i went for a shoot this morning for Estee Lauder’s Earth Month campaign,
and i met Zainal Abidin! Hee hee.
Simone from Bobbi Brown did a great job with my make up,
looks very natural!
This is probably one of the RARE times i post a big fat picture of my face…
i’m wearing:
cape top; topshop
jeans; gap 1969
necklace; thomas sabo
bangles; thirtyfour
platforms; bimba & lola
ok this is a really horrible style shot (if you can even call it that!)
i mean look, my head’s next to a lion -_-
sorry at least i took something in between rushing today okay!
Clem said i look like a bat when i do that.
That made me do it more.
Just noticed that a tiny part of my leather sandals got chewed on by, what i suspect, is a tupai.
*shakes fist* Stick to your fruits and whatnuts!
i loveeee my thirtyfour bangles, i wear them EVERY DAY.
i bought the silver one for myself,
then Clem got me the bronze one for Valentine’s Day 
You’ve seen his front before, but have you seen his backside?
Something else that i’m currently wearing every day is my funny rabbit Bruno from Thomas Sabo.

Met up with Singapore Tourism Board peeps today,
and very excited to be going to Singapore more this year!
Also met up with Ken who doubles as my insurance agent once a year.
Paid my overdue insurance
and heard scary stuff like how much i get if i survive how long (wtf touch wood).
Rushing out to meet Rudy la Faber for some advice,
then the ex-Freeform girls!
I was telling Ming that i felt like going back to red hair –
“I think it makes me happier, like more energetic, y’know?”
He said DO IT.
“It could be a feng shui thing,”
and proceeded to tick off all these Chinese singers and actresses who were at their prime with red hair.
As a daughter who regularly receives feng shui tips from her father,
you don’t need to sell feng shui to me.

Went to try the food at G3 at Bangsar
cos Aps said it’s good
especially some choc volcano dessert
but we didn’t end up getting to that
The temp. was 41°C that day *whine*
I had the salt beef sandwich
First time i had one was that femes one on Brick Lane!
Salt beef is good.
But ox tongue is better.
Sparkling water absorbs into your body faster than still water.

We had coffee that day.
And i had to take a picture of such an historic moment between us i.e. there was no alcohol involved.
There are many things a woman wants her man to do.
Wash the dishes.
“Guess what my tattoo artist said?”
“What…” *senses trouble*
“I can’t get hard soap on my tattoo for 3 weeks, so I can’t do housework OR wash any dishes! So you have to do it.”
To NOT drive like an idiot.
“You know what i saw today?”
“What?”
“I was driving past our traffic light, and saw this IDIOT turn like he was racing, overtaking cars like as if 2 seconds faster is going to make a difference, and i was thinking to myself – what an idiot! – and then… i saw that idiot was YOU 
How embarrassing!”
Buy his mate a birthday present.
“What are you getting Matt?”
“Nothing.”
“How can you not get him something? He’s your friend!”
“We’re guys.”
“Still! If he didn’t help you get your job in Malaysia, you wouldn’t have come here and we wouldn’t have met!”
“Whoa whoa whoa!”
Cut his hair.
“Let me trim your chest hair…”
“NO.”
“Pleaseeee, it tickles my face, goes into my nose, and annoys me!”
“It’s my hair. And it makes me a man.”
“You’re already a man to me, my man. Just let me trim it pleaseeeeeeeee”
Care for his skin.
“You have so many lines on your face… *pokes and prods* for your age… y’know?” 
“It’s okay, i’ll survive.”
“But still! Look at the lines… it’ll just get worse if you don’t do something.”
I then pulled the skin at the sides of his face to stretch out the lines.
“imagines* “Wah you look so cute and young!”
“Stop it!”
“Maybe you could get botox in a few years.”
“No way i’m doing that. The men before me didn’t need it, and neither do i.”
“But already you look older for your age, and i look kinda younger for my age, so you look like a dirty old man going out with a young chick!”
I managed to get him to do facials with me.
“Come, i’ll put a facial on for you!”
“Hmm okay.”
*ten minutes later*
“HOW LONG MORE?!”
“It’s done it’s done *wipes it off* See? So smoothhhh! *plants kisses all over*”
Maybe all the going on i do about his face skin got to him,
cos i almost died when he used my expensive moisturizer.
Sorry, but it’s a girl thing…
skincare is so specific for certain types of skin,
and using something that’s particularly for my skin makes it seem a waste on his 
Plus, it’s weird to smell it on him instead of me.
Guys’ skin is generally thicker with higher collagen content,
which is GOOD news cos then it can look firmer for longer.
However, men tend to have oilier skin and sweat more,
plus the regular shaving tends to weaken the skin barrier.
I still want him to use skincare,
just not mine hee hee.
The one person who used to poke and prod my face the most, is my father!
He used to peer at my skin and say, “You ar, going out so much, sleeping so late, you’re going to get wrinkles before you’re 30!”
before chucking me some toner and moisturizer to use.
In turn, he’d also take toner from my room when he ran out, much to my amusement.
If my manly dad and brother can use skincare (plus my brother used to let me pick at his blackheads, gross i know, but oh so satisfying)
i don’t see why my bf can’t.
I would like my man to at least try to slow down aging as much as i do,
so we’d both have less wrinkles and lines as we age.
Just as how he likes me to look nice for him,
I’d like him to look nice for me too 
Luckily for him (and me), there’s a new skincare to be released in the market that’s specifically for men, and it’s not at an extortionate price.
I emailed the image (it’s Olay Men Solutions) to Clem and asked whether he’d use it,
and he replied that it looks ‘manly enough’
I asked my brother what he thought, seeing he buys more skincare than Clem.
“Whatchu think?”
“Packaging looks nice… nicer than others i see out there.”
Phew. This could be a solution to my problem!
We all know of Olay,
the brand has more than 5 decades of expertise in skin
so hooray that they’ve finally made a skincare range for men!
Olay Men Solutions targets at three skin issues males experience:
– oiliness
– roughness
– uneven skin tone
The key ingredient they use helps:
– reduce excess sebum
– increase hydration
– reduce yellowness and dark spots
– decrease spots and improve wrinkles
Best of all, it’s said to smell like a guy
I don’t think it’s weird to obsess about my man’s face, is it?
Do *you* obsess about your man’s facial skin?
Or anything else about him in particular?
I consider myself lucky cos i don’t have much to complain about Clem.
He’s clean, sensitive, considerate,
takes into account what i prefer him to wear,
stresses out about presents for me,
gets along fantastic with my friends,
and isn’t in any way flirtatious with other women.
There’s only one little thing – he doesn’t listen to me at random times.
I can be repeating to him where and what time an event we’re to go to/meet our friends.
And on the day before, he’d go, “You didn’t tell me!”
And i’ll be like, “You’re kidding right. I TOLD you twice, i even put the invite ON THE TABLE next to your keys, how can you say you don’t know!”
Then he’ll take advantage of my awesomely realistic dreams and say, “Maybe you DREAMT you told me, and you know how real your dreams are, then you thought you did.”
I used to pause for a moment in doubt,
before remembering VERY CLEARLY and indignantly it wasn’T a dream,
and that i DID.
Take advantage of my wonderful dreams!?
Hmph! 
Does your man listen to you?
How do you think men should talk or listen to you?
And guys, what do you have to say for yourself, huh!
