it's been a while .

1.45pm this arvo, i received a phone call from a random number. this is how it went -

caller: "hi, may i speak to ms (insert my name) please?"
me: "yes speaking."
caller: "hi. would you like to meet some amazing girls?"
me: "sorry?"
caller: "we have some amazing girls. would you like to meet them?"
me: "sorry you've got the wrong number."
caller: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. SZE!!!"
me: "O-M-G YOU!!!"

my dear friend got me fooled. i seriously thought i had just wasted my moolah picking up a call from some stupid sex scam shit. so if you ever wanna fool a friend too, perhaps you can try this out. ;)

we met up in town and spent the bulk of our time in Topshop because ... ... okay there are two things you should know about my friend: 1. once she steps into Topshop, she just grabs clothes off the racks and lugs them all to the changing room. 2. she takes bloody long to decide which one(s) she'll take.

BUT, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU BABE. =D

please meet my crazy-arsed girl in the two dresses that she got after trying on a gadzillion items.

i really liked how this white maxi looked on her and she really liked it too. but after trying on both colours at least 2 to 3 times, she decided to go with the black one as it was 'easier' to wear.

wearing: brandless dress, Just Jeans leather belt, Wittner pumps, Mulberry bag, Sportsgirl bangle, Diva bangle, Casio Data Bank watch.

i was photo tagged by the lovely Kirryn from Teacup Grunge. here it is -

18th December 2008.

this was back in Singapore when my best friend came down from Kuala Lumpur to visit me and her other best friend who has, over the past few years, become one of my closest friends too. we were in the bus and on our way to Sentosa for some beach and awesome jelly cocktail loving. and yup that's me when i get tired of smiling for cameras.

this photo tag thingy got me going through that whole photo album and reminiscing on those times. since there ain't no rules to the photo tag, i decided to share with you a bit more on that fabulous day i had with my favourite girls - Bongla and Hart Bart.

oh and i didn't forget about tagging so i tag:
- Bongla
- Dolly Asylum
- KittyCate Hart Bart
- aelie Amie
- bowsnhearts Death Wears Diamond Jewellery

struck through the last three cos i just realised they've already been tagged. d'oh! it's been great looking at everyone's photo tag. this is actually quite fun!

septembers are busy months.

it's a month of birthdays, one after another. today, my babe turned 21! the surprise that we threw for her turned out very well and the night ended with a big laugh. =D

SURRR-PRISSSEEEEE!



everybody needs a big box of good treats once a year.


and you only turn 21 once, why not do something fun?

so once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!

every party needs cakes and balloons.

yesterday, an old friend of mine turned 24, albeit that was four days early (his birthday's on 9/9/09 but cos it's a weekday, the party was held on the 5th). it was a pretty special one for him because he was born in the year of the cow and this year, according to the Chinese calendar, is also the year of the cow. furthermore, it was a once in a lifetime 09/09/09 celebration.
so to add to the specialness of his party, i baked vanilla cupcakes, topped with lemon and strawberry icing, just for the birthday boy!

nice and golden brown. time to move on to the icing.

ta-da! the finished product.
candy letterings read: "Happy 24th Birthday, Lippy"

this Snapware carrier case is fantastic. my cupcakes reached its destination in one piece, with no smashed icing or whatsoever.
and i'm sorry i gotta do this but...
RANT: a lady came up to me on the tram, asking where i got the case from. so i told her, "Southern Cross Station's DFO. it's a homeware shop called Matchbox." she gave me a puzzled look, and then asked, "where's Southern Cross?" so i explained, "Spencer St. it's a big factory outlet that you won't miss." she continued to ask, "is it Flinder's St station? Melbourne Central?"
at that point, i was thinking, OMG LADY. should i just draw a map for you? but i patiently answered, trying to explain to her where it is. for some reason, she got fed up with me and just rolled her eyes and walked off. no thanks, no nothing. i don't think i owe her a living or something.

Lindt Hazelnut chocolate cake in the centre.

i just couldn't leave empty handed, especially not if there were such cute balloons!
