Make over and up

Ohh yes, I forgot to upload this picture yesterday.
Grandma and my lunch made by me.
Doesn't the hot dog snuggling up in the warm-almost-oozing-out-cheesy layer wrapping of the prata just look so yummylicious?

Awwwww....

I spent the whole of today after church to do my make over. Yl came over to be my model. Heh... How brave!

So she spent the afternoon over at my place, letting me "torture" her in whatever way I deemed fit. She came in a t-shirt. It didn't match the look. Gosh... Had to think of something. In the end, I just lent her my shawl, to throw it over her tee and loan earrings to glam up the look before snapping away.

The good thing about taking such shots is that whatever the camera will be taking must look nice. Everything else which cannot be seen can be mismatched or something.

Hmm... K lah... Anticipating a busy upcoming week. So I won't be blogging that much. As for the makeover pictures, wait till I get all done and confirmed correct then I upload. Now isn't a good time.

Cake-o-holic

Slacking in the morning, waiting for grandma to be free. I needed her to be my model for my thesis. So after that I started. Grandma is quite a nice model, allowing me to do whatever I want. The only problem was that she hasn't applied thick full face make up probably since her wedding days? So she was definitely not used to it. When I asked her to close her eyes, she shut them very tight. Very cute. Haha! Then she was also not used to the fact that the brush was sweeping across her eyes. She kept on blinking. Tough job for me.
Anyway, I think I may have to redo. Sigh... Poor grandma will have to go throuhg the whole ordeal again.

Oh yes... Then we rushed of for Bro's advanced bday dinner at Magic Wok.
So these were the dishes we had.

In clockwise direction starting from left. Pandan chicken, Kai Lan, Pat Thai, Sambal Kangkong, Plain Rice, Green Curry, Baby Squid. Centre is Hotplate Toufu.

Dessert which was the birthday cake followed up. Birthday cakes are never completely finished. Well usually lah. There will be like few slices left and people will be asking each other to try to finish it.
"Hey, eat leh..."
"No thanks, I'm very full." Or, "too creamy." These would be the typical replies.

So anyway, everyone had their slice of this cake.

There was still a portion of it left. I had another small slice. Then stop! The rest must be brought back for bro and his gf.

I wanted another slice! The cake was just superb!
I'm not a person who would eat a second helping of cake unless its nice. But to want a third? It is that good! It was da bomb I tell ya! Da bomb!

I mean, just look at the layers...

The top white layer is white chocolate with a pulling effect (think pizza's cheese without the stringy strands)
Alternate layers of chocolate cake and raspberry mousse.
This cake has the melt in your mouth effect!
Goodness... Its heavenly can?

I'll take my leave to now... Go on, drool over the image of the cake floating in your head.

Advanced Happy Birthday to my Bro.

Mahjong Session No. 2

Went to school with Careni & Jordie. Finally managed to complete another look. Phew!

2 down, 8 more to go. During lunch, Jordie asked what language I speak at home. I replied english. Then she asked if I understood mandarin? Ha! Do I really give the impression I'm very ang mo pai? Anyway slacked a while before heading home.

Came home and bro's gf came over. She wanted to give bro a surprise after he books out. Then wait wait wait, he still wasn't back. Anyway had to go down to the kopitiam to meet Cf, Py, Vid & Ym for dinner. Heh... Meeting time was 6.30, I turned up at 7+ cause I was waiting at home with bro's gf.

Because of the delay, plans changed. Supposed to head over to Sw's place but they all ended up crashing at my place. It was mahjong session. This time we had more than 3 players. Hee...
I forgot a lot of the rules. Damn blur... Hahaha... Anyhow claim that I win the game at the initial few games.

I just realised I like to quickly win the game, only to find out that my move goes against the rules. Just like the ban luck game over the CNY period.

Sw's bf was like the pro who was coaching us how to play. But he explained chim rules and ways of gaming so fast in chinese, I catch no ball... Cf & Ym had to translate for me. Yes... They kept on laughing at me cause I'm the ang moh pai one.

Thank goodness we didn't play with money. If not I'd have to eat grass for the next week or two. I threw out a tile which could have cost me 30 bucks!

Luck was on my side after a while. Kept on gaming. Heh...

Quite a fun game... Especially when playing with a crazy bunch of friends. Its just more laughter to add on to the shuffling of the tiles. But I must say, its quite brain juice draining.
Py who didn't give a heck about the game initially suddenly became hooked to it.
Now, we're looking forward to session number 3. Just need to find a suitable time.

Traspassers Will Be Poisoned

I stayed home today cause I needed to cheong material gathering for my thesis already.

Wanted to make instant noodles for lunch. Wanted to crack an egg in. My goodness... Even at cracking eggs I'm such a noob! I was cracking the egg at the basin and the next thing I knew, my egg flowed towards the drainage hole.
There I stood, seeing the yellow substance with white gooey stuff flow away, still wondering how the hell it happened.
So yeh... This is what I was pondering at.

I still don't know how come I will crack the egg so close to the side instead cracking it closer to the centre.

The cheesecake I bought yesterday couldn't even survive till tomorrow. Haha! To think the lady had to tell me how long can the cake be kept in the fridge.

I'm damn pissed! Some traspassers invaded my property!
They left me no choice but to do this...

Initally killed a few by hand, then I decided to poison them once and for all.
Muahahaa!!!

1 little, 2 little, 3 little idiots.
4 little, 5 little, 6 little idiots.
7 little, 8 little, little dumbos.
10 little dumb idiots.
-Sing in the nursery rhyme "10 Little Indians"-

Well Scheduled Day

Dental in the morning. Never realised those tiny elastics could be so important. Dentist said my teeth were not moving in the right direction. Whoops...!
I took a turquoise colour. I like... Hahaa!

Lunch with godma...

Nasi Padang


Papadum


Chicken Murtabak


Ice Kachang


Shopping time followed up. Bought 2 trousers, each for $16! There was some major sales. I decided to upgrade my eyelash curler. Initially used a cheapo kind which served its purpose. But after I tried the one Shu Uemura, I realised the difference of cheapo and quality. Well you get what you pay for right? Damn true here. So I read the forum and there were lots of raves about Shu's and Shiseido's curler. Of course, I got Shiseido's. Now I can use and compare.

Bought some art stuff for my thesis and for the creative make over look.

Went for my facial after that. Got lots of volcanos erupting so the pain of squeezing them out was just dreadful. After that was good. I fell asleep while they left the mask on during the facial. So quiet and peaceful. Hahaa... A whole good 1.5 hours there.

Met Hj & Xl to eat at Cartel. They were wondering if I can finish my plate of baked macaroni cause to them, its damn cheesy, sure eat till sick of cheese. But surprise surprise, I managed to finish it without getting the nauseous feeling of eating too much cheesy stuff.

After that we went to this KTV and they decided to save money and sing in the hall area instead of choosing the small private rooms.

Our view of one of the screens away from the rest of the crowd.

So there were three tables, one kept singing dialect songs, one fully chinese. Our table was the half english half chinese.

Hahahaa!!

The Last But Not The End

Yeah! Today is the last lesson already! Wow... Its been like 4.5 months since I started. But then, its not the end yet cause now I gotta really cheong for my portfolio, thesis, theory and practical exam.

Goodness... I haven't found a suitable model for my portfolio. Everyone was like talking about it and its starting to get a bit worrying.

Thesis... Gotta do 10 looks, I've only done 1 cause another one didn't turn out so nice in the pictures. BOOOO!!!

Theory exam, I haven't really studied for it. But that can take a back seat for now. Rushing to search for suitable clothing and accessories for portfoilo.

Practical exam, can sit in the boot first lah.
Its on april fool's day by the way.<--KNS...

Met up with Py cause she was around that area.

Hee... I'm feeling quite high that I've finished all the lessons in my course.

My room has been invaded my ants!
No... Its not that my room has food remains. I think the ants are looking for a new nesting place after crawling from somewhere outside my dad's room, to my dad's room (got busted then) now invade my room after travelling the air con's pipe line.
Now its my turn to bust them!

Sheer Maddness!

Went to church, came back rest a while before heading off to meet Py at Bugis to change my top.
Shopping has never been such a dread. Seriously!
Since it was to exchange they don't give back in vouchers, so that means that I had to find something in the shop which I liked. But I didn't fancy anything. Those which I thought was ok, wasn't worth the price. And I had to find something over that amount so that I won't lugi.

I tried a lot of clothes, none to my liking. I circled the shop so many times that I lost count. Many times, I turned to Py and asked, "can you kill me please? Like right now?"
Anyway, after damn long, I decided to buy a tank top, but I gave it to Ym. I thought even though I like it cause its quite unique, I doubt I'll ever wear it.
Anyway I didn't expect them to allow me to change the top since the terms and conditions stated on the receipt was no exchange after item has been washed, no exchange after 7 days. I washed it but only called them on the 8th day. So it was deemed to be wasted.

Ohh, I also got myself a belt since the tank top was not more than what I paid for my top. Also bought a container to put my brushes when my portfolio and practical exam comes.

See how happy the kids are playing with water?

Would you let your kid run around in their underwear under the curious stares of strangers?

We came back to the kopitiam near my place to have dinner with Cf, Sw & Ym. After dinner, someone wanted dessert. So some wise one suggested we go 7-11 to buy small tubs of ice cream and cross over to the park and enjoy.


We dug in to our ice creams while interrogating one another. After that, Ym went to buy mineral water. So while resting and taking pictures, some lame one decided to say that a picture they were taking, didn't look like they had any feeeling. I think that lame one was me. So they suggested to sabo me and film lame videos after listening to Ym's ringtone.

Anyway, I won't show that video lah...
This is the more interesting one after some video editing and audio tweaking.
I love the slow-mo effect.



Oh ya... I felt guilty cause my butter fingers let Ym's hp slip through and dropped onto the rough floor. A lot of dents. Ym.. I'm so so sorry.

La-la-la

Met up with Hj & Xl cause we wanted to go KTV. Hee... I ate my favorite beef noodles again! The auntie gave me the liberty to add my own condiments. So I was like adding the kiam chai until she was like asking me to stop cause she said she doesn't soak her vege to remove the salt.

Then we walked around the area to kill time before going up. Haha! We managed to pass off as students. Anyway, we had from 2pm-7pm to sing. 5 freaking hours for 3 people.
For me, I'll sing half way then stop the song. Haha... Sing till song already then change lor.. Anyway english songs are mostly stupid videos of people looking at scenery, not the original singer and it just sounds weird. Then they will choose the chinese songs for me to sing, which is always standard cause I only know a few. Ehh... 2? Haha!

So while they sang their chinese songs, I was busy wiping out the titbits. Then get them to refill it but it can never last more than 5 songs.

I can do a pretty good impersonation of M2M when they were still hot. They were still young then, and sounded nasal. Hahaha!

After that 5 hours, we left. But I still can't come to a conclusion whether I'm tone deaf or not. Perhaps I am? I don't know. Hahaa... Maybe next time I should do a recording eh?

Had dinner with my relatives after that. The dinner was extremely oily! Every dish had lard. My gosh... The sambal kangkong was loaded with lard. I actually thought they were pieces of fried tou fu. Yes, its that big and that many scattered in that one plate!
Goodness! I can never understand how some people can sink their teeth into a thick layer of pui bak and still say it tastes good. Especially stuff like lard, its animal's oil fried in another kind of oil. Eeeeee.....
Then the other dishes, just looks shiny.

How come they keep increasing the price of oil used in the varies modes of transport but not for cooking? Maybe if cooking oil rises, food will be less oily.
But then again... Wishful thinking on my part.

Maddness

Went to school today to do the makeovers for the thesis. Eh... Sadly, I didn't get to do cause there were time constraints. Kini wanted to experiment on some looks but then couldn't get it so she tried another one and did made my eyelids from single to double. Was tough but after a while, she got it. Anyway, because drag too long already, no time for me to do. So she said monday will let me do.

Well, thats the disadvantage of doing the makeover on a fellow classmate. Gotta do for each other (fair exchange). Another person may have used them to do the same look. So when the teacher marks they may compare who did a better job.

Its definitely better to get friends who are not from the course. But sad to say, most of them are busy during the weekdays to go down all the way to my school.

Anyway, after that, went to meet up with my bro's gf. We went to eat at Swensen's cause there wasn't a queue. We wanted a change of seats cause we wanted the cushion seats. The moment we sat down, suddenly there was a long long long queue. Lucky we were few minute early.

I'm still very amazed where does her food goes to. In fact, I'm amazed by all my skinny friends who eat more than me. Much more! No kiddin!
I mean she downed fries, a cup of malt chocolate ice cream too and probably bout half of my topless 5 (cause I was full and was eating damn slow).
I only ate fish and chips (which I think has shrank dramatically, not that I eat alot. But I'm paying the same for that small portion) and the topless 2.5 haha...

Guess its the overworking metabolism they have. Haiz...

Anyway, does this picture resemble anything?


I was like eating my fish and chips happily when I looked at it and found that it resembles a dog. I wasn't intentionally trying to form a shape.

I decided to take my dog for a walk. My dog decided to lie down on the grass, next to a shrub; after it shat.

So the fish resembles the dog, the lettuce resembles the grass, the decorative parsley is the shrub and the fries is the poo. Hahahaa!

Get it? Get it?

If still can't get it, here is the outline of what I visualized.


Hahahahaa!!!

Blast The Music

Woke up to happy cause I love those gloves. Though I look like Minnie Mouse but haha.. Never mind lah.. Dad was baffled by the gloves when he walked into my room this morning. But I can't recall what was my explaination.

I was determined to stay home at all cost today so that I can get down to doing my thesis.

Blasted my radio damn loud! So loud that no matter which part of the house I walked to, I still could hear the music at a comfortable level. Of couse I wasn't in my room lah. I don't want to go deaf also. But it felt good lah! Hoho!

Wow... I'm amazed with myself. I sat there for like few hours straight just cutting out stuff for my thesis. Without even straying! Not bad huh??
I only breaked for lunch, which was fish fillets and a hashbrown. Tartar sauce never tasted this good! Perhaps its the brand?

So now I got a few more magazines to cut out from. Then I'll start to filter those I need. Must start to cheong a bit already. Got a month to complete it.

Have I mentioned that I'm hooked to the 5.30pm show on channel 8? Its one of those taiwan/china serial which is set in ancient dynasty times kind. I don't usually like that kind of shows cause some got those unrealistic effects. But this one is an exception. Maybe because its like the ancient eastern version of modern western CSI (Crime Scene Investigation). The plot is quite interesting actually. See how Justice Bao's rip off, Bao Zhang solves crime without the use of technology.

Which leads me to think, what if I am me, sent back in time to that era?
Perhaps I'll be given beating for defying orders.
Then, I think the king will sentence me to death the very same day.

Its like upon the arrival of the king, all must bow down cannot make eye contact and chant, "Huang shang wan sui, wan wan sui (Long live his majesty)." I'll probably be standing there looking at him and trying to make sense on why the hell would they want to kneel down if the floor is wet.
The king will get pissed cause I'm like acting rude. He voice will boom, "Da dan! (How bold!)" and order me to be whacked. Then his parrot, aka the eunuch will squeal (cause they are always portraited as faggots) to the imperial guards and repeat the king's order to whack me.
Then maybe whichever high rank officals who wanna boot lick the king would go, "The king is indeed wise."
By then, I would have probably realised that I should follow whatever they say when the king is around, will also say "the king is indeed wise" even though I'm the one being whacked.
The king will probably think I'm trying to act smart and order my head to be chopped!

Hahahaa!!! Ok, thats damn lame.

Retail Therapy

Was at home, the sky looked a bit grey. I'm hesitant whether or not to go to the mall. What if it pours? I don't feel like getting caught in the rain cause I know I sure won't want my new file and materials for my thesis to be soaked.

Lingered around, surfed the net, blah blah blah. Finally decided to go cause the sky cleared up.

First stop, Body Shop. Wanted to get the foot file which Godma lent me last night. Its supposed to smoothen the skin. After yesterday's scare on seeing how fugly I'll look if I don't take care of myself now, I was determined to get it. Hahaha! The skin is the largest organ, it should be well taken care of. The most obvious way of guessing someone's age is to look at their skin at several areas besides the face. No matter how they try to wear clothes to hide, there are always places which you can spot to guess their age.

I got my foot file, foot scrub. I was looking at this gloves thingy which is supposed to make hand cream treatment more effective. But my attention diverted back to the file. They asked if I wanted to join as a member for $10, a welcome gift would be a lip balm and I'll get 10% off my purchases including this initial one. So I thought, why not? After all I wanted to go Watson's to get a lip balm which would cost me around $3-$4. I'll be saving about $2 for my purchases and I'll probably be buying more stuff in future. Then they told me that if I top up to $30, can accumulate the rewards thingy. Hahaha... So I went to get the gloves.

Pampered myself with retail therapy to buy products to pamper myself? Wahahaa... I feel happy!

Then went up to Popular to get my thesis materials. I spent quite a lot of time there just thinking of how I should piece my stuff together. Till now, I still don't have an idea on how to design my cover.

To the optical shop to get my saline. Bought 3 bottles to lug around the neighbourhood.

Off to find a shower gel for myself. Was sniffing like every potential shower gel there on the rack but a lot of them didn't smell appealing to me. Carry the whole load of stuff already, I decided not to smell anymore. I bought back the one I have right now.
-_-... Waste time..

Went to buy dinner back. Yeah! The beef noodles stall is opened today. I like this stall cause they provide the salted vegetable for the added crunch. Extra kiam chai and tao geh. Nice!
Dad's fried rice had a mega-watt shine. Which is a bad thing cause its means its cooked in loads of oil.

Bought so much things today, ate good food.. Aaahhh... Bliss!~

Oh yes, today is Grace's actual birthday. So happy birthday to her.

Valentine's Day

Went to school today. People there seemed to be in a very happy mood. Perhaps caused its Valentine's day.

Anyway, was supposed to do one of the looks for my thesis on one of my classmates, but too bad, another classmate asked her first. So I thought it would be just a short while. But didn't know she was doing two looks. Everyone else were either paired up or not back from lunch. Started to do my eyeshadow colouring on paper. My first attempt at it, haha... Did two before showing Adeline. She said my colour blending was good but then I think I got the concept wrong. So she was showing me. Julia (another teacher) came looking for a someone to be her model for her special effects class. Asked if I wanted to become an ugly old lady for a while. Was not ready yet cause Adeline was still teaching me. Then Adeline asked how come I don't want to go? Is it scared of being ugly? Hahahaa..!! I said no lah.. I defintely should go and let her do it, at least scare me abit to see what I would look like many many many years down the road if I don't take care of my skin. Hahahaa..

So I went, sat there while Julia did the make up while teaching her students. They had to take pictures of the step by step so there was a lot of flash lights even though there were only 3 students for the day session class. My eyes were tired just looking at the flashlights.

I didn't know what they were doing to me. Or how the outcome would be like. But I just sat there quietly. Process took quite long. At least 1-2 hours.

My hair was made grey, I had pigmentation, double chin, wrinkles, frown lines, laugh lines, droopy eyes, EYE BAGS!!! You name it, I had it except for missing teeth. Which old lady wears braces? HAHAA!! Anyway, because of braces, I wasn't able to be the toothless granny. So I wasn't supposed to smile. I had to squint my eyes, force a frown and pout my lips.

So anyway, this is how I would look in say 40 years if I don't have a proper skincare regime.


Damn damn fugly! I know!! Hahaha!!!

Picture has been reduced to this small size and quality has been lowered. If I don't lower and reduce, it doesn't look realistic. Cause the make up is meant for a huge stage. So this picture taken is considered quite close. Spoils the fun when all the lines can be seen clearly.

After they were removing the make up, don't know who suddenly said, "aiyah... forgot to ask you to do a hip hop dance. Hahaha! Then it will look like the hip and funky granny."
Wasted lor... Why didn't anyone think of that earlier? My jacket I was wearing and the 3/4 pants can look quite hip hop. Just don't take my feet. Wearing ladies sandals don't look very hip hop. Should have worn my Puma shoes.

Anyway, I went to Godma's house for dinner cause Godfather is not in Sg. Had yummy chicken wings with pasta and some vege. Simple but nice.
Dogs are really quite sensitive to people's feelings. I was getting quite pissed with Maxie cause she kept on nibbling my fingers. So I glared at her and diao her. She quickly ran a few metres away and lay down on the floor looking up at me with those eyes which seemed to bear an apologetic expression.
Awwww.... Tell me how can I remain pissed? I couldn't. So I went over and played with her. She didn't nibble my fingers anymore. Smart dog.

Anyway, here's a shot of Maxie which I snapped when Godma was carrying her. I like this pic.
There's something about it this pic which makes it different from other pictures.
But I just don't know how to describe it.
Perhaps its the overall pose of Maxie looking really laid back? The eyes really connects to the camera and beyond.


Ohh yes, when I came back I showed my dad the picture of my transformation. Showed him one taken with Julia. The conversation was quite hilarious.
Dad: Is that your teacher?
Me: Yup!
Dad: Wahh... How come your teacher is so old?
Me: Huh??? Thats me lah!

He mistook Julia for me cause he is long sighted. So he probably thought that long hair no specs means its me. Hahahaa!!! My gosh!

Anyway, I think I look like a grumpy old granny who someone has owed 10 cents.

Senseless Surveys

Went to school, had lesson. Decided to start on my thesis. Finally! Hahah... So 1 look down, 9 to go.

Decided to come home an hour early. Wanted to sleep in the bus. Damn it... This woman who sat next to me had an extra agile head and body. Think of the waist as the axis, the body and the head as 2 seperate parts. The bus can travel on a straight road, and her body is like swaying from left to right to front then back. Her head can also rock 360 degrees. So I was sitting at the window seat on the right. She is on my left. Imagine this, her body is swayed to the left, head tilts to the right. Anyway, her head kept on hitting the bar of the seat, its amazing how come she still didn't wake up. Maybe she also has spongy skull. So anyway, it was quite irritaing lah! There I was trying to sleep. She kept on swaying and banging my shoulder. I squeezed in to make her avoid me. WAhh... Didn't help, that gave her more space for her acrobatic movements. Pissed off.. I started to nudge her away each time she leaned against me. Which was like once every minute. I know, a bit mean lah. But goodness sake, who likes a stranger to lean on them?

She finally got off, I was damn relieved. But reaching my stop also.. Darn it lah! Why always kena this kind of shit when I'm very tired and taking the bus from school. Always leh!

Then after I got off the bus at the interchange, I spotted those surveyors from the insurance company. I was already very tired and didn't wish to entertain their marketing gimmick. The one where they ask you to pick either a ball or a straw to get an instant prize? So I purposely walked outside. Then this guy had to approach me. Try to get me to do survey but I said I wasn't interested. So he tried to do small talk and pointed to my makeup bag and asked what is that.
I gave the -___- face and replied "my stuff lor."
Then he still can't get hint that I'm not interested. Carried on asking, "so what's in it?"
I gave the even more buay song face and replied "my stuff lor."
Wahh... He still continued asking. Is it makeup stuff?
Think my face was like damn "black" already. Plus the sun shinning in my face, with my eyes squinting, makes me look damn fierce and unfriendly. But I likeee.. Its especially useful when it comes to such people. Hahaha!!!
He carried on asking lame ass questions and I carried on giving single syllable replies till I reached the traffic light.

I don't understand how come the insurance companies still carry on doing this survey thing. If this is the way they collect data, its damn unrealistic. Their survey just requires people to fill in answers and don't have to do give details. So lets say personA is a person who loves doing surveys. personA's answers are always very positive to the company. Say personB is a person who hates doing surveys cause they feel very negative towards the company and their policies. personC loves doing surveys hoping to voice "opinions" out but doesn't like the company and has bad impression of company. So if A does a survey 10 times and B does it like once C does it 5 times. Won't the company give the results that out of 16 people surveyed, 10 agree that blah blah blah good stuff. Want to do real survey, should get unique people to do only once mah.. Whats the point of asking the same twice, thrice or more?

When the guy asked me what was in my bag, I so wished I brought my other duffel bag along. The one for my hair course with the fake head. So maybe I can reply, I'd have to kill you after I tell you. Then him being thick skin will continue to ask. Then I will say, there's a head in there... No body though. Left some of it in one of the reservoir, some behind some MRT stations, some in Mandai for the lions' next meal. You'll be my next victim since you continued asking about my bag's contents.

Last Call For Yu Sheng

So after coming back from the chalet, I was dead beat. Took a shower, dried my hair and just crawled onto my bed hugging pooh. Oblivious of whatever that was happening outside my room.
Woken up for lunch. Vegetarian food with salmon yu sheng.

Yu sheng was prepared by my bro's gf. Fwahh... She still know how to say those auspicious phrases. I never knew it lor.. Hahaha... Didn't know that plum sauce when added will make your life sweet sweet. Salmon when added will make you year year got fish. The pepper and some packet seasoning must open and poured in pairs cause its believed that good things come in pairs. Wahhh... I always just open one by one, anyhow put in without bothering to say those phrases.

After lunch, aunt stayed behind, asked me to pluck her eyebrows for her. My other aunt scolded her saying that I'm already so tired, why not still ask me to do such things instead of letting me sleep.

Hmm.. But amazingly, I suddenly got that extra source of energy. Plucking away carefully, then I decided that I should do a make over for her ma... At least can use in my project. But then, after that I was really pressed for time. Had to attend the evening mass at 5.30pm. So after looking at the picture, I realised my mistakes and looks like I gotta redo again cause I aim for perfection. Hahaha... Ehh... Ok lah, near perfection?

Grace's 21st Bday Bash

Back from Grace's chalet. I can say I'm truly truly tired.

Reached there around 3pm to do the deco.


The bday gal wearing her mask and waving her wand.


Me, Lynn & Ray resting after doing the deco.


After pumping up 40 balloons, 1 had a hole, 2 "spoilt" by me cause I wrote the digits '2' & '1'. Spoilt cause Grace & Lynn said I spoilt the whole metalllic balloon look with my ugly colouring.

Since they say my colouring not nice? Say I wasted 2 nice balloons? Say its better off burst?
Good lor... I decided to sabo the birthday girl. Made her sit on the balloon to burst it.
Muahahaa!!!
The video is actually damn hilarious lor. Got 2 clips of her screaming away but still unsuccessful with bursting it. This is how her balloon turned out. From an oval to ehhh... pear shape??


Then the 3rd one she finally burst it while screaming. Hahahaa!!!
But Grace said I cannot post it online. Blehh!

Then the afternoon heat drove us up to the room to play cards. Wahh damn nua when we played.

Ray went out to run some errands and came back with this...

Not the girl... The flowers lah. Haha...
Flowers for Bday + Vday = An ecstatic Bday gal & a heart-melted girlfriend. Hahahaa...

Food came and we were still the only guest lor.
Imagine 3 of her relatives made all the food. My gosh! They must be good cooks.

Bee hoon...

I know the pic here doesn't look very appetizing. Cause the bee hoon was in this long container, very hard for me to take in a nice angle. But it was actually quite nice. Especially if its drenched in curry. I didn't take a pic of the curry. I like the curry. Yum Yum!

Chicken wings...

I didn't try this cause there were just too much items to try already!

Half a chicken wing? Spicy style?

I don't know which part of the chicken is this. Only 1 thin bone. Anyway this was good.

Cereal prawns....

Wish there were more bits of cereal though.

Sweet and sour fish...

Sauce not poured yet cause I took the pic quite early. Just imagine the reddish colour sauce on top k?

Vege vege...

Supposed to have those oyster sauce over it with mushrooms and I don't know was it clams abalone or straw mushrooms. But ya, just imagine it there also k?
So much broccoli... All the Who Lives Near You neighbours. (Private joke)

Nuggets...

Picture reminds me of Mac's nuggets.. Hahah..

Fishballs & Taiwan sausages...


Actually there were still a few dishes I didn't take pic. The fried rice, wide variety of sushi, logan dessert, agar-agar, don't know if got anymore or not. Hee...

Lynn enjoying the food before leaving.


Then Hj, Yl & Max came. Slacked a while to wait for more people to come. But buay tahan already. The variety of food just too much. Hahaha.. Very hungry!
Xl & Yz came later.

The 3 of them...


The star of the night...

Star should be Grace right? But don't know leh... Seems like everyone wanted to take picture with the cake. After cutting cake then all zhao already. Hahaa..

Us with the bday gal and cake.


Bday gal spitting on the cake blowing out the candles.


So basically, 6 of us, me, Hj, Xl, Yl, Max, Yz were up in the room playing lame games lah.. Forfeit to eat sushi. After sushi we used fishballs, nuggets, sausages and even chicken wing. All were hoping not to get the chicken wing cause we were all quite full. So Max got the wing. Muahaha! Then that concluded that plate of forfeit. Next up was agar and watermelon. Then came the alcohol.. Bacardi coke. Poured the cup half coke half bacardi. All cannot take it, so gotta dilute it.
Think the guys got saboed till they were half gone. On top of that, after booking out from camp, even more tired. So we carried on playing. After that they decided to go home.

Left me, Hj, Grace & Ray to stay over. Me and Hj ended up yakking the night away. Yakked till we fell asleep. Wahaha... But it was freaking cold!

Busy Week?

Heh.. Haven't been updating this site for few days. Though I was online but I was busy surfing this website to buy some nail polish, doing my research and blah blah blah.
Its much cheaper to buy online than from shops in Sg. Online costs about $8.50/bot local shops sell minimum of $20 unless sale which is $18. Big difference huh? So anybody interested in buying the nail polish can contact me directly ya?

Monday & tuesday was busy having lesson. Learnt how to perm eyelash. Haha.. So anybody wants can ask me to do yeh? Outside people charge $35, but I'm not pro lah.. Still in the early stage. Need experience first so will be glad to have some practise?

Wednesday & yesterday was just staying at home, some tv, arrange my notes and stuff.

Today... Its friday already and Grace has not given us details to her 21st birthday party tomorrow. She thought that she did already. Blur girl...
-_-
Further chatting with her, found that she doesn't have any decoration.
What's a party at a chalet without any decoration? Somemore 21st birthday. The milestone in life where one should be addressed as an adult. Can apply HDB flat liao *Hint hint*. Can vote for whatever upcoming elections. Can legally buy R(21) movie tickets. Blah blah blah...

Anyway, went to buy the party stuff. Came up to 50 bucks!!! But $25 is just for her, the other is like for guest. Stuff like those sparklers, balloons and snack (door-gift).

Tomorrow gotta go early to decorate place. Hahahaha... Parttyyy time!!!

Ban Luck

Attended mass, was ... ehhh ... late. Collected 2 bottles of vodka from aunt. Whoo Hoo!~

Went back home to rest a while before heading out to meet Grace, Hj & Xl and visit Yl's home. Was pretty engrossed with watching some vcd of some serial. I was paying more attention to the black box then to what they were talking about.

Next stop was Xl's place. Played blackjack there, with money invovled. Played a few rounds, my brain started to screw up. Then came this round where I got an ace and a picture. Happily I knew that was 21 points already. Didn't have to take anymore cards. But I just kept silent until they asked if I wanted any. I politely declined. Then banker asked to open cards. I showed my blackjack. "Jessicaaaaa!!! Ban luck must say out straight away lah... Cannot keep quiet!" Ehh... I didn't know that. I'm not a seasoned player.

Few rounds later, I got another pair of cards. I got so excited! So I shouted "BAN LUCK!!!!" and slapped my cards down with that smirk on my face.
--Silence--
Then they couldn't hold it any longer. HAAHAHAAHAHAA!!! Was all I could hear.

One of them: "Jessiccaaaaa!!!! Hahahahhaa...!!!! 2 picture cards where got 21 points?!!?!? Hahahahaa!!!!"
I think my brain got short circuited for that moment.
Me still blur: "2 picture cards not 21 points meh? I thought one will be like 11 points?"
One of them: "2 pictures only 20!!! Ban your head lah! Hahahaaa!!!"
Then suddenly my switch was flicked back on and I realised my daftness. "Ohh ya hor...!"
But all could be heard were loads of HAHAs.

That was the joke of the day lor. They just couldn't let it pass.
Hahaha... My nonsence.

Anyway, too much to take already, we changed game. To another one which I don't know what is it called. Taught to us by the queen of gambling, Yl.

We skipped my place due to time constrain and grace's place cause she had to leave already.

Next stop was Hj's place cause her mum cooked. Then after that watched more tv before going up to play some card games, but no money this time. I was already penniless... Only got notes from the ang baos. Hiak hiak!

Since they all had to leave, I left and headed home with my folly still fresh in my mind. Hahaha... Couldn't help but laugh also.

Makeover & Popiah

I went to look for some medical solution to treat my turtle. Dad sent me to the nearby pet shop but they don't carry turtle stuff at all. They did tell me where to get it. So dad drove there and dropped me off while I explored that area infested with pet shops.

Found the medicine. Carried on walking around, looking at fish, dogs, whatever pet stuff I could see. Haha...

Came back to meet Cf & Ym for lunch. After lunch, they headed over to my place cause I am in charge of making Ym prreeety.

Started an hour late. Wasted a lot of time doing up the hair cause the hair tongs suddenly died. Rushed through the make up. Darn... Ended late. But I guess it was quite worth the effort. Hahah...
Check out my dear girl's drastic change. Wahahaha...

The 'after' pic is a bit blurry cause she was rushing for her D&D, I was rushing over for diy-popiah dinner at godma's place.

These are the key ingredients for making a roll of popiah.


Candid shot of me enjoying my popiah.

Somehow, food taste much better when using hands. Perhaps its the sense of touching at work.

Whoops!~ An unglam shot where all my food dangles out of my mouth.


Sweetest popiah of all time.

I had to drip a lot of sweet sauce so that Bro can take this shot.

Upgraded Home

Yeah! My turtles has got a larger tank to swim around in. Hee!~ A tur-lympic sized pool.

My poor turtle... Thinking whether I should bring it to the vet? Dad thinks I'm mad cause the cost of visiting the vet doesn't justify the price paid for this turtle plus to buy a new turtle.

For the sake of my turtle's weird growth, I decided to go out and try to find some thing to treat it first. I'll be the "vet" and decide what medication to treat it with. Unfortunately, the pet shop caters more to dogs, cats and other land animals. Aquatic pets range are only food food food.

Tomorrow... Shall go and find some other shops. =

Still sick but definitely on the track to recovery. =)
Voice still quite hoarse though.

I think my turtle, lil Jimmy got problem. Suddenly noticed a growth on the left side of his neck bout a day or two ago. Today it just got a bit bigger. Ohh no...

It looks a bit yellow maybe its an ulcer? Last night, someone was joking with me. Said maybe it is a pimple. Turtle going through adolescent stage of life. If the ratio of "pimple":face for my turtle is the same to a human, its one hell of a huge pimple. Can imgaine the pain. *OUCH!*

Anyway, washed the tank today. Played with them a little. Let them run on my hand like a threadmill. Haha... Left them to move around freely while I washed the tank.

Bro helped me take this shot... Actually I just need a shot of the weird growth to monitor it. But I decided to decorate it a bit.

Presenting Lil Jimmy...

Can spot the weird growth??

Next up, Squirt...

Other people walk their dog, I walk my turtle. Wahaha!

See what happens when I leave them to wander around??
They start to play hide-and-seek.
So there's lil Jimmy hiding in a very weird position.
Body slanted in such a awkward angle.
Hahahaa...!
So cute! Couldn't resist taking some shots halfway through washing the tank.

CNY Day 2

Relatives came over to my place on 30th Jan, the second day of CNY.

I was still feeling crappy. In fact, worst. I sat up in the middle of the night; hugged the dustbin, wanna puke can't puke. Yeh... I don't know what was I thinking when I was hugging the dustbin. Perhaps I thought that was my bolster? But why would I wanna puke on my bolster? Aiyah... Germs must have taken over my brain, they want to embrace more germs in the dustbin to build their empire.

Anyway, here are the food for the day. The spread may not be wide. But after two days of heavy massive eating, its time to slow down a lil.

Chicken Wings leftover from the reunion BBQ dinner.



Spicy Italian Sausage Pasta.
(Say it fast for 15 times... It sounds like something vulgar. Must be fast in order to catch the word, else, you gotta start all over again. Oh, and must say out loud or at least mumble it cause you need the vocals to work some wind. Thinking wouldn't really help.)



The powerful yu sheng which has the power to make people happy or sad.
A step by step illustration on how to go about making your own powerful yu sheng.



When everyone is done, then you can start to rush for treasure hidden within the powerful yu sheng.
Must be fast, Fast, Fast!! Look at the expression of my grandma and Bro after digging up the treasure.
Aren't they just happy?
Too bad if you're slow or unattentive. Take a look at my other bro's face. He is just sad and pouting away. Why? Cause he ended up with an empty plate and no treasure. Look at his eyes and chopsticks, I think he was about to hijack the treasure when Bro places it on his plate.







By the way, wanna know whats the vulgar word which the pasta will sound like if said quickly for 15 times?


Did you really say it or not?


If you didn't then why bother knowing?


Quick, last chance to say it... Remember, either say it out loud or at least mumble, thinking wouldn't make the sound come out.

Good, now that you said it, its time for the answer.

Did you really say it?


Muahahaa... I just made you waste your time and probably ended up looking silly.

If you didn't then good for you lor. You're smart...

Cheers peepz. =P

CNY Day 1

Wasn't exactly a great start to the new year. A damn roach came invaded the kitchen, Bro went to kill it and I was supposed to clean up. But since I was halfway through my manicure, I woke up earlier to do it.

Clocked only 4hours of sleep... *Zombie look*

Went to church then to grandma's place for lunch.
Sat around, waiting for lunch to be ready. Took a while but it was worth the wait.

Just check out all the food we had...

Top: Tasty chup huay soup, with abalone to go along, yummy-licious chicken curry
Mid: Ang boon bak, the whole spread, the best crunchy ngoh hiang
Bottom: Finger food (sotong balls, fried doufu and man tou)

Ohh... I like the effect of the words leh. Hahaha..
I created it myself after playing around with photoshop last night. The fonts are supposed to look a bit wavy. I was hopping it would give it a dreamy effect and you're supposed to read it like you're drooling. Haha... Err... Ok... Never mind.
Notice the way the word curves up like a smile? Yep... Thats b'cuz with food so good, its bound to bring a smile to the face. Well my face at least. =))

After lunch, we went over to Godparents' place. I think I got infected with my bro's flu bug. My nose started to leak in the afternoon. Starting to not feel very good. I ended up sleeping away on the sofa.

Went over to dad's bro's place for steamboat dinner. By then I was just feeling like crap. Didn't want to stay too long cause I wanted to head home to rest.
