2008-2011

Updated again.
Can't stand the make up mode in my camera (make me look so ghastly and washed out).
Warmed my picture hehhheee.


 SEE HOW IMPORTANT COLOURS ARE?
I think by changing the colour contrast etc will make a picture nice.
Added a layer of black for lashes and coloured my purple lips (London is cold~~) to cherry.

Btw, the tools I used to warm up the picture are photo filter and levels. No need 'blusher'. Just play around with the two!



Enjoy!
Back to snacking on tiger biscuit and doing Maths. FMLLLLLL.







Gah I can't sleep. 4am. Spent the past hour digesting my maggie mee (refused to sleep right after food), watching bubzbeauty's videos and photoshopping.

I've tuition the first thing in the morning. I'm doubting my ability to wake up tomorrow. So why not don't sleep?
Like possible.
Will probably drop dead later after this post.


Anyhow, back to what I was doing.
Photoshop hur. Skills will get rusty, just like my brain. Desperately trying to use my brain nowadays loool.
I did the craziest editing. I always do crazy things in the middle of the night. #lonelygirlforever.

Obviously all the makeup are put on via photoshop (mad love)
The only thing authentic is the background? And oh, my eyes.
Wait, I've contacts on. EOS 14.8mm grey lens. Love it but really dry.
And another pair I got was labelled 325 degrees but the len is 0 degrees. WHO CAN GET MORE SUAY THAN ME? WHO?

Should change my eye colour too. I know. Tried but it turned out pretty scary.
GAH I SIDE TRACK A LOT PS.


Main point is, check out the hair colour!
I almost chosen this shade (which look like shit imo). Luckily I chose dark oak, which gave me almost dark-brown look.
Well, a lot of people still insist it is black fml.

I THINK I'M PRETTY GOOD IN DOING THIS HEHEEE. Wanted to photoshop my hair colour for the longest time. Didn't know how and was too lazy to do the cropping blahblah.


It is pretty rough, you can see tint of black here and there halaaaa. Nvm it's a job well done for a first-timer!

I edited like 2 times. Uploaded the first one on facebook.
Did second editing because I found something super weird.
MY BROWS.
If you see the first, you will agree with me; brown hair, black brows = big no-no.
So I went to manually painstakingly colour my eyebrows brown. Loool.


I don't think I'm made for brown hair. I think I look like some indecent girl/ahlian?
Hello jet black. Me love you.

Super fun. Maybe I should try on others. Sooooon.
Maybe I should study this?

SO FUN I'M GOING TO PHOTOSHOP ALL MAI PICTURES AGAIN. LOOOL.
Very little photos nowadays because if I take 100 I only can use 10 -____- All others are blur, poor lighting, fat, ugly, idkhowtodescribeface, screwed, plain turn-off.

WTF THE CAT JUST SCREAMED REAL LOUD. I'M SCARED I WANNA GO BACK TO BED NAO. :(
Today is considered a fruitful day. Before I start, I would talk about 2 random things.


Been trying to braid a decent fishtail for the past few days! How the hell do they manage to make it sooooo perfect?!!



Fishtail braids are like my favourite hairstyle now. The sad thing is I can never get a decent one on my head. Well well...

Anything with braids (except for those China kungfu-alike style = my style.) rocks!


The second thing will be at the end.




I photoshop this picture to dead.

Let's start!









Can I skipped school events? Really bad because it's just lessons after lessons. Nothing weird/funny/surprising.
Maybe the only interesting thing is I ate chicken burger, chicken cutlet and a drink today.



Headed to cwp after school. One of the earliest possible day to leave school.
I like.

Chased after the buddies but ite they wanted to head back to the hostel. No exploration of cwp and Mr Bean ice-cream :(


Went to popular to stock up some things. Can't find my board, can't find my pencil case (btw my rabbit one broke hahahhaa), can't find my pink pen. T___T CWP POPULAR SUCKS.


Parted with them and went to tpy.

Got many things done there:

1. Trim my brows.
Didn't go for the usual method. This time it's literally cutting and shaving. It doesn't hurt a bit. Yeaaa it's too thin I know. I'm growing them back and sticking to korean brows for good. Luckily I have bangs to cover them (I'm growing them out as well)

2. Cut my hair
Trimmed my ridiculously shaped bangs (though I'm growing them back to fringe hmm), snapped a good few inches (jk it's a good few cm). Really tempt to cut to bob or slightly over shoulder. A little while more. Maybe on my 18th birthday? A brand new start. Layered them too. (Too many girls are having the same style and I'm sick of it. No layer, V-shaped long, black hair) Not very obvious cause I only got the ends layered.


3. Massage
This is the first time in my life going to a saloon (or whatever you call it) for a massage. Damn shoulders they're as stiff as wood. Really comfy! When she used the lavender essential oil I feel dizzy. As in, drugged! Super calming! I never felt that way before in my entire life.
I guess essential oil really works. 

The ambiance is really good and my therapist is super friendly. I don't even feel awkward when I've to change into a weird piece of cloth.
Hmm.

1.5hours there. Really relaxing. It's good to pamper myself a little once in a while.
It's..... really ex so I wonder when I would go back for another self-discovery session again. LOOL.
Even if I sign the package the difference wouldn't be significant.
That sum of moneh is enough to fund my uk trip.



Wanted to queue for koi but as usual, insane.
When I'm done with everything, yq and sw were done with their self-discovery swim. Lol.

 Econs FA tomorrow.
I.NEED.TO.START.STUDYING.




As I've mentioned, I edited that picture for xyz hours. 
Because of some reason. 
I don't plan to edit at allllllll but I realised there's a big flaw in da original picture!

Okay this is perhaps the only time I'll show you guys the before picture...










See that? 



If you can't, it's the nose. Check out the nostril. -.-
Idk why it's out of shape.



Okay. side by side.

I like the colors of the 'before' pictures more than the 'after' though. Too white. Too washed out. Hehehee. Nvm C:
































Growing fringe back to above/bangs?
Some people are like fuck. No wonder. t(-.-t)
щ(゚Д゚щ)


Attention! I hardly have time to sit down and blog nowadays because the workload is literally crushing me. (Damn-my-last-minute-attitude). Really trying to change this shit so at least I can rest more and not rush.


A brief update about yesterday.
PE was pretty good. Spent most of the time talking about Apple's app. Ran 5 rounds and managed to clock in at about 13+ minutes. Determination is the key to everything. It wasn't exceptionally good but for a level-D runner (aka me) it's good enough.


I just want a freaking C.


Forgot my file (which contains my everything) in N2-4. Ran from LT1 > N2-4 > GO > N2-4 > GO > LT1. Almost fainted.


Oh I skipped Autumn Concerto (correct or not?) to study for chem. 1 hour revision is indeed not enough. Haizxzzzz. Spent rest of the time doing some work.


--------------------------------------------------------

Literally slept all the way on the way to school. I'm THAT tired. Usually I just close my eyes and rest for a while but today I slept.


School was... okay. Had CCA meeting after Chem retest. Hmm.


Event of the day is: Trapped outside my haos. T___________T


FML I could have used the 2 hours outside for a good lovable nap.
Lesson learnt: FOR GOD SAKE BRING KEYS. errr maybe for your own sake.



I was trying my best to look like I'm not trapped outside my house. So I packed my shoe cabinet, went down and grab a cup of milk tea, sweep the floor outside (-___-), water the plants with leftover ice from my milk tea, took pictures, exercise, dry my umbrella etc.


In the end went down to the stone tables and played Dactyl. Really suck when you don't have keys + money + low battery + no earpiece.

Some random shots with 3.5mp. *snorts*

The paint that never come off. Loan shark incident. (Not my family okay). 


Growing chili! :D


Just a random plant outside. I really like this picture. C:

Still a beginner when it comes to photography. I don't have the artistic talent in me you see. 
I guess I'll have to start learning how to optimise my phone. Might have to settle with this camera for my fyp hahah! Who knows. 


Have to start thinking about my FYP already. Hmmm.

Sooo I finally done this post. It's a tedious job. Appreciate!


PS, I'll be deleting my archives here soon. I can't stand how I blog in the past (young once don't laugh at me kthxbyai).


Got requests hence I'm trying my best to fulfill them!

So in summary:
Before 2008: filter gallery
2008-2010: Years of horrible editing. I believe there's only 30% is real (hmm doesn't apply to all). 
2010: Used webcam. The camera is too lousy to capture any imperfections. so reduce editing pictures
2010: Hardly fix anything/minimum at least. 





1. Always edit: Levels/color/lighting

As of how to you can check youtube or websites.



What I do to each part

Eyebrows
Before: Neaten them, darken them.
Now: Don't bother, trim them and fill them in with eyebrow pencil. Cheap and good one is Maybelline. I'm using the one in Grey. I usually draw my arch lower, Korean brows are in now and they look nicer. 


Eyes
1. Pupils
Before: Bloat even after lens
Now: Wear 14.5mm! Enough already. Except for certain angles, dont know why.

 With lens

W/o lens

2. Eye liner and lashes
Before: Draw in/darken for line and photoshop brush for lashes
Now: USE EYELINER FOR TOP, CARBON FOR BOTTOM. COAT 1 LAYER Of MASCARA. A good one would be maybelline pink tube one. (there's a hello kitty edition for it). I don't own one but I used it before. It's like the cheapest one that served well.



w/o a good line = weird eyes


Basically, make up. For shadows you can choose pearl/shimmer. Just to bring some light to your eye area.

4. puffy/dark eye rings (still fighting this)
Before: Make picture extra bright
Now: Regular sleep + concealer. Worse case? color them by ps.

5. Open your eyes bigger
(LOL)


Nose+Jawline
Before: Massive shrinking
Now: Would liquify when required.
Slim down = smaller nose + cheek
And and and do not dig your nose hahaha.
Take pictures from the right angle!
Drain the excess water (Youtube it if you don't know how)

Wrong angle + FU expression




Acne
Before: Cover them
Now: Still cover them


Do not: 
1. take pictures under direct light or you would end up like this:

Bright nose = fat nose


But make sure it isn't too dark or you would end up like this:

Dark like armpits


Instead, stand a 2~3m away from light source. Natural lighting is the best!

 Use your fringe to create a little shadow so your eyes look bigger (eyes dilate in the dark)



2. not smile. (that is must smile)


3. blink 
Half-opened/closed eyes are turn-off. No amount of editing can save you. Unless this:

4. Use lousy camera!
Although cant capture imperfections but they ain't as pretty as pictures taken by DSLR/semi-pro.
*credits to LT and WL*




5. Take pictures when there is horrible lightings. (esp orange!)




Then you don't have to edit anymore! 
Have a good base to work with, something like that.


I hope now you all get it. :D



PS, The actual photos are in facebook. Some are pretty well-taken. Unless I uploaded them via computer, it will be untouched.
PS/S, in case you're wondering why I edited the pictures we took yesterday, that is because everyone got fat and MU sucks that day. 


Gonna do the post tyx asked to write, soon. I need to gather information and test some stuff out.
