LA FEMME FATALE

9:53 AM

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

4:47 PM

ARGH.

The heat is sweltering today. Not just today, actually. Every day.

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.(:

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!

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!

someday i'm gonna rule the world.

11:45 PM

Someday when i rule the world

Gonna stand by you

Love you all i can

You're beautiful

The reason i believe

Dont give up on me

I'll make it wonderful

When I rule the world

But before that, it's okay to be alone.

l_ve is blind.

10:29 PM

When people say that love is blind, it doesn't only mean that you look past the flaws of the one you love. It doesn't only mean that you won't be bothered with his/her appearance. Well in the negative context it plainly means: Aiyoh she must be blind! There's nothing good about that guy lor! But there's more to that than meets the eye.

I think love makes us blind to many many things. And many many people around us. Maybe even people or things who are more worth our time.

Finding excuses and constantly deluding yourself is so last century. Aren't you tired of that already? I sure am.

I want to be able to see things clearly. From a third person's perspective. To put myself outside of the situation for awhile. But wait, is there really a situation? or is it all just in my head.

I think it's time to stop being blinded and start living for yourself.

I dug out this really old notebook in which i used to write about all my crushes. It was a unbearable to read. Can you imagine, i was 'in love' with this guy whom i've never even spoken to. we only communicated via sms.

and yes, i was 'in love'. aaahh. -cues soppy romantic music-

i mean.. WERT?!!?!?!??! How could I fall in love with someone I haven't even spoken to?? Being shy was not an excuse.

Those were the days. I guess a part of me is still like that now. Always dreaming of happily-ever-afters.

But it's really time to take that blindfold off. Just like loving somebody is a choice, not loving somebody is a choice too. Just like falling in love takes courage, falling out of love takes lots of gusto as well.

Sidenote:

I've always complained about being an open book. It's like, I'm no longer interesting anymore. People like mystery. And yet, i am, but an open book. I don't need people to pry. But today I realised that although i may be an open book, i can be deep. And there are layers you have to plough through before you can finally get to know what kind of a person i am. It just depends on whether you have the patience to get to the very last page of this open book.
