WongFu Productions LIVE

Just caught WongFu Productions LIVE in Singapore last night!!

Still feels like a dream to me.

Even though it was only Wes and Phil that were on stage talking to us (Ted had some stuff to manage back at home, or "It will be the fall of WongFu....." hahaha) it was awesome.

Photos up soon, promise!

Ecotools


Anyone knows where else I can get the Ecotools retractable kabuki brush in Singapore? It retails at Watsons for $29.90 and I've seen it going for like $10 lesser on Smoochieez.com. Sad thing is, it's currently OOS and I really want to get this.

Should I just order from drugstore.com? With shipping and all its roughly $17SGD, still cheaper than Watsons! But the shipping's almost as much as the item itself. Why why why?!

Anyone?

After-paper IKEA Routine




Shermin and Alvin using my iPhone to Instagram.......


Our usual after-(very stressful/hard)paper IKEA routine. This time the paper being Econs, which I'm very glad is over but I have this gut feeling I'll fail it pretty badly because I went for the paper without any sleep. My mind went blank the moment I started writing, which is not fair because when studying with Geisel and Shermin before the paper I was regurgitating out everything like I had a memory card in my head with all the Econs-related stuff stored in.

Had a smaller spread this time since we normally shared our meals.

I had my favourite salmon! Thought it came in a set but NO. You can actually order it without their whole 'Surf-and-Turf' set meal which comes with this drink? And chicken, if I'm not wrong. Totally didn't need the drink since I love water and I just wanted to eat fish.

Got my Charles & Keith clutch at 10% off while walking around Anchorpoint mall! If you've seen my post a few weeks back there's this Instagram photo of 3 clutches, and I got myself the brown one as a gift from my mom.

Thank you momma!

By that time by lips were chipped - not to mention really dry - and hurt so bad that I bought myself a Mentholatum lip balm at Watsons. Was thinking about getting my Ecotools retractable kabuki brush but I didn't know it retailed at $29.90 at Watsons, is that the usual price?

Now I can't decide between the Ecotools brush or the one from the Body Shop which Becca got for about 5bucks cheaper. I'm not sure which one would be better.

We were all so tired that every time I closed my eyes I felt like I could fall asleep, which I almost did after lunch.

Thank God for cabs!

End of Year One




I'm finally free of school!

Submitted our last project of the school year with the rest of the class on Tuesday and had a major food feast thanks to Sam Nai (our video production module tutor) who bought us tons of food from the 1st Muslim stall in FC6, and Jessica, who bought us all cupcakes and this yummy soft chocolate cake.

Sadly, I can bake better chocolate cake.......

..FAKE.

But brownies, yes. My brownies are definitely better.

The next year - or a few months later, actually - marks the beginning of my stressful Media & Comm life, Ver. Year 2.0. Jeff Lightfoot's gonna be my junior in DMC! Can't wait to actually see what he's like in person.

(Let's just hope I pass my papers on the 22nd and 28th so that I can promote)

Waves16: Items






The items of Waves16 that I was in! The opening, Val + Jan + Khai's, AnAn's and the finale (I messed up on the first day's finale though, sorry Johnny I didn't walk out on time!)

Damn, I've got mixed feelings now.

gwendee on Instagram

One of my favourite shots from Waves16 of one of the items I was in.

Really missed the whole Waves thing a few days back, but right now? Not so much.

Swarmed with project after project, studies.. my own emotions aren't in check right now either. I feel so lost, so scared, so alone. I want to cry every moment and my heart beats real fast whenever I think about it and no, I'm not PMS-ing.

I blame myself for being weak, for being defensive. For being competitive and for being protective of myself because I never want to feel like how I did back then.

I blame myself for having such shitty, unacceptable attitude.

Tell me how to feel okay, how to feel normal?

Because right now that's far from how I feel.

Post-#Waves16 Syndrome


I can't believe Waves16 is finally over.

5-6 months of training.. all for the past 2 days. All worth it, really. So grateful to all the friends who came/bought tickets to come (but couldn't make it in the end). Got so many gifts from everyone at the end and it really made my day, can't help but to smile (okay no I actually want to cry tears of joy - AGAIN) when I think of everything and everyone that was there.

For all the people out there who still bother reading my blog.. embrace yourselves. There's gonna be a long-ass post coming up soon with loads of photos from Waves16.

You've been warned..........

Regrets

Was browsing through a few pictures in my Mac and stumbled across this.

Ugh regret not getting it. Was so prepared to spend................. (I forgot the amount but it wasn't cheap and shipping fees were yet to be included) on it. It was the only cardigan I ever looked at and all I thought was "This is love".

Anarchy Street please please PLEASE bring this back.
Pretty please? With a cherry on top?

And this clutch from Charles & Keith!

$67 at the outlet located at Clementi Mall. Wanted it so badly that it showed I guess so my mom was all "Okay get your cousin's discount card and I'll give it to you as a gift." Up till now I've not gotten the card, hope they still carry it!
