Yay! The boys are moving to Melbourne!

As you might (or might not) know, I'm an artist and I had a solo exhibition last year. Robert got to know of it after reading my interview on Fridae.com, came over during the opening reception and bought one of my favourite paintings that I have painted thus far, "My Favourite Superhero as a child is not Superman."

Robert is now heading over to Melbourne and taking the 'boys' with him! I do hope they'll behave.

Thanks Robert! I wish you and the boys the best of times in Melbourne! =D

"A minute won't matter."

Apparantly it does.

Especially when one has an alarm clock that is not manufactured to include a 'snooze' button (I'm used to having my phone as an alarm clock but due to recent events...). All it can do however, is produce this loud ringing sound, right before i frantically reach for the 'off' button, convincing myself that I have a 'bionic' body clock that would automatically wake me up in another ten minutes.

I wake up, and it is an hour after.

As I sat on the backseat of the taxi, glancing at my watch one second and the taxi meter the next, I listened to the dreaded sound of the meter, happily 'clicking' away, as if teasing me with each and every twenty cent increment to the fare. Annoyed, I sighed, sat back and promised myself, for the fifteenth time (this month) that I would stop contributing to the success of a cab company that has so far been nothing but a detriment to my bank account.

Slowly but SURELY ticking away.

VALENTINES DAY CATALOGUE 2010 (FOR 2011)

I was invited to a 'Singles'/Chinese New Year Party on Valentines day (which just happened to be on a Lunar New Year), hosted by our lovely host and my new friend, Gerald Aw. As I was lazing around of what seems to be a room full of singletons (or not) I just could not help but realise that I have been single for more than a year, added to the fact that I have had only celebrated Valentines day once in my 'I’m-usually-single-when-I’m-not-dating-freaks' life. Had I not searched hard enough to actually find someone to date, long enough to at least last till the next Valentines? (Yeah I know. I sound really romantic right about now).

 With the odds of finding love already against us, added to that (with reference to my previous post) ’We’ can't exactly express our interests on a 'love at first sight' encounter on the streets, freely, without having the SLIGHTEST worry of the possibility of being bludgeoned to death, should the person of ‘interest’ turn out to be a homophobe on a witch hunt. With more and more people working longer hours to make ends meet (or to spend it on exorbitantly priced skincare products) who REALLY has time to date? Most importantly, apart from online dating services (an appropriate time to give a shout-out to Fridae, Trevvy and F*REEOOW*Race, HOLLER!) that seems to have taken over the dating world by storm, how and what does one need to do to gain an advantage and stand out from the masses?

Well, in the spirit of being-along-again for Valentines day (and to celebrate our willingness to be exploited and our ongoing compliance in allowing others to continuously capitalise on something as priceless as being in love) I bring to you my latest creation.

GEO TRICOLOR/ 3 TONE GREY LENS REVIEW

 this review is made possible thanks to the kind sponsor of http://www.dbeautyshop.com/

(see below)

Geo Tricolor Grey

COMFORT: 9/10

Well, without a doubt, these lenses, as with my other pair of Geo Tricolor/ 3 Tone Brown, are fairly comfortable. Geo Tricolor lenses are however slightly thicker then normal lenses and even though most times I don't feel them at all, SOMETIMES on the 8th hour or so, I do feel the lenses in my eye's No biggie though if you ask me, and most importantly, does not impair or obstruct my vision in any way.

*Geo Tricolor Brown Close-ups*

COLOUR/DESIGN : 8/10

Well, to be honest, after receiving my Grey Nudy Lenses, my hopes of venturing into other grey lenses just sank like the Titanic. I'm not saying that grey lenses are not for anyone, but I think that some grey lenses just turn out bluish and they just do not sit well on my face, especially with my skin tone (I'm pretty tanned, so the bluish greys seem to 'wash-out' my skin tone just a bit.) HOWEVER, THESE BABIES ROCK! I love the colour, its intensity, and subtlety, at the same time. There is a pretty distinctive colour change, yet if I were to reside anywhere else other then Singapore (people here have brown-black eyes period) passer-bys probably would not stop and stare (and look away, and stare again when you’re not looking).

What I also like about Geo’s Tricolor series is that they do not have a very distinctive limbal ring design that makes your lenses look like stickers. Instead, the enlargement comes from the design of the lenses itself, not a thick black ‘outline’ of the actual lens design.

Having said that, as you can clearly see from the photos, the pixilation of the design is not to be desired.

Yes GEO, back to the research lab you go! *spank*

But all said and done,

GEO did a pretty good job with the Tricolor Greys.

ENLARGEMENT : 6/10

Well, these are mainly worn for colour-difference and not necessarily for its enlargement factor because there are definately more circle lenses in the market that achieves a much greater enlargement, but for all its worth, they do somewhat enlarge a little, as proven in the photos.

OVERALL: 8/10
Unlike my Geo Tricolor Browns, there wasn't much of a 'culture-shock' for me when I first tried these lenses on since I've previously owned another pair of lenses from the Geo Tricolor series. Definately a pair of grey lenses that one might want to own for a fun night out in the town, a vodkatini in one hand and, well, another vodkatini in the other (sorry, I'm not a smoker, but you can see where I'm going with this =D)
Personally I always believe that it's the subtle changes that make the difference but sometimes, when you take chances, you'll realise that it is not so bad.

Or you might end up with Nudy Greys.

American Idol Hollywood Group Rounds (Episode 10) Recap.

Referred to as hell week, American Idol Hollywood week, group rounds thursday night is all but hell to watch. It was definitely an entertaining hour of feel-good triumphs to the downright nasty, with contestants screaming out their Lady GaGa “OOO Ra-Ras” against one another, accusations of ‘plagiarism’ and petty “They STOLE our idea!” remarks flung carelessly towards the recording cameras, made complete with pitchy harmonies and distinctively bad vocals in the background.

Oh, what fun.

The ‘Dreamers’, one of the many tacky group names Idol contestants came up with this episode, including contestant Alex Lambert (what a name sweetheart), and ‘Cliché-rocker’ Mary Powers, went into a bit of a stir when two of their members went missing at the beginning of rehearsals, causing a ‘camera-panic’ ( defined as a state of panic exaggerated by a bad reality TV actor to effectively enhance the mood of a situation at play) The producers, probably dying for a sound bite then, were almost certainly ‘ecstatic’ when ‘Cliché-rocker’ Mary Powers announced,

“These two are not here. They’re fired!”

Contrary to what I’ve been reading on most sites, I don’t think Mary Powers is a bitch. She’s just a crazy control freak.

Oh Mary, what drama, and we are not even gonna talk about your business suit.

Another thing that is tremendously distracting for me this episode, I mean other then ‘Big Mike/over-pimped’ Michael Lynche’s enormous pecs and cold nipples, are his backstories that the producers shoved down our throats (and not in a good way) that I honestly couldn’t care less about. I love babies and all (ok not that much. I lied) but I’ve mentioned this before,

“ I HATE BACKSTORIES especially if they are over-emphasised to support a contestant who otherwise has a pretty average voice.”

‘Over-pimped’ Micheal Lynche’s voice is not just average, its nasal.

I have honestly no idea why they are ‘Pimping’ him so hard this season. I just don’t get his appeal, other then to fellow bears and cubs. (of whom I am friends with, who I love, very much)

‘Big Mike’ mentioned,

“I just can’t wait to get home to meet her(his wife and baby)”

I understand ‘Big Mike’. You and me both.

On a positive note however, I have to give a HUGE shout out to my favourite contestant this episode (at least), Charity Vance, of whom I have been endearingly referring to as ‘Singing sparrow’. Listening to her sing is like listening to a sweet blonde canary on a beautiful summer day. I was so engrossed with her performance that I totally blocked out the effort from the rest of her group members. I’m sure they sang well. Oh Charity, the things you do to me, again.

This episode also brought light to a number of praiseworthy contestants that had previously not been given any form of airtime before. Siobhan Magnus, (Seriously?) who even though was a tad bit wierd, was incredible, along with group member ‘possible-bitch’ Todrick Hall, ‘Purple bangs’ Theri and ‘Acrobat’ Jared Liewer, performing LadyGaGa’s Bad Romance, complete with innovative and engaging choreography . Other contestants worth a shout out include ’Pimped-spot/possible winner’ Andrew Garcia, ‘Packaged-artist’ Katie Stevens, ‘Smooth-as-butter’ Jermaine Purifoy, 'Cry-cry-baby' Didi Benami, ‘Third time the charm’ Angela Martin, “High-note’ Jermaine Sellers, Ashley Rodriguez and ‘Urban Hottie’ Tim Urban.
