What to blog?

To make myself a little happier, I'll blog about make-up!

I haven't have the bestest complexion. My make-up isn't like xiaxue's that dramatic. Ok lah. Mine can be very drama too.

During the 21st, Tingz wanted to see me with no make-up on. She was totally shocked. Hohoho. Tingz now knows how I look bare faced. ><.
Thank god for the angle. If not might be worse. Ok. This is my bare face. With nothing on. Not even moisturizer. Not too bad. Well, its not too good either.
With make-up. Flawless. Wootz. (My new pet phrase.) I think its partially due to my new foundation am using. Loreal True Match. :) Alongside with my ZA concealer, it gets perfect! Highly recommended by most people to wear colour contacts with make-uped face. Am wearing greys here. Ok, I love grey lenses. The lenses in this shot is not my usual lens. Was using J&J's, its a free pair. I didn't really like that brand due to the fact that the lens on my left eye does not really fit my eye. So the lens will start moving and you can really see its out of position.
I use this brand that Raine Yang's spokes for. This colour she's wearing too. Have been using it way before she became their spokesperson. Ciba Vision FreshLooks. :)

Ok. Make-up. How drama can my make-up get? Hmm.. I reckon the D&D was pretty drama. Someone commented I looked like a barbie doll. Wootz! Must be the fake lashes. Ok. I begin to wear fake lashes too. My eyes aren't very big too. See mine looks so much bigger than hers. I think partially also due to the lenses. Hehehe. Oh ya. If you are like me with inner double eye lids or have single lids, you can try smoke eyes. Will really make those small eyes bigger. But do remember to blend. Blend either to your lid colour or to the highlights that you use. And don't try this without a brush. Maybe I have been using brushes for a long while that I really don't recall how to use fingers. I recommend Body Shop brushes. As for the colours, if you are just experimenting, use purple or green. I don't use pink or blue and do not recommend them for smoke eyes. How to smoke pink? For me, my everyday smoke eyes I use green, cause it's not too dramatic. If its for clubbing or occasion, I use black. Beginners, BLACK is at your own risk.

In a rare chance would I put lipstick. Ok. I have really full lips. A professional make-up artist would say, I sure can carry deep red lips. Tried and tested, I don't like it. I think I look like a clown. Maybe I got to try it by a professional. When I do a make over shot, that is.

Remember less is more. So if you have smoked eyes, you should not apply much on your lips or cheeks. Let it compliment your eyes. Same for the lips. Red lips, eyes should be minimal. Most importantly, the skin should be flawless. If you're like me with scarring problems, use a concealer. If you have dull skin, use corrective make up bases like green or purple.

To me untidy brows are a big no-no. If you're lazy to maintain them, get them waxed. Waxing can last for up till 2 months. If you don't have much of a budget, try threading. My baby, Marilyn does that. She does not have alot of hair on her brows, so she fills them with colour. I do that too. The hairs on my brows are really fine. I have used brow powder before. Well, if you like dark brows then they'll do fine. For me I prefer to go over with a pencil then use the brow brush to 'spread' them over. Where can I recommend for brow trimming? Well, I only visit the beauty salon to get my brows trimmed only when I think I just can't do it anymore. Then I'll go to them. After that its all me. I heard Browhaus is not bad.

I think this is what I can think of to share for now. :) Hope its informative.

Someone with a weird name too.

I know for the past few days, I have been a worry to my friends. OK. Am not crying anymore. Am eating slightly better. I'll try living happy, ok?

Realize - Colbie Caillat

Take time to realize
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in
Take time to realize
That I am on your side
didn’t I, didn’t I tell you
But I can’t spell it out for you
No it’s never gonna be that simple
No I can’t spell it out for you

If you just realize
What I just realized
That we’d be perfect for each other
And we’ll never find another
Just realize
What I just realized
We’d never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other, now

Take time to realize
Oh oh, I’m on your side
Didn’t I, didn’t I tell you
Take time to realize
This could all pass you by
Didn’t I tell you
But I can’t spell it out for you
No it’s never gonna be that simple
No I can’t spell it out for you

If you just realize
What I just realized
That we’d be perfect for each other
And we’ll never find another
Just realize
What I just realized

We’d never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other, but

It’s not the same
No it’s never the same
If you don’t feel it too
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way
It could be the same for you

If you just realize
What I just realized
That we’d be perfect for each other
And we’ll never find another
Just realize
What I just realized
We’d never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other

Just realize
What I just realized
That we’d be perfect for each other
And we’ll never find another
Just realize
What I just realized
We’d never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other, now
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now owa, owa ohh
Realize
Realize
Realize
Realize
uh-ohhh

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO

I think its going to be a super LONG post. I have about 100 pictures with me. Not including the other cameras that took pictures too. I think that will be.... say 200?


Day 1 of 21st Bday

Stuck in the chalet alone. Well, seems like everyone doesn’t really like Fridays. Or me? There isn’t any internet connectivity at the resort or rather chalet area. So, am writing this blog entry via words; copy & paste to blogger. Life is so funny. When you do need people around you, there aren’t. Thank god I brought my laptop along. At least I could draft the blog entry and do some photoshopping without my pink Microsoft mouse. Why am I being so detailed? Guess it might due to the hunger pangs. Ok. I am actually waiting for Elaine to arrive and accompany me through the night. Well, as spoke of the devil, she just phoned me. She’s on the CAB! Hurray! Just praying the cabbie uncle knows how to get here. ~Looks left, looks right~

Well, much appreciated my cousin to bring me here. [Dad’s in Jakarta.]

~ Am quite tempted to revamp the blog to “The life of a fake-ass Independent chick”. Might be really funny. ~

Back to the chalet/lonely-party. There was a heavy downpour a while ago. Guess the other chalets are starting their delayed BBQ about now. You know what’s funny? Am actually alone and seeing people run across my chalet with stuff. OK. Maybe my expression isn’t that funny. Only if you were here to witness it. Very funny lah. Hoho. My BBQ is starting tomorrow. Hopefully there are people auto enough to take up the peng-ing role. Haha.

My thoughts about being 21? More responsibilities loh. Sigh. True that I can walk into a casino without going through any underhand methods, true that I can watch ALL censorship categories of movies.

Wait. To think about it, its been a REALLY long time since I slept next to Elaine. Hohoho. ~Sheepish grin.~ The last time was probably during school camp. Just kidding. I think she’ll be here any moment. Tampiness to Changi, not very far. Oh! She’s HERE!

This was written on the evening of day 1 - 22 Feb.

Day 2&3 of 21st Bday

Seriously I really don't know how to start writing day 2. Though day 2 was 23 February, to me its not 1 day ago. Seems like I just ended the day moments ago. Maybe due to the overnight-ness. Ok, will start writing with waking up with Elaine. Jiemei & Puipui came at midnight! Just to wish me Happy Birthday! Super happy! I realized I didn’t cry at the chalet. But am so feeling touchy and might start crying while writing this. Haha. ~Puipui, don’t angry at her, ok?~

Did the decorations with Miss Thiang.So great the she could stay and accompany me till Hui Fang gets to the chalet.

Soon Clare came! Hooray! Thanks for the muffins!

Then Uncle Jeremy came. Hohoho. He is so going to kill me. Uncle Jeremy.

Now ALL my friends are calling him that. Hahaha.

Came Jeffrey! He was a great help! I really don't what I do. Thanks for the BBQ, cleaning up, EVERYTHING! Pic got cut. --.--

Then came Zizi and Tingz! Haha. Thanks for the Mphosis bag! Am so going to use it during my varsity days. Didn't take pic with Tingz. ><

Another important person came! My DAD! From the airport! When he landed, he called me and asked what else I needed, Elaine had suggested to get champagne some time ago, and my dad got it. Think it was some berry champagne. It had a pretty packaging and was in a lovely maroon colour.

Something to do with this day 21 years ago. The day I was born, a supernova took place! How cool is that! No wonder I like looking at stars. O.K. Bullshit. Wahaha. Pretty right?

Then my dear cousin Cecilia and mate came. She has really been of great help! From day 1 to my actual day and all. Had so forgotten to take pictures with her.

Jensen with BBQ-ed sotong balls.
My lovely sis, Amanda. She gave me the best presents! 20 months later, ok?

Foodie prep-ing! :)

Ohhh.. BBQ!

Baby!

Cam-whoring!

FOOD!
More pics!

BBQ! Soon more people came! God. I totally can’t remember the sequence of who came. I think the most dramatized part of the entire party was when I suddenly was told someone was coming. Damn. I thought I had gotten over. Hmmmm. Guess not. ><

Poly mates part. Hahaha. Damn farnie lah. I think the pictures will do ALL the talking.

One word description: WILD! I think EVERYONE had fun! Jack must be having "sweet" dreams. Hahaha

The neighbour chalet was also celebrating 21st too! A guy. I think he was pretty badly sabo-ed/tegan-ed. Haha. Will I be getting worse? Hmm.

Kena a bit of cake.

My portion of the cake that I have yet to eat.

Ok. Comes the cutting cake. Gosh, totally like a paparazzi session. Felt like at the Grammy’s or Oscar’s. I think there were like 4-5 cameras snapping almost at the same time. You totally don’t know WHERE to look. So I think some shots I have can see people look else where.

Champagne popping time. Funny thing was, my cousin wanted to help me with the loosening of the cork. Instead, the cork was TOO anxious and it just pop! Haha. So not much spillage. But my naughty cousin wanted more fun, she shook the bottle a bit. Haha. Wonder who caught that moment?

Got cake?
Wet & Caked
The culprits.

Tio also.

The next ermm gross-expected-running-away moment was the cake smashing. Had ordered chocolate cake. Zulia, Elaine, Marilyn, Hui Fang and Jiemei(?) all came to me and suggested me to HAVE some cake. I sort of knew what was going on. Of course I wanted to avoid it. Someone smashed the cake straight into my face!!! So my nose had some too. Totally gross. After snapping out of the disorientation, I wanted my revenge. Hohoho.

Late-comer Terence came. --.-- Ok, allow you the usage of my lousy excuses. “The states are still celebrating my birthday.”

Speeding along changi.
@ Changi V. Elaine: Really meh?
SG is really "CLEAN".
Lak milo.

Fish!

ECP Macdees.

Took the car out to Changi Village to visit our ma-pok friends. God. They are damn hot! Suddenly, felt inferior. My birthday leh! How can like that?! >< minute="0" hour="3">3-4am. Zulia was getting a little very spooked. On the walk, a leaf fell. Hahaha. The girls screamed! O.K. I was pretty spooked. But was all due to ZULIA! If she hadn’t screamed, I won’t too. Haha. There’s really nothing to be scared about though. Poor Terence, being grabbed like…. Sigh. Haha. Wonder if his arm had bruises? Should have so captured that. We came to this place where people were fishing. The first sight was someone had caught something! A fish! How cool can that get! Was a catfish too (I think.). Something even cooler happened. Saw my primary school classmate! Desmond Toh. Haha. What an unusual place and timing to meet someone you have not met in a really LONG time. Haha.

Was hungry, (I didn’t have much appetite earlier in the day) so moved on to a 24 hour MacDees. East coast park was the only one I could think of. So east coast here we came. Got there about 4.30am. Chatted till 6am and drove back to the chalet.

Macdees part 2.
My kopi.
The loot!:) Thanks for all the presents!


Elaine left with Terence early, cos Terence’s dad needed the car earlier in the morning. Took a 1 plus hour nap with Zulia. Checked out at 10am, went to another Macdees with my dad, Amanda, Jensen and Brenda for breakfast part 2. Got home around 1 plus, blogged a little, paused and went to sleep.

Its 4am 25 Feb. Blogged for almost 4 hours! More pictures @ my facebook. Here & here.
