2008-2011

Hey monday blues.
Was pretty excited for lectures and learning during Assembly today but everything died not long after.

Got back my chem FA. Well, flunked beautifully. Have so much things to do! Been slacking for the past few hours. I am going to shower and finish my Maths! Hmmm.

Actually you can't count me as slacking. I'm preparing for the new year.
Went to Yishun for hair cut, realised the one I went to a while ago closed down, travelled to Khatib and you know what? The one I wanted to try is fully booked. Haizxzz.

In the end I've to visit the usual one. Didn't want to go back to that place cause it's hell expensive. But well, I did it anyway.

Wanted to trim like 1cm but in the end a good old 5cm or so came off. She gave me straight cut and I really don't like it so I altered the shape.
Cut my fringe as well and finish up with straightening.

Really dont like the smell so I'm washing my hair. She told me to wait 1 day or what but I can't stand it anymore. Overwhelming.

I've nobody to blame if the locks turned out to be less straight, wavy, curly or whatsoever. I didn't listen to instructions anyway.

My bangs are loop-sided so please don't laugh at me okay. I'm growing them out.

Last thing, I'm not going to wear my specs for a while, until my bangs got longer.
I look like a dory now. T_____T

Ohhh! Gave the present! :D Failed ninja attack :( Am I really bad at stuff like that?
Hard to give someone surprise leh! And hard for people to make me happy.
I sorta, lost the definition. Till then.

What's gone is gone, no regrets, just love.

/Perhaps you don't understand how much some things meant to me. Some things matter, a lot.

Today is the H-day. Homework-day.
Okay maybe not totally. I reblogged awesome things on tumblr. :D

Whatsssup! I'm blogging via phone, again, in the shower room. Yes, waiting for my hair to drip dry.

I'm a crazy woman who love to do hair treatment in the middle of the night. I can't help it, got a new mask today. Smells like essential (essential smells better of course). Thick and very creamy.

Been using other brands a lot recently. I haven't finish my essential one but well. I find them expensive. Usually last me 10 times. Down side of long hair = waste treatment.

Currently this new bottle seems fine. Let's see how it turn out to be when my hair dries.

--------------------
Went for tuition, dad sent me there :) made my way to yishun and did my brows. Sis said look like Aunty! Fml where got! I think I look unfriendly (did a higher arch). This time round it wasn't painful at all. Like ZERO pain factor. Lool? Weird.

Walked around before heading to cp for lens (not exactly cheap but cheaper) and hair mask. You know you know. Got other stuff as well. Wanted to cut my hair but salons are bursting.

Oh I actually boarded the same bus as sm! Fate or what! Haaha!

Reached admiralty too early so slacked downstairs, COD entertained me of course(:

Tuition, dinner then home. (y)
Went out for dinner (again) with sis cause she's starvingg.

Btw got a present (first present I got in 2011!) and made a super cute card!
I hope he likes it omg.:x

Ps, if u want to see any pictures, check twitter. No com to upload it here.

Byeee I'm going to watch devil! It's on miotv! Check that out xb said it's awesome!(:

I believe many people should be really glad today is Friday. A good rest this week end before full-study mode.

Started with physics practical which ended up as physics 'lecture'. Argh. Hope FA is good.

Had some food before heading to GP lecture. Yawns. Boring as usual. Also, do not sit beside JiaChen! I drew him as a crocodile and he kept pulling my wig hahaha.

At least it's nice okay.

Had chem lecture. Headed to classroom for GP tutorial. Stayed back to finish up physics. Skipped mass dance thingy and went for CCA meeting. Ended at approximately 6+? Screwed up alllll my plans. No like.

I feel more attached to my CCA now. Undying passion. Wooo. I really wanna take a few good pictures but 1. I don't have a good camera and 2. I can't find my model 3. I don't know exactly how to take a good picture anyway.

Walked around the newly opened CWP with timtim. Meet up Ape and meimei after that. Parted at 8+.
Like slacking! :D

Tmr will be a good day. (L)

you make me happy

Im revising for physics right now. 12am. Lol.
I spent so much time on chem revision (at least more than any other subjects) and I actually can't do most of the questions. Mental block.. And never recovered.

So I'll make sure I score better for physics..

Today PE was good. I stopped running after 3 rounds. I'm too lazy to continue.
I like running. Not too much though.
Running makes me feel I'm living, I'm working hard to live.
Weird, I know.

Assembly was shit.
Lessons ended before 4!(:
Reached home approximately 4.30 and napped. 3 hours!(:
This is call happiness.

Cancelled my appointment tmr. I know I can't make it. Haizxzzz cca meeting haizxzzzzx.

Heading to cp perhaps to get most things done.

Right under, never complain. Shouldering everything and slowly, fade into nothing but a pile of Earth. Yet nobody remember.
Guess an organism. I feel like that organism right now.

Dear organic chemistry, I strongly feel that my brain is a good place for you to stay in. Heyhey, don't judge a book by its cover, a brain by its size.

School... Today was filled with tutorials and lectures. Had to write reflection letter again haizxzzz.

Kudo to Chem. I never start studying for FAs (despite saying I would for xyz times) but this upcoming chem, I am. In fact I am starting in a few minutes time.

I am standing in the shower room waiting for excess water in my hair to be pulled by gravity. Testing newton's law. I'd figure this would be a good time to blog as well. Maximize use of time.

Other than memorizing all the stuff in organic - mission impossible case 1, I have to make sure my hair dries before 1am, which is mission impossible case 2, without hair dryer.

Just fed nutrients to the dead locks and I don't wish to drain it so soon. Hahaha ciaos.

Hey hey! I'm blogging really early, via phone. I hope hope hope tonight I can sleep earlier. Life sucks when you have to go to bed, late.

Talked to mum and initially she was pretty pissed or what but at least this morning she seemed to be quite supportive.

Now I have one less thing to worry. I know I'm constantly whining about my family cause there's lots of things happening but it's pretty personal to say everything out here. That explains some weird/emotional tweets. I want to express them but I don't really know how. Just saying...

So back to school stuff. Hmm, let's skip all the uninteresting parts. I'm sure you wouldn't want to read chunks of words talking about simple harmonic motions or hydroxyl thingy, right? Chem lesson was less tedious as compared to yesterday. I must say she's a teacher that takes students' learning seriously.

Other than chem, had my first PE lesson. Did some training and stuff for napfa at Hall as it's raining. However we didn't escape the brutal truth. Ran 4 rounds and miraculously I managed to finish them in 10:44. Everything is impossible without hui min behind encouraging me:D

Stayed back for NYAA. finally done with that crazy thing, just dates and stuff like that.
Finished up and went home at approximately 7+.

I'm heavily, stained. Lol.

Alright lots of work to be completed. I don't wanna rush like a crazy woman later on. But, food first. :) maybe a nap? Idk super super tiring! Argh.

Hello. I'm pretty happy today. Woke up early for a good shower. It was cold but everything was worth it. Love the new shower foam.

Lessons was pretty mundane. Sleepy during Econs and physics. WTS.
Except for the intense chemistry lesson. Chemistry literally become an alien to everyone in 12A. Loool. Had to write a reflection at the end of the day.
Haizxz. Early dismissal for physics (sort of) MR ONG IS THE BEST LAAAA! :D

I've quite a bit of homework to touch today. Well well I better start cracking before it's too late.
I'm going to break the news to mom and dad later.

Ps, I got a new air-conditioner! (I know it's not really needed now cause weather now is plain awesome)
Ps/s, PE tmr I hope I don't break a bone or what. I'm pretty sure I can't even run a round.
Ps/s/s, I cooked dinner today. Not very nice. Hahaaa but who cares.
Ps/s/s/s, I'm selling my some of my brand new stuff.. I don't know. At a fraction of the price/80% off. I need $$$$$$. I guess I'm going to set up a site with Ape to gather funds.

Love, JieLin!
FOR YOU, KAY :D

Woke up late. After a quick bite went off to Ape's place. Started studying/doing homework the moment I reached.

3pm - 8pm. Lots of eating, some chatting (we even talk about wanting to talk to one another. How crappy can our conversations get?)

Trying to clear the work (which I didn't manage to).

A bit weird too to see JieLin doing her homework and working so hard.
We're like determined to be eligible for UK trip.

We even started thinking about what to wear and talking about hotel stays! How crazy can we get?

Let's hope the passion don't die!

A little overview of my weekday:
Mon and Tues - go home after school
Wed - If nothing on, we shall do something.
Thurs - Exercise!
Fri - CCA day? :(
Sat - Relax etc. For me it would be tuition.
Sun - Study.

Hopefully it'd work. Sounds feasible. Right.

Am going for my appointment on tues. or so I've to arrange tmr.

Back to the things that happened today.

Sw was whining so badly (she's a hungry kid) and even teared cause we refused to move off for dinner.

Didn't join them cause I feel ... dirty hahaha. Whatevs. :D

Met WZ on the way to Sunplaza. Can't really recognise her! Lol! poor eyesight.

Didn't touch my work ever since I reached home.
I'm going to slack a little bit more before heading to bed.

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.

I'm running low of supplies. Need to get a couple of stuff, soon.

Random things I didn't mention:

1. Lucky I didn't gain a lot of weight during holidays. 1.6kg. Is it a lot? My weight dropped quite a bit before hols. Guess to nearly 40kg? Can't really remember. (I know i don't look like it) stress and stuff really make people lose weight.

2. We were sucking helium and talking. Voices were mad funny.

3. Wishes for a good picture to Photoshop. Must practice! Am changing to IT dept if possible. Pictures are either too pixelated or too ugly to start with. I will lose the skills one day.

4. Wanted dress up one day. But no events to do so. I wore tee+shorts+slippers+specs+thin line and lashes to town. Guess that why when people get older they don't bother to dress up anymore. "

old already. :/

5. So pro cam + photographer, give me a good picture!:):):)

Hohooo I'm finally done with all the pictures. So here's the post on 15Jan's outing (which is yesterday)

Went to tuition first before heading to Yishun station to meet the girls. I even chased after the bus to prevent myself from being late. Ite I think I am still early even if I miss 2 buses or so. Lol.

So the moment we met, we rushed to Orchard.

Was interviewed otw to taka/scape. Guess the poly peeps must have mistook us as sec 4 or what. Guess they're probably trying to grab more people into their course.

Got a badge as well. Oh not to forget helium balloons from Jiaqi and JiaYi (the twins that blog). Ape's one immediately lou feng. Seriously dai sai. hahaha :D

Head to scape and got Mac. Check in at approximately 2:30 and they said we can only sing till 5. So we paid $6 for 2.5hours. -_____-

So if you're going kbox and you made a reservation, please be punctual. Like mad punctual.
Is it like this? They should start the time when we step in right?! Make more sense too.

Furthermore the person on the line is super rude when yq was making a reservation. Sometimes they don't bother to knock. Sometimes the music goes haywire.

Sang hahahaa I can't believe those human beings can actually tolerate my horrible singing. Lol.

I'm actually pretty fair hahaha *points at my feet*

If only... hhahaha!

I don't know, but this was what happened to us that day.
One good thing probably the attitude of the manager. Hmm.

The usual thing we do every outing hahaha!

Went to scape secluded corner for our soggy fries and burgers.

Unglam.

Sw's urine!

Rain had stopped by then so we made our way to Daiso. Got files and gloves. Bento holder soon!

Shopped around and decided to head to FEP for food and some stuff. Got a couple of stuff with the girls :D
