Crocs at the gym...

The College Square gym has the stoopidest people inside...

Some work out in flip flops...
Others in denim jeans...
But the worst of all are those who work out in Crocs!!!

Seriously?! I could lift heavier weights than those "boys". Not only do they lift like err nothing but they do like 3 repetitions then take a break.

DIY Spa a la Kimberley

Today was pamper me day, not for any special occasion but just because I felt like it.

I went for my Macroecons tute early in the morning then I took a nap from like 11.30am till 5pm. I made Chinese noodles with carrot, mushroom and chicken for dinner. After debating on whether or not to go to the gym, I decided that I deserved a break from all that cardio. Vendetta was the colour of choice for my nails.

After my nails were painted, I sung songs while waiting for them to dry. I love singing, it destresses me. Although, my neighbours must hate it.

Here's what I did for my DIY spa...
(* represent my daily routine/ - represents something special)
- In the shower, Clarins body scrub (I think this is the first time I've ever done a full body scrub).
* Washed my hair (nothing special there).
* Clarins gentle foaming cleanser for dry or sensitive skin.
- Out of the shower, Kiehls rare earth deep pore cleansing masque on my face and neck (usually I don't do my neck but today, I felt like it). I must say, the Kiehls mask is really good for minimizing those visible pores on your face.
- Washed it off after 10 minutes with a damp cloth.
* Brushed my teeth.
* Toned using my Clarins toning lotion for normal or dry skin.
* Moisturized using my Kiehls sodium PCA "oil-free" moisturizer for the face and Kiehls creme de corps for the body.
* And who could forget my Kiehls #1 lip balm.
- Leave-in conditioner Kiehls hair conditioner and grooming aid formula 133 for all hair types.
* Blow dry.

I feel like a million bucks. Although most of those things are done on a daily basis, those few little extras make me feel like I'm glowing...

God Is Good!

When I logged out of msn, I saw a video from Channel NewsAsia, it was an interview with Carrie Underwood. Carrie Underwood performing in Singapore!! Mum called me shortly after saying that there was a full page in the newspaper saying that Carrie Underwood would be performing at Ion Orchard at 6.30pm for the official opening or something like that.

Carrie Underwood is the reason I love Rascal Flatts! The first time I heard a Rascal Flatts song was when she sung Bless The Broken Road with Gary LeVox on American Idol. Rascal Flatts is my favourite band of all time!!! Natty idolizes Carrie Underwood and I knew it would mean the world to her if she got to meet Carrie Underwood.

I tried my luck with Christopher, Jo and Ian but to no avail. Who was I kidding?? I'm 19 years old, I don't know anyone who knows anyone at Ion. Even if I could find some long line of connections to connect me to someone at Ion, there was only like 2 hours till her performance. So I prayed to the Lord to somehow allow Natty and Carrie Underwood to meet.

I just received a call from a screaming Natty. She got to take a photo with Carrie Underwood and she got Carrie Underwood's autograph addressed to Nathania. Apparently her best friend's mum's friend works at Ion so they all got to meet Carrie Underwood before her performance. Praise the Lord!

Why wasn't I there... :s

<3 My Sweet Escape...

I spend so much money on movies. The funny thing is, I can't seem to remember what the movie is about after I step out of the cinema (ok maybe that's an exaggeration but you get the picture). Sometimes I can't even remember if I've watched the movie or not (but that's after some time). So why do I do it? Why do I spend so much on movie tickets?

Because it's my sweet escape. For 1.5 hours I completely lose myself, I am completely immersed in the movie. I can forget about assignments, deadlines, the up-coming examinations, how lonely I am in my tiny apartment, how much I miss that little girl, everything just goes away for that short period of time.

Sara used to live vicariously through me and all my shenanigans but at the moment, both our lives are so uneventful. So now I live vicariously through the characters in the movies, I feel their pain, their excitement and their joy. I know how sad that sounds but all our lives can't be so exciting all the time right? Now is just a low for me, I'll get out of this slump soon.

I've even started reading. For all of those of know me, it's a well known fact that I was "allergic" to books. "Kimberley Ong reads one book a year" was probably an overstatement. But now, I find that I can lose myself in books too. It gives me another form of escape so I read.

I've just finished reading "Chasing Harry Winston" and "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger. I'm actually putting off reading another book because I'm afraid I won't enjoy it as much as those books. That and the fact that I probably should study.

So here I am, waiting for something/someone exciting to pop into my life and take me on a journey...

Congrats to Bryan and Jesslina, they look so cute together.
On Friday at Seven, when she was sitting on the sofa and he was squatting next to the sofa talking to her, he sparkled. He lit up when he looked at her.

I miss that. I want someone to look at me and sparkle. I want to look at someone and be that happy. Completely, perfectly and incandescently happy. Just knowing that that special someone is there makes everything okay.

I remember before Ian and I we ever kissed. It was just before tuition and he was at my house. We were both sitting on the floor next to my bed when he put his hand on my head. He started stroking my hair and I knew he wanted to kiss me but he didn't dare. When he put his hand on my head, I had chills down my spine. That belly flop, exciting feeling when you're first getting close to someone. I miss the feeling...

Of course I like the certainty that comes with a long-term relationship as oppose to the volatility of a new relationship starting out. I like my other half knowing my likes and dislikes from experience and vice versa. I like being comfortable enough around that person to be able to relax and be myself.

Both a budding relationship and a relationship in full bloom have their pros and cons. I on the other hand, have nothing. Zip, zilch, zero! For the first time in my life, I'm single and I have been single for the longest time. Now I can say I've been there, done that but now it's time to move on. This single thing is getting old.

I am by no means lowering my own peculiar standard but I just wish that Mr Right/Mr Right-for-now would hurry up and come my way. So wherever you are Mr Right/Mr Right-for-now, come find me quick quick okay?


XOXO
