24th July 8pm ~ loves ~ Jay Chou The Era 2010 World Tour

let pictures do the talking!

i crave....

ah chew dessert! when am i going back to eat it again? think tis was taken 3-4 weeks ago.. how bout this weekend? hmmmm...

not so easy... weekends always fly dont know got time to drop by anot...

still got Jay's concert!! =D

totally random part 2!

heh heh.. I find jotting short thoughts and senseless stuffs so breezy... so here comes part 2!! muahahhaa (continued from last post yesterday)

(1) TGIF! hahahha 2pm! my TGIF feel finally came... this morning, still stressed and exhausted... say no TGIF mood.. now it came! *smiles sheepishly*

(2) in case u got me wrong, I got support Elvin's 9pm show hor... just find the Felicia's part, DYT's part all damn boring..

(3) I have to go buy my shampoo in Orchard Ion every time coz only Sephora has it.. just bought one bottle yesterday =/

(4) my eyelashes are so long now that I can't wear sunglasses... hahhaa... of coz its the fake eyelashes lah!

(5) My colleague suddenly reminded me of my urge to travel after telling me her honeymoon plans... I also want a holiday plan! don't have one leh... (take note is holiday plan not holiday.. just plan first even if its far far later on also shiok)

(6) I don't camwhore often... in fact, no camwhore at all *smiles sheepishly again*... this is one rare occasion: (ah ya yes, for you only! =D.. not photo-shopped, no edits, no perfect makeup, no fancy attire & accessories, no professional camera...hmm just rubbish me)

(7) I think true friends should really care & feel happy for other people, as in for their goodfriends... some self-centred pple forgot about this sometimes... when u share good news or happy things with them.. they either (i) put you down, (ii) start comparing it with themselves or (iii) become madly envious and start copying what u did or start gossiping bout it. But True Friends won't behave that way. They will really be happy for you :) from the bottom of the heart,.... I would be.

(8) sometimes when I get very worn out, fatigued and dizzy, I'm afraid i would die of some freak accident like one in the movie, Final Destination.. ya, it would be more freaky if I'm really that careless and it happened and u guys read this.. hahhaa (choi... good luck to me)

(9) when will IPhone 4 be in Singapore? Should I get it on the first day launched here or later?? IPad should get???

totally random

since I'm totally lazy to proper-blog and there's also nothing much to blog in depth about... I decided to jot down TOTALLY RANDOM thoughts and super short notes instead...

hahhaaha... it is going to make no sense k? ZERO sense... so don't ask..

(1) Post WorldCup blues!! nothing to look forward to...

=( oh! except Jay's Concert! hehheh... eh eh... got Jay's signatory session leh... should i go??? so old liao lazy queue leh... but Jay leh... hmmm hmmm *ponders*

(2) dont know where all the currypuffs auntie and abang went... how come no longer there when I need them?? *craves*

(3) sometimes I really want a baby! but i don't wanna bear one... looks tough! but i want my own, not adopt one!~! *helpless*

(4) this normal Nescafe 3-in-one is damn sweet... why? next time pls buy the low sugar (low fat) one?

(5) I don't like the 9pm swimming show... the Felicia Chin one... very boring!! Even Ann kok, Eelyn kok and Cynthia koh that show is more appealing... I reckon the only reason I catch glimpses of it now and then is because of Elvin or the other Malaysian girl.. Meiling is her name, is it??

(6) I think I'm becoming a vain pot all because of my baby... I mean he really cares for looks.. the superficial stuffs.. ya and got lots of criticisms (not to me lah)... making me so conscientious too.. All his fault k? I'm not this vain last time.. =(

(7) spree spree spree!..... should I join?? tempted to spend AGAIN...

(8) Polariods! loves!

Congratulations Spain! Glory Glory! Glory!

With Spain triumphing for the first time yesterday 12th July as the World Cup Champions 2010, WC has come to an end...

Mad Happy and Congratulations to them!
From the nervy start of a lost to the Swiss to much improvements like the edging over Giants Germany and the boring but rough Dutch... They are a deserving side! We love to see their passes and their controlling the most... Although the team has scored the least compared to past Champions, I still find this Spain team exciting and the best...

Casillas, Alonso, Xavi, Villa, Torres, Iniesta, Ramos, Puyol, Pique, Fabregas... U guys are all my favorites! Love Spaniards!!!


Cesc Fabregas:
"I had a text message of congratulations from Arsene Wenger. He said I deserve it. I just think this is for everyone at Arsenal who helped me get to where I am now. I am an Arsenal player and proud to be."

aiyoh so touching... then please stay at Gunners k? don't fickle anymore..




Been chasing EVERY BRAZIL AND SPAIN MATCH... now no more... depressing..
okie la... at least Spain won... so I got no regrets... =D
I got no doubts about them winning the Dutch... If u watched them play against Germany, their composed passing and tackles is much better then the Netherlands. Maybe that's why the Dutch end up keep kicking the player's legs instead.. so rough and irritating! Orbi for your 8 yellow cards and 1 red card!

No more FIFA World Cup... got to wait 4 yrs! Post WC blues!!! No more football kaki, World cup calendar, 230am matches... Sighz!!!!

QUARTERFINALS!

Brazil v Netherlands
Uraguay v Ghana
Argentina v Germany
Paraguay v Spain

who is ur favourite??

My prediction:
Brazil
Ghana
Argentina
Spain

My preference:
Brazil
Uraguay
Germany
Spain

Good luck to Brasil and Espana!!!

World Cup fever continues...

Been so busy with the world cup... no time to blog wor... why? supporting Brasil and Espana loh!

Such a cute brazilian player below how can I not support? =P

hahhaha jokes aside.. thats Ashton Kutcher.. not the real Kaka... real kaka also as cute k? Idol drools!

my other love from Spain, besides Torres and Fabregas:

the very skillful and cool Villa

okie... now that Brazil has sail though Chile smoothly.. its time for the Dutch! eeekkksss! against also my fav Van Persie and Van de Vaart!!!.... hahaha.. may the better team wins! I predict it will be Brazil based on the performance last night against Chile and Netherlands against Slovakia... Netherlands was boring and kinda helpless in the match... esp the beginning... not threatening at all... but Slovakia was even worse... so fair result for Netherlands to march on... but facing the Brazil team which becomes stronger and stronger after each match.. unless Brazil gets too complacent or Netherlands pull some tactics.. I predict Brazil can edge them..

3-2!!! nonono... no that i predict a 3-2 scoreline...it was a result of a past match that left an impression in me deeply... I remembered it was a World Cup Match duno from 1994 or 1998 (semis or quarter finals)... where I watched Brazil vs Netherlands with almost a heart attack... super exciting and close match... great match both attacking teams which I think Brazil won by 3-2.. barely... I was supporting Brazil as 1st fav and Holland as 2nd fav then... and then they met and produced that best fixture... I hope this time round... the same sort of exciting competition would happened =) (and maybe secretly hopefully Brazil can triumph) muahahaha

Stress Management

Stress Management


A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."

"Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested. Life is short Enjoy it!"





And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

1. Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue.

2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4. Drive carefully. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

5. If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8. Never buy a car you can’t push.

9. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.

10. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

11. Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12. The second mouse gets the cheese.

13. When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.

14. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

15. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

16. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

17. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colours, but they all have to live in the same box.

18. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

yippeeee... last nite... Brazil vs Ivory Coast.. Brazil improved and did well.. 3-1! hahaha i didt judge them entirely by the scoreline but the overall performance.. Brazil's passes were good... defense look solid.. chances created was more.. more dangerous shots on goal...more enjoyable to watch... really did much better than in the 1st match against North Korea, so they totally deserve this win :)))))

it's a 2.30am match again.... so having to work on the bright (blue) monday.. i didnt completed watching the whole game so I didn't see Kaka being sent off... hahaha when they are alrdy 3-0 up, I was happy enough and K.Oed (sleep)...

Hope the same improvement spell works for Spain squad as well.... start using Cesc Fabregas perhaps! =))))

im back!!!

my exam was on last Tuesday... was busybusybusy but now I'm back & better!!!
okie la.. better as in mood better!

World Cup for me only started on 15th Jun due to the exam paper... so meaning yes... I did miss a few matches at the beginning... but no prob! ever since then, Ive been watching and breathing World Cup =)))))

I think a part of everyone would always love to see some upsets & wanna support the underdogs... which explains why I'm still feeling the difference and missing Sweden very much... why they couldn't qualify?? why? pls tell me why??? Now im left with no underdogs to support!!... sighz!... so back to those highly-favoured teams to support... but it actually irks me if my fav teams are everyone else's favourite too (oh dear I do always like to be different) or pple deemed me as supporting strong sides only... well im not supporting them on the basis they are stronger teams hor! I've been sticking to those teams which I supported way back since the last few world cups on various reason then and their football and style really entertained me more, which appeals to me la...and their players I actually recognise and adore... my favourite 3 still no change yet.. despite their lousy performances, I believe and hope they can pull up their socks and perform better at their 2nd and 3rd Group matches! Ganbatte neh! More reviews later on after more matches... so bad to review them badly after just 1 match rite..and I believe I have grumbled enough on Facebook already... hahaha

"Killer" weekend

As promised with Ashton, I went to watch Killers during the weekend on Sat.. hahhaa... one-party promise that is..

anyway... I had a small misfortune.. totally wasted 20bucks!.. what happened was: we went to book online wanting to watch at Orchard Cineleisure.. while my baby did the booking and selection of seats and I offered to pay with my cc.. so after he made the selection, I just went blindly ahead to key in my cc details to pay... who knows to my dismay, the confirmation details reflected AFTER I entered was Movie: A Night at Elm's Street!
(hahahaa sadly, later on we realised it's becoz when he press the back button, he didn't select the movie correctly... bleah!) We wanted to reverse the situation by going down to exchange.. but the online seating plan reads that Cineleisure is almost already fully booked for Killers.. so I doubt theres any seat for exchange.. therefore we had no choice but to part with my $20 sadly while baby paid for the move somewhere else becoz I so badly wanted to watch Killers only =P... we booked at a real ulu place with seats... Causeway point!!!!
hahhahahaa never been there for ages! ULU cinema!
*back to Killers*
Ashton is sooooooooo gorgeous that my eyes was glued to the screen every min for that 102mins.. hahaha.. I liked it and surprisely, we also find Katherine Helgl hot! I mean during the ugly truth.. she was so-so but she looked amazing in this one with all the different hairstyles and bras... haha.. the plot was so-so lah but these 2 stars, the romance-comedy sparkles & the humourous but reality bicker between the couple made it worthly to watch... For ashton and katherine I would give the movie a full 5 stars.. haha.. otherwise 3 stars then..

saw this somewhere... so share with u! =)

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love , whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Sex And The City 2

you saw it coming.. did you?

hahaha I mean if u know me well... u would have known that I completed all the past seasons of SATC dvds, I am a fan! and therefore I had to do this review.. haha... I simply had to! after watching SATC 2...

Just caught it last nite with one of my bestie.. She prefers SATC 1 movie... but I like this second one more than the first movie.. I don't exactly remember the whole SATC 1 plot but vaguely, about a disastrous wedding between Big and Carrie.. I think this sequel is more light-hearted and funnier... more topics like motherhood, menopause, new marriage woes, career crisis.. the focus is less on the EMO side of individual girls (esp Carrie Bradshaw) which cracked me up more.. well... after a hard day's work on a Thursday evening... reunion with the ladies sauciness, confidence and joke is so much better than seeing too much of Carrie's indecisiveness and freaking out (tearing).. i mean ya... if u want those sensitive emo portion... go watch the dvds of the past seasons...a 2 hour movie cannot capture as much sensitive details then a full complete season, so I love the "sparks" of this movie by putting everything in place in a quicker pace than dragging it too long... for this movie, I really like Samantha's upfront candidness and outspoken character! shes my fav in this movie...bravo to this 52 menopause lady!

u know, throughout the past HBO seasons and 2 movies.. my favourite character move from Charlotte to Samantha then Carrie then back to Samantha..

actually all the 4 ladies are great! distinct cum attractive.. including Miranda.. thus this further justify my character and taste change now and then... that is why when each lady relate to me at different times.. my taste differs and fluctuate each time.. I grow up with the ladies! I love them! =)

Cheers to Friendship, Cheers to Fashion, Cheers to all women!

all the leading women in our own pretty lives! =D

" Dearest Logan,

It's been more than 10 years since the day the feelings for u first developed, I wouldn't even exactly call it love, since it was never mutual.. you are always special, not the most handsome, nor kindest, hmm nor nicest but pure special.. in its own little way.. which can never be explained.. the moments with you deeply buried in the heart, as sweetest memories which can bring a smile whenever I think of it.. a sweet treasure chest.. it is the past.. already put behind.. it never really bothers me who you are with presently or who is your special one.. as long as u are doing good.. and happy.. in distance or not..I don't care.. it doesn't matter... in fact... i hope u are doing more than good.. and happier than happy.. in every aspect!

but for the first time, I really really wish those silly feelings can go away.. permanent.. period! It's ..it's...it's.. it's not special anymore.. can you please ask your new love and you to get out of my dreams.. it's bloody irritating and irking!... if she is nice and all, I would have been happy for you.. like "Faith"... nice, angelic and pleasant.. butbutbut I'm seriously worried you are asking for trouble.. and this worry is so bloody unexplainable, immature, unrealistic and stupid..
Therefore, please please please please please... go away...

Thanks.. =)

Yours Sincerely,
Stacey "

World Cup Celebration

Bebeto: Brazil vs. Holland (1994)
It is a well-known fact that footballers like to procreate, so someone was always going to celebrate the birth of their child after scoring a goal. Leave it to the Brazilians to make it look good though, as striker Bebeto brought the 'cradle-rocking' celebration to the world's attention. Having netted against Holland in the quarter-finals, Bebeto ran to the touchline to be joined by teammates Romario and Mazinho before they all started to rock an imaginary baby in tribute to the striker's potency (on and off the pitch). Some have tried to mirror him since - Jermaine Jenas to name one - but no-one has come close to pulling it off with such aplomb

quote frm:
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/columns/story?id=790168&cc=3888&ver=global

There, then 1994.. the exact worldcup i first started watching and cheering for brazil =). was 12 then... and mind u.. i pick brazil way before the finals.. not after they won..

Bebeto, Romario, Taffereal, Dunga = my heros
its amazing the football they play.. no other teams can match them then.. Cafu.. Roberto Carlos...Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldihno.. somehow similar also..

now the brazil team, after 2 cycles.. i admit i dun have that much passion and attachment anymore.. i still love Kaka!!!.. and with (mighty =D) Dunga as the team coach.. let's hope the sambal magic can retain somehow and my passion will come back... goodluck team Brazil!

ohoh ppooooor sweden not qualified =(

another team to cheer for this worldcup...
Spain! with Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres... need i say more why?
hahahhaa

hahahaha and lastly...
last world cup when i turn to root for Italy after the early exit of brazil and sweden.....
hahaha.. Team Italy! sad to say... the (super cute) skilled Italian players I liked are more or less retiring or retired since last world cup... over their prime... if they can still balance up and maintain... i will still support them..

1,2,3 teams! go go go ole ole ole!

oh ya world cup channel subscribed! $70+ bucks (kachang!) gone! hope got time (& energy) to watch... hahaha

Congratulations to our Table-tennis world champ team

Feng Tian Wei

think one-two years back, I blogged bout this woman Feng Tian Wei... uprising star then... impressive performance.. great composure and skills..

Now..today... proven herself.. lead the Singapore women's team to world table tennis triumph.. Salute!

is not that i don't wanna blog in "contents".. but its because sometimes i really wonder who read my blog and i dun wan 1 person to read and know me from here.. its creepy... and ya I'm referring to one person in particular... that's why I'm avoiding to go "in depth" at times.. but heck la... now come to think of it...shouldn't let 1 person affect me on blogging.. that 1 person may gave up reading it liao so lets update here more k?

I don't really know why but from somewhere along this year.. I suddenly feel OLD... like exhausted old... like old "old"... u know what i mean? ;P
it's nothing to do with my good friends being married or having babies... i don't think others can ever affect me... I'm too 'individualist" & never the type to compare and compete but perhaps guess its the mentality changed over years over incidents.. shrugs... suddenly i remembered in my teens.. i told Wanqing / Maggie I wanna get married at/by 24.. marry young have kids young settle young... but look!.. for 4 yrs.. i don't really care that it didn't happen..
but now it came back???? Maybe? hahaha... its too late anyway...

things don't actually always happen the way we plan rite? i should be at the peak of my happy career too? but am I? dreams change too!

let's be practical... but keep moving.. towards our innate self.. and quit measuring, quit judging... get rid of that old shell.. 10 yrs down the road.. where would I be? not the way i plan now for 10 years later? may not be a bad thing after all =)

from all rants no photos to all photos no words.. hahaa im extreme!

extremely lazy! muahahhaa

okokok will blog more later....

cant wait! my fave ASHTON KUTCHER =))))))
