Fake eyelashes Rox!

Yozzy Yo...

Haha. OK, so what's new...

We went out to eagle bar last night. It wasn't in my plan as I actually had a meeting today at 9am!!

But well, daphne was like "I'll put on fake eyelashes for you" and that actually got me going. I've always wanted to know how it felt like and how I'll look like. Cause I know ppl like Xiaxue, she just adores her fake eyelashes. I guess I just needed to see the what's the whole thing about.

And so... It will have to start with the makeup. Let's say thank you to qimin. She has perfected her make up skill on my face. *claps for her and me as well for letting her practise =p*

Next, let's move on to the fake eyelashes. Daphne was the one who put them on for me. Those of you who know we well, you should know I'm a total noob to this kind of things... haha. It's a tough job and I've no idea how long we took in total. After putting on the one for my left eye, I went and took a look at my reflection, I almost fainted. I felt like a korean barbie doll. And it was very very obvious. As in like, the difference between pre and post fake eyelashes.

The end product. Don't mind the ugly skin. Just look at the eyelashes. Haha

Again, Ignore the beer =D

Daphne and me. The person who put the fake eyelashes for ME!

Us in the toilet again... HAHA

After the whole thing, it's onto eagle bar for us. Now, after putting on such B-E-A-Utiful eyelashes, glasses is a big No-no. Therefore I went to the bar with no glasses at all. My whole night was a blur! The things I do for beauty.... Haha

Now I understand the whole thing about fake eyelashes. I realised that my eyes are very different. The fake eyelashes on my left eye was like going upwards but the one for my right was like going OUTward... I was like "Blame it on my parents" Haha. But well, it was nice! But it's quite a hassle to put on. The worse thing is, it will drop out after awhile, so you will need to bring your glue along. Mine stayed on the whole night though... Haha.

Well, I had fun. Even though it was blur and I kept having that constant fear that the fake eyelashes will drop out. Haha. But, what an experience!

Joee's Glowey Dom-dom

Hihi

Just gave daphne my URL... Can't scold her on blog anymore... Haha =p

Ok, what's new? Well, the last time I ended off saying that we were going to celebrate a friend's birthday. Everything was good except... MY FREAKING PRESENT DID NOT ARRIVE!!!!

Asshole.

It better come soon, or I'll freaking blast that website with countless of spam.

What's the prezzie? Joee's Glowey dom-dom. Not sure if you guys know what it is... but I reckon you all should know.

Was reading through all my previous entries. From the 1st post all the way to the most recent. Firstly, my blogging frequency sure haven't change. I'm such an infrequent blogger. Haha.

Another thing I realised was that, alot of things that I was bitching about in my blog, other than the major stuffs, the rest, I completely totally can't remember it at all. I can't remember who I was angry with and what happened. Geez... Short term memory.

But, though I'm an infrequent blogger, this blog, really did grow with me. From 1st year of nursing to working life in SGH and now, here in Aus. I've grown. While reading back, I started thinking back to our poly days. How we dreaded attachment etc. This blog, really helped to refresh my memory. How I felt during PRCP, how I felt while working etc.

Looking back at my working life, though it was a short 1yr 7months, I accomplished alot of things. I hated the way I was always 'thrown' into the 'big ocean' and forced to learn how to swim the hard way. I complained, I cried. I felt like giving up. However, I'm proud to be able to stand tall and face those memories cause I took every single shit life thrown at me, and I survived. As compared to my other colleagues, they took a longer time to learn. I guess it's just in me. The way I'll always complain and doubt myself, but never giving up without a fight, without knowing how far I can go.

Guess that will always be for I face life. Complain, doubt but never giving up till I gave my very last shot.

Better read my entry all over again... In case I said something I shouldn't have... Haha. Joking =)

One more thing while reading my previous post. Sarah, remember how I always said that I don't believe in happily ever after? Well, I don't completely believe in happily ever after, but I'm keeping a look out for it. My mum just gave me the green light to start dating =p

Night.

Thinking mood

Hihi,

I'm so happy with my blog skin. I changed it on my own... Yay! Finally, not having to rely on people to help me change my blog skin makes me feel so liberated =D

Well, after my last national day gathering, nothing exciting has happened. There's just going to be a birthday celebration tonight at 12am for someone's 21st birthday. Not sure how it will go... hope it will be good.

A piece of good news. I actually received advanced standing for bio this semester. I'm so happy. Not only do I save on the freaking school fees, I only have to sit for 1 paper at the end of the semester. Hooray! You won't believe the price for 1 biology subject for this semester. Freaking 2,407 Aus dollars. Should have thought of advance standing last semester... But oh well... Haha.

Went for my new elective lecture today. No longer doing 'Making sense of the movies' cause it really made no sense to me. I tried my hardest but well, hopeless. Anyway, I'm now doing this elective called 'Writing your own life'. Basically it's about writing. Though it's difficult, at least I understand what's going on. The lecture was on Memoirs. Writing of personal memoirs.

"How much is too much?"

"What's a taboo subject/s"

"How would you describe your 1st sensual/sexual encounter?"

Questions like these were asked during lecture. Well, it did get me into the whole writing mood. I never really thought of myself as a 'relationship' writer. I tend to like to merge friction and personal life together when I write. Or at least that was how I used to write. But ya... it was like a whole "neither right nor wrong" question and answer lecture.

Went outside to get a cake after lecture with my friend. There were so MANY cakes in that cake shop and every single one looked so NICE! We were like standing there for 10mins just deliberating on which cake to buy. Haha.

Well, still pretty much in the whole thinking mood today. All thanks to the lecture. Questions with no answer... or question with answersss.

But one thing for sure... I don't think I'll ever want to be a 'relationship' writer. Reason: I have got no clue what's going on. Things just got pretty weird around here. There's this guy and my friend whom we all thought had a thing for each other, but she thinks that another of our friend actually has a 'thing' for him too. Why do things like this always get so complicated? Haiz... Long story. First 2 not a couple but she goes to his room every night. The 3rd girl used to go to his room quite frequently but after she realized that there's a thing with the 1st 2, she stopped. Now that his birthday is here, these 2 girls are like totally putting everything in for this birthday... How weird can it get?? Geez.

Last question for lecture before we ended... "If you could ask one question, what would it be?"

I guess my question would be..." Is it still possible?"

xoxo

Happy National Day!!

Happy National Day peeps!! I know it's over already but well, just came back from a National Day gathering held by Singapore Society in La Trobe.

Let's start from the top:

9th of Aug is the National Day for Singapore. Though we are so far from home, every singaporean still remembers that today is our nation's 44th birthday. Therefore, a gathering was held by the Singapore Society in La Trobe to celebrate our nation's birthday.

The event started at 1945hrs local time which included registration and a speech by the president of Singapore Society La Trobe aka SingSoc. Me and my friends did not RSVP for this event, therefore we had to pay 15bucks for this event which consisted of dinner and live telecast of the parade.

2000hrs: The start of the long awaited dinner. Everything was perfect... well, pretty good. Can't really expect too much here.

Main Course

Hainanese Chicken Rice (Freaking Awesome!)

Char Kway Teow (Not too Bad)

Chicken Satay (Good!)

Fried Carrot Cake (Absolutely Horrible!)

Spicy Chicken Wings (Looks pretty good but I have no idea if it tastes good cause I didn't take those)

Mixed Vegetable (Average)

Drinks

Bandung (Yuck!)

Teh Terik (Yummy!)

Water (Better than Bandung. Hate Bandung >.<)

Dessert

Chendol ( Me no eat. Friends say too much coconut milk)

Now, what's a National Day Parade without the goodie bags? Well, due to some unforeseen circumstances, instead of sending 70 goodie bags over, the sponsors of SingSoc only sent 20!! Thus, in order to be fair, the 20 goodie bags were given away in a lucky draw, and.... *drum roll* yours truly won one!!! HAHAHA

Events leading to it:

President of SingSoc: We will now be giving out the 1st 10 of the goodie bags. Get your no. out. (mine is 032).

Me to friends: Oh... Look at the skydivers. Wonder how is it they ever land right where they are supposed to. (Background calling of 1st no.)

Friend to me: Ya... Wonder what happens if they land in the water. (Background calling 2nd no.)

Me to friends: *Lol* Ya, maybe they'll swim back to the parade. (Background calling 3rd no.)

My action after that sentence: Back to my food. (Background calling 3rd no. again)

Me: while eating...(background went '032' '032'??)

And I was like "did she call 032? That number sounds so familiar..."

Me: Look at my number... "Shit, it's me!!!!"

My hand flew up and I was like shouting "ME!!!!!" Unbelievable, I actually got the bag. =D

A few numbers after mine, another of my friend got the bag too. Unbelievable. 2 out of 3 of us got the bag in the 1st round. Of course, we started exploring what the bag had. Vouchers etc.

My Pink NDP Bag (Like the Lime Green better though =p)

The Bag can be transformed into that as well. Cool!

Goodies inside the bag: Vouchers, sweet, tissues. There's the heart shape light as well.

Upclose with the Mr Bean stick. Suppose to use this and hit the 'Hand' thingy for sounds =)

After the 2nd round of bag lucky draw, another of my friend got the bag too. 3 of us! We went in together and we all walked out with the goodie bags. How lucky! I won an extra Merlion Keychain (Above) as well cause I answered a question correctly during the quiz. =)

The Singapore flag that came together with the bag, is standing tall and proud on my bookshelf.

At 8.22pm (Singapore time) we stood up to say the pledge. Watching the whole parade from a place that's so far away from home, just makes everyone feel like going home. Watching it from home and watching it from a place away from home is a totally different feeling. You may be thinking "What's new about this year parade? It's the same as the last one" but for us, watching it miles and miles away from home, our thoughts are "Omg, look at the soldiers. Look at our PM etc" Suddenly, this parade that we have been watching for years, or for many of us who can't even be bothered to watch it back home, it just seems like we are just beginning to really WATCH the parade for the 1st time.

NDP songs that you can't be bothered singing, were sung loudly here. National Anthem and pledge that you can't be bothered to stand up to at home, we proudly do the opposite here. Watching a parade from a place away from home just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. Looking at the background of where the parade was held, brought back fond memories. It's just so amazing how much you actually miss when you take things for granted and when you lose those things, and get to see it again, you start to look at it from a different perspective.

You may not understand the feeling of being away from home. You may not be able to fully comprehend the idea behind every NDP song. But for me, after watching the parade from foreign land, I totally understood now. I learnt that, even though my country is just a small, red dot, we speak singlish, we may not have the freedom to do certain things or behave certain ways and we may have limited land, but at the end of the day, that's home.

The grass always seem greener on the other side. But guess what, I'm standing from the other side and I'm telling you, maybe you should just take a look at the grass on your own side cause it's greener. Whatever I have over here, you have it over there. But you have something that I do not have, and that is the company of family and friends. This world is huge and it does have alot of things to explore. But at the end of the day, everyone of us, no matter where we are or what we do, at the end of the day, we'll just want to go home. For me, I found my home and I can't wait till I can go back home again. Have you?

Happy National Day.
