Verves In Composition

Help me, I have a hopeless addiction to the pole.

It’s so bad, that if you were to hand me a naked dish of the month model man I would easily dump him for a smooth, stainless steel finished, 45mm thick 12 foot pole. I would ditch a chance at MTV awards for the pole. All I can talk about all day is pole, pole, pole.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am an official POLE JUNKIE!!!!!

…and I’m not afraid of coming out of the closet shamelessly…first of all because it’s not just some hoochie dance that most will perceive it to be. In fact…it’s the hardest fitness activity I’ve ever done!!! (You should check out my biceps now *poses*) Pole dancers seriously deserve ALOT of respect for being able to work out that much.
A sprained ankle can’t keep me off the pole, I was dancing pole with a deep stitch worthy cut open at the bottom of my foot before someone saw it and new bruises are cynical trophies of new moves learnt.

I missed my first pole dance competition for fear of aggravating my sprained ankle but this time, I’m going to go ahead with the latest Clorets Amateur Pole Dancing Competition!!!

See! See! MY VIDEO SUBMISSION!!! (beaming with pride)

Pole…my dear people is very much an art form, I’m trying to show that there is more than just sexy. There is also an enterprise of flexibility, performance, artistic moves and after all, it is still a dance. (No I won’t do stripping ) I swear if a guy called me hoochie names when I’m dancing, I will lose all my respect and sense of proper civil conduct. He deserves to be taught some moral values with my fist.

Before a friend came to join my classes, I was a very lone ranger of a pole dancer when no one understood why I was grabbing random street signs and twisting the Velvet Underground curtains into a tight whip to twirl round in. She now joins me as a pole addict and we pole together every Friday night (injuries and schedule permitting ) I strongly urge clubs to install some poles! It’s unfortunate a majority of poles are in very dodgy places and polers (male and female) would love to have some fun in very SAFE (and happening) environments.

On a very shameless note, don’t forget to support me and Yee Von by voting for us on www.cloretspower.com

I would also greatly appreciate some feedback on our videos to help improve the quality of the dance

Amongst all things, a colleague and I were discussing about getting another phone line to of course, save some costs.

With the very Chinese blood flowing through our veins and by some natural call of nature to ‘Chink Genetics’ we with reflex started translating and analyzing the numbers as closely as an auditor buried in numbers.

We are buoyed in emotion with the rates of the latest Happy Line; and yet cringe at the sight of the accursed ‘dying’ number in it’s 014 prefix.

I kid you not. We later tried incredibly hard to think of numbers to completely nullify the abating number that could mean suffering, expiring and ultimately just dying. Maybe if we had a number along the lines of ‘-545454′ (won’t die, won’t die, won’t die) that should do the trick!

Then there were those other numbers we hoped we weren’t unlucky enough to get addressed with. Fortunate for you if you know Chinese; it’s really much funnier at the sound and intonation it carries (I will however translate the bit)

114 1146 – everyday die everyday die and fall/drop

114 1124 – everyday die, everyday easy to die

535 4444 – don’t live; don’t die, die die die

246 4114 – easy die, drop and die, everyday die

Don’t blame us for being a slave to ciphers of Chinese numbers, I figure we could have been brought up in an almost identical manner when it comes to unraveling “the secrets of digits” *Insert sound effect of heavy noise from timpani drums here*

My own family itself has acquired a taste of fine numbers that we are engrossed obsessed by it.We’re just so completely gripped by it, I could illustrate the following examples:

My own car number means:“Fortune and Prosperity would come my way”

Part of my mothers hand phone number means “prosperity will easily be acquired”

We never cut our food stuffs into four pieces…EVER.

My own mobile states “You live, you will prosper. You die, you will prosper. You live or die, still will fortune is still yours”

One of my important documents has the number “5558”; which although in complete Chinese means “I won’t ever never prosper”. Shocked by my unfortunate luck with numbers when I applied for that document, my auntie has so Bastardised it so accordingly so it reads “Five, five, five, fatt” or in other words… ‘”fai fai fai fatt” in essence would lead to…”Quick fortunes”

I mean…until we had to ROMANISE the bloody number. Legalise it to a half parentage of English. MY GOD.

So now, should I still stick to the Happy Line and pretend that I’m not the least bit bothered with the number ruling my life whenever i give my number away. Then on the other hand I could still save alot of money AND THEN prosper with a mobile line with good rates. Or just look for a way to debauch the number in a foreign language.

It must be that confounded superstitious Chinese New Year bug that’s landing a couple of bites on me

I’m going to have to start repairing my shoes if I’m going to attain at least the literal part of the sentence….

Best foot forward.

What a way to start the new year, sorting out my heels and pumps so I can wear more of them.

I’m really lucky to be able to afford so many nice shoes.. and yet…
Urgh. Unfortunately, all my heels have really noisy effects after some wear and tear. The rubber just gives way and thus exposing the screw or metal part or whatever it is that makes my presence know when I walk down the stairs.

It’s unfortunate that one of the local heavily franchised stores famous for shoes (Yes we all probably know which store already since they have an outlet in every major shopping mall in the country) have really nice shoes but really LOUSY RUBBER ATTACHED TO THE HEELS. If any fellow company representatives of that store knows what I am talking about, please go do something about the rubber on the heels. You probably would even recognize some of your designs in the first photo.

I’ve got at least a dozen shoes to take to the cobbler when business resumes after the new year slog.

Does anyone know how much it will cost to just replace the rubber part?

Laine and I are such bloody coffee addicts… one of our favorite hang outs would have to be the Starbucks outlet in Leisure Mall cause we’re really ‘tight’ with the baristas there Which other girls except us get personally invited to check out the new Christmas goodies and blends? Lucky lucky us!

My name can be so misleading to make people think I’m into the hype of Christmas by ‘April’. I’m such a camwhore even when I’m having my coffee.

Laine is such a good friend. For two nights in a row, she has willingly surrendered herself to being ‘kidnapped’ by me to get sugar and caffeine intoxicated. ON PURPOSE.

This is our favorite Barista! Auntie Cheong Mabel! Just look at her ‘syiok syiok‘ with all that cream! *Licks lips* Mabel loves me so much, she did this on purpose…

But I love her for it… *feels so loved* Here are the other things worth trying! Toffee Nut Latte especially on a breezy rainy night along with a Chicken Cranberry Sandwich for munchies!

So the next time you’re about Starbucks in Leisure Mall, look round the corner for Lainecinno and Aprilcinno (OMG THE NAMES WE GIVE OURSELVES WHEN WE ARE HIGH ON COFFEE) then do something in the Spirit of Xmas, (refer to last photo for gift suggestions).

I am a self proclaimed gamer. I may not excel on the PC or arcade boxes, but eversince Atari days, I definitely have a knack for console games.

Daddy bought the family a Wii! (Oh yes I know I’m the one probably using it the most) MOTION SENSOR, WIRELESS, SD CARD ADAPTABLE, LINKABLE 360 DEGREES OF ABSOLUTE GAMING FUN! *collapses in joy*

With a new toy comes an opportunity to camhwore, photoshop with Japanese photobooth effects and act all silly too.

Don’t want to blog much, off to do swishing sword actions with Legends of Zelda!

Hello everyone, I’m so ready to lose weight again After two years of putting back on all that fat, it’s time to clean out my system again and start looking fresher and better!

I’ll be blogging this on a daily basis to help me monitor my progress and you can drop me comments for support too! YAY!

I’ve gone through all the necessary preparations. A tote bag with all the essentials:

1) Scoop spoon for mixing my favourite detox drink by Melilea (i shall blog about it soon on Practical Charm)

2) A muesli bar for snacking

3) A fork for my packed salads

4) My ever so essential thermos

5) Tea bags to flavour my drinks

6) Equal, aspartamine, to sweeten my drinks

For one whole month, I will be converting my sweet tooth, carnivorous, dairy loaded diet into one comprising mostly of

1) Salads - Fresh Romaines, rockets, tomatoes, corals, butterheads, ice-berg lettuce and cucumbers with lightly toasted wholemeal non-buttered croutons and light Caesar dressing. Important to note that there will be no servings of cheese, mayonnaise or thousand island with my salads

2) Halved cans of Campbells chicken soup to be eaten sparingly max twice a week

3) Bottles and bottles of yoghurt! - to be eaten once daily on a sparing basis

4) Fresh fish and white meat: Smoked salmon, sashimi servings, cod, tuna in water all not to be fried, stir fried or steamed with any sort of oil.

5) Whole grains no breads or baked goods: Yeap. not even a slice of bread!

6) Fruits and juices: Non sweetened preferably citrus juices and Watermelons!

I should be updating in another 24 hrs!

Wish me luck!

I’ve heard of ladies demanding for the a minimal carat size if a man ever wants to set his marital dreams on her, but this is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

SO GOD DARNED BIG WEI! LOOK LOOK! CAN FIT ON MY ARM. KANASAI. SO BIG!

If i did mention that “I would love a total diamond collection amounting to this.” I swear 80% of men will be so put off XD

Nah I don’t want that many diamonds. Or people will be going round chopping my Arm off!

Btw, found this at my new supplier’s shop for Korean Crystal imports! Have you seen my latest designs at Vanity Vault?

Some people have dreams of little children waving flags with their face on it as they tread on a strip of red carpet laid in front of their own private jet.

Me? I just want to be a superb earring collector.

7 animal print hoops that I puchased today…out of erm, 75 other pairs.

I started off by putting everything into a lock-lock box the size of a professional makeup bag. I then got into the habit of purchasing my own earring carousels, which I fondly christened as Tower 1, Tower 2 and so on,…there are also CD racks that are make shift earring racks. And then, people started to ask me what to do with their earrings, some of them bought carousels like mine, some used wooden racks from Ikea, my girlfriend turned her hamster cage into a rack lol.

I’ve now graduated to an earring wall of fame, where I have decks and decks of frames laid on a two-storey sized wall. Mom’s idea to innovatively use some netting and hammer it down to cheap wooden frames. I STILL don’t have enough frames though

Up to date, I have completely lost track of the number of earrings I own. But I can safely assure that I have enough pairs to go on 5 years straight on with a different design a day.

Aside from the fact that I make earrings as a hobby, if there would be a name for the condition that I have please do tell me.It would do a lot to help me explain the handicap to the people I meet.

Well, I’m off to BALI baby! For the weekend I’ll be back with some good Balinese camwhoring and hopefully more earrings!
