Here’s what I wore to the wedding – a nude lace maxi dress from Number Fifty@Mandarin Gallery.

I ordered the S$2 plate. Although the stall is pretty generous with ingredients, I prefer more black sauce on my Char Kway Teow as it adds to the overall flavour. This isn’t the best that I’ve tried but it’s value-for-money and worth a visit.

I especially love the frilly top and the pretty statement bow behind. Come to think of it, the ruffles and frills of this ensemble are reminiscent of a Latin dance costume isn’t it?

I was wrong. I ended up watching the movie through my fingers, my palms cupping the cheeks of my face. Admittedly, I am not the bravest of souls, but the drastic contrast between the demure, innocent 12-year old child and her transformation into a hideous blood sucking monster was too shocking.

On one hand, she was the reliable child-like confidante to a fellow 12 year old boy, but on the other hand, she was also a blood curdling menace who looks nothing like a 12 year old at the sight of blood.

One of the most frightening scenes was at an isolated underpass, where she lay in ambush in complete darkness, pretending to be injured and begging an unsuspecting jogger to carry her before attacking him. The scene was so gory it still makes me think twice about helping children in need!

The gore, the blood gushing down her fangs and her blood-soaked clothes (so unglamorous!!) sent shivers down my spine. These elements were ubiquitous throughout the movie. I wondered why she didn’t have the finesse of the vampires in Twilight and could never seem to clean up after herself. She always had blood dripping from her mouth, her clothes and the rest of her body!

I honestly couldn’t understand why the little boy never once flinched when she wrapped her bloody hands and body around him! I swear I would’ve died on the spot if someone did that to me.

Savage aside, the plot was very novel as it explored the psychological struggles, loneliness and trauma that a viciously bullied child would typically experience. The male lead was driven to desperation (omg his only friend was a vampire!) and the female vampire became his only companion for the rest of his life. The boy got himself a companion and life-time protection from bullies while the girl vampire got herself a slave to hunt down innocent human beings for their blood.

I don’t know how to explain this, but the film was touching yet inexplicably disturbing at the same time. I’ll rate this 4/5.

Go watch it if you haven’t already done so. I bet you would have sleepless nights thereafter. 😉

Camel is the new black for Fall 2010. I’ve always loved this colour but I didn’t know that this was THE colour for fall this year, at least not till I hit the stores and flipped through the magazines.

I like red too, but I don’t usually wear a lot of this colour for some reason. Coincidentally, bright red is another exciting hue to watch out for this season.

Mix these two colours together and voila, you’re all ready to paint the streets red this fall! Who would have thought that red and camel were such a good match?

Most importantly, these positive attributes permeate practically every stratum of its society, creating a wonderful living experience for inhabitants and visitors alike.

So enthralled am I by what this city has to offer that if I could choose to live in another city outside of Singapore, Vienna would most definitely top my list!

Some of you may recall that I purchased this pair of towering platforms a while ago. Here, I paired it with a slouchy beige minimalist top with black high waist pants, not my usual style, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to be more adventurous sometimes.
