Time for a change.

Yes, a new blog URL! I guess I changed it because I think this new one is more relevant to me right now. I was really a different person, and a different blogger, when I started MarsArmy-Girl.blogspot.com.

To my fellow bloggers, kindly update my link on your blog as soon as possible.

And a brand new layout! It's red and pink for the combination of Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day this February :)

Nah see, this time I have a valid reason for all the pink, so you guys cannot complain! Mwahahahaha!

The background is from Shel's Scraps, and the original header is from Allie Brown's Layouts (before I butchered personalized it). Other design elements from Shabby Blogs and Shabby Princess.

Like I always say, although the step-by-step making and changing my blog layout is so tedious and tiring, it always becomes worth it in the end. And then 1 month later, I repeat the whole process :P

Something I also changed recently are my hit counters. I still keep my old Stat Counter one, which is invisible, but I added a few chio ones from Domino Counter (the one Xiaxue uses) that show how many hits I get a day and how many readers there are currently.

I guess that's about it. Happy February, guys!

Possible prom dress? + Photos from Sunday!

January is almost over and unbelievably, people are STILL talking about prom (when they're not talking about me la -__-")! We're hyped up alright.

All the guys are worried about being rejected when they ask a girl to prom, and all the girls are worried about not being asked at all. And of course, finding the right prom dress la!

Everybody, and I mean everybody, keeps saying I should go with Nai Ping. I don't mind, but how am I supposed to go with him if he doesn't ask, huh huh??

Supposedly he wants to ask me la, but I don't know for sure mah. Maybe I should make a pact with him like Maria and Nick did. Lol. At least she got assurance okay! T___T

Anyway, I found this dress on a Singaporean online shop, Zepherra. Got the link from Esther Xie's blog.

Okay, I know the model is ugly with horrible shoes but just try to picture only the dress.

I really am looking for something pink, and the more I look at this, the more I'm in love with it! And shit, it's only B$30 with registered mail. Lol okay, I sound so cheapskate. But honestly, I don't care about the price at all.

It's such a pretty shade of pink, just the right length, the right kind of poofy skirt I want and an unusual toga design! You know, I have a right mind to just order it now :D

Talking about dresses... I tried on a few on my Sunday out with Jia Yee, Lilian and Maria (just realized it was like a Bloggers' Day Out!). A.k.a. Milly, Lilly and Mally. I very bo su cho go and edit all the photos until become like what 0=)

Started the day at Cheezbox, where I met Milly and Lilly who were finishing their lunch. 

The only thing I've ever eaten in Cheezbox ever, I think, is their Iced Cappuccino. And it was fucking bitter and disgusting! D:

This dress from Ego is cho very hot but damn ass slutty wei! It's made of some smooth, slutty material. Lycra kah?? And there is TOTAL VPL which means you'd have to wear a g-string -__-"

Another one from Ego. For the rocker chick in all of us! Black PVC leather with the swishiest gauze and satin skirt ever! I couldn't stop twirling round and round :D

Aiseh, I think I'm even better than some of those blogshop models eh! xD Bah ok who wants to hire me as model?? *widens eyes*

When we were in the fitting room, each time Jia Yee or Lilian wanted to snap a photo, one or both of them would fake a loud cough or sneeze. Sibeh hilarious! It cracked me up like crazy until I couldn't hold still. Thus the big, natural laughing smiles in the pics.

I saw another really nice black strapless chiffon dress with a white bow sash in Bingo, but I couldn't get the zipper to work so I didn't try it on <=(

Jia Yee mislead me by telling me that Giordano was selling a pink leopard print top identical to Cheesie's one for only B$9.90. Got me all excited!

Turns out it's fugly -__-" Just check out my dissatisfied, smileless face!

My favourite photo that day has got to be this one! :D

I love how our heads are all aligned. Plus I look so chio can! Omg self-praise hahahaha. I love my hair! Now when I wear earrings, you can actually SEE them.

And I love escalator pics!

Even if my butt looks ginormous from this angle and we almost ran out of escalator! Had to scramble to get off in time.

Dimply Lilly! That's what I shall call you from now on :D

Maria's sexiest photo ever ;) And not just because she matches the foodcourt chairs either. You know who it's for!

And because there are no pics of Jia Yee so far...

Uh oh! I have a feeling she's gonna kill me :S

And of course, this one deserves a repost too!

By far, Maweeyah's cutest photo of all time! Your cuteness can even rival Melvin Tang's! Heheheh 0=)

All the photos were taken by Jia Yee's DSLR and can be found on her blog. Get-Bedazzled.blogspot.com, go now! See Jia, I'm so kind, free publicity :D

P/S: HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY, JOJO!! Our Mr President :D

Australian Open Tennis 2010.

Finally got a chance to blog again because my broadband internet has been down the past few days!

Every time January of a new year rolls around, us tennis fans get excited. Why, you ask?

The first grand slam of the year, the Australian Open of course! I think the Australian Open has gotta be my 2nd favourite tennis grand slam, after Wimbledon (although maybe after last year's Roddick-Federer finals showdown, it's now my least favourite T___T)

It's the one grand slam where I can watch the matches LIVE and don't have to stay up till abominable times to watch it because of the time zone difference.

So far, the Men's Semifinals are... Marin Cilic vs Andy Murray and Roger Federer vs  JW Tsonga. The Women's Finals are between Serena Williams and Justine Henin.

Every year, I support the same players, hoping with crossed fingers and watching with bated breath. But fuck man, I think they all lost already! T___T

ANDY RODDICK! (Mwahahaha Shar, suck on that! :D) Omg, I've supported this guy front and center since I was like... 10. When he was young and #1 and rivaling Lleyton Hewitt and dating Mandy Moore and won the US Open.

See I'm so faithful!

Hi cutie :)

Okay la, now his wife Brooklyn Decker is so bloody damn gorgeous, can win Mandy Moore any day, lolol.

She's a swimsuit model plz!

He's so sweet and funny and hot and LET'S GO ANDY, LET'S GO! I thought he was a goner already cause the past few recent years he's been really sucky, but now he's good again! Better than ever, in fact.

Fuck I love that serve of his.

And it's hilarious how he MUST always fight with umpires xD

But sadly, Roddick lost to Marin Cilic in the quarterfinals. The match was so kancheong man! I was like alternating between shouting and crying. Roddick, after losing 2 sets, had the greatest comeback ever and won 2 sets!! Shit man, I was sure he was gonna win already, but in the end he lost the 5th set. So depressing.

Fuck you Adrien Brody look-alike aka Cilic! <=( So happy Murray beat you in the semifinals.

I still think Roddick should've won Wimbledon 2009, not Federer. He deserved it SO MUCH! In the end, he was just unlucky. For hours I watched that match, so damn kancheong then omg, my heart literally broke.

FUCK YOU, FEDERER, I STILL HATE YOU AND WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU EVER!!! I HOPE YOU LOSE!!

NOVAK DJOKOVIC! This guy is pretty much more recent, maybe the past 3 years? No idea why I started supporting him, I guess I was bored of watching all the hideous players, and I didn't like Federer nor Nadal, and he was pretty cute and good? Lol. And I think it was when Roddick wasn't good.

And for the girls, as always, I am faithful to MARIA SHARAPOVA. Ever since she was 16 (my age now, omg!) and won her first Wimbledon against Serena Williams and has been the original glamour girl of tennis.

But omg I'm so sad, she lost in the first round, wtf!! :'( No more on-court chioness and her super cute, stylish Nike outfits! Noooooo!! That green tie-dyed floaty dress was too cute!

I still remembered when she won the 2008 Australian Open, oh my, that was epic! She was incredible.

This is the bitch she lost to. Some unknown cb named Maria Kirilenko! Argh! Sharapova lost the first set closely 6-7 then she won the second set, and what the hell happened?? T__T

But nvm, she definitely has future potential career as a supermodel. Cb, 6 feet plus tall, with those darn long toned legs! And those effing broad shoulders and that blonde hair and somemore so pretty.

Why are some people so genetically gifted? :(

I also quite like DINARA SAFINA. That girl is too freaking cool and gung ho! She beat like, 3 different #1 players in the span of 6 months last year? Or something like that.

All the matches she plays MUST be 3 sets. She will always lose the first set, then second set very close and then finally win the 3rd set. ALWAYS! Don't believe, you try watch.

Her boobies look like eyes.

Kinda reminds me of Andy lah, but Andy always loses the first set, then if he wins the second set, he got chance to win the match, but it MUST be second and third set that he wins.

If he loses first and second set, no hope already. He will get some sort of negative mentality or something. (Wrote this before his crazy comeback match against Cilic!)

Not because he no stamina, he got truckloads of stamina, or else how he play 4 hour match with Federer until the 5th set so bloody long!

I also used to think JUSTINE HENIN is quite chio, but now she's kinda old la. But she's so cool leh! She retired from tennis for 2 years to have children and now she's back playing unseeded but she's emmefin incredible! I kinda wanted a Safina vs. Henin final.

And I must include my favourite umpires too! Yes, I have favourite umpires :D Mostly it's the umpires who're very funny when Roddick fights with them, but yeah, they're the less boring umpires.

Carlos Ramos!

And Enric Molina!

Btw, omg, can't believe Ana Ivanovic lost in the 2nd round and is now 20th seed. Fuck man, she was like one of the #1's last year o.O

So I guess, so far, for the Women's Finals, I'll be rooting for Justine Henin. And for the Men's Finals... as long as it's not Federer, I'm happy!

Type Hard

I'm pretty sure that, at least as it's portrayed in the film, pirate radio a la “Pump Up the Volume” is to the early 90’s what blogging is to today. Blogs are for expressing your opinions, sharing music, and especially, entertaining your friends – Just like, “Happy-Harry-Hard-On.” He’s [Christian Slater as Mark Hunter] saying whatever he wants, unsure if anyone's listening, except his "3 fans", but actually builds a fanatic following of repressed and angry teens. I don’t know if any teens actually had pirate radio stations at any point in time - including Arizona circa 1990 – however, nearly everyone I know has an internet presence. Basically it's really easy to put yourself out there these days, and you don't run the risk of an FCC car chase. Bonus.


Talk Hard

I get nostalgic over the land lines in any 80’s or 90’s films – I had a mock payphone in my room for all of middle school (which just so happens to be for sale a Urban Outfitters today) it’s why the Hamburger phone from Juno was such a surprise hit. They were fun and clunky and also tied you down. Look at the teens in “Pump Up the Volume” sitting on their beds holding out their phones to their friends on the other end of the line – the whole length of the show, listening to the radio but on the phone. You can also tell a bit about the kids by how they listen – the “bad kids” park on the football field, no apparent adult influence preventing them from listening to the show loudly on car speakers. The “good kids” who turn down the volume when parents enter their bedroom. The exception is Nora – the love interest, in her bedroom taking notes and writing them.

Look Hard
You’ll spot a long-haired, “Airborne” era Seth Green. Pause the shot of labels on those stacks of cassettes, “Ice-T” “Henry Rollins” - “Bad Brains” – just to name a few. Listen Hard to Leonard Cohen and the UK Surf version of “Wave of Mutilation.” Yes, it’s the early 90’s – and yes it’s pretty cheesy. But I am happy to give in to nostalgia to enjoy it now, 20 years later if you can believe it. And just disregard everything you know about the Christian Slater of now and enjoy bad-ass teenage Christian Slater.

Talk Fashion
I won’t deny how much of an influence 80’s/very early 90’s costume design has had on me, I can’t -- I’m wearing bracelets half-way up my arm this very moment.

Man, I love the cool (i.e. bad) kids in “Pump Up the Volume.” From Nora’s dyed black hair, tights and enormous sweaters to the layers of thrift store finds on Nora’s best friend, not to mention the scores of ripped jeans and of course, pearls…



Teen-angst, Ellen Greene, a sexy love story, great songs, and a chase scene with the dad from Teen Wolf. Sounds pretty good to me.

Plastic surgery: How much is too much?

One thing's for sure, Heidi Montag has had WAY too much! She was that blonde bimbo from that MTV show The Hills, by the way.

No, not Lauren Conrad, the other one. Wait, you'll see. If you can even recognize her after all her plastic surgery, that is!

I was catching up with PerezHilton.com a few days ago, when I came across the story of Heidi Montag's unbelievable TEN plastic surgery operations in just ONE DAY!

You know I just HAD to blog about it!

She did an interview with People magazine about it and appeared on their cover in all her fake, plastic glory. At first I thought it was Paris Hilton wtf! Doesn't it look like her??

And ohmagawd, Heidi looks SO DIFFERENT!! She doesn't even look like the same person anymore for God's sake! What could drive someone to do something like this?!

Eyebrow lift, cheek implants, nose job, Botox, chin reduction, lip augmentation, pinned ears, liposuction on her neck, waist, hips and thighs, butt augmentation and boob job.

Holy crap, what a mouthful!

I mean, that's just scary! She's practically 100% plastic now! Hollywood's very own Dawn Yang :O

And I personally think she became uglier. Not only does she really look like a tranny now, she also looks like she aged 20 years overnight! Tsk tsk.

AND THOSE BOOBS! Don't even get me started on them. They're triple-D's (O.O!) and look SO HIDEOUSLY RIDICULOUS on her because she's such a small, skinny girl (partly due to plastic surgery too)! And now she ends up looking like a porn star.

She's only 23, but I swear, she looks 40! She would fit in perfectly on Desperate Housewives.

I mean COME ON! I know she's cuckoo and dumb as a post, but really?? How stupid can she get?! She reconstructed her face until it looks so fake and unnatural, it's disgusting.

This isn't even her first round of plastic surgery. What you see in that "Before" picture isn't really what she looks like. Silly, silly girl. She should've never gone for the second time.

She'd already had plastic surgery on her boobs, her nose and her lips once before when she was 20. 20!

This is what she originally looked like. She used to look to sweet and innocent! T__T

I understand not liking some things you're born with. I guess it must be hard, with her photos plastered everywhere and paparazzi following her day and night and aspiring to become a singer. It's not like she's an actress who is naturally stunning and looks perfect.

So I guess I can understand why she'd be overly insecure about her plain, sweet-girl looks and want to get plastic surgery, but 10 surgeries in 1 day and a total reconstruction of her entire body and face?! That's just gross. Hollywood just gets more and more messed up by the day.

A lot of people were saying she's well on her way to becoming Cat Lady. Who the F is that right?

Turns out she's some 60-year-old woman named Jocelyn Wildenstein who paid $4 million for plastic surgery on her face just to end up looking like this...

ABSOLUTELY SCARY! I think this blog sums it up the best.

The sad thing is that she was originally quite pretty. Then she went to her plastic surgeon saying she wanted to look "like a cat" and "more feline" a.k.a. disfigure her face. WTF man!

I actually feel quite sorry for her. I'm sure she never meant for this to happen. But you know, at least she doesn't look 60, right? Nah, instead she looks like a monster.

Omg, I think I'm gonna get nightmares from this!

I won't lie, I'm considering plastic surgery when I'm a bit older, just a few things I'm itchy about. I was thinking maybe I might do it, if at some point in my life I have the money for it.

But shit! This has just scared the living daylights outta me! D: I ain't no hypocrite, I'll be rethinking my plastic surgery thoughts for sure.
