Postcard

Hello from Sunny Sydney! 
Well it's actually winter right now but when I landed today the weather was VERY promising. Very cool, comfortable and without the bite. 
At night it's different though; Terence and I are using a heater now. I'm wearing a hoodie over a ratty tee-shirt over a singlet, paired with pyjama pants and what I think are wool socks (well, a slight percentage anw) courtesy of SQ. My feet are tucked under a wool blanket also. VERY COLD! feels like I'm in Europe or something. 
We're staying at Bondi but have yet to explore the beach nor the shopping in-depth (read: just browsing today). 
Sydney, as far as the suburbs go, isn't much different from Melbourne, I find.. but everything here seems more expensive. Have not ventured out into the city area.
Our flight was quite turbulent and I was so scared, but had not the heart to grip Terence out of his blissful sleep. Speaking of which, I never fail to wonder at people who can sleep on planes. I was so fatigued but just could not get any shut-eye. But being drugged out on a sleeping pill doesn't seem like a plan either. So like today, I'm usually quite zombie-like when I first land at my destinations. 
Tmr my onslaught begins. 
And I still do think that Singapore Air is a great way to fly :)

The bottom 10

ok well, I know this is old news but I only just watched the Project Runway finale on 5 and was TOO PLEASED that Tim Gunn replaced J.Lo as guest judge. I have no idea why he wasn't originally appointed anyway (no seriously. He looks very fair and without bias. And erm. He actually understands fashion.) J.Lo, I believe, cannot dress without a stylist even if her millions depend on it. 

And so, since we're on the subject of celebrities, I shall unleash my inner bitch right now and present the list of celebs I detest.

1. Mariah Carey. She who probably believes that she is the hottest, most divine being in the world. I'm sorry. Destroying the world does not a superstar make. She tops the list of most un-green celebrities due to her diva ways and entourage. EWW. And she looks like an ape. Regression (not that I believe in evolution, of course)!!!!!!!

2. Katie Holmes. Such a sweet thing, but minus one million points for being Tom Cruise's slave and having no mind of her own.

3. Hayden I-can't-even-be-bothered-to-try-to-remember-her-surname-for-this-post-but-everyone-knows-her-as-the-Heroes-cheerleader-something. What's the hype?! Ok. But she campaigned to save the whales. So she can just fade into oblivion now and no one would notice. Next.

4. Justin Timberlake. I don't know where to start. The disgusting yellow curly hair? HIS conviction that HE brought sexy back (hell, NO!!!)? And the fact that no matter how disbelieving we are, we'll always have THAT song to remind us of his inflated ego? 

5. Katherine Hiegl. When I see her picture in mags the line in my head goes: u-g-l-y you ain't got no alibi you ugly, eh hey you ugly! Why is she playing leading lady in rom coms??? Darling, leave that to Kate Hudson and Jen Aniston and all other PYTs please. 

6. Heidi KlumAnd no, for the hundredth time, it is NOT her annoying voice. I am not THAT superficial. She is pretty. Yes, she looks like sunshine. Yes, yummy mummy! Yes, giving Angelina and Madonna a run for their money for most-international-family-award. But a supermodel?? Along the likes of Schiffer, Crawford, Moss, Werbowy (omg. I adore her.) and Banks? Really?? Looking so commercial?? Like she could sell toothpaste while the aforementioned girls have the edge to sell unwearable clothes costing thousands? Really?? Ok. But assuming Tim Gunn is her friend I shall stop here. 

7. The Simpson sisters. One is addicted to plastic surgery, one is addicted to food. They won't say, but we can SEE the results. Wanna guess which sister is addicted to which??? No prizes!! :) SOOOOO talented, the two. 

8. Claire Danes. Just yucks. Can't say why, really. Maybe the nose. 

9. Rihanna. Nothing to do with the whole Chris Brown saga and why she let him off so easily nonsense. A good friend mentioned she looks like a very difficult person (yes, one look at that bulbous gargantuan forehead and she literally looks very HEADSTRONG). I agree with my friend. And plus I think she got famous too quickly and it got to her head. Hate that too-cool-for-school aloofness. oh PUH-LEASE. 

10. Beth Ditto. Too fat for comfort. She scares me. And the fact that she loves food too much to change anything is even scarier. Trust me, I LOVE MY FOOD. But if I looked like that, I would definitely undergo drastic life-risking measures to lose that weight. She looks like 3X of me put side by side. Look her up if you don't know who I'm referring to. Just please don't think it's Halloween come too soon. It's just obesity. Glorified. And I hate that most of all. 

Ok, shall think of my top 10 favourites soon. My engagement party's tomorrow. WOOHOO!
