well u see, i just see it as a disgrace that you should be snubbing ur own fellow people for their english. maybe it wasn’t u, but ur bunch of stila’s fans! babes sure sounded like they looked down on singaporeans just for their lack of perfect english. (which they ain’t too perfect with either. i’d like to be nitpicky and point out that *LOL* is an SMS slang too. so how about typing out *Laughing Out Loud* from now on yeah?)
and so i expect you will be applying for australian PR very soon since you wouldn’t be able to *stand* the singaporean english too much. i hope aussieland welcomes u. you are, after all, the Ultimate Singapore Girl in Australia.
thanks for doing singapore proud, our next annabelle chong.
oooh. sharp. my little evil heart is wounded.

Awww.. I’m sure they don’t look down on Singaporeans for the way they speak/write. It’s always nice to respect cultures and speak a language perfectly (ie. if you’re going to speak english, speak english. If you’re going to speak mandarin, speak mandarin), but when you’re trying to prove a point or argue with someone, it’s always a good plan to come across as educated and well-informed.
And yup! I sure am applying for PR 🙂 The SG job market’s not too good at the moment and it’s always good to have international experience when I go back to SG in a few year’s time.
Sorry to disappoint, but my degree is in Computer Science and Psychology. I’m glad you’re so interested in me that you read my journal repeatedly and surf the net for me though! It’s really an honour when someone actually spends time each day finding out about you 🙂
Oh, and you should stop making sweeping generalisations and saying fellow-Singaporeans have “a lack of perfect english”. Only some do, not all. You should be more proud and optimistic about your country!

ooh! ahh! *squeal* i lurrrrrrrrrve this color! i lurrrrrrrrve that color! should i buy this? or should i buy that? i NEEEEEED both! *sulk*
gimme a break.
and with all the nation-building and bonding things they have in singapore i’m surprised to see you girls *byatching* about a fellow singaporean who just quite snubbed u a little about ur web-building skills. why should u have to stoop to his/her *level* and be bitchy back? could’ve just left her msg unattended to. then she’ll leave u alone as well.
and so you think that u’re above the rest of the singaporeans just because you study in AUSSSSSSIELAND and thus make fun of ur fellow people for their SMS-ish slangs?
respect the cultures of different lands, woman. grow up.

Actually, I wasn’t aware that was SMS-slang. I just thought it was extremely bad english. After all, if one is to write in amy language, WRITE IT PROPERLY. Simple as that. As you said, “respect the cultures” – in other words, respect and don’t butcher a language.
But if you think that studying in Australia makes us above fellow Singaporeans, then that’s your opinion *shrug*
Honestly, it never fails to amaze me how people can REGULARLY read a journal of someone they don’t like, then criticise their thoughts. A journal is a place to voice your likes, dislikes and opinions. So *obviously* I’m going to voice mine. Don’t like it? Leave.
🙂
Oh along the lines of a journal being (amazing enough) the owner’s likes/dislikes, which seems to be an extremely difficult concept for some to accept.. I make this journal publicly comment-able so friends can respond. However, if someone takes it upon themself to post THEIR negative opinion and treat this as a messageboard for their opinion and not MY personal journal, I’ll remove that privilege.

Great….just when I told myself I was going to SAVE money.
How can I resist these?
The trials and tribulations of being a girl! 😀
Beverly, I was wondering if you knew how to make a heart for an interest on your user info page the only code I know is
Y it doesn’t work though but it works on my journal Y
OH I just copy and paste it, I don’t use any code or anything.. just erm, drag and highlight with the mouse and select copy 😛

They’re too cute!
Mixture of purple and pink! Waaww! they’re great and too cute! 🙂
saw your website..isn’t it strange how a Computing/IT undergrad’s website- building skills sux so much? with links tat dun work? wondering about that till i saw the kinda stuff u tok about in ya journal…y dun u get a degree in trying hard to be pretty instead? try searching 4 ‘stila university’ under e yellow pages ok? good luck!!!
Lordy. Try searching “How to type english legibly” under Google ok? Good luck!!!
🙂
Hahahhahah!! that person is an idiot! if you read something you don’t like, close the internet window instead of reading all the rest of their writings! i guess some people have nothing interesting or fun to do in life and this is their idea of interesting! hahahahhahah!
good one bev! 😉
i second beverly’s advice on learning how to type.
drop the whole SMS slang ish.
second–instead of sitting on your fatbutt all day trying to think up of what to say to beverly to make it sounds the LEAST BIT insulting (which it isn’t, you’re actually indirectly complimenting her), why dont you get off your butt and get your own degree in it/computers/psychology.
you would think that someone like yourself would have something better to do..
and, in most cases, you’re spending so much time talking about “The faults of beverly” to avoid noticing your own faults.
and by the way, dumb@$$, LJ logs IP addresses..you’re talking to an IT/computer technology major here. =\ =\
oh, the minds that people lack some of these days…
*high fives*
I didn’t even know that was SMS slang, I don’t even SMS like that but I guess I can understand since there’s a limited number of characters. But when you’re typing at a computer.. HELLO! It’s not that hard to type legibly!
HAHAHAAAA.
bev, i’m willing to bet that this is a singaporean.
yah, can tell by the ‘sms slang’ huh?
sort of … some bits of the way she type just gives her away 😉 oh yeah i’m pretty sure she’s a girl. heeeheee how so very sad.
Since when do Singaporeans type like this?! No one I know does..
oh they do, they do …

uhoh!!! i have a stila pro store near me and i’m going to look at them tomorrow. im debating whether I’m going to buy or not. *knowing myself ill probably cave in!!*
=( =(
ARggggghhhhhh… lucky duck!
I love the Elle Blush Lipglaze! But pink e/s just isn’t my colour 🙁
Will it be sinful to go for both?? LOL…
I thought it was blush.. but I guess it works both ways 🙂 *lol* I want both too!
Oh, I was referring to Set #1, they’re pink e/s aren’t they? Or am I seeing things? LOL… I prefer the e/s from Set #2 and lipglaze from #1.
I think one’s a pink e/s but one’s a blush.. but the pink e/s can probably be used as a blush too! I don’t like the whole pink-eye look either :T
I have to wait till July 14th 🙁 It’ll only be out here then.
:((((((
ooohhh pretty packaging!! so tempting 😉
Dear god, hold me bev. lol
I think I need them both….I need 1 for sure.
*clings to Malinda*
What are we going to do now?!?!?
I need both too. Hey, at least you’re in the USA and can get it easily.. beats being an ocean away and having to get it cp’ed and pay a ton for shipping *sulk*
You are too cosmetics-obsessed.
And you say that like it’s a bad thing 😉
haha yeah really, if it’s a bad thing then i dont wanna be right. 🙂
They’re too cute!
Mixture of purple and pink! Waaww! they’re great and too cute! 🙂
Wohoo! I’m getting both of them CPed for me. Just the new lip glazes are enough to make me want them. The cool palette looks very similar to the colours in the Holiday Cool Book though, while the pink e/s in the Warm palette looks a lot like Heather!
Hahhaha exactly! And I like the packaging 😛 I’m getting them cp’ed too. It’s no use trying to resist. Wonder if my mum and dad’ll help me pay? 🙂
I’m sure they wouldnt mind! lol! Hey have you seen the new GA lipglosses? I think #3 and #5 look like the ones in the Berry Palette. Pretty!!!
Uhm.. noo… are they out at the counters?! I really want the pinky/red gloss in the Berries Palette!
not out here yet but just out in the US. the new collection is called bronze mania. someone on MUA has a pic, think girlzippy or something like that.
Ohhh I remmeber seeing the bronzer. I WANT!!

I love the elle blush lipglaze!
good thing i now have a good paying job. i shall be splurging on those after i get my tattoo.
Lucky! I’m gonna hope my parents will be willing to pay for it 😛 You’re getting a tattoo? *cowers* You’re brave… I’m terrified of pain :X
I’m scared of pain as well, but my best friend and I are going together to get tattoo’s together, so..and he won’t let me leave the place til i have it, lol.
Aarrgh..I want both but they are US$48 each??!!??
Which is technically really good.. ‘cos it’s a whole face palette PLUS a lipglaze, and the lipglazes retail US$24 as it is! And if it came to Mecca, it’d be easily US$60-90 :T
Dang..now you’ve made them sound really cheap! Sigh…
Heh, they’re expensive ‘cos they’re $48, but cheap compared to other Stila prices!
Ya I know..but I’ve let so many LE Stila stuff go past that I don’t know if this is worth splurging. One thing for sure is that they will surface on MUA in no time 🙂
Yeah no kidding..everyone’s going *nuts* over them but you can be sure that some won’t like it after all!
Yeah..I read on MUA that everybody is asking for a CP. Good thing there’s no Stila counter here or else I’d prolly be broke! 😛

oooh. sharp. my little evil heart is wounded.
well u see, i just see it as a disgrace that you should be snubbing ur own fellow people for their english. maybe it wasn’t u, but ur bunch of stila’s fans! babes sure sounded like they looked down on singaporeans just for their lack of perfect english. (which they ain’t too perfect with either. i’d like to be nitpicky and point out that *LOL* is an SMS slang too. so how about typing out *Laughing Out Loud* from now on yeah?)
and so i expect you will be applying for australian PR very soon since you wouldn’t be able to *stand* the singaporean english too much. i hope aussieland welcomes u. you are, after all, the Ultimate Singapore Girl in Australia.
thanks for doing singapore proud, our next annabelle chong.

Awww.. I’m sure they don’t look down on Singaporeans for the way they speak/write. It’s always nice to respect cultures and speak a language perfectly (ie. if you’re going to speak english, speak english. If you’re going to speak mandarin, speak mandarin), but when you’re trying to prove a point or argue with someone, it’s always a good plan to come across as educated and well-informed.
And yup! I sure am applying for PR 🙂 The SG job market’s not too good at the moment and it’s always good to have international experience when I go back to SG in a few year’s time.
Sorry to disappoint, but my degree is in Computer Science and Psychology. I’m glad you’re so interested in me that you read my journal repeatedly and surf the net for me though! It’s really an honour when someone actually spends time each day finding out about you 🙂
Oh, and you should stop making sweeping generalisations and saying fellow-Singaporeans have “a lack of perfect english”. Only some do, not all. You should be more proud and optimistic about your country!

and with all the nation-building and bonding things they have in singapore i’m surprised to see you girls *byatching* about a fellow singaporean who just quite snubbed u a little about ur web-building skills. why should u have to stoop to his/her *level* and be bitchy back? could’ve just left her msg unattended to. then she’ll leave u alone as well.
and so you think that u’re above the rest of the singaporeans just because you study in AUSSSSSSIELAND and thus make fun of ur fellow people for their SMS-ish slangs?
respect the cultures of different lands, woman. grow up.

Actually, I wasn’t aware that was SMS-slang. I just thought it was extremely bad english. After all, if one is to write in amy language, WRITE IT PROPERLY. Simple as that. As you said, “respect the cultures” – in other words, respect and don’t butcher a language.
But if you think that studying in Australia makes us above fellow Singaporeans, then that’s your opinion *shrug*
Honestly, it never fails to amaze me how people can REGULARLY read a journal of someone they don’t like, then criticise their thoughts. A journal is a place to voice your likes, dislikes and opinions. So *obviously* I’m going to voice mine. Don’t like it? Leave.
🙂
Oh along the lines of a journal being (amazing enough) the owner’s likes/dislikes, which seems to be an extremely difficult concept for some to accept.. I make this journal publicly comment-able so friends can respond. However, if someone takes it upon themself to post THEIR negative opinion and treat this as a messageboard for their opinion and not MY personal journal, I’ll remove that privilege.

Great….just when I told myself I was going to SAVE money.
How can I resist these?
The trials and tribulations of being a girl! 😀
Beverly, I was wondering if you knew how to make a heart for an interest on your user info page the only code I know is
Y it doesn’t work though but it works on my journalY
OH I just copy and paste it, I don’t use any code or anything.. just erm, drag and highlight with the mouse and select copy 😛

Mixture of purple and pink! Waaww! they’re great and too cute! 🙂

saw your website..isn’t it strange how a Computing/IT undergrad’s website- building skills sux so much? with links tat dun work? wondering about that till i saw the kinda stuff u tok about in ya journal…y dun u get a degree in trying hard to be pretty instead? try searching 4 ‘stila university’ under e yellow pages ok? good luck!!!
Lordy. Try searching “How to type english legibly” under Google ok? Good luck!!!
🙂
Hahahhahah!! that person is an idiot! if you read something you don’t like, close the internet window instead of reading all the rest of their writings! i guess some people have nothing interesting or fun to do in life and this is their idea of interesting! hahahahhahah!
good one bev! 😉
i second beverly’s advice on learning how to type.
drop the whole SMS slang ish.
second–instead of sitting on your fatbutt all day trying to think up of what to say to beverly to make it sounds the LEAST BIT insulting (which it isn’t, you’re actually indirectly complimenting her), why dont you get off your butt and get your own degree in it/computers/psychology.
you would think that someone like yourself would have something better to do..
and, in most cases, you’re spending so much time talking about “The faults of beverly” to avoid noticing your own faults.
and by the way, dumb@$$, LJ logs IP addresses..you’re talking to an IT/computer technology major here. =\ =\
oh, the minds that people lack some of these days…
*high fives*
I didn’t even know that was SMS slang, I don’t even SMS like that but I guess I can understand since there’s a limited number of characters. But when you’re typing at a computer.. HELLO! It’s not that hard to type legibly!
HAHAHAAAA.
bev, i’m willing to bet that this is a singaporean.
yah, can tell by the ‘sms slang’ huh?
sort of … some bits of the way she type just gives her away 😉 oh yeah i’m pretty sure she’s a girl. heeeheee how so very sad.
Since when do Singaporeans type like this?! No one I know does..
oh they do, they do …

uhoh!!! i have a stila pro store near me and i’m going to look at them tomorrow. im debating whether I’m going to buy or not. *knowing myself ill probably cave in!!*
=( =(
ARggggghhhhhh… lucky duck!
I love the Elle Blush Lipglaze! But pink e/s just isn’t my colour 🙁
Will it be sinful to go for both?? LOL…
I thought it was blush.. but I guess it works both ways 🙂 *lol* I want both too!
Oh, I was referring to Set #1, they’re pink e/s aren’t they? Or am I seeing things? LOL… I prefer the e/s from Set #2 and lipglaze from #1.
I think one’s a pink e/s but one’s a blush.. but the pink e/s can probably be used as a blush too! I don’t like the whole pink-eye look either :T
I have to wait till July 14th 🙁 It’ll only be out here then.
:((((((
ooohhh pretty packaging!! so tempting 😉
Dear god, hold me bev. lol
I think I need them both….I need 1 for sure.
*clings to Malinda*
What are we going to do now?!?!?
I need both too. Hey, at least you’re in the USA and can get it easily.. beats being an ocean away and having to get it cp’ed and pay a ton for shipping *sulk*
You are too cosmetics-obsessed.
And you say that like it’s a bad thing 😉
haha yeah really, if it’s a bad thing then i dont wanna be right. 🙂
They’re too cute!
Mixture of purple and pink! Waaww! they’re great and too cute! 🙂
Vee
Wohoo! I’m getting both of them CPed for me. Just the new lip glazes are enough to make me want them. The cool palette looks very similar to the colours in the Holiday Cool Book though, while the pink e/s in the Warm palette looks a lot like Heather!
Hahhaha exactly! And I like the packaging 😛 I’m getting them cp’ed too. It’s no use trying to resist. Wonder if my mum and dad’ll help me pay? 🙂
I’m sure they wouldnt mind! lol! Hey have you seen the new GA lipglosses? I think #3 and #5 look like the ones in the Berry Palette. Pretty!!!
Uhm.. noo… are they out at the counters?! I really want the pinky/red gloss in the Berries Palette!
not out here yet but just out in the US. the new collection is called bronze mania. someone on MUA has a pic, think girlzippy or something like that.
Ohhh I remmeber seeing the bronzer. I WANT!!

I love the elle blush lipglaze!
good thing i now have a good paying job. i shall be splurging on those after i get my tattoo.
Lucky! I’m gonna hope my parents will be willing to pay for it 😛 You’re getting a tattoo? *cowers* You’re brave… I’m terrified of pain :X
I’m scared of pain as well, but my best friend and I are going together to get tattoo’s together, so..and he won’t let me leave the place til i have it, lol.
Aarrgh..I want both but they are US$48 each??!!??
Which is technically really good.. ‘cos it’s a whole face palette PLUS a lipglaze, and the lipglazes retail US$24 as it is! And if it came to Mecca, it’d be easily US$60-90 :T
Dang..now you’ve made them sound really cheap! Sigh…
Heh, they’re expensive ‘cos they’re $48, but cheap compared to other Stila prices!
Ya I know..but I’ve let so many LE Stila stuff go past that I don’t know if this is worth splurging. One thing for sure is that they will surface on MUA in no time 🙂
Yeah no kidding..everyone’s going *nuts* over them but you can be sure that some won’t like it after all!
Yeah..I read on MUA that everybody is asking for a CP. Good thing there’s no Stila counter here or else I’d prolly be broke! 😛
