You’re the analyst, the fungus in my milk

Just a quickie to let y’all know that despite the exams and the bouts of barfing and diarrhoea, I’m still alive but I’m going to sleep in 10mins time and what better way to waste time than blog. Trying out Windows Live Writer.

Sat for my first exam today, the International Business Strategies one. Can’t say that I did amazingly, but good thing I got through it before running out of the exam hall to the toilet. Stupid food poisoning I tell you, I’m going to stop going to Old Town to study. Not. Haha I make joke like Borat!

Anyways. Tomorrow’s Marketing Research Methods and I apologise to your ears and your appetite, but my butt is like a friggin tap. I rarely get food poisoning. Really. Ask Mozzer and she will tell you, plus you never see diarrhoea pills in our medicine shelf ever.

I hope I won’t be tempted to blog again until after my last paper (next Monday FYI) so yeah JulianMC I’m sorry but I’m waiting for EuTjinSnaps to upload his pictures cos I bet he took much better pics than I did, heh.

Plus today’s totally random meetup with SurferJustin rekindled my interest in Silverchair. He says it’s fated that he spotted me preparing for IBS, hence threatening to disturb me if we don’t do some catch up over lunch. Surfers must be banned from exam prep! *kicks* Don’t worry I had enough time to study cos wait for it DivaSya

I COMPLETED ALL MY WRITTEN NOTES FOR IBS LAST FRIDAY. and I just found out yesterday LOL

Amazing, no? Too bad that it wasn’t open book or I would’ve aced it.

Okai I’z gots ta go nao. Good night, and thanks for the prayers! :)

ps. I think I’m gonna stick back to blogger.

You wont be lonely, even if the sky is falling down

I think Jay Sean's Down video is hot. He's... mmm. Oh noes RavishingReshme stop influencing me to go gaga for Indian dudes! Where's my loyalty to the turban community oops
*click*


I was supposed to study Marketing Research after getting back from the clinic today, but instead...




I couldn't resist. The movie was like, sitting in the HP for like, hours! Apparently, so was like, The Hills Season like, 4.

Try like, counting how many times like, the Hills characters like, say like, like. You'll be like, totally astounded, I mean, right?

Aaanyway. Anna Wintour.



This was how she looked at the Yves Saint Laurent designer when he showed her his pieces for Fall. It was cos she didn't see plays of colour with the fabrics and the designer retorted with a "Colours are not my thing for fall, I just don't have the mood." Bad idea. Goodness, and you thought Meryl Streep's reaction in the Devil Wears Prada was fictitious.

It kinda made me want to buy myself a September issue of Vogue. Who wouldn't, seeing how much editorials that are being stuffed into that "Fashion Bible"?



But I suppose if you have no idea who Anna Wintour is (gasp) because you don't know what's the big deal about Vogue (double gasp) then don't watch the movie cos it's kinda boring if you don't know your Demarcheliers from your Leon Talleys.



Speaking of fashion, my boy JulianMC (whadduppp homie? weekiweeki chekitout) is going to present some new couture gowns for MiFA tomorrow so the bunch of us are heading there to give him full support! Hopefully I won't miss it again like the last time. Heh.


There's like, a new episode of like, The Hills that's been downloaded so I'm gonna like, go watch it then like, go studdehhh. I know, right?

>> Down by Jay Sean

Listen to the winds of change

Shucks.

I feel super bad now (not the naughty kinky kind) because one of my customer just chided me for putting off not posting out her item. I know I'm running a legit business here, but sometimes I get so caught up with, hmm, say, bringing all the notes/books I need to study that I don't put business transactions in top priority.

So the reason why I didn't send out her dress was because I kept forgetting to bring her parcel to post. And by the time I get back the post office would've already closed. Aaaaand cos I thought that if I were to wait for another girl to pay up then I can send out both of the parcels at once.

Now I'm losing out cos I gave her free postage cos I sked I'll lose customers uhuhu.

Maybe I should set a day for delivering parcels. Like Monday. So that if you pay on Monday night then too bad you have to wait till next Monday for your item to be sent, that sorta thing? But then again that will kill the business instead of easing my load.

I know all signs are screaming at me to get another business partner (preferably one who doesn't follow the Australian semester dates), but then again. I don't wanna put another friend through more profit sharing disputes.




Anyhoo yes I gotta go study Trade Forex. If I fail this one I can kiss my IB major goodbye even after sitting for International Financial Management twice. Haih.

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas

"Can't you just wear a black dress and a hat and get it over with?" complained Mozzer when I told her I wanted to dress as a celebrity for Halloween. She didn't know who Katy Perry was.


How do you like my mother's new name? Mozzer. Tres Francais! Magnifique! Ooh-la-la! *cough*

Aaaaanyway since y'all are groaning about me not showing you how my banana turned out, I am sacrificing valuable How I Met Your Mother time study time to blog about this.

And I haven't even blogged about my day trip in Singapore's Mint Toy Museum.

So yeah. Here's how I did my Halloween costume.

I used Tasty Cherry Chapstick's white romper which was a halter tie, perfect for me to attach the banana.

I couldn't find a DIY banana tutorial so I had to rely on my own insane creativity for this. Quite proud of myself don't mess. It took me roughly about 4-5 hours in total?


DIY BANANA FOR KATY PERRY'S VMA ROMPER

Here's what I used for the banana:

1. 1 metre gold satin cloth
2. 1/2 metre white felt
3. Gold sequins
4. Pearl sequins (not shown)
5. Gold... errrh.. I dunno what's it called. Hemming? Lining? I bought one type first, then bought another design for the inside of the banana peel
6. UHU glue. Lots and lots of it (also not shown)

I had a template ready, so I just traced it out and cut two banana shapes from the white felt. Mozzer saw this picture and sniggered "Ngehehe like sanitary pad!" -___-" Well what you should do is to cut one of it into half for the banana peel.

So for the banana peel, the gold satin cloth should be bigger than the white felt. For obvious reasons.

So what I did was to envelope the white felt meant for the banana peel with the gold satin cloth. This is to make the peel a bit more structured. I had no time to sew (if your name is HiI'mJackie then you would know my sewing sucks balls) so I just UHU'ed the thing together. Which is also a pain cos I had to hide the ends by folding it in so the satin won't fray.

So voila, one part of the peel done! It looks sorta good here cos it's the front, but when you turn it back... well let's just say that I am not posting a macro picture of the back of the peel because JulianMC might just faint in horror.

But yay! I finally managed to complete both sides of the peel! The next step is pretty easy, glue the peel to the piece of white felt that's still whole. Remember to leave half of it unglued so you can unpeel your banana! Try it on for size so it will open up as much as you want it to.

So it starts to look more like a banana. Err okay you can see the inside of the banana peel but it looks okay here cos the peel is photogenic. Really.

Glamify time! I stuck gold sequins and used the hemming/lining to create some shadowing effect on the banana peel. If you look closely you can see that the paper I'm using to hold the sequins is actually the receipt for the materials I bought for the banana.

Then it's time for the inside of the banana! Used some leftover sequins from the Rotaract Halloween Installation. I sorta ran out of UHU glue at this time, so I used UHU Happy glue. Which is like ordinary water glue. It surprisingly worked quite well.

So here's the end product. Unpeeled banana lookin kinda Adam Lambert-y. Like a glittery gay, I meant.

When unnpeeled! Note the inner hemming/lining to hide some of its horrific creases.



Macro?

Me at the ASD Halloween Bazaar! I pinned the entire banana on my romper. So when I had to go to the toilet I needed to unpin one side of the peel. "Now everyone will know I need to pee when they see my banana half closed," I grumbled to Mozzer. She guffawed.

Super unflattering picture of me and one of the dresses I'm selling. Asian squint with flabby curves muwuwu FML.


Now you notice my hair is still the same ole Leeza hair? That's cos Mozzer didn't allow me to put on my Katy Perry hairbow, and I'm too darn lazy to curl my hair.

Hairbow in question. It's kinda big and she said I looked crazy with it on.

I didn't take pictures of the process of making the bow, but I learnt how to make it from some tutorial I Googled. Quite easy actually. But I didn't measure, I just went ahead with it so that's why it came out quite... frivolous. And yeah it was stuck together with UHU glue.



So if you make it send me pictures of how it looks like! You may do a better job than I did!

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Here I was, ready to get to bed when I got an epiphany.

Like Homer Simpson, but I didn't need any tree branches to slap me for it.

I finally know what I want to be for Halloween.

So I didn't want to splurge on a Sailor Mars costume, neither did I want to fall in line with the some other girls who plan to be nurses. Plus I don't have a stethoscope. I could borrow Nirmal's or something, but I'm afraid I'll spoil it or something heehee

Are you ready kids?

I'm going as Katy Perry! Here's the unpeeled banana romper.


Peel open to reveal white banana!

Wah and then if I want to I can say that there's a hidden meaning to the banana where I cannot speak Chinese and all... but I think people will just ignore me haha

So I'm going to try recreate the Julie Mollo banana romper design. Good thing the white romper hasn't been sold yet!

I'm telling you now so you won't copy! So don't even try!!!

Okai going to sleep nao.
