If you wanna have some atmosphere while reading this post, click on "Blue - The Birthday Massacre" on the player on the right.

Halloween is just a week plus away!
Have you gotten any ideas what is going to be your get-up for this Halloween?
"Oh my goodness! I have got no special costume for that day! I totally sucks at creative make-up! I don't have the proper costume make-up kit!"You don't wish to dress skimpily like the other girls.

Fret not!
I'm here to help you.

The get-up I'm in for these post is really simple and super wearable!
The kind of "face" I drew was actually called SugarSkull. 
It can be sweet, dark and elegant depending on the colour you chose to use and the designs you drew. For more ideas, go Google it.



I drew my own face with cosmetic products which I believe every girl would have in their make-up pouch. 

For make-up, all you need are:
1 - Foundation (Be it liquid or powder)
2 - Black eyeliner
3 - Black and white eye shadow
4 - Red lipstick
5 - Diamantes (Purely optional)

See! All you need are these!

Go Google on the kind of SugarSkull face which you want for your Halloween.
Just to let you know,  I actually used white eyeshadow on top on my foundation to give me that pale look. It looks perfect! And don't forget your neck area!

For the stitched-mouth, I first draw in the lines with my black eyeliner and then go over it with black shadow. This is to give that bit of smudged up look.

For the Eye Socket area, I first draw an outline with a brown pencil before filling it in.
Because I didn't want to fill it in with black eyeliner, I fill it in with black eyeshadow.
But do take note! Dampen your brush a bit first before you go picking up that black on your palette.
The reason being is, this way, the black eyeshadow colour would be more intense rather than patches. This applies the same for your nose.

And if you like to, you can actually paste Diamantes to bling up the whole look.

For dressing:
1 - Black leather jacket
2 - Black leather leggings

If you have a Yukata lying around in your house, you can pair this look with it too.

For hair:
I did a faux mohawk hairstyle.
My first attempt, not too bad I must say. LOL!



It is really really simple to do. There, I have provided you the video of the tutorial below.



For accessories:
I didn't use much. Only a wooden cross and a hairpin to deco my hair.

And then there you go!
Now you can party your Halloween night stylishly!

The best part? It cost you nothing!
Not too much effort but you still look great!

 Keep watching this space as I might be posting other simple get-ups for Halloween!
All for you!

Just A Random Update

Halloween is like 2 weeks away. I don't know why I kept having the impression that Halloween is on the 10th of Oct. Halloween is definitely one of my most favorite festival, but believe it or not, I have never celebrated Halloween before. I mean it's like unlike in other countries, people still go door to door for Trick-or-Treat. But in Singapore, I am given the impression that it is about either pubbing or clubbing with scantily clad females and hopeful males. I don't know about you, but I feel that it is no different from normal days except the twist of dressing.

Halloween: The evening of October 31, the eve of All Saints' day is observed by children in costumes who solicit treats often by threatening with minor pranks.

If only I could dress up and go knocking on doors for treats.

But obviously the only treats I will be getting from doing that are only annoyed stares and probably a good hell of scoldings.

Anyway, I would be working during that day, fat chance am I going to celebrate it.

Anyway, I have started work and I am working days 6 days a week. 

Hell it is draining energy from me.

 I want to climb up the corporate ladder.

Probably aiming too high but I hope I would get what I want. I want to be a successful lady. It would definitely take time.

I applied at 2 companies for interviews.

Company A arranged an interview for me.

The first interview went pretty smoothly. The interviewer asked if I am sure I want to work there. He felt that I am 'over-qualified' for just an Admin position and could have applied for better job with better pay. I replied with a firm yes. He then proceeds on filling me with the information on the job scopes expected of me. I was pretty shocked that an admin there actually have to do sales (some more have to hit sales quota horz!) My asking pay was $1*** and he asked what is the lowest I can go, I quoted lower than $1***. I felt that it was justified since I have to do sales too and I do not get any commission from it. He asked if I am ok with working 5.5 days a week and probation pay of $1600. I thought about it and said I'm fine with it. I mean it is of no harm since I do not have sufficient working experience. He then asked me if I am sure that I want to work there and I replied "yes". With that, he arranged a second interview for me.

The second interview was with a personnel from higher management.

He too briefed me on the job scopes and I thought " So, am I going to get employed since the both of them kept briefing me on my job scopes?" And then, he saw my asking pay. He said "Hmm... $1800..." before going onto other stuffs and ended the interview with " We will call you."

I left thinking was it because my asking pay was too high? 

I later learnt that small companies don't usually pay high to their employees and love to exploit them. Never mind that. I can't complain about that.

Then I went for an interview for Company B.

And yeah! I am damn happy that I have gotten the job on the first interview! Initially I thought the interviewer was pulling my leg but hell no! Although I've got to work 6 days a week, but the probational and after-confirmation salary is way way higher than the  first company. 

Not bad for a start!


Because of the nature of my job, I have changed my dressing totally.
Guess what, my sister was so kind to sponsor me with office wear (dresses) and kept a good look-out for clothes which she thinks are suitable for work and yet kept the style I love. * Talking about having a good sister * I chose dresses which allow me to ride to work. 

For example, this...



Now the clothes in my wardrobe are collecting dusts. They are too casual to be work-attire. I have only a few pieces of office wear and I absolutely hated them. The skirt that I have doesn't allow me to ride to work and I look so skinny in it. Thank goodness I am able to ride with stilettos. But now, I often sport pumps to work for comfort. 

So far, I am pretty happy working there. It keeps me occupied and I definitely learn a lot. I am exposed to different aspects of a company's operations. There is space for growth. I feel that there is a better chance of proving myself here as compared to Company A. I will definitely work towards my goal and hopefully I will get there.
