Had dreams of a luscious burger that was place right in front of my face
but i wasn’t allowed to touch it
just look
at the crisp salad
slightly greasy medium rare meat
and melting bits of cheese at the side
Woke up at 4am
but was too tired to actually get out of bed
to relieve that hunger
How much do you know of dyslexia?
I happen to know slightly more than before only because i’ve encountered a couple of friends who are dyslexic.
It doesn’t mean they’re any less intelligent, on the contrary!
They just have some difficulty in reading and spelling,
but their mind whirs just as fast or faster than some people i know!
Even though more and more people are exposed to the learning disabilities dyslexia involves,
there are still many out there, parents especially,
who need to understand if and when their child is dyslexic.
The Gift of Learning aims to provide free remedial education for dyslexic children,
so do click on the link to learn more about the condition and how you can contribute as a consumer.
There’s this new app on Facebook called Your Potato Head Friends
which i’ve been fiddling around with!
You know, it’s one of those useless fun things you just can’t stop playing with once you start.
I was even late for dinner cos i lost track of time trying to make a nice one of Claudia -_-
There’s all these different glasses, facial hair and accessories to throw on.
You can even resize and rotate directly on the app so it’s looks JUST NICE
Make funny faces of your friends too by visiting
the Jack ‘N Jill’s Potato Heads FB page
and clicking ‘Your Potato Head Friends’ on the left sidebar.
After mucho experimentation, the best way to do make a nice Potato Friend is to choose a picture from your friend’s FB, and save it to pc to upload.
Yes. I played around with it that much!

A new TVC from Jack ‘N Jill has just been released,
watch the Director’s Cut below!
I managed to edit some pictures but am way too tired to continue posting right now.
Didn’t even have lunch today cos i was that busy!
And subsequently missed the LV party that i wanted to go for *boohoo*
See these now, come back laterz.
Initially i had no intention of doing a party of any sort.
Then Claudia said we should do a girlie birthday mad hatters tea party.
I thought there were two problems with this:
1. i have guy friends too… takkan just have girls?
2. tea party in a tea place = no alcohol. There’s no such thing as a Joyce Party without alcohol. No way.
So i hijacked her enthusiasm and made it into a polka dot partyย
I didn’t want any fuss… cos i did enough work at Clem’s party,
just wanted a simple drinking thing at dLegends pub with all our alco kaki friends.
Between Clouds and i, we know hundreds of people…
but we decided to keep it small (like a wedding haha) to close friends who DRINK.
On our FB invite, we implored friends to come in polka dots
and Claudia threatened to bring her Sharpie on to them if not.
People were calling me day before and day of party: “Hey… i really don’t have anything in polka dots, how? Is Claudia going to DRAW ON ME?!”
and Big Ben was vainly saying: “Of all the patterns… you have to pick the most unflattering one!”
I semangatly painted polka dots on my face with Buncho,
then did Claudia.
You know, it amazes me how one of the birthday girls herself doesn’t adhere to the theme at her own party
In Claudia’s defense, she stuck dot stickers on her bra (pls don’t ask me about this) and was wearing a tiny polka dot top at first, then pulled on this top i gave her instead.
Fai, Apsy, me
Fai is a banker (zzzz)
Aps is a kindergarten teacher (WEE!)
Az + Reza
Reza’s present was SO NICELY WRAPPED i didn’t open it till the next night…
When he arrived, i was already halfway drunk and started shrieking “Oh my god! It’s Reza Salleh! Thanks for coming to my party!! *turns to person next to me* DO YOU KNOW REZA SALLEH? HE’S A SINGER!”
I always embarrass him like this (and possibly myself too but i’m immune to that).
The last time i did it was at the MTV Asia Awards and Sarah had to physically cover my mouth.
Dhanya giving me my present.
Ok. I admit at that point, i had no idea what it was and was pretending to know.
Btw Dhanya is going to be a SUPERSTAR soon!
She’s already a star in my heart,
but she’ll be performing in a major thingy i can’t say what yetย
Justin gave Clouds and i accessories from his collection heeeeee
Tianna, Dhanya and me
Tianna gave me a French lesson CD in hip hop and rap.
Clem was very happy with it.
Our faces are like that cos we were forced to say ‘cheebai!’ while taking the shot.
I think it was Kubhaer who made us do it.
me, Yatin, Michael – these are Clouds’ friends and we ended up talking about things i don’t remember…
Wasted – Deep, Danny, Byron
Tianna + Dhanya
My mouse
Don’t you just love Claudia’s face.
It’s when she’s having a cute thought in her head.
Clouds blows candles so… delicately and girlie.
Tak sangka.
And me… i look like a puffer fish.ย
I didn’t even get a picture with so many others who came…
Gobi, Rita and Hon Seng…
Cammy + Kenny, Serena + Matt…
and so many more……………….
Oops! Had too much fun to play photographer at own partyย
The one birthday note that made me roll on the sofa laughing:
I’m From Barcelona always gets me skippy happy clappy
wishing i was out playing in the sun
in Europe for the summer festivals
and not caught in the storms here every day! Well i can’t have it all (but i can jolly well try!)
Ah just click it and play while reading this post okay.
I find it amusing how they name their band I’m From Barcelona,
initially deceiving me that they’re from one of my favourite top three cities in the world.
Band’s actually from Sweden, and Stockholm is ironically one of the next cities i really reallyyyyy want to go tooooo.
Anyway enough daydreaming for now.
Been insanely busy past few weeks.
I even woke up in a panic middle of last night!
It’s like (as usual) all these bits i dabble in decided to clash into one big mountain this week – blog advertorials x4, wardrobe styling, Leftblock stuff, freelance consultation, presentation at agency, playing as SalahWrong for Hanger party.
So here’s a fashion post as a filler first.
Would love to blog about my polka dot party but i have no time -_-
mesh top; baci
grey pleated skirt; sevendays
sunnies; marc jacobs
bag + shoes; b&l
Just discovered today that a rat/cockroach/squirrel has made my favourite B&L platforms *their* favourite chew toy!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It’s not just that the shoes are quite new and leather,
but i love them, i do, i do!
Excuse to get new… shoes… *looking on the bright side*ย
In time, What Women Want plans to carry interesting labels from the world over to satiate all you clotheshorses in Singapore!
I think it sounds like a very dangerous event.
Dangerous because we’ll end up spending lotsa ka-ching!
But in return for neverending happiness, why not :p
If you’re in Singapore, do join their FB page *here* as you’ll need to tell them your sizes to ensure availability!
