Today I finally caught the movie you're the apple of my eye.
Whoops I print screen it from my phone. Overall I find this movie very relatable. For every guy , there will always be a Shen Jia Yi that you have met once. For every girl , there will always be an instance in which a boy tired to chase you.
One thing that struck me in this movie is that the female lead, Shen Jia Yi , actually said that she wanted, Ke Teng , the male lead to chase after her , because during then it is magical , when you get together , the magic is all gone.
I agree with this statement, many times when someone chases you , is it magical , yet when you get together for a long time , you are comfortable and you are no longer impress with what the person do. Instead you use what
you deem is right or wrong to judge your partner.
For example , when you both are dating and the girl helps a stranger , you think she is kind. Yet when you are together , you find her actions stupid and naive. How sad is it that our perception changes once we are comfortable with someone else. I always wonder if the magic will come back again, but I doubt it .
Over all the movie is very good. The bottom line is , cherish what you have before it becomes what you used to have.

Hey everyone ,
Yesterday was the shiseido sales, which was at their office situated at orchard building , the one which H&M is at. Liying and I went to the sales to see what new makeup hauls we could get. I needed new foundation while Liying is a lipstick fanatic.
When we enter the sales area, there were tons of people squeezing like mad. It was crowded and insane. I literally had to squeeze in with all the other ladies at the sales. At first I was looking for ettusais foundation, I'm acquainted with the foundation due to my makeover challenge. So I wanted to get the refill pack. After that Liying went to look at lipstick while I browse around.
As I was browsing around, I saw tons of items such as blusher , eyeliner, mascara and lots of skin care products. I was so tempted to buy new products. Each time I pick up the item , I would have to think to myself if I need it , so as to prevent myself from rash buying. Each time I pick up something , I would think of how many more products I have at home that I have not used , and this would stop me from buying.
Later on I thought to myself " since I have so much makeup products , why don't I do a makeup review on each product I use". Eventually I put back the ettusais foundation , got a maquilage foundation instead, under Liying's support, while Liying bought a lipstick. By the time we paid and go , there was a long line of ladies queuing to get in. Thanks god I went earlier. I walked out of shiseido's office with new foundation from maquilage( I think that's how you spell it) and a brand new idea on what to blog. By the way I will try to the ettusais foundation eventually, I liked it the previous time I used it.

Hey everyone,
Most of my presentation are over. There is so much in my life now. So anyway I have started exploring my talents in different things.
I have started to do my own videos , who knows I might do a vlog and upload it in blog. No worries I will still be writing. Now I'm more into covers for songs. I think Raina and I will be doing " if i die young" by the band perry. Grace has agreed to help with the songs that require piano. Oh well quite excited to get all of us together, my new covers are posted on YouTube , just search Raeannmil.
The second thing I'm exploring is song writing. I saw ANTM cycle 17 and the girls were writing lyrics and I felt like , if they could do it , I can . I'm still kinda lost to what topic to write about.
The one thing that has been bugging me is my gifting and talent. I feel as if I don't have a gift because I may have ideas but I don't complete them. This is really horrible . Plus I don't really know what god wants me to do in my life. Many of the people around me know their calling and I feel like I'm still lost. I also feel like I have no talents, like just floating around and this gets me upset. It makes me feel like I'm useless. I really don't know what to do. A girl in cell group was sharing about how god has used her for the pass months and I look at her and I'm like wow " god if you can do this for her, what about me ". I just feel so left out.
I guess that's all for my update. To all out there who know your talent, use them . Cause some people here are dying to discover their talent .

So last saturday on the 21st of May, Ettusais had a makeover challenge, Co sponsored by Panansonic and Cleo. Well the thing is that I have never been to one of these makeover challenge, let alone participated in any public competition. These events seem to interest me but it is difficult to find people who would participate with me.However, this round, things seems different.
It all started back about a week ago , when I saw the advertorial post by Holly Jean, I thought that this event was pretty manageable, so maybe I should join in the name of fun. The next step was to decide who to call. I wanted to call Si Ying, because she studied in beauty school so I thought she could do a good job, but I knew she would not be free on a Saturday because of church. The next person I approach was Jean, who had professional training in make up. Jean agreed to the thing quickly, but our worry was for a model.
The both of us called many of our friends and ask, sadly we were all turn down. Jean and I were almost about to give up and forget about entering the competition, when Hui Le suggested his friend Phyllis. I knew Phyllis through Hui Le's clique outting and she was really into make up and fashion. So I just asked her, she agreed quickly and our team was formed.
After that, being silly me, I assume the theme was Parisian Chic, So Jean got inspiration from Gossip Girl's latest season( because they are filming in Paris). We took Blake Lively's look as our inspiration, twisted it into a versatile outfit and added a splash of colour onto it.
This was our inspirational photo.
This was our final look.
So after all the discussing about our " assigned" theme during Thursday and Friday. Saturday was finally here. Jean and I met at Somerset Control Station after that we met Phyllis at the Office of Ettusais. So we had to register our team and have a team name, we did even think of a team name before this , so Jean came up with Ooh La La, but she forgot one O , so our name end up as Oh La La.Oh and there were 13 teams for this event. After that we were sent to this waiting room. there we snap some before photos.
Thats me and Phyllis before the makeover, Pardon my look, I have a very bad photo day and I did not have any make up on.
Thats the before look.
So after that we were brief of the rules and we were moved to the make over room. Each table has approximately two teams, some had three teams, so we had to share the make up. So discuss about the presentation of ideas and what shade of make up to use. The good thing is that Phyllis uses Ettusais , so we did not spend too much time finding her shade of foundation.
Soon, we got to work, I helped a little with the makeup.
After all the make up , I did the hair. It was really fun to do hair because Panasonic is just such a darling,I use the Panasonic Multi styling straightener EH-HW51 to curl her hair and I must admit it is just so much more easier to use than a curling tong. Firstly we a Straightening tong ensures that every portion of the hair that has to be curl will be heated up. Unlike a curling tong when if you roll too much hair over, it will not curl everything. Secondly, Panasonic provide attachments onto the straightening tong, to give the effects of voluminous hair, big curls and even super straight hair. The attachments are just so fun to use and after using the Straightening tong, I decided that I would use a straightening tong to curl my hair instead.
Once an hour was up, We had to present our theme and ideas , all of us took turns talking about our parts and what kind of image we wanted to present. After the presentation, we had a mini photo taking with the photo booth. The photo was really bad for me, so I shall not post it up here.
After the Make over Challenge
When the judges announce the winners, we were shocked that we won, because frankly I would never imagine myself winning such a event. The funny thing was that Ooh La La mean surprise in French so I guess this was really a good surprise. Also it was all of our first time, so it was really unexpected. Overall I was really happy with our team and even if we did not win, I would have enjoy the event really well.
The prizes
Oh and I manage to catch a photo with my favourite blogger Holly Jean. She is really a cool lady. Both Phyllis and Jean know I am a big fan of hers.
So after the event, We decided , what better way to celebrate than to parade around orchard road with me hugging the prize haha. We finally settle down at mos burger and the feeling of winning finally seeped in. Well here are some pictures to prove how ecstatic we were, well I mean I was.
Ok I look like a cross between screaming and hungry
Still trying to show more ecstatic than crazy.
Now i just look Possessively happy,
This is Jean's version of surprise happy, I think she does a better job than me.
I had to hide how happy I was with these star faces
looks like I cant contain my happiness
Can you see how big my grin is
Jean is happy too
We open up the Present and I must say that Ettusais is so thoughtful to pack each different product in 3, so it would be easier to split three way.
See they are so awesome, everything is in three, even the bag.
Oh and I decided to be funny by coping the ribbon and tying it to my hair. This is under the just for laughs section.
Nice right my ribbon.
Anyway the day was really s blast and my whole team totally enjoyed it. Somehow I wanna thank god for making all this possible because everything just fell into place. A big thanks to Ettusais f0r allowing us to get creative by hosting a makeover challenge. A big thanks to Panasonic for having a really awesome Multi Hair Straightener EH-HW51 and they gave us free tooth brush. Also to Cleo for sponsoring this event. Overall everyone went home happy, with big BIG SMILES .

Ok people. I have been really busy with work and writing a new story. I need a cover for my story so as to entice people to read it. I think my story is too factual and not much emotions. Anyway I am bored and I am into uploading my work on the blog. So i guess I will upload some photos.
This is me at BFF ( Best fries forever). I had it with shelveen after our SMU open house. We tried the conventional cheese fries and it was awesome. So go try other favours which would be even better. BFF can be found at orchard cinelesiure basement, near frolick.
This was taken during Hui le's birthday, We went to try this Italian restaurant called Bruno Pizza bar. It has this pizza that has like vegetable on top, well that is their signature dish, so we gave it a shot. I am not too use to having veggies on top of my pizza , but it was a good change for that moment.
Now I am too tired to continue. I guess I just have to think of new stuff to blog about.
Love you
Rachel
