*tip tac toes*
I got to admit age is catching up with me when i realised i no longer just use a lip gloss as my makeup. There was a time where natural beauty and youth required no makeup at all. I'm afraid that was the fleeting past.
I wasn't much of a makeup person in the first place. I hated makeup, i had my own share of exposure to heavy stage makeups for four yrs when i was in secondary sch. I knew how to stick fake ridiculously long eyelashes to my eyelids like a pro. I knew how to make my nose bridge look even more defined that it aldy is. I hated the thick foundation i had, how it deprieved my pores of its well deserved oxygen intake. In those days the foundation were real bad. I mean looks at those miracle foundation we have on the market nowadays,it's a far cry from then. I always believed in the least the makeup, the betta it is. I dont want to kill my pores and have more pimples. ANd i believed i look gd enuff without makeup.
BUT like i said that was a fleeting past. Fatigue,exhaustion,deprieved of gd peaceful sleep, the concealor has become my bestest fren indeed. I never realised how much i relied on it to hide my apparent dark circles and blemishes. Until one day i lost my concealor,whenever i go out and i know my blemishes are so obvious i felt so insecure. So i pulled deying to bodyshop to get the TEA TREE concealor, with healing properties. And then stupid mi got the wrong color and didn't realise it till i have to go out the next time and i was juz so horrified. Again i pulled deying to body shop to have it changed. I still believe in having as less makeup as possible,especially that damn foundation, i would never ever touch it unless i have to go for a formal dinner or big occasion. The concealor works just fine. And then the eyes. I love eye make up. And i'm obsessed with lip glosses for one time. I have to look refreshed,look gd b4 i could bring myself to go out. With this haggard and tired face of mine, i think i betta hide it. Lucky the situation is not that bad, i don't have to rely on makeup all the time. If i have enuff rest i just look gd, i don't even need makeup, mayb alittle brush up here n there for the perfect healthy look. Did i mention masscara are a godsend to women? DO i sound bimbotic here? It makes any tired eyes perk up once applied. So it's v handy...
I talk like as if i know alot of things. The fact is i don't. I only know i look like a witch right now. What's with the hair? Can i don't comb my hair? It's never ever gonna b straight no matter how i comb it. I think i'm considering perms again. At least i don have to comb my hair or try to make it straight.
Did i mention that tuesday's pilates was difficult like hell? Much as i want to believe that i've become alittle fitter, the instructor oso added more difficulty to all that stretching n stuffs..again halfway thru the class i just want to drop my legs n let my poor legs and abs rest. Near the end of the class, only the instructor seemed to be doing all the excercises, most of us were pretty dead.Oh so tough!! I think i betta start practising at home ...
Last nite was xiaohui's graduation showcase at laselle. So meimei,deying and i made our way there...to give her our support. Muz say the whole thing was quite interesting. The students each have their works on exhibition. I think this art thing is definetely too chim for mi to understand. And i tot i could at least understand alittle of art u know. I tot i knew what is the difference b/w nice and not nice. BUT ..these totally blew me away. I donoe wat they r........and even if they tried expkaining their concepts, i still don't understand from how they ended up with this painting with their original concepts u know. I think we are talking abt very different things here. Mayb if i were to tell them about cloning,abt putting genes into bacteria and then putting them back into some cells to b expressed, abt all the organs that came into my lab, they also won't understand. They served wine and beer, but we came too late and only deying had the last glass of red wine available. The rest of us drank tiger beer. And knowing that my alchohol tolerance sux, the beer made mi pretty sluggish n tired. And a little snappy. Bcos..i am really quite tired in the 1st place, and the bag is so heavy,my right arm is giving mi probs with its old familar aching, my whole body was aching due to pilates and i just want to sleep. Can't blame mi for being alittle ....impatient n snappy hee. I'm so tired i barely knew wat i was doing. It happens trust me. It happens everyday while i'm working.
