Fiercenya Victoria Beckham

This should have been the September Cover, Elle.
Tsk, tsk.
The red nails have totally inspired me to turn my back on my black nails.

Mary Kate and Ashley's coffee table book Influence

Although some of the stuff they wear are questionable, I still think that they have natural talent for fashion like no other young stars.
Any fashionista worth her salt knows that this book is a must-have piece of display at home.

Visiting my kampung's icon

Two Sundays ago, Erika and I went to Batu Caves.
(Erika is from Toronto and is staying with me for the next one year. She's hot and single)
The last time I was there, climbing up the stairs was not too big of a deal. You know you are old when you have to tell yourself just one more, step, one more.

September is the coolest month because...

...it's my birth month.
I always feel special because all self-respecting fashion magazines in the world,
particularly my favourite Vogue and Elle come out in
bumper issue to celebrate my birthday.
I started buying Vogue as young as 13, dreaming that one day I would be
the editor-in-chief of a magazine.
The closest I got was being the sub-editor and later, editor of my schools' yearbooks.
Oh well.

Speaking of the September issue, I wonder if Vogue's "The September Issue",
the behind-the-scene movie of the making of the fashion bible will be shown here.
It would be so cool to watch Anna Wintour, the real Devil Wears Prada
on the big screen.

BTW, love the Elle Sept's issue as well but do they really have to use
Jennifer Aniston on the cover?
Would have not bought the magazine, had it not for the other
great content.
It's obvious that I belong to Team Angelina.

SATC 2 Carrie's Look - Yay or Nay?

Hmm.
The first look is ok.
Second is passable.
Third is horrible.
I know we are still in recession but
it's Carrie for Manolo Blahnik's sake!
Thou shall never look bad.
Ever.

Kakak is getting a day off

Soon our kakaks will have a day's leave in a week and the right to keep their passports on them.
Wow. I can hear all the tai-tai and aunties screaming yau mou kow chor ah!? (Transl: WTF!)
Not sure if maids from other countries are given this right.
The Filipino maids have been enjoying that for years
and that's why cheapos and slave drivers
prefer to hire Indonesian maids.
Still, don't think the slave drivers will abide to the new ruling.
The sights of the poor maids watching after the spoiled rotten brats
while the useless parents enjoying their meals at some fancy restaurants
on Sundays will remain.
Trust that.

I'm 33, not 3

The cow did it.

Since today is my hari kebesaran, I thought I should not think about the poor cow's head. To die for some rendang that was sold probably at Section 23, Shah Alam was already sad enough, but adding more salt to the rendang, the head was paraded and kicked around to insult another religion.

But our super intelligent minister said:

"They, the organisers, who are sitting left and right of me, didn’t even know that somebody was going to bring the head of the cow during that demonstration.” he said.

In that case, shouldn't they asked the people who brought the head to go play far-far away?


Then the very clever minister said:

He added that the residents only wanted their voices to be heard but it was unfortunate that “the publicity they received was negative because it was linked with racial and religious sentiments.”

Who were the ones threatening blood spill?
Who were the ones shouting ALLAH HUAKBAR?
Who were the ones screaming about the Malays tercabar?

The cow did it.

So I turned 33, right?

This must be the calmest birthday I've had.
Ok, not true. I had a blast last Friday at Finnegan's Hartamas.
Thanks for the memories!
