Minou the kitty hates her bootie Minou the Ragdoll kitty is Minou my friend’s namesake. Yes, it’s confusing when someone names herself after her pet. Anyway, today’s post is about Minou the kitty. She recently scratched herself bloody at her neck and had to wear a cone to prevent herself from continuously scratching at the wound. She really hated it and would bite [...] Craziness Started reading “The Other Boleyn Girl” again, even though I just finished it three weeks ago, even though I have four other books in the series I haven’t touched. How I squander precious time! Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Funny graphs Chong recommended this lolsite with the funniest user-created graphs. This one reminds me of the Goonfather: Click to view. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Photos from Resorts World Sentosa The Goonfather took me to Resorts World Sentosa last night despite only like 5% of the place being open for business. I wonder why they opened it when hardly anything was ready for visitors. It was fun exploring, though. No crowd! This is the carpark: Pretty right??? It’s really huge, too! Well, okay, not the whole carpark is pretty like this, [...] Recent relic Before my iPhone 3G, just 1.5 years ago, I was using this. Hahahahaha. What a relic! Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. The evil of telemarketing grows Telemarketers are getting more and more annoying! Not only do they invade your personal domains (your phone), they try to sell you stuff you don’t want. On top of that, nowadays, they read make-nice sentences off convoluted scripts before even telling you what they’re trying to sell you. You know how some pay-per-minute calls go on [...] Coaster fail Oops! This coaster that I bought on Sunday has failed in its key duty as Resident Coaster of Sheylara’s Room due to its overwhelming cuteness. I would rather dirty my table than dirty it. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. My cookie monsters I was cleaning my room last night, deciding what to do with my cookie monsters. They can’t stand on their own, so I made a “house” for them using cardboard dividers. Three others are in a Stitch phone holder. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. I want Play-Doh for adults! Some months ago, I went nuts and spent $70 on a bunch of fake mini pastries. Yes, I know, it’s really nuts how much these things cost! But Fancy Pocket had a 35% discount that day, and I had long been drawn to these cuties, always tempted to buy them. I had planned to zhng my DS [...] Vanity shopping Two months ago, I booked a China shopping trip for Jan 28. I told myself to stop shopping, save money for the trip. Stuff would be cheaper there. I didn’t do a good job. Did tons of shopping in the last two months. As the date draws nearer, I’m shopping more! It’s aways when I’m outside trying [...] Overkill LOL. Don’t they have stamps of bigger denominations in Hong Kong? Total postage is HK$21.70. Some cosmetic stuff I bought from eBay. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. What’s so good about Marutama? The last time I blogged about Ramen Santouka, I received recommendations for two outlets that are supposedly better — Tampopo and Marutama. I tried Tampopo. I think Santouka is still better. I tried Marutama. I think Santouka is still better! Still, I was impressed by Marutama for its free-flow fried garlic. I am very embarrased to say that our [...] Convert Minou treated me to a basic manicure using her nail spa package and I chose a glittery pearly white colour. I’m so in love with it! I’ve never been a nails person but I shall want to do more professional manicures now. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Fun game Millionaire Tycoon (iPhone only) is so fun! It’s a crazy version of Monopoly with mad tools to sabo your opponents. Cute animation and sounds. It has four different boards, each a different city and there’s multiplayer but sharing one phone. Only USD0.99. Quite worth the cents. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Bintan a curse for couples? So, this week, I’ve got a story of a nightmarish holiday and a story of a perfect holiday. Well, as nightmarish and perfect as it ever got for me, anyway, which wasn’t all that extreme to be honest. You’d probably be more interested in the “nightmarish” one because there’s some superstitious mumbo jumbo about how you shouldn’t [...] Impulse shopping Once in a while, I need to do a bimbotic girly post to remind people that I’m a girl! Not that all girls are bimbotic but, well, mostly only girls are, as opposed to guys. So, I went shopping today and bought a whole bunch of stuff! It’s kinda hazardous shopping with the girls because everyone’s delighted [...] Sweets for the soul Bought this bag of cute sweets ($8.90 for 150g) at The Central after resisting a few times. The taste is just okay but they’re so cute they make you happy. I enjoy looking at them more than eating them. P.S. (Two days later): I take back what I said about it tasting okay. It’s actually quite yummy and [...] YouTube Favourites #1 Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams The album was banned in SG when it was released. Heard the song once on radio and was so arrested by it I couldn’t forget it. Found the CD several years later in the USA and shed tears when I first played it on my Discman. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Temptation and bribery What I really feel like doing now is curl up in bed to read. I’m getting into learning about 16th Century English court via not entirely reliable sources (Philippa Gregory novels) but all the same being more educational than reading, say, Archie comics (which I actually downloaded onto my iPhone). But, in the interest of self-preservation, [...] Seaweed never tasted better Yummy stuff! (Not an ad.) Tao Kae Noi Super Crisp seaweed! Hot chilli squid (tastes like childhood satay fish snack) and kimchi (unlike kimchi but still interesting). Love the crispiness! Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Fake lashes Oh no! Just realised I’ll be going to watch Avatar 3D right after my photo shoot. Fake lashes gonna rub against 3D specs! Already, my natural lashes (with mascara) brush against the specs so it gets annoying. Fake lashes, which are much longer, are gonna be bad. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. At a photo shoot Hello! Logging in from a photo studio somewhere in Chinatown. Am now waiting my turn to be made-up and styled. There’s a TV in the photography room showing a live feed of the makeup room, lol. I’m going to be featured in a magazine next month (which is actually the March issue) but I won’t tell [...] The Goonfather – iPhone vs. Omnia 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. See also: The Goonfather and the iPhone. Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com. Sticky kitty Funny how stray cats are often friendlier than home cats (especially when you’re eating at coffee shops). We recently came across a most friendly, manja, attention-seeking stray cat ever. Outside Leisure Park Kallang, a cat walked past the Goonfather and immediately rolled over on its back, baring its belly. The Goonfather stopped and stared. When the cat realised [...] Pain I really hate grooming. I mean, I like looking groomed and pretty as much as the next girl but the process of getting there sucks. It’s tedious and time-consuming and, in some cases, painful (threading and waxing). Am blogging now while getting my arms waxed to distract myself from the sting. Hehe. Kind of hard to type [...] Why so serious? Reader Realliveman just sent me this Obamafied pic. Nice! Thanks! But I also look like the Joker. Is he hinting something? Copyright © 2010 Sheylara.com.

See lah, because of all of you who like to read/talk about it, I kena have to write it for Star Blog. Not my usual choice of topic lor.
