cannot wait



Cannot wait for this drama to be out because JoKwon and Gain are acting in it. Not as lovers though, as twins instead. So full of incestuous feeling but anything with JoKwon should be fine. HEEHEE.

Photos that made my day.

Credits go to the various photographers.

COLLECTIVE HAUL PART 2

This is the 2nd part to my collective haul. Part 1 is just right after this post! :)

Mostly cosmetics that I accumulated over the many many weeks.

5 new lipsticks. 3 from Stage and 2 from nyx.



I like how the stage lipsticks are so moisturising on the lips. And the colours are not the jarring kind, so they are all awesome everyday colours. The nyx lipsticks are more extreme though. They are both on the blacker side and these lipsticks are bought for photoshoot/freelance purposes. :)


I got myself an awesome deal from sg_beauty. All these items for 10 bucks!

Maybelline blusher and mark eyeshadow.

I'm a huge fan of the blusher since the colour is so wearable, but the eyeshadow is just alright for me. Good for lining the lower lid but rather rubbish for smokey eye effect.



Rimmel eyeshadow.

I'm so disappointed with this product. The swatches below were swatched after i vigorously tried to get some colour of the product. The pigmentations are utter rubbish! The white is a good highlight colour though.



I'm always on the lookout for L.A. Colors palettes because they have pigmented eyeshadows with a downplay on the shimmers; more on the metallic side I think.

These colours are really colours for the spring season! Red is really bad for Asian skin but I guess mixing it up with black will be a good solution. Everything with black is awesome.



COLLECTIVE HAUL PART 1

Nothing beats blogging about random hauls after 2 vomit-inducing midterms. 257 midterm had answers so simple to choose from that it was also so easy to make careless mistakes (i have made a few already. hohum) 207 midterm was much better because things that I studied came out, and things that I ignored didn't, so that itself was already a relief. Sly Dr. D.

I went out with Yinghui today! :) Such a spontaneous decision. But I need to fatten her up! She has become so much thinner after her dengue fever stint. In the process, I also sacrificed myself by eating as much as she is eating. At the rate I'm going, I may come back a potato when recess week is over.

This is collective haul part 1, which is mainly the apparel and accessories part. Cosmetic haul will be in part 2! :)

I bought this moroccan-military style blazer for 20 bucks at Newlook. It was previously 109.90. Utter siaoness. I cannot wait to wear it!


I got the following 2 for 50 bucks online. Have yet to wear them out yet though. First thing to do is to iron them! (procrastination is a bitch)



HEEHEE. Hello Kitty pullover for 24 bucks. I bought this to spite huiying since she loves Hello Kitty so much, but in the end I think I'm in love with this pullover. So comfy and so spacious. There are times when I just sleep in this. :)


The following 2 were 15 bucks each from Bugis Street. Bugis Street is a really a must-go for shopaholics. I'm intending to go there once every 2-3 months, so that I can see new styles there. They sell blogshop stuff, BUT AT A OHSOMUCH CHEAPER RATE!



Cotton on shirt for 10 bucks. I got myself a pair of polka-dot shorts for 10 bucks and also a black skirt for 24.95 from cotton on.


New shoes! I can't remember how much this pair was retailing for. 15-20 bucks I guess? Bought it from Bugis Street also! It's a very queer pair of footwear, but I just love the quirkiness. This and something polka-dotted will go so well together!



A pair of sandals from Cotton On. I regret buying this colour because it clashes with everything that I wear, but I guess that means I have to get more black apparels. Heeee, more excuses to shop.


Pardon the ugly toenails. I knocked both on the door at 2 separate occasions. :(


A pair of sneakers from Cotton On once again. (I think I can be the brand's ambassador) Will look damn gungho with a pair of blinged top and boyfriend jeans.



Leopard print wedges. LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE. it was 30 bucks only. DAMN AWESOME. :)


Accessories!

2 new watches from Bugis Street for 10 bucks total.


Shades from Cotton On for 5 bucks.

Bag from Bugis Street. If I can remember correctly, I think it was 22.50. Hmm. I'm on the fence about this bag because of how cumbersome it is. But still chio, so I don't really care lar.


A choochootrain ring from Func Decko for 9.90. Yinghui got a Volkswagen one too! :)


These photos below were taken using the iPhone when my camera was in low-batt mode; hence, I'm so sorry for the poor quality!

I got myself more earrings from gmarket! 9 pairs for 10-11 bucks including shipping and the white pair is free and it's so fugly that I threw them away. =/



I AM IN LOVE WITH THE OWL PAIR! :)

brain exploding

I think after this week is over, I will become shitloads smarter.

I'm trying to understand Rogers, Schramm, Darwin, Freud, Marx, Lazarsfeld, Lasswell, Lewin and Chicago School and trying very hard to get extra informations from the readings into my head as well.

Not stopping there though. When we finish 257's lecture on Media Sex tomorrow, I will start on the 11 or more chapters of 257.

The brain's power is mighty.

People say usually, you only use a single digit percentile of your brain's natural power. I hope I can maximise that percentile to 9.999% then.

Blogposts will be rather rampant during the recess week. As of now, I shall make my exit for the week, for I have too many midterms and presentations and interviews to be preoccupied with.

it's nice that way

Sometimes it's just nice for someone to treat you better than usual.

I want to be incompetent.
Obviously I can't.

I'm aware of myself and I know for sure that I'm too perfectionist to not want things to be done properly all the time.
That's why I drive all the TLC away.

Sometimes it's just nice for someone to treat you better than usual.

well well well well

Time to get back on the bullet train track to awesome grades.

2 major midterms coming up and I have shitload to memorise.

Only with an optimistic will I be able to use the shitload of space in my brain. Yes I will be optimistic about these oh-so-ominous events.

Fuck lar.

Hi folks

As of now, Todayonline just tweeted that Mrs Lee Kuan Yew just passed away. The nation's pillar of strength is now gone and hope the Lee family is taking this well. REST IN PEACE Mrs Lee Kuan Yew. :(

But we have to move on and life has to always go on.

So I have some hauls and freebies this week! SO MUCH STUFF, so i'm focusing on cosmetics and other beauty/skincare products first. The next post will be on my fashion haul!

Watsons is always awesome. I got all of the items below for S$1.90 each. So awesome.
  • Clean and Clear deep action cleanser (travel size) - so I can bring it whenever I need to stayover in school.
  • Makeup wipes in peach and cucumber.
  • Dove hair treatments - one in straight and silky, and another in intense moisture


Thanks to the awesome tight community in WKWSCI, I landed a deal with one of the magazines in Singapore. I get to review all these products and my review will be on the magazine's website! :D

I got these products (all given to me by said magazine):
  • SIMPLE cleanser and moisturiser
  • Bourjois bronzer+highlighter compact
  • Maybelline set: pouch, mirror, cd and 9 lipglosses
  • L'oreal Foundation

The foundation is a too light though. So anyone interested to get this foundation from me please just leave a comment or so. Colour is G1 Vanilla Ivory.


This was the most shocking part. When the lady smsed me about these lipglosses, I thought she was going to send me just one or two. Nope, the magazine sent me all the colours. LOL.

As a freelance makeup artist, THIS IS GREAT NEWS.

As for myself, this is horrible, because I don't really use lipglosses, but maybe this will be my driving force to take better care of my lips!

I gave 2 to chan though, must share the love. :D (CHAN, REMEMBER TO GIVE ME AWESOME REVIEWS ON THEM AR!)


Some swatches for the lipglosses, and no I didn't bother to say which is which because I'm plain lazy. boohoo.


Another awesome deal! join sgfreebee.com to receive awesome freebies! The best thing is that, they don't have a quota on how much you can redeem and after filling up your personal particulars and what-nots, you can redeem alot because they reward you with loads of points!






Also got myself the super famous MILANI Infinite liquid eyeliner. The staying power is SIAO awesome. But i fear for my eyelids because even on the back of my palm, I have to use makeup remover and rub so bloody hard before it can come off. O_O


BUT SO VIBRANT! :D

Shall go back to exchange preparation and ATTEMPT to do some mugging. WAHAHA, I'm an awesome student who doesn't mug and get good results. Okay last part is fiction.

Ciao.
