Twin Power

Imagine that you have an identical twin sister. Would you think that your sister would be smarter than you? Would you be jealous? What if she was more fashionable? Would you share clothes and shoes and bags? Would you date another pair of twins? What if she stole your Bvlgari perfume? Would you want to be Mary Kate or Ashley? Do you know they are not identical twins? What if she was bipolar? Or bulimic? Do you think the chances that you are one too are high? Would you make out with your twin? Would you slap her if she told mum you brought Henry/Peter/Andrew home when our parents were away? What if shes more fucked up than you are? What if youre thrifty and shes oblivious? Does it matter?

Is that creepy?

Anyway, that poncho-like top is DIY from a shawl. I guess I have to sacrifice that shawl into good use as living in Singapore disallows (is there even such word) me from wearing it.

I am still having a good relationship with my bleached pants. Can't seem to part with it. Best friends for life.

Oh yes my ridiculous denim necklace is making its debut here. I think its the ugliest handmade jewellery I've ever made. But it gives this whimsical kind of effect to the whole outfit. My purpose of wearing clothes is to look stupid and not perfect. (wtf since when?)

If I were a celebrity I would wear a dinosaur carcass to the red carpet. Bjork did it with a poultry. Imogen Heap did it with a garden.

I'm doing a selling post soon. Support me if you could!

I always look shocked

You probably have that shirt because I'm human like you (still not convinced I'm an extraterrestial being) and its hanging in abundance in Bugis. But you probably don't have that denim ridiculous frivilous necklace because I made it. You probably have a similar denim cut-offs because its so versatile and cost me $3. But maybe you don't have that elf shoes because Catherine got it for me in Hong Kong.

I'm crazy about this bag by Natural Flight. Its yellow, adjustable detachable straps and has 11 COMPARTMENTS. Convenience or utilization or both?

WHY YOU NEED A GAP (DON'T KNOW HOW- SORRY NO TUTORIAL FOR GAP TEETH)

Lara Stone - (kinda sick of her boobs already)

Hayley William (Paramore) - Anti- Ashlee Simpsons and Avril Lavigne

Madonna - ______________.

Jane Birkin - I can't find any decent photo of her smiling when she was much younger. All I found was naked photos and more naked photos of her. :(/:)

Sometimes Scene

Been really busy with school. Don't like it *kicks the dustbin*<<<<<<<

that is irrelevant. I did some DIY projects but didn't have the time to take good pictures of it. Need a tripod, need a good camera, need some money and need a good time!!!

Anyway maybe here's my wishlist for the month (why for the month? why not for a week or for a year? The answer is I don't know) <<<<<<

so irrelevant

Skull mask by Hot Topic, Vampire lips shirt by Hot Topic, Tripp pants by Hot Topic.

And why I love Hot Topic even more (not just because of the hot scene chicks),

THIS IS GENIUS! CREEPERS HEELS?!?!?! I CHOKED ON MY POTATO CHIPS WHEN I SAW THIS.

Holy cow look at curves.

Lastly, some good music for the ears!

Poisonous Food

Apparently, I do eat. Its funny. By the way I look, people often perceive that I have eating disorder. But I do eat. And I'm not so skinny. I am actually chubby. Wait, does that make me have ED? I think I used to have it. Until I got gastric problems and it made me feel like shit. Until I grew to be really hairy, until my body rejected the food. But I don't think I have it now. Look, I'm eating 6 times a day. I cook my own food! I even do customization on my food. See how obsessed I am in DIY. Yesterday I went to the extent of boiling my own stock from scratch (prawn shells, garlic, onions and carrots-boil for 2 fuckin hours!) and pounding my own peppercorns instead of using the ready-made ones. Today, I made Spacecakes from Hell (of course without the _______). My version of spacecake looks like this

My family don't get it why I bake these muffins. They don't get it why I have to make my food look so toxic and weird.

I just think everything could be abit more fun. I nearly silk screen my own pancakes. Anyway, I'm going to post a tutorial on these muffins because my friends RaVe AbOuT It yA'll. Its actually really easy, easier if you use Betty Crocker pre-mix Yellow Cake but life is less meaningful if you use Betty Crocker.

Basic Yellow Cake

Part A

- 1 3/4 Mug of Plain flour, sifted

- 1 Mug of sugar

- 1 tbsp baking powder

- pinch of salt

Part B

- 1 Mug of milk

- 1/2 Mug of sweet condensed milk

- 3 eggs, room temperature

- 3/4 Mug vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavour

Instructions

Set oven to 190 degree celcius.

Mix part A together in one container and mix part B together in another container.

Add in part B to part A.....and then stir.

So now you got a basic yellow cake batter. Divide them into 3 parts if you want 3 colours. 100 parts if you want 100 colours. I got like 4 or 5 colours.

5. Get ready ur muffin tray. Layer by layer in different colours add in to your baking tray. I got mine with red for the first layer, yellow for second, green third, neon pink fourth and blue fifth. Use only 1 tablespoon of the batter for each colour. This is how it look like before baking

Bake for 20mins.

Recently I have this obsession with Little India. Nothing beats eating indian street savouries which cost a dollar, fresh naans, beautiful temples and meditating. Here's one outfit I wore for the meditation session

Batik shirt got it for free, that colourful scarf is from my bucket bag, bleached diy pants and sandals I got from KL.

HOW TO MAKE A BAG OUT OF YOUR OLD LONG SLEEVES SHIRT OR YOUR ANNOYING SISTER'S LONG SLEEVES SHIRT.

1)First, turn the shirt inside out. Sew the bottom part of the shirt (look at the pins). If by hand, sew it twice so it will be more secure when you place heavier stuffs.

2) Turn it on the right side again through the neck hole. Measure about 1cm from the middle of the back neckline and fold it in. Fold throughout the shoulder width. Sew along the line marked by the pins.

3) Measure about 9cm-11cm from the top of the sewn neckline to below and fold it in like this.

4) That part is the flap of the bag. Sew the folded side of the sleeves so it will be attached to the flap.

5) Merge the tip of both sleeves together by sewing. And then cut a straight line where you want the opening of the bag to be (under the flap of course).

YOURE DONE!

You like lace?

100% lace dress. Here's an upclose

Recently, my cousin who previously owned DitzyTreasures let me inherit her collection of wearable "treasures" she collected since her polytechnic days. The lot of vintage dresses and skirts weighed about slightly more than 10kg including a few bags and a pair of shoe. And that shoe is no ordinary shoe because

ITS A VINTAGE ETIENNE AIGNER

I'm so lucky. Got everything for free. Don't need to go shopping for at least 6months.

Excited for Spring collections? Yeah me too. While checking out Hermès Spring RTW 09, I can't deny that the collection look like the Apache hippie video. Watch the video and you'll get it.

If you want to know how I'm feeling like now, its exactly like that keyboardist in that video except that I'm not high on any substance.

Save the ________.

You must've think I'm crazy, but I thank God that I'm never born rich. In fact, I come from a middle income family where there is no such thing as discretionary income for specialty goods. I'm far less from being demanding or oblivious towards the lifestyle I'm living in.
Why am I being so grateful for being poor?
Its because I realised that the lack of money or the condition I'm living in has made me to what I am now. As I could not even afford a pair of Aldo heels or a Zara blazer, I find other alternatives like make my own clothes or shop at thrift stores. I started doing it about 4 years ago and then it became a habit. Its thrilling and fun to scout for unique genuine pieces. It tests my ability to recreate that old off-beat shirt into a whole different new interpretation. They say another man's trash is another man's holy grail. Sometimes I do get disappointed because theres nothing I fancy or not in my size. But most times I leave the Salvation Army with a giant smile plastered on my face.

Maybe if I were rich, I would be less creative and innovative. Maybe I would wear head to toe Topshop, tote a Chanel 2.55 because its Chanel (asked daddy for it) and it could "offset" my boring (but expensive)outfit or tie my Alexander Mcqueen scarf at every possible hole because Nicole Richie has it. Its because I could afford anything and people tend to wear labelled clothes as it is and less likely to do any customization except for matching them with vintage pieces or layering which is getting very lame. I mean its not ugly or wrong but its just....uninspirational or original.
I rather see someone wearing This Fashion from head to toe looking confident and knows her shit rather than someone who has a wardrobe of CDG and wearing it because every Ah Bengs has the shirt ( you know which one I'm talking about ).

Also, you could save the environment by buying second hand clothes or reinventing used clothes. Read this article (no.22 and no.34). I mean I'm not the go-green type of person but for sure I'm not a type of person who waste resources. I love beef too much and going totally organic is abit too far fetched for me.

So yeah, when you buy second hand clothes you 1)save the environment, 2) save money, 3) donate to Salvation Army if applicable.

AND ITS THE RECESSION PERIOD!! SUCK THAT
