Yes.

Stare deep into the hazel orbs of Martin. Melt your hearts, readers.



HELLO readers! It's HALLOWEEN!~~~


Woohoo. I just love these events. Fun fun fun. If only a year can have more festivals than there is now, it would be a better place. Like maybe... Para Para Day... Cosplay Day... Crossdressing day... I don't know, stuff.


But anyway, this morning, my bro reminded me it's Halloween... I totally forgot. I immediately took my Marie headband to school. And my shirt has a picture of a cat, but that wasn't intentional.


Martin wanted to try on my headband, and as you can see in the above two pictures, he looked like a girl. And then he ACTED like a girl, so enthusiastic about the headband, forcing us to take pictures of him... Doesn't it remind you of the time Albert tried on my bro's cheongsam? Boys. Whoever knew they could be so vain. Ckck.


I don't know what Martin is trying to pull in this pic, he's supposed to be behind/in the middle of us, but I guess we're too tall for him nyeheheh:




Livia and Listy didn't have any headband, but Alyssa did~



Miaow~

And this is the funniest ever...



OMF--- HaHA! Didi wearing that headband while smoking? Not cute. Funny. He has these weird expressions going on in the following pictures, and they crack me up:

Yesterday was my bro's 18th birthday. Stacey came at night to give him a surprise. And since everyone who's had their birthday in our class was always given a surprise, my bro expected the same. Therefore he brought a shirt to school on Monday. Therefore my classmates didn't surprise him on that day, but did it the next day, which is, well, today!

Don't know why so many people are missing in this photo... Isn't Martin supposed to be in this photo?? O_o Why is he... not there. Kevin went home. Alyssa absent. Where's Jeje? Where's Didi? Oh well...

I had that sudden urge to cut my hair again today! So I did~



Omg. My hair looks so so so so so so SOOOO horrible. It's not meant to look like that, but the hairdresser was stupid. The guy I usually go to was sick on that day. I guess it's also partly my hair's fault, the hairstyle suits thin hair better, and my hair was... well, super thick.

So here I am pleading, begging for a cure to my bad hair...


I was in tears, begging for someone to rescue me, the Princess of Roses and Sparkles.

AND RELEASE!



The big guy over there. He is the one and only person I can trust to hold a pair of scissors at my hair. I didn't want to wash my hair before the cut, and didn't blow it either after it was done. I was too lazy. So it took me only a mere 15 minutes visit to Jose Alexandre salon to erase the darkness of my hair's past.



Like I said, didn't blow or wash hair. So don't mind the bends here and there. My hair is like that.

I haven't been online that often because the electricity in my house? Yeah, well, there's something fucked up about it. It keeps DYING O_O ..

It's not because there was too much appliances being used either. Even when only a few lights are on, it would die, like some random time bomb.

So yesterday night, my house had no electricity. I spent the time playing my DS. And when I turned it off, and on again, this happened:

That flash was super bright and blinding. I was shocked. Tried turning my DS on several more times, still no reaction. My friends said, after watching the video, that my DS had simply run out of battery. Then the electricity came back on and I tried charging it. My DS wouldn't charge... O_O It's broken...?

I have 4 sockets in my house. One is always used by my laptop charger, so I tried the DS charger in all the remaining 3 sockets. None worked. I was convinced it was my DS charger, or the DS motherboard with the problem (this I know after some research online).

I was aghast... my DS... into which I have just added new games...

This morning at 2:00am (yes, I was awake until 2:00am because Stacey came to my house to give my bro a birthday surprise which was so well-planned cause she told him she was in a class excursion when she's actually not so he wouldn't expect her to be there for his birthday), I was about to go to sleep and so I charged my handphone.

Dang. It wouldn't charge... I tried again. No charging sign. I tried on all 3 sockets in my room. None. Could my handphone charger be dysfunctional too? I went to the study room, and tried out the socket there... and... it worked!!! O___O

I tried my DS charger there also and it also works!

Yipeee~

So when I woke up this morning, I told my Dad that there are problems with the electric sockets in my room. He asked my Mum and APPARENTLY, all the problems I've been through with my DS is due to a very simple reason:

my Mum forgot to switch on the electricity in my room.

=_= duh.

Well, I'll put that in the past. What's important is I've got things back on running again! Yay!

Oh and btw, did I ever mention in this blog that Gucci is away from home for more than a week already? She is with her personal trainer, who is supposed to bring her home every weekend, but last Saturday, he went away to Bandung and the delivery boy was sick. I havent met my angel baby darling in so long!!!

Since I've never met the guy before (but my Mum has), I was worried that he might have sold Gucci away, or made her into a birth-giving machine, or ...maybe she was raped by the other male dogs there???

I can't imagine all that horrible things happening to my puffy white bundle of joy. It brings me to tears ;_; You see, Gucci is a coward. She is afraid of EVERYTHING. You hold a foreign object to her, she runs away. She sees a lion on TV, she runs away. A stranger comes in the house, she runs away. But you know what she's most afraid of? Dogs. Yeah. She's so scared of other dogs. Even super tiny mini-pomeranians who are younger than her. So imagine Gucci being sent away to a strange place, away from her beloved owners, and stuck with all sorts of big dogs.......

Omg.

I told my Mom to bring her back, I can't stand all the thoughts and I'm worried. She said... she actually said OKAY!!! *jumps with joy*

She said she would call the person and ask him to bring her back today. But with all this electricity problems and electricians coming in and out every single day fixing a problem that won't go away... Well... it's hard to have Gucci around. I can just imagine it, my Mum stressing and breaking things. Gucci is a hard-to-manage dog, see.

So I guess we'll have her back when all this electricity thing is over with... My poor baby.... =( don't you worry Mommy's gonna come back for you. Oh! Look! electricity just died... =_= No seriously, it did. I'm typing on my laptop battery right now. Woot. Back on again. Alright, cya~ =D

I feel like an android.

Yeah. Yeah I do. Well maybe not to that extent, but I feel sort of lifeless...

I miss smiling. Do you know what smiling is? No, it's not laughing at a joke. It's not pretending to laugh at a lame joke but end up smiling either. It's not when you greet someone in the corridor and you feel a need to say 'Hi' and smile for courtesy.

A smile... is a smile. (Forgive my airy head in this blog post) My lips feel anchored down... damn heavy. I can't tug it up, and I certainly can't pretend to smile. So yeah, I miss smiling. I miss that fluttery feeling you get in your heart when you see something you love, and your lips just curl upward and your face flushes with glee. That light-hearted feeling. Aaaah complete with soft yellow and pink hues.

Am I not making sense? Of course not. This is my rant post. Where I put down all my abstract thoughts and visual imageries.

So yeah. Smiling. smiling... smile... smiles... smiled... smileys... :) :D =) =D ;) ;D xD xDD ^^ ^_^ ^0^ (^_~) (\(^0^)/)

Susan came over to my house today! As usual, it was a spontaneous unplanned visit. We ate in pannecook (sp?) at first then rode a mikrolet to my house, where I got started on more portfolio works.



Tried sketching some fashion designs inspired by seashells. They looked good at first, but when I re-drew them into clean crisp lines, THEY SUCK. SUUUUCKKKK. I spent hours working on two designs which I ended up not using anyway. So I was really getting depressed, and at the end of the day I picked out some old drawings I did and summing up, I realised I suddenly have... voila! 15 design works! O_O Very weird. Nonetheless, will do more tomorrow.



Oh so anyway. While I was sketching, Susan went along and did my hair. We took out all my ViVi, Nana, Mina, all the Jap fashion magazines, and Susan tried to follow the hairstyles. We wanted to make the buns, and this is how it turned out:




HAIRSTYLE #1

We put my hair up into a tall bun, leaving the sides, and also a little bit on the back. Susan says I have Barbie hair. No, it's not exactly a compliment. It basically means that my hair is close to impossible to tie up, or style.

But hairstylist Susan did it anyway! Such expertise~!

...But not without tons of bobby pins and bitching around about my hair.

HAIRSTYLE #2


Next style! A different kind of bun. Flatter, and has a clockwise direction to it. Might Susan be inspired by the seashell too like I was? She left my long hair hanging. It looks like a freaking wig.

HAIRSTYLE #3

Another bun hairstyle! Like the first one, but this time Susan didn't leave out any hair hanging except on the sides.

HAIRSTYLE #4

Haha. I don't know if this counts for anything but...yeah. The basic ponytail ^^"

My hair is hard work ain't it Suzie? ;)

I have to have a portfolio ready in a few days for my application to RMIT. A portfolio should contain a minimal of 15 pieces of recent artwork. And let me just say that I was not the most dilligent student back in Art class, so when I heard 15, I felt I was screwed.


But today! I finally got off my super lazy big ass and decided to create an artwork for the portfolio! Finally! Here is what I had spent a few hours working on:





Taadaa! I must say I'm pretty proud of it :D Again I'd like to say thanks to master of sketching, Chu, who gave me a crash lesson in one day.


Hey, Vina, you drew a Siberian Husky! Isn't that what Chu always draws? Are you trying to compete with her?


No, no, I'm not. For sketching, I'm more comfortable with the animal face than human. It's easier to sketch, and of course I want to present something good for my portfolio. And since the husky has a nice contrast of black and white fur, it is much easier to sketch than, let's say, a completely brown coloured dog. Or white. Like Gucci.


Here is the original picture:

Striking isn't it? That's why I chose it ^_^

Wish me luck for my other portfolio works!

I had a great time with my girls today! Finished fucking boring school which I hate even more now due to the new subject on Australian law and policies. And at around 1:30PM, Susan and Ratna reached my house, and we left for our dear ol' school, Bina Bangsa School.


Picture came from her blog =)

Yeah, very smexy. She looks like a belly dancer. Or whore, as she had put it when she striked a pose in the fitting room. Well, twas fun. And then Ratna went to look at shoes, which I'm not very interested in. So I went to the make-up section.

You see, I've always wanted to try being made-over by the women in charge of the make-up stalls. But being a little kid growing up, I wondered how I would actually make them do it. I mean, I don't plan to buy the make-up. I'm just doing it for fun. But today, I did it at last. I acted all friendly to the person, and when I asked about testing the red/pink eyeshadow on the poster, she offered to put it on my face.

I can't find the exact poster for the colour of the eyeshadow I wanted, but here is a picture of a Shu Uemura creation:

And then we went home. To Susan's. I snatched Ratna's phone and took pictures of myself while she used Susan's. Why do we do that? I have no idea. Then we went to Susan's room to take poodle pics... Only some people can understand that ;)

Anyway! I'm sleepy, and tired! And someone's been up my ass disturbing my inner peace. =_= See ya guys later...

Hello readers. I know my blog sucks now =( I update less frequently.



So what's been going on with me? Well, many things. But I've been feeling rather down and empty and mostly: BORED.



I am bored. Oh am I really bored. Day by day passes by and I feel even more bored. I need some excitement and adventure in my life. =( This must be boring for you, reading about how bored I am. So let's skip all the pessimistic stuff okay, let's assume it's the PMS-induced emo-ness.



On the happier side of life, check out what is up on the UNSW Foundation Year Students web page...

Tadaa... =D Well now, let this poor girl brag a little will you? I got highest in class! Hahaha. I mean heck, when's the last time I ever stood first in class? WHEN??!?! Back when I was a primary school kid in Singapore. So yeah, let me brag :)

So with this result, I will apply for RMIT's Visual Communication course, which only requires... a GPA of 7.0 or 7.5 (can't remember). That's without a portfolio of 15 pieces of design works though. Crap. I haven't been dilligent with my art stuff and let me just say that 15 is a lot of art pieces to collect. Damn I have so much Design assignments to do... T_T

Yes anyway. I'm sure you all know that Susan is back from America =D *dances*

I went straight to her house and we chatted a LOT the day she came back. I just laid on her bed feeling all at home, trampling her mattress with my dirty muddy foot =D Anyway. That was 2 days ago. Back to present times. She came over to my house (it's nice to be neighbours)~

One thing weird about me is that I seem to always, somewhy, put on make-up when my girls come over. For some odd reason! They come over. "Hey let's curl your hair!" which later leads to "Hey! Let's put on some make-up!" and then "Hey change into this will ya?" and finally "Let's take pictures like mad!!!"

That's the reason why you will soon witness narcism from me again. But no, I didn't curl my hair or change into anything new. But I did put on my brand new dark purple MAC eyeshadow from Suzie as my birthday present xDD

A pic of us trying to have big, BIG eyes. You can see us straining our facial muscles. =D

I start to feel rather mischevious...

Susan notices I'm doing something weird, and looks at the monitor instead of the webcam...(while still keeping her smile)

I know I look fugly in that picture. But it just looks SO MUCH like Ragnarok Online's /e8 emoticon (my fave) that I can't help but post the photos up.

Nice pics to make up for the fugly ones? =D

This is a pic where you can really see the smoky purple eye make-up. I was having a webcam convo when I noticed this...lol

Ooohh... Thanks for the present, Susan =D Love it
