in memory of...

MY LONG CURLY HAIR.. which i miss so much! I thought cutting it short would be easier to managed and more financially feasible.. but in the end! it takes me longer time in the morning to blow dry it and I've been late for work almost everyday! >_<

Thought I would do a LO of myself when I had long hair.. and since I had it for the whole of 2006, i decided to title it "'06 me".. seems everyone is doing a ___ a LO/snapshot a day/month and I thought I should also do one.. a LO a year!! wahaha..
could not find a nicer picture of myself.. If anyone has a nicer one of me with my nice long curly hair please send it to me! I found pics of Lisa's picasa a/c and I saw some nice ones there.. maybe i should scrap those! :) Nice pictures taken with an equally nice SLR!

have a great weekend everyone! Mine looks to be another busy one :)

In need of a crop

My brothers and I are considered close by siblings standards! We still go shopping together and they would ask for my impecable (ah-hem) opinions on clothes!
Thought I do a LO for the latest trip that we went on together - my graduation in Perth in 2003.

It was Kor's 2nd (?) time to Perth. He gave me a visit during my uni days together with a surprise visit from Cousin S. I remembered being really sad the night before they left as we had a really great road trip driving down south.

This was Ron's 1st trip to Perth and hope he had fun!

I wonder when the next time will be when we go on a holiday together now that everyone is busy with each other.. and I hardly get to see them even at home!

Mom and Dad's wedding photo taken 1975. Mom loves the LO and requested of that i do one of herself
wahaha...

LO's were done during the last crop I had with Cousin J and Lisa. It was a great crop! I went prepared with sketches of how I wanted the LO to look like and I got to work quick! Love crops too because I get to use the wonderful things my cousin and friends have! Wonderful alpha stamps (courtesy of Lisa! n Lina), flowers, follage stamps, ribbons, pp (Courtesy of Cousin J)! Huge THANX to them!

Can't wait for the next crop to happen.. hint hint! First I need scrap-worthy pictures!

To any of my friends who read my blog... and if you like the scrapbooking LOs and want to learn please let me know! Cousin J is conducting lessons! Really good! You see my LOs? She is the one who gave me my very first lesson in scrapbooking and introduced me to this wonderous hobby. If I can do it so can YOU!

finally 2007 mE

i know i know it's a bit late.. almost to the end of jan... but finally got my 2007 Me LO out.. done with the new Daisy D papers and JBS journalling spots I got from the recent TVC open house. Happy with the result after professional consultation with lisa.. Thanx!!!

Also made a mess in the process of creating this LO .. on my bro's bed.. luckily he's away in states if not I'll be scolded!!

Satisfied Saturday

I look sleepy eye! but I like my new hair cut.. Picture courtesy of Lisa who took it for me at the wonderful TVC open house today! Came out with good finds :) I love thickers alpha! Tomorrow's project - 2007 Me! LO with my newly bought DaisyD papers! so victorian :) Love it...

The experience at the Korean Salon was great! To start things off, the Korean stylist, Alicia was pretty (but it does make you wonder which part of her did she have surgery on???) anyway she was pretty nonetheless... She spoke smatterings of English but enough to convey that I wanted a nice and shoulder length haircut. - with the help the picture of the Korean actress i faithfully saved in my mob. She was really nice. The services provided were good too - from apple juice (usual beverages at salons are either tea, coffee or water - they have juices!), korean snacks to even a locker system for your bags so you don't have to carry your bag when you go wash your hair! I decline the locker system, instead she was so nice as to provide a chair for me to put my bag on. I really enjoyed myself at the salon and I think next trip to a hair salon will be there too!

Satisfied Saturday...

* Smiling in GLEE*

Yeah yeah!! :P

the weekend is here..

I just had the perfect start to the weekend.. with a huge bowl of Crab Bee Hoon Soup from the famous AMK ave 3 eatery.. ooo.. oh so good meal.. although it means I can't sleep to 3am! I must wait for the glorious rich soup to digest in my stomach!!

Busy Saturday for me! Excited!!!! very excited!!

After getting my "work" over and done with.. I am going to cut my hair!!! I decided (finally!) that I should try to Korean salon in Pacific Plaza, the conversation over the phone went something like this.

Me: Hi

Receptionist (R): Hello, Jayun Hair Salon

Me: I would like to check how much you charge for a hair cut? I have long hair and would like to cut it to shoulder length hair.

R: Our normal stylist cost $45, Senior Stylist $50 and Director is $60, irregardless of length of hair.

Me: Oh! I have a picture of the hairstyle I want. You know the actress that was feature in Urban about your hair salon?

R: Are you after a change of hairstyle? We have a Korean hairstylist but if you don't mind the language barrier she can't really speak English.

Me: Well, I'm going to a Korean Salon, so I was thinking I can have a Korean hairstylist.


Conversation ended with an appointment tomorrow at 1pm with this Korean stylist.. Duh... afterall I decided on this Korean salon precisely because I want to try a Korean stylist right? Why would I want a local stylist?? If I were to do that, I might as well have gone back to Vive? Erm... Duh.. Well updates on the hair will come soon.. many of my friends are patiently awaiting the outcome of my 'experience' at the salon, if it's good, they will try to.. so I'm the guinea pig!

*****************

Triple Yeah!! TVC open house tomorrow! So worried that by the time I arrive all the good deals are gone! how how?? Please keep goodies for me okie, M? So many new things according to the emails that I have been getting! Yeah yeah!! Plus my cousin is starting her very own scrapbooking class! So excited for me.. :) Anyone interested let me know! Scrapbooking is really fun! Shall post pictures of my grabs since my camera is finally back from halfway round the world!!

So excited by tomorrow.. have been waiting for the Open house since I knew about it!! yeah yeah!!

Have a great weekend everyone... mine is looking great!

ranting and ravings

this is more of a rant or should i say rantS!! I do have lots to release! haha...

Bus trip up to KL

1. Bus was extremely lacking in comfort. The other buses that went pass us looked so much more comfortable with leather seats, individual TV screens to better looking curtains! To make things worse, there was this group of family (not local Singaporean, not sure where as they spoke in some un-intelligent language, hence their boorish behaviours) that consisted of 4 adults, 1 teenager and 2 kids. At first it was the father and mother that sat in front of us. The father had the cheek to look at us in the face, nod his head and recline the chair all the way back! I know that the chair is meant to do that but PLEASE for GOODNESS SAKE, be mindful of how others feel about having their space invaded! Call it fate or what -- I think it's total BAD LUCK, we encountered them on the same bus back to Singapore! This time the 2 younger sons sat in front of us and the moment they got into the bus, they reclined the chair all the way back! I was so fuming mad that I told him off!
   
   
2. Then the younger adult of the family, coming from don't know what u-lu country did not even have the courtesy to line up to get up the bus and just cut queue right in front of me to get up the bus. talking about country pumpkin.. her clothes were horrendous as well.. I think she was probably about the same age as me.. but sadly married to a fat hideous looking of a so-called "man". Pathetic!!!
   
   
3. The bus picked us up at 3.30pm on Sunday. Then it went round the town to pick other people up! The trip round the town took 1 and a half hours!!!!!!!!!!! Wasted 1 half hours on the bus when I could have been out shopping!!! Finally time to get onto the highway and guess what??? The driver passed by the same place as he 1st picked us from to pump in petrol! So couldn't he pick the rest of the passengers up then come n pick us up?? Talk about intelligence!
   
   
4. See how important that 1 half hours is??? I could have BOUGHT something.. anything! True blue shopaholic.. knowing that I am in KL supposedly another shopping capital but I did not spend a single cent on anything! The dress that I like was taken by a friend and being the picky me, I did not voice out that I liked it as well and I also refuse to have the same clothes as her! So I kept quiet and let my unhappiness fume in me and I remained quiet for the trip back. I was really upset! I changed S$100 to get RM $270 and I only spent around RM$50 on food and transport?? Is this me? I should have not waited and just heck it and buy what I like at least I would have felt better. I liked this little mannequin -- the kind that you can hang your earring/necklaces on and I thought, "it's okie don't need to get it now I can still buy it tomorrow morning before going back to Singapore" and what happens in the end? NO TIME!!! Aaaaaargggggghhhhhhhh I am fuming!!! I even shred a tear or two!!!
   
   
5. BUT at least the trip was a nice revisit to KL. I saw KLCC a place I heard so much about! I also went to A & W and had their rootbeer float! I missed it alot! hehe.. I will go back again but definitely not with the bus company 707 travel at queens street.. I rather pay more money for better bus ride up and more reliable ones.
   
   

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

My latest collection to my growing collection of shoes! Saw a bag at Raoul that will match the colour but didn't see it at the shops :( bit upset by that. Anywayz, it's so cute rite? Love the pumps and loafer design and of course the colour too!! hehe.. well it's another pair that I've bought but yet to wear! The shop where I've been buying shoes from just popped me a msg and email! More new shoes at the shop.. trying to find time to go by.. wonder when but i will! hehe.. love the quality and design of the shoes at this particular shop - THE SHOE LOFT at China Square, Nankin Street.. Because I have to go there purposely when new collection comes in, I usually walk out of the store with 2 pairs of shoes each time! The lady boss is really nice too which makes the whole experience so much more pleasant!

Time to clear my cupboard of shoes (Dad is complaining!!!) Time to throw away useless and damn uncomfortable Charles and Keith shoes already!! SPRING CLEANING TIME!

have a good weekend everyone! I'm off to KL for a weekend trip... quite rush but a quick getaway is better than nothing?

deliberations...

Pictures of Song Hye-Kyo (from the famous Korean Drama Full House, in which she acted with Rain). Especially like the 3rd picture where she wears specs... Do i even look a little like that when i do??? haha.. vainity..

I've spent the past week deliberating whether to cut my hair? Perm my hair? Leave it alone? Whenever it is time for me to make such decision, I find myself in a real dilemna, but then, I always tell myself "It's only hair! It will grow back!!" Anyone and everyone I see almost everyday has been bugged by me on what I need to do with my hair!! But then I still find it hard to make a decision! Any suggestions? What do anyone think of picture 2? think I should cut aways the curls and make it nice and even like that ya? suit me??

then again.. the 1st pic is for dreamers like me.. when will i every look like that????


just one word to describe me... VAIN

I really needed to post this! haha.. after signing off from my own blog.. i clicked "next blog" and some foreign language blog came up so okie, i clicked "next blog" again.. and guess what? I found this Beyonce blog.. obviously not by her!! haha... i really can't stop laughing!

I thought the time has passed whereby people will put up pictures like that or even create a website for the celebrity... and if you scroll down.. u will see a title "SOME PICTURES OF ME" me?? me?? haha.. really I thought nothing like this existed anymore!

otherwise, I'm old.. and I am not bothered by stuff as frivolous as this! LOL

weekend is over.. wanted to do so much! but well.. too bad another time not bothered too. I know myself! If i want to get something done, it will happen it's only a matter of time

Xmas 2

Xmas 2, originally uploaded by fiona woo.

LeArning

Isn't life a journey of constant learning process? So why did one B have to stay I must stop learning and start to contribute? WTF? I have such serious issues with that? I really can't get what she said out of my head! It really leaves such a foul taste in my mouth...

Look! I the past 4 months! I've learned:

1) to blog! Something that I've seen people around me do and thought that I would never do it precisely because I'm too lazy and I thought it's too time-consuming! But what the heck! just LEARN!

2) to scrapbook! and totally loving it! I've seen my cousin do it and with such enthusiasm it has certainly inspired me to take up scrapbooking!

3) partically everyone knows that i am totally HOPELESS with the public transport system in Singapore!! and given the fact that my new work place is freaking far away from home sweet home... what did I have to do? LEARN!!! to take 2 buses to work.. well it was quite a long process.. starting from 3 buses and LEARNING that I could in fact only have to take 2 and how did I come to know? I LEARN??

so what the heck did that B had to say I MUST STOP LEARNING????

life is a journey of learning okie?? Damn! I am really pissed as I'm recalling all the words she said to me! and now I am so glad that I'm out of the place so i felt so stagnanted and I really needed to LEARN something new! Woo Hoo..

well below is a belated X'mas card to everyone I know. Made with my new found knowledge of scrapbooking okie?? see I am LEARNING!!

this is how lazy i am

haha... i've not blogged for what? how long? when was the last time i came here? aug? OMG!! it's already 2007! see i have such random thoughts..
but good to know is that scrapbooking has really been keeping me busy!!! hehe.. I love it..

Happy new year everyone!
have a great weekend.. mine seems to be filled.. hopefully can squeeze in a crop somewhere!

dreams

dreamt about what i was going to write in my blog... talk about being inspired even in my sub-consciousness!
But can't remember a thing now that i'm awake.. hehe :P

inspired

INSPIRED?

this word has been coming up quite often this past week as i view blogs of some close friends as well as anonymous people... It is inspiring to see the things that others have done and to create such pretty things - scrapbooking, jewellery making, cake baking and decorating, parchment, even plant landscaping! It is so interesting after talking to people that one or the other is doing some form of craft! Even my beloved manicurist does pretty nail art for me! I do love her so! *shall post picts of my toes in future! LOL*

Hence... after being inspired by pretty pictures of jewellery making, cake decorating, scrapbooking and nail art... I decided that I should get reconnected with my own creative side, however miserable it is. I love pretty things... the kids in school know.. they are always commenting on my toes *gasps*, clothes, little accessories, etc. Even my mom complains about my spending on pretty stuff! Too girly it seems? Sometimes I even try to hide this aspect of being too girly!?! Not me it seems..

Inspiration came crawling up on me to start writing my blog as well... so here goes.. hope my inspiration lasts...
