Makeup Makeover, Oh Oh!
Make up is not my everyday’s routine. The max I would do would probably just put on a lip gloss or lip stick to work. And very often it depends on my mood, what time I get up in the morning and who will I be meeting for the day. I barely apply eye shadow, mascara or blushes nowadays ever since my work role change unless I have on-site appointment when I have to meet clients. Well, you must be an important person if you see me wearing ICI paint. 
I am more towards angmoh style where make up to them is simply making lips more glossy look. Now at this century, we encourage natural beauty, don’t we?
Natural beauty. Ha ha do I even have one? If I do, you probably won’t hear what they said below:
Scene 1
Location: My Office
“Oi Vicky, Please lah….. put some make up lah. You know you look as pale as zombie! If you’re in Korea, people will condemn you for being ill-mannered. Putting make up is showing politeness to them.” - My Colleague’s comment No. 1 took place 2 weeks ago.
“Tsk tsk tsk … don’t you feel naked without putting make up? Ok lah, I give you my Christian Dior eye shadow as gift.” My Colleague’s comment No. 2 took place 1 week ago.
Scene 2
Location: Offce Lobby
I bumped into my friend’s father at the office lobby two and a half year ago. This is what he said,”Vicky, you’re doing sales now. You have to see clients and people, so presentation is essential. Put some make up, eye shadow, mascara, blushes and lipstick everyday. You never know who you’ll meet one day.”
Geez! I felt so embarrassed because the words are out from a man, not woman. Harsh harsh yah. My lipstick just fade only mah. Forgot to put back during the mid day.
Scene 3
Location: Outside the church
Ok, two and a half years later. I greeted the same person -my friend’s father, we are churchmate. We see each other (the father) very often in church anyhow. I’ll call him Uncle KY here.
“Vicky, you losing weight eh? How did you do that?”
“Ahh? Did I? I didn’t do much.” *roll eyes & wonder if I really lost or just an illusion*
“Aww Vicky, lose a bit more and you’ll get prettier. Trust me. Put some make up, remember mascara, eye shadow and lipstick. Doll up yourself, do something to your hair and you’ll be even attractive. ”
“But Uncle KY I just cut my hair and I like it short now, it’s refreshing! Didn’t it give a more sophisticated look by the way?”
“Vicky, you’re a grown up woman now. Not drinking liquid like you used to when you’re young. Now you’re eating solid food. So time to doll up yourself.”
OMG!!!!!!! I don’t know where should I hide my face. I just had to keep nodding to agree with his say 
Man, it’s more real than calling it a deja vu. Same statement made two years ago and two years later.
Ok Uncle KY just in case if you’re reading this piece which I believe it is very slim chance you’ll drop by my blog. Uncle KY, your words of advice are precious. I did search through my wardobe finding myself the best clothes and ICI paint myself when your son and I went for a date.* clear throat* Ahem, to be polite mah 
Time to change?
Time to change.
