Cute Lil Daisy

     Okay so not a real daisy but still cute, hey?  It's Marc Jacobs' Daisy eau de parfum spray that I recently fell in love with. Well, not the bottle but the scent, LOL.  The bottle is a bonus!

     Such a dainty lil thing for tomboy me, innit?! And I can just hear Gollum from Lord of the Rings going, "Myy precccccciiiiooooouuusssssss...." :D

A Mini Tour of Republic Polytechnic

     My sis is a 2nd year student at Republic Polytechnic.  It's about a 20-minute walk from our flat - though she still manages to be late for classes! It's the newest poly in Singapore and has been praised for its sleek designs. I've always been fascinated with architecture so had been hinting for her to give me a tour of the place but she never got it.  We finally made it sometime ago but, always better late than never, eh!  Oh we had a snack at the cafe there prior to our little tour.

 

  

     This sculpture in the middle of the man-made lake has always captivated my attention each time I came by. It rather reminded me of a teardrop and indeed my sis informed me that it is called thus!

 

     Just had to pose with it. What can I say, I'm a sentimentalist! 

     Enough of that. Let's begin the tour proper....

     A final pose and we've come to the end of our tour.  Awww...

Eye Popping!

     I was at the Changi Airport staff canteen on Saturday to send off my sis who was going to Brisbane on a school trip, lucky duck!  After a while, my attention was drawn to the noticeboard displaying Best Staff for the various months.

     One name stood out from the rest. I thought I was seeing things so I went closer and indeed my eyes had not deceived me. It was what I thought it was.

     The last word is obvious enough.  The first is the chap's name and the middle word literally means "son" in Malay. So put together, it says, "Helman, Son of Hitler". Gosh this is either a fake name he'd given his boses or his grandad was a mean SOB who named his dad Hitler! 

     Or maybe, he was totally ignorant of world events or at least who Hitler was! Though considering we were more concerned about the Japanese occupation in South East Asia than the Germans occupation of Europe - well not me exactly since I wasn't born yet at the time, but you know what I mean - that isn't too far fetched to believe, actually!  Poor lad though! Wonder how much ribbing he got growing up!

3am Indulgence...

     I was up after midnight since I'd dozed off earlier and what better way to spend the wee hours of the morning than start chatting with my online mates.

     Of course, once we start talking, things just get out of hand with mentions of New Moon, Chris Weitz's commentary, cake (pandan and otherwise - one of my friends has developed a pandan cake fetish, LOL), shoes etc. I eventually caved and despite the lateness of the hour, couldn't resist the temptation of putting this into my DVD player and being amused by Chris Weitz and the edtior, Peter someoneorrather. No offence Peter, I prefer listening to Chris. :D

     Now an indulgence of the wee hours surely can't be complete without some snacking.  I have some delicious ice cream in the fridge but all that cake talk gave me a moment of inspiration. Okay, so maybe not quite inspiration considering that I'd bought this a couple of days ago, LOL.

     It's the first time I tried this.  I was intrigued with a microwave baked cake so thought to give it a try but what timing! Sure fed my indulgent mood, LOL.

     It still required some work though. I still had to mix 1/4 water with this cake mix.

     It took me longer than I expected but I finally it as well-mixed as possible. You'll have to excuse my attempts at lining it with caramel. It was rather late and besides I have such bad fine motor skills, LOL.

     I was pleasantly surprised to see the final effects. It really looked like a properly baked cake! But darn it, I had to wait a whole FIVE minutes before I could indulge! Incidentally, that was the exact phrase used on the back of the box. "Wait five minutes before you indulge." LOL

My Very Own Personal Brand of Heroin...

     Those familiar with that line would know what I mean so chillax, there are no real drugs here.  I know I'm gonna be the envy of my Twilighter friends, especially those on TA ,with this, LOL.  But I just couldn't resist. I know they'll still love me!

     In case it's not clear enough....

     Yup, that's the DVD. It even came a few days earlier.  it was initially meant to be available on 20 March but I collected it a few hours ago.  I reckon I managed to get quite a few of my favourite promo shots on the DVD too! Totally wicked!

     No prize for guessing what is playing on my TV while I type up this post, LOL.

The Beginning of An Onslaught of The Eclipse

     Aaah... finally the day has arrived! The first trailer of the eagerly anticipated third instalment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, has just been released.  Funny how they managed to assuage our missing of our beloved characters while piquing our interest further in less than two minutes! I wish I could have glimpsed our Cullens but this is still outstanding! Is it June/July yet?!
