usain bolt donates USD 50,000 for children in china’s quake zone

“They are kids. They deserve a better future,” Bolt said, crouching between the wheelchairs. “I hope they can still enjoy themselves, because they are still kids. And, it’s great for kids to live in joys. I just want to help them.”

i got bored of googling random things, so i entered my own name and hit the search button. turns out this is what an ‘Eleanor Thong’ is

HAHAHAHA i was dying of laughter by the time i discovered there was also an Eleanor Bra, an Eleanor Brief…. it’s by this UK line called Freya by the way. now go and google your own name and tell me what hilarious things you find !

phillip lim i love thee

without comments

some of my picks from 3.1 phillip lim’s Resort 2009 collection (although i think the entire collection was gorgeous!- but these are my favourites):

i am totally loving the brights-neutrals combination. the man is my personal style inspiration. maybe i should start experimenting soon, seeing as spring is only 3 days away. :) i wish i could afford phillip lim’s amazing range at this point in time…….but. i shall save up for it like all the other good people out there, because money doesn’t come easy (for most of us at least).

OhHh and i bought new jeans today. dark wash & wide legged – atypical of me of indeed. but i was getting tired of the whole skinny jeans trend…… uninspiring. anyway they were half off from 100$ to 50$ then when i got to the checkout the guy said it was an extra 10$ off. ooh fate. :)

anyway i was meant to be reading up on personality disorders and nursing a fever but style.com was too distracting, as you can see.

sorry for being absent! but ive been busy obsessing over the Olympics, and notably these few athletes:

oussama mellouli

stephanie rice

michael phelps and ryan lochte

and my favourite one of them all

USAIN BOLT, fastest man alive

this new kid on the block (okay pun intended) was such a pleasure to watch (and scream for). i love athletes with showmanship- boy am i going to miss his little dancey moves on the track and his phenomenal, record-breaking races. absolutely mind-blowing. yes in case you didn’t know i was obsessed, my facebook status says it all. plus i joined his fanpage on fb. teehee :)

i told W i had to go to the library to do something important. so we cut the conversation short and parted ways. 10 minutes later W saw me in the library and crept up behind me.

W: something important hey?

E: err.. yeah.. no.. i WAS going to read some pysch…i swear (while trying to hide my copy of UK ELLE magazine)

seriously whatever i said to explain myself just sounded ….lame. i hope W doesn’t think i’m trying to fob him off.

******

psych patient: you see this tv, it is against me.

E: how so?

PP: when i press this button, the screen goes blue. that is the code they use to make me sick

E: but you just pressed AV1… ALL TVs show a blue screen when you press AV1…

PP: NO! you do not understand. it is the code they use to get ME really sick. only my tv has a blue screen.

E: well my tv has a blue screen too……. see if you press it again it goes back to TV mode

PP: you are not getting the point. you do not understand.

case in point – NEVER argue with a patient who is acutely psychotic.
