100% Red Delicious

I was reading the magazines that xiaobai gave me as birthday presents. I came across their freebies section and decided to participate in some that I thought my chances would be reasonably high. I came across the DKNY Red Delicious Fragrance Launch.

damn...ain't she hot...

One of the highlights was to wear red on the day of the event launch at TANGS and get a free vial of the new perfume. The other was to bring a male partner and participate in an hourly game, from which the winner would walk away with a $168 DKNY voucher. I was definitely going for the big one since me and ZY were both relatively free that day.

We arrived at Tangs just slightly over 6 ( the promotion ends at 7) and there was an event booth stationed just at the entrance of Tangs, where Steven Lim is at usually. Oh btw, beware, because he seemed to have extended his territory to Lucky Plaza. Which reminds me, a male model from my agency reminds me of him. But I shall not digress. Anyway, as I approached the booth, I fished out the voucher cut out and seeing that I was wearing red, the sales promoters gave me a vial of the newly launched. BLoody hell...maybe it's because I'm super cheapo, but the vial is really a vial. I mean it was so tiny that I think I would finish it in like 2 sprays. So I was determined to play the game. From the promoter, we knew that the hourly event would start in approximately 15 minutes, so we lurked around the area near the booth for the whole 15 minutes. When the Deejays started talking, I dragged ZY and planted ourselves right in front of the stage, in clear view of the Deejays so that they wouldn't miss us even if they were terribly myopic.

The game kicked off with 2 couples on the grandstand, us and this other Malay couple. The Emcee would spritz the new fragrance onto one memeber in each team and the other member was supposed to point out where the perfume went to. I requested that ZY be the one to be smelt out because I had went around perfume testing before the game and had all sorts of fragrances all over me. Me and the girl from the the other team got blindfolded. Perhaps my unsually big head helped me because it stretched the blindfold cloth until it allowed some light to come through and I could vaguely make out where on ZY did they spritz the perfume on. Once somewhere on the left and once somewhere on the right. And they did not go too low. Once they said go, I pretend to fell around to find out where ZY was when I could actually see his outline right in front of me. Just as I was doing that, ZY pressed his left wrist onto me. It was still wet and I immediately went down to the level of his wrist and took a whiff~ There it was. And then to the next spot. That was a bit trickier. I thought it was somewhere on the right, somewhere from his armpit level to his waist, so I went up and down that area but I couldn't smell anything. Just then, the MCs announced that the 2nd couple had just found the first spot. Getting nervous, I made some "clue please" noise to ZY hoping somehow he'd understand me through telepathy. Responding to my noises, he made some noises that sounded like "higher", so I went higher, and there it was, the fragrance was lingering at the nape of his neck. Yay~ We won the $168 DKNY hamper!!!

The MCs presented us with a red, DKNY hamper, and the other team a whitish looking bag. *Chey* Heeh I like to win prizes...

Capping off the sultry experience, a sensual skin accord mixes with raspberry for a soft kiss of sweetness.

Joke of the Day...Engineers! *tsk tsk tsk*

DUring tutorial for History of military thoughts today, my lecturer from Australia told a very funny joke to demonstrate the point on how engineers are not the smartest people around. Well at least I thought it were hilarious. My kind of joke, and sorry to those engineers out there reading this...I'm not apologetic. Heeh

When a lecturer says "Good Morning" to a class from Arts, the students will reply by nodding their head.
When a lecturer says "Good Morning" to a class from Science, the students will echo back the same words.
When a lecturer says "Good Morning" to a class from Engineering....they'll write it down.

I don't like IMF

IMF IMF IMF...what the big fuck is that?
They created so much inconvenience for everyone because the whole Singapore is so worried that terrorist will attack the meetings. And because I am involved in entertaining the delegates, I find the whole thing very stupid. Maybe it's only the agency that's stupid. Maybe it's the client of the agency. But whatever the case, I don't like it. So what if ithe whole occasion gave me more jobs?? I can't take too much of it because I have 4 essays to hand in before the midsem break. Even so, it's a waste of time, standing by and waiting for them, and we are paid peanuts considering the waiting time spent. Nuff said~ I'm back to write my essay. I'll be back to complain somemore.

On Nietzsche and life

"Have you ever said yes to a single joy?
O my friends, then you have said Yes too to all woe.
All things are entangled, ensnared, enamoured;
If you ever wanted one thing twice, if ever you said 'You please me happiness! Abide, moment!' then you wanted all back.
All anew, all eternally, all entangled, ensnared, enamoured"

The universe is not made up of static, separate moments that can be identified and isolated. Rather, it is in constant flux, and everything in every moment is a part of this fundamental process of becoming. Thus, no moment of joy can be singled out from this flux and held on to as if it were separate from the rest. There are parts of life that are painful, that is, and parts that we love, but to want one part to the exclusion of the rest is to want something that is not life.
