VICE CONVENT - EPISODE XIV: FRIDAY THE 13TH

Vice Convent made its long awaited return to Filter, the first since the $1 million dollar renovation. It was a night of butchery, bloodshed, serial killers, & superstitious delirium!

As from my previous blogpost (Dull), I mentioned that certain people and things were holding me back from partying and having fun. I thought I could keep it up with ''quitting clubbing,'' but I just had to break my streak. Once a clubber, always a clubber. And I deserve to have some fun once in a while anyway, it's not like I go havoc every single night right? So yeah, I'M A BIG FAT LIAR! I guess no one will ever believe me again when I say, ''I want to quit clubbing.''  Because honestly, that will never ever happen. In my dreams perhaps!

Back to the details of that night, Vice Convent is a event by the Filter Members Club! It's a private club I would say, as you can only gain entry inside if you're a member of the club itself, or you got an invitation in. It was my first virgin night out at Filter, and I was honoured to recieve an invitation in, so after much contemplation, I agreed to attend the party even though I kept reminding myself a zillion times that I was in the midst of ''quitting clubbing.'' HA!

-

-

Friday the 13th, is a date considered to be bad luck in the western supersition. It was a Friday night, there was just no reason to why I should stay home! Like bitch please, IT'S FRIDAY?!! Thank God for the crew of the Filter Members Club, who made huge efforts to spice up Friday the 13th! For the party, it was sort of a gory theme. And before I go on, here's a sole picture of me before I headed out to get my gory make up done!

-

-

Off I went to the office/bungalow at Emerald Hill, where the other party crew members and I gathered together in! The party crew specially hired a makeup artist to do all that gory makeup stuff on our faces. And that's where I got to meet the awesome Michelle, a make up artist! She specialises in doing gory makeup, like scars, bruises, gunshots, blood, etc. I had a friendly chat with her and found out that she has worked for Mediacorp, she does the gory stuff on the actors/actresses faces!

Michelle was such a sweetie, she's super bubbly by nature and very approachable! She's extremely professional in what she does, and she's very dedicated too! I requested her to do a scar on my face, some blood near my mouth, and some scabs on my neck. I wasn't expecting much from her, but DAMN! She did a FANTASTIC job on everything that I requested! They looked 100% real and it was quite painful for me to stare at myself  in the mirror with those surreal scars and blood on me!!!

I'll let the pictures do the talking (sorry for the low picture quality)

In conclusion, my first experience in Filter Club was alright! DJ Stas was murdering the dancefloor with his signature brand of anthem house bangers, electro clubkillers and mashup remixes! I guess one thing Nay about Filter is that it is rather tiny. It wasn't spacious so it was really crowded and packed, to a point where I had to leave for another club.

And just when I left and got to Club Mink, it was equally as crowded! Argh. It was such a mood spoiler!

-

-

And no, we refused to let the crowd spoil our night. We hopped to Zouk instead! Had a few drinks at the Zouk Members area, and I was already yawning. Am I getting old or what? Wait, i'm young to begin with. I've come to a conclusion that clubbing is tiring and meaningless! (oreally?)

And did I mention that I recieved a gazillion stares from almost everyone? The scars and blood on me were really ''attractive'' huh. I guess people have not recognized that it was Friday the 13th. I've random people coming up to me asking me if im okay, what happened etc... I probably looked like I got myself involved in a nasty fight or somethin'.

BITCH PLEASE ITS FRIDAY THE 13TH!

-

-

Nonetheless, it was a memorable Friday the 13th! A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible.

& Before I sign off, do support Vibe's 3th anniversary at @clubmink this coming Wednesday!

I'm bored to my bones. Boring is actually an understatement. What has happened to my life? This is driving me nuts. I cannot go on another day like this. It feels like I have been down with some sort of a mental illness, and I might just end up in a mental hospital anytime soon. Truth be told, I feel awful. Inside and out. I'm desperately in need of some excitement in life, but what? I really urge to go back to my old self, where I partied hard, got wasted, did crazy things, and basically just living young and wild and free. But no, certain people and things are holding me back from having fun. Sacrificing my young days for these reasons, I have been questioning myself: 'Is it worth it?'

School has started, and initially at first, I was overjoyed when I was informed that school was only a few days a week. Funny saying this, but I would rather school be 5 days a week now. Not because I enjoy school or whatsoever, but I would rather drown myself in piles of schoolwork instead of rotting here at home, not knowing what to do with my life.

I am usually a laidback kind of person. I like to laze around during my free time, rather than get up and find a chore to do. But this is too much, this boredom is driving me insane it's not even funny. School is usually two days a week, and I work at the boutique on all Sundays. The other remaining days, I do absolutely nothing. I stay home and stare at the 4 blank walls, cooped up at home like a hamster in cage.

I am thinking of taking up another day job, so I can work on the remaining days where I don't have school, and earn some cash at the same time. But what? I am a picky person to start with. Not only towards the kinds of food that I eat, but jobs, too. I dislike having to serve people in a restaurant. I dislike having to clear tables and do dirty chores. I dislike being a cashier girl. I dislike having to work while standing, my legs are much more worth than that. Sigh, this is why I can never find a suitable job, because im picky like that.

Life is so mundane, uninteresting, unexciting, uninspiring, tasteless, flavourless, and irksome. I don't even know what I have recently become. This isn't Lydia. I've become such a mess, and for the first time, I don't understand myself. I have become so complicated, confusing and I just feel like I have become a total different person. In a bad way, I believe. No one can understand me exactly, as I have secrets that are way too personal, that I don't tell anyone, no one at all. I have started to slowly shut myself out from almost everyone and everything. This is a perfect time for me to learn how to be dependent on myself.

I just... want to be alone.

Hi girls!

(unfortunately this post is not for the boys)

As promised, i'm here to do a eyelash extension review! I'm here to share my personal eyelash extension experience, the process of it, the advantages, disadvantages, and etc. I would like to mention that this is merely my own experience, and this post would be useful for you if you are considering if you should get eyelash extensions done.

This picture of me above is the one and only picture that I look 'OKAY' in with my new eyelash extensions. I tried multiple camwhore shots of myself with my eyelash extensions but I look horrible. So I'm definitely not going to upload the other pictures! I took this shot while I was drying the eyelash extension glue. As you can see I'm holding a mini electric fan infront of my face!

If you didn't know, I went to get eyelash extensions just a few days ago! I've always wanted eyelash extensions as I've always thought that eyelash extensions possess the power to make your eyes look prettier! Before I got my eyelash extensions done, I've went to do my own research about eyelash extensions and also asked around my friends who have had eyelash extensions before, and honestly, I've heard nothing good about it. So I went into deep consideration before I finally decided to do eyelash extensions for the sake of... VANITY. My real eyelashes are already quite long to begin with, which means eyelash extensions are actually not necessary for me. Tell me again, why am I such a vainpot?

I told the lash technician that I wanted a more natural lash look as I didn't want my lashes to look too overwhelming. She offered me 3 different sets of eyelash lengths, which came in 8/10/12. And as it goes, 8 is the shortest, 10 being the average, and 12 which is the longest. I wanted to play safe so I chose the 10 length. Below is a picture of how the individual lashes actually looks like!

-

-

Process of the eyelash extension:

You will be laid down on a mini bed, with your eyes completely closed throughout the process. One of the first steps was that my esthetician had to tape down my bottom lashes so that the glue wouldn't stick to them. The lash technician will then proceed to glue the lashes onto your real eyelashes one by one. The glue is a very strong adhensive that is black in colour. Do note that the individual eyelashes are glued to your real eyelashes, not to the eyelid or whatsoever. During the process, some may experience a burning or stingy effect on your eyes. Your eyeballs may even turn slightly red, and cause you to tear. But fortunately for me, I did not experience any pain or discomfort throughout the whole process. It was really comfortable for me and I'm really glad that my eyes responded well to the eyelash extensions! The process of the eyelash extensions were done pretty fast, in about less than 30 minutes I guess? The remaining process would be for you to dry the glue completely with a mini electric fan.

Satisfaction:

I cannot say that I loved the results, but I was pleased with it. The results were immediate and dramatic, in a natural way. My eyelashes were much longer and fuller, and they looked gorgeous. With your eyes closed, you can see how full and pretty they are. I asked for a natural look, and I was granted it. However, I was a little disappointed as I was hoping it would look a little more dramatic, but I guess natural is still safer and better afterall! I've been having my eyelash extensions on for a few days now and the extensions are still fully intact. They haven't been causing me any trouble so far and I hope they stay behaved like this! The last thing I would want right now is for my lashes to slowly fall off.

Advantages:

With these lash extensions, it will definitely fill your lashes out and add a good amount of volume and length! As I mentioned above earlier, the glue adhensive is black in colour, which gives your eyelids a little black touch, which looks like you have applied a thin coat of eyeliner. For some, including me, with eyelash extensions, I don't see a need in having eye makeup on as with eyelash extensions, your eyes will look complete in some way or another. You can wake up in the morning feeling pretty, instead of waking up to your own bare face! I like the fact that I can just quickly fill in my brows, pat some loose powder on my face, and i'm good to go! You can cut down on the time needed to do your eye make up, isn't that awesome?

Disadvantages:

Firstly, lash extensions are costly and its certainly not something you would want to cheap out on as you need a professional and experienced esthetician to apply the lashes individually. It's a tedious process that requires constant focus and patience. One of the cons of the extensions is that it's impossible to rub your eyes. So if you are a eye rubber, you'll have to go through some eye rubbing withdrawal. I take great care of my lash extensions so I am super careful about getting my eyes wet and avoiding direct splashing of water against my eyes. This makes my life rather difficult as I have a tough time washing my face and showering. The lashes needs alot of care and maintenance in order to stay intact, so you have to be gentle! And if you have sensitive eyes, you might have a higher possibility of experiencing discomfort, be it during the process or after. Eyelash extensions can only last you a 2-3 weeks, they will eventually fall out slowly, so it is only temporary beauty. Is this temporary beauty worth the costly price? You answer.

Conclusion:

I don't think this temporary beauty is worth the price. Morever, my real eyelashes are full enough and extensions are honestly not needed. I merely did these extensions for the sake of fun and I wanted to try them out too for once! I'd probably not get eyelash extensions again when my current lashes fall off. However, it is worth the try and I would recommend you to do it only if you need it. For example, if you have thin or close to no eyelashes, eyelash extensions would be useful for you!

Back home from orientation and i'm here to do an update about it! Met the bestfriend @chipmunkzjiaqi for a early dinner @ KFC! Afterwards we walked around city hall for abit and she sent me off to school! I felt so loved cuz she was like a mother that sent her daughter (me) to school.

I love you Ling Jia Qi!!!!

So after the bestfriend sent me off to school, I was all alone and my heart was pumping ferociously. I dragged my feet slowly to school, took a lift up, and stepped into the orientation room. The lady already got started with the talk so I quietly took a seat and settled down. The talk went on and on, and it was boring as hell. I could only understand 20% of what the lady was saying. And I was so tempted to put my head down and sleep. But no, I had to leave a good impression to the HOD of law and my schoolmates too. The orientation was basically just a talk. No ice breakers sadly.

AND DID I MENTION THAT THERE IS A CUTE BOY IN MY CLASS?!?!

-

-

I CAN'T WAIT FOR  SCHOOL TO START NEXT TUESDAY!!!!

-

-

That aside, I HAVE ALSO RECIEVED MY SCHOOL TIMETABLE! And to my shock, school is only 2-3 days a week! And BEST, school starts in the afternoon (WHICH MEANS I CAN SLEEP MORE) and school is only for 3 hours or so!

-

-

SO HAPPY I CAN DIE.

It means alot that I can get more sleep in the morning as I'm never a morning person. I need a good sleep to be energized and awake during classes. And God has granted me sleep!

Ending this update with one word:

HALLELUJAH!!!

It's Friday! Oh wait, everyday's Friday to me. Sucks to say this, but I'll be back to the monday-friday school blues next week. I still cannot absorb the fact that school is commencing just NEXT WEEK! I'm not prepared, I haven't got enough of the holidays although this is the longest holiday I've ever had in my life. I'm honestly afraid of what's in store for me. I have to welcome school with open arms, alongside with stress, pressure... Jesus christ.

That's not the highlight of this blogpost. As the title suggests, I'm currently having a serious nervous breakdown. (Why?) I'll be attending my school's orientation later at 7pm. Yes, 7PM. Which is in a few hour's time. I'm feeling so tensed up, I wonder what kind of classmates and teachers I'll get. But I'll know later, and hopefully, I can get to meet new friendly, genuine classmates and not-so-strict but fun teachers. It's like being a kid all over again... I'll be alone, feeling all awkward and shy, probably play the icebreaker game, meet new friends, new teachers. It's been long since I have to do this again. I've always been so used to the friends around me and I've always been comfortable around them. Tonight, I hope things will not get too awkward around everyone and I hope we can all get to know one another. Keep calm... keep calm.

You know that feeling, when your iPod shuffles to a song that reminds you of him?

You know that feeling, when you walk pass a certain place/spot, that you used to be walking with him hand in hand?

You know that feeling, when you see a unintentional picture of him somewhere on the net?

You know that feeling, when you smell a scent that reminds you of him?

You know that feeling, when you scroll down your list of phone contacts and you see his name?

You know that feeling, when you come across a stranger that looks like him?

You know that feeling, when you meet someone who shares the same name as him?

You know that feeling, when you spot his friends hanging around?

-

What's that feeling exactly called? I guess tonight is one of those nights were I find myself visiting memory lane again. My heart's been good, free from pain and heartache. But I cannot deny that I can't escape or hide away from this thing called memories. I know someday, someone will come into my life and sweep me off my feet, and show me why it didn't work with anyone else. But till I meet that Mr Right, I guess I'll have to continue feeling this way.

But I'm alright and I will be, really

HOLA!

On a recent Monday night, I attended the 'SCHREW SESSIONS' launch party at Club Mink! Yesyes, you must be wondering...

''WHICH CLUB OPENS ON A MONDAY NIGHT?''

''WHO PARTIES ON A MONDAY NIGHT?''

The ''Schrew Sessions'' party was a special one, to kickstart off the start of the March holidays for students! And that was the reason to why the party was held on a Monday night. It was a 18 & above event party, at Club Mink, which is located at Pan Pacific Hotel! I was honoured to be given a guestlist while majority had to pay for their tickets, and so I went, ''Why not?'' Despite the fact that it was a Monday, THE PARTY WAS FANTASTIC! The crowd was overwhelming, the music was electrifying, drinks were overflowing, atmosphere was intense! I'll let the pictures do the talking~

-

These are a few pictures that I grabbed from the club's photographer!

And below are pictures from my own camera!

Recieved my favourite pack of kraft oreo star biscuits on my table, with a little barbie pad note from the lovely dad.

Thank you dad ♥

You will usually not see me with a watch on my wrist. And even if I do wear watches, I only wear them as a form of an accessory. Till a few weeks ago, this gold watch caught my eye! The number font that is printed on this watch is really classic too, and it serves both ways. As you can see above, it's a half watch half bangle. Love it!

Who still remembers doing ''Xi Zi'' during your young primary school days? Such fond memories.

Nails done at The Nail Status in Far East Plaza! Nice shade of red but I had no idea to why I chose red. Probably because I wanted to match my nails with the gold bangle that I was wearing that particular day. These nails are best for chinese new year or christmas I guess!

Thank you Kelly for the awesome font stickers!

Sweet little cousin wrote this on my notebook. How sweet, im gonna get diabetes!

Went shopping again this week and these shoes are my ultimate favourite buys! Both are of the same design, but in different colours. They were both so pretty, I had a tough time deciding which to buy but HECK, I ended up buying both home! The black's more of classic while the brown's vintage. Mad love.

Anyone interested in these Mary Jane hairbands? $3 each! Available in red, pink and checkered (as seen above).

As well as these pokadotted hairbands! $3 each! Available in red and black (as seen above).

Purple silk ribboned hairband at $3 too!

Interested parties, do drop me a mail at lydia_hoon23@hotmail.com

My holidays are coming to a dead end and I'll be starting a new phase of life in a week's time. New school, new course, new classmates, new teachers. Orientation is held next Friday, and I hope I can get to meet new friends/classmates, & be able to click with a few or everyone! I'm praying hard I won't be the only girl in class. *CROSS FINGERS* I don't know if I should feel excited for school or dread it. It's a mixture of feelings inside me and I can only hope that God has everything planned out nicely and smooth for me.

Let's bid the party Lydia farewell, and welcome the new lawyer Lydia!

Although recently a workaholic, abandoning my site is the last thing on my mind. I've tried to update a few days ago but onsugar didn't allow me to insert pictures, which was frustrating. So I sent an email over and the problem's solved! Apparently, my updated version of Internet Explorer caused the problem. Which means I'll have to update using Mozilla Firefox from now on. Whatever it is, IT'S FIXED! And, that's all that matters.

Happy February indeed! I'm back to my old happy self again, and I never want to go backwards. It took me so much to move forward, and I did it, all alone. It's been long, since I felt truly happy. Not exactly happy, but contented. It feels so good to be this way again, and I just want to stay this way forever. My heart is clear, mind is clear, soul is clear. No troubles, no worries. The heavy load weighing on my heart has finally gone for good. Not going to make much of a elaboration, but I've really moved on, for the better! I'd rather stay on the safe side.

I've learnt. There is a huge difference between:

Getting over someone.

&

Learning how to live without that someone.

And now, after all that has happened, I can happily say that, I HAVE GOTTEN OVER YOU/Y'ALL

To that, cheers! Better days are gon' get better.

I've recently went to Club Mink with my partymates to loosen myself up! And I usually don't like to insert my party pictures here, but I thought it would be no biggie to upload just a few this time! The rest of the pictures are up on my facebook.

If you have been following me on Twitter (@loverlydia), I've recently gone ga-ga over vampires and everything about it. Ever since I started watching the movie Underworld, I've been so obsessed with vampires and I desperately wanna be one. There is just something about vampires that really attract me. Their sexy pair of fangs, their pale snow white skin, their sharp blue eyes, their dark outfits and the fearless character that they possess. I cannot wait for Halloween this year! I've always wanted to dress up as a witch on Halloween, but I guess I'm changing my mind.

Officially a vampire fan. To the extent that... I actually ran to the Halloween store to get myself a pair of vampire ''fangs''.

-

-

These are merely just toothcaps. And the depressing part is, they don't work. Firstly, I have braces on. The metal on my teeth does not allow the toothcaps to fit in nicely. Secondly, I tried these toothcaps on my dad's teeth and it couldn't stay either. And lastly, they look extremely fake.

So much for thinking it was my first baby step to becoming a vampire...

-

-

All the vampire craze has to stop. I am just simply being insane.
