TWITTER: i finally figured it out!

hello lovers!

oh, bother, but over the last week my internet connection was all wonky so i couldn't post! by then harajuku voting had ended and i was pretty much in a moochy mood because it's probably gone. ): also, because i made a massively huge mistake with the dates, i'd mentioned that it ended on the 8th, when actually the date had been the third. i'm not quite sure if the date was changed, but either way, it's an "oh wells".

but if you're curious, if i'd won, the prize for one of my voters would have been the Playlab goodie bag (the same one offered for the lucky voters on the site), a $20 voucher for fish and co, and a $100 voucher for both my stores which will be up by end of the month and the other one by april.

Sigh. i really wanted to go to japan! hmph.

haha can you sense my sulkiness over the whole thing. hahaa. okay over it now. in other news. new photos! b says i look like a geisha here. i was trying to go for the whole i am asian, hear me roar thing. hahhaa. i guess that kind of means i was half successful?

ALSO, OTHER EXCITING NEWS.
okay not quite that exciting but exciting to me haha.

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT TWITTER!

if you're thinking omg, what a loser, i know i know! i've just never been the biggest jump on the social networking bandwagon kind of person, so i kind of ignored its existence for a while. (also because i was secretly sulky and annoyed that i didn't know how to post pictures)

but here you go! you can find me here!

http://twitter.com/jessebella

i also added a little box to the side of my blog that updates in real time all my twitter posts, so you can see them while you're here too!

highly proud of myself. i'm such a cyber genius now. hahahahaha. sorry i just feel such a happy sense of achievement. 


also i went ice skating recently! i fell down a grand total of four and a half times. half because i kind of fell but saved it haha. so that was at first but i got the hang of it soon after.

went with s!

i saw a little girl doing the most amazing twirls and thought damnit, should have picked ice skating instead of music! (if you're curious, i play the piano, the violin, amateur snare drums, really really basic guitar and technically cheating but i'll throw in the keyboard. haha.) okay fine i was being a ninny, but while falling on my arse i was so impressed, she looked about only six years old.

loads of school work to catch up on, so i'll catch you guys later,

happy cny in advance, i hope everyone gets like loads of red packets! (:

i love 3d (glasses). yay avatar!

i heart 3d glasses! why can't i take them homeeee. :( 

i caught avatar the first day it came out because i was so crazy excited, and it didn't disappoint. and then i heard all this talk about how avatar in 3d was way more awesome and i just had to catch it again haha. so n and i went today and it was! especially the ash scene, and the seeds of the tree scene, those were the best in 3d, i loved watching them float around me, haha.

i don't usually catch movies twice in theatres, in fact i've only ever done it once (night at the museum two) and only because i'd watched it already but my brother wanted to catch it too , but this was a genuine OMG I WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN THING, and n had watched it already as well, but there we were, two crazy psychos, going

"I SEEEE YOOOOO"

AND

"YOO ARE LIKKKAAA CHHHHILLDDDD"

non stop before the movie, during the movie, and after the movie. along with other assorted phrases from the movie. god knows how annoying we were to anyone within a two metre vicinity, haha.

anyways, random point, but n has awful  photo taking skills. i had to crop myself in the above one, and here is an actual demonstration of bad skillzzz:

HAHA. see the finger over the lens, and the bad framing. you take photos likkkaaa chhhilldddd. okay i'm so annoying right now, but i'm in one of my out to annoy people moods. haha.

but but but intentional jibes aside, it was good to catch up with n again after ages, and before he heads back to europeland again this week.

only moody point(s) was that i was having a bad hair day, my sinus was acting up, and my phone died so i couldn't text s. :( but i'm so excited! awesome plans ahead. but it's secret for now. :D tell you guys sooner if i win the voting thing!

yes haha shameless reminder, but please vote for me for the tangs thing!  see post below. :)) i'm all naggy cause it ends 8th feb and i'm anxious, haha. thank you loves in advance! and to those who have voted already i love you! :)) i'm headed to bed now but i'll post what im giving as thanks if i win when i wake up, i want to go take photos and all. :D

xoxo,

p.s. black hair has grown on me, actually. think it'll stick around for a little while. :D

omy.sg interview // harajuku street style pop-up store

hello lovers!

i was recently interviewed for omy.sg for their feature on the tangs harajuku street style pop-up store!

basically me and another male model got to head to the store early in the wee hours of the morning before opening and play dress up with the awesome clothes from the newly added harajuku section, which some of you might have heard of. i went to the launch as well!


photo by lifestyle asia, with bri! told you her hair's really green haha.

anyways the article on the different harajuku styles is here:
原宿街头时尚风来袭　6招教你穿出个性
it's in chinese, which isn't my forte, but there's a little button for listening to the article as well, though to be honest it's pretty robotic and quite hilarious, reminds me of my electronic chinese dictionary my mom got me during primary school. nonetheless, it's a nice touch.

i'm not in the article, though, just photos, but the entertaining one's the video interviews! haha here you go, enjoy. try not to laugh at me too much haha.
(note: the vids tend to play by themselves once you scroll past, i think it's automatic, so hit the pause or you'll get annoyed, haha.)

Part one


Part two


thank you so much to all the people at omy.sg!
and thanks to ____ as well i'm not sure if he wants to be mentioned but im super grateful for the opportunity!

yes yes, i know i need botox. haha anyways. and this is the most important part,




PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR MEEEEE!
 

i've been selected as one of ten for the tangs harajuku best dressed competition, and i know i should have mentioned this earlier but i was embarrassed and i look hideous haha.

but. i really , really, really need to go to japan. i.e. the prize.

so im bribing hahahaha or as i'd like to think of it offering an um incentive? if i win, i'll pick one voter and personally give him/her a present of thank yous! i haven't actually thought of what yet but i'll let you know by tomorrow and it's going to be a nice one ♥ ♥ ♥ . i also promise to post excessively about japan when i'm back (see how much i need to go?) AND i'll dress seriously harajuku (think eyelash mania haha) one day there and bring back crazy photos for you to laugh at.

also, i might just let you guys in on my recent little secret. haha.

so please vote for me okay! you do have to sign up to vote , but it's not those long winded kind of signing up, just name email and age or something (and you can put random names like bertha haha) as long as your email is real haha. then just just comment on the page "jessebella" and you're done!

okay yay! so, link here. VOTE. pretty please with cherries ontop. haha.

hair is back to black!

♥  soupspoon to death

hello lovers!

yes, my hair is officially back to black. i've never actually tried jet black before, my hair's usually varying shades of brown, but here it is, black as ink. hahahha. like/hate it? im tempted to do a poll, but i'm currently multitasking like crazy, so it'll have to hold a while.

anyways updating, ____ is now s, haha. who says my scarf here is ultra tacky. i minorly agree but isn't it so cute like 101 dalmations! haha. stubborn but i still love it. and soupspoon.

if i sound bored, it's cause i am, i'm currently waiting in school now for k to come out of class so we can have lunch/other random things! quick k come out and play! in the meantime such happiness but here are photos of the flea that k, corde, and i did together! fleatitans at the singapore flyer.

k in geek chic

with my vintage shades that completely sold out

flea at night!

massive pile of shoes for sale

flea: day two!

corde couldn't come in the end cause it was raining at her side and rain + fino + bags of clothes = not the greatest idea. haha.

we moved locations!

our shoppp

we got utterly bored so started messing around haha

k taking peektures of...

her boyfriend acting girly hahaha.

i wrote this cause it was so mad hot there and i was being grumpy, and k said that i looked hostile and no one would come to our store like that hahhaa but i wanted to continue being grumpy, hence.

yesterday i had half my face painted black

a distraction from updating, haha.

went for a photoshoot yesterday for some creative makeup (i swear, the two of them are geniuses) and i had half my face painted black.

haha.

sorry i love how dramatic that sounds. but here you go, mini picture before i get the shots from the shoot:

with my mua! ♥

isn't it crazy interesting. haha. i'm excited for the photos. poor aylwin's camera died though, so he helped out to paint my face black too. job change from photographer to face painter. haha. and wrote the chinese character "ren3" on it, it was such a joke. lalala.

i'm in school on my laptop now, so i don't have all my photos. okay, back to class now. sigh sigh sigh.



oh but am so happy for later! meeting k and e for dinner and girl talk, and then _____'s going to come over and find me later ♥. i like to ask people if they're okay with being on my blog and stuff, and i haven't asked him yet, so im going to be all mysterious and shizz now. unless you guys bribe me, and then i might consider. i like supermarket sushi, cedele, and moisturizer. haha.

b and i have been entertaining ourselves with skype, moving skype emoticons onto facebook, and singing silly ticky ticky made up songs. despite the fact that she's literally in another continent. love you b.

and daddy's back for the chinese new year!

and ____ and i might be going shopping for chinese new year clothes. what should i buy?

oh, im like happy j now.

(except for the fact that i spent 19 bucks! on cab this morning. grrr. stupid peak hour + me sleeping way past my snooze button. sulks. )


missed you all this week!
xoxo,
j.

new photo <3

updates soon, it's one am and i'm pretty much beat, just got back from the airport, but i will post my new port photo because i promised to do my regular updates. which i hope i'm doing pretty well? i'm always grateful to you guys for reading despite my hiatus for the longest time, the stats are pretty much consistent and it really helps to know that there are people checking up on me (for the right reasons, i hope :D) even when i'm not posting, because it's been pretty rough lately, and i haven't felt more alone.

still, what with everything, there are so many more things to do, and so little time. but i'm really excited, everything's falling into place so far. so, hooray :D

that said, here's the new picture:



i'm really honoured to have been able to shoot with G, he's a photographer based in Dallas that flew here for a couple of days, and it was a hilarious shoot. seriously killer strange. you'll know when i show you the pictures. i haven't gotten everything yet, but i'll show you when i do :)


also!
if you hang in there, i've got awesome greenday updates to post soon. i'm not usually a concert kid, but i accompanied b and long story short, we were first in line. YES, FIRST. and right in front. who's curious how long we queued? haha.

also met some awesome people at the show! really we probably wouldn't have survived through it without them, and we had to head back and dump our stuff and everything. <3 but but but, even more awesome, billie joe wore our headband! for the uninitiated, he's the lead singer of greenday, and if you see shots of him in a giant red and white bow, YES, THAT'S THE ONE. in return, he gave the police cap he toured with so far on the show. KILLER MAD AWESOME. aren't you excited? photos soon, i've got to tidy up and figure out all my camera files first. entire card's full, boo. if you're thinking "it's just a cap, lah", that is true. but different things hold different meanings to everyone, you know what i mean?

anyways, i caved in and went and uploaded a preview of our madness. this is how big the bow is. haha. and the arm thing is made out of duct tape because i was dead bored whilst queueing. and b really does have green hair. haha. also, yes, this is my back to brown hair.



okay sleep calls. rad love to everyone reading now, crazy psycho tone not included.

xoxo,
j.

where I'll be on tuesday!

Hello lovers!



I know I haven't updated a while, but it's been a whirlwind since the last time i posted. Everything has changed in my life, and it feels almost like I'm starting over, but to be honest, i've never felt better. So many opportunities have come around that I might be just heading towards a really good place, and i'm actually feeling (dare i say it) happy. haha. so happy 2010 everyone! wish me luck, and i hope yours is starting off well too. Otherwise, really, it can only get better. trust me, i just came out from rock bottom. :)

In other news, I'm no longer blonde! well, for now at least. haha if you'd like to say hi tomorrow, i'll be walking for two shows at the giant white tent outside taka, where they're holding Hairlah! "Singapore's biggest hair event" (yes, so singaporean i know, haha).

so if you're curious and want to see like a nonstop all day fashion show parade of hair haha this is the show to go to. schedule here:


http://www.hairlah.com/main-stage-schedule

and if you want to check out my new hair colour i'll be on at 3 and 5pm on tuesday. not that it's like such an epic event that i've changed my hair colour, but IT IS TO ME OKAY LET ME HAVE MY MOMENTZZZ.

haha so yeah. entry costs five bucks, though. which can be :) or :( depending on how much you want to go.


ah and new peekture. no makeup overkill, no fake lashes. you like?




okay sneezing non stop, but i'm stubborn and still going to eat crystal jade xlb later. and this time i'm going to take pictures BEFORE i finish everything. sorry, i know i torture all of you with awful half eaten pictures of my food. PEOPLE GREEDY LAH CAN.

xoxo,
