I've finally let go

I've finally let it outta my hands

and i guess it aint that bad..

as of today

its all good

i guess not all bad things happen during 9/11

Booofffff

this whole bed rest, pills popping, OD-ing of tea thing is not quite working for me...

the only thing currently keeping me sane is Grey's....though im almost done with Season 3 and is desperately in need for the 4th...otherwise i might just go insane doing the whole stare cock at ceiling thing to keep my nose from running away....

clearly, its the pills that are making me desperately craving for some kick buttocks Msian food...say...Assam Laksa....*drools with excessive saliva*

seriously..im constantly thinking about it...

but the last i had couple of weeks ago was so horrifying it might as well put me into bed rest for the next 2 years...

the closest I got was the roti canai (oh thank lord) and teh tarik the other time

with CaptCurry and SamBoss

that was the closest we got...but still not quite there...

Its driving me nuts knowing that i wont be going back for a whole damn year and not being able to savour at least the smell of Ahma's Assam Laksa and Perut Ikan...(Im nyona like tat)

now the only thing i smell is.....nothing...

my nose is sooo blocked i couldnt even taste the Green Curry i had last night.....

I dun think i'll even be able to taste the Pho im having for dinner tonight....

this is not good

i need McDreamy to come save my life....while i look at McSteamy.....and eat my McPho

then ill be McHappy and McHealthy

The Flu bug flew into my nose and bit me

cos now with a runaway nose, sore eyes, bad arse fever and the worse of a XXX.....

i feel like i've just ran a 40 day marathon with a Saguaro cactus shoved into my arse...im in pain....boo hoo

i think this would prolly be my 3rd bug attack ever since i got to Sydney....jeez- us-cries....

CaptainCurry said he'd only make me a get-well-soon card instead of the proper medicare he should be providing to a sick girl like me..

i suspect this is his way of revenge for i neglected him while he had his tonsils attacked couple weeks ago and didnt bring him my infamous home-boiled soup as promised...hoho

cis...revenge is never sweet....boo CaptainCurry....

When i was healthier,loved and awfully distracted...along with MsImSoJik, MyNomadPartner and SirHoward

SirHoward and the sick while we fed ourselves to stupid mosquitoes

I need lotsa love and laughters before i regain my health status back....thank god i still have that....

*switch to recovery mode

*currently O.D-ing on chamomile tea and honey...was told it works wonders...

Nu NU NUUUUU items babiess

I’ve always fed myself with good food

But found it astoundingly amusing while I was walking on the streets today with SMH’s Good Food Guide on one hand and the crappiest ever salmon maki roll on the other.

Hunger took over the beast. Beast was not happy. Beast was angry.

It was so bad even a perfectly marbled, over done wagyu beef slammed with aweful BBQ sauce would taste twice better than that maki..

Oh no no..how could i even have said that....that would be kitchen sin No. 1.....

correction*

It was so bad even Singz's microwaved mix of nutella and peanut butter (full bottle) with extra chunk of vanilla ice cream would taste good.

*shiversss*

but thank god for good shopping to clear the mind and soul.....oh Hallelujah

MyNomadPartner n I was told about this must-go-market-for-vintage-die-hard-fans and bringing along heaps of cold hard cash was vital...

Only opens on the 1st sat of each month, i cancelled shift that day

this is what i attempted: erm..i cant do this Sat, er..ive got a religious prayer to attend to....yeah...*hopeful look*

God, even a deaf would know i was lying knowing how religiously religious i am as a being....

TheManager gave me the 'weird-eyed-OH' look and striked my shift off the roster

*flash teethy smile*

Lying is VITAL for emergencies like this.....i had no other choice...

Oh the LOVE

I wouldve spent more time at this store if i wasnt that much vertically challenged

i could barely reach those high hung hangers...

yeeessh

Fisherman clad in couture

oh yum-ness

reliving the old bag lady

I wouldve steal that old skool fan if the store lady wasnt watching every move i made

This dog was the size of a pony....he is EXTRA LARGE.....half my height and workin it with all the ladies...

This dog was the size of a pre-matured chicken...he/she is EXTRA SMALL...as tall as my ankle and still workin it with all the ladies..

You'd sure be seeing me here every month having multiple dates with all the happy clothing...who wants to make a date with me?

KAWA

We managed to stop by for some lunch at our favourite cafe, Kawa

This place was love at first sight as far as i can remember...its the ideal blabbering / people watching spot in town...

and every other person who walked by looked like they just came out from a photo shoot for YEN

As much as i hate to admit it, the food isnt exactly avant-garde wowa potential , if it wasnt for the interior/ppl watching factor, i would never come back the 2nd time...

We fell in love with these china teapots

funny how a similiar lookin one like this back home wouldnt even turn my eye

and yet the ones here make me drool

pppfftt

Her American Breakfast

My Smoked Salmon salad with poached eggs

pale salmon=no good

My Breakfast eyes...was still half asleep+full on Grey's marathon last night

and hence the poof eyes

dddddoooooooo

Give it a try for everything but the food...its one of those places where u'd wana just sit foreva, daze into the sky and think about char siew pao.......oh, thats what i call life.....

Stiletto's thumbs up: the old vintage furnishings + teapot

Stiletto's restaurant rating: 3.5 inches for merely the whole experience

BBQ City

Oh we be doing some vanity driven activities

6 of us met up for some Korean BBQ the other night for some good ol' kimchi ji gae hot pot, marinated ribs, oink belly belly and a full on selection of korean side dishes (my personal faves)

Oui's so crazy it hurts to see her

However tacky the name might sound, this place offers pretty decent korean bbq...similiar with the other more popular joint, Ma Dang....(which seems to inherit the most support amongst Sydney-ians...i beg to differ)....BBQ city...aint that bad...

Not WOOOWW....but it aint that bad...

I never eat Korean food without Kimchi Ji Gae...cos

a) i worship it

b) i cant live without it

c) Korean food is not korean food without good ol' Kimchi Ji Gae

Its so Korean that every housewife in Korea owns their very own Kimchi fridge...meaning they have 2 fridges...one for everything but Kimchi....and another for everything Kimchi...me is not lying...go ask any Koreans...they will tell u about their Kimchi Fridge....

its pretty amazing...i want my own Kimchi Fridge..i would have my children and grandchildren own Kimchi Fridges too

This place is packed most of the time..queuing up for ur table is second nature....patience bring you to good food...but patience made me so darn freakin hungry i almost died...it wasnt pleasant to watch..

the thing is with this place...i was surprised really....was that they didnt have those smoke absorber thingies u'd usually find in every korean bbq joints....which is baaaaddd newsss.....really....and no windows were left open..

having to walk around the city smelling like u've been in a salami smoke house for 3 years....not very attractive i tell ya...its so bad even your leather belt would smell

if you're not prepared to smell like salami and have people stare at u like ur a pig...dun even step near this place...it is bbbbaadddd....

Stiletto's thumbs up: Pork Belly

Stiletto's thumbs down: horrible ventilation

Stiletto's restaurant rating: 2.8 inches 

Doin the Juggle

I've been bz juggling between work (mostly), social life and shopping that ive neglected any form of creative-based activities that makes me sane....or at least partly sane...

which sucks.....

cos i've got so much working up on my brains...and yet nothing working on my fingers....

Being solely run by me, Stiletto Joolz currently has zero inventories despite the hefty amount of resources..

those lil things are literally shouting out loud....'MAKE MEEEEEE...mmaakkkeeee meeee...'

i know i should...but i've just no time and energy to sit in my bath tub with my imaginary rubber duck and ber-Stiletto Joolz....

but i will...and i need to....keep myself sain....at least

and bcos i juggle

That booty shaker

Only after 3 weeks

Doin the sling back

Dockin it

He shouldn't have chopped the locks

Because We love boys

Because she loves her alcohol

Torso Corso Designs

Because i think they're worth a mention... because it made me go 'Woh'....and because i know i wouldnt've even came close to imagine makin it....

Inspired by voodoo, tribalism and bands from NYC, Torso Corso handmades these body parts of toes, fingers and ears using resin.

They look pretty darn real to me...and its hell good of a craftmens work....

They're fliying off to Harajuku for the Design Festa Gallery early November...i want to gooooooooo.........

Its nice to see and wowowow and all...but wearing it is another question....for me that is...=)

Moet et Chandon (Pronouned Mo-Et....not Mo-Wee ppl..MO-ET)

We had this French man fly down to Sydney to give us some tell-it-all-know-it-all for their Moet range today.....in freaking French-glish and boy did i dug my ears left right centre trying to pick up any audible sound of real English.

it went something like this:

'eh eh eh....zee shom pan re shon is zee..eh.on zee re shon zat can..ehh..label zee yar speh kling wines az shom pan..,'

when it really should sound like this:

' the champagne region is the only region that can label their sparkling wines as champagnes'

we know it sounds all sexy and all, with that whole French flair going on and perfect French cut suit and beautiful French made cufflinks ....

but dayymmnn....me is speak England...me no speaking French-glish eh eh eh....

Putting that all aside....i surprisingly enjoyed my glass of Brut Imperial NV and Nectar Imperial...it was loooveellyyy lovveelllyyy....

I would've taken a picture of how bloody red i became after the tasting session...but SirNikon decided to went amiss on me today....and hence the nil.

and on other side of things....

why should one even want to drink coffee if they're ordering a decaf skinny mocha with equals on the side? really?...

and and and..

and now apparently this huge trend in the US for big money spenders is to pamper their pets wit testicular transplants, dog perfumes, cosmetic surgeries....

so just you know...in case the public might recognise their famous guinea pig walking down on Rodeo Drive not smelling like Coco Chanel Madamoiselle....its just not very celebrity-like u know......sweat

Me rambling about people, their drinking preferences and plastic pets in the wee hours of the morning....not very nice....

rough night..

i need a breather

Must-Dine-List

I came to Sydney with the ultimate most ultimate goal of dining at Tetsuya's

cos i know if i didnt...i would be whoopslash by my evil twin at the most porno of places till i R.I.P due to excessive stupidity...

Tets my baby.....big momma's coming to kiss that perky ass of yours.....lick it...and say my grace
