the holy grail of bags

With USD 148,000, you could buy a BMW Z4 Coupe. But with USD 148,000, you would buy the Hermes Birkin in Croc Prosus Lisse, wouldn't you? (:

Dreams, Dreams, Dreams. Dreams of 10 carats of diamonds, set on a white gold lock, on a body of exotic crocodile! But I guess, till we become stuck-up snobs who can afford to give up buying a BMW Z4 Coupe and splurge on one of the world's most extravagant handbags, maybe we'll just play make-believe and be happy seeing it on my facebook profile page (:

wii gone wild

last night we went for a futile search for duck porridge and fried wantons. they said there was no more duck meat and fried wantons so i settled for chicken and hargow instead. i scolded kenny for sending me politically-incorrect photos we took in j1 (2004! which he uploaded because of his emoness hurhur); vince asked me if i was stressed, because he said i was giggly and that's what stress does to people. i think we should play some wii again.

how to wear killer heels without killing yourself

No, this isn't turning into a shoe blog.
But here's two from Giambattista Valli, Fall 2008 (:
Heels that would make me 174 cm tall!

bad girls don't wear flats

Christian Louboutin for Rodarte! (:

so fierce and nasty! such empowerment! can you not imagine wearing them? in the office, in the clubs! but then again, would these even be legal in singapore?

November 1968

Stripped
you're beginning to float free
up through the smoke of brushfires
and incinerators
the unleafed branches won't hold you
nor the radar aerials

You're what the autumn knew would happen
after the last collapse
of primary color
once the last absolutes were torn to pieces
you could begin

How you broke open, what sheathed you
until this moment
I know nothing about it
my ignorance of you amazes me
now that I watch you
starting to give yourself away
to the wind

— Adrienne Rich

PUBLIC LAW ASSIGNMENT IS O-V-E-RRR! (:

goodbye to close to a month worth of camping out in school! lcs client letter, equity assignment and then public law! i amaze myself even, at how long-winded i am when writing essays. and how i managed to almost half my essay from a grand total of 6284 words to 3499 words.

oh and, random legal trivia from wikipedia — during yong pung how's first speech in 1990, at the opening of the legal year, he announced the abolition of the traditional wigs worn by judges and laywers. imagine us wearing those white curly (presumably smelly) things! during moots! hehh.

you're on top of the world

love, whatever you're having grand illusions about, i've dreamt and wondered about, last may. look at where i am now, this is where you'll be. this is where those before us have all been, and this is where the rest of them and you will be, in time to come. well, then i guess in no time, we'll be on the same side of the line. cheers, love!

swadeekaa phadthai tomyum chatuchak tuktuk !

so erm, about one month ago, on a bright and sunny thursday, we dragged our suitcases to school and after public law lecture, hopped on a plane and flewww to BANGKOKKK, baby! :)

4 destitute people (1 headless) and 1 handsome cigarette peddler sitting on suitcases waiting for risse's dad outside his apartment at ploenchit.





at suan lum where the ferris wheel had already been torn down :/ only photos of charlene because the lovebirds were sourcing for furniture for their lovenest and mok was wandering making friends with gay thai dudes. and i forgot to bring them to that nice coffee place in suan lum.




the next day, we woke up bright and early and ended up at siam paragon. got excited seeing the club21 bazaar sale (got red carpet somemore heh) and bought too many pairs of bras and shoes (: i think after siam paragon we headed to pratunum but expectedly, there are no photos because no one takes photos when they are struggling with 3248202 shopping bags.






that night, we went to chinaaatowwn for dinner it was the most gratifying meal we had in a goddamn long time. sharksfin, fishmaw, giant prawns, steamed fish, kangkong, sotong, tomyum! (: impossibly shiok after that (except for charlene the glutton who ate waaay too much lah).







and then we hopped off to sirocco for drinks and a wonderful view on the 63rd floor of silom state tower! spectacular view of the chao praya river and the blinking lights of bangkok city (: oh and where we had to hold on to our wine glasses to prevent them from toppling.





the next morning we went to chatuchak, which i believe is the hottest, most humid and most crowded place in southeast asia. again, not much photos because there were too many cheap useless things to buy and too much street food (bacon sausage rolls, chinchow with brown sugar, charsiew, gyoza!) to eat.





to prevent ourselves from melting in the heat, we sought shelter in the shopping malls. chueie bought more ridiculous shoes (never even see you wear at all since we came back) and bras. and risse & jgan kinda disappeared (the truth is, i can't remember where you went). and me and mok went to central world to shop but erm, ended up lazing at starbucks that ubiquitous green mermaid was everywhere and we were addicted to green tea frappes :/ and we realised that studying at starbucks is a global phenomenon. oh and we went to collect mok's suits from pinky (yes that's the tailor's name).





that night, we headed to RCA where we drank johnny walker that was too cheap, danced with damn oldskool rnb/hiphop songs (complete with mtv!), gawked at the band in the female toilet at route 66, and used an armchair to cover up jgan's puke (yes O_o). went back and the domestic goddesses cooked/microwaved supper.





that's all folks (: I WANT TO GO ON HOLIDAYYYY.

sorry for wasting your time

you remember those threadless tees that said "they lied to us. this was supposed to be the future"?

you remember we said we would go to bintan, laze by the infinity pool soak up some sun and sip some cocktails? well, obviously, we were lying to ourselves. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR MIDSEM BREAK.

and so now, not only do we not have robotic companions, no hydrogen fueled automobiles, we also don't have the gloriously tanned skin nor the luxury of lying on white deckchairs nor an occasion to read frivolous chick-lit or the opportunity to oogle at scantily-clad beach hunks/babes.

all we have is the stuffy study room on a saturday night, 300 more words to cut for the equity assignment, and erm, mok and kwek next to me, less than scantily-clad. fabulous.

mok, thanks for the uplifting reminder to all of us. let's go eat.
