Cornucopia

A quick update here! I have the most unruly hair ever so I've recently paid a trip to the salon to relax and straighten my hair, wanted a more sleek and clean look without having to flat iron it myself everytime I want straight hair. In addition, I get to protect my hair from damage this way, so yay!

Moving on...

Drake feat. Rihanna - Take Care (Ukulele Cover)

Did a cover of Drake's song Take Care featuring Rihanna, the audio sucks big time so sorry about that, lol. I've been playing the uke for about 2 months now, still struggling to improve my strumming techniques. Well, practice makes perfect I guess! XOXO

Retro + New Gadget

I'm starting to dig this whole retro inspired hair and makeup.

BTW, I just bought a new phone, a Samsung Galaxy mini. I'm not a very tech-savvy person, which is why changing new phones is never a priority to me. I will only buy a new one when there's absolutely no other choice, which in this case, my previous phone broke and died. I guess I'm the kind of person that would rather spend money on clothes and accessories. lol

Anyway, I bought this phone as it was pretty affordable. It has all the basic features of a smart phone. 

Below are some sample pictures I took with the phone's camera:

Long Overdue

A while back, I won this necklace from Pop Champagne! Thank you so much Julie! The package actually arrived long ago, sitting in my bedroom back in my hometown, but I've only recently returned home from college. Thank you once again, you guys should totally check out her blog if you haven't already, she's a sweetheart with a huge sense of humor!

My nails of the day:

So my one-week study break starts next week, and my finals are immediately after. OH EM GEE, I AM SO NOT READY FOR FINALS!!!

On an entirely different note, I'm gonna go play laser tag with my friends from college on Friday. Never played laser tag before, I've only heard of the game because of Barney from How I Met Your Mother! Can't wait!!!

Blinded and Bare Face

Once upon a time, I woke up to find the morning light glaring radiantly through my bedroom window.

Took this opportunity to take some close-up shots without an inch of makeup on my face.

... ... ...

Nothing beats natural light.

Me and My Edible Elmo

Hey guys! We had a bake sale today to help raise funds for an old folks home in Puchong. We sold angry bird and sesame street cupcakes, but I don't really care for angry birds, they look, well... angry. My favorite, the Elmo cupcake! Our bestseller!The bake sale went really well, we sold all of them with time to spare! Most importantly, we raised a lot of profits for the old folks home!

PS. My TOEFL result is out! I got 111 out of 120. I expected less though since I totally screwed up the speaking section! Glad I exceeded 100!

Nervous Mode On:

At 9am tomorrow morning, I'll be sitting for one of the most grueling test I'll ever take, TOEFL (an English proficiency test that I need to take in order to study overseas). I'm so afraid of it because:

a) I'm a terrible impromptu speaker

b) The entire test is freakin' 4 hours long with only one 10-min break mid-way through

Hopefully I'll survive this ordeal! *fingers-crossed*

I Need Your Keen Eyes.

Hey guys! I decided to change my blog header into something that is more appropriate. By appropriate I mean updating my pictures. The pictures on my current blog header was taken a very long time ago. *notice my younger self* However, I still retained the same elements as my current header because they truly represent my personality!

Anyway, I came up with a few similar designs with only slight differences but I couldn't make up my mind, I really need your help!!!

Which one do you prefer?

1. This is the most basic one, the other headers share the same canvas as this. I like how minimal it is, not too cluttered.

2. I added a transparent picture of myself in the white open space to add a touch of serene-ness, this is my first choice initially but I'm scared that it might be a little claustrophobic.

3. Instead of the picture of myself, I used a transparent outline of the Eiffel tower instead to symbolize my longing for Paris!

PS. The chosen new header design will be a part of something exciting that is going to happen in this blog. Stay tuned!
