Guy No. 1

Toni & Guy exchange student from New Jersey. Born in Malaysia, grew up in New Jersey, so considered Chinese, right? Went back after course ended, and whatever was going on between us ended as well. Hello, Perry. Yeah, whatever. Nothing much to say about this because we completely lost contact. LOL.

Guy No. 2

One of the biggest mistakes of my life. He moved on to convert to Islam a year or so later, and got married to a fellow Muslim girl last year. Idonotwanttocommentonreligionissuesbecauseitissensitive. Everyone came to me and told me, and asked me why he was "so weird". I don't know, don't ask me. But what fucking pisses me off is that he's trying to be holy and shit (no matter which God) when we all know a leopard never changes its spots. We all know his "past" life of one-night stands and also, he told me before, "I don't want to get married." Not to me, but in general. (Thank God, not to me. It would be disastrous, and a bigger mistake than it already is!) And now what? He's married. And he said if ever he impregnates a girl, she was to abort the baby. And I said, "Okay, but won't you be guilty since it's a part of you also?" His answer, after a second of thought, was, "I'd like to think all kids below the age of 12 go to Heaven." FUCK YOU. Like you know. Like you can judge. Like you're God. So don't come be all holy with me when you're nothing but scum through and through. I pity your wife.

Guy No. 3

Useless good-for-nothing, only fixated on making music and being famous but constantly falling short. Always forming new bands with the same old people, talking like everyone is a groupie. Don't ask me what I was thinking. I don't know. But all I know is that birds of the same feather fuck together because I found him in bed with my ex-friend. Jerk and hoebag, you know the awesome combination. Dude, please don't email me and say hello when you're the one who did the sorry stuff. *piteous look* That is so wrong. And as for that whore, glad to know she's still so interested in my life because hers is just so not happening (according to her bird of the same feather that she fucks together with, anyway). If you are not interested in my life, then why do you keep coming back to read my blog? Ahhhh. There you go.

Guy No. 4

We could complete each other's sentences and we loved A LOT of the same things. He made me laugh all the time, and he showed me how love actually really felt like without even meaning to. He was my motivation to get out of bed in the morning (instead of now, like in the afternoon because I spend the middle of the night missing him and not sleeping). He made me feel like I could overcome anything, and I was so positive and soooo determined. Basically he was the love of my life. But I lost him because I confessed, and he said he still wanted to keep up with me... But then less than 2 weeks later, he vanished into thin air. Nope, doesn't help that it's long-distance. Yep, I cannot find him. I am an "I-love-you" prude because I've never said that to any guy before in my entire life. And the first time I said it (which was like, after a year), it fuckin' backfired on me. HA-HA-HA. I am such a loser. Yes, I'm mocking myself, so you don't have to do it for me. I still think of him, I am not over it and whatever shit that is happening in my life right now all traces back to him: I have no motivation or drive to start new things or complete what I've already done halfway - which means I cannot wake up for castings and it's a chore to wake up for jobs, and I just quit property. I sleep at 7am till as late as 5pm and there is not one day that goes by without me thinking of him. It's been 2 months and 20 days. And counting. Katy Perry sang, "I'm still breathing, but we've been dead for awhile." Except in this case, instead of "we", it's "I've been dead for awhile." I just wish he had enough balls to say something. You won't understand if you've never fallen in love so hard.

So that basically sums up my private life, the one I hardly blog about. I don't have an awesome track record, because I'm particular and I'm stubborn about what I like and what I don't like. I used to be naive, and things just get tougher because now I'm not, so it only means it's so much harder. Ha.

Gossip away! Because I know you all love to.

Case scenario: You flip through a fashion magazine and see models and celebrities galore looking hot and glamorous, and then you spot a hot dress on an equally hot celebrity. But when you check out the price that comes with the dress, your heart sinks and you sigh over the fact that there is no alternative to looking as hot in that particular style.

Or is there? Maybe you should check out AngelicoBeBe then, because they are your alternative to celebrity-inspired style! Now you can don an outfit worn by your favourite celebrity at a small fraction of the price. For example, there's the Gucci Resort Collection 2010 bustier chiffon mini!:



I like! The model looks HOT. And AngelicoBeBe has the inspired style for you right here!:





The bustier is made of thick cotton mesh and it gives the illusion of a fuller bust. There's an inner lining beneath the white chiffon bottom too, and the black satin band ties into a ribbon at the back to give definition to your waist. It also comes in cobalt blue/black!:



Another piece that's hot - the Lipsy ribbon bustier:



AngelicoBeBe brings you the inspired piece in pink/black and white/black!:



I've got the pink/black one!:





I like the draped ribbon detailing at the side:



As you can see, both dresses are made with quality material. The black skirt on the Lipsy-inspired ribbon bustier is made of structured cotton and the bustier top made of quality cotton mix satin. And how much is the original retailing for? $150. -_- How much is AngelicoBeBe retailing the inspired piece for? ONLY $30. It's a STEAL!

There's lots more where that came from, so shop AngelicoBeBe now!! Here's a promo specially for you: You get 15% off your 1st piece and 25% off your 2nd piece when you purchase from AngelicoBeBe - simply quote "Crystal Shong blog" to enjoy this special promotion. ;) ♥

I met up with Kelly for dinner on Tuesday, after many months of not seeing each other because she's always so busy with work. I grumbled to her that every time we meet (which is only once in many months), I find it hard to decide if I want dinner or if I want to visit Lassie because there's only time to do one thing before she'd have to go home early 'cos of work the next morning. So this time round, Kelly told me I could visit Lassie and see her new home (she just shifted) if we had time after dinner. Dinner was Sakae Sushi which I raced through because I wanted to visit Lassie! And then Kelly drove me to her new place in Pasir Ris. The house is gorgeous. I've never seen such a pretty condominium before. Wait till I go there for a swim, then I'd take pictures. =)

Lassie, Seven and Tinkle were in the kitchen, confined by a baby gate. I actually walked right past them because I didn't notice. When the dogs started barking, Kelly opened the gate but only Seven and Tinkle ran out. I asked for Lassie, but she was sleeping. So I went to the kitchen to look for her, just in time to see her struggling to get up from the mat she was sleeping on and wobble her way out to me. The last time I saw Lassie, it was in April 2009. Slightly more than a year later, this is Lassie again:



She is in diapers, and her fur is balding all over more than before. She walks stiffly, and she has to wear a shirt because she would bleed if she scratched herself on a bald patch. Lassie is 14. And she may look different from how she did 5 years ago....:









..... But I know that inside, it's still the same old Lassie. I know because I was on my stomach on the floor so I was level with her, and I looked into her eyes. She stared at me for a long time, and I know. And I know she still remembers me because she walked over and put her head under my hand for me to pet her. It's the small little things that make her Lassie, and it doesn't matter that her outward appearance has deteriorated and kids and adults alike point and whisper at her when she goes for walks. She's still healthy inside, yes... But that doesn't mean it doesn't pain me to see her getting older and weaker.

Lassie is not my dog, but she's like family to me because she's the first friend Gucci ever made, and we used to take walks together a lot of the time. I knew her around the same time I had Gucci, so yes, it's been that long. Lassie had a weird thing about people kicking trees, because when I lift up my leg to pretend and call to her, "Lassie! I kick the treeeeee!!!", she would come running and barking. But now obviously she can't do that anymore, although I heard from Kelly that Lassie has since outgrown the tree thing and moved on to dancing in the rain; she would go crazy when you brought her out on a rainy day, and attempt to eat the rain falling from the sky. She is adorable. I miss her a lot of the time because I hardly see her anymore, and it sucks that time and age has taken a toll on her like it does on everything and everyone. Kelly is very calm about the fact that Lassie is old and she might pass on sooner or later, because she's already come to terms with it. But I haven't, and I'm not even Lassie's owner. It seems kinda silly to fret over this more than Kelly does but I guess that's just me. I love Lassie like she's my own, it's hard to explain. Kelly told me her dad still asks about me even until now, more than 10 years later. I asked why, and she said it's because I was the only one closest to them when I was younger. It would also be real silly to cry in front of Kelly when I'm already such an adult, that's why I don't talk about Lassie when I can help it. But now I'm typing in front of my computer, so I can tear up all I want.

I love you, Lass. ♥♥♥

Happy birthday to me!!! I just realised I didn't write up any wishlist for this year, so sadly I didn't get a lot of presents. Actually only a couple that I wanted, which is the trip to Universal Studios Singapore and my Victoria's Secret perfume that I got Jerraine to buy back from the States for me but I smashed the bottle by accident the last time. -__- So yeah, now I have a new bottle, the same bottle that someone else was supposed to buy and bring to me in June but both human and perfume didn't materialise. Anyway, cut the crap and let's get on with my birthday (and wishlist! Because it's always not too late!!! WAHAHA!)! To be honest I don't even know if it'd make a difference if I had a wishlist or not because it's not like a lot of people will care, but imma write it anyway!:

Wishlist
- iPhone 4 (I think imma get this soon from Andy and Alex! HAHA!)
- run, skip, hop, flyyyy back to LOS ANGELES!
- clothes and more clothes
- new bigger wardrobe (because beetles and moths are biting holes in my favourite clothing when I hang them on my windowsill - no space in my tiny wardrobe anymore!)
- Katy Perry's new Teenage Dream album (I think Matt is getting this for me and snail-mailing it from Texas because only the US edition is cotton-candy scented! YUM!)

Okay, that's all for now. See? Not very demanding, is it? LOL. Well, okay, maybe the LA bit is but I just had to put that in because LA is my Number One lurrrrve. I spent the last few hours leading up to the 26th having dinner at Singapore Cricket Club with Andy, Alex and Shumin. Yep, she's back from London (and everywhere else), like finally. At SCC:



With Shumin in the awesome washroom!:



We proceeded to Altitude Bar at Fullerton Bay Hotel after that, if for nothing then for the view:





Honestly it was kinda humid up there, but that's just the way Singapore is. =.= Woke up the next morning for my trip to Universal Studios Singapore. It was my first time spending my birthday in a theme park. And yes, I know I'm quite slow because USS has been open for some time, but I just don't feel like I should go when so many rides weren't open yet then. Besides, the theme park ain't gonna run away. I don't feel special, just a little bit more adventurous because there were all these things to check out and explore, and all these scary rides to take (but I only took 3, hahaha). Outside the theme park!:



















Into the theme park we go!:













Woody Woodpecker!!! =D:



























Now what does this remind you of?:







Big Yellow Taxi! The Counting Crows. ^_^

"Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot"

Some lame-o hip-hop performance:











Off we venture into the land of the Mummies. One of my favourite themes so far!:



















Revenge of The Mummy: Scariest roller-coaster ride, EVER. Fuck me! I'm not big on roller-coaster rides because I cannot do ANY kind of rides that spin round and round or turn upside-down. This particular ride did none of that, but the drops were high and the speed was so fast, it took my breath away. I couldn't even breathe properly, and with every breath I wanted to use to scream, I ended up holding it inside me and praying for the ride to be over as quickly as possible. The breaths I could take, they were either loud screams or yells of "STOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nononono!!!!!!!" And guess what? I didn't even pick to be in the first row. I guess this is birthday luck. LOL. It was so dark inside and I had my eyes closed, only to discover they had hidden cameras inside. And NO, I didn't buy the photo. I looked positively hideous to the point of no return. Hate it when they do that! As much of an experience that was, I'm in no hurry to do it again. HA.

Moving off to Far Far Away, with Shrek!:



























Inside Shrek's castle, on the way to watch Shrek's 4D show:





Came out to a new love, Donkey!:



And into Fairy Godmother's Potion Shop!:





I saw Puss In Boots!:



But when I tried get a picture with him, they'd closed the queue by then. =(















Late lunch at Goldilocks restaurant:













Didn't spot Shrek, though! Actually, I didn't even freakin' see that many mascots. It was quite the bummer.





The Lost World:



Sat on the open-air roller-coaster ride too. That was fun, although just a 53-second ride. Haha. The lamest one was Treasure Hunters. Wtf, waste of my time.

The last place was Waterworld... I didn't really fancy all that shooting and splashing and acting:







Spot a rainbow?:





























After Waterworld:



Walked around the stores a little bit after that...:





Fake Oscar trophies!:



This will be perfect for the Singapore Idol rejects:



Beetlejuice:



And lastly, Frankie!:



I also went into the Hollywood Theatre (I think) to catch a song-and-dance by the "monsters in our favourite movies", only because I had nothing better to do. It was fucking lame though, to see Dracula and Frankenstein etc, dancing to Wondergirls and Britney Spears and the like. People were falling asleep. I didn't, I just thought it was terribly lame and I wondered if I would catch some parts of the performance if I were a tourist instead of a Singaporean. Prolly not.

Left the theme park in the evening, with a Donkey soft toy in tow. Bought the perfume at VS, and they didn't even give me a proper VS paper bag. LOUSY!! AND, everything is overpriced. It's so damn ridiculous. I'd still order online, any time of the day. Having a VS store here is like not having one, since everything is so expensive anyway. And they didn't even have any VS Angels making a special appearance for the opening of the store, unlike Canada, who had Candice Swanepoel. Well, I would have preferred Ale, but Candice is better than nothing. -_-

Enough ranting! Universal Studios LA beats Singapore's one, hands down. I can't wait to go back to the LA one again. Sorry, Singapore, but you have to try harder....

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, it's still not too late for pressies, happy birthday to me! x

Happy birthday to me!!! I just realised I didn't write up any wishlist for this year, so sadly I didn't get a lot of presents. Actually only a couple that I wanted, which is the trip to Universal Studios Singapore and my Victoria's Secret perfume that I got Jerraine to buy back from the States for me but I smashed the bottle by accident the last time. -__- So yeah, now I have a new bottle, the same bottle that someone else was supposed to buy and bring to me in June but both human and perfume didn't materialise. Anyway, cut the crap and let's get on with my birthday (and wishlist! Because it's always not too late!!! WAHAHA!)! To be honest I don't even know if it'd make a difference if I had a wishlist or not because it's not like a lot of people will care, but imma write it anyway!:

Wishlist
- iPhone 4 (I think imma get this soon from Andy and Alex! HAHA!)
- run, skip, hop, flyyyy back to LOS ANGELES!
- clothes and more clothes
- new bigger wardrobe (because beetles and moths are biting holes in my favourite clothing when I hang them on my windowsill - no space in my tiny wardrobe anymore!)
- Katy Perry's new Teenage Dream album (I think Matt is getting this for me and snail-mailing it from Texas because only the US edition is cotton-candy scented! YUM!)

Okay, that's all for now. See? Not very demanding, is it? LOL. Well, okay, maybe the LA bit is but I just had to put that in because LA is my Number One lurrrrve. I spent the last few hours leading up to the 26th having dinner at Singapore Cricket Club with Andy, Alex and Shumin. Yep, she's back from London (and everywhere else), like finally. At SCC:



With Shumin in the awesome washroom!:



We proceeded to Altitude Bar at Fullerton Bay Hotel after that, if for nothing then for the view:





Honestly it was kinda humid up there, but that's just the way Singapore is. =.= Woke up the next morning for my trip to Universal Studios Singapore.

Revenge of The Mummy: Scariest roller-coaster ride, EVER. Fuck me! I'm not big on roller-coaster rides because I cannot do ANY kind of rides that spin round and round or turn upside-down. This particular ride did none of that, but the drops were high and the speed was so fast, it took my breath away. I couldn't even breathe properly, and with every breath I wanted to use to scream, I ended up holding it inside me and praying for the ride to be over as quickly as possible. The breaths I could take, they were either loud screams or yells of "STOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nononono!!!!!!!" And guess what? I didn't even pick to be in the first row. I guess this is birthday luck. LOL. It was so dark inside and I had my eyes closed, only to discover they had hidden cameras inside. And NO, I didn't buy the photo. I looked positively hideous to the point of no return. Hate it when they do that! As much of an experience that was, I'm in no hurry to do it again. HA.

Moving off to Far Far Away, with Shrek!:



























Inside Shrek's castle, on the way to watch Shrek's 4D show:





Came out to a new love, Donkey!:



And into Fairy Godmother's Potion Shop!:





I saw Puss In Boots!:



But when I tried get a picture with him, they'd closed the queue by then. =(















Late lunch at Goldilocks restaurant:













Didn't spot Shrek, though! Actually, I didn't even freakin' see that many mascots. It was quite the bummer.





The Lost World:



Sat on the open-air roller-coaster ride too. That was fun, although just a 53-second ride. Haha. The lamest one was Treasure Hunters. Wtf, waste of my time.

The last place was Waterworld... I didn't really fancy all that shooting and splashing and acting:







Spot a rainbow?:





























After Waterworld:



Walked around the stores a little bit after that...:





Fake Oscar trophies!:



This will be perfect for the Singapore Idol rejects:



Beetlejuice:



And lastly, Frankie!:



I also went into the Hollywood Theatre (I think) to catch a song-and-dance by the "monsters in our favourite movies", only because I had nothing better to do. It was fucking lame though, to see Dracula and Frankenstein etc, dancing to Wondergirls and Britney Spears and the like. People were falling asleep. I didn't, I just thought it was terribly lame and I wondered if I would catch some parts of the performance if I were a tourist instead of a Singaporean. Prolly not.

Left the theme park in the evening, with a Donkey soft toy in tow. Bought the perfume at VS, and they didn't even give me a proper VS paper bag. LOUSY!! AND, everything is overpriced. It's so damn ridiculous. I'd still order online, any time of the day. Having a VS store here is like not having one, since everything is so expensive anyway. And they didn't even have any VS Angels making a special appearance for the opening of the store, unlike Canada, who had Candice Swanepoel. Well, I would have preferred Ale, but Candice is better than nothing. -_-

Enough ranting! Universal Studios LA beats Singapore's one, hands down. I can't wait to go back to the LA one again. Sorry, Singapore, but you have to try harder....

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, it's still not too late for pressies, happy birthday to me! x
