18 days to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I used to think cosmetics can cover all flaws of the skin. But now I think clear, unblemished face is real beauty. I drew up a skincare regime and adhere to it dilligently, hoping to keep the lines of age at bay. This may sound ridiculous for I'm all but 20 years old but already I can feel wrinkles, blotches lurking underneath my skin, waiting to establish its reign.
I like the look of natural, rejuvenated complexion. The feeling of youth. It's ironic that girls in their teens wish to hurry into womanhood, only to start chasing after youth in their thirties. For me, I'm keeping my youth. And the first step is loving my skin :)

Bo Bice
It's no secret that I'm a fan of rock & heavy metal. Bo's version of Inside your Heaven is more unique compared to Carrie Underwood's. Though I think the lyrics carries a huge dose of Carrie flavour (pun intended). Inside your Heaven is too soft for a rocker but nonetheless a sufficient platform for progress.
Toast to rock. :)

A Tale about Dogs
If you're wondering what I've been up to nowadays...it's Golden Retriever Obsession. Our house has always housed dogs for as long as I can remember. We've had rottweiler, doberman, chow chow, maltese, daschund and German shepherd. Our family is divided into two legions -- the guard dogs supporter (i.e. my dad) and the family companion dog fan (i.e. the rest of the family, I assumed).
I admit I'm a jumpy spider around these canines but who wouldn't if they had been chased down by a doberman before? And if you're wondering how a doberman looks like, here it is
These boys do not run; they gallop. My doberman made me realised I am capable of extraordinary speed in times of catastrophy. Nevertheless, I'll rather not find out under such a peculiar, compromising circumstance.
Due to the recent spate of vicious dog attacks on humans
#1 A boy charged down by a rottweiler, resulting 103 stitches for the former.
#2 A middle-aged woman fell to her death while escaping from a rottweiler.
there are more cases but these two occupied the most newpaper coverage. People's sentiments towards guard dogs have took a dramatic turn in my state. In the early 90's, rottweiler was THE rage. Doberman is preferred as co-workers in the bureau and security force though some do keep them as household pets.
In my father's words, "Of what use are dogs if they are not fierce?" I beg to differ though. I've nothing against the rottweilers we have now. They've more sense than to run down innocent bypassers. Hostility is reserved for strangers and trepassers. But a friendly golden retriever will make a good pet too.
Yesterday afternoon mum commented that she missed the days she kept her dogs, a rottweiler and a German shepherd in the house. The boys were extremely well-trained which never fail to put me in awe of their doggish behaviour. 2 top tricks:
1. They could open doors all the way from the backyard to my parents' bedroom on the second floor.
2. They relieved themselves in the toilet and queue up outside if the toilet is occupied.
Dogs make loyal companions, possessing a human quality which my mum called ren xin, with time. We have an ongoing rat-destroying campaign now. Because rats are so crafty and mouse-trap smart, anyone who can manage to catch a rat is really, really lucky and smart. I didn't join in the rat-destroying force but our dogs did. Feifei caught a fat, bulging rat singlehandedly. However, she didn't dispose of it in the bin as per normal. Instead she placed it in front of her paws, keeping a vigilant watch on it until my dad returned in the evening. When dad came home, feifei went up to him with the rat. Even dogs know how to please their masters.
I reckon it's fallacious to say all guard dogs are a menace to Man. If balanced with ren xin, the latent brutal nature can be suppressed. They can be tamed and dosmesticated. As for the born friendly golden retrievers, I don't know if we'll get one. But my brother is saving up for the 1800 bucks golden.

I'm an ill-fated biz student.
My marketing lecture lasts me till 9.30pm.
My school days end no earlier than 5pm.
Who else among others are as unfortunate as yours truly?
Remarks:
On Your Fashion Style is Classic
1. My capsule wardrobe is operating on a shoestring budget rather than a fashion philosophy.
2. My choice of garb serves to conceal rather than show my mortal body.
On Your Aura is Red
1. Food from my wok are palatable to a platoon of feisty, starved soldiers only. To prepare a feast for otherwise normal human beings is quite impossible at the moment.
2. Scapels stimulate a Parkinson-disease-like symptom in my hands. I should leave the higher calling of a surgeon to the gifted few.
3. My mum is the person-in-charge of my arts & crafts assignments right till high school. Perhaps she can be the architect and I be her secretary. lol
I want my black hair BACK.
