I walked into the photographing studio today and was immediately ushered into the makeup room, which was so girly, because they had huge mirrors and bright pink chairs. And the make up er aunty was in bright pink too. Anyway she helped me make up. I thought my eye shadow was yucky and the eye liner too (cos it was dark blue and not black.. maybe if i had black eye liner, i’ll look as if somebody punched me in the eyes). But if you stand about 5 steps away from me and look, i think it’s not bad..
I had somebody to robe me up and make me look nice and scholarly.
I was so secretly excited in the studio. With the dim lightings. And this guy fussing around me, putting my robe in place and my hair, taming any stray strands, and telling me how to pose and arranging EVERYTHING on me, including my thumbs, fingers, motar board.. I don’t know if you’ve taken studio photos before, but muahhaha i felt very very pampered. I just had to stand there smile and look pretty. No need much modelling genes la.. just smile only. And it did add to the excitement that the guy fussing around me is really quite good looking. *sigh*
My dad on the other hand, didn’t enjoy the experience at all, he felt very manipulated, with all the adjusting of minor things. (eg: relax your thumbs, don’t fan out your fingers, cross your arms, etc, etc.. ) haha maybe it’s just a girl thing to feel that somebody “Adjusting” you.. is actually quite pampering. I’m center of attention leh. Esp for the individual shots. muahha shoik.
And then while walking out of the studio, and seeing the other section where wedding photos were taken. I was thinking that i might like the whole process of taking my wedding photos….PLUS! i was looking at the sample wedding album… ahhh
A girl can dream right….
It’s currently 10:20pm and usually on a typical normal weekday, I’ll be in bed by now, either reading something or in the state of semi consciousness and dream world. But it’s different today because I had dinner late (like at 9:15pm) so with all the rumors of gaining weight if one sleeps straight after dinner, i bravely bear the consequences of a less than 8 hours of sleep and venture in to unknown territory of sleeping later than 10pm. This courage was also fan up by the 1hr of nap that i had in the afternoon on the computer table.
To prevent myself from actually caving into temptation, I decided to update my blog with current happenings of my life.
School has been great.. as usual. Except for that minor hiccup on monday when i was forcibly volunteered to lead Singspiration (it’s like worship but more upbeat i guess) on our Fun nite (yes it’s spelled this way). I wasn’t very willing maybe because i didn’t want to get caught into the same situation of doing something just because i had the obligation to do it yet my heart isn’t in it. So i end up trying to psycho myself to do it properly while finding God’s purpose in it. I know it’s not so serious in this context, but i guess past experience does shape current perspectives of similiar context. But God graciously talked to me, and so I’m dealing better with this issue. I realise that much of the discontentment/discouragement/disappointment comes from one of the root source in my life. So now that I’m aware, it’s easier to surrender it to God. It’s difficult to surrender something which you have no idea of, right?
Other than that, a little laziness and routineness has gradually creeped in, with it being the 5th week of school and the body adapts to the early timing and constant presence of food (physically and spiritually) so one tends to take things more for granted. So it was a timely reminder by our Dean (who is now back in school after 2 weeks! yay!) to not sink into this state of inertia and miss the purpose with which we came to school for. And to continue keeping that expectation high. It wasn’t coincidence that she picked out a verse that I’ve been thinking of during the weekend either. She’s been doing that so often that it’s sometimes scary.
This week is learning all about the Holy Spirit. Which is a good topic. Something much needed since the Holy Spirit is so close to us.
Oh i was suddenly reminded that i need to make a trip down to facebook to look at the many photos. I heard that they had a lot of fun during the class outing. I… was asleep at home during that time. But Fun nite’s coming up with their retro theme (what to wear what to wear what to wear) and the 2nd class outing (to Night Safari- for the foreign students). They are really very simple and lovable people.
i want to cut hair.
