ms hilton you must be worth a trillion bucks

Love her or hate her. You can't deny the power that is Paris Hilton.

I like this pic of her.

In case you were wondering, I was looking for bang inspiration (HAIR bangs that is..)

Her eyes look almost normal here. (She has a serious case of wonky eye)

my first f1

Gotta admit, the whole night race thing was pretty spectacular. The backdrop of the city , the traffic juxtaposed against a grand prix setting was very nice.

H and Grumpy were keen on going . We didn't have tickets, so not much of a view except for a ginormous fence encircling the track. Suddenly we see some chinamen dragging one of the construction barriers up against the fence. We quickly follow suit before a) there are no more barriers and b) there is no more space to put the barriers. Very unglam.



I got tired of teetering after a while so was looking around for someone who I could hook H up with and who didn't smell bad. GREAT SUCCESS !! She even asked her friend to take a photo of the 2 of them.

The cars are much closer from here and Grumpy got all excited from all the engine noise (my ears were 'popping' like I was on an plane or something)

Hopefully for next year, they will make it easier for freeloaders to watch.

new-age monks ?

Throughout our 3 day stay with poh poh at sin ming, we had 2 different monks who performed the chanting rituals.

Both of these monks arrived at our location in Mercedes Benzs. This is rather shocking to me. Aren't monks those that have pledged their life to simplicity, free from worldy possessions in the pursuit of nirvana?

"The renunciate monk is a man of extraordinary character and virtue. He has detached himself from family, from career, from all secular affairs, from the pursuit of money, even the retention of money. "

That sounds more like it.

Monks are supposed to go around with their alms bowl looking towards the charity of their community for sustenance which they are allowed to consume from dawn to noon yet we see both of these monks zipping around in luxury cars. Seriously ?!!?

poh poh

I am very shocked and saddend by poh poh's passing. She never really had any history of any health problems. The only thing was the wear and tear of the cartilage in her knees which were causing her pain when she walked. She went for total knee replacement last year so that kinda fixed that.

Mum found her sitting out on the patio drinking her morning coffee. When I got home, she was in poh poh's room just staring at all her stuff. I've never seen her so ... lost... vulnerable.


Even though we didn't really understand each other (my cantonese was shit and the only english she knew was fish and chillies) we got along just fine and she always asked me about Grumpy. She always tried to warm mum up to Grumpy.

Bye poh poh, I will miss you. Finally you can rest with Ah Kong.

freebies

No news from recruitment company. Guess it's safe to say it didn't go through. Ah well, can't say I'm not disappointed. Maybe I messed up one of the 4 personality tests.


Received my stuff from fr3b.com . Samples which you try, review for points enabling you to try other samples. And they're free ! (just have to pay for them to post the stuff to you, $2.40 or something)

Got the Rojukiss pore tightening source. Very excited to try !! Retailing at Watson's for 69.90.
And something to appease Grumpy. A 150ml (?! looks almost full-sized) sample of Hex hair gel.
