I promised myself that would be the last time i cry for you. But, this time, I just couldn't control my tears. I thought i was strong enough to put everything behind me. I was wrong. Someone told me that one should not go back on her words. If one has decided, then she shan't go back on her words. I feel so helpless. All the things I have done to distract myself, I'm just deceiving myself. Why can't you change? Can i have the feeling of being cherished just once?

Ohoh, I had my dinner at Secret Recipe just now with Mr Raymond again. Had their "hot favorite" chocolate banana cake. It was really addictive man. I really have a sweet tooth for cakes. Just on Thursday, I finished at least 1/2 of the 1.2kg Mango Cake! I don't give a damn if cakes are sinful or not, I just love cakes. Don't know why, every time i indulged in the sweetness, I just feel extremely relaxed and light-weighted.

So you guys, better get me many many many cakes for me on my birthday - 25th April ! Rest assured I'll finish all of your cakes. I want... Black Forest Cake! Chocolate Fudge Cake! Mango Tango! Fruit paradise! Somebody save meeeeeeeee, I'm droolliiinnngggg! =x

After chatting for sometime, we made our way to the cinemas. But boy, all the timings were just not for us. So we went to the arcade instead! Haha! Been quite sometime since i patronized these places. Played Daytona and Time Crisis3 & 4! Aha ~

"Ah? A girl like you play Time Crisis?!" Yeah! My all-time favorite. =p But my skills were all rusty after such long time.

Dudes, my CCA is The Shooting Club! Currently training my pistol, nevertheless, my rifle skills are always the best. To think that i actually topped the school selection those days. Oops, I'm digressing too much. :p

Alright, back to it. Yea, we headed straight home after a couple of games. Though it was just a short night, but compared to mugging at home, this definitely would be the better one! Aha.





@ 11:58 PM



People have been asking me what exactly is my secret to my fast-recovery of my used-to-breakout face compared to now. Heh! That's aspirin mask! That's the most fab' mask I've ever used and it is really effective and you could see the instant effects aftermath. Without further ado, let Miss Celine show the light to you!

1st : Introducing the Aspirin Mask by Bayer (You can get it at pharmacies like Guardian)



2nd : Take out the tablets and put it in a dish. (No. of tablets range due to own preference) For myself having acne-prone and oily skin, I use 2 tablets only as I'm afraid it would be too strong for me. It could be quite drying sometimes.



3rd : Dab a few DROPLETS of water onto it. At most 5droplets will do! Mix until you get a paste-like consistency.



4th : Spread it onto your face! For first-timers, you may be quite hesitant with putting that "grain-like" mask onto your face. I was pretty scared for the first time. Haha! Remember, don't grimace or make any face expressions with your mask on. The grains will just fall off. It will be really painful if it gets into your eyes. Put on your face until it dries out. Normally, I would rinse off after 15mins.



Routine:
1. Cleanse skin with normal cleanser.
2. Steam skin with a really warm cloth.
3. Apply mask for about 15-20 mins.
3. Rinse and using the aspirin bits as a scrub. Massage gently.
4. Use a light moisturizer if you have oily skin. A heavier one if you have dry skin.

The secret ingredient in the Aspirin is actually salicylic acid. You can actually find this ingredient in most of the acne creams ya.

Salicylic acid--- Referred to as beta hydroxy acid (BHA), it is a multifunctional ingredient that addresses many of the systemic causes of blemishes. For decades dermatologists have been prescribing salicylic acid as an exceedingly effective keratolytic (exfoliant), but it also is an anti-irritant This is because salicylic acid is a derivative of aspirin (both are salicylates—aspirin’s technical name is acetyl salicylic acid), and so it also functions as an anti-inflammatory. Another notable aspect of salicylic acid for treating breakouts is that it has antimicrobial properties It is also well documented that it can improve skin thickness, barrier functions, and collagen production. As an exfoliant, in concentrations of 8% to 12%, it is effective in wart-remover medications. In concentrations of 0.5% to 2%, it is far more gentle, and, much like AHAs, can exfoliate the surface of skin. In addition, BHA has the ability to penetrate into the pore (AHAs do not), and thus can exfoliate inside the pore as well on the surface of the skin; that makes it effective for reducing blemishes, including blackheads and whiteheads.

Well! Saw the wonders on Aspirin Mask? Teehees* ^^

Hello hello guys! I'm alive and kicking! My apologies for not updating for quite sometime. Been rather busy with stuffs and, the irony thing is, Miss Celine actually fell sick! Aww. I'm that kind of person who will fall sick at most once a year ( and that's always at the end of the year). And to think that I nearly fainted in school yesterday after a run. It gave me a fright when i suddenly, i only could see silhouettes and a faint light that seem so glaring to me that made me have difficulty opening my eyes. Squinting was what i only could do. That feeling was terrible man!

I slurped down 2 bottles of chicken essence once i reached home and Mummy took out all the bird nest and stuff for me. Actually got tick off by Mummy for not eating the vitamin pills which she buys for me every month :\

Maybe my strict diet these few days had a part to play? Oops.

Mmm, you guys must be wondering what I've been doing these weeks. Well, I'm definitely making full use of my term holidays to have fun with all my darlings! :D

Just a short summary of those days~

- Friday 16th Mar
Met up with Boon Kheng at town for dinner and he accompanied me with my dearest retail therapy! Hah. Aftermath, met up with Weiqiang and gang at NYDC. Those dudes were real crappy ya. Had so much fun with them.

On the train way back home, we spent all the time discussing 'bout techniques on how to get into good books with the girl whom eventually you are going to woo! And we help Yucong planned so many surprises.

One of it was something like.. Mr XX will design a tee-shirt with the 3 magic words " Xxxx, I love you! " and then go to the shop to ask the shop assistant to do him a little favor - Allow him to hang the tee-shirt he designed by the display window! And Mr XX will pretend to be a nice guy and accompany Miss XX to do some shopping at that particular area, and then...when Miss XX passes by the shop, her eyes will set upon the tee-shirt hung by the display, and of not to say, any normal girl would be touched to tears!!

That was not only the surprises we came up with. There's gotta be more like setting 100 balloons high up onto the sky with the words " I love you " at the middle of the streets ! And Mr XX will kneel down on the floor, and blah blah blah. Heh, it do sounds like someone is making a proposal!

Oh, how sweet! I want it too. Heh :p

- Saturday 17th Mar
Lil' singing session with my dearest Steff and friends over at Somerset Party-World! Guess what, we sang from 9pm to 3.30am!! Gosh. We just couldn't get our hands off the mike! Everyone seems to be so engrossed, and unknowingly, it somehow became singing lessons for me and Terrance as I've decided to participate in the Campus Superstar! ( Didn't know the age limit was till 21 years old. ) Yah, that was kinda impromptu.. But they said that it would be kind of waste if i don't. So after much consideration, I decided to go with it! After all, no harm trying right! Once in a lifetime, maybe i should get that experience of standing on stage, allowing everyone to bask in my melodious singing. HAHAHA . =p

So in end, the singing session turned out to be lil'classes for us. Me training hard for the next day's audition, then Terrance for the 2nd round audition! Really appreciate their patience with me and all the pointers given to me. (:



Me & Emelind the baby doll! ^^

- Sunday 18th Mar
At 6.30am, I manage to drag myself out of bed to prep out and go for the audition over at Toa Payoh Hub. Thank God Terrance went with me. Was totally clueless 'bout all the procedures that should be done. Haha. It actually made me cringe when i was told that i needed to wear my School-U there. I don't remember going out with my School-U, not even after school! I always went straight home after school, get changed, then out again.

Didn't get to sing that day because the response was overwhelming so i was told to go for the audition the next day over at Mediacorp at 2pm. Well, I had mixed feelings upon hearing that. Maybe that was a blessing disguise? I can train for another day! But on the other hand, it was better to get it all over and done with.

So instead, we caught the movie "Stomp the Yard" . Oh my, it was a fabulous movie! Initially, i thought it would be like those typical dance shows like "Step up", "Take the lead" etc. But this was different. Okay okay, the setting of the story was kinda similar. ( I nearly fall asleep at the start of the show. =p ) But not the dance moves! It was the best I've seen out of all the movies. They danced with such energy and they seemed to talk with their dance moves! Some of it could be quite provoking though. Wow!

There's a reason why i love to watch dance movies. Always at the end of the movie, I would leave the cinema with great admiration and overwhelmed by their great effort and spirit! The scene when they won the competition really touched me deep down.

Somehow, it's not that kind of sorrowful movies that will send pathos to me, leaving me with tears. It's like, even though it's just a movie, you could feel their "power". "Power", got it? Boy, i really don't know how to describe the feeling in words. Aha!

I always said i wanna take up dance classes. But i simply just couldn't find time to do that! =\

- Monday 19th Mar
Ahem** Eager to hear out my results right? Hmms... I didn't go for the audition! Jolly well because it just occurred to me that I'd be in Shanghai from the 19th-29th of May. And the first telecast was on 23th May! So what even i could make it to the second round right? Next year then. :(

- Friday 23rd Mar



Anybody heard of Hula Drink? Check this out.

http://hula.com.sg/products.htm

Haha. I wanna be the Hula Girl! Hula girl? Yes, they are having a search for it and i was one of the shortlisted girls! So i made a trip down to SPH to have a small meet-up with the IC. This contest was actually sponsored by Seventeen yah. They had a lil' talk with me and took a couple of photos of me. But, sigh. I have the feeling that they think I'm not sporty enough. They told me they will shortlist another 6-10 girls. Will i be one of them? :\

Met up with Raymond at Bugis aftermath and caught the movie "Mr Bean's holiday". I had a good time laughing my ass off especially at the part when Mr Bean had to perform on the streets to "earn money". Though before the show, friends had been warning me not to have high expectations on the movie as they reckoned it was kinda lame. Thank God Miss Celine aren't a bit affected by them. I think i would regret if I give this movie a miss. Afterall, Mr Bean is the all-time favourite yah? :DD

- Sunday 25th Mar


Teehees** Thanks to Mr Goh that my tummy was in a nice lil' treat!

Presenting you the Beijing Roasted Duck :



Shh. Tell you guys a lil' secret. This is actually my first time eating Beijing Roast Duck after living on Earth for that pathetic umpteen years! =x

One thing different about Beijing Roasted Duck is that it has to be wrapped with the egg skin, coupled with cucumbers and lil veggies.



Hah. Lazy me jolly well skipped those steps and happily popped the whole piece into my mouth. Kinda sinful eating that as it was quite oily though. :p


2nd Dish >> Baby Kailan with Mushrooms

The thick slurpish sauce definitely is making you drool uh huh! teeh
3rd Dish >> Hot plate mutton

Don't belittle that 3 dish! We didn't manage to finish all up! Don't forget there were only the two of us. We were simply just so bloated ! But after all, we cant help rubbing our pot-bellies with satisfaction ^^

Tata* What better could i do to end the weekend off? P-I-C-T-U-R-E-S!!




I love this picture.







**Pouty face.







The $59 dress i bought on Fri @ Outfitters. Simply just love it!



Okay, Haha. I don't know why this picture just cant seems to be rotated.



*** Tata! That's all about it ya? I'll promise you guys to update frequently. So till then, cya!! ^^v

Whenever in your car, every single song played over the radio always seems nice. The strong, tough me, wasn't thought to be so. Those feelings still lingers in me, but somehow, somewhat, it gets me to nowhere. The past, the present, the future. Could the past become the future? Or rather, well, damn it.
Setting expectations so high, that i find myself being pushed to a corner.

Miss Joscelin, what the hell are you babbling about? Get out of that stupid state of melancholy and get back to the real world man.

Rating : 2.5/5

Synopsis : PRIMEVAL is the story of an American news crew sent to Burundi, Africa, by its network chief to hunt and capture the legendary crocodile Gustave, who stalks a local river in search of human prey. The small crew consisting of embattled producer Tim Manfrey (Dominic Purcell), reporter Aviva Masters (Brooke Langton), and their cameraman Steven Johnson (Orlando Jones) are joined by two animal experts: one a Steve Irwin-style croc hunter, the other a local named JoJo.

Feedback : When the movie has reached the finale, everyone has this thinking - " HUH? finish le ah? " =\ This should be your last priority from the movies you choose from.




Ratings : 4/5

Synopsis : Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's (Sin City) acclaimed graphic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

Feedback : I was really touched and impressed by the strong preserverance and determination in the Spartans. The graphic was indeed marvelous. The virtual effects would really keep you glued to your seat for the 2 hours. Never miss this show!! :D

Baby finally came back from Cambodia alrd! Aww~ Miss him so much. So much unpleasant things happened between me & baby during the four days. Bet the love sickness had made me such a freak. But it's alright, now he is back. (:

8th March-Thurs : Well, first day of work, time flies indeed ! Because this time, we get to walk around as compared to the previous Logitech show, we girls had to stand at a designated location and finish giving out all the flyers. That was indeed %$#@!. Got to know 2 other models who will be working with me for the next 3 days. Amanda & Beatrice. Very friendly babes are they. (:

Baby came to fetch me after work and headed to Thomson for our favorite Won-ton Mee! It has been ages since we went there alrd! The won-ton mee there is the 1st man! :D

9th March-Fri : Baby is off to Cambodia till Monday :( Another fun day at work. Saw a whole gang of my cliques & photographers who came to " support fire " . Eng Lee came and we went home together. At least, I won't have to go home alone. Arigatou ! A true friend (:

Knew new colleagues from Logitech during lunch break and didn't expect them to be my dearest **khakis. Haha.



10th March : Raymond came to look for us! He was so tanned yah. Met up with Steff after work, together with some of her cliques ( Jason, Roy, Terrance ). Grab a bite at Carls Junior then bro came to fetch me home. On the way, bought tao-huey home from a famous stall alongside road. This 3 days, I cant stop eating! Oops.

What else better could i do than to go snicketty-snap with my beloved camera in the toilet? :p


11th March : Feeling very moody the whole afternoon. L-O-V-E-S-I-C-K? =\ Felt better after dinner. Raymond was nice enough to come and accompany me for dinner before his bo0k-in. (Baby, don't jealous. LOL!) Initially, planned to have dinner with Steff & Jason. But Steff couldn't make it at last minute so me and Jason just grabbed a bite @ Coffee Bean Millenia Walk. Emelind and Terrance joined us later on!

Hees. I love the feeling of making new friends and chat everything under the sun over coffee.

Family fun*

Had a sumptuous meal over at my Aunt's place just now. Received another "batch" of angpaos! Wee* :p

That's Tiffany & Me ! Ain't she cute? Cant tell that she's Primary 3 ya! These lil' cousins of mine will always remain as kids to me! (:


* Boo!

A blurrish one. Find her familiar? Yes, she's the baby girl sitting beside the grandpa in the Standard Chartered Advertisement. (:


Grrrrr...! Chinese New Year is coming to an end. Hmms.. Not a good one i would reckon. Missed visiting Baby's family & relatives this year due to our " sucky " planning. Gambling Queen has lost its luck. But its okay! Thanks to you dear girls who have been constantly patronizing my lil' spree site (:

Time is precious. Very. Every second counts. In life, you will inevitably have to sacrifice something in order to get another thing. You don't expect people to sacrifice for you while you are there enjoying okay. It takes two hands to clap. I hope you will gradually come to understand what is Quality Time, and i really hope you will KNOW how to cherish the times. Thank You.
