// night class has started! :D

yay its mid week! two more days to TGIF!


schedule's packed and pretty tirin. from now, i'd be workin at mustafa every mon and tues, 12pm - 7pm and 12pm - 6pm respectively.. i totally dread the regulations there man. uber strict and rigid. stupid procedures, 100% absurd.


the crankiest one is: no bfs allowed. (i know I dont have one but ya, just laugh at it man!) sounds much more like rules and regulations from a maid agency right?


okay. enough of that borin place. bloggin to "de-stress". well, at least.. its in a shoppin centre, so irritants can no longer smoke near me! :D (unlike at far east sq, exhaust pipes are all ard man.)


but one thing's still the same: tikopeks exist everywhere. hate those lustful stares. *shudders* yes. pls do continue to keep me in prayer. God has somehow taken the one big tiko outta ma sight, the one who caused me great distress and nightmares.. no kiddin. ma mornings are normal agn over at far east sq now. *phew* thank God.. (and thanks to those who prayed for me!)



>> 2 weeks back at Central's toilet. :D


lol. clarke quay's Central is great shoppin place! went there on the 2 consecutive sundays. woohoo. intended to get ma corrective concealer palette from "the makeup artist shop", but to no avail. the thing was outta stock, plus ma first shoppin experience there wasnt v pleasant because i was being attended to by a not-very-professional salesperson.


but thank God i had good company that evenin. hehe! :p


>> the mini cube box! and thats a new notebook for maself. (to jote down daily events and things to do. tsk. extra storage space for ma brain..)



>> yay. cute stuff for the trioooo. the fact is.. we do miss karen. :/



>> yummilicious goodies from japan! theres a shop there sellin all sorts of japan-imported food products. shiok.. and the greentea pocky is heavenly lah! :D


i bumped into kerson twice on 2 different days, while i was rushin for work. thus we decided to meet up and do some catchin up on that monday night, since it happened to be his sudden offday. and for the very first time, i stepped into bedok princess' cinema, "the best cinema" (as quoted by ker) and we caught a movie, invisible target. starrin nicholas tse, shawn yue and jaycee chan. 3.5/5 stars.


owells. i guess action films arent really for me after all. the show isnt that bad, but all the fightin, bombin and killin really makes ma hair stand. (and er, cover ma eyes)



>> @ the coffeeshop below ma place. its been ages since we last met.. (:


woohoo! yay! night class has commenced! studyin psalms.. :D theres finally somethin for me to really look forward to every wed night now! rev teo said somethin tonight that really left me with a deep impression..


"how can you actually tell if theres something wrong with a christian?"
"when he/she loses joy."


for the lost joy, you'd realise that peace will, sadly, silently leave you too.


that was like somethin that struck me most tonight. it turned out to be sucha vivid reminder for maself. people tend to get too busy with their lives, lettin each day pass like how they think it should, without rememberin to give genuine thanks to God!


its just so true.. okie for now, just a cranky pic to end off this entry! hehe! :p

this is what i do when "exhaust pipes" are activated near me..


kazumi loves. (:

// urban pulse

heh heh. sorry for the very irregular blogging.


reckon im gonna be busier startin next week! but i'll try to blog when i've the time, inspiration and pictures. :D haha. i guess postin pictures always work. but ive gotta admit its one of the reasons that make me want to update less often. tho resizin and enhancin photos are fast, doin such for many photos isnt really so.. yet the irony is, i feel like somethin's missin if ma entry were to be only filled with words..


oh nvm me. just too tired.


on the sunday two weeks back, i went to lina's (adara colleague) photoshoot to help her do makeup @ her friend's studio; the colourful faces (www.thecolourfulfaces.com/) okay basically, her friend is lookin for a freelance makeup artiste, as and when needed. so i was there supposingly to show her ma skills. haha! kinda screw it up. because i displayed ma lack of confidence, tho i know i shldnt have been so. im not really scared that i cant do well, im just too stressed up by the fact that some pro is starin at me doin a makeup on her friend. btw i think lina's friend, lisa, is really cool. she's both a professional makeup artiste and a photographer! *awed* very talented lady.


i got to know new friends too. after that few hrs of hangin ard in the studio, i found lester (a freelance photographer there) to be quite a nice guy too. i guess i talked to him more because i realised he was previously from TP too! moreover, he's a brother in christ. (: he even got me in to work for this tamil awards event @ expo last sat, and in turn i got to know quite a few of his ntu hall mates. one of them even psycho-ed me to go for their FOC. i seriously would love to man, too bad ive got work.. ):


haha. anyways, i was helpin over @ this dance event, urban pulse, organised by SMU. pretty cooool. jazz, hiphop, modern, breakin etc. and heres a load of photos comin! *beep beep*


there were 4 types of makeup we had to do, but so far, ive only done the bronzey look and smoky eyes, plus basic makeup on guys. you'd be seein photos of some of the models i've drawn on. and i'll try to recall somethin abt them!

// hands granted by the grace of God..

i thought that the followin may be quite interestin..


anyways i decided to practise makeup last sat, together with anna, before my appointment with karen. i was pretty determined to succeed in tapin anna's eyelids beautifully, makin them look equal.. not that she dont have double eyelids. but the thing is, she has double on one side, triple on the other.


this is how anna's smilin eyes look like:




i took 40 min to do the full basic makeup fer her.. but i think ma effort paid off well.. here goes! :D it wasnt v easy tryin to catch the upper lid tho. lol.


>> alrite. it was ma best fer a first try doin tapin on others..



>> hee. glammm. :D (minimal blusher as requested.)


random photos!


>> colin's lil sister.. super cute right! like japanese wawa (doll)



>> mischievous clarence; colin's younger brother. the bruises on his left cheek were caused by a great fall at the playground. =.=



>> my lazy student, colin. he's a good source to train one's patience..



>> bread shoppin with dad; i just love cute bread and pastries! so happy looking! ^^





i was readin the book: learnin at the crossroads again. i can only thank God deep within me. whenever you are in pain, let peace fill your heart.


i can only seek for Your will to be done; for only You know whats best for me..
