Gosh...guess what? leechie was at Suntec Bookfest today n i pop by Jim Rogers's talk...i have been wanting to meet him for a loooooooooooong time...but i keep missing out on his talks...i rem once i went to his talk at suntec rather late n the entire place was v.packed with ppl...it was so crowded that i could only hear his voice but couldn't see him at all =.=" btw, i have a fren working at cnbc whom i have been bugging to bring leechie into the studio to catch Jim Rogers in action...but i havent been able to meet him...until today!
Leechie went up the stage to get his autograph...n guess what? he kissed my hand n posed for pics with me n passed me his namecard! gosh...leechie feels so honored n flattered!!! =D n he's really friendly! =)
Update: Wanna wish all my frenz here a Merry Xmas n Happy New Year 2011! Huat Arh! =)
Here r some of the Xmas pressies tt i've received from frenz...i guess most frenz know tt leechie lurves cosmetics...lol ;p Juz went to Valentino Retrospective: Past/Present/Future exhibition at RWS, courtesy of L'Officiel mag...took lotsa pics...will upload the pics soon =)
Someone sent me this msg -> "Hey there.. are you a model? " but i thought tt was a pickup line tt ppl use donkey years ago? ;p Well, i was amused with the folloing reponses from fb frenz -> "the famous pickup line was "Excuse me...are you a model?" "Tono..confirm u r a catwalk model..i saw u before in hong kong" "I would ask the Question too by virtue of your Profile"
Interesting comment by Harn: "Conventional wisdom may be that its wrong to be friends with married men, but could it be that maybe you are really the right person for him after all, and he only met you now? Comments please."
Just received a lovely Urban Decay eyeshadow palette as Xmas pressie today...blur leechie only realized tt the box was made of wood when i got home....v.unique n pretty! leechie likes it v.muchie =) (from Mandy n Aly recent US trip)...the 2 Jill Stuart eye jellies were from Shuqin's recent Taiwan trip...she also gave me the pretty Jill Stuart paper bag...n the lancome lippie n mascara were from Harn =)
Gosh...leechie was really excited when i got to know Taiwanese celebrity makeup artist Kevin lao shi was coming to SG...was wondering where he was going...until i figured out tt he was scheduled to speak at the Suntec BookFest =)
Dear kevin lao shi actually blew me a kiss from the stage when i can rem what he said on his previous trip here abt how our eyelashes r the curtains to the windows of our soul...leechie is v.muchie flattered...lol ;p
Leechie bot dear kevin lao shi his fav pandan cake =) he actually thot tt leechie baked the cake for him...but no...leechie cant cook x.X" a fb fren saw the pic of kevin lao shi n leechie posing with the pandan cake n commented tt he looks like my bf...lol...she made leechie damn happy with tt comment...nobody would mind have such a good-looking bf...juz like how nobody would mind having a rich bf ya...lol ;p gotta thx Emily (http://airmeli.com/) for helping me take the nice pics =) i also met kevin lao shi's lovely PR lady n chatted abit =)
I have kevin lao shi's makeup books from his previous trip here...so i bot the English version of these makeup books...was really glad tt the english version was produced cos leechie cant read too muchie chinese o.O" got his autograph too =) Picked up several useful makeup tips from dear kevin lao shi's demo session...he has a great sense of humor ;p my leechie mum heard me raving abt dear kevin lao shi n she wanted to go see him too...she wanna see for herself how special kevin lao shi is...but she was busy with stuff n couldnt go...n it was really a pity tt i could only stay for his Sat talk cos leechie had to attend to other stuff on sun nite...cos the sun topic was on how to make the face appear smaller with the clever use of makeup o.O
Kevin lao shi showing the latest english version of his makeup books =)
I really like what dear kevin lao shi wore for the 2nd sessions here...he wore a sweet pink top on sat...so cutie ;p leechie always thinks think cute guys look cuter in pink...keke ;p he matched it with a nice Hermes white belt...saw tt he has the same belt in black as well...now leechie is starting to imagine him owning the same belt in all the avail colors? lol ;p leechie likes this Hermes belt too...rem the cutie hair stylist from Kim Robinson wearing the same black hermes belt too o.O i like the burberrys top tt kevin lao shi wore on sun...he has such a great sense of style tt the local guys here can really learn from...hopefully, he'll come out with a book to give some of the clueless guys here some valuable tips on how to dress more stylishly! o.O
Btw, leechie tried out kevin lao shi's Vin Vin cleanser yest n i like it alot =) n i went to order alot of other Vin Vin stuff cos there is end of year promo ;p
Haiz...leechie caught a cold n is having sore throat n runny nose n dear kevin lao shi is sick too =.=" i'm feeling v.sick n feverish now...think i took too muchie black pepper n i'm having bad sore throat now...crapz -.-" i cant wake up these days...falling into deep sleep...feel tt i'm wasting my leave on sleeping =.="

Attended the private soft launch opening of "A Curious Teepee" at *Scape...pretty nice food n interesting cocktails there...it was really crowded with lotsa arty ppl o.O they have a v.interesting concept...whereby one can find all kinds of arty stuff there...all stuff whimsical...as well as a bar/cafe to chill =)
Leechie tried practically all the signature cocktails there...had abt 10 cocktails, including some exotic ones such as cucumber martini, strawberry martini, A Curious Teepee Concoction, expresso martini, sea salt magarita, elderflower cocktail o.O" leechie fav was the strawberry martini...sweet n nice =) took abit of the expresso martini from Harn's glass...found it abit too strong for my liking (it kept me up the entire nite -.-") but quite a number of ppl there told me tt they like it tt way...so i guess it's supposed to b strong o.O" the sea salt margarita was really interesting...the bar mgr told me tt the foam on the magarita will stay on n will not subside...true enough, the foam stayed there even after i finished my drink! but the drink was quite salty...think it tasted quite strongly of tequila o.O A Curious Teepee concoction is sweet with passion fruit...nice...but there seems to be too muchie crushed ice in it o.O" cucumber martini is quite refreshing n slightly bitter...think the elderflower cocktail had vodka n grapefruit juice in it o.O
Leechie likes the desserts served...had several servings of the apple thingy with vanilla ice-cream...although it tasted abit like creme brulee ;p they also served us the delicious duck meat in small waffle cones...which Harn likes alot =)
I also tried this red wine popsicle ice-cream bar...quite cool...my first time trying out an alcoholic ice-cream on a stick...lol ;p Harn chose the chocolate coconut one which she likes v.muchie o.O
Guess what? i actually met the media guy who sold me jimmy choo mirror at zouk flea mkt couple of years ago...lol...see tt leechie uses atas mirrors ya? ;p harn was giving me advice...telling me to date atas guys n not cheapo guys o.O btw, leechie is allergic to cheapo guys! -.-" btw, the lovely Tracy Phillips was at our table...she always looks so elegant n classy =) there were a few ppl from mediacorp there as well...
Btw, i was greeted by this pink parrot at the door when i arrived...n i couldnt resist not disturbing this parrot before i left...so i went to stroke the parrot...this caught it unaware...my leechie mum was asking if this parrot made any noise while i did tt...well, i guess it's a well-trained parrot with pretty good manners...it didnt make any noise at all...lol ;p
Check out the cool crowd at A Curious Teepee B-)
Well, A Curious Teepee is a cool place to hang out n chill with ur frenz =) well, i think i would need to fork out >$200 last nite for all the drinks n food if i were not invited to this event ;p Harn msg me the v.next morning tt we drank waaaay too muchie last nite...i actually thot i was doing okie...cos i even went shopping last nite after she left n my chat with mediacorp frenz...bot pretty dresses ;p leechie is in a holiday mood...it's the party time of the year ya ;p i ♥ my leechie life ;p but no more expresso martini for a leechie...not even a sip...waaay too strong for a leechie!!! x.X" it kept me up the entire nite even though i only tried abit! -.-"
"Have you taken time out to review 2010, what was great for you, what wasn’t, what you would change, what you would retain? Are you pleased with where you are at right now? What’s happening within you & what’s showing up in your life? Are you ready for more? Are you ready to take a quantum leap, to do & experience what...ever it takes in order to make real changes in certain or all areas of your life?" ~ Helen Lee
I'm really scared...honestly...harn said yest tt her new year resolution is to get married...n she has had the same new year resolution for the past 3 years...gosh o.O"
Learnt somthg new today:
"GPS- Go Places Slowly......."
lol ;p
Something to share with everyone here ---> Someone sent me extremely rude emails...let a barking madman barks all he wants...guess he's facing some personal crisis in his professional & personal life...let's exercise our greatest patience & sympathy...no wanna bring myself down to his level...he's juz a mere acquaintance, wont b surprised if nobody wanna befriend such a pathetic soul...since there r slashing cases here...it wont do our safety any harm to let ppl with questionable frame of mind win some silly arguments ya? ;p which is y i always say...letting others win silly arguments aint a sign of weakness...but it certainly tells u something abt these ppl...a person's behavior can tell u lotsa abt tt person's upbringing n class (or rather the lack of it) ;p
Can u believe it? leechie kenna bullied yet again today :'( there r juz some totally unreasonable ppl not in the right frame of mind who goes around picking on ppl n spreading untruthful rumors :'( he created a scene n then he continued nagging on n on n spreading untruthful rumors n badmouthing me at my fren's table until she got so pissed off n told him to shut up otherwise she's going to call for security! tt shut him up...but he went over to other tables n continued his nonsense!!! :'(
wanna thank the 2 kind souls who came to my side to try to help me...anyway, anyone with eyes could tell what kind of person he is judging by his action n behavior! :'( n this is not the first time tt he is doing this!!! -.-" my leechie mum was asking me y am i so affected when most of us already know his character n how he likes to spread untruthful rumors n badmouth me in front of ppl, esp when it's not the first time tt he's doing this!!! -.-" i believe there is such a thing called retribution...n with his character, i wouldn't be surprised if no lady in this world would fancy him even if all the men r dead!!! N if i ever see him spreading untruthful rumors abt me again, i will consider to seek legal advice!!! -.-"
Here r responses from my fb frenz --->
"in our life we cant choose ppl around us even at work, family or friends also have tis kind of ppl.juz keep in mind only useless people will talk bad abt us cause they r jealous abt us.so dont bother abt tis kind of useless ppl, they are not capable ...tat y only know how to use mouth. i treat tis kind of ppl as disabled person so never take in heart on wat they said yet pity them. …"
" I agree leechie, I have seen them got the retribution they deserve. But important not to react and stay cool or they will drive you nuts"
To quote our Foreign Minister, Mr. George Yeo ---> "If you want to hear everything said behind your back and then be offended by it, you will be an unhappy person."
Leechie is annoyed with how some ppl who keep trying to sell me all kinds of crapz n keep pushing their ideas into my leechie head...leechie aint a 3 yr old kid =.="
*leechie squeals in a most bimbotic tone "my leechie brain has limited space n it definitely doesnt have any space to absorb whatever crappy ideas tt u r trying to sell to me"! =.="
Juz saw somthg amusing ;p
"Abbreviation of ABCDEFG & GFEDCBA
What is ABCDEFG?
...
A Boy Can Do Everything For a Girl!
But what is GFEDCBA? (The Opposite)
Girl Forgets Everything Done and Catches new Boy Again!
LOLZ!"
Saw this on Mike's fb status...this is sooooooo sweet
"Love is when my gf accidentally delete all my important files,crashing my laptop,having to spend nxt few wks trying to get it all repaired,& at the same time crashing my car too,having to send it for repair&spending nxt few wks squeezing wif the public taking public transport & yet...w/o yelling at her but juz giving ...her a kiss on her forehead when she sincerely apologized&assuming her tt everything will be ok"
Peter's touching real life story...
i like the last line..."sharing life together, living on faith and love."
"i was relating to my wife the other day that how similar we are, to Carl & Ellie. we built a family together, saving for rainy days, my car also spoiled & knee was injured... taking out precious savings, and all that. the wedding ring i bought for her, is a little too small for her now, hence i wanted to buy a nice Tiffany ring for her, because I want her to know how much she means to me. next year, i actually wanted to have a month-long trip to Europe, because she never went there b4. i know she will love it. but heck we can't do that, because we are shifting house next year and we will be broke again... but isn't that part of growing together? sharing life together, living on faith and love."
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection." ~ Buddha
I totally emphasize with my fren's predicament...but still amused by his posting ->
"And the best part is... the Head of Admin laughed at me when I showed him the booklet with the counter staff's handwriting and told him that the counter staff even confirmed for me that the program does have honours before I enrolled for the course.
His reply was "You should have checked with the Dean..."
In my mind I was like "wtf? U mean even when Apple prints in their tech specs and the salesman confirms for me, I must still check with steve jobs whether ipad really got wireless lan before buying?""
"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them."
my leechie mum was saying yest tt if it's meant to b yours, it'll be yours...if it's not meant to be...then perhaps tt's ur fate...but y shld i resign to fate? =.=" i'm the scriptwriter of my life!!!
Update:
Some irritating guy juz called n asked a string of irritating questions...n i'm being reminded of what my broker said last sat...some ppl dont look at themselves in the mirror first before thinking of their expectations...he was questioning me this n tt abt my event participants n asking to meet ppl from certain professions n kept asking this n tt...but has it ever crossed his mind if those ppl wanna meet him? obviously not!!! -.-"
Attended the soft launch opening of "a curious teepee"...pretty nice food n interesting cocktails there...had abt 10cocktails o.O" met the media guy who sold me jimmy choo mirror at zouk flea mkt couple of years ago...lol...see tt leechie uses atas mirrors ya? ;p harn was giving me advice...telling me to date atas guys n not cheapo guys! =.=" btw, leechie is allergic to cheapo guys! -.-"

Was sent a voucher for a complimentary head scalp spa at Creme The Hair Spa worth $118 for my leechie bday =) this was my first hair spa session...the session was really v.relaxing...i sat on the massage chair....n dozed off...lol...ampoule for hair loss was applied to my scalp n the therapist massaged my scalp...she was really v.attentive...even helped me put on the bedroom slippers (which was totally unexpected)...i had soothing blackcurrant tea there...thumbs up for the excellent service =) i noticed tt another Japanese lady was there during my session...i was rather surprised cos when given a choice, most Japanese would prefer to go to a Japanese salon rather than a non-Japanese one...so this should say something about the level of service there...found out tt a few local ladies mags did reviews for their services too o.O for those of u who r interested to visit them, they will be moving over to Central at Clarke Quay after Xmas...they have some special promos going on too =)
Brought my leechie mum to a skincare talk at Germanium on tues...n they did a complimentary "Gua Sha" session for my leechie mum...they did one side of her face first to show the contrast...well, it was pretty obvious tt the right side of her face where "Gua Sha" was done looks visibly lifted n fairer! well, my leechie mum was pretty happy =) apologies tt i cant post any pics of my leechie mum here cos she's rather publicity shy o.O"
Leechie was sent a box of Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink by AFC Lifestream...tried it n i like the fresh citrus taste...it's so refreshing and different from those overly-milky taste from some other brand of collagen which i took previously...n it's v.convenient too...there's no troublesome mixing of powder into water so no worries of insolubility...it contains micro-collagen peptides, bio-cell activator n hyaluronic acid...a highly-recommended collagen drink from leechie...saw tt Tsubaki Perfect Beauty Drink was also voted Women's Weekly #1 Best Skin Supplement Drink! btw, i also bot the AFC collagen tablets previously n i like that too =)

"When you don't like your current set of circumstances & would like to create anew, focus on the desired results rather than harping on what's happened & is happening or you'll remain stuck & worse yet, create more of the same.

"Next, you need to not only map out the path to consciously, deliberately creating a whole list of desired results that you want for 2011, you MUST clear the path to be sure you (& your team/group/organization, if applicable) are not standing in your way & stopping yourself/yourselves from receiving all that you wish to have & enjoy in your personal & work life (& organizational life, if applicable)." ~ Helen Lee

"Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do.

"Money without brains is always dangerous." ~ Napoleon Hill
"Think of yourself as a container for wealth. If your container is small and your money is big, what’s going to happen? You will lose it. Your container will overflow and the excess money will spill out all over the place. You simply cannot have more money than the container. Therefore you must grow to be a big container so you cannot only hold more wealth but also attract more wealth." ~ Harv

"The Biggest obstacle to being successful is YOU and your mindset. Your thoughts shape your destiny. Your thoughts will create the words that you use, which will lead to your actions. After awhile of taking the same action, you will create a habit and habits will create your character and character, your destiny. Thoughts-Words-Action-Habit-Character-Destiny"
"DARE TO BE CURRENT, UP-TO-THE-MINUTE and yet, utilizing ancient wisdom. We are not making maximum use of our potential, our innate talent otherwise.

"Taking action is how you GIVE your gift and live a life of true service to yourself and others. And that doesn't mean that your life's work has to be something that seems grand and noble.

"Money doesn't buy happiness, but it can buy FREEDOM: Freedom of choice, to be able to do what you enjoy doing and not be forced to do things just because you need "the money". Money is like a lubricant -- going through life without it is very, very, rough."
"If Aristotle is correct in saying that 'Happiness is the meaning & the purpose of life, the whole aim & end of human existence,' then, surely the majority of human beings have been going about life the wrong way for centuries! FOCUS FIRST on being who you want to be and know who you really are. When you come into alignment, you will be truly happy for love, peace & joy are your essence." ~ Helen Lee
"When you are presenting - especially to influence and sell - do not be tentative, BE DEFINITE in your words. Which is better?

If you think you'll lose, you're lost For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will It's all in the state of mind." ~ Walter D. Wintle
"Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set."
"I used to have an open mind, but my brains kept falling out."
"Laughter is the best medicine: how to lose 20pounds? just give the money to me."
"Look back on times of adversity with hope for the future, not regret for the past."
"It all comes down to this: if your subconscious “financial blueprint” is not “set’ for success, nothing you learn, nothing you know, and nothing you do will make much of a difference. The first thing I did was commit to my success and playing to win. I swore I would focus and not even consider leaving this business until I was a millionaire or more." ~ Harv
"Compared to what we could be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources.

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure." ~ Colin Powell
"The fruits of being in alignment are immense & immeasurable. Imagine being filled with the same creative energy that resulted in the formation of the Universe. Then, imagine being able to create whatever your heart desires, at will, not because you need to but purely for the JOY of it! This is the result of taking the Journey of YES (J.O.Y.), which is to say YES to the Real You, constantly & endlessly." ~ Helen Lee
"U live your own dreamz, doesn’t matter what others think what ur dreamz shld b...as long as, at the end of ur life, u can look back with a big smile with no regrets!"

"If there is no TRUST, there is no start, or it's time to part."
