T3 T3 T3!!!

Cam whoring...

I'm so excited! Because come tomorrow, I will be at Novus at the National Museum doing my very first interview and photoshoot with T3 magazine. Hip hoorays and cartwheels! The stylist will be down tomorrow to see if I am suitable for the concept of their January cover as well. How cool is that right. That is IF me on the cover actually gets realised la. I am seriously keeping all my fingers and toes crossed real tight. You know how you try to not get yourself too hyped or psyched about something before it happens. Ah well, that's pretty much me for you most of the time. Nobody likes to set themselves up for disappointments.

Anyhoos, it was raining the entire of yesterday. But before I move on to chatter about the happenings of last night. I'll be performing during Countdown 2008 at Vivo City. Yup, this year has been a fleeting one I must say. Come to think of it I don't quite know where the year went.

Well, back to topic, I will be doing songs for the pre-show which should last from 10pm to 11pm thereabouts. Details are not all in yet but that's sort of the plan. Performing too for the actual Countdown show which will be televised 'live' on Channel 5 from 11pm to of course 12 midnight! Other Live The Dream finalists and Mediacorp artistes will be performing too. So 2008!!!! Can you believe that another year has slipped past us? It has been one hell of a year!

So yes happenings of last night. TV trailer for Countdown 2008. Had hair and make up done at Mediacorp and it was pouring like crazy! I liked the way the stylist did my hair and I don't know how they do it with just a flat iron. Amazing. Although the bouncy bouncy loose curls didn't last. Went flat within a couple of minutes, despite shelter from my handy brolly while walking over to wardrobe to change into my outfit. That's like 300 metres I think. Ah well.

Made our way on chartered bus to Vivo City for the trailer shoot. It was pissy weather. The humid and intermittent drizzly type. The weather did let up enough for us to get 3/4 of the trailer done. Although it did drizzle rather heavily toward the end of the shoot, our moods weren't dampened the least. It felt like the time went really quick. Before I knew it, well at least to me, it was all done. Chop chop. Was cool. So look out for the trailer on TV k!

I felt immense hunger after the shoot. My stomach was loudly objecting and making it's feelings known. Probably the combination of the rain and cold and not having not eaten the entire day 'cept for one measly lemon cream biscuit out of a Khong Guan tin at Mediacorp. Terrible right.

And sooo. Had late dinner at Al Majlis with Rahmat and Fendi. Grilled lamb ala total yum. Though the initial batch of wedges were disappointingly cold and hard. But our loud bantering and funny random dinner conversations more than made up for it. Had like really strange conversations about farting and other things too illegal for some ears. I must have been famished because I kept my appetite despite hearing some really disgusting things.

So yes before I forget, I do have lots of tickets for the Countdown show 'live' at Vivo City on 31st Dec. Will be lots of dancing, singing, hottie boys, sexy ladies and merry-making. Goodness it just hit me that this will be the very first New Year's (me thinks) that I'll actually be working....So come down and party with all of us and bring your family and friends! Or tune in on the tele la also can. So feel free to get in touch with me for tickets alrighty?

Ok pokes, I have got to go hang out my laundry because I need to be wearing this particular shirt tomorrow and it needs to be dry come sunrise. So it's off to the laundry line then off to bed for me. Oh before I go, here are some pictures taken at Black Party at Indochine Forbidden City during one of my singing appearances.

Love lots and sweet sweet dreams. :)

You cut me open and I keep bleeding love...

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. I can't get this song out of my head lately. The lyrics and sound are so emotional. It really got to me when I heard it for the first time. Here are the words and a fuzzy picture of me. ;)

Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love...

Lingerie...My CUP of tea.

You know. I need help. I haven't had the chance or time to shop properly like a normal human girl in the past couple of months because I was just too busy or tired.

Normal girl: "What!? Rubbish... How can you EVER be too tired or busy to spend money and shop for things you don't need?!"
Abnormal haven't-gone-shopping-in-eons girl: "Ya lor ya lor..."

I really miss seeing that little shopping cart icon on websites and "Your shopping cart currently has 12 items in it." So much so, that I have recently gone kabonkas and turned into every man's nightmare and every bank's dream (most men run away in fear when the Shopping Monster in us rears it's ugly head) ...*manic sounds of credit cards swiping in the distance*... See la.

I keep buying lingerie and sleepwear. But so cute la cannot resist! *Squeals with delight* Especially now that there are like a plethora of uber cute innerwear that can be worn as outerwear! We girls are so spoiled for choice. Anyway, it's lingerie. If we girlies buy it, you boys get to see it what. Should be happy we pamper our bottoms and bosoms with pretty little things (ahem, yes little) and not moth-bitten and moldy granny undies. All this shopping nonsense we attribute to a unique type of Temporary Insanity. It's true. Don't you guys notice our eyes glaze over when we see something pink and pretty and just have to have it? *lol*

This is one huge bra sale I bet you boys won't mind tagging along on.

Anyhoos! I am cheerier lately because...Christmas is fast approaching. So that means more shopping, even if it's for other people. Oh what fun it is making Christmas lists for loved ones. It also means I get to stuff my face with candy canes. And I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree. But I seriously detest taking the tree down every year. Don't like destroying pretty things....Ok la so I am lazy and find it a chore to put everything back in place.

Tomorrow I've got my uncle's housewarming to go to and then it's off to meet some friends after. Excited to see their new home. My parents also moved into their new home recently. I really like the new place and I'm so happy mummy's got a big garden to put her green fingers to the ultimate use. :)

Alrighty, the Z monster beckons. Nighty night and cotton candy dreams!

Talking scents - "My my, you smell delicious!"

I cannot and will not leave the house without smelling good. There are times when I am almost out the door only to rush back inside to mist on a cloud of my favourite scent. Smelling great is always a huge turn on. I love how scents have this magical way of transporting you back to a certain memory, time or even remind you of someone. Well for me at least, and I certainly have my favourites.

Appletini in a pweeeety bottle!

I've been asked to play ambassador or to put plainly 'endorse' Parisvally (France) perfumes and I am ever so grateful for the opportunity. The nitty gritties of the contract are still underway so fingers crossed that something great happens for both parties! There are many other undiscovered lovely scents under this line of perfume. I brought home a couple of products from them to test out and enjoy. Which sane girl doesn't adore freebies tell me!?

Ok warning, I am going to start raving...I am so loving their new scent 'It's Delicious'! The bottle is just too cute la. The photos don't do it justice! It's so pretty sitting atop my bathroom counter all poised and colourful. This scent really grew on me considering the fact that I am not really into fruity scents, but I've certainly fallen for this baby and I know why....IT SMELLS LIKE APPLETINI!!! One of my favourite Martini cocktails! Yes, alcoholic 'ol me.

You see, I was having drinks with friends at Ice Cold Beer (@Emerald Hill, one of my fav haunts to chill out) and sipping on my first of many Appletinis of the night when it hit me. I was like so excited I exclaimed out loud and grabbed my friend seated closest to me and cried "Hey! Smell my drink! Now smell me! Smells like my drink right?" I am always so easily excited about everything and anything it's scary. Tee hee.

You have to go catch a sniffle wiffle of this scent. It's perfect as a daytime scent for me. Am a little schizo about my scents and have like different ones for day and night. Here's some info on it that's always good to know. Yummmaayyy...




This Eau De Parfum is a juicy fragrance which combines the scent of apple with a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods. Notes include American Apple, Cucumber, Grapefruit, Candied Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Tender Skin Accord, Blonde woods and White Amber.

You can find it at all John Little department stores, Dollars & Scents, and other reputed stores islandwide. Ok pokes, am off to bed now because my hair is finally dry. Sweetest smelling dreams!

I must send out Christmas cards this year!

I must I must. I have been trying to get a hold on all my friends' and family's mailing addresses. Hopefully it will not all be in vain! I really do want to send out X'mas cards this year. But then again I've heard myself say that many times in previous years and NOTHING. I am just terrible. I actually keep a box specially for letters and cards which I've written in the past with stamps still on, and have never sent them out. I still think nothing beats a thoughtful handwritten letter or card via snail mail. Enough of those impersonal e-cards already! Don't you agree? Christmas is coming!! More reasons to shop (for people of course but it's still shopping nonetheless!) and buzz friends for a get-together. I like.

Sorry for the long break!

*Highlights* Catch me at the Timbre Music Festival @ The Arts House on Monday 29th October from 10pm onwards.

I'm back after a tremendously long break of not updating my blog. So yes I'm sorry! Live The Dream's run is over BOO HOO! I had a tough time getting over being booted out of the competition on Oct 10th. Was pretty bummed about not getting into the finals. Not just for me, but more so for my family, friends and fans who have been voting faithfully and subjecting their thumbs to countless SMSing. It somehow felt like I let everyone down. But I kind of put things in perspective for a bit and realised it is a competition after all. Took a while to get over it and was feeling really blue about it. You win some and you lose some right? Thank you & many hugs & thousand kissies for all who played a part in my journey.

It was an awesome journey for me on the show. I met so many wonderful people! And some I will take away as lifelong friends for sure. Andrea is always so sweet to me on the show...a real sweetheart, not to mention gorgeous la. Michelle is gorgeous too. Sometimes I find myself staring at her! Not lesbian or anything, just like looking at beautiful people. I will certainly miss being in close proximity to Utt la. Such hotness, plus he seems like an awesome guy. Ok, I am beginning to sound like some zit-ridden groupie. You know, at the Grand Finals after-party, I took this picture with Utt and have been asking friends if they'd like to see my wedding photo. They'd go all wide-eyed and of course I'll show them the pic taken with hottie Utt, then I'd be plagued with eye-whites and many a sarcastic 'Yahhh right, you wish'. That's goofy 'ol me for you.

Anyhoos, it was really great to get a chance to come back in the Grand Finals and soak up the last of the show's atmosphere. I will really really really miss that more than everything! The hanging out and goofing around before showtime with everyone. Alot of stuff goes on behind the scenes and in the dressing rooms before the actual show! Ah haaa...getting curious are we? Not to mention the people behind the show...will certainly miss them ordering us about and their quirky personalities. I am so glad i did this. I am getting so emotional!

Life goes on, and it'll only get better. By the way, I will be part of the Timbre Music Festival. I performed a half hour set for the very first time all by myself. Freaky! Went ok for a first timer I guess, but could've gone better I felt. I will be performing again tomorrow, Monday October 29th at Timbre at The Arts House. You can catch me from 10pm onwards. Fendi and Victor will be there performing as well. Fendi is a resident performer at Timbre weekly in case you guys would like to know. Check out this website for more info - http://www.timbre.com.sg/musicfest/livethedream.htm. So maybe I'll catch some of you there if you can make it.

Ok pokes, me thinks it's time to crash. Will upload some pictures soon so it won't look so boring with just words. Nighty night and cotton candy dreams!

Boohoo, my shoe...

Haven't quite had the time to blog. So, here are some pictures of the performance last Wednesday. I think you can get a clearer view by clicking on them. Anyhoos, been busy with work and LTD, but all is really great.


Had dinner with Fendi and Victor earlier on at Border's Cafe. Ate and drank so much water I kept needing to go pee. And guess what...My shoe broke! You see we had to go down to Mediacorp for vocals this morn, and later on to learn the dance choreography for our party song this coming Wednesday. And I decided in the morning to wear this pair of shoes that I'd bought some time back (well, ok maybe more than a couple of years la). I guess it had been in storage for too long and the glue became weak. So there I was trying to get the dance steps down and my shoe strap just gave out! Lucky I had ribbons (don't ask me why I have them in my bag) in my bag and did a make-shift tie-around. Worked for a while until after dinner at Border's Cafe. I had to walk barefoot to hail a cab to go home. Just as well because I need to rest. I had to hold my pee in because it would just be disgusting going to the loo without shoes on! Yuck.

The dance choreo was pretty new to me. I mean I've taken dance classes before but...it's pretty tough to get your act together, remember lyrics, the moves and try to sing without sounding laboured. But I'm excited about this coming Wednesday...so close to the Grand Finals. I hope I do well. *crosses fingers* But I know I'm here because of my faithful supporters who have seen me through the various rounds of competition. So thank you and kisses for all. :D

K. Am going to go sleepy sleeps. Nighty night and cotton candy dreams!
