A Flower

I have a flower, solemnly planted in my heart
Which in turn, harbours a collection of vague feelings felt within the heart
Throughout the daylight and noctime
Just like any other emotions filled mortal
I waited patiently for the fated someone...
To enter my dream

A flower,
That sways in the mortal world
A flower,
That gracefully dances with the wind
I hope for a pair of warm and gentle hands
To ease the loneliness and insecurities felt within the heart

A flower,
With floral scent sweetly permeates the entire stem
Who will come with a genuine heart...
To seek the fragrance and set it free with a true intention?

A flower,
Does not bloom for eternity but ever so shortly
Extreme weather of the summer or
During the cold winter
After enduring all it could
A flower,
Breaks and fall

Just like a woman
That resembles a flower
Beauty and admiration,
Exists ever so temporarily...
Like a dream

I have a flower in my heart
That will continue to harvest
A true passion and its true love
That is not understood by anyone

But why?
As the wild weeds have already conquered the entire hill
It is most painful to be a lonely fragrance that may only elicit self admiration

If ever
You smell a thick lingering floral scent
Never to ask
For whom the flower blooms

Having loved before, the severity of passion is known
Having hurt before, the severity of intensed pain is known
Having drunk before, the possessive alcohol content of liquor is known

Fate does not pause
It comes and it goes
Like the wind of the spring

A woman's beauty resembles a flower
While a flower exists only ever so temporarily...
Just like a dream

24 Hours

Oopsie DoOpsie! Looks like I failed to fulfill my promise of updating my blog at least once a week... *sigh* It's really easier said than done, huh? :P July had been a cricket dead month for me and August IS KEEPING ME OCCUPIED 24/7!!! That includes sleeping, pee and poo and no single second to feel emo at all... not any chance by all means :D ~it's a pretty good feeling actually, at least I feel rejuvenated and almost 100% emo-free~ :P (Rejuvenated: That was the card that I drew during Tarot Card reading :P)

So what are the things that have kept me so busy for the past day and week.. ermS.. Basically, my homework and assignments accumulated from make up class and also getting my portfolios done! Hell, I hate paperwork :S but still have to do it :( My SKM examination is around the corner and I'm still half past six, needa catch up!!!

Anyways.. lets have a look at my "hardwork" hee...

(make up assignments are all about eyes, eyes, eyes and MORE eyes!!!! Grrr..)

these are just 6 out of 24 eyes I patiently coloured with....

My recently purchased professional set of make up brushes with real eyeshadows and not colour pencilsssss :D

quite a costly assigment...

but i enjoy playing with colours :P

Other than that, I have to illustrate 12 pairs of eyebrowssS.. that's really patient testing!!!

notice that the eyes come without any brows and to illustrate it out of the blankness is.. GRRRrr

Illustration in progress

one after another... *breathe in breathe out.. &^%#*%%Q@#$!!!

Just this afternoon, I got my student card. NOOB FACE!!!!

The front of my S.C

back of my S.C

And basically this week, I learn alot about Manicure and Pedicure and tomorrow is Waxing! :P Kinda looking forward to it!!! House of WAX! And today while I was loitering around outside the practical room, ogling at the certificates of the fellow tutors, I realised that there are grades for the certificates, either certificate with Credit, Distinction or Honours and my jaw dropped when Su Ann's CIBTAC was awarded with Honours.. Hmm.. What a motivation :P

Next week I ll be having my 2 weeks external course, made compulsory by our government to suck a fortune from us... ArGhh.. Core abilities, first aid and fire fighting... Aihz.. At the time being, kindly bear with my inactive blog but I'll try my best to keep it updated at least once a week :P I still haven't quite settled down for the 1st month in Stella In :P

See MeeZ! :)

MANmaids

Uh-oh! Looks like the dead blog announcer is back on track!!! And this time I didn't manage to escape from being labelled :O Apong arr, cannot give some allowance to the busy bee one meh? Must do until so chuit cheng.. aihzZ~ :P

Anyways, it has been 2 weeks since I started my course and everyday is really a busy day. Pack unpack, revise and practice, rush and stress.... it's not that easy actually. However, I enjoy it tremendously (not the 7 layers make up!) :) What I'm hoping for at the end of the day is that all my hardwork does really pay off :)

Well, well, well...Lets skip bout the course since this post is not made for it as my topic lies mainly on... MANmaids :P MANmaids? Hahaha.. YerPs! Get it right, it's MANmaids not MANMADES alright??? Hahaha :P

Naaa, here's your MANmaid!

does anyone recognize this guy???


Nevermind if you can't, let me refresh your memory... :)
He was the legendary swimmer...

IAN THORPE the massive THORPEDO!!!

Back then, the "friendship" between Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe resembles the "friendship" Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei are sharing now :D But ever since Ian Thorpe announced his official retirement from the pool, Michael Phelps is now the dominator in Beijing Olympics 2008!

The thing about Michael Phelps is... him with his swim suit on and him with his swim suit off erms.. totally looks like 2 different people! Lolz! Do you get what I mean?? Nvm if you are not... Picture says a thousand words.. :P

Let us enjoy some real *~*eye candies*~*, shall we?

Michael Phelps in butterfly style...

makes me wanna drown~

oh my god.. the body~ *me melts*

Michael Phelps in breast stroke!

with style comes his pride

ErmS...

ARGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! (his trunk is superbly LOW!)

*should it be lower??* >.<

ROArrrrrrRRRR

his trunk retro pun laa~ HAHA!

So, we've seen the OOOhHh La La~ side of Michael Phelps, that is him with his swim suit on anyways! Without them... there's just something wrong about him, somewhere.. somehow! :P

Noob heat pose #1

that smile... ermsS.. there's just smth very wrong with it! :P

But him with the Caesar Salad crowned on him...

LAGI WRONG!!!

Haha! So that was what I mean. Now you get it, don't ya? :P I guess, nobody is perfect in anyway :) But anyhow, I still adore his fantastic performance regardless of his looks :P

Apart from him, there's also another great contender (but losing already this time! :P). Anyhow, he's still my all time favourite too! Aiya.. competitions got ups and downs apa.. At least he pawned people before.. but *&^%#$% Lee Chong Wei!

Aaron Peirsol!

The backstroke specialist!

But unlike Michael Phelps, Aaron is quite noob when comes to screenshots!

Lols... the best description I can make about this pose is.. he's propably applying sunblock?? :P

Errr for this one...

he looks innocent pun neeh.. HAHA! :P

For a closer look...

yea yea.. I know I know.. he looks old right but heck! You guys should know Choya's fetish right? :D

But then, this fetish may not hold true all the time.. especially when there are young and hot stuff available... :P

Pieter Van Den Hoogenband!!!

sungguh memberangsangkan nafsu! HAHA!

He's a Dutch anyways...

OooHh~ Swimmers are SoooO HOT !;)

And Apong!!! My blog is still ALIVE!!!! >.<

Vision Alive

Well well well... My blog was dead for a few days, I know! :P But before it gets rotten any further, I better refresh it with a new piece of post if not, the dead blog announcer is just around the corner to RUN HIS ROUTINE!

Actually, this post is going to be ALL WORDS NO PICTURE post as I don't seem to have any nice pictures around to show to you guys about my progress in Stella In. There's really no time for pictures too as once I step into the class first thing in the morning, I have to rush to set up trolley for my practice in the afternoon. Mostly, my tutor would do theory in the morning then practical after lunch.

My first week lesson is all bout Facial Therapy.

Maybe there's one picture after all.. :P

basically.. this is my everyday school bag..

Before I started the course, I was wondering like.. are these people trying to be wannabes or what by carrying such a big luggage bag daily to class? Lolz... Now, I'm one of them... Hahahaha! But, it's not silly but the FACT IS THT WE HAVE ALOT OF THINGS TO BRING!!!!! Just imagine this is only for Facial Therapy, when comes manicure pedicure & make-up, I really doubt this size of my bag suffice!

But to me, it worths all this hassle because I really enjoy what I'm doing right now. I must say that it's really an awakening period of my life that I somehow feel that my vision is alive. It's like the feeling of being in the class everyday feels like a fantasy.. I'm not exaggerating :) Sometimes before I close my eyes and set sail to dreamland, I'd ask myself, is this a dream and I have to wake up the next moment I open up my eyes?

At the first few days of my class, I really had some hard time trying to mingle with the students there as they speak in Mandarin ALL THE TIME and I'm the only student who's speaking in English with the tutor. Well, Su Ann (my current tutor) is a really nice and talented person, very very beautiful too. You won't guess that she's even 30+ and has 2 kids.. And I never get bored of her lessons as she's very professional during lessons and at the same time very likeable and has a pretty good sense of humour! :P When you look at her, you'll know what I mean :) Nowadays, you can't be a good beautician without a brain unlike those were the days :P

No doubt that the other students lack in urmm English but then they really have skills in practical lor.. Haha! Dunno if I'm new or is it they are really that good? :P In the class we have a mixture of people. Some eventually are dropouts and some eventually are graduates from Uni but then realised their passion lies somewhere else, that is here in beauty :P

So we take turns to become the model and the therapist and it's really fun. Serious work but then it's pretty therapeutic to me lor.. Haha! Feel the customer~ :P No doubt sometimes it's frustrationg I couldn't get the steps right but then it makes me feel like.. I WANNA DO MORE DO MORE AND MORE BUT NOT QUIT! Hee! I hope this is a good sign :)

So far, the best experience in the class for me would be... MAKING MY OWN MASK! Haha... We are taught the methods and recipes to making masks that cater to many many different skin types and conditions and it was awesome! There were ingredients for us, so all we have to do is just to mix them up and POOP, KOKOCRUNCH! :P I've tried for oily and sensitive only as my partner has that condition. The ingredients were some kind of witch hazel, rose water and calamine mixed together! :P

One thing that's pretty hard for me is to remember the products in sequence because we are using French products and the names of the range are really really hard to pronounce like... eau demaquillante, lait demaquillante, lotion moussante douce/ peau grasse, emulsion gommante, concentre peau seche.. and bla bla bla... :P

Basically, that's pretty all about my course that I can update you at the moment as I'm feeling very very very sleepy now while typing this whole thing. Haha! I know I make alot of grammar mistakes but just excuse me.. Hee! Till here and I shall update you guys soon about the upcoming events in my course! Haha! Sayonara-O!

Pom PomSss

I definitely agree that dogs are every man's bestfriends. Whether they are hi-end breeds or strays, the measure of their loyalties will always be the same. You love them, they love you. It doesn't matter whether they are big or are they small, whether they are super gorgeous or are they not, just like anyone of us humans, they have emotions too..

I love dogs. Almost all kinds... A-Z.. but my prime attention goes to Pomeranians or Poms in short. I think they are the most elegant small breed dogs alive :P And the most special thing about them is.. they don't seem to emit any body odour as compared to most of the other breeds. Don't say if you don't bathe them for more than a week laa. Any dog also will smell bad in that matter laa :P But nothing is perfect in this world, Poms are also known as the most fragile small breed dogs in terms of their healths. So, I'd to be really delicate and careful when taking care of Mikey :) Moreover, he's a pure breed from China and generally pure breeds are much more fragile compared to mixed.

My mum's bestfriend, Leong Uncle is a dog breeder and he personally loves Poms too. Recently, there's a new Pom in his house and he invited us over to play with the new puppy!!! And he's soooo CUTE!!!!

A white Pom!!

His name is Mark and only 4 months old!

Very very very cheeky and energetic. Bites everything and he SCOLDS anyone that blocks his way!!! :O

Generally, Poms come in several colours, depending on the factor whether they are pure breeds or mixed.. but white's definitely GORGEOUS :)

So FluFfyy~~

Urmmm.. then what about black Poms??? :)

Jeez~ they exist????

Yes, they do darling~~ :P

Erm... cool pun neeh! Haha...

A black Pom when is a Pup... Hee!!

innocent pun neeh~

And then, there are RED Poms too!!!

OMG... did you just say RED???

Hmmm... YES! :)

And here it is....!!

Erm don't ask me why it's called Red but then they just don't seem to be Red rite? Haha!

So, Mikey's actually a Red Pom too. Haha!

Hi ladies~ M to the I to the K. E. Y!

Sometimes he looks more like a teddy bear than a dog :P

Me love honey and say NO to dog foodie~

Caught SLEEPING IN THE CAR!!!

Free air cond~ NiteS everyone :P

CAUGHT STEALING!!!!!!

WhhOOooooPsie DoooOOsieee!

Actually a Pom's hair has to be long and many people had asked me before why I do not want to keep long hair for Mikey. The answer is simple... IKLIM KHATULISTIWA.. PANAS DAN LEMBAP SEPANJANG TAHUN DI MALAYSIA! It's really a hassle to keep his hair long under this kinda weather in Malaysia unless I keep him inside an air conditioned room 24/7 and ready to splurge RM1K monthly for electricity bills!!!

But he's cute with short hair too maa rite. Looks more clean cut and yeng zhai... Long hair is so retro~ Lolz! Okay, it's time to go!!! ByeS!!!!

Choya In

Oh MY GoDDDD!!! August is here!!! HAHAHAHAHHAA! I don't have to sit down at home randoming around anymore!!! I've finally got something to do.. I'm saying.. F.I.N.A.L.L.Y :D

It's so the time to....

Eight is indeed a good number!!!

fatt fatt fatt FATT FATTT FATTT!!!!

Lets not talk about Public Uni appeal anymore, shall we? It's not that I don't care about my education but it's just that I'd probably done everything that I could. I just can't help it if the Government actually chooses to OVERLOOK us- the average students. They pay MORE attention to the bright ones and sadly, MOST to the HELPLESS :) It's not the end of the world for me, I've got backup plans after all.. Hee!

"You talk so much Choya! What's your backup plan?"

Well, I've finally signed up my Beauty and Skin Therapy Course in Stella In!!!

goodie bag bag bag bag BAG!!!

Yerps, actually this is not a sudden decision at all. I've been pondering very long for an opportunity to launch this decision, even before STPM. Haha! It's not actually a big dream but then just something I know I'd enjoy doing. Meeting and helping people to look better. Beauty is something that will never get out of trend so long as the law of opposite attraction applies! Haha!!!

Actually, this may sound easy but it's not really too. I was told by the Chief Tutor, Mdm. Poh Jeen that the course is not entirely about hands on and practical stuff only but come along TEXTBOOKS! When I heard that, I was like... I've sold all my old textbooks away and now come a new batch?? :P But at least I know, I can catch up since I have a background in Biology! So, my interest for Biology is not in vain!! :P And Siew Lay, do you remember Yveline? Haha.. SHe repeated again the lines... "Chapalang chapalang.." Lolz!

Hmm.. I'm LOST PUN NEEH!!! So much to be mastered for my exams at the end of 1 year. Yerps.. 1 year course with 3 diplomas (M'sia, UK, Swiss) and 1 recognition certificate (SKM). The entire course fee is RM8,500 excluding examinations which are around RM3,000. And still! Have to purchase this and that...

These are some of the things I just got today... not complete yet AT ALL...

The front of my uniform....

the back of my uniform

Treatment gown...

A dozen of facial towelssssS...

That's basically all for today that I got from them. The rest they will give me during my orientation on Sunday. Hmm.. Alot of things to carry to class everyday except LAPTOP :)

When I was trying my uniform, Mdm. Poh Jeen was entertaining my mum and somehow after they'd talked, my mother kinda like... supporting my decision to take up this course. For once she didn't mention about, GOING UNI infinity times... God bless :)

Then after that me and my mum went for dinner at the basement, this new shop having very nice interior.. one that resembles a FUNERAL OCCASION. The one that Jin Wei commented when we were looking for food after Hellboy, the setting was too much HAHHA! I agree... :P

kua pao... ho chiak pun neeh!!!

Basically, I have a mixture of feelings right now. Excited and also nervous. This is the first time that my family has to fork out so much money for me to study, I must not take it lightly. I know I have the interest but at the same time, I'm pretty scared too... Hmmph... And there's a special person I'd like to thank most other than Hai Uncle..

My NOOB BRO...

He's the main sponsor! *I'll be serious about this!*

And also not forgetting his gf, Chin for being very very very supportive too.. Actually the list goes on.. Hahahha! I've got many thanks to many other people too.. Mum, Pei (Chin's sister), and all my friends for listening to me during the days I was having a bad time deciding about my future.

CheeRsss everyone... for the welcoming of Choya's first step of the journey of a thousand miles ;)

pick your drink honey.. it's my treat.. HAHA! e-drinks

Before I end my post, I have a prime question which erm... I hope you guys don't mind to give a 10 seconds thought about it and help me to decide whether I should name my nametag: CHOYA or TUNG HING.... Lols.. It's easier for people to remember you in this line if you have a fancy name but then... will people remember the name TUNG HING??? :P HelP!!!

Sekian, harap maklum... :P
