If I am Ip Man master, I would...

....Train another Bruce Lee.

Because Ip Man is Bruce Lee's Master and Bruce Lee is missed by alot of people.


and because Bruce Lee was the one who inspired westerners to embrace the art of Chinese Kung Fu.

And I'm a proud Chinese because of that...even though I'm afraid of Chinese food.

For myself though.. If I am Ip Man master, I would want to create my own bubble and stay forever in it. I want world peace and I want all my loved ones to be in that bubble with me.

We would all be safe from attacks of back stabbers

And ghosts

...just to name a few.


Yes. I would love all that.

This is a picture of me getting my Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu thing going on.


....via Wii.

I am creating my bubble.

Yay gonna watch Ip Man 2 very very soon all thanks to http://www.gsc-eonbankcard.com/

I'm Going To The Gatsby Deodorant Street Fair!

I'm a sucker for crowds..big crowds because I love being around people. Get me to concert and you'll see me all hyped up. Get me to a bazaar and I'll be even happier because I could shop while enjoy being in the presence of awesome people.

Bah talking about this is making me miss events like Urbanscapes, Sunburst and the most recent one I've been to..St Pats!


One thing in common about these events are that they are in the outdoors. I don't normally enjoy being in the outdoors but somehow or rather I'm rarely disappointed with the outdoor events I've attended so far, sometimes even the unexpected downpour would potong stim a lil but I still enjoy myself very much at events like this.

I wish I brought my camera to St Pats so I would have more to post up :( But for now, I could only steal from the few people whom I snapped pictures with.

Something in common that I like about these outdoor events is Live music.

Eugene the rocker

It's always therapeutic to feng tao to some awesome songs. I try my best to layan any type of music, heck I was even screaming and trying to move to some of the lousy songs at Hennessy Artistry this year. I'm quite universal when it comes to music but I'm starting to appreciate songs with good lyrics more.

Most of the awesome outdoor events also have vendors displaying interesting items on sale. I love bargain hunting for artsy fartsy crap which explains the mess I have in my room. (I'm supposed to clean it :( )


picture stolen from @andygts

Oh and food! I've had some of the most awesome food at Urbanscapes and this lamb burger from Bull Dog Jestina and I had at St Pats was not too bad either. However, I really really wanted the Jarrod & Rawlins's Guiness Beef Stew with Mash that was sold out by the time I got there T_T. I could use some right now seeing how I waited for more than an hour for dinner tonight and walked out of the restaurant because I got sick of waiting!

As happening as any event may be, it's the people I go with who makes things better (or worse).

I'm thankful for having friends and colleagues who are so much fun to be around! *loves*

One thing though about attending any outdoor events is the tendency to sweat. I'll always be in sleeveless to avoid nasty underarm sweat stains but I'm also in dilemma especially when it comes to taking pictures because I have fat flabby arms.

I used to be able to cover my arms with my mane but not anymore since my hair is short. -__- So i guess the only solution would be to use antiperspirant. Can't seem to find one that actually works for me because I get immune to them with use.

Did i also mention that I've an extremely sensitive nose that enables me to detect the slightest traces of bad bad BO..unfortunately. This is inevitable especially in outdoor events in Malaysia..so poor me and my nose.

Speaking of body odour, I wonder if this Gatsby range is good though? It's only for men right? o_O Have yet to find out about the product but seems to me that they're having a street fair this coming April 17th at the front foyer of Berjaya Times Square from 10 to 5PM. Is the street fair for ladies as well? Don't discriminate us females can?


I want to go grab some cool gadgets and participate in the lucky draw for RM15,000 can? Or at least watch some silly dudes sumo wrestle in air bag suits and fight gladiator style *giggles*

Sounds like heaps of fun and something I'd enjoy. Plus point of this event is prolly less people with bad BO seeing it's organized by Gatsby hahaha! I sure hope they'd give out samples that day so it would be a pleasant smelling event. We shall smell see about that.

I will grow my hair out again!

This is not exactly an update but one of those bimbo hair ramblings that I'm about to write (I prolly shouldn't).

Check out my hair back in college, this was in 2005.

I will with all my might refrain from entering a salon, not until 2011!

Time Out During Work

Everyone gets their equal 24 hours, but why am I working at this hour (0044 hours) ?!

I am so sleepy.


My eye bags are so horrible these days that no make up can conceal them.

Erinn used to brand her bags (those underneath her eyes) Prada or was it Gucci?

Imma brand mine Lancel because I'm not so atas and I kinda spotted something I like sometime back when I was doing some research on the company. I'm not very well versed in the bags area, unlike belle who actually remember their names.

What about your bags (eye bags), where are they from?

By the way, a friend just got back from an interview from a company bringing in some of these big brands. I really hope she gets the job as she sounded really excited over the phone. I'm excited for her too because that would mean STAFF PURCHASE and being her friend for over *starts counting* 8 years? I might be able to share some of the benefits, right? Heh, a perfect example of BIRGing.

For psycho illiterate individuals, BIRGing means Basking in Reflected Glory, illustrated in the above situation where I'm trying to associate my friend's success to myself. Those football crazy people are also perfect examples of this social identity theory. In contrast to BIRGing, CORFing is where you try to disassociate with the failures of others, the acronym stands for Cutting Of Reflected Failure.

Enough about brands and psycho talking. Looking at my bank account (Contrary to popular belief, I do check my bank account!), I would not be able to afford anything from the big brands anytime soon. By soon I mean like 5 years? *sad*

Nvm, going bazaar shopping with some nuffies tomorrow before heading over the Jaya One for the Tiger *Rwar* run, sure hope there will be some awesome stuff at the bazaar tomorrow!

Ok done, back to work!

The spotted one.

I went on a 2 day photo shooting workshop with Belle sometime back and I found this interesting picture in the whole album of 500+ pictures.

This is a spotted branch, with not much leaves.

There are also nipples on this branch and I was trying to find the most interesting way to snap it. I failed miserably.

such an uninteresting picture of this very interesting looking branch. T_T

Tried shooting some other stuff like random withered leaves.

and random little girls with big cameras.


Yup so this was how I looked attempting to shoot some interesting shots. I'm shooting with belle's camera in the picture below.

I use a Nikon and not a Canon ogay!

My Dream in the year of the Tiger

I can't believe a month has come and gone in 2010 already! I did not make any new year's resolution this year because I knew how well would I stick to it.


To comfort myself, I shall consciously remind myself that I am Chinese and technically the new year has yet to come for me. Eh speaking of which, how are you prepping yourselves for the New Year? (The Chinese one!).

I still have some time to work on some New Year's resolutions hor since I'm Chinese and all? So here's my dream in the year of the tiger.

Imma come up with a list of random little dreams I have because the actual ones would take me forever to write about.

I want perfect teeth.

I've been having some sort of teeth fetish lately. I'm really attracted to people with beautiful smile (and sexy voices) so I would love to be able to smile wide and proud with my teeth properly inline and stainless.

I want gorgeous hair.

I just got a haircut that made me look 10 (ok la prolly 5 years) years younger. I want a haircut that is absolutely fuss free yet gorgeous cos now it would be literal suicide for me if I were to walk out of the door without fixing my bangs. To illustrate what I'm saying...I kinda look like this when I wake up..

Don't like cats. Eww.

This is the problem with having bangs la, gotta maintain the length and blow dry it to make sure it's not flat. =(

Another dream would be to get a Mazda CX9.

Why Cx 9 is because of the gorgeous curves it has. Don't talk to me about the specs inside of this beauty because all I'd care about is the looks of this ride. What to do, I'm shallow like that.

The above 3 dreams of mine can be made real with cash. So I'm hoping to get some (RM 8,888 is pretty attractive leh!) from the Nuffnang Tiger Run event this weekend @ Jaya One *fingers crossed*.

Maybe I should up my chances of winning (at least best costume?) by going to the event dressed like this.


Yes? No? Uhm? Ah?

Can I continue about my dreams?

Besides wanting some tangible dreams like the ones mentioned above I also want to...

Have a stronger heart.

Cos I'm easily bruised la. I think I'm way too emo for a 22 year old. I should be out there, doing what most 22 year olds do (What do they do?), be happy, cheerful. Not emo like me.

Besides that,

I want also be more positive in embracing whatever comes my way in this life.

Taking baby steps along my way.

Going against the flow if I have to to grow more positively as a person.

Strut around the streets alone in mismatch outfits that could possible get me summoned by the fashion police.

Be more independent and strong even if I have to walk alone. Because I've no idea what's ahead of me...

but I can prep myself with more positivity yea?

ps. No photoshop here, all pictures (except for the CX 9 & ugly cat one) is trademarked kontradikcion la. Maybe I would watermark the pics when I have access to photoshop.

Changed.

've finally upgraded my blogger layout to the .XML template, which is much more user friendly! kontradikcion has never had dark themed layout so this is another change for it. (is my blog a he, she or it?)


Can anyone help me? I'm trying to reduce the opacity of the colored box underneath the blogpost title. You know the one that's on top of every single picture in my homepage?

Also, how to not make my pictures shrink to fit the template image holder in my homepage? I want the holder to display a cropped image of my pictures that don't meet the specifications of the placeholder. I don't want my landscape pictures to shrink like that la. So ugly. deng. Is there also a way to show a standard image if my posts don't have any images?

I used to be way more gung ho in figuring out how to get all these things working.

By the way, I'm have alot of CNY songs stuck in my head as a result of going out to the malls infested with CNY songs and hanging around people who wouldn't stop playing them haha.

I shall end this post abruptly with a picture of me in a bright red outfit wishing you a Happy CNY in advance.

Beep beep!

Oh my gourd I need to renovate this space.

My layout only looks good on my laptop because I designed it based on the screen resolution of my laptop.

And no, I will neverrr design a layout with textured or colored BG anymore because I can't put up seamless photoshop doodles or photos I ps.

Like the bitter gourd image up there, look at it sitting so oddly in my blog because of the white bg of the picture. The image would look awesome, seamless if i had a white bg and not a textured one.

On to something happier.

I spent one of my last few 50 dollar notes on a beanie.

Photobucket

I don't really know why but I've been wanting to get one of these for quite sometime. It's weird that spending money on silly things like these make me happy.

I'm so shallow.

I choose to be. Not to say I'm not but I would rather be shallow than not. At least I make people feel smarter about themselves when they hang around me (Not that they necessarily are also).

Example, dumb blondes are always giggling and you can see how much laughter they bring to the people around them when they do silly things...so being shallow is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just about simplifying, seeing things as they are (choosing to deliberately ignore even the most obvious of signs that require you to analyze).

Simplifying whatever goes around in your life.

My excuse for being...

just plain stupid.

and shallow.

at least I'm happy right?

Color Me Corby

I've a thing for colors.

Photobucket

For example if i were to come up with a design of any sort i will incorporate the use of colors just to make things less dull. The amount of colors i use in any of my work kinda reflects the mood i'm in.

If you've followed my dead blog for awhile you'd know how much color i highlight my words with in my posts...heh.

Photobucket

My life is a colorful one.

I eat colorful food.

I have colorful friends. (Don't mean this in any bad way)

I like wearing colorful outfits.

Too bad I can't dig more pictures to write about my exciting life.



If I had to pick a color that would be my fav of the moment. I'd go for


"Yellow!"

Photobucket

I love this color so much I use it as a form of greeting because it sounds like hello.

Photobucket

So yea this is how I normally greet people on IM these days when I'm my usual chirpy self.

I think the color yellow and I have some kinda fate.

My first ever car was a yellow car, which i nicknamed "Wong Kam Kam" (meanin yellow yellow dirty fellow in cantonese) because of the color. The color is such an attention seeking color it made me shy because it was on a Nissan Sunny.

My Fav racer back tank top with the perfect cutting happens to be in yellow. I've had that top for a year plus and it's still my fav top.

I use a yellow mug in the office.

Photobucket

Courtesy from mum.


The songs i hum most of the time

"Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, it's been 3 long years, do you still want me?"

So If I were to choose among the four Samsung Corby colors,

Photobucket

It would be none other than yellow.

Photobucket

*distracted and starts humming*

We all live in a yellow submarine.
Yellow submarine, Yellow submarine.

Random picture of my primary school buddies.

I miss my once fab hair. My hair color was close to the color yellow too, now its boring black.

My Colleagues @ work

Brought my camera to work one day and just snapped around.

Sadly, my camera was low on battery and the office was quite empty so there were very little pictures snapped.

Jestina & Karen

I bug Jestina the most whenever I'm lost... and sometimes even when I'm not. She calls me camel because I (supposedly) drink alot of water but I somehow can't relate to the name yet.

Karen is my buddy buddy at work. We started about the same time and she's really fun to be around.


Rina & Nicki

It was Nicki's last day at work for her internship that day so Rina was giving her a big hug. Gonna be missing Nicki's presence but we'll meet again during movie screenings. Rina is Tim's ever reliable sexytary ( I remember Nat using this term b4 so I'm crediting her for it!).

Nuffies
For those of you reading who don't know already, I'm working at Nuffnang now and @ nuffnang, we are called nuffies.

Teddy on my desk
I use this teddy as my wrist rest. The right leg of this teddy is perfect to be used as a wrist rest.

More next time k?
