hiie guys, im sorry i took a sudden hiatus of 6 days as i was away for my youth conference ( camp/ Intensive Bible study camp). It was fabulous, in truth, though my wanting to go for camp was really abrupt as i was really not planning to attend camp, it is the most meaningful youth conference for me. I have had this heavy luggage on my chest whereby i do not know where's is the church for me, i had been blinded real bad that i did not know what do i really want in a church. When i went to City harvest, i really thought it's because i wanted to have a spiritual family, however, how could so much time be placed on worshipping and the message wasn't deep and powerful at all. I couldn't take down notes because i did not find them relevant to how i can apply God's word in my life.
i confessed to my batch mate at Bethany that i was being stupid that all this while, my childhood church, where the love for God was placed for me.... it has been my church all this while. It was just that i got confused as i went through secondary school life that wasn't many of my batch mates, which made me drift away even more... Im really ever grateful to my teacher and Pastor for being there for me and persuading to go back on track
these are just my thoughts peeps...so really...what do you want in a church or rather how do you want to live your christian life? i was taught that while service to the Lord is very important, we must not forget the scripture as we use it as the 'Sword of Truth' to offend/defend whatever satan throws at us....One very evident way is vias....false teachings. my eyes got opened after going through so much. What do you guys want? just the highness from the worship and when you go back to reality its poof, back to the same old you?
i dont want that....i really do, and im gonna make a difference this time....watch me grow
anyways....that aside..1 thing to be really joyful about. Bf's willing to convert into Christianity, im like THANK YOU GOD! cause the whole time in camp i was worried about this matter cause basically, it's really hard to keep a relationship with a non-christian and dad really dont want that to happen to me...so yes...my prayer got answered. Let's see where this will lead to. I mean, how many boyfriends are willing to even convict themselves just so, they'll get to understand you better or stuff? For mine, it was to gain acceptance from dad. However, i do hope that he will one day come to know my God whom i love so dearly as well. (i'll go into more in depth on the second part)

Bad hair...frizzy hair, course hair, untamed? it's advised to have a hair treatment every once in awhile is beneficial as due to the urban environment, our hair tends to get unhealthy as the dust,air borne chemicals, moisture, etc are often out to ruin our hair :{!
Hence, once awhile, i'd get my hair treated to ensure it'll grow smoothly, this mainly because back in sec 2, i got my hair cut with RAZOR SCISSORS which was like a totally big mistake as it had absolutely damaged my hair. Before i went thru that horrendous episode, i do have long black jet straight hair that i had inherited from mommy. Why is razor scissors and layering hair bad? it actually splits the cuticle of the hair which actually then cause the fizzy effect. Hence i hate razor scissors and too much thinning of the hair
layering because, mainly we do not know how to actually look after layered hair, it's not all simple either and a simple rebound will not magically heal ruined layered hair, cause it will return to its original form.
Therefore, i stick to the 1 straight line across at the bottom of the hair.(classic). I go for treatment because it will actually force the cuticles open and make the hair absorb all the nutrients from the treatment without damaging the hair...it's basically like a health boast for hair (of course._.) i dunno whys i even typed that through. Mom brings me to Hair Journal right next to Aljunied's MAC :} After how many saloons etc that i go to, i only prefer this hair stylist, her name's Ting Ting. I was unable to take photo of her face through :{ i went for an intensive scalp and hair treatment to get rid of bacteria on my scalp as well as to really force nutrients into my hair.... total's like $158 but really worth it! Surplus that there was a xmas promotion of 30% if not i have no idea how much it would really cost.
first thing was: scalp treatment, basically a cream that brushed onto the scalp that cause a minty feel which should last for 10mins as the cream is meant to kill the bacteria and other harmful stuff in your hair.
after a wash, came the hair treatment, unfortunately, my phone died on me and when someone finally loaned me a portable charger, i was already done with it. However, i managed to take photo of the scalp purifying process that comes after both treatments ( it comes from france yo XD)
process uses cold mist.
after which, when all was done, Ting Ting actually teaches me how to blow dry my hair and how to maintain my hair whilst shampooing and conditioning, i have not seen a hair saloon that actually bothers to give a short tutorial and a frenly co-worker who'd lend you his iphone portable charger:} its my definite come backs all the time , what more does Ting Ting knows what's more suitable for both your hair and face ♥
tada~~~ tempo curls with just hair dryer and look how gentle and soft it looks. Totally caught my bookmark on this hair stylist and saloon :}
okie next, mommy brought me to get my eye brows done after my first day of work, initially we were intending to get our brows done at tampines for less than $5 till we chanced upon this elegant tiny shop in bedok point that does facial beauty(NOT A SALOON), one of which involves eye brow shaping.
This is professional's expertise is that she would identify your face shape and shape your eyebrows according to what actually pairs with your face shape. She uses plucking albeit and it is not a nice feeling if you seldom shape your eye brows like me._. i teared you know:I The lady told me it's because i dont even /dont often pluck my eyebrow hairs which means they are firmly rooted._. ouch (T^T)!!! The ambiance of the place is really....how can i say? womanly? a light touch of english mixtured with Japanese i dunnoe? sense of larvish? thats my opinion larh, you be your own judge
if you cant see, the chart is the different types of facial shapes and the one with the vintage post sign is 2 awards which the shop has won..Razor Spa 2011 and Beauty awards 2010
the assistant served a adorable minuet teacup of red date tea (gorgeous! it wasnt too sweet nor did it have a bitter taste to it!)
the lady doing mommy's eye brows first, which took about 10-15mins?
for peeps who cant tell, she's wearing some japanese ethic costume, her assistant does as well, just that it's not as colour-coded. its grayish white.
finally, the fill-up form. you have to sign your name on a part that will \represent your eye brows. i forgot to ask whys through.
Oh guys, i'd like to show you 2 more items that i grabbed before i went for camp. Basically, since i'll be in air-conditioned environment almost the whole time, skin and lips will be more vulnerable to dehydration and hence i quickly went to pick up a lip bam
it's a newly lanched product from lip ice ($7.60) and since lip ice is my bias brand for lip care, i decided to give it a try. I must say that it never failed to provide moisture. The one thing that stands out is that it'll will cause your lips to change into a shade of pink which is unique to your lips, however, the colour of the lip bam is white
hence, it will change colour upon skin contact.
another product which i did promised to do a short review about is Bio Essence's Acne/pimple gel
at a pricing of 19.90, i found it of worth to pimples that are serious. It is able to shrink and fortunately dry pimples with whiteheads, therefore i found it's worth to be quite alrights. The only catch is that its unable to clear acne pimples are thosre arre very serious cases. From what i've heard from others ah. So, if you're cautious since you've acne, this is not a gel to get. Its only effective on pimples that come from break outs.
