GIRL and the CITY

Friday, July 28, 2006

I'm having major sleeping issues these few nights. It's either I can't get to sleep, or my sleep is plagued with weird dreams. Lots of them in one night. But I can't remember anything when I wake up. It's leaving me exhausted. I felt like I've slept for only 3 hours even though it had been 10 long hours.

Sian...Why like that? Maybe I'm stressed...about what I also don't know. Sian...Somebody please save me!!! I need my beauty sleep!!!

Okay, I go sleep liao. Lots to blog, but it will just have to wait...

From today onwards, I got to fast fast update my blog because SOMEBODY (= An-qi-li-na) told me that the updates on my blog are very slow. Slow meh...I think okay leh. Yun never even put up her tagboard for us to tag our nonsense leh...why you never say her?? huh Huh HUH?! Biased Ann...HAHAHA. Anyway, in order to 'appease' Angeline, I'll try to update faster.

Lots of latest gossips at work today. That's what I absolutely LOVE about my work - all the 38 guys and gals. Our favourite 'pick-up line' is, "Eh, you know hor...". Then it will usually be followed by: "HUH?! REALLY AH?!" Today, when I told Yun 1 of the gossips, she even dropped her notebook on the floor and opened her mouth big big. YES. That's how shocking our gossips are. HAHAHA.

Had a mini discussion about Pretty Mommy's blog today with Angeline. Pretty Mommy is Chen Chongzhi's sister but the 2 of them seems so so so so different. Imagine Angeline's (crappiness + narcissism) x 2 or maybe even x 3. That's Pretty Mommy. But that's what make her blog so delicious I guess. Yun and I are already fans. HAHA. And for your info, she's called Pretty Mommy because she's really pretty even when she's already a Mommy to a cute little girl. Check out the link from Angeline's blog if interested...

Yun got me tidbits from BKK.

Including the look-like-shit one:

There's also a bracelet I have yet to receive. Thanks so much Yun! *muacks* Yun said there's alot of bag charms at BKK!!! But she never buy!!! SO SAD!!! But no worries because I've already 'sent' Heng to BKK on a bag-charms-mission, so hopefully he'll come back with lots of them!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (I'm siao.)

Take a peek into my Moonfruit:

This is only 1 of the many pages. But I've only done 1 page so far. HAHA. Trust me, I'm working on it.

F**K. Today then I found out that I won't have enough space to upload mp3 files on my site unless I upgrade it. And to upgrade it to the next level would mean paying approx S$58 annually. But I so wanna play songs on my site. SIGH. Please tell me what to do.

I'm gonna go sleep now. I have to try to dream of the 1st prize 4D number that will open tommorrow evening. Maybe then can I pay for my baby moonfruit. Smoochies everyone!

I was in a cab, looking out of the window. As usual, I was daydreaming.

"Are you happy?", the taxi uncle suddenly asked me.

"Huh?"

"Are you happy?", the taxi uncle repeated his question while pointing at the FM radio. Apparently, the programme on the FM station was asking the same question.

I thought for a while and answered: "Sometimes happy, sometimes unhappy."

"A happiness survey showed that Singapore scored the lowest in the whole of Asia."

"Wah! Really?"

"Ya, stress mah."

I am surprised Singapore scored the lowest. Is it really that stressful in Singapore? Or are people just thinking too much sometimes?

I don't know. And I don't wish to know. I don't like these kind of chim questions. I like to live my life 'superficially'. I'm a superficial person.

p/s: My moonfruit is driving me crazy!!! Arghhhh!!! I guess I'm really an IT idiot. But I'm not giving up no matter what!!!

(This entry is for Heng's reference only...)

Those animal thingy hanging from the straps of the bag are bag charms.

But I don't want this kinda cute-cute one...

I want something like these: (the following are necklaces, but I like the charms hanging from it)

Okay Heng?

I am officially...

...part of the SKII family. (And I finally got my pink trexi ' I LOVE YOU.' bear today. Heehee. Thanks to the J-family.)

Bought only 3 items but they already cost more than $400. Luckily I've got my Dad's sponsorship. Thanks Dad! And I really like how the SKII salesperson try to save money for you coz they understand that it's damn ex. I can't wait to see my beautiful skin!!!

Btw, I had managed to find heels I like (finally!) just this week and I bought 2 pairs! Wheeeeeeee!!! I also bought another 2 mango tops (again!) this week when I was walking around Orchard while waiting for Edmund and Sylvia to finish work. I want to buy dresses too! I'm really crazy over silk and chiffon stuff...but dresses are very ex.

My cousin's husband gave her 3 presents for her birthday today!!! SO GOODY GOODY!!! He got her 2 watches all the way from Europe and a Balenciaga Twiggy! The Twiggy is such a beauty. In light grey (my target color) too!!! Now that she's got the light grey, I'm gonna aim for lilac instead. Heehee. But I want City. Twiggy's abit too small for me. Still, I need to pray that I'll get good results. Only then will I be able to get a Balenciaga all the way from Paris in September/October (because there's too long a waiting list in Singapore). *praying praying and still praying*

Does anyone know of any place that sells pretty bag charms? I've been searching high and low for bag charms but it seems that Singapore doesn't have much of it yet. SIAN. Please let me know ya? Thanks!

Enough of my shopping talk. Driving lesson tomorrow! Can't wait to gossip with the babes at work! Outings! But, I'm still damn dulan and I'm not gonna forgive and forget no matter what.

Elyse bitching @ 11:28 PM | comment

It's final.

Everything is officially over.

I'm sorry.

But I'm not one who can easily forgive.

F**k everyone who's involved.

Farewell.

Some say I look cuter with my new hairstyle. Some = Raynard *ahem*

Some say I look Korean. Some = Suzi *ahem*

Some say I look pretty with my hair let down. Some = Duo-li-si (Doris) *ahem* (Actually I've always been pretty la...HAHAHA)

Some say I look gong-gong. Some = May + Val *ahem*

Some say this hairstyle suits me better. Some = Charles + Jacob + Christine *ahem*

But it's only half-complete. I have a few options on what to do for the 2nd stage (dilemma) - courtesy of Edmund. Still contemplating. Hmm...

Plus last week Yuan-yuan had commented that I'm very fair. Heeheeheeheehee. Even though I'm not as fair as An-qi-li-(na), but as Yuan-yuan says, Angeline is fair until can glow liao, so to reach her stage would then be a miracle for me. Angeline is sooooooo fortunate huh!!!

Today is Jacob's last day!!!! *sob sob sob sob sob sob sob sob sob* Who will talk nonsense with me during work now???!!!! Who will update me on all the latest gossips???!!!! Who else will wave vigorously to me whenever he sees me on the salesfloor???!!! I'll miss you Jacob. I'm sure you will have a good time in Paris though. Study hard and keep in contact k?? *hugz*

Outings guys!!! Where are the outings???!!!! Seems like there's alot of farewell parties to hold (excuses to go out. HAHA).

Next week got 3 newbies. All girls. HURHURHUR. It's time for my TORTURING EQUIPMENTS!!! Bet the guys must be hoping that these 3 are beauties. LECHERS!!! HAHAHA! Okay I'm siao liao.

It had been quite a long time since I had post up interesting pics. REMINDER: Outings guys!!!!! OUTINGSSSSS!!!

Okay, I've been too long-winded. Go on to next topic.

As I am a bag-maniac, I'm always on the look-out for nice bags, even when I'm at work. (Yes! It's the scary topic of 'Elyse and Her Bags' AGAIN!)

That time when I'm aiming for the Paddington, I kept following those customers who were carrying it everywhere. After that, I'm siao over the Luxury Line by Chanel bowling bag remember? But so far, I've seen only 1 customer with it. It's probably too expensive, hence becoming very rare in Singapore. And today, I saw this girl carrying a very nice metallic-toned tote bag. I was staring and staring at her bag until I can't curb my rising-desire and went closer to have a look at it. Salvatore Ferragamo. Lovely! Then, I saw another girl carrying this same bag again on the streets after work when I'm walking over to Cineleisure to meet my cousin. Such a coincidence! Spotted the same bag on the same day! I MUST have a certain affinity with it!!! (HAHAHA, tok cok.) Anyway, I came back home and immediately searched for the bag on the net. And this is THE BAG:

Gancio Tassel Shoulder Bag

I love the colour! I love the drawstrings! I love the tassels! And most of all - I sort of love the price tag that comes with it too! WAHAHAHAHA!

If I'm not wrong, the price should be around S$1,700+. Heaved a sigh of relief when I found out that it's not over S$2,000. Although it's still not a small sum, neither is it unreachable. And I'm definitely happy 'bout that. I MUST WORK HARD! I MUST I MUST! (Look! My wish list is getting longer and longer!)

*feeling all hyped-up now*

...Lalalala...

I'm so so glad Italy won! But as usual, I'm sad for the other team, France, coz they're so kelian. When I saw them cry after they lost the penalty shootout, my heart goes out to them.

I really wonder what Materazzi had said to provoke Zidane. It must have been quite vicious. When I saw the replay of the head-butt by Zidane, I was like 'Wah lau, this is childish loh'. Zidane's departure with the red card is the last we'll ever see of him as a player. So ultra-sad. And he didn't even come out to receive his medal as 1st runner-ups. Even more ultra-sadness. Nevertheless, the world will still remember him as a great great hero in footballing history.

Anyway, the rumour in France about the French team paying the Brazilian team 25 million Euro (if I'm not wrong should be in Euro dollars) to lose in the quarter-finals seems possible to me. Why the hell would Parreira field a team who had already proved themselves ineffective in the WC qualifying? Why no Adriano? Why had Juninho and some others who had been left out from the starting line-up all along been used in such an important match? Why the sudden change in formation/tactic? Why the hell would the stupid Brazilian (dunno who) who was beside Henry not follow him when he went up to receive Zizou's free kick (I saw the replay and it was damn obvious that he purposely left Henry unmarked coz he was still staring at Henry when Henry ran up loh!)? Too many questions left unanswered.

Okay, too much soccertalk. But this will be the last bit of it since World Cup Germany '06 is now officially over.

I just watched the first episode of 'Ghost Whisperer' and I cried like 7 - 8 times over the short span of 60 minutes. WOAH! I think I broke my record! AMAZING! But it's really good. Plus I love Jennifer Love Hewitt since the I-Know-What-You-Did-Last-Summer-times. So, it's double the goodness. *slurp*

Recently, my motto is 'Dare to be different'. So I tend to buy lotsa BIG accessories with da blings. I had been looking for skull and crossbones pendant with diamantes for a damn damn damn long time. Believe it or not, there isn't much of them in Singapore. The whole of Singapore is still overstocked with Paris Hilton's crown pendants, 50 Cents dollar sign blings, the usual hearts and stars etc etc etc. BUT, I finally found it a few days ago!!!!!!!

Cool huh? It gives a 'Who-cares?Lets-rock' kinda look.

But after awhile, I realised that it's actually abit of 'Pirates-of-the-Caribbean' style too! (Refer to pink circle in below pic)

Ooo la la!! Btw, I love Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. Keira Knightley is unbelievably beautiful too. And she's only 20 or 21. Sooooooo young and yet soooooooooo pretty!!! Life's unfair isn't it?

Okay, I'm in a crisis here. I need to buy shoes coz I don't have enough of it (especially heels). But, I can't find anything I really like!!!! This is frustrating!!! I don't usually shop for shoes because I don't really have this immense liking for it (unlike clothes and bags). So now I'm in deep shit since I've only got 3 pairs of heels which I actually DO WEAR (the rest are either quite difficult to match or have some other problems with it). So I'm like always wearing those same old heels in rotating 'shifts'. I need heeeeeelsssssss please!!! Anyone who knows any places that sell heels in fantastic designs please let me know. Thanks!!!

elyseeeee` signing off...XOXO

I saw the heavily-censored violent (and it's really violent) girls' fight video at kennysia.com yesterday and oh my god. I don't what I should say. The feeling after watching it is indescribable. I'm just glad that it's 'heavily-censored' so that I can't see the faces of the people, or should I say KIDS, involved. Or else I might have nightmares.

Finally got a chance to work with An-qi-li-(na) yesterday. All along, I had thought that I am oh-so-clever to have discovered her blog by chance and had been secretly 'stalking' her since before the exams (I know that her house had caught fire early in the morning some time ago). But she told me yesterday that she had been reading my blog too (she knows that my mum wakes up at 2am and that I had went to the mango sale!). So 'QING TIAN PI LI'!!! *lightning strikes* So she had been 'stalking' me too. *winks* We were in a complicated relationship of secretly-but-actually-not-so-secretly-stalking-each-other.

Yuan-yuan is now (un)officially the SKII spokesperson. HAHA. My skin is having lots of problems these days. F**K. Must be due to the hot weather. Makes my skin so oily. But I've got no money to buy SKII. Sian. Plus I'm getting tanner due to my afternoon driving lessons! Argh!!! I absolutely hate the sun. I want to change my image in a positive way, not by becoming uglier!

Yuan-yuan going to Bangkok soon. Yuan-yuan can buy 8-pairs-100baht-earrings. So good! An-qi-li-(na) asked her to buy those look-like-shit-but-very-delicious-tidbits. Val asked her to help buy bras. I asked her to help bring my hair over to colour and cut over there. Style pretty pretty come back. HAHAHA. Maybe can bring my nails over for manicure too. HAHAHA. Okay, I'm getting lame...

Italy won!!!! Italy will be going to Berlin!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Although unexpected, I'm definitely happy about it.

I got my crayons! Whee Whee Wheeeeeeee!!!!! Can start drawing nonsense and more nonsense from now on!

And I'm still lovin' my driving lessons!!!

Okay. I have to eat my words. *gobbles*

I'm so sad that Brazil is out!!! France is now my new enemy after eliminating both Spain and Brazil from the World Cup Finals! I don't think Portugal would be able to beat them, so the job of avenging my dearest 2 teams will lie on Germany/Italy in the final.

BOOHOO!!!! Brazil and Spain are out!!! Now there's only my dear Italy left!!! But Germany is such a strong side too!!!! BOOHOO!!!

Suddenly, I feel abit depressed that the World Cup will be over very soon. How I hope the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A will start right after the World Cup. I don't like this feeling of emptiness in my heart...I'm so lost...

Soccer...soccer...please don't end.

p/s: Please let the exams results be out soon and that God will bopi me get good results. Because..........I might be able to get a BALENCIAGA!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT???!!!! Lalalalala...

I'm not an England supporter. Neither am I a Portugal supporter. I just want to win money. HAHA.

When the match between England and Portugal went to penalty shootout, I thought England will win since Robinson is pretty good. That was until I heard the commentator said that England had never won any penalty shootouts in World Cup history. That is like so 'WAH LAU!' loh. NEVER won any penalty shootouts in WC history leh...so lousy.

And it came true once again. The curse is still alive and kicking and haunting the England team.

The Portugal goalkeeper is so damn good! Lampard's WC curse of not being able to score followed him all the way to the shootout (despite being the top scorer of the England team in qualifying). Don't know what's wrong. I actually think Rooney's red card is abit too harsh. It should have been a yellow. But I thought Rooney would have learnt his lesson after getting a few red cards in the past for flaring up while playing for England as well as for Man U and more so since he had attended anger management classes. Well, apparently not.

Although I'm not a supporter of either sides, it still pains me to see England players crying. It makes me cry too. Football is indeed a cruel game. Sigh.

Never mind la, anyway Brazil will beat Portugal (and even if England won - England) in the semis. YES, Brazil will win the last quarter-final match later. To all France supporters out there: HISTORY WILL NOT REPEAT ITSELF! DON'T YOU DARE TO BE TOO STUCK UP JUST BECAUSE FRANCE KICKED SPAIN OUT OF THE WC! TODAY, BRAZIL WILL SEEK REVENGE FOR THEMSELVES AS WELL AS SPAIN! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (I hope I won't have to eat my words later)

BRAZIL GO GO GOALSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! FAT RONALDO GOOOOOOOOO!!! RONALDINHO GOOOOOOO!!! (you haven't score any goals yet! all the best in this match!) KAKA GOOOOOOOOO!!! Btw, I love looking at Brazil fans - they've got the most fanciful outfits and sexiest girls!
