named

2 carrats?


Religious or angelic names are no longer restricted to Old or New Testament Biblical names these days. Instead, new creations like Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards) has zipped up to #31 on the Social Security Administration's list of popular names. Also flying high: Heaven, Grace, Faith, Trinity, Genesis, Miracle, and Messiah. -'Top Baby Names Trend of 2008'; http://lifestyle.msn.com/your-life/articleab.aspx?cp-documentid=11257635&page=3

I've always wanted to name my daughter (if I have one) - Trinity, now I think I have to think of another name. Having a common name myself, I've always wanted unique but not weird names for my future potential offspring. For male kids, I'd name them after nice friends' names - Derrick, Todd, Frank, Christopher, Edvarcl, Gifford, Chester (Wah, actually my friends have unique names) or ex-lovers - JunJie, Lawrence, Louie, Ridwan, Ivan, Joseph, Mark, Colin ... LOL! Nooooooo.

Ok so now you know the names in my little book...

My feet, still swollen from the standing/walking for hours. I hope I don't get varicose veins. Went to Kenko's for a foot massage, WOW! It was one of the most fantastic massages I went to - no wonder people keep raving about it. Me, too. *raves. It's not like the Thai ones where they press the points with a wooden stick and not like Chinese traditional foot reflex where they try to 'unblock' your meridien points... it's almost like a spa, gently but firmly kneading and pressing away your tension... and the results are instant, instantly felt better for my midnight shoot. Was at supperclub filming models and it was fun! Meanwhile, I can actually see the muscles on my calves and my back firming up, which is good because I need to lose about 2 kg of fat which is wobbling around. Now I have this problem with tummy fats... It seems to be truly, the hardest to get rid off. Shall wean myself off the late nights prata and chomp chomp supper feasts. Also trying to drink more water because I think it helps with the energy levels and the health levels - I successfully drank 1 litre of Evian, the only mineral water taste I like, in the evening yesterday. Aim to down 2 litres a day!


Bought some more chirashi to add to my collection and to put in my new office. I only collect those with cityscape themes so... so far only have a few. But now I think I will just collect those that makes me happy when I look at it. Like this one - Nights in Rodanthe.



It's just so pretty! I think Japanese design always looks nicer somehow. I also bought the 'Made of Honor' one. Captain Zero asked me to go watch it with him when it's out! So it's 'bought in advance' hee. My editor likes 'Stitch', I got one for him, he was SO HAPPY! And immediately pasted it on the wall.


Nice... didn't buy it though.



So cute, maybe buy for meoworks if say the shop stocks it soon...


Also nice! Very pretty! Will look good as wedding invite... *bookmarks it for the future...


SIDETRACK...
Talking about wedding rings, (no, I'm not planning ahead) I just shot at SK Jewellery - they have good deals! And one of the shop guys gave me a lowdown on their jewellery, especially diamond rings.

The current 8 days issue also mentions about diamond rings...I had to buy it because my favorite Andrea Fonseka was on the cover...

And did you know the Jurong point outlet is a factory outlet of sorts where even their Soo Kee brand goes on sale for 70% off?

Well...

Because I was filming them, I took the diamond opportunity to demand, 'SHOW ME YOUR MOST EXPENSIVE RING' and they did!

Actually not very expensive, about $3K + only...

Looks like a normal solitaire also, I guess I'm not a diamond kinda gal.

So I told the nice sales guy what I liked and what I don't.
Guys, take note if your next girlfriend is as...knowledgeable as me.


The normal, standard engagement ring, presenting the diamond solitaire!

I don't like. Just too common - square ones even WORSE looking. I also don't like the 4 prong... I asked him if there were 3 prongs but he said that the diamond may drop off -_- so only works for small diamonds... Tiffany's one is signature 6 prongs.


This kind...will make any gu-niang go misty-eyed.

I'm sure you are wondering what my fave type is.
Since I'm so...knowledgeable.

Similar to baby names, something unique but not too weird.

Actually I do like:


Heart shaped cut! V rare - difficult to do and not often bought by guys I presume. SK only has one model and it is 3 small diamonds put together instead of the difficult one diamond. I asked if it comes in other colours like, pink diamond? Sales guy said have, only at Larry Jewellery ...

And it costs $30K!

At that price I think I prefer husband to put the downpayment on the house, hor... I also will be scared to wear it out, must hire bodyguards, or finger guards...

And my fave, fave cut:


It's the marquise cut.

Actually I also didn't know that's the name of it until I described it to the sales guy.

Marquise cut always looks nice, and unique too. Not too flashy like a big round bling. But sleek and lean like me. LOL


In yellow diamond, nice man!


Many marquises


Retro style, with sapphire


Elongated, I like this one too!

Meanwhile, I'm moving office. To a place I've always wanted to live in, since I was young my dream house was a shophouse with black windows and I've got it. Thanks Boss, I give him a bit of credit...

It looks bare now, but I shall buy some rugs and wallcoverings! Ikea has the 2009 catalogue out!
