2008 is already here !

Its interesting when you think about how its already 2008 in a various parts of the world like Hong Kong, Australia, Tokyo, India etc. Yet here we are in America still waiting for the next year to arrive and some will see it first on the east coast while others like myself on the west coast get to see it 3 hours later! My resolution is simple to keep making more efforts to live in a cleaner environment, by making some positive changes in my own life as well as try to influence and inspire others.

I've made many small efforts in my home such as changing all the toilet paper/paper towels to recycled paper. (Yes, they are available in your local supermarkets). I bring my own canvas bags to markets when i shop, I don't use plastic bags anymore. I keep a recycle bin in my office for any paper used. Recycle bottles etc. I disconnect a few things in my home that aren't in use and more. Like I said, its simple and anyone can do this. I wish you all much success and a healthy and HAPPY 2008! This awesome image is from the MSNBC website, people officially celebrating 2008 in India. So pretty!

***UPDATE- It is only a few hours until 2008 and I am headed out to a friend's house party. I was just watching the NEW YORK city countdown on CNN with Anderson Cooper. I have such a CRUSH on him I admit it. But then again, who doesn't it ?



He's adorable, and his reports are always super interesting + I heard he lives in a super cool top floor apartment in NY that has an outdoor jacuzzi on the roof. Nice! Anyhow, I had someone take this quick pic, we thought it would be funny to send into CNN, so we did. Hopefully he'll see it and get a laugh out of it. Gotta go - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Weber NYC

What a nice break so far. With all the Holiday parties I attended I feel quite relaxed. However now we are heading into a whole new year 2008. Time flies. I remember exactly where I was when 2000 came and went. Now its 8 yrs later! I feel great these days and its a huge satisfaction to come across people who inspire and enrich your life. One person who inspires me and many others (I'm sure) is photographer Michael Weber. He resides in New York City and has been one of my favorite photographers. His work is breathtaking and that is why so many publications have featured his photos. Here are some residential interior images, wow!  Take a look at his amazing website for more. Michael Weber.  * FOR NOW HAVE A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR 2008 !!!!

I BROKE MY FINGERNAIL!!!

Bimbo enough or not!!!

I had on these super long acrylic nails that were super hard, and Mike tossed me on the bed (he insist that I clarify he was not being violent but just fun-loving) and I had my hands underneath me, so the nail was bent inwards and since it was so hard, it didn't break at the white part, but cracked neatly down the middle of the PINK part!!!

Damn fucking painful la!!!

Mike kept apologizing and telling me it's not a permanent damage because he had his own fingernails torn off before numerous times...

Eh, apparently he worked at this factory or something where he had to carry super heavy cardboard boxes and whenever his grip slipped and the boxes dropped, his whole fingernails would come right off.

NASTY!!!!

Damn gross la!!!

So anyway, I cut off the acrylic tips and so now, I still have two parts of a fingernail on my nail bed!!!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!

What's going to happen? Is the top pink nail part going to eventually grow out and drop out?

How come when a nail grows out it gets STUCK to your nail bed until it decides not to, and becomes white? When a fingernail gets completely torn out, how does the nail bed that's normally covered feel like?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU PUT A PIECE OF SCOTCHTAPE ON TOP OF THE PLUSHY PINK FLESH WHILE THE NAIL GROWS OUT?? Then the pink part will be very small??

It's all very confusing to me!!!

Anyway, it's freezing cold here in Dallas!! It was minus zero last night!!! It seems inconceivable to me how heat can escape so damn fast.... I've haven't felt hot in 3 weeks lor! Well except when I shower.

But it's really nice that for a change, there are COMPLETELY ZERO insects (feels almost orgasmic to not have cockroaches and lizards - fucking hate them), and chips don't go soft after half an hour of being left open.

I'm coming back to Singapore on the 2nd though!

I'm gonna eat... Ding tai feng's crab roe xiao long baos, and sambal kangkong... lots of veggies (my shit's very hard here coz people don't eat so much fibre), and also crates and crates of Heaven and Earth Gui Hua tea (OSMANTHUS!! Or however it is spelt!!) and Pokka Green tea!!

I also bought a shitload of sleeping pills and appetite suppressants!! Need to get prescriptions for those in Singapore... Woooo!!!

I AM GOING TO BE A SKINNY SKINNY BLOGGER!! I'm gonna be SO skinny, instead of calling me, "You know, Xiaxue, the rude/short/controversial/funny blogger", I'd be known as That Skinny Blogger. AWESOME!

I'm super going to miss US shopping lor!! Things are really cheap here (in Texas - apparently in NYC it's damn ex. Stupid), especially considering the quality and trendiness of stuff... For example, I bought a pair of chunky Steve Madden heels that's fuckkkkkkkking chio on 80% discount... $12 USD!! ($16.80 Sing)

Unfortunately they only came in size 7 and above, so I bought a pair for Shuyin and a size 7 one for me (normally I wear 4/5). I don't care if it's damn big lor I'm going to stuff tissue at the front! Well if I can't wear them I'd give them to a delighted Qihua.

In fact, I bought so much stuff that I had to buy an extra suitcase for them!! The "extra suitcase" is SATIN PINK WITH BROWN POLKA DOTS... for $29.90 USD! Freaking cheap lor for such a chio suitcase!

I can't care if nobody cares about my shopping, this is my blog and I wanna record my thoughts and my thoughts right now is about shopping! Well, besides the OTHER thought which is a sense of resentment towards irritating blog readers.

People are fucking annoying lor, people are constantly telling me that I am not as interesting anymore - which would only serve to make me very wary and obviously even less interesting.

So, I've decided I'd stop reading/allowing comments until I feel like my blog readers are all nice and approving people again! Sounds good? Yeah? Yeah??! I did think so!

Back to shopping! I spent maybe a grand total of like 6 hours (over 3 days) scouring through the SALE section of Forever 21, where all the summer clothes were piled, unwanted and unloved, into discount racks - $2.99 and up, $3.99 and up, $7.99 and up.

I had so much clothes in my arms that I had to toss them on the floor while I search for more!! The very sad thing is, the sucky Forever 21 in Singapore is CONSTANTLY sold out on SMALL and XS sizes, so sometimes I end up buying Mediums and wearing them loose... AND I SAW THE CLOTHES I BOUGHT IN SINGAPORE, SIZE S, SELLING FOR $3.99!! Super angry lor!!

In US, the least popular size is S! Bu hui happy!

If you are the Singapore Forever 21 owner, CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE IN MORE S SIZES AND NOT SO MANY OF Ls??! For goodness sake! You can't do this to your loyal customers! You make us see a nice design, and then we fucking can't wear it! What's your problem!!? (Also if you could sponsor me clothes, I'd be happy to wear them on this blog for you. *winks* :D)

I'm going to take photos of all my shopping when I reach home, and hao lian in them in minute detailS to everyone. MUAHAHAHA!!!

Ok I shall end this boring blog entry now and go watch US TV. Cable here is awesome! They are showing this show called A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila.

It's apparently this show about Tila Tequila, the most popular Myspace user, and her quest to find love.

But this is not your usual Bachelorette show... BECAUSE TILA IS BISEXUAL!!

Get to see lesbian action on TV lor! I don't think it'd be approved on Singapore TV, EVER.

But I just like the show coz Tila wears the chioest slutty clothes!! And I don't get how Tila can get blonde hair as an Asian (she's Vietnamese and stayed in Singapore till she was 1!) and still look so good! (although sometimes I think she looks like an alien).

Oh well. Love ya all!!! BYYEEE!

Holiday Feast

I was at a Christmas party last night (my boyfriend's company party) and there was so much food! I started to snap pictures to post on my blog and I got strange looks from people who were wondering what I was doing. So, I explained that it was for my blog and that readers like to see these sort of shots. They found it interesting. At the party I tried to curb my eating a bit, sticking mostly to veggies & potatoes and of course a teeny slice of coconut cake, as you can see in the picture above with the cute BLUEBERRY accents!

Many of us LOVE to eat a lot during the Holidays and then we end up regretting it in the early part of the NEW YEAR, so I didn't want to do that. I mean I have a STATIONERY SHOW to attend in May and I have to look my best! LOL I'd like to wish you all a HAPPY HOLIDAY AND A HEALTHY NEW YEAR! A BIG thanks to the cooks behind the party! * Please remember to Recycle and start making those small changes in your home to reduce the environmental effects.
