eyebrows!

I went for eyebrow embroidery (xiu mei) 2 days ago... It was a really terrifying experience!

First, I went there cause 'xin xue lai cao'... my cousin was telling me about it and my heart itchy so she recommended me a place and brought me there. So my parents and my cousin went to amk hub there together.

The girl started to pluck off my eyebrows and after she was done, I thought that the shape was not bad! But it wasn't finished yet, because i came here to do the embriodery, not just plucking. And so the girl drew eyebrows for me to see if i like it or not. But the process was long and tedious, and tiring.

too thick on one side.

unbalanced. one up one down... etc.

she drew and redrew for so many times, and then she kept plucking my brows to make it balance. In the end, when she erased off everything, i almost had no brows anymore. I was so terrified and so worried that she cannot get the right shape and balanced brows and my mum was nagging non-stop... Felt terrible and upset, have to pay so much ($250) and yet not being able to enjoy the process. Worse still, walk out eyebrowless.

after what seemed like 10 years, another girl finally got it right. And then she started the real process of embroidery. It was painful. Quite... but I think I got quite a high threshold of pain (since i can deal with removing 4 teeth at one go when i wanted to wear braces last time).

Didn't feel confident that my brows look nice at all after that. Cos I think it looks really TATOOed. And super dark. And my bro laughed at me non stop... yanjun found it weird too. But now then i realised what eyebrow embroidery is: the dark disgusting brows on the skin are starting to shed, and the remaining brows looks not too bad after all! stupid me.. didnt even know they will shed off, thought it will look so damn dark for a long time. Ha... give comments when u see me! --end of story :P

Me with short hair and my naughty but adorable tuition girl whom i really love.

*before the 'eyebrow operation'*

She didnt do well this time round for her exams. scared that im not a good teacher, i hope i am. if she can do well by the end of the yr, then i really know what i wanna be in 1 year's time.. need some assurance that i can teach.

Beautiful fireworks on 18th August

The night view of Marina Bay.

I was there for the FIREWORKS! Of course, the actual thing is much more colorful and exciting than these photos... The music and the fireworks "worked together" and made it really amazing. The different ways the fireworks danced in the sky and even appeared from the water was really cool. i cant describe much, its just a "i hope it never ends" thing!



this is my most favourite photo. i don't like red colour but this was really pretty.

Today! I acheived something really GREAT!!! Haha... i got a super high score (to me) for bowling today! It is such a superb acheivement, but yet I fear that it is just once... I didn't know how I managed to get these scores also. I was soooo happy that i needed to take a photo of it since it doesnt happen often. (but i really hope it does in future.. heheheh) No open frames, and I would have nearly strike all for a 9pin tap competition!

Yet i still feel a bit down inside me.. a little stressed, a little of skin problem bothering me, feeling unconfident of myself for my final year project. I will be meeting my supervisor for the first time tomr, and hope that it goes well and i know what to do after that. And his opinion of me.. sigh, after all 15% of the marks consistute of my working attitude aka what he thinks of me. So stressful and so bothered. The sad thing is that I think he has no impression of me at all, even though I took his module before and contacted him during that time too. Plus, I am his mentee too... but i never talked much to him. Stressed...............

New haircut!!

Finally! I changed my hairstyle! I've been having looooong hair since Sec 3? yea.. about 7 years already, and I finally decided that it's time to change a new look. Hee.. Now my shoulder length hair only requires a little bit of shampoo and conditioner, and less than 30 seconds to comb! Haha. My damaged hair since half a yr ago has also been got rid of... Hai one thing that i regret is I never take a photo of that bunch of hair that was being chopped off--> could have posted it here. The barber tied my long hair together and cut it off at one go, and the whole bunch was on the floor. Could have used it as a broom or something hahaha. Regret that i never take it home for fun. :P

Watched a great movie -- jay chou's Secret. Nice twist and surprisingly wonderful plot. its a must-watch! really.

School's starting on monday... sobzz... doubt whether i have the energy to STUDY, after sooooo long.
