Looking goodWell, I was somehow reminded today to blog surf.
I have a window in my Mac OS Firefox that saves a bunch of sites, all blogs.
This saves me clicking through a Bookmarks list, though if my OS ever crashed, i guess it'll all be over! ahah
(Ooo I just found the "Bookmark all tabs" option! Hooray!)
I was bitten recently, by the Makeup bug.
Think it happened at my Hermes photoshoot, and I spent the most I've ever spent on Makeup.
I can't tell you how much, cus my mum wouldn't be happy.
But honestly, cheap makeup doesn't carry good colours.
So now I've a properly stocked up Makeup kit, the first time in my life at age 24.
In my collection: M.A.C, Shu Uemura, Revlon, Sephora, Maybelline
I admit I've taken quite long to muster the courage to spend on MAC and Shu Uemura, (and even Revlon) but with the quality I'm getting, boy it's worth it.
I now take at least half an hour to do my makeup, but I feel like I'm painting something new each time I stand in front of my mirror, freshly washed face. I like to say this is my latest hobby.
yes...really
And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, because I usually mock people who say this, but I thought to myself last Sunday, "goodness, I don't have anything to wear!"
Of course it's not that I've nothing to wear, but I guess, I haven't gone clothes shopping in a while. And while I've, erhem, matured in the last year, my clothes haven't. I've still got garments from the year 2005/6, which I thought were the coolest then, but really don't suit me very well anymore. Mmmm, i miss shopping overseas...

On our way out, before the incident
While we're on this sad note, I just want to make a mention that a few weekends ago, I decided to go shopping with my clutch sized Coach handbag and foolishly thought my PLASTIC sunglasses would survive rubbing against all the things I'd stuffed in my bag.
Result: another pair of broken sunglasses I adored -__- (they were from Santa Barbara)

I can actually tell you all the times I've regretted a simple silly act, that landed me with a broken something-dear.
Case 1. My all time fav sunglasses from Primark UK that were only £2.50
Case 2. My favourite designer ring from San Francisco in 2008 that was USD12

sigh- sigh
