SEAB’s officially announced it — results will be released this Friday! Urgh, the panic and fear runs through my veins… I really hope we’ll all do very well for the examinations and that everyone will be fine and well. (: Not intending to take a whole day leave on Friday because I’ll be flying overseas next week (still have a LOT of work to clear)… will proceed to VJC after my work then. It would be nice meeting everyone again though, at school.
Btw, speaking of overseas, I’m deliberating whether I should bring along my D700! Sure, it’s very heavy, but now with the 14-24 it’ll be a waste to not lug it along to take the scenery at Disneyland. Hrmmmmmmm. Anyway, if I bring it along this time round, I doubt there’ll be anyone who will be willing to carry it for me. -_- Meh. And I should take note of what to buy at Tokyo! Stuff like INSTANT NOODLES is a MUST! And of course, ultra cute soft toys… perhaps this time round I’ll look into getting some cosmetics too. Recently I’ve been watching a lot of Michelle Phan’s make-up tutorials and I’m totally stunned at how make-up can really make a difference to a person’s face. Now it’s time for me to stock up on those coloured contact lenses, One Day Acuvue Define lenses, and white eyeliner. Some of the videos that really interested me was the “Autumn Look” video and the “Bigger Brighter Eyes” video. I will try those one fine day! Perhaps at the end of this week or when I’m back from Japan, after having stocked up on zillions of cosmetic products muahahaha. But hmph, this will eat up a LOT of time.
Speaking of cosmetics, I bought this really interesting double eyelid glue from Japan three months ago and I’ve yet to figure out how to use it. It involves pasting a really thin strip of sticky tape onto your eyelid, followed by using a double eyelid shape thingy to poke your eyelids to the right position. I’m not sure what is the product’s name because I’ve already thrown away the packaging, but if anyone knows how to use it properly, do tell me! Double eyelid tape has zilch effect, and double eyelid glue isn’t very helpful at some times because it isn’t as strong as what I expect it to be… and hey, the idea of putting glue right above your eyes isn’t a very nice thought either.
Anyway, I spent a morning experimenting with an old idea which I had last year — taking photos of near-perfect reflections using my glass table. I bought some gerberas and a sunflower (my favourite!) to experiment with the previous weekend, and here’s a result of one of my shots:
Personally I think the reflection is awesome! While of course this is slightly digitally manipulated (I removed colours from the background by modding the hue/saturation attributes), I think the effect is brilliant. The pink is rich, followed by the green. All in all the $10 spent on the flowers was worth it! Well the flowers now sit around my dining table which brightens up the atmosphere there too.
Alrighty, I think that’s enough writing for today. German class later at 8.45am, followed by 4 hours of driving, so I think I better turn in early! Have a Good Night folks!
Ah well.
Recently I’ve been going on a tech-craze and it’s really bad! So has D apparently… which is quite devastating for our pockets. Meh.
