My Childhood Friend, Ernie.

I grew up watching Sesame Street and I loved it. I wonder what do kids watch these days.. 

 

Come on, to be able to look THIS stupid.. It's a talent la okay. You don't understand one. HAHAHA

Barefaced but brow game strong *yay*

Lovin' My Brows

Sorry for scaring you guys with my barefaced selfies the past few days. But yes, I'm really glad I no longer need to draw my brows :)

After just one day the ink has faded a little already. Looking a lot more natural so I guess I'm really happy with my brows!

Review: Browhaus' Eyebrow Resurrection Trial

NOT A SPONSORED POST

Just me being excited that I'd not have to draw my brows for another 3 months! Hahaha.

Okay so first you'll lie down on the chair and your therapist will give you a brief on your eyebrow shape, how long it'll last per person basis cause it differs, what she can do for you like shaping or filling in the empty spots etc etc.

Then she would draw out the shape and all. When you are pleased with the outlines, you are good to go.

Application of numbing cream first as shown below:

Don't laugh at me, I was crayon shin-chan for 20 mins.

Then the filling in. Okay thank god for numbing cream cause I've got NO THRESHOLD FOR PAIN.

Pain level: 2/10

It's like tattooing I guess? Dipping of ink and fine cuts/slits forming hair like structure (at least that's what it felt like to me).

Pardon my unglam face but as you can see, the left brow has been filled in and the right brow is left untouched for comparison purposes.

And when both brows are embroidered:

It's red and patchy but my buddy says they look really natural so *yay*

MY NO MAKE UP FACE HAHA

The ink will start to fade off in a week or two and start to look really natural like brows you were born with. Sigh what to do? Mine is sparse or pretty much non-existent.

OKAY HERE COMES. I paid $270 for my trial but usual price is $1000-$2000 depending on darkness and including touch ups.

Overall I'm pleased and I might just do the full package when I have a job to support my aesthetics expenses. HAHA WHAT GIRLS PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH TO LOOK PRETTY.

Till then, my loves x

By Myah Hollis

It isn’t hard to fall in love with someone and start to compartmentalize your life around them. It’s not hard at all; it’s actually effortless, unconscious and really emotionally convenient. You start to divide yourself into pieces — things you like about yourself, things you don’t, things you want to change, things you want to be, things you want to avoid, etc — and you use that person as a glue; a kind of synapse that allows each piece to coexist and interact with each other independently and without interference. You use that person to link parts of you that are only disjointed because you disconnected them. You were whole on your own, but you broke yourself so that they could hold you together and fill the gaps. You stay with them because you’re terrified of falling apart once you come unglued and those synapses stop firing.

We put too much weight on our relationships. It’s not a bad thing to want someone. You should be able to lean on them for support and feel stronger when you’re with them. The problems start when you use that person as a foundation to build yourself on. They shouldn’t be responsible for supporting all of your weight. You shouldn’t prop yourself so precariously on another person so that any movement on their part shakes your world and threatens to bring it crashing down.

Too many women stay in relationships that aren’t nourishing, positive or constructive because they think they have to. We don’t always trust our ability to be happy and content on our own. Though our need to be self-sufficient is easily understood theoretically, it becomes a little abstruse when you’re in the thick of things.

You can’t remember how you were happy before him. You’re sure you never cared this much for someone, and everything before them is unclear. Who did you used to talk to before you could roll over at 3 am and ramble to a semiconscious boy about all of the things keeping you awake? What did you used to do with your time before late night dinners, Netflix sessions, and random weekend trips became tradition? How did you do anything with ease, when everything with them feels instinctual and routine?

Falling in love with a boy is easy. Falling in love with yourself is much harder. It’s easy to pass the responsibility of your happiness off on another person, and it gives you someone to blame if things don’t go according to plan. No matter how badly you want someone, no matter how high you think the stakes are or how deep you’re in, you can always walk away.

It may feel like everything is ruined, but it’s not. You’ll move on. You’ll love someone else and wonder how you were ever happy before him. You should fall in love naively and often. The best kinds of love make you feel like you can’t breathe. I hope you find someone who you want so badly that you feel you’re drowning. It’s okay to feel deeply. Just know that when it passes, you’ll be fine.

Thank you Jocelyn for highlighting this. It's so apt.

Ps: In my secondary school PE shirt from 4-7 years ago, currently known as my pjs. HEHE.

Okay so most of my close friends know that I've got no eyebrows and I'm excited to share that this coming Thursday, I'd be going for browhaus' eyebrow resurrection trial.

No more money alr after that but who cares right? I'd have brows after!

Me: 'I missed 3 days of sleep, I need like 30 days sia'

Keith: 'HAHAHA LIDDAT I need a lifetime of sleep'

Me: 'We all do'

Me: 'That's why we die.'

Keith: 'WAH'

Keith: 'Sarah the wise'

Have You Ever

Chanced upon 'something' after hiding it away for a long, long time?

Be it having hid it all the way at the back of your closet or swept under the carpet literally or a blog post saved as draft or even deep down in your heart somewhere, you have been living in denial.

You would agree that the phrase 'out of sight out of mind' makes perfect sense.

Until, looking at it brought back a whirlpool of conflicting emotions you had tried so hard to forget.

You know what they say, 'Everything happens for a reason.'

When we hid that 'something', somewhere, we did it for a reason. 

Maybe it was too painful. Maybe it wasn't the right time. Maybe you didn't know how to deal with it. Or maybe you just didn't want to deal with it.

And when that 'something' appears out of nowhere or in my case, chancing upon it, happens for a reason too.

Maybe you're still stuck in the same situation. You might cry. Maybe you've grown out of it, moved on. You might smile. Maybe you still remember the good and the bad times. You might feel the bittersweet pangs like it all just happened yesterday. Or maybe you even forgot what you were running away from in the first place. You might be able to face it, fight it, and deal with it.

What I am trying to say is that, everything happens for a reason and I know what mine is. Do you?

For me, mine is a wake up call. A harsh slap of reality right across (or rather in) my face. I am not ready, but I would be in time to come. In the meantime, I am preparing myself for the biggest leap of faith just yet.

Cindy's and Priscilla's 21st Birthday Dinz

16th September 2014, Tuesday

Dinner at Hai Di Lao @ 313

It was my first time there and honestly, the experience was fantastic (like 10 out of 10). Full marks. Best service in Singapore and the food was good.

When we first sat down, the waiter was super enthusiastic and nice. If you are served by Bing Cong, then lucky you. The whole night we kept teasing him, you should actually see his face. HAHA. For every 2 tables, a waiter was allocated/designated? Talk about service.. 我的天! 

So Pris having been there before, took over the menu and started ordering on the IPad.

In the meantime, Danielle and I were enjoying our hot towels. Yes hot towels like on SQ. Shiok or what.

OMG did you know they actually provide zip lock bags for your phones?! Yes. For those of you who can't put down your phone for one second and you're afraid that your precious iPhone may have hot soup splattered all over, check this out:

No kiddz. It still works perfectly fine.

Danielle Wong Pei Shi and I goofing around, like we ALWAYS do. I miss this girl many many, she made my poly life so much more bearable <3

Birthday girl no 1. Priscilla Tan Rui Sin. That IJ girl who said hi to me 4 years ago during my first day in poly. My very first friend, and friends for life <3

Birthday girl no 2. (affectionately known as) Cindy Chong Ping Pong. That not so quiet girl if you know her. We've drifted apart quite a bit from time to time but I'm glad that 4 years later, we're still celebrating birthdays together <3

They are not twins (if only, how cool would that be manszxc) but both their birthdays fall on 17th September. We did dinner the night before because Pris was flying off to hongkong with her boyfriend on the actual day. They should be enjoying dimsum while I'm blogging now. HAHA

This is Bing Cong serving us hot towels but it's blur 'cause I took this photo when my phone was in the zip lock bag.

We were so troublesome. 'I want parsley and spring onion.' 'I don't want parsley.' 'I don't want spring onion.' 'I everything also don't want.' But he was so patient with us. Best service remember? We actually recommended him to his boss before we left. He like happy only 'Eh thanks uh thanks' HAHA Y SO CUTE OMG.

We had their signature Chicken soup (which was sooo good we stole a few sips before it started to boil LOL) and Seafood soup. The broth is the same white soup but there's really a difference!

While waiting for Elizabeth to come.. but first, let us take pictures. Lol

We made Dandan wear the apron cause she clumsy clumsy plus she was wearing a white dress underneath. HAHAHA SO CUTE LA THIS GIRL. Sorry blur photo cause the zip lock bag really..

Oh oh! Did you also know they provide rubberband for girls?!?! I felt damn suaku but talk about service! Impressive max uh? For hygiene purposes the rubberbands are all new and one time usage only.

Following pictures were snapshots from a video:

Bing Cong serving us our dinz. OMG DID YOU KNOW HE WILL PEEL OUR PRAWNS FOR US IF WE ORDERED PRAWNS?!

When Dandan's bowl was served first.

See all so happy! Where's mine?

O.O DAMN GOOD

SHIOK

Happygirl93

Her face when I asked her to say bye at the end of the video. HAHAHA This girl omg last warning :)

Our Food Came *breathes heavily*

Before dinz the girls kept saying, 'They said this was good, that was good.' Then I asked, 'Who is the 'They'?' HAHA OKAY BUT NOW LET ME BE YOUR 'THEY'. MEAT IZ GOOOOOD.

Just the 4 of us first <3

Finally, full attendance <3 Elizabeth made it for dinz dinz.

Standing up seemed better so bimbos being bimbos, one more shot thanks. Hahaha

We ordered noodles and their noodles are handmade with the chef performing in front of your table! WTF, HAHA. The following are snapshots from the video KungFu Noodles in making:

This part was damn funny. The chef flung the KungFu Noodle to Dandan's direction and you see how she tried to siam the noodle. HAHAHA JOKE

Mummy lizzy, kept scooping the ingredients for us <3

Service with a smile :)

Oh although this was topping up our water, he did it every 15 mins. It's the same for our soup. The service I really.. *two thumbs up*

When I asked everybody to wave bye bye on the video :)

After Dinner

Before dinz I went to Chocolate Origin to grab their birthday cake. Seriously the service.. I cannot rave about it anymore than I am already raving.

They put it with the fruit platter and note the watermelon carving plus heart-shaped watermelon cut outs. Okay la a bit orbit-ohpiang but can feelszxc their sincerity not?

Ps: the table beside us and the table beside beside us were all celebrating their birthdays too. So 3 tables in a row, 3 birthday songs.

WUUUT.

Lub lub lub lub lub <3

TADAH! May all your wishes come true girls <3

Finally, 21 and legal.

The cake was not too bad. It felt like fondue cause chocolate and watermelon was just nomz nomz nomz.

We gave a slice to Bing Cong too, he looked so happy. Hehe

Their birthday cards and cake from the 3 of us. Dandan, Liz and I shared out the bill. It was their birthday dinz, so it's our treat. It is generally more expensive than your usual steamboat but both Dandan and I felt that it was really worth it!

GUESS WHAT? ON OUR WAY OUT, WE SAW THIS:

FREE MANICURE AT THE WAITING RECEPTION. WHAT THE FUCK.. SERVICE IS THE BEST OKAY? BEST. CANNOT FIGHT. Free manicure while waiting??? There's a play area for children and free refreshments at the waiting area too. Just wtf wtf wtf.
