So pretty!
Finally! Look what I downloaded... Isn't it shamelessly gaudy and pink? I LOVE IT!
A PINK THEME!
For years Mozilla only gave us stupid blue boyish themes that for some reason all made my pc look like a mac. FOR WHAT?! I like my pc!
This is so nice! :D
Here, for you girlies. Don't say I never share hor!
By the way, anyone knows how to edit a downloaded Mozilla theme? I actually went to read up on it and I can't find the appropriate .jar file. Man, I am such a geek sometimes. Frightens myself.

In defence of plastic surgery
I was moderating the comments for the post with Dawn's and my photo, and the more I read, the more pissed I feel.
It is pretty apparent by now and she and I are friends, so I don't see why it is necessary for stupid readers to compare her and me. If you think she is pretty and I am ugly, then just compliment her la, why must you put me down while complimenting her?
Vice versa of course.
And the plastic surgery issue is so long ago over. People are still asking me if she did surgery.
By now the answer still not obvious meh? So she did (I am presuming from old photos), so what man?
It's her face what, you her mother ah? She wanna do anything to it also can.
I cannot understand people who talk so much about natural beauty. You know what I think? FUCK NATURAL BEAUTY. Don't brush your teeth lor! Cannot put braces! CANNOT DYE YOUR HAIR!
Coz if you do any of that, it's not natural beauty anymore!
Please don't say things like "Xiaxue has natural beauty, Dawn doesn't".
Firstly, I already announced very loudly many times that I edit my photos, and I cannot reveal my secrets la, but it has to do with making my nose smaller and my jawline firmer *blush*. Damn I just revealed it.
So I am no natural beauty on this blog.
Even if you saw me in real life and think I'm pretty, what's so authentic about foundation, fake eyelashes, and loads of mascara?
FACE IT LA. Everyone is fucking fake. Who can be all natural? I know who... Ugly people.
You say these girls, plastic or made up, are cheating the world with their looks.
But I ask this: What's stopping you from doing the same? Lack of talent in putting make up? Or lack of money to do surgery?
If you had loads of money and your surgery is RISK-FREE to confirm make you more beautiful, you don't want meh?
My point is... It is fair competition! If you are a girl and not happy with the boys thinking Dawn is so hot, then fucking go do surgery yourself.
Defending your own ugliness by defending the lameass "natural beauty" just reeks of your jealousy.
So you are ugly but filled with natural beauty (ha, ironic). WHO CARES? Who goes on magazine covers and fucks the hot models? NOT YOU, NATURAL BEAUTY AMBASSADOR.
In one disappointing movement, I am hereby announcing that if I ever had the chance to, I WILL GET A NOSE JOB!
Of course, I will honestly tell everyone I did surgery la. Ha! At least a bit authentically fake.
As for the photoshop, I just did my usual nose-adjusting and a bit of jaw pushing, that's it. Why should I photoshop for Dawn too? I think she looks fine. Plus, I am not close to her and have no idea whether she likes people tinkering with her photos.
It was ME to asked Dawn to take a photo with me, and she does not deserve getting so much flak in my blog's comments for that.
My blog reader Cedric helps me moderate comments too, so it's not like I can screen all the comments myself.
Just be nice la, ok?

I demand interesting advertising!!!
Click to enlarge
Jack in the Box is one of America's largest fast food chains, and it has SUPERB advertising!!!!
The copy is so freaking funny!!
I liked it so much that I actually folded it, put it in my bag, and flew it 22 hours back here! I wet it a bit at the edge though... Hehe...
I wish we have this kinda interesting advertising in Singapore. You think Singaporeans will like a sense of humour in our ads?
Sometimes I think Singaporeans are too freaking uptight (I.e. Stomp readers throwing a big fuss over vulgarities), but it seems like many of us appreciate humour too!
Anyway, this is not another bout of Singapore-bashing just because I went to US. I'm just complaining about everything under the sun as usual, and I still love Singapore, just that I hate all of the fucking anal people staying in here.
And maybe also hate the Advertising people coz they mostly suck. Remember the nice Prudential ad a long time ago? The boy growing up one? That was nice! Wonder what happened to these talented people... Wonder how that bespectacled handsome model looks like now?! Anyone knows him?!!
MAN I HATE PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOUR! Anyway, Jack in the Box. Funny. Uptight Swiss people! HAHAHA.
p/s:
I'm conducting a dating experiment for a new project I'm working on right now, and I'm looking for volunteers interested in being my date for the sake of science. Ok not really science but it's for a good cause lah.
If interested, please email me with "Dating Experiment" in the subject line, your contact info and a short intro about yourself. If you have a picture, all the better. It will be fun! Email me ok!

A Great Day in Houston - DJ Screwfest 2006!
Before we get into my review of and photos from DJ Screwfest I need to remind you that this Thursday July 27th is our HoustonSoReal LIVE Event with BBC 1xtra. DJ Semtex will be in town all week and it is going down. If you have mot RSVP'd yet, you need to do so now. Send your name(s) to BBCHoustonEvent@gmail.com and you will be in.
And to all who have emailed so far, I will be sending out confirmations tonight. Print 'em out and bring 'em to the door!
Anyway, see you Thursday. Below please find over 70 photos from yesterdays First Annual DJ Screw Fest. Believe me when I say it was off the chain. If you can't see it in the photos then you ain't looking. Peace to everyone involved and I hope to see it again next year.
Only complaint is that well, if I knew that Devin and Bun B were not even in town, I am quite sure the promoters did as well. I didn't hear too many shouts of Devin the Dude coming up later, but I sure did hear "THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME UGK IS ON STAGE TOGETHER IN OVER 4 YEARS!" On the radio all the way there, and being hollered from the stage. I know that "no shows" are normal in the rap world, but that bullshit has got to stop.
Anyway, enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed the event! (Which inceidentally was Elena's first concert. She can tell all her friends her first real concert was SLIM THUGGA MUTHAFUCKA!)

And my good folks from What it Dew Magazine
All in all it was a great day that faced, but overcame some obstacles and I'ma assume everyone had a great time. I was fucking psyched in the end. What a wonderful, wonderful event. I'm ready for next years event. Though I mean, you really don't HAVE to have it around Screw's birthday, I mean, I'm thinking October would be good. There was a time this day where I thought I was gonna fall out from the heat. Man, for real. I don't generally hang in parking lots on 95 degree days. Wow. But it was worth every ounce of sweat. Thanks for the free beers and the great vibes. If you missed out, I'm sorry for you.
