with reference to my previous post, Calvin Klein underwear is having a storewide 20%! i absolutely love their lingerie, super comfy! there were still nice designs at the raffles city outlet when i went last weekend, you should go check it out.

anyway, kept forgetting to tell you guys about this really awesome Murad primer ive been using daily. kept slipping my mind as ive been super super SUPER busy with work, the paperwork for moving and trying to meet everyone more often. when i went to bintan last weekend, its the only "make-up" item that i used together with my regular skincare and suncreen.



it works great to even out your skin tone. for regular day use, you can use in under your compact foundation or just dust loose powder over.



i really like the fact that the finish is matte, since most primers that glide on so easily tend to have a oily finish. for girls with drier skin, not to worry, they do have a dewy finish primer too, it has a slight shimmer which works better on dry skin as it gives a healthy sheen.



i love that Murad's hybrid range is actually skincare with a cosmetic effect, so it is formulated to treat skin problems. which is a plus point for me cus i believe that no amount of make-up can replace/compare to naturally good skin.



got this primer together with the eye lift illuminator and a trail kit from Murad's event at Mandarin Oriental the other day. good stuff, you can find them at:
BHG Bugis (tel: 6238-8475); Metro Paragon (tel: 6235-8379); Robinson Centrepoint (tel: 6887-4583) & TARA apothecary (tel: 6226-3963

since i only have 30kg luggage limit, i made a mental list of my priorities:

1) my entire stash of skincare/beauty products
2) lingerie (impt, please help if you can! do they have size differences? im looking at specific brands, CK and triumph.)
3) most shoes
4) laptop
5) most accessories
6) some bags
7) my favourite clothing
8) er, clothes steamer and rice cooker
9) maybe a cookbook if i have space

somehow it doesnt seem very comprehensive, i think i might have left something (or more) out. /:
im not a very good when it comes to prioritsing/packing.

i spent my long weekend



getting stranded,



driving through floods,



feasting on crabs



and cloud watching.

the right thing is always the most difficult thing to do.
but if its the right thing, why do i feel so miserable inside?

tonight, Mr Chiam See Tong will cease to have a seat in parliament. we have lost a political hero who truly loves Singapore, truly loves Singaporeans. he will always have my greatest respect.

obama trumps trump. hur.

with the election fever going on and so many rallies to watch, here are a couple of points i pondered over/have realised.

1) this GRC thing is annoying because i believe we should vote based on one's merit's. it is unfair and biased when it has to come to a point where voters have to choose, how much does my support for XXX overshadow my dislike for XXX. it is worth it to vote for the passionate and caring XXX knowing that the not-so-deserving XXX is in the same party?

2) there is no such thing as a "cooler" party to support. unfortunately, some of the gen-y voters who dont really care but still want to be involved, are just taking sides because of peer influence. i'd rather you continue being ignorant and forgo your vote, rather than randomly pick a party to "support" because of your friends support them. this is not a shopping trip where you'd ask your friends which pair of jeans make your butt look less fat. this is your vote, your choice. listen to all the candidates speeches, look at each of their merits and what they can do for your neighbourhood, your country. decide for yourself.

3) social media is very powerful, not only in providing timely updates, but also very effective in swaying opinions.

4) everyone has different views on politics, just like religion. it is okay to share your views, but dont shove it down someone's throat.

that said, i was really looking forward to voting for the first time, but alas, i dont get a chance to vote. to all who can, please vote wisely.

oh, by the way, when discussing marriage, you must figure out if you see eye to eye on three things: sex, politics, and religion. now's a good time to test your marriage compatibility. (;
