YOONA MAKEUP TUTORIAL

If this (above) rings the bell, you are probably guessing it right. It is a Yoona editorial inspired photograph. Never mind that I took helluva time making tweaks to the colors of this home-shot photo, my trusty laptop has been acting weird these days.

Yoona of Girls Generation (or SNSD) is hitherto, the sweetheart of the media. Ann has been known amongst our friends since young to have a slight resemblance (slight is the keyword here, darling) to Yoona and she finally came around to film a Yoona-inspired makeup tutorial.

The plethora of makeup techniques has evolved dramatically ever since God knows. Slabbing on layers after layers of pasty foundation is no easy feat. but women - in the name of beauty - has came a long way in mastering their war paint. After all, vanity has its cost isn't it!

For the lazy and curious, here is the direct link to Ann's version of her Yoona inspired makeup tutorial.

HAPPY DAYS

Hola, blogosphere! As I am wondering in disbelief, here we are into the second week of September. Time really does fly. The scandalous haze is Singapore right now is horrible, and I miss the clear blue skies so much. Why scandalous, you'd ask. Ah hahaha, google Singapore-Indonesia haze and boom, there you go. In such situations, stray animals and wildlife suffer the most. I can't bring myself to imagine how stray dogs and cats have to make do in such harsh conditions when the immunity of man could not even withstand the horrid air quality. Alas, just when you've decided to give your two cents worth on politics, spare a thought on these helpless poor little lives. 

Speaking of which, I once overheard how a random someone in a restaurant -who also purported to be a wise and pious- confidently asserted that animals have no souls and thus feel no pain. My mom and I almost had our jaws dropped off, lol. 

In other news, these photos were taken almost three to four months ago with Ann's bestie, Molly. It was definitely a good lunch buffet with Molly and my family (why am I talking about food at this unearthly hour). A strong friendship/relationship/kinship isn't forged over material and money. Sincerity triumphs it all. 

Have a happy mid week!

HELLO, SEPTEMBER

DRESS ZARA / SHOES HUSH PUPPIES / BRACELET TIFFANY & CO (if you could ever see it, lol) 

It's already September! In all honesty, I can't bring myself to pace up with the merciless passing of time this year. Nevertheless, last Saturday was definitely an enjoyable one for Ann and I because we got to see JJ Lin in live! He's a Singaporean Mandopop singer-songwriter, if you don't already know. As fellow Singaporeans, it definitely felt like home to be in JJ's concert. Those familiar tunes and accent surely did made everyone feel good. I love how he's so humble and genuine despite the amount of success he has attained. 

Before I get carried away, yes, this is another outfit post that is long overdue. The entrance of September also signals the transition of season from summer to fall. The last couple of weeks have seen cooler days in Singapore. Alas, the unfortunate PSI has skyrocketed in the recent days. No thanks to the haze, though. This shirt dress from Zara got me at hello but the material definitely needs to be soften through a few washes. I guess it's the linen in it that was uncomfortable and warm, at least during Singapore's most humid month. 

Ann and I hope to film and shoot more content in the coming months and do stay tune! Do check out our Youtube channel here, or even follow us on Instagram for more daily updates.

DIOR

Ever had the urge to fish out your cellphone to take a few snaps of the beautifully curated interior of Dior boutiques? Well, that's me. In a perfect world, you could do whatever you want. I guess ethics plays a significant role here, too. Photography is just prohibited on several levels in specific places. Alas, i'm fortunate enough to have the opportunity to photograph (the legit way) the boutique of Dior @ Orchard Ion. It was a rather impromptu one, hence the poor setup for photographing Ann in that oh-so-gorgeous princess dress. On hindsight, I really should have brought a faster lens and a speed light. Anyway on the brighter side, I managed to photograph this mesmerising boutique for the very first and last time before it gets renovated. Thank you Dior @ Ion!
