just a touch...

noticed how tech savvy people have become?

from passer-bys recording accidents on the street to
frighten passengers filming upset aunties in the train.

almost anything & everything lands on either Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
everyone i know is on 3G, 4G, 4GS or WiFi.
even aunties...

gone are the days when you leave, no one could contact you.
when sending a mail would cost 10cents.
entertainment came in a form of TV.
and music was free.

now everyone is a online celebrity.
you can literally do anything on the web and people will take notice.
from showing how to do your makeup to travelling the world.

and it's all done with just a touch...

moving on...

I'm... Back!
yes yes yes.
i've been away for too long and i don't care to share why.
all i know is that i'm back for good and am feeling a million times better.
who knew that so much can happen in 30 days or
for that matter 48hrs or even within the first 5 months of 2012!
but it did. thinks happen.
we live. we love.
now all i wanna do is take everything in.
and keep moving on...

i ain't no Fann Wong.

did anyone watch the STAR AWARDS?

seriously.

did you see the amount of Botoxs & Fillers on stage?!

don't get me wrong.

i am all cool for getting Botox and Fillers.

why?!

even i did it.

was a month ago when i was doing a feature story about

Men's Beauty Aesthetics.

u see, everyone wants to get them.

but very few will admit to them.

i just did them and i'm not denying it.

anyway... coming back to the AWARDS,

almost every single person on stage had their face pulled, injected or molded!

no laugh lines around the eye area.

no crack lines along the smile area.

no frown lines along the forehead area.

simply put, no lines whatsoever.

u see, mine still has some lines.

my doctor and i decided that my face should still look natural.

it's kinda weird, scary if the face is too flawless...

i ain't no Fann Wong.

i don't use SKII.

i only got my teeth straighten and face injected.

i just wanna look natural.

what say u?

the most common 3 word sentence is

I Love You.

but what about the other 3 word sentences?

you know, the ones that we hardly use or are afraid to say...

I Hate You.

Don't Let Go.

Pls Move In.

I Need Help.

You ARE Ugly.

I Am Wrong.

Leave Me Alone.

I Am Cheap.

Don't Call Me.

Pay Me Back.

Need My Space.

Marry Me Pls.

I Am Sorry.

Don't Facebook Me.

Go Screw Yourself.

think we need to improve our communication skills.

what say u?

its gonna get even better.

it has been an amazing start to 2012!

just when i thought my TV career was done,

2012 presented me with not 1, not 2, but 3 TV Shows!

to be part of 3 TV Shows just within the first 3 months of 2012!

that is truly a blessing.

it started with season 3 of SuperModel Me for KIX & Channel 5.

joining the show with my BFF, Lisa S as the Host was so much fun!

being part of the reality competition where i would just be myself,

'The Bitch' was even better!

styling the girls, judging them and deciding who continues or... NOT.

involved in only the first 4 episodes was worth it.

it was a blast!

next came Vasantham Express for Vasantham Channel.

returning for its 5th season, the producers invited me

to be part of the ensemble.

and i would be the 'Fashion Guru'...

going where no other Gurus have gone before.

playing producer for the fashion segment meant

introducing fashion's more commercial & mainstream side.

then there's STYLE ETC.

my baby.

my very own fashion program for MediaCorp's TOGGLE TV.

i'm still in the midst of production and will air soon.

besides producing, research and hosting it,

i am on cloud 9!

with all this, still i want more.

so i am getting ready for more.

why not?

3 months ago i didn't have any of these...

its gonna get even better.

:))

Fact Factor

i wanna play the Fact Factor.

Fact:

We are lazy.

Just too embarrass to admit it.

Fact:

Men are always horny.

They just lie about it.

Fact:

We make mistakes.

Unfortunately we just keep repeating them.

Fact:

Life is not short.

It's how you live it.

Fact:

Botox doesn't hurt.

You'll just be addicted to it.

Fact:

You can't choose who you'll fall in love with.

You can choose who you wanna sleep with.

Fact:

People will never stop you from being stupid.

Friends will join you in being stupid.

he is a Diva.

a friend passed away today.

he is in his 20s and his body was found on the beach.

the day before he was out with friends.

happy.

he was always looking towards a better life.

sometimes he went for it

and other times he was lazy about it.

but he always lived his life the way he wanted.

we have spent nights partying.

days eating.

afternoons rehearsing.

hours talking.

he is a Diva.

and a Great Diva too.

i will miss him.

i already do.

ignore them.

one of the best ways to feel lousy is by listening to others.

now seriously, why would u wanna do that?

i am gonna give u that best advise anyone has ever given u...

u see, there are over 6 billion people in the world

and only 1 u.

when people are talking bad about u, ignore them.

when others say that u aren't any better, ignore them.

when family make u think u are any less, ignore them.

everyone has an opinion.

and they always tend to pour it on u.

ignore them.

the 1 person who knows u better is U.

so never start disbelieving or discounting who u really are.

u are The Great U.

embrace that.

embrace who u are.

and all will be Great.

yesterday. today. tomorrow.

so you grow up, grow older, grow wiser...

you learn that you are never the same as yesterday.

yesterday i could party all week and go on the next day.

today, i need 48hrs just to recover from one nite out.

yesterday i wished i looked older, mature.

today, i wish people would shut up about my age.

yesterday i remember all my contact numbers by heart.

today, i am lost without my iPhone.

yesterday, being impatient was a way of life.

today, being patient lets you live longer.

yesterday, money made sense.

today, money makes sense.

Mm... screw yesterday and today.

i'm looking forward to tomorrow.

don't have kids

ever wonder why singaporeans speak bad english?

well, not all singaporeans but almost most.

you hear them everywhere.

neighbors. students. consultants. beauty queens.

the list goes on.

and i just found out Why.

it's the parents.

when kids are young, specially when they are toddlers,

parents talk to them in this 'cutezy' manner.

haven't you heard them speak?

''Oh! see the bird bird!''

''ger-ger, come come.''

''hot hot! slowly eat soup.''

''don't run run then you fall!''

''hug hug'' ''kiss kiss'' ''pee pee''

serious. serious. why the need to repeat to words?

and its worst when these kids mumble sentences.

they need to learn how to enunciate.

parents need to learn that how they talk, speak and interact

with their toddlers will result in how their babies will end up

speaking, behaving and interact in their grown lives.

so if you are a parent, please start now.

speak good english.

or don't have kids.

the choice is urs.

dehydrated.

doing what i do sometimes has its perks.

ok. fine. most of the t... ok. ALL THE TIME.

when i take on a project, my clients usually tend to pamper me.

whether it's at a cool cafe or a fancy restaurant, they pick the tab.

when its new product, i get to try them first.

and sometime i get to take them home.

from perfumes to shoes to 1 of a Kind... i am pampered.

within the last month, i have been "presented'' with,

a S$600 watch, 2 tailored shirts,

some hair products ( don't ask me why??? ),

more makeup products and a ring worth S$3600.

how blessed am i!?!

so imagine my shock today when i got to take home

a very large bottle of SKII Miracle Water to help hydrate my

very tired skin that has been working 3 days in a row.

wait. that wasn't the shock.

when my Series Director calls to tell me he lost his iPad2

while we were filming today.

wait. that is still not the shock.

me franticly emptying my tote bag to search for all the location

contacts we were in today.

no. the tote bag isn't it.

my very large bottle of SKII Miracle Water which was to help

hydrate my very tired skin broke.

and all the Miracle Water was splashed on my shirt

and was running down the floor tiles.

now u can react.

the horror of seeing the accident happen in front of me eye.

my personal items displayed as the world walks by. clueless.

the tragedy of standing still with everything exposed.

keys. wallet. my iPad2. lighter. my iPhone,

with my Director hanging on the line.

in moments like this all you can do is just take a deep breath

and wish you didn't answer the DAMN PHONE!

i held my head up.

picked my stuff up and went straight for the train.

dehydrated.

a trend of bad taste...

seriously... its not funny.

in just a matter of days i started seeing a trend.

a trend of bad taste,

hideous outfits

and godforsaken hair.

do people not have mirrors at home?

do their friends not tell them?

no?

well, i'm gonna do my bit and answer some common

fashiony questions anyone might have...

and pls feel free to share them with anyone YOU think might need them.

Q: when are Summer Shorts too short?

A: when your B@lls come out for air.

Q: when should i wear poka dots, stripes & neon colors in 1 complete outfit?

A: when are you the last person in a club or in a room of blind people with the lights turned off.

Q: what's the best way of maintaining my white loafers?

A: burn them.

Q: does Blue Mohawk hairstyle go with my duo print shirt at work?

A: only if you as a loan shark, pimp or Aunty Lucy having a makeover.

Q: is PRC fashion a trend to follow?

A: only if you have a return ticket to PRC.

glad to have helped.

sometimes...

sometimes we laugh to hide the pain.

sometimes we get lost on purpose.

sometimes we pretend to sleep so we never wake up.

sometimes we criticize first to be hurt last.

sometimes we have nothing else.

sometimes we fake so its easier.

sometimes we wish death for a better life.

sometimes we lie to hide the truth.

sometimes we take.

sometimes we stop listening to ourselves.

sometimes we deny better.

sometimes we run never to return.

sometimes we say we when its just Me.

Dress Up

i am a makeup artiste.

i am a choreographer.

i am a fashion stylist.

but i do not wear makeup, sashay or play dress up.

while the NOT wearing makeup or sashaying works fine,

the NOT dressing up does not go well with many people.

and by people i mean Strangers, Fans & Clients.

being in the Fashion field means one must always or at least keep

up with trends, style and appearance.

3 things i'm not into when i comes to myself.

i know that i can put together an amazing look

with limited wardrobe, money or time.

but when I have to do the same with myself, i become Lazy.

when it comes to dressing up i have 3 Rules.

#1: Where are you going?

#2: Why are you there?

#3: Who are you trying to impress?

these 3 Rules help you dress Good,

makes you look Better than the rest and

you honestly feel the Best about yourself.

ask any Bride.

but me...?

like i said, i am Lazy.

do i have to look the Part when i step out of the house

so that when people i don't know don't give me a second look?

or when Fans see me on the street and wonder if That is really me?

or the Clients i meet wonder if i am the Right one for the job?

truth is... Yes.

Yes when you don't want people

looking at you like you just got out of bed.

Yes when your Fans admire and respect your Style & Personality

when they see you on TV.

Yes when you want your Clients to take you seriously.

Dressing up is not necessarily for yourself.

it is sometimes in respect to others.

cos when you respect others, they will respect you in return.

so i am gonna start playing Dress Up.

i just hope the world is ready for it...

"Respect is not something you demand.

It is something you earn.'' Marcus AC

So Confusing...

Did u hear the Ministers are getting a Pay Cut?

What?!

Ministers are Paid to run the Country???

Does that mean Anyone can actually apply for the Job?

No?

U have to be Invited???

No Way?! Invited!?!!??

How does One get invited for a Job Application to run the Country?

High Education and Good Current Position?

So Looks and Command of English & Social Skills not necessary?

Does it mean that if We are Paying these Ministers, We can FIRE them?

Cannot?!!?!?

Got 5 yrs Contract?

Huh?!

So Confusing...

things to let go...

only day 2 of 2012 and i have made a list of things to let go.

*i do not know all 267 'Friends on Facebook',

so it means i need to be honest and let some 'Friends' go.

*i have put some weight around the tummy area,

and trust me, it does not look good on me.

that definitely needs to go.

*i have been sitting on my ass for most part of 2011,

meaning i was too lazy waiting for things happen.

so my ass needs to go.

*i need to be sensitive to people.

Servers. PRCs. Strangers. Relatives.

my attitude needs to go.

what else?

my SingTel contract.

my moldy leather jacket.

my empty bank account.

my dead air-con.

my white hair.

shit!

the list keeps going on and on and on and on...

the 2011 discovery list

1 more day to 2012 and i am actually looking forward to it!

was 2011 better or worse than last year?

i don't know... i think on an average it was better.

but i did discover these...

*Singaporeans are not SHY about anything, they just don't Share.

*Foreign Talents are not necessarily Talented.

*No one has enough Money, especially the Rich.

*Standard of Living has Gone Up but Incomes has Done Down.

*Competition is Good. Even in Politics.

*There's an Excuse for Everything.

*Social Media is kinda Biased.

*Everyone has a Use for You. You just need to learn not to be Used.

*Not everyone likes where they are. Literally.

and the Kids today are our Future tomorrow. Scary.

what did u discover in 2011?

whatever

the last 11 months have been flashing pass me recently.

maybe its because we are at the end of another year.

but do you realize the older you get the faster everything goes?!

wasn't it like just yesterday u were in school?

then it was the first party?

no more sneaking in & out of the house.

now we can do just about anything cos we're OLD enough...

OLD enough.

that sounds Sad and Scary at the same time.

whatever happened to Growing Up Gracefully?

taking your time.

where did my 20s go?!

someone said once u did 21, Life is gonna Run by u.

wait.

am i having a Mid Life Crisis?

i'm only 42. too young for MLC!

what's next?

heat flash? am i gonna put on weight? hair lost?

i already started losing hair years ago...

ahhh whatever.

i am looking forward to my Peak.

and so should U.

don't let the bitches run your life.

its your race.

run it the way u want.

Jokes 2011

there has been a number of Jokes in 2011.

apparently with the world's economy going down in 2012,

i say why not.

one of my favorite is Kim Kardashian's wedding, marriage and divorce.

and that only took 3months of 2011.

i actually enjoy watching ''Keeping Up With The Kardashians''.

its the most staged, planted, surreal Reality TV ever.

it beats SURVIVOR.

but the whole ''Kim & Kris'' really takes the ( wedding ) cake!

and with a name like KARDASHIANS,

they do sound like a race of their own...

then on closer shores... its our SMRT.

Seriously... MRT?

we all understand a breakdown.

but 4 within 48hrs is a bit Dramatic.

and when reasons started flying that's when it became really funny.

''Possibly due to increased Population, the Tracks could have been overworked...''

since when did Singapore increase in Population?

last i checked, people were still too busy trying to get into the train

to rush home to make babies...

just because we have more PRC PRs doesn't mean the Singaporean Population has increased.

finally on the Social Media...

Jon Bon Jovi death hoax.

Mm... Jon who?
