Remind me again why did I study so hard for Psychology 100 and not get an 80% for it . 

Having a 78% will always make you wanna bit up yourself cause an 80% will always sound better than a 78% even though the difference is just 2 marks . Thank god I did not get a 79% if not I'll be VERY annoyed . 

- Whatever , as long as it's above average -

The finals' timetable is out and it's scary .

Nouvelle vie.

Another good friend is leaving before I'm able to get myself transported back to the lil tiny island of Penang . 

*sigh . 

Suzanne Ooi , leaving for Sydney on the 7th of April . 

Hope to see you soon during Christmas , that's if I'm allowed the green light to fly back for Christmas. XD . 

Now , let's pray that Hennis Tung will head back to her motherland this summer and then we can have those crazy-fun sleepovers like we used to . Good ol' days . Poor chica , her laptop crashed and she can hardly go online.

Peel and heal.

Cold , freezing cold . 

The weather is dreadful , even without snow . 

The moisture in my skin is slowly being 'drained' off by the cold weather . 

The worst is my doctor's prescriptions of face creams are running really low . 

After all the tests' craps and bulls , I'm gonna head to Holts/Shoppers/Sephora to look for my perfect moisturizer . 

Any good recommendations ?

the 'MANE' catch

[ source : Google Image ]

Spotted this article in Yahoo! and I had 5 out of the 6 mistakes under my belt .

''awesome'' 

My brunette mane is a goner for sure .

Mistake #1: Brushing hair when it’s wet.

Why? Brushing wet hair could over-stretch it and cause it to break.

Instead, do: Use a wide-tooth comb to untangle wet locks starting at the ends and then working your way up to the scalp. 

Mistake #2: Blow-drying / straightening hair every day.

Why? The heat emitted from these tools can cause severe damage to your hair, and should be used as least often as possible. Don’t fry your strands by using them every day!

Instead, do: Try to learn to style your hair without altering it from its natural form: if you were born with stick straight hair, leave it that way sometimes. If you were born with beautiful curls, learn to love them and save the flat iron for use only once or twice a week. If you must blow-dry your hair, use the medium heat setting (as opposed to the high one).

Mistake #3: Using old brushes and combs.

Why? Although many people use the same brushes and combs for years, dents and imperfections in these could snag your strands, causing tangles, and unnecessary breakage. Plus, all the products you use on your hair leave build-up on your brush, which could take away from its shine and bounce if you keep using the same one for too long.

Instead, do: Change your brush and comb at least once or twice a year.

Mistake #4: Rubbing wet hair with a towel.

Why? Rubbing hair to get the water out of it can lead to frizzy hair, fly-aways, and can cause it to break. 

Instead, do: Gently squeeze the water out of your hair, pressing a towel onto it to absorb the excess water. Towels made of microfiber work best for this.

Mistake #5: Always tying your ponytail in the same place.

Why? Hair elastics pull on your strands (especially the kinds with a metal piece), causing snags and splits. Always tying your pony tail at the same height on your head can cause repeated damage to the same area.

Instead, do: Switch things up and go for a low pony today if you had a high one yesterday. Also, try to not tie your hair every day, and if you do, use hair elastics that don’t have a metal piece, or try a hair clip instead.

Mistake #6: Blow-drying hair when it’s dripping wet.

Why? It makes the drying process a lot longer, meaning your hair is also exposed to the heat for a longer period of time, causing more heat damage.

Instead, do: Leave your hair wrapped in a towel for 10 minutes, and let it air dry for another 10 before you whip out the blow-dryer and finish off the styling process.

Prints without prints.

Normally , when we think about the Italian brand Pucci , 

its flamboyant prints comes to mind rather instantly . 

However , it's not the case now if you see the bags editors and stylists coveting .

It had been 5 months since I had my last authentic Indian curry . 

Kevin's dad took us to this classical Indian restaurant [ KAMA ] at King Street West . 

It was AWESOME . 

C'mon , Indian food for the 1st time after 5 months of no masala , tandoori etc will always taste awesome .

Before that , we went up to CN tower . 2nd time around and it still looked rather same from above as the 1st ; except for the 1st time , the city was covered with snow . Honestly , I still prefer the view of Paris from the Eiffel Tower and Manhattan from the Empire State Building . But then again , there's no other city like NYC and Paris . They are like the crème de la crème of cities .

Fatherly Love

Extraordinary Measures staring Harrison Ford , Brendan Fraser & Keri Rusell .

Saw this movie at Scotiabank theatre today . 

Plot : 

Brendan Fraser plays John Crowley, a biotechnology executive whose two youngest children were afflicted with Pompe disease or acid maltase deficiency. Along with his wife Aileen (Keri Russell), he raises money for research scientist Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford), forming a company to develop a drug to save his children's lives.

[ wikipedia ] 

Honestly , I NEVER EVER thought that this movie would be good but it turned out rather decent . 

I mean , come on , Harrison Ford , his movies are always not up to the radar since Air Force One . 

Apparently , Extraodinary Measures is an emotional movie and Harrison Ford pulled it off . 

During the night , we watched Air Force One . Random , I know .

 A 1997 movie , VERY OLD but hey , I LOVE IT ! And I have no idea why .

Non-controversial ; compare & contrast .

Forward Forward is giving out a Alexander Wang Donna Hobo , and I'm not joking . Just found out from Fashion Toast . 

And believe me , it's much more gorgeous than the Alexander Wang Bianca Bag . Don't get me wrong , I spotted a Bianca Bag in Bergdorf , NYC and it was insanely gorgeous as well . Price tag : $725

The end of monday blues

January 18 , 2010

Blazer : Silence + Noise @ Urban Outfitters

Skirt : Kimchi Blue @ Urban Outfitters

Wedges : Vincci+

Top : THEORY 

Got the top from THEORY some time ago at a dirt cheap price tag from Winners . 

However , without any brilliant instincts , I threw the 100% vicose top into the washer and dryer , as opposed to being dry-washed . The end result was a killer , but I managed to make it look a little more decent than it turn out to be . Thank god for that . 

Economics lecture is now on the macro side , which happens to be a little less black and white . 

That made my monday blues  better , but with a class from 7pm-9pm , I was exhausted .

The intellectual black hole reeks of novels and parfum.

January 19 , 2010

An official opening ceremony to my soon-to-be rotten Zoe Heller's novel , The Believers which I had gotten last year . 

 It has been called a "cruelly clever new novel", "an observant and unsentimental family drama that pits rationalism against faith", " and simply "a brilliant, brilliant book".

Tod's Shade Tote

The bagsnob critics had raved over this bag , but seriously I find it kind of on the ugly side. 

I'm definitely not a big fan of its shades and shape . Yes , the Tod's brandname is on the minimalist side , but this 'it bag of the season' just does not cut it . Jil Sander's Origami Tote . 

Now that's what I called minimalist .

Movies on the go.

January 17 , 2009 

I had been watching a lot of Academy Award Winning Pictures lately , all thanks to the wonderful Megavideo or Novamov . As far as I could remember , I hadn't watch comedies in a cinema for quite a while , TILL NOW , I gave It's Complicated a go .

1.The Bucket List

2. A Beautiful Mind

Watch a short clip in Econs lecture and I decided to watch the full movie . 

3. Gladiator

4. The Queen

5. The Reader 

6. It's Complicated 

Utterly hilarious . Merryl Streep will always be the creme of the crop among the actors . She is such a versatile actress , she can do dramas , she can do comedies . No wonder she is always nominated for the annual Academy Awards . And then there's Steve Martin . His portrayal in The Father of The Bride 1 & 2 is unforgettable .

Peter Jackson's undoing .

 

The Lovely Bones . 

Directed by Peter Jackson . 

I did rather enjoy watching this movie , an emotions-filled drama , based on the 2002 bestselling novel by Alice Sebold .  The plot and screenplays were great , the cast were not too bad , but the ending killed the movie a little . I mean that freaking pedophile in the movie should be brought to justice , not just die due to an accident and the victim ( Susie Salmon)'s body wasn't found by her parents or the police force . It's just sad . 

Short Summary  :Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family - and her killer - from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
