ok peeps, i'm fine la! ke. thanks Irene for the prayer tho. and thanks to my Sis for her buddha pendant too. =) the last couple of days i was in comfortable singapore, the more i tink the more scientific the basis seems. so yeah. i'm cool!! :P

suffered from very bad food poisoning last week and had to return for a couple of days. it was a welcome relief from the taxing conditions here but cant take my mind off all that i've so painstakingly planned, so i'm back today for a full 20-day run! bring it on!

recalling, that food poisoning episode was horrendous, to say the least. man, i donno how i survived that 1 hour plane journey to jakarta. i was in Solo you c. i felt like DYING. i think the man sitting diagonally behind me thought so too. damn the Solo hotel to be fully booked. i received a business-like "Ok u may extend but only until tml" when i explained i am terribly unwell and need to extend my stay. no offers whatsoever to send a doctor. damn it. makes the decision to check out immediately for the subsequent intolerable travel to jkt seems sound-made. i declare i am not going to stay there again! ok maybe for the next month la... hotel has free wireless internet in lobby u c..

so terrible to be all alone, sick, nauseous, laosai-ed and carrying a heavy laptop backpack while waiting for the damn Silver Bird at the airport. the 10 min ride to the nearest hospital seemed like eternity. it was supposed to be an 'interntional' hospital but i think the only English they got right was my name. the nurse said 'Sebentar' after trying unsuccessfuly to communicate in local tongue - and nvr came back!

it took a day of mistaken identity of gastritis, 3 injections (1 on my butt ok!), 2 hospitals, 1 intolerable plane ride before i landed in assuring arms. hee. thanks ling for the airport pickup.

it made me appreciate so many things now k! like how beautiful and welcoming the doctor in the clinic below now seems! Like how precious Fishball Bee Tai Bak actually is! Like how great a feeling it is to fart and burp!

Three times. the immobilising pressure. my head was tilted to one side pressing my right face onto the pillow. the screeching noise was immense. finally forced out a shout and it ended.

i must be too tired. exhausted maybe. i've read about this kinda stuff. It's my imagination. i know. i'm a science student. this is a scientific world.

First the standing lamp, then the desk lamp. then the standing lamp and then the desk lamp. The standing lamp again, the desk lamp again. it went on (or rather OFF) repeatedly. i had to on it repeatedly. everytime. until i got so frustrated i cant concentrate on replying my emails i just let out an angered argh. it stopped.

i know it's the wiring. they must have been fixing something. it should be. i'm a science student. this is a scientific world.

Talking and laughing it off is supposed to work. I'm a science student. this is a scientific world.

i'm still here. don't ask me til i get back.

Sis just returned from her 6-day HK trip last Saturday. Amongst her many conquests were these:

Can you count the no. of pairs here?

Ans: 9 (absent w apologies: Beige Boots and Brown Boots)

2 pairs are for me. Pretty difficult to ascertain it here i think, because of the picture angle. My sisters and mum guessed it immediately just by checking out the size. ke. Can you guess which pairs are mine? :P

Oh there's a note asking my mum to identify which one's hers, when she wakes up. ke.

Let's see what i can come up with after such a long spell of absence.

So i've watched Night in the Museum. Very funny. Very educational. Now i know the 26th President of the US is Teddy Roosvelt and Sakagea (i still cant comprehend the pronounciation tho) is such an expert pioneer in navigation.

Will surely miss Curse of the Golden Flower since i'm flying Friday for the 5-week trip. sigh. just thinking about it makes me lethargic.

havent been to class for such a long while, i must make sure i call tomorrow to inform i'll miss the examination (again) this Jan and my deferment (again) to July. grr. Hmm, since we are on this, let's see what photos i can show.

Credits to Cousin Stella as the model below:

Before

After

Stella wanted a simple makeup to her faculty's DnD. So I focused on brightening up the eyes.

Suami & Ms Feng as models for my class:

After (forgot to take a Before one:P)

Before

After

Suami's was a Day Bridal, Ms Feng a Night Bridal. Tried a Cat's Eye on Ms Feng to create a double eyelid effect on her single eyelids (and because i think she has this deposition within! Meow! :P)

There's a favourite one i did on Suami but it's not within this computer, so next time!

I regret the many sessions that i did not capture with a camera, like my cousins' and auntie's make up for my cousins' weddings this year. Like the many times i made up on my sister before her dinners. Like the inifinte times Suami was my model. mental note:bring a camera everytime!

received my first angpao for the makeup work i did for Cousin Serene's wedding just 2 months ago. Must say i am satisfied. really.

Because i have yet to obtain my certificate, i will only be charging the cost price per session - starting from $20 for makeup and $25 for make up and hair-styling. It all depends on the 'where, when and how'. Make up in your house or my house? Day time or Evening time? Simple or Elaborate? Contact me all right! ;) Hm, i shld come up with a separate blog for this.

On this note, special thanks to Suami for relentlessly sparing me the modeling time for my classes. To Ms Feng for agreeing to be my model at last min notice. To EbbnFlo for recommending me to a number of makeup jobs which i regret not being able to take up except for the recent wedding. *wink*
