Time Management

One thing I seem to have lost during the holidays besides a sane sleeping pattern is my time management abilities.

It wasn't like I wasn't juggling classes, assignments, modeling, friends and other careers advances during the last sem. Its just that I've lost my ability to keep up with it. I keep double booking myself, agree-ing to do a job, then remembering I've already another job or promising to attend a birthday party and forgetting I have fitting on that day.

Camwhoring during NDPW, say goodbye to my turquoise nails, got a jewelry show on Friday, not allowed to have nail polish. :(

The worst part is when I forget who owes me money and for what. Which company did I do a runway show for, who I'm supposed to claim my cheque from. I've only started writing down in my Moleskine rip-off notebook all the crucial details. Lol.

Yes, I have a Moleskine rip-off. Its called a Monolouge and it costs a fraction of what a Moleskine does but has even thicker watercolor quality paper. Boo you conformists!

LookBook post! As promised! Click for details. Mwa.

PS: Chased Bailey around the living room just now. The moment I caught her she squealed and peed across half the living room floor. -.-

Drowning

I don't think I'll ever get over being angsty.

They say teenagers are full of them, angst and resentment. I'm not a very easy person to please, even I don't know what I want out of life or even worse, what to expect out of life. I think I have too many dreams and ideals about how life should be, and know that neither of them are realistic.

I used to be so much more self-assured about who I am, I used to have a proper goal and identity of who I was and what I was going to do in life. When I was twelve, I wrote in my diary "I am never going to live a boring life." and thrust myself head-first into everything I did. I think I was so much more confident as a teen than I am now at the verge of adulthood. Where I was self-assured I knew everything I now know that I know nothing.

I think I'm a very closed up person.

I do not like to let people know how I truly feel.

Or how badly I want something.

I don't like to ask for help.

I wish I was able to do everything myself sometimes.

But I am drowning.

MGMT

Wicked awesome!

Although I must say I probably was the only one who enjoyed it. The rest were raring to go, didn't even want to stay for the encore. I was bouncing up and down at the back begging them to stay longer.

I saw a tweet that probably summarized the whole concert though "MGMT has no stage presence, just full on music nerds." Which was true, barely any interaction with us really, crowd was rowdy too, guy next to me keep puffing cigarettes in my face. I smoked the equivalent of twelve cigarettes in second hand smoke standing next to him.

Owell. I only for the time being have photos we took outside because my camera started going wonky in the dark and refused to focus. Result of dropping it one too many times? I think so too.

Me and the boys.

Suzuki's shirt. Lol.

Brought my indian headdress along.

Jasmine <3

Wei Jun.

Outfit shot! Lol. But outfit post later, I promise.

And finally, my only shot of the band because my camera started acting up indoors.

Baby bird my mom found in the garden yesterday! Bad pic coz it looked pretty terrified and I didn't want to stress out.

PS: Also watched Black Swan yesterday with Jin Rui and Niesha, was so mindblowing we lay on the living room floor and stoned for hours after.

Tingling Spine

I can't sleep.

In less than 24 hours. I will be seeing MGMT.

LIVE.

Going to dance my feet to stumps.

Contemplating wearing wedges just so I can see the show from wherever I choose to stand :{

Flash Deliriummmm.

Ooooh girl, shock me like an electric feel.

The Lady of Shalott

Is anyone else having internet problems?

Because it took me 3 days and a variety of different computers to edit the last post. Streamyx has almost come to a standstill, TMNet is blaming it on the earthquake in Japan but I really think its all conspiracy to force all of us to subscribe to Unifi. (Pretty rich considering I worked as a TMNet Ambassador O.o)

Godiva Macaroons- Being RM15 for two you'd think they'd taste fantastic.



Tell the truth, they were some pretty crappy macaroons. Boo Godiva. Boo.

Anyways, I've been having an extra productive time. Finished both my Journalism Ethics and New Design assignment, I've been staying in the library till closing time almost-daily, to leach off the internet and also because I'm too poor to buy a Mac.

We have this assignment in Digital Storytelling that's left me stumped. Its a self-narrated story about our lives and besides being self-indulgence of the highest level, I really have nothing to talk about my life. Life events are either too mundane or too private to share, and the deadline is next week. =S

Today has been a good day though, on top of having fantastic laksa for dinner and finishing both assignments. I found out the guy me and Carmen have been stalking, creatively dubbed: Moustache boy, because... wait for it... he has a moustache, has a twin. Fantastic, I want the one with more facial hair and she wants the one thats in our class but I think the one in our class has more facial hair. O.o

Also had a fantastic parking spot right on the roundabout so I didn't have to walk through mud and rain and cow poop. Ah, good times, good times.

Here is a photo of me freezing my ass off in the library courtesy of photobooth.

PS: Can anyone teach me to toilet train Bailey? I love her but I wish she'd stop pee-ing herself so I can cuddle her.

Lights will guide you home...

Hello audience in my almost-dead blog.

Haha. I get very lazy and I don't know what else to do sometimes. Worked in an Armani Exchange event in front of Pavilion today. Feet look grossly mutilated from standing 6 hours straight in 6 inch heels. But the DJ they hired was so good, it made the girls dance. I was dancing, the doormen in front of Coach was dancing, the people were bobbing their heads. Ah, music. Contemplated posting up a pic of my feet for the gore lovers out there but am afraid will scare away the remaining 5 readers I have left. Hahaha.

To compensate, here are some photos I took with the guys- Phil, Wei Jun and Nick after his birthday dinner. Its nice to have brilliant photographer friends. Nicholas is the official photographer at Laundry Bar and runs a fantastic blog at http://www.nicholaschinphotos.com/.

All taken around HELP College at 2am in the morning, non-alcohol induced. Haha. I omitted the vertical photographs cause it doesn't agree with my OCD tendencies. (Photo's should be of similar height and length!) That said- I love you guys. :))

BOO!

PS: Haha. Okay I lied. Goodbye blogreadership!

Chanel No.5

Been going through a lot of short films lately which led me to watching a lot of perfume comercials.

Perfume comercials tend to have to be more creative because they can't sell a scent through sight, but they can potray a brand name or a lifestyle. Some perfume comercials don't really make sense but are just beautiful visuals of beautiful people in beautiful places. Read: Gucci by Gucci and Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana.

But my favorite of all are the Chanel No.5 comercials. The directors are brilliant, give them two minutes and they create the most stunning romance stories ever. To me, Nicole Kidman's is the best; the soundtrack is Debussy's Claire De Lune. (Before Twillight ruined it =/)

Audrey Tatou



Estella Warren

Feeling so inspired right now. I think my next project will be to film a video editorial.

Old but I've yet to post it up. I tend to sit around sketching girls like these when I'm up in the late night but rarely do I ever finish them and color them like this.

PS: I think I'm addicted to Laser Tag in Midvalley nao.

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade.

Temporary lapse in updates as college has officially started. (And also because I lost my camera cable.) I did a few pretty cool runway shows and have lots of photos to share but I can't get them out of my camera now.

Eyelid infection ate my double eyelids. -__-

I'm also suffering from eyelid infection on one of my eyes so I've been going through daily tasks with a permanent O.o face. I've been drawing one eyeliner thicker than the other to balance out my eyes. Strangely though, the swollen eye carries makeup better than the normal one, especially smokey eyes. Its been a week though, so I'm almost fully recovered.

I also made the mistake of dyeing my hair too dark. I used Liese bubble hair color, in Dark Chocolate and according to the box it wouldn't get this dark. But my hair is really malleable, if we were talking my hair in a human context it would be the douche that always succumbs to peer pressure. Lol.

The last time I tried to dye my hair chestnut, it came out blonde. I tried to dye it back to brown but it came out red. So I tried to dye my hair dark brown, it came out almost black. =.= I don't think I like it too much but I've got to give my hair a break, I've been doing hair shows and stressing out my hair lots. Letting it have a breather before I dye it caramel again least it decides to "memberontak" and fall off.

Meen turned 20!



We were hysterical. =/



Photo on fb that drove me to dye my hair brown. Black roots = ugh.

PS: Watching Mike Rowe sticking his arm up a cows bum-bum on "Dirty Jobs". I would totally marry Mike Rowe. Lol.
