verily verbose but fantastic...

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

please go watch v for vendetta...

bridesmaid for rent...

my friend got married yesterday... what i mean by married is that they went through the traditional chinese ceremony and stuff and threw a wedding dinner at night... they are actually 'officially' married in the eyes of the law already (since last year i think...)

anyway... was part of the 'bridesmaids'/sisters gang... basically a tradition in singapore is to have friends of the bride (usually gers) to try and block the groom frm entering and claiming his bride till he's paid up... and after he's done many stupid tricks... ahhaha all in the name of fun of course..

and it is true wat they say... when u're a bride.. u look gorgeous full-stop =)

but what's not so good is the travelling and waiting! a wedding couple on their big day has to:
- ger wakes up super early to get made up...
- guy travel frm home to pick up bride
- couple proceeds to guy's home to do tea ceremony at his pl
- loads of waiting done before ceremony starts
- ger changes outfits
- couple travels back to ger's home to do tea cermony at her pl
- more waiting before ceremony
- travel to wedding dinner venue
- go to hotel/hom and take a rest
- ger gets second round of makeover
- wedding dinner starts (LATE)
- ger changes into another outfit
- after around three/four dishes couple do toasts to guests on stage
- walk round the tables taking photos...
- ger changes outfit again *if she has*
- stand at the door to say thanks and good bye...

and this is juz a super concise list... heh...

but it was fun... i bot a really nice dress... =D

my new 19" monitor!

my new 19" monitor!, originally uploaded by i am yj.

juz got a new Samsung 19" monitor today from the IT show for $429... which i think is a pretty good deal considering the 17" ones are goin for 350 on average... the previous CRT monitor died (think the cable fried) so the heavens conspired such that i was able to get an LCD screen (AT LAST!)

in other news... i've been bz and lazy to update my blog and i apologise... =P
