saw this in fren's blog
tot it was interesting
so here it goes

SOCIAL COMMENTARYdisclaimer: if the following short contents r likely to miff ur sensibilities (ha!) or bring slander to ur idol or watever hang ups u hav, or ur jus a narrowminded turd in general, pls go boil ur head now. the following blog is a humourous erm, slightly bitchy commentary on our sporean dress sense. it does not represent entirely our culture, its only PART of wat we usually see. u can disagree wid me, ur opinion might defer, but keep it entirely between u and ur imaginery fren. otherwise enjoy ; )

im sure many of us take a road down orchard road wid half a mind on ur fren's conversation, another half on how ur hair is n er another teeny part on wat ppl on the streets wear. (im not particularly good at maths. but anyway) wat singaporeans wear really is diversed. im talking abt our age grp. yes in between 18 to 65.

no jus kidding. most likely 16 to 24. n most of us will fit in one way or another, or a mixture of diff styles when it comes to clothes. n yes clothes does make a diff, it decides on who u attract, who u are and tells us how much money ur daddy makes in a month. hehe

n sometimes there r jus some styles tt we cant ignore. i dont noe abt the rest of the world but i noe i cant. sometimes a certain type of ppl jus stands out n demand my attention n i will be momentarily busy mentally restraining myself frm cutting them wid papercuts to their throats n wrists shouting "WAT WERE U THINKING?!?!"

ok outburst there.it is worth my time to talk abt this cos its also a whole set of thinking behind these diff grps of ppl.

first off, lets start wid a bunch tt hav suddenly popped out frm nowhere within these few yrs. my frens call them

The Trendies

Trendies r ppl who r Different frm us. now i emphasize on Different. cos they r so different, they hav to hav different look, different taste in music, different underwear, different clothes, different everything. n the best thing abt them is tt they hav such a healthy sense of self esteem tt it didnt occur to them tt UR as DIFFERENT AS THE NEXT TRENDY U IDIOT. ur so unique, u look exactly like ur trendy fren! hey wat a new concept. look up Unique in the dictionary.

they listen to obscure bands n read obscure books. anything to make them different, they will know it. so lets say, their typical conversation will be like this:

"yeah i fcuking hate Noamica for not selling me those tics to Glateci's gig. like fcuk man, i wanted to go wid my scene* girls n cant."

point to note. they hav cool names. like so cool, u haven heard of it before. n they always hav a concert they hav to go, a gig happening somewhere somehow. n they end their sentences coolly. its jus all so cool. different ma.

n the girls. they dont clean their mouth after eating n they hav a rice stuck to the side of their mouth. no la jus kidding. its their piercing. u noe the kind of piercing not like mine. mine is a labret. SYMMETRICAL to my face. they hav it at the side.

n they hav so much eyeliner on, their frens wont recognise them when they peel off the 5 inch thick makeup.

i give simple illustration. to spot them, look out for the following: tiny sling bag, black or vintage tops, wid slogan. hair carefully waxed to look messy but carefully n artisticly so. n it is short. rolled up jeans, studded belts, rice piercing, a gallon of eyeliner. n of course tt cool attitude. got cool attitude is a good dude.

though this is not to be confused wid the malay minahs.

the second kind tt is emerging rather proudly in our society r the cute cakeskirts.readers will erm.. by now noe wat im talking abt by cakeskirts.there r 2 kinds. jc n others. im talking abt the act cute kind.take a simple (not skillful) illustration of

the Actcute Cakeskirts.

urgh yes i used cyndi wang cos she is the epitome of demureness i wanna kill her wid my hp's radiation. these ppl will be so cute, u really feel like stabbing a rabbit infront of them.

they r dressed in pink. obviously they watch too much taiwanese idol soap serials. pink pink pink. furry pink. cutsey pink. damn cute the worz~

n their hps wil hav the really adorable soft toy. in my pic, i drew something, im not sure wat, but if its furry n cute, they will like it. they listen to cyndi wang n mouth the intricate n mind boggling lyrics to 5566's newest songs in their slp. when they're drunk, they're likely to burst into emotional rendition of jolin tsai's 72 transformation. or jaychou's something something.

n they tYpE lIkE tHiS dE wOrZ~ lOlx~ =)

its nothing new, so i wont elaborate too much here.

n then there are the queenbees.

THE CAKESKIRTS.

URGH! AHA! i used lindsay lohan cos she is the best representative i can think of. her best assets r her dress sense, it is able to draw ppl into looking at her teenage impossible voluptous body n their notorious silicon valley which has its own postal code and fansite.

i wont elaborate too much once again cos its already been too much on my blog.but hey, lets hav a checklist.

small flouncy flirty skirt? check.small tote bag (perhaps something branded daddy bought??) check.small tight top or white something?? check.small kitten heels strictly no more than 2 inch high??

check.girlish! nubile! nymph-like! bubblegum! pop!speaks strictly english, hair brush and totebags each sold separately.batteries not included, comes wid own bf in tow and clubbing mates.

BUT of course there r The Elites (pun unintended). the creme de la creme. the top drawer.

The Models.

gasp for this grp. i will keep silent abt them. shhhhh...dont disturb them cos its they're busy standing ard looking really posh n silent. shhhhh.....

dont get them riled up or they might jus step on u. no wait shhh... dont talk abt them... shh..... they wont look at u cos the world up there quite high, the air so much fresher too. but wait shhhh..... dont disturb them, they r busy now. dont talk to them cos we all noe sound waves travel in a straight line n if ur not 1.9 tall, dont try it. shhhh

__________________________________________________________________

i left out the Sporty ones.
the Roxy Sporty But Not Really Sporty But I Really Wanna Be Sporty ones.
the Silent Nerds
the Ahlians
the spgs

cos we all noe them by heart now. n im really too lazy to put them on. n most likely, we're a combination of some. then again maybe not. its jus SOME of wat we see.n then there r the boy's version. which is another topic altogther.

because uncle hawk actually reads my blog
so i gotta be careful on what i post up here wahaha...

christmas has been great
all by God's grace
received tons of pressies! yeeps

jus wanna post up what i got for christmas this yr
no other meanings to it

1) cute happy hse trinklet box with a happy hse badge & a bracelet and a bottle of cookies with 2 candy canes on it from Jess

13) natural source glittery body shower gel from suemay
14) burning essence & cute earrings from hawk n brigitte

thanks so much people, for all that u've done! appreciate it lots from the bottom of my heart!

but then sometimes i feel that just get too caught up with buying christmas gifts, decorating their houses, having parties, to the extent that the real meaning of Christmas has been deleted from our minds. it seems that everyone is celebrating Christmas, christians, non-christians etc etc... but the real meaning of it often slipped our mind. so as im typing this, i just hope to convey the msg that Jesus Christ was born on this day for u and me! and we ought to share this great news to all around us!

so as we celebrate this merry occasion with our loved ones, let's commemorate and remember that the Prince of Peace was born for us!

blessed christmas, God bless ya! =)

have been skipping lectures

my brother gave me a levi's voucher
$60
i got a top
$79.90
their clothes are really exp
only rich ppl cab afford to buy

ytd was the rehearsal for christmas rally
it was kinda fun i guess
1) but i get conceited
too often
i try to harmonise
i sing at the top of my lungs
hoping that it can be heard
thats when it all happens
and God doesnt like it

so when i pray i ask God for a humble heart
in all i do
that its all for Him
truly from my heart

2) i told lies
i skipped lectures
and bluff my mama n papa
that theres no sch
im hopeless

3) i spend a lot
i go out with them
instead of lectures
go for hi tea
go for movie
go suntanning
oh no, im hopeless

next wk's camp
may skip a few lectures again
