Just packing

The other day, we decided to travel all the way to Anchor point to shop around after hearing how things are cheaper there cos its like a factory outlet mall. Theres Typo there and i am so freaking excited cos I LOVE TYPO. 

Everytime im at town, i will never fail to go visit Typo no matter if theres anything i wanna get or not. I just love that shop so much i have no idea why! Things there are obviously overpriced (just like cotton on. Duh, same company) but they have very cool stuffs! I always go there to take a look and not buy anything hahaha #cheapo

So anyway, Anchor point's Typo has more items that are on sale and i bought some stuffs for my room.

Before: 

After:

Thats the shelves that is on sale the other super long time ago when im at ikea. So its super cheap but the carrying home part after that, is quite difficult. Got my dad to fix it and voila! A shelve for my books!

Bought the LOVE bookstand for only freaking $4 and that red mug for $2. Original price was quite steep for both so once i saw it, i immediately grabbed it and just head over to the cashier asap. 

Some of my Favorite books. If you can't already tell, my favorite authors are: Sophie kinsella, Jojo Moyes, Cecelia Ahern and John Green and i LOVE Grey's Anatomy.

All authors are young adults author. I like reading romance books. And yes i love reading. Whenever i tell my friends that i do actually enjoy reading, they'll be like "huh? you read one meh? don't look like leh. Don't act la" hahahah fuck you.

Anyway, The only book i like by John Green is The fault in our stars. I read "Searching for Alaska" after finishing the first one cos i thought his book must be good since TFIOS is great but NO! SFA suck. I don't have any freaking idea what the whole book is about. Boring too. Anyway, I remembered that i was on the night flight back home from BKK during my first trip(January)  there this year and everyone was sleeping but i just can't, so i decided to finish up my TFIOS book. Worst decision ever! I cried so much and hard while reading the last few chapters, I think with all the crying sound, the passengers on board might think there's a ghost on board with them hahahaha.

Now that i own a Kindle, i don't really buy any physical books anymore cos i usually download it from torrent (FREE HEHEHEHE) or buy the E version one from Amazon and transfer it into my Kindle. Easy. However, i do like the idea of having a physical book more, though its heavier to bring out. Oh well.

Happiest 5k

Took part in my first ever marathon, The color run!! Though its only 5km, one where no one expects anyone to be running, its still a marathon!! Oh please, who on earth thought i'd actually join one huh? Uh uh, not me.

Tickets are selling like super freaking hothotcakes and Ethel and i managed to only get hold of the one on 18th. We really really wanted the 17th one cos i wanna be the FIRST to experience the color run (since this is the first event in Singapore) and i can be like "oh you went for color run too? which day? Sunday? oh thats slow. I went for the first day one and knew whats gonna happen the next already haha, loser" to others who went for the second day. Oh well, looks like i can only be the loser :(  But hey!! Sunday one turned out super fun! Heard people saying its more happening too! SO WHO IS THE LOSER HERE NOW HUH?!? uh uh, not me.

so we cabbed down to vivo. What? I dont wanna wear sport shoes and go take public transport!! Thats a huge fashion no no to me! Theres free tram ride to siloso beach. WEEEEEEEEEEE~~  Also, we saw unicorn and there's lots of bananas:

This is the starting point of the run. There's a lot of wave because of the huge massive amount of people. The starting point is also the point where they start splashing colored powder on us.

This is us in the end!!! 

Not that bad huh? I was covering my face whenever i ran through the powder splashing part. Can you imagine? I walked throughout the whole journey and when the splashing part is almost here, I RAN WITH ALL THE LIFE WITH HANDS COVERING MY FACE *ROOARRRR* sorry the roar seems appropriate. hahaha very funny. But that also means you'll get splash more. Which i did, just that it all went into my ear. 

Above image is the end product of me at the end of the whole thing. Things got worst when the "after-run-party" event thing started. Music, people dancing and throwing of more colored powder. This is the time where being only 160cm sucked. The powder made me not able to breathe properly. But im fine. Didnt stay long cos its was pretty lame. This band called before you exist was performing. Who the hell is that? IDK.

Went home and Maggie was damn grossed out by me. Bathing took quite awhile cos i was trying to scrub off everything which obviously fail. So till now, after a week, i still have a little red on my arms. hehe

It is indeed the happiest 5k (not that i've join any other 5k before) with everyone so enthu but im all like "eh ok, chill chill i know you excited and happy but seriously, chill" in my heart. Not sure if i'll join again next year cos the bathing and going home part (i took mrt ok) is quite a torture.

The deal with HuiYi

Its 4am in the morning now and since i cant seem to be able to sleep, i decided not to and just head over to the airport to send Huiyi off later. While waiting for my season one of Friends to download finish, thought i'll blog abit.

I met HuiYi while working at Prudential as a personal assistant 2 years back. We were just temporary colleagues who have lunches together occasionally. But somehow us being just temporary colleagues turned into being close friends. I introduced her my favorite Starbucks toffee nut latte but she being the auntie thought its too sweet for her liking and stick back to her usual mocha (which i like too) haha.  I like how we are never serious in conversations and will never piss each other off (but then again, all my other friends and i are like that too) and how i always laugh so much (and loud) till i tear. I like how shes always serious in things when needed to be and unlike me, forever fooling around. Shes like another older sister to me (tho i have 3 already, 1 more doesn't make a difference hehe), one that i can tell everything too and is very supportive whenever i tell her i want to do this or that. Its weird because i don't really like telling people things about myself( like seriously do not like doing that). I guess im just reallyreally comfortable when im around her. I am very happy that shes doing very well in all aspects iof life and can't wait to hear more exciting news when shes over at Beijing for a whole year! Speaking of which, i can't wait to head over Beijing to visit her too!! WEEEEEEEE~~ I am really happy to have met such a wonderful person. I will see you soon.

Change is the only constant.

There was this period of time few months back where the #whatpubertydidtome hashtag was trending. Many many people were posting their transformation throughout the years on Instagram/Facebook. I did also made one and posted but deleted after awhile because..... well i dont know why.

Showed some of my friends that photo i made and they commented how hideous i was when i was 13-16 and how different i look now, as compared to that. I thought to myself "hey, i don't look THAT bad last time what? Why is everyone over-reacting??" But actually those are just words to comfort myself hahahaha

This is then why i decided to see the changes in me via posting past and current photos of me. Yes, you are very welcome. Laugh all you want, Its okay.

(Photos are all according to month of the year. First photo will be early of that year and last photo will be end of that year.)

2009

15 year old me:

yeah okay. i looked super wtf , i realised. hahahahhahah

2010

16 year old me :

2011

17 year old me :

2012

18 year old me:

2013

19 year old me:

And so this is the me now. 

I'm not sure if you can tell but 2010 is the year where my acne became worst. My cheeks was filled with pimples all over. I have to always cover it up with concealer and foundation before i head out. After my N Levels, i decided to visit the dermatology. Did research and went to the one at Paragon and spent a bomb! My dermatologist gave me some stuffs to apply but me being the lazy me as usual, stopped after awhile.That is why my acne did improve a little but still exist, all thanks to the lazy me.

Decided to let my hair grow longer at the last few months of 2010. BEST.DECISION.EVER. I have short hair for more than half of my life.  If you are wondering what took me so long,  Its because i always thought i will look super weird and can't imagine myself with long hair, so my hair is always super short. If you'd ask me to go through that period again, errr no thanks? Just kill me!

2012 was the year i tried dying my hair and swear never ever ever (getting back together) go back to black because i look very bad in black hair!! I also then discovered double eyelid tape only during August of that year? SO FREAKING HAPPY. I can has bigger eyes! Before discovering of double eyelid tape, life sucked (hahahah). I have uneven eyes, where my right has double eyelid while my left don't. So whenever i take photos, my left eye tend to appear smaller than my right. But after finding out this miracle double eyelid tape, I CAN HAS EVEN EYES!! Applying of eye makeup is soooo much easier and better too!

 I'd like to thank double eyelid tapes for existing. Though it took lots and lots of practice (and patient). The first few times of application caused my lids to swell because its too sticky. But after a few months, i got the hang of it and voila! 

My skin improved too, not sure why. But i hope it stays like that for long!! I think i have a permanent double eyelid on my left eye now. Maybe cos i've been using double eyelid tapes for super long already. Watched Michelle Phan's video and hers took 3 months (only wtf) to turn permanent. Not sure if it works for everyone cos mine took quite long. But i am still very thankful!!

So we have come to and end and i have to agree that i did change. Not sure in what term cos looks wise, i thought my face is still the same. Weight wise? Same old same old. Oh personality wise, no changes at all for sure haha. So what could it be then?
