Bokeh, Transformer 3 and other whining.

My newest addition to my Bokeh effects.
I hope i'm getting better - but i'm not fully satisfied with what's acheived here either.
Blah.
Loving my feathers tho - was fixing and fooling around with styles for the next photoshoot, when I took this. :)
---

On other news,
I. Need. to. wake. up. early. for wavehouse tomorrow.

All that Popcorn binge-ing from watching Transformer 3 - dark of the moon earlier
is taking its toil on my throat. (That and mommy's attempt in feeding me lots of mango that she bought over the weekend + that packet of Super Ring that I could not resist)

Transformer 3 is good, glad that Megan Fox is out of the movie, but the "supposedly" new "hottie" isn't quite my definition of Hottie tho.
Yes she has a hot body and face, but it seems like she O.Ded on the Mouth Botox or perhaps the bee stung her lips? Aside from her pouty pouty lips, i'm  actually okay with whatshername. ( too much effort to google her name, unlike my pretty mermaid in Pirates of the Carribean)

Looking forward to Hogwarts in end July.


Desperately rehydrating now, but I seem to be fighting a losing battle.

Gwen Stefani - Harajuku lovers Beats earphones.

Aaayyy Waaaaaaaant!

So cute!

*stares at the pair of Red Lady Gaga earphones currently using*

I still love you, but the Harajuku one is also love!

The way I look at it, my set of Lady Gaga Heartbeat matches my new red bling phone cover, +  Nano casing pretty well.

Let me illustrate to you what I mean.. :)

Lady Gaga with Phone...

I

Nano cover + Heartbeats + phone. Nice!

In my head, the Harajuku in the Chrome color looks awesome with everything as well. 

The cute Harajuku ones just cant stop popping up in my head.

Rwar!

Fancy this as well... but it doesnt match with everything else! 

why does it have to be in baby blue?

red bow with white/pink variant works as well what! :(

Need to digress..

Bought a new poofy pouch yesterday because it's soooooo cute.

Peeping into my bag now makes me happy.

Why?

Everything's matchy matchy and color coded.

White, Red, Silver and Bling!

Even the keys! But I refuse to run to the door to fetch the keys in for a photoshoot, so we'll just make do with the product pictures from Bowtique

Yay!

Nice right?

------

And now I have this "fancier" idea...

to wear my Harajuku doll Dress and have matchy earphones...

Cutest dolls I've met for a while.

Haha!

Couldn't resist and I wore them in Bangkok the very next day!  :p

Purple Chic

Heart my Purple Dress, especially the the Chain details on the shoulder.
Available in Black, White and Purple in the next Bowtique collection launch.
Lazy to post picture of the entire dress.
But it's really just a simple tank top dress with the awesome chain details - easy to envision right?
:)

♥

Old pictures of past outfits...

I have a terrible bad habit of taking a pictures and not remembering to post them up.

I found these picture in the camera from a million years ago, while hunting for other pictures.

Here's 2 black and white outfit that I'll like to share with different looks.

Can't even remember where I was heading out to...

But since I kinda like my simple but chic look for the night... I figured that I should share! :)

What I wore for the night:

My trusty black jacket from Far East since the start of the world.

Edgy Skater Dress from Bowtique

Pitcher Plant Necklace from Amado Gudek that the owner, Elaine gave to me early this year.

Elastic Belt from Far East

Mono art Floral Bracelet I bought from Stella's shop when Audrey and I dropped by Haji Lane last year.

It's times like these that reckons I like my accessories more than my clothes!

This picture shows my accessories better..

Yet another Mono colored outfit!

Looking it it, I did not realize it was a Black and white phase I was in.

kwakwakwa...

Stripes and Bow Top from Bowtique

Dotted Ribbon from my own wardrobe

Little Black Shorts from Bowtique

Ribbon Buckle Belt from Bangkok.

Now we play Spot the Difference!
What's the difference between the next 2 pictures?

Nothing much...
Just the change in Ribbons, and the +/- of accessories.
I settled for the clashing of dots and stripes and sauntered out of home for coffee.
Lalala..

Beer Festival, Wavehouse and a haircut.

Spent the entire Saturday feeling abit Meh
Had to force myself to wake up for my hair appointment that I booked for myself and mommy, and she had to call me twice to make sure that I was awake and making my way out.
Madam was upset that I was almost an hour late.

I reckon it was Friday's activities that gave me a lethargic Saturday and achy arms - and i'll talk abt friday in abit.

So here's the hair post trimming.

Wow! 

Hair looks exactly the same! :D

I took off about 2-3 inches off, re-layered the top and it just looked sleeker from the blowdry.

Remember my post about delaying a trip to the hairdressers..

I decided, I needed that hair trim bad, for  I. stopped. using. the. comb.

It was prehistoric cave girl life for a week, and hobo chic hair was totally my bestfriend!

Hairpins could get lost in my hair jungle, and I would only realize its existence when I'm shampooing.

Whining aside, I was so exhausted that I flopped into bed after I was done with dinner (it's not an uncommon practise for me), and woke up 2 hours later, with the girls asking if I would join them at Zirca...

I obviously chose to stay home to recharge, for a better Sunday.
Contemplated sleeping through to Sunday, if it wasn't for the fact that I need to wash my make up goobs off the face, and that I was hungry again.

What transpired on Friday?

Headed over to Wave House and "rode" the waves for 2 hours straight and grew a tan.
That's some massive cardio workout for a sloth like me.
But I'm improving!

Had a late "lunch" at 4ish in the evening at Carls Junior Vivocity.
Portobello Mushroom burger - I love you!
Headed home and ate dinner - Fell asleep (again) post dinner,
woke up and headed out for some last minute Beer Festival at the Flyer.
Free Tickets!

Wore Bowtique's Blood Orange Jumpsuit - launching in the next collection with my myriad of accessories.
Yes, I'm quite the accessory gypsy and check out my red bling bling phone cover!!
Crappy picture the BB produces. Never fails to amaze me...
Sigh.

By the time I got there, the rest were already semi wasted.
We toured around the festival and I discovered the nicest tasting beer ever!
I fell in love with the North Taiwanese Beer. The beer came in Lychee and Honey Melon flavour - love the fruitiness and sweet after taste, and I've never been a fan of beer in my life!

The cute label packaging of the bottle gave it a +10 cuteness
Hehehe.
I was a happy NTW beer guzzler, until the alcohol kicks in.

 That's when I asked for food, and we left for Macs.
I went home a happy + tired girl with my third purple coke glass!

Ending my post with the Tags I've collected for Friday. :)

Eclipse!

I've been told that Eclipses are bad for Humans.
Be it Lunar or Solar Eclipse.

I've also been told to avoid consuming water, food and alcohol during the eclipse, and to stay indoor while it happens, for the "energies" released during the eclipse is very harmful and negative to me.
Therefore eating during eclipse is as good as poisoning myself, (So i gather?) and the spread of viruses.

Which is why i'm starving as I blog.
Boo.
My second eclipse (not literally), that i'm observing the starving/ no water/ stay indoor.

I had a really bad solar eclipse experience late last year..
Had alot of yelling to do over the phone while i'm out in the mall + grumpy from the lack of the food.
The public display of temper was just beyond awesome.

So I'm not taking any chances with this lunar eclipse.
Camped at home early, kept myself off supper... *stomach growling*

Been googling abit for answers and I'm not interested in the scientific versions... just the alternate ones that no one can provide me with answers.

Well, based on my findings,the easiest perspective to digest would be from
Feng Shui master : Joey Yap's  version ... I've bold the important bits for easy speed reading.

According to him on fengshuilogy

Most forms of Astrology, place a great deal of emphasis on the Sun and the Moon. 

In Chinese Astrology, the Sun is Yang and the Moon is Yin and they are regarded as the only two stars in the constellation that can emit light.

Thus, when an eclipse of the Sun or Moon takes place, all Yang or all Yin is blocked out momentarily during that point in time. 

In Chinese Astrology, a sun eclipse is regarded as being worse than a moon eclipse - this is because Yang energy is required by all living beings and when a Sun eclipse occurs, 

Yang energy to Earth is momentarily interrupted. It also falls in-line with astrological findings that the Moon doesn’t actually emit its own light, but merely reflects the light of the Sun.

Per Chinese Astrology, it is strongly advisable to avoid going outdoors during a Sun Eclipse or to observe the phenomenon at all. Being outdoors during a Sun Eclipse is a one-way ticket to bad luck within 3 months. The ancient Chinese Astrologers specifically advised against any direct look at the eclipse.

--- fast forward ---
I guess this is where we get explainations for the "suay" ness that we get.. Lol.

Exposure to the effect of a Sun Eclipse, can be part of the reason why two people with the same BaZi charts, encounter different paths at a certain point in time. This is because Person A and Person B are influenced by different Heavenly Stars or Tian Xing at that point in time, based on their geographical location.




Since my source came from indian astrology, (after much comparison, I realized that chinese and indian folklore and religions has so much in common, only that the Indians are very much more elaborate when it comes to rites and beliefs!)

so based on the more elaborate and spiritual theory:

The air during the eclipse is impure - which is why people are highly encouraged to stay at indoors during the time to reduce the breathing / absorption of the bad energies.

At a superstitious level, eclipse is when the dark magic exploits the opportunity to harness the negative energies do their evil deeds,

as how i would analogize it - it's like exploiting the security lapse during an electricity blackout, where the "up-to-no-good" would exploit the security lapse and do what they usually can't do~ which is bad for good people like us!

The site is too lengthy to be posted here - you can read up if you're really that interested.
It's called a spiritual perspective.
It's like one of the rare sites that explains why I should starve myself, instead of munching on my big serving of Kokocruch and milk as like how I'll usually do.

I even left Zouk early!
Rwar!
Apparently the site recommends a couple of DONTS

• Avoid Eating: The increase in the subtle basic Raja-Tama in the atmosphere during the period of an eclipse affects food as well as the digestive processes. Hence it is advisable to avoid meals during the period of the eclipse. The time period when we should avoid meals depends on the type of eclipse. This is because the amount of sunlight or moonlight reaching Earth depends on the percentage area of the Sun or Moon covered during the eclipse.
  
  

I glazed over the definition of Raja-Tama, so if you really want to know, ask google.

Feeling giddy from the
lack of sustenance from my beloved Kokocrunch - where the milk swirling in it will have a GREAT CHOCOLATEY Taste AND the negative energies of the eclipse.

Need to sleep.

KthxBye!

safari princess

Heading out to Zouk in awhile. 

Can't decide between keeping the White Safari piece or the Pink one from Bowtique's next collection..

I love the print, the one sided tassels and the asymmetric cutting of the dress !

Posting pictures just to see response before I decide on the color.

My Wardrobe's gonna burst, so i'm only allowing myself just 1 color for each design.

Such tough choice because I know I look damn good in white, and so far everyone's swayed towards the white for me.

But Argh, I need to break that white habit. 

Pink it shall be. ;)

decision making is a dreadful process.

Gotta go!

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

I haven't been conscientious with my updating as like how I've promised myself that I would.
Oops.
Perhaps tonight, I shall remember to take pictures of myself wearing stuff from the new collection. :)

perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... :)

post holiday syndrome..

Was a sad / excited girl when I put myself back on the plane.

Holiday's over.

Excited because i'm totally looking forward to the coming collection for Bowtique!

I practically wanna wear everything like NOW..if it wasn't for the fact that I'll itch and scratch around like a monkey from wearing new unwashed clothes.
Though i'm not quite sure if the itch is psychological or for real,
(considering the fact that I practically grew up in a clothes factory - I kinda know how dirty clothes can be, being bundled and thrown around on the floor etc and then think geographical hygiene in manufacturing countries like china..thailand... vietnam..
eek!

Okay digression aside, so I touched down back to Singapore, and the first meal I had was 

Macdonalds (seriously wtf, i know)

But i need to get the lime green glass! 

If you haven't already caught on ( no idea which world you're residing in..), the current Mac craze would be that coca cola glass shaped like a coke can in 6 various colors~ ♥)

So far.....

1x dark green

2x pink (coz it's a pretty color)

1x lime green.

I totally intend to get 2x purple and grey!

I seriously need to stop eating Mac just for their collectibles.

Argh. *guilty face*

Was chomping Macs in Bkk, just to get the Po (kung fu panda) cup lids.

Luckily they had the yummy Samurai Pork Burger that Singapore doesn't carry, which in turn makes me feel less loser. 

Hahahhaa.

I never knew buying trips could be this tiring.

I dozed off in the cab ride home, the cab uncle had to wake me up for directions to direct location...

Attempted to unpack - but ended up lost in dreamland when I took a break from unpacking.

Mom had to yanked me out of bed to eat dinner.

Was so tired that I could not stomach much of my rice from dinner.

And now, awake and hungry again... I munch as I type.

Thank gawd I had the foresight to get Crystal Jade egg tarts when I marched out to get Bubble Tea.

*mom rolled her eyes and nagged when i told her about my bubble tea shop discovery at Bangkok. 

She's like totally exasperated with my addiction to bubble tea - coz she's convinced that bubble tea is bad for the health.

It's my only vice!

I dont smoke, drink or do drugs. Only Bubble Tea! :D~

June Rambles

Hellloooo!

Attempted to snap pictures of myself/hair color, and I guess I was feeling/looking decent enough to photograph myself.

Hair in normal lighting...
I am getting quite bored of my hair, and just delaying a trip to the hairdressers..
Invested in a few new look!
Like the braided "hair"band I bought.
It made my boring hair look alittle more fancy, and i have to admit that it looks pretty convincing eh? + the "hair"band's color is quite a close match to my real hair color.
Woots for that and the blurred background achieved from photoshopping! :)

Chiffon Pink hair color in Daylight.

Reckon this would be my how the hair would look like in daylight, without flash.

I decided that I wanted a MEGA sized donut hair, that my own hair alone cannot achieve (yes, despite my ridiculous hair length at the moment)

Went to research on Donut hairs, and some girls suggested that we stuff a sock to create a poof! on the hair.

I thought about it, and still preferred my socks to be with my feet, rather than my hair/head..

so I did what a girl would do! 

That is to head down to Far East Plaza, to get hair inserts la.... 

No matter how I try to angle my camera, it is impossible to be able to look AT the camera, smile and be able to capture my poofy donut bun.

So faceless shot would suffice.

*scowl*

Was inspired by an old design that I found in my sketch book..
Went fabric shopping, and sewed a new dress from scratch! :)

Kinda fancy my dress quite abit that I even wore the dress out for Ben's wedding lunch yesterday.
Close up pictures of this dress would have to wait until I get back from Bangkok.

Not so much about the silhouette that I'll rave about, but rather the dress details...
Like the asymmetric top...
the crystal beading surrounding the "lobang", that took me 3 hours to achieve +  random dream about "flying" off to different caves to gather various colored crystals when I went to bed....it's quite wtf.. like some computer game quest
tsk!

oh!! and the back gather detail of my dress that I ♥♥ ALOT~
Not forgetting the choice of color - purple and red. :)

Can't wait to head off to Bangkok in a matter of hours!
I reckon that frequent traveling would do me good.
I dread being confined in Singapore.

Went out on a date with my Honey a few nights ago.
Nothing much, just a lazy night out.
Hops's outfit wasn't ready, so it was just Honey going on an outing.

We shared a seat and I buckled him - just so he'll have a safe journey.
With my messy hair and all.
Awww

Picture in the lift.

Sucky picture from the Blackberry that no amount of Photoshopping would do any justice, so i'll leave it to be.. all my old non-smart phones could do better.

Baffling, isn't it?

At least now everyone knows why the bitbits needs modern clothes - to go out in!

Cant be seen in the same outfit twice can they?

Hahahha.

I reckon I should catch some sleep before the flight.
Adios!
