XIAXUE'S GUIDE TO LIFE


Very hideous. Sorry if I scared you there...

Gillian forces me to put Mayo on my hair and egg white on my face, all to test for you guys if these home beauty remedies work! Eww!

CHICK VS DICK

My favourite ep of C vs D so far!! Kay kay and Paul have to use their sense of touch to find out what these mystery objects are! Let's just say the producers are really quite cruel...



And lastly, I AM SEARCHING FOR A NEW BFF!!



We all know Paris Hilton has a new reality show where she is in search of a new BFF to replace that horrible slut Nicole who went and got herself pregnant, and thus is now a boring stay-at-home mom. Ok, I totally made that up. But I'm pretty sure Paris thinks that way. (Is Paris infertile?! Why everyone else getting pregnant but her?)

So yeah!

Gillian thought it would also be a good idea for me to hold auditions to find myself a new bff, since I am always complaining to her that I cannot find MJ kakis/tanning buddies!

Check this out (click to watch video):

So what do you think?

YOU wanna be my new bff?!?!!? Hahaha!! I assure you I am awesome to be friends with!!

Anyway, this is only half-serious...

I mean, auditioning to be bffs feels kinda forced, and of course, friendship is only forged after years of nurturing and being there for one another, so of course it is near impossible to find a new bff (Shuyin your position is still safe and secure la, hor!) just like that.

But still, it's always fun to make new friends, so who knows what will happen, right?

Just go and apply la! It will be fun, I promise!!

Applications click here. Have to answer a set of questions (not your conventional questions) and send us your photo! You can insult me too if you want. APPLY TO BE ARCH ENEMIES! Omg totally cool reality show idea!

TBTB

TBTB is Too Busy To Blog!

GAHHHHHHHHHHH!! Very busy!!

I've got two advertorials to write (one with millions of pictures) and 1 short script, as well as meeting work related people here and there... omg!!

And as if my computer knows all these, it has to choose right now to have my hard disk fuck up on me. AGAIN!

I don't know if you guys remember, but around maybe 3 months ago my then 2-month-old hard disk also broke down!!!!!!

I took hard disk no. 1 to Sim Lim and they replaced a "new" one for me.

NEW MY ASS! Confirm is a refurbished set lor!

Doubtlessly I got a stupid hard disk that someone sent in which is spoilt before la!!

Can't be so fast spoil again right!?

The little fucker keeps hanging the computer and then saying "READ DISK ERROR" when I restart it!!!!

Nabeh! I am never going to buy this brand again! Never! Even though they will give me another new set for "free" (as it is still under warranty) I DON'T WANT IT LOR!

(I don't know what brand yet but I'll inform you guys promptly when I do.)

I GET THE NEW SET, ANGLE IT PROPERLY, AND THROW IT AT THEIR FACE!! (Angled so that the corner will kena his eye)

Super irritated la! Computer must reinstall once every 3 months, THEY THINK LAO NIANG VERY FREE AH!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING TO DO THEN REINSTALL WINDOWS IS IT?!

ANGRY! AND NO, I WON'T USE A MAC FROM NOW ON! STOP HARASSING ME!

So all in all I am a very angsty person right now, even thought my hair is very chio. I put hair extensions in yesterday and they found new ways to bling it up for me! When got chance I'll take photos.

Ok, I'm signing off now before the hard disk hangs my comp again. Omg I am so ke lian.

Toodles!!!!!!!!

Our F&B heroes

Advertorial

It's the school holidays now, is it?

Anyway, although this entry is an advertorial, I thought it is really cool coz it just so happens to be on a topic that I can talk about!!

It is about joining the F&B industry!

My first job ever, at the age of 15, was to be a banquet waitress.

No photo of me in my uniform, sorry! Anyhow put other people

Erm, if I don't remember wrongly, together with a couple of friends from school, I joined the banqueting team at Sheraton Towers, since it is one of those jobs that 15 yr olds can do.

Subsequently, I did waitressing for another 5 or 6 years until I was 21!

The hotels I worked at includes Ritz Carlton, Pan Pacific, Marriot, New Park, Hyatt... etc.

I did normal waitressing at Breeks too.

Recently I had a startling revelation when I spoke to a friend of mine, who is two years older than me. She's now working at an ad firm (I think), and she told me she honestly would not have minded working as a waitress for the rest of her life coz she really enjoys doing it.

My startling revelation was that... the best job I ever did was waitressing too!! That's besides blogging, which I guess is not really counted as a job.

Why?

Because it is damn fun!!

What's there not to like?

1) Working with friends!

Everyone there was around my age and I loved to gossip with the girls and flirt with the guys.

Haha!! Sometimes the guys will be very nice and help the girls carry the heavy stuff too, which was awesome!

Before work started, all the girls do their make-up, hair and uniform up in the locker rooms. While doing that we borrow each other's hair gel, u-pins etc and gossip about other people. Fun!


2) Food!

I remember that my banqueting days were riddled food-stealing, which is quite unorthodox, but hey, everyone does it lor!!

When a platter of food is leftover on the table, I used to gobble up whatever is left before giving the platter to the wash ladies.

THE PLATTER IS CLEAN HOR! I gave out all the food to people's side-dishes so it's ok to steal food from the platters!! It's all going to waste anyway, I might as well eat it right?!

Best not get caught by the managers though, although some managers are really nice and will allow leftovers to be eaten - sometimes. Those days were awesome!!

I must have eaten tens of lobsters, litres of shark's fin, globs and globs of mango pudding, and a few hundred bowls of ee-fu noodles. (Freaking delicious)

My favourite is still Ritz's cod-fish though. It is bloody 5 cm thick and drenched in cream sauce. OMG!!!!!!!!!!

Picture of random cod-fish

Ahem. Just to be politically correct, I don't recommend people to be a waiter just for gobbling (excess, I stress) food like I did. But for me, it is only of the biggest pull-factors la, coz I am a glutton! Haha


3) Happy events.

Even if my day's really shitty, I love working because customers are always in a good mood.

Be it a wedding, or a company D&D, or just dinner between two people, customers are always expectant of a good time.

Pic taken at Conrad at my cousin Cally's wedding
where you can see me on stage being the host

Digressing, I shall post up a few pictures more of the wedding. People now already got baby already lor! I dunno why I never did post her wedding photos up - guess I was damn lazy or something.

Momo, Jerry (groom), Cally (bride), me, and Mike


My cousin is super chio!!

As I was saying...

It's hard to be grumpy when you see people getting married, or drunk office people dancing with each other.

Often, banquets also have entertainment in-between too! This is the time when food does not have to be served, so I would just stand back and watch people make the groom do funny stuff. More entertaining than TV lor.

When I see customers so happy, I also want to give them good service, and it really brightens me up when they smile back at me!!



4) Job satisfaction.

Some of you who have never worked as a service staff before are probably scoffing. What f-ing job satisfaction is there in serving some food and refilling drinks?

I'm telling you now, the job satisfaction I've gotten from waitressing FAR EXCEEDS any other job satisfaction I had doing anything else!

Instead of waiting for a dumb boss to realise your talents, your job satisfaction from waitressing is solely dependent on your performance to your customers!

I think almost nothing beats a newly-wedded couple shaking my hand at the end of their wedding night and saying that my good service made it a very enjoyable and memorable wedding dinner for them...

or getting an angpow with a thank you note, including my name, at the end of the night. Really. Quite touching.

I am always surprised at how good service really gets appreciated. You'd think Singaporeans are a rude and expectant bunch, but it's really not the case!

Also, job satisfaction obviously comes from doing better than your peers, and at every restaurant I worked at, I always strive to be the most outstanding one so I can be the VIP server!!

(And I am proud to say, most of the time, I am. HAHAHA!~ I am awesome.)

Of course, being VIP server is also more slack la, haha!! During Banqueting I get to be the first person walking into the aisle with the dish during fanfare lor!! Quite shiok the attention.


Which brings me to the next point:



5) Famous people.

Who will you serve tomorrow? It's always a mystery and different everyday, so it's always exciting!

I've served MM Lee Kwan Yew twice and President SR Nathan once and PM Lee Hsien Loong twice!!

Then there are celebrities too, such as Nicholas Tse's sister getting wedded, so her parents were there. I even served food inside the Istana once! So fun!!


All in all, I think more people should give the F&B service industry a try! To me, it sure beats an office job as every day is definitely something different.

There are different catergories of course, besides waitressing: Chef, bartender, pastry chef, and restaurant manager are just some examples.

The number of restaurants in Singapore has grown from 3,821 to over 4,489 since 2000. The number of employees has risen from 52,180 in 2000 to over 70,441!! Sounds like a pretty good sector for a career, if you ask me.

Please, people with cooking talents should just pursue a career as a chef! Good chefs are loved by everyone lor!

MAYBE I SHOULD BECOME A CHEF! I could be good!!! I can follow recipes well! And I'm going to persist in not using parsley in any of my dishes!

But I guess being a chef is really not easy. Not only does one have to whip up dishes double-quick, one also has to constantly come up with new menus, as well as manage all the kitchen staff, not burn down the place, etc.

That's why I love Indulgz's chef!! She is constantly coming up with new stuff, never puts any parsley into my food (she remembers!!), and not to mention the service and ambience there is really awesome. :D



p/s: I've interacted with thousands of people during my stint in F&B, and it has taught me so much! And not to mention, I can cut up a fish, like, super expertly. Really!! Haha!

p/p/s: Have you appreciated your waiting staff today!?!?!? Just call them by their name on their name tags and that will guaranteed make their day.

Updates

I totally hated the Sex and The City movie!!

SPOILERS, so don't continue reading if you haven't watched it yet and want to do so without knowing the ending first. I will mark the end of the spoilers with red stars.









1) I hate Carrie.

I hate Carrie for cheating on Aidan. I've never forgave her, and I never will. She not only cheated 1 time on Aidan. She did so MULTIPLE times, and only stopped when Big's wife caught her, chased after her, and chipped a tooth.

She hurt Aidan AND Natasha with her selfishness and her naivety.

I hate her for being stupid enough to spend so much of her life on bad boys, thinking they will eventually reform. They won't.

I hate Carrie for the many, many other naive women out there she represents.

Do you have a friend who has been fucking a guy who either has another first priority woman (ie maybe he is married, or has a gf), or perhaps fucking a guy who doesn't want to commit to her?

We all do, and despite our repeated advice, these girls won't listen.

Why is it, we logical women lament, that these girls think so lowly of themselves?

Is it because they are constantly put down by these horrible guys, until the extent that they are convinced of their low self-worth?

DO THEY NOT DESERVE A GUY WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE HIS ALL? A guy who loves you enough to say, "You are the one" and not "I am not ready for a commited relationship right now"?

I AM FUCKING SICK OF HEARING THAT SHIT.

You fucking retarded girls listen to this, and hear it good: There can only be ONE reason why a guy will not commit to you.

HE DOES NOT THINK YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.

He thinks that if he leaves his choices open, he can eventually find someone better. He is unwilling to seal the deal because you are not right for him. And meanwhile, you are fuckable, sure - but very dispensible.

You think you'll get your happy ending like Carrie?

YES, if you stick around for another 10 years, maybe he will marry you in a little shitty wedding (paiseh to show you off coz you will never be good enough in his mind) coz by that time, YOU TWO ARE BOTH OLD AND UNWANTED.

There are good, eligible guys out there like Aidan, and yet, women around the world are choosing Mr Bigs. WHY? Maybe because they also want to be ditched before their wedding?

It makes me so pissed off!

I really resent that the show portrayed a unrealistic happy ending for women who choose these sort of guys. I resent that I am one of the few women who are smart enough to realise that sort of relationship is only destructive for you.

Please girls, do tell me you agree with me!



2) I hate Mr Big.

I hate guys like him so much I do curse the day he was born.

What's with this shit about it being his fucking 3rd wedding? CB, CARRIE ASKED HIM TO MARRY THE LAST TWO MEH? WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH HER?

WHY, because it's his third time, then SHE cannot have a grand wedding?

IT IS HER FIRST WHAT!

Every girl wants to have a grand wedding - so because he is a big fat triple divorcee, does it mean the next girl he marries deserves a shittier and shitter wedding?

WHAT ROYAL BULLCRAP!

Bloody muthafucking selfish.

He can marry Natasha in a whirlwind romance in Paris, but he cannot go through with wedding Carrie.

OH REALLY? YOU COULDN'T GET THROUGH HER PHONE? Well I got news for you, you big fat lump of shit: SHE IS BUSY!

One hand on the bouquet, the other on her train, WHERE GOT TIME TO ANSWER YOUR STUPID CALLS?

And oh, cannot call Miranda or Samantha meh?!!

Idiot man.

If any guy is so bloody hesitant in marrying me, I won't fucking wanna marry him.

ASSHOLE!

The shiokest part of the show was when Carrie whacked him up good with her bouquet, and Charlotte shouted at him. Awesome.


3) The Chase - VERY VERY LACKLUSTRE.

Oh, so Big sends her multiple emails and letters.

BIG-FUCKING-HAIRY-BALLS-DEAL.

You cannot even bloody make an effort to go to her house to look for her?!

So you sent a few letters and emails - that totally makes up for the humiliation of her life.

And what's this bullshit about not knowing what to say?

How about, "I am the sort of guy that's really bad for you, so I want to cut things off cleanly now so as not to hurt you anymore in future."

How about that? I think my message is awesome and concise. Beats the stupid Beethoven love letters.

What's with the stupid Ever Thine ever yours ever ours ever mine everwhatever?!

IS BEETHOVEN GAY OR SOMETHING? So bloody untouching and retarded.

"I WILL LOVE YOU..." WHAT NONSENSE IS THAT? Will? When? Sometime in the future when you are ready to settle down?

It is supposedly very touching that he bothers to write an email love letter, because he is NOT THE SORT who will do it.

How's that an excuse for anyone? So how, people who are the sort who write such letters get less credit is it? What's so tough about a bloody love letter?

If he really loves Carrie he will bother to write an original one explaining himself, instead of quoting other great men's love, which only makes his pale very miserably in comparison.


4) The forgiveness - Way too easy

WOW.

Really. Wow.

He actually stood in the closet holding your bloody Manolos?

Maybe he was holding them and thinking of giving them to some other girl? Before we ever get to know, Carrie hops onto him with her quivering loins and rapes him.

He then proclaims that Carrie is the love of his life.

Oh, really? Why? Is it because she's the only one dumb enough to be stuck with your bullshit for so long?

If it takes someone ten years to realise a person is the love of his life, I think the love of his life must really suck.

You mean 6 years into your relationship with her (Carrie) you perhaps thought Natasha was the love of your life, that's why you married her?

And then the relationship with Natasha failed, and your ever-so-loyal fuck buddy Carrie comes along, and then Carrie becomes the love of your life again? Retarded.


Anyway, moral of the story is: THOSE TWO DESERVE EACH OTHER!

One's stupid (and a cheater) and the other one's an asshole (and a cheater).

Carrie does not deserve Aidan, and Big does not deserve Natasha.

Good for the two of them (Aidan and Nat) that they both found better people.


Gillian was saying that her preferred ending would be that Carrie gets a clean break away from Big, realise how destructive that relationship is, and yet she is still happy.

I agree, but I'd also like Big to maybe die from a car wreck or something. Or MAYBE, he becomes disfigured or something, then Aidan and Natasha both stop by to spit on him.

I really liked the friendship shown in the show though. And the fashion! But otherwise... Bleah!


Enough of the show!!

********* END OF SPOILERS *********

I've finally gotten my Juicy Sidekick!!

CHIONESS!!!

With my $100 (gasp! I know! But I love it) Juicy cell phone charm



When opened. My wallpaper is my yellow bunny!

Its name is Mini Love, and it's Mike's V day present for me.




Back of the phone

LOVES! The phone flashes multi-coloured led lights when the phone rings, and I caught a pic of it in pink! It's crazy chio!

Anyway, Mike wants me to reilliterate how much I love him because he was the one who bought me the phone.

I LOVE YOU BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile the phone is still locked, which means I still can't use it with a Singaporean SIM card. I've already paid for an Ebay guy to unlock it though, so I hope it works!

**********************

I've got very good news!!

Some time ago Gillian told me MDA (Or is it SFC?) has a grant for writing a movie script.

What happens is that you send them a 30-page long treatment*, and they will see if they like it, and if they do, they pay the script-writer $6,000 (maximum) to write a full movie script within 6 months!

*Treatment is like a narrative story version of the script, ie: Wendy goes into the bathroom and sees a cockroach - etc etc.

So anyway, Gillian has a movie idea and she told it to me, and I wrote the treatment (Gillian edited it) and she sent it in!

And now they tell us that our grant is approved!!

OMFG!

I could become a world famous script-writer!!

Quite excited, quite excited!

But of course, the writing itself already takes 6 months, and after that, whether or not people want to invest in it to be made into a movie is another thing la!!

Hehe! I'm so going to write myself in as a cameo role, confirm!! The movie is school-related, so I was thinking I am either going to be the canteen auntie, or maybe a student? SO FUN!

We also proposed our lead male to be Daniel Henney.

OR

Dennis Oh

WAH HEARTTHROBS!!!!!!!!!!! Not I choose one lor! Gillian chose!

It's a little far-fetched to get them la and we might end up with somebody else, but hey, one can dream, can't she?!

=) =) =)

I might be very talented. BUAHAHAHAHA!

*************

New episodes on Clicknetwork.tv!!


XIAXUE'S GUIDE TO LIFE

Driving!

For the first time, I sit in a car and learn how to drive!

This is one of my favourite Guide to Life episodes! The instructor is sibeh funny la!! He's this little meek Malay guy who keeps getting bullied by me, hahah!! But he is really good!

Anyway, after you see the clip you get to vote if I should be allowed on the road. Vote yes leh! So far the results is 78% "Hell no!". Nabeh! I am a good driver lor!

CHICK VS DICK

Acting

Paul and Kay kay try out acting!! How would they react when they find their partner in bed with someone fugly? You can click and find out.

I do look like a tranny

Been very busy lately! It's 6.30am now and I don't even feel vaguely like sleeping, so I thought I'd blog some random thoughts and recent happenings!!

1) I had a horrible shock when I had my first MacDonalds Grilled Chicken Foldover yesterday.

The first 2 bites were terrific, and then... BAM! Like a slap to the face, I bit into a giant, raw onion!!!!!!!!

I never knew the bloody foldover has onions inside!!

So here's a warning to everyone who, like me, hates onions, and have a sudden urge to eat a Grilled chicken foldover. Order it without onions!!

To my surprise, when I started telling everyone that the stupid foldover had onions (and honestly, I couldn't get rid of the taste on my tongue till the next morning. SOMPAH! Never exaggerate one!!), NOBODY BELIEVED ME.

Everyone just skeptically and patronisingly told me, "Got meh?"

When I reply "GOT!!!!!!" in a perhaps overly loud manner, they mostly just recoil and say they never noticed the onions inside, ever.

SO NOW... Does the Grilled Chicken Foldover contain onions, OR NOT?

If it usually doesn't, then did my delivery guy delibrately put some in to give me this lifetime trauma?!

Anyway speaking of mac delivery... It's awesome man!!

LOVE HEART MAC DELIVERY!

- 24 hours! Perfect for MJ food.

- Order-takers are ALWAYS, CONSISTENTLY, polite, smart, and articulate. HOW? Where do they find such people? They all sound like Uni students.

- Special orders never get forgotten.


Also, I love the new McGriddle! But it seems like I am the only one, because everyone else thinks it is "weird".

Pancakes kiaping sausage, melted cheese, and egg!! What's there not to like?!



2) Continuation of my maid's awesomeness.

Remember the lizard trap I bought?

That day, the maid came and saw that the trap caught an adult-sized lizard dead inside.

Frankly, it is super gross. The lizard got stuck on the edge of the relatively big trap, so theoretically the rest of the trap (full of glue) is a little wasted.

She took up the box, completely undeterred by the dead lizard, and told me...

She is going to cut/peel off the part of the trap with the dead lizard, so that the trap can still be used again!!!!!

CRAZY NOT!!

She is not only awesomely brave but damn frugal lor!!!


3) I am recently mad over Edamame peas!!

These are the peas that are commonly seen on the moving belt in Sakae Sushi, and I was super surprised when I ate them and they don't taste like normal peas at all!

Hate normal peas.

To my delight, they are commonly found in NTUC in a large frozen package (NTUC house brand somemore lor...), so all you have to do is to boil them (lightly) and sprinkle some salt on them. Yums!!

I am still eating them right now as we speak and I've almost finished the whole package already (!!!).

But it's ok coz it's supposed to be healthy food!! IMMA BE SO SKINNY! But I hope I don't start to have a green tinge.



4) In case you are wondering about the title, some time ago Shuyin and I stayed over at Wanyi's before she went back to Australia to study.

We then decided it will be fun to put ugly make-up on each other.

The chosen theme for me that day was heavy Minah make-up, you know the kind with the severely drawn skinny eyebrows?

Unfortunately, all I turned out looking like was Tranny-ish.

Shuyin having fun slapping on loads of concealer and foundation on my eyebrows to conceal them, then drawing my pseudo-eyebrows 3 cm above my normal ones. -_-

Very fugly.

They then added bright blue eyeshadow as well as blood red lipstick...

CHIO NOT!!

I totally agree now: I do look like a tranny!!

I think girls who have long face or long chins look like trannies lor!! I have a long face. BAH!

Anyway that's not the worst of the photos but I shall not put anymore to scare people.

Shuyin was also a victim of the tranny make-up but I shall not post her pics coz I don't know if she will like that. I know I won't!! Super ugly!! Hahaha!!

And just in case there are new readers here who are horrified and think that I look like that all the time, I just have to say that with proper make-up I look like THIS:

Still a bit tranny-ish but at least not a super ugly tranny...

And lastly, to end off this blog entry, I present you with Wanyi as...

AMY WINEHOUSE!!!

I had to blacken her tooth, but other than Wanyi's good complexion, UNCANNY, you think?

HAHAAHAHA!

p/s: Almost finished the eyeliner stick when drawing her eyes.

Lazy? I don't think so.

I'm in quite an awful mood now. Can't quite say the reason, but well, feeling a little bored at home so I thought I'd blog and complain.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EARLY RISERS?!

Seriously man. Since I was a kid, I've always been shaken awake even during weekends by my daddy, as he thinks that anytime after 11am is unacceptable to be still sleeping.

Now, as I grow older, of course my daddy doesn't shake me awake anymore, but instead I get phone calls or Mike, etc, all trying to wake me up early.

Often, I get stuff like this:

Caller: "Hello?"

Me, groggy: "Yeahhhhhhhhhh?"

Caller: "OMG! You ARE STILL SLEEPING? It's already 3pm for god's sake. You are so lazy/such a pig etc etc."

Me, curious but want to get back to sleep: "What do you want?"

Caller: "Never mind, nothing."

Me: "WHAT IS IT???!"

Caller: "Never mind la! I call you back later."


I CANNOT EVEN START TO DESCRIBE HOW FUCKING ANNOYING THIS IS.

I think being waken up prematurely is among one of the most irritating things to happen to anyone.

And this happened with SO MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY TIMES, that I am not even targeting anyone in particular.

FIRST, I SLEEP TILL WHENEVER I WANNA, AND I DON'T NEED TO BE JUDGED BY YOU. If you don't like it that I sleep till 3pm, then simply don't call me anymore!

And secondly, if you want to call me just tell me what it's for, because I will be fucking curious and cannot continue sleeping anymore!

Thirdly, I FIND IT VERY UNFAIR WHEN PEOPLE SAY I AM LAZY.

That is so FUCKING presumptuous of them! LAZY? Really? What defines lazy? Someone who keeps noctural hours?

Let me tell you fuckheads: I AM NOT LAZY. I simply SLEPT LATE.

Which part of SLEPT LATE don't you understand?

And if I slept at 12pm after a dozen hours of overnight MJ, I AM LIKELY TO BE ASLEEP AT 3pm ISN'T IT???


I don't think I sleep "the whole day". I slept at 4am and woke up at 12pm today. 8 hours is a lot meh? It's perfectly normal what! You also "sleep the whole night", and I am not judging you for it, am I?


I don't get what's with people who rise early coz they have to work and their tendency to assume that everyone should keep the same hours as them.

Really? Oh? You wake up at 7am and go to work and do productive stuff all day till 12am when you sleep? Wow! You mean that's the way the world functions? SO WHAT? CANNOT BE DIFFERENT MEH?

I HATE waking up early because I've got nothing to do at home in the afternoons and it's so fucking hot! I like being awake at night coz Mike's sleeping so I can use the aircon and surf the net in comfort.

I like the night and I don't have to justify myself.

It is not MY FAULT that you people have to wake up early coz your job demands it, and my job doesn't!

I believe if everyone had a choice, nobody would choose to be woken up by a bloody alarm clock every morning.

Provided that you earn the same amount and do the same amount of work, of course everyone will choose to wake up at whatever time they feel comfortable at what!!

Feel so angry with the world right now.

Only fellow bummers can understand what I mean!! My friend who is nocturnal too was telling me how his mother often shakes him up at 11am and will turn off aircon etc to heat him awake.

OMG! I feel so sad for him!! Additionally, he is the insomniac type so it's like after he gets woken up he can't go back to sleep anymore.

Yeah. So you people stop hounding me!!

Very grumpy!!

NAH NAH... New eps on Click Network!!

New website design

I am, and I am sure you are too, THOROUGHLY SICK OF MY WEBSITE'S LOOK!

It was all perfect and gorgeous a few years ago, but now I'm really quite bored by it!

I no longer look like the banner. That pair of boots has long been thrown away and replaced by other camel suede boots. That This Fashion corset has yellowed and might still be around somewhere. Gotta remember to throw it away. Skirt still around though!

Anyway, the flash designer, Alan, has promised me to make me a new banner, but so far he has been busy and this has also gone nowhere!!

So. To summarize, I am welcoming:

1) A website designer (or and team) to help me come up with a new creative concept (i.e. classic/girly/edgy etc... I have an idea but it's very vague so I need help) for my blog's new outlook, and then of course help me design it.

2) A photographer to take photos to this concept. Or the photographer can help me come up with the concept instead of the website designer. Either way!


Alan said he will design the flash banner if there is going to be one, so that part is settled!!

Eh... I don't have money to pay of course, but of course you'll be linked from here and can add my website's design to your portfolio!!

If your portfolio is already full to the brim then maybe you'd do it coz... you like my blog? Ehehehe!!

Ok then, interested people please email me at xiaxue@gmail.com with some past works attached!!

:D

Thanks thanks!!

Update: FUCK OFF, YOU PEOPLE! What's with the insults?

I *should* pay for a website designer? Why? Coz I said I am pro-capitalism?

I am not asking anyone to do a design for me for FREE. I said I will give an ad + link for as long as the design is up there.

Did you know what's the value of Alan's (my flash designer) link being up there on my flash banner?

The value of that for ONE SINGLE MONTH, based on blogads rates (the rates you see there are for weekly only) for websites with my kind of traffic, is about USD$9,000.

IS THAT IS ENOUGH PAYMENT FOR THE DESIGN OF A FLASH AD?

I've had it sit there for more than a year already, right?

That's USD$108,000 in ad value.

And that's not just internet money. People PAY THAT SORT OF REAL MONEY, and that's what I AM BARTERING FOR.

I think it is a muthafucking bloody good deal.

Any designer who is too blind to see the value of this, I am not interested to work with.

If you think you are a designer who does not NEED excess advertising because you are already too good, then fair enough... YOU DON'T NEED TO HELP ME, AND I DON'T HAVE TO HAVE YOU.

Give this chance to many other upcoming talented designers who are craving for a chance for more exposure!

Besides, I'm sure this is a creative avenue for designers who wish to do something more fun than designing boring corporate websites. If you think you will enjoy this, then of course you can feel free to email me.

If you think it's a chore, and just another piece of work for you, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PASSION, and I think that that's what designers need the most - so you are not likely to be any good anyway. No loss to me. :)

And if you are neither talented or a designer, then please... shut the FUCK UP. It is none of your business, you little busybody fuckface.

p/s: I have already shortlisted a designer and Alan said he will continue doing the flash for me. However, I AM STILL STUCK BECAUSE I DUNNO WHAT THEME I WANT!

I'm sick of the pastel colours so I want something a little less maternal and a little more edgy and grown up. What do you think? If you have any suggestions let me know! NO PRINCESSY PLEASE! I just said a little more grown up!!

I don't know why I am bothering though. I look at all the other bloggers' blogs and they are either thoroughly amatuerish and cluttered, or too basic for any personality.

But I'm should persevere and make the website chio, right?!?!
