Spent last Saturday night at Fort Canning with Grace, Albert and Andreas watching Ballet Under The Stars 2013, Giselle.

You see, I may not be a fantastic ballerina myself (so much for ten years of learning at De La Salle and Singapore Ballet Academy, really) but I really am very interested in ballet recitals. Though it has been years since I stopped dancing ballet, I still long for my pointe shoes and stockings.

No, to be honest I long for pretty pedicures more. Hahahaha.

Have you guys ever watched Black Swan? I thought that show was pretty realistic. It's the closest you can get to a glimpse into a real ballerina's life. Singapore's ballet circle isn't that competitive, but the stress is definitely there. The bleeding cuticles on the toes are also all true, fyi. I remember my secondary days in ballet class spent plastering each and every toe before putting on stockings, toe padding and pointe shoes. Never look at a ballerina's feet if you don't want nightmares lol.

Watching Ballet Under The Stars last Saturday once again made me rethink my decision to quit ballet in secondary four. How graceful Giselle danced.... sometimes I wonder how life would be different if I'd persevered with my ballet.

Anyway, no more reminiscing, here are some pictures! I managed to take a few before the sun set (which in turn rendered my iPhone useless). Photography is not allowed during the show, but I was sneaky heh heh.

Thankfully the weather was really nice in the evening despite raining the entire morning and afternoon, so that we could have our picnic.

By the end of the night, the guys were shouting "Giselle, I love you!" randomly, much to Grace and my chagrin. /boys.

It's really a show not to be missed.

I never knew I had so many friends who were born in the month of July. 

Until this year, that is. Because all my fellow 92-liners are turning 21 this year!

As we near the end of yet another month, I've collated pics from some of the birthday bashes I've attended this month. So be warned, it's gonna be a major picture spam ahead~

Zhiyi's birthday @ Changi's Treehouse Villas

Dear bestie, look at how we've changed over the years! 想当年的我们。。。maybe it's time to dig up our sec 2 pics hahaha <3

Shimin's birthday @ SAF Seaview Resorts

It was a very busy night for the birthday girl, but I managed a grab a hasty shot :)

Daddy's birthday @ Home

Well, it wasn't exactly a party, we just surprised him with cake. HAHAHA I love you aboji!

Mag's birthday suite @ Movenpick Hotel

Disclaimer: Although I took the most photos at Mag's party, it doesn't mean I love the rest any less. It just means that when 5 girls come together for a sleepover, iPhone, Samsung, and all cameras in the world come together to have a party as well ^^

Excuse the onslaught of act cute pictures, moving on

This is the Merlion outside our hotel at night, truly clean and green Singapore huh?

Bed time! (brush teeth also must camwhore, yes)

Goooooood morning~

Merlion is back to its usual colour hahaha

Off to USS!

그래 wolf 내가 wolf, awooooooo

Happy 21st all my lovelies! Oh, except Daddy dearest hehe (((but you're forever young in my heart))) x

I attended the Korean Tes Teu party at Dempsey last Saturday, and boy, did I fall head over heels in love with the products!

As we all should know very well by now (and if you don't, please see me), Korea heads the cosmetic and make-up wave, and the quality of products are always up there. Naturally, I was very excited to see what there was in store for me!

But first, let us take a look at the wonderful tarts and breads catered by Delifrance - let's take a deep breath and say yum together ~

Now that I'm done looking like a complete pig, let's head over to the real deal. BB creams and CC creams!

The main idea of the gathering at Dempsey was to introduce new brands of bb and cc creams from Korea that are not launched in Singapore yet. Guests have to vote on their phones for their favourite bb cream (out of a choice of 5) and cc cream (out of a choice of 2).

Step 1: Draw a line using eyeliner as a testing line

Step 2: Here comes the bb!

Step 3: Gently pat the bb cream into the skin, and see if it covers the "blemish" well.

Finally, put your hand into a box of styrofoam, and see which bb cream is the stickiest!

At the end of each voting round, we were all given free gifts!

Eyeshadow x lip gloss hehehe

With mom :)

Knowing me, even though I'm dead broke this month, I just HAD TO spend on some Korean products.

Eyelash enhancer from CELLABEL (which, after one week of nightly usage, did NOT make my eyelashes any longer, I am sorely disappointed because my $68 just went down the drain *sad*)

Powder sunblock from CELLABEL, and this is the best buy ever.

See, the thing with my skin is, it gets oily really quickly. Like I can just slap on makeup and walk out of my door, and my face starts to shine already. 

Highly infuriating.

On Sunday however, I came home screaming "this sunblock is a winner" to my family, who were unfortunately more interested in the telly.

Nevertheless, my dear readers, this is really a godsent product for those of you who have oily skin like me. Worth every single cent of my $88! 

I had matt skin the whole of this entire week at work, and mind you, my shoot was outdoors at Sentosa Cove.

The SPF 50+ sunblock is available at Nails D'vine at Dempsey, so what I'm saying is, go get it ^^

So here is my haul from the party - goodie bag x products that I purchased!

This picture quality turned out badly, and I really liked this photo!

Thanks for the invite Zacquine, I had a lovely time! ♡
