hello public
i know i know!! i'm having a long weekend and yet there are no updates. i'm like so busy with meeting up with friends and all and whenever i'm home i'm either too tired or just blardy lazy. but, i promise i'll do a proper update either really late tonight or tmr instead. that means u can look forward to a new post by tmr night k.
you know sometime when i type this kind of messages, i wonder whether i'm the only one reading them.
how many people do read my blog anyway?
hmm, whatever it is, no matter how few of you read this, you are the few i love. hahaha. crazy mushy shit.
and i love nobody else.
i promise!
well, probably my mum but yeah, hmm, thats it.

hello public
remember the challenge my friend posed to me which i talk about in the previous entry. well, its working out just fine.
for those of you who dont know what i'm talking about, well, my friend posed me a challenge a week ago as he thought that i'm definitely not capable of changing my lifestyle.
what challenge, i hear you all chant?
live the simple life. no luxury items or any heavy spending on luxury goods for the month of august.
its already been 5days into the month of august and i've yet to step into a starbucks and grab myself an iced venti low fat caramel machiatto. the only ice cream i had over the weekend was a hot fudge sundae from mcdonalds that only cost $1.50. i didnt buy any clothes over the weekend. and i havent taken a cab unnecessarily. and most importantly, i havent paid more that $10 for a meal.
yeap yeap. you dont have to tell me. i know i rock!!
i told you i could do it!! now i only have 25 days more to live in poverty, oops, i mean live the simple life.
anyways,
you guys know how singapore tries to be this 'Centre of Exellence & Perfoming Arts' shit. well i guess its kinda moving towards there. but its still not there yet. i was like wondering how come singapore's art scene doesnt seem to flourish gallantly.
are we not mostly educated? of course we are. then why are theater and other forms of performing arts not gathering enough popularity it deserves.
well i could only put a finger on 3 factors. firstly, low publicity. you dont actually see much advertising and promotions done to reach the public do you. secondly, cost of tickets. if you price your tickets at $38 for the cheapest ones, then obviously quite a number of people will have second thoughts. i mean for $38, do i wanna watch 4 movies at the cinema or do i want to watch a play where i have to use a binoculars viewing from the cheapest seat. and third point, is location. if you do your plays at places only accessible by cars then obviously the lots of singaporeans who travel by public transport's gonna find that a chore.
but, there's one local theater production or some might argue and say cabaret, surpasses all this factors.
they advertise on taxis, newspapers and even worked with a shopping centre, promotion wise. their tickets are on the reasonable range without exceeding $100 for their best seats. and lastly their location is at a well known location accessible by all forms of transport. erm, i dont actually know per se whether the esplanade has a helipad but if you're that rich to own a helicopter, then i think a $12 taxi fare will be peanuts for you.
the show i'm talking about is dimsum dollies.
over the years, i have been a big fan of the dim sum dollies, trying my very best not to miss any new installments of the show. and this year was definitely no exception.
to those of you who have no clue on earth what the dimsum dollies are all about, well, they're made up of Selina tan, pam oei and emma yong. its a musical cabaret comedy kind of performance. they make fun of everything in singapore and everything else. its totally hilarious and a fantastic show to watch.
so earlier in the day met up with maddie for lunch and to shop for sharif's present, his birthday was the week before i've yet to get him anything. i seriously have no idea how long i've known sharif but i know it was like since primary school or something. hahaha!!!
manage to find something from aussino thats dull enough for sharif's liking. hahaha!!
then we had dinner at pastamania, plaza singapura. i love pastamania and how its such wonderful place for cheap and good tasting pasta.
we all love it so much we decided to endorse it.
after dinner we decided to walk around cause it was still too early to make our way to esplanade for the show.
so what do you think happens when i get bored?
camwhoring of course!! and guess who i had with me, 2 more camwhores. but darling, i am the original, king of all hos. and dont let that slip your mind. hahahah!!!
and there we were in a crowded alley posing in front of a signboard. we had to wait for people to walk past before we snapped a foto. shameless i tell you. pure shameless!!
then it just got too many crowded and we decided to look for a less crowded place to vogue it. and guess what i found. a construction site.
i know you're all going WTF!!!.
but wait till you check out these pictures of our individual shots.
maddie
sharif
me
'a true camwhore is not all about himself in the foto. it is all about location and working that location to his advantage.'
after all that retardedness, we noticed how time jetted past so quickly. so me and sharif said our goodbyes to maddie while we made our way to the coveted Esplanade.
we reached at a really good timing and our $80 tickets provided us with a really good view of the stage.
BEFORE
AFTER
and so the show started and what a blast it was. honestly i'm gonna admit that their first show was definitely their best but this one wasnt that far off either. the dim sum dollies performed to a stellar sold out night and the audience went home satisfied.
we were rather hungry at the end of the show, so we made our way to glutton square for supper. the carrot cake was good but the bbq chicken wings from the same stall tasted like cold erasers. but its okay. i wasnt that hungry anyway.
we decided to make our way to the train station soon after supper so that we can make it for the last train and boy was the place crowded. there were crowds whom i heard just ended watching the national day preview. i so did not feel like squeezing in the train with everyone. so we decided to chill out at starbucks first before we took a cab home.
and soon later i got bored again.
and guess wad?
hahahaha!!! like i know right?

hello public
u know right, i was like talking to my friend online and he's said that i've changed so much since secondary school. the guy he knew in secondary school barely existed anymore.
i say,''well people change''
he says, ''i've changed into a 'spoiled himbotic brand-name addict'.''
well, i dont wear dolce gabanna everyday u know. i do wear giordano, even if its to sleep, i still wear them.
so, after much discussion with him over that tagline he adorned me with, i kinda understood where he was coming from.
just recently my friend suggested eating at a hawker centre for dinner and you should have seen how disgusted i look. the rest of the day i was in a really sulky mood after having to eat at such a location.
anyways, i kept defending myself throughout the entire conversation. and he posed a challenge to me.
'go one month without luxury items and luxury spending'
but darling, that $65 lobster dinner accompanied with 2 glasses of Moet & Chandon while dressed in a Calvin Klein top, Guess jeans, a Donna Karan watch and Raoul shoes was not exactly luxury you know.
but still, i've always love a challenge.
for the month of august i shall:
>not spend $6.90 for my venti low fat caramel machiatto from starbucks. $1 kopi from yakun will do.
>not spend $5 for my one scoop of ben and jerrys or hagen daaz. $1 chocolate chip ice cream with bread from those old-school vendors will be fine.
>not blow $50 at sushi tei when i crave for japanese. $0.60 sushi from supermarkets is japanese too.
>not buy anymore skinny jeans no matter how cheap a $75 is for skinny jeans.
>not shop at marks & spencers like its NTUC.
>only go clubbing 1 time MAX.
>not step into any Club 21 stores and go crazy over any end of season sale. even if a 20%discount means $60 off selling price.
well, u technically get the drift. i shall live a life without my frappucinos and ferragamos.
and what do i get by doing all this you ask?
pride, that i can still survive living a life of poverty and of course, the eligibility to brag.
muaahahahahahahahaa!!!!
cmon ali!!! you can do it!!!!
yes i can! yes i can!

hello public
you know they say how best friends have so many things in common. well, i won't rule that out as a jargon.
a c0uple of months back if you guys remembered, a big hullabaloo broke out. news of heiress, singer and actress(in many ways than one), Paris Hilton 23day jail sentence ejaculated the entertainment news industry into a gigantic spurt. minute to minute details on her arrest were updated constantly on celebrity entertainment websites.
from websites, magazines, radios, newspapers, televisions and even the news reported of this highly hyped arrest. it was almost treason if any form of media had no reports on the heiress. the the couple of days before paris was imprisoned, no other news mattered. i bet even if Michael jackson was to turn black again, he'd only deserve a 20 second news update followed by another 20minutes of paris hilton's news. oh heck, even if xiaxue was to have another nose job or caught doing a blow job for all i care, it wouldnt even make bloggable news. well, steven lim(the ugly eyebrow plucker cum yellow underwear stripper) might, probably just might, do another retarded video about it.
you know how some people offer a public apology after they do something wrong or stupid, well, the only remedy steven lim has for that beyond inane video would be suicide.
wad video u ask?
now you know what i meant by the only remedy is suicide.
anyways,
that wasnt my main reason for this blog entry. the whole gist of this entry is that best friends share things in common.
so guess who's going to jail now?
paris hilton's bff and the simple life's co-star, Nicole Richie!!!!
sentence to 5 days in prison for drink driving.
the only think going thru my mind right now is dont you think she looks fabulous going to court to hear her sentencing. i love especially those gorgeous Chritian Laboutin heels. dont you?
okay guys, thats it for this entry. remember i love you guys butilovemyselfmore!
till my next entry.
toodles!
