Jack The Lad

Have you seen all the videos on Jack Neo's press conference? He apologises, the wife pleads for the media to leave the family alone, she cries, he cries, as they stand to leave the room, she wails loudly, faints, ten people crowd around her trying to help, when really none of them are really acrually helping... and this one gangster looking guy stands there and Shouts at the reporters to go away! (erm... it's a press conference, they're there to record and take pics) . But... Oh, the Drama!

And what's this I hear... 10 girls have come forward???! You know what? For every 1 girl that comes forward, there must be 5 more that dare not reveal their dirty secrets. Seems to be Jack's been quite the Lad.

Have you realised how some men are only attracted to one type??? You know? Like Tiger's mistresses were all blonde (or mostly)... there were no hispanic, asian, african american or dark haired mistresses/flings. And Jack... well.. from what I've seen, they're all pretty plain looking 20-something year old Chinese girls. [Can't believe he actually told one of them he was going to make her the next Fann Wong! How did he manage a straight face while saying that? I wonder]

Extra marital affairs, even though I don't condone them, I do feel it's so common.

When I was much younger, a photographer that I met during a shoot (not going to tell you who, there's nothing in it for me to expose him anyway), got to chatting with me. He was a bit older (abt 10 years plus or so)... I must have been 21 ish. And I went out with him.

Started out harmless, as I wasn't attracted to him. I just thought it was cool to go out with a photographer (forgive me, I know not what I did, I was young!).

But he had a fun party lifestyle. And I loved being around him. After a few weeks, he invited me over for dinner. So I went to his condo (on some hill near pasir panjang it was). As he was almost done preparing dinner, being the child that I was, I thought it would be a great idea to play a trick on him and hide. So I jumped into his wardrobe and shut the door, I looked around me, and even though it was dark, I realised I was sqooshed up between a bunch of dresses (!).

So, I jumped back out, quite alarmed (thinking- what have I done?!) and had to pretend nothing had happened all throughout dinner. I didn't see him anymore after that, and I was too much of a coward to ask him about the wardrobe of women's stuff.

Either he had a wife and she was away, or he's a cross dresser. I think it's more likely that he has a wife but planned to string me along.

I also have a female friend who is in the midst of a torrid affair with a married man (with kids). I'm sure everyone who reads this post will either have experienced it themselves or know of someone who has.

What is this world coming to!? :(

Somebody Kiss Me!

For an everyday look, dark lips are dated. The only ones I see walking around with dark lip colours are some aunties going to the market, SQ girls and crossdressers. [Don't get mad at me if you happen to be any one of them ok... it's just my observation]

The trend now is for glossy pouty lips in very natural looking baby soft colours. Whether you have thin or thick lips, whatever complexion you have, whether you're Asian, White or Black.... this look will suit you. It's feminine, understated SEXY and oh-so-kissable!

ettusais has new lippies that will help you achieve this look.

Melty Touch Rouge (SG$31) is the latest limited edition lipstick from ettusais. It's a combination of color, gloss amd moisture. The combination of all this gives your lips a slightly sheer, milky looking coverage. The lipstick has the color on the outside and the core contains the gloss!

True to its name, it melts on to my lips when I apply it.
There are 5 colors available - Pink, Red, Orange, Rose and Beige. I am using the pink one (but of course!). It looks so sweet and natural. I love it!

The Jelly Gloss (SG$28) comes in 2 types (15 shades altogether!). The sheer shades give my lips a shimmer while the opaque shades give my lips a soft glossy color. So really everyone can find a shade they like!

The applicator is a spatula shaped wand, this makes application a breeze as I can get the right amount onto my lips and spread it very easily.

The thing that always amazes me about the lip glosses from ettusais is the staying power! It keeps my lips looking glossy and plump for hours. It also has the goodness of ingredients like jojoba oil which conditions my lips. I love how it not only makes my lips look good but it also keeps them moisturised.
So, no more harsh looking lips ok girls! Think baby soft, plump and kissable looking lips!

Relax, It's Just Bali... Not Mars

In response to some of the comments from my earlier post- I'm not looking for your pity and I certainly am aware that I am the creator of any mess I find myself in... hence the title - Oh What A Tangled Web I Weave.

I'm not perfect and I cannot tell the future either. I'm dealing with these imperfections and uncertainties in life. And at the same time, I'm living life and staying true to myself. I'm doing what I feel is right for me.

Sure, you may not agree with how I live my life, and I respect that. You are entitled to your own opinion.

But for you to jump to conclusions because I fly to Bali with a male friend... (to join a whole bunch of other people in Bali...)... I feel is downright insular on your part.

As long as I'm single, I can travel with whoever I want to... and even if I were attached, the only person I would have to take into consideration is my partner, and not you.
.

Plus the main point of the trip to Bali was to meet my cousin (& company) who flew to Bali from Australia as part of her 30th Birthday celebration.
She's only 7 months older than me so we're very close. (Soon, it'll be my turn to turn 30!)

The Aussie bunch arrived on Thursday. But my friend and I only arrived on Sarurday and we checked into our hotel at Seminyak pretty late (8pm), so we didn't do much that first night except pop out to Hu'u Bar for dinner. I had foie gras, and I can't remember what I had for my main (haha). (Pictures of hu'u bar are in my friend's camera, I'll update later)

I wore a Purple Icicle dress from GipsyScarlet. I'm lemming for their ombre tube dresses from collection 3 next. I've been wearing my hair up and away from my face quite often lately.

After I take the chostick out of my hair bun, I always get wavy hair... and I quite like it... I'm wondering if I should go for a hairstyle with more volume next, or stick to straight rebonded hair?

The weather the next day was fantastic. Blue skies as far as the eye can see. We did a short beach walk and then went to Kuta for lunch. I hate kuta... so smogy and busy.

In the evening, we all went to Jimbaran beach for a fresh seafood feast. Lobster, prawns, fish...ice cold beers... extreme yums.

We dined right on the beach, by candlelight, with the waves lapping in the background.

The Mariachi (spell??) band played a few songs for us, while I hopped around trying to photograph it. Typical Singaporean I am... can't just relax and enjoy the moment (!).


The next day was spent sight seeing. Went up to Ubud, which is more idyllic than Kuta.


Had a nice lunch at this restaurant by a paddy field.

Food was great, the only shitty thing for me is that they had these Frog things on th table. *puke* I hate frogs, makes me feel like vomiting!

But I soon got over it once my food arrived. I ordered Crispy Duck!! Absolute Heaven! I know the pic doesn't make it look too appetising... but trust me, it was soooooooo crispy, tasty, lip smackingly good!

We also spent some time with the monkeys in Monkey Forest.

And then drove up to the top of some volcano that now has a lake in it or something. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the weather turned shitty. Overcast.
Our last night there, was spent watching the sunset and then dinner at Kudeta. I had a different type of foie gras this time (mixed with prawn).

And crabmeat linguine (in entree size) for my main. Good!!

Then the rest of the evening was spent lounging at Kudeta.


This cute Polkadot number (with a pink satin kimono inspired sash) I'm wearing is from The199Shop.

mmmmm.... lychee martini.....

Damn it! I dropped my lychee on the floor!

I absolutely loved my room (at Anantara, Seminyak). It had access to a private pool, so every morning I'd just slide the bedroom door open and I can slip right into the pool!
The white dresses I'm wearing in the pic above and the pic below are from ClubCouture.

The main pool at the hotel was a nice infinity pool but I didn't use it at all. If I had shitloads of money, I'd want to have a house with a small pool that's connected to my bedroom.
I had a nice break but it's really good to be back home. Poor baby Lola had to sleep alone in my bed for 3 nights.

Just cleared my email and some work. I'm freaking tired. Need Sleep.

Good night!

P/S- If I'm secretly pleased that I dropped a couple of kilos in the last month (without even trying to lose weight).... does it make me crazy? Weight is now 46Kgs. So at 1.65 m, I think my BMI is at an all time low. But I think it's just a phase, and I'll probably just put those Kilos right back on (just as magically as I lost it) in a few weeks.

Oh What A Tangled Web I Weave...

Hey ho... I'm off to Bali today... my cousin (and her BF and some others) from Perth are flying there to celebrate her 30th (!!!!) and I'm joining her there. Packed my ettuasis new summer colours make up (woot! not sold at counters yet.) and a few party pieces from clubcouture and gipsyscarlet ! (Will show u pics of the dresses etc soon). I will be back on Tuesday.
.
Yes, I am going with someone. Can't tell you who. No, not S, he's at the (half?) ironman in Abu Dhabi! And not my ex Mark, he has started to date again too.
.
.
The problem I am facing now is not in making a decision... but more of trying to move past the fear of making a wrong choice.
.
I just need a little time. I just wish that everyone would just be who they really are, and tell me the truth. Otherwise... how the hell am I supposed to know what's right or wrong for me? I don't really trust my intuition at the moment, it's been unreliable.
.
Maybe this short holiday break will clear my head, and feelings. Or maybe I will have to sit down and pen down the best and the worst outcomes for each situation to help weigh out the advantages/disadvantages.
.
Then again... Mark said to me the other day that I don't need to be stressing about this and that there's no rush. If I am not ready to make a decision, then I'm not ready. And whoever I am dating has to accept that. But I think it's unfair of me to do this to the men around me.
.
Don't men thrive on knowing their hierarchy? Like once they know their place in someone's life, they're happier? For instance, W is just a friend, X is the exclusive BF, Y is just the ex BF, and Z is the one I used to date but is just an aquaintence now. Then they co-exist better, and know their boundaries.
.
But I don't know who is right for me anymore.
.
Someone mentioned to me the other day that Librans (tht's my star sign) tend to be indecisive. You know, it's true. But to be fair, once they do make a decision, they'll dig their heels in and stick to it. So even though they're flirtatious and social creatures when single, they do settle down and are just as happy (if not happier) when contented and committed to just one partner.
.

P/S- I would appreciate your advice, but PLEASE don't give me lectures on how I should be happy with myself first and then everything will fall into place. I LOVE myself, more than you imagine possible. And I am perfectly ok just being on my own.
.
But that doesn't mean I should forgo having a meaningful relationship ok... or if I long for someone to share my life with, that doesn't mean I am not a complete person on my own. (what bullshit).
.
