Favourite twins

Totally missing my favourite twins tonight. Back in those days when we were staying together, everyday was an adventure. I felt like I was living in a dollhouse with life sized dollies!

And look at how they've grown over the years. For some reason, I just feel super proud of them even though I didn't do anything much except by giving them all my sisterly love. 



So cute they make me so proud. Does it even make sense?

This photo on Instagram made me laughed. Too cute. 

          

Haven't seen baileys in forever! Every time we passed by pasir ris when we used to bring Chloe to the pets farm I was always so tempted to ask them along! But I never did cos just didn't know if they were even home. Guess we won't be going there anytime soon after Chloe passed away. 

            

What touched me most was how Rowena sneakily organised my 25th birthday and surprised me by gathering all my closest beloved high school & university friends! I love being surrounded by loved ones and she knows that. Of course she does.  









They're crazy fun and we were super tight. That's why they're still my favourite twins.

That's us. Toys r Us and all. Barefaced and youthful. 


These photos hardly ring a bell but I found them somewhere. And my crazy spunky hairdo! Growing up with them was really an adventure like I said! I think I must be the craziest ever-changing, ever-evolving sissy they never had. Hahaha. So much love! 




Aimee made up the fourth leg whom I miss equally dear! We didn't always get along but once we did, there were fireworks like you've never seen before!

         

Our swimming days before she officially got attached with her Prince Charming. 

          

           

Some time ago during one of our meetup. When life rocked just by us being there for each other. 
                  
           

I truly miss my Channy twins and Aimee dear.

Edit: I went home and digged for more pictures of our youth and found some photo albums! Not the kind you find on Facebook but the Kodak-moments, non-photoshopped kind. 

When Roxanne was just a ickle doll! She must be 15 yo at that time. We were celebrating the ex's 21st birthday aka their big brother. My hairdo was all sorts of funky. 

             

With my favourite pretty auntie. She was a second mom to me. We were really close and she treated me like one of her own kids. She was family. So were all of them. 
          

Too cute for words. Women of the house! 

               

Such good times, though short-lived, will always be etched in my eternal memory! :)

Brow Resurrection + Eye Define (With Images)

Slept the whole day to stave off the fever and boy, do I feel ten times better than I did this morning. I'm on extended MC but I hope I don't get to use it. Pray that my fever doesn't come back tonight.

Time for something productive after sleeping so much. Was looking through some photos and found these meant for a blog archive sometime back. 

In August 2012, I went for the BR + ED package promo which set me back about $1.6k. To chart my journey, I also took photos on the day of my brow and eyeliner job. 

As I looked back on my new brows, I realised it was too dark initially but had faded to a nice natural gray after about 6 months or so. Around the same time, I decided I wanted bangs and had it for about a year before I grew out a side fringe. Alas! My brows had no chance to show itself off. 

2 years on, I could still get away without drawing my brows or putting on mascara thanks to BR + ED. 

 This was, I think, 1-3 months post BR and ED
Scrubbed face, sans makeup, natural light
Best look of my life

 Brows look harsher indoors

 Most current look circa December 2013
Brows are drawn in using brown pencil to soften the look

 Also taken in December 2013
This was taken after my submerged water baptism
No makeup and brows weren't drawn

 One of the first few bangs I spotted
Brows weren't drawn
Annie, my stylist, commented that my brows was too harsh

Most of the time my bangs look like this
Completely covered my brows

The photos below will chronicle my process with BR + ED. I thought the BR was more painful than ED. Some of my friends thought otherwise. When I went for my touch up 3 months later, it was the other way round. Till date, I can only say that I may or may not go back for BR but ED is something I'll probably consider doing again because I have very light looking lash line.

 3 colours to choose from
I went for the darkest shade (top) because I wanted it to last longer and it matched my black hair then

Perfecto brows!
