Jelly's 19th birthday part 1

.....................HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME~~~!............................

Hello everybodyyyy I'm finally writing this post. Nearly 2 weeks into my 19th year. Not too bad. This is probably the year I tell myself, "Man, I'm finally starting to live life."

Anyway, thank you all for everything. Love it!

A couple of days before my awesome day I received a video made by Andy. Thank you so much!

Kinda reluctant to link it here. Likea self-obsessed. HAHAA NOT FOR FAINT-HEARTED.


1 day before my special day, my family got me out for dinner at xi jia zhuang. We are forever eating at that place. The one near my place (block 111 Woodlands) is not nice! WHY YOU NO COOK NICE FOOD CHEF? T___T

Present

My sis got this for me~ So cute. 

BIRTHDAY CAKIEEEE

Moma got a cake for me but I didn't cut it ite. As always. Hahaaaa. It's okay! I'm happy already.

Kicked started the day by receiving tons of well-wishes blahblahblah. Thank you all! Gonna mention some people only ar! Okay 2 only. 

1. Received a track from smm at 12 sharp. OMG THIS GIRL REALLY NICE TO ME THIS YEAR.

Not the perfect birthday song but it really made me warm and fuzzy inside. Hellllllooooooo I'm so touched. *wipes tears, literally*

2. Received a very thoughtful note from lemon.
HEHEEE I WAS BLABBERING RANDOMLY A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND SHE REALLY SENT THE EXACT QUOTE TO ME.

*touched as well*
Aiya, though I wanted to hear this from my future husband but it's okay! ^^Y



My birthday was spent at Resorts World Sentosa with my favourite people from my company.
Yes, working but I enjoyed myself a lot. Was feeling a tad moody near the end of the day (probably too tired) but that day was still lovely!

First thing, celebration with my favourite people!

I looked wtfbbq-ish here

A very yummy cake #nomnomnom

Making wishes. The same, old few la. I need more ideas~

Present from the people!

Hehee love it to bits! School essential number 1, checked.

Next pleasant surprise is from my dear smm. She sort of came all the way to dhoby ghaut to give me something. :D

 

Yes, a duck.

HAHAAA THIS IS WTF-ISH BUT IT'S SO CUTE OF HER.

^^ OMGGGG I'm so happy I want to insert :) to every other sentence~

Had lunch at Soup Restaurant with the people and Iris cute daughter.
Food was good and satisfying.

Proceeded to Resorts World Sentosa to prepare for our event! After all the manual work, changed and went for yummy dinner at Chili's outside Universal Studio.

I WANNA GO USS LOR >:(

Anyway, food was fantastic especially the wrap thingy. Free refill of drinks btw!

I am damn amazed by the waitress there. Carrying 10kg or so tray and a stupid portable around with no sign of tiredness. Passionate staff and lovely environment.

Happy birthday JieLin!

Ended our dinner with a birthday brownie and song from Chili's! How sweet. Very yums but too sweet for my liking.

After food, started our job as a book distributor. Got to know 3 of Jess's uni friends. Really nice people. Can't wait for uni! I gonna meet all those nice peeps!

The whole event was a great success - people were carrying our coffee table book (is that what you call it?) all around #proudmoments. Cleared 1k over books. Did not waste all the hard work; printing, folding, in short operating like a mass production plant, shifting all the books around, sweating and aching.

After the event, Sharon drove me around in search of a cab. Ite she dropped me at one of the hotels. I still remember how chatty the cabbie was. He was going on and on and on likea machine gun. I was nice enough to chat with him hur. Actually all I wanna do is sleep.


That's how I spent my a special day.
Really special way to do it, no regrets.

Actually this post should be up in the evening but Idky I held the publishing time back. Now it is 42 mins passed 12 midnight. Oh well.

All the photos (with people inside) are taken by Jeff ^^

Part 1 done! Ready for part 2? :D

The start: DHC eyelash tonic

Ikr. An accidental shot but I thought it is quite nice to kick start my post.

As above, Today I'm noting the start of my 3 months regime. Yes, to grow some more lashes. I got the DHC eyelash tonic off the shelves today. Hardworking me immediately snapped the before picture for keep-sake.



This is a little different from the usual H/M. I will be updating weekly on my lashes and then write my H/M post after 3 months! *cross fingers lazy =/= me*


Some might feel my lashes ain't sparse. Yes, they look pretty thick and long but it is not.
It does look great with mascaras but my lashes are falling off at a scary rate.

Top down

Not exactly long

Bottom up

It might look quite full and all but from the front it is like...

WHERE IS THE LASHES?

I know this picture is a little blur but it sort of looks like this. I can't be bothered to take another picture.

I want longer, fuller upper lashes and bottom lashes.  If you don't know, I barely have lower lashes :(

And my goal is to skip the whole mascara thingy when I'm going to school and have some lower lashes for mascaras to cling on.

Thought for a while and decided to pick the lash tonic up to try. 3 more months to school, I thought it'd be a good time to start. Not forgetting the 15% off hahaaaaa! #cheapo

Stay tuned to week 1's update!

PS, birthday post part 1 tomorrow! Do check back! 

*pinky promise this time if not I'd shut down my space*

Mistakes are things to tell you: please learn through the hard way

I am glad I am no longer who I was.
All the years of hardship have officially made me a better person.

I accommodated others and learn to control my short temper.

:D but don't take it for granted and push the limits. I am not sure how strong my me-voice is yet haha!

My week so far

Hello! 

Pretty good week except for the crazily hot weather.

Met ShuQin on Friday for lunch. Took a tad longer than usual.

Knocked against the door knob wtf. I think I'm made of toufu. Bruised so easily? Now it's like one big patch of blue-black. #ugly

Lastly, accepted my course a few days back! 

Come to think of it, I'm not entirely sure how my life will turn out in the future, how it'd affect me by taking this course. Well, guess I just have to sit back and see. It will be damn fun right! All the uni stuff? :D

Slept without the air-con ytd. Big mistake. Woke up with a lot of scratch marks. Yawns hot environment makes me itch like mad. 

Lazed my Saturday away! Slept, woke up, had brunch, used com, napped, woke up, had dinner, TV all the way! Love lazy life. Minus the extremely hot weather but thank god for the rain in the late afternoon. 

Random #4

It is 10mins to 2. Just got on my comfy bed. Can imagine tmr's cui face and it is definitely making me cranky.

So why can't they do it then wtf. Haven't been pissed for a really long time, why do you wanna step on my tail hurhur?

Wouldn't be posting for a couple of days because I'm rushing something. Oh well, I try my best to write 1min of entertainment, hehee.


Before I get super pissed at everything, good night sleep tight gonna mask and enjoy my well-deserved quality sleeping time. Lol long sentence.

H/M: Misaki Contact Lens

I'm here! Finally! Haven't been writing posts nor reviews.
So in exchange, I'm going to write really a lot this week!




A little different from the usual beauty review, this post will be revolving around.. yes, contact lens.

And the brand I'll be touching on is...

Misaki Lens

Where: Made in Korea

Colour: Brown

Diameter: 14.2mm

Base curve: 8.6mm

Water content: 45%

Usage: 2 months

Price: $30

Where to get: FarEast Plaza B1

The colour - Brown

I have been eyeing on their lens every time I walked by. Finally decided to make my first purchase there! Their design is really similar to Geo/EOS/whatsoever lens online.



What I like about it:

The comfort level
Used the lens for about 4 times last week. Comfortable! 1 whole day with no signs of dry eyes. I thought it is really thin and all. I know it is still too early to judge this brand. I will continue to monitor and update this place if there's any changes. *cross fingers*


The effect
Comfort level is my number 1 priority when it comes to lens. Hate it if the lens sting/hurt/dry up my eyes like crazy. Not even talking about any possible eye infection. -_- The diameter of the lens if 14.2mm. Not a pair to give me barbie-looking eyes but I'm happy with what it does.

With flash

Without flash

I thought it was too overwhelming but people are telling me it looks ok! It does show up in flash, kinda creeps me out. BUT, it is really quite alright without flash. Not anything I cannot accept. Been loving natural colours aka black or dark dark brown lens. Sadly, they don't come with astig so normal clear lens is my daily companion.

The price

omgbbq the price of misaki lens is definitely affordable! Let's not compare with the lens from JB/online. $30 for 2 months equates to $15 per month! Almost as cheap as 

Maxi Eyes! (went to dig for the box because I forgot the brand). This is more comfortable than Maxi! What I don't like about it:



What I don't like about it:


The degree

Not totally what I don't like about it but what I don't like about coloured lens. NO ASTIG! :( At least not what I can find.


The design

Ironically, this falls under the thing I don't like about this pair of lens. The black rims are thicker than the usual Geo Angel series (very popular series). I understand the whole dolly-eyes-because-of-the-black-rim-thing. I find the thick rims make my eyes look smaller! Is it just me? Also, the dolly- ook is just not my cup of tea anymore. I'm converting to thinner rims/brown rims! So natural I wanna pass off as natural beauty #lol #likeasw

Don't mind me, really.


The choice

There isn't one thousand and one colours/designs to choose from. Not as attractive as some other brands, no?



The Verdict 

Up to now, I'm a happy user of Misaki lens.

Rating: 9/10
Repurchase: YES. Decided on the next pair to get already. 

Cinderella are you really that lucky?

Hello angels,

i really enjoyed myself yesterday. But in that 24hours, I cried thrice.
Mixed emotions and for 3 different reasons.

One for I saw how bliss I am, I saw how much some people love me. Two for I was reminded there'd be changes I don't want to face, because I just like it this way. Three for some other decisions I've made.

Birthdays are just a happy-sad event?
I'm glad I spent that day with really, my favourite people.
Will blog about that eventful day tomorrow. Fond memories, for always.

366 days being 18 year old

I supposed so..?

Anyway, time literally teleported. I can't believe I am going to welcome my 19th birthday in barely 1 hour's time.

I feel... Extremely calm.
There are a lot of people asking me out (I choose to believe so), planning this and that for me on my special day. Love it.

Looking back, 18 on the 18th. Once in a lifetime. I consider myself pretty lucky to say this. Imagine you are born on 3rd. 3 on the 3rd? Please, you wouldn't think it is anything special. 31 on the 31st? That is provided there is 31st in your month (imagine feb).

I mean, I'm not trying to bring anyone down. I just want to remind myself how fortunate I am. In many many ways.


So, the past 1 year.. Well, I would say it is the start of my life-changing year. In that 366 days, I made new friends, strengthened the bonds with those I can't live without, learned to appreciate people, especially my family, so much more, took things naturally, stopped relying on people for everything possible and opened myself up.

I had horrible and stressful days before A levels, studying and planning my future. Not that I've any goals in mind now.... :/ at least I am moving forward. My destination might not be clear as of now but I believe the fog will clear up soon.

The studying and really fond school memories occupied two-third of that year.

The rest of the one-third involved taking the scariest examinations, fearing for my future every single day, worked (and is still working) in a great place with awesome company. Really can't thank them for everything. They showered me with endless amount of care and love. Gonna thank god for every moment there. Learn a lot, changed - better and happier. The thought of leaving never fails to sadden me :(


(change topic before everything gets too sentimental).


I wrote enough for my friends, directly or indirectly. Every single person has impacted me in one way or another. I want to give credits to some people I barely mentioned here. Family.

I am really grateful. Like REALLY. From birth to now, they have tolerated probably 1 tonne worth of shit from me and have their hearts broken 1001 times.
I must be one of the reasons for the grey they have, the wrinkles that run across their faces, the tiredness in their eyes...
Disappoint them enough, I can't anymore, taking charge of my own life and making sure I'd live better and work harder.


Told ya it is the start of my life-changing year... I feel so different. I feel like I really do have a brain to think. For myself and the people around me. It'd get better, right?


To be honest, life is so good nowadays. Things in general are smooth-sailing, problems get their solutions and wishes come true. I secretly wish such (sheer) luck will continue. At the same time, I am constantly frightened because i don't want this chain of happiness to end.
害怕幸福会用完 (afraid id finish my doze of happiness).


Guess it's too early to worry. Read somewhere: worrying is like carrying an umbrella around in a sunny day, waiting for it to rain.



Today I had a birthday dinner celebration with my Fam, aunt gave me an ang Bao, mama got me a cake (which I haven't cut) and sist gave me a notebook. Very cute. Simple gestures like this <3 we are definitely not a bunch of expressive people but that doesn't mean we don't care for each other. I sincerely believe so.

Last 3 mins. This post too a tad longer. Sorry for any weird sentence structure/grammar. I'd check again when I have time.

To end everything off, thanks and happy birthday jielin. 19years old will be great. Happy birthday :3
