Loreal - REDKEN event (WIP)

8 a.m., arrival at L'oreal academy Bangsar
*small eyed, groggy & tired, but hair all prepped from the day before, stylists covered my striking red hair with red-brown mahogany, touched up my roots and sliced off my fringe. Scarily on the "lala" side, but fringes grow fast :D

 Crazy amount of tiny curls that took FOREVER.

*Richard & Tony fluffy-fying my hair, reminding me of a pretty birds nest :D

Xin Ni hiding behing my nest :D

After the awkward catwalk, the display of skill! :P

This is why I love college.

THURSDAY, after class, one utama.

After a long day of classes, Naomi, Mun Yee & I headed over to One Utama for food. With frozen yogurt in tow - from coffee bean, we headed over to auntie anne's to enjoy the hot, satisfying texture of their pretzels.

It was fun just catching up and talking while inhaling the sweet scent of cinnamon.

Walked around HighStreet and as usual Oooh-ed & Ahh-ed over dresses and accessories.

Naomi got her spectacles done while munyee and I cam-whored, and I debated on whether to get the new sparkler series of contact lenses for rm120 - 3 pairs.

Naomi undergoing a short sightedness test - is that what its called ?

Friday, noon. Taman Megah badminton court.

Played badminton with yee en, joey, and approximately 7 of yee en's male college friends.

All I can say is I'm glad I've got my badminton feel back and I re-gripped all my old racquets.

Saw "Lee Chong Wei" again and couldn't resist myself.

SIGH. When is he going to wake up and realize I'm the one he's been looking for all the time ? :D

Friday, evening, Tian Pin Ke Ke @ SS2.

SO. A good session of badminton allowed us to be entitled to an indulgent meal. Vincent dropped us at Tian Pin Ke Ke @ SS@, and yen and I had a really happy time feeling the slick, smooth texture of our desserts slide down our throat after a long, sweaty game.

watermelon milk sago.

mango pancakes - which had too much cream in it, didn't really enjoy this.

mango with beancurd - which was good.

Friday, evening, at my house.

 Headed back to my house and decided to both cook and bake. Baked a plain chocolate cake that tasted good but looked funny - with an overwhelming amount of whipped cream and melted chocolate as its topping. Ate maggi mee - with our favourite garlic and radish egg.

Sunday, Afternoon, One Utama.

 Headed over to NewYork NewYork and dragged yee en out of her studying frenzy after church.. Ate a mediocre lunch, had my macaroons from LAVA, and walked around drooling over accessoried. I succumbed and got my contact lenses and I also got a necklace from DIVA that was pretty and on sale :D

I WANTED A RING SO BADLY. I'll see if fate allows me to get it, I spent rm 200 plus just on this trip alone.

mushroom cappuccino soup - that tasted like campbell, really.

Mocha.

onion rings.

Caesar Salad.

I also made my newfound favourite soup - Cream of celery and tomato. I had leftover cream from the baking and the chocolate ganache covered strawberries, so I decided to blend celery, tomato, cream and a bit of chicken stock together. IT WAS GOOD :D

Sunday, Night, Fei Yau Long Hu hui

Situated on the same row as the famous SS2 Kayu Nasi Kandar, this is a must try for everyone. An unique combination of soup with fresh seafood, noodles are provided along with it and you're guaranteed to love it if you love seafood. A mixture of crab, squid and prawns, you're allowed to add more ingredients at your own request. Whenever I head over there, I have a minimum of 2 bowls of noodles. For garlic lovers, I suggest you add in garlic and soya sauce to taste and you'll most probably pee in your pants at the goodness of it all. Reasonably priced place, with good tasting pork ribs and asam fish. However, be warned - you can order a type of prawn called "sang ha" thats really big, supremely nice - but at rm19 per 100g. Tonights prawn costed rm50. FOR ONE PRAWN :D

okay so to sum it up I've been eating a lot, heh. Time for me to study harder and work out now. Till then. Toodles ! :D

High School Laughter - not that far away, afterall.

 SO. It's been pretty long since I went out with the bunch of high school mates other than my besties - the foursome. I've missed my friends drastically and I didn't realize how much until I saw them all again. It was really tiring for me as I had 7 hour back to back classes on that day - nevertheless, it was worth it.

The weather was so hot I decided to just throw on an old tank of mine. However, threw on the short sleeved hoodie to fend off perverts very commonly found in that area.

flower in my hair ! That I found annoying halfway so I took it off :D

Ben picked me up and we headed over to Picadilly's - which is in millenium square, somewhere near Jaya33. Really cheap food there and good variety. Taste, probably just tolerable.

My "Thab Thim Grob" which didn't look and taste like red ruby, at all.

After Picadilly's, the bunch of us headed over to my "ex-husbands" house for a visit as he couldn't attend. High school family trees. Complicated. :] He was sick! I was supposed to head over to give him a kiss but heh, :]

I had so much fun catching up with them and I really love doing spontaneous things at random times.

Pity though. I've been looking horrible for photos. I guess all the lack of care and sleep has taken a toll on my eyes. :]

Dinner with the girls , makeover with the lion :)

As most of you who have me on your facebook already know , I recently attended a catch up session with the awesome high school mates , and up until now , I miss them to bits .

We had dinner at Wings Cafe in ss2 , where the food was pretty mediocre but the company good. The song dedication part was fun though ! :D

I'm telling you - those in high school , treasure your moments . Because despite the freedom college life brings , you'll miss the times in high school like crap . And the friends . You'll realize its all that rebelling and maturing together that was part of the fun of it all :)

Where tuition and grades are your main worries in high school , when you go to college , college applications , driving tests , career pathways , financial statuses and finding your niche in society just becomes a chore .

And one more thing (I sound like some old lady , LOL) . Guys at this age - they come and go . But if you do it right , and have the right girlfriends - they play a role in your life thats going to impact your lives forever . So treasure them well .

MAKEOVER ! :)

The next day , Yee en picked me up from college and we headed over to Amber Chai's academy for modelling and makeup to help out Wendy(better known as Sakana Sashimi) with her makeup ! Had a lot of fun sitting in front of the mirror seeing them apply slabs and slabs of foundation , and taking silly pictures after that ! Despite everyone saying otherwise , I really don't think I'm one to pull off the smoky eye look . I am relatively fair , and when you put black eyeliner on me , I just look palely gothic .

But nevermind , it suited halloween , anyways :D My first time in false eyelashes ! (or in heavy makeup other than prom , actually) .

I really had fun catching up with the lion .

I really miss the girls . We've matured so much - but yet we're still the same !

College applications are due ! AHHHH . Choices , decisions .

Mock examinations are in the midst - and a certain someones out of my life ; in that way , anyway .

Whats a girl got to do to cope with everything ? :/
