Hair food

It has always been a personal habit of mine to "feed" my skin and hair the occasional fruits or drinks to give them a special oomph! that I feel my skin/hair deserves.
It's alot like going on a holiday - try out new places, eat new food, taking a break from routine.

I've tried applying tomato, cucumber years back...
and random one off experiments like washing my hair with copious amount of beer..
applying egg on my face
mayonnaise to soften the elbows
making a lemon sugar scrub to exfoliate my skin bi-weekly for 6 good mths..
honey oat with milk to replace to my lemon sugar scrubs.

Most people including the family would raise an eyebrow and/or drop random comments about my food adventures... you know, mixed reviews.

I do not understand why people have qualms about slathering food onto hair or even face,
When we barely bat an eyelid slathering tons of chemicals on ourselves?

From soap to moisturizer to even sunblock.
These are stuff that we can barely pronounce the names of the chemicals used, and they're supposed to be good for me?

Dimethicone.
Stearoypropyl
Oxymoronic
Amodimethicone

Just listing random chemicals names I took off my from my commercial products.

Peering at the label of my treatment hair masque - out of the 28 ingredients used to produce my commercial hair masque - I barely recognise half of the items placed in it.
I am not a chemical genius - and I have no idea how these chemicals are derived, how it looks like in its original form, or whether it's really good for me.
I do not think any normal consumers would either.

and yet people judge me for applying stuff that I eat onto myself?
I find that highly laughable.

Come on, if it's good enough to be ingested into your system, why isn't it good enough to be applied on?
why snub on natural forms of fix me up, and choose chemically enhanced potions.

Naturally enhanced potions/chemicial/liquids
ARE THEY REALLY BETTER FOR YOU?
Or is that a hoax created for commercial purpose?

Go figure.

All I'm saying is, sometimes its good to take a break from the routine, and try out something new, be it something as mundane as to apply banana puree on my hair just to see where that banana will get my hair to.

It can be rather mentally refreshing too, to break habits.
Gets your creative juices flowing.
Back in design school - I had this lecturer that challenged us to break our routines for a week as a form of mental exercise. I enjoyed that. (more of it later)

So I've decided to puree the banana, add a teaspoon of honey, trickles of tap water - and blended everything up.

My second attempt at banana for the hair in this lifetime.
Must say that the first attempt was terrible, coz I merely mashed the banana up with a fork, instead of puree-ing it, and I suffered terribly for it. Lol.

Had banana bits stuck on my hair, and I had a rough time combing through to remove morsels of banana tangled in my hair.

Attempt #2 is waaaaay better.
The longer you puree it, the easier to wash off.

I started by shampooing the hair.... then proceeded to towel dry the excess water.
Applied my banana puree starting from the hair tips (that's the part that needed the most attention IMHO), slowly working my way up to the roots - since I read that banana is also good for the scalp. Lol.

I wasted my time away sitting in the bathtub.
I contemplated playing Tetris on my phone and decided against, for I remembered my previously drowned blackberry that malfunctioned fro 2 days after I picked up my phone mid shampooing.

Finally settled for a full body scrub with the loofah to kill time + rearrange the bathroom toiletries.
My intention was for the bananas to stay on my head for a full 20 minutes, but my bathroom lacked entertainment.
I washed off in slightly under 15 minutes.

Washing off took a bit of effort, and for good measure, I combed my hair + condition my hair to remove tangles, just to make sure that no banana bits will escape the bathroom and attract ants. Lol.

After lots of staring in the mirror (when hair is dry), the noticeable differences are

1) hair has a slight shine sheen - making it look healthier by 10%
2) the hair tips - being the driest of the driest feels less "pricky" like by a good 10%
3) dragging my fingers through the hair - it met less tangle resistance as compared to how my hair is usually comb unfriendly.

Good enough results for a not so patient daphne.
At least it works for me!

fyi.
Oxymoronic is not a chemical
I added it in for kicks.

---
Back to the break-your-daily-routine challenge I mentioned earlier,
Back in design school- the Guest Lecturer suggested an exercise to encourage us to break away from the usual norms and practices.
Starting with the things you do on daily basis.

It could be something as simple as swapping the sequence of your routine that actually makes a difference in your lifestyle, and awaken your creativity cells.

It could be as ridiculous as to eat your breakfast before brushing your teeth, or
as simple as wearing your shoes.

Do you have a favorite foot when you put on your shoes?
Swap the habit and put on your shoes on the unfavored foot first.

Granted that I always fancy stupid projects like this.
My day gets less boring because I started the day differently.
Lol.

Oh my tummy

I woke up with a horrible horrible queasy feeling in my stomach.
I'm not sure what, but It was one of those dreadful feeling of wanting to puke or LS, and even my system could not decide which would be a better thing to do.

Went back to sleep, wishing that the dreadful feeling would go away!

I ran a quick list of stuff I ate yesterday..and I seriously did not eat anything adventurous!
No fried crickets or Balut or other funky stuff!
What in the world triggered my system to malfunction?!

Looking at the entire list of stuff I remember eating..

-Home made fried carrot cake for lunch..
-Peach and Lavender gelato from Gusttimo
-Tuna tataki salad at TCC
-Milk Green tea with mini pearls from each-a-cup
-Home cooked dinner of rice and stewed wine chicken + pink edamame soup +mushroom
 veg+ roasted pork.
-a bowlful of milo balls with milk

*stares angrily at list of food*
Which of you did it?! Better own up.

I'm rather prone to point fingers at my milo balls and milk, since that was practically the last thing I've consumed before heading to bed...unless you wanna factor water into the situation..

Well, and I do have sporadic intolerance to Lactose whenever I drink milk.
But that usually only affects me when I drink milk first thing in the morning + its never made me contemplate retching before!

Not when I consume milk for supper!
:(

NOOOOOOOooooo!


It's 6 in the evening, foodless and my system is still churning away.
Feeling good enough to erm do restless stuff, but the biting feeling's still going at my system.

*Mommy's suggesting that we eat Macs for dinner - because she's out galavanting with friends.
Wehhhh.....
Best mother in the world! (to be fair, she isnt aware..)


and to those who perpetually seem to think that I'm sooooo LUCKY to be blessed with being skinny + big appetite to boot - FU.

*signs off with a grumpy face and trots off to eat Macs. fml*

I don't give a flying fuck!

Seriously, it's like this stupid catch phrase that is stuck in my head for the past 3 hours.
On Repeat mode I tell you, even if I'm an unwilling party,
I'll need to get it out of my system, so that I'll be able to move on with life.

Unfortunately, there's nothing for me to use this on at this hour of the day.
fml.

Hence forth my attempt in posting it here, just so I'll be able to sleep in peace.

I very much think that WTFPapaya...is a cooler #@*!.
Not sure why tt doesn't stick in my head - even tho my system agrees on it unanimously.
Whyyyyyy....

I know i'm PMS-ing when.....

I have to work hard at curbing the absolute need to punch everyone I see for no apparent reason on one day, and...

waking up the next day thinking that no one loves me anymore, and dig deeper into the covers to sleep away the sad sad feeling.

Looking crappy, with the entire constellation of pimples mapped out across my face in weird places. :( Looking grey - i have no explanation for the grey color bit.

and the eating ALOT part.
Okay - granted that I usually eat quite abit, but PMS-ing eating is alot like stockpiling for Wartime sort of feasting.

I get less picky - like eating that chicken puff cold, and the konyaku with dubious looking fruits scavenged from the fridge..

Finished half a chocolate bar, and my thoughts keeps wandering to my newly bought party pack of Kinder bueno....
and
dinner

Claudia introduced me to the new yummy flavour while we were at Skinny Pizza.
Hahahhaha
The Squid Ink Pizza!
I've always been a fan of Squid Ink pasta, but the PIzza is definitely a first today.

People are usually disgusted by the blackish outlook of the squid ink - so I try not to eat it when I'm out with not so close people. 

Im sure I'll look gorgeous when I smile during meal times! Black Teeth! Woo hoo!

#WinningSmile FTW

Picture will do no justice, since the Pizza crust and seafood toppings is squidded too.
Like how mommy would put it - everything black black looking - looks disgusting, not gonna eat. -_-"

Looking at it now, I wonder why didn't I order a second pizza at Skinny Pizza earlier and stupid stuff like that.

*slurps*

I left skinny pizza full to the brim, and feeling unskinny.
Oh! and the sweet potato nibbles Claudia recommended is pretty awesome.
It's alot like french fries - sweeter and it was carb satisfying for me.

Ink-spired, I should drop by a Pinch of Salt soon for their yummmmmy yummy squid ink pasta + stewed oxtail soon.

Whenever I'm feeling shitty and drained off ideas, I'll always end up sorting out my room.

Somewhat, neatening up the war zone never fails to lift my spirits up. 

Maybe it's the feng shui or something.... or perhaps its just more aesthetically pleasing to set foot into a room fit for human to live with!

In anycase, I sorted out my crazy collection of shades ( Yeah.. I do realize that I have an excessive amount of everything accessories, clothes, shoes, shades, caps, socks, undies  - dont we all?!)

So I found......

this entertaining pair of shades that I bought off ebay or yahoo auction a decade ago!

It's my "sexy" shades! 

I never quite mustered the courage to wear it out.

tsktsk!

It's seriously quite cute what! 

Cost me 4 bucks.

Whatever la!

Finally gotten to collected my Hello Kitty watch from Zen.

Yay! It's damn tough to get that red bow/white face happy meal watch ok!

So have to take lots of picture with it!

I attempted to align my self sewn Red Bow in the same position and angle as Miss Hello Kitty, and here we go!

Reckon that the Red Bow placed in the front of my head is too cutesy for me to wear it out, not that I lack of courage to. :)

FYI, Kitty's bow was placed in it's right position... 

It's only that Photobooth essentially mirrors stuff, soooo Hello Kitty + Daphne's Red Bow in the picture is off, while the sexy shades was taken with my Canon, therefore the literacy of words!

I tried flipping the picture - only to find myself looking weird. 

Ah well.

#firstworldpain

Bi monthly nail fix - I did the reverse french manicure in my favourite combination!

the Red on Red. 

I like it that it's catchy without looking trashy.

Its quite a messy paint job, but... I really made lots of effort to be neat already. :(

Hahaha!
That about sums up all the my new/old toys!

X!

psst! Have you send a bowl of love today to the animal shelters?

If you stumbled into my blog by chance or by choice,
I'd hope that you'll read on and help a little animal today with just 3 clicks!

Purina - a pet food manufacturer is currently running a campaign called SEND A BOWL OF LOVE.
By liking their facebook page, and subsequently clicking on your choice of animal shelter that the bowl of food will go to, plus a cat or dog.

This is how the page would look like, after you've done the happy deed.

Essentially, it's just 3 clicks on facebook to do a very good deed!


It's a good time to accumulate some good karma for yourself, as well as to provide a nice meal for our furry friends living in animal shelters.


These furry friends of mine usually led quite a hard life, nothing like the fancy schmoozy that your pet dogs/ cats enjoy. 


It'll be nice for them to receive "love" for once, instead of cruelty and hardships.


Thank you in advance, and I'll really appreciate it, if you can click this everyday, until the campaign ends?


Love!
(on behalf of my furry friends out there)

Linus the boxer

In lieu of daddy's new Exotic Shorthair kitties, I was hunting around youtube for videos of other exotic short hair, when i chanced upon the videos of Linus the boxer!

He's such a sweet tempered dog!
Of course, his owner is probably a very good and patient dad/trainer.
I love how his daughter bonded with the dog, as he explains to her how she should "communicate with Linus"

Linus the boxer loves a party hat

Linus the Boxer Loves to Accessorize

It's so cute how Linus obviously dislikes accessorizing, but still gave in to her out of love and desperation. Hahah
Aww



In Linus the Boxer doesn't like his baby swimming
can totally see how protective the dog is of the baby's safety.
hates it when she's out of his "protective" boundaries.
Aiyo...




She obviously loves Linus equally dearly.
in Linus the Boxer loves a blanket fort

she calls out "come inside Buddy" a couple of times.



Watching the video, I wished I had a dog to grow up with when I was that age.
Weh...

Bunny says hi.

Hello everybody!
My human's sick, so I've taken to posting instead, just so she can lay in bed, and .....  toss around sometimes, and goes back to being motionless.

The Human took me out to play in her room the other day.
I'm terribly fond of this special dusty spot in her room - my Favouritest (permitted) spot in the house
I really do!


When I'm home, I like standing on the top of my toilet, it gives me height for a better view!

The tiny wooden box in the human's room is the same, but better!
For one, it's easier on my paws and is waaaaaay taller!
Just like a good pair of Jee-mee-choos or the loo-boo-tan that the human really fancies!
So I reckon my addiction to high boxes = human's addiction to crazy high shoes.

More special, with better view  - me thinks.

Human always likes to take many shots in different angle, and I'm a quick learner.

I'm terribly aware that the frontal shot is no my best angle, but it totally shows off my little white speck on the nose.

My left profile.. is prolly my best!
Shows off my huge dolly eyes, and cute ears!

But you have to pardon those awkward strands of fur sticking out.
I was changing my coat for summer, and I think fur brushes are for Sissies.

*ahem*
besides those straggly strands are totally cool.
I hate being called  a pretty boy.

Looking scruffy is so cool!
I tried to mess around with my pre-shed winter coat to get a bed head look, but they keep coming out in fluffs, instead of staying put on my head - like that gatsby dude that I see on TV sometimes.

Gatsby advert - fail!

I got tired of looking bright or scruffy, and so I gave the #emo pose

It wasn't very hard to look emo.

I just need to think about pixie, my bestfriend who no longer hangs out with me, and I get good shots like this. :(

I miss you pix!e, and I also miss stealing your food.
Do you think you can visit me - now that its the hungry ghostie month and all?
I promise to share my treats with you if you do.

I need to head back to my cage for a nap.

It's tiring to blog.

Not sure how the humans do it, but I hope she gets well soon!

Shall, sign off with a video of myself doing my bestest trick!
But human's phone camera is terrible, We make do and try not to be too nauseous ok?

Pretty Rings from Amado Gudek's AG collection

I saw some new products from Amado Gudek's AG collection.

The Glittery Resin ring named snowflake is sooo pretty!

I also saw some transformer / iceberg looking rings from the same collection.

especially the fuschia pink/purple called Lavender candy. 

Reminds me of rock crystal formation. Yummeh!

But I dont think this version is wearble friendly to me.

Being so accident prone... I might end up with a scratched face from wearing it or jab myself in the eye or something sad and loserish like this.

Seriously thinking about the Atom ring in Snowflake,

but I've got like 25099 rings at home, mostly unworn.

Packing / storing them is a bitch!

Need to think more than thrice.

Maybe it'll look shitty on my fat fingers yah?

And I have this feeling they only look pretty close up.

How to hide your cake. LOL

I saw this post from DamnLOL titled how to hide a cake from your FAT friends.
Wokay, it's funny.
Because I'm totally the selfish type who'll love to hog the entire cake to myself.
Not forgetting that my goodies always get looted away by hungry siblings.
*annoyed*
psst: It's rarely the brother, even though he's the hungriest of the lot.

Whatever it is, the main reason is because...
I LOVE CAKES!

But it's also not very funny now, coz it reminds me of cakes from Awfully chocolate.
and one of the rare chocolate cakes that I fancy.

*makes sad face*
Must buy the entire cake + fridge is spoiling +  no space.
I hate to clearing fridge space to make way for huge items.

Then again, I swear the whole world will hate me if I finish the entire cake by myself... just to avoid the fridge problem..

:S
Need to hunt for alternative solution.
Like get a slice of something from somewhere in Holland Village.
 :(

No same! Not spongey chocolatey cake.
Wehh...



Post edit: On hindsight, there's Secret Recipe's Banana Chocolate cake at Queensway.
I could drop by later... :)
At least these people are smart enough to sell in slices.

Boring week.

I spent the entire week busy with...
... ... ...
It's funny how I cannot seem to recall what I did, but yet managed to feel so exhausted!
This terrible lifestyle is taking a toil on my skin.

I'm doing some restoration work to the face, as I post this entry - while waiting for the pearl mask to do its job.


Anyway, I dug around and found random pictures in my phone to help recall.

Sunday
Found pictures of this Shattered glass effect used on the partition at Waraku's casual dining place located at Marina Square.
I like it that the shattered glass glistens under the spotlight, creating a pretty but cozy ambience.
I took that picture, while waiting for the Sister to arrive, and because the mother was hogging the menu. *yawn*
I dont usually have the habit of capturing my food, hence...
there is none. Lol.

Thursday

I only remember meeting up with the boys and girls for dinner on thursday - coz I insisted on having dinner at Fika, on the recommendation of this Swedish guy I met some time back?

Meatballs were pretty good - sorry i was too hungry to take pictures, and the staff was friendly - very helpful with their recommendations. 

In anycase, I chose the ramadan buffet, so the food layout was zero, with massive servings that I piled onto my plate.

I reckon I'll probably drop by again to try their Tea time stuff - desserts looked nice.

Saturday
Mom woke me up today to ask me if this tiny thingie belongs to me.
She claims that she picked it up in my toilet.
I peered, peeped and stared at the tiny gun with o_O eyes, because I've never seen it before!

*frowns*

It looks like I could use it to accessorize my Barbie's Lara croft / G.I Jane inspired outfit.

After 2 minutes of logical considerations, I reckon it's the brother's - from his Gundam collection or something, and somehow, somewhat, the weapon fell through his side of the door to our connecting toilet, and ended up in the toilet?

It is still weird, because I patter in and out of the toilet many times a day, and as of before bedtime... I DID NOT SEE IT.

Valda started the "it's the ghost month you know...." and I nearly flipped.

Somemore Saturday's supposedly the 15th - which is when the ghostly energy is at its strongest... 

GG

Interrogated the brother during dinner with a picture of the toy, and he said it is not his, but it might be from his room....
I gave him the exasperated look, how can he not know right?!
Mystery unsolved.
I hope the ghost had fun with the mini gun.

Earlier in the evening, the mother took FOREVER to leave home.
I had time to capture lots of pictures of myself, and still pause in between to cater to her random demands of "close the window", "I need water"...blah.

Attempted to give a rabbit face.
#Fail

 One normal face to undo that retarded rabbit face picture.

The woman also imposed a no high heels allowed rule  when we left house - so that she can wear her pumps out. #Brat

Walking around town in flipflops is quite a sad feeling.

Legs upwards - well done. Legs down, flip flops. Fail.

Good start, bad ending.

But I made her sprint for the bus, so I guess we're square. Lalala...

I never thought i'll ever need to do fridge shopping, but a girl's gotta do what she has to do right?

Set foot into the Best denki located at Takashimay, ( because I wanted to eat Sour Sally and Ayam Penyat Ikan lele penyat at Lucky.)

and the first fridge I saw was Samsung's starry night! 

Okay, im not sure what its actual name is, but I decided to call it the Starry midnight fridge!

It's gorgeous!

With an equally brow raising price to boot!

$4999.  Frigging 5k can?!

The starry crystals will light up, whenever you open the fridge door tho.

and rose gold handles + more crystals embedded within the handle, not forgetting a special compartment for champagne.

The mother scoffed at the pretty fridge;s price and went on with life.

Many fridges later, I realized that technology hasn't surpassed itself for the past  decade.
 :(
It's still water and ice dispenser at the moment.

None of the fridge has the ability to dispense frozen yoghurt, or Macdonald's icecream yet!
Wehhh....

Shortlisted a couple of normal looking fridge at a fraction of the Starry night fridge price, and perhaps I'll drop by at Nicky's tomorrow for good measure, just to see if he's got a better deal available at his side.

Last picture for tonight - one of myself with my eye patch for the terrible looking eyes.

It's been a good 3 weeks, and I'm still looking very tanned from Tibet.
I've been doing my utmost best in my sun avoidance, and I still look like a Somalian.
WHY LIKE THAT?

Ok need to wash face and hunt for food.

The difference between wearing fake lashes and no lashes.

I worked on the etheral feel, with lots of gaussian blurring, and did this.
Read up on tutorial, grasp the basic idea, and fiddled about with layering to create this!
Quite pleased with it, but its still not there yet.
Hurhurhurhur.

Anyway,
Remember my previous post about wearing too much make up?
I reckon i'm on a posting streak at the moment!
Yay!
I'd thought that I shall do a little experiment, just to prove a point!
Here's a picture of me from this multi-purpose-in-one photo session that I did for the contact lens review in my previous entry.

Okay, so you're thinking aloud - what's so special about this picture again?!
If you look at it hard enough, one eye's got fake lash, and the other's Naked. Nekkid!
Lol.

Looks weird, yes.
I have fairly small eyes, asian styled + hidden eyelids, and I cannot help but notice that girls with similar sized eyes, have a tendency to pile on the fake lash - thinking that it would help to compensate for the lack of size.

Well hello!
Contrary to the usual beliefs, the eye without the lash actually look brighter and bigger (and I need to point out that there was no mascara involved in the nekkid eye.)

While the eye with the fake lash actually looked yes more defined, but the definition actually creates the illusion of smaller eyes, as it sort of created a "height limit", capping most of my eye away.

Need more proof?
See for yourself!
I placed the pictures side by one for comparison's sake!
Left is taken after i'm dressed up and ready to leave for Zouk, and left was me in mid preparation, still in my home flutter tee.
Same day, same hairstyle, same room okay?
:D

My review on the G&G A21 Brown Lens

I spent the entire night thronging through the world wide web looking for reivews for....
colored contact lens, and I realized that there is very little reviews around!
It's something so .... "duh", so everyday and I reckon it is taken for granted.

Therefore, as bimbo as it sounds - I shall be a good samaritan and donate my share of review.
So exciting right?

For starters, they look like....... this!
Blowing up the lens, they seem to look like alien embryo of sorts.

Right, so this is the pair of G&G that i've been wearing for the past...... 6 months?

It's got a very unimpressive name - A21 Brown lens.

Lol.

ITEM DETAILS
Weight: 0 kg, 100 grams
Stock: Stock available
Diameter : 14.0mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal - I dont usually wear my lens more than 6-8mths.

Every frigging picture that I've posted up this year, would most likely be the G&G.

(though on random days, I'll put on the dailies Freshlooks illuminate just for kicks, or for my initial trips to wavehouse - terrified that my lens will be flushed away - or so I thought.)

Here's a close up taken with flash just so that the color would be obvious enough for a look see.

Haha.

Initially I did not like this pair, because when viewed up close, my eyes resembles the plastic eyes that toy dolls usually have, and I thought the honey brown was too obvious. 

After a bit of getting used to over the next few hours, 

I actually grew to fancy this pair, because 

1) the brown color warms my overall skin tone, making me look alittle less pasty and less "ice 

    queen" (or so I think)

2) Comfort wise, I can last up to 12 hours with my lens on, without feeling any discomfort like 

    dry-ness, pinching of the eyeball. Comfort is very important!

    

Of course, the comfort level would be nothing like the monthly disposables from Acuvue 

and friends, and my eyesballs falls on the slightly sensitive side, so what works for me is 

just from my perspective.  

Would need to stress that it's just my own preferences,

    

*I'll talk about the brands that made me bawled like a heart broken girl in abit...

3) the diameter of the lens is 14.0mm. Which in my humble opinion is just about the right size 

    for my mini asian eyes. 

I personally do not have large eyes, and therefore - wearing those hugeass dolly lens with 15mm diameter and more, will cause my eye whites to be totally non existent, making me  look just like Dobby, the house elf from Harry Potter. 

I kid you not!

Look at the picture yourself!

Back to the lens, this pair looks decent from a "further" perspective, taken with flash.

Here's another, taken without flash in my room.

One more in natural daylight by the window.

Quite natural right?
Creates enough "warmth" in the eyes, coz some lens that I have previously worn, made my eyes look very dead.

I have my share of lens that felt very drying and had the eye pinching feeling.

Wearing them for anything more than 2 hours, and I'd totally be tearing madly, like a broken hearted girl.

Let me see if I could recall the ones that made me cry real badly / waste money.

(Are you kidding? Of course I could remember them la!  

Lao niang have excellent memory for anything that hurt me bad. Hate to be bitten twice, you know? )

MAXI eyes - nearly died the minute I put them on.

5 minutes later, I cried.

1 hour of perserverance - and I felt like I was going blind.

Not sure if its Maxi eyes or Maxi BLIND!

So nope, no pictures of me in it AT ALL, chucked out and flushed into the loo.

That was the worst of the lot.

The rest felt drying, only after 4 hours.

Like the PM or Pro Mo Dolly lens.

I saved this pair for short outings during the weekend, for I could not survive with the PM pair in the office.

Aircon + prolonged staring at the computer was a tear worthy experience for my eyes.

I Bought the green ones, coz the model is damn chio!

It's equivalent to buying a dream!

Lol.  

Totally  #inselfdenial.

In reality, it looks different when I put it on leh!

Weh.. :(

Managed to dig around in my Mac, and found an exceedingly rare picture of the green lens ( since I rarely wear it out)

I am guessing that the model in the picture was massively photoshopped, and that i'm extremely tanned by nature. #DENIAL again 

Green color does not complement "chow tar" girls.

*sigh*

Interesting enough, Blue on the other hand - looks surprisingly refreshing on me!

But being a teeny bobber no more, I outgrew obvious and crazy colours, and have since stuck to brown.  (Been itching to try on pink or violet tho) :S

I actually have couple more to share, like the pair of Geo honey wings that prompted me to search for a replacement lens, and to post up this entry.
But I realized that this post is getting exceeding long.
Shall attempt to share another day.


Cheers!

Hello Kitty Watch!

Seriously, i'm in the midst of writing another post actually.
But I saw this on FB.
Now I need to write this, and eat Happy Meal to get the hello kitty watch.

Weh...
I swear it's Mac's evil plot to make me eat Macs, over and over again,
even tho I said i'll swear off Macs for a good couple of months after the Coke Glass Can saga.
Roar!

Look at it!
It's Madam Meow with RED BOW!
So Chio!

It's ♥! Over and over again!

It has to be a red kitty bow. 
I know you guys are all sick and tired of me preeeeeeching about how my meow has to have
RED bow, Not pink, not gold, not any color.
RED Good.
Decided to change the color of the "Like" to red just for kicks!

Ok, I shall revert back to my other original post that I'm working on.

Contact lens review!
Just because I can't find much review/ pictures of people posting with pictures of them wearing their contact lens on the www.
I shall do my part.

KThxBye

Procrastination

I've been procrastinating.
I have tons of pictures waiting to be fixed and uploaded.

I'll open up photoshop, stare at the pictures, and then give up.
I told myself that I'd drop by Mosiac tonight for Social - didn't happen.
Something's wrong with me. Not sure what though.


But what I know for sure, is that it's too late to get bubble tea.
and that it's been friggin 10 bloody days, but the germ's still having a rave party in my throat.
Upset!

I need my sugar fix, but i'm too lazy to get them.

Predictably, I shall settle for Soft icecream from Macs once I get over inertia, since bubble tea's out.

Took a picture of my ice-creams last week.
one for the road, and the other one was kept for later in the night to randomly commemorate the end of july, and to cheer my throat up.

Yes I usually like my ice cream Topless and naked.
Woooo....~

Lol.

Strawberry taste like medicine sometimes,
hot fudge is sore throat inducing. 

and I like to be special.
That's why.

Terrible sleep.

My sore throat isn't recovering.
Halp!

I know I've been tweeting non stop about my throat since Friday til now.
5 frigging days of sore throat.
You know how sad and ridiculous that is?

I keep complaining that my throat feels as if I've swallowed huge amount of glass shards.
It feels so raw and swollen that drinking/eating hurts.

I've "fasted" the entire day away, refusing to eat.
Weh..poor me.
Sick and still have to starve myself somemore.
Finally, I caved in and had icecream and bread to coat the sad throat and fill the very empty stomach up.

I barely slept the past few nights.
Sadly, for someone who always has the ability to fall asleep in a jiffy,
I am a terrible sleeper whenever I fall sick.

Perhaps the sleepy chemicals in my body would disappear the instance I fall ill?

No matter how I tried, I'll be jolted awake by the lack of oxygen (stuffy nose), or how subconsciously I'll hear gurgling noise produced from my phlegm or something from the sickly virus...that I'll jolt awake - feeling disgusted with myself.

Such a terrible plight to be sick.


It also did not help that a couple of hours before bedtime, I read an article that claims that sleeping too much will cause wrinkles.
Good grief.

You know, there are days when you will wake up with bed marks on your body and face - where the pressure caused by your body weight makes contact against the folds of your sheets for the entire night?

Yeah, apparently sleeping - with your face pressed on the cotton bedsheet helps your wrinkles to set in as you age.
The only way you can minimize or avoid it, would be to sleep with satin bedsheets, and/or by lying on your back when you sleep, so that your face avoids contact with the fold marks.

FML. I tried that and I was sleepless until 10am in the morning.
My standard sleep stance involves alot of cheek to pillow time, lying on my back gave me an air of despair - for I can't just stay stationary in one pose the entire night.

It's currently close to 5am, and I'm still sleepless.

My predicament makes me both sick and wrinkly.
Well done la.

Sigh

Wearing too much make up

Surfing through pictures on Facebook,
I notice that half my world puts on too much make up.

I'm not sure if the relation between age and make up is exponential.
But from the way I see it, yeah.

Fake lash check
Heavy eyeliners check
Heaps of face power check
Heaps of blusher check.

that's daily make up for work and normal meet up events.
I wonder what's available for special dress up events which requires heavier make up?
Probably will end up looking like my entry picture above.
Are you guilty of wearing too much make up?

Less is definitely more in this instance.

I'm all for vanity, dont get me wrong.

and i'm definitely guilty of piling on heaps of make up.

Refusing to leave house unless I have the full set of war paint piled onto my face, but seriously... 

the heavy make up phase was mainly attributed to work and a little on salsa performance.
Spending almost an entire year working full time in Events after graduating, Make up was the necessary evil.
A job requirement, and also partly from the crowd that I mix with.
It all adds up into making me think more is always better.

After my encounter with bad skin a couple of years back, I repented!
Renounced on my make-up slathering lifestyle and use only the basic necessary.

I went through extremes, took apart everything that was applied onto my face, and slowly figure out what was the culprit that caused the breakout - which meant minimal skincare products and at some point, leaving home entirely with a naked face.

Prove that I went through a horrible horrible phase that even my mom refuse to acknowledge that her daughter looks so ugly.
Enlarged the picture for your viewing pleasure.

Boils and scars galore.
I swear I wanna dunk my face in acid, just so that the zits would erode away.


With that it was No concealer, No powder, NOTHING.
Just moisturizer and not even sun screen.
Awesomely ugly, but my skin eventually recovered. :)

I found out the cause of my outbreak - over exposure to sun, and guilty of applying body sunblock onto the face when I was in Bali. (I ran out of my sunblock for the face!)
Major fucked up mistake.
--

Presently, I still have remnants of fake lashes. a drawer full of it, and they are usually reserved for occasions like night weddings or photoshoots.
Same goes for face powder, only when necessary.
I learnt that it is important to let my pores breathe.

So what does Miss "minimal make up" advocate, now use before heading out?

Basic Skincare
BB cream *which I usually skip unless I'm heading out for some major sun
Concealer for the under eye
Gel Eyeliner for the lids
Pencil eyeliner for the bottom / or eyeshadow
Eyeshadow *depending on mood
Eyebrow pencil
Blusher

No mascara, no smoky eye, no fake lash, no primer, no powder, no bronzer.
As natural as possible.
After all, make up is used to enhance our features, not create a mask where no one would recognize you without it.

My Typical daily make up

You will look beautiful, so long as you feel beautiful.
Even without make up. (Just because I know how much uglier I could be, if I dont take good care of my skin)

Lol
Yes colorless and pale face with beady eyes.
I KNOW ok - i'm not oblivious to my very asian features.
Blah.

Cheers!
