The Investiture of Self

Thank God its Friday!!!!!!!!!

Urgh one of my bitches for 7 years here just went back to his hometown Malaysia for good last night... sadness befalls.

I cannot wait for the weekend!!!! Going shopping tomorrow, have to pick up so many things before i visit my fam fam next week!

Getting: THE Guccissima calf skin
Rapid White Teeth Whitener for my friend who now resides and work in KL. I am using it and my teeth is white!!!
Bonne Bell Sprite flavoured lip balm, gloss and rolleur. As in Sprite, that drink, flavoured. Yumness.
Kiehl's Calendula Non-Alcohol Toner, the best thing ever! Calendula rocks!!! I want to do an ad for this one.
A super glue to fix some of my broken stuff.. i am a really handyman.

I am also starting to pack now... and planning what to bring and what not too. I have not put together an outfit for the airport yet but i am thinking to wear something that says 'I am not a slut, but i am not a virgin either'.- A cardigan and my green leopart print scarf will be good to keep me snug, yay! And my new Nike shoe, yesh, the one that is quilted like a Chanel bag that i got from my Sydney trip late last year!! It is Orange and black... aka hotness... and expensive!

Just had my hair cut last week, thus it will be at perfection when next week comes (as it grows into that very natural nice tress). I love Leah from Edward Beale. I have to book her at least 4 days in advance and we totally connect, even if she charges me $50 for a haircut, it is worth it. She loves to listen to my travel stories and exploits and she is hot! Yay!

Have my appointment with my dermatologist set this coming Wednesday (whom I adore, she is the best! Monthly laser sessions have made me yound indeed but burns a hole in my bank account too). I have also just called for my Spray tan appointment this coming Thursday so that i look delish on my 4 day KL trip. I simply cannot wait.

8 more days to go... 8 the lucky Chinese number, yay! Doing gym daily so that I can look at my purr-fection prior of course. I deserve this holiday as i have been working my cute butt off.

Like what my friend Alv-gari says, I do deverve to get that Guccissima too for my birthday, even though i should be investing money or saving it up...fat bank account equals happy Adi.

Tales of a Prince‏

Herlowe eveybody.. i have patented my 'herlowe'.

No one shall use it, unless thay have my permission.
So I am in a new work environment now. I must say that it is.... different.
There is more drama in this store. More annoying people to serve. But i think that only good things will come out of it.

So in keeping with the times, one of my bitches will be leaving Melbourne for now. It will definitely be a sad loss.
On the lighter note, I am finally going on my 3 weeks holiday, which I am absolutely looking forward to!!!
I plan to not do too many things this holiday and simply take this time to reflect, ponder and project my direction in life.
I have been distracted for quite a bit of late, and i have to get back to my gear and follow the original plan.

I feel like i have been staying still of a long time while looking at the times passing me by. I can remember the time when i was 17 yeas old like yesterday, but look at me today at 23 yers old... where did that 7 years go? Surely 7 years is a long time. I feel like
I have been suspended on air for 7 years and not touched ground yet. I feel like it has been a series of changes and phases that i got through eventually and forgot. They were important lessons that i have learned, as part of growing up, but once i got through them, they seemed irrelevent and not important anymore. I have forgotten. I have not kept them and recordded them, so now i am left with this block of hollowness and my mind is questioning what it is, only to find that it cannot conjure up a logical answer.

Maybe the Prince is forgetful, maybe the Prince had been rather unhappy, maybe the Prince is waiting.

Waiting for the time where he can finally shine in his armour and his full glory. I realised today finally what that 7 years represent. It was not the most plesant memory but the 7 years is one of work, investment, dedication, heads down and sowing. There had been no result in the work so far yet. The Prince sometime would think that it s a futile effort, the seeds he sowed were in vain. Yet sometimes, it is the eye on the prize that kept the passion and fire burning in the life of the Prince. For deep insdie I know that i shall be rewarded handsomely for what i had put in.

It wasn't a case of lost in translation nor a case of self realisation. It is more like gaining new skills and abilities, become one who is beyond himself, expanding one's world and capabilities. The Prince would like to rise above the pack. In a world with so many problem and distraction, the Prince has decided to live a life according to the standard of his Kingdom and not of the world. And I will rise up one day and be crowned.

It is quite funny to write about his current state of feeling i am experiencing as I know that sometime will pass and i will have learnt from this state and moved on to the next. I only hope that one day i wil finally not have these chains of phases and settle down, touching the ground finally. Perhaps that will be the day I get married, although i think that i will remain the same even if i am married. Perhaps it will be when i have become a father. Or perhaps when i find myself with my dream job finally. No matter when that time comes, i know that it will come. And i hope that 7 is my lucky number.

Didigraphy

Happy Lunar New Year everyone! Gong xi fa cai. May you be blessed with wealth and prosperity and many grandchildren.

It has been a while since I wrote about a more superficial blog. The previous artikelen have all been real emotional and deep and explore the many facets of human flaws and behaviors. so i thought, why not have one that touches the surface? One that caresses only the exterior? One that merely hinted a scent of contempation?

Didigraphy: A list of things that have touched Didi's current lifestyle.

1) ghd- also known as good hair day. A string of bad hair days tormented me at the start of January. Thus, i have invested in John Freida's Brilliant Brunette range. Well, i must say that i have my mom and John Freida to tank for being a Brilliant Brunette. I simply swear by the shampoo and conditioner and is so moisturing and the leave in Shine Shock that makes my hair so illuminated. Money well spend.

2) One of my favourite things in life happen to be very superficial. Designer candles and room spray. If i ever own a pillow mist, i may be overdoing things, but life is complete with a $50 scented candle and a $30 room spray from Crabtree & Evelyn. My room is my sanctuary, and divine it smelled.

3) Bronze bedframe: when my sis's friend wanted to get rid of her designer bedframe, I became the answer. I almost got a new one, but decided to adopt this beautiful bedframe. It fits into my room perfectly and is so delicious as i can store my winter clothes under it! The downside? I got ripped off $165 by the delivery truck man as they charged me 1 hour 30 minutes to move from QV to my place... it should only take 45 minutes maximum.

4) Ingenious storage. So i spend like $50 on storage bags for my winter clothes and $100 in Officeworks for boxes to store my documents. However, these storage bags and boxes can be used over and over and oer again. Plus they look really pretty.

5) BodyPump class at the gym. Sometimes i just want to be killed, and to do that, i attend the BodyPump class. I really like to develop my upper torso and my legs, and this class will make me into a Hercules. That i am sure....

6) Yoga: The best way to forget the stress of the day and let your body reconnect with yourself. It is like detox for the soul. And it tones up the core muscles to help us live longer.

7) Dr. Lewinn's S8 Anti-wrinkle serum. With caviar and blackcurrent, you can't go wrong. It may cost $90 for a tube, but i like to look young and not end up some wrinkly old fart. I am aging every second unfortunately and i will cling on anything that could reverse it.

8) Q silica Gel and Rose Hip Oil: My hair felt significantly stronger and my skin more taut after taking this twice daily. On top of that, i apply rose hip oil daily, especially after a sunny day to help the skin recover.

9) Cotton On. Simply the best. Cheap and good. I have been wanting a red tartan shirt for a while and saw many labels which price tag them for $60 and above. With this bad economy, i rather save the cash/invest them on something woth it. Then i came across this really nice red tartan shirt in Cotton On, exactly what i am looking for, size S at $10. It was a good day, i had tears in my eyes.

10) Mario Puzo. Well he is not a thing but rather a person/writer. However, his books rocks! I never thing that i am interested in complicated gangland mafia boss novels, however, Puzo is such a good write in so many levels. And his book has depth and quality. It has multiple stories in a story, multiple cultures in the American culture and alot of drama and gory details. Love it.

So there you have it, Didigraphy, a list of things that have touched Didi's current lifestyle. I hope that it had not bored you to sleep... or in Didi's case... beauty sleep.
