one of those days

I sometimes just feel really sad about myself.

The level of independence that I have is so high it's almost alarming.

Normally, females tend to need help when they are sad, when they are pms-ing, when they are having really bad cramps, when they are sick, when they are just plain emotional. However, I just go through all this courageously alone.

Want to cry also cry alone under the blanket.

WHY AM I SO LONER!

)(*^&%$#Q$%$^%&^(&)*(_

the morning after

Buses are running again.

Cleaning aunties are here already.

I have just spent another night in WKWSCI.

It's a cold, cold night and I dreamt that we got chased by zombies. How apt.

Shall wait for Yinghui to wake up before we go and wash up. Going to the toilet alone at this timing is foolish.

More youtube.

NEW HAIR COLOUR AGAIN! :D

From this....... (ahlian max)...

TO THIS!!

And i cut my fringe too. So now I have bangs! WOOHOO! I look like xiao mei mei already. This is totally my day man. :D

The hair colour's name is SAKURA, from L'oreal I think, I threw away the box already! =/

I AM SO LOVING MY NEW HAIR.

PERMANENT COLOUR ALREADY!

*OFF TO MORE PHOTO-BOOTHING. WEEEEEEE*

WKWSCI DND 2010 + HAUL

We had our annual Dinner and Dance on 17th September 2010. I gotta admit, this DnD was much better than the previous one. I think it's all because of the location. A location like a boat is much more prestigious, but it restricted the flow of the events, and some of us got seasick. This time, everyone was highly entertained, and kudos to the DnD main committee for organising such an awesome and successful DnD for all of us! :D

Camwhoring with the G11 is my entertainment of the night. Though the Jagerbombers kept me entertained with their siao-si-bei loud cheers. The food was really good also! Usually, I will just eat my food and ignore the games, but this time, I will really put down my plates and watch whatever games the contestants are playing. Kudos to Marcus Yew and Kimberley for being such awesome hosts!

And, this is Marcus Yew. *GLEE*

He has awesomely flexible lips, I tell you. :D

Me with the roomie and Marcus Yew! (The reason why I keep calling him Marcus Yew is because there's another Marcus in our course, but he is in USA doing his exchange now! Maybe I should call Marcus Yew Cooper from now on)

THE AWESOME BACKDROP FOR ALL OF US CAMWHORES TO TAKE PHOTOS! SIAO CHIO CAN! :D

RR stands for Riviera Rouge, which was the theme of the night! :D

Moi with slut Wang, the roomie and the president of the DnD 2010 committee, Joel!

halo Willy Beh!

Yinghui, moi, slut Wang and the roomie. And mark cheng don't know doing what at the back! :)

We kept trying our "smizing" poses and Jo kept saying that she looked sleepy instead of fabulous. HAHAHA.

These 2 are bigger camwhores than me. They see cameras, they pose.

There, there. My partner for Sweden exchange. (cedrick is missing. LOL) SLUT TTM!

Clara and Darius! Love what Clara was wearing that night! Darius looked like someone out of Winter Sonata. ROFL.

Clara, moi, December (the brave soul) and Claire!

Claire!! This girl looks demure but she spews more vulgarities than a regular guy. BUT ALL OF US STILL LOVE HER BECAUSE SHE SHOOO CUTEEEE.

Michael and Cynthia - Jagerbomb pageant representatives. Both won Mr and Miss Popularity consecutively because of the magical fingers of the Jagerbomb people. (They spent their entire night creating fake accounts to vote for their peeps on funkygrad. HAHAHAHA. us old birds just stood back and kept refreshing the page and chuckled)

Jinghao, moi, Kim and BFF Ronald.

THE AWESOME HOSTS! Cooper and Kimberley! :D

SO CHIO RIGHT. OHGOSH.

Yinghui, the roomie and Jocelyn in Ronald's car!

We were bored waiting for Ronald, so we just camwhored lar, what else to do?

And now the HAUL part! :D I have successfully completed my 1-month makeup ban, and am off to buy more makeup! HAHAHAHA.

looks like an ordinary watch.

BUT THIS IS A RING! SO CHIO and so practical. 4 bucks from some souvenir shop at Woodlands MRT.

A pair of beaded sandals from Mimosa at Causeway Point. They were having a really huge sale and I got this at 50% off! :D

A pair of brown boots from eBay for 20 bucks. I gotta thank Yinghui because she was the one that met up with the seller! :D

So awesome for 20 bucks, because it's actually padded with cotton at the sides. So they are damn comfortable to walk in!

AND I WENT TO L'OREAL BEAUTY SALE with Mark Cheng and Huiling! :D

Nothing much this time round though. Kind of disappointed, but we still got ourselves some awesome stuff!

Lacey makeup pouch for 2 bucks. Intending to use it as a pencilcase. (I'm still using the NTU Open House one. FAIL)

White tote bag for 5 bags - matchy matchy with Huiling!

L'oreal Night Serum - 10 bucks

Maybelline mascara - 15 bucks

Maybelline makeup removers - 2 for 10 bucks

L'oreal hair masks - 2 for 12 bucks

L'oreal body exfoliator - 8 bucks

And these Keratase goodies at 20 for 20 bucks! I shared with Mark and Huiling.

Also went to Daiso this week just to see see look look, and I saw a new foundation and some really-hard-to-get-cause-always-sold-out concealer. So I grabbed them both!

I tried to move over to wordpress, but it was too much of a hassle. I LOVE BLOGSPOT!

WOOOHOOOOO

I'm ready to go to Stockholm for my exchange! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

So i'm going to be enrolled in KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and cannot wait to go! (the planning sucks though. =/)

The school looks damn awesomeeeeeeeeeee.

I WANT THIS SEMESTER TO BE OVER ASAP SO THAT I CAN GO FOR EXCHANGE NOW!

life's good in a weird way

I have given up on both.

One's too far to reach.

One has a sexual orientation that I question strongly.

Now that my mind is one-directional towards my goal of a better GPA, I find myself caught in a situation of a blessing in disguise. Maybe I'm not supposed to have these distractions at all!

Even better...

NO MORE CODING FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER! YAY to chanhuiling and I. :D

competition?

It's not very nice when you send out a mass sms, and the person that you most expect to get a reply did not reply you. Makes you think where you stand in his/her ladder of friendship.

Another thing that I wish to mention is just a pet peeve.

I hate it when people go "oh you are talking about this? I know! You see, blah blah blah blah" and then he/she goes into rampant blabbering about whatever he/she has read in the textbook, etc.

Thanks for the info, but no thanks. If that's an assurance that you know your stuff, then you are not getting it from me. Some people will go "wa you know so many things/you did your readings" or just say wow, but I will just give you my black face, or perhaps if you are lucky, some eyeball rolling as well.

This behaviour is justifiable though when the individual rarely reads or is perceived as a student who doesn't read any reading materials. When valuable information comes out from this person, the situation changes. You are genuinely in awe and you appreciate the fact that the person is trying his/her hardest to catch up with whatever's on hand.

Not many people will say it out loud, but I'm sure this is a pet peeve shared by many others.

It just gives the shut-the-fuck-up vibe.

I have thought of many reasons of why certain people have this irksome behaviour:

1. They are unsure what they are reading are relevant. And so, when they hear someone else mention a slightest bit, they ramble on in relief.
2. They are trying to show off. Whoever does this for this reason can fuck off and die.
3. They are trying to scare the people around them. Perhaps the use of the words "feel threatened" is more appropriate here. By superfluously talking non-stop, they want to threaten those around them that "hey, I have done my readings, have you?", complete with an irritable smirk and that omgawd-slap-your-face glare.
4. They are just ramblers. These people are forgiven. But I will definitely know if the person is just talking to herself or just talking away with no special meaning behind it. So this reason is kind of defunct.

So ya, when you see me roll my eyes after your excessive yet unnecessary speech, you know i'm referring to you.

love the way they line up.

Coding has been a bitch, but I managed to complete 18 dvds already. 7 more to go and I'm off to some hardcore data-entry nightmare.

School will start officially next week, and to tell you the truth, I'm quite excited to study and analyse all my materials. It has been long since I have this drive to mug, and guess it's time to channel my motivation to reality!

Blogging has consisted of more and more haul posts, which I'm rather sorry for. I used to have accounts that I encounter with my friends etc, and now they are mostly ignored. (The posts, not the friends!)

Oh well, it's all because of laziness. HAHA.

Moving on to the hauling...

I bought some earrings/studs off Gmarket and each was less than a dollar. I can't remember the exact prices.

And because I bought more than 5, I received a pair of rose studs for free, as well as a tea tree lotion.

So whimsical. When I saw this, I knew I had to get it!

The bow-pearl studs is my favourite pair amongst all. Elegant yet not ahjumma-ish. :D

MY REALLY HUGE ELF HAUL is here after a long 3-week wait. And so, this was purchased before my makeup ban. hoho.

In total, I bought 3 bronzers, 4 all-over sticks, 4 eyeshadow palettes, a shimmer eyeliner from the regular line and a bronzer from the studio line.

First off, is the Cool Bronzer from the Studio Line. I already have the Warm Bronzer, and I love the pigmentation so much that I have to get this other bronzer.

I love how there's a pink component to this bronzer. When I mix them all, the colour seems less jarring, unlike the 2 really brown ones that you see on the palette.

Since I'm not that tanned, the sligthest brown will show up on my cheeks, and so this pink helps to tone things down.

I also got 3 Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Sun Kissed, Matte Bronze and Luminance (names are in order).

Sun Kissed has got to be my favourite! Subtle shimmers amidst the gorgeous taupey-brown colour. I bought matte bronze for photoshoot purposes. More often than not, I was required to create a deep contoured look on the model, but my current bronzers are all really sheer. This shade should do the job! And Luminance is great for days when I want really little amount of gunk on my face.

4 All Over Colour Sticks in Pink Lemonade, Toasted, Lilac Petal and Golden Peach. I bought these just to complete my collection of All Over Colout Sticks. They are really really a darling to use. :D

4 Brightening Eye Colours in Ethereal, Glam, Hazy Hazel and Rocker.

elf eyeshadows are incredibly pigmented considering how cheap these were. All elf regular items are US$1 each, while the studio line costs US$3 each.

So cheap, yet so good, and erm made in China. Nothing wrong with loving the tiongs once in a while heh?

First up is Ethereal.

Such a pretty palette for days when you embrace neutrality. Such beautiful warm colours!

Up next is GLAM. The photo is not doing the hot pink shade any justice. It's really fluorescent in real life! and the glittery black is so awesome for smoky night-time looks.

HAZY HAZEL - another fuss free combination of colours. I would use the purple on the lower eyelids just to give a pop of colour when you least expect it.

ROCKER - the only palette that I was disappointed with. The white shadow has chunks and chunks of large glitter particles. I am so put off by it already, imagine if these particles drop into my eye! What a hazardous palette huh?

Finally, I got the Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil. This actually caught my by surprise since I have never tried elf eyeliner pencils before. I thought that it would have a hard pencil lead, rather than the always favourable creamy ones. But, this pencil lead is so creamy it can match higher-end brands! :D SO AWESOME!

Guess when I'm off my makeup ban, I will get more Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils!! :D

And now off to my 257 readings! I'm on panel tomorrow! Hope Marko doesn't grill me! HOPE LEONARD HOW ANSWERS ALL HIS QUESTIONS! :D
