Sales done me in...

I went to work on sun 9 Aug.... argh. Tanjong Pagar was like a death city. Not a person in sight, not a chatter around. Even the sun seems to escape from the area.

Honestly, I have never seen Pagar so quiet before. Even when I left work at 8.30pm one day, I could still hear the buzz of the area. But it was really like a ghost town on Sun.

After working for like 2 hours, I went to the Metro expo sale. Was curious at what did they sell, and I actually found something that I wasn't planning to find.

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara! With the ball like wand... I believed I showed this picture before. It was so interesting, and at sale, that I couldn't resist to buy it. Anyway, if I ever want to try the mascara, I should get it at a sale right? But I already have a Anna Sui from a lobang from my colleague, I won't be buying mascaras for the entire year at least... I am damn interested to try it out, esp after NRWZD showing it, but I shall hold till my current mascara dries up. Was lucky I did not buy Paul&Joe's and Givenchy lipgloss, though I was damn tempted to. Lucky I have enough self restraint to do so =)

Anyway, I got a pleasant surprise when I was heading to Metro Expo sale. I saw another hall having Borders' Sale! The collection of books there was not a lot, but I found Twilight books selling at 40% discount! I was already damn curious about the series, especially since I heard Da Jie gushing over it many months back... Bought the first book, because I was worried that I won't like the rest of the series but I really like the book! Finished it within 2 days...

Anyway, my mum said I have a really bad reading habit. When I get a good book, I will not remember to eat, to bath, to sleep. The first night when I had Twilight, I read till 5am before realising that it's late. The second day, I was stiff in my reading position, but still I ignored dinner and went off reading till 8.30pm... horrible. It is almost the same routine when I get my Harrt Potters. That is why I am not constantly reading. Imagine what will happen if I did! Either my eyes are going to pop out or I am going to turn into stone for not shifting my reading position.

But I got my second Twilight series today (New Moon). Though it is more expensive than I would be paying for it if I bought at the sale on sun, it is still $15++, which is a reasonable price. But I do not dare to start...

Met Linda and P today for lunch. Was telling Linda that Edward Cullen is like the vampire version of Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. He is the "tough guy on the outside, soft sweet guy inside" kind of guy. However, I loved Edward more because he was confused as to how to be a human, how to be a boyfriend and how to be a human. It is so sweet when he treated Bella like a porcelain doll, and with all his struggles, he still love Bella as much, if not more. I love it when he was handsome in his subtle ways like his chuckle, his glance. And the way he took care of his girl (eg cradling her to sleep, watching her to ensure her safety etc). He is the perfect boyfriend lah! I remembered I said the other time that I don't mind living in the male dominated world of 18th century if I get to love Mr Darcy. Now I think I won't mind if I have to turn into a vampire to get to love Edward Cullen...

Yes yes, I know Edward Cullen and Mr Darcy is like fictional characters, and it will take me like a whole million amount of luck to meet some guy who is even close to these 2 people. I know the reality, but a girl is allowed to dream right?

Btw, as I told Linda today, Mr Darcy is like the number-don't know-what "All time top fave romantic lover" in Britain... cannot remember the exact name of the poll, but he is definitely one of the top 5 for something like that poll.

Oh! Today I saw GV Vivo showing MJ's moonwalker! I am damn tempted to watch it lah, but I am not sure who will want to go with me... I am waiting for tml so that I can go and buy his 5 CD collection...

This weekend makes me realise the kind of life I used to have, and I missed it badly...

Btw, I think I am going to be dead tml. Wish me luck.

First MJ's Leaked Song

Got some stuff to blog but I need to get to bed soon cos I got to go back to work tml...

Anyway, thought this should interest some people. There's a leak of MJ's song called A Place With No Name, which actually sound really good. And it definitely sound like MJ and his style...



Anyway, it is inspired by a 1972 song called A Horse With No Name by America (really weird song title, but nowadays song titles are really weird anyway).



Ok, going to bed now. Thought this may be interesting to some people.

Oh right, I got a blog

Yup, I remembered that I do have a blog. But I was too busy at work recently. Many things that need my personal attention and I was doing fire fighting... damn sian one loh. Management of staff is really hard. Still haven't get the hang of it.

And been da-baoing a lot the past 3 weeks. Cancel on Linda so many times till she gets sian... and not to mention my kakis at the 35th floor.

Anyway, shall not talk about work here. Will update now on one of my latest obsession... MJ!

Since my last post, I have bought 4 MJ DVDs on 2 different ocassions. Here are the photos...

Ok, I bought Dangerous DVD (the one with his eyes on cover)because basically I like his Dangerous album a lot. And got the sexy In The Closet MTV inside as well... =) Bought his concert dvd (the one in white) in Bucharest (Romania) because you never see MJ unless you see him live in concert. Since I won't be seeing him live in my lifetime, I did the next best thing =) And bought his HIStory I and II (the second picture) because it is a deal! 2 dvds at the price of $37! And have a lot of music videos (not edited ones, so they are like more than 5 mins long) and exclusive live performances.

Next aiming for his Number Ones, which has more music videos though more edited ones, and a compliation of his 5 greatest albums at the price of $41 at HMV. Imagine the other time when I went to HMV. I almost bought the entire shelf of his items loh... I have to exercise a lot of self restraint... I bought so much to the point that I can't bear to buy Raymond Lam's new album... but it can wait =D

Just to add a random point, I successfully make it to my commencement, but I am lazy to post a lot of pictures, so just a few here =)

Met Jul and Wen for Harry Potter. We bought the tickets of the movie for the opening day way many days ago.... we couldn't wait that long. Haha. Good show, but I think only those who read the book understands it. There were a lot of parts that were cut off from the book, and from what I heard from my colleagues who did not read the book, they do not understand a thing. Haha.. but I like this show. Got a lot of humour and parts on their budding love relationships...


Took some pictures at the end of the movie! Jul surprised us all when she suddenly said, "I think I will get my iPhone on Monday." Haha! I want to get one too! But broke lah!

And met Sarah, TF, JJ and Derrick (with Wen and Jul) on sat. Needed my sleep badly, but I haven't been out for a long time, so I dragged myself there after having my tinner at 5pm after I woke up (tea + dinner). Luckily I did, because I enjoyed myself! Did not take a lot of pictures, because I am a little lazy. Realised that I am more lazy taking pictures as I get older =( Some pictures here!

And lastly, went to redeem my Clarins membership points... yup, I have been a Clarins ambassador for 1 year le! Even my BA who I have been frequently was surprised when I said I am going to redeem my membership. Bought a new cleanser so as to top up to get something better, and I got a full size evening essence! I have been itching to try their essence, and was debating to get morning or evening but decided on evening because I always finish my doctor's night essence very fast. Might as well try and see... though I like the smell of the morning essence a lot =)


Haha, bimbotic as I am, I am really happy about this. Totally cheers my monday up!

Anyway, using my new loose powder now and totally loving it =)

Alright, am aiming some other stuff right now. But the top thing on my list are a laptop, gym membership and iphone =)

K, a brief overview is over. Shall try to update again =)

Cheerios.
