Wake up to Make up
Who wakes up early to intellectual, purpose-driven ideals anyway?
Fine. we all should lah.
But come on! It’s Tuesday and I’ll party if I want to.
I dedicate this post to all girly girls.
Yesterday was fantasticos. Managed to catch up with Miss Chua for dinner and a bit. She told me about her NGO/NPO thing which i will be sharing with EVERYONE soon. BUT anyhoo….
I finally got.. Bobby Brown Longwear gel eyeliner AND! fiberwig. Does a cosmeticised face look awesome or WHAT. *throws confetti*
Go on. Judge me. I dare you.
SO. Charm was asking about what make up I use.
In the spirit of sharing, here are the staples:
- Guerlain for Foundation, Pressed powder and Bronzer
- Benefit’s FY..eye!
- YSL’s Touche Eclat
- Shu Umera’s eyelash crimper
- Red Earth’s blusher
- Mac Brow Shader
- Tweezerman Tweezers
- Lip and face moisturizers come from avene and roc.
- And all fancy eye shadows and paints usually come from mac.
- Aand a nice mac brush set (OOOH! check out this fall’s set. so nice in green. damnit. mine’s damn ugly)
- AAAAND my new things!
Very exciting ok. Make up is a very complex business. How did I choose each item? What are my emotional benefits? Or is it purely functional? SO MANY choices. but. THERE IS ONLY ROOM FOR ONE ITEM for each product. SO there. Each has its story. Ask me why. I promise to be damn drama.
Moving on to more random flashes.
Come this 27 august….
Comes…. THIS!
And…..
PAY DAY!
*throws more confetti*
Even MORE blonde updates! (will this madness ever end?!)
6 minutes to the end of downloading another episode of.. THE HILLS!
ok.
I BEG your PARDON for all this nonsense.
I had to write a blog entry for the COMPANY’S blog(kena sabo), and exhausted all my possible power (heh, power.) to it.
What’s left is frivolity! Tons and tons. like XH’s frivolity to the power of infinity!
OK. I’m out.
Hills time!

Today she asked me,
“Do you believe in what you’re doing?”
As an encouragement to her,
and to myself, I replied,
“Yes, of course I do.”
She left me to my dinner, however the question did not.
Do you wake up each day, as if it were on purpose?
Do you believe that your boss values your work?
Do you feel like throwing a chair against the wall every day?
Do you believe in what you do,
or are you hanging around just to be bitchslapped one day,
to find out it’s all just make believe.
I’m not tired,
Just very discouraged.

Too cool for school.
If you walk down the school’s concourse, you’d see a stretch of noticeboards where different faculties make every effort to display their most current notices, events and pictures. That’s when I saw our business school’s board:
and that’s one of the few things I’m gonna miss about this school.
NONCHALANCE.
And, you know, the power of making bullshit look so good.

Who are these people!
Such is the power of Facebook.
Amidst the entire identity theft/privacy/ethical issue with FB, such is the power of Facebook.
I was linked to my PRIMARY SIX BATCH OF KIDS?!
Unbelievable. Why were we so ugly and when did we start looking cooler. Who is that yandao. I never knew she was SO talented. I never knew he could be so cool. When did she get that English name?! Is it even English?
Such is the power.
So that’s how batch NYPS/1997 rolls.
Cheena power.
Absolutely cannot wait for a class reunion.
Indeed, all the losers will have turned into our bosses.

Cross Referencing
Any musician-newly-turned-diver will tell you that multitasking is a challenge we must all overcome.
Think back to the days when we first started out. Think about how hard it was to play alberti base with your LH, the melody with your RH and pedal with your foot. Or coordinating your hands and feet to work the snare, HH and kick.
That level of multitasking. That level of concentration needed to split your mind into three parts to do separate but equally critical activities.
And any musician will tell you that there will be a magical moment when your body suddenly decides to work together. And when that pleasantly surprising moment hits, there is no stopping to celebrate your success, for you might lose your momentum and might have to start all over again.
And that was what I encountered two weeks ago in Tioman during my first open water.
Peeing, finning and breathing all at once is NO EASY FEAT.
You try to pee, you stop finning-You drift away.
You try to fin and pee, you stop breathing-You um, like die?
It’s tough lah. But then a magical, truly magical (eh pissing in the water is a magical thing ok) moment hits when. You start to pee and you force on finning and breathe. Fin girl, fin. Breathe girl, breathe.
Such concentration and commitment to the cause.
That. And when your instructor keeps calling himself out of air just when you’re about to empty your bladder (the biological one). And you have to find your pace all over again.
Til the next dive! Hooray!!

Cool Runnings
It has been a year. Such pain. Revisited.
But with a lil encouragement from Sylvia, we ran today together for a good half an hour.
Oi. one year leh, try cardio after one year of inactivity.
*Throws confetti*
Just before my legs gave in, she started playing the category game with me
“Brands that start with C”
“Brands with orange as the corporate color”
“Emerging Chinese brands” (tough one)
And 30 mins came.
yay! ingenious. how sweet of her.
And this sat..
Golf!

East eats West
The folks at Harper’s Bazaar Sg were very consistent with this month’s issue with the key focus on Asian luxe.
I applaud you.
Frankly speaking, I’m really impressed how they have covered how Eastern culture influences the global luxury industry and how the other EU folks are responding. But most importantly, I’m blown away by their Singapore photo shoot. The photographer made East Coast Park public showers look sexy. Enough said. Plus other related articles celebrating our local creative and fashion industry.
Me thinks that they know that in order to convince people to accept a made-in-asia label, or celebrate Asian skin, it had to start somewhere. Great initiative. I wouldn’t say it’s a complete rip off from the Vogue Italia all black issue, it done up pretty subtly - like it would have in any month.
Oh well. That’s the two cents for Tuesday.
Haper’s Bazaar, August 2008
Check it out.

I’ve seen this site quite a while back.
But a rather demoralizing week makes it DAMN FUNNY.
