Sunday, September 30

Months ago, i was contemplating how am I going to make friend when I go to uni w a stuck up face/attitude like mine. but turns out im soon to complete the 1/3 journey(hopefully). this 3months or so I'm so glad that I met a few fun to be with people and am grateful to be having them for the next 2/3 of the journey laughing and doing nothing in lectures together. till my exam ends...

will try to update after my upcoming trip to tioman w the friends :)

I have never been the best at keeping a friendship going. I have always thought of just cherishing the other party on my part but have never thought of what the other party wanted. Many times I had to bite my lips really hard and loose my grip to let go of the few whom are just not meant to be. Remember, I am not great I really cherish every single one of you with all the love my heart could give. I hope for the best for the ones who left and thank the ones who remained. Always remember friendship takes 2 hands to clap, I will not be the one waiting for a response no more.

Happenings

I haven't been on the comp for sometime & hadn't even realize that blogger has a new interface.
that's how long it really is, i realize the more we grow, the more responsibilities we carry which will then mean less 'me time' to blog & grumble like that past.
anyways, little updates about what im currently up to ^.^

My RP journey has close its last chapter w my parents & my love present on my graduation ceremony.
I have met many lovely friends in RP whom i wish to stay in contact for a long time.
I thank every single one of them who bring colours to my life & allowing my laughter to irritate them time & again. Very thankful to my last semester classmates 'jejus' & not forgetting Stacy as well as 'MFK' you people brought so much joy & laughter to my boring life. Love all of you <3
I am now ready to open up my new journey to life @ SIM but i'll never forget anyone of you, may our friendship last :)

I quit my sales job, it really isn't the line for me as much as im good at bull-shitting, i don't really fancy long standing hours, i am the 'sit in office, know what's gonna come next' kinda person.
I am also happy w my job at Singapore Pools, call centre prove to be a really easy task, at least for me!
That's probably work for now till i graduate successfully from SIM. till then :)

At the same time, im thankful to have really lovely friends whom I can spend my weekends with while the boyfriend is away.
I want to say big thanks to RQ for introducing me to his friends..

I can't express how much joy they have brought me & how much bullshit they create at times.
I truly love & treat them like part of me no matter how rude they sometimes can be.
Not forgetting kamy whom is one of my favourite girl from the group, as many knows i don't really get well w girls, as much as we quarrel, we still enjoy bitching & scolding one another sometimes.
Thanks a million for having them in my life! not forgetting my primary school dudes & baobaos

Lastly, a big thanks to my boyf who's always been there for me.
I can never express how much I love you through words & how thankful I am to have you in my life.
I may not be the most hardworking girlfriend, or the sweetest to be exact, but I promise to be the one who always catches you if you ever fall & support you in all things u do (except drinking).
Love you always.

Sorry for my lengthy post! :)

There are friendship whom I have put in way too much effort trying to salvage.
Some of them thinks im difficult to communicate with, they may think a weekly mahjong session isn't something to keep the friendship close.
To me, playing mahjong with them is a chance to get to see them, while i can hear them chat about the different things they experience in the army, but not many appreciates my effort.
At the same time, I have even tried to make friends w the girl whom i quarreled w during secondary school, certain people will never let 'bygones be bygones' it might just be a girl thing, cause if i was the one who got ignored by my friends, i would have feel the same too.
I tried to make friends w you, not because i am your fan, i just dont want to make things difficult for others, I am not you so please do no comparison between me & ur evil self. Always bear in mind & think why do people treat u this way before u start to put blames on others.
Some people may not understand how much I treasure the friendship, I may be seen as sensitive, but none of them has thought maybe they were too insensitive to how I may feel. I make no effort to call or text them bcos the more i do, the bigger my disappointment gets.

Criticism

Saw this saying online.
"Try not to take things too personally, whatever people say is a reflection of them & not you."

How true..
Thinking of sometimes when I speak of others I might also apply to me & I might just be jealous of them too...

Every girls dream ...

It is every girl's dream to have a flawless complexion.

I am just one of the few active ones

like many others I have tried many different products ranging from the cheap ones to the more costly ones.

I have to say that its more of a psychological factors that makes people thinks that the more expensive products always works better, though at times it really doesn't work this way.

For all girls sake, I want to share my all time favorite beauty product!

1. Himalaya Neem Facial Wash

This product has been my companion for more than 3years, it really works well for me.

I go for facials once every 3 months or so. I started using this product as my facial artist told me that I should look for more gel-base products as i'm prone to having clog oil glands (which is those little tiny bits beside your nose bridge).

The facial wash contains tumeric which is a spice used in most indian food, at the same time it is also a good ingredients that will help get rid of your acne. (takes many wash to see the results) at the same time this product is really affordable. You can get it easily for less than $10 at any Watson/Guardian.

2. Hada Labo Hydrating & Whitening Lotion

Toner is one of the few must-have skin before moisturizing.

I tried BodyShop Vitamin E Toner but it's was too oily & sticky

I tired Garnier apple toner but I think it has too much alcohol content

Thus, after seeing Hada Labo's advertisement, I decided to give it a try.

I think its wonderful, it isn't oily, isn't sticky.

Plus, you really just have to apply it according to what's shown on TV.

Pat them onto you skin for it to absorb, DON'T rub in.

They have many different types of lotion, so chose the one that suits u.

- Hydrating Lotion

- Hydrating & Whitening Lotion (the one i'm using)

- Hydrating & Firming Lotion with Collagen

Can be obtained at any Watson/Guadian @ <$18

3. Bodyshop Vitamin C Skin Boost Serum

I have tried several moisturizers like Neutrogena gel moisturizer, Garnier Essence, Laneige Skin Serum, EL-Elohim Serum (from my facial shop, which i'm still using)

But the bodyshop one is really one of the best!

Although I really love the EL-Elohim one from my facial shop, but it's too costly for a student like me. It's $120 for a bottle, I can't bear with such cost.

I got a sample from Bodyshop for this Vitamin C skin booster Serum, I tried them while I was in Thailand. I love how the texture isn't like all the other serum, it isn't sticky, feels abit oil-based and is easy to spread on. You only need a punch everytime.

Usually some moisturizer will start to make my face really oily after 3-4 hours.

But this Bodyshop one really works well for me.

You can get a sample from Bodyshop to give it a try before you buy them.

Get them at any Bodyshop outlet @ less than $50 for a bottle.

4. Clarins Ecran Multi-Protection Sunblock SPF 40

Dermatologist suggests that everyone used a sunblock with at least SPF 15.

Chose one that also provides protection against UVA & UVB

Apply sunblock generally 30mins before leaving your place or before sun exposure.

Well always avoid direct exposure to sun during 11am - 3pm where they are the strongest!

refer to this website http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/sunscreen.html for more info.

After trying several different sunblocks like Biore, Avene etc.

I highly recommend the Clarins one.

Sunblock are always sticky as they contain SPF & they are generally smelly or has some swimming pool smell. HAHA!

So this Clarins sunblock really surprise me!

it has a powdery smell, it is smooth when applied & does not gives me a sticky feel throughout!

Plus, it contain Ecran some kind of melon that is a natural fruit extract to fight against sun-rays.

Available at all Clarins counter @ <$75

PS: all skin care products works better for different people.

This are just my suggestions! Hope they work well for you too :)

bits & pieces

haven't been finding time to clean up the cobwebs here...

blogging hasn't been really my thing ever since i went for internship, or prolly it wasn't really my kinda thing from the start?

well, im glad that internship is coming to an end in another 11 working days. i really can't wait!!!

i won't say internship is boring because at least i get paid for not studying and doing easy jobs, but it really depends on the company & your colleagues, in this case to me its supervisors! she's like one hell of a black face everyday you see her, it just isn't motivational enough for me...

time do flies without us even realizing it sometimes, and my boyfriend is going to leave me in October for Brunei for a whole year. i'm trying not to stay so attach as i know i am going to have a really hard time adapting when he isn't around. but who knows right? i might someone else i think is better for me? though my boyfriend is currently the best i ever had. *laughs*

on a side note, i do have awesome awesome friends with me...

will be back to update soon when i have time :)

May 2011

it's been months since i last updated this place, everything that happens seem so vague to me.

many things have happened in a stretch of this few months, i started my internship @ IBU call centre, its really a boring job to sit there & just answering calls listening to all the rubbish from the customers. at the same time, superiors were not encouraging enough, it doesn't serve as any motivation for us though. i can be @ the top of the call list but still gets a bad rating. upset much!

work aside, heres some pictures of what happened last few months...

Michelle (Roy's gf) 21st @ NSRCC

Rq's lovely new dog! Yuki!

lastly, some pictures during the valentines day!

as i say all my memories have almost been wipe out, the only thing i rmb was that my boyf did a tattoo & the fabulous breakfast @ Oscar's!

at times, true friends are hard to find.

you may put in alot of effort & time to maintain these relationship, but the other party just have friends that they think are more impt & more worthy for them, everyone will have their down time, those who stick by during the down times are the ones who'll be there for you in time to come.

open up your eyes to see who are the ones making the effort for a friendship, try to treasure before you lose them, learn to be appreciative.
