Stop blaming us

It's absurd that TCB's voters are blaming TJS & even his voters. TJS had managed to garner 1/4 of Singaporeans' votes in a short span of 9 days. 529,732 (25.4%) is a sizeable number & it's unreasonable to demand that all of us switched sides.

I had thought about swinging my vote to the one that's more popular too. But you saw for yourself, the difference between TCB's & TJS's votes was a mere 9.81%. Online polls & rally showed TJS leading but yet on the ground was another story. None of us had an inkling on how the votes would swing.

And so I decided to go with my candidate of choice. I didn't choose TJS only for the sake of choosing an opposition, nor was I daft enough to be lured by his 'promises' without knowing what our constitution calls for. I read whatever I can lay hands on & watched every interview just so to be sure. I believed in what TJS stood for, just as you all had believed in what TCB stood for. I stand by my vote even though the result is as such. I did what I thought was best. Respect my vote as I had yours.

Both you & I had started out with the same vision & we had a common enemy. So why the finger pointing now? If you really must find someone to blame, blame the 37k who can't make up their mind & blame the 35.19% who were too short-sighted to see.

Tougher days ahead are looming & now is not the time to be divided.

Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension

Meg & I were invited by the very kind people from T/PR & Disney Channel to watch the premiere of 'Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension' in Shaw's Premiere Hall.

"The story begins on a summer afternoon in Danville. While celebrating the anniversary of getting their beloved pet, Perry, imaginative stepbrothers Phineas & Ferb are catapulted into Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Evil Inc., where they encounter a machine that opens portals into other dimensions. Phineas & Ferb travel to Alternate-Danville, the eerily familiar dimension resembling their home in the Tri-State Area. There, they come face to face with their alter-egos, while their faithful pet Perry reveals a secret of his own. "

The experience of watching the movie in reclining deluxe leather seats snuggled up in blankets & each with a big bowl of popcorn in our hands was totally fantabulous. Not to mention the joy of each receiving a huge goody bag, thrilled us to bits! But perks strictly aside, Meg & I both were thoroughly entertained by the movie. It's hardly surprising to me that we'd enjoy it because Phineas and Ferb is one of the few cartoon that Meg watches nowadays & one of the few that I personally take delight in.

So make sure you & your kiddos don't miss it this coming Saturday, 27 August 2011, at 7.30pm on Disney Channel!

Gorgeous Marissa for Lil' Sweethearts

I took on my 1st photography assignment with Lil' Sweethearts. The sky was threatening to rain (and it did!) on the day of the shoot & thus I didn't have too much time to think through or compose. There's definitely room for improvement but still, I must admit that I'm awfully proud of myself!

However, it definitely helps to have a pro for a model. Meet Marissa. She's 7 & absolutely gorgeous. When I asked for her help, she took it seriously & practiced plenty at home plus making sure that she doesn't run around too much on the day of the shoot, so that she doesn't perspire. Mel, you did such a wonderful job with her!

Marissa's wearing Paisely Dress priced at $19.80. (I totally adore this dress!)

The good people at Lil' Sweethearts are giving my dear readers a whooping 10% discount off all purchases when you quote coupon code: gorgeous01. Plus they offer flat rate shipping which means that the more you buy, the more you save!
