking of beer bottle smashing, I've always wanted to try smashing one at the edge of the table but I am afraid I will cut myself/glass fly into eyeball, etc, so I never really got to doing it.

I heard tho, that if you smash the bottle against the table like they do in the movies, the bottle will break very close to the part where you hold it, i.e. more than 2/3 of the bottle will be gone, leaving you with a ridiculous-looking stump of a bottle.

Sounds really stupid! I am imagining some stupid ah beng breaking the bottle and then looking totally flustered and embarrassed in front of his enemy, and cue *kua kua kua* music. Ha!!

Anyway, regarding the video, I didn't think it is racist! It's the guy's angry reaction that's funny, and the way he speaks. The way he speaks is funny not because of his Indian accent, but because he speaks funny. *shrugs*

As for the muslim thing, well, it's just like going into a vegetarian restaurant asking for meat, isn't it? Just very ridiculous-sounding, but nothing malicious. :)

Ha! You guys have like no sense of humour.

Not funny? That sound clip should win an oscar!

Till laters, and remember to watch Girls Out Loud!!

p/s: After tomorrow's ep I will be able to post up my after nose job pics. :D

Damn

Mike's in the shower and I thought I'd quickly blog something before you guys hold a grudge against me.

I was out with my cousin Cally to try on her wedding gown the other day, and my relatives were all commenting that the nose looked a bit crooked.

I think this is coz I bumped into Mike's nose the other day when we were *blush* kissing, and now the implant has shifted into a weirdass position!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!


Horrors of horrors.


Before I had another appointment with Dr Huang, I was trying to make it look straight on the mirror, and I realised, to do that, I have to smile a strange loop-sided smile!! Ah, that explains some things.

So yeah lor, people who are thinking of doing nose jobs - don't think that the adventure ends after the surgery! Got to keep being cautious and everything.

I attempted to dig my nose the other day (first time in 2 months!) and the nostril seemed so small and delicate, even the last finger can't fit in! Didn't know the bloody nose holes used to be so big!

I went to see Dr Huang, and the first thing he said when he saw me was, "It's crooked now."

I was like, -_-|| Dammit!

So yeah lor, he tried to push the implant back into position, and it was quite painful. :( Good news is that he said it still can be rectified and instructed me to keep on massaging it everyday. :(

And I kept massaging it, then it obtained a FUCKING LOAD of blackheads, and Cellnique can't even work coz as long as the blackheads come out I go ahead and massage some more into the pores.

Even better, two pimples grew on each side of the nose, and they CAN'T BE SQUEEZED due to their awkward positioning and fragile nature of my breathe hole.

So in conclusion, my nose is crooked, full of blackheads, and has two zits on it.

All that because of a little bit of enthusiastic kissing. GOD DAMN!

*******************************

It appears to me that there seems to be an ebb of bloggers attempting to make blogging their living too.

I am pretty annoyed, coz before me, in Singapore at least, there was no one else.

No other full-time blogger.

I had to come out with the prices, the strategies, the methods, all by myself, and people are simply lifting them off me now, because I have proven to make things work.

That's ok, shit happens.

What I'm not ok with is when bloggers do not follow a code of ethics.

I remember the era where there was only mrbrown, Miyagi, and myself... Those were good times, and the boys were honest bloggers. We discussed stuff like blog ethics and how to earn money and at the same time remain real and truthful to our readers.

If you want to advertise, make it clear it is an advertisement, else nobody is ever going to trust the things you say the next time you introduce products or services.

Or worse, if blog readers find out about dishonesty? That I don't even want to imagine.

Once, it was student recruitment time, and a polytechnic approached me to do advertising on my blog.

We discussed about advertorials, and the fee came up to $5,000 worth of money, but the big guys were were not comfortable with the tiny "Advertorial" word on the top of my paid blog entries.

Guy asked me if I could not put THAT word up - they are willing to pay much more without it. Board might get some controversy if they were seen advertising with someone who wrote about handicapped toilets, they said.

I won't say I wasn't tempted - $5,000 is a bloody lot of money.

And it will be easy, all I have to say is that I visited the polytechnic and took some photos...

But I made this promise and I intended to keep it.

I was complaining about this to my RV friends that day, and to my surprise, none of them were even slightly agreeing with my views!

Ghimz said that if he were a blogger, he would charge two prices for advertorials, and the "subtle" one would be more expensive.

The rest seemed to not know that bloggers were not supposed to mask ads as blog entries anyway!!

I am shell-shocked!

You are telling me, all these years, after losing so much money by keeping to my ethics, that nobody even appreciates it?

And XXX blogger, when linking an advertiser who also approached me, has his/her link to work perfectly simply because he/she acted like she linked the advertiser out of the goodness of his/her heart?

GRRRRRRRRRRR!

I am one pissed off blogger!

Tell me what you guys think. Should bloggers be honest? Should paid links be stated as paid? Or won't it matter to you?

I am sooooo pissed off.


**********************************

On a totally similar note, advertisers should be happy to know that it has been six months since the pixel advertising first took place, and the inital ads are all expiring.

As such, I am having a HUGE HUGE SALE RIGHT NOW!!

Each square there is only $30, and yes, $30 gets you a link on Xiaxue's blog! 2 squares? $60. And so on and so forth.

Nab this cheap chance and get your prime spots before someone else does, so click here. :D

(P/s: Left Mike alone to go listen to his mp3 player while I blogged! Poor boy looks quite bored, you guys should be touched. :D)
