Still alive

Just a simple post to show that I am still alive and kicking. I have just been really busy 

working for my Dad and my Aunt. Other then that, I am pretty much enjoying my summer break - recently travelled to Japan (IT WAS SO AMAZINGGGG!!! DYING TO GO BCK SOON!)

I will be travelling to Bangkok at the end of this month so I will probably update this space when I get bck from Bkk(: 

For now, here is a picture of a set of 3d nail art which I had done for me 3 weeks ago (more about it next time!)

Back from Berlin.

I got back from Berlin a couple of days ago and since then have been busy packing to move from Exeter to London. And for the first time, I missed the train and had to pay 39quid for a new ticket. I am still pretty irritated about it as it wasn't my fault for missing the train. The ticket machine refused to dispense the ticket and claimed that I didn't purchase when I clearly did!!

But anyhow, I am currently in London, living with my brother. I seriously can't wait to go back to Singapore as his place is really dirty (inconsiderate housemates) and we are sharing a bed that is only slightly bigger than a single >=( 

I will post up pictures from my trip to Berlin soon! I really enjoyed myself there and seriously can't wait to show you guys a little something I bought from Berlin :D 

Bye UK, hello Berlin!

Sorry for not completing my 14days nail art challenge. I was lacking in inspiration and didn't have much materials left. Anyway, I will not be posting anything till the 14th as I am going to Berlin tomorrow till 13th June!!!! Will share some nice pictures with you guys when I am back!

PS: I have been eating a lot since my brother came to visit me on the 6th! He helped me move my stuff into storage and celebrated my birthday with me :DDD
I am now 21 years old(:

Body Image? Confidence?

If you know me personally, you would know that I have a lot of issues with my body. I am not thin but neither am I obese. I am sort of in the middle? Maybe? Just quite meaty but definitely not obese. But my guy friends would always make fun of me and say stuff like I should consider slimming down (or they might drop hints every now and then).

I do not have a lot of confidence in myself and I am also not happy about my body. I am one of those girls who stares at pictures of other really skinny girls and wish I could be as thin as them. However, I have never took drastic measures to slim down. Just because I really love my food! But starting this year, I got really affected by such comments, and am taking tiny steps to achieving my ideal weight and size.

I am sick and tired of hearing others comment about my body or how fat I am compared to the other singaporean girls around. So I have started exercising (sort of) and watching what I eat and I hope I would stop gaining weight.

Since I am talking about my issues with my body, I thought I would just share something I read with you guys. Not too long ago, I read Fashionpirates' post on how she changed herself because what she saw in the mirror wasn't what she imagined herself to be and I admire her courage to do so. She made herself different because she didn't like the idea of normal because normal is really being an average person that does not take any chances, etc.

So what does this have to do with body image?
Well though I admire her courage to change, to take chances; and to a certain extent wish I could be like her, I still want to try to achieve that ideal body weight that I have in my head.

I do not want to be like some skinny bitch. I mean come on lets get real here; I love my food and I am not very sporty. but I would at least want to be less meaty than I am now, to increase my self-confidence. I want to be able to feel confident of myself and I don't think I can do that if I am not confident of my body.



Sorry, if any of this doesn't make sense to you. It might be me ranting but I am trying to make sense of what I want myself to be like.

Day 6 and 7 of Nail Art Challenge; #13 #14

Another attempt at leopard print nails. Not very sure how I feel about this but I think the previous multicolored leopard nails is prettier. 

This set of nails is for today. Its a really simple design, green polka dots on a grey base and the shape of mickey mouse head on my fourth finger. I am running out of ideas which explains this really simple design. Really got to crack my head for tomorrow's design. 

Day 5 of Nail Art Challenge; #12 Something Quirky?

Really sorry for the late post! I did do one set of nail art yesterday but was really dissatisfied with it. Thus, I didn't take a picture of it. This set that I did today is to replace yesterday's. The black strips aren't very neat but its the best I can do for now (till I get proper brushes). Do let me know what you think of this set!
