Kittens adoption drive!

Well, you know I love cats right? So whoever's reading this and is living in SG, please spread the word about this adoption drive for these pretty young things...

Date: 10 & 11 September

Time 11 - 7pm

Venue: Pet Safari @ NEX Mall, level 4

So here's the thing - We're so fortunate to be enjoying all the good things life can bring (ie: a cup of coffee at your favourite joint, supper with a group of close friends, enjoying a mani/pedi after a long day of work and etc, you get the damn drift!) But these little ones are not so lucky. Read more about their story here (http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2011/06/when-kindness-can-be-weakness.html & http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-2-when-kindess-can-become.html)

I wouldn't be doing this if I could keep all of them so I urge you to come down this coming weekend and take a look. Even if you're unsure, at least come see them! Be warned that they will melt your heart in 2 seconds. FLAT. #justsayin

So please come down and meet them in 'cat' (in 'person', YOU GEDDIT?!) HEHE

See you there!

Please help spread the word! They're really lovely!

Let's go tangerine

I've always wanted an Orange lipstick and I was happy to find it at Topshop. ;)

I really love this shade. It's such a cheerful color it can brighten up any dress down outfit! Or days when you don't feel like putting on too much make up. I can look a little sickly cos my lip color can be really nude-ish. It's rather velvety in texture and glides on very easily on your lips. This gorgeous hue - Infrared, is available at Topshop for $19 SGD

Go bold this Summer!

Experience VS Enthusiasm

Happy Labour Day, everyone! Hope it was a good and well-rested one for you.

Anyway, what's hot in town now? General Elections of course. Even Osama Bin Laden's death can't help feeling neglected in Singapore. (Y U NO SHOW ME LURVVVEEEE???)

I know being 23, my opinions may not be always heard but here's my 2 cents worth on GE. I'm usually not that affected by what's going on in the political world but I've to say it's shaking the earth my stepping on. Well, just a tiny bittttttttttttt.

I'm getting excessively annoyed by people who are biting the hands who helped feed them. Do you remember how Singapore was just a piece of land where NOONE knew of? Do you remember how the nation struggled separating ourselves from our neighbour, Malaysia? Who was there for us throughout every step of the way? It none other than MM Lee Kuan Yew.

In a recent interview at Tampines, MM Lee warned Singaporeans especially those under Aljunied GRC - to vote wisely. And throughout his speech, he used strong words such as 'repent' and 'pay the price'. This has caused some uproar among netizens sprouting that MM Lee's choice of vocabulary lack of tact and made it sound like a threat to the citizens.

I'm like... really? I do agree that it was a strong choice of vocab but the Elections IS a huge deal. Our lives for the next 5 years highly depends on who we vote for. There was 1 point MM Lee brought up which I strongly agree with - What are you voting for? Are you voting for experience OR enthusiasm? Do you want a group of people with experience to help run the country or a group of people with so much passion and enthusiasm but has actually NEVER run a country before? So, what's your choice?

This is not a company where you can liquify and end it but what can you do to a nation when it's not doing well? YOU CANNOT COMPARE APPLE AND ORANGE, PLEASE. Do not risk the nation just because you're touched by their passion and the things they say they would do. Please do not do it at other people's expense. It's not fair. It's not fair to ruin other people's lives like that.

Please take a second to ask yourself - Have you been living poorly? Do you not have a roof above your head? Are you doing THAT badly where you need to overthrow who's leading?

Think about it people, think.

What's new

Hmmm. I like the fact that this week is such a short work week. (triple yay!)

Perks of the job: Be part of Marc by Marc Jacobs fashion show last Tuesday. It was sooo good. I like that their spring 2011 collection has so many wearable pieces. Ultimate lust. They're a burst of colors and a good balance of neural hues like grey.

Do you want to know how they recreate all that frizz?

Tadah! (Snapped by my trusty BB bold)

Anyway, so what's new? I'm officially a year older. (haaaaappppyyyyy birthdaaaaaay to meeeeeee) Bummer. But this year despite having most of the usual suspects not in town - I still managed to feel loved. Ally and Sammie came by with cake while I had my clay mask on (IMAGINE THE HORROR?!). I was literally unable to laugh or smile. It was funny though. This birthday I really don't want much - I just want to be happier than before.

Talk when I've something exciting to update.

You have all my love xxxxx

Even my credit card approves

You know, I'm such an impulsive shopper?

2 months, 8 weeks, 61 days

Many have asked me time and time again, "Are you ok? How are you dealing with the break up?". A month ago, I was shrugging it off, talking about it here and there and today I finally felt like I could talk about it. You know, without hate.

The breakup wasn't immediate like a tsunami, it felt like a slow and deadly flesh-eating disease that chew me inside out over time. There were couple times I couldn't deal with it at all, I had to hide under sheets and cry but these days I don't cry so much anymore. I still think about the past some times but it doesn't hurt anymore. That's progress, IMO.

I don't know about him. A month after the breakup, I decided to unfollow him on twitter which honestly helped me A LOT. They were right, if you really want to get over someone, you need to stay away from the person even if it means virtually. Facebook updates were a hit and miss.

In short, the breakup didn't uprooted my life. I was very fortunate. It just uprooted me from all that compromising state I was in. I was really rolling in the deep. I am scarred but I believe some day someone's gonna walk me out of it. Out of all that second guessing and insecurity. He just didn't want to be the one and it's okay.

It's been 2 months equivalent of 8 weeks and equivalent of 61 days...... I'm clean of the achin'.

On Stranger Tides

I cannot live without painting my nails. When my nails are naked, I feel like I am too. And I swear by O.P.I. I like the fact that O.P.I brings a dash of fun and pop culture to nail polish by collaborating with famous celebrities and hit televisions series.

Inspired by the highly anticipated Disney movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: On stranger tides", O.P.I launches 6 mystical colors that embody the wild escapades of Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.

OPI "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" Sikver Shatter nail polish.

OPI "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" nail polish in Steady As She Rose, Sparrow Me the Drama and Planks a Lot.

OPI "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" nail polish in Skull & Glossbones, Stranger Tides and Mermaids Tears.

The colors are inspired by a world filled with mythical mermaids, gleaming treasure and high-seas adventures. With shades ranging from safe and lavender to Khaki gray and pastal pink, these colors are evocative of a warm, tropical setting, with a classic nautical influence, says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI executive VP and artistic director

Which color are you lusting for? I particularly love Mermaids Tears and Steady as she rose! Can't wait to get my hands on them when I see them in Singapore.

Happy April's Fool Day!
