While easyjournal was down for 5 days, I lost patience with it and moved to http://callalilybouquets.blogspot.com

Why is it important to dress well? Because it says loads about your personality. It's not about being vain, but its about being presentable. I've learnt that we don't have to be stick-thin to look good, because there're hot big girls as well. I commit the occasional fashion faux pas as well, but as much as possible, lets try to avoid it.

To look fashionable:
1) Make sure that your clothes fit well. We are all blessed with different bodies, and only a very very very selected body type can look good in baggy clothes.

2) Make sure that your colours coordinate. Easier said than done. It's one thing to stand out from the crowd, but make you you're not an eyesore. Know which colour palette suits your skin tone, and mix the colours well. I look best in white, cream, brown, gold, warm pinks (meaning rose red, and light pinks), and I look disastrous in turquoise, purple, orange, lemon yellow and silver because of my skin tone. A good outfit colour scheme will have the colours in the outfit complement one another, and there shouldnt be more than one loud colour. For example, its ok to have gold earrings, a gold handbag and gold shoes, only if the outfit is white or black and there are no other loud bling bling. Don't pair colours like bright pink/bright orange/lime green/red or any other bright colour in a single outfit.

3) wear makeup to all non-casual events. "Natural" or "nude" doesn't equate to no make up. It refers to the applying of base, foundation, blush, light eyeshadow, and mascara, at least.

4) Have your own sense of uncopiable style. If what you're wearing is the exact outfit as 10 other people along the short stretch of Orchard Road that you walk down, please cut up or discard whatever you're wearing.

5)However, there is a place for fashion trend victims in this world. If you love following fashions, first, ask yourself if you look nice in that particular piece of clothing. If not, dont follow the trend. If you still insist on doing so, then please discard that piece of clothing once the trend is over.

6) If you really don't know what to wear plus don't care, then stick to the very safe basics.

7) overdressing is perfectly ok, unless you're meeting your boyfriend's parents for something very very casual.

8) Don't overspend on things not worth overspending on. Many high-end stores actually have clothing of copiable cut and mediocre material. Look at the cut, material and quality, not the brand.

I love this song! I wanna be a rich rockstar too.



I'm through with standin' in line
To clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
(Yeah, so what you need)

I'll need a... a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet(Been there, done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, *laughs*)

I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me

(So how you gonna do it?)

I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar


I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a Pez dispenser


Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip synch 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong


Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
Today's who's who
They'll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial,well

Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Usually I don't like writing about how sick I am and all that because it sounds retardedly seek-attentionish.. But I fell sick today and it really affected my plans! Had to cancel dinner with jonlin cos I felt very weak and achy =( Then I got home and slept for about 3 hours, then when I woke up, mum gave me this medicine which smelt like the lemon air refreshener in some taxi- the concentrated version. Damn gross!

According to Wenjian, the past few days of cold weather was brought about by the effects of La Nina- a phenomena I've studied for both A levels and in last sem but still completely do not understand. Anyway, I'm just glad about the warm weather now!

Looks like I've a busy week ahead. Worked hard on my sociology paper this weekend, and plan to finish up two geography essays, physical geography tutorial, and thai homework, then going out with Jonlin on wed and to celebrate Freesia's birthday on friday! hahaha I'm really looking forward to having a buffet..
