YAHLah

After this post, i hope when you say "YAHLah" you think of food.

Yummy And Healthy food. And as older people / naggier people will say "It's all for your own good" I am going to tell you the same thing.. What i am going to bug you from now on about.. Is all for your own good.

You guys know i have migraine right? Really bad migraine. By really bad, i mean really freaking bad. You can read about my post HERE. I have all the effects of migraine.

I usually like to avoid talking about it becox i believe talking about it will remind me and my body of it and it will come more often. And when it hits me (always suddenly, out of nowhere), i'd get blind spot which will immediately make me near disabled, numbness at my limbs, at my tongue, i'd feel super duper nauseous like i need to puke my guts out cox nothing in my body seems right inside. And with all these together, there will be the actual migraine - The worst headache you can imagine.

The kind of pain that goes from your shoulder to neck to your head.

And panadol won't help. Caffox (which only helps my blind spot) also won't ease the pain.

There will only be me in a room.. With lights off. Sometimes maybe i'd play some soft music.

Sometimes the sound of my cries and scream and me hitting my own head to apply pressure on it to temporarily soothe the pain. Accupotomy already helped improve the situation a lot. But i doubt i'd go back again becox after acupotomy, if i wear heels / have slightly less than perfect posture, my whole neck down to my spine will just behave like a stiff bitch. So..

Basically i have no help.

I only have myself and God. I don't know which God. But just someone bigger, better. Who knows more. And i choose to believe he put me through this since i was 13, for a good reason.

Maybe it's to justify for my pain, to make myself feel better.

But maybe i really am supposed to be better than who i am now.

You might or might not believe but i was so helpless and lost yesterday. Cox migraine hit me at about 3pm yesterday. I got better at 5pm. And it came back at 8pm or so.

I was like.. Really? Me again? There's only one fucking person in the world who can suffer this at one time, is it? And i have to cover double shift today?! REALLY?!

So it lasted til 5am.

I was battling it. You know when you refuse to let something get you down, you fight it. You do better than it. You handle more than what it throws you. But this really just tear me apart. Like.. What's my life gonna be? No matter how much money i earn, how many pretty clothes i buy, i am always open to this pain.. SO. I was really thinking of giving up. And by giving up, i mean maybe go to the A&E and ask for a morphine jab or some shit, to stop the pain. But i can't. Becox if i give up one time, my body would need higher measure to counter it the next time.

I started with panadol. Then it lost its effect then i move on to a few other medication before i thought i found 仙丹 Caffox. Now caffox can only fix my blind spot. It doesn't help anything else anymore.

So i refuse to get more serious drugs. WHY DO I NEED SERIOUS DRUGS.

WHY CAN'T THIS FUCKING THING JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. I was so angry and frustrated i cried so badly. And sometimes.. I really feel like only dying could take me away from the pain but i don't wanna die lah!!! My life is really quite awesome i just cannot die!!!

So at 3am, Michelle told me "You really have to take this seriously.. You eat outside food everyday and you know how much MSG they have..?" She is right.

MSG is also one of the main trigger for migraine.

Equally harmful as cured / preserved food.

So. Right at the second.. I finally manage to find reasoning in all the stupid shit i have been going through for 13 years.. I need to eat healthy and i can't just stop there. I have to advocate healthy-eating becox only by doing this, i can continue to motivate myself while i encourage others. They say you have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

I am still trying to be motivated to LIVE healthy (like example by sleeping in the correct timezone lol and by exercising at least a little bit a day) but you know what they say.. Baby steps. Exercising is really not easy =X I hope maybe Punggol open a indoor swimming pool, ah maybe then! Haha.

And "eating healthily" really sounds right for me becox you also know, my favourite food is McDonald's and crispy bacon and lots and lotsa ba you pok (deep fried pork lard) and chocolate and super ring and potato chips and all sort of things that has heavy flavouring and taste.

Think of anything deep fried, unhealthy, tasty with lotsa flavour, think of me. It is me. Becox you are what you eat. Or at least that's what many people say haha. I am walking piece of pork lard haha.


So anyway. I finally found meaning in the pain i go through. And like i said, that is, to encourage more people to eat greener, healthier, cleaner. So today i woke up before Josh and he was half-awake and i was changing out to head out and he ask me "Where you going so early?"

I said "I am going to the market" He jumped up awake and was like "HUH?"

That's right. Hahaha. So i went to the market and bought lotsa colour. Red and orange and green and white. Food in their natural form are really beautiful.

So i am calling this journey YAHLah!

YAH - Yummy And Healthy

Becox i always tell people who nag at me to healthier, "yah lah yah lah" Patronising them.

But now YAHLah has a whole new meaning!!! =DDD Today i posted the lunch i cooked on instagram (@bongqiuqiu) and the response was quite good! Thank you guys who shared more yummy and healthy recipes with me by hashtagging #YAHLah =DDD

This is what i made for lunch! Eating healthy is MUCH MUCH easier and enjoyable than i thought. Becox you can throw in things you like, just don't "contaminate" them with too much flavouring ha!
Sliced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes. Then i chill them in the fridge.
Mash up the hard boil eggs (actually one would be good enough but i thought that will be too little so i got a little greedy haha) with a fork and while doing that, sprinkle a tiny bit of seasalt and pepper!
Bring out the chilled tomatoes and zucchini and then drizzle your favourite sauce over it! Drizzle ah, don't pour haha. I would have poured if i was me one day ago. But i am a changed person now.
So there you have! Appertizing salad (i used Japanese roasted sesame salad dressing, but the milky kind of sesame sauce is super yummy and awesome too) and your mashed egg to go with bread! If you like cheese you may layer cheese before you scoop on the eggs ^.^ It is very very yummy.

From someone who loves everything extra, Cai Tao Kway extra black, extra egg, Mee Pok extra minced pork and deep fried pork lard, Nasi Lemak extra egg, in fact, every dish that i can add extra eggs, i won't let it pass. I ask Josh what other kind of food i always wanna add something "EXTRA"

He say "Basically everything" He is right. Even chicken rice i'd ask for extra of the salty sesame oil with soya sauce. Why am i like this. My kidneys confirm hate me lol.

From someone like me a day ago, to me today.. I think it's a pretty huge leap. You can praise me, thank you =D Hahaha. I hope more than that, you can join me. I am not going to preach.

I still love McDonald's a lot. I still love KFC. I still love Pizza Hut. I still am going to add extra pork lard when i eat noodles (i am sorry, for this one i might have to go to pork lard rehab centre to quit lol), i still love all the food that's out there.

But all i am saying is.. I will start adding in fresh, healthy food, fruits and more vegetables into my diet. And i strongly encourage you to! Becox there might be afterlife.. But there's only one body to take care of this life. And i really did see a ray of hope when the idea of "Healthier food" came to me last night.. I hope this light will continue to shine bright.

Stay healthy. That's the best we can do for ourselves and for the people who love us.

Hashtag #YAHLah if you have a YUMMY and HEALTHY recipe to share with all of us ^.^

Better still if it's YEAHLah! Yummy, Easy And Healthy!

QWeekly - Even i get sick of me.. Not really.

So.. This explains the title.

It's me again on the cover of QWeekly O.O

Becox i've been wayyy too busy i don't really have time to invite other bloggers for the cover shoot =( Say real one although i really like seeing nice pictures of myself, i really also super love seeing pretty pictures of others, especially so if i play a part in dolling them up lah.

So anyway~ Don't be sad to see my face (again!) on the cover!!! This week's QWeekly on NAIL IT! got DIY tutorial on OMBRE GLITTERY nails!!! =DDD

This might show that i am not actually apologetic that my face is on QWeekly again, HERE IS A VLOG I MADE hahahah. Totally not-actually-sick of my own face.

You can see how my face is now, it's been about 3 months after the surgeries. I did the surgery on 5th of March. So about ten more days it'd be 3 months lah! So erm.. Enjoy!

I love Laneige

Sponsored Post

You guys know i've been a great fan of Laneige! Haha! I've tweeted, instagrammed and blogged mentioned about their products before and EVERYONE knows how super-awesome their water sleeping pack (mask) is!!! So awesome it has won multiple awards from beauty magazines!

I am on my second tub already haha. I find it especially useful when i need it to soothe my skin. I've had itchy rash on my face once and i apply that to sleep and woke up the day to nicer skin haha.

Anyway~! I also openly love their BB cushion!!! It's a relatively new product! I bought it like.. In January i think. I recently just started on the free refill that comes with it =D Pretty lasting!

Launched in 1994 in Korea, Laneige is a premium cosmetic brand that promotes lively, youthful skin with its most advanced ”water science” technology. Positioning itself as the ‘moisture-expert’ brand, Laneige introduces a variety of "Waterful" skincare and make-up items to us! =D

We all know how moisture is vital for our skin to stay radiant and healthy. So in all Laneige products, "moisturising or not" and "hydrating or not" will be the last things you have to worry about lah! ^.^

You can only imagine how happy i am when Laneige wants to do an advertorial with me ^.^
This shot is just to show some of the Laneige products i have now haha.




 I have a few more but they are in my bath room and i a bit lazy to bring them out for photoshoot haha. When i took out all these, Josh (who shot all the pictures for me! Thank you!!!) confirm already find out where i have been spending my money hahaha.

I bought some of them, a few are given to me as present from Michie. And i have been using them (that's why you can see some is half used hahaha) and Laneige very generously sent me the rest!!! They are really one of the most generous sponsors!!! ^.^
Holding the NEW Firming Sleeping Pack =D As if the original sleeping is not already super awesome enough!!! I think this is going to be one of my new favourite from Laneige! =D

This sleeping pack improves Skin Restoration Capacity during sleep. So as you sleep, your skin regains firmness, moisture and suppleness!!! GOT SO GOOD DEAL ONE?! Hahaha.

As you can figure, the time we spend on sleeping, is also the time our body recharge AND of course, it's also a very important time our skin use to heal and recover from fatigue. Eh, you don't say what, you think we talk talk talk whole day, eat, chew, smile, laugh, frown all these, not stretching the skin meh haha. Our skin also can get really tired and dry with impurities all over it after one day!

However, when the body is most relaxed, the skin is also under the strongest pressure during this length of rest. “Pillow marks”, contrary to dismissive belief, are not temporary marks but the beginnings of potential wrinkles =OOO HOW NOW?! If i sleep sideways i apply pressure on my face, if i sleep facing upwards i am stretching my face from all ways down due to gravity.

*flip table* DON'T SLEEP LIAO LAH so difficult. Hahaha.

Laneige calls this “Sleep Lines” Studies show that skin, exposed to UV rays during the day, is more likely to form Sleep Lines when the damage is accumulated and the skin has not recover. Makes sense cox if you expose it to harmful rays in the day time, and then end of the day you go to sleep and apply more pressure on it no matter how you sleep.. I guess if i am the skin i also give up. Lol.

But don't worry!
Recognizing through research that Sleep Lines can be prevented by keeping the skin supple and fortifying ‘skin restoration capacity’, Laneige presents a solution in Firming Sleeping Pack.

It is a simple idea:
What we need to solve this issue is, a hydrating, firming sleeping pack that restores supple firmness while you sleep.
If the skin lacks a natural ‘skin restoration capacity’, it bounces back less quickly from stress applied on it. So if your skin lacks firmness, it takes longer to restore, forming temporary ‘sleep lines’ which eventually become wrinkles.
Laneige’s answer to moist, supple, and firm skin lies in its "SleePop7" and Sleepscent7 technology, which boosts three actions:

1) Fortifying Skin Restoration Capacity by strengthening and improving your skin’s firmness
The components of "SleePop7" (Sleep + Operation) improve the skin’s shape-restoring ability and regain the skin’s firmness during sleep, ultimately preventing sleep lines that propagate during the day.

2) Prevent Skin Damage
Components of "SleePop7" reverse and prevent skin damage as you sleep. Find out more on the components of "SleePop7" and how it's so effective to get wonderful skin overnight, click HERE.

You may go find out more about "SleePop7" but i MUST show you the texture of the Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack! I think this is also one reason why it's very effective in firming up the skin!

It's like this soluble jelly!!! It's exactly like jelly, but flowy one i don't know how to explain so you just look at the picture! When you scoop into it, it had these dents from the scooped out portion right? Within 20 seconds it'd be back into the jelly form which won't break unless you scoop in again!!!! WHAT THE HECK IT'S AMAZING I've never seen something like this before!!!

I feel like the Firming Sleeping Pack is engineered in a way, the molecules will always wanna be kept together. So when you spread them out on your skin, they still wanna be kept together!!!

So after applying, from about 10 seconds onwards, you will feel a "HUG" on your face. Really that's how i feel! Like the mask, collectively from all angle, hug your face. And i guess it sorts of make you FEEL the real action of firming on top of the intensive firming and moisturising ingredients!

If you'd like to find out more about the Firming Sleeping Pack, click HERE =D


Spread it on your face (it comes with a spatula but i never ever use it lah =X) and feel the love!!!

3) Relieve Skin Stress
Sleepscent7 suppresses skin stress hormones for deep sleep with a mixture of natural calming aromas from Orange flower, Rose, Ylang-ylang, and Sandalwood Oil. Haha, actually i think not only the skin gets relieved of stress, even our mind also will feel stress-free after smelling it on our skin! =D

Take the Firming Sleeping Pack as a quick pamper massage for yourself 2 - 3 times a week! I do it alternate days if i can. If you think that is kiasu, let me introduce you to my gf who flies as a air stewardess, she does it EVERYDAY @.@ She say cabin condition is the worst for skin cox of dry air + very near to the sun got a lot of UV rays etc. So.. Let's all buck up hahaha.

Remember to cover the vital areas where firming and moisturising is especially needed! Mainly, your laughlines, cheeks, side of the mouth AND NECK!!! Please don't forget your neck. Really. I learn that necklines can tell your real age no matter how much makeup you put on your face =X

Another new product from Laneige that is essential to your daily skincare routine!!! Especially if you adore the dewy, glowly, radiant and translucent fair skin!!!
White Plus Renew Original Essence

It contains MelacrusherTM so you will get visibly fairer after 2 weeks of usage.

MelacrusherTM is a skincare technology developed by Laneige! To find out more about Melacrusher, click HERE. But in short..

It decomposes the melanin veil that cause discoloration of skin by reducing dark spots and bringing back the inner radiance and beauty of the complexion. The essence is also mildly formulated with clean ingredients without paraben, animal ingredients, artificial pigments and mineral oil, restoring and brightening up the skin tone without upsetting the skin.

With this new technology, Laneige White Plus Renew line improves 6 core elements of brightening – glow, moisture, brightness, transparency, even skin tone and reduced melanin level. So you don't just look fair and white, the time has moved on to BRIGHT and glowy looking radiant healthy skin!


Let's try it!

I like to try new product on my hand first lah. I wanna see how well it gets absorbs into the skin! The White Plus Renew Original Essence works pretty well for me cox main thing i look out for in the texture is that after applying, it cannot be sticky! So i remove makeup and leave only eye makeup!

And try on the essence ^.^

In a gentle swipe ^.^ Then slowly spread it. Avoid eye area! =D Do this twice a day, day and night. And in two weeks you'd get visibly clearer, fairer radiant skin!!! =DDD

It smells damn good also!!! =DDD And feels gentle and soft on the skin!

FINALLY..

The new star product at Laneige!!!
LANEIGE BB Cushion
BB Cushion, a compact that contains a cushion filled with cooling air and BB cream. It is a new type of BB product with surprising benefits!!! I have been using this soon after its launch!!! I bought it =( Hahaha. Cox it's just TOO amazing!

I share my personal thoughts on the BB cushion okay!!! Later then tell you the product details.

Why i decided to buy it is cox firstly, i like the "watery" glowy finishing on the skin!!! Powdery finish is okay but sometimes if done wrongly, i can look very washed out and cakey in pictures.

And this watery finishing is the trend in Korea now! Don't be mistaken with oily skin hor hahaha. Oily is really like no control one. This one makes your skin glow at the right places! Looks especially nice in the sun!!! =DDD Don't worry, it has SPF50 PA++. Haha. WHICH, is another plus point for me cox i don't like all the hassle of having to put multiple products especially when i am rushing out!

After using, i realise there's so much more to love about the BB cushion! I love it that on first contact with your skin, it feels cooling one!!!! Yeah, no matter where you carry it to, even under the hot sun outdoor, you whip it out to touch up or whatever, it still feels cooling on your skin one!

And, not sure how many of you who have tried it, appreciate the same thing as me! THE PUFF!!!!!! This puff is the MOST awesome makeup puff ever!!! It's sooooo soft!!! And it helps you dab and blends so well! And you can easily fold it to apply coverage on corners of the face. Like corners of the eyes and brow bone area and the sides of the nose. And the pores on the sponge is soooo small!!!
Look. When you dab some form the BB cushion, it's already sort of blended on the pad in the sense every micro pores also got the bb cream so when it goes to your face you don't get patches! Okay thank you for listening to me and in what way i love the BB Cushion haha. Oh and one more thing! It's so compact and easy to bring it out in your makeup pouch for touch-up on the go if you need! But i don't lah, usually it last me through the day ^.^

Okay here are the actual five benefits in one awesome Laneige BB Cushion:
1. Brightening effect
Laneige BB Cushion contains White Plus Renew ComplexTM

White Plus Renew ComplexTM brightens up the overall skin tone. It is one of the core ingredients used in Laneige's White Plus Renew brightening product line to care for dark circles and spots on skin, creating a brighter, more radiant complexion! So you're treating your skin when you wear the BB cushion!!!

2. Daily protection against harmful UV rays and sun damage SPF50+/PA+++

3. Soothing effect that instantly cools down and refreshes the skin fatigued under heat! How? I got look very refreshed or not hahaha. Benefits of cooling, sweat-proof and sunscreen make is extra useful for consumers in Asian countries cox skin is vulnerable to heat, humidity and storing sunlight!

4. Sweat-proof, long-lasting coverage
Good lah, wear the BB cushion to exercise! JUST the BB cushion and nothing else! Deng deng deng, the secret to looking radiant and glowy with even skin tone even when you're sweating haha.

5. Tone correction to medium coverage, creating a clean and natural look

To give you a better idea how the coverage of the BB cushion is..

I am going to try it on one side of my face! Remember i removed all makeup on my face already ah, except eye makeup! =D

The side i am pointing at, is the side with the BB Cushion applied.

A clearer comparison. With the BB cushion, skin is more evenly toned and redness on my face reduced until like cannot see anymore lah =DDD Dark patches (on the side of my mouth especially) also can be lighten and be less obvious. But of course becox it's not a very thick coverage, you can still see some of the blemishes on my forehead. But we give and take some! If you have too thick a coverage, you'd need to put full makeup. If not your features will look washed out.

With BOTH sides done. On my eyes is only liner, brow filler, mascara and concealer undereye! And whole face is based with the Snow BB Soothing Cushion =DDD

So as you can see, though the coverage is not say very thick, it is perfect for your everyday wearing. Esepcially if you just wanna look presentable and clean enough at work / in school but don't wanna go OTT. Haha. Cox after you apply this, you'd realise it's just like a veil over your original skin.

Hides the tiny flaws on your skin and lessen the attention on the obvious flaws but doesn't wash out the features of your face! So you'd look fresh, waterful and clean!!! =DDD And!!! Natural.

You know now the trend is, got wear makeup but look like don't have. Right. Hahaha. The BB cushion will do just the job!

Out of all the five benefits, the ones that i can relate with is the protection against harmful UV rays and sun damage!!! I love products that has SPF in them!!! Really saves me a lot of time and hassle and it's a big plus point for me! =DDD

I also love it that it has cooling effect on the skin! Feels quite shiok when you apply it haha ^.^ But most of all, i love that it corrects your skin tone and makes it look even and glowy! =DDD
 

So if you're into k-beauty Natural and Light Makeup, this would be the ideal product for you!!!

Complex makeup stages all compact in one product! Laneige BB Cushion sheds the heavy makeup layers and keeps your look tinted and natural without irritating the skin ^.^

AND ONE MORE THING I LOVE ABOUT IT?!?!?

IT COMES WITH A FREE REFILL!!!!!! And is available in four shades, 13, True Beige, 21 Natural Beige, 23 Sand Beige, 31 Brown Beige at $59! Totally worth every cent and more!!!!!!

If you're heading to get the BB cushion, don't forget to try their Firming Sleeping pack as well! Intensive skin care is essential when skin recovery is most active at night to prevent Sleep Lines that damage the skin. This is your Sleep Lines eraser! You deserve your "Beauty Sleep" for real!

And for those who want to achieve beautiful glowy skin in 2 weeks, you have to give the White Plus Renew Original Essence a shot!!! =DDD You'd be happy with the results!

Okay that's all i have for you!!! You'd have really really good waterful skin in no time, promise! Becox when i take care of my skin with Laneige skincare products, i have good skin too. Remember when i went to Korea? Before that period i damn siao on, every alternate day put sleeping pack haha.

But then after that a bit afraid to clean my face properly so the skin wasn't too good for a while. But now i am back on track with the skincare regime =DDD And Laneige never let me down when i want to see results! It's a undying love. Just like my obsession with how perfect Song Hye Kyo looks haha!

I've always loved her face!!! And in 2008, i came to a huge discovery. That maybe Song Hye Kyo and me are related *affirmative nod* Lololol. You see lor.


It's like these pictures i already took, and then one day i was googling Song Hye Kyo. And then i'm like "OMG i have a picture that looks similar!!!" X 3. And then that's when our fate cross path. 姐!!!!
Okay don't play already. Bye bye~

YES.

Sometimes i wonder if everyone.. Just for one moment.. Believe that they can want anything..

With no limitation on what, who, how, where and why..

What would they wanna be..

What would you do? And who do you wanna do it with? And where do you wanna do it?

Do you sometimes ask yourself these questions?

Or maybe you don't do such boh liao thinking / daydreaming 

I have many little big dreams.. And i feel it's all gonna come true. But sometimes it's just.. The way there is confusing.. And it can be upsetting.. And a lot at times, life throws you misleading signs. You know you're supposed to follow the signs and go with the flow instead of fighting it but how do you do it when your self-belief is strong? I assume that cox someone who doesn't believe in herself will not be upset when life tries to test her belief and patience. Haha.

Okay i ask you.. When you eat durian, do you insist on opening the final thin wedge? I do. I will insist my dad / the durian seller to open up the thin wedge. And even thou 9 out of 10 times i'd be disappointed, i still believe with all my heart each time, that there will be (a bit of) durian inside that thin wedge.

And this is a problem i have! I am a little bit insane sometimes. Not all the time. Just sometimes. About some things i feel strongly about. And i don't feel strongly about a lot of things.

Things i feel strongly about are like.. I must clean the headboard of my bed EVERY NIGHT before i sleep. And that there should be extra food leftover on the table at the end of the meal, if i am paying for the meal. And that you should never like your own picture on instagram. Haha.

I don't think i wanna explain why i am persistent about those stuff, you can figure it out. But actually you don't have to understand.. I am sure there are somethings you do, that i'd never understand haha.

And it's okay, i'd never go leave you a comment telling you how you are nasty and how you suck.

What was i talking about. About insanity + positivity. Right. Positivity to believe each time you do something that didn't get you results the last time you did it. I think it's a crazy exciting ride.

But at the same time i feel life itself is a continuous effort of wanting and achieving and wanting more and anticipating and then getting it all and then finding other things to find.

Unless of course if you're into zen and want nothing but the sound of water and a grass mat haha.

Only when i look at babies and kids/ when i'm in Disneyland, and when i'm looking at the sky / looking at the sea.. Will i feel like.. "Okay, i am good already" Like that moment i don't need to pursue more things. But then again, when i get to reality, i realise i have needs.. To be a better person, to be more capable. To provide. To protect. To make people i love proud of me.

After listening to songs that makes me happy and blogging all these random shit out, i have decided that no matter how sometimes i might feel tired, helpless and insignificant..

I have to remember to say YES.

Say YES to myself. Yes, let's go again. Yes, let's give it one more try! Yes, you're awesome. Yes, of course! Yes, let's make it happen! Yes, you're right! Yes, you can! YES, ME!

Becox no matter how many times the durian is not there.. At least i never give up believing.

Can you believe?

QWeekly - Knowing yourself

I wanna talk.

Earlier today i instagrammed a picture, using a picture from a previous OO7D feature. And i ask on instagram, for people to hashtag #OO7D if they want to have their outfits featured on QWeekly. The purpose of this is so that i can click the hashtag and then sift out the suitable ones. Right?

And by the way, OO7D = Outfit Of 7 days.

So initially it was doing alright. Quite a number of people hashtag their outfit pictures. Which i am happy about lah! Thank you guys for being so responsive!!! =D

BUT. There has to be that few people who have to fucking ruin everything.

I didn't monitor the hashtag for just like 1 hour, cox i went to nap. I woke up and Sophie text to say she is so grossed out for me, about the OO7D hashtag. So i went to see.

500 over pictures. Half relevant, half irrelevant.

Let's talk about the relevant ones first.

Out of the half that are relevant (meaning the pictures are indeed outfit pictures), 45% is mirror self-shots of their ootds. Dark, blur, pixelated. Sigh.. I really don't wanna sound like a meanie but HAVE YOU NOT SEEN OO7D? The standard of pictures that have been featured on OO7D so far are all really really good. If you have not seen, then you shouldn't join. If you wanna join something, you should at the very least find out what you're joining. And in this case blurry dark mirror self-shots just won't do.. Unless you're Cheesie. Lol.

And then another 45% are from people who only take OOTD pictures once in a blue moon. So i can't exactly feature them cox for OO7D to happen i need at least 7 outfits, right? So same thing, if you'd seen what OO7D is about, you wouldn't have hashtag your OO7D becox you're not very into showing people what you wore and how you style it etc. So why?

So that is 90% hope gone. But thankfully, in the end i manage to find about 15 good ones. Thank you girls so much. Thank you!!! If you know you hashtagged relevant pictures, please don't take anything i said to heart becox it's 100% not meant for you!

OKAY.

Now i wanna talk about the irrelevant one.

I'd cut it short.

Anyone who hashtag OO7D with their face shots, multiple face shots even, with their doggy pictures, with them and their doggy and cleavage, and blogshop who hashtag their stupid collection picture with OO7D, i hope you all have a very very bad week and everything will go badly for you.

HERE I AM TRYING TO PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER WITH A SYSTEM for people who are genuinely keen in showcasing outfits and there you are

*OH OH MY GOD FAME FAME FAME, I AM A FAMEWHORE I WANT SOME FAME*

*ATTENTION ATTENTION~ ATTENTION SEEKER HERE NEEDS ATTENTION~!*

* LOOK AT MA FACE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN OO7D WHAT'S THAT! I JUST WANNA EXPOSE MYSELF TO PEOPLE WHO WILL CLICK ON QIUQIU'S HASHTAG!!!*

And then like a maniac, hashtag 92837292 pictures irrelevent pictures of your own as OO7D.

Ni bu ran qu si.

Okay rant finish. You can go browse QWeekly dee!

On the cover of QWeekly this week is Peggy!!! =D
Some pictures of me at work for the makeover section.
Shio also working hard haha. Actually Josh also working very hard.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE?

Nobody have time to scroll pass 500 pictures just to look at your face mostly. 真的让我很生气

I will still keep looking at OO7D hashtag. So if you really is keen in showing your outfits then please keep tagging. But i hope you all also understand i can't be putting up lousy quality pictures.

But i'd be happy to browse and look at them still. So long as it's still relevant to OO7D then please, share it with me =) Like this week's OO7D feature is a girl i found from the hasgtag as well =D

1 Year from Proposal ^.^

So like on the 12th May this year is one year after Josh proposed. Haha ^.^ If you keen on grandmother story you can go and read lah =D

And so this year we wanted to go back to White Rabbits one but they have a wedding on that day =((( So we decided to go for ramen instead =D Nevermind lah i also very love Japanese food.

Me on the cab.
While waiting for our food =D
Erm. Since waiting.. I camho. Lol.
That day got stick eyelid stickers. Lol. Not bad.
My super flavourful fried rice =DDD AND!!!!
One of the rare few gyoza i love!!! I usually don't love gyoza cox they always put fat chunks of meat that is unchewable i don't know what is it actually. But this one is sooooo juicy and meaty and super yummy!!! And the skin. Omg. It's at Millennia Walk (Parco side) Level 3. You'd see a big "Itadakimasu" or something. Walk towards that food area, enter from the left side, keep walking til the end at the corner is the shop. I don't know the name sorry! It's Shio and Samantha introduce one.
Ramen that Josh ordered. We didn't find it nice cox it's like crab broth or something. Just go with their usual tonkatsu! That is good!!! =D Okay i blog finish liao.

As you can see. This post is to bluff you to come read me one. Lolol. But not that bad also becox i shared a place that sells nice gyoza with you. Haha.

Also also, if you're free tomorrow (Weds) you can drop by JRunway lah! Remember the JStar contest they were running? Where the winner gets to fly to Japan for modelling course and to get in touch with the fashion industry in Japan and watch fashion show etc! AND! Get paid for modelling / advertisement etc? Yeah they picked out the contestants already!

And tomorrow is the final showdown haha. I'd be one of the judges along side a SCawaii model from Japan!!! That is huge right?! =O So come and say hi if you're free tomorrow!

7pm @ JRunway (Plaza Sing new extension level 1)

And yes yes yes, we can snap pictures etc! I'd be hanging around =D So come say hi and watch the girls (and guys! Yeah got male contestants also!) werk it on the stage! =D
