Applause dies away; Tropies get the dust; Winners are soon forgotten!
To be number 1,其实有那么重要吗?
某些时候，名利，地位 有它一定的重要性，
可是它往往也是跌倒的元素！平凡或许是最好的！
这一刻回头看见自己, 这一路的风景百感交集的我, 下一刻又将飞向哪里?
懒得去管, 顺其自然, 天空为你我而蓝, 烦脑抛开, 脑袋空白, 糊里糊涂也不坏…
为工作付出， 为活着而忙碌 ，为什么而辛苦，我仔细纪录
我还不清楚， 怎样的速度， 符合这世界， 变化的脚步
生活像等待， 创作的黏土，幸福 ，我要的幸福
梦想 理想 幻想 狂想 妄想
我只想坚持每一步， 该走的方向，就算一路上偶而会沮丧
生活是自己选择的衣裳， 幸福 ，我要的幸福 – 希望在不远处！
Contrast to usual, the sight of it does not pleasure me! I felt so much been cheated by so many hidden surcharges, its so damn pricey…gosh…
I bet that you will admire them with glee - at my expense! It’s really a hikey price to pay at RM$340, and i am truely sored about it.
The beautiful bridal manicure:
And here’s the cutie pedicure and my first attempt of the fruits theme:
想想，也并没有什么很不顺的事发生。。。大吉利事，千万不要不请自来！
我记忆里的美好2008:
1/ 我终于第一次出远门，坐>10 小时的飞机到美国一游；
2/ 我第一次是个幸运儿，赢了个超大电视；
3/ 我第一次 UNDER ultizied 我的病假, till date the total days taken 2 only;
4/ 我第一次终于 say goodbye to bad debts and start saving for rainy days :p
5/ 我第一次电了圈发；
6/ 我终于圆了 bubu 的 wishlist, 戴方帽拍合家照，高高挂大厅
想不起还有什么…but the good thing is, I am still in One piece, still surviving
我的2008烂事记忆收藏一个教训 - 凡事要三思而行，reset button is not always a 2nd chance option available. 还有，世界真的要和平，沒有戰亂，泰国的‘内轰’搞到我牺牲了我期待已久的假期，耽误我答谢‘高人’的呵护与照了我平平安安，顺顺利利。。。我还有些未完成的心想-事成噢！但只好下次，在亲自一一告诉您。
我的。。。‘易灵灵发’，我没什么牢骚可发 
希望我的 2009，会是个精彩: 有声，有色，有金，有喜。。。的好年！
说真的，我其实不是很非常喜欢圣诞节。真的喔！
圣诞节在我那 lala 的世界里，就是给我更多的借口和制造更多更多的理由，
买一大堆我希望拥有而不是必定需要的奢侈品。
多谢圣诞节，把平日落空的目标，在圣诞节实现。。。
我超厚脸皮的安慰自己 : “要买就买咯，辛苦了300多天，买下来也过分不到那里！” 问题是，老实的我，在我记忆生处，只有宽待，没有亏待和委屈自己咯。。。总之，就是”泛滥”态度。
就这样，我不用多想东西划不划算，买的值不值得，
的一大堆理由来justify! …It’s christmas and this is suffice lor…
今年，我把送礼的 budget moderate down, 自己的 budget maintain or still within range to moderate up!…
看一看，我给自己添了什么好料:
1/两张 High Society, Jazz In the City volume 1 & 2 from 那CD店
2/日本第一畅销壁挂式CD机 from 无印良品
3/两梅时尚戒指。。。嗨，买不起 B,C 字头的品牌，更不用瞎想 D for Diamond 咯。
4/日本限量版Onitsuka Tiger 休闲靴。。。我终于在2008年结束前达到我定下的wishlist…你瞧，那包装多精致。。。羡慕吗！
I knew - you will say: Christmas no christmas got difference to you meh!
“If you can’t reach what you want from where you are, you have two options:
You must either aim for something else attainable from your present position or You must move yourself closer.”
In my case, i made my maiden entry to Bottega Veneta Boutique today aiming straight at the Wallet & Assessories Corner. Effortlessly, I made my selection on a woven wallet in red which i had eyeballed for sometime. All ready to settle with my choice when the helpful sales assistant recommended its best buy of the day - The Signature Woven Medium Veneta to go with my wallet. A delightful matching bag cum wallet set indeed.
To avoid been overly disgusting and mindful of my conduct which may stir lifestyle upheavals. I chose the bag, a item i thought i would never afford for this brand as the prices are not cheap. It is known for intricate hand weave, higest quality leather and the touch is soft and supple.
It’s tempting to make a random decision and this was made swift with the additional discount and shopping vouchers i have won.
If i don’t buy it now, i won’t at all next time. And afterwards, i wish i had.
And so i did, and i rarely want repentance.
Shoulder Veneta, S$1701, 3 December 2008.
This autumn/winter 2008, i have been crazy chasing over bows after bows, ribbons and more ribbons. All seen in my clothes, shoes, bags, and the affection for it never stops and is extended to my nails:
Miu Miu was a up & coming brand gaining popularity because of its unconventional design in gorgeous leather! And i am definitely smitten on this new kid on the block.
I striked on a good deal on my maiden miu miu during its Spring/Summer 2007 seasonal sale and chose this unappealing colour but beautiful leather folds with cool contrasting golden studs handle to add to list.
12 December 2007, S$1248
And i am drooling to expand my miu miu collection with its signature coffer series. Can santa please grant me my wish?
Matellase Luxe Convertible Medium Bag
A absolute turn-off and disappointment sets into scene when your tardiness of one or two days result on the possibility that your coveted handbag is all sold out in-store & worldwide. Regretably you have to trade for a second best option available, and the whole cycle of waiting game and disappointment starts again when the sales staff replied: “this is the last piece, madame.” Would you want to spend your account toting a piece that has been touched by hundreds of vain poxs who have experimented the bags in different styles, different angles, looking into the mirror intensively asking it “mirror mirror on the wall, which bag is the prettiest among all?” I definitely would not want a “second” handbag with legacy fingerprints and vain poxy marks stained on my pursuit that i generously squander my hardearn savings on.
My wishlist for my first Chanel was a single chain lambskin quilted classic flap bag. 
It was priced at S$2150 spotted in Jan 2007 but by the time i decided to give a go, it was the last piece left. Sadly, i wrote my name on the waiting list and it came on Mar 2007. By then the price has rosed to S$2450.
Concurrently, I spotted a new arrival of Spring/Summer 2007 and decided to leave this classic flap bag for the season’s best in blue hues. And i eagerly pinned home my very first Chanel on 3 March 2007 at S$2650.
I requested the boutique staff to wrap it up for i want to re-experience and feel the joy of unwrapping a dream gift i have marvelled. It was my most pricey handbag till date.
Satified with one already? The lust for two and three keep the search for this iconic interlocking C. And with no more money for a bigger ticket item, my wayward unruly quest for more landed me a goatskin wallet with contrasting piping at Euro$390, hand delivered from a pal who got it from its France flagshop in May 2007.
The lust for Chanel still does not end, 大家姐called me excitedly from Korea Airport. ‘GPRS-ing’ me her location - inside Chanel Boutique and the Paris Biarritz Shopping Bag that i have been talking about is going at USD$1700. I agreed to invest S$1K and the deal was sealed in March 2008.

Crossing continents in search of these iconic watchlists are a great pleasure and saving for the pocket.
回味童年，
回想当年，
回顾过去，
回首往事，
然而这一切的点点滴滴屯时，真的回味无穷！
市场掀起了‘年书’让我们玩一玩时光倒转，回顾我们穿梭不同年代所留下的痕迹。
假冒，我喜欢！！！又可以当古典美人，谁will mind!
This is a delightful journey through decades of fashion…have fun laughing at my vintage vanity characters.
1954年 - 当年的标志 = cat eyes glasses 。You got all stares! OMG - 我还有double chin!可恶！
1958年 - 风靡潮流的是a cardigan sweater! No wardrobe is complete without it…
1960年 - 掀起了 ‘little black dress’, 至今the lourve for LBD 还没退潮！还有我这张照片的feel,很陈宝珠，黑枚瑰的年代:
Knee-high go go boots were groovy in 1966. And the mod look…..
1968 - Oversized glasses were big & the trendsetter Jackie O! Oh Jackie O…我这个冒牌货。。。
1978 - 爆炸头和designers jeans hugged the hips of every girl. Twenty years later - Now, they are still hugging away…
1980 - I was born in the 80s! 流行什么 - 三面夏娃BoBo头。。。
二十年后，2008年，真真的我和我的童年商标。。。2008年流行的是进进出出dempsey place lor!
祝将28岁的我，永远青春活力，生日快了！万岁！
Gucci appeals to me because of its signature interlocking GG motif, its signature horsebit trademark, its signature hobo design, its signature bamboo handle and the most unmistakable Gucci logo. And i am proud to be associated with GG, its so close to heart representing my initials.
Here, i proudly present my collection:
1) Abbey Medium Shoulder Bag, Spring/ Summer Collection 2006.
It is the annual season sale and with exclusive staff discount on top of the usual mark down, i cannot bring myself to say no to this lovely piece at S$847. 2nd June 2006, the birthday of my bag was the FIFA World Cup Opening and Germany played a beautiful game scoring 4 against Costa Rica 2.
3) Abbe Medium Tote, Fall/Winter Collection 2005.
A gift for mummy but became mine eventually :). S$619.50 after exclusive staff discount, 9 December 2005.
4) Dumpling Small Tote, Spring/Summer 2008.
Purchased in HK, classified as the Japan Hottest item - Not to be missed! Paid HK$3303 on 4 August 2008. A reward using the performance bonus just pocketed. This the only piece of handbag i bought without waiting for the sale but still i save S$100 from the retail price in Singapore at S$700.
5) Pouchette, Spring/Summer 2004.
My very first Gucci gotten at a reasonable budget of S$274. A limited edition spotted at T2 while boarding my flight to Sydney on 15 June 2004.
6) Card Holder, Fall/Winter 2006.
A Birthday gift for sweet 26. S$170.
7) Wallet, Fall/Winter 2004.
Envied a friend who was seen with this in Medium and i got it from the season sale on 12 December 2004 at S$440. I had a merry merry christmas with my new gucci wallet that year.
Am i not a smart shopper? And i am glad that i have kind people around me who are willing to extend their premiums with me.
