I don't understand why people still bother to keep up pretenses after such a long time.
I see your 'happy' pictures, shallow people, and I'm tired of the fake-ness of your words and actions.. or lack of.
Real friends or true friends are there forever, regardless of the distance and time spent apart. Circumstances and situations caused the distance and we are all mature enough to understand, forgive, and still be able to chill together when we need each other.
If you happen to feel that, maybe this post refers to you, then it most probably is. :)

Whitening my teeth
Been wanting to do it for ages but was waiting till my teeth were fully straightened before I did it but I wanted to look good for my wedding (who doesn't?) so I decided to do it one month earlier.
Okay it didn't go too well for me because I've got extremely sensitive teeth.
I guess every part of me is sensitive so I should have expected it but I NEVER expected it to hurt more than a freaking surgery!
I gave up after the first round (there are 3) so my dentist got me some toothpaste for sensitive teeth and tooth mousse to prepare me for the next two rounds.
I even had painkillers before we started, I can't imagine how bad it would have been otherwise. It's hurting even a few hours later.
-_____-
My dentist suggested injecting the gums before we start again and I said hell yeah why not!
I'd willingly take 4 jabs in my gums than this shit all over again. :(
Upset! This is the first time I've given up something because it was PAINFUL.
Okay I'm going to roll around on my bed now because it won't stop hurting.
It feels like I just got deep fillings in all my teeth all down to the back. Grr.
Oh, on the bright side, even with one round of treatment I can already see a huge difference!
I couldn't stop showing off to my mum while she was eating just now, lol.
*BIG GRIN*

Cafe Epicurious
After reading the rave reviews about their all-day breakfasts and affordability, I found out that they had an outlet near me at the Rail Mall and decided to give it a try....
MEGA FAIL.
Was pretty peckish so BF and me both decided to have the Full Monty sets.
I guess maybe I've been spoilt by hotel room service breakfast sets but this was definitely not worth the trip, time and money.
For $22 you get: toast, 3 eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, half a tomato, baked beans, orange juice and tea/coffee. Sounds pretty good right?
The eggs I had sunny-side up and BF had scrambled and were probably the only okay items in the set, and not even better than what I can produce in the kitchen myself (and I am no regular in there!).
His scrambled eggs were extremely normal and not salty enough, much like the fast food breakfast type except we were not given seasonings on the table.
My sunny-side ups were a little uncooked on the top (Salmonella anyone??) but I still ate it anyway because I was hungry.
Bacon was streaky bacon terribly cooked, not crispy at all, pretty flat and soggy. Some of it landed in the baked beans which I hate because I don't like my food to mix!
Sausages were terrible. Tasteless little pieces of things fried in too much oil..
Never had such terrible tasting sausages before in my life.
Mushrooms were tasteless and just... slightly charred without seasoning.
Grilled tomato was sour and unseasoned. I've had better even though tomatoes aren't my favourite but I've raved about some at other restaurants.
The baked beans were probably okay because you can't really screw up canned baked beans right?
The orange juice at least was freshly squeezed and reasonably nice but the tea was weak and tasteless.
----------------
You know sometimes service and ambience can sometimes rescue a place if their food wasn't so great?
Nada for Cafe Epicurious.
Ambience was terrible. It was okay when I got in at first then later on larger groups of people came in and it became squeezy and terribly noisy with uncontrolled kids shouting and making noise.
Service? I've seen other reviews that stated service was good.
Well in fact actually service was good... only initally.
I had intended to stay a little longer after my meal to relax (my intended time of stay was maybe 5-10 minutes) but I hadn't even finished my tea before some larger groups of customers needed some seats (there were other empty chairs around) and the staff started hassling us with the bill.
Anyway after the group with the kids came in and sat next to us I was already preparing to go.
It's just unfair that they serve families, groups and people older than us with more respect and give them better treatment.
Isn't my money of the same value as theirs?
I get this problem at most places in Singapore, not only at this food outlet so I'm pretty pissed off by now.
----------------
I finished off my meal with dessert at another restaurant nearby with MUCH better service and ambience.. The dessert wasn't too bad too.
Judge for yourself if you ever want to be tricked by reviewers and go there for a disappointing experience like me.

*lies flat on bed*
BF had an off day for our medical check up (there are so many!!) so we decided to head to the Science Center one last time before we leave.
I was foolishly thinking it would be quiet on a weekday but NOOOOO there were so many kidssssssssss OMG.
I noticed a pattern while walking around the place (last time I went there was 4 years ago so it wasn't too fun for me, plus kids' screechings were really annoying me)- the PRCs tend to just try to elbow us out of the way regardless of whether they are young or old, couples or families. WTF?
Come to our country still want to try to push us out in any way possible!
Definitely will not stand for it.
No matter how many Singaporeans they managed to push/nudge/ram out of the way I refused to budge for them, because everyone waits their turn, I waited mine, I was there first so they can bloody hell WAIT like everyone else!
-------------------------
Since I've been inactive like an inert gas since last year, the walk around SC took it's toll on me... In the later part I was whining already 'cos my legs were so tired!
So BF decided it's time to get my ass out for some exercise (AT LAST!!) and the next day after work he took me out for a jog.. Which turned out to be 70% walking but at least I'm aching today lol.
I need to get out more! :(

New addiction
Anyone who knew me in my secondary school days would have known that I was crazyyyyyy about earrings. I couldn't stop buying and in fact now I have a huge rack full of earrings (but don't wear anymore because I switched to non-costume jewellery a couple of years back).
Apart from my crazy make up purchasing recently, I've also been indulging myself in bags. *sigh*
I just can't seem to get myself to stop even though I still have quite a few completely untouched bags.
My room is freaking filling up with bags! I guess it's time to clear them out again..
Help?

Make-up Madness!!
The moment I was released from Hell (AKA exams), I had a meet-up with my godparents where we went for a little shopping and hit Sephora.
... And there the madness started.
I had initially only wanted to get 2 MAC lipsticks, brush cleaner and a glitter eyeshadow from Urban Decay.
THEN my godparents spotted a sign stating we'd get a free bag if we spent $180.
I added on a concealer from Too Faced and 2 pairs of UD eyelashes.
THEN my godparents saw the same sign stating we'd get a $40 voucher if we spent $240.
I added on a moisturiser and sleeping mask from LANIEGE.
--------
The next day: Bought a contouring and highlighting powder from Too Faced, using the $40 voucher.
--------
Following Sunday: Benefit blusher, 4 cleansing foams, Sephora blush brush
The next day: 2 MAC brushes (got the $40 voucher again), Sephora mask, Fekkai shampoo (using $40 voucher) (and a Kiehl's toner + Shu Uemura eye concealer)
--------
I'm still lacking: Stippling brush, foundation brush, stick concealer, face primer, body moisturiser.
Total spendage on make up + skincare: $700ish? WTF.
--------
*has been looking up DIY skincare products to avoid bombing out again*
:(
I can't wait to get to the US where I can get organic stuff to make DIY masks and also where I can get skincare/make up cheap off Amazon!
(Will be too far from town so free local delivery is WIN!)
