Weekends Are Here!


I'm so delighted that my contract with Loreal has been extended,
even though I wont be dealing with their cosmetics anymore. That's me in my uniform. Say hello to Loreal's new collagen filler.



It's designed to be the first wrinkle reducer with collagen bio-spheres and boswelox that is applied onto wrinkles to diffuse and fill in the depth and length of facial lines and wrinkles.



Me and the girls went for the collagen filler training on Tuesday and here are some of the pics.


Me, Pei and Stella went to watch the Singapore Idol Wildcard yesterday and here's us holding a sexy beast card. Haha!


Yep, that's all for now. I'm too tired to rack my brains for more stuff to write. Remember to watch the World Cup matches now! Must watch! Here's to a good weekend!

Hips Dont Lie

Its the World Cup fever and I'm so freaking into it. I wonder which two teams will be playing the final match but if I'll have to make an intelligent guess, I'll say Germany and Brazil.

If you have a moment, check out this video. It's a video of different people doing the Shakira dance of Hips Dont Lie. Watch out for the guys. They're much funnier! Look out for this guy topless wearing a green long skirt and this other guy wearing a cowboy hat in a red shirt I think. They're hilarious!



Check out the orginal video here by the ever so sexy Shakira, which by the way, can really shake that body!


Another video of her perfoming Hips Dont Lie live with Wyclef. I feel that the live version is actually sexier than the original video. Man, is she fit!



I'll end here people. Have a great week!

What Are Godparents For

I attended my uncle's mother's wake today. This uncle is by the way, also my godfather. A funny sight occurred sometime around 10.20pm. Everyone was minding their own business when a huge group of guys poured into the place. My mom later found out that my uncle's brother, who by the way was adopted by my uncle's mom, used to be a gangster back in those days. Hence when any family member of the gang passes away, the whole gang is expected to turn up to pay their respects. It was pretty hilarious when the whole group started shouting something about brotherhood and I thinked I saw some pumped their fists into the air.

My godmother, my uncle's wife, cracked me up too. She was with the kids upstairs when the gang arrived. When she reappeared later, we told her what happened. She thought it was some soccer fans watching the World Cup and that they were cheering for the goals.

I would also like to take a moment here to remember my uncle's mother. I wasnt very close to her, but I will remember her as a great lady who gave me the best godfather a god-daughter could ask for. My godparents got me my first phone and pay for my phone bills every month. Every birthday, I would be showered with expensive gifts from them. My godfather was there for me when I needed a guarantor for my university loans and the many other times, he never failed to be there for me when I needed help. They were the ones I turned to when I ran away from home when I was young. After all, isnt that what godparents are for? To be there to shower us with gifts, to give us a home when we have a fight with our parents, to give us advice about things that we would never talked to our parents about.

I am indeed blessed with the greatest godparents in the world! :)

Late Night

It's a quiet night and I'm still up. I'm listening to coldplay's speed of sound and it's a beautiful song. Chris Martin's voice is so soothing, and I allow myself to be immersed in the song. I could almost feel all my worries melting away. I'm finally learning to let go of the various emotions welled up inside me. Well, it takes more time to finally move on completely but I guess I'm doing a great job.

The match between Brazil and Australia was exciting! I could feel tables shaking and cheers all around me as the people soaked up the World Cup fever. And I absolutely adore Roberto Carlos. Haha.

I'll end here for now. It's getting late anyway.

Sucky Life

He is the hunter, I am the hunted. He carefully inspects every vulnerability in me before making his move. I am left with nothing except mixed feelings of jealousy, anger and hurt. These days, all that remain of me is a vicious creature trapped in a body wanting to get out. On bad days, I leave a path of destruction everywhere I go. Stand in my way and be damned, son of a bitch. Words can only cut, actions can kill. Spiteful words aint enough, I can only be satisfied by retribution. Welcome to my life. Can my life get any suckier?

I called my girls this late afternoon. Last minute plans were made as we made plans to exercise and watch the World Cup at night. We even put a little bet so as to "appreciate" the match even more. This is by the way, the first time in months that I have exercised. I welcomed it with open arms! In the picture, I have no make-up on so I looked pale, kinda like a ghost. I'm trying to look like I'm hard at work but turned out looking like a pig. Py looks like a kid trying on that funky machine.



We chilled out at the nearby pub after a quick sauna session and exercise. Damn, we lost the match though. Spain played really well! Robin dropped by for a while to see Stella (how sweet!) and sent us back home (even sweeter!).

I have work tomorrow so I'm kinda looking forward to it after a long rest. Come on ladies, buy more Loreal cosmetics from me, you know you're worth it =) Tata!

Life In A Nutshell

I have always been the tough fighter since I was young. Money doesnt come easily, good grades dont just happen without the hard work. I remembered times were so bad that I had to survive on a measly amount that I was mostly hungry. I couldnt afford to splurge on the things that every girl should have. But I made it. Well, that was before.

Ever since I got my first real job when I graduated from college, my life took a turn. I had enough money to eat whatever I fancy. I had enough to splurge on clothes and beauty essentials. I even had extra to save up. I also fell in love. That too, changed my life drastically. It was a relationship that had its romantic moments, but it wasnt the kind of relationship every girl wants to be in.

He broke my heart. He told me he loved me, but did things that would make anyone think other wise. The jobs I took up during my vacations gave me enough to lead the life I wanted. Well, at least financially. I would depend on no one for money. I took not a single cent from my parents. I was tough. I know that some girls would stick with a guy not for the love, but for the financial support they could provide. I also know of girls who wouldnt be able to lead the life they want had it not been the help of their boyfriends. I was not one of them. I was on my own a 100 fucking percent.

He was a shadow of my past. I still couldnt break away from his presence totally, but at least I am able to stand on my own. To break away from someone you truly love and care about, all it takes is time. And love from your friends. The only one good thing he gave me was to make me so much stronger.

I have always been a fighter. And I still am. If you think by doing what you are doing now to me can break me, think again.

A Blast From The Past

Hi everyone, I have a shitload of pictures to post!

We didnt sleep till the next day. We spent the whole night playing mahjong, some funny game and monopoly, which by the way, I'm queen! I had a meeting with the Loreal people in the morning, after which I had to work. I was so damn sleepy I actually took a nap in the bathroom. Yikes gross I know.

I'll end here. I'll try to get more pics to post if I can. Happy weekends!

It's Now Or Never

Hello freaks, how's life treating you? I know I haven't updated my blog in a long time, and you might think it's beyond hope, but I'm gonna try anyway.

Life has been pretty a-ok. Except for the fact that I did badly for my exams. But never mind. Better luck next semester. Saw Daniel Ong at Junction 8 recently. He was on stage introducing the female Singapore idols. I just took a few snaps with my phone which explains the grainy pictures.



My new job is pretty fantastic. Everyday I dish out beauty advice and recommendations to ladies who are interested in Loreal products. At the same time, I have to advertise their new Volume Shocking mascara, which by the way received good reviews by those customers who tried it on the spot. The TV commercial for the mascara will be launched soon, so look out for it! It gives me a sense of satisfaction when customers are pleased with the recommendations I made and purchased the product. Aaaaahhhh, and the commission. Not to mention the perks of receiving free cosmetics.

Kudos to the ladies who eagerly tried the products I recommended, those who shared with me their make-up horror experiences they encountered and those who were pleased with my service. You guys made my day.
