Q&A sesh

I'm in the mood for questions, so ask away !

心机

有人说 “有心机不一定是坏人” 但是，没有心机的人也不见得是好人。

我们都一直以为单纯没有心机的都不是坏人。但翻开报纸看见的犯罪常是一些没有计算后果，没有任何计谋，就只有为了自己的目标而做出了违法的事。这些不去计划，没有心机，非常单纯的人都是好人吗？

那么这些步步为营，咬紧牙根努力争取自己幸福的人，就应该因为心机很重而被归类为不单纯，需要小心对待的坏人吗？

真是发人深省。

LEOPARD PREENS NAILS !!

I'm on a Seafood Diet. See food & eat it.

Strain the tub Clot the streak Cock the wheel Push it deep

Just caught Xiaxue & Mike's solemnisation on Clicknetwork.tv

I WANNA GET MARRIED AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER TOO !!

Lol i know i'm like damn slow, but sorry uh, yours truly have been busy preparing for my prelims. Speaking of which, i'll go mad crazy whenever i think about my prelims. Last year, i slacked way to much so i truly deserved it. This year, i mugged hard, yet i still go all blank when i turn the questions over. WHY LIKE THAT ?!?! &;#*$%/^@&!

On a lighter note, came up with a To-Buy list (yea i'm totally in the mood to spend some kachngs) so take a look and comment it i should make these babies mine aye ?

1) Flora Tube Maxi from Zara

It's a teeny weeny loose for the flat-chested me (LOL !!) but i guess tape would do the trick ?

2) Canon PowerShot S90 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

3) Blackberry 9700

4) A Feather Tattoo

Okay. I've no guts la !!

Breast Enhancing Ringtone

I'm not sure if this is fo'real but Hideto Tomabechi - A cognative scientist that studies the mind and artificial intellegence has developed a ringtone called "Rock Melon" that he claims that it could increase a female's breast size through a ringtone that is based upon a crying baby and when listened to for 20 times a day for about 10 days, a female’s bust will grow by at least 2cm.

Wonder what's gonna happen if it's guy that listens to it for more than 20 times a day. Click here for the broadcast on YouTube & here for RockMelon

It's that time of the year again !

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been extremely busy mugging for my on-going prelims since say, mid Feb ? And i've pretty much lost the vibe to blog anymore. Had my Macro paper last Thursday and despite starting early (and i mean really early) i still could not finish all 13 chapters and went into the exam hall when i'm only familiar with 2 chapters (LOL!) But heck, i'm not mugging for the prelims - it's the exams that i need to score for. Rushing's not gonna do my transcript any good :D

Anyway, today's Sunday which means that it's time to hit the books again ! Been planning to rest over the weekends but i got a wee bit busy with MissFayne for the past 3 days so my supposedly rejuvenating days made no improvement to my "health" at all.

& before i go off, happy twenty-third Desmond.

Stressed is desserts spelt backwards

I've sat for more examinations than i care to remember throughout my student life.

So why do i still feel so jittery about them ?

Googled for ways to beat those exam stresses and here are my top finds for keeping stress level at its minimum.

Avoid stressful people.

Stress actually is contagious. During exam week, resist the urge to have a study session with your super-tense friend, especially if she’s complaining about all the work she has to do and breaking pencils all over the place. Her stress will only add to your stress.

Eat healthy and exercise.

This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s a wonder how many people forget it. Skip the sugar, which will make you crash, and go for snacks like granola bars, healthy cereal or fruits and veggies to keep your blood sugar stable. If you’re studying for a long period of time, eat some protein too. Also, try to get some form of exercise. Even a 10 minute walk will leave you calmer and more focused.

Just say NO.

I don’t mean to drugs, although I’m not recommending them or anything. What you need to say no to are the people who want to take up your time. There will probably be a friend who needs to talk to you for hours about her life, or a keg party the night before your final, and if you say yes, you’ll probably be tempted to blow off studying. Resist the urge. Say no to the distractions and be selfish for a day. You want a good GPA, right?

Force yourself to take breaks.

For every hour or so that you work, take a 10 or 15 minute break. Let yourself do whatever you want (check Facebook, check out that guy sitting nearby, stare off into space, etc.) for those 10-15 mins, then start working again. This gives your brain a little rest and will help keep you more focused when you are actually doing work.

Visualize it all going right.

Sounds kinda nuts though. Imagine yourself taking the test and feeling confident that you know all the information. Picture getting all of the answers right, and focus on how relaxed you feel. Then picture the A on your test paper. When you imagine a happy ending, that’s often what happens, because you make the decisions that lead to it without even realizing.

If you’ve studied all you can, get up your confidence !

When test-time rolls around, it’s time to get yourself into confidence mode. You’ve prepared as much as you could, and now it’s time to ace the test. The tip here is to do whatever works to convince yourself you are going to do really well. Again, I know this tip sounds a little crazy but you just have to try it for yourself. I think you’ll like the results.

Out of these 6 tips, how many have you mastered ? For me, i had done ONE (suk ain't no stressful person)

Nobody

nobody, not even the rain has such small hands

R.I.P MCQ

A true talent and visionary

Pretty pretty nails

GMH - life if beautiful today

when my sister was younger, she came home from school one day and demanded that i take her to the library so she could get books on sign language.

i asked, why? she told me there was a new kid at school, and was deaf and she wanted to befriend him.

today i stood beside her at their wedding, watching her sign "i do". -- GMH

Finally,

good skin day !! (excuse my sqaurish high forehead though)

Skincare

It's been almost 3 weeks since i first spotted patches on my face. And few days ago, i realise that the patches had sorta stopped surfacing *touchwood* I don't know what i've done/ate to cause the photosensitivity, neither do i know what i've done/ate to subdue this demon. All i knew was, i started on a massive skincare regimen since the 14th and there isn't any visible results till like few days ago ?

So here's what i've been doing.

14 JAN - went for my usual bi-monthly (inserts guilt face) facial sesh and bought an Aquatherm Recovery O2 Pack, to add-on to my usual facial treatments. The O2 Pack was recommended for sensitive and reactive skins. Note, this was before Yuki and i knew i've got sunlight allergy, so kudos to Yuki for the spot on !! Oh by the way, the O2 Pack was said to soothes and calms sensitivity, alleviates rosacea and redness, strengthens the skin from environment and prevents premature ageing.

I know of many beauty therapists who hard-sells alot and enjoys "cheating" us into buying their products but i've been with Yuki for years and all these while, she's been recommending me the most basic/cheapest deals cause she said i don't need any additional features as yet, so i knew i had go for the O2 treatment if i wanna have a decent complexion by the Chinese New Year.

Unfortunately, the patches are still as bumpy and red after my first O2 sesh but one thing i know for sure is that the patches don't itch and flake that frequent anymore and i suppose that's good for a start ?

And the following, is basically my daily skincare regimen:

In the Day:
Cleanse - Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel
Tone - Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2
Mask - Clinique Pore Minimizer Refining Mask
Suncreen - Dermatologist's housebrand

I used to switch between the Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel and Bio-Essence Tanaka White Gentle Cleansing Foam on alternate days cause i thought the Tanaka White worked pretty well for me too. Until recently, i realise that after cleansing, the skin feels a tad too taut and i could prolly hear the squeaky sound when i wipe my face, no joke !! So i guess i'll just stick to my loyal Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel (:

In the Night:
Cleanse - Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel
Exfoliate - Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel
Tone - Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2
Mask - My Beauty Dairy Assorted Masks

I've been hearing lotsa raves and wanted to try out the exfoliator from Cure but it's just way too expensive for an exfoliator luh. Would be triggerhappy if anyone could get me that as a gift ! Watsons' selling it ! LOL :D

Oh by the way, in case your're wondering, yes i mask twice a day, everyday. I don't know if this is good or bad but i love the aftermath feeling that the MBD leaves on my skin. Too bad none of my friends are in or going Taiwan anytime soon. Else i'll make sure they lug home a dozen boxes of MBD home for me.

Okay. I guess i'll need to stop. Lunch time and i'll need to hit Sociology once again ):

oh soooooo yummy, yet so un-huishan, lol

Not in the best of mood

Red patches kept surfacing on my face (to be exact the left side of my face left cheek, right cheek and forehead) recently. The photo above doesn't quite show the redness and seriousness and but in reality, it's really red and puffy and huge ! They itch, they flake, and they are extremely dry and wrinkly looking. I'm crossing my fingers that it's not Eczema cause i already had an awful time fixing my previous first ever acne outbreak and now that it's finally cleared and the scarrings are almost gone, i get such red puffy patches on the cheecks and forehead.

(edit)

I've finally consulted a Dermatologist and i was said to have Photosensitivity. Initially i thought it was being sensitive to photos which didn't make much sense, and upon clarification, i burst into mad laughters.

pho⋅to⋅sen⋅si⋅tiv⋅i⋅ty  /ˌfoʊtəˌsɛnsɪˈtɪvɪti/ [foh-tuh-sen-si-tiv-i-tee]
–noun
1. the quality of being photosensitive.
2. abnormal sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet light, usually following exposure to certain oral or topical drugs or to other sensitizing chemicals and resulting in accelerated burning and blistering of the skin.

I can't believe that yours truly, a swimmer (back then), is now allergic to sunlight.

& so she says

Haven't been blogging much of late. Had an absolutely awesome time slacking since i had my wisdom tooth surgery. Teevee-ing, prawning, missfayne-ing, cougar town-ing, the vampire diaries-ing, sleeping (inserts an extremely guilt-face) Seriously, i so need to adjust myself back to school mood. Alrights, here's some proper updates, in no specific order.

1) I gave my mane a brand new makeover

Did my hair at Ikon last Saturday. Spent half the day at the salon for a new cut, a new colour, and a relishing hair treatment. Pampered much, no ? And oh, did i mention that i totally dig the chicken-salmon teppanyaki lunchbox that the-special-boy ♥ bought for me ? Switched my side-swept fringe for good ol' bangs (to match the cheongsam, haha bullshit i know) and bronzed up my hair. Totally dig my new hair but i'm starting to miss the old length though. No after-photos After-photos can be seen at my shop (:

2) MissFayne has updated (:

cny part 2: click here to view the full collection !

3) Partnership issues/ Delay in shipment

Had some issues with the progress of the stocks and shipment. Promises made are not kept to, leaving with me "a whole lot of backside to clean". But anyway, there's some slight progress and hope that the shipment will still arrive on time as scheduled and promised.

4) Test shoot for Ikon

Okay, enough for today. Will blog soon again (:
