#343 - My Chio Nails

Update: Tagboard's back up after so long! Do tag but no spams please! :)

 Painted my nails on Thursday night feeling so accomplished! :D

The end result:

Lol sorry, couldn't resist taking so many photos of them!

So nice right! :D
Don't care what you say, I am loving it!

Nails are technically done by me with my brother helping with the bows. :)

Did these nails because I remembered watching one on it last year!

Here it is:

Of course after looking at the video, you'd think mine is so-so only but hey!
I don't have the dotting tool etc equipment ok!

And Dad didn't approve of the pattern but heck him!

But got so many compliments from friends! :)

And some thought I went to do manicure and even asked my how much I paid for it. LOL.

But the sad thing is I have to remove it by today. T.T

Because I've Taekwondo grading tmrw!

When I painted my nails on Thursday, I didn't think of it! :(

Anyhow, if you noticed, my index finger is of a different colour. :)

 OPI's Tickle My France-y!!!

OMG this colour is so freaking nice just the way I love it!

But now, sad to say, all gone. :'(

May I pass (I want double leh) my Taekwondo grading tmrw.

Bye!

#342 - Mother Nature

There are times when I love Nature for what it is. 

Went chasing for a sunset that's so pretty it took my breath away~

It was still early then and so my friend and I head to Mac for dinner first.

And when we went out, it was almost time for the sun to set.

This super chio photo I was talking about where the sun was behind the tree. (Photo was zoomed)

I had to watermark it just in case!

Credits to my friend for taking it! ;)

And look at the sky, it's as though the clouds were doing some formation.

For me to capture the rest of the shots, I was practically running and snapping and being amazed at how fast the sun sets. LOL.

In no less than 5 minutes later, everything was gone. :(

And walking towards the opposite direction, another pretty sight welcomed us.

Candyfloss pink cloud!

Aww, I wanna nom them!

It's sad that such beautiful sights only happened once.

The next time you see it, it will be another different 'formation'.

Which is why I feel that I should capture down such pretty moments to admire!

Haha till then! :)

#341 - Just My 2 Cents Worth

I think not everyone is cut out for studying. I am one of them.


Before I started my long ranting, let me make things clear first. It's not because of As being over and that I think that I might not do well that I typed this entry. Actually I had been wanting to talk about this issue for very long already. Not that anyone bothers reading it, it's just that I feel better ranting all of it out. Do note that I am not writing an essay or what, I just typed out whatever that comes to my mind. Don't pinpoint my mistakes like keeping on repeating similar points and argue in a beat-around-the-bush manner whatsoever. I don't give a damn. GP is long over.


Anyway, let's get back to what I said earlier:

Not everyone is cut out for studying.

This is what I believe, in my case. I am the type who procrastinate a lot and I can't help it. It's innate or something. However sometimes I do my best to learn and work hard but the results never show. It could be part of my carelessness and whatnot and also on the part that I never like studying. I tried convincing myself that studying is fun but I think I really can't bring myself to love to study.

I guess I am not like those hardcore muggers type or those that always top the class. To them, studying could be like a hobby. To me, it's wtf you no life. This type of people, I believe, have goals in life to achieve what they want in the future. I never really look far ahead, into the future. My future is just tomorrow. -.- 

Honestly speaking, in my almost 18years of life, I never really had a burning desire or something that I really desperately want badly that would make me work hard for it just to get it. I don't even set goals because I don't even refer to them at all. In fact, I don't even remember any goals I set that the schools I studied in has forced me to do. Goals NEVER work for me. While the Adam Khoo workshop held in Secondary 4 enlightened a lot of students before the 'O' Levels and 'woke them up', I was neutral. There was never a point in time I actually 'woke up' and realise I must do something if not I would regret.

I have tried many ways, in the context of trying to do well in my studies, but I think I might have just given up hope. That brings me to conclude that I am not cut out for studying.

Why must we study? To acquire knowledge and learn more stuff. Typical answer. Yes I know it's true, without education, we might not learn about a lot of things that may help us, IN THE FUTURE.

But I think that some people just do not have the 'talent' in studying. While some are naturally gifted, bear in mind that there are still others out there who are not and are struggling with their studies. People like me. To add on, Singapore education is just...

I don't know how to express what I want to say clearly but my point is I believe that different people are born with different talents to help them in the future. Some jobs offer high pay and do not even require people with high level education. If you have the skill that they are looking for, you have a job. A lot of singers are not highly educated, yet they are still able make it all worthwhile by doing something they love (well, in most cases) and getting paid in the process. In fact, some singers or even soccer players have a few times more pay than a businessman!

I remembered my trainer, Melvin shared with us his life story during Adam Khoo workshop. How he flunked his 'O' Levels the first time getting 37 for L1R5 or something and the other time when he retook it, it was almost the same. And then, he had to apply to Shatec Institute and managed to get in. Until now, he is so successful, being under the team of Adam Khoo, teaching students the correct ways to zomg study and what's more, his pay is like so effin high. He mentioned like every minute, he can earn $10/$100 or something. That's not the main thing, my point is just that Singapore is too focused on hiring people who have the qualifications but see? My trainer can even earn as much as those people with higher qualifications even though he only has a lousy 'O' Levels certificate.

This proves my point that you do not need to have a high level education to get a job. But you need some talent instead and also a bit of LUCK. Like how Melvin was being spotted by Adam Khoo or somewhere along that line. I cannot recall the exact details. No luck, no point. Miss your chance and that's it.

I am still trying to find my talent. And I have come to the point to force myself to believe that perhaps I have none. :(

So I concluded that when I grow up, I have to, need to, diedie must be a Taitai if not I can never survive in this dog-eat-dog world. Have to open my eyes WIDE now like O.O. Kthxbye.

#340 - Nifty Word Cloud

Hehe I was curious about what words did I used the most last year on Facebook and Twitter and so I went to check!

For Facebook:

Haha see the word physics in there?

I guess I complaint a lot about it at Facebook!

For Twitter:

Haha I talked to The (Doh) Bitches most on Twitter which explains why their names are so large!

lynetteluv and xiaobuta! :)

Find out about yours HERE!

Light travels faster than sound. Is that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?

#338 -

Am starting work today!
Right now as you are reading this entry actually. (Scheduled entry)

Guess the photo tells you about my life starting right today all the way till 30th June!

Weekends are free though, ask me out!

Or perhaps weekdays too, 6pm onwards, that is. :)

Kind of nervous and excited at the same time!

Best of luck to myself I guess! :)

#337 - Miscellaneous

Today is gonna be a 'I see what photos I have taken recently and I will upload them' day!

And so..

Took up the courage to stick on the Garskin the day before!

It's now or never, I told myself.

With much help from my brother, let me present the end product!

Would be better if the sticker around the Lumix area is perfectly shaped.


But I still think it's CHIO.

Haha I thought it'd match my dress for CNY!
FLOWERS. :D

And I finally figured out how to connect the lens cap string to the camera and the lens cap already if you have noticed so in the photo above.
And to think that I even went to search on Google how to do it and got virus in both my lappy and computer.
Sobz I am so dumb. :(

***

Was saying how budget JJC is with a super small Open House banner outside the school whereas RVHS has a super HUGE one outside the school.
Now I take back my words.

Why?
Look at what I saw the other day when I passed by JJC!
(Had to zoom in all the way as I was in the bus)

 Huge JJC balloon!
I bet no other JCs have this!
COOLZXZXZ. B)

My love for Patrick continues burning!

 Dk why my eyes always become so effin small when I smile. ._.

Don't tell me I have small eyes ok.
I got proof my eyes not small.

When I was testing out fake lashes for Prom.

Haha retard.

And while browsing through, I saw something I just have to show here.
I have the coolest hairstyle ever!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
SO COOL IKR!
Slept with clip in hair and then became like that!

Let's move on shall we? :)

 My brother did this, I think it's cute. :)

 Presents from cousins!
Love the self-made card because of Patrick love!

And I got myself plastic covers to protect my UNO cards!
Recommended by Yunhui.
$2 from Daiso!
First thing first is to protect all the cards that have Patrick on them.

I am BIASED just like that. :)

***

 Pancake with cheese, hotdogs, onions and spring onions! :)

Made this for supper when both my brother and I were super hungry!
Looks unappetising but it is not!
Look at the melted cheese!
-nom nom nom-

Chalet with the 4C'08 peeps!
But a few turned up only, there were 6 of us left at the last day.
How sad, but caught up with them and learnt about the latest gossips about many many people.
Shocked a lot of times by different news! :)

 Had to walk a long slope down to get to the entrance.

I've walked so much already and there's still so much more distance left.
See below:

 And I heard from friends coming in at night from the BBQ that it's super dark and scary at night. :O

I miss Mahjonging.
Someone jio me to play please.

 Love and missed this cosy corner at the living room.
Had so much memories then. :)

Was quite sad that a lot of people weren't able to make it.
Some had valid reasons.
Some... I guess, just didn't try hard enough.
2 years really changed some a lot I guess.

 ***

Look at the wallpaper!
So CHIO right.

Taken by your truly's camera!
Not those default wallpaper or what ok!

Didn't want to upload the real one because people might steal it and take it as their own!
Lazy to watermark the original photo and put it here on blog too, but I might do so one day together with the rest of the pretty sunset photos I took the other day at East Coast Park!

 ***

Did this at ehub with Raine for the Marina Bay thingy last year! (Haha seems so long ago)

Okay I am done, will update again soon! :)
