the b. the butterfly and the frower....

1630 hrs: cali gym rp
last minute prep to fill out the shirt... as if it wasn't already tight... but who knows who we'll meet tonite..

1710hrs: quick shower and change into the frower...hair in place... time to meet the b.

1725hrs: the b. is parked, waiting... invites at hand... and we're off to takashimaya where the butterfly is waiting....

1750hrs: we are greeted by the nice lady at the door... asking us which sponsors are we with... errrps... RIDGEMONT!!! or issit RICHMOND? ah... but we get our free champagne anyway... things are starting to look up...

1800hrs: we have our second round of bubbly.... and some photog comes over to take our pictures... haha... maybe they will use our photographs and give us fake names... ah... the only evidence of the b. the butterfly and the frower together... from then onwards they are no longer photographed together... well, at least for the duration of the nite...david gan appears!... the b. and the butterfly refuses to go up to take photos...

1820hrs: the organizers make a call for the guests to be seated since THE LINK fashion show will commence soon... the trio makes their way in... strange woman shoves lucky draw coupon to the butterfly... the b. and the frower are shocked by the strange elitistism...

1825hrs: short guy with dreadlocks asks if we are from the media... (coz apparently only the ppl from the media gets a free copy of harpers bazaar... *pfftttt*) i COULD be from the press... MAJALAH FESYEN MALAYSIA SDN BHD... and i have my own little publication called the BLOG which does have a daily readership of TEN on a good day... which is about my lifestyle and fashion.. bah.... what does he know...

1840hrs: show commences.. but its really the celeb spotting that we are concerned with... OOH.... there goes lilin... an allan... you certainly cldn't tell that she just gave birth... gasp... jacelyn tay.. who is almost 2dimensional... and we are not referring to her acting... stick thin wld be an overstatement the new roberto cavalli line comes on... ooh.... woman with strangely perky boobs and upturned nipples showing thru the dress... and model showing one boob on the run way (no no it was no wardrobe malfunction.. but similarly intentional)... the challanges of the modelling industry

1900hrs: show ends... we spot jacelyn and insists that we take a photo... the b. had to helm the camera.. and the butterfly requests that she is cropped from the photo.. time to make a quick stop for dinner...

1950hrs: round two... and two more rounds of bubbly... we are dizzy with excitement... the crowd after dark is visibly dressier.. POIS show... our seats weren't as great this time round... but we are one row in front of the models from the last show... i can only imagine how frumpy we looked... nothing too interesting in this show.. no tripping models.. no boob baring stunt.. the bubbly gets to our head and we are starting to feel sleepy...

2100hrs: inspired by the whole fashion experience the butterfly rushes down to zara to model this girly dress... the butterfly asks the frower..

bfly: what do u think?
frwr: it looks kinda girly... (read: you should dress ur own age)
bfly: yar... so pretty rite???!! (read: i'm really only listening to what i want to hear....)

2200hrs: a trip to starbucks... three lattes (two skinny and one fatty... the coffee!! what were u thinking??)... and we are ready to head home....

ps: for those who don't quite get the story... charmaine, ming and i went for a fashion show... for the singapore fashion week.. it was a blast... we'll let you figure out who's the b. the butterfly and the frower.... ;)

hey butterfly, the dress looks much better in a smaller size.. really. you must just not do that waterfall flip fringe thingy that you have..sometimes.. it's very 80's you know...totally does not go with the "try to look young" attempt...
