We all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.

It's not easy to find someone that has the same interests, same problems & same attitude as you.

Rising early and sleep early. "That's what old people do!" Well, it isn't really the case. Everyone can choose their timing to anything they want but what matters to me is maintaining a healthy lifestyle routine. I don't follow healthy eating like 2-3 servings of fruits & vegetables a day etc. But I do make sure that what I eat are not too oily, salty & maybe too sweet. I drink KOI milk tea & black tea macchiato, but my sugar level will never exceed 50%. I sincerely hope that they really standardize their sugar-level measurements!

I have tried eating McDonald's or KFC about three times a week during my secondary school days. I can't help it since there were 2 mac and 1 kfc outlets near my school within (less than 5mins?) walking distance. And the food that I hate most was - fruits. It was regrettable that I didn't realise the consequences I'm paying during that period. Pimples, and pimples and more pimples broke out soon after I graduated from secondary school and slowly it became acne. Fighting acne alone is a chore, what's more is to fight my mental state. You can't help but stare at the girls in your class, envy with their flawless clear skin. You spent more than half of your allowances buying facial products, hoping it can treat your acne but well, most of the products are LIARS. You will never leave house unless you put on concealer and foundation or just wear a cap out so that no one recognise you. You hate hypocrite relatives that try to advice what you should do to cure the acne.

I started researching and viewing (youtube) tutorials on how to improve acnes when I came across this kind-pretty-gorgeous soul that releases many videos on skincare - what to eat, what to do, what to use. Most of the products were not expensive and DIY products such that we're able to do them ourselves! Really like to say a big THANK YOU to her for salvaging my face :) The most important point that I noted was that our face represents our health. If you have a healthy looking skin, it means that you're healthy. So I ate a lot of different kind of fruits, drank plenty of water and keep myself healthy!

Anyway, I read xiaxue's blog and was as usual being 'influenced' by influential opinion leaders on this product. (And I studied marketing!)

I bought Liese Iron Make Collection - Rich Straight

Because the straightener I bought couldn't last long and it does not produce very 'straight hair'. I was kind of disappointed because this straightener cost S$180. To my surprise, this heat spray really works. It made my hair last longer and feel straighter. And finally Briscillia realised I straightened my hair! Yayness. Good product & recommendation. *Thumbs up*

Finally after two weeks, my Tony Moly Gel eyeliner has arrived. Again, I bought Tony Moly because Song Joong Ki is the endorser and good reviews. The colour of the gel liner is Khaki Black because it is really special! Black eyeliner somehow makes my eyes look so fierce and harsh. I would want to avoid that.

Can you see the little golden sparkles?

The seller was really nice to provide a few samples from Missha and Skinfood!

I shall resume doing projects. Oh, and I requested to meet my Event Mgt tutor today at 10am for project consultation and she didn't turn up! We waited outside her office for 1 hour and finally gave up. What is this ... :( Shall stop whining.

Act as if what you do makes a difference.

Pretty Yuri ♥

I finally started my individual project today. (When I'm suppose to start on last Friday!) I've been dragging and slacking the whole weekend, doing useless things. I must buck up and move on, and most importantly stop procrastinating! ):

Brother went into army last friday and I missed him definitely. We went Pulau Tekong with him that day and toured around their military training base. That place seems to be nicer than my expectation, much better than chalets or camps. The food especially, was unexpectedly nice. Bro & me had a bet - within 2 weeks, who slim down more :o But it was not a fair bet as he would slim down because of those vigorous training while I'm at home munching and gobbling food & snacks. I have indeed gained weight rather than losing weight. This isn't right.

And I missed dear Sylvia too. She is the only one that can listen to my rants & troubles. We always have the same interests too. Hurry come back! We're only contacting each other through emails and because we're too busy, we only write once every week.

Let time flies faster please.

Now our house only has three ladies ... feeling insecure, pressurized & pointless.

Let a thousand flowers bloom

As mentioned, during the weekend before my mid-sem, I went to Malacca with family & mother's side relatives. It was not an awesome trip but still a great one, considering the fact that I've not went on holiday for a few years? Malacca has many old houses and shops, with many good food. There're always long queue for famous restaurants or shop stalls (durian chendol, nonya food, chicken rice ball, oyster egg & more) But I think their food standard is not consistent because when they have large orders, they'll lose their quality of food ): The best dish I ate was Butter Crab at Malacca and Asam Stingray at Muar. Certainly, I went shopping there but I literally bought nothing for myself. Except a bag and bracelet. The stuff were so expensive even if it is converted to Sing dollars. (I wonder how the Malaysians survived buying basic things at such inflated price) I hope my next trip would be better!

Today marks the last day of my Mid-Sem Test. I think I did moderately because I don't know whether my answers are right or wrong. I'll try to think positively, if it's possible. :) After the Managerial Accounting test today, I went for a shopping spree with class clique - Briscillia, Priscilla, ShirLyn & Clive. It was a short one but we had achieved our goal! (Pastamania, Koi, Buying things that we need) and of course, I need to save $$.

Finally the two weeks holidays have arrived. It ain't really holiday for us but well, at least I don't need to attend tutorials/lectures and can concentrate on doing projects. Hope our group will be efficient! Some photos during the trip :

We cried on our journey to Malacca, viewing at the Malaysia old trees.

I couldn't believe that the one driving us to customs, grandma's house wasn't daddy but aunt.

Staring at the sky, I saw something that resembles ...

I knew he will be with us forever.
