An ex-boyfriend of mine believes that girls should never put on make up. In fact, every time I apply make up in his presence, he’ll say out loud in a disapproving tone, ‘Girls don’t look pretty in make up lah. Natural beauty best.’ And even when he doesn’t say anything about me, he would insinuate this point with other examples. The ironic thing is this person is obsessed with Korean popstars, all who look like this:
tell me which one of them doesn’t have make up on. Now there’s no denying that they are extremely gorgeous looking girls (the shallow attention seeking side of me wouldn’t mind looking the slightest bit like any of them) but their faces are covered in make up and he still thinks of them as goddesses. -.- If said ex boyfriend ever stumbles upon this, he’ll probably say that his goddesses look equally good, if not better, sans make-up. Maybe, maybe not. But that’s not my point.
Whenever the ex used to hint that I look horrible in make up, my self esteem took a plunge for the worse. I’m a teenage girl and this is the phase where we all start experimenting with ways to make ourselves look better. (Who dowan to look better lah?) I see all my friends slowly putting on eyeliner, blusher, lipstick one by one, and all of them to me look prettier after berdandan-ing. So I didn’t understand why even with the slightest bit of eyeliner on, I’d receive annoying I-think-you-look-horrible vibes from him.
I thought he was being terribly hypocritical and insensitive (actually I still think so), but the relationship has ended and his views no longer concern me. (THANK GOD) What I’ve learnt though, is that I shouldn’t let anyone define beauty for myself. Women generally put on make up to look better and feel better about themselves, so as long as I think I look good, that’s all that matters. *cue I am Beautiful, no matter what they say..
I’ve always wanted to talk about this but like I said, I’m the laziest person on the face of this planet, so no can do. LOL And also because said ex-boyfriend is on an insensitive rampage again today (about things I view MUCH more seriously and has nothing to do with cosmestics) I feel like being a mean person. Yes, sometimes I don’t want to be the better person, so eat that. :)
And since I’m already halfway blogging, might as well continue talking about boring stuff la so you can switch off your computer and go to sleep kthxgoodnitebye. Recently I’ve been going to Starbucks almost every day, it’s almost as if I’m addicted to the place. I even got myself a Starbucks card (eh everyone should go get one, trust me you’ll feel more privileged one!) and get this, I don’t even drink coffee. Yes I hate drinking coffee and I don’t consume one ounce of it unless I have to stay up late and need that caffeine boost. So, what do I drink in Starbucks? Ok Starbucks 101 guide for non-coffee lovers:
Green Tea latte K lah I think everyone knows what a green tea latte is, but it’s still a great cuppa! I’m getting bored of it though, because I drink it so much.
Black Tea Latte One of the more underrated drinks in Starbucks. Plain ole cuppa’ Morning Breakfast teabag with milk and froth, but it makes a fantastic study drink. Tried one for the first time today :)
Hot Chocolate You can choose from their Signature, Caramel or Hazelnut. I’ve tried the Signature and Hazelnut, and both are good, although they taste very similiar and the Signature is cheaper. #kiamsiap The drink is very very rich though, so perhaps avoid ordering on a full stomach.
Tazo Tea This is an imported bottled flavoured tea drink. (Omg I just used like 3 adjectives in the last sentence) Choose from Brambleberry, Mango, Peach (& other flavours if there are but I forgot) with a cup of ice. RM11+ for a bottle, but so darn good.
And of course there’s the frappucinos but I’m not a big fan of ice blended stuff. I think Starbucks should hire me as a promoter, because I’m the best person for the job #shameless. Kidding. Or not. ;) But yes, I mad LOVE studying there because the staff is friendly, the ambience is nice, the music is good and not the trashy kind you hear on radio everyday. My mother says she cannot afford my expensive atas needs anymore, so I’ll be willing to let anyone in on the best Starbucks outlet in exchange for a free drink! :p no seriously, my favourite Starbucks is the best ever. Already like my second home.
And of course, pictures (because everyone just likes to scroll down and see pictures I KNOW YOU ALL SO WELL).
Big picture of me first because I like it. :p
Chemistry notes!
Hahaha my dad is so cute. He saw this Angry Bird plush toy in my car, so when he won these bedroom slippers from his company’s annual dinner lucky draw he gave them to me! :)
Never even made concrete plans with these kawans but still bumped into them at my fav Starbucks outlet!
Embarassing things I do to de-stress from all the pre-exam stress. HEHE CAN GUESS WHAT IS THIS AH? I’m never telling. :p
My daily life in my second home !
K la tired already. Tomorrow I’m trying out a new Starbucks place that Baby Po said is pretty decent and quiet-looking (hopefully). Nighters! :)
p.s. sigh I missed a class party because of a family dinner. Now I’m hearing all these juicy stories about my classmates berbonding and getting wasted and I wasn’t there to join in the fun T_T
