INSTA UPDATES

December 27, 2012

From top, left to right: In front of the Rag & Bone store on Bleeker St in NYC; Trying on a Bettie Paige-esque dress after yoga class. New $20 shoes from DSW; Food trucks in front of the Warner Brothers office in LA. Local psychic; 21lbs of turkey before going into the oven. Bundled up going to yoga class; some new sparkles from J Crew.

I decided to make my Instagram account private recently, after Instagram went on the web. For some reason, I felt like my Instagram life was being. Going private also helps with the ridiculous spam that’s been plaguing the app; I approve human ‘follows’ though, so hit me up at @fazabdulgaffa.

Trust me, I’ve got major updates that I will be announcing soon. ;o)

A DASH IN THE CITY

December 24, 2012

Hello from the East Coast of the big US of A, lovers! We took a drive up to the big city yesterday, and while there was festivities and stunning decor everywhere you look, there were also a ton of people you had to take on [more than usual] as you made your way around the city. We walked about thirty blocks, we ate a whole lot and we came home exhausted, but happy.

Follow me on Instagram at @fazabdulgaffa for more! ;o)

ROUND THE WORLD WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS

November 13, 2012

Considering the fact that I’ve been to LA twice in the past five months, it would come to no surprise if I told you I’m going to be spending Christmas and New Year’s in the US as well – although this time, I’ll be there for a few days short of a month.

What I’m bouncing off the walls to tell you is that American Express is sending me on a shopping spree for Chrissy gifts for their wicked Round the World campaign this festive season!

I’m really excited to be spending winter is Los Angeles, simply because it’s going to be festive but it’s not going to be freezing cold. While snow is pretty, it becomes a royal pain when you have to shovel snow out of your driveway, you can’t wear pretty shoes because you need functional shoes that won’t slip on ice, amongst other things. So while LA will be cold, it wouldn’t be freezing like it would be in the East Coast – which I will also probably be heading to for a few days during my time there.

Here’s the even more awesome news – you too can win a chance to head to both the East and West Coast of the US with American Express’ Round the World campaign, and you don’t have to spend oodles of dollars for a chance! The campaign offers you easy peasy chances to win a Round the World trip:

o Spend S$10 on your American Express® Card to earn 1 chance,

o Spend at ION Orchard, Singapore Airlines or The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands for 2 chances, or

o Apply for a new or supplementary Card for 10 chances

So easy no?

I haven’t told you the best part. Winners of the campaign will get to choose (!!) where they want to go from the following routes:

  • Singapore-Hong Kong-San Francisco-Houston-Moscow-Singapore
  • Singapore-Seoul-San Francisco-Houston-Moscow-Singapore
  • Singapore-Tokyo-Los Angeles-Houston-Moscow-Singapore
  • Singapore-Hong Kong-San Francisco-New York-Frankfurt-Singapore
  • Singapore-Seoul-San Francisco-New York-Frankfurt-Singapore
  • Singapore-Tokyo-Los Angeles-New York-Frankfurt-Singapore

They all look like Singapore Airlines/ Star Alliance routes, so not only are you getting a free trip around the world, you’re also in freakin’ good hands! And you will fly business class. When you fly business class on Singapore Airlines, you’ll wonder henceforth why you’re not made of money so you can fly business all the time. Trust me. It hurts.

On top of all that, when cardmembers make purchases, you will also receive Membership Reward [MR] points if you are enrolled in the MR programme or earn Krisflyer miles if they are holding the American Express Singapore Airlines Credit Cards!

If you don’t have an American Express card, make sure you check out the various rewards programmes they have on their cards here.

As for what I’m going to be buying on my American Express-funded shopping spree? Watch this space, kitty cats. ;o)

IN SG… FOR NOW

November 6, 2012

I heard somewhere that if a woman can remember exactly how much pain she went through during childbirth, she would take more than a heartbeat to think about getting pregnant a second time. I think I’m the same way with long haul flights. During the flight, I’m like, fuckthisshitwhydididothistomyselfhelphelphelpgodhelpplease.

And now, I’m like, oh, 37 days before my next trip. Seriously, Faz?

IT’S HALLOWEEN!

November 1, 2012

I never fail to be amazed at how expansive the US is. While my favourite city in the world, and its neighbouring states in the East Coast have been braving Frankenstorm and the aftermath, we’ve been enjoying sunshine during the day, although the weather does dip to really cold in the nights.

On a separate and chirpier note, J and I celebrate Halloween – and our second anniversary – today!
