Tag It and Bag It

I love the little details in life. A well-placed stack of magazines, a throw tossed over a chair just so, or the perfect ribbon to top off a well-wrapped package make all the difference in the world.

I think the holidays must be on my mind because great gift tags are catching my eye today.

Like these sweet little numbers from Faded Plains would be great to mark a birthday or anniversary.



I would love to tie these gorgeous zinc cards from Un Esprit en Plus on a fall buffet as food labels. 



Adding a personal note never looked so good than with custom card from Duet Letterpress that attach with a mini-clothespin!


But of course a picture is worth a thousand words as these tags by Sara Norris illustrate so beautifully.

Hope you're able to enjoy some fun details today!

Digest this Malaysian politicians and citizens

Subject: Digest this Malaysian politicians and citizens

BY * AHMAD MUSTAPHA

*The writer is a nephew of Dr Mahathir..

Singapore's Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, who was Singapore 's founding
father, has always been very direct in his comments. This was the man who
outsmarted the communists in Singapore (with the innocent help of Malaya
then and the willing help of the British) and who later outwitted the
British and outpaced Malaysia in all spheres.

Singapore practices corrupt-free meritocracy and Malaysia affirmative
action. The former attracted all the best brains and the latter chased out
all the brains. The Singapore cabinet consists of dedicated and intelligent
technocrats whereas Malaysia has one of the most unwieldy cabinets. Not only
that, brain wise it was below par not even good for the kampong.

With that kind of composition, one that is very brainy, naturally Singapore
, with no natural resources could outstrip Malaysia in every aspect of
development. Malaysia , on the other hand, was too much preoccupied with its
Malayness and the illusory 'Ketuanan Melayu' and was also more interested in
useless mega iconic development rather than real social and economic
development.

Whenever Kuan Yew utters anything that deemed to be a slight on Malaysia ,
voices were raised admonishing him. Malaysia would never dare to face
reality. That Singapore had shown that it could survive was a slap on those
who believed that Singapore would fold up once it left Malaysia . Therefore
it was natural that these doomsayers would try to rationalise their
utterances to be in their favour to combat on whatever Kuan Yew commented.
Its political jealousy.

Singapore achieved its development status without any fanfare. But here in
Malaysia , a development that was deceptive was proclaimed as having
achieved development status. It was trumpeted as an achievement that befits
first world status. This was self delusion. Malaysians are led to believe
into a make believe world, a dream world. The leaders who themselves tend to
believe in their own fabricated world did not realise the people were not
taken in by this kind of illusion.

Lee Kuan Yew believed in calling a spade a spade. I was there in Singapore
when the People's A ction Party won the elections in 1959. He was forthright
in his briefing to party members as to what was expected of them and what
Singapore would face in the future. Ideologically, I did not agree with him.
We in the University of Malaya Socialist Club had a different interpretation
of socialist reconstruction. But he was a pragmatist and wanted to bring
development and welfare to the Singaporeans. Well! He succeeded.

Malaysia was so much embroiled in racial politics and due to the fear of
losing political power, all actions taken by the main party in power was
never targeted towards bringing wealth to all. Wealth was distributed to the
chosen few only. They were the cronies and the backers of the party
leadership to perpetuate their own selfish ends.

Seeing the efficiency and the progress achieved by Singapore caused the
Malaysian leadership to suffer from an inferiority complex.. That Malaysia
should suffer from this complex was of its own making.

In a recent interview, Kuan Yew said that Malaysia could have done better if
only it treated its minority Chinese and Indian population fairly. Instead
they were completely marginalised and many of the best brains left the
country in drove. He added that Singapore was a standing indictment to what
Malaysia could have done differently. He just hit the nail right there on
the head.

Malaysia recently celebrated its 50th year of independence with a bagful of
uncertainties. The racial divide has become more acute. The number of Malay
graduates unemployed is on the increase. And this aspect can be very
explosive.. But sad to see that no positive actions have been taken to
address these social ills.

Various excuses were given by Malaysian leaders why Singapore had far
outstripped Malaysia in all aspects of social and economic advancement.
Singapore was small, they rationalised and therefore easy to manage.
Singapore was not a state but merely an island.

There was one other aspect that Malaysia practises and that is to politicise
all aspects of life. A ll government organs and machinery were 'UMNO-ised'.
This was to ensure that the party will remain in power. Thus there was this
misconception by the instruments of government as to what national interest
is and what UMNO vested interest is.

UMNO vested interest only benefited a few and not the whole nation. But due
to the UMNO-isation of the various instruments of government, the country
under the present administration had equated UMNO vested interest as being
that of national interest. Thus development became an avenue of making money
and not for the benefit of the people. The fight against corruption took a
back seat. Transparency was put on hold. A nd the instruments of government
took it to be of national interest to cater to the vested interest of UMNO.
Enforcement of various enactments and laws was selective... Thus a 'palace'
in Kelang, A Ps cronies and close-one-eye umno MPs could exist without
proper procedure. Corruption infested all govt departments, the worse is the
police and lately even in the judiciary.

Singapore did not politicise its instruments of government. If ever
politicisation took place, it is guided by national interest. To be
efficient and to be the best in the region was of paramount importance. Thus
all the elements like corruption, lackadaisical attitude towards work and
other black elements, which would retard such an aim, were eliminated.
Singapore naturally had placed the right priority in it's pursuit to achieve
what is best for its people. This is the major difference between these two
independent countries.

Malaysia in its various attempts to cover up its failures embarked on
several diversions. It wanted its citizens to be proud that the country had
the tallest twin-tower in the world, although the structure was designed and
built by foreigners. Its now a white-elephant wasting away. It achieved in
sending a man into space at an exorbitant price. For what purpose? These are
what the Malays of old would say "menang sorak" (hollow victories).

It should be realised that administering a country can be likened to
managing a corporate entity. If the management is efficient and dedicated
and know what they are doing, the company will prosper.. The reverse will be
if the management is poor and bad. The company will go bust.

There are five countries around this region. There is Malaysia , and then
Indonesia . To the east there is the Philippines and then there is that
small enclave called the Sultanate of Brunei . A ll these four countries
have abundance of natural resources but none can lay claim to have used all
these resources to benefit the people. Poverty was rampant and independence
had not brought in any significant benefits to the people.

But tiny Singapore without any resources at all managed to bring development
to its citizens. It had one of the best public MRT transport systems and
airlines in the world and it is a very clean city state. Their universities,
health care, ports are among the best in the world.

It is impossible to compare what Singapore has achieved to what all these
four countries had so far achieved. It was actually poor management and
corruption, and nothing more. Everything is done for the vested interest of
the few.

Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines and the Sultanate of Brunei need
good management teams. They would not be able to do this on their own steam.
I would advise that they call on Kuan Yew to show them what good governance
is. Why look East to Japan when it is just next door across the causeway.

WARRANTS OF ARREST FOR IGP -SYED ALBAR & HISHAMUDDIN?

BEST NEWS. BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID. NEXT ON THE LIST: THE UMNO JUDGES.


BREAKING NEWS WARRANTS OF ARREST FOR IGP -SYED ALBAR & HISHAMUDDIN?
October 22, 2009 ·
NO IMPUNITY FOR SOVEREIGN CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
In what may yet turn out to be an unprecedented and boldest of acts of
defiance agaisnt tyranny in Malaysia, a Human Rights group is set to reverse
the fortunes of a much persecuted and abused minority community in Malaysia.

Malaysia's Indian Tamils (joined by Indonesian illegal workers) are
finally to be represented by a leading British Queens Counsel (QC) who has
accepted a brief from an Australian law firm to bring charges against
leading Malaysian political figures for various offences committed against
the complainant communities. The venue and jurisdiction Europe, the United
Kingdom.

Counsel acting for the group has agreed to take on a brief of prosecution
against the current serving Inspector General of Police (Malaysia), his
immediate predecessor in office, Malaysia's former Minister of Home Affairs
(Syed Hamid Albar) and the current incumbent in that position Hishamuddin
Tun Hussein Onn for crimes against humanity, gross violation of Human Rights
in Malaysia (extra judicial killings) and for torture.

A leaked document to GRK now reveals a background paper outlining a
summary of the history of Indian indentured and slave labour (as defined
under international law) from south India into plantations and other labour
intensive industries run by colonial Britain in Malaya.

Interestingly the document identifies a more brutal regime of the
successors to British colonial rule in Malaysia, the Malaysian government.
It also summarises and carefully documents systemic and systematic
oppression by the state against the complainants since independence. The
document is believed to provide the foundation for the basis of claims by
the group.

The leaked document also includes the list of offences the defendants when
charged, will have to answer to which includes;

(a) individual and gang rape (b) torture (c) extra judicial killings (d)
confiscation of property (personal) (e) kidnapping (f) drownings (g) body
snatching (h) forced conversion and other forms of depravation of liberty
(i) torture and kidnapping of children.

Under the new lethal legal doctrine of Justice and Accountability, a
principle that seeks to End Impunity for sovereign offenders responsible
for having committed or having abetted in the commission of criminal and
Human Rights offences, sovereign immunity is stripped away from them under
the rule and the offender will no longer be able to raise the defence of the
'act of a sovereign'.

The current action (if confirmed) would indicate that "the tail has
finally found the muscle and coordinates to wag the proverbial dog" in
Malaysia where Tamils have historically faced systemic and systematic
persecution and marginalisation at the hands of a race based government.

If the prosecution does go ahead, it may well be the case that the 4
individuals named in the suit may be forced into exile in their own homes
within the limited security of the borders of Malaysia. Such a restriction
would mean that they would be unable to travel freely outside the geographic
boundaries of Malaysia.

Further, if warrants are issued these 4 would be joined in infamy to the
ranks of noteriety of other international pariahs like Ehud Barak Defence
Minister of Israel, Presdient Bashir of Sudan, Slobodan Milesovic, Radan
Karejic and Humberto Mejia of Guantemala all of whom have warrants issued
against them for vile and heinous crimes against humanity.

The warrants if issued by a competent court in the UK is likely to
further do irrepairably damage Malaysia's image as a liberal, cosmopolitan,
developing and industrialised democracy. That veneer of respectability it
craved and jelously sought to guard, built up over decades of hard work and
ambition will peel off from the heat that ensues to reveal a tin pot
dictatorship parading as liberals and democrats.

Nothing unfortunately in such circumstances will in the short term be able
to redeem the tarnished image of the coutnry and its people from the social
and political stigma attached to such warrants.
We will keep our readers posted of any further developments in this matter
once we have confirmed the application has actually been lodged.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga in Lesbianic Collaboration?


Beyoncé's collaboration with Lady Gaga on her next video for the single "Video Phone" — while amazing-sounding beyond human comprehension — presents a major problem. How do the divas share the stage as equals? Or more fairly, how does Lady Gaga restrain herself enough so that she is the fame monster that she is yet also takes a supportive role at Beyoncé's side? The collaboration was born out of their mutual respect and love for one another, and now, apparently, Lady Gaga is becoming one with Beyoncé's wardrobe preferences. In the video, she channels Sasha Fierce's style with "a white strapless leotard, matching opera gloves, and long, flowing hair," according to People.

“When I was doing her video with her, she called me, and she said, ‘What do you want to do?’” Gaga revealed in an interview with New York’s Z100 radio station on Tuesday morning. “And I’m like, ‘I don’t want to show up in some frickin’ hair bow and be fashion Gaga in your video.’ I said, ‘I want to do you.’” In the same interview, Gaga said she just wanted to “do my version of Beyoncé, so the whole time I was learning the choreography they were calling me Gee-yoncé.”

But while Gaga scratches Beyoncé's back (or lets her know when her thong is showing through her leotard — however it is that divas express solidarity), Beyoncé could be taking style tips from Gaga, too. Grazia reports that Beyoncé has expressed interest in meeting with one of the hottest up-and-coming designers of the moment, David Koma. Lady Gaga recently wore a Koma creation in the random Internet fashion video she shot for Dazed Digital. So maybe she tipped Beyoncé off to his genius when they were brushing each other's hair one day (or while figuring out how to affix avant-garde nostril zippers to their faces — whatever it is divas do together when they talk about boys).

Lady Gaga the Fame Monster!


The controversial Lady Gaga known for working with hip hop artists Wale, Flo Rida, and Akon, has announced her track listing for the re-release of her album ‘The Fame’ entitled ‘The Fame Monster’ along with information on her collector’s edition art book which includes a lock of Lady Gaga’s hair.

“Bad Romance”
“Alejandro”
“Monster”
“Speechless”
“Dance in the Dark”

“So Happy I Could Die”

Lindsay told to re-invent herself in trip to India

On upcoming India trip, Hindus urge Lindsay to 'reinvent' herself in ashram

Nevada (US), Oct 29 : Hindus have urged Hollywood diva Lindsay Lohan to utilize her upcoming trip to India to 'reinvent' herself by spending some time in ashram (hermitage).

MTV Award winner American actress-singer-model Lindsay Dee Lohan (Mean Girls), 23, who has topped Maxim’s “Hot 100”, is heading to India to make a documentary on child trafficking for BBC Network.

Lohan, who is reportedly excited about this charity project and wants to “make the difference”, reportedly said “… you should use your voice for the right reason…”. Shooting will reportedly be held in Bihar.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that in view of Lohan’s belief in ‘karma’, ashram would help bring Lohan tranquility, spirituality and serenity.

Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, says that ashram is a place of retreat usually used for spiritual development and India is full of them.

Members of English rock band “The Beatles” (Yellow Submarine) spent long periods at a Rishikesh ashram on the Ganges river bank. Musician-actor Ben Lee (The Square) and actress Ione Skye (River’s Edge) reportedly had a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony in an ashram near Chennai in south India in the recent past. Grammy winner American singer-rapper-musician-producer Kanye West has been reportedly planning to spend about a month in Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry to seek spiritual guidance, reassess his life and turn it around.

Generally ashrams are located away from the crowds in forests or other places amidst natural surroundings which are suitable for meditation and spiritual instruction and find mention in Hindu scriptures.

Lohan recently wrote on social networking service ‘twitter’: “i''m all about Karma.. what goes around comes around!”

The Los Angeles gang burglarizes Tisdale and Fox’s homes.

Celebrity teen-sensation Ashley Tisdale and Megan Fox were allegedly burglarized by the same teenager crime ring that have been targeting celebrities, reported People magazine.

It is believed that millions of dollars have been stolen from the properties by the gang since 2008.

Fox, Tisdale and Brian Austin are the latest celebrities to have been victimized by the Los Angeles gang. Previous confirmed victims were Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Audrina Partridge and Rachel Bilson.

Six people have been arrested in connection to the cases.

According to People, the gang members were locating the celebrities by using Hollywood star maps and the internet, and calculated when the homes were empty based on appearance schedules.

The gang is not suspected of burglarizing Kourtney Kardashian's home and stealing over $100,000 worth of items from her house. The robberies happened at around the same time as Partridge's and Lohan's house burglaries, of which 18-year-old Nicholas Prugo has been charged.

Wedding Wednesday {Paper}

On Saturday we hit the six month mark until the wedding! Proper wedding etiquette will tell you that destination weddings call for save the date announcements to be sent out at least 6 months in advance. 

Luckily, I love all things related to wedding invitations so I had a blast coming up with ideas and now that they've been sent I get to share the final product with you.

We came up with the idea of using vintage Mexican postcards . Fun, right? But hard to find. Thank gawd for Amazon and replicas!


I'm thrilled to announce that we decided to work with the uberfabulous Brown Sugar Design for our wedding invitations (more on their amazing work in the weeks to come!). 

Brown Sugar gave us the brilliant idea of having a custom stamp made to simplify the save the date process even more. I couldn't be happier with the final product.


The finishing touch was to put each postcard in a brown envelope tied up with string - it reminded me of old airmail packages and gives the recipients something to open.


The announcements should be hitting mailboxes as I type this post so I guess there's no backing out now. ;) 

In celebration of my love of all things paper I'll be featuring an amazing giveaway later today. Be sure to check back - you won't want to miss it!

In the meantime, be sure to check out Brown Sugar Design for more paper inspiration!

唐朝掌管後宮內務的最高權力中心--尚宮局,統領四房,分別為司珍房、司製房、司膳房及司設房。劉三好與姚金鈴自幼入宮當學婢,二人聰穎機伶,尤以三好品性純良,得司珍阮翠雲及司製鍾雪霞喜愛,爭取收歸門下,三好遂成二人爭鬥禍心。

三好一直緊守亡母遺訓-「做好事、說好話、存好心」,以善行仁心遊走於宮中這個爾虞我詐的地方;反而情同姐妹的金鈴,利慾薰心,為求成妃,不擇手段。縱使三好鍾情棋博士高顯揚,但金鈴知道皇帝李怡最愛是三好,妒意驟生,為保皇妃之位,竟誣告三好擊殺太后,要置三好於死地。但計謀再深,總有算錯的時候;手段再強,亦有疏忽的地方;本劇透過三好與金鈴迥異的人生,帶出只有憑「行善積德」,才是處世待人「至強無敵」之道。

Imperial Household Bureau is responsible for managing and directing all household services to the Emperor and the Imperial family in Tong Dynasty. It is comprised of four departments, namely Jewels, Attire, Food and Furnishings. Lau Sam Ho and Yiu Kam Ling are introduced into the bureau in their tender age and brought up in the disciplines of the palace. The two girls are diligent. Yuen Tsui Wan, Head of the Jewels, and Chung Suet Ha, Head of the Attire, are both very fond of Sam Ho for she is a kind-hearted young girl. Soon, they start fighting for the fellowship of Sam Ho.

Sam Ho always remembers her mother's words left to her before she passed away, that she was told, 'Doing good deeds, Speaking good words, Showing goodwill'. She lives her life of being gracious and kind-hearted in the palace. On the other hand, Kam Ling believes her survival in palace is achieved through cruel and calculating tactics. She cheats and schemes her way to the top and finally becomes the concubine. Though she realizes that Sam Ho has fallen in love with the chess master Ko Hin Yeung, her jealousy still arouses by Sam Ho's attraction to the Emperor Lee Yi. Fearing that she is losing power, she ruthlessly makes up a false allegation against Sam Ho for murdering the Empress and condemns her to death. No matter how clever she is to scheme, things do not go the way she planned. By using a strong comparison of the two distinctive characters, Sam Ho and Kam Ling, the message of the drama is that "benevolence" is the only way to gain final victory.

Once again, Omedetou Misaki-san! ^^

A Night On the Town

In prepping for a near and dear's birthday celebration tomorrow evening, I'm working on the answer to every girl's favorite eternal question. What do I wear?

In recessionary times, it often makes the most economic sense to take some basics out of your closet and reinvent them with an accessory or two.

For example, take staples like a simple tank, slacks, blazer and booties, all in a neutral shade... 


And add some dazzle with a brilliantly jeweled cuff and feathered bag. Suddenly, you're the belle of the ball. 

I'm sure the birthday girl won't mind.

Perfectly Composed

When I'm feeling a little less than put together I find solace in a fabulously styled inspiration space. 






Even if it's the smallest of corners, a well-placed pillow, the just-right light and a few of favorite baubles can make all the difference in the world. 

I hope you find a lovely corner to curl up in sometime today.
