*** D&D 2010 ***


As touched up by Jeff n he titled it "Beautiful Princess" =)





The theme for this year's D&D was Shanghai Nite...n it was held at a Chinese restaurant...gosh...i didnt know what i gonna wear to the D&D manz...cos cheongsam would b the last thing tt i could imagine myself wearing =.=" i even contemplated wearing a kimono there...lol ;p but i already wore a pretty pink kimono to D&D a few years ago when the theme was International Nite o.O

So leechie pop ovr to Chinatown...hoping to find some hip cheongsam-inspired clothes to suit the theme o.O well, i found a red halter top cheongsam top n called my leechie mum...she was like ---> "In red? gosh, dont they have some other colors? u'll end up looking like a waitress if u were to wear this red cheongsam top!" so a leechie put back the red halter cheongsam top...there were plenty of other traditional cheongsam dresses n tops...stuff tt i could nvr imagine myself wearing =.=" hmmm, i was walking around...browsing thru lotsa cheongsam stuff...until i saw this blue cheongsam top with gold trimmings...hmmm, then a light bulb lit up in my leechie head...in a split second...i knew what i gonna wear to D&D...lol ;p

So leechie wore this blue cheongsam top with short denim skirt n lace leggings with knee boots to d&d ;p btw, some american stylist said tt leechie resembles a japanese clown on wed...well, i would rather be clownish than boring =.=" at least, i'm the one n only leechie...i'm unique...it's ur problem if u have a problem with that...not mine =.="



Btw, wanna guess the cost of my cheongsam top? ;p guesses from my fb frenz ranged from $9.90 to $500...o.O but the price tag of this cheongsam top is only $4.90! sounds unbelievable ya? but tt's the actual price ;p hmmm, sometimes it isnt so much abt the price of the clothes...but more of the person wearing it ya? ;p btw, here's a fb fren's response after finding out the actual cost of my cheongsam top ->
"Way to go, leechie
The trick is to know where to buy at ridiculously low prices and look like a million letting others think you pay an astronomical sum!"

My leechie mum actually thot i'm going clubbing after d&d n asked me to bring my ID card with me...juz in case tt they dont allow me into the clubs cos i look underaged...but leechie aint feeling well n clubbing's not on my agenda tonite =.=" but think i can pass of as the door bitch of some clubs with my dressing tonite...lol o.O" guess i could only say tt i attracted attention not only at my function...but on my way there too =.=" noticed some guys staring at me -.-" but i'm not wearing anything too revealing...it's juz fusion dressing...perhaps might b more appropriate for clubbing...or what the door bitch might wear...lol ;p but some of the door bitches r v.casually dressed these days...hmmm, but i dont really dress up when i go to clubs these days cos some clubs r abit "not too dressy" ya...esp the crowds there...u get what i mean ya ;p

Didnt book any appointment with any hair salons...so i juz rushed ovr to a nearby salon to get my leechie hair blown before D&D...well, i told tt stylist tt i was running late n told him to hurry up...but he still took more than 50min to blow my hair...could see tt he was trying v.hard to make it look nice...yet my hair was still flat at the back...sometimes, abit of talent is still required for certain stuff ya =.="

Didnt win any lucky draw prizes this yr...juz realized how silly i was...when i turned up late for the D&D, the events mgmt ppl directed me inside...saying tt everything was already inside...so i didnt even register n didnt even put in my lucky draw coupon...how to win anything when my lucky draw coupon wasn't even inside the lucky draw box in the v.first place? =.=" won't b leeched next yr! -.-"

N the best-dressed awards for ladies went to those wearing traditional cheongsam dresses...guess fusion-dressing wasn't appreciated much ya =.=" leechie had 3 glasses of red wine & 2 beers n i could still walk in a straight line...German sup declared tt he's drunk after 7 or 8 beers, otherwise i would have drank with him...lol ;p n he left rather early with a group...but oktoberfest is coming soon...so perhaps he's reserving some drinking space for tt? ;p

It was an entertaining nite with the indian host (he intro himself as a punjabi) o.O i gotta say tt his hokkien really sounded like Phua Chu Kang...lol ;p there were some stage performances from some ladies from Shanghai (for a minute, i actually thot i was at lunar...lol ;p) hmmm, i didn't even see the magician who was supposed to perform some magic tricks at each table making his appearance at our table even though our table was juz next to the vip tables...or was tt supposed to b some disappearing act? -.-" oops, think i drank some acid instead of water again ;p anyway, it might b better if more budget was reserved for f&b n lucky draw prizes than for the hired stage performances (which seemed to signal loo-break for many ppl) n magician =.=" n towards the end of the nite...the funny host got my colleagues to sing in chinese, hokkien, thai, tamil, indonesian n german...but didnt hear any japanese songs ya (maybe he was told not to poke fun of the vips? ;p)

Btw, someone placed her lv bag (which looks so suspiciously fako) on my seat juz before i came in for d&d...n again on sat nite, someone placed her bag on my seat before i came into the cinema...if their bags r soooooooo freaking exp n deserve a seat...y not juz keep them in the bank safe? it would b far safer n more secure tt way ya ;p

Btw, almost everyone knows leechie fav color is pink ya ;p but not sure y i'm into blues these days o.O i'm v.happy with my navy blue kate spade renwick street...as well as my navy blue milkfed bag (gwp from a japanese mag)...n i still have a pretty denim color prada wristlet which i have yet to use...lol ;p

Posted on fb tt "someone asked me yest if leechie is a tai-tai...she said i look like one o.O" well, i wouldnt need to slog so hard if i were one ya =.=" do i really look like a tai-tai? o.O"" n here r some of the responses to my fb posting:
