Before hitting the books hard on Monday, attended a friend’s 21st birthday celebrations where we were all also celebrating the last day of school (and finishing my module assignment early!)
After dinner and before arriving at Double-O, we were all given glow-in-the-dark bracelets. The ones you buy in packs of 50 and only about 10 actually work well.
Usually, I wear them (good and not-so-good) in this random jumble… But this time, they were arranged in gradient. I quite like it! hahas
So totally random, but don’t you like my temporary bling?!
Had to make up for my blah outfit that night. (:

October has been a running month.
The first two weekends were spent at Bukit Gombak stadium for IVP (Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic) Track and Field Competition. My events were in 400m and 200m. Little training. No experience. Scariest 30-40seconds of my life!
Sarah sprinting 200m
Glamourous eh?
One of our attempts at a proper group photo
Races are over! Didn’t win anything, wasn’t expecting to either!

Then, yesterday morning I jumped out of bed at the unearthly hour of 6.15am. I had set my alarm for 5.30am and obviously did not hear it. hahas
Thank you Edwin for the wakeup call.
And this unearthly waking was for the Nike Human Race.

Resting after the race
I’m a Nike Human Race 2009 Finisher yo! (: Thank you Nike for the wristband. Don’t know when I’d wear it though.

Here’s what we did today.
The most artistic we’ve been in like… 500 years. Zomg so sadz. We crosshatched like mad in half an hour.
PURR MEOW!! Let’s play a game of, what sports fashion brand sounds like these onomatopoeia? (Shiz, I haven’t used this word since Sec 2!)
Sadly our drawings obscured our outfits.. so er… no outfit pictures yet!

You know how it is when you are bored at home, lazying around the place… Passing the time by watching television, listening to music, reading a book, sleeping in, pigging out, watching your pet fish (if you have some) swim back and forth in their tank?
Well, what happens when you put 7 bored dancers and 3 bored musicians together?
Toss into the equation, a tanker-full of creative juices, bundles of tape, time and sweat…
And you get Project Sexycats!
The put it very succinctly: 7 dancers, 3 musicians, 1 video.
A collaboration between the Sunset Alley Cats, a street dance group, and the Sexies (aka the band, who claim music to be their underwears).
Yes. they REALLY film in their underwear. classy eh?
Read more about their own introduction here!
Well, that started off as one video has snowballed into something a bit more than that…
For when you are bored, need a break and good laugh, watch these!!

A year ago, the 2008 Miss Singapore Universe contingent received flak for Merlion-inspired costume.

You can read more about this story here and here.
Fast forward to 2009…
(I suspect) In attempts to counter the less-than-friendly responses, the organizers gave the public control over the selection of 2009’s costume.
The result was an online voting competition open to National Service (NS) men, which was recently mentioned in the papers.
Students from Raffles Design Institute submitted their sketches and concept writeup for voting.
The intentions were good.
In fact, rather brilliant, if the objective was the get a greater buy-in from the population and fuller support for the final costume chosen.
Some designs are quite impressive.
And for the students participating, its good exposure for them.
(Who wouldn’t want to say that they’ve designed the costume worn by Miss Singapore at an International competition, viewed by millions?!)
The presentation of idea, sketch and concept had a significant impact on my opinion.
Take for example, winning design by Chiang XiaoJun. The sketch, I like… the colours and visual concept looks pleasant. But with spelling mistakes like ‘Singaporian’ and grammar mistakes… ‘that is what most proud about of my country’?!
Not a very proud “Singaporian” moment.

A classmate of mine once said, “Messy is sexy”.
And she was referring to the state of our ponytails as we were fussing over them after a usual un-glam P.E. session.
Since then, it kinda stuck as a catchphrase for our messy hair.
Our own little excuse.
Then, at a recent event, I came across this lady with her hair tied as such…
I am so amazed by how neat it is.
I bet that all the hairspray and bobby pins in the world could not make my hair remotely that neat.
*kowtows!!!
Neat, ain’t that bad too eh?

I noticed…

As part of a module for school, we have the opportunity to visit Israel (!) in early May.
And although, the research I’ve done is not entirely related to my Business Study Mission module , it has certainly been insightful.
Behold!
ILook: Israeli Street Fashion
Although I can’t read the Hebrew text, there is eye candy to enjoy !
The lilies on her shoes speak to me (:
Could you wear that much tartan and look this cool?
Plain Jane Fierce. does that make sense?! hahas
Loving his shiny shoes and skinny belt
The incorporation of red (lips, vest, shoes and hair) makes the whole look ‘pop!’
And my favourite!
A yummy and commendable combination of vintage prints.. Plus points for the red bow-tie accent
AND have you noticed her shoes!!! <3s
Check out more Israel Street Fashion here!

As a kid, I LOVED watching
Captain Planet!
(I still remember the song !!!)
And I always thought their rings were cool, giving them power to summon different elements. Granted ‘Heart’, the fifth “element”, is a bit iffy but its a cartoon!
Well, I don’t have cool power-rings to give out… But!!! YOU can be a planeteer by Voting Earth!
As a volunteer for Earth Hour 2009 and firm believer in the cause, I urge everyone to sign up here and pledge to switch off your lights from 8.30pm to 9.30pm local time (it’s a GLOBAL event!)
From 5.30pm onwards at Esplanade Park, there will be a Green Carnival and you can have a picnic dinner with friends and family and witness the CBD area switch off. (: I’m quite excited!!! to watch the lights out!
From speaking with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore, participating buildings include the Singapore Flyer, Merlion, Fullerton Hotel and Esplanade.
Major buildings along the Orchard Road stretch are participating as well.
Moreover, statistics on sign-ups will be collated to be presented to World leaders when they meet to discuss the Kyoto Protocol and persuade them to take action towards reducing climate change and implementing environmentally-friendly practices as the norm rather than the exception.
Sign up. Switch Off.
Make a Difference.
Because there IS strength in numbers.
Sign up here
(:

So… as long as you’re tall and leggy, you can get away with wearing rotations of oversized tee, tapered pants, some expensive and/or easily recognizable shoe and/or bag.
Better if people know your name, they wouldn’t even care what you’re wearing! Instant cool.
Is it the tapered pants… leather something? oversized top… black jacket..
These pictures appeared within one photo of each other, all in the same page on AltaMiraNYC’s contribution to Teen Vogue. (O! or maybe it’s Teen Vogue)
Not saying that AltaMiraNYC doesn’t have a good eye for fashion. I follow the blog religiously.
All I wanted to say was: Look there are clones around fashion week too!
