I conclude my stint at the museum for children's season today after a very tiring 2 weeks of herding them little sheeplings. My distaste towards having children myself haven't changed much.. I find it quite amusing that I sometimes catch myself (unconsciously) thinking about the schools I would send my own kids to (make that galilee or del-care kindergarden), the clothes they will wear, the languages they will speak, and how I would bring them up. The only thing I couldn't imagine was how children of my own would look like lol.

I feel, I'm generally too impatient for children. It doesnt take more than a few
times of saying "Come, children" before I got
tired of it and often escape to the storeroom to busy myself with other administrations. It is also tiresome to have to repeat lessons and stories. And I simply cannot stand a kid who talks too smart too much, it's just not cute. Small things are supposed to be cute aren't they ? My attempts to child speak was met with scornful laughter and "Don't be silly, there is no such thing". Still, I supposed I managed them okay. "If I don't see a single file, nobody gets to play." works quite well. Now if there was one thing Karen was very right about, it's not giving them an option because more often than not they simply reply with a cheeky "don't want" and run off. One lesson I learnt the hard way.

Should I be surprise that the hardest part of the job was not the children. It was the dreadful parents. Not to categorize but especially the "elitist race" who push and argue their way through with a finger in your face. Really, what terror would their children grow up to be like I can't imagine.

If I ever had kids, just saying..
- The family will have english breakfasts every morning, and a must every Sunday together.
- I'll never home school my kids.
- I would like my children to socialize with kids from different countries, cultures and race.
- Children pick up language easily so I'll want them to be well exposed.
- I'll let them play, fall down, cry, and learn to pick themselves up.
- ??

Anyway enough about the chickadees. I feel weird now talking about kids.
I'm spending a nice quiet Wednesday night with Shawn at home after a grueling day of work.

Happy 5th. Very happy 5th :)

(no subject)	[Jul. 10th, 2011\|05:21 am]
About 6 hours away from my flight to Phuket for a honeymoon holiday with Shawn.. and I'm barely done packing yikes ! Really excited about the trip, all the unnecessary jitters are way past me now. So much so we've totally forgotten to do all the crucial things like photocopying our passports or printing out our reservations and tickets. We'll be flying with Sam Chao and his girlfriend, and another random couple whom I've not met but it's more or less on our own once we touch down. The first thing I'm gonna do tonight is to hit the weekend market in Patong. I know Phuket isnt the best place to shop but with me around, anything is a possible buy. Just look at today, day zero of the trip and I've bought us a new underwater camera and a whole stash of sale loots from topshop just for the trip. Hopefully I'll be able to find some little local jangles around the towns. And the next few days will be spent riding waves, skipping about in bikinis and maybe, maybe the bungee. It's gonna be a fantastic energy packed romantic trip, I can feel it in my bones. In a scene setting right by the majestic oceans, nothing else could be better at this very moment.

Flo Rida	[Jun. 17th, 2011\|05:33 am]
So here's what happened last wednesday ! Flo Rida - Live in Singapore at Wavehouse Sentosa First pic credit to Reiee. Dinner at White Dog Cafe with Reiee and Shawn. The pasta was awesome, love it ! VIP access with the girls to Flo Rida's concert at Wavehouse Sentosa ! Thanks to my agent who invited us (: We seriously thought we were late when we arrived at 8.30 to a 8pm party but all the way to 10pm they kept saying "Flo Rida's STILL on his way". The crowd turnout was surprisingly smaller than I had expected despite the tickets being sold out. Perhaps the venue was a little cosy (and way too warm) that's why. They served champange and started the show with DJ Andrew T and hot dancers on stage to rev up the excitement in the crowd while we wandered about and chatted among our friends. Boyfriend, being super sweet as usual :) Our first concert together. Both of us have NEVER been to a concert before haha. The tickets are usually always so expensive, (Flo Rida's show prices starts at $88 I think, although seriously anyone on the beach can still hear and watch him for free) I rather spend the money on shopping. Yes I know, I'm in almost every single picture whenever I'm holding the camera. There were so many other cameras around so I saved myself the trouble. Or rather I saved Shawn the trouble okay because he was our "part-time photographer" busy snapping photos for the girls hahaha. He even ran through the crowd for me to take pictures of Flo-Rida as he crowd-surfed lol. (Yes one more self indulgent picture of myself) Watching Flo-Rida up close from the bar. He was pretty awesome. We were like within 2 metres from his hot sweaty body. Stripping down to his jeans, he threw his clothes and every single towel he used to wipe his sweat to the crowd. He even threw away his shoes, making the crowd go crazzzzzy haha. It was fun being in the atmosphere ! Choco's boyfriend knew the bartender so we had like free flow all night long while watching the concert, over the top fantastic ! Was feeling quite sick so I skipped Butter like a bad girl and went for supper with Alex Tai instead at my favourite prawn mee stall. Okay bye, damn shagged from my first day of super fun work at the Beerfest. Gotta be at a Mini Cooper event in 12 hours time and I need my ZZ.

Inserts.	[Jun. 15th, 2011\|04:06 am]
It's true that my blog has been anything but the life lately. I've been spending most of my days over at the boyfriend's until I have absolutely have to come home again to grab new change of clothes or just to save my ears from the incessant threats from my mother. Yesterday, I woke up with a flu out of nowhere. At a very unfortunate time too because I'm slotted for intense work at the upcoming Beerfest and a Mini Cooper event for the rest of this week. I'm almost desperate to get well, popping pills as and when I chance upon any around the house. My ears have been ringing from working at the Formula Drift racetrack and my new found love for making smoothies in a loud blender every morning. Life has pretty much been mundane career-wise, cash going as quickly as they had come and I'm about to plunge myself into the full force of fashion again (hopefully) with a full time job. I have a nagging feeling at the back of my head that this paragraph alone contains more grammatical errors than optimism but I'm keeping my head high about waters anyhow.

This is how I've been wearing my hair everywhere. It's my new favourite hairstyle and I like how it's fuss free and it shows my entire face. Plus, I still have the "I'm in love" glow lol since Shawn and I just only turned 3 months old last week so it's a good way to show it off ! I guess time passes extra extra extra slowly when it's real fun you're having :) And every single minute is well spent, and well remembered.

I must be the luckiest girl in the entire world and I mean it because I've got the best boyfriend who gives in to my silly whims and fancies, even though it's not something he particularly like very much, he still puts my happiness first and I'm thankful in a million ways for this perfect man of a boyfriend. Today, Shawn drove me out to ecp and we rented bikes to cycle along the coastline. I think I was really really quite happy, because I've been wanting to cycle for the longest time and nothing beats cycling along a path where you have a clear view of the big blue ocean meeting the gray skies. I love the sea, and I like the idea of lovers by the sea, yes it sounds hopelessly romantic but I am hopeless molten anyway when I'm with him sigh. Just the other day we shopped till we're the last and only customers in the store and we watched 5 hours worth of movies back to back at the cinema till 4 in the morning, that was so fun too ! (:

He completes me, he spoils me, and he make me feel like I'm his queen. I can't quite describe the special feelings he stirs up inside of me but it sure sends a shiver down from the tip of my nose to the end of my tail and make me purr in complete satisfaction and joy.

I love you Shawn Ting. You're the best. Never doubt that.

Insufficiency	[May. 17th, 2011\|01:16 am]
Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through. -Ira Glass Via (In)Decrorous Taste

Field shoot.	[May. 13th, 2011\|04:32 am]
Some favourites from a field series I did with Greg. The weather was fickle and we presented ourselves as a buffet feast for the mosqitoes but we continued to shoot the entire morning moving from location to location, and believe or not, found ourselves lost among the lalang before ending up at the jetty to wrap things up. Our work paid off well though, among compliments we received multitudes of messages and emails asking for the location of the shoot. To our amusement, in the weeks that followed, suddenly everybody had a field series in their portfolio too. I struggle not to be sacarstic and say "How Creative ! " (Okay I said it.) But of course we take it as a compliment in good nature haha. After all, to each his own and despite having more or less the same backdrop, everyone had their own idea of how a "field shoot" should be. Also, I was also rather excited about discovering a giant pink jellyfish floating by the the sea that morning.

Baby talk.	[May. 13th, 2011\|03:42 am]
I've been living in an extremely material world for quite awhile now. Maybe way too long, so much so I've gotten quite sick of it. Even my dress sense irritates me. It took not more than a couple of alternative tracks, a magazine, a missing bright idea (which went away quite promptly after I stopped day-dreaming) and the "I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY LIFE RIGHT NOW" realization to shake me up before I become... shudders ...one of them. Right now, I need to go out and buy myself a new sketchbook and some pens because the inner artist in me has finally decided to come out after hibernating for the longest, grossest time. And I still want to pierce something, although the boyfriend objects violently. Nipple, or tongue ? ;) I mean, since I barely have boobs, I might as well channel some Freja Beha mhm ? After all she was the face for Harry Winston for awhile. What's not to love about that, too. I'm half kidding, not really. Anyway, I'll update somemore in abit.

Blessing meets Nova	[Apr. 26th, 2011\|07:06 pm]
Yesterday, Blessing and I popped in for quick lunch at the Castle Low to meet Nova. They were really adorable together, although Blessing quickly got tired from jingling his fats about. Bernard made his special eggs, by boiling them in way too much oil but nevertheless, fragrant. There wasnt much of a save about the oil part except to throw in more eggs ! Anyway, Blessing probably never played so much with another dog his size in his entire life before so Im sure they had lots of fun seeing how they even squeezed in a quickie just before we left for the vet :X

It isn't often that I get mind fucked by "what is reality" and be affected by it. I don't like reality very much. But I guess it's different when it concerns the future of someone you love. If there was ever a reason why I would slog it out in a workfield of monotony and political shit, it would only be because the job serves its sole purpose of feeding the family food and material happiness. It's very sad but I see why now we live in a world where money buys "happiness", and reality superceeds everything else. We're literally purchasing happiness for our loved ones, and feeding off their smiles for our own. That keeps us alive. I'm sadly no longer the hard headed bitch who only cares for her own contentement. Either age changed it, or I've been mind fucked. Really mind fucked.

Graduating levels.	[Apr. 25th, 2011\|05:46 am]
Gabe graduated ! I'm really happy for him that life in the hellhole is officially over. Went down with Shawn to congratulate Gabe on his achievement at Vivo. We had quick dinner at The Queen & Mangosteen, not very fulfilling or friendly on the pocket for the mere morsel of food served, BUT coincidentally the place Gabe and I had our first dinner date. --- I went down to Butter as usual on Wednesday after work to catch up with the cousin and his cool new blue hair colour. Had mine dyed back to the striking red I was more famous for at a recent Goldwell hairshow, but that is another story I'll tell if I've the time to do a post on hair matters. Anyway, I met Ed by chance at the 1847 bar I was working at (also another story I'll need to tell soon) and we decided to meet up at Butter to have a few drinks and a dance. The girls were there as usual so was Dave and Andy at the table but I did Butter my own way and moved through the crowds until a shower of ice cubes and a random fight spoilt my night. Shawn was really sweet to come and pick me up from Butter at 2.30 am, although he couldn't stay long with me because he needed to rush home to continue studying for his exams through the wee hours. On a random note, I'm wearing the red faux leather jacket Shawn bought for me in the picture. It was the first present he gave me when we were dating back then and I LOVE it. Perfect for all the late nights out when it get chilly. Not that I'm ever afraid of the cold but it keeps me company when Shawn's busy with his schoolwork and he can't meet me. I miss him like crrrazy ): Gah, look at the date when this picture was taken. So long ago ! I can't wait for the boyfriend to finish his exams so that we can do our couple things again and go out for a nice meal instead of me having to cook like a housewife.

Butter revamped.	[Apr. 13th, 2011\|07:21 pm]
Shawn wanted to club ONE LAST TIME before his exams so we headed down to Butter Factory. I was supposed to meet up with some friends but there was a last minute medical emergency one of my girls had to attend to so it was just us with the usual butter crowd. There was SO MANY GIRLS :/ Clarabel came down from work and join us till butter closed. Went all the way home again to drive the car out to fetch the girls for breakfast at Mackers before we finally slept at 5+am, yawns. I loved my dress ! The colour is PERFECT. It's from http://kizzofgoddess.livejournal.com/ and it comes in 3 colours so watch out for it in their upcoming collections ! Photos by John Seah. Bangle from Forever21. Isn't cheap :x but I got persuaded to buy this beauty cuz the 3 times I saw it, 3 times I fell in love with it. Met Ray, Brandon and their friends at Butter too ! So the Bomb Squad Kittens (BSK) at Butter asked to take a picture with me ! It was really random, one moment I was dancing with Shawn and the next moment I was surrounded by these hot girls. They gave me some sort of coupon to keep and told me to watch their blogspace. I finally found out why, there's some sort of voting competition going on and apparently myself and 4 other friends can win a bottle and butter guestlist if my photo gets the highest votes. Gasp I'm going to be one of those girls on fb who tags everyone to vote for her lol. :x But well hey, a bottle from my favourite club wouldn't hurt I guess. So, here is the link. http://www.thebutterfactory.com/2011/04/08/vote-friends-of-the-bomb-squad-kittens/ ( Don't laugh, they got my name wrong :/ ) To vote for me, leave a comment with your name & email address. E.G #8 – SHARMI TAN <Your Name> <Your Email Address> Okay enough talk go vote now ! --- On a happy side note, the boyfriend taught me how to shuffle yesterday hahaha. It was quite a laugh cuz I was wearing stockings and sliding/jumping/spinning/running all over his living room seemed apt. Usually I would go like "Whuuuuuattttttt shuffling ?!" but I've never been able to get the running man right since 3 years ago when I first learnt it in secondary school lol so of course I was happy to have finally gotten the kick of things. My new goal now is to shuffle in heels. And look cooler than the idiots with the lightsticks at the clubs yuck.

Midnight Sweet Nothings #50.	[Apr. 6th, 2011\|01:19 am]
Midnight Sweet Nothings was the result of the shy mysterious side of Shawn.. in an attempt to woe me HAHA. It started 50 days ago when he decided that he would email me one thing he liked about me every single night from that day onwards because I was being so cynical about love. I remembered telling him that it would take at least 300 emails to convince me why I should believe in love, or him..but I guess, he proved me wrong. I usually don't fall for such mushy things but the whole content of his emails were really..sincere and soulful. I really appreciate the fact he took time to tell me everything from the inside out that he was feeling, or thinking of. Even if it was like tiniest pettiest things, he would write it down and share them with me. It kinda presented me with a clear and transparent view of what Shawn Ting is like..which I pretty much enjoyed because I never really liked to judge a person on the surface (unless you catch me on a bitchy day). And with Shawn, I'll never have to double guess. Which saves me alot of brain power. Anyway, we got hitched at #17 (Ultimate fail on my part about the 300 emails Ikr) but he still continued to email me diligently every night. Each one makes me smile so you can say for sure Shawn Ting makes me smile EVERYDAY without fail. Not many boyfriends can achieve that, and definitely not a busy boyfriend who spends 90 % of his time studying for exams (but I still love you ^^). And I miss you too boyfriend, hurry get over exam period. The ice cream waffles are calling us !!!

Behind the scenes: Beauty makeover shoot for KATE	[Apr. 5th, 2011\|03:23 pm]
So comes early Monday morning at 9 am, Seventeen magazine invited me down to do a shoot for their makeover page ! For this shoot, they are gonna be featuring the cosmetic brand KATE. They flew in a professional Japanese makeup guru the night before just for the 4 hour shoot (I didn't catch his name, will update when it comes out in the magazine), and I think I learnt quite a bit from him though he could only speak basic english. Plus my makeup skills quite basic haha so definitely new techniques picked up ! I can somehow never get the right gradient when I do my own makeup, it's so amazing how he makes pastel colours look so good on my lids ! Lining my eyes with dark purple eye shadow, MINIMUM eye liner and MAXIMUM mascara. I need to learn this properly !! Always cheating by simply using lots of eyeliner and smudging it out with black eyeshadow lol. The mascara was a bitch to take off though. Small price to pay for good stuff :/ I wonder if my eyelashes will one day all fall out eeks. The original outfit was a sexy formal jumpsuit with a slit right down to my belly button LOL I had to pin and spare what little puppies I had the shame hahaha. When the stylist was done with curling my hair, everyone though it looked wayyyyy too formal for a spread in Seventeen magazine so... I wore my own dress in the end ! (: Bought it from CottonOn for a retro party I had to attend at a real steal. The poor hairstylist had to change up my hair style again to make me look younger. But she did a great job nonetheless. Taking a picture with the MUA ! He was really nice and so polite. Camwhoring in the cab on the way to lunch with the boyfriend. I really think the hair + shades + dress made me look like some retro chic tai tai haha ! All I need in the picture is a cup of tea..or a Mini Cooper :D Clearer shot of the makeup. Okay ciao !

Objects of desire.	[Mar. 26th, 2011\|03:19 am]
FENDI x Aranda/Lasch present ‘Modern Primitives’ Text by Motilo The Italian prestige fashion house FENDI has collaborated with New York based architects Aranda/Lasch on a conceptual design project which is to be displayed in a traveling exhibition throughout US stores. The initiative, named ‘Modern Primitives’, was first showcased at last years Venice Biennial before being further edited and seen again at the Miami Design event in December. Now the collective is set to be witnessed by a larger audience as it travels throughout FENDI stores within the United States. Using 3D ‘building blocks’, customers and staff alike can create their own sculptures and subsequent fabric designs to be used in limited edition bags, as well as textile items such as geometrically pieced hand-made throws. Based around one central pyramid like object, the structural exploration sees different forms and outcomes morph from this basic exercise in geometrical craftsmanship. From literal, physical block-like representations of the idea to demonstrate thought process, to more tangential interpretations taking place in various printed patterns and fabric cutting techniques. Visitors to the exhibition can participate via featured iPads fixed to the walls. By first understanding the fundamental rules of this particular ‘building-block type’ formula, they can reinterpret designs in their own way and see them recreated in large 3D format by the staff in front of them. By embracing such a digital initiative as this, Fendi are not only making their brand consumer interactive and all importantly modern – they are embracing the motto set by them all those years ago: “FENDI is a creativity factory that supports talent without boundaries.” Silvia Venturini Fendi, FENDI Accessories Creative Director. X How can one resist glitter ? Normally I would kill for a sexy pair of shiny Louboutins but ever since I've heard about Toms dipping their shoes in fairydust, these glitzy darlings might just end up on the shoe rack in time to come beside an imaginary pair of Lou, in sparkly gold too no less.

I have no where else to let loose these unsettled nerves of mine. 7 days, and I'm feeling more than fragile than ever. I thought love was supposed to make you strong keep you warm but as each day goes past, there isn't one day that goes past without a doubt if this was all real. Perhaps it's too early to tell, and maybe I'm still jaded about the whole concept of it all. I've lived frivolously, and now I live in fear of a mere tomorrow. Behind every careless laughter or seemingly stupid motion, I watch you. The flicker in your eyes, the darker of your pupil, the flash of an impish thought and the questions behind it. Your batted breaths, the inconspicuous sigh, the riddles in your head that I can read but not solve. 4.25 am, like a bloodhound you sense my troubled spirit.

I always knew it would be magical, but I never would have guessed it would be this special. In fact, I wasn't even expecting anything to happen, I thought I was too cynical to even think about it twice. I'm glad we're together. I can't remember the last time I was truly happy with someone else. It has been almost 2 years ago since I felt close to being genuinely happy and I'm just so glad to be able to feel my own heart beating again. Mine against his.

Life as a drifter.	[Feb. 28th, 2011\|06:06 am]
Yes I am still very much alive and kicking. I went up on a bike trip to Batu Pulat in Msia with a convoy of bikers called the Samirians. It was really fun because the whole trip was an eye-opener with tasty food and rustic views. I learnt how convoys travelled on the roads and all the signals they used. I met Justyn's grandmom who stayed there, she was an awesome painter and she had the loveliest dogs. We went to the seaside where we had to fight with flies for our food. There was this road that we took back to JB at night, (I'll call it the Pineapple road cuz it was right beside the pineapple plantations) that was a serious highway to hell I've probably never been so scared for my own life before bumping in and out of giant potholes and nearly falling into a death pit by an inch if Justyn didn't swerve off thank god, all the time as blind as a bat because my visor was tinted and I still had shades under and the only lights along the malaysian roads were from the cars coming towards you. But still, it was an adventure that I very much enjoyed, I ate likka pig. Worth all the butt-aches and I still miss the food. THIS IS THE LIFE. An afternoon couldn't get any better with mayorship of Aldo, sushi and starbucks. Believe it or not.. When we were babies, we slept in the same sarong. It is rather strange we're dating after donkey years of not talking to each other at cny lunches back at the house where we grew up together but I guess, anything can happen ! All it takes is a pink dress and nice hair HAHA. Kidding kidding, it was facebook and foursquare. If not for foursquare check-ins, another year would go by with us never knowing each other's name despite seeing each other every year. It was still extremely stressful but I finally got persuaded to have late lunch with Justyn, and then dinner with Shawn followed by MHB supper with the gang. Valentine's Day wasn't so bad after all I guess. Shawn bought me some exorbitant bouquet off the street despite my protesting to which Blessing was more excited about when I gave it to him at the end of the day. Worked for Chingay this year where we were bodypainted by Shawn Akira. Loved my costume though I've not much of an idea what I am really. Matthew's 20th birthday surprise at 15 Minutes cafe. Took in Roger's husky, Alistar for boarding as his wife just gave birth. While she got along well with the dogs, she took one too many nips at us and when my mom and I got injured, I had to get Teresa who was more experienced with huskies to board her instead. So Alistar's now staying with Dom and Tiffy... and Blessing's just happy to be able to sit beside me at home without constantly getting chased away by the jealous girl haha. Frosty. I took out my extensions and had my hair cut in JB. Just gonna let it grow grow grow for now.

Frankly speaking, I wish we could skip this year's Valentine's day so I don't have to brace myself for an onslaught of invitations only to reject them. I sound so...pompous but really, I meant it when I said I don't want to be involved in relationships and complicated feelings this year. So far, I'm doing good and I'm surprisingly happier, alone. Great now I sound like an emokid92 /wrists gg.

Happy Chinese New Year	[Feb. 6th, 2011\|06:27 pm]
You know what I love about you guys. That we can talk about road trips and having adventures without a blink, that we can travel the distance across mainland and arrive more awake than ever, that we can do stupid things yet not feel stupid, that 3 am is just as good as 3 pm, that talking actually becomes noise because too many of us make sense, that there are disrupt emotions and wind in your hair. Maybe the Chinese was right.

On a Capricorn woman.	[Jan. 31st, 2011\|02:38 am]
Lately I've been reading star signs and their characteristics and I can safely say it's usually accurate 90% of the time (the other 10% being your own blend of individuality). So I thought I would put together some (definitely not all or else there goes the fun) of the things I've read about the Capricorn woman, which is my sign. This should be quite interesting if you find my personality hard to decode. Much like the shrouded Saturn, a Capricorn woman is most often reserved and mind-numbingly mystifying. Born between 22nd December and 19th January, she is the type who can actually say a lot of things without revealing an inkling about herself, leaving you hankering for more. Saturn influences her enough to shine as an extremely organized and responsible individual. In short, a Capricorn woman has no set definition. Controlled is a very apt word to describe Capricorns. In control of their emotions, their actions and their course in life, their sign is the embodiment of “calm, cool and collected”. They need that control because they are a walking contradiction. Deep underneath that cool veneer is a warm and tender woman. It simmers just beneath her surface but feels no need to show itself unless there is a damn good reason to. High standards are something she has in spades so it will take more than cutesy creativity to see beneath that exterior. Her sheer audacity is what captivated you. Her actions are laced with a bold power that is so calm and natural you are in awe. A Capricorn woman can just simply be present and everyone around her stands at attention. Whether it is professional or personal, she commands the room by just breathing. People want to know her and what makes her tick. I am proud of you from seeing past her commonly perceived “ice queen” veneer. She does have a passion that burns but its exertion is cool and controlled. Recognizing this within her is one step closer to proving your worth and securing her attentions. A Capricorn woman is a modest person who may not seem very easy to approach in the beginning. She is rather cautious in her demeanor. She may have few but intimate friends with whom she shares a great rapport. She would not appear to be very talkative and would only speak when necessary. She may be very quiet at one moment and equally witty at another, so you need to be on your toes always to match the pace of her ever changing moods. A Capricorn woman loves wit and humor. Capricorn women are known to love stimulating and interesting conversations. A Capricorn woman can be fiercely independent and if you are a traditional man, you may find it a bit hard to woo her affectionately, as she wants to be in charge of everything including you. At times the Capricorn woman can also get traditional but is discrete about it. Though she is not selfish, she has certain ways of taking care of things in order to get harmony and maintain a balance in her life. Capricorn women expect to be valued and treated in high esteem. So make her feel loved and wanted by showering her with surprises, things that she really requires, and wants and gifts that will genuinely interest her. Be sensible when you get her a gift, specially if you are dating her for the first time. Also remember that you cannot buy her love with gifts that are too flashy. Respect her independence and never crush her leadership qualities as this is what makes her desirable. Capricorn women adore fine arts like theater, art galleries, museums, fancy restaurants and jazz clubs. So if you want to impress your Capricorn woman, take her out on a date to these places and who knows these trips may help you win bonus points. Capricorn woman adores a man who respects his health and body. Practice patience when you are dating this lovely lady as she is passionately caring, responsible, loyal and mysterious and expects the same strong ideals from her man also. She loves the feeling of security so men in love with a Capricorn woman would surely need to think about it! She would display all her love and passion once she feels secure she has met the right man in her life. This headstrong woman believes in relationships that are for keeps and would prefer to build a strong foundation of love. To be completely honest, you might lose faith before you get anywhere with her. You may go through a period of time where you feel you have exhausted all your resources. Her sign is notorious for having walls as high as the Sears Tower and fortified like Ft. Knox. This woman has all the patience in the world and isn’t afraid to use it. She doesn’t need a partner but eventually she will want one. The secret to making her want is to simply be the warmth that melts her ice. There is no rushing seduction and there is no margin for error. Slow and steady wins you this race for her heart. The best relationships with a Capricorn are those that stem from a natural progression. Capri can cuddle up to you and seek your protection to keep out the traumas of the real world or she may just stare at you coldly, almost challenging you to melt her frigid heart in the most intelligent way possible. Whatever maybe the case, Capricorn woman characteristics renders her eagle eyes to choose a man who is potent enough to provide her with a life of economic stability, has good career prospects and also, the best father material in the world. It would be rather incorrect to call the Capricorn dame unromantic or philistine. She is deeply fond of music and very much enjoys profound strains of poetry. Its just that she has no appreciation for a poet who is starving to death. All in all, she finds poverty and financial instability extremely unattractive and works vigorously to eliminate all signs of it. In other words, she believes in fairy tales only when she knows that her own palace has a strong realistic foundation. She doesn't believe in creativity that doesn't yield any tangible results. Capricorns are always calculating and planning. Once she starts doing little things for you she is probably beginning to think of ways to seduce you. By now you have seen her some of her warmth and you want more. Meet her halfway with a little bit of confidence. Coy yet sincere flirting, in private, will get you where you want to go. Be creative. Being able to smile at something only the two of you would know racks up plenty of brownie points in your favor. It is also not wise to overtly flatter the female goat as she knows her true abilities and never overestimates it. She can therefore sense insincere compliments coming her way and is usually turned off by dishonesty. Just because she may try to seduce you or respond to your advances does not mean you off the hook. Of course be yourself (better have been this entire time) but understand at any time before you get official status confirmation, you can be tossed aside. You will know when she trusts in you and feels secure. While it may seem as if the heavens open up and angels start to sing, you will feel the shift in your relationship. When you get a chance to look back, you will see its natural progression and feel a rightful sense of achievement. One of the many benefits to being with a Capricorn woman is their greatest secret. The phase “a lady in the streets but a freak between the sheets” definitely applies to them. All her seriousness and calm exterior gets left at the bedroom door. When that door closes, she all about play time with you. Capricorns are so sexual that the thought alone could arouse them. She is very mischievous and adventurous in bed. She adores the feeling and emotions that come with passionate and intimate sex. You will get to benefit from her adoration. There is something delicious in the power of “I know something you don’t know”. The Capricorn woman harnesses that power every day. She doesn’t feel the need to advertise her worth; she understands she is a gift. She understands that she is worth all the things she tries so hard to obtain and so much more. She likes having her lives separate. Her personal relationships are her reward for the hard work she puts into her professional life, something just for her. She is just as cautious and devoted in her personal relationships as she is her professional, making sure that each are the best they can be. Just don’t give up on her. She may take her time but once she gets there the rewards are priceless. Interestingly I was born on a cusp so there's apparently some of Sagittarius blood in me too (though very little) . Still, the above information should give any hopeful man or friend a better chance if you haven't already lost it.

If I can't give you my heart, I'll give you my shoes.	[Jan. 19th, 2011\|12:36 am]
Shoes I don't wear often (or never even worn before) ; they are still in brand new / great condition and I'm considering selling them away to make space for new ones. Everything fits size 37/38, except for the blue and purple peeptop Pedro pumps & the knee length suede boots which would fit a size 39 better. Heel height ranges from 2" to 5". If you're interested in purchasing any of them, do drop me an email at wildxbrilliant@hotmail.com or leave a comment below with your queries.

Brandon's sexy 20th !	[Jan. 11th, 2011\|05:12 am]
My BFF sure know how to live up a party ! Brandon's 20th pool party was dope dope dope ! We had a wonderful location to party, and his grandmom whipped up a delectable spread for all the guests. We were there early to help prep the place and fill it with party balloons and deco, the entire place looked amazing. Thank God for perfect weather. While waiting for others to arrive, we had fun by ourselves in the playgrounds and the swimming pool, floating on giant floats. The Diva's party never complete without special talents! Professionals in their field of hair and makeup, they ensured Brandon looked glam + They were very nice to offer help me blow my hair and touch-up my make up from playing in the pool, its like super special BFF treatment :D ! Although later in the night, I was thrown back into the pool to put the makeup to the test under water, lol. Played all sort of silly games while drinking lightly with everyone and our version of Silent Library had us choking with laughter.Very good company ^^ Such a merry merry time meeting new people and having so much fun from the time the sun set to night fall. I love my friends and I love my BFF for hosting such a fantabulous party ! PS: Oh dear I think I made a grammatical err in the caption above, its 5 am now just pretend you don't see it !

Christmassy	[Jan. 6th, 2011\|03:11 am]
More Christmas Updates ! On Christmas Eve, we lounged around Dennis's place making our own pizzas, taking polaroids and opening Christmas presents from Reiee and Josh. After Dennis left for duty, we had nothing to do so we brought Max to my place to play with Blessing. The fur monsters were so adorable dressed up in Christmas deco. I cooked a simple Japanese fare for us, blasted cheesy Christmas music to put us in the mood, and dug out my ancient chinese checkers set where we spent almost an hour concentrating on little coloured pegs till Dennis came back just in time for Christmas. A really quiet Christmas this year but I was glad I spent it with the dogs too, it was just really sweet. I died on Christmas day itself eating SO MUCH meat. Black Light Party for Tiger Crystal Event Bar on 5 @ Mandarin Orchard Hotel We were invited by Reiee's friend, Nicole Chen who DJ for the night for the launch party. Before the event we had our hair done up at Gary's again, I loved how he styled my hair !! Party was nicely done up in a fancy place but there wasn't much to do so we left for Butter Fac soon after we finished exploring the hotel.
