INAUGURAL NEIGHBOURHOOD BALL GOODNESS...

thanks alot for singing my wedding song b... i was saving it, keeping it a secret so i wouldn't have one of those cheesy crap slow jams that my friends/cousins had for their first dance. but now everyone's gonna think i copied it from here!!! hahaha oh well, it'll be another 40 years before i do so i guess it's ok. don't do it again though. lolz

I HAVEN'T HAD DELI BELLY, BUT...

i want to go home. home as in asia. i am totally asian. lolz. no, really though. it's only been what, 15hrs and i'm over india. guys here are soooooooooo creepy. i'm not being racist either. indian women are absolutely stunning. really beautiful. and the colours of their sari's are so delicious. but the men? yuck. i doesn't help that they think i'm indian. i got through immigration&customs fast enough, but not at the expense of the guys calling their friends over to check me out (and i felt sick to the stomach at the hungry look in their eye) before handing my passport back. i just kept my eyes lowered and kept all expression vacant.

i have no clothes what so ever that are appropriate. a) because it's fucken cold here (it's like a cold winter day in palmy) and b) women don't show their ankles, shoulders, clevage (not that i have any lolz) and the list goes on. i was annoyed for having to dress appropriately in saigon. but here, it's more coz i'm scared of theun-wanted attention that i attract! i blame the hair lolz

we were driven to one of the malls today, and also had a chaperone that was arranged by the hotel. it's so weird having someone trail 6ft behind you at all times while tryna do some mindless shopping. i just felt... felt trapped. like, i was constantly watched. (which i was, duh!) i ended up with a winter coat and a pair of levis. i was abit guttered coz they didn't have super tubes like i was looking for and gave me a style that was popular with all the indian girls. (straight leg. boooooring.) i only covered a fraction of the mall (it was GIGANTIC!!!) but the whole being followed thing made me so paranoid that i just gave up and asked to go back.

my next dillema? i've only got jandals & a pair of peep toe heels hahahaha so i've gotta find somewhere to get some covered shoes. but an hour drive to the mall? nah i can just have cold feet.

the other experience i had for the first time today were the beggers at the traffic lights. majority are kids that knock on the window of the car and either try to see magazines or condoms (lolz!) or else perform a circus like act inbetween the cars that are waiting for the lights to change. i wasn't shocked, more saddened that they were so young (and so grubby) but i won't lie, i was a little scared and locked my door too. they never open doors though, so i was told. i hid behind my faux bans so i wouldn't have to make eye contact with them.

i'm liking my room though, the whole window/wall thing is crazy & i love it. when we got in at 2am this morning i ran myself a giant bubble bath and watched CNN through the glass before going to bed. this is sucha hazy city (as my photos show!) this morning was considered "clear" by the staff.

i can't believe my aunty and uncle are moving here this year. i don't think i'll be visiting this city, like the previous others that they've lived in. i love asia, so i felt very 'at home' in shanghai, vietnam, bangkok, etc etc. but here? nah.

even though (yes, prepare to laugh lolz) i've seen a few guys that have potential. until of course they give me that gross hungry look that just makes my skin crawl.

ok, i'm exhusted coz i had a wrestless sleep. so i'm off to watch bollywood music videos (they're really good!)

i'll keep you informed with the weeks events. peace.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER...

are fucken scary in india.

THE SWEET INNOCENCE OF LITTLE A GIRL BETWEEN HER & HER DADDY...

i love when kiddies dress their age. i love even more when the new president of the united states is given the thumbs up by a little girl because to her, he's just 'dad'. i love the colgate smiles of the obamas. haha. i love that sasha and malia will forever be known in history because their dad was the first coloured man in the white house. i don't love the fact that i still haven't packed for india & leave in the next 2 hours. lolz.

THE CARTERS...

good to see beyonce wearing my rayban sunglasses. jay-z- there are no words to describe the retardedness (yes, that is a word) of your hat and glasses.

MISS ARETHA, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

damn. when i get to be her age, i can only hope to be as classy. in both soul and style.

OBAMA INAUGURATION GOODNESS...

"Mrs Obama chose a scintillating gold-embossed coat and matching shift-style dress for her first appearance on Inauguration Day..."

so says the daily telegraph! i've figured out that vietnam is behind washington d.c by 12 hours exactly. so their day is my night. sorta like nz & london have a 12 hr time difference.



i think it's appropriate for the occasion & she looks fab but... what is up with matching the cardigan and scarf?! c'mon michelle, i expected you to work it a little more. even if you matched your scarf to your heels. something to break all the gold. (i personally think the cardigan under that beautiful coat is hideous, but whatevz.)

exciiiiiiiiting!!! i just want it all to hurry up 'coz i've gotta be up at 6am to get to the airport early to fly out to india (new dehli) via bangkok. lolz! it looks cold in dc. and no doubt the soon to be first lady is feeling it since she don't have many clothes on. but hey, that's the price to pay when you've gotta dress to impress huh??

as for biden's wifes outfit... are you serious?! (sorry, no one has bothered to upload photos of her yet haha)
