Why must all good things come to an end?

If you havent heard, Lee (Alexander) McQueen
passed away on the 11th Febuary this year.
It has been revealed that he committed suicide,
simply days after his elderly mother passed away.

Alexander McQueen is probably the most raved about
fashion designer of the Noughties, every thing about his
collections scream originality, haute haute haute couture.
there is no denying this guy had talent.
I mean. come on. Noone but him could make a runway show
THAT worth waiting with bated breath for.
Every single one of his creations were exquisite, breathtaking.
Here are my favourite A McQueen collections/pieces.

Does everyone remember all the rage with his skull scarves
around end 2006?
My, those things were AMAZING.
I absolutely fell in love with then when they came out.
Ugg. Minus the price of course.
So I got a cheap knockoff.. which I still wear.. with GUILT.
In those days, I swear everyone owned a McQueen scarf, and
these cult scarves will never get old.
Till today, the scarves are classic McQueen.

Although McQueen scarves are now a sign of conformity,
these two seem to never get the concept wrong.

Nicole Richie, A. McQueen Skull Scarf.

Mary-kate Olsen, A. McQueen Skull scarf.

Then remember the CRAZY lace cutout dress Drew Barrymore
wore last year to her movie premiere for Whip It?
(Straight off the runway.)


Doesnt she look splendid?
(Ups to Drew for dress choice, AND the Chanel nail colour.
Both in season at the time. But minus the racoon hair.)
Just look at the lace pattern.
Mind boggling I tell you.

And last but not least,
A McQueen's S/S 2010 Collection : PLATO'S ATLANTIS.
Dayum this collection was sizzling.
It took fashion to futuristic new heights,
his new collection inspired by the idea of ecological
breakdown in the future, and how humankind would then
be morphed into armour-headed breeds of sea mosters.
Well if that was the plan, I'd gladly be usurped
into this day and age just to get my hands on some of
that disgustingly amazing Couture.
And also, who could forget it when Lady Gaga hyped up the
phenomenon even more by donning at least 4 outfits from the
entire runway collection in the video of her undeniably catchy
new single, Bad Romance.




At least we still have these amazing photos to look back on,
to prove that we were a part of the time when fashion changed its
course for good.
Alexander McQueen was the future of fashion, and now
he will go down in history.

Of superstition and prosperity.

Happy Chinese New Year, all.
Wishing you all a prosperous New Year,
and hope you're having more fun than me..
Cause noone celebrates the New Year here.
But at least I learnt to GAMBLE! play mahjong.
:)

You know I really want to be back in Miri with
you guys having a blast like we did last year. but sigh.
Damned Chinese leap year, it would be impossible for me to leave
at this time.
Just know that I miss you guys veryveryvery much...
And I'm terribly envious of the fun you guys will have
on our annual outings. ;(
And although i might not get to see everyone together
again after this year, I really do hope we have another
New Year together.
Neways, have an amazing year of the TIGEEEER..
and dont forget...

恭禧發財, 紅包拿來!!!!!!!!

Change, change, change.

Change - The Young Veins
She was acting pretty, thought she owned the city
Someone should have told her that pretty ain't a job
Now she begs for money, no one calls her "Honey"
As she bothers shoppers in the parking lot.

Gets her karma with a catch
Forget superstition by wearing it backwards
Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats
Some people never change, they just stay the same way

I swear like a sailor, love is not a flavor
I find it's just a concept that we live inside
And if you can agree with me and Mr. Twain
In matters of opinion, our rivals are insane

Forget superstition by wearing it backwards
Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats
Some people never change, they just stay the same way
Change change change.



When this song first came out, I was convinced it
would be a flop, and a bad move.
But I must say not long after I found myself
humming along to its Seargent Peppers-esque
preppy tune.
And now I absolutely LOVE IT :)
Staying true to the spirit of Pretty. Odd. ,
I reckon Ryan and Jon are doing pretty well on their own.
Ry's voice, although rather pitchy and thin,
is PERFECT for these songs and his singing ability
was always overshadowed by Bren's deep sultry crooning.
But tbh, Im still Team Panic. heh.
YouTube and enjoy it, people.

pish posh.

Hit the gym today for the first time since Fri..
sorrrrry Cityfitness.
And dayum I hate the fact that I seem to have
deteriorated in terms of stamina
cause I just glanced at the treadmill today,
and practically fainted.
LOL.
So my usual 15 minute run was probably out of the questiooon..
And even worse, having your trainer that you've been
trying to avoid for so long finally catch up to you
and see you exercising on the least challenging
piece of equipment in the gym..
Heh.
Dont lie James. I saw that look on your face.
(He's going to torture me again next Monday. shit.)

But yes, before this self inflicted torture,
I took Eden down to Newmarket to show her around,
so she could walk down by herself next time
if she needed anything important.
And haaaah!
Guess who we saw on the side of the road by the electricity generator,
holding a King size bar of Cadbury's Black Forest..
Yes, Rhys.
Last year, me and Shanay were walking to the dairy while discovering
him in the exact same place, at the exact same time..
also with a King sized Cadbury's Black Forest.
Lol does anyone spot a pattern here?
Or maybe I'm just weird cause I pick people up
off the side of the streets and start talking animatedly to them
and then eat their food. :D
He prattled on as usual and Eden, whos only met him for the first time,
thought he was on drugs.
But then again, whats new? haha.
Oh well. At least now I can give him his postcard on Friday.

Okay. back to Eden.
Neways, I managed to convince her to buy some food to take
back to her room in the hostel, seeing as they serve food that
probably (how do I put this nicely) isn't to her normal fancy.
(OR THEY SERVE SLIMY LAMB!)
hem hem.
So yes, now she has some snacks that can keep her going till
nighttime I guess.
Poor thing. :(
Its like I want to help, but I dont know how to.
At least she's going to live with her Aunt this weekend for the
New Year, and there she'll be looked after properly.
To Premjit, Scott, Shelly Belly and all those people back home,
yes I'm taking good care of her. I think. loool. :)
She's fitting in just fine, arent you Eden?

asdfghjkl;'
Nothing to do here for the New Year.
This sucks.
Video call me someone?
By the way Scott, please say Hi and Happy CNY to
Miss Lim for me. :)
Thanks dude.

I talk to myself. A lot.

Bleh bleh.
My social life is just nonexistent atm
cause there's soooooo much to dooooooo!
Ughhhh. The only free time I get, I spend
it tending my jalapeno pepper and cabbage plant(s)..
Lol. Sad I know.
But hey, its like free salad.
Which is a-ok to me.
So atm I have ONE jalapeno that should be ready in 3 weeks.
Its soooooo cute!
Yes, small things amuse small minds.






Neways, seeing these photos make me want to
take Stanley out into the outside world a little more.
For those of you who dont know, no, Stanley isnt
my little cousin who I keep captive in my wardrobe,
but my shmexxxxxay, sort of neglected as of late
Canon DSLR.
We used to have such good times.
Ugggg. Wish I was in picturesque Europe agaaaaain.
There's nothing exciting to capture here..
Or at least I dont do anything exciting anymore that
makes me wanna take photos.
Thats not actually an excuse is it?
heh. Sorry Stanleeeey!
I'll put you to some good use pretty soon, I promise.
And yes. I do name all of my personal belongings even if
they are inanimate objects. But please dont say that in front
of Demetrius, the iPod, cause I think that it would hurt his feelings.

I cant remember what object I used to call Lionel.
I'm sure it will come to me someday.
And oh, if you're wondering why they're all boys names,
well.. I dont know. Its just the way i ro-o-o-o-o-o-oll.

Winter had better come soon.

Lookbook is one of my many new obsessions atm. haha
And sigh. If only all men dressed this way..
I love how understated his look is, and damn.
Throw that on a girl and she'd look equally good.
Ah, the magic of androgyny ♥
(and Zara Mens. lol)

gleek!

Also, season finale of Glee today.
:( sadsadsadsadsad.
Wish we had a cool drama club with the likes
of Kurt and Mercedes. Pregnant cheerleader,
not so much.



...
Season 2?
