Very ‘important’ school presentation. CHECK. Avril Lavigne’s review. CHECK. Doctor’s appointment. CHECK. I’m back! I haven’t been surfing blogs, or watching Project Runway. Oh man, I’ve so much to catch up too! Not to mention, my exam is just around the corner (well, not for the next couple of weeks) and I need to hit the books soon. My ‘new’ full-time job is robbing 60% of my time. Life is short, I can’t go on like this *whines* But, I enjoy blogging and nothing can stop me *dances*

So, I was at the Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Tour on Sunday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium with Lil’ Miss Burpy (who wants to remain anonymous). I wrote a review on the gig for channelnewsasia.com and you can read it here. Yes, I’m shamelessly promoting my own work. LOL. Here are some snapshots from that night:

We arrived on-time. The stadium was only half-full.

Here’s my humble ticket. It says “complimentary”. Just to prove I didn’t pay for it.

That’s lil’ miss burpy. She’s too shy to be featured here. I didn’t take outfit photo. I was wearing my H&M blazer, Threadless tee, and Zara mini skirt with grey tights and Chuck Taylors. Yeah, that was my Avril look for the night.

Glo-sticks, baby!

Fighting with our light-sabers! The fans behind us are a cheeky, loud bunch.

Fans and their pink skull & crossed-bones flag. I want one. LOL.

After an 80-min painful wait, Avril Lavigne kicked off the night with Girlfriend.

The super closet-fan dad with both arms in the air. Your dirty secret’s outtt!

OMFG. A pink piano. Bling microphone. I WANT. LOL.

No elaborate outfits. Her wardrobe is from her Abbey Dawn clothing line. Simple, but cute.

You see the pink skull drum in the background? Haha, adorable.

My Verdict: If you worship Avril Lavigne, her songs, style, or whatever, then this is prolly ‘The Best Damn Thing’ ever. But if you’re like me (a non-fan), you’ll be amused by the fans around you - it’s a great place to people watch. I can imagine those parents feeling the pinch in their pockets by the end of the night (except for the dad in the picture above!). I wouldn’t recommend if you’re a so-so fan. Save your money for say, Motley Crue on Oct 16 at Fort Canning Park? LOL.

YAK PAK Megu: Birthday Gift #1

So, it’s my birthday month and Bubster said I can pick my presentsss, haha. I’m not a spoiled lil’ girlfriend - wait a minute, I’m kinda spoiled but I am reasonable. At least I would like to think so. I don’t think boyfriends should spend ‘too’ lavishly on a girlfriend unless he’s earning mega bucks or has a big trust fund. My Bubster is earning a decent income but I don’t believe in him buying me anything more than say, $1K.

Recently, a friend got his girlfriend a Prada handbag for her birthday (and he’s a full-time university student!)To me, that’s a holiday for two - it’s too much for me, but I think it’s really awesome for him to do so. I think you should set a healthy ratio of the price of the gift against your income. Subjective? How much do you think boyfriends/girlfriends should spend on their partners?

I picked my awesome non-branded bag for my birthday - haha, a YAK PAK Megu handbag (retailed at SGD$59.90) from Spin The Bottle. Bubster and I love this multi-label shop - firstly, it’s a breath of fresh air from the local fashion scene. They bring in cool brands like The Lifetime Collective, Fortune Denim, GAMA-GO and etc. We bought a few T-shirts and a GAMA-GO bag from them over the past year.

Jenny Humphrey carried this in an episode of Gossip Girl. Avril Lavigne has been seen with one with skulls print. I just found out today that YAK PAK handbags come with lifetime warranty for any manufacturing defects. I got the YAK PAK Megu’s Grey Ivy Forest. I spent a fair bit of time deliberating between this one, Grey Bamboo, Black Swallows and Pills.

YAK PAK Megu handbags are made of soft cotton twill with satin interior. I was looking for a casual, weekend mid-size handbag and this is cute, even though it’s not exactly cheap. It’s also their best-selling purse range. I love the size of the bag, and it’s versatility. It also comes with a cute keychain in the built-in pockets. Hee. That’s yours truly’s birthday gift #1. It may not be Prada but it’s pretty fabulous!
