Age - from Surplus to Deficit!

Just in case you are confuse or unaware what surplus and deficit means (it's accounting terms *pushes thick framed glasses like a boring accountant*), scroll all the way down.
In short, surplus is when there is extra. Deficit, on the other hand, means shortage. Not good in the eye of the finance people, but good in the eye of vanity-heals's blogger! 

Yes that's me. 

I remembered how I always look 2 years (otherwise, more) older than my usual age. I get into clubs when I was 14 (legally, 16), get into adult clubs when and watched rated R movies when I was 18 (legally, 21). I hardly get my IC checked when I buy alcohol or ciggies. 

Or perhaps I was so calm it didn't disclose the fact I was a juvenile.

***Not a good example I've led. Minors should not attempt the above things I've done. Not fun anyway.***

Point is, I used to look much older till I was about.. 23? That was when I start getting age deficit, so to say, people are starting to claim I look younger. First they correctly guessed my age. But as I grow older, they start to get it wrong. Averagely, I get compliments that I look at least 2 years younger. 

The importance of skincare - I cannot stress enough how important is that.

Well I guess there are a few things that could make you look youthful:

1) Skincare, skincare, skincare!!!

2) Your behaviour. Maintain a light heart and a jovial personality. Smile even when you don't feel like it, for it takes more muscle to frown. And worse, it leaves you wrinkle!

3) Dressing. Need I elaborate more? You dress old, you look old lah! 

4) Makeup. The heavier is your makeup, the older you'll look.

5) Weight. This one damn sad. But yes, having excessive weight makes one look old. Of course, being severely underweight to the extend that makes one look like a dried prune - is even worse. 

What I'm saying is, always find out your BMI and try to have your weight scaled towards the lighter side. (Gentle reminder, pls lose weight healthily ok!) 

For me, I'm on the heavier side for sure. In fact I'm close to overweight already. So I'm trying to shed some pounds (FOREVER). Good enough, I've lost close to 4kgs since my new job.

People had been telling me I'm complacent because I'm still young. I beg to differ. It's exactly because I keep reminding myself that I'm not young, that pushes me to work towards status quo. The amount of time spent on taking care of my skin is twice as long as I take my bath. Everyday. Insane.

I'm 28 this year. 29 in the Chinese calculation and no, I'm not young. I'm not afraid of saying it. In fact, I'm proud to disclose my age because I'm aging gracefully. 

Accept the fact. Face yourself. Aging can be a beautiful thing if it grows with your soul. 

xoxo!

Go orangey in 2012

So I read on the papers, trend color for 2012 is gonna be Orange. Tangerine. Orange. 

Then, the mum casually remarked Orange, Yellow and Beige - are gonna be the lucky colors.

Beige? Fine. Yellow? Not so much of my color but I own a yellow tank top and I lurve the contrast on me.

But Orange??!??! 

Omgfmlp.

Not that I'm superstitious to stick with the so-called "lucky colors of the year", it's the trend I'm worried about. AND, not because of the trend that I'm gonna follow, I'm worried because...

EVERYMUTHAFU*KG piece of apparel with absolutely stunning design that caught my eye, would come in none other but orange color.

Life in 2012's gonna suck much.

Ok that's abit exaggerated. I kinda felt better knowing that the said color come in this tone:

Chanced upon this while shopping
for my new year clothes.
Very much like red, yet not entirely. Thought of grabbing some CNY clothes and eyed this. Occurs to me that the color's called "Burnt orange". (And it's on its way to my home!)

Digress: wtf why Beatrice Tan so chio ah?!?! Zellousssssss only.

Nice. Not forgetting peach is also in the orange color family. ^______________^

Concidentally, I changed my bedsheet over the w'kends and found out much later that, "hey, my bedsheet's orange.. -_-"
Nail color in.. nude red? 
Perhaps some pictures on the makeup for above dress sometime later? Contemplating if I should do it in earth or nude tones. We'll see.

Abrupt end.

너모 피곤해!!

Haven't been sleeping well lately, thus the shoutout. Was having moodswing yesterday. No, not the monthly-affair-moodswing. It's just-moodswing-moodswing, you roger? Mine usually last for half a day, yesterday's one lasted for some good 24 hours. Bah. Chi and Von suggested chocolate which unfortunately, I don't have any in office. Nearest store that sells tidbits? Too far.

아주 피곤해.
너모 피곤해!!

Thought the moodswing will cease today. Fine. Somehow, it did. But the weariness came. So much so I couldn't even bring myself to "wear" the mask I usually wore to smile at people. The face was as shitty than shit itself, if you saw me walking along the streets of Orchard 9:30 in the morning.

On a side note, I've cut my hair! If you've followed my blog for long enough, you'd have knew that I'm always a long hair. (Still is)

It became my goal to have my hair lengthed 100cm before I chop it off. Or, not any time earlier than Meanie's big day. That's like, March next year. But it's no surprise, I've been ranting about cutting my hair short (shorter?) since early this year. The last time I measured how long was my hair, was 3 months back? Tape showed +/- 70cm..

That length was like, easily around my hip.<

And I cut it till....


This short? It's sitting somewhere slightly below the shoulder now. Much as I would LURRRVE to chop it way shorter, I heard devils (or angels?) telling me "Don't! Don't do it!! Short hair doesn't suits you!!"

Damn you.

Ok I confess, those damn devils are the honest feedbacks I got from friends. And I jolly well know my effing round face doesn't compliment short hair. Or the other way round. Whatever.

1 year of ranting to cut my hair short, it didn't work. Instead, it took me no longer than 30 seconds to tell my stylist, "Ok, let's do it."


Me: Feel like cutting my hair. Should I?
Stylist: CUT IT!!!
Me: Don't say cut just because you stylist have the fetish for cutting long hair short! (They do!)
Stylist: No. I mean it.
Me: How short do you think I should go?
Stylist: This short *gestures* Then the bottom part you can *gesture* curve in.
Me: *smiles* That's exactly what I'm thinking. Ok let's do it."

==================================

Theme fuschia x'mas makeup I tried the other day. Pity non of my cameras could do justice to the colour. Maybe it's just my skills. :(


==================================

Gonna head to Ku De Ta at Marina Bay Sands coming Friday. I'm praying I get to get some nice shots on the beautiful scenary that Ku De Ta promises. Thou I'm mentally prepared the food there ain't gonna be fabulicious based on the feedback of food critics. Orignally wanted 1-Altitude but, sigh, fully booked. Tsk.

B's doing potluck for her x'mas partayyyy~! Oh gawd I hate potlucks. How how how?

I keep having the thought "What if everyone does Pizza or KFC?!!"

Lol.



P.S. Can't wait for Jungmin's calendar to arrive! Kekekeke. Kudos to Shewen. Lalalala~ (haven't find a time to pay Chi... :p)

P.P.S. I feel old with short hair actually. What say you guys?

Park Jung Min JN fansign by Shewen0629 **Edited 29/6/2011**

**Edited to add**

Was telling Wen I don't know how many times I'll have to edit this entry.. Lol. Nvm, shall go as she spams.

"The sincere look he gave...."
(jinxed: I could have died if the one he's looking at was me)

"Clarifying if he got the name right? But just love this side of him. keke..."

"Rabbit Min. So cute!!! dedicated for @ who is having her tues blues!!"
(jinxed: FYI, if you are not sure who hiromi is, she's one of Jungmin's loyal fan from Japan. ^^)

"Like this angle but its blur....sads!!"
"How can we miss out on him pouting?"
(jinxed: Loves!!!)

It's nice to hear and know that the boys are always attentive to the fans, no? Sadly, I only hear it from this pair of sisters. I hope I can make friends with hardcore HyunSaengKyu fans to hear their sweetest sides too. ^^

P.S. It's Shewen's birthday. Have you sent her your well-wishes? :)

==========================================
Spreading some more ❤ from the pics I kiap'd via Shewen's twitpic! She appears normal to me. Soft spoken and all. But looking at her captions (yes, caption's hers, not mine) I'd think Jungmin drove her crazy.

"Looks like he's got an idea...kyaaaaa!!!"

"Got an idea to the right too. Kee ;p"

"No idea why he was so happy putting the microphone down...keke!!"

"Don't anti me. But look at him. He was so tired."


And of course, being sweet as she is, she gave me one exclusive pic of his that looked like this:
Using it as my wallie. ^^



Random happening: Whole world's talking about Hara and JunHyung.

Sailor moon makeup by Michelle Phan

This caught my attention because I was a die-heart but grew out of it Sailor Moon fan. Well I still had their cards with me now, which I believe some of it would've turned to be valuable collectibles?

Cool huh? Undeniably she's good. But the close-ups when she did her eye was kinda freaky.





So what do you think?

Kim Hyun Joong - Rebirth pictorial jacket photo out!!

Joongie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





I hope they could go easy on the makeup thou'. Albeit it looks cool and all manly(HJL looks good in anything anyway), but the fact that men wearing too heavy makeup gives me the creeps. Have no idea what's with the (korean) trend of man wearing eyeliner and the smokey eyes. Twilight saga has settled down a little already, ain't it?



Official album releasing on the 22nd Oct. I've made up my mind not to get it.



Because it's a mini-album, not a full one.


I read somewhere, don't remember where was it. Someone commented Kim Kyu Jong on the far right looked like Son Dam Bi. I lmao.

Alright! The part 2 of the workshop. Amma going to do a chop chop one k?

Prior to that, the ladies were told that the dresscode will be smart-casual and there will be assessment for each and everyone of them, the judges will decide on 1 best performance candidate.

Winner will be rewarded!

Workshop

Seriously overdue pictures from our workshop conducted.. on early August? I later realised that we had an overwhelming amount of photos taken. Credits to Annie and Reona.

Having 2 mad women snapping pictures and at least another 3 pairs of eyes looking at you while you are doing the makeup appeared quite frivolous. (I imagined writing a board with the letters "PLS DO NOT FEED HER" and that there were tourist and people trying desperately to throw bananas at me) Thou I don't appear so because I'm running late. No time to care so much.

Makeups

Fooling around with my eyeshadows again. Many lovelies of mine complain that they can never master the skill for smoky eyes. On the contrary, I find it very very easy to do one. Frankly I become so used to smoky eyes I perpetually did one for all my models be it day or night events.

And that is not good. Smoky eyes might look tad too drama-mama for a day occasion. I HAVE TO hold back my temptation of putting such heavy eye colors for day.


Middle of eyelid: Silver + pearl eyedust
Inner and outer corner of eyelid: Shimmery brown plus dark brown
Eyelid fold (or whatever you call it): Charcoal brown
Eyeliner: Gel, brown
Under eye, outer corner: Charcoal brown
Under eye, inner coner: Pearl eyedust





Tsk. See? NO color. Despite it was rather heavy already. Another reason why I liked applying such heavy colors is because it simply gets "eaten up" when the camera flash is on and the pictures usually turn out colorless otherwise, very subtle.





Still no color. #$%ctb&*%wtf;//!?

(Note: I was playing with eye colors and blushers. No foundation applied.)











'neeways, the hungry ghost festival is coming. So be careful my dear. Don't anger the "good buddies".































Else sister Sadako (with very chio falsies) might visit you in the midst of your sleep to say hi!!!

Photobucket
Scare ya, didn't I? :P

Look at the blurry camera and its lens. Does it reminds you of a well? That's where Sadako lives! In a well!




K lah, a chio one to calm you down. Albeit it looked kinda frivolous just with one side of the eye and half of the face done. I think the result looked mamasan-ish. No? Cover the left side and look at the right, I prolly seem like I'm in my late 30's.. Maybe even 40's. I proclaim hor, I is 24, not 42.

Photobucket

It's photoshopped lah hello. I not so chio. Liiiiittle beeet chio maybe. (photoshop pictures to chioster also must have some basic natural default born with chio features one k! Else no matter how you edit also bo yong) Didn't touch the eyes thou'.

(P.S. I cannot say I'm ugly. Wait my parents very sad. Neither of you should think you are ugly too. Else wait your parents also very sad.)





Nah nah nah. All these not photoshopped one. Au naturale one ok!
