OMG!

OMG! so much happened in just one week.

been busy with 3 events that's literally back to back.
the TRIBECA Fashion Show, where models were 40mins late!
CROCS Candy Collection Tour, 3 malls in 3 hours!
& SHAPE Magazine Workshop with CROCS & Lo Real, with 60 women!
this is the kind of crazy busy i like and yet it's all... OMG!

then there's Miss Vasantham 2011.
i'm having so much fun! speaking in Tamil AND for TV is so... OMG!
taking my seat as a resident judge on such an iconic show is truly a blessing.
and the response has been overwhelming,
even if the comments on Facebook is a tad harsh and uncalled for.

and there's all this news about the general election!
who to vote for. who not to vote for. blah blah blah.
i have to say so far the PAP having been putting up a good show.
guess we'll have to really listen to what the Opposition have to say... possible OMG.

then there are the random stuff.
tried the No.1 Famous Nasi Briyani at Dunlop St.
did laundry twice in a day.
started a new FB page.
cut myself while shaving my head.
someone said i looked 20kg heavier on TV.

and i missed this week's GLEE... OMG!

i am sorry.

sometimes we take things for granted.
family. work. god. relationship. etc.
but its usually friends that we take for granted.
i know i do.

recently a friend of mine tagged me on a picture on facebook.
it was a silly picture actually,
he sent his 'seasons' greeting with that picture
and i simply untagged.

i went further by making unpleasant remarks.
remarks about him and how 'fake' he was by associating himself to these festivals,
knowing that everyone of his friends would see these remarks.

little that i know that he would take it badly.
he deleted me from his facebook.

my immediate reaction was i did nothing wrong.
i was being honest, at least about my feelings.
but then i realized sometimes when we act on how we feel,
we hurt others. we hurt friends.
and i didn't want to do that.

i should have been honest but not publicly where it would
hurt or embarrass him.

you see, whatever he did was him acting on how he felt
about himself and that didn't hurt anyone.
if anything, he has always been a good friend.
sometimes even a great friend. supportive, encouraging and sincere.

i am sorry.
sorry that i took his friendship for granted.
took him for granted.

taste

so it Fashion Season!
from Men's Fashion Week to Fashion Season on Orchard,
Audi Fashion Festive and the newly announced Women's Fashion Week
at the end the year it looks like Singapore is the
new fashion capital in asia.

but then again, Singapore is always trying to be one up
in the world so guess Fashion is a good way to go.

so then why we getting it so bad?

at MFW, the guests were dressed to outshine everyone.
i'm not kidding!
boys in leather skirts!

at the opening of Ashley Isham's new concept boutique at the OC,
leopard prints were worn from head to toe by Tai Tais & 1 ''SuperStylist''.
seriously, LEOPARD PRINTS. HEAD to TOE.

reality show SMM2 had 12models in Adidas sports' wear
playing rugby as their 1st photo shoot challenge in episode 1.
sports tank top and bottom is not fashion. its basic.

so what is the rule when it comes to Fashion?
apparently, the No.1 rule is there's no rules in Fashion.
but there is such a thing as TASTE.

now, whether it's in good taste or bad taste,
that's another question for Fashion.

p.s. i wear shorts & tees to meetings so don't start with me.

mirror at home

so we all experience Singapore's 1st MEN'S FASHION Week.
i had the honor (free tickets actually) of attending some of the shows,
but to my surprise the fashion show i witnessed before the runway show
was just as jaw dropping or maybe even more than some labels featured.

there were leopard prints suits,
leather skirts and clutch,
red coats and boots,
multi layered tops,
sequins and blings.
and these were just what the Guys were wearing!!!

my friends suggested a ''Post Show'' TV show that i thought was a brilliant idea!

are we lacking in Style & Fashion in the men's department?
Mm... only if it's to say "WHAT NOT TO WEAR!"

where do they get these inspiration from?
i read Men's Fashion Magazines that these looks are NOT there!
why, even the High Fashion Female Magazines don't!
so where are they from?!

truth is... i don't know.
maybe i'm not as Fashion Forward as i think.
or maybe these guys don't have a mirror at home.
