in my head : energy - the apples in stereo

this weekend i did absolutely nothing except spend money . as a result , i'm determined not to eat out for the next month . i know it's a stretch but i am a firm believer in setting impossible goals to make yourself feel as small and as much of a failure as possible . i'm still looking out for studs to do some DIY projects so if you've got any ideas please let me know ( i've already checked lincraft and clegs but they've only got the boring stuff ) .

the grand plan on thursday was to visit the ksubi sale but as usual everyone woke up late and by the time we got there the queue was about 2 blocks long . not cool . we adjourned to breakfast at issus along the street opposite degraves ( cause we don't really know the name and i can't be bothered to google map it ) . food is really good , but i wouldn't recommend the chai latte and they must've given me like four eggs . i do prefer my eggs runny although i can't fault them since i didn't really specify that i wanted them runny . i was just really hungry .


jinners + sam , caught off guard .

TGIF : sergio invited us over to his place for dinner cause his parents are in townnnn . . mom and pop's make us miss home loads ! their food was beyond delish , tow-gay , steak , salmon , fried rice , spaghetti , cookies , cake . . YUM !

soho-ho-ho-ho-is-a-hooooooo

in my head : 25 minutes - michael learns to rock

ah , the song brings back such awesome memories . . those nights when xiao fei and i still stayed in the same room with double-deckered beds and parquet flooring that had seen better times ; those nights when ey ey would hunker down at the desk in our room and study for mid-terms / finals .

so if you guys must know , i returned the shoes . the velcro did really bother me , and ever since sam pointed out that the front looked a bit weird , i must admit that i haven't really looked at them in the same lusty light . it does pain me that i returned something so beautifully studded ( STUDS ARE THE BOMB ) , but i think i will find something that makes me want to die just a little more .

nothing much has been happening down under . i'm either at school / home / aldi . the assignment that i planned to finish is an astounding 3000 words ( but sarah's much worse off because her's is 4000 ) and i'm only at 600 : / . today was really bleary and i've never felt more alone wandering the streets of melbourne and camping out at gloria jean's with a stack of mags . when i returned home i just spent even more time looking at impossible things on impossibly amazing people . i've a bad case of lusty-envy-itis . which made me spring for two items ( TWO ! ) that i probably shouldn't have but i've been on the look out FOREVER . i won't tell you what they are until i get them but let me warn you , these are very exciting times . : D

couple of things that are on my mind :


tux-inspired one-piece swimmer from pretty woman

i watched this again ( for the millionth time ) and this time noticed the swimmer . reminds me of the tigerlily tux inspired bikini .


givenchy bird cage ankle booties

can you say sex ten billion times over ?

hi everyone . my name is sophia and i am a shoe addict . but seriously , isn't this fucking mind blowing on a trillion levels ? i want them ; even if i have to starve for the next month or i have to create my own new holiday like christmas where gift exchange is mandatory . i need them like a starving man needs food . I NEED THEM .


carrie's tulle tutu-inspired skirt

i have been going out of my mind for this skirt ! originally , i planned to wear this for the big TWENTY-ONE but i couldn't find one that was even CLOSE to what it looked like . everywhere i went were either too elaborate ( bridal underskirts ! ) or too weird ( punk-ish overdone ones ) . i can't believe that it only cost $5 ( from SJP's own wardrobe ; vintage too ) and it almost didn't make it too the show ( producers thought it was a bit too much ) .

photo cred : southern weddings magazine

so exactly how i ended up looking at a wedding blog is purely accidental ( i'm not that girl who envisions her wedding down to what colour the pen for the guestbook is going to be ; i don't even think about my own wedding . i do , however , think about everyone else's wedding because weddings are fun ) . but shoot me dead and send me to heaven . the weddings on the blogs are outrageously fantastic and makes me want to drag the boy down the aisle in a flurry of tulle and glitter . i've never been more inspired to flounce down the aisle . if i ever get married , these are going to be mandatory :

1. ugly photos of the bride + bridesmaids , and groom + groomsmen
   
2. cupcakes ( it would appear that cupcakes are as crucial to a southern wedding as pink is to xx )
3. shutter shades GROOMSMEN MUST ALL WEAR SHUTTER SHADES IN DIFFERENT COLOURS
4. the ultimate wedding shoes ( the gold stud-like ones are close to perfect )
5. an awesome photographer to capture everything
   

so if soho does get married , please make yourself available and ugly . toodles pooples .

soho - " dang dang dang dang "

in my head : clean getaway - maria taylor



i need to make a clean getaway .

away from your excuses and your apologies
away from our fights and the screaming
away from the farce that is our perfect relationship .

i love you ; i just don't know how to be with you .

let's go away ;
just leave what we know and get away ;
go where we can drink melting margaritas in the hot hot sun and laugh about the days that are long gone .
let's go away .





xoxoxoxo ,
soho is going to borders because books , unlike people , can't talk back .

in my head : intense techno stuck in my head because of kenneth's ipod

last sunday we had the most well planned barbecue EVER . for once , when i turned up at the host's ( linette ) house , the food was all packed and ready to be transported to the venue ( claire's place ) . i have never seen such a variety of food at a single barbecue that did not involve adults . i think that's because most student barbecues involve that nasty thing called a BUDGET , so what you usually get is run of the mill hotdogs ( those packaged in tens vacuum sealed in tacky fairprice plastic ) , chicken wings that someone very badly marinated and you're lucky if you get any red meat , let alone steak ( cause cow can be so expensive in singapore ) .

this was NOT that kind of barbecue . this barbecue had EVERYTHING . chicken , fish , seafood marinara mix , lamb chops , two types of chicken wings ( TWO ! ) , steak , eggplant , potatoes , salad , cheesecake , jello shots , cupcakes , pecan tarts , mooncake , beer , baileys and coke . it was the post-morphology-pre-crunch-time barbecue . it was the one barbecue to rule all student barbecues . it was damm awesome ; except for the pit which the previous peeps left in a really fucking disgusting-doesn't-even-begin-to-describe-it condition and the weather .


uncle jon and his trolley .


on route to claire's house .






i was snapping a picture of claire snapping a picture of me . and sarah's just . . being sarah .


the food .


the other chicken wing marinated in teriyaki sauce .


jumping shots where i look really gross and claire manages to do the perfect shot almost everytime .


oh the poor deprived international students descended on the lone mooncake like vultures that have been starving for DAYS .






the boys at the pit


the marinara mix with garlic butter . . mmmmm . .


chicks and their chicken wings .






the night ends with much drinking and 007-bang !




and jon , what would the night be without a drunk jon . : )




thanks linette for holding the much needed barbecue !





xoxoxoxo ,
soho smells smoking hot .

in my head : pray - take that

you can usually tell if i'm having a bad day / week / month . i do either one of two things : i cook + bake OR i shop . i think the pictures tell you how much " FUN " i had last week .


it started off with us planning halloween outfits and brainstorming clothing ideas for all the parties sam has to attend ( yes , she's now a regular fixture on the party circuit unlike yours truly )


which resulted in this !

but then the week wore on and i needed to bake .


look lianne ! i made FILLED CUPCAKES WITH ICING ! : )




my experimental old fashioned chocolate cupcakes with a kaya filling and coconut buttercream frosting . next time i'll do either the cupcake with the kaya or the cupcake with the icing . the two didn't quite work but people still finished them !


at e-jin's house with sho chiku bai ; which sounds a lot like so chee bai


and his gross finger cast which is finally off !

the baking didn't really do much to make me feel better , so on impulse , i , uh , caved , and bought these - andrea and joan for sportsgirl .


awesome heel


studs studs studs studs

that helped , for a little while but then i started fretting again so i did what i knew best - i cooked . kung pao chicken that was a little too salty so i'll tweak the proportions next time round .


stir fry the marinated chicken


remove the chicken and add the dried chillies , ginger slices and chopped garlic


throw in the roasted peanuts , chicken and sauce .


kung pao chicken with blanched bok choy


and palahniuk's new book which is so good i finished it the same night i brought it home !





the weather is freaky-deaky and my assignments are still there .



xoxxoxoxoox ,
soho : another day , another night .
