Boring Saturday!

just a short update.

oh, i havent touch my books yet. every time i pick up the notes, i feel sleepy, so each time i will tell myself, i'll study when i am awake. obviously not.

anyway, really looking forward to this movie, Monga!
starring MARK CHAO (!!), ethan ruan, chen han dian, etc etc.

credits to Comixed!

abrupt ending because i decided to help daddy paint the house, purely out of boredom!
ciaos!

No CNY for me this year!

i wanted to type a reflective & self-motivating post but after typing 3 sentences, i am struggling already. so i deleted everything and decided to drop that.
anyway, my finals are nearing & it will be my last exam of my education life. whether i like it or not, i will work a bit harder for this one, so that i will not retain & result in being unable to go taiwan! right now, everyday, i have been thinking about taiwan every day & night.

so here's my exam timetable:

so cramped! i think i will most probably die on 24th feb, where i get super stressed.
alright, so here's the highlight of this post, I WILL START STUDYING (bit by bit) TODAY!

hopefully this commitment will bring me through this, i am even prepared to not celebrate CNY this year, well maybe just join cbks for the first two days, then i'll get back to my books. life is so sad... and then, i'll be entering the workforce! feel so grown up, so sudden. my plan is to work part time until april, go taiwan for a month, & work full time when i am back. hence, i say if i miss this chance to go taiwan, i'll never be able to do it again, which company will let you apply a month's leave?

err, your dad's maybe. but my dad doesnt own any company, so...
anyway, any lobangs for part time job? i need a really good pay, and i will only be working for a month, full or part time also okay! (to earn my expenses for my trip!)


i am gonna, ... go garena, play a match & then study! XD

Nailed it, French Manicure!

my love for pretty nails started with french manicure. i loved it because it looked really elegant, neat & clean. hence, here's a tutorial on basic french manicure, also my first online tutorial, spread the love!

step 1: after preparing your nails, (trimming and filing and such), apply the base coat.

step 2: after the base coat, apply a thin layer of color coat.

step 3: after the first layer of color coat is dry, apply a second layer of color coat.

step 4: wait for it to be completely dry, before using the striping tape. more commonly used is the french manicure guides, which i find them quite expensive, hence i am using striping tape, (much much cheaper!), of course, if you have steady hands, skip this step.

step 5: paint the white tips!

step 6: wait for the white tips to be completely dry before peeling off the striping tape/guide. be patient!

step 7: seal and protect your pretty nails with top coat!

for me, when i do it freehand, i would usually use glitter to conceal the ultra-duper-crooked line.

tip!
the secret to keeping the designs and preventing chip-offs is to reapply the top coat every 2 to 3 days.
which is also the reason why i cant afford to use expensive top coats, i use an average of 1 bottle of top coat every 6 to 8 weeks.

anyway, here's my nail for the past week.
the rhinestones stuck so well that it lasted me for more than 10 days, (eventually i faced difficulties removing them =.='')

stay tuned for more nail tutorials!

Best place for pimples to grow?

realized i havent been blogging about my personal life for quite some time. not sure if anyone's interested, but i feel like blogging about about myself today.

have been so busy lately, with projects and presentations, but they are all over!
so all that i am left with is my final exam which starts on 20th feb.
i know i say that i am so busy all the time, but this time round is really really busy, and to prove it,
1. i usually do my nails every week or at most eight days, but this time round it stayed for about 10 days or more.
2. i've been rejecting my mom's attempt to make me go facial with her, a few times.
3. i've not been tweeting that frequently because i am not online.

so i am really busy. whatever.

currently doing a nail art tutorial, will be publishing it tomorrow!
it's so troublesome lah, especially with the camera. now i know it is really tedious to do such stuffs, but im sure it's worth it when somebody reads and benefit from it. i wanted to do a video, but i have very bad lighting and the camera's so lousy lah, like capture only 10% of my voice, so damn soft! and worst of all, i suck at editing videos because that software always makes me go crazy, pulling my hair literally.

nothing's been going on in my life, except on monday, there's this wine-tasting at one marina boulevard.
didnt whip out my camera because i crashed into another class's session instead of my own class, and nobody's camwhoring.

other than that, my life's been really dull with projects.
oh! i've been a little more vain nowadays, sometimes i put on mascara and eyeliner for school.
but nothing more than that because i am so damn lazy. anyway i am really bad with makeup so i tend to make myself look worst with makeup on.

i have decided to not buy CNY clothes since my family's not really celebrating and i'll be busy mugging for my exams. also, the money i set aside was only enough for my taiwan trip, but now i am contemplating to get iphone/blackberry. also not going to bangkok and korea with cousins already, no time and out of budget, because i've decided to stay in taiwan for 30 days instead of 8 days. HAHAHA, awesome or what?

i know it is impossible to not buy any clothes, so i am limiting myself to only 3 sets of new clothes, hope i'll go by it, otherwise, ...

oh ya, i just remembered the joke i posted some time ago, i said i'll post the answer.
but sadly, no one's interested in that joke lehhhh :( no one replied.

nevertheless, i am still gonna type it here.

Q: Where's the best place for pimples to grow?


A: ON OTHER PEOPLE'S FACE!

funny or not? i think it's really evil and quite a good joke anyway.
because when asked, i answered "buttock?"

so anyways, do look out for my post tomorrow!
hasta la vista!

Movie review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Sherlock Holmes
Duration: about 130 minutes.

Synopsis: After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

My views: awesome awesome awesome! i was so excited about this movie and persuaded my boyf everyday to watch it with me (he didnt wanna watch it as he as has no idea who sherlock holmes is =.=) i used to read lots of sherlock holmes novels, and nancy drew =.='' i love this movie, it's great! i especially love the humor they used. boyf thinks that the brains and intelligence of holmes is way too exaggerating, but if you ask me, that's just so holmes! overall, this movie is just GREAT to the max! and honestly, i cant find anything i dislike about this masterpiece, hmm, maybe if the wait for the next sherlock holmes movie is too long, then i'll deduct marks? but for now ...

Ratings: 5 out of 5! really really really awesome!

*****

i understand that this review would be a little too slow/outdated. but so long as there is still a reader, even just one, i would still do the review! weijie did say that he wanna know my ratings for this movie just before i went out for it, so here you go! hope that helps! faster go watch it okay!

on the other hand, i have been really really really occupied with school work.
i currently have a few drafts (usually i use drafts to note down my ideas) yet to post. hope i'll be able to finish them soon and publish! 

anyways, i need a new blog header! anybody wanna volunteer to design for me? no monetary compensation though, lol! not sure what i'll be able to do for you other than a thank-you post dedicated to you. :D

okay, gotta get back to my projects! will be much much much free-er after this friday.
& i've got a wine-tasting session next tuesday!

hasta la vista!
will be back real soon, i promise!

My blog's unique visitors was about 5 times more than usual!

for the past two days, my blog's unique visitors was about 5 times more than usual.
it rocketed to over 250 unique visitors, and i would attribute it to the molestation blog post (which is my previous post).

from the stats, there were searches for the video, the story itself, etc etc.
i am so sorry if i disappointed you because i did not post any videos or photos, i dont know what's holding me back on that, but i just refuse to post any videos or photos of it.

i really think it is my conscience that's forbidding me to do a follow-up blogpost and the photos & video.
i really wanted to pen down my views on it, (not like it has an impact or anything, but still!), but a part of me felt that by doing that, it already made me a "keyboard warrior", hiding behind the computer to criticize (quoted xuesha's words). it's really contradicting, because a part of me tells me not to, but i still go ahead, and will continue to do so, maybe not so frequent luh!

anyway, those were just my humble opinions, so do not take it personally.:D

oh yeah, my nail art items arrived some time ago, finally have time to use them!
think i am gonna start a nail-art tutorial on my blog soon, so stay tuned!

 

has anybody seen this in any store in singapore?

please tell me if you do, preferably with the price too!

that's all for today, happy weekend ahead!

it's time for my nails!

hasta la vista baby!

Did she deserve to be molested openly by 4 guys?

i believe everyone's heard/read about the girl who was openly molested by 4 guys at the siloso beach's countdown party. read the comments about how she deserved it, and others argued that she doesnt.
(for the STOMP article, click here)

seriously, what's with the "deserving" part?
i) is it about how she deserved to be molested?
ii) or is it about it being filmed and publicized?
iii) or what?!

well in my opinion, of course, no girls should be treated or humiliated this way (getting molested at crowded parties, NO MATTER HOW SHE IS DRESSED).

however, from the video clip and snapshots,
- she looked like a willing party to me, (she did not show any displeasure)
- she didnt look like she was struggling,
- in the video clip, she was actually smiling!
- it seemed as though she's enjoying the attention when everybody was filming. 
- and did i see her pulling her bra cup down to reveal her nipples? (i am not very sure about this as the video is blurry, i may have mistaken it!)

& the question is: why didnt anybody helped her, right?
i strongly believe that if she shouted: MOLEST! or HELP!, people would have helped her out of the situation.
many also argued that instead of recording it, they should have asked her if she needs any help. well, i thought that recording it down might be a little too much (dont want to help also dont have to film it down right!), maybe they should have approached her, but c'mon, if you desperately need help, you would have shouted right? if you are being raped, you would be screaming away instead of waiting for people to come forward to ask if you need help right, (but then again, normally rape cases are in somewhat secluded places) but you get my point, dont you?

& yeah, she's wasted already, how to cry for help, right?
well, as we all can see, she is still standing, and dancing, it proves she's not dead drunk or something.
if she really wants to protect herself, even in subconsciousness, she would have struggled or shouted.

what i am thinking deep down is, whether conscious or under the influence of alcohol, if a girl's breast has been groped, no matter what she would have at least struggled or at least push it away. unless she is "already used to breasts being groped" or something like that. i cant seem to pen down my thoughts accurately, but what i am trying to say is, girls who love and respect themselves would never allow such things to happen, no matter conscious or in subconsciousness (or even asleep), it is like a natural reaction to push the hands away when people touch your breasts. girls out there, am i right?

on a side note, it is embarrassing isnt it (to all the other gentlemen out there), to take advantage of a woman because she is drunk. no matter what is it, those molesters have committed indecent acts, in one way or another. (one of the comments from STOMP) if this girl is a victim, it's a outrage of modesty. or if she's a willing party, it's indecent act in the public.

i do sympathize the girl's parents/people who love her. if this girl is really a victim, do make a police report and have those guys arrested (since their pictures are everywhere).

to girls out there, do take care of yourselves. afterall alcohol is not good for health :D
if you think such things will not happen to you ...

some time ago, my girl friend went drinking with some of her guy friends. she was dead drunk and raped by one of the guys who was supposed to send her home but instead, brought her to his place. it was a not-so-close friend who had a crush on her. and she lost her virginity just like that. true story.

sad but true, she had to learn this the hard way. & i guess she'll probably see this but dont worry girl, i'll never divulge your name, & i do love you!

just my two cents worth! (about the molest-thingy)
hasta la vista!
