Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale

I watched this movie today and it made me fell in love with Disney princesses all over again. What, I'm still a child at heart okay, matching with my never aging face. The last Disney princess movie I watched was... ... ... I can't remember, Cinderella the video tape?

Disney and Pixar had done well in movies, such as Up, Enchanted (Which I love love love, oh, this was the last Disney Princess Movie I watched!), Alice in Wonderland etc.... but there were also some which didn't quite get my nod like Pirates 2 & 3, Narnia 2 (Why must they include romance!?!?! The actors for Caspian and Susan had no sparks!!!).

I shed tears when it was very funny or very sad in the certain scenes of Rapunzel. When Rapunzel lost her hair, and cried when Eugene (the handsome bandit) died, it was easily foreseen that her tears had the same healing power like her hair. Disney pretty much laid the story foundation at the start so there wasn't much hard guess.

So, I recommend this movie if you looking for something lighthearted and doesn't need much brain power. Pascal is really cute, almost like Pip in Enchanted. Can't speak but has super cute body languages and facial expression! 最佳男配角！

Suay Day

I thought I was having another lucky day when the usually stern senior clerk offered me a ride down the slope, Mercedes leh!!! Alas... I was ultra suay after I got out of her car. I couldn't squeeze into the 171, the next 171 was super packed, I was in a urgent to go toilet. When I reached home, both toilets were occupied (ok, this one my own fault coz I was watching the K Drama until 8pm when my Dad asked Mum and sis whether they want to go visit the newborn and shoo they went bathing and therefore I was stranded in the living room when I wanted to use the bathroom).

I think I really don't like my job. Haiz...

I'm very lucky today!

A red packet was lying innocently near the dustbin. Out of curiosity, I picked up the ang bao to take a look as it seemed quite plump. Not too much, but I figured the person accidentally threw it away thinking it was empty when it wasn't.

Friend said, "finding $ nv give police is considered an offence (criminal misappropriation of property)", so being the good citizen I am, I did what I should.

Stippling Brush

I've been watching a lot of makeup youtubes recently, and one item that caught my attention was this stippling brush. It aims to provide a flawless finish and at the same time, uses less foundation than other brushes. Interesting huh, so I went to get a affordable one from Watson, which seem to be a newly launched brand.

Ain't it pretty?

So after testing it out, it really does use less foundation (I use cream), and the application was smoother, hence achieving that flawless skin, or more natural looking. The brush felt soft too, despite being a synthetic brush.  Anyway, being the clean freak I was, I washed the brush after about 2 uses, coz my daily makeup did not require using foundation or brushes, so I didn't want it to get bacteria growing while I stashed it away. But it was a terrible mistake.

Big blob of pink

Like all pigmented product, the color got rinsed off and as you can see, it was a very bad rinse. Not only that, the brush also gotten rougher and I was actually using a mild makeup cleanser. Double sianz lo, coz I got the brush less than a week.

So if you thinking of getting this brand of brushes becoz of it's pretty color, well, spend your hard earned money on better quality brush although it may be more expensive. The brush is exclusively to Watson.

Family Portrait

Finally, after a long 2 years... wah... It's been 2 years since I graduated?!? Gosh... Felt so not long ago. Anyway, after waiting all these time, we  finally had our family portrait taken!!! We took it in April, right after my HK trip, so I was very round as I packed 2 kg in 7 days (which also means I need 7 months to lose those weight, as as of today, I was at the weight before my HK trip, yeap, 7 months). Nevertheless, the pictures are gorgeous, and true to my family's big jolly nature, we had a big jolly photo.

The size looks like a photo frame on the table, but it is actually 40"!!!

My mama's favorite photo!!! As long as my papa is in the photo, it's her fav. Heh heh.

Jia & me, I hate how tall she is beside me. Hmpf!!!

When the guy brought out the photo, I was so stunned when I saw how huge the frame was. It couldn't even get into the car boot! So it stayed in the back seat with us.

We also had dinner at the 天外天鱼头炉 which we had, what else, 鱼头炉 lor. The soup is sweet, but the fish a tad stiff and it wasn't scrapped clean. We also had Hei Zou, Kailan and Fuyong Egg. Not sure if they saw us all big big, the portions they gave us also big big. We struggled to finish the food. My poor mum had to ate my rice coz I couldn't finish and she didn't want to waste the rice. Yeap, my stomach is programmed to take bread more than rice. Weird i know, but I can eat a lot of bread and is fine, but ate too much rice, I'll be stuffed. Had too much rice the other day at Ivin's, so I learnt my lesson, never ever overfill the stomach when it's full.

Now, we just need to wait for Jamie's convocation. =) Jamie, 加油！

Teint Miracle by Lancome

I was offered a free makeover by Lancome after a purchase at the Tangs Orchard. Free one, what's not to take right? Anyway, I think the Lancome MA seemed so sincere in giving me, maybe because I spent quite a moolah the other time. Heh heh. Her name is Linda Tock, very nice.

Anyway, back to the makeover, overall, I like the makeup, but I didn't really like my hairdo coz it didn't match my outfit. But then, I learnt the trick to doing a beehive head. (^_^)Y, can do it myself next time. One can of hairspray and a fine comb do the trick!

Here are the pictures, I looked so Tai Tai lor, that hair, hmm... I still prefer the Bobbi Brown one, where I still looked like myself.

Before Photoshop. Le Au NAtural. The Teint Miracle foundation is really good! My skin looks so dewy, ya?

After PS. Now the face looked like it was cut and paste, ignoring that, it is still good. I wished I wore better outfit.

Took this photo myself. Face and hair a bit oily & sweaty after 2 hrs, but still glowing good. BTW, no double chins!!!

Like this shot. Aren't my eyes seductive? Mu ha ha ha.

Paintball should be called PainBall

I had my first try at Paintball today, by Red Dynasty @ Sembawang. It was very very fun!!! At first, I was in such regret that why on earth did I agree to join the game when I couldn't shoot, couldn't aim, couldn't run. But, by the second round, I was hooked.

Sure, when hit by the paintball, there was a momentarily period which I would shout "Fuck" like a non-stop machine gun, or in this case, the non-stop paintball gun while rubbing the painful area. Then, I had to check whether I was colored with the green paint or not, coz if I was, I would have to run back to homebase and "reload" my life. Else, continue shooting.

I went with my colleagues, and we were all deft at hiding. Seriously, we didn't get very dirty, except for one guy, who was suay lah, coz he was the common target board. And I think I also shoot a lot at him while he was running back to home base to reload, which by right they were safe during these reloading period. As usual, I was kuku about the rules and regulations.

I shall do a rough explanation. It was like a real-life counter-strike. We were divided into terrorist (T) and counter-terrorists (CT) group. And for round one, our objectives were to aim at the opponents' cone, shoot it down, then grab our flag/ Styrofoam brick to the designated area, then we would be declared winners by the marshals, who were the Red Dynasty guys. It was like a warm-up round.

At the second round, there was a change of rule. Instead of just aiming the cones, the T's aim was to "bomb" the CT's helicopter, and the CT had to save one of the guy who was a hostage. This made it really interesting. We strategically assigned roles and the girls, which was me and Rachel, were to cover while the rest saved the hostage. Anyway, the T could only throw the "bomb" (Styrofoam brick) from the bridge, and when he did that, he was basically the target as there was nowhere to hide. So I really had fun, coz whenever the guy came up wanting to throw the Styrofoam, I just shoot. At such close range, I was shiok from the endless triggering!

Last round was Death Match, basically, we just aim and shoot till we ran out of the paintball. It was the most fun because there was no rules.

Enough words, pictures explain more.

Getting ready

This chubby guy here is me. The vest hid my chest lah!

Notice that all the guys wore the old uniform. In a way, we looked really like going for war!

Group photo #1, before the game started

This was taken before the second round, see how sweaty we were!

We already completed all, and the Red Dynasty guys kindly lent us the rifles to pose pictures.

"PainBall!" Actually we shouted Paintball lah.

Act Seh leh!

He kenna on the head

Souvenir of the day. Her OrhCheh "blossomed" a while later.

My Flower.

He's proud of his Crab.

Still showing off. Heh Heh.

I just looked like that, I wasn't unhappy!

See how happy they are. They obviously had good fun targeting someone.

FAILED! Group photo.

Recapping story again.

Playing with iPhone4

Final Group Photo, after a hearty meal

One last one. =)

My Flower finally blossomed! It's uber painful! But heng, I only got this one spot.

Definitely going back to play again!

Complacency

I was a little complacent when I couldn't fit into the dress for it was 3 inches too big. Proof that I indeed shed some weight post PMS.

And then I went on a chocolate binge on Mon and full rice meals on Tuesday.

Dang... 1 more month to go... Must control and maintain my stats now!

I gave up driving & blah blah blah

I came to a realization that I can and will never be able to learn how to drive, after wasting near 4k on lessons, renewal and practical tests. My reaction is always slower, I always forgot to do safety check, I can't gauge,  how to drive like that? The confidence I showed during practice never did shine during tests. Sometimes I think the instructors were just patronizing me. I mean, if I were that ok, how come I not ok during TP? I was already so calm in my last test, yet there were still so many mistakes the tester penalized me.

为何？？？

The older I am, the lousier I get, the stupider I became.

I should just die at 30 years old. I can't imagine what become of me at 40. Oh, old single maid is the best visualization I have.

A disgusting new flash: I think I just detox a 10cm worm out of my body. Damn, what have I been eating? And no wonder I've been feeling so easily hungry lately.

I have a verdict for my fat waist

It's PMS bloat.

I had just endured a 2 month's worth of PMS.

This explained my recent :

1. Tiredness. I was always tired in the office that my PL bought me Vit. B complex. Touched ~~~
2. Crankiness. Scold Jamie Nag Jamie Irritate Jamie
3. Neatness & Cleanliness OCD: Dust Wipe Organize

I felt like I'm finally back to myself, back to my old body. For the past 2 months, all my thoughts were I'm fat, I ate too much, I exercise too less, and I hardly did my bowels. Considering that I only been to my kickboxing twice (I missed 1 lesson), did jogging and stair-climbing 3 weeks ago, I seriously didn't think that aids my weight loss. Granted, I walked a bit more lately than usual, choosing to climb tat irritating half hill than to take a taxi (partially also due to the over spending lah), it still doesn't work out that 2 inches.

The tap is finally turned on today and I really felt like the bloat is gone. Furthermore for the past 1 week plus, I've been very flatulent and did no. 2 several times a day (solid somemore!) which are my cues to the time of the month.

Maybe, the bloat is a collaboration between the 2 mentioned actions above and they were on strike for 2 months.

女人难当啊！

Kickboxing is good

After a 3 months break, it's good to be back in kickboxing, I can really feel the oil inside me melting after an hour of non-stop kicks.

Ok, not exactly an hour non-stop, my 100% reduced to 80% after 20 mins, 60% after another 10 mins, and doing only 20% for the remaining. My instructor is like an energizer bunny kicking at gear 5, really powerhouse!!! We couldn't keep up with her speed and strength. Imagine throwing 3 moves in a second with the oil barrels attaching to my arms. Tiring!

But shiok! I felt less bloated already.

Looking forward to my next lesson!

My waistline is getting wider than my bustline - part 2

To no avail, the bottom is still wider than the top. Shit.

But the walk up the hill today seemed to ease my bloat.

I wonder is I could walk them everyday, just half the hill and I'm way past zen mode.

I guess endurance is the key.

Assaulted

My poor tummy was assaulted mercilessly by Miss Gwee.She had a fun time rubbing them, but I didn't enjoy. I think I will enjoy the rubbing on the tummy if I'm a puppy.

Miss Gwee, I'll get my revenge!!! You wait!!! ( ~ o ^ )Y

I'm removing the cbox. Too many spammers.

Elbow knocked sense into me

I was elbow-knocked this morning by a guy when the bus suddenly swerved. I was in pain. I that I was so pissed off by his non-apologetic manner that I just glared at him while rubbing my tortured back while his back faced me.

Very duhz, I know. Absolutely no use at all.

So I was complaining to my colleagues, and so one of them asked, "Why didn't you confront him?"

That slapped me up and I pondered, why did I lack the gut to ask him for a sorry? I'm the victim here, ya?

As I reenact the scene in my head, I realized I was actually worried of showing my anger in front of strangers. So strange, isn't it? We could lash all the emotions on our closest that we see everyday, yet we could hide our tempers on people who won't see a second time. Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Why care about what other strangers are thinking when we don't even spare a thought of what our family and friends are thinking of our actions?

Hmm, I guess that's what we called kinship and friendship, coz there's no barrier and we showed our truest selves, instead of pretending whom we are not in front of strangers.

Like how I shrieked and jumped away from the lizard that my colleague kindly informed me not to step on. Totally lost my cool again. But it showed how much I don't care what they think.

Heh.

I'm mad worried

I feel like my left ear is going deaf soon coz I've been hearing buzzing almost everyday.

My waistline is still huge despite not eating much, I cut down on my rice le!

I hardly feel hungry and when I am, I feel full after 2 bites.

I'm panting like an old cow.

It all feel so deja vu, seemed like it happened in 2007 when I could go on for a day with only breakfast. Gonna do detox for this week, crap.

My sis is a joker too.

Mum told me that the same Auntie C has been pestering her for an answer whether both Jia and me are attached. And Jia gave a really ultimate answer, "Aiyo, tell her to stop asking lah! There isn't even a 色狼！"

I do not have their levels.

My mum is a joker

Those who know my mum will know that she is someone with an incredible sense of humor. She could give really out-of-the-box answers.

When I was going uni and staying in hostel, Auntie D, a family friend was saying that it was a little dangerous for 2 girls to stay alone in school, even though it is a school. So my mum, told her: "Oh, then I'll ask her to stay with a guy lor, can protect her!" Totally disregarding the auntie's exact worry.

Recently, Auntie C had been calling my mum and she always exclaimed that my mum is a bundle of energy, coz she could go work, come home work some more and then watch Korea drama without a rest. And she she will always ask the same thing to my mum: "Do you always take chicken essence?"

Sick of her nonsense, my mum gave her nonsense. Without batting an eyelid, she replied in hokkien, "Bo lah, wo jiak peh hoon!" (No lah, I eat heroin!)

My waistline is getting wider than my bustline.

Really need to stop putting food into my mouth.

Over Clothes

Ever since I made the beautiful marriage of Forever21.com and Vpost, I had been shipping clothes every 3 months or so. Up till Sunday, I was browsing clothes as usual, and getting opinions from Jamie.

Jamie then told me something she heard from my parent's conversation: Why Qiqi (me) keep buying clothes?

Struck me like a bat on the head and woke me up. They were right, why do I buy so many clothes?

The clothes I bought, only a few I would start it. Those I don't wear, I kept thinking that I would wear it once I had the chance or save it for a special occasion, and usually they are dresses and skirts. So far, only 2 skirts were broken into. -_-|||

This could link to how my Ah-ma used to keep our new clothes for the "special occasions", you know. I inherited this habit. Not that it is a bad habit, but it is bad when I still have new clothes stacking from 2 years ago.

And ever since I started working, the urge to"must own this item" becomes bigger. From simple tops to elaborated dress, from backpack to shoulder bags, ballet flats to high heels, even the facial products, fill more than 1 drawer. I will even spend that certain amount to get the freebie. I'm really getting out of hand.

So, I told myself, I must not buy any more stuffs till end of the year. Coz I don't have any more space to stash them already.

I'm getting very very lazy...

Procrastinate too much...

Think far less...

I guess I'm just waiting for some huge to happen before I start writing like I used to be...

Had my wisdom tooth extraction on my left cheek in July, MC one week, shiok beyond words. Can't remember much funny details le. Except that I still went for a farewell dinner on Thursday despite my swollen gum. Oh, I had a total of 2 or 3 LA shots coz I was feeling the pain even before the dentist was sewing my gum back. Popped 2 painkillers when went home and slept like a pig. Face swollen like a pig too. Could bite and eat normally on the right side when I woke up, which is good coz mum cooked good food! =)

Got new eyebrows. =) Nice is nice, but a bit too expensive... should have for free ointment. I'm such a sucker.

Bought far too many things, shoes, clothes, bags... Forever21.com, I hate you! But I love you more!

Got 2 huge ass acne in 2 months... I guess something went wrong in my beauty regime... Oh! I didn't remove my makeup properly... Shit... Got a huge ass scar on my face now, not obvious, but irritating.

Work still nothing new... Bestie jokingly advised me to change job since nothing much (she meant guys) to see there (mean further prospects). Duhz... she's planning to get married in 2 years time! Gosh.

I can't lie and I don't know how. Seriously. All I wanted was to avoid appearing too chiong going out with Bestie after on mc yesterday), so I said to my colleagues whom I was on the same wayy that I just wanted to pay some service which I didn't manage to get to yesterday, which is true. When Bestie called, I silly answered, "You reached already ah?" So Colleagues A and B knew I was going out, I further made situation worse when Colleague-A asked why don't I meet her in Yishun since we both stayed there. I answered, Yishun was boring. This kinda overthrew my first reason that I wanted to clear payment and made me seemed like a liar and an MC queen. I meeting her in AMK was because I really wanted to make payment and there was a roadshow!!!

Lousy Liar Me!

Ok dok!
