after my CLUBCOUTURE meeting yesterday, i called ben to see if he was still at the clinic…i was just itching to see him for some reason. he was halfway through, so i went to the post office, and then to kino… and guess what? i picked up the most awesome bag!
this YSL tote comes with the Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Official Book and costs just S$29.60! i love the embroided logos along the handles and the interior is hot pink! this will be my most used bag from now on i’m sure…
and when i was done with retail theraphy, i took a train back to the north to meet ben to get dinner… well we ended up buying macs on the way back and see what good they did to my filet-o-fish…
stuuuuuuuupid i tell you.
who makes burgers like that?
and whatever i managed to scrap off the box didn’t even cover 1/4 of my burger. what is this? but yea, i ate it anyway… what to do? i was really hungry. if we didn’t do takeaways and had it there, i would have blown my top! at least then i would get a proper one….
back to ben’s medical, so it turns out his knee cap is slightly… how do i say this, out of alignment? looks like we all got bone problems… haha! well, at least he gets physio, i don’t!
so running around all day… was it worth it? you bet…
cos i got my hug, and kiss too :)
…only you can make me smile like that :)
and i’m an ace at packing bags! ben was trying to squeeeze everything into the bag but he was just doing it all wrong… i took everything out and repacked it all in with ease… you should have seen his face! LOL!
4 cup noodles, 1 bag of ruffles, 1 water bottle and his other stuff all nice and snug!
check!
time really flies so fast when you don’t want it to… by 730 ben had to leave for camp again, and i went to gardens to meet with Neng to catch up and talk about photoshoot ideas… and then he told me about the photo of me that everyone has been raving about on facebook…
my reaction : a photo of me on facebook that everyone is raving about?
how come i don’t know?
so it turns out this is the photo he was referring to…
this was taken in like december last year for a competition held by The National Heart Foundation… it’s one of those random shots that wasn’t submitted… i had seen this photo so many times over, but i only found that this is actually me today. is that dumb or what? to not recognise yourself in a photo when you see it… i think i’m the only idiot capable of that. >_<
anyhoos, it’s 125am, and i’m going to wash up and go to bed. i’m so tired today really… and i can’t wait to jump out of bed refreshed in the morning and start getting creative and getting down to replying emails!
okay, so it’s the only day of fredflare’s free shipping cos it’s CYBER MONDAY, and i couldn’t help it.
i’m supposed to be asleep! ended up getting these…
the tokidoki pups are US$12 for a set of 2
i don’t know which 2 i’ll get… i really want the green and the pink!!! *fingers crossed*
and i got another talking watch!
i have a purple already, but yea, i want, more like NEED a black watch to match my outfits better… for more serious days you know?
and this!!! the ANDY WARHOL INSPIRATION BOX!
oh my gosh you have no idea… i’ve always wanted this!!! and it’s on sale now for just US$9.99! i’m such a happy bunny! i’m not even sleepy anymore… getting these mailed to Audrey and then have her mail them to me… excited much! :)
i better go sleep soon, still have a meeting to go to in less than 12 hours! >_<
apparently he has this specialist appointment at the jurong clinic which he totally failed to tell me about sooner… but oh well, i have a CLUBCOUTURE meeting at 3pm tomorrow to sign the ambassador contract or something…
so no ben tomorrow i guess… i’ll just wait till friday, it’s not that far away anyway right? but i need a really good huggggg. i’ve been feeling so sleepy all day, i slept quite early last night, i think? oh wait, i didn’t. *Shrugs* i did manage to finish bloggin about all the things i was supposed to blog about today…
check this out, it’s the new customisations page on jeaninegabrielle.com :)
it’s like a summary of what’s available to be customised, the raw stuff… so it’s easier and you won’t have to snoop around all over my blog to get customisation ideas… how’s that? could always use more feedback, so if you’ve got ideas, drop me a note, anytime! :)
oh well, been baby sitting yesterday and today… my brother-in-law’s dad has been hospitalised so the kids have been left to us… kids sure drain your energy… you have to play with them constantly, they’re just so hyper-active! and then putting them to bed isn’t exactly easy too… they don’t fall asleep like us, they need to be pat to sleep…
i’m waiting for ben to call back now, he’s gone for some rehearsal thing… grrrrrr
it was raining cats and dogs… but ben and i spent the wet rainy afternoon exploring Orchard Central… check out my post on QUIZNOS SUB below! Orchard Central isn’t really interesting… half of it is like, spas and all that stuff…
i do remember spotting this pink, ruffly bag in a shop called CACTUS… it costs $85, ben won’t let me buy it… :(
anyway… later in the evening we went down to Dhoby Ghau Green to check out BORNFIRE 2009!
the heat is no joke i tell you… considering we weren’t exactly in the front row… but it was really cool! i’ve a new found respect for fire artists… i personally wouldn’t want to be within 5 metres of the scorching flames…
♥ ♥ ♥
and then…SATURDAY, was our 16th monthsary!
i was feeling sooooo lazy all day! ben had soundcheck for Bornfire at 430, so i met him after to go to WAVEHOUSE at Sentosa to catch…
DJ MOTO!
for the first time i took the tram, it was kinda fun! haha! but the walk in to Wavehouse from Beach Station wasn’t so fun… especially when your boyfriend’s normal walking speed is like double yours… really, no fun. it’s really tiring trying to keep up with his long legs! :(
look! don got “1 or 8 faction-ed”!
all the guys are going botakkkk!
and from the girl who gave us the hit “I Fell In Love With The DJ” and “Hurry Up”… meet…
Che’nelle!
i’m really hooked on holga effects! they make your photos more interesting, and they also “save” photos that didn’t look too well taken… bad lighting, it’s a thing of the past! :)
check out Che’nelle’s performance videos on facebook!
i should probably post them on the group page too aye?
anyway we had to leave quite soon to go to Bornfire cos ben had a set at 12am… and so we had to take the long walk back to beach station! again, no fun!
fire fire fire!
i took more vids than photos, so check ‘em out on facebook and be amazed at their skill! there were performances by Sonofa, with guest singer, Nurul from the current season of Idol…
and see who else came to Bornfire…
Sezairi has resurfaced amidst his busy idol schedule! we’ll be rooting for you to win Singapore Idol… you deserve it! :)
all the bestttt Sezairi!! Step up and dance!
finally ben playing his set… he was on CDJs, hahaha so not used to it… he played from about 1145pm to 1am, and i was like restless throughout… it’s hard to keep still with good music, but when you’re some what alone, it’s odd to just dance! 1 or 8 company came late… but it was all fun anyways :)
i got through the whole weekend very very sober.
well done jeanine! keep it up! :D
it’s monday, and there’s so much to do this week… and my left eye… ohmygoodness, it’s been swollen since yesterday morning… and it hurts… boo :(
here’s one last one of us! more holga effectsssss!
okay, back to work! more new necklaces coming up in abit…….
just managed to complete these rings for Yih Fang today!
first time trying out “gold glitter text” it turned out really well!
the purple is darker and more vibrant in real life. camera flash always messes up my colors. :(
♥
familiar? Leonie wanted the bottlecap charm from “Every girl’s dream” bracelet to be a necklace… so… tada!
proudly modelled by Po :)
it actually looks pretty good on him, no? haha! next!
♥
i did this a couple days ago… Eka is getting this for his friend’s 21st birthday. She’s an air stewardess you see, thus the jet setting theme! i sure hope she’ll like this! :)

milo and cream crackers. why do they call them cream crackers anyway? they’re not in the least bit creamy? pppffft.
i’m actually so tired i could just put my head down on my laptop and fall asleep… but i don’t know, i feel as if i have things to finish… things that i can actually do in the morning. ben keeps telling me to be good and sleep early. but the earliest i’ve been getting to bed is 3am? this really needs to change… it’s as if i’m out partying everynight and sleeping only at 3am. sigh.
am i gonna get old like that? >_<
how can i sleep when i have half packed orders? in fact i just worked on a new batch of earstuds. i did photos of new ones earlier but i haven’t even gotten down to uploading them… wednesday is going to be crazy. i have to wake up, finish packing whatever orders i need to pack, finalise ECLECTICISM’S stocklist, print, pack up… maybe do more photos if the lighting doesn’t suck… have lunch, and after lunch i have to get ready to zip zip zip around town before going down to pasir ris to see ben at 7pm…
speaking of which, he asked me…”so what are you going to wear tomorrow?” i’m like huh… i mean really i’ve been so busy, do i actually have time to think about what i’m going to wear? great, now i feel like i have to think. i can’t just throw on a pair of denim shorts and be lazy… so i asked him what he wants me to wear… not like i ever get an answer to that question… then it becomes a case of “up to you, impress me”. and then he said… no need to be like woahhh so elegant, just nice and simple.
great, why do i still feel the need to WOW?
okay i have stuff to do, why am i even blogging. good night ya’ll. i’ll go finish my milo and hopefully i find it in me to abandon whatever i’m doing and get some much needed shut eye… long day and weekend ahead….
if you’re like me and hate waking up to find a “bleached” patch on your pillow, then you’re gonna like this.
not quite your average pimple cream, this “Xin Fu Man Ling” cream claims to kill demodex mites in 1 minute and resolves pimples in 3 days. It helps to balance the sebum on the skin as well as activate the skin’s natural healing processes. Regular use will keep the skin smooth, fair and soft. It does not interfere with the skin’s metabolism and the creme is odourless, light, silky and transparent upon application.
The Xin fu man ling creme is a medicated cosmetic prepared exclusively by Guangzhou’s Guangdetang Pharmaceutical Factory. It kills demodex mites and bacteria, diminishes inflammation, stops itching, regulates sebum production, protects the skin and improves its appearance. This product is especially effective in treating acne, demodectic rosacea, thickened skin, brandy nose, itching face etc. When used non-medically, as part of a skin care regimen, it maintains and improves the normal health of the skin, causing it to become delicate, moisturized and attractive.
it does what it claims.
it doesn’t dry out your skin leaving it patchy and scaly like creams that contain benzoyl peroxide do… and, it won’t bleach your pretty bed sheets. plus it has a very pleasant scent too!
“…i just know the more i gain the more lonely it is”
no one can fully fathom what it’s like to have everything and nothing all at once, until you experience it yourself. and then what happens? for Daul, i guess it drove her to her wits end…
the fashion industry has indeed lost a gem… she was a chameleon, she was perfect as a model, but did anyone really care who she was as a human being?
it makes me wonder if it is worth it to work your ass off just to get to the top, to gain fame, success, wealth, only to realise you have become nothing but an empty shell in the process? she posted this video on her blog last month, with the following text…
“so many times i almost jumped but didn’t”
didn’t anyone find it perturbing? didn’t anyone sense something wrong?
i’m reading her blog bit by bit now… and it’s just so painful to read. i can only imagine how she felt.
15th October 2009, she wrote…
“…then i saw myself my life is so god damn predictable its disgusting its like some kind of fate you can not change some kind of high high desire to not be alone. since child, high desires for beautiful things were strong desire to be isolated was so strong (or i had no choice than to be isolated)
desire to be good looking was so strong.
as i run into my good old friend im happy at even when we didnt see each other for like 6 months i can straight out vent about how my life is so predictable as he understands totally.”
how does it feel to live as a “figure” and not a “person”? having people see you as nothing but a model… Daul, it must have been so frustrating. the life of a model just is.
another of her blog post in October titled “say hi to decided” is really heart-wrenching to read… this is the whole post…
“say hi to decided”
“i havent been back to korea for like… 6 months
i feel like everytime i dont want to face something
i just run away and my job allows me to do that
last winter was a fucking hard time for me like every winter
like every summer is hot for me
on the way from shooting to home in the metro
i cried cos even when im 20, i feel the same
i used to come home in a metro crying when i was 16 in paris too.
whats the point of this manifestation really what is it
since when did i ever have a normal life anyway
it was so fucked up from the beginning its like as if this was the best way
it couldve been layed out anyway whats the point of being upset
people are the same anyway, just mild changes, mild different spectrums,
mild different backgrounds, people do this to each other anyway
it is not the difference between a complex intellect and a beautiful simpleton.
aknowledging it doesnt make the difference, like how people say setting awareness
makes differences. it does, but it doesnt, because action needs to follow.
so what is my action.
jump out the window? cut ur wrist?
party ? be decadant?
do charity work? be a housewife?
obey? disobey?
prove? not prove?
love ? not love?
enjoy the power? what power?
im not interested. pretend to be interested?
i am not entertained. then entertain yourself i am not entertaintment
beat yourself with work only cry for help when you are about to die when you are on the floor
until no one cares until not even yourself cares.”
…
she sounded like she was on the verge of losing it, but somehow no one really cared, one comment even read :
“since there is no point in livin, or dying either make the best out of the live you have now i guess? or really, die.“
…
honestly, i’m at a total loss for words. i can only hope that her death raises awareness, and how important it is to not lose yourself in life…
i can’t believe it’s sunday morning already… why do weekends fly by so quickly? :(
friday night was pretty fun tho… i met ben at whitesands for dinner with some of the boys before going home to bum around abit… then went down to yishun to meet some others… that’s when it got interesting…
see, we were supposed to go to chong pang for sup tulang, but then they changed the venue to block 292… wherever that was. they said near industrial area, after the mosque. the first place i thought of was that coffee shop behind my place… but yea, when we got close to that coffeeshop we realised that was block 1001.
U-TURN! we were on foot by the way.
so i said okay, maybe it’s near star of the sea.. so we walked along the park, and ben decided to call them halfway to double confirm we were going the right way. they said we overshot. so again we back-tracked.
as we got closer to where we were supposed to go, i said… i will kill whoever said we overshot. i would have been here 15 mins ago… see, if we had walked further along the park and turned right (not like you guys reading know what i’m talking about) we would have gotten to where we were supposed to go in like less than 10 mins from our 2nd u-turn. but instead we turned around and walked another what… 20mins??? *SMACKS*
i really felt like… ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
oh well, anyway we got there in the end… only to sit for about 5 mins before going for beancurd. what a night…
i had tons of fun shopping on saturday! ben and i spent a total of like $300 at Cotton On in merely an hour! LOL! ben bought this jacket that costs $89? who would have known that Cotton On’s prices actually went that high??? well now you know!
act only… lol!
this is my favourite piece! i think…
it was the last piece of this design, and it was my size! i was soooooo happppy! and the best thing is ben actually likes it too! double yay! :)
and check out the mickey mouse leggings i got!
honestly i don’t know if i dare wear them out, i bought it cos it was way too cute not to get for $15… ben said i can only wear them to sleep… but really, who said mickey is only for kids?? i told him they made these leggings for a reason. agreeeee? :D
what else did i get… 2 tank tops, 2 cardis, a checkered dress shirt, a ruffle top, a crochet vest,a grey scarf… mmmm, that should be all i think? shopping makes me happy… and the only time i’m allowed to shop is if ben is shopping too!
it’s 135am and my eyes are fast shutting down on me… ben is still out in the clubs… apparently Drop The Lime missed his flight so the set got delayed, so ben is at Zouk where Benny Benassi is playing. me? i think i’m gonna go wash up and hit the sack… let me leave you with one last photo muse…
it’s not a secret anymore, i like carrying ben’s army bag… don’t ask me why… i just find it fun..
i’m maintaining the website from my mac. it was a good decision to move, it publishes alot faster than it did on my PC… pphew! so bear with me this coming week as i try to update as quickly as i can! but for now, here’s what’s new!
♥
3 new bracelets added
♥
and 8 new necklaces!
don’t forget to check in store for year-end perks! i have to run now, time to spend time with the boy… i’ll be back!
have an awesome weekend everyone!
and don’t forget to bring along a brolly (umbrella that is) cos you never know when it’s gonna start pouring cats and dogs!
to be honest, it’s bloody confusing. well, okay, not quite… but there’s so much to figure out… i need a good while to get used to this… it doesn’t help that i spent 4 hours in the shop waiting for everything to be installed… before that we brought the CPU to challenger for diagnostics. the mother board is dead. like gone, totally not worth repairing…
so i bought an external hard disk! a 500gb one! which i didn’t manage to bring home cos i’m getting data from my dead PC transferred out…
thanks Stanley for the help!
and Sarah for installing everything for me!
speaking of hard disks, apparently ben called sarah to ask her how much the hard disk cost… he was actually planning to buy me one! oopppps. earlier when i told him i bought it already he was making noise at me! >_<
so far, i’ve managed to import my website onto my mac, i haven’t published any changes yet, cos i can’t! i forgot to get sarah to change the file sharing settings so i can’t put up new stuff yet, and my fonts are all messed up too! :(
this is going to be a little tougher than i thought… it’s like starting from scratch… which i don’t like very much!
well, it’s technically 130am on thursday, which means i should get to see ben tomorrow… that’s if they don’t do anything stupid to get confined until saturday and if nothing changes…
this is another “excerpt” from my interview with Penny’s Day Book…
thanks Adine for doing up our “love story” so thoughtfully… :)
next week should be a good week. ben said they’ll be booking out on wednesday cos thursday they apparently get off-in-lieu, and friday is a public holiday? i’ve completely lost track of public holidays really… but i’m glad! last week was so hectic, we barely got to spend proper time together… so next week should be good! i suddenly feel like going bowling… hmmmm, maybe we could go with his bunk mates… i should ask tomorrow!
speaking of which, apparently his bunk mates still think i’m ben’s sister… i’m sure they’re just messing around but, for the record, i’m not ben’s sister! ppffft.
to bed by 2am today, that’s my aim. oh shoots, that’s in 20 mins!
