Portable?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

With the freaking hot weather, I have to use two fans in my medium sized rented room to cool me down. Day and night.

And I guess is is probably time to get an air conditioner but not the conventional type. A portable one. It is kind of hard to find one in the local shops as I guess the demand is not as high. After some googling, I find that one can always find a best buy at www.buy.com as they have almost everything that you want  to find.

I am still contemplating of getting one right now as it is still pricier than the conventional air conditioner. But how long will this freaking hot weather lasts?                                   

Beauty Tips~

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

I want to be pretty but I don’t want to spend too much time on it. Here are some of the quick beauty tips that you can count on : - Apply moisturiser at night so you look younger and fresher the next day. - Get makeup base and powder in one for quick application. 

- To make your eyes look more awake and open, try a bit of slightly shimmering neutral eye shadow, nothing flashy - baby powder could help absorb the conditions of greasy hair.  - If your face is in need of a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, try misting some toner on and blotting it off gently using a tissue, being careful not to rub your makeup off. - When washing or applying makeup to your face, always use upward motions. Downward rubbing motions can pull skin down, encouraging sagging skin.

Different Lines

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Recently, I met with some of my childhood classmates during a wedding dinner. It’s good to catch up with them and get to know what others are doing. Many of them are overseas. I guess we have ventured to many different professional lines and industry.
To my surprise, quite many of them are practising laws; in my country, Singapore and even

UK! The top girl in my class is now one of the Mesothelioma lawyers!. How impressive!
It makes IT line seems a little dull and boring! Well, indeed it is though with all the challenges & face pace of this line.

Insurance

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

As most of the many older generations, my parents do not have life insurance. Financial was a little difficult in those days for them to afford the luxury of life insurance although it does provide security for most people.

However, as they are getting older, it is not easy to buy a life insurance for them as many companies have very strict rules on older people and their health condition. Of course I’ll have to look for those life insurance with no exam no questions for them.
Well, it is better late than never, isn’t it?

Toner~!

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Toner is apply after you cleanse your skin before you put moisturiser on it. But it is a step which many people would like to skip it and I am one of them.

I do not see the purpose of using the translucent liquid which doesn’t seems to bear any good effect on my face. Or so I thought till I googled why do I need to use toner and what is the benefit or goodness of it.Toner will improve your skin tone by tightening your pores helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It will increase circulation, giving your face a healthy glow, hydrate your skin and restore your skin’s natural PH balance.A skin care toner will enhance the overall cleanliness of the skin by removing dead skin cells, dirt, oil and any residue from tired and lackluster skin. 

So, don’t skip using your toner now for a more radiant and beautiful face!

End

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Finally after 5 days of travelling, I am back last night. Spent 3 hours cleaning up my room and house; the fans, floors, shelves and laundry.

Today I’ll spent the day hanging out, watching DVD and have a real rest. But it is freaking hot! How I wish the weather could be more forgiving! How nice would it be to live in a cold country where you can snuggle in a heated blanket at night.

Anyway. back to work tomorrow, how I dreaded it!

Holiday is over. :(

Holiday~

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Wooohooo! Four days holiday, a much needed holiday for me. And for many people as well, I believe. Needed a break, I am heading north for some good food and hopefully shopping. A de-stress trip for me or I might need acne treatments for all the pimples that are popping up.

I hope there wouldn’t be bad traffic jam as of usual. Or else, another stressful trip on the road, looking for parking and jostling in the crowd.

Opportunities?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

After years of no contact, recently I keep getting calls from an ex-colleague. We met up for lunch one of the weekday as we work nearby. It was good to catch up with him until I realise that he might want to sell me something!

He was talking about making extra money through various way and asked if I am interested. Although he is main business is in video surveillance equipment, he is looking at multi level marketing and
other opportunies.

Although I have shown a great amount of interest, I think he is still trying to call me every now and then to meet up for more business opportunities.Just how do I resist him in a more determined manner?

Farewell!

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Due to work, I missed one important dinner; a birthday of a housemate and a farewell on another housemate. I really wanted to go and I thought I could make it. But to my disappointment, I was tight up on work till about 10.30pm when the dinner was over.

I didn’t even get to see him on the next night as I work pretty late too and he left without saying goodbye. Except in the phone, of course!

I was told that his new place in another country gonna be cool. What’s with fully furnished condo and central vacuum and many cool facilities.

Perhaps, when time and budget allowed, I could visit him in Xiamen!

Poor Kitty

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

I saw the cute kitten and its mommy cat in the morning when I put my clothes out for sun. The little playful kitten was content playing with a piece of dry leaves while the mommy cat watching it carefully. 

In the early evening after I came back from late lunch, as I walked to my house I saw the kitten lying still on the porch. 

At first I thought that it was dead. I walked nearer and saw some blood stain nearby. Watching intently at the stomach for sign of breathing, I was still hoping that it was just sleeping. But evidently it was dead. Still. 

I felt sorry for the kitten which must have been under the car when it moved; apparently unaware by the driver. 

A young life, which was still happy a few hours ago, now lying lifelessly on my porch.  

And the poor mommy cat seems to be lingering around, looking for her lost kitten. Life couldn’t be more unpredictable..
