Get your brands right

I guess at some point of time, everyone, male or female, rich or poor, intelligent or no-so-smart, has to have a lesson on pronouncing famous brands. You deserve to know.

Burberry: Bur-bur-ree. Not Bur-berry. Not Bal-berry.

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Yay-ger Ler-Koot. Not Jagger-Ler-Cult.

Missoni: Miss-own-ee

Longchamp: Long-shum. Not Long-Champ.

Christian Louboutin: Christian Loo-boo-tahn. They make awesome stilettos, so I should start getting it right.

Bulgari: Ball-garh-ree

Agnes B.: Arg-nias Bay. Not Agnes Bee. Who the hell is Agnes Bee?

Louis Vuitton: Loo-ee Vo-e-ton.

Loewe: Low-ev-ay.

Givenchy: Ghee-von-shee

Tag Heuer: Tag Hoy-er

Versace: Ver-sawh-chee

Balenciaga: Bah-len-siah-gah

Hermes: Air-mez

Moschino: Mos-kee-no.

... which is exactly why I'd rather stick to American brands. Happy correcting your friends. :)

Amused

Have you seen the ugliest supercar in the world?

This is it.

The Mitsuoka Orochi.

Was heading back from lunch at Far East during a heavy downpour when I spotted one of these speeding down Scotts Road. Just as I was exclaiming in an extraordinarily amused tone about how low the car was to the road, Daryl had to crack everyone up.

"Wah if Orchard Road flood ah, the car will become a submarine."
