So True....Soccer Fan I am not

I am changing my So True thing to be on any day because it is too hard for me to remember on Thursdays. Anyways, I was soooo busy last week with this big conference and we had a last minute event with some soccer stars. And like apparently everyone and their mothers know who these soccer stars are, but I had never heard of them. Do you recognize these people? (they get more famous the further you go!)

Well if you didn't recognize them, don't feel bad neither did I! They are Cobi Jones, Eric Cantona and Pele, who apparently is as big of a deal as Muhammad Ali, but I actually did not have the patience to finish reading the wikipedia article on him so I am not sure if that is correct. In fact, he is such a big deal that almost everyone I have met since I found out we were hosting this event, has known who he is! I even spent most of the time pretendning to know who he is...and agreeing that he is this super influential athlete when I still have no idea why he is SOOOO awesome. What is with the world's obsession with soccer? It seems like a bigger deal than the olympics, but its just one sport.

I mean guess I should be really impressed by meeting then, but instead they will forever be ingrained in my mind as the three soccer stars who made my life incredibly stressful for one week!

Picture from our event

So tell me this...are you a soccer fan??

Steve Madden = Brian Atwood?

Remmber the Brian Atwood pumps i coveted on my Chistmas Wishlist? I found a nearly EXACT copy on the steve madden website for much less money...what do you think which one is real...and which one is fake?

Don't they look freakishly similar?!! the second ones are the Brian Atwood ones. Its shocking to be how exact the copy of the shoe is! I mean is that legal? Well the second I see the Steve Madden ones at the Singapore shop I think I am totally going to buy them! I mean gah..they are just sooo drool worthy! And as much as I wish I could buy the real ones...thats just not happening especially not in Singapore. Until next time, xxoo!

Hua Hin and Nikoi Island

This past week J and P and I nailed down two more awesome trips to take coming up. I finally got to use Jetsetter (my secret obsession) and booked us an amazing pool villa at Hua Hin, Thailand. It is the city that the royal family traditionally vacations in or something awesome like that. I love Jetsetter...because A) it shows me places I would never have thought of going to (like I had never heard of Hua Hin) B) there are GREAT deals and C) it is just so fun! Remember that sale I mentioned in this post, that tiger safari through India? It is on sale again!! Aaah I want to go sooo badly.

Ok anyways back to the point...J and P and I will be travelling to Hua Hin in May! And we will be staying in a private villa at the Six Senses Evason Hua Hin Resort with our own pool and floating tub. How jealous are you?

I am soooo excited! I can't wait to get tan, explore a new city, and just take a break from the duldrum that is Singapore.

Then on an even more exciting front, J and P and I FINALLY after months of talking about it decided to book a trip to Nikoi Island in July. Why July you ask? Well because this resort on a private island in Indonesia that is a 1.5 hour boat ride away from Singapore is COMPLETELY booked every weekend until then! Insane right? I mean this place must be killer and I can't wait to see it for myself.

I mean don't you just die looking at this picture?! It looks like paradise and I have been dying to go here for ages and I can't believe we are finally going!

I think this year in Singapore will pass like a breeze. So many trips and so little time! I cannot wait! Until next time, xxoo lovelies!

Nails and New Shoes

Hi world! I had a really great and relaxing weekend....first on Saturday I got my nails done for the first time since I got back to Singapore. I got calgel nails last time I was home and it stayed unchipped and perfect for 5 weeks! Awesome right? I do love calgel. J and I went to holland village to my favorite nail place in holland village and had a relaxing lunch there.

Then on Sunday, J and I had a great time walking around arab street and HAJI LANE! My favorite place to shop. I got these amazing Melissa shoes. I'm like sooo in love with them. And not only are they cute, they are super comfy!!! I am hoping I can wear them to work...I just need to come up with the perfect outfit! What do you think would go with these? I was thinking a nude shirt dress?

I love lazy weekends! Such a bummer that I have to go back to work tomorrow! I love weekends! Until next time, xxoo from Singapore!

So True Thursday....Chosticks Confession

So I have a confession...I don't know how to use chopsticks properly! As an Asian (American) living in Asia, it is a pretty sad fact. I use chopsticks by holding them like a pencil and then criss crossing them. They technically still work, but just not as well...like I can't pick up bigger things like tofu very well. Its kind of sad, but usually no one notices.

Anyways this past weekend I went to this cute cooking shop at Chip Bee Gardens called Pantry Magic, and i found THESE....

How cute are these?! They have hellow kitty at the top! I just used them to eat noodles and let me tell you it was so much easier than my normal chopstick weilding. I totally think I should carry these around with me now...what do you think? They are just too cute. Until next time, xxoo!
