double post today!! the post in black will be mine will the one in green will be ken's okay! happy reading!!

hectic day today!!
i was up by 7.30 am (a first for me!!) because i have to meet a client at like 9am to collect her premiums. so troublesome! i've submitted her direct bank transfer form to Prudential but i dunno what's holding up the transaction. guess its the banking side.. but anyway i have to like write the temporary receipt slip for her and like get the money and verify the amount and all. gosh! and i have a meeting at like 9.30am. but thankfully she was punctual (as always) and i managed to get to the office on time too (not always!) managed to submit in the cash to the cashier first before the meeting started! so thank goodness for that! hahaha!

the meeting (really drabby and dry stuff) ended thankfully at like 11.30am and i have to rush down to Bueno Vista to do prospecting. reached there with Jansen at like 12.20pm by bus (really speedy!) and had lunch there as well.. i had dumpling soup again! the dumplings were uber yummy and really love the soup!nice and light! but Tricia wanted to have lunch too, so we waited for her till like 1.30pm. in between, we smoked like 3 sticks of cigarettes each! haha! damn! i'm like totally on my way to claiming my insurance for cancer or something! hehe! we started the prospecting proper at 2.30pm and it ended at like 4pm. no goos leads for today.. really sad :(

after that was done, i have to rush back to office again for another sickening meeting which starts at like 4pm. so no time for a bite in between. this meeting was like 10 000 times drier than the first! freaking draining! the chair of the meeting keeps repeating the same points over, and over again! i'm like soooo gonna stone her to death one day! like seriously!

once that's done, i did some facebooking and got a call from a dear friend at like 7pm. he was in a spot because he doesn't know how to dress up his model well. gave him a bit of advice and decided to help him with the shopping. her top was a really short dress top made of cotton and looked really cheap. its like a long tank top with splashes of black and purple dye. since the damage was already done, all i can try to do is like salvage the wreck and try to up the street cred a bit. we decided to match that cheap looking dress top with some opaque dark green stockings and a pair of suede purple and gold heels. the heels were gorgeousness! its like purple strappy thingy in front with a gorgeous gold heel. it'll definitely pop out from the plain ensemble.

thinking of how to up the cred further, i suggested we team up a nice cropped jacket with the top. so off to ZARA we went. at first, i suggested a really cute nautical themed blazer with horizontal navy and white stripes on it. but the shoulder pads were not a great selling point. made the model look like a dancer from a Lady Gaga show! haha! they're just too sharp and pointy. so as they were deliberating over my choice, i found a really cute coco chanel-ly blazer that's totally black with gold details and trims, totally chic and totally gorgeousness! but the price was a bit steep for him. it was like going for $129. but it was damn cute! i should ask him for the picture someday and post it here! by then, i had to zip off to another location because i have a movie date with kai xin at 9pm.

but thinking back, i really loved being a personal shoper for them and it was a really fun experience.. unlike women shoppers who tend to browse and deliberate over each article of clothing, i know what i want and i just zoomed in on the articles that match the concept, colour combination and style. imagine this, i was in Pedro looking for a pair of suede heels and found it in 3 minutes flat. the agreed on the style and purchased it thereafter. we were in Charles & Keith looking for a similar styled heel at a lower cost. but just by going around the store once, i know that they do not have what i want. so we exited in like another three minutes. then we went over to Zara to look for the cute compliment. i found the first nautical blazer in 4 minutes. and as they were deliberating over it, i found the coco chane-ly blazer and ran over them saying how cute it looked. we were done at Zara in like ten minutes. how zippy was that!?!? i can sooo be a Personal Shopper! yes ma'am, i can fix you a gorgeous look for any occassion in 30 minutes flat!

that done, i zipped back up to Bishan for the movie date. reached there with like 10 minutes to spare. so i bought the tickets first and we watched it. the movie was Alice in Wonderland and it was superbly done! i just love the cinematography and the lush colours used. really beautiful! it was exactly like watching a fairy tale unfurl before you. really nice! i'm so gonna buy the DVD so that i can treasure it for as long as i live! hahahaha!

the movie ended at like 11pm and guess what?!?! i have to rush over to Ang Mo Kio for an appointment!! i did all my paper work in the bus. i was really like a mad hatter then! gosh! i reached there in 30 minutes and got him to sign on the dotted lines straight away. i refreshed him on hw the plan works and off i went! man! i was totally pooped by then! i hadn't had time for dinner and i can't eat anything by the time i reach home because it was already 12.30am. so i just showered and spent some quality catch up time before i went to log into my email account.

and when i logged into my email account, i saw an email from a friend who needed help with her assignment. so out came my financial calculator and a few pieces of blank paper. it was about estate management and retirement planning. absolutely my forte! but the questions were damn anal! and the case study was a pain in the ass too! this bugger invested all his monies in properties! what a silly thing to do! like seriously! i managed to finish it all by like 2am and started with this blog entry.

okay, ken's gonna entertain you guys now. i'm off to make my darling ken a nice cuppa of hot chocolate! toodles for now!

hey hey people! ken here! how are you? hehe! anyway i had a rather relaxing day at work. so here goes!

i had a meeting in the morning at like 11 and it was really crazy. all about figures and formulas! like what the hell? don't they have like better things to talk about? like the next great singapore sale or something? something more informative and relevant please!??!!?? but thankfully the meeting ended at 12.30 sharp. too bad i can't have lunch with kai though..

i took a really long lunch that ended like at 3pm. and i told my boss that i have some client matters to attend to and its kinda far. so i'd be rather inconvenient for me to come back to the office. haha! he fell into my trap and he said okay! so off i skip to my 'appointment'. and guess where was that?? haha! the YSL boutique at Paragon! my tailor gave me a ring saying my suit was ready for collection and asked if i'd like the suit to be courriered over to my workplace. i said no (obviously) and told him to give me like 30 minutes and i'll be there.

the suit was gorgeous! the tailoring and worksmanship was magnificent and spectacular! really beautiful piece of art! love the material and the sheen it produces! ooo the corporate hyenas at work are so gonna bitch when i wear that to office soon ! hehe! unfrtunately my tweed blazer wasn't ready yet, though and i'll just have to wait probably another week before it comes in. sigh... tweed is such a beautifully destructured look yet it looks so polished it done properly. Madammoiselle Chanel introduced me to tweed and i owe my soul to her. God bless her soul! but its such a pity that you can't wear tweed out in singapore. the 36 degrees celsius will cook you alive i'm sure! hahaha!

i was on my way back home when kai called and said he wont be able to make it for dinner and he has a movie date to go for. so off to kinokuniya for me then! love the kinokuniya at takashimaya! the collection is just so extensive and the cafe was superb! the drinks were kinda blah but ilove the ambience there. its in the bookshop so i can just purchase the magazine that i wanna read and hop over to the cafe for a latte and a pleasant evening out. oh! i bought the latest edition of FINEBOYS by the way. it a japanese fashion magazine for men. but pity i can't read japanese! i just love looking a the pictures and gain some knowledge on mix and match. and i received an sms from kai saying he spotted a lovely coco chanel-lu blazer for the model he was shopping for. haha! since when was he moonlighting as a personal shopper?!?! hehe! i want a personal shopper too!

reached home at like 9pm in the evening and had a really invigorating and warm and extremely long bath. it was de stressing indulgence to the max! (not that i needed any de stressing of sorts! haha not yet! the time is not here yet!) slipped into my bed clothes and was about to lie down on bed with my laptop when my darling doll came home. he looked totally drained so i decided to give him an invigoratingly tight hug. he felt good hugging! haha! and he was really relieved after that. it was like 20 000 tons of bricks got off his back. he skipped merrily to the loo for a shower and lay next to me with his heart. haha! how sappy was that! hehe! he did his blog entry first and went to the kitchen to do some yummy drinks while i complete mine! and speaking of which, he's back!! okay gotta zip guys!

see you guys around soon! at our blog that is! hahaha!
