phew, everything's been such a mad rush this week since i've been back. yes! for those of you who haven't seen me (and the drastic change in my looks which i'll explain later) in school or wherever yet, I'M BACK!!! i've been constantly on the move the past 4 days, with school starting and catching up with friends, and then checking out the racks, photoshoot and now busy editing the photos to prepare for our new post! really hope to post it up by tomorrow.
anyway on me being back, i came back quite unexpectedly (especially for my parents). they asked me few weeks ago when i'd be back actually, to which i replied "end of the month". but, they didn't ask me exactly when! and so when they called up WY and asked him if i was going to be back on 31st, WY thought i lied to them so as to surprise them. so i did. they were kinda mad at me for not contacting them at all the days before i came back (because i was in Spain actually) but i guess the surprise really offset their anger! hehe it was kinda funny my mom didn't recognise me even when i was right at the doorstep.
today i went to Zamzam with Zhu and Bev to "drink" our favourite curry, shared stories on our exchange, gossiped a little and exchanged gifts. it feels like nothing much has changed, yet quietly i think we're a little more grown up and..i don't know, just a little different. in a good way of course. 5 months ain't so long, but it could do so much. After the very late lunch, we went for Ah Chew's dessert! Mango sago tasted too coconuty today, and the aloe vera strawberry wasn't very worth its price i thought. somehow food standards have dropped! Like, Jien and i met up to go for Sushitei in the evening and salmon sashimi tasted mushy. Hmmm.
mutton murtabak, meehoon-mee goreng and chicken briyani
mango sago with pomelo
posing with my car. hahaha joking. wanted to take a photo with MMTP's new manufactured piece
jien says i've acquired Germans' sense of humour, i.e. not funny. so don't mind me, i'm still trying to tune back. anyway i'm supposed to explain my hair. i love the hairstyle, cos the Aunty always does a good job with it, BUT she cheated me on the hair color. initially i chose this dark reddish brown, and she said (in chinese),"Aiyo girl, this one I tell you, not obvious one, cannot see. Must stand under sunlight then can see!" blahblahblah and i ended up choosing the lighter color being convinced that this was one lousy dye that shows up darker than it seems to be. and when it turned out this BRIGHT red i was very upset, and she said,"Aiyah nevermind, you wash a few more times it'll become brown already!"
"Must wash how many times?!?!"
"About one week can already!"
Sigh. i was soooo upset that i bought Revlon's dark brown dye to try and cover it up, but as you can see in the photos above......the dye sucks! Now I've gotta apply eyeliner to school everyday, so i don't look like an "ah lian" with shocking red hair. at least if i've some appropriate make up on, it looks like this IS the look i'm trying to achieve. hahaha i'm just trying to comfort myself. well, at least one person thinks it's cool.
i had MMTP photoshoot on Tuesday night with the best friend. it was damn fun! i mean a lot of the photos were quite rubbish...but as i was reviewing it today and yesterday, i couldn't stop laughing. shall share our totally ridiculous photos here.
the height difference always amuses me.
me: "oh look, tummy!"
kim: "WOW!"
me: "wth?"
kim: (as she says) *in the midst of rearranging her expression
