It has got to be the Year-End-Syndrome. It takes some explaining (bear with me)... it happens every year.
I have been a clutz all my life - forgetful, muddle-head and not very meticulous. I have to try extra hard to be in the zone most of the time. It's worst when there's A LOT on my mind...especially in the last, most happening month of the year.
For example, I keep going back and forth contemplating a Christmas party/gathering. And then the thought of having to organize it floods through my mind; what to cook, who to invite, what to to prep...etc etc. Then I decide not to....but the cycle repeats again the next day.
Another epic replay I keep having in mind is what Christmas presents should i bless my friends and family with this year? Sometimes I wish I could fill their hearts with contentment and satisfaction with my one big heartfelt MERRY CHRISTMAS when I see them, maybe throw in a fuzzy hug or two to make them genuinely happy for that moment. I smile coyly at the thought of saving all trouble of head-cracking-hours-circling the malls for something adequate for each of them...but then again, what's Christmas without presents? Christmas without presents is like pooping without toilet paper. It sucks. What I don't want is the awkward moment I realized I bought someone a lame gift and it's clear she's fighting hard to gather a polite smile for you. LOL. I don't want! hence, the dilemma of Christmas Shopping.
----So these are just some examples of the (presumptuously LAME things and WORK STUFF) that clogs my mind as I go about my daily routine and as I strut about with a straight face doing what I do.
I cannot understand, and have too much going on in my tiny inadequate brain, of which nothing's being done. No Christmas list yet, no celebrations planned, not even my own wish list ---- it sucks.
But to be fair, I think there's really a lot on my plate now. I'm finally getting more involved in Willtech and Chichi's taking me on a helluva-ride. Friends, If you're still interested on what I'm up to these days - I'm still half working for Willtech and Full-Time into Chichi Entourage.
By the way, I.am.not.complaining. I love what I do.
It's just ironic how I can fiercely anticipate December so much from January until now only to be caught in a little fizzle of excitement when Christmas is finally coming... because there's so much to do and so little time! It's not helping when my bf's big on all the Nostradamus predictions and is still bent that the world will end soon, feeding me with all the morbid videos of the end days...
This year has to END WITH A BANG! Not a fizzle of smoke and dust.
So that's the dreadul part, the better part of my Year End Syndrome is my unceasing quest for vanity.
Will just name one example for this because I'd like to introduce you guys to an awesome product.
I finally attempted EYE LASH EXTENSIONS!!!

| Jae thinks it made me look darn chio but of cus he will.. LOL. |
I think for those who have met me earlier in the month would have noticed..Old news to some but I have to rave! Read a review that Vain Beauty only charges $50 for their extensions so decided to give it a try. I don't know what made me want to do it so much, cus I remember Peacy trying to convince me months back but I was against it and all... Look now I have to eat my words back.
I can't say it's really that awesome because I thought my eyes could never open again after the therapist was done with planting them, only to find out it's because of eyes were taped. hahaha... very funny right. And my eyes were a tad irritated from the glue, plus I keep feeling heavy-lids cus I wasn't used to it. I don't even stick on false lashes to begin with so except for superficially making me feel prettier, I don't think it's an amazing thing to do. And shucks I did not consider the fact that my precious REAL lashes could fall off entirely during removal. omg. Don't even wana start on how I have to carefully remove my make-up and wash my face everyday. SBS. The price of vanity.

| Don't know how this triple-lid developed. I am pissed. It never happened to me before! Must be the falsies! |
More on vanity, another quick rave about this awesome product I've got introduced to by my sister:
 |
| La Roche-posay Physiological Cleansing Gel |
Been sticking to Avene's mild cleanser since my Dr Loke days and genuinely thought that was the answer to my ultra sensitive skin before. I was bent on using it forever more but THIS just exceeded my expectations. Ferts was recommended this by her dermatologist (another long story for another day) and she asked me to try it...and i instantly fell in love with it!
The gel texture was super lush yet gentle to the skin so much that it doesn't mess with the natural PH Balance of your skin (very important!) It consists of Poloxamer, a cleansing ingredient so mild that it's also used in contact lense solutions, talk about gentle??? And the soothing scent was definitely a PLUS for me because it just feels like SPA every time I cleanse my face. That's not even the best part. You know how certain cleansers leave your skin feeling clean and soft, but is usually drying. This product is totally different because my skin actually felt clean and supple.
My rule of thumb for beauty products is always that so long as it does not irritate my precious irritable skin and I genuinely feel it's effectiveness with just ONE use, I'd definitely be sold.
Been a long time since I felt this happy with a facial product besides my trusty Clarisonic Plus adn Lancome products. So friends, do give this a try if you're thinking of changing your cleanser because I am quite sure you won't be disappointed (:

Finally, I'd be updating soon on some kick-ass events that happened recently. It's going to be a long overdue one as usual... but I haven't got to consolidating the pictures and I HAVE TO START WITH MY CHRISTMAS LIST AND PART-PLANNING!!!
By the way, I am a tad annoyed by the 3 for $10 Christmas compilation music coming from the neighbours. I feel like I'm part of their party without invitation. Am contemplating if I should blast Michael Buble to silence them. LOL.
