Bottle Tree Park Outing

Mr Ang brought me out for an outing to Bottle Tree Park today. We went prawn fishing. I was quite thrilled at first as I haven't been out for quite sometime. I have been keeping myself at home most of the time, not that I'm not able to go out, but with this size and figure of mine now, I would rather stay confined at home.

Mr Ang did most of the Prawn Fishing, I know how to fish, but I don't feel like taking over the rod as the weather is damn warm and I'm feeling uncomfortable but I'm not complaining ok. It's good to breathe some fresh air once in awhile. Anyway, I think he caught about 10 - 20 prawns. It's a good catch, he got a bite almost every 5 mins. We gave away the live prawns though, coz I got sick of eating the prawns. In the past, we used to go Prawn Fishing once or twice a week and I'll be having prawns for my meals almost everyday and I got sick of eating them already, moreover, the quality of the prawns are not as good as the ones sold in the market.

Preparing for my Little One......

Here I am again! After so long, I'm finally set on updating this blog again. Actually, I haven't been very busy, but just didn't have the mood to update. Maybe it's because of my pregnancy, the hormonal changes and stuffs...... Anyway, I have just 1 more month to go and my boy is going to see the world. I can't wait for him to get out of me and I can be relieved from all the weight that I have to carry about. He really feels heavy and I can feel that he's very low, which make me have difficulty climbing out of bed at times. Perhaps, he's really coming soon!

I have started to prepare for my boy's arrival. I was amazed to find that Gmarket is having a Super Crazy Sales on Huggies Diapers. They are selling it at almost half the price of the supermarket's retail price for some ranges, especially Huggies Ultra, plus free delivery to your doorstep with no minimum purchase. How amazing and it's dirt cheap! Of course, as a mum-to-be, I grabbed this amazing deal and bought 5 packs at one go to stock up. I received my goods the very next day. Great deal + fast delivery, simply amazing!

Happy New Year!!!

Let's countdown to a Brand New Year!

It's time to countdown to a brand new year and to set our new year's resolutions. One of my new year resolutions is to continue updating my blog which I've been MIA from for about ??? months?

With the New Year, Lunar New Year around the corner, and with my little prince on its way, there's so much to anticipate in the coming year. Till the next post guys.......

Good things in, bad things out!

Finally, after a long while.... I'm back! I needed some time on my own to clear my mind off things and now I trying to cope with my life now. I've stopped smoking, drinking, clubbing, etc.... Good things in, bad things out, all for the sake of..... Things are never going to be the same again......

Presenting.......

After about a month's of lessons, it's time to show a piece of my makeup work. And now, presenting my model..... Her makeup is 100% done by me! Eyebrows, eyeliner, eyelashes, eyeshadow, highlight, shading, blusher and lipcolour..... I blended several colours of foundation to achieve that tone for her skintone and I think it suits her perfectly. Luckily, her brows were quite easy to do. Phew! I drew the eyeliner a bit crooked but it's not very obvious so I think it's ok, anyway I'm still learning. Though my lecturer did assist me in some parts, I still think that I've improved quite a lot already, I just need more practice.

After class, we went to have supper at the thai restaurant downstairs. All my fellow classmates are around my age and they are fun girls.... Class is always fun with such fun people around.....

Anorexia Nervosa - A real-life story

Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia are known to commonly control body weight through the means of voluntary starvation, purging, vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs. It primarily affects adolescent females, however approximately 10% of people with the diagnosis are male. Anorexia nervosa is a complex condition, involving neurobiological, psychological, and sociological components.
:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorexia_nervosa

Have you ever been anorexic or knew someone who was? I will share a real story about a family member of mine who had been an anorexic and had managed to fight it.

My younger sister had anorexia when she was 16 years old. She wasn't fat though she did put on some weight as she was still undergoing puberty. At the beginning, nobody could tell that she was anorexic. She functioned normally as would a 16 year old normal teenager. She went to school, did homework, engaged in activities, etc.... She looked just like a normal teenager except for her decreasing weight.

As I wasn't living with my family, I wasn't sure about her eating habits or whether she was eating, but when I went back occasionally, I noticed that she had become very skinny, her frame was almost skeletal! I did ask her about her weight and she said that she was fine, she told me that her teacher had told her to go consult a doctor and the doctor said that he couldn't find anything wrong with her. I could see that she was very moody and therefore I stopped asking her questions regarding her weight.

It did not cross my mind that she might be anorexic though I knew about the eating disorder, anorexia nervosa. Thinking back, I think she might have been trying to pretend to be eating well coz I remember once when I went home, I saw her holding a pack of cookies in her hand. I really thought that she was just stressed up by her 'O' levels exams. I do not know how long this went on but finally she recovered and was back to her healthy weight again.

After she recovered, I asked her about her sudden weight loss and she told me that she had anorexia. She said it was due to stress. She doesn't want to eat and just drank lots of plain water to make herself feel full. She exercised to make herself lose more weight and she hated people saying that she was thin because she felt that she wasn't. Her periods stopped and her lowest weight fell to only 30kg which was dangerously underweight. My mother sent her to TTS hospital for treatment. She said the nurses there were very fierce and forced her to eat her meals. It was not a very good experience. Eventually, she was discharged but she was still underweight. In order for her to gain back the weight, she said she ate macdonald's for every meal.

Now, she is back to her healthy self again. She certainly looked better now than her previously skeletal figure. It just doesn't look normal. Being slim and beautiful is every girls' dream, but when it gets too far, it's going to be life-threatening.

Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan were rumoured that their anorexic had attributed to their weight loss.......

I love class...

Today, I practiced on Ping's eyebrows coz I am real lousy at drawing brows and tomorrow I need to draw eyebrows for class. I can't draw pretty brows. I just don't know why. Even my lecturer also asked me to practice more. I can't even draw my own brows perfectly, let alone do for others? I guess I just need to practice more....

This picture was taken during Tuesday's class. My classmate did make-up on me. It's an almost full make except without the blusher. Quite well-done right? It made my eyes look huge and those who know me should know that I have small eyes. The secret lies in the eyeshadow technique she used and partly because of the eyeliner too.

Tomorrow I will be doing my classmate's make-up. I hope I do it well too. I do practice at home ok but I realized that doing it on myself and doing it on others is so different.

Happy Birthday to me!!!!

I had a happy birthday celebration with a bunch of friends. Well, I am happy but somehow, there are some people who just really have a very bad attitude after drinking and like to create problems. I tried to ignore them and tried not to take it to heart on my day....... I can't be bothered by these little things when I'm trying to enjoy with my friends, it won't be fair for my other friends if I got angry and spoil everybody's mood. Imagine getting told that I was f**ked up in my face twice and I was nice enough to smile and treat it as nothing happened just because I didn't want to spoil others mood for some inconsiderate people. For goodness sake, if you want to attend someone's birthday celebration with no good words coming out of your mouth, then don't attend! Overall, it was an enjoyable day and we went to swensens at 6 a.m in the morning to cut my cake (after the trouble-maker left). And, I'm finally a year older...... I'm 24 this year!

My cake from Elaine and Karen..... Though it's small but it's the thought that counts......

I'm wishing for...... Shh.......

Yummy......

Funny-looking right?

I'm so blessed......

How do I look in Elaine's cap?

One big family....

Look! We got flowers......

My ice-cream cake.....

I want a peaceful life......

After so much has happened, I hope there won't be anymore emo posts from today on. Everything has more or less settled down, but I'm still being suspected of having the possibility of having an affair. I can't stand being suspected and accused when I did not even think about it! If this goes on, I'm going to break down! I will be celebrating my birthday tomorrow and I hope everything will go on well. I hope I won't get accused of having affairs again. There will surely be guys and gals around especially on an occasion like this and if every single guy who came is having an affair with me then that means I have a lot of affairs already. I really hope I can have a happy birthday celebration especially after so much has happened.

Not now, please....

Days passed. I've been trying to move on with my life again. Why do people always like to bring me down when I'm already getting better? Don't judge me. I hate people to judge me. I'm not a person who opens up easily and I don't confide in anyone easily simply because I don't trust people easily. I don't know how to express myself and that always made people misunderstand me. Don't say hurtful words to me. If you want to say then don't speak. Coz I may act like it's nothing to me but deep down I mind it damn much. Moreover, you don't know me well enough. I don't lead a fairytale life and I accept it coz this is all part of life. Only when we fall, then we will learn to make ourselves better.

I want to quit my Job!

I feel like quitting my job again. I'm tired of having to get up at 5 a.m in the morning and I can't make it in time for my 6.30pm class every tuesday and thursday. I spent alot of time on travelling and it's really very tiring especially now that I have to go for classes. I hardly had time to sleep as it's not my habit to sleep early. I can't sleep until after midnight. Imagine everyday coming home from work and then sleep. How meaningless. I want some time on my own after work before I go to sleep that's why I usually can't sleep early. That's one of the reasons, but the main reason is that I can't make it in time for class. I can't afford to be late for class and I don't want to be late. I hope to find another job which is more nearer to my school.

Conscience

MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR.

I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

NO AMOUNT OF HUMILATION AND BEATINGS WILL MAKE ME CONFESS TO SOMETHING I DID NOT DO.

HIT ME TO DEATH IF YOU LIKE.

I STAND BY MY PRINCIPLES.

KARMA WILL BEFALL THE ONE WHO BRING MUCH HARM/HURT TO THE INNOCENT.

First Day of Class

Today is the first day of my Make-up Artistry class. Everything went on well and it was fun as the lecturer was very humorous. Class is fun, I'm already looking forward to the next class. If I can, I will take some pictures during lesson time to show everyone how it goes on in the class.

This is my make-up case, given by the school.......

This is how it looks like when it's fully opened.... The stuff inside came with the case, I'll add in more stuff.....

And, here is my make-up brush set, which comes in an elegant pouch.....
P.S: The Make-up case is damn heavy. I feel like a Professional Make-up Artist already. LOL.....

Photoshoot Pictures

Finally get to see the pictures and these are some which I like.......

I like this alot..... We both look so cool in this pic......

This pic of Karen is very well-taken.... Look at her eyelashes!

Cheers to everyone, coz I'm happy!!!!!

Cheers to everyone on a Saturday night today!!! I'm a happy girl today coz I'm going to be a professional make-up artist! I went to sign up for my Professional Make-up Artistry Diploma course at Cosmoprof today. The course will take about 6 months to complete and once I get my diploma, I'm going to be a professional make-up artist. I hope I can get through this.

I really want to be a make-up artist, I want to make women look beautiful. I want to do bridal make-ups and event make-ups. Some people say make-up is fake, however, I do not think so. Make-up simply enhances a woman's beauty and most importantly, it lets a woman gain confidence. Confidence is very important in whatever we do. If we have confidence, we will carry ourselves better and perform better in whatever we do. Make-up is also a form of respect, that's why some jobs require their staffs to put on make-up.

Apart from the normal make-up, I will learn other make-up techniques like special effects make-up, stage and drama make-up, fashion and photographic make-up, bridal make-up and hairstyling. All these will come into good use for me to pursue my career in this industry.

My course will commence next week. Let's hope that I get through this and get my diploma successfully. Cheers!!!

The different types of make-up techniques.....
