ups and downs *

4 more days to 2008!
i guess it's time for me to have a proper update, do some reflections, and come up with new year resolutions.

during this 2-weeks-term-break , i didn't really go out.
must be thinking how i spent the short term break and festive season right?

basically i spent most of the time resting at home, if not, projects.
i definitely spent more time with my laptop than with friends.
to all my friends, i'm really very sorry!

christmas morning went to Expo to attend City Harvest's service. kinda regretted.
shall not mention about it, really zzz.
to think i only know that i'm attending the service when i reached Expo that morning. tsk tsk!

anyway, had received some xmas gifts. thanks alot!
i like all, especially the most EXPENSIVE one. best xmas gift i ever received.
thank you so much!

and thanks in advance to some who told me they bought something for me, but i've yet to receive them.

new year resolutions.. i guess more or less the same.
top on my list will be: TAKE LESSER CABS!
need to kick this bad habit.

well, i still remembered my last year (31st December) entry.
i only hope for peace and a better year. as 2006 was a lousy and happening year.

however, never would i expect 2007 was even more happening, in fact, the lousiest year in my 19 years of life.
it's like a turning point. drastic changes..

in March, the 14th day of CNY, i went to visit my mom in SGH, was so happy when she told me she can be discharged the next day. and thus, can lao yu sheng with us.
however, that very sunday morning, i received a call from the hospital, telling me my mom's condition was very critical, in ICU, and asked us to go to the hospital asap.
not long after we reached, the doctor announced her brain dead.

well, hoping for a miracle, we dragged for 2 days. and if she didn't undergo dialysis treatment for a few days, papa was afraid that her body will become bloated, thus a cruel decision was made. he decided to let her go beautifully.

i didn't say anything at all. it's indeed a cruel decision, i know my mom is kinda vain, and i understand she was suffering, maybe it's better to let her go. but if that morning we didn't remove those equipments, perhaps she will wake up that very day, or even the next day.

but well, it's really late to regret now. i lost her physically. she's only 42 when she left the world. young right?

once again, i really thanks all my friends who accompanied me through those days! it's really hard and tough!
*bow* THANKS ALOT!

the next few months i had many ups and downs. i know, there were more downs than ups, however, i'm still lucky as i've this special friend and a few close friends who were there for me. and yes, they are still there for me. right?
therefore those ups can neutralize those downs.

"i'll ALWAYS be there for you!"
this sentence is quite vague actually. it can be said easily, but think about it, can you really do it?

don't say that so easily, or rather, say it when you truly mean it, or you can really do it.
if you're not confident, then don't say it. and i greatly appreciate truthfulness.

anyway, this is just my little piece of advice, not referring to anyone.

well, in this particular year too, i learnt my lesson.

"don't judge a book by its cover!"
how true. once bitten, twice shy.
damn my attachment company!

once again, thanks for lending me your listening ears. hurt alot right?

lastly, my "new family". papa has remarried. i've a stepmother. zzz.
i really don't know how to face her, and this house.
however, i love to stay inside my small cosy room.

i did mention earlier, it's a 50-50 thingy. i'm really lost, don't know what to do.
if he treats her well, i find that it's super unfair to my mom. but if he doesn't, i pity her.

IF ONLY, if only my mom can return to my side, cause i really need her.

no need ask me not to think too much, cause it's hard not to think.
it's like a wound, the pain will subsidize, but at the same time a scar will form.
time can only lighten it, but can't remove it.

over the months, i know i've changed alot.
some better, some bad-der.
will "see how" again, haven't sort out my thoughts.

i can say, i'm really lousy in handling things.
be it family, friends or even the someone special.
very often, i'll hurt them with harsh words, or show them a fucking attitude.
and after awhile, i'll regret.
then i'll apologise. and the same/similar thing may happen again.

i really don't know what got into me.
but well, i'll try my best to change.
give me some time.

alright, shall end here, don't think i'll update till next year.
thus i wanna wish all of you a Happy New Year!
enjoy counting down to 2008~

date confirmed.
hope i can end my 2007 nicely.

and no worries, i'm fine.
actually i typed this entry last night, and i've to admit, i did cry.
but currently, i'm feeling alright. =)

before i click "publish post", here's a question for you to ponder, what's the meaning of your life?
mind telling me if you know? thanks!

20 makeup tips *

saw this while tidying up my files and folders in my precious laptop.
read it 2 to 3 years ago, from either forum or CLEO.

shall share with girls who wear makeup. =)

1. If you're wearing eye makeup only, unless you have absolutely perfect skin, you should wear foundation and powder (maybe concealer). Wearing eye makeup accentuates flaws like crazy, and if you have no foundation or powder on, you generally will look unfinished, and blemishes or redness will be magnified.

2. If you have problems with redness in the cheeks, avoid pink blushes and go for neutrals. Pinks will magnify the flushed colour.

3. Green colour correctors are also great for redness, but go very light and make sure you blend until the green is not visible.

4. If you're a brunette, wear a brow colour one shade lighter than your hair. If you're a blonde, wear a brow color one shade darker. Anything too far away from this is going to look unnatural.

5. When wearing very frosty shadows on the lower lid and crease (especially pigments), wear a matte color on the browbone. otherwise there is too much shine. This will also accent the pretty frost colours and give your eyes more of a deep set look. If you wear a frost on the browbone, apply it very lightly and dust off the excess. Shimmers are better for this than frosts or glitters.

6. When applying loose pigments, be sure to hold a tissue under the eye you're working on, and also pat the color onto the lid. Do not sweep, otherwise you will get pigment all over your face. Trying to remove pigment under the eye with a sponge or tissue, or just blend it into your makeup, will cause you to look as if you have dark circles, maybe even shiny dark circles.

7. If you accidentally get glitter on your face, use a little masking tape to remove it. It should leave your makeup unscathed.

8. Blend your makeup, good brushes is the key. Harsh edges with shadows and blush work well for edgy runway looks or for darker club-wear looks, but don't look so great for the day time. Good brushes will take any drugstore makeup and make it look professional.

9. When highlighting cheeks with something frosty, work from the pupil of the eye outward to the hairline. Anything close to the t-zone is going to accentuate large pores and make your face look oily.

10. Dark glosses usually need lipliner, otherwise it lacks definition.

11. Pale glosses looks great on most people, even without liner. But colours that are too white will make you look washed out.

12. When using the 263 or 266 brush (M.A.C's brushes) with shadow for lining, press the brush into the lashline and wiggle it. Then start the next part of the line just overlapping the one you just did. If you try to draw all the way across, you may get fallout shadow on your face again, which is a disaster with dark colors.

13. Shape brows by plucking or waxing. The best makeup job in the world will look sloppy if your brows are unkempt.

14. Lip liner should be very close to the shade of lipstick or lipgloss you're wearing. Dark liner and pale gloss or lipstick look a little dated and very unnatural.

15. It is important to get mascara on the tops of your lashes, especially if they are noticeably covered in eyeshadow. To get the whole lash covered, as you are sweeping the brush up from the underside, gently move it from side to side.

16. It is also very important to brush out clumpy lashes, nobody loves the spider legs look.

17. Take days off from wearing makeup! Your face needs a break.

18. There is no better beauty treatment than drinking tons and tons of water.

19. Wash your brushes often or your colours will start to look really muddy and go on uneven.

20. Rules are made to be broken! Sometimes breaking the rules can be beautiful. Remember, makeup is fun and you can always wash it off, so don't be afraid to experiment!
