I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Jacket H&M | Skirt Hurwendeki | Shirt Uniqlo Men | Shoes Bronx | Bag Mama’s Pollini

You know, I tried answering some Q&A questions these few days but I just can’t get around doing them, sorry Angry Frequent Visitor, I don’t have the time and energy right this moment. I have 2 major projects running side by side (occasionally one knocking the other over, snickering as it overtakes) and designwork from the Netherlands. This is my fourth night up and seriously I’m running on a bagfull of E000 chemicals and turkish delights of questionable source. I’ve got fat baubles hanging on my face like some christmas tree, and looks to me that I’m growing a second pair of butts just sitting at the laptop for hours on end.

So that’s one answered question at least – Why won’t I post the rest of the Q&A? – Because life says hey bumhead, PRIORITIZE.

On another note, thank you Sara from Public Personae for asking me ‘what I’m into right now’!

    you know, i’ve been wondering the same lately about the bloggers with non-asian boyfs. i’m working on a theory. will report back later when i have something conclusive!

    you look perfect here! very tough biker chic (boots and leather jacket) but prairie girl innocent (plaid and that cutesy skirt).

    i completely feel you on the fat baubles and the butts (though i see none of either in your photos). i’ve taken so many exams and practicals lately and it shows. i was pulling (emphasis on the word “pulling”) a pair of jeans on this morning that i haven’t worn in 2 weeks. bad idea. fat pad in my rear, yayyy.

    You sound crazy busy! Remember to sleep and drink lots of water (the two things that I often over look when I get too busy haha!) PS Thank you for the gmarket guide. I’m obsessed with looking around, but a little too nervous to purchase anything yet haha.
    Also, I think the first photo is the best one I’ve ever seen of you. SO pretty. And I really love your jacket.

    i see none of this ‘fat bauble’ business hanging on your face muh dear. i like the combination of angry-esque boots with that full skirt :D
    as for the salad dinner trend? that would be a definite fail for me. lets start a NEW dinner trend. any suggestions?

    good luck with yo projects!

    gd weeeeee! ugh, I’m so so bad at deadlines. good luck. remember to take frequent 15 second breaks and look AWAY from the screen. I learned that in school ;) Your boots are kick ass and so is the lil red hat.

    I LOVE Douglas Coupland! Have you read The Gum Thief? It’s one of my favourite of his books by far.
    The jacket and skirt combo is really nice.

    ahhh i still love that red hat!! you know I never had 닭다리 until yesterday. the packaging sold me.. yeah i’m a sucker for weird asian packaging haha.

    the peach emma cooks may be impractical but soooo springy and cute.. I was almost tempted to get myself a white pair at the NY topshop but i slapped my hand as i reached for my cc. bad gennie bad. haha.

    i’m sorry about your stress, but on the bright side at least you look SUPER NICE ohman. those boots. i want to do vile and depraved things to them. i want to get to KNOW THEM (in a biblical way!) i want to (other super subtle sexual come-ons etc etc)

    and frankly i think a second pair of butts would do good, i know i can speak for not only myself but my fellow asian sistas when talkin bouts my FLAT AS A PANCAKE BUM

    It’s good to prioritize, last few weeks of school or so are always madness, calling for no sleep and all. On a lighter note, I love your outfit, the skirt is perfect. Makes me kick myself for not having the perfect leather jacket

    May 12, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    i’m feeling in a similar way myself. good luck getting it all done. love the boots and the little red hat, oh and those stone ice cubes – they work so well!

    Douglas Coupland is… Amazing. He graduated from the same art school I did. The best thing about his books (for me) is that a lot of his novels are set in Vancouver, our native city, so I know exactly what and where he’s talking about.

    Loving the lace up, mesh wedges too… So gorgeous.

    Those shoes sort of trip me out. Oh, and don’t worry yourself about the Christmas tree face- until you start lighting up, I think you’re safe. You’re still looking damn stylish despite the hecticity..yes I’m pretty sure I made that word up.

    hate hate hate projects too. i have tons of projects running at the same time.
    but im sad to say, the devil part of my brain always wins the battle of prioritizing.
    which explains why im here.

    do you know how the sizing at opening ceremony runs?
    the mesh-lace wedge boot that you posted up is gorgeous.
    but im not too sure about the sizing at OC.
    im a topshop shoe UK size 7. ginormous feet.
    but what size would you recommend for the shoes?

    lovely outfit by the way. might copy and tweak it to suit the tropical heat of singapore. ^^

    Hiya Regan, I never owned OC shoes really, ever! Those are some things that I’m just into, but I don’t own them ;) Sorry I can’t help :(
