What was supposed to be ONE day of being a slob at home prolonged to THREE.

This is bad, I promise to get out of the house tomorrowwwwww. I need a new haircut really really really really badly): I have been stuck with this hair for far too long now, so I really want something newwwww but I have no ideaaaaa what):

Hmm despite all its gimmicky badness and how it's quite sad people see Project Runway and ANTM as a representation of the fashion world, they are terribly entertaining to watch. Gets more ridiculous every season but still so darn enjoyable to watch.

I really really hope the moment of sheer geniusness happens at Paris Fashion Week. Hasn't happened to me for any of the fashion weeks this season. It's been okay so far, no favourite collections but lots of favourite pieces(: Like the kickass jackets from Balmain (I have never been a fan of shoulder pads but these were awesomeeeee) and a few dresses from Nina Ricci (I didn't like this season as much as the last. But Nina Ricci is always full of fantastical goodness which I loveeeeeeee. And Olivier Theyskens is so cuteeeee)

Balmain Spring 2009

















Nina Ricci Spring 2009















I realise this post has been rather fragmented. Whoops, sorry. Need to start organising my thoughts before I blog. Kind of like how I need to organise my room. SO.DARN.BADLY.

Oooh this marks my 100th post! If that calls for any celebrations at all.

PROMOS.ARE.FINALLY.OVER. Never felt so liberated, walking around, not feeling guilty that you aren't spending your time studying. (:

Not that I am at all pleased with the ways Promos went. I think the first day was the only happy day. After which is was a long dark gloomy spiral downwards. Econs was well, just econs... I'd never be able to do fine for econs, cus that's just the way econs and I roll. Math was ridiculous, out-of-the-world, I don't know how else to describe it. WHAT were they thinking when they set a paper THAT hard. It was very very very very demoralising especially because I was REALLY just keeping my hopes up for maths since it's usually the only thing I can do fine in. But the paper was just extreme.): So after three hours of math, I was really in NO mood to do geography. I went in with a completely blank mind with no aims and intentions of acing my paper. So I sat there, and gagged random geography thoughts onto the paper, in the most brainless, calm and zen manner... while everyone was frantically scribbling. Physics today was gross. I think the paper was relatively okay, like the kind at least half the world would get A in. But paper being okay doesn't equate to me being able to do it. As easy as you make a Physics paper, I would neverrrrrrr be able to do it. This time, I didn't do at least half of the whole paper because I spent the longest time on all the easiest questions people can do without having to think... :/

BUT.IT.IS.OVER. And before we get our results back and the news of long strenuous remedials during the holidays haunt me, I am going to feel happy.

Shopping with Cheryl after Physics today was fun fun because Marina Square is THE nicest place to be when there's noone there. And I got cheap shoes I am DAMN pleased about (: Especially since I need to be doing more of these shopping-for-cheap-things thing since things between my father and I haven't got back to normal... Not that I think it ever will any time in the near future, if at all...

Then was our pseudo dinner party at the airport with Maryam, Izzah, Nurul and Amelina. And I love my friendzzzz so yay us(:

This is my first attempt at taking a picture on my instant camera that doesn't actually miss the target by a lot(:


Izzah is so tall omgzzzz. But that's also because she stole my shoessssss, since hers were killing her feet.


Check out Maryam's "I'm from Afghanistan" face (:


In acsending order): When will I not be at the bottom end...


Izzah is so glamarous here. And we all look like we are from primary school.

Okay off to sleeeeeeeeeep for a long long long long time, without having to think about what I need to study once I'm awake. Tomorrow shall be my catch up on sleep/ANTM/GossipGirl/MilanFashionWeek day(:

I wonder if all the pressure I'm subjecting my brain to will make it into a metamorphic rock.

I am quite happy with the way today went. (: Not ideal of course, but probably the best it could get seeing how it is Promos after all, and not meant to be enjoyable.

When we got our paper one I was crossing my fingers for a human cloning question. Not that I feel passionately about it or anything, but because it was the only thing I could cram into my head yesterday. My eyes scanned the list and my heart crumbled when I read the energy source question): Because we all know only one science question would come out. Ahh, but I read further down the list and guess what question appeared! "Is fashion for the frivolous?" and something about whether you agree to it according to today's fashion industry. I beameddddddd when I read it. Because fashion is about the only topic I'd ever be able to write about without having to study the night before and because I imagined Nabil's reaction when he read the question. You see, just a few days before, he was saying oh how wonderful it would be if they asked a fashion question. And I was like oh what are the chances. I probably wouldn't write it anyway, thinking I would be fully prepared to write on other mm, boring science issues. Heh, shouldn't have doubted his superpowers. They always work better than mine anyway. ):

So YES! Today marks the day I first enjoyed writing a GP essay. And to be able to write from your heart, plucking examples you just "happened" to know instead of those you studied so hard to memorize the night before. Doesn't happen much to me, with my lack of general knowledge and all that shizz. Seeing how I don't write very nice essays, I don't expect to do extremely well. I did try to spam with as many examples to like heh overwhelm the markers and cloud them off my arguments... It was nice though, being able to enjoy writing what I was writing. (: Oh and there was this point in time I was stuck because I couldn't find a quote to prove my point in relation to how fashion is more than for the rich to flaunt because fashion can be cheap. But like I remembered how Anna Wintour and the rest of the world are all about the rich, famous and exclusivity. So I ended up inventing my own quote. Okay not really cus I might have remembered reading something of the likes. I quoted "famous local fashion blogger, Vogueite" (: Haha I should be forgvien though, because I already told him I quoted him. Haha the wonders of celebrity friends...

Compre ended up being about human cloning. So technically my cramming the night before didn't go to waste(:

So yeah, quite a pleasant way to kick start the not so pleasant promos. Here's to hoping the coming days go just as nicely, although it's highly unlikely. Yay good luck world! Off to do econs now):

):

Part of my is yearning for just a few extra days. But that would mean prolonging the pain. And since I know "a few extra days" will never happen, I wouldn't even try.

I should get some credit though, for trying. Granted, my studying has obviously not been ideal seeing how I have done about less than half the things I was supposed to. And how I have resorted to cramming things in the last hours. But hey, not bad for a mugging virgin.

Just five more days and we get to partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (:
(And no, I didn't forget the rest of you who have a little more than five days. I'll save some confetti to celebrate with you guys for when you're done.) Good luck world. We are so above something like this, we're all going to make it through. I just know it. Because my superhero prowess in me says so. (: And you don't want to go disbelieving my superpowers now...

Still alive but barely breathing.

Promos are in three days and I am not even halfway through): And I know I shouldn't be wasting my time blogging while I'm whinning about not being able to finish studying. But if I don't do normal things like these, I SWEAR I would lose my head.

Doesn't help that I cannot shop. Because shopping has been THE most effective stress-relieving way of mine. But seeing how someone decided to cut me off all of my inflow of money... Let's not even go there. Am already depressed enough.

So anyway, since this is supposed to relieve me...

Jenny Packham Spring 2009













Ahh. So pretty. If I could be princess of Disneyland, I would wear these everyday.

Except I would never be princess of Disneyland. Or princess of anything):

Urgh and it's so depressing how I've been spending my past few days studying/attempting to study and wallowing in my own misery. While people have been globetrotting from NewYork to London going for fashion show after fashion show in six-inch stilletos.):

This is so cute. Unlike how screwed I am for promos, which is the most terribly uncute thing ever.

School is getting scarier. The class is very unusually quiet because everyone is just tired of school, studying and life. Okay so I exaggerate. Only I am tired of life. But really, the atmosphere in class is just a lot less exciting now. There's still the random Middle Eastern hums from Benji and the throwing crap at each other and random shrieks and shrills but you can tell everyone is just blearghhhhh.

And I am supposed to be doing PW now. But my brain froze for a while so I'm here while my brain goes on defrost.

So anyway, yeah. Oh we got too see our class photos today. HOLY COW UGLYNESS. Okay but everyone else looks good/cute/funny. HUR. Speaking of class photos, from the day we had to take our class photo... (: (Because people complain my blog is all clothes and no humans)

Feel myself vaporizing into a pile of madness. I think it's gross that we have to think of PW amidst the whole mugging for promos thing. And it TOTALLY doesn't help if you have to deal with grossgrossstabstab ): ): ):

But it's okay. Good timing the whole fashion week thing and all. Lets you destress (:

My fashion week highlights today didn't start too nicely though. Because the first collection I looked at was Alexander Wang. I was bursting with excitement when I clicked on the link because I always love Alexander Wang. It's usually like badass with all the girlyness at the same time. But I didn't like what I saw today): I don't know. This collection was just not pretty, very mm urban people sitting around on the pavements kind.):

The next link that I was compelled to click on was Vena Cava because I usually love Vena Cava too. And the girls from Vena Cava are like how cuteeeeeeeeeeeee. But I didn't like this season too much.

Everything after that got better though. This season's got alot of airy fairy floaty pastel girly things I'm such a sucker for yayyyyy(:

Favourite collection of the day's got to be Unconditional. Quite refreshing especially since they were never one of my favouritest.

















Hehe I just had to include the random guy in the bunch cus he's so cute in that picture hehe. And I don't know what HAIR PEACE is. But I like it anyway, makes me giggle. Ooh and last outfit's my favouritest!

No favourite dress of the day though): But I've got another favourite outfit of the day! It's so pretty it, it's as good as a dress.

Threeasfour Spring 2009

Oh yes Threeasfour's a collection worth checking out. Lovely pallete and omg just screaming details. Oh and you should probably look at Daughters by Obedient Sons too. Not my kind of collection. But I think it's kind of like what I imagine the love child of Jill Sander and a Japanese designer to look like... or something like that.

And I think you can tell I'm not really all that sane right now. :x Kbyeeee.

And New York Fashion Week started on a very pretty note! :D

I'll refrain from posting all 37 pictures of BCBG Max Azria Spring 2009 even though I really want to cus it's that lovelyyyyyy. So here's ten!




















:D And don't you think Edita looks EXTRA stunning here (4th picture, if you were wondering who).

Oh and favourite dress of the day!


Yigal Azrouel Spring 2009
