(In)decent Proposal

Then went to Orchard area with PS and then a v. cute Caucasian guy approached us!!! (Actually is not as suggestive as it sounds.) He has dark brown hair and v. nice chiselled features. Fancy he's German or sth, because of his accent. Here is the conversation.

Him "Hotel?" (in a vague, heavily accented tone)
Me "Huh???" (actually is v. mesmerised)
Him "Hotel?" (can actually remember his nice deep voice)
Me "Oh, uh, walk straight down and there is a hotel"
Him "Walk straight" (gesturing at the general front direction)
PS "There are alot of hotels at this area" (she wanted to add that they are v. expensive!)
Him "Walk straight?" (gesturing again)
Me "Yes, after the road, you will see Hilton Hotel"
Him "Hilton Hotel?" (like v. happy)
Me "Yes"
Him "Walk straight?" (gesturing again!)
Me "Yes, walk straight" (for like, the 3rd time!)
Him "Ok, thank you!"
PS & Me (grins happily in a friendly and cute and sexy way, yeah right)

Actually, when he mentioned "hotel", something popped into my head. I thought he wanted PS and I to go to the hotel with him!!! Wanted to giggle at this v. seductive and suggestive thought but realised that I was dreaming again... (weak laugh)
Mango Squash

Went with PS to Mango @ Raffles City tosay for the Sale. And guess what, there was a waiting list just to get into Mango!!! PS and I had to queue for 15 minutes before we can get in. Actually saw a top that I had been eyeing for months and wanted to buy it, but was v. discouraged by the queue at the cashier's. It's even longer than the queue outside Mango. Then went over to Mango @ Shaw House and there was no queue! But inside, it was just as busy. Didn't realise the popularity of Mango till today. Again, PS and I were cheated by Sales. The first was the Giodano one.

The Spread of Givenchy-itis

Yes!!! Yes!!!! The spread of the influence of Givenchy has reached a new high!!!! After an addict of Givenchy's Teint Soilel Cream Foundation, Christine Chew started discovering the gorgeousness of Givenchy's foundation, she has been raving about it since Feb 2002. However, fellow shoppers at Parco Bugis, Peishan and Sam, did not get addicted even after hearing Christine talk about 'my really pretty skin!'. However, Christine has already made up her mind that Givenchy is Gorgeous. However, she did get set back by the other really pretty foundations like Presciptives Traceless and Lancome Photogenic Gel.

But today, Givenchy has another fan and that is Sam!!! Yay! Welcome abroad, Sam, and may Givenchy prosper forever!!!

And may Origins 'Pinch your cheeks' blush prosper forever!!! Yay!!!
Z(Y)enhood

Gaaahhh!!! Yen has a SALE!!! I bought a swirly pink yellow orange skirt thingy. Think it looks quite gypsy and pretty. But mum and bro-ster both beg to differ. Oh well. Think Sam got a better deal. A whooping $40 off! All I got was a measly 70% off. And bought a pretty sexy tube top too. This is my first tube. There was this really sexy dress that I was so tempted to buy. It is a short red cocktail dress thingy and it is a crossback. And it was $129. It is now $19. I would buy that dress if I had a D&D.

Accounts for today

Soccer Freak

Lemme see. I want to buy a soccer jersey set. Yup, am turning out to be a regular freak. Maybe would buy the Dutch orange soccer suit. That is so cool. Maybe will hafta save up. It is quite expensive, I think. About $80+. Am excited just thinking about it.
Lalalala

Know that I am supposed to be studying my lit texts now but here I am, watching the Korea v Germany match. My fingers are crossed! I really wondered how the Koreans have come so far. Whose coattails have they been riding on, the refrees'?

OHMYGOD!!!!
Germany is up by one at 75 minutes!!! YAY!!!!!! YAY!!!! I just screamed myself quite hoarse. My god. Ballack is god. Kahn is god. He is my hero. Alright!!! Ok, now, the Germans cannot afford to be complacent. I am so happy. Mum and Bro just screamed like mad too. God, I cannot seem to make a coherent sentence. Self professed 'I-support-for-no-one' Dad stands on the fence. It is so like him. But it is good too. At least dad keeps us in check and tell us not to be too overboard. YAY!!!

YAY!!
YAY!!
YAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!

World Cup Ramblings

The Red Blue and White
Yay! For the US. Although they lost against Germany, they were a great great team who fought so valiantly right to the very end!! Hurrah! It is the true fighting spirit of the Americans and they played a fantastic match although they lost. Good for the Yanks!!

Dog eaters
I may as well come right out and say it. I do not like the Korean football team. It is not as skillful as their fans say them to be and their entire ride to this world cup have been based on pure luck. Ugh. I really dislike the Ahn person. The one with curly hair and skinny face. I do not like him and think he is really childish, the way he imitated the ice skating thing during the match against the US. That is so juvenile and it encourages further hatred between the two countries. They really do not deserve to be in the semi finals. Alright, that is the end of my tirade.

So much better

Seems like T has some probs with his life. And he sounds so much worse than mine. It really puts into perspective how trival my probs are.
A Little Deeper

Due to the kind of mood I am in nowadays, I really doubt if I can even form a coherent sentence. Sigh. Thanks Sam, by the way, it's a nice gesture and I fully appreciate it. Have just borrowed a Jane Austen instruction book thingy and it helped to clear my foggy brain a little (drinking coffe helped too, by the way). And it's so wise too (the Jane Austen book,not the coffee). I think I could learn a little about it. In fact, I think I should take up Zen and Yoga too. Not kidding there. Hmm... feel quite deep all of a sudden.

A Capsule A Day
Maybe Vitamins would help boost self, and life me out of this fogginess. Have been walking around in a daze all this while. Maybe would buy the multivitamins, that is great. And should tell Sam to buy too, since there is some sort of evening primrose oil extract inside. It's pretty cheap at Shop and Save too. Oh no, am catching the pill popping wave.

OH NO! I really have to start studying soon. Oh, T is online.

All that I cannot leave behind

This is a new chapter of my life. I have decided about it. It was painful, really painful. I am so frustrated at several individuals...And try as hard as you might, it never counts. And maybe there isn't anyone I can talk to about this because there is only so much accquintances can do. There is only so much that they care. I wish I can talk to T. I wish I can go back to the past when life was much simplier and less complicated. Maybe there is only so much that can come true.

There are some things I cannot leave behind. But I will learn.

"...and this is what the World Cup is all about."
It's all about luck.
I cannot believe it. France is out!!! Argentina is out!!! What a shame. Who else is there to root for already? It's all about luck! I refuse to believe that France lost because of lack or talent or similar. That's coz France is a fantastic team. I am inclined to believe that they lack luck. I mean, the David Trezugruet semi-hit-the-goal-post goal when they played against Denmark is a good example. Oh sheesh, what other team can i root for now? This is turning out to be a really dissappointing World Cup. Ok, I still have Italy, England and Sweeden. All is not lost.

Instant *Glamour
Oh. My. God. Mum has done it. We (mum and me) went to Parco Bugis Junction today and guess what? She has agreed to sponsor me to get this professional studio shot thingy! It is so cool, and the price is quite okay too, and has special prices due to the Great Singapore Sale. Ohmygod, ohmygod. Am really going to do it. Is so cool. Think that Instant Glamour should be quite a fantastic place as saw some sample shots and they were Gorgeous!! And the best thing was that the 'after' photo was like 167 times more gorgeous than the 'before'. Yay! Hurray! Am quite excited about it. Cannot wait.

One Step Closer!!! Hurrah!

Yay! Have done it. Have signed up for a journalism workshop thing at the Straits Times and will be mingling with journalists and reporters and editors in v. posh and mature style. Am so excited as is a sign of taking a step towards self's ideal job. Am quite excited by the prospect of hanging out in the office, discussing current issues with the sophisticated worldly people of the publishing world. Am v. excited. Maybe should get ready to dress up, maybe in style of say Jennifer Aniston in 'Picture Perfect'. Sexy, sprited and spunky, maybe a little vulnerable and funny. Yay!

Uh, maybe should wait for the acceptance email before celebrating. Can't wait to tell Miss Tan; she'd be thrilled.

Am so Monstered out
(Haha, thanks to PS who pointed out to me the word Monstered, great word)
Monster was so irritating today. Was hanging over shoulder and making comments over everything I said to friends. Have an idea of a great big slime ball hovering around me, dripping saliva every time he makes a remark. Ewww… Maybe should spit at him. Probably not, to be honest.
Confessions of a invigorated Christine
Realized that I have been too callous about the feelings of other people. Mum asked me to do some household chores today and immediately, I grumbled and threw stuff about. Later apologized and mum was like, “I’ve gotten used to it”. Maybe am too unfeeling about the feelings of other people until it finally dawned on me. Like with NSL today, who called and asked if I were angry with her as I sure looked as though I did. Am quite puzzled by it as am not really angry. Then realized that I have been so preoccupied and tired so much so that it has made people think that I am angry with them. Maybe should pay more attention to the kind of vibes that I am giving out. But must still go with the Flow, be Zen like etc.
