FOOD!

This Friday has been a sinfully healthy day. Picnic in the day with Marilyn darling, desserts at night with Uncle Jason. Sadly, I forgot to use my digital camera to picture the desserts. :S Well, we'll just have to wait for the film. Speaking of which, I have yet to process the rolls. :S

Picnic at Punggol Park~Our feast! Bak Zhang, Fried Instant Noodles and my Pasta Salad. :D

Who knew the heartlands could be so tranquil.

JUMP!

(Dessert)Dinner with Jason. Parma Sandwich. Expected a little more olive oil though.
Olives? Figs? Prunes? No idea.
My friend looks like Eminem.
We walked from The Riverwalk to Fullerton, thinking Butter Factory would be open. :S

Happy.

One word that leaves me happy for the night : INTERNSHIP!

I have decided not to apply over to Buffalo for a semester but instead take up an internship position at a company. Of course I have a list of companies I'm applying to but being competitive, I rather not disclose any.

Going to the states for 3 months to live may seem fun and a great learning experience, however I think I rather start early and develop my career path while I'm still in school.

Now. Time to get started on that fashion project.

When I start working.

Being a student has a whole shit load of limitations. So when I get my degree and enter the workforce once again, there is a list of things that I want to do then. Of course, that's when I have an income. Money makes the world go round.

1. Learn the saxophone. Ok. I know how to play the 笙 which does sound like a sax, when it's on the higher pitch.
2. Shop Zara and Mango. Now I can only look and try. My income doesn't allow me for such purchases. Oh well. Even now I'm thinking twice about F21.
3. Learn driving. By then I'll be able to buy my OWN car! 1959 Mini Cooper. Red with white sun-roof. Brown leather upholstery. White steering wheel. I'm not insane to fantasize about my dream car. I have ALWAYS loved the mini. I want it to be my first and my last.
4. Get my dream camera - Lecia M8.Limited edition White! Well, camera junkies will know what I mean.
5. Last one. I can't be too greedy. I need to save for my rent. I do intend to move out, get a few roomies and try living without my parents for a few years. East side condo? Perhaps.
   

SALE!

I'm helping a girlfriend clear her wardrobe.

Please email to missy.gissy@gmail.com if interested. She does meet-ups as well.

Hair.

I'm now watching Fiona Sit's music videos on my 42" plasma TV. (I know I should be sleeping now. Whatever.) She had short hair before! This was for TVB's The Academy. The one with all the trainee police cadets and of course my favourite actor in it - Ron Ng. :D
It also dawned on me that Myolie Wu also did a pixie recently.Perhaps I really should have gone short. :S

Timbre.

Had always been wanting to hang with Elaine (Toh). And I finally got the chance to do so over Saturday night with Val. So here are some pictures from that day.

Erdinger Dark for Elaine.

Mojitos for Val and me.

And yes, another victim fallen to the different camera. Speaking of which, I seriously have no idea how many people have just fallen into the inquisitive hands of my Fisheye.

Well, that wraps up Timbre on Saturday. And I seriously can't wait for Thursday to happen!

Pe(s)t names.

Zelda has never been a fan of pet names. Really. Even cutting my name in half might not work ALL the time. And now what's with the male population and the use of the word "Sweet" and all the other relations of that word. Seriously!

I'm not food (Ok, perhaps when you eat me in bed). But on a daily basis? I'm not. I want to hear MY name once in a while. After all I DO have a really nice name. How many (non-fictional) people do you know with the name Zelda? Or how many Zeldas are there in your phone book? Not many, right? In fact, if you're lucky, 2. So, please use my name! Don't go all so lovey-dovey when things are not even there yet. Seriously, why do guys like to build this facade around this dating process when they jolly well know that it isn't there at all?

I guess this leads me to write about things that will turn Zelda on/off. Which will be written on another day. Got a presentation in the morning and I still got the effing flu. ($&@(*^#($^%$*(^&.

:D.

I know. It's only the 2nd day of school and I'm slacking off. Well, I finished my assignments and will read up on the chapters on the bus later. And I have just finished watching HK serial A Journey Called Life (金石良缘). And I love it! I think its the mini version of A Kindred Spirit. This is a known fact that Zelda likes her boys Cantonese. Ok. I am not making this one up. I shall digress a little to explain. Call me ethnocentristic, but I like to have pure blood Cantonese kids. Shut up about the Harry Potter analogy. So back to topic, I took notice in one of the actors. :P Darling, I'm single and looking and I'm seriously not that bad at all.

Drum Roll.................




























黃嘉樂, Stephen Wong.
Well, Francis Ng really looks gay here. I think it's the hair. And he (Francis) is very good looking in person. Saw him once in Hong Kong. :P

Yes. That guy in all the HK serials. That goody two shoes guy. The guy that's always kind and nice to everyone. The one that moms love to have as their son. Yes. Isn't he cute? Damn. I'm a sucker for HK guys. :S

I think Ron Ng's cute too. Ok. Not that Ron I know. Of course the Ron I know is a nice guy. But I'm talking about HK actor Ron Ng (吳卓羲)! This chap! :)

You know what I realised? I like Cantonese guys who are tall and tan. TTCG. Hmmm. I like that abreviation. Short and/or pale looking guys who are/are not Cantonese need not apply. :)

:(

Second day of school and I'm sick. ($&*@#&^($^&#^%(#*&.

What to do when you meet someone you thought had vanished.

Had my first lecture just barely a few hours ago. Well. I suppose E-commerce isn't that much of a bore. The instructor does seem yummy enough to pay attention to. Ok. I still think my marketing lecturer during my poly days is much cuter. :P Hence the A for marketing. :D

Ok. Back to the titled topic. What to do when you meet someone you thought had vanished? Well, darling Zelda bumped into someone she thought was long gone. Not dead but just gone. Seriously during my holidays I had barely stepped into the streets of town, and when I happen to someone just had to do the same. Oh well. I'm not the paranoid kind of person who actually thinks at least 4 times before confirming to head to town, and assures at least 8 times with her friends on meeting there. Zelda is random, impromptu. So exactly how do you react?

I'm not going to textbook my tips. Seriously, no one will behave in a textbook manner when something so sudden takes place.

1. In any case, you will panic. I did. It is a public place after all, so best way is to pretend to be calm. Word here is pretend. It is legit(itmate) if you're just going hysterical inside. You still want to look sane in public. In any case, you might be together with a potential date. So don't let that whatever get to you.
2. This is just me. But DO NOT initiate contact. Remember the panic inside. It could explode. Trust me. It would. Just whether it's immediate or just minutes later.
3. If there is a need, keep communication short and quick. Don't start/ignite a conversation that requires a change of location (Starbucks?).
4. If there's no contact established, try to leave your current location as soon as possible. The longer you are in the same place as the person, the higher chance of making contact, resulting in severe awkwardness.
5. Lastly, go get high! Ok. Not by drugs. Just go do something else. Keep your mind occupied with something else. Snogging your date might help too. :D.
   

My case - I left, went for a dose of endorphins. I did remind myself again why that person was suppose to vanish. And the day continued.

New!

I got a new haircut and new brows! Before with the done up brows. I reckon my brows are a little thin for my liking. :S
Bye bye (super) long hair! Hello manageable hair. :D

By the way, school's starting! Well. I am quite psy-ed about school. Am in the same class as my darling Atalia! :D Thanks babe for spending a day with me during the hols! It would have been nice if we could do that more often! New hair, new brows, new company. I am ready! :D

Hungry.

I'm hungry. Waiting for Denis to pick me from home for supper! I want mango strudel with vanilla ice cream at the side. Yums! :)

Bags.

Was reading Serene's blog and she got her Balenciaga Motor Bag. It just got my thinking. I don't have bags at all. Ok. I have my battered LV Noe from Mom and that rather dirty Anya Hindmarch I'm Not a Plastic Bag Jap(Green) edition that I bought online. Seriously that's about it with my bags. I NEED A BAG. Went looking for bags sometime ago (River Island, Charles & Keith, Topshop etc), and all of which DO NOT appeal to me. This is so depressing. Zelda here isn't earning much, in fact a couple of hundreds just for daily expenses. There is no way in which she will be able to afford that dream Hermes Black Birkin she desires. SIGH. Even so. I am starting to lose my liking towards that bag. Bye Hermes. I'll probably stop by for scarves and not the bags. SIGH.

So do I have a replacement for the Birkin? I do! Surprise surprise! YSL overseas bag.I understand it's an old design. 2 years back. But I love it. Of course there's the grey colour. But the white just appeals to me. Ok. Asides Chanel and Hermes, Zelda's new favourite brand's YSL. :P

The show.

Life is a show. And I guess we should all enjoy the show. So I, Zelda, presents you Lenka's hit - THE SHOW~

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause its to much, yeah its a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool, out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spot light
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time

It's a joke, nobody knows
they've got a ticket to the
show.

Yeah, I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, but I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go

And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum, da dum de dum

and just enjoy the show

da dum de dum, da dum de dum

and just enjoy the show

I want my money back (3x)

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back(x3)

Just enjoy the show

So get inspired by the words and live a happier life~!

Pictures.

Ok. Most of the stuff are in the FILM. And yes. I have been using my film A LOT recently. Digital are just these few.
My late grandma's vintage mahjong set. And I think it's the coolest thing in my house, besides the cable box and the 2 flat TVs.Seriously I have no idea what's that art thing called. You know those stuff where our parents would make us do with those rubbery paint? Well I have done 3 of those and still no idea what's it called. Can someone please put a name to that art and craft activity? Thanks.And this is Dad's annoying GPS in the car. ~Turn right after 500m. Damn that stupid monotonous voice!It's the ESPLANADE darling! Shut up about me cutting in to tourists having the typical (touristy) poses. Damn. I could use one of those shades. Perhaps I'll just make one. Sagacity here I come!!!!! Violin maker's workbench. How chio can it get man. Ok. I'm not weird to say that a workbench in hot. After all one of the greatest violins are produced from a workbench.

Sometime last week I made a jewellery stand for my 50+ pairs of earrings. Actually I did not buy the wood and made it from scratch. The word here is IMPROVISE. Of course Daiso's my favourite store next to Body Shop. So it's the $2 cork note board, some old cloth material I got from spotlight when I was studying design, paints and my favourite invention ever - 3M mounting strips.
See how the cloth is used. Helps to hang those hooked earrings.Vintage earrings + the not so vintage ones. Damn. I really got a lot of earrings. :S

Nobody.

I'm addicted to this song. Korean girls = plastic but hot.

New Hair.

It's been a while since I had my last hair cut. I think it's time for a new look. Short? Posh bob?Pixie?

Frankly, I'm quite bored with my long hair. It's either curls or straight. Always those few looks. Damn. Sienna Miller's cut looks down right hot. Cut? Well I guess it's something I have to try.

Kevin McKidd.

It's not secret that I'm hooked on Grey's. And the guy whose acting as Hunt is super hot. Of course with that Scottish accent. ~Melts. I think I have some fetish for man with the Scottish accent. Think Sean Connery. Oh well. Managed to hear his real voice in one interview about Grey's. He's been faking an American accent for the show.

Yes. I'm just super in love with this chap.

This is interesting.

There's this quiz on facebook about how well you would know a person. So of course I devised my own too. And the results are just so interesting. Perhaps so, it's the refection about what people think of me.

For one, the guys on Grey's are hot but I don't love them. Next, not everything in my life revolves around booze.

Well, it is for sure interesting to read all the different answers.

My ads.

People say I'm an attention seeker, a media leech, whatever the names. Well that's because such people do not have to worry about the financial issues at hand. Ok. I get it that I am making a rather stereotypical or quick judgemental statement here. But doesn't that often seem the case? I write/blog so much so that I get ads running on the blog. So is that a cardinal sin at all?

Guess not. Well, my recent ad campaign is by Neutrogena. Of course to promote their new product - Wave. I have yet to try that product but I have been using a scrub by the same brand, and it works for me. I have eczema and I need products that are sensitive and moisturising. The scrub I'm using works because it's mild. And we have all heard about the micro-beads thing. Well, I believe in that. Used to use a similar product by Johnson & Johnson, and it helps with my then rather-pimply face. I don't get huge breakouts, more like little zits. So in a way I need a scrub that cleans deep within without breaking the thinnest layer of skin. Now as my complexion matures, I get lesser zits but a drier complexion. Hence the build up of dead skin.

Pehaps someone could try the new Wave product and let me know the effects of it?

My kind of guy.

I know I go on and on about the kind of guy I would be attracted towards and now I have a clear definition who this guy is. Alex Karev. The bad ass guy on the outside but a softie within.

In this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, Izzie's condition deteriorates further. Well. I cried like a baby for this 100th episode. It's just beautiful. Seriously beautiful. How I wished that person was like that but he ain't. Oh well. No point hoping for something to happen when it will never do so.

Emphasize.

Yes, I dump my crap here and well, in the eyes of others its called attention. Well. If you ask me, it's all about the effing choice that people take to be attracted by such attention. So, don't complain about what I write since from day 1 it's you who have decided to set foot on my blog. After all this blog is the interpretation of what I think. I won't argue with what you think. Simply because the onus is on you. Of course the onus here is on me. But don't complain about what you see. It just seems you're whinny and wanting everyone else to conform to whatever ideology you own. That's sad. Reason being you are unable to feel secure without the very common agreement on any issue with the general masses.

I don't care if my interpretation is wrong or inaccurate. I have never place a notion in people that I'm an encyclopedia or ensure that what I say is definite. It's just interesting to see that how unusually common people assume you to be. I guess I should feel highly honored with this aspect. :D

Oh and P.S: Suddenly my blog seems to be like the 2 girls and a cup video. All the different reactions are just amusing. This just means that people who are giving reactions are no less different from those who watched that video - downright bored and silly.

I hate the dilema.

I have been watching A LOT of fashion (TV)shows recently. When I mean shows, I mean shows that have high content of fashion in it. Not a runway by Marc Jacobs or by Valentino (I'm in love with Valentino). Think The Hills, Project Runway etc. Back to the topic. And I have been thinking. Should I quit school, get a sewing machine and start designing again but in the fashion sense. Of course my designs will have my typical curved leaves (that's if you have seen my paintings) and those feminine lines.

I'm hoping that this isn't just one of my sudden well-influenced decisions. I want something to work. I want a definite career path that I can see myself in. Something that 10 years down the road I'll still be in and probably have a name in whichever industry.

Yes. In a way it's insane to quit school after struggling for a year with all the stupid drama. And of course it was my decision to study so as to change my industry choice. Now I'm not so sure if the degree could actually help. I guess it's about the opportunities that come knocking on the door. So when will those come? It has been really fun learning about how different people think and express their way of communication but would I even bother to think that(analytical) way when I'm stressed up with some project my company has thrown to me? I don't know. Perhaps it's the poly person in me talking - the need for practicality.

I guess right now, my urgent need is to just get a sewing machine, try to make a few garments. If it works and I could love fashion design, then it's worth considering dropping out. If not, I guess I'll have to suck it up and get that paper chase done. Well, I do live in the sunny island called Singapore.

Scooping down the playing field.

You know what? I have never seen someone so retardedly bored and persistent to find out about my miserly little life. Well, this is what I reckon, such people have NO life (emphasize NO), so they want to leech on to the little flaws of others and portray to the internet world that hey-I'm-one-hell-of-an-interesting-person. Who's the dellusional one? Oh wait. Plus did I actually magically forced your fingers to type "wordsallovertheplace.blogspot.com" and hit enter? Guess not? Damn I just love Nuffnangs (Oh, I know you little bastards type and not linked. My blog has a homing device you see.). Seriously retards.

I like how that annoying debate of it's-my-blog-so-fuck-off idea works. Yes, there's always a way for such people to actually twist the words and tweet it in a way that fits: so-it's your-blog,-fuck-off. Nope. I have not resigned to my fate to be battered by such people but I have understood and decided to be receptive about these people.

Me a bigger person? Seriously I'm not afraid to admit that. I'm not afraid to actually want strangers reading to think that I am the smaller person trying to wear the big pants. It's fine. Here's a really old saying: To love thy, is to love my first. Wrong usage? Whatever. I'll just go round floating with those five colours in my hair. After all those stupid people bore me to tears.

The dress.

I love The Hills and The City from MTV. And I love what the girls in the shows are wearing! Well, I was checking out some site on MTV and I found a site where the girls usually buy their clothes. And I stumbled on this pretty dress.
It's by Christian Siriano. And it can be found at Intermix. Damn. It's chio. Sigh. How I wish I was born a socialite.

It's not working.

Because it's just too little too late.

Aneroxia.

I had an eating disorder some time last year. It wasn't for long but it was impactful enough to make me understand.

Let me be really clear about this. Anorexia is not what we see in skinny models. That's just the aftermath result when the disorder had gone out of hand. Anorexia is a disfunctional way of life. A person needs are certain amount of healthy calories to stay alive each day. Whereas an aneroxic person refuses the food intake and causes the body to repel food mentally. And that was what happened to me. During that period, I disliked food alot. I only had a little dinner so as make my parents believe that I was fine. Even dinner was just half a portion of what a normal person would consume. Within that 2 months I lost 5KG. And it never came back. Thank God for that.

So when you choose to diet, and in a way that compromises your health in the above stated, that's having an eating disorder. It's just to what degree has the disorder gone to. So people educated about the disorder?

Whatever.

I know this is quite wrong of me to write this, but I just have to let of some steam:

Can't people just leave it or take it!!!

Now who's being the annoying one.

Swine flu.

Not trying to sound bimbo here. Seriously I have no idea that is such an epidemic going on. Even when my sister was going on and on about the flu. I guess its just me not watching enough TV.
