Yes, I have a lot of goals but this is one of those that I'm really passionate about. Working on achieving it does not seem like work at all. In fact, I enjoy every minute of it. I've always love playing with it since I was a kid (without my mom's permission for using her stuff of course) but it faded behind school and work. However, it was recently reignited when I started helping out MoofMoof build his/our business. Thus I'm going to work on it while still helping MoofMoof build his business.

So what is this wonderful goal that makes me go all musical and lalala? Makeup! I'm aspiring to become a makeup artist so I've been volunteering to do makeup for friends and people who needs makeup services. Last week was my first time doing makeup for people whom I don't know. It was exciting. The girls were a joy to work with and I had so much fun working with them. I'm very happy and satisfied with the results even though it may not be compared to the works of professionals yet. All in all it was a very rewarding experience. Here's what I did to Becky & Joanne for their homecoming:

Name of project : Threading Mania
Objective : To thin out and shape the eyebrow
Model : Tomo
Result :

Guess which is before and which is after? right or left? It's pretty obvious right? If you can't guess it right, I would suggest for you to get your eyes checked.

We went to the pumpkin patch & the corn maze for the first time today at the Craven Farm. I gotta say I never thought that going to a farm full of pumpkins and corns could be so much fun.

To get our money's worth from the corn maze, we decided to take on the Wild Hare Route (the harder one, obviously) relative to the Bunny Route, thinking it would be a peace of cake. Boy, were we wrong! We were going round and round in the corn maze, from one loop to another. It was crazy! However, we eventually made it out alive after HOURS of being stuck in the maze. Note to self - don't ever underestimate the corn mazes again.

We then move on to pumpkin hunting. It felt like playing the Harvest Moon game in real life. How awesome is that, huh? I got to push the wheelbarrow, walked in the patch and marvelled over the farm that is full of adorable pumpkins. Don't ask me why, but I've always thought that pumpkins are adorable, big or small.


We were having so much fun finding that perfect pumpkin for Halloween until we realized that we dropped our camera, my tiny Canon SD780is. We spent the next 45 minutes walking back and forth in the pumpkin patch looking for that tiny black camera telling myself the whole time that we'll definitely find it. Finally, we asked the lady at the cashier if there was a Lost and Found, and she looked but there was no camera. We went back to the pumpkin patch for another round of searching. No luck. Just when things seemed bleak, we held on to the positive thought more and more, and we went back to the Lost and Found booth again, and surely enough someone had found the camera and had returned it. To the one who found it and to the lady at the booth, we thank you very much and may you and your family always be blessed and we wish you many happy returns. It is delightful to know that in our world of decreasing morals and values, there are still good samaritans out there.

Ahhh...what a day! So much fun and so many wonderful things to be discovered. Thanks to our lovely friends for inviting us.

The air is cool and the trees are turning golden yellow caressed by the gentle breeze. The grounds are covered with a sheet of gold. Ahhh...what a pretty sight. Yes, it's the time of the year, yet again. Fall is here, marking the time to shed our leaves and start anew. Which also mean, time to bring in some fresh new additions into the wardrobe. Fall has got to be one of my favourite season. It's not too hot, yet not too cold. It gives you so much flexibility when it comes to fashion. You can either layer it up or thin it down.

I was suppose to shop for a waterproof snow boots as winter was predicted to be colder and more snowy than last year. However, my vanity gets the better of me. I ended up getting these:

You can always trust me to choose looks over practicality. What can I say, I'm vain like that.
