Confessions of a Shopaholic!

I.
Need.
Some.
Intervention.

Someone sign me up for shopaholic anonymous!

Goodness.
Let's see, I just got pink-spired by Katy Perry and Olivia Ong (spotted those M&M nails on Yi en too!)
Fuchsia Nail Polish with Drama Queen and Picture Perfect!
 Don't you just love the UBU purple eye defining brush and fuchsia stippling brush, 20% off at Watsons, I spotted these just beside Eco Tools Makeup Brushes. (rare find in SG!) As much as I would love to get ET brushes, the crazy girl wants it pink! And there were cheaper heh.. Will these bring me closer to the youtube make-up gurus? Erm I'm still pretty clueless ;P

Last night, Aloysius and I discovered how hip Cineleisure turned out to be. Thanks to Sebastian who posted in FB the cooly pink hello kitty hi-cut sneakers from VANS. A shopaholic will do what she gotta do. Make a beeline for it!

Alas, the smallest size was 2 sizes too big for me, they only had it in 39 when i'm a 37. Boohoo ;(
Still, that wasn't an excuse not to spend some $$ .. ahem ;X

My spoils for the day:

Party like a ROCKSTAR!! it's $19 from the ultra-hip Rockstar by Soon Lee shop

I got this and another similar sexier top which has bigger holes than fabric haha from FemmeX @$17.50 

Since we're on the subject of shopping, we were away at Malacca 2 weekends ago. It was cheap cheap cheap! (this is Singaporean speak when we're traveling abroad)

Smart Chicks Rule, a cheap and chick T that Aloysius chose for me at the fave FOS ;D

Got this sweet little tank top from a street stall along Jonker Street going for RM7 for 2!! Why did i only get 1? haha

I chanced upon Public Library Tees at FOS (Sex and the City series), cool or what! Going for only RM33?! And hidden shly behind those Tees were Tokidoki Hello Kitty in PINK and in SMALL size. I was feeling as gleeful as a bee :D

Well folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
You have been warned!


Let's give it up for August!

It has been decided, August is the month of the year 2011!
Such an unprecedented occurrence since the dawning of my blog.
We have seen not 13, not 14 but *drumroll* 15 blog entries! Woot!
September 2010 finished closely with 13 entries but that was when things just got started and I was just releasing the pent-up inspiration?! haha

Dear August, this song is just for you <3

Gone in 20mins!

fo shizzle my nizzle?
First of all, US Futures fell, so did the rest of Europe.
MTD jobless reports have been the highest in a month.
BOFA is involved in a legal tussle.
Bloomberg's headline reads: US Stocks Tumble on Global Growth concerns and showing a picture of distressed dealers with a head of white or no hair at all.
Oh and DJI and S&P 500 lost over 4% in the 1st hour of trading.

I must be going bonkers to even think of embarking on this!

My broker probably doesn't take me seriously at all, well, he did make quite a tidy commission from me this month.



The squinty eye candy man and smurfs

I had "I like It" Apple Pie while he had Banana Caramel.
Oh and before this post I had spicy popcorn chicken. Plus a donut for brekkie and fried wanton noodles for lunch.
Goodness gracious, I'm no closer to Nicole Scherzinger's body :S













The giants mocked the smurfs and tried to gatecrash the smurfs' party!

Oh and I spotted this amusing scene amidst the smurfs' soccer game!

In retrospect

I sat in front of my lappie looking at this screen from 2040 till 2352.
My eyes were like saucers at 2115 when I got confused with the SGX timings, I gobbled a Magnum Almond in minutes to calm my jitters.
Watching the numbers dance from 7.43 (pre-market) 7.35 7.42 7.53 7.57.
My pulse was racing and my palms were sweaty while fighting the impulse to hit the Buy at 7.35-7.38.
The NYSE ain't for the weak-hearted and buttery fingers.
In retrospect, what were the events and conclusions that could have foreseen this jump?
Bloomberg reported that Stock futures were up.
BAC is liquidating it's Canadian CC division, relieving itself of $1.1 billion in debt and $8-9 billion in assets?
Google is acquiring Motorola Mobility, allowing Nokia Corp to jump on the bandwagon.

Luck + Timing + Courage + Emotional Detachment + Diligence
