guys say the darnest things

Today, I wore a green chiffon sheer blouse with nothing underneath (except for a bra, of course) as I thought that a camisole will serve to detract the beauty of the color.

Unfortunately, the response I received was less than complimentary. Someone said I looked like a beetlenut girl. No offence against beetlenut girls in Taiwan - but he just didn't mean it in a positive way. Wawawa..... 

Yay, I'm on holiday tomorrow! It's the Sultan's birthday...Chennie, don't be too jealous of me okay, I will be back on Tuesday! :-)

the weekend that was

This was what I wore yesterday to a newborn's full moon party. I figured that bright colors are appropriate for happy, joyous ocassions like these! The shirt is made of silk and it's rather loose but I think it's meant to be oversized to achieve that casual, breezy look.

I saw "Bad Teacher" on DVD yesterday and I want Cameron Diaz's wardrobe in the movie! Although the movie got panned by critics and received a 5.8 rating on imdb.com, I enjoyed it very much. I liked the fact that she was a bitch, had very few redeeming qualities and made no apologies about it. I cannot stand "Mary Sues" - fictional characters that can do no wrong and has every male fawning over her physical good looks and her heart full of love, compassion, kindness and virtue.

I am currently reading Haruki Murakami's IQ84. He used to be my favorite author (I reread Kafka on the Shore many, many times), but I'm not sure if that's still prevalent. Maybe I've become lazier and can no longer digest long, epic novels.

I also made a strawberry slice cake and packed some for the boyfriend (if you've been following my entries closely, you'd picked up that we had a spat recently which resulted in us not seeing or speaking to each other for appoximately 14 days). Sc-hweet!!

rawr!

I wore this to work yesterday - my pussy bow leopard print blouse which I purchased a couple of weeks back. It was well received by my colleagues; someone even commented that I looked like one of the partners in the firm which was a huge compliment (to me anyway) because she's got some style!

Tomorrow is casual Friday at work so I'll be wearing my skinnies and because the weather is cool these days I'll also throw in a navy blazer for good measure :-). Bring on the weekend, I wanna do some baking, make a card for one of my best friend's birthday in December and watch DVDs. For those who haven't seen it, please go watch Melancholia - if only for the opening and closing scenes. The final shots totally blew me away. A few nights ago, I could relate to how Kristen Dunst's character's felt before the planet collided with Earth - calm, serene and accepting of her fate. Tonight, not so much. As humans, our natural instinct is to survive and thrive, whatever challenges that may come our way.

the week in photos...

sunny sunday

Today, I did a little bit of this (like 25 minutes in total?). I really should be doing more of this and less of whatever I am presently doing (browsing and blogging).

And I wore this to run some errands and chores (you know like banking - paying debts to be more specific!). This is my favourite weekend uniform - denim cutoffs (not store bought, it was really cut out from a pair of jeans by my mom), Country Road pin-striped shirt (I love long sleeved shirts that can be worn casually as opposed to being worn as formal wear. In fact, I no longer even wear shirts to the office, they don't flatter my body when worn with high waisted skirts as the proportions look weird. The shirt is too loose but the skirt is too tight) and some Havs slippers or ballet flats. Speaking of which, I'm looking for a pair of leopard print ballet flats. Rawr! Oh and I forgot, my newly acquired Bayswater satchel! *Hearts*
