My Story ♥

the R.AGE article that i had been harping on some time ago.

just for memory keepsake in case i formatted my laptop or anything. have a read :) and i have a question to ask towards the end. this blog is getting dead. i need some response. from both readers and ... the blog owner herself ;p

Make-Up or is it makeup?

Before I start, let me clarify that I do not insist all girls should wear make up to campus. Instead, what I am trying to say here is, if this one girl prefers to slap on powder on her face les no au naturale, then it is not anybody’s business to reprimand her for it.

Just like dressing and manners, it is our human right to choose the way to present ourselves. This shows our individuality and that no two human beings are the same. People tend to have this bias perceptive that girls who make up are attention-whores. Even before she speaks or do anything, they assume she is an airheaded bimbo. How is that fair? It is like judging a book by its cover and that is just plain stupid.

On campus, many male counterparts express their dislike on make ups. They could not understand why is there a need to draw black eyeliner to enlarge one eyes or swipe on blusher to give that healthy rosy cheek look. It is just class. Students go to classes to attend lectures and gain knowledge. What they forget is that, classes are also a place to socialize. Some girls like to present themselves as the old-school nerd with black-framed spectacles and all. But other girls prefer the wondrous effect of make ups that can cover all flaws to their last freckles.

There is this famous saying going like this. No woman is born ugly, only those who are lazy and could not be bothered are. Let’s see, single eye-lid? One can easily buy double eye-lid tape and problem solved. Listless eyes? A swipe of mascara and the eyes instantly shine. Add on false eyelashes and you get the dramatic effect. Girls of the new generation are no more constrained by their flaws or plain look! Well, maybe their make up skills.

And there is the hoo-ha on all things natural. Well, if you look like Jessica Alba without any make up on, then congratulations! But for those other unfortunate girls who had a nose too flat, a freckle too much; make up is the best solution for them. It covers the flaw and without the flaw blinding everyone’s vision, any girls can instantly gained the confidence of Mount Everest. We all know how important confidence is to any individuals.

It is not wrong for a girl to want to prettify herself and look presentable. Those people who talks and criticizes behind her back are just sour grapes who could not stand the sight of prettier being. They are emotionally insecure of themselves but could not care less to make an effort. One thing for sure, make up is not as easy as it looks. It requires skills and patience to get the best outcome. I would go as far to say these girls are very hardworking. One is required to wake up half to one hour earlier everyday just to look good for classes.

What’s more when female students have formal events or presentations to go to at campus; make up is a must! It is considered a manner to wipe on at least some lip gloss/ lipstick to cover the chapped lips and to add colours to sleepy faces. Furthermore, there is the transition from teenagers to womanhood. Undergraduates can already be considered adults and this make up business is just a matter of time before they step out into the working world. University life is all about preparing students for the real world, isn’t it?

Thus, I say make up is necessary though not compulsory on campus. But as females, we would not like to be the left-out ugly ducklings. So pick up your brush and you might see make up in a different light altogether.

THE END.

My Story ♥

jumble of nonsense

hmmm..its been a long time :) again.

anyway, alot had happened!!

tests, moral social works, studies, awkward happenings, online shopping spree, the R:AGE article, the disappointment, Sushi King extreme, and i cant think of any more.

the tests. yeah..boring stuff. nobody wanna know what test i had or what im goin to face after my midterm break. and nobody will care im gonna be having exams three consecutive Fridays once my midterm break ends. and nobody care i dun understand even half of what the lecturers been rambling on the past eight weeks. omg has eight weeks already past???? like its just yesterday it seems july and now its aug. the national day! :S

i was broke. note the past tense. HAHA after my trip back to bp i get err sufficient amount of money to financially aid me. hahaha. anyway, i withdrawn RM600 just from atm in July. i keep those atm receipts and get severe heartache and heart attack. it is NOT that lot but i think i normally dun spend that much. or do I? cos sometimes dad will slip me a few hundred whenever i went back bp. but since i so seldom go back now, the spare cash dwindles ALOT. ;p

anyway, the online shopping spree is about this!

isnt this the nicest pair of sandals?? hmmp..but it cost a whooping amount of 62++ bucks plus the postage. so expensive but actually it only cost US$9.99!! but plus shipping, credit charges blabla and SIXTY BUCKS. sixty bucks for a freaking gladiator sandal.

hmmm actually i did buy you know. after a night of struggling and reasoning with sharee chng. she herself got attracted to another pair but she is more resillient than me towards tempatation.

and the next day, in between classes, i slipped out to put on my order, thinking damn me. me n my insatiable shopping temptation. i was broke then. but i guess i'll figure things out. and started those starving plans, cheap and a good way to slim down bla bla.

but even God disapprove of such money spending. cos when i check back later, the order had already closed before my order and i would have to wait for second batch if i still wanna buy. and THEN i got to my senses and withdrew. pat myself on the back! and lei say the sandal look so like what i normally wear. doesnt worth it lorrr

oh then there's the moral social work thingy. we went to Salvation Army HopeHaven Malacca one hot Saturday morning. luckily we chose morning. aburthen i turn roast pig :X

at first i thought it will be just getting to know the childrens, playing with them and sorts. like what we do those days at Early Intervention Centre EIC. lots of easy work, interaction and play. but there seems to be some miscommunication and we turned part time gardener! weeding, unclogging, cutting branches and pulling out banana tress -.-

i was asked to unweed and entire wall of curly tangly weeds!! for a girl!! but luckily i got helps from two male counterparts. thus my fast work. i end up finishing early and walking around laughing at/ encouraging others hard at work. plus taking alot of pictures. remember this is an assignment after all. we need all the proof we can. and trust me there is plentiful. cos its all real and sweat worthy! no pretense cos there REALLY is so much work to do!!

everyone remember this???? this is our so called weeding back then. and picking up rubbish. are those rubbish our own?? HAHAHAHHA

and i truly understood how easy we fooled out moral teacher and get our moral grades. i work my ass off that day at the Salvation Army. Pictures!

i cleaned the whole patch!!!! okay..with help ;p

lastly group pictures. with food and old clothes which we brought along. i think we really give our best during the visit. if compared to my last moral project ;p ;p ;p its two hours of hard work under the blazing sun!

and the last day before semester break, the housies and roomies and bfs went to sing karaoke! we sing our throat sore for 5 hours! but everyone is so tired from works and tests and studies we felt so sleepy in the end. anyway, lots of camwhoring!

roomie hooiling loves the last pic so much and insisted i edit it kao kao. ANNDDDD i ran out of ideas so i used pan's instead. turn out quite nice :)

the residents of 607, though some tends to disappear often too much ;p

then about the R:AGE article, i left the paper at bp when i bring back to haolian to my parents. haha so no pictures. kinda a disappointment since they got my name wrong, AND they mixed up the articles. meaning my article but not my name. then my name but not my article. nevertheless, they are paying me! so no complain :)

then the awkwardness. it is about me walking off without paying for the food and getting called VERY loud by the chicken rice uncle in a food court. lucky not much people is around. so embarrassing!! hahahha. and Sushi King Extreme is just me n mr.v gorging ourselves to death without caring the bill. explained my over spending and broke situation :X

anyway, mr.v been waiting for me to watch Get Smart since forever. gotta go bye!
