Busy week predicted.

Julie is a mothersonofabitch.

For those who do not know of this monster, she is the lecturer for one of my modules. Nabei.

Suddenly bomb us with an elearning assignment that has to be completed by Friday, and the frust exercise already had 122 pages.

The other challenge is to squeeze everything into ONE FUCKING PAGE and submit to her. I don't care lar, I set my font size at 9. LOL. Let her go blind or something. DAMN HER.

Lucky for me, that is completed.

This week + next week is busy to the max:
  1. Xiaolongbao buffet this Thursday (FINALLY)
  2. Bar after buffet (think I won't go. LOL. taxi money is A LOT)
  3. Pohchoon' birthday celebration on Friday
  4. Leonard's baptism service on Friday
  5. OHFUCK. 202 project (ongoing)
  6. I guess Saturday and Sunday will be for mugging since exams are coming and oh 206 editing to be done too.
  7. HH202 debate next Tuesday
  8. COM202 individual project due 8th April 2010
  9. COM206 video assignment due 9th April 2010
  10. COM204 print ad due 9th April 2010
chicken poo poo.

I will miss COM208 lectures and tutorials once this semester ends. I think I really like communication research and today is the last day for declaring my concentration.

But I will put broadcast as my first choice first and then put communication research as a second choice. That way I still can get my broadcast modules prioritised to me. Next year, I will change concentration! Must see 208 results first! =)

Hell week is over. AMEN.

As reflected on the title, the infamous hell-week is over. Lecturers are crazy, they seem to have telepathy on what day assignments should be handed in. EVERYTHING ON 26TH MARCH. I pity those people with GV11, COM204 and COM208 this semester, they have 3 due on the same day! I will die if that happened to me.

However I cannot deny that I have rocking groupmates who are willing to go all out to get a good grade!

COM208: Jo, Ron and Leonard
THANKS FOR BEING SO NICE AND WILLING TO STAY TILL THE WEE HOURS. Although we met with a WHOLE LOT of problems but luckily we discovered these problems early so we can rectify them as soon as possible. And I realise I don't really handle immense stress very well, so thanks for being very very accomodating! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

COM204: Darius, Wenting, Huanyu and special thanks to WANG
Seriously, I didn't know I will be in a group with these guys. But I'm glad I was in the same group with them because we have rocking attitude! =) Also, thanks to WANG because the brochure turned out VERY CHIO! WANG, you are a fucking genius! =)

Next up will be COM206 video assignment, COM202 don't-know-what-shit and HH202 debate! =)

Really sorry to Ron, Chay and Kok. Cause I was really sick and I can't go and shoot part 1 of the video today. Will be there for part 2! I WILL DO ALL THE SAIKANG! As Ron said I am the executive producer - meaning I do all the saikang stuff. HAHAHAHA.

Onto the next topic of deep deep infatuation. I really want these stuff as of now:

Weisberger shoe set. Mom promised to get this for me for Good Friday gift! =)


Silkygirl's new mascara. I have good experiences with all their mascaras, so I cannot wait to try this! 14.90, but I think they are having a promotion now. Shall roam Singapore for this because in BPP and Lot One, these are sold out!


AND OF COURSE, how can I not have another Maybelline mascara? =) Oh, I heard the vibrating mascara from Maybelline is coming to hit Singapore. I have one but the battery died. HAHA. Another reason to stock up again!

The theme for week 11 was "Song for Viola" which simply meant our FOC shirt. HAHA.


I took off the waist belt in the end because I was having a really bad headache, as can be seen from super forced smile in this photo. HAHA.

I look quite thin in this photo. ARGH HOW COME IN REALITY NOT THIN LE! chicken poo poo.


I cleaned my make-up cabinet yesterday because it was getting really really messy. Here's the tidy cabinet now!

First tier: most of my make-up and nail stuff here.


Second tier: eye products and brushes. Boxes at the back are for keeping back-up items like facial cleansers, makeup removers, etc etc.


Third tier: makeup palettes (some in hall, am going to bring them back next week) and hair stuff.


I also cleaned the bedside table, here's the after product. clean clean clean! =)
I realise I have a lot of moisturisers. LOL. I must use more!


Eye look for Song for Viola day. I forgot to take a photo of my blue-green shadow combo for Tuesday. GAH. I think I have it somewhere in Photo Booth. wait I upload again...

Ok here's the blue-green combo. Can't really see because I used photobooth -___- AIYAH!


But I was inspired by my top! =)


Some haul items this week!

SAMSUNG 320GB hard drive. Thanks mao for helping me get it from IT Fair 2 weeks ago! Super life-saver because I need a back-up hard drive for my macbook and it was getting really slow because of the number of photos in it. 4000 over photos transferred and my macbook is like NEW like that! =)


L'oreal Beauty Sale! I went with mao and Lily and her friend came to look for us at a later timing. Quite disappointing but that didn't stop me from spending 121 bucks. LOL.


L'oreal hair dyes - 2 for 10 bucks (i'm damn happy because lighter colours were available!)
L'oreal leave-in treatment for damaged hair - 2 for 10


Garnier bodyfit moisturiser - 2 for 15 (400ml each. shiok!)
L'oreal Pure Zone moisturiser - 2 for 10 (my trusted moisturiser. always going back to this)
Garnier deodorant - 2 for 6


L'oreal truematch make-up base - 10
Maybelline ANGELFIT foundation + refill - 15 (best foundation EVER)
L'oreal make-up remover - 10
L'oreal gel eyeliner, mineral eyeshadow, mineral eyeliner, 2 glitter liners - 5 for 25 (really a steal, especially the gel eyeliner. ZOMG)
Maybelline liquid liner and concealer stick - 2 for 10


Honestly speaking, I just grabbed these liners because so many *ahem* foreign workers were shoving me around. (CB). So I didn't really noticed the colours. LUCKILY I grabbed 2 of different colours for the L'oreal liners.


Love mineral eyeshadows! =) By the way, the mineral eyeliner is not a favourable option for a super strong eyeliner look because it's quite sheer. However, it's damn good for setting liquid or gel eyeliners so that when curling your lashes, the eyeliner won't stick to the eyelash curler!
VEH GOOD!



Swatch without flash.

In this order:
L'oreal gel liner
Maybelline concealer stick
maybelline liner
L'oreal glimmer liner in Brown Crystals
L'oreal glimmer liner in Kaki Crystals
L'oreal mineral liner
L'oreal mineral eyeshadow in 04 Nude Crystal (very shimmery)


Swatch with flash.


I also got myself some edm stuff! =) Seriously addicted to edm stuff.
these 2 for 8 bucks!


Some apparels that I got. Did I say that I got unopened condoms as free gift from a seller? HAHAHHAHHAHAHAA. I threw them away though.

Cotton On chiffon top - 6 bucks (for checkered day next week! weeee!)


Bossine BN denim jacket - 9 bucks from Ebay


Zebra top - 8 bucks


Cotton on cropped top - 8 bucks


No matter how busy, life in university is still very very fulfilling!

Will have a lot of posts this week on reviews and stuff. =) i realise I cannot forget my blog because there are people really interested in my reviews. HAHA.


he should be burned.

Next victim: my brother - his own flesh and blood.

He's driving and in a hot temper. No idea why. And then, he started spewing FUCK out of his bloody mouth and started beating my brother in the car. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY! kaninabuchaocheebai.

My brother was crying like a mad dog on the phone when he "reported" to my mother.

Seriously, this man needs to be burned NOW!

GAH!

One day I will just take a knife and stab him! eh no, I will get jailed. AIYAH! Next time, I will earn big big money, and buy house for my mom, AND NOT LET HIM IN Restraining order or something like that. IDIOT!

i will admit it.

i'm officially depressed.

maybe people befriend just for the sake of making me happy.
loser-ish to the max.


screwed up

So so many things to worry about. It's like a downpour. Once you get out of shelter to get to the next shelter, you will inevitably get drenched everywhere.

Projects aside, there are some things bothering me.

Starting with minor stuff:

I slept quite fitfully on Monday because I heard this weird knocking sound on the wall next to my bed. It went on for quite some time, and I was frozen to my bed because I was trying to decipher what the hell the sound was. However, when I moved, the knocking stopped. My friends said maybe my neighbour was making out or whatever, but the problem is the sound is not a one-hand-bang-on-the-wall kind! it's more of using one finger knuckle to knock against the wall continuously. AIYOH. So I got really paranoid. And yesterday Jo went out for her GV11 meeting, and Ron, Leonard and I were left in the room doing out 208 group project, and thankfully Ron stayed till 4 plus I think. cause I told him I am damn worried about sleeping alone especially after stupid noises on the wall. Jo came back at 4 plus, and then I got into a deep sleep. THANK YOU PAPA LOH!

The next thing on my mind is more nerve-wrecking. Right after the recess week, we had a new lecturer for one of our core modules and that day, everyone was being really unforgiving, commenting on his very tight pants and his supposedly very huge "package", and of course facebook was a mess that day. Who ask me to be so clever to update my status regarding the bulge and forgetting that I have the other lecturer as a friend. DIE LOR. Now this lecturer stopped wearing his very tight pants, and he noticeably looks much better than before. (See! it's a good thing what! he became more handsome le!) The thing that I'm most afraid of is that the other lecturer saw my status (which is very vague by the way) AND THE RESPONSES and he told him about the status. CHAM LAR! Although I know my lecturers will not be so sophomoric as to mix personal and work issues together, I'm rather embarrassed of self when I see this lecturer. I cannot help not feeling guilty although I don't deny I helped in making him look better. LOL.

Then yesterday night, I was waiting for the bus that heads to my hall and he crossed the road and took the exact same bus. HAIYOH! super paiseh. I was avoiding like crazy. Maybe it's a one-sided guilt thing but WHEN YOU MESS UP, YOU WILL FEEL GUILTY NEVERTHELESS CAN!

Mano said that the lecturer was better-looking than the other lecturer, and after scrutinising him after I finished the test too quickly yesterday, I must admit that yes, he is actually more handsome!

CHAM!

i still cannot get rid of the guilt.
AIYAH! I don't want to update status-es liao lar! SO IRRITATING!

posting frenzy



Today is a roller-coaster day. aiyoh.
THIS SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD LOR!

that stupid mao introduced to me one. GAH!

people are so dense

Doesn't mean that I don't study the way you expect me to means my grades are not justifiable.

Admit it,
you are just bitter that I have better grades so far.

Seriously, people should stop giving personal prep-talk on what they think is the correct method of studying. Everyone is different.

I'm very tired, but I'm not complaining because it makes my life fulfilling.
Heavy workload means I'm actually doing something and not slacking.

That's something good what.

Aiyah, I don't know where this post is going to. I'm just quite pissed off by the fact that people think I should not be scoring my grades and they think my grades are not a reflection of my intelligence.

Seriously, fuck off and die.

scrutinise.

It's week 11 of semester 2.
Time is passing so fast when you are under so much stress and when you are having fun at the same time.

Things that I completed:
  1. HH202 Essay. 1915 words okay! 13 pages long!
  2. COM204 meeting - we have finalised everything. Skype session with Susan Amy next.
Things that need to be noted:
  1. COM208 test on Tuesday so mug hard on Monday.
  2. COM208 group meeting for assignment 2: Tuesday night.
  3. COM204 meeting on Wednesday night.
  4. COM208 meeting with Tutu probably Wednesday afternoon or so.
  5. COM202 meeting on Thursday before 202 tutorial.
  6. COM208 assignment due Friday.
  7. COM204 assignment due Friday before 6pm.
  8. Loreal Beauty Sale on Friday - chiong to expo after 206 tutorial.
WALAO.

Things I'm waiting from the mailbox:
  1. Dark denim jacket
  2. edm foundation + blush
  3. Valleygirl jacket
  4. Zebra fringe top
  5. Cotton On cropped top
  6. Cotton On chiffon top
An extremely busy week 11 indeed.
Looking forward to Friday though. VERY LOOKING FORWARD!

Shall sleep.

funny

My mom is deciding on whether or not to quite her job because she cannot stand her boss (after tolerating for 15 over years).

She is scouring classified ads to look for other jobs and she even joked with my sister that she will work as a 7-11 cashier.

I don't think it's funny.
Useless man in house, and now mom wants to quit her job.

Not funny can.

Week 10 Just Like That

One great thing this week was my grandmother and grandfather coming to visit the family! Although this meant that I have to lug my heavy laptop home everyday, it's worth every single minute.

I can proudly say that the person I love the most in this entire entire world is my grandmother.

Being home means having home-cooked dinner.=) And for 2 days, I decided to "bento" previous nights' dinners! YUM!


The week started with a rather tiring attempt to have a surprise birthday celebration for Miss Peeping Goh. HAHA. But it went well and she likes her Fujifilm Instax!


The theme for the week was red. I think the theme is more appropriate to be associated with whatever is happening in Thailand right now rather than Chinese New Year which was eons ago. I kind of played cheat. HAHA. At least I appeared in red heels lor!



Our Thailand-inspired pose. I have no idea what the eff I was doing.


Wednesday nights have suddenly become our "official" Carl's Jr nights. AND THEY HAD CHILLI CHEESE FRIES! To make my meal less sinful, I low-carbed my burger. HAHA. When you low-carb a burger, your eating experience becomes extremely messy. I think I don't want to have Carl's Jr next week. Must constantly remind Wang that we must be thinner than She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-Because-She-Smells-Funky!


We were filming for our 206 final assignment just this morning. Javior was the 宅男 and Huiling was the 宅女!We had a lot of fun in the rain!!


Our director, Miss Peeping Goh.


Our beloved actors. We owe them both Canteen 14-Western Food vouchers. HAHAHAHAHA.


This morning, I also had a sudden revelation. I have 2 edm foundations that were either too dark for me or a tad too light. SO, I mixed them both, and today was the day that I have a perfect-coloured skin. Matching to the max!

The mixture in the cap is my actual skin colour! I think I am a genius. LOL.


I bought 3 ELF eyeshadow quads for $1.70 each on Ebay. I am quite fond of ELF eyeshadow quads because they are pigmented and they last quite long with the accompaniment of ELF Eyelid Primer.

I bought Luxe, Nouveau Neutrals and Matte Mauve.


Swatch of LUXE. My favourite quad of the bunch. Super blendable and the colour on the most left makes a fantastic highlight colour.


Swatch of MATTE MAUVE. I am quite on the fence with this quad because the pigmentation is not as impressive as the others. I guess it'e because all the colours in this quad are matte and so some degree of pigmentation is sacrificed. However, it's good for those days where you just want a little bit of colour on your lid with heavy eyeliner; shimmer does not work because it will overpower the eyeliner.


Swatch of NOUVEAU NEUTRAL. I'm quite intrigued by the moss-green colour. Cannot wait to mix it with some jet black shadow to create an alternative smoky-rock eye look.


I also bought 4 EDM Blush samples.


Swatches in the order of NickNack, Best Friend, Apple and Email Me.

Without flash and under yellow lighting.


I must say that I'm a fan of edm blushes. Any colour will for me. =) The only tip I have for those who are just starting out on mineral blushes is to not apply cream/liquid blushes beforehand as a base because when you apply the mineral blush using your brush, it will apply patchy and it will be quite difficult to blend. Although without a base your blush will fade along the way, you can always reapply! Better to be more troublesome than to walk around with patchy cheeks!

Out of curiosity, I bought this Tony Moly Tea Tree Pure Scrub Foam Wash off sgbeauty when it was selling for 5 bucks. I love the scent of tea tree oil (strange, i know) so this cleanser is a pleasant to use. Whether it works or not, that will take time. HAHA.


Lastly, a cropped top from Cotton On. 10 bucks. This is the pattern. Damn lazy to find a hanger. HAHAHAHA.


I have a wishlist that I wish to complete by May:
  1. SilkyGirl new mascara..some double extend thingy.
  2. Maybelline Magnum mascara.
  3. SK2 facial cleanser.
  4. A pair of boots from New Look. (saw some chio ones in Seventeen and CLEO)
This is kind of a cheery post. But I had the biggest break in composure last night. I cried to sleep in hall, which is a first. All because of the history essay. This morning, my lecturer replied my mail and I'm very relieved to say that I need not redo the essay. This also meant that I wasted my tears yesterday night. Dang.

Today is meant to be a rest day. I shall continue the essay tomorrow. Oh as well as 208 revision. I WILL PERSEVERE!

Datelines are looming but I always survive. So why not this time, right? I should calm down more. Breathe and be more zen.
