Yesterday was one hectic, mad day. I had to run multiple errands - bank, school (Fees! Not funny, I’m a few Ks broke now), laundry and dinner with dad. I caught the matinee show for Avenue Q. I didn’t get all dressy dressy for the show as I was running about the entire day. If you haven’t got tickets to Avenue Q, please book the remaining seats now! I promise you two-hours of fun, puppet sex and multiple stitches! I just finished writing my review for channelnewsasia.com - tune in! Meantime, do read my Avenue Q feature here.

Pardon me, I’m still stoked at meeting Bryan Boy with the local fashion bloggers last night. This wasn’t planned.  In fact, it was so last minute that I couldn’t believe everything just fell into place. Thanks to Stephie who quickly smsed me about the drink session. We didn’t have everyone’s mobile numbers so we only managed to contact a few. BB is really really really nice, and I had this misconception that he might be a little ‘diva’ but I was so wrong. You’ll be surprise, really. He’s jetting off today back to Manila. BB, we’ll see you very very soon - you promise! Enjoy my very picture-heavy post:

My lame attempt at pouting for camera. BB is such a natural! Jealous.

Stephie and Dottie from Fashion Nation. Hafiz from Streetsnaps.

Me and TraiT. Dinie from Posh Palette. We couldn’t help camwhoring at Klee!

Bloggers playing paparazzi for the day. Can you blame us?

Stephie suggested that we camwhore with “I Love Bryan Boy” sign made by Hafiz.

Woohoo! My declaration of love for BB.

The gang loves BB too. Thanks to Hafiz who prepared it!

Walking along Portsdown Road. No cabs at wee hours!

Stephie, on the phone with Comfort Cab! Alas, we had to walk to AYE to hail for cabs.

Always a moment for camwhoring! Zhiqang and I.

Hafiz and I. He’s a darling!

Dinie’s a cool cat. Very genuine fella.

At Tantric. It’s getting hot in errrrreeee!

The other side of the table. Gettin’ cosy!

Tralalala. The entire group! I love the cheesy background.

Kissy… Kissy…

BB bag by Marc Jacobs and Peggy dress by Swirl. Belt by ZARA.

Hafiz looked like he just won lottery. Stephie got “poked” from behind.

BB making sweet love to a trash bin and err, what’s that thingy?

Oh no, you didn’t! What’s going on?

Another group shot before Tantric management kicked us out.

Black gloves, baby.

Dinie’s bag is really interesting. Look what’s inside!

Random gay dudes. The left one was hitting on BB! Dark-skin one offered a fag.

It was a fantastic night. I had a total blast!! Let’s do this again, ladies and gents.

Isn’t it a lovely day? I walked down to Starbucks at The Cathay this morning for a quick study session with a venti-size Ice Caffe Latte (nope, I don’t so soy milk). It’s actually quite nice to study there (at the outdoor patio area) as the wind was blowing and it wasn’t humid. I had one quality hour of studying before I embarked on a 4-HOUR shopping trip in Orchard Road. Bad girl. I know. I couldn’t resist it - I love most of ZARA’s latest collection. I saw the exact replica of the metal studded belt that Carrie Bradshaw wore in the SATC movie - but they didn’t have my size and it costs SGD$89.90. I bagged another one from the TRF section at SGD$29.90. Hah, works for me. And, I got these patent pointy-toed shoes which is totally perfect. I’ve been looking for these for awhile now, but I’ve never tried one that I truly love. This is love at first sight, literally. And, they’re comfortable too. Maybe I should wear them with red socks like TraiT. LOL.

This is LOVE at first sight. From TRF by ZARA.

My metal studded waist-belt. Yum.

I got these from Substance at Isetan Shaw. I couldn’t resist them!

Initially, I was supposed to blog this yesterday. But, Fash-E was facing some techy difficulties (so annoying!) and here I am, blogging 24 hours late. As you’ve heard, ZARA sale is on since Thursday. I didn’t snag anything - it’s like a warzone at the Liat Tower outlet. My boy managed to grab a red bomber jacket and a work shirt. The boys’ section is not as crazy as the ladies. I don’t think the sale is that good, just wait for everything to be picked over and then hunt for the hidden gems. Just kidding.

Flea-tique is back! I know, it’s prolly happening right now as I’m blogging. The weather is really hot outside. I won’t be checking it out later. WHY? I’m going to the Singapore Toy and Comic Convention! YES! Tofu-Oyako! Tokidoki! Devilrobots! I’m THERE! Then, I’ve a birthday party to attend. Photos! I promise ;)

Ta-dah! Yours truly was at the ‘Sex and the City’ Gala Premiere last night at Vivocity. I brought my boy along (well, it’s hard to bring your girlfriend because the rest will be jealous!) who is not a SATC fan and he prolly has seen one episode like… ever. So, this would be a good time to introduced our favourite “girlfriends” to him - Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.

That’s me in floral glory! It’s summer (unfortunately, it was raining yesterday) and I deserve to wear summer dresses! I couldn’t wear heels yesterday because I had to work (doh) and rush to class and then to Vivocity for dinner with mum before sending her off.  Yeah, mum went home yesterday night.

It’s a private event! Warner Bros booked the entire cinema for the night. They’re really promoting SATC to every single, attached or married women from 20 to 40 years old.

The running text above says “Welcome to “Sex & the City” Gala Premiere”. Woo!

NOW SHOWING: SEX AND THE CITY - Yes, we get the picture.

Filming crew! Ooh, I miss production life - in a way. I’m not sure who they’re shooting for - HBO? Channel News Asia? I don’t know.

Singapore celebrities, Pierre Png and Andrea de Cruz. I wonder why she needs to take slimming pills and risk her life to gain her ideal weight. To me, she looks perfectly fine! She’s even skinnier than the magazines.

FOOD! FOOD! Glorious food! We had dinner at Crystal Jade Dining In before popping by. Sigh.

Ooh, sexy back! Haha. Check out the decor on the table. The David Tutera in me is coming out!

The boy couldn’t resist more dessert from the buffet table. Cheesecakes and brownies, yum!

More cosmos and champagne! The boy isn’t comfortable with photos. That’s his just after work look with his Adidas backpack. My mum says he looks like a school kid. That’s me without makeup, hahaha.

Champagne! I didn’t have any. I would be drunk before the movie started. I was a good girl and I had a Coke Light instead.

This is the SATC Gala Premiere invite that has been sitting at my work desk for almost a week.

As I wait patiently for the movie, I decided to take a close up of my ZARA summer dress and pink patent flats. So here we are, listening to the SATC soundtrack and watching all these fabulously dressed people walking in and taking their seats. Ooh, lights dimmed… and we’re starting the show!

Dress: Floral summer dress by ZARA

Shoes: Pink Patent Flats by Mondo (only $9!)

Necklace: Black stone pendant by Diva

High-waisted belt is one of the more prominent trend this season. This fabulous rainbow stripe belt from Forever21 is just perfect for the fun, happy look to pair off with that bold red dress. Totally chic!


Sailor stripes or anything nautical is in my chic ditionary. Also, hot off the shelfs are cropped denim jackets worn with pretty dresses. Above are our picks from the fabulous ZARA Summer ‘06 collection.


Go boho with checked tops with chunky gold necklaces. And yes, denim shorts are in too. Yes, we can’t enough of stripe dresses, stripe whatever! Above are our picks from the fabulous ZARA Summer ‘06 collection.


Big blouses with short white crop shorts are awesome for the Summer. Not to mention, long European-inspired long flowy dresses are for the beautiful people. Yes, more from the awesome ZARA Summer ‘06 collection. I can’t help it, I just bought a pretty pink/white stripe wrap-around top from ZARA yesterday. Hee.


Black haunts us every season. Even in Summer. Shirt dress is one of my all-time fave style and that black piece just looks stunning. If it isn’t black, it’s white. This victorian style dress is another hot trend this summer. These are the gorgeous selection from MNG.
