I AM DYING.

In the midst of studying for finals, I happened to chance upon a youtuber's beauty channel and I want to buy so many things because she looks great in all of them!! :p


Curler on the left, waving wand on the right

Firstly, babyliss' waving wand! It gives a really different from a curling wand that I've been dying to try.. Just looks so beachy and different! I've always wanted their curling wands but it was so expensive, I decided to stick with my own since its still working well. But now that I've seen their waving wand in action I really want one for myself :'( It's such a pretty, handy tool! And I also want their 38mm curler. HAHA. Might as well buy everything from them at one shot. Anyway it's an investment, I curl my hair so often cause I really can't stand stick straight hair. It has no body, no movement, no nothing. SO YES. I'm getting (both of) you. Or could some kind samaritan get it for me? ^^


Mint green polishes. I've already headed to smoochiezz to cart some out. Who can resist, so pretty. xxx


On another note, all my cosmetics are finishing up at the same time! I'm left with 1/5 for my lancome teint miracle, and my most precious baby, diorshow 360. MY MUST HAVE!! It has the best formula out of all the mascaras I've tried, and it works to give the kind of non-clumpy, defined lashes really well. My only gripe? It costs nearly $70, which is a stretch. I can buy about 4 Maybelline mascaras with that price tag. A big part of the $70 goes towards their electronic rotating wand, hence the "360". The silly thing is, I don't turn on the switch for the wand to rotate when I use it. To me, that function is absolutely useless! I have much better control when I'm just using my hands.

That day, when I wore it to school for my presentation, my friend asked if I was wearing mascara, to which I replied yes. When she said wow it looks really natural, a part of me died inside and I'm like fuck, I must rebuy this!! I'm trying to use the mascara sparingly now, only for certain days when I feel like it's more worth it to wear out. I simply must grab another one soon.


Yes, I've finished blabbering. I'm sorry but I just had to get this out, I'm sure all you folks understand xx

So the semester is coming to an end! I cannot wait till exams are over, I get to party a little bit and then its off to the internship. Love dressing up for work, wearing heels and lunching or dinnering with friends / colleagues :)

I sometimes get calls from media people I used to work with and I find it quite embarrassing to tell them that I'm no longer working there, it just sounds like I got fired.. Haha but I'm really glad at the same time that these folks still remember me!

The thing about working is, you never have to come home and still deal with work. Granted, there's actually a lot of instances where I had to stay later to accompany some shoots or filming but once I'm off work, I get to go eat, drink, laze around at home. Reply the occasional work related on my berry (man I do miss typing on that thing, it was so awesome), but never did I have to pore over scholastic journals, dissect ridiculously complicated statistical tables or compile and edit never ending reports. Or prepare for presentations, talk to myself in my room and let my neighbors be the unwilling audience. Perhaps its just being in business school.. SO. MANY. PRESENTATIONS.

Its time like these, when I'm up at 5am in the morning, I ask myself "Really? Why the fuck am I still awake?" You know the kind of fatigue, where your head starts getting really giddy and it literally hurts to stay awake? That's exactly how I'm feeling right now.

My only motivation is.. all will end tomorrow, Friday 4.30pm!! I will be SO happy. Glad our french oral is over, preparing for that thing was a bitch. We actually got into a seminar room to practise at 2pm, and babbled to each other in french for 4 hours before heading to our tutorial room. It was insane!

I really want to blog more, but my world has started spinning, and dream world is beckoning.. Good morning you x

Dear April,

You've been really good to me (so far). I'm pretty sure I haven't gained that much good karma, but you've taken care of me anyway. The thing is, this month is really a pain in the ass. I've got tons of exams, tests, reports and presentations coming up, and the amount of sleep I've lost over them is quantifiable. Yet, amazingly enough, you've emerged and given me so much love despite all this stress.

Please keep it coming.



Yesterday, I held my breath. And you know what, I survived. And had multiple made my day moments. Just proves a little faith can never be too much, and that you.. might really be history. x
Fight.

Not with words or action, but with perspective and attitude.

Its the only thing left to do.

Chanced upon this amazing video done by Minsk Belarus, a russian timelapse photographer. In my work at MBS I had many opportunities to meet with photogs who did timelapse videos.. and it looks incredible on film but the hard work behind it often goes unnoticed.

So it made me appreciate this video more, but anybody would still be blown away by this footage. I liked the MBS scenes the best (esp the ending scene with projections on ArtScience Museum) and the night CBD ones. Enjoy! x
