因爲近距離接觸中文已經有些時日，所以存在生疏的感覺也再所難免。
似乎每一年的那一天都必須感慨一番。
儀式一樣，悼念每一年比此刻更年幼的自己。
大肆慶祝、敲鑼打鼓。
或，靜悄悄地等著那天之後的十二點鐘聲響。
可能，有些人獨自落淚。
我沒什麽。
就看誰有心誰記得，做什麽去哪裏都好。
只要是誠心，我都接受。
生日是對於自己成長的檢討及驗收。
把那一天拿來結算自己成長的表現，期許未來，邁向那個更出色的自己。
這其中當然包括對於身邊人的總結。
我們越大越孤獨不因爲什麽，只是因爲我們都會變，而很多很多人變得速度和方向是無法想象的。
生活讓人疲乏，不再有實際利益的關係也就讓人無法投注精力，讓感情也難以維持、恆溫。
或許大家都沒錯。
可是想想還是會讓心裏生起寒意。
留不住的就讓它走。
一直賴在身邊的死朋友，就絕對不要讓他們走遠。
生日快樂，天天快樂。

The Burger Bar
Popped by The Burger Bar that had just opened a few months back, in Far East Plaza.
Tell me about being clueless.
I didn't know how to order and the staff had to guide me to the screens for that matter. anyways, the ordering process is easy to operate and you practically put together your own personalised burger!
From the patty to the buns, sauces, veggies, you can pick and choose to customise what you want to put into your mouth. it's clever like that. orders are clearer and service is more efficient. after all that pressing on the screen, just proceed for payment and then take a seat and wait for your food.
The interior of the shop was cute. i think everything on the walls were hand painted, okay maybe they had stencils but still, the pictures are cute. the lights were bright and perky, not glaring, it's a nice place to chill and eat some burgers and fries.
you can also help yourself to the sauces and bottles of vinegar placed on the counters.
MY ORDER SLIP:-
[cheeseburger]
honey oat bun
grilled chicken
Monterey jack cheese
shredded lettuce
pickles
smoked chipotle sauce
The waiting time wasn't short but not annoying exhausting. Anyway, it's understandable because there's only one man in the kitchen, cooking on the grill when I peeked in while making payment. don't judge, i'm just a curious kiddo.
looks great. the taste?
Love the meat, it's so juicy it flowed down my arm and dirtied the floor abit. (i'm sorry, guys at the burger bar!) it's thick and succulent and you can taste the freshness. the cheese was nice too, smooth and melty but not overpowering. i would have preferred more veggies though ): why no much veggies.
the sauce was okay, not very memorable, could have more of a punch. the bun is tanned haha. i think it's the ingredient they used that made the colour darker.
so here's the testament that the burger was really juicy, the liquids oozed out and penetrated the paper it was wrapped with. thinking back, i think i was much of a mess when i was consuming this burger. nahh not a pretty sight.
overall, do give it a try! i do think the meats are worth the while. drop by if you happen to be in town. aside from the buns being tanned, i honestly think it's not too bad. it's soft with a lot of air pockets within but i believe there're better buns out there, or maybe on the menu, those i didn't pick. I would prefer a sturdier bun, those springier and not so susceptible to be permeated by meat juices and sauce. you see, the honey oat bun became soaked when i was finishing this bun.
but not nasty. so visit them and try them for yourself (:
happy munching.

GEO xtra flower lotus (grey)
heya!
i've got my hands on geo lenses finally and it was certainly a pleasurable experience buying from this owner. pictures and details first, the rest we'll leave for later!
Water Content: 38%
Lifespan: ~1 year
This is a pair of comfortable lenses, easy to pop into your eyes and they stay with your irises as you look from left to right, up and down. good, so we don't end up looking like ghosts from horror flicks. yikes.
it is under strong sunlight that the grey colour shows. otherwise, it looks like a pair of dark blue/black lenses. i would have preferred the shade to be lighter so the pretty patterns can be seen. ohwells, it's okay. it's another kind of surprise when your friends observe the evolution of your eyes as the surroundings change.
hmm the lenses also defines the irises and make you look more awake/innocent/harmless/appealing (take your pick)!
it's been 3 or 4 months using the lenses. it's fairly comfortable. of course the level of comfort decreases over time, as all contact lenses wearers would know.
first, it's the shelf life diminishing after you open the vial.
next, it's the amount of work you put the lenses to work when you wear them, simply put, it's the kind of activities you do when you wear the lenses. if you put them for play, like for dates or clubbing for a few hours, then they will last longer. but if you put them on and slog hours after hours straining your eyes on the computer screens, then you know you're gonna get dry eyes and a shorter life for the lenses. oh! and also the number of days you wear them. the more days, the faster you have to bury them!
but still not the grey i'm looking for. hmm. nonetheless worth a try!
and do support softlensshop, their owner rocks socks. efficient and nice (:
if you're in Singapore, order through qoo10.
if not, no worries, they ship worldwide, so sms/email/whatsapp them through their website for prices and information!
and the main thing is, all the geo lenses are authentic (: ARWEEEESOMEEES.
oh and the delivery is lightning fast. it came the next day after i ordered, same when my brother ordered recently. hurray to rapid delivery service (:

on a side note, i don't personally have dry eyes but the lenses can get a little frisky after a month or 2, when i need to read or use my eyes more than often. but still bearable and in the safe zone.

being alone
i've been doing some cleaning up in my brain lately.
You know, spending some time alone, doing things and visiting places i wanted to go.
i felt like myself again, i am happy whenever this thought came through, inside of me.
it was difficult trying to accommodate everyone else. they are friends who i care about but i'm feeling the strain on myself lately. being alone is convenient and comfortable. i stop and linger in places i'm intrigued by and fly past like a sports car would, for places which don't appeal to me.
i hear myself breathing and listen to what comes to my mind. i see this world with only my eyes. play with children and smile at the beautiful things happening around me.
i enjoy my own company but i don't hate the company of others. most often, people get caught up in trivial matters like "what does he wants?" "oh would it be to her liking" and people waste away their life thinking these questions and not voicing out their own.
sometimes, i don't really get it. isn't it faster if everyone says what they want or don't want, instead of running around the bush, trying to understand what everyone else is thinking?
just say what you want, what you think and mean them.
what's the hard part about this?
spare me the bullshit and just say whatever.
if not, i'll thank you a million times if you can leave me and myself alone.
if someone's not happy with this big party, isn't better for the person to take off and lay on his/her old couch and down some booze. you get what i mean.
and being alone from time to time makes you realise who you really are isn't it? free from thoughts of your friends and family, and you'll learn your own personality. like leaving your shell and observing your own existence of being.
anyway, watched The Great Gatsby in the cinemas today. more about that after i get my hands on the original print.

salon vim @ 313 & l'oreal mythic oil rich oil review
it came to a point i had to do something about my neglected tresses.
everything started when i saw the promotion for haircare treatment at salon vim. i knew in my gut that i had to go for the treatment, it's 30% off. and it's salon vim! i saw many bloggers and commoners (hahahaha) having their hair coloured at this salon, and oh boy, i must say they have dandy hands and awesome skills. kickass hair that blows you away, some of the customers look like mermaids, some look like psychedelic rockstars. COOLIOS.
i had wanted my hair done in a dramatic way tooo. but it's too time consuming and money consuming and i can't deny the fact that i'm too lazyyyyyyy.
***if there are kind souls out there who are affiliated to some kickass salons that houses brilliant hairstylists who can deal with naturally wavy, frizzy and rebellious hair, and would like to be my sponsor, i would gladly oblige! ^^ i'm adventurous and i can try all kinds of styles! CONTACT ME, CALL ME, MAYBEEEEE. PRETTY PLEASE. i would help publicise 3456789987654 to everyone i know/asks me/through social media platforms. ***
anyway, i got the arimino privy treatment done on my hair, it's a new technique from Japan. yeaps i've been good and i listened when the girl there explained to me. it's a 3 step procedure and it leaves your hair smooth and frizz free. check out the picture on my instagram if you haven't.
the hairs are much more obedient now, i'm so glad i could drop a tear. Thank you salon vim and yellow-coloured hair stylist FIONAAAAA :D
gonna tame the hair and grow them. i think i overdyed and spoilt my hair ;( gonnna feed them well nowww.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO L'OREAL MYTHIC OIL!!!!!!!!!!
been hearing raving reviews about this miraculous hair oil. what better way to find out if it works or not? try it on myself, that's of course.
i snapped up a bottle of the rich oil one. apparently there's a few different kinds within the mythic oil, one for colour, and a milky lotion type and maybe some others, can't recall. but you can check them out at retail shops selling beauty products or salons that carry them.
i got mine at S$18.90 for a 125ml/4fl.oz bottle. pretty pocket-friendly.
Pretty packaging, rather mystical, maybe it's the pattern l'oreal uses. loving it so far.
gold bottle, with honey looking oil inside, loving it more.
i opened the bottle and took a whiff, it has an endearing, exquisite smell which is pleasant and pleasurable. not candy like, omg i hate those.
no parabens, good.
a lot of alcohols, okay.
a bunch of natural oils at the top of the list, awesome.
made in spain, muchos buenos!!! (i took level 1 spanish before heehee)
although it's a mythic OIL. OIL. OIL. okay, you get my point.
it isn't oily or greasy or a heavy product.
it's a clear, semi-watery oil.
lightweight and easy to spread.
just to compare, the pictures of hair before & after.
the great thing about this is, you can use it on both wet and dry hair. not like oils in the past which require you to apply them before the hair turns dry.
as you see, salon vim's treatment is awesome and so is my natural hair oil. (ahem i didn't wash my hair one day after the treatment) hair is darker and smoother.
the hair after applying the mythic oil stripped off some of the oil in the hair, it wasn't as smooth anymore but my hair did not revert to its crazy frizzy nature. luckily.
in general, the mythic oil is a product you can try out. my hair was pretty wavy and not messy wavy the next morning after i applied it. no more tangles and i'm happy. but i could be happily LAH.
gonna try the mythic oil treatment next. but i'll religiously use my rich oil for now and see if the benefits show overtime. more pictures then!

Review: St. Ives Apricot Scrub & Green Tea Cleanser
First up, St. Ives apricot scrub!
Honestly I've read much about this scrub being too strong for some on the internet. They said it caused their skin to break out seriously and it became a traumatic life event for them. it seems that they swore not to touch this tube again.
After using it for almost a month, i actually find it to be a friendly exfoliator. Contrary to what some said, this is quite a worthy product that provides enough abrasion, but not too much to the extent of hurting your skin. it smells nice as well and it leaves your skin feeling soft.

Not a bad product at all, I would say! Maybe the pain will come to people who have ultra sensitive skin? I don't know for sure because St. Ives products are gentle to me and all ingredients are natural so i guess they work well for me, at least!
The green tea cleanser from the same brand.
ooohhh i would just like to say it's been an enjoyable time washing my face with this. it has such a refreshing smell, not so much green tea, more like iced mint tea. it's gentle and mild and leaves your skin refreshed.
because it's not foam, or soap, you don't feel it tugging at your skin so much.
it's a liquidy-gel texture that will still lather up when water comes in contact.

Gotta love the cooling sensation that races through your skin!
it's amazing especially in the humid and sweltering weather in Singapore. TRY IT!

Oz the great and powerful.
caught this movie before it got cut at the local cinemas.
luckily i got complimentary tickets from dearest nuffnang for this show, or else i believe you can hear me bellow on and on as you read this post.
HMMMM this isn't exactly a lousy movie, i mean how can anything that has magic and witches and cute animals and talking toys suck. yes it is a fantastical theme but no, it didn't come through as a fantasy.
Parts of it were so slow and boring i could feel my sleep cycle setting in, while some other parts were too hastily dealt with, couldn't actually make up what happened in that scene.
Well there're still redeeming factors! the 3 witches are exceedingly beautiful women/actresses/people and they played their parts well enough. but i can't say the same for the male lead.
there were too much awkwardness and amateur-like execution, i felt myself exclaiming in disbelief several times. i can't exactly say what's wrong with it, but to summarise, it's just another american movie that doesn't make that much of an impression, or joke or story or technical brilliance.
it's MEH.
