Oh, just some pictures from work today. Shoot for Chinese weekly magazine with Jackky, Fish and Wen Jiet (I couldn’t pronouns his chinese name). Wardrobe by Darian. Hair by Dylan, Make up by Desmond Yoi (Snips).

Kesian, kuli of the day.    

Today is one of the unfortunate days in life and hopefully this won’t be a continuous series. It has been bad enough until 11.30 pm on 30/07/09.

First off, in the midst of yawning and holding a very heavy back pack, my hand phone fell off my lap as I got out of the car. *I suspect*

It is still all good when I realize it. After all, the phone is in very bad condition and needed to be change. The only reason I am still keeping  it is sentimental values for my personal belonging which has been on my side for the past 1 1/2 years. So, I was just waiting for its days to end.

Without much whining, I continue to my work. As I joyfully skip out of the office after a long tiring day, I bang my head onto the ceiling. No, it’s not what you think! *I wasn’t wearing heels* For a good 15 seconds, I was screaming in silence with my knees on the floor and hands on top on my skull. OUCH~! I can still feel the lump now.

Fine. Wishing I could go home and stay away from all hazardous environment. I got back to my car at the best traffic jam hour, 5.30 pm. *Contemplating* Shall I just drive home straight in the midst of massive traffic jam or shall I stay put here in town?

Well, I decided to go for a movie alone. I can skip the traffic and stay away from accident. What are the chances of getting hurt in a cinema where I sit down peacefully through the traffic jam hours.

In my mind, I was thinking:

• Choice 1: Public Enemies by Johnny Depp
• Choice 2: Overheard by Daniel Woo

WHAT?! One showing only at midnight and the other has only front rows. FINE! I told the ticketing counter to get me any English movie starting soon with a decent seat for one, preferably no one AROUND, thank you. Yeay, he was very nice to get me separated from everyone =D

Once I got into the cinema, oh…I’m watching Ghost of Girlfriends Past by Matthew McConaughey. NO GOOD~! Chick flick movie never fails to make my cry. And tears doesn’t really compliment my smoky eyes makeup. FINE~! I can live with smear makeup. I sit down and watch the movie with an open mind.

The movie is about Matt (Connor), a player who believes love makes a person weak, dependent and fat. He is visited by the ghosts of his former jilted girlfriends, who take him on a revealing and hilarious odyssey through his failed relationships. Well, I was wrong. I could get hurt in the cinema. Mentally hurt. Connor points out the one thing I fear and happened to my previous relationship. I’m afraid of being hurt, therefore I escape before I could get hurt.

Sad and stupid it might sound but I do have the tendency to sabotage/breakup my relationship previously. I live in my own fairytale land where I believe one day, I’ll find ‘the one’ who never gives up on me, appreciates my effort for the relationship and most importantly, loves me. And like wise, I’ll do the same to him.

Naive, I know. But, I have faith.

Two pieces of tissues soaked with my tears after 1 1/2 hours. Expressionless, I just walked aimlessly around town for an hour. Confused, shaken and lost. Then, I remembered. Someone might be looking for me. Quickly, I hurried home and switch on my computer. There it is. I am here and back.

He lived more than 60 years to watch us grow up and here he is celebrating another year wiser.

Well, the video says it all…people says a picture paints a thousand words, then I suppose a video paints it all.

Still in the Korea hype, we went to Laneige Bridal Workshop on 25 July from 10 am – 4pm just to find out how the Koreans get hitched.

At the registration, I was greeted by Mingle from Blu Inc with a huge goodie bag containing lots of sample size Laneige products for men and women, and bridal magazines. The itinerary was korean cooking class, lunch, Korean marriage tradition, Tres Beau Momento - the wedding planner talk on preparation before marriage and lastly grooming by Laneige.

We got to do hands on practice for preparing hand roll and kimchi. Due to our humid weather, the kimchi is ready in within 3 days. And I successfully cut the handroll into pieces without crushing it after Renee rolled it together with pickles, egg, spinach and sausages.

According to the coordinator at Korea Plaza, in the modern Korean couple culture, the groom will buy a house and the bride will supply all the electrical appliances in the house. Hehm, if you ask me the Malaysian culture is too complicated coz we have too many ethnicity, all mixed up.

I didn’t pay much attention on the wedding planner talk as I couldn’t stand the winter-like air conditioning anymore.

Laneige skincare session is pretty interesting where they teaches how to take care of the skin 6 months before the big day with proper skin care regime (makeup remover – cleanser – toner – essence – serum – moisturiser – eye care), and weekly maintenance (hydrating mask, scrub and deep cleansing mask). Too bad, it was just briefly mentioned. Main focus is on the makeup but it wasn’t that great because from my experience, Korean girls on the street hardly put on makeup. The only thing is BB Cream, which is easily found in any drugstore and any korea brand cosmetics. Every time we enter a cosmetic shop and ask for ‘Korea No.1?’, the sales person will point us to the BB Cream shelf.

Lunch. I kinda like the ‘tong fun’ (lowest right).All the couples who attended the workshop

The first step to blend into the whole korean style, we need to get a pair of glasses.


Renee (LapSap glasses) + ::kyanmay:: (Harry Potter glasses) blending into the whole korean culture. Almost every fashionable people here wears it.

P.S: I see Xu Tag wear it all the time, so I called it 'lap sap glasses'.
