New look for my blog. Why One-2-Zero? This was my nickname during Secondary school days as the Beng Seng and Lian Huay clans could not get my name right so one brilliant guy decided to make things simple and hence the "name".

Charsiew told me I've been attending crash courses of late. Last weekend was flower arrangement, and today, 3 hr makeup workshop with Bobbi Brown.

The workshop itself was not as fun as I like it to be, but some of the participants were quite interesting to observe. The lady next to me lamented that her dark eye rings are quite prominent. Let me start by saying it was already prominent in the first place (quite bad actually) and with the help of concealer it did look better. But then when she slapped on the eye shadow, panda resurfaced... because this is mauve look, my dear. The look is smoky eyes created by shades of brown and charcoal. So what do you think?

Then you have the kiasu participant who will apply more than what is necessary. One lady did it all. Too much moisturizer and sunblock and when she had her blusher on she looked like a baboon . Overall, I did pick up some good tips and Hub thinks the look is nice, so it was money well spent.

P.S. No photo to show off as the eyeliner had smudged by the time I got home 5 hrs later...

National Day Perks 2008

This is my earlist blog thus far because I just finished one of my essays due today.

Ladies in the office and almost everyone on the street are talking about the latest NDP perks. The most talked about is the extended maternity leave, 4 months to be exact. Unfortunately it's implementable in Jan 09, so my dear friends who are due this year gotta bang balls as it's kinda of close and yet so far. Well, the only thing that interests us is the IVF bit. Hub brought back the kaypoh evening papers and I tried to read up it but catch no ball. Will get Hub to explain tomorrow. Am very sleepy already... time to snooze.

Hub said he's been hearing so much feedback about boss from me that he could write a book. And so he asked me to dedicate a part of my blog to those daily feedbacks. I will try lah, no promise I will have things to write everday... Today he asked me what to do with his expense cheque; offered to quick cheque for him last week but he no hiu me so I boh chup too. Guess what? He still lives in the stone age, because he said he dun trust quick cheque and would rather queue in line and even though the bank tellers told him to use the facility he insisted on the 'traditional' banking service. Luckily I'm not seen with him at the bank, otherwise it's damn malu. What an oddball.

Why am I still up? What else.... working on assignments, all due in 3 week's time, back-to-back. How exciting.

2 new colleagues started work today so we had welcome lunch at M Hotel. True to what I've heard they do have quite a good spread but lacks quality. The Otah tasted a bit sour; the prata, nicely sliced up, was too crispy and there was not even a decent serving of curry to go with it. But their durian mousse was good. C absolutely hates durian and made a nasty comment calling the King of fruits toilet custard. Huh?!!!! Ok to not appreciate the fruit but no need to so blatant, right? Tsk tsk... Already topping the hate list, with this, C will now move on to the dart board.

Someone told me today she is not at all proud that Team Singapore finally clinched silver medals for our nation 48 years later. That someone said they are afterall imported talent. To make matters worse, we are the paymaster of their rewards... this is so true. Taxpayer's money, my money...
