TWITTER: i finally figured it out!

hello lovers!

oh, bother, but over the last week my internet connection was all wonky so i couldn't post! by then harajuku voting had ended and i was pretty much in a moochy mood because it's probably gone. ): also, because i made a massively huge mistake with the dates, i'd mentioned that it ended on the 8th, when actually the date had been the third. i'm not quite sure if the date was changed, but either way, it's an "oh wells".

but if you're curious, if i'd won, the prize for one of my voters would have been the Playlab goodie bag (the same one offered for the lucky voters on the site), a $20 voucher for fish and co, and a $100 voucher for both my stores which will be up by end of the month and the other one by april.

Sigh. i really wanted to go to japan! hmph.

haha can you sense my sulkiness over the whole thing. hahaa. okay over it now. in other news. new photos! b says i look like a geisha here. i was trying to go for the whole i am asian, hear me roar thing. hahhaa. i guess that kind of means i was half successful?

ALSO, OTHER EXCITING NEWS.
okay not quite that exciting but exciting to me haha.

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT TWITTER!

if you're thinking omg, what a loser, i know i know! i've just never been the biggest jump on the social networking bandwagon kind of person, so i kind of ignored its existence for a while. (also because i was secretly sulky and annoyed that i didn't know how to post pictures)

but here you go! you can find me here!

http://twitter.com/jessebella

i also added a little box to the side of my blog that updates in real time all my twitter posts, so you can see them while you're here too!

highly proud of myself. i'm such a cyber genius now. hahahahaha. sorry i just feel such a happy sense of achievement. 


also i went ice skating recently! i fell down a grand total of four and a half times. half because i kind of fell but saved it haha. so that was at first but i got the hang of it soon after.

went with s!

i saw a little girl doing the most amazing twirls and thought damnit, should have picked ice skating instead of music! (if you're curious, i play the piano, the violin, amateur snare drums, really really basic guitar and technically cheating but i'll throw in the keyboard. haha.) okay fine i was being a ninny, but while falling on my arse i was so impressed, she looked about only six years old.

loads of school work to catch up on, so i'll catch you guys later,

happy cny in advance, i hope everyone gets like loads of red packets! (:

yesterday i had half my face painted black

a distraction from updating, haha.

went for a photoshoot yesterday for some creative makeup (i swear, the two of them are geniuses) and i had half my face painted black.

haha.

sorry i love how dramatic that sounds. but here you go, mini picture before i get the shots from the shoot:

with my mua! ♥

isn't it crazy interesting. haha. i'm excited for the photos. poor aylwin's camera died though, so he helped out to paint my face black too. job change from photographer to face painter. haha. and wrote the chinese character "ren3" on it, it was such a joke. lalala.

i'm in school on my laptop now, so i don't have all my photos. okay, back to class now. sigh sigh sigh.



oh but am so happy for later! meeting k and e for dinner and girl talk, and then _____'s going to come over and find me later ♥. i like to ask people if they're okay with being on my blog and stuff, and i haven't asked him yet, so im going to be all mysterious and shizz now. unless you guys bribe me, and then i might consider. i like supermarket sushi, cedele, and moisturizer. haha.

b and i have been entertaining ourselves with skype, moving skype emoticons onto facebook, and singing silly ticky ticky made up songs. despite the fact that she's literally in another continent. love you b.

and daddy's back for the chinese new year!

and ____ and i might be going shopping for chinese new year clothes. what should i buy?

oh, im like happy j now.

(except for the fact that i spent 19 bucks! on cab this morning. grrr. stupid peak hour + me sleeping way past my snooze button. sulks. )


missed you all this week!

new photo <3

updates soon, it's one am and i'm pretty much beat, just got back from the airport, but i will post my new port photo because i promised to do my regular updates. which i hope i'm doing pretty well? i'm always grateful to you guys for reading despite my hiatus for the longest time, the stats are pretty much consistent and it really helps to know that there are people checking up on me (for the right reasons, i hope :D) even when i'm not posting, because it's been pretty rough lately, and i haven't felt more alone.

still, what with everything, there are so many more things to do, and so little time. but i'm really excited, everything's falling into place so far. so, hooray :D

that said, here's the new picture:



i'm really honoured to have been able to shoot with G, he's a photographer based in Dallas that flew here for a couple of days, and it was a hilarious shoot. seriously killer strange. you'll know when i show you the pictures. i haven't gotten everything yet, but i'll show you when i do :)


also!
if you hang in there, i've got awesome greenday updates to post soon. i'm not usually a concert kid, but i accompanied b and long story short, we were first in line. YES, FIRST. and right in front. who's curious how long we queued? haha.

also met some awesome people at the show! really we probably wouldn't have survived through it without them, and we had to head back and dump our stuff and everything. <3 but but but, even more awesome, billie joe wore our headband! for the uninitiated, he's the lead singer of greenday, and if you see shots of him in a giant red and white bow, YES, THAT'S THE ONE. in return, he gave the police cap he toured with so far on the show. KILLER MAD AWESOME. aren't you excited? photos soon, i've got to tidy up and figure out all my camera files first. entire card's full, boo. if you're thinking "it's just a cap, lah", that is true. but different things hold different meanings to everyone, you know what i mean?

anyways, i caved in and went and uploaded a preview of our madness. this is how big the bow is. haha. and the arm thing is made out of duct tape because i was dead bored whilst queueing. and b really does have green hair. haha. also, yes, this is my back to brown hair.



okay sleep calls. rad love to everyone reading now, crazy psycho tone not included.

xoxo,

where I'll be on tuesday!

Hello lovers!



I know I haven't updated a while, but it's been a whirlwind since the last time i posted. Everything has changed in my life, and it feels almost like I'm starting over, but to be honest, i've never felt better. So many opportunities have come around that I might be just heading towards a really good place, and i'm actually feeling (dare i say it) happy. haha. so happy 2010 everyone! wish me luck, and i hope yours is starting off well too. Otherwise, really, it can only get better. trust me, i just came out from rock bottom. :)

In other news, I'm no longer blonde! well, for now at least. haha if you'd like to say hi tomorrow, i'll be walking for two shows at the giant white tent outside taka, where they're holding Hairlah! "Singapore's biggest hair event" (yes, so singaporean i know, haha).

so if you're curious and want to see like a nonstop all day fashion show parade of hair haha this is the show to go to. schedule here:


http://www.hairlah.com/main-stage-schedule

and if you want to check out my new hair colour i'll be on at 3 and 5pm on tuesday. not that it's like such an epic event that i've changed my hair colour, but IT IS TO ME OKAY LET ME HAVE MY MOMENTZZZ.

haha so yeah. entry costs five bucks, though. which can be :) or :( depending on how much you want to go.


ah and new peekture. no makeup overkill, no fake lashes. you like?




okay sneezing non stop, but i'm stubborn and still going to eat crystal jade xlb later. and this time i'm going to take pictures BEFORE i finish everything. sorry, i know i torture all of you with awful half eaten pictures of my food. PEOPLE GREEDY LAH CAN.
