Did my nails again and this time my camera was just beside me so I snapped the process of me getting them done.
I dont usually like 'drawing' on my nails because I really cant draw for nuts but this is simple enough so you can give it a shot! But anyhow, ventured out of my comfort zone (gradiation, marbling, french tips, etc) and I think it turned out okay? Not exactly a success since 70% of the chicks arent cute but yea... Still not THAT bad.
White nail polish or basically any light opaque colours are super hard to work with. Even with my CG polish, it leaves streaks if im not fast enough and it becomes really uneven. For this design, I did 3 coats of white polish followed by 2 coats of the yellow polish.
Nail polish that I used:
-OPI Base Coat
-China Glaze in White Out
-The Face Shop in YL703
-China Glaze in Liquid Leather
-OPI in Brights Power
-Seche Vite Top Coat
The pictures were actually much clearer but it became blurry after I made them into collages.
Also, I know in the second picture the surface of the chicks looks really uneven but the top coat I used is really good such that it smoothed out the surface.
I highly recommend Seche Vite top coat rather than OPI Top Coat. However, Seche Vite dries up/ thickens EXTREMELY fast so if you dont paint your nails often, try to get the mini bottle instead. This way you wont feel so heartpain when it dries up.
I've accepted the offer already and in Auguest I'll be attending SMU's Business school!
So sad that I wont ever experience hostel life but well, after 2 years of inconvenience with TPJC, I've learnt my lesson and NEVER will I subject myself to another 3 years of inconvenience with the West side universities.
On Saturday I met up with YF and SS for lunch at Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery.
YF & I ordered an European set while SS ordered an English set.
As a HUGE egg benedict lover, I found mine not as good as I expected.
Lately, so many people have been raving about Wild Honey so maybe I tried the wrong thing off their menu but my poached egg tasted slightly sour- they probably used too much vinegar. And the ham they used to wrap my poached egg was not that good either.
SS's English set was fine- you cant go wrong with an english breakfast set actually.
After lunch, I went to work!! My first day of work and it was tough. I am already entertaining thoughts of quitting but i think i'm still gonna stick it out for at least another week.
Afterall, its not like I have anything else better to do, right?
& Sunday was a really fruitful day! Shall blog about it soonest!
x
It feels like the world is conspiring to bring all good things my way!!
Visualisation is key so I'm gonna visualise myself graduating with first class honours(hehehe dream big they say) and living comfortably by 30!
Have you read The Secret? Besides XX, a couple of tumblrs I follow have been living life with The Secret and they all have very good things happening to them.
I DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE. IT IS MY BIRTH RIGHT.
Since my last entry I got down with a horrible, horrible fever, with temperatures reaching 39.8 and constantly lurking around 39.2-39.6. Pretty crazy because my high fevers usually reach really high temps but burn out pretty quickly. My personal highest temp was 40.2.
Yea but unfortunately, this time my high fever accompanied me for almost 4 days.
It subsided only for awhile, only to come back with a vengence hahah
So altho I was supposed to spend my sick days in bed nursing a fever, I went about spreading my virus ^^
On Friday I headed over to JB for yums and hopped by for a body massage and on Saturday evening I met D for a private movie screening at Cine- pretty cool experience.
Headed over to Alleybar later in the night and talked about (his) lost childhood and all that stuff.
Come to think of it, its quite hard to believe how me and D manage to stay good friends until today.
You know the kind of people that you dont talk to all the time but you JUST KNOW that whenever you want/need to talk to someone, that person will be willing to hear you out? Or the kind that you can dont talk to for a year, but once you talk to them, you dont quite feel the distance anymore?
In my life, I have a handful of such friends but people who I know who genuinely care and who I actually open up to, theres only A and D. They are also probably the only two who have ever seen me in all my drunken glory- sigh... something I'm so ashamed of up to this day :(((
Ok, on top of a mundane update of my life... TADA!!
My Korea/Seoul trip is confirmed!
I went to People's Park today with my parents to scout for tour packages but after consulting the almighty Google, I'm quite sure we'll be happier planning our trip ourselves.
Its really fun and interesting to plan your own itinerary and travel about a foreign country so I'm really all hyped up!
& heres kinda where I need your help...
I know a huge bulk of you are anti-kpop, and another bulk of you are silent readers, and well, the rest arent familiar with what I'm asking for but.....
Please share with me some interesting places to go to in Seoul/ good food to eat/ HOTELS/ kpop stores/ cafes/ sauna rooms/ theme parks/ travelogues/ whatever/ anything/ everything!! (Seoul only)
I've been reading up on travelogues and idk if its only me but its kinda hard to find Seoul travelogues? They just dont turn up on my Google page.
I really really really appreciate all responses on this!
Kamsahamida!
In return, check out this entry for some food porn.
There's not much food pics but just that handful of pics makes me want to fly over to Seoul RIGHT. NOW.
I am having the WORST bodyache of the year right now.
Its not just my calves, thighs, core and upper arms... I even feel the ache in my bumbum and my back/shoulder muscles?? Its so nasty I am cursing with every step I take.
This is all thanks to the 30 Day Shred + Blogilates.
30 Day Shred/ Blogilates are basically fitness/work out plans that I got interested in lately. The last time I attempted it, I survived until Day 7 but right now I cant quite be bothered about it. I'm only doing it every once in awhile and whenever I feel like it.
& to add on to my agony, I am having a horrible, horrible headache and my body is heating up. I hate this. You know the kind of feeling you get before you fall sick?
Like you're not actually sick but you feel as if your body is warm and WW3 is going on in your head?
Just get a full-blown fever already!! Stupid body.
I also went grocery shopping alone today and discovered a couple of things. (Have I mentioned its my favourite hobby now?)
1. Greek yogurt (Brand: Nestle) taste like sour cream. I dont care if its the healthiest option when it comes to yogurt. It tastes like sour cream and because it's texture is similar to tofu... I felt like I was eating fermented tofu...It was bad.
2. Skimmed Milk is also the healthiest option when it comes to milk but once again.... Even for a milk lover...It was Revolting. I dont even know how can anyone enjoy drinking skimmed milk. No, really. It was horrible.
3. Salsa dressing, the one you can find in the chips section/ the one for doritos, is a great dressing for baked chicken breasts. Just bake your chicken breast with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and top it with salsa dressing. Yums and no need for marinades!
And finally, 4. Cherry tomatoes= Acquired taste! I used to hate tomatoes and pick it out of my burgers but now its one of my favourite nibbles! (Ooh it rhymes)
++
Something that came in the mail also made my (yester)day....
Song Joongki's Fanmeet!
(Yes and all anti-kpop readers, I'm sorry.)
I am extremely happy today because something good happened to me :)))
Shall talk about it when the time comes!
I dont understand why people think staying home is such a bad thing.
Then again... I miss going out, dressing up and heck, even having mascara on!
Lately I've been so sloppy, I pretty much just throw on a basic tee and shorts and dab on some concealor before leaving the house. - Kinda explains why I dont have much pics of myself on this space anymore.
I really need a job and Ive been trying to get one but nobody wants to hire me...
not cool.
okies gootnight dont let the bed bugs bite!
p.s- Ive finished Prosecutor Princess and halfway thru My Girl now. I actually miss TVD & GG A LOT but funshion is throwing a hissy fit and I dont like/want to torrent... Can somebody so kindly share with me some streaming sites for GG/ TVD/ Big Bang Theory/ Modern Family? TQ x10! :-)
Once again, I've gotten myself a ticket for Boyz Nite Out, a korean concert in Singapore featuring SHINee, Teen Top, B1A4 and 7.9.4.2.
Honestly... I've only heard a couple of the more popular songs and probably only recognise Key and Choi Minho among the 4 groups but oh wells!
I'm going alone for this which is pretty sad and a little weird cos I'd never expect myself to go for a concert alone (unless its Super Junior) but hey! The last concert I went 'alone' (SS4 Day1), I got to know a HK doctor + gynae so I guess it'll all work out well.
So happy and excited! & I got good seats! Not arena but front facing terrace seats whoop whoop x
Now I look (in my opinion) very boyish/matured but my hair is so much easier to manage!!
Before the cut, I had to blow/straighten my hair every single time I head out but now it just falls nicely into place.
Oh Francis I love you so muchy *\0/*
I miss my old hair becos its more feminine but its just hair, it will grow.
I think I layered abit too much tho but my instructions werent clear so yea.
& Its like I'll never have long hair ever again... Im too impulsive!
When I woke up yesterday I was "Ok I want to highlight my hair" and then the moment I sat on the salon chair... "Can you do more layering for me blahblahblah..."
Have you noticed that since I got my short hair I hardly take pictures anymore?
I'm heading out in abit to get my hair dyed/highlighted and I'm thinking of doing a body perm as well... So scary to do all this with short hair because every little thing you do to it is very obvious. So if its bad... kua kua kua~
And if you've watched Avengers... doesnt it kinda remind you of my UFO post afew entries back!!
See! All these movies are like, subtle prep work to warn/prepare us for their invasion!
P.s- I love my new lipstick mwahhh
P.P.s- Very very upset I didnt get to go Kim Hyun Joong's fanmeet last friday because nobody wanted to go with me and I dont like him enough to go alone but Still....
