Partnership-

I have always envisioned my own life to be one of singlehood / partnership, never marriage.
I think the whole concept of getting married was ( maybe still is) uncalled for.
Yeah, the cliche "if you two trust and support each other you don't need a piece of paper to
validate all that."

But some naysayers might caution: "of course not!It's always better to have a form of protection
against yourself so that IF, and only if, anything happens, at least the financial aspect to
be settled doesn't turn ugly between the two of you. Also a form of legal protection."



My personal thoughts: I think it is a gross waste of money to spend on a wedding, be it a simple
or a lavish one. I always found better use for that sum of money; ie a house, investments, travelling,
or even saving up for future use. I have never appreciated the meaning of a wedding, because
to me it is like, a whole monkey show put up to entertain people you barely know.


And worse still, the couple, who paid for the wedding, also has to undergo the stress of
wedding preparations. (Wedding planners aside) So...it's as if you're paying to suffer.

Of course, the whole partnership arrangement does not always work out ideally, as there are
practical concerns to think about. Living in a country like Singapore, it is of course more
pragmatic to obtain a form of documentation for more housing choices and benefits. Assuming that
you aren't filthy rich enough to afford private property.


So...I guess sometimes ideals cannot be sufficient in satisfying certain desires. At the end
of the day there are still practical issues to think about, and you have to decide whether
the tradeoffs of your ideals are worth persisting for.



Makeup-

I'm running out of my Clinque 'Perfectly Real' liquid foundation, and also, this range has been
stopped. currently looking for another brand to replace my current one! Half of me wants to be lazy
and just buy Clinique foundation again, the other half is alternating between Laura Mercier, Bourjois,
Bobbi Brown.

I had a very bimbotic experience the other day.Come to think of it, I've had a few bimbotic
moments the past few days.

Last Friday I went out with Gan Ma to eat at PS Cafe and check out makeup counters!
I'd swatched several colours from the Clinique Chubby Stick range on my hand at Sephora,
and by the time I looked at the colours and decided which one I liked, I couldn't remember
which shade that was. LOL. Despite my frantic efforts to trace back the exact colour, I couldn't
 find the stick that was of that colour?! So weirdddd.


I'm gonna go back to any counter and try again, hurhurhur.

Also had my first look at Tom Ford lipsticks ever since they launched in Singapore! I must say
I'm quite impressed with the texture, and there was this shade I quite liked too. I think the shade
was called...'Pink something'....'Pink Dusk'??



Had my first experience with the Laura Mercier shadow stick, and I have to say, the pigmentation's REALLY good. the colour didn't budge on my hand until I used an oil based remover on it! So amazed.
I secretly quite liked their liquid foundation in Sunny Beige as well, and the service from the staff who attended to me was pretty good. ^.^

Only thing is, I forgot to go try out Bobbi Brown foundation ??? I'm muddle headed, I knowwww.


Just yesterday I was browsing on Amazon for makeup, and saw Laura Mercier foundation. Happily
(and wrongly) I clicked on 'Check Out', thinking that they still needed an SMS one time pin before my card would be charged....


But no. The invoice page came out next. I was so horrified hahaha. The foundation shade wasn't even right for me! Cancelled the order quickly, whew. *smacks self* The price on Amazon worked out to be the same as retail price at Tangs anyway...so might as well...buy it on the spot.


For those who do not already know, I have sworn off Facebook!! It felt weird for the first 2 days or so, cos I had a slight urge to open my FB app and browse....


But! I deactivated my account, moved my FB app to the (useless) Utilities folder on my iphone and tada! I forgot to think about FB pretty quickly. The app isn't even in visible sight.

I felt like Facebook was taking up a lot of my mental energy and space, cos every time I look at FB there'd be like lots of news feed to read, and so many people looking happy in their FB photos.

And the sadist in me just couldn't stand all this positivtiy going around, cos I believed there's so much you can be happy about. I am, however on Twitter , and i think that's the only social media platform that hasn't been spoilt by parents.
