Glitter obsession

 

SO SAD T-T that I missed buying this baby :(

So bought this instead as a consolation. Cross my fingers that my

work brings the former in so I can snatch them up!

oh yay. happy holidays everyone

There is no way for me to get out of Christmas. I just wish everyone could just stop talking about it. All I want to do is to hide under covers in a room away from everyone until it passes over. At this point of life, I can completely understand why some people choose to die over this period. Sometimes, honestly I don't see the point in anything anymore. Yay to the holiday cheer I'm bringing.

Taken for a ride

I've been so down lately. I just feel like the only person why I'm here for is so far away from me and so disconnected. I feel like all I do is keep running into walls. I keep questioning why. Maybe it's better if I leave but where can I go. It all just goes in circles.

Girl Crush

I've the biggest girl crush on AC. How fantastic does she look in Christopher Kane and of course, her TD4 CO shoes. If there is any celebrity's wardrobe I would raid, hers is definitely first on my list (and Nicole R., Ashley Oslen, Vanessa Hudgens and Lindsay Lohan)!!

wow.

Achieving the splits

My stretch class today was pretty painful especially when stretching into the splits. However, I'm determined to hopefully(!) get into my front splits by the end of this year by stretching 3 times a week. If I can achieve the splits, I'm sure anyone else can too. And this coming from a person who 2 years ago could not touch her toes.

Will be adding pictures of stretches I do to help me achieve the splits!

edited

Just before starting these stretches, please do a warm up for 5 mins (ie running on the spot, skipping, going up and down stairs) as it will make it much, much easier and also, you are less likely to hurt your muscles. Also, my pictures are completely amateur and I was not warm while doing these stretches! I'm only showing one side so remember to stretch the other leg too and to hold them for at least a minute especially when you get into your splits! :) And I'm also showing a few of the stretches as I can't remember them all. Will try and do another post with more stretches if I remember/learn more.

 

Calf stretch. You shld feel the stretch at the extended calf. Not seen in the picture but I'm pushing against the pole, you can do this against the wall.

After calf stretch, put both hands on the floor or as close to the floor as you can.

Knee stretch. I do this because I've weak knee muscles. Use opposite hand to foot and grab the top part of your foot. Ensure your heel is off the ground and the rest of your leg is straight and touching the floor. Note, I'm holding my leg with my other hand.

Sorry for the crotch shot but in this stretch, ensure the extended leg is straight, foot flexed and knee facing towards the ceiling and with your other hand (with the bent knee), try to use it to push it open rather than allowing your bent leg to face towards the front.

This stretch should usually be the last or close to the last stretch you do before you going into your front splits. Make sure your front knee is bent at a 90degrees angle and the back leg on the floor. It is similar to a lunge stretch except your back leg is not up.

My not warmed up splits :( I'll attempt to take a better picture of it when I'm warm :) You can see in this picture my hip is not square, please do try and rotate in and bend into it. And yes, it will hurt but just think of how amazing you'll be when you finally get into the splits!

YAY!

Dark Under Eye Circles

My nemesis.

Recently I've been applying Kiehl's avocado eye cream. Honestly, I don't think it does much to my dark circles except to moisturize it and allows my concealor to blend and stay longer. I'm quite sure my dark circles are a combination of genetics and thin skin because sadly, on one side of my eye, you can see clearly a blueish-green vein. Le sigh. No way to get rid of these babies but just trying to find any method to reduce discoloration.


Just was watching The Doctors and the OB GYN said arnica gel can help so guess who is heading to Myer to Jurlique for arnica cream? Will report back.

Tried this from TBS. Useless and has bad consistancy. There was always separation from the gel and the oil when I push the pump. Yuck.

TOPSHOP

WOOOOOOO

HOOOOOO!!!!

I've been offered a job at Topshop. I'm BEYOND excited right now. I feel a strange need to jump into a big pile of clothes and swim in it.

Cotton On Christmas Casual Interview

I went to a Cotton On CC interview last Sat and yes, I've got a job there as a CC. However, I'm quite sure 95% who were there was hired. I'm writing this as a tip if anyone goes to one! :)

The interview was MASSIVE. We had 12 groups of 8-9 people so that makes it abt 100 people there. I don't think people were particularly dressy. I was so casual. I actually went to a dance class right before heading to the interview. I wore a long beige top, a maroon fishtail long sleeve top and black ripped jeans. We sat in our groups and had a short powerpoint presentation (abt blackout periods etc..) We had a total of 3 activities.

1. We had to introduce ourselves and say why we want to work in Cotton On.
2. We had to ask our partner abt them and try to sell them. I don't think anyone in the group actually tried "selling" their partner except for me. I said something stupid like "X is so talented and she can design and make a website for you, I would definitely buy her and bring her home today!" We had to ask our partner what's their favorite food, what 3 things he/she would bring to a deserted island and other interesting points.
3. We had to pick our an item we are wearing and sell it to the group.

We were then told to wait outside and they will call us back in 15mins to let us know if we got through. It was really stress free and honestly, the people they didn't hire were the people who were late. After that, we had to go fill out some forms and pick our induction dates. It went from 1pm to 3.30pm. SUCH a long interview. GAH! I had to literally dash out the doors and ran to the tram stop so I can get to work on time.

After that, I bought a subway but was very annoyed because I was hungry and had little time and the genlteman in front of me spent $70.35 on subway.

Will write one up for Sportsgirl CC next!

Veggo for a week

Exactly what the title says. I'm going to attempt to be a vegetarian for a week. I barely eat red meat but chicken and fish is going be a bit harder.

I'm cooking broccoli, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms and tofu to bring for work for dinner tonight. Have no time to make lunch so probs going to get a boost and some pastry.

Going to buy eggplant tmr! Got some butternut pumpkin too. Never cooked with either. Going to be interesting!

Went and bought

because the current day/night cream I'm using from The Body Shop is not helping my skin. My skin is still dry and would still have the white dry flaky bits even after I moisterize. Was debating between Kiehl's avocado eye cream or Clinique All About Eyes. Will review it as I go! Will be attempting to try different brands of skincare. My other hit list is MooGoo but since Myer doesn't stock MG. Kiehl's it is! (Hello Myer points!)

MINE!!!

Will be rocking in this all day and night, winter, summer (and the previous studded babies when they arrive). They are 10 times better than what I imagine them to be on my feet.

HAVE

I can hear my boyfriend getting angry at me already.

NEED

Poop.

Want this babies so badly but my bank account disagrees. 

Le sigh. This work seeking business is driving me insane. I want so badly to quit my job to save what's left of my soul.

Shopping ban broken.

Poop.

The world might be ending.

Shopping ban for a month. Till end of August.

I feel as if a big part of me is now lost. I will stop looking at online shopping sites, delete subscribed e-mails and stop going into stores.

ANGRY!

And my cat is going on a hunger strike because she doesn't want to eat raw meat and Aaron is refusing to feed her otherwise but her amber eyes has my soul. It's true what they say. The cat owns you.

I believe this is the reason

Can't sleep. Damn coffee.

Every once in a while, I think of the people I onced loved: ex lovers, ex friends and wonder where did it all go wrong. Why didn't it work it to how I saw it in my head or why didn't we keep to our promises? 

One particular girl I thought I would spend the rest of my life being bffs, I still think of her. I had a dream about her where she was leaving and I woke up crying. I remember all our written promises, all our letters. What happened? I always remembered how after I moved to Cambodia, I went all the way to her place to see her, to give her a letter and I remember her housekeeper telling me she wasn't home and she will pass the letter to her. And I never heard back.

I keep asking myself the same question when I already know the answer. Selfishness. People are afraid, lazy. How can relationships be this fraglie? How could they just rip my heart out and leave me to all these tears. nights spent questioning myself? Nights where I just cry myself till I could no more.

To say I no longer give a damn is an overstatement. I'm unsure of how I feel. Care? Yes. Maybe. A little. Love? Perhaps but highly unlikely. No.

People are shit.

This is why I think I've no friends cause I've given up on people but the silly romantic part of me still believe that people are true and they are just scared.

Maybe I'm just too hung up. Or just stupid.

Impeccable!

These babies are on their way to me.

xx

No one gives a fuck.

People are shit.

Sometimes, I honestly don't know why I still exist because I have absolutely no love or trust for anyone and the only friends I love and have a connection to are so far away. I'm constantly terrified that my boyf will leave me. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I'm so guarded, so angry and aggressive all the time. I don't exactly see why I should even be here or anywhere.

Too cold!

 

Just so you know, I had a temporary case of hypothermia while attempting to run in place for pictures cause my webcam has no timer. Why, where's your heater, you ask? Not in use because I'm asian and I'm cheap and we want to buy a house and our last electricity bill was pretty much $350 for a couple who works 35-40 hours a week. REALLY?? REALLY!!!!!

Look what arrived this morning!!

 

Delicious!
