Ride out on the seeeaaaa…….

Journey

Today marks the end of another chapter in my book. It has been a roller coaster ride. I think it taught me one thing. never ever settle for something that is just ok. I think as a fresh graduate, i was very quick to jump on the nearest ship i see. Failing to realise there are mroe ships that will be coming your way. But of course i did not regret it. 2 issues, 3 issues coming out. Taught me about writer’s block. Taught me that sometimes you have to write what people want to read and not what you want to write about. Deadlines… copywriting… images…. quotes…. colour… layout….design…spelling mistakes…grammatical errors…

See thats why my blog is filled with spellinnngg/grammatical eerroos becuz i can do it without thousands of subscribers asking for a refund. ke ke ke.

I had fun and now moving on to a new page.

Priscilla Ahn

I was sitting at One Fullerton with chapalang food while waiting for anak johar and i heard her beautiful voice resonating through the speakers.

and now im in love with her. all of her songs actually. but the one i heard at starbucks is entitled “Dream.” go listen.

Shoes

in the face of a new job that sounds promising, i indulged myself with a new pair of shoes that burnt a hole in my pocket and also a hole in my heels. my flesh is now exposed. it hurts with every move and is now covered in burn ointment and a gauze with tape. yeowzers.

Rabeanco bag.

i love my bag so much i want to buy the same one in a different colour much to the annoyance of anak johar who is on a quest with me to save up for november’s shebang. yes. i hear you. public transport. -.-

Evening Primrose Oil

Because everyone should be taking care of their faces, collagen alone is not enough. If you’re not even taking collagen, you should not even be reading this. I think it is vital for ladies to look after your skin. We will not be staying in number 2 world forever, we will move into World 3 soon. and that means war.

So why dont you just protect yourself first. sharpen your weapons, build tha barracks, get the first aid out…. ok im digressing.

Basic skincare:

1. facial wash (im using Shiseido Skincare S$57)
2. softener/toner (Shiseido S$73)
3. Day Moisturizer (Shiseido Spf 15 (S$78). you can use higher SPF but it can clog your pores so invest in a good brand)
4. Night Moisturizer (Biotherm Aquasource S$73)
5. Eye cream (Chanel’s Precision $71)
6. T-zone Control (Chanel’s Precision $58)
7. Collagen (Meiji S$66. Drink this everyday pls. thanks. the powder has no taste. mix one tablespoon with your favourite juice in the morning. Collagen works best with Vit C, so i would go with carrot, orange, pineapple….)
8. Evening Primrose Oil (Nature’s Way S$37 1000mg each day. 2 softgels each day.)
9. Face Masks. (8 cups water brand. Shall ask sheryl where she got it for me from. AWESOME stuff. 1 to 2 times a week. Try those from the Face Shop. They are good too. one is about S$15.)
10. Face Scrub (Honestly i have not found a good one yet. Im currently using Crabtree and Evelyn. Colleagues bought it for me. it is ok. Not fantastic. I have used estee lauder’s before, mum’s. but waaaaaaayyyyyy over my budget. but tts the best so far.hmm…) once a week at least. because no matter how clean your face is there will be dead cells. so. get rid of them! so you’ll look more youthful and alive.

This is BASIC. and if you want more, than go for your weekly facials. those scrubs, or masks, or aromatheraphy thingy. removal of your blackheads and acne control or pimple busters.

but so far my skin has been very loyal to me. just slightly dry. and i pray as hell it will remain that way. I think acne should not exist. terrible. it’s pain, blotchy and evil. I wish there is some breakthrough for this problem. because every girl should be blessed with good and healthy skin.

oh and of course, top up on anti-oxidents to prevent you know, saggy skin and wrinkles and blah blah blah. im contemplating on Grapseed Extract. But i think im popping too much pills. what with the EPO and the collagen. actually only 2 right. see how. Grapeseed Extract sounds interesting.

LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER. AVOCADO. TOMATOES. BEETROOT.

Geylang’s Bazaar

food’s not that great if you ask me. But S and i bought many stuff from this cute little corner that reminds me of a garage’s sale. soap dispenser, glass coloured bottles to chill drinks in, plates, candles…. nice.

Must at least go once lah.

Ok, have a lunch date with the colleagues. final supper. hah.

thanks for the book from bangalore! and the kangaroo from aussie! much much appreciated.

cant wait for tonight. picking up S from the airport and having dinner after.

malam raye lah….

have a fantastic hari raya readers!
