Beauty Box

It's so nice to laze around on a saturday afternoon (and blog...and facebook...)

Did I mention that I had my first makeover this year? Went with PY and it was quite fun! First time I put on fiery red lipsticks and do weird poses (now I know what the celebrities meant when they say that it's hard work behind the glam!).

And today I went for my convocation shot - I graduated with my MBA from NUS Business School in July 2009. And guess what! The makeup artists still remember me and my fiery red lips!

My first convocation was in 2002 when I graduated from the NTU School of Communication Studies. I still remember taking photos with my friends all around town. Now I still see many graduates doing the same thing around July/August period in singapore (it always bring a smile and fond memories of donning the gown and the mortar board for the very first time in our lives, after so many years of studies!)

This time, I naturally feel less excited. Well...it's not the first time...done it before already...and I'm old already :) Perhaps this is the law of dimishing marginal utility. And perhaps it's time to do something for the first soon and feel the thrill racing through your pulse once again.

Run

It's raining now - a cool end to a nice day. Met up with G for lunch and tea. Very relaxed way to spend a sunday, catching up with an old friend. We are going to Genting Highlands this coming weekend though. So there will be lots more opportunities to talk.

Received a surprise in the mailbox this week - a 2009 special edition newsletter of the Singapore Passion Run. And I was featured! Did not know the organiser actually took pictures of the runners and personalised the results for us this way. Very nice and cool!

It's my first 10KM run, so I'm naturally very excited about it (although I took quite a long time to complete the run, I am still very proud of myself! I mean, for a 30 year-old-to do this is incredible, right? :P)

I'm going to join the Great Eastern Run with my friend MQ in November and then the Standard Chartered Half Marathon in December. And I'm looking forward to running under 90 mins in November. Wish me luck!:)

LOMO Newbie

Golden-Half photos (my first roll of film!) in Singapore. I enjoyed the LOMO journey. Hope you will too :)

On my way to the pool at Redhill.
My friend G lives around the area.
Used to swim with her after work.


My neighbourhood. Cat was curious at the sight of Golden-Half.
And ah... the roads that never fail to take me home everyday.


My fave sandwiches from Orchard Road.
Think Tuna and Egg. Yumms!


Rainy day at Orchard.

Watching the world goes by.
Rain rain come again.


Plaza Singapura.
Value for money stuff at Daiso!
And Taxi!


My friend J brought Taxi to Singapore!
