...hehehee....

Hello Kitty Goes High-End! $$$$


"Think Hello Kitty is just for the kiddies? Sanrio, the company behind the perky feline, has signed deals with crystal-covered purse creator Judith Leiber ...."


I came across this and just had to add it to my blog. After some searching on Ebay...You can own this Super Bling Super cute Judith Leiber clutch for only US $1,595.00!! Wah lau...I'm not so crazy la. Maybe if I strike ToTo la...*dreaming* Oh ya..and please note this bag is only 4x3 inches. To put one lipstick and maybe 2 peanuts.

"The "Hello Kitty Collection by Kimora Lee Simmons" makes ample use of diamonds, precious and semi-precious stones. The nine-carat diamond convertible pendant/brooch is valued at more than $50,000 and there are also charm bracelets, earrings and other designs which are being sold at Neiman Marcus."
Just in case you missed the price, this pendant is going for a mere $50,000! Wah haha...wah lau eh! OMG...there must be plenty of rich rich people out there...afterall Demand=Supply. Oh well...I can look for free and continue dreaming...*strike TOTO strike TOTO!*

Leopard Print Nails

A fun leopard print with glitter top-coat and 3-D red heart nail-art. Cute! The leopard prints were hand painted using acrylic paints and a tiny paint brush available at any art store. I got mine at Art-Friend at Bras Basah.

My Bejwelled Toes

Did a really sparkly one for my toes this time. Really pretty..but I've become very careful with my toes, afraid I might scratch off the gems. Oh well..lets see how long this lasts. The pink fading base matches it nicely too.

I went to the Beauty Expo at Suntec...it had loads of stuff. Tons of nail stuff and lots of scary looking machines they use at beauty salons to firm up cellulite/ tone your skin/ aka to make one more beautiful...makes me wonder if any of these machines are actually certified? After all its used on your body and face with dunno what special lasers and gamma rays etc...does anyone actually check on these? Dunno if you will end up harming your body in the future. And alot of the time...these machines are made in China. U'de rather buy a TV thats made in Japan, but a machine to use on your body and face at the salons...do you know where they are made or what they actually do?? Scary man....
Oh and I went for my first meeting with Dang Bridal today. She let me try on a few dresses and helped me design mine. So I decided I'm going to have only 2 gowns. One cheongsum style and one traditional wedding gown. Gonna wear my cheongsum for the tea ceremony and the gown for most of the wedding. No evening gown...might change into my cheongsum at the end of the wedding to say bye-bye to the guests. Will decide later. So now have to wait till end April for my first fitting...wah such a long time more. Waiting....Kan-chiong....

Gong Xi Fa Cai!




CNY 2007 is here! This year was a little different for me, past years I would usually just go to my grandma house, have lunch, lay around & wait for people to come n visit. After the people leave...the closer family who stay behind will start to doze off on the sofa or..get this..fall asleep on the King-sized mattress in the middle of the living room! Been kinda a tradition since a few years back when my dad dragged out the mattress to lay on while watching TV. So now...its a permanent fixture for our CNY gatherings. Too bad I got no pic. But while I was searching thru my pics..I came upon this pic of my brother who fell asleep on the sofa after our reunion dinner last year. FUNNY! hehehe...


Veered off abit there...


...this CNY I had to do quite abit of visiting following my hubby & his family around. They have quite a big extended family so we went to quite a few places. Let me tell u, a cheongsum is not comfy in non-airconditioned places after you've eaten a hundred pineapple tarts, a few thousand 'Hae-bi-Hiam' and a whole ton of other rubbish! I had to keep tugging and pulling to keep the skirt down...n the top up. I'm more used to big flowy styles where I can sit any way I like and not 'zhao-geng' to all the uncles & aunties. But..it did look nice. So once a year is ok la.


Oh ya...n my hubby even wanted me to buy the smaller size cheongsum. When I tried it on, it was super tight-fit..like cannot even sit down. Lucky I chose the bigger one in the end. Must make allowance for CNY food. There's nothing to do but EAT n SMILE when you are visiting people you don't know. They will keep saying "Please help yourself!" so I help lor..I just munched away non-stop.


ya...n I forgot to take a pic of my nails. So I included a close up here. The flowers are pretty lasting..still perfectly ok till now. Most of the jewels have fallen off. I'm so proud of myself (thick skinned)...I even managed to do the flowers on my left hand.






3-D Pink Flowers

Did loads of nails during CNY. Helped my aunts, grandma, etc. end of the day my fingers were cramping. Too bad only managed to take pic of these 2 done for my boyfriend's sisters. Quite nice..managed to practice quite a bit.

I let them choose from a nail art book and tried my best to copy it. Merrina chose a pink gradation glitter base with some daisy like flowers.

Melissa chose a light pink glitter base with hibiscus like flowers.

Chinese New Year is Coming!


CNY is coming! Better make the most of it! Next year have to start giving Ang Pao..*Heart pain* hehee...Just got so used to receiving and not giving. Wah lau...I have to give my unmarried cousins Ang Pao! So weird!

I did my toe nails to match my Cheongsum that I got from Chinatown. I think I kinda got the hang of using the 3D Kit. Not too bad :) Haven't done my nails yet. Will do it the night before..don't want any gems or petals to fall off. (Just remembered I have to go buy a pair of red undies..haha..funny man! My mother-in-law got my hubby red briefs for good luck so I should get some too.)
Nice? I put abit of gold glitter polish on the tips to match the gold on my dress. Base is pastel purple plus a couple of gems here n there...

Purple Glittery Hearts

Quite a simple one to do. Pale purple base with dark purple glitter for tips. Add a layer of clear glitter polish with hearts and finally top off with another layer of glitter only.

I also added a 3D ribbon and some dots after I found the kit. Not too bad.


Cute neh!

Look What I Found!

Always been curious about 3D nail art...u know the kind u see in japanese magazines where the girls have really crazy nails with lots of flowers and stuff. Well, I found this 3D kit from a cart store at Junction 8....it had loads of other nail related stuff. Alot of really nice nail stickers, jewels..etc. A bit ex though...this kit cost me$49.90. :( Oh well...been looking for quite a while. And the instructions are all in Japanese! Ai yo! So I just follow the pics and try try. Quite difficult to get the right shape and consistency...more practice for me.

Oh yah...n the liquid is seriously smelly! It stinks of super strong alcohol. Actually, after a while you get used to the smell n its not too bad. My boyfriend is convinced I will get alcohol poisoning from inhaling the fumes n forced me to open my windows when doing it. Didn't really want to cos all the bugs n mosquitoes will fly in. No choice.


The kit comes with 3 different colours and a small brush. And...more instructions in JAPANESE!


Here's a series of practice attempts I made. Ya..n I used a Nail art magazine for the backing as inspiration to follow. Will keep u updated on my progress.

My New Toy!

Wah haha....told you I couldn't resist a plain mobile! Hehe..this time I got it wrapped at G-Mask first before I stuck on the crystals. So I can trade it in next time. Just peel off the plastic & the phone is like brand new inside. But cost me $38! eeyeh..what to do?


Decided on a rainbow coloured theme this time. Very sweet and yummy looking...like candy colours. Also made a matching strap for it. Love it! Wait till my boyfriend sees it! (Ya I know I sometimes refer to him as my baby/ hubby/ boyfriend..all the same, just getting used to it, we're getting married on 20th Oct 2007 :)



& of course I just have to add the furry ball.



Just to be more drama, I added this before & after pic to show you what my phone looked like before. I think I got addiction to shiny stuff. Before you start imagining me wearing bright sequinned tops, disco ball earrings and furry heels strutting down Orchard road, let me clarify that my dressing is actually quite the opposite. I like to wear neutral shades like white & lots of brown. I'm not 5 yrs old anymore, a top to toe sparkly pink look is just not me. Yeah...I still like some embrioded (umm..how to spell ah?) beads & jewels..but not too much.

But!...that means I can go crazy with my nails, camera, mobile, thumbdrive, ERP cover (seriously!)...alot of my stuff is super blinged out and sparkly! Don't know why man...ever since I can remember..I've always been attracted to anything that is shiny.

Hello Kitty EVA Air Plane

Adeline got this for me from an EVA Air flight. So cute! Eva Air has this Hello Kitty themed plane where everything is Hello Kitty! Like everything! (heaven!) hehe...seriously, I went to check it out online and even your food has Hello Kitty in it. It had a fish cake thing that was shaped like Hello Kitty's head!

Hopefully, if my plans come through...I will be taking this plane with my hubby for our honeymoon! haha...think he will just faint when he sees all the Hello Kitty stuff! Gosh I can't wait:))

*****Here are some pics for u to feast your eyes*****

(WARNING! Not for Hello Kitty Phobes):

Can you believe how cute this is!?!

Hmm...think my hubby will be quite happy with these Hello Kitty cabin crew....

I'm gonna steal all these stuff...


& I'm going to eat Hello Kitty...Yummy!


If you can't get enough of Hello Kitty...check out http://evakitty.evaair.com/ for more!

I Got A New Mobile!!


Check out my old phone! The most blinged out phone around...I'm gonna miss it. Love the way it sparkles! But the Motorola SMS function is just killing me! I just cannot get use to it after almost one year! Wah lau! I'm just gonna stick to Nokia...that's what I always say when I get tempted and try another. Just couldn't resist the pink Razor V3X when it came out. Oh well...It's gonna be my spare phone...dunno if any shop willing to take this as trade-in! Haha! Anyway, I can't bear to part with it. Just too pretty.


My New Phone! Heheh...so clean & nice (for now). My baby bought this for my x'mas,b'day & v-day pressie! eee....cheapo! Only 1 present! :P...just kidding babe! Love u...Muack muack! He planned out some game with clues for me to find it hidden somewhere in my room. Too bad, I so clever...the game lasted only less than 20 mins. Hehehe. Told you I'm a genius!


My baby is the best! So sweet :)






Cool Rainbow Nail-Art!


A mixture of nail polish, stickers & some jewels. The rainbow strips were painted using "Art Nail" nail polish bought from Daiso. Base is plain white. It comes with a small tipped brush that makes it easier to paint patterns. The stars were bought ages ago from some 'SINMA' shop for a few bucks. Very cheap for a whole sheet of different sized stars. I added some swarovski crystals on one nail for extra BLING! :) My most inticate nail art yet! Got loads of comments that they found it amazing I did it myself. Yes right hand too! hehe...just takes some practice.


Here's a close-up pic...can see the sparkles & glittter more clearly. Lovely!
