It's in My Jeans...


    Day 109

    Ok, so in theory, these nails are fun and cool and shit, in practice, and let me tell you I PRACTICED, they didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The process was to paint the nail the dark blue and when it was almost dry, press a piece of jean material onto the paint to leave an indentation that I would later paint with a lighter blue... like jeans? Not so much. lol every time I pressed the jean into the paint, it smeared, and I'd have to repaint the nail and start the process over. ARGH! :-P Anyway, I wasn't about to give up... and finally managed to get all 10 nails done, and mind you, they're not perfect, but I tried...thats what counts, right?!



    I used Charlotte Russe nail polish in Rocker as a base, with the jeans pressed into it, and Essie Sag Harbor brushed with dry brush against the grooves from the jean. For the copper rivets, I used Urban Vibe nail polish in Charged from Wet Seal, for the seams, I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, and Diamond Cosmetics #319 Lemon Yellow Zest
    for the stitching. For the Levi's tag, I used China Glaze Salsa with China Glaze White on White for the lettering.

    Hope you like? :-P

Crimi-Nails.


    Day 108

    Something tells me I need to lay off the NCIS marathons... and CSI... and Criminal Minds... and... well you get the idea. I'm a crime show junkie. Today's nails are my simplest yet I think, but they're definitely one of my favorites. :-P



    I used Sally Hansen All the White Stuff as a base, with a mix of Zoya Dakota, Zoya Angelina, and China Glaze Salsa to get a blood color.

    All I did to get this look is dab my fingertip in the red paints, blot on paper til I saw clear prints, then press my fingertip on the white nail. :-P Easy crime scene. :-D

    Together on the Red Rhino.
    3rd Firefighter from the left look very sat hor? Haha.
    Best recruitment role model. You see the fire in his eyes?!

    Me on the Red Rhino, i know you can't see exactly where i am but you gotta trust me.
    I WAS ON THE RED RHINO!!! AND IT'S SUPER COOL =DDD

    This is the first thing i snap once i am inside the station.
    COOL RIGHT?! I have always wanted to try sliding down! You know i am a peice of timid dung when it comes to things like that. Like when i was training as a flight attendant, we had to slide down this super long slide, it's just sliding, but i almost killed myself. BUT THIS POLE!!! I wanted to try so much. But due to safety reasons, only the trained firefighter can demo =(((

    This lady here looks like any other lady UNTIL..

    The buzzer went off and there was a REAL emergency call *gasps* She totally switch personalities okay. Before she was this totally fun and interactive lady telling us about the apparatus and purpose of certain items etc.

    *buzzer goes off*
    *Pooof!*

    She's just very serious and does things quick like zoom zoom quick. Like her face and actions just shows it all "I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING AND I AM NOT JOKING, I GOTTA GO HELP SOMEBODY NOW". Serious! She's my heroine in this trip =DDD

    4302209093_7c7ba64993_b
    I am super kaypo, keep trying to find out how much weight the firefighters have to manage in a mission. And at the same time, find out if i am fit enough to be one. Lol..

    4302960414_15305df3ba_b
    Little boy also very ambitious. Haha.

    4302962340_5324aabae0_b

    Their war suits.

    Thou they might not be knights in shiny armour but sure they are as equally brave as any heroes.
    But for sure again, they are not in shiny armour, i mean, their protective suit gets really black and charred after a rescue you know.

    Don't believe see for yourself what the public caught on video, happen to be squad from the Central Fire Station.

    Fire at Moonstone lane shophouse

    Fire at Jalan Rajah apartment block

    Side note, i CANNOT stand it when the maid trapped inside the Jalan Rajah flat started screaming for help. Not all people can stay calm when you know that you are the only lifeline to somebody else, and it is only a matter of minutes or even seconds, before the lifeline disconnects.

    But he is.. He is a firefighter.
    Andy was kind enough to bring us around even having just fought a fire hours before.
    Wooo.. That's literally hot.


    4302167583_56c103bbdc_b
    Okay, this is MY kind of hero =)))))

    4302919562_1ef6edc0ba_b

    Then there's the pole-sliding demo.

    A picture with the fully geared-up firefighter.

    4302231975_43429020db_b
    He looks heavy already, imagine having to dash through fire and obstacles in this outfit.
    IMPOSSIBLE for me.

    I'd be like,

    In-Charge: QiuQiu, RUN THROUGH and get the victim out!

    QiuQiu: HUH?! Me?! No lah, cannot, i just treatment my hair yesterday. $70 leh. Smells like raspberry still. Not ready to char-grill it, sir. Sorry.

    In-Charge: It's life and death matter here! This is an order!

    QiuQiu: Okay, if i told you i paid $90 for my acrylic nails leh? Would you consider asking somebody else?

    In-Charge: YOU ARE FIRED!!!

    Lol.. You know what, i give up even thinking there might be a slight chance i can be a firefighter and be somebody's heroine someday. I'd just blog and urge people with courage and big hearts to want to help and save people, to join the firefighting team in Singapore.

    Hmm.. Firefighter sounds so much better to me than Fireman. Fireman sounds like Postman, the Meepok man, the fishball noodle uncle.
