I remain on the side of the fence that says people who go for plastic surgery have everything to hide.

And I say this from an objective PSYCHOLOGICAL point of view.
LOL!

But then again, this is only MY opinion. And an opinion is only as good as the person who holds it see.

Anyway, I’ve seen it on Tyra Banks show too. Haha. This woman was completely obsessed with plastic surgery and it was because she was completely rotten [sic] on the inside. She had been raped, not once, not twice, but countless times when she was younger. She felt like she had nothing good inside of her; nothing left to be proud of. She was BROKEN. Thus in futile attempts to “distract” what was considered unsightly, the packaging on the outside had to re-packaged over and over. And over. And over.

If people were busying themselves with how she looked on the surface, they wouldnt bother prying into the sordid details of her not-so-fantastic history. Pretty packaging suckers everyone. Except people who bother looking past the sheen of the polished. So maybe you might want to think about picking up a shovel the next time you meet someone new. Or walking into their wardrobe and rummaging about. HAHAHAHA! I am such a nosy parker.

Honestly, who really cares?

Because we’re always BUSY. Cognitively busy.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? With the whole saga now, I AM SO SCARED. WHAT IF PEOPLE FIND OUT HOW MUCH UGLIER I WAS LAST TIME (now just normal ugly). WHAT IF THEY INSINUATE ME GOING UNDER THE KNIFE. Maybe I WILL CLOSE MY BLOG DOWN!

I ISH SCAREDDDDD!

*pees in pants*

I love online shopping. Honestly, what’s there not to like about it!

You just sit in your favourite comfy chair, surf around and then click a couple of buttons and viola! You have a whole new wardrobe delivered straight to your house! Absolutely convenient! I dont have to set a single foot out of my house or even out of my room! Haha! Great for people who have jam-packed schedules like me. But blog shops are a dime a dozen these days and you can get almost anything online, but how do you know when a blog shop is reliable? It’s so hard to choose!

Tracyeinny is one that I completely trust and absolutely love! Even when Im not buying, I like to browse their website and click to see the various collection of clothings. EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTY! I remember it was back in school, during lecture *cough* when my friend and I were surfing their website. HAHAHA. I love their clothes because they have a wide range of everything! From casual tops, work tops, to maxi dresses, to bracelets, and sandals, every type of clothing a girl could need is there! Florals, lace, funky and even vintaged typed clothing is available in their range. I can get anything that I fancy!

But really, you need to take a look at their pictures to see for yourself.
Click to enlarge.

And you know what? You know the clothes are REALLY great when THEY ARE SNAPPED UP SO QUICKLY! PLUS! They have snappy and frequent uploads! YAYYY!

I like so many of their pieces! But they gave me 2 complimentary pieces! YAY! I love those girls. It was so hard to decide cause I WANTED EVERYTHING! But they were so patient with me. Eventually, I decided on something functional for work.

Blue top by Tracyeinny. Isnt the lace so pretty!
And I look like a mannequin. HAHAHA!

And the other piece I picked was this! A grey knitted kinda vest!

I absolutely adore it cause I’ve been looking for something like that for yonks! And I can practically wear it ANYWHERE with ANY style. Wo0o0ot! I’ve worn it to work so many times already cause I LOVE IT!

YAY for Tracyeinny!

PCD – When I Grow Up

[Intro x2]
Boys call you sexy (What’s up, sexy)
And you don’t care what they say
See, everytime you turn around
They scream your name

[Verse 1]
Now I’ve got a confession (HA HA HA HA)
When I was young I wanted attention (HA HA HA HA)
And I promised myself that I’d do anything (HA HA HA HA)
Anything at all for them to notice me (HA HA HA HA)

[Bridge]
But I ain’t complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You know what it’s like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
‘Cause see when I was younger I would say

[Chorus]
When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Hook x2]
But be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

[Verse 2]
They used to tell me I was silly (HA HA HA HA)
Until I popped up on the TV (LA LA LA LA)
I always wanted to be a superstar (Superstar HA HA HA HA)
And knew that singing songs would get me this far (LA LA LA LA)

[Bridge]
But I ain’t complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You know what it’s like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
‘Cause see, when I was younger I would say

[Chorus]
When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Hook x2]
But be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

[Verse 3]
I see them staring at me
Oh I’m a trendsetter
Yes this is true ’cause what I do, no one can do it better
You can talk about me
‘Cause I’m a hot topic
I see you watching me, watching me, and I know you want it

[Chorus]
When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Hook x2]
But be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

I’M GOING TO MEET THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS LIVE AT SINGFEST!!!

A nice warm shower always a big welcome relief after a hard day’s work. To sooth tired aching muscles, I like to pamper myself to bits by foaming with luscious soap suds infused with invigorating fragrances and feel the generous water droplets from the shower head pelting against my skin.

Ahhhhhh…. Bliss.

But wait, something’s missing! Where’s the soap!

This is where Dove’s new product comes in to complete the picture!

Dove has decided to take their ever-so-famous body soaps and GO FRESH! It’s all about Energizing yourself, staying Cool or just being an Aqua (Water) baby this time around. We’re spoilt for choice!

I got me a bottle of cucumber and green tea that is beautifully fragranced with, well, cucumber and green tea of course! In my virgin GO FRESH shower experience, I really liked how the fragrance infused in the Dove’s body soap made showering such a pleasant experience! Fragrances are known to have a psychological effect on a person and this one just gives you such a REFRESHING feeling! Perfect for use in the warm and humid weather in Singapore! Bye-bye stickiness! With the delicious fragrance, you also walk out of your shower experience feeling AND smelling like a million bucks. Absolutely heavenly! Me likey!

Oh! How could I forget to mention the 1/4 hydrating lotion formula in Dove’s GO FRESH! I have to confess, I am a skin nazi. Hydration is an absolute must to keep our skin smooth, supple and baby-soft from now till 20 years down the road, especially since our weather is SOOOOO humid, and particularly if you work in air-conditioned rooms. I regularly use a separate body moisturizer after my daily bath but now with Dove’s GO FRESH, skin is smooth to the touch, soft and well-moisturized both DURING and AFTER your shower! Hooray! No more double work!

Such a lovely feeling, it’s hard not to SING praises or SING IN THE SHOWER with Dove!

And that’s just what you can do!

Dove is holding a KARAOKE COMPETITION called DOVE (GO FRESH!) ShowerOK where anybody, young or old can take part. It’s really easy because everyone’s a singing star. ESPECIALLY IN THE SHOWER!

Get this! The contest will be held IN A BATHROOM!

BATHROOM?! WHAT!? WHOSE BATHROOM?! Am I supposed to video tape myself singing in the shower?!

No no! There will be a specially constructed bathroom with TV and microphone shower heads in VIVO CITY from 31 July – 8 August for the contest!

All you have to do is sign up and do what you usually do when you shower; croon like you were in your own concert! *cough Isingintheshowertoo cough* But this is your real chance to be a superstar because the winner of the contest will be treated like a megastar ON YOUR OWN PRIVATE YACHT PARTY!

*hyperventilates*

How often do you get to have a yacht ride? Much less a PARTY on a yacht!
I WANT!!!!!!

What are you waiting for? Get singing in the shower now!

Need some inspiration on what songs to sing? Try Dove GO FRESH in Energizing Grapefruit and Lemongrass and Cool Waterlily and Fresh Mint to get you singing in no time! Available in all good retail stores and leading supermarkets.

I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of the second ever TVC I appeared in, in my career as a model. Can you spot me?!
I’ll give you a hint: Im in the 1954 segment!

The recent one I just completed will be the fourth under my belt and only be shown in Vietnam! Wo0ot! But here are some sneaks from the day of shooting before I get a soft copy of it.

The balcony where I pretend to be Juliet waiting for my Romeo. Not. Hahaha. But that’s my balcony for the day!

The crew setting up. The wooden board was creaking dangerously under the weight of 2 men and a HUGE sunlight simulator!

With makeup that gave my eye a sty and some “funky” new hair accessories. Haha!

It was such a coincidence that the make-up artist who did my makeup for this shoot was the exact same one who did my make up for the Tiger Beer one! Wo0o0ot! It was good working with the same production house again!

The shoot was a fun one and everything went smoothly. The producer was awesome and bought ice-cream for everyone! Pity I didnt bring my camera to the balcony otherwise I could have snapped a couple of shots of the pretty flowers during the short breaks we had in between while the camera adjusted accordingly. Pleased with my performance, the producer said they were going to give me more air-time than they had expected! Wheeee!

Tis a treat! Managed to get a couple of pictures of my workplace last Friday because Neeta unexpectedly brought her camera and we also had an excuse to whip the camera out and take some stills; another colleague surprised Krystal and me with mini cakes in celebration of our birthday! How sweeeeet! It’s only been 3 weeks in our training phase but we’ve all bonded nicely over long walks (14 minutes out to and back from lunch), waiting for the never-coming bus along car-filled roads, bitching and laughing good naturedly behind each other’s backs during training role play. HAHAHAHA! The things we laugh till we tear about.

I dont know how best to explain the work I do. Many ask if Im a teacher, but really, I am anything but. Sometimes we think of ourselves as teachers in our line of work, however, I would like to state for the record, I AM NOT A TEACHER because the skills we teach develop are anything but academic based. Simply put, I change maladaptive behaviours. It’s a noble job they say; a courageous job. I, however, say it’s just pure fun. Although we do have our moments where we’re completely drained by lunch time, other times when our ears go temporarily deaf due to excessive shrieking (not on our part of course), or times where battles are waged every other moment (seriously! those are terrible), the times when control is regained and breakthroughs are small miraculously brings a massive wave of satisfaction that just propels you to want to stand up on the chair and cheer loudly while thumping your chest like King Kong.

But we cant. Cause we have to remain professional. Haha! But you can imagine the overwhelming pride and joy at that very moment.

*sings We Are the Champions*

There are times we work on the floor but mostly we work at a desk. And this is mine!

This is my work desk with all my materials! I am such a messy person arent I?
But it’s not just my mess! I share materials with my other colleagues too!

And this is me… At my desk.

So chor lor! HAHAHAHAHA!

It’s clinic week this week. The Big Time Professionals are coming down all the way from the Asian head office to do Psychological Assessments alongside consultations.

And I got my first case already! Im excited yet very nervous. I dont know what to expect as is the case each and every day. But I WILL be triumphant!

After my previous post raving about the PCD, I heard on the radio that they are having a Pussycat Doll competition right here in SINGAPORE! I heard it while on the way to work but I missed the DATE and PLACE of where the competition will be held. I dont even know what we have to do.

BUT I WANNA JOIN! This is for reals yo!

They’re looking for 5 dolls, but I wanna be the Top Doll!
Cause the winner gets the PCD hoodie that Nicole wore in their MTV! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

If you know of the details, let me know! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I wonder if we’ll get to meet the real Dolls in person! Pick me pick me!

The Pussycat Dolls made it fashionable to wear boots and/or their lesser counterparts aka booties while doing their thang. Especially in their Wait a Minute video where one member of the sexy sextet was perched on top of a car in super cute shoes.

The PCD in Wait a Minute. Bootie alert! Second from the right.

Booties are hard to wear. Only certain outfits go with them and it’s of utmost importance to make sure the top of the bootie ends at the perfect place that doesnt cut your legs short! Short funky dresses or short shorts go best with them cute booties! They jazz up any old outfit and inject a twist of edge to spice things up a little!

After lusting for a pair for eternity, I finally managed to get myself a super funky pair at a steal! Wo0o0o0ot!

These booties are made for sex! Haha! I am a Pussycat Doll!

P/S: The Pussycat Dolls are coming to Singapore for SingFest! Alongside One Republic, Stacie Orrico and loads of other huge names in the music industry! OMG. I WANT TO GOOOOOO SEE MY IDOLS IN PERSON!!

I didnt expect this year’s birthday to be a grand affair. As the years pass, and responsibilities accumulate on everyone’s part, having the people around me merely remember and wish me via whatever means, warms my heart.

It’s customary for the family to go for a family dinner together and celebrate over cake later.

I didnt expect PinkSmurfSher to ask me out for a birthday dinner.

I didnt expect that Belle would buy me a present.

I didnt expect that Zilei, Kexin, PinkSmurfSher and me would go out to Fashion Bar for a girly night!

I didnt expect that delish cakes would be bought.

From L to R: yummy cheesecake, chocolate raspberry (MY FAVOURITE OUT OF THE 4!), Tiramisu and some chocolate dome-shaped thingy which was really good too.

If I had to rank them, my absolute number one favourite is the chocolate raspberry slice. Followed by a really close fight between the cheesecake and chocolate dome.

She who bought the lovely cakes from Nectaire!

We shared stories over drinks and chips and though I was tired from work, it was without a doubt superb fun!

Thank you everyone else who sms-ed me or wrote on my Facebook wall. Thank you Chrispy for calling me and singing Happy Birthday from the US! Thank you for waking up although you were sick to wish me at 12 midnight.

Thank you girls for making it special for me this year! I love yall!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!

And it’s over! After 4 years of stressing over deadlines, exams and goodness-knows-what, WE HAVE GRADUATED! Donning the blue gown with GOLD sash, the ceremony was quite a quick one although we thought it would be a long and draggy one.

For the ceremony, they printed this Commencement Gazette, the book I call “THE BOOK THAT KNOWS IT ALL” and Bel calls “Kaypoh Book” because you can basically find out who’s graduating with what Degree and which Honours. Everyone who’s graduating this semester has their name printed in there! It’s like an oracle! So you cant hide or lie about WHAT you are graduating with! Bwahahaha.

The ceremony for our class began at 8pm and it was a good thing too because a lot of us had already started work! Which, however, also meant that we couldnt take half day off.

Mum and Dad attended the ceremony in the Hall because each graduate only had 2 tickets. Unless your Valedictorian that is. Then you get 4 more tickets on top of the stipulated 2.

With proud Mummy and Daddy! They bought a bouquet of sunflowers for me! SO SWEEEEETTT! My favourite flower!

And the customary photo-taking after receiving our scrolls follows suit.

With classmates Xiang Long, Gabriel, Raymond, Estee and me!

Leanne and Jeremy.

Pretty Daphne.

Super smart Alethia and me with a balloon. We love NUS. MUUUUAAAHHHH! HAHA!

With pretty Estee! YAY! We did it babe!

Boss Ming was there too!

With the two famous ETs. Estee Teo and Eddie Tong – our favourite lecturer!
We’re trying to read his mind!

And here are the goofy shots!

Doing the Sister Act.

Hollaring!

Goofing around with my baby brother! Haha! He wants to eat my scroll.

Finally, a family portrait!

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2008!
