I stayed in most of the weekend cos i was still sick
Spent Saturday afternoon in bed watching 1st season of Weeds
and toying around with my new fuchsia Black Bird Fly,
a Twins Lens Reflex (TLR) cam which produces photos with a vintage look even by using regular film.
Read more about it here.

I’m calling it Lola
I don’t know why
It just strikes me as a Lola
So Lola it is 

After not using a mechanical camera for soooo long
i took some time loading the film in
“It’s this way,” showed TigerJoe, trying to take it from me
“NooOooOooooo i wanna do it! Go away!” i whined like a kid

“What are you doing? Are you sure you know what you’re taking?”
“Yes…”
“No you don’t.”
“Yes i do. And even if i don’t and the picture fucks up, i’ll just pretend it’s MEANT to be that way and artistic. Haha.”

Regular retail price is USD120 worldwide; RM460 at Basheer Books in BB Plaza.
Interested, email adrian@theclickshop.net.
The pink one is RM65 more tho, cos it’s a limited edition one with 2,000 pieces made.

If you think it’s too expensive,
or you’d like to try your hand at winning it,
you could join their Snap & Strip contest.

No, you don’t have to literally strip.

I miss it so much i want to cry!

     

I was going to write a post about how i have a love/hate relationship with my trainer at the gym.

But that has got overshadowed by my measly dinner that i took away from Secret Recipe.
After craving lasagne all day,
working out at the gym,
and trying not to waste time cos i have to work at home,
i tapaued it from Secret Recipe in SS2,
thinking, “Okay. The place is totally empty but Secret Recipe can’t be that bad right?”

I came home, opened the container and started shrieking to my brother how PUNY the portion was!

“Look at it! What kinda fucking portion is this?! They call this lasagne!?”
“… It looks incomplete.”
“HELL IT IS! I’m calling them right now to complain!”

It’s not like i’m going to drive all the way back there to shove it in their face.
And i’m just so tired and ANNOYED that the food i was anticipating is less than half past six!
So i just pacified myself by calling the number on the receipt, complaining – “I just have to say, that your portions are absolutely miserable, i can’t believe you call that a portion, i feel really cheated, and i can assure you i will never return to your restaurant again!” – and blogging about it angrily while bitterly eating it.

That’ll teach me to buy from an empty restaurant next time.

UGH!

MARAH!!!!

I went for the Harper’s BAZAAR “Fashion in Focus” photography exhibition launch last week @ The Gardens
So glad i went
cos i had heaps of fun
and almost didn’t go
cos i was bogged down with work
and thought i’d arrive late

Camelia, Oli, me

Sergio Rossi + Zara

Reena + me

Hani + me

I had (key word = had) planned to stay for 2 hours max
I ended up going home 4 hours later

This is what happens when you get too much wine + interesting conversation

One of the more interesting ones i had was at the main entrance
holding our glasses of wine
talking about love and whether the person he married was The One
Is there a One?
Is it all the TV we watch?
And all the books we read?
Or are we jaded from believing it,
because it’s so hard to come by?


Jonathan Cheng in middle

SmallSerena + i

I took a paparazzo shot of Harper’s fashion director Kenneth Goh
At one point i was rummaging through my bag to look for something
and placed things on the table without thinking

Sonny picked up one of the items and went, “What is this?!”

It was a tube of glitter i’d bought for myself and carried around
after that whole glitter episode
and forgot all about it 

But you know what?

You can’t keep the gays away from glitter. 

Some went, “Ooh…” so i poured a bit on to the table.

And from the table, some ended up on faces.

See, people love glitter!

You just gotta bring it out when they’re all tipsy and ready to play with it!

I met Natasha Kraal, Harper’s Editor-in-Chief

I thought i was having a decent conversation with her
(as decent as i could in that state)
till SmallSerena came up to us and totally broke my cover by telling her that i’s a fan

The exhibition will be running till 19th June 2009,
so go look see when you’re in Gardens!

Last Sunday:

“I feel so productive today!”
“…why? All we did today was eat and watch shows.”
“Cos i joined the gym!”
“Joyce. There is a difference between joining the gym, and going to the gym.”
“Well, joining the gym is a step towards going to the gym! Step 1 was ‘deciding to join the gym’, Step 2 was ‘attempting to go near gym to sign up’, Step 3 is ‘signing up’ and Step 4 is going!”
“-_-“
Today, i completed Step 4 

I changed my first training session to 4pm
after deciding that 12pm may be a bit too ambitious for me after UOX last night

At 3:30pm, TigerJoe and i were about to leave Palate Palette
(where Steve Aoki and the Cobrasnake were, to sell merchandise and meet fans)
“Are you ready for they gym? ”
“Oh snore.”
“Don’t be a brat.”
“I’m nottttt. Gym is so snore!”

He dropped me off at True Fitness
“I feel like you’re dropping me off at school  I don’t wanna go to school!!!”
“Ok baby, be good. Have fun. Listen to your teacher. Don’t fight with the other kids.”
“SNORE!”

I met my personal trainer Dino, and first thing we did was sort out what my goals were
They’re very simple – i just want to be more toned.
I don’t care about losing weight cos i’m damn skinny already,
I just feel i want to increase my energy levels and be more HEALTHY so to speak
>.<

Dino asked all these questions regarding my lifestyle including,
“How much do you drink?”
“Er…”
“Once a week? Once a month?” his pen poised over the form, ready to note it down
“… Every other day? I’d say 4 times a week,” I tried not to sound as guilty as i felt

“Any injuries?”
“Just an ankle that got sprained last year.”
“How did you sprain it?”
“High heels.”
“…” he suppressed a smile as he wrote it down.
I can’t believe he wrote down ‘high heels’ under my injury list -_-

On the treadmill, i honestly told him how i hate the treadmill
He asked me to just shut up and run
(okay la, he didn’t say shut up :p)
Then he said i run with my feet placed in front of each other, which was kinda weird

Later on as we were walking to other machines, he went, “Oh, now i know. You run like how you walk. In a straight line.”
I felt really cheesy that he’s implying as if i’m running on a catwalk.
-_-
So much for being on the track team in school.
All goes down the drain once heels came into the picture.

The rest of the workout consisted of him testing my endurance and strength.

Oh my god, i wanted to stop so bad when he made me use a machine to strengthen my back and shoulder muscles.
They’re so weak!
Super cannot make it dot com slash fail.

Later on, i told TigerJoe my body fat percentage which they measured using a machine that’s 99.9% accurate.
All i had to do was stand barefeet on it and use both hands to hold two electromagnetic thingamajigs
(have no idea what it’s called la)

“So what is it?”
“My body fat percentage is 24%”
“Wow! That’s really good! I’m surprised… seeing all the crap you eat all the time, like all that pork fat yesterday.”
“Pork fat gooooodddddd! Anyway i’m giving myself a goal to lower it by 6%”
“No, 6% is too much, i think by 3% would be just nice for you. I can’t believe you’re 24%. I thought you’d be like, 30%”
“Hmph.”

Anyhoo, i feel so accomplished after today ha ha.

Let’s hope i keep this up
