Ferrero Rocher
Sunday, September 18, 2011
I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates (the original ones, not those yucky new flavor ones). So sweet and nice and chocolatey.

I eat the Rochers in a particularly weird way (I think). I will take the whole ball in my mouth, eat off the outer layer first and then slowly chew on the center chocolate ball.

I wonder how the rest eat theirs. Chomp off the entire ball in the mouth? Do share! =D

Kelvin's Style #002
Saturday, September 17, 2011
It has been quite long since I shamelessly posted a photo of myself wearing something stylish. So, here's something I wore out today which received quite a number of praises:



Cardigan from Cotton On, Wisma Atria; Shirt from Matsu, Bugis Junction; jeans from Uniqlo, 313@Somerset; belt from Levi, 313@Somerset; shoes from Pedro, Citylink Mall; wallet from Prada, Rome, Italy//Photo shot by Joyce Sim

Basically, this whole look came together because I wanted to put on an outfit that goes with my newly-brought cardigan (I wanted to show that off ma). After tons of trying out outfits, I suddenly thought of Hyun Bin's style from Secret Garden and how he always put a cardigan over shirts.

In the end, I look more Brit-prep than Korean. But that's ok, my BFF covers the Korean bit. =p

The most positive comment of my outfit came from OPY, who said that my style resembles Mondo's, contestant from Project Runway Season 8. I happened to think that he is very stylish and fashion-forward, so imagine my elation when I heard that compliment. Made my night! =D

New Phone Layout

For about 3 months, I have been treating my Galaxy S2 like a normal iPhone. Lockscreen and homescreen style largely remains the same. Despite all its virtues of being easy to change and manipulate skins, I have largely ignored that function.

Until I looked at some beautiful screens that fellow Android users have been able to create, and I realized that my S2 pales in comparison.

After reading up on how easy it is to change the lockscreen and homescreen, I decided to give it a go....

And well... It is really not easy as it reads. I initially thought "download a few apps only right?", but seriously people, no. I have to search for wallpapers, for design styles, for widget apps....

But after half a day of tinkering with all these, I am rather proud of my creations! So here they are...

Time Well Spent
Thursday, September 8, 2011
I just spent 45mins making a card for a colleague who got really really sick.

It's to contribute towards a giant gift box that the entire department is giving her. I don't really know what everyone is contributing (I haven't taken a look at the contents of the box yet), but I figured that I should do something thoughtful and that I know how to do.

So, I made a card. =D I went to Art Friends after work today to get materials, and I just love shopping for art supplies. Really inspired my creativity, heh heh. The card didn't turn out super spectacular, but I think it is quite a decent effort la (self-praise ttm man =p). =D

I do hope that my small contribution will cheer her up and help her get through the tough times. Hope she can conquer the darkness and recover soon! =D

One Ear In, One Ear Out
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
All these while, I have been getting affected by what X says to me everyday at work.

She is the type who won't think twice about putting me down, whether privately or in front of colleagues, or worse, in front of my bosses. She jumps to conclusions way too quickly and will not hesitate to chastise me for my "mistakes", and when I clarified the situation and prove my innocence, she did not even bother to apologize.

I am quite affected, because frankly, I care about my image. Who wants to look bad in front of other colleagues, worse still, my own boss? I keep replaying all the horrible things she said about me in my head, and sometimes, I really toss and turn in bed thinking about them. Yeah. They say that guys care about "face" and "image". It's true.

But you know what? Today, I reached an epiphany. I am not gonna get affected by whatever she says anymore, because, she is making herself look bad instead. Yes, my reputation may be destroyed, but at the back of people's mind when they witness the spectacle, who really thinks highly of a person who puts her teammate down? So, the more she scolds me in public, the more she is ruining her own image instead. I don't need to go around the office bitching about her and telling the whole world how nasty she is; she can do a fine job of it herself.

So from now on, whatever negative things she says about me, it will be one ear in, the other out. That's the best way to deal with someone like her. No point in wasting brain cells thinking about people like her, right? =p I would rather use my energy to make sure I do a good job in my work. =D

Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Wa! Seriously! Today I really got 桃花运 leh!

Today, I have the chance to meet two cute doctors. One asked me which HR rep to approach to apply for parking, the other sat in for 2 interviews I had today.

Wa I whole day happy leh. Especially for the first one! So freaking cute can? And I think the second one will be coming for interviews tomorrow too. So must prep myself a bit, and not ask repetitive qns (so that I won't sound like I only know how to ask one type of qns only ahahaha). =p

边看边哭
Sunday, September 4, 2011
最近,我又迷上了一部台湾偶像剧 《醉后决定爱上你》。这台剧是我朋友Joyce介绍的。我从星期二就开始看这部连续剧,一直追到今天才把整部剧情看完。

我跟你们讲哦!这部台据真是太好看了!剧情精彩又丰富,又令人感动。今天我从第13集一直看到第18集大结局,每一集看到又哭又掉泪的,我的眼睛现在超红超累了!可是,男女主角之中的爱情之旅就是那么感动。

我觉得男女主角之间的爱情和所经过的波折是非常逼真。我真的可以想象所有的一切发生在我们的身上,所以我才会这么投入这场戏。

我想啊,竟然我自己没经过设么爱情的,所以会这么迷恋这些爱情喜剧片,活在这些浪漫的世界里吧。

我真的建议大家看着部台湾偶像剧吧!保证看了津津有味!=D
