I just realised I'm actually very stressed from work. Like afraid of people overtaking me, afraid boss thinks that I cannot make it, afraid that I did not put in enough effort...
STRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mindset must change!!

Lessons in Life
I'm not so sure if its my age that's making me feel this way... but I do think that being 25, half a century old and a firm believer that I won't live past 40, I shouldn't be living life the way I am.
I have started work for 2 years in the same old company. I want to accomplish something. I do not want to always be a follower and do whatever people ask me to do. I should have more initiative to push things forward... do more studies on my own and have more ideas. Then I can improve my status in the company and also the way I view my contribution to the company. I think its time I should seriously think of how to contribute.
Apart from work, my personal life also lacks some drive. I'm not doing anything important. Neither am I earnestly learning anything. I guess I am only earnestly spending money. Its kind of frightening to know that despite the huge amount of cash I have to spend every month (its about 2k, mind you), I still overshoot it. It's really really scary. I almost lost track of what I actually bought. When you see the bills coming, I won't be surprised if I actually forgot what I paid for.
Following that frightening self discovery, I made a committment to save up properly. In the July/ August spending period, if I did not remember wrongly, I did not make any huge credit buys besides the Bioskin thingy. Apart from that, I guess it would be perhaps some meals and the RMK stuff and the Shinji Katoh collection which didn't fall into last period's payment. I could be wrong... but I hope I do get to save money this time round. I'm now in the August/ September spending period. So far I have only spent about $100 on a Tangs warehouse sale and have successfully evaded all shopping trips and temptations so far. Good job... and will hold on till month end. Then another 12 days to go!
I think... what I have learnt... is to make an effort to change what I don't like. I'll make more and more effort to make contributions to my job, curb my lousy habit of spending unnecessarily and also live life with a more positive attitude! If I try hard enough, who says I cannot make a difference!!
And I'm on my way to find out my ultimate goal in life. (thanks to my dear friend Kwan Ho who chatted with me on MSN)

My little thoughts about 2008 Beijing Olympics
Today Team Singapore Table Tennis Girls Team is going up against Team China and both are vying for the Gold medal! Wohoo at last a confirmed medal for Singapore after 48 yrs of bringing egg home. Although the whole team is made up of girls whom Singapore hired from China, nontheless they wear Singapore's polo tees and should Singapore win, its Singapore's flag and our Majullah Singapura that's going to be aired. I'm not so optimistic about them clinching the gold medal. I just hope that they don't lose too badly. However, if they do win, I'll be just as glad! Deep down inside, I do hope that in years to come, we have true blue Singaporeans who'll represent Singapore to clinch a medal in the Olympics. By then, I believe our whole nation will be super proud of them!! Yohoo!!
On my face and products
I don't know if this has anything to do with my blog name... but my face stayed pimplished, even till now. I'm really hoping that the Bioskin treatment can help me but I'm feeling kind of pessimestic. I'm not so sure if my weekday makeup routine has anything to do with the kind of face I have now. But going bare-faced to work is like killing myself. Red with pimples and the oil on my face... I think that's enough to make anyone who thought I looked at least cute to change their impression of me. Think they'll think I look like an auntie who just washed my face with oil.
At home I try to keep my face as no makeup as possible. I'll just let the oil run and maybe blot once or twice with my Fancl blotting paper.
Actually also not too sure what's the real reason of the breakout. Maybe its the MAC blusher or mineralised skinfinish (MSF) or anything MAC... or I didn't sleep enough and so my skin is protesting in a big way... or something else is clogging my face big time but I just didn't know it.
I recently bought RMK cleansing oil. The Biore one... I kind of think it cannot get off my face cleanly even after double cleansing with my Kanebo cleanser. Hence went to get the RMK one which supposedly has raves for being able to cleanse off easily without any oily residue. And how true it is. So kind of like it now. Think its up for keeps.
I also started using Ettusais "Acne Skin Version Up". It's kind of a softener that preps the skin for toner and moisturizer... It's supposed to prevent pimples. Not too sure how true it is. But anyway my skin is still clogged like mad.
For makeup, I kind of gave up on powders. Cos I think they do clog my pores. Hence I switched to RMK makeup. I bought the makeup base together with the liquid foundation. Both of they are quite watery and quite easy to blend. The liquid foundation is really quite liquid. However, its coverage is not that bad afterall. Concealers are of cos a must. I am still sticking to my Canmake one. I'm not sure if this clogs pores thou. Concealing power is not bad. And its not too expensive. Drugstore brand... hehe... Love drugstore brands with quality.
So far I'm not spotting the RMK makeup to clog my pores. I'm still checking it out and observing my skin's reaction to it. I really hope to find one that does no harm to my skin. I'm wondering if I can stop my search and declare that RMK is the one for my poor pimplish face. Its time it can face the world without those yucky red pimples and scars!!!

Jill Stuart Order
Heyo!
I went to order Jill Stuart stuff from a girl called Moonflower. Now to talk about my stuff!! Wohoo!
I bought:
1) LE Mix Blush Palette in Illuminance #101 (from cozycot missy_jessie) $75 (receving soon)
2) LE Mix Blush Palette in Illuminance #102 (from Moonflower) $69
3) LE Eyeshadlow in Illuminance #5 (flash veil) (from Moonflower)$77
4) Eyeshadow in Brillance #4 Gem Amethyst (from Moonflower)$77 (going to be discontinued)
Yah so my story is this... I bought items 2 to 4 from Moonflower [http://moonflowergal.livejournal.com/].
Yah add up together very expensive right... and I received my package from her today!! hehe... Opened it up and the items are really very very pretty, especially the LE blush. I didn't order #101 from her as I thought I could control my temptations. However, sucummbed to it le. Cos it looks so pretty... then since its LE and I intend to collect it... so I think maybe I should buy 2 to keep. Wanted initially to buy from Moonflower but I read somewhere that it is out of stock in Japan alreadty. Dunno how true it is but it sure takes a few days to get the items.
Instead of waiting again, decided to get from cozycotter missy_jessie who has #101. Think she bought one more but decided to sell it off. So buying this is more of to complete the Illuminance collection bah. Besides the lip gloss, I think I have every LE item for this Illuminance collection le!! Wohoo! I suppose pretty packaging makes a lotttt of difference... hehe.
Maybe if I got the mood, will take photos of all the JS items I bought this round and post. Heheh...
