Im the classic virgoian who believes in perfection. Sometimes people dislike me because they find me acting too cold towards humans. Or maybe they just can't accept my high standards. So, love me or not, u decide.

power POWER!

today i created history by consuming the longest preparation time in make-up.
*CLAPS*
the norm for me usually takes about 30-40 mins, depending on my mood but today it took me 1 hr!
all thanks to the fake lashes, now i realise i dont have the flair of talent for it.
aik leng and chanel wear fake lashes all the time and hanging out with them makes me also want to try them out, so i decided to carry out an experiment at home today.
i stick the falsies on, pulled them out, re-glued, not satisfied, pulled them out again and the cycle repeats.
ya, this is how bad it was -.-

in the end, i still went back to my normal makeup.
im done with fake lashes.
i still have an undying love for mascara.

notti, can you please teach me?
saw your newly taken corporate photo in fb.
as usual, you never fail to wow me :)
dashing, cool and charming.
the pic was really well-taken, you could have just appear in mags.
i travelled along the old path which we used to stroll in the past.
it's been 5+ months, but the memories were as fresh as yesterday's.
the fountain at raffles city office tower and the man who sat there.........:)
im listening to jon mclaughlin's song.
the song seems to depict the fairytale setting in the enchanted movie but i sense the agony.
yesterday while looking at the vast blue sky, i realised that no matter where we are in the world, we are all sheltered by the same blue sky.
i dont know, the thought of this makes me feel slightly happier 'cause it seems to shrink the distance bewteen us.
the question arises:

how far apart are we?

went to watch "Monga" with rena today at GV.
the only pity is we didnt catch it at Cathay, if not i would say that the total experience will be levelled up.
i shan't write a movie review here 'cause if other sources give it 4 stars or more, i could not agree more to it than this!
all in all, it's definitely worth your 3 hr time and money.

150410 was a disappointment.
to think that i have a home but i almost could not return to it.
fortunately, i managed to brave through the night and trek along the dark and creepy paths in vivo and harbourfront at almost 12am.
what i meant by 'dark and creepy'?
u will know it when the friendly atmosphere at a shopping centre in the day turns to a quiet and who-knows-who's-behind-you uncertainty at night.............
notti ps me :(

recently, someone told me that one of my ex-classmates quit from the degree course and later i was even more appalled by the reason she gave.
she said that she do not see her future prospects in this profession and that she wants to be a freelance make-up artiste.
how cool was that!
i admire her guts and drive!
it's not as if this did not occur in my mind before.
there are so many things i want to do other than what im doing now, which are modelling and taking up a professional make-up course.
though luck came knocking on my door a few days ago, i actually turned down an interview with a modelling agency.
i read some netizens' comments on this agency and apparently models have to appear in swim suits which is like 'duh'..it is obviously a must.
if i have a choice, i wont do so.
so what am i thinking?Add Image
maybe im not cut out for this line.

im thinking......just thinking that when i graduate from the uni, i will be 23 by then.
suddenly have this thought of venturing into the make-up world.
i know my father will surely kill me for this lah.
but once again, if i can have an option, i want to learn it from notti and get a decent cert from there.
why cant my family just treat it like im 'studying' overseas?
and moreover KL is so near to us.......................-180410-0030

should i rejoice at the countdown or should i not?

the induction programme is on 14th and 15th april from 9am-6pm.
two LONG days.......crazy
this also means that school is starting soon in about a week's time.
so..should i be looking forward with glee?

but..if there is a reason for me to anticipate this coming week, that would be notti.
he's COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
you know, i was pretty bored and was lying on my bed on that lazy saturday afternoon when that life-changing sms changed my mood 360 degree!
haha.
i jumped out of my bed as if something pricked me hard from underneath and was jumping non-stop on the ground.
damn, i guess nothing could describe the ultimate joy i was feeling and it seemed that the world looked so gorgeous all of a sudden!
WOW~~~!!!!!
unfortunately his visit clashes with the last day of the induction programme, but heck.
im so going to accompany him (after school).
dont worry, im not muddle-headed.

people say "clash of the titans".
sylvia says "clash of my hopes".

anyway, the income tax thingy was settled.
everything was nicely done.
so..phew............
no more problems on that :)

looks like my days are brightened up since 'that'.
:D
:D
:D

even me myself also could not believe that i manage to independently pass an hour's time outside.
the keyword is 'independently'.
yea..i was alone, all by myself.
the reason for staying at home rather than going out by myself during my free time is because i dread boredom.
boredom is scary and i detest eyes on me whenever im outside.
i mean..i neither dress like an alien nor a monster, so people out there can you kindly stop looking at me?!
im shy alrite......
since i already set my mind to look for mummy at parkway parade today, i gotta be mentally prepared to wait for her alone.
to me, today is definitely a big breakthrough.
i took bus 10 on a 45 min journey to PP. cool rite?
hence, the accomplishment is self-control, resisting the resident temptation of taking a cab.
yeah! i won!
so while waiting for mummy, i went to starbucks and ordered a dark mocha frappucino.
there i was, settled on a seat, plucked my earphones on, tap on starbucks wireless and joyfully surfed net on my iphone.
how cool was that, dude!
but still i gotta admit that though i can somehow attempt to spend time alone by myself, i cannot do without my mp3.
its only when the music plays in my world that i can avoid people's stare and do my things naturally.
this happens all the time when im traveling alone in public transport, shopping and basically doing anything at anywhere away from home.

am i a weirdo?

my mood sank deep into the valley last night.
same issue, same argument.
this time was worst than before and because of this, i suffered from the uncommon insomnia.
went to bed at 2+ and i thought maybe a little music could make me sleep better.
hence, i utilized sylvia's all-time remedy that was to listen to my mp3.
hehehe..you know...this is actually the upgraded version of turning on my hi-fi all night (yea, i tried before on several occassions).
however, last night's attempt was not exactly very successful.
at 3+, i thought i felt only 40% of its effect.
ahhhh..better than nothing, at least the music managed to drown my insomnia by a tweeny bit.
then, i turned off my mp3 and slept through the night.
haiz.
you know what, sylvia is really silly.
she even thought of sms-ing notti, though unsure if he will reply.
but she just want to send out an sms to him.........................................
all it takes is a gamble.

oh god, this looks fab isnt it?
awwww...look at the margarine and the....maple syrup smoothed on top of it!!!!! *slurps*
i've been dying to head down to kfc just for this!
& today i officially fall flat to this temptation.
woke up 'early' in the morning with my bro just to catch this am meal....
he was influenced by me to try this out (even if the world collapsed).
when we reached the outlet, i hesitated between the similarly delicious-looking platter meal and waffles meal.
*sigh* you see...the worst thing to do to a glutton is to give her too many food choices.
yah yah...nevertheless, i kept my stand firmly to the ground.
ordered 2 waffles meal and 1 twister original meal.
only til today i realised that mcdonalds has been closed down, and i guess this closure led to many customers flocking over to kfc.
do you know how long we waited for our food? 20-30 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!
somehow or rather the kfc staff were also overwhelmed by the huge crowd such that their service was impaired.
what i meant by 'impaired' was the carelessness to leave out sugar for my coffee, maple syrup and margarine for my waffles.
sucks big time, man!
now, my long-waited waffles tasted so plain :(
f.y.i* we ordered takeaway so we cant get these from them again.....................*sigh again*
but i gotta admit, the twister meal was fantastic.
i will be ordering this next time.
sylvia likes tomato omelette
or omelette with tomato.
i love them sama-sama ;)

notti, how should i describe you?
it's like no matter in what situation, you are ever so handsome.
but i dont love you just for your looks.
i love your presence, your everything even your flaws.

saw your pics in fb..
know that you are very tired back from your trip, thats why i sent u an sms to show my concern.
& the best thing is you replied me with one word.
isnt this the so-called "1 word reply"?

do you know what a girl is most afraid of?
i tell you.
she's afraid that the guy she loves has lost interest in her.
u get what i mean?

i mean, it is purely out of concern that i sms him and i do not ask for anything in return.
but 1 word reply seems a little too cool for me :(
anyway, regardless what he feels for me, i wanna let him know that i will always keep him in my heart.
even if his friends and colleagues showed the same concern for him, i will not care any lesser for him.
