Yesterday was dinner and dance for the graduating batch of students for SBS. It was held at Marriott Hotel. The event was okay.. The food was 80% identical to the food I had at my cousin's wedding last saturday. So I wasn't too pleased to be eating the same food again. Furthermore, I am not a fan of chinese food. But the company was good. I had a great time with the girls. Pity that Evelyn couldn't go =(
I went the xueting's house to prepare first. I helped xueting and cariann do some parts of their makeup. Gave them some tips for a more flawless photography makeup too. It was lots of fun! This was the first time I did makeup that was 100% photo-friendly also. Glad that it turned out well and the photos look good.
Here was what I packed in my little kit. Basically I tried to keep everything matte and without SPF for face makeup, except for my brozer, because I don't own a matte bronzer. For eyeshadows, I only used a shimmery shade on the inner corners. The rest were satin or matte shades. Mac blot powder was an absolute must for me. I brought it along with me to the dinner for touch ups as well. I packed 2 pairs of lashes too, and I end up with the more dramatic ones because they would show up better in photos.
My little makeup pouch..
Little makeup pouch placed inside a larger makeup bag (bought for me by zac dearest).Here are photos of DND.. I only have a few shots cause of my lousy camera battery life.
The smoky ballroom.. The effect was quite cool, especially with the poker cards as table numbers and the spot lights. Mysterious ambience.
I liked how one of the spot lights shone on our table.
The first dish. The nicest dish out of all..
Fish dish (rhymes!)
We had a series of table games where we were given 8 riddles. This was the most fun one. We were given a seemingly blank piece of paper and a candle. Getting this part was easy. We had to heat up the paper to reveal the message (DUH).
Heating heating.... And accidentally burnt some spots. Haha. At least ours didn't have holes!
The clue revealed: Small in size; Big in heart; Royal in blood; Guess a book.Ans: The little prince.
The 'after party'. More smoke with disco lights.. But not many people danced. Haha.
Us girls!Cariann, Veron and Xueting went for a drinking session outside after that, with don, yc, hui tong, delon (can't spell his name) and some others. I didn't join them, cause I'm not a big fan of pubs/bars, I want my beauty sleep, and I did not want to leave my makeup on my face till morning. Also, my bf came to pick me up (so sweet!).
Convocation is tomorrow! The very final thing before we graduate. So sad. I almost teared during the video montage at the dinner yesterday. Looking at the photos, I can't believe these 4 years of studying, camps, activities and loads of fun is over now. Almost everyday I think about how I spent these 4 years and how quickly they flew by... So bittersweet.
Will update next with convo photos!

My eyeshadow stash! Actually I have less than I thought I had. Most of the shadows come from the ELF 32 color palette and the china brand 72 eyeshadow/blush palette. So.. Can buy more!!

Met up with evelyn and cariann yesterday at vivocity. Cariann just came back from taiwan and had gifts for us! Thanks dear!
She got me this Shills lip balm, which I actually already tried even before I took this photo. Haha. It's pretty good. The first Shills item I owned!We ate at White Dog Cafe. 3 course set lunch for $10.90++. Here was what I had:
The salad (which I only ate a mouth of) and the leek and potato soup with garlic bread. The soup was super good! Never thought that a soup made from veg would taste so good. The garlic bread was too buttery though.
Then I had mushrooms aglio olio linguine. This was really nice. They were so really generous with the mushrooms.
Close-up of my yummy pasta.Overall, it was a great place to eat at. The staff was polite, especially the manager (I think? He was wearing a shirt instead of what the other waiters were wearing). We wanted to change seats because we were cold. He was more than happy to oblige and he even offered us shawls to keep ourselves warm. Then he made sure we had enough parmesan cheese and chili flakes. I would eat there again.
