Gotcha! Caught in the act.. Of drinking dark mocha frappp..

at starbucks resting our legs. Haha. First time i'm blogging on the go! Whee! :P

whee! mu sent me a number of pictures to look at the poses i could use for the shoot. they are nnnnnice!
take a look:

hope i can find a backdrop that's similar to the pictures. the backdrop's gorgeous!

oh ya, bought the clarins shaping face lift yesterday! yay! seriously, it's been only 2 days and i can see results already. worth the money! haha.
i finally got it.

i also bought M.A.C's contour palette, which i love to the core. can't wait to use for the photoshoot!


also bought quite a few more M.A.C products. and yay i finally got my 6 empty M.A.C containers to exchange for a free lipstick! actually wanted to get the limited edition lippie but it was just sold out. sad. nonetheless i got a nice colour, could've gotten red but i didn't cos i think can just use my existing red to blend with other colours. the lipsticks are all sooooo nice i wish i had the entire collection. wahaha.


last but not least, i painted my nails today. got the nail polish from The Face Shop. hope to do nails for the shoot as well since not really going to do much hairstyling. this is the result of my crazy idea:

my cam didn't catch the exact colour. it's more fuschia than it looks haha. my first time trying to do gradient nail colours. not very good but not bad for a first timer. heh.

dunno why, i'm just so lazy to blog nowadays. really regret not getting a hp that can blog on the go. that'll be interesting. anyway, i recently did makeup for a charity concert. as it was a charity concert, i didn't get paid, but just took it as an experience and i got portfolio photos. heh. but they were taken by my digi cam and with my lousy skills haha. and the photos can't really see the makeup! should've taken superrrr closeup. sad.

the charity concert was actually a singing performance by hosanna music ministry for the montfort brothers. kind of like God's arrangement that the makup artist is also catholic, no? anyway auyong msged and said they were urgently looking for makeup artists, and since i was free.. the concert goes on for 2 days and plus the full dress rehearsal so it's really a short stunt kinda thing. fun for me because i love putting makeup for people and making them look good haha. and the girls were a nice sweet bunch, and trusted me to put "unknown" (to most of them la) stuff on their faces LOL. there were guys too but i forgot to take pictures.. but their makeup is very simple so it doesn't really matter also. it's quite hectic to do girls 'cos their makeup's all different, for guys jus slap on foundation, fill the brows and some bronze blusher and they're good to go.

these are the 6 ladies whom i was "in-charge" of:














maybe next year i'll do it again..

FINALLY! exams are over! and i just came back from malaysia on the 12th. attended nicholas's 2nd brother's wedding, one at KL, the other back at sitiawan. quite busy actually, did hair and makeup for his mom and sort of became the stylist also. lol. i can do hair! haha. too bad the pictures are with the oldest brother now. will get from him and maybe add to my portfolio?? i was supposed to do makup for the bride at the sitiawan banquet, but last minute they went to a bridal shop so i didn't need to do. it would have been a good experience for me but i've never done it and well, wedding's a once-in-a-lifetime thing so if i don't do it nicely it would've been a bad memory for the bride.. :( but it would be really nice to have a bridal picture for my portfolio hor? talking about makeup, i'm going to do another photoshoot for my portfolio with mu! better start putting all my ideas unto paper first and then we can confirm all the details. then again, i need to start looking for a job first. that's on the top of my to-do list.

anyway, bought quite a lot of foodstuff back from malaysia. the best is the xiang bing (fragrant biscuit) or what the cantonese will call heong peyng(?). it's damn good! and the saddest part is i only bought one pack.. argh. should've bought like at least 3! now i know what to buy home the next time i go. my mom loves it by the way. haha.

i've mostly been shopping ever since i came back from malaysia 'cause i didn't buy a single piece of clothing there! the only thing i bought was food. sad. the topshop over there is like even more expensive when u convert the RM into SGD. on monday i went to chinatown and vivocity with dith and mu to shop. mostly me shopping of course. >_< bought the high-waisted pencil skirt i wanted! also bought a top at the thai fair at vivo. last day so the stuff were going cheaper, but not much stock left. still not enough shopping for me. feel like getting a branded working bag, but budget is tight. :| went town today (tuesday is boyfriend day :)) but didn't see anything nice. should've gone to taka's bag department.

i watched kungfu panda today! damn funny! laughed through almost the entire movie.. i swear to get the dvd. it's definitely a keeper. for those who haven't watched it, please go watch! you don't know what you're missin'!

haven't posted in quite a while 'cos exams have begun and i don't have the mood to blog already.. will update once my papers are over :P 2 more to go! go go go!

happy birthday to me... :P


P.S. anybody know of an effective slimming gel for the body? need to slim those armssss...

hey peipei this is for you! haha. almost forgot about it..




this is us at wala wala's after the screening of dith's fyp, Sleep of the Guiltless at singapore art museum. the band is really good and the whisky dry is very smooth. frozen lime magarita is nice as well :P will definitely go there to chill again after exams. there's a plus of course, food just opposite! breko's tic tac toe fries are very yummy :) if not, walk down to nydc or crystal jade. can't remember if it's open 24 hours or until late though. O_o

heard from grace that she's using clarin's shaping face lift.. i want! desperately need to get rid of my double chin first before anything else. but, it's almost $94! :( it's on my wish list for now..



i bought the bioessence face lifting cream to try but it only tones like temporarily.. the face does slim by like 0.1 or 0.2cm after 10 minutes (if you massage properly) but for maybe less than half the day? definitely not permanent for me. or maybe i'm too impatient to see results? however, there's a redeeming quality: good moisturiser for the neck. the neck shows your real age if you don't apply anything so even if u've got a face wrinkle free but you neglect to care for your neck, beware... saggy and wrinkly neck... haha.

yay! i collected my marc jacobs stam quilted bag on sunday, and guess what! there're marc jacob labels on the bag! on the outside there was marc jacobs paper tag, inside the bag there's a metal label, the clasps are carved with marc jacob.. and i thought it would only be a marc jacobs inspired bag.






anyway, i spree-ed this bag for $48 nett. it's cheaper than getting from B.O.W at far east. lol. and i can't wait for my forever21 dress to arrive! spree-er is going to the post office today :) and i ordered a few clothes from zipia.. couldn't help it! i love the tuxedo-lapels jacket. found a very similar one at mango and guess how much it is? $199!!! a freakin' 200 bucks. zipia's jacket is only USD52. convert to SGD plus shipping, it's not even 100 bucks. wheeee. if you're tempted, check out their webbie: www.zipia.net (if you wanna see the closeups you need an account, or borrow someone's account, you can find it here at the spree-er's blog: vainypotty)

Tadaaaah! i got the LG Viewty and i'm in lurrrve with it! the 5MP camera is good and u can do a lot of things with this phone! i love the touch screen function and when i sms, i can choose between normal keypad, handwriting screen or the qwerty keyboard. love the keyboard to death. best of all, this phone is actually very user friendly. i think like many people, i used to think LG is not very good, but the touch screen phones really changes your impression of the brand. i bet they did a lot of R&D. and so, i should be obsessed with my phone for the next dunno how many days or weeks before i get used to this superb thing. lol.

found another phone! this is the LG Viewty. fully touch screen, with 5MP camera, 3.5G, internal memory is 100MB and supports up to 2GB, etc. and it's on promotion at only $198 at singtel shops with free 1GB micro sd! i'm getting the phone tomorrow so it'll be either the Samsung i780 or this..

i think i'll be dreaming of phones tonight..

i think i might be getting this phone, though i won't be able to fully utilise its functions. nice or not?

Sigh! it's been a while. trying to study for the past few weeks. sometimes i think, what the hell am i studying for.. a paper that secures a certain wage? society sucks. i'm like forced to do something i don't like but have to deal with. BAHHH. can't i just go into makeup? i don't like being cooped up in a cubicle for 8 hours. doing routine work. but what else is there to do man.. no money = can't survive. society is materialistic. money revolves around almost everything. and the more i study the more i get frustrated. am i getting sick in the head?

dith's fyp is screening next saturday at the singapore art museum, and i'm going, even though i'm supposed to be mugging. i'll just make sure i study harder in the day :( here's the poster:



cool huh.. it's a profile of jerry hoh btw, who plays M in the movie.
and this is the invite:


i hope the makeup looks ok on the big screen.. :x

Anyway, i'm damn happy that i'm collecting the makeup pay for the fyp tomorrow (strictly speaking, later today) :D yay! and we will hear everyone in singapore cheer madly on the 30th april cos that's when everybody gets the $150 of the dividend growth, generously donated by our singapore government! whee! whoohoo! and we'll cheer again on the 1st july when we get out gst offset package. haha. we are soooo fortunate and ain't i glad i know it.

arghhh. i feel tired and crappy. whenever i take a break from studying, i play sudoku. am i bonkers or what? i actually find it damn fun. haha. should've bought that $5 sudoku book from that Plaza Sing $5-a-book sale thingy.. darn.

nicholas spoiled the surprise.. he was gonna buy me a hp for my birthday but he spilled the beans. haha.. oh well, it's still very sweet of him :) the problem is, i don't know what hp to buy! i'd been dying to get that motorola lux edition but now that i think about it, i wanna get a good camera phone. an iphone sounds really good but too ex. sony erricson? no nice design. nokia? n series too bulky. the express music one so ugly. moto? i could get the one similar to what i have now, but the camera isn't very good. samsung? maybe. LG? errrrr.... never mind. hrrrmphhh.

the southern floral dress that i-wanted-to-get-but-was-oos is now back in stock! can't believe it. i wanna get it! but need to find an open forever21 spree with cheap exchange rates. :(

study study study! T_T

since it was our 4th year here there's nothing much to do except take goofy pictures. haha.. but this year is packed with people! and i didn't really like that. prefer the serene and quiet sentosa like last year.. but anyway, it's prolly the last year we're celebrating our anniversary here. getting kinda bored. XP







A chameleon in my track. it was bright green and orange when it jumped out of the flowers but i couldn't get the shot of it in time :(
