Do guys prefer girls with or without make-up? I think I belong to the side who believe in natural beauty.

Haven't you seen some girls in town with tons of powder on their face? Perhaps they are trying to achieve a gothic or monster look, of which I think they are equally successful.

Cosmetics were created for a reason. They are there to make you look better. It's an enhancement, not magic.

I might be wrong but I think the art and beauty of cosmetics is to use it in a way that people don't notice it. What's the point if you have a 5 millimetre thick layer of powder on your face? All boyfriends and husbands in the world would just have powder on their lips after kissing their girlfriend/wife/mistress.

I really think it should be applied to an extent where you don't really notice it. That's for everyday use of course. You might argue that all brides in the world apply cosmetics on their big day. I have nothing against that of course; I would like my bride to look her best on our big day too.

The thing is: I think I try to see girl in their natural way. Look at it in this way: cosmetics can be only be left on the skin for only so long. At the end of the day, it will be washed off with cold cream. No, I don't wish for a Princess Fiona situation. If I have an orge for a wife, then let her be an orge 24/7. (If I even marry one in the first place.) I don't wish to risk getting a heart attack on my wedding night.

I don't want to be a racist, but I think if you have dark skin, you should be very careful of what you apply.

I saw this Indian lady on the street who obviously had too much powder on her face. How in the world can it be natural when your face and the rest of your body are in 2 different tones? Unless, of course, if your idol is Michael Jackson.

I think the movie industry is running out of ideas.

I was at Cineleisure yesterday and I saw a trailer for a show. There were many black female hairdressers in a salon who mix and chat around with their clients. Sounds familiar? Hello? It's just a female version of Barbershop! What's this!?

And the name?

Beauty shop. -_-!

Why are some people so obsessed with brands?

What's the thing about LV bags?

It's just a status thing. Do you even seriously think that the design is nice? No, it's all about the trademark checkered LV logo.

What used to be something really exclusive had been downgraded to something really common with piracy. Hey look, that auntie in that plain t-shirt is using a LV too!

Image is important. I wouldn't wear any cheap shirt not because that it's cheap. It's more likely to have a lousy cutting. Alas, I still have many shirts with lousy cutting. Where can I get a good and cheap tailor in Singapore??? On the other hand, I wouldn't go to the other end of the spectra and buy a Burberry shirt that costs 829.90 SGD.

Good dressing makes a man. I used to imagine myself working in Shenton Way in office wear everyday. I used to like wearing formal wear. I still do now, but I had "upgraded" from office wear to suits and tuxedos.

Even tailored suits can be of an inferior cutting. Mine is a good example. The collar's badly made! I wonder why I didn't realize that for such a long time. Anyone got any recommendation for any tailor for fine wear???

The airport is an interesting place to hang out for coffee when you're bored. It's considerately serene and you get to see all kind of people. There're interesting signs too. At the Starbucks at Terminal 2, there's a sign stating that students are only allowed to study there between 12 am to 5.30am.

The Goat who was there for coffee with me said that it encourages students to stay out the whole night.

To my amazement, I saw Adrian and Yanling at the airport! Adrian was flying off to Australia. He's currently in his second year. I haven't seen them since secondary school! That's like 7 years as of now!

The airport is a place where you least expect to meet people you know. At least that's what I think.

I think I'll make more trips there in future. Any one up?
