Vain pot shots

Headed over to the Singapore Expo for the Guinness Arthur's day concert earlier.

It's one of the rare days where I am all decked out in black (Head to toe literally!)

Black headband, black shoulder side slit sleeved toga dress, black trusty bow heels.

I feel like a gangster, walking about in the east!

It was rather fun day, except for the cock ups that happened.

I am uber thankful that the problems were rectified.

How in the world did I miss out such important information, was truly beyond me.

Stupid blunders. 

*stabs self*

Here I am, vainpot shots in the cab, before I discovered my grave error for the day... 

Still can smile until so happy somemore. 

Tsk!

Claud and I when the madness is over... 

Like!

Della / Ding dang (the female celebrity featured in the picture frame) is super pretty.

Not fair!

This would be me, in yet another rare occurrence!

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but aside from my earring studs, I rarely deck on those long dangly earrings.

Coz my ears would rot from wearing cheap metal. 

That particular day was rare! Because I so wanted a pair of Tassels earrings badly, and to date, in my best effort (unable to lay my hands on a proper pair), I made myself a pair of tassels for the occasion.

Made from the threads we use for the cross stitch/ embroidery hobby... I present to you... 

My peach colored tassels!

Here's a close up my new toy.

I seem to have a million vainpot shots of myself in the cab.

I assure you that vainpot time is highly valuable lately, and I've been rushing about quite abit. The only time I sat still, would always be when I'm travelling. Aside from that, I've been forgetting to take pictures much.

Save for the few ... like when I twist my hair randomly, and thought it looked pretty..

Rushing out for work on the last night for the F1 street race in a pretty lift!

I know I said that I wouldn't be watching the F1 street race in Singapore in my previous post right? 

Well I couldn't turn down a friend in need of some help, especially when I have the capacity to help, so there you go...

Daphne at your service, with 2 hours of notice!

The race view for the night!

Been eating really healthy food lately, except for my sugary intake.

Alot of Sushi, porridge, soup, moon cakes and liquids like bubble tea.

Mainly from being sick and suddenly finding out that I could no longer fit into my tightest/smallest pants in the house, that I suddenly remembered about, and wanted to wear them, triggered some vanity alarm.

10% fats increase is probably nothing to panic, coz I still fit into 99% of my clothes save for that 1 pants that was too tight for me all these while. 

But its the lack of discipline that upsets me. Looking flabby and all.

I've only swam (exercised) once since the start of 2012. Dafaq much?

Rwar!! 

This cannot continue!

Pilates! I choose you again!

Ok, and if the weather holds up, swim too!

Need to check if my purple exercise mat is still holding up fine from the under usage.

God, let me be toned again.

Stuffed animal recovery center

I came back home to a terrible sight!
Trixie the destructive, had a mishap play time with her dear hamster, while I was out in the day.

Hamster's stuffing was splayed all over the floor. His rattly parts was found in another corner of the room and his "skin/hide/fur" laid nearby.

Le sigh...

Doctor Daphne Lee
Head of Stuffed Animal Recovery unit of the Lee residence has kindly reconstructed Mr hamster back to 90% of his original format.

Hamster is currently out of the ICU ward and is coping fine with his new ugly stitches.
He's currently out playing with Trixie.

I hope he holds up fine, and that trixie will be gentler with him during future play time.
That was the best I could do for hamster. He was so badly injured that aesthetics was out of the consideration.
Tsk!

I showed Claud the picture of mr hamster, and she returned me a picture of mr OS Bear in a worst off state.
Puppy triumphs the violence best.

Perhaps I should have a Say NO to stuffed animal violence Day soon?

Trixie and her Hamster

Hello there, from Trixieland!

Dressed in silver hairband looking grumpy.

Silver is totally not a complimenting color for Trixie!

I already told human about my distaste for the silver color when she bugged me for peektures.

That'll be me and my favourite toy for the moment.

Have you met hamster? He's my 2 day old friend.

He amuses me for hours, and reminds me of my old friend, Spotty the puppy!

Loading up a video of Trixie playing with her beloved new toy hamster.

Word has it that
the human gave Trixie an old doggie toy ( Been around for at least 10 years) that rattles/vibrate whenever one pulls a string trigger.

Loving the toy is one thing, and well the toy was destroyed after some crazy wear and tear from me daily.

Ima sad doggles one day.
No matter how much I flipped Spotty around, I could not  locate its string.
Next thing I knew, human took Spotty away from me forever!
:/

Human told her mommy that she hunted for a similar toy for months, and finally found it at....

wait for it...


Daiso!
Hoarder instinct sets in. Human bought 2 toys at a go!
1 hamster (as shown in the video) and a porcupine (unreleased to the kraken(me) yet)

Human is assuming that every dog knows how to play with this toy like the way Trixie does,
But according to Ricky the trainer when I met him in March - he was very impressed that I could manage the pulling and coordinate of spotty the dog all by myself, with no help from human at all!

I figured that some doggles are more talented at puzzles, and others perhaps more interested in sports and painting etc, and i'm talented at pulling the string from hamster!

Ignore my human's yabbling in the video.
Focus on me please!

I also like to sign off the video by tilting my head whenever my human says bye!
Hahaha
I'm cool like that!

Weekend hello

Had some time to spare before meeting the girls for work.
Here we go..
My latest craze in 4x face shot layout.

Waves!

I fell asleep after a very huge dinner that the mother bought for me.
And now I'm like wide awake, using the phone to blog/trying to fall back asleep again after eating up some moon cakes.

Unfortunately my super sleepy powers deactivates whenever I'm ill, so I shall spam pictures of Trix and I, taken yesterday night.
Hoping that I'll somewhat fall asleep Really soon!

We were doing our best crazy face off competition.
It's human vs Trixie!

Proper faces.

I think the both of us looked more natural in the ugly face off.

In no particular reason, i've decided not to attend F1 race this year.

Perhaps I've grown tired of the event already...and no longer feel the hype

But earlier in the evening- Standing in the outskirts of the tracks at Cityhall, and listening to the sounds of the engines...

I feel the adrenaline rush.

Ahaahahah.

Yeah no regrets.

I'm bloody sick, I really need the camp at home time, more than the adrenaline rush time.

Arghh

1x morning grump coming up.

Spent the night awake being sick.

It's annoying how difficult it is for me to fall asleep whenever I fall sick.

To be jolted awake by a Filipino telemarketer who talks down to me really slowly, as if I'm retarded is just pure annoyance.

After telling her very nicely that I'm not interested...and she calls back thrice...

Nasty Daphne comes out to play.

Rwarrrr!

Good fucking morning Daphne!

Binge shopping

Deprived from shopping for a week while in China, I went alittle nuts while I was at Bugis.

Bought Mooncakes, clothes, and accessories.

As most can probably tell, shopping deprivation as some very bad after effects on me.

Everything looks very mished up and crappy here in the picture.

But seriously, my talent lies in wearing them out, not product photography, so hold your tongues and keep your comments until you've seen them worn on me.

Hahahah!

*thick skinned*

Liking a busy September

That's me stuck at the Wuhan, China airport - during a 4 hours flight delay.

Some shit about weather and turbulence they say.

I nearly couldnt make it back to catch my scheduled flight back to Singapore.

The airport drama alone is exhausting to tell, I'll leave it as a story of its own to tell another time.

Back, it's just Busy busy busy.

Catching up with work, post China trip is no joke!

However, it's the mother's birthday, and so we bought mommy dinner and we got her a mini cake to boot!

Mom's not a fan of cakes in general, but this one's a durian one!

Super yums!

As you can tell, my mommy's 5 year old only! :D

I decorated one mini cake for pictorial purposes and here we go, working on my idea of having a fire cake!

I seriously thought it'll be funnier to have the entire cake filled with candles, but I couldnt work out enough guts to ask for 10 candles instead.
Hahahha
Would look like a fire porcupine, if I actually did!

As a result from all the travelling, lack of sleep and durian cake, my system is down at the moment.

Fever, flu and sore throat.

Rwar!

I'm a sneezing monster as we speak, and bingeing on the snow skinned moon cakes from bakerzin.

The cold moon cakes sort of make my throat feels better.

I'll try to capture pictures of my moon cakes before they make their way into my tummy.

*snorts*

For now, we'll just have to make do with this random picture of my mooncake bag with Trixie seated next to the bag as decoration. 

Ahahahha.

I fought long and hard with myself, and finally decided on the Beige gold bag with gold rabbit print!

Mom adopted the pink version for her personal use.

For as long as I'm sick, I guess i'll be a mooncake monster, until my tastebuds are activated again.

Firsts..

I'm back from motherland.
The entire week has been filled with many firsts in my lifetime.
I'll probably rattle about it when i'm better rested.

However, I shall celebrate this post for a special friend who's traipse past many of her own first with me.

For starters..there's photoshop.
Super proud of her for new found talent that she never knew about.

For mains: Happy 1! I'm 12 days late in announcing our little celebration, but it's a big milestone for the both of us.

For desserts: site is ready!

Rwar!

Greetings from motherland

Testing the blogger app in my king size bed in the hotel. What are the odds of getting the same room? Hee!

I tried the skewered stuff and my highly salivated rmb5 fried rice noodles.

I'm happy, but food is extremely greasy though.. So I'm not feeling too well at the moment.

Queasy....

I had skewered golden mushroomsx2

Skewered Chinese cabbagex1

Skewered chicken wingx1

Skewered sausagex1

Cost me rmb14

The sausage is a scam. It taste completely mashy and cheap.

Ok, Bed time!

Crimson lips

I finally caved in to my list of "wants" and got myself some red RED lips!

I've been thinking and procrastinating about the vivid red lipstick for the longest time, and for as long as I've existed - I've never been much of a lipstick girl (because it makes me talk funny, and it stains my teeth if I smile too much).

At best, I'll fiddle with lip tint. Hahaha.

Well, today's one of those "I'm getting it, even if I'm gonna use it once!" kind of day.

Whipped out my new toy and tried on the red lippy the minute I got home, and I'm happy with the shade of red that I chose! 

It pops!

:D

Seriously, choosing the right shade of red is a rather painful process.

The right shade can either make or break the entire make up routine. 

It either achieves the glowing fair complexion, or makes your face looks sallow and dumpy - which is probably NOT what we want here.

the idea is to look sexy, not scary zombie right?

Anyway, it's probably common sense (to me), but the process of color selection is long and tedious, because I spend much time strolling round the mall twice or thrice.

In case you think i'm nuts...

I'm strolling because colors (anything! fabric, hair, cosmetic) react and is viewed differently under various lights circumstances.

(daylights, sunlight, soft white, orange lights, tungsten etc). I'm just doing so, to cover my base.

Just think of color as an optical illusion of sorts. 

I will be sooooo annoyed if I look fucking good in orange light, and end up resembling trash or tranny in daylights or whatever light.

In the perfect scenario, I would aim to look gorgeous in all types of lighting.

Lol.

Here we go, 1xvivid red lippy added into the make up collection!
