Haha.. Well, not really. Newspaper to be exact. Mandy's featured in Straits Times Urban section as one of the top 30 Best Dressed Females.

In the article:

"Though she was part of the bubblegum pop revolution led by Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Moore always had a sense of fashion beyond her years. While Spears and Aguilera are busy committing fashion blunders, Moore is a regular on best dressed lists. She chooses cocktail dresses and evening gowns by big names like Stella McCartney (her favorite designer) which flatter her curvey figure while exuding girlish charm."

I'd like to point out that a few years back, she was one named one of the nicest/warmest interviewees in the Life section as well.

Need I reiterate why I love her?

P.S. Thx Nir1 for the comments on the site. Most of the stuff have been remedied. And actually, you should have meant "those photos I took". Notice the picture at the back with my trademark pose? Hehe. Well, I have to use your pix since I've yet to get the rest from a certain somebody=P









Hello.. Well, my last official post here was dated waaay back in July I guess.. I've been concentrating more on my other blog, a combined team blog "esmscc" where I helped create, organise and now self-appoint as mod;P

Now, back to this blog! No more overkill cheesy talk about manga n Japanese stuff etc.. No more poseur German headings crap. Ok, not so much crap, I like the language. So uber manly;) No more blogger.com cookie-cutter templates..

New stuff, bells & whistles that you readers can find here;

• New template (duh!)
• Updated profile (not so much)
• New tagboard (and certainly improved!)
• A music player (which I'll feature a fancied song in that period)
• A clean slate on posts

Very importantly, I need to acknowledge the original creator of the template which I got from blogskins.com. His/her nick's Sheepo or something.. FYI, I juz took most of the basics from his/her creation, which was orignally all orange and main pix was a sheep, and tweaked it to suit my own. Black background, different sidebar configurations and certainly the centerpiece pix (which I can safely say I'm proud of by using 3 different applications and figured how to post it up on the blog). Cut short, I'd like to thank him/her for letting me use mainly the color config & the cursor scripts=)

Well, what to expect from posts here? I don't know! Lessons learnt from previous posts as well as critiques from close friends have shown that they are plain boring. Well, no complains here, since I accept criticisms just fine. Posting frequency will certainly be inconsistent as I'll be more inclined to post in the esmscc blog.. I'll try to make the contents more..personal? Maybe in your face is the term here.. Let me defend my "in my own words" title up there. Well, I was sleepy and making the header pix was getting kinda frustrating. So, it was rushed. But I'll try hold true to it. I'll try, I'll try..

Blaa blaa blaa... Another yap about how his posts are gonna be like.. So let's get on with it..

For the pilot entry (sort of), I'd juz like to share this South Park episode on WoW.. Those youtube addicts probably have seen it, but still.. Videos in blog can never go wrong.. You have to wait patiently while it loads. Maybe a soothing melody of sway while you wait. It's from one of my all time fav movies American Pie=)



Btw, I foresee comments on how this template is too "scroll heavy". Well, I have to agree, scrolling down to find earlier posts n the tagboard may prove to be downright annoying. BUT, I like the way how the blog loads up to the so-called artwork that I've made.. Maybe improvements can be made next time when I learn how to integrate buttons & anchors to the background. Cut a HTML noob some slack k..












Hello ppl! This blog is undergoing a major transformation.. As you can see, there is already a new look, a new tagboard but still no new posts.. Hopefully, There'll be one soon.. Feel free to comment on the new look=)
