Kristen Stewart (or Bella Swan, as we more affectionately relate to her as): the prettiest girl in Hollywood right now. at least i think so.
New Moon was horrible. but i think im madly in love with bella's face. gorgeous bone structure.

*dis-despairing.
today i yet again experienced the feeling of total despair.
you know, every day i walk out of my house with a great attitude, feeling the beautiful sunshine on my face.. (cues happy music which makes you want to bounce) but it's not so beautiful. there's a huge raincloud on my head every day. and every day just seems so bleak.
i wanted to rant about how today was one of the most horrid days of my life. and you know what's even more horrid? i realise i have experienced such horrid days before. which shows how goddamn unlucky i am.
i must have used 23,000 swear words inwardly today. as if using expletives would ameliorate anything. it just makes me feel uncouth and inadequate. (doesn't help that i'm learning about how women generally use less expletives than men, and women are more polite.. yada yada)
i had some acquaintances who dropped out of school or deferred a year from school because they were suffering from depression. and while i was walking home sobbing, i wondered, why couldn't i be like them? it wasn't because i didn't have enough negativity in me to do that. maybe i was more than just that.
i realised that, maybe i'm not the only unfortunate and unlucky person. maybe others who are even more unlucky than me keep their grouses to themselves. maybe they know that complaining doesn't change anything.
i thought this post would be a horrible and un-stomachable post for most of my friends who are tired of me talking about being sick and fed up of how unlucky i am, and how i have "given up" time and time again. but i guess i just dont possess the "give up" gene.
but i guess this post is quite empowering, at least for me.
okay back to studying linguistics. i just needed to get this out of my system. thanks for reading.

fluff.
while you weren't listening, all our love songs became sad songs.
--> from http://pleasefindthis.blogspot.com/
it's a fantabulous blog. the writer is faaaaaaaaaantastic. that's where i got my inspiration for my previous post. although he tends to dramatize things a bit too much sometimes, it's still heartwrenching to read. and the analogies he makes -- brilliant.
AB214 presentation afterthought: too much fluff. (tongtong, i just realised fluff rhymes with puff. get it?(:)
some people should really just practise what they preach. alright, but at least they're honest.

updates on fad diet: IT'S OFFICIALLY (ok half-officially) OVER!
when i went for dance class that day i almost fainted because of the lack of blood sugar. how awful was that. ): yup and so i rewarded myself with a cup of macdonalds strawberry milkshake afterwards :D :D (BEAMS)
and now im taking in carbs little by little. i dropped a couple of KGs under this diet but im pretty sure i'll gain it all back really soon.
oh well. even if imma fat cow, one day i'll get married.

The perfect disaster.
Sometimes, I wonder. When you look right past me and you walk right by me, does your heart quiver ever so slightly?
Because sometimes, no, everytime, when I see you, it feels like an earthquake inside.

Diets: Fab or fad?
Hello people, today Wensi shall share her dieting tips.
Okay, technically not tips. Cuz I'm not a successful dieter. We all know diets NEVER work. But that doesn't stop us from trying, does it. Under the influence of the great Sonia Mao who lost 2.5kg under this diet programme, I have decided to try it too. (PS: I am fully aware of all the side-effects of this diet. So please don't tell me stuff I already know)
And boy, is it HELL.
The Low-Carb Diet
Ahhh, yes. The famous low-carb diet. Almost like Atkin's diet where you are encouraged to consume less than 10g of carbohydrates per day. But seriously, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
unless you're like a carnivore who doesn't adore fried chicken (with the oh-so-sinful batter).
So, the LOW-carb diet is more practical.
Well basically for the past two days, i have been having incredible breakfasts. I'm not being sarcastic! i genuinely enjoy it!
Day #1 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, steamed octopus balls. (no salad dressing)
Day #2 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, capsicum, CHEESE TOFU.
The cheese tofu seriously made my day. (: Because i can't eat anything that's obviously high in carbohydrates (eg fries, rice, noodles), I have to plan my meals.
Day #1 lunch: Yong Tau Foo without noodles
Day #2 lunch: Soyabean milk from Mr Bean (without syrup)
HORRORS OF HORRORS. you should never ever ever drink soyabean milk without sugar. It tastes salty. =/ i don't know why. And the aftertaste is so horrible, you'll totally lose your appetite. so that's good for you.
Day #1 dinner: SHIHLIN CHICKEN OMGGGGGGG :D:D
Day #2 dinner: lettuce, toasted taiwan sausages, toasted chicken
and yes i convinced myself it was okay to have fried chicken every day. :D since it's all protein. (i blatantly ignore the batter outside. and the oil.)
Anyway I don't know how long this low-carb nonsense is gonna last. probably until i see some results. but i'm gonna eat MACDONALDS tml (minus the fries, change the drink to milk) so that i can have a shot at winning an ipod touch from the monopoly game. will some kind soul who sees this buy me an ipod touch instead? save me from the caloriesssssss! :D
Right now, i'm craving for:
IKEA MEATBALLS!
Potatoes, anyone? (:

LA FEMME FATALE
Hello people. I am so proud of myself because i lugged a 2+ kg (ok now that i've admitted it's only 2+ kg i don't feel so proud anymore but, anyhow,) dvd player from my house to the CAC room without taking a cab!
Why am I doing so? because I'm part of the Impresario 09/10 committee! It's your turn to shine. Muahah.
"What is Impresario?" you may ask. it's a nation-wide talent search competition! the 4 categories include vocal solo, vocal group, street dance and original composition. Visit www.cacimpresario.com to find out more (:
---
Okay enough of advertisements! Wensi will blog about a very important issue today. Sexuality! HAHA okay sorry, no it's not really that. Sorry to disappoint, guys.
I am going to blog about feminity! Ok it's actually because some guy said that i'm very 'man' that day. Because I play dota (or used to) and I watch soccer (WHEEEEEEE i watched liverpool massacre man-u YET again!! kudos to torres and Ngog although I think Ngog's goal was rather tyco. Albeit beautiful, no doubt.).
Okay so basically, there are certain steps i should take to become a more feminine person! The following is what i SHOULD do. Though not necessarily what i WILL do.
#1: Stop swearing!
The day I almost lost my netbook I swore like 50 times in a row. Aye it was a natural reflex okay. Tell me, who doesn't swear when they feel anxious/angry/horrified/helpless??? Okay fine, many people don't. So I shall not swear anymore. Mao i'm sure it's your influence on me HAHA you stop swearing too!!!! (starts pointing fingers)
#2: Only wear skirts to show that I'm a girl
Haha yeah I know it's quite dumb cuz girls can wear trousers/pants/jeans too. =/ Just a pathetic attempt to show people that imma girly girl.
Which btw I am! cuz i love pink, floral and frilly stuff. Okay minus the frilly part.
#3: Cover my mouth when i laugh
Wensi now: a girl who throws back her head without inhibitions when she laughs. Kinda like a dimsum dolly. 'Nuff said.
#4: ALWAYS wear perfume
And make sure it's the fruity floral scent!
Okay i give up. HAHA. This is just so not my thing.
----------------------
all those material things ; they don't matter. Why did I just realise?

Tips to whiten your skin
ARGH.
The heat is sweltering today. Not just today, actually. Every day.
Okay fine, I am naturally fair, but I get tanned SUPER easily. Just by walking under the sun for 10 minutes. But there are certain things (or you may call them superstitions) i swear by. So i'm gonna share them with you!
That's why, today while i was ninja-ing around trying to get into the shade and out of the murderous sun rays, I had a sudden stroke of inspiration to write this post.
As I am sitting in a corner of the Al-fresco Starbucks at Plaza Singapura, sipping on my mocha frappucino that has been reduced to ultra diluted coffee by the heat outside, I will write a post about how to be fair and STAY that way.(:

Disclaimer: Google was not involved in the making of this entry. The following is purely based on my own experience and the wisdom i have gained over the years of reading beauty articles.
Wensi's Top Whitening Tips
#1: Watch what you eat!
How you look on the outside is determined by what you ingest, whether you like it or not. Avoid dark coloured foods and don't eat vegetables/fruits like carrots and papayas! (There's a reason why tanning oil is made from carrot extract.)
Stay away from soya sauce and only consume "steamed chicken" instead of "roast chicken" when you order chicken rice. Yes, call me superstitious! (:
#2: Watch what you drink!
Don't drink coke. Okay fine this is my personal bias. But it is true that Coke makes your teeth yellow. alright i'm digressing. it doesn't have anything to do with your skin. but hey, who doesn't like WHITE teeth too?
Drink more light coloured fluids such as milk and barley. These two drinks are proven to make your skin fairer! I swear by this.

#3: Don't go under the sun without protection
ALWAYS always apply sunblock. Although I am really guilty of not practising what I preach. Also, it's not about how high the SPF of your sunblock is. It's about how much sunblock you use! Sunblock is especially important when you wear light-coloured clothing. (Yes UV rays penetrate your clothing. No kidding.)
#4: Load up on Vitamin C!
Take at least 500mg of vitamin C a day. Not only does it boost your immune system, it makes your skin fairer too. Lightens your acne scars. Alternatively, if you can't stand the artificial taste of redoxen, include fruits like blackberries/mulberries/ACAI BERRIES HAHA/citrus fruits/dark chocolate into your daily diet to give your body the dose of anti-oxidants it requires.
#5: (Oversized) Shades are your best friend.
Oversized sunglasses not only make a fashion statement, they protect your eyes (and the skin around your eyes) from the scorching sun! Wearing oversized sunglasses can also prevent wrinkles from forming around the delicate eye area.

#6: Whitening skincare
Whenever you get skincare or makeup, be sure to get products which claim to WHITEN. If you're on a budget, Hazeline Snow Whitening (the green one) will do just fine. I especially adore Nivea Whitening Lotion (night) although i'm always SOOO lazy to apply it.
Whitening BB Cream is good too. because it serves as foundation, sunblock and whitening skincare! Today I just bought a whitening bath foam. Yes, call me kiasu.
#7: Exfoliate!!!
Exfoliation is important to remove the dull dead skin we have and reveal the glowing, supple skin underneath! -cues oohs and aaahs- (okay in theory, yes.) And that's what i tell myself when i exfoliate my skin. It's a placebo effect i guess. And that's what I'm gonna do when I go to Pattaya during the December hols. While my class is suntanning on the beach, I will visit the spa to exfoliate until all my skin drops off. :D
I recommend this daily morning pineapple peel from Skinfood or the exfoliating gel from Bio-essence. SHIOK when you see all your dead skin coming off.
Alright this pretty much sums up my top tips for whitening. I will continue expanding this list when I have found other whitening methods :P
Let's say hello to fair, glowing skin!
