Back to School to . . . SMU

Back to my Nail Academy on Tues for my class but I was late! For about 40min I guess -.-''
as I had a hard time trying to locate my school which they recently moved to SMU! Madness!
Initially I plan to take a train there but change my mind last min as I need to change my train
like from Bukit Gombak to Jurong East Interchange then City Hall Interchange to Bras Basah!

Hence, I took a train to Bukit Batok & took bus 106 instead which a smart ass told me that the
whole journey only takes about 40min end up it took about an hour plus! *roll eye ball*

Altho I feel very -.-'' but I still decide to forgive that smart ass for I saw a note she left on my table a few days ago and I only saw it that morning when I'm packing my bag last min! LOL

Thanks babe^^
I feel so surprise and touch when I saw this note!

Have not been updating my lesson on blog as the schedule of my lesson is very complicated.
Ever since I returned from my Thailand trip, I was told to stop lesson for a month as my class
was about to complete their Manicure & Pedicure lesson hence I can only join back when they
starts Nail Art. Feel so cheated when during the seminar I was inform that should I miss out any lesson, I can make up for it with other class else, it will be a 1-to-1 session end up it is not so.
Feel more devastate when one of my my classmate, Madaleine told me that her friend who join the school a batch later then us has just started their Manicure & Pedicure lesson but I am not asked to have my make up lesson with them!? I was only told that when there are any class available for Medicure & Pedicure, they'll let me know again.

So . . . what to do? Feel so cheated & fuck up by their arrangement. *Angry*
I was later back with my original class when they started Nail Art and it was a torture! Because
I've not yet learn how to do proper polish and proper ways of holding the nail polish bottle I was being questioned by my classmate and teacher when I joined back the class. They will ask me tons of question like why do you polish this way? Why do you hold your nail polish bottle that way? Don't you know that it is incorrectly??? Etc . . . etc . . . etc . . .

Anyway, the school arrange me to attend Acrylic & Gel Extension lesson this time which I don't understand why I must jump module AGAIN when I've not even complete my Nail Art 3? Fuck up arrangement. And I got to convert my Part time evening class to Full time morning class till evening in order to study peacefully else for every single lesson I'll be questioned & treated with stares like as if I'm a freeloader!? What the hell, I paid up $4K school fees in cash way before I start my 1st lesson yet I got to be questioned again & again. What's your student ID? Are you sure you are a student in this class . . . blah . . . blah . . . blah and goes around asking my classmate whether they really have a classmate with them call MAY TAY? *faint*
So this is what you get for paying FULL school fees & the 2 month money I paid for my locker went down to the drain since they didn't move the locker over to SMU and when my lesson was stopped for a month. *haizzzzz*
So this is my course note for my 1st lesson on Acrylic & Gel Extension which is the module I look forward to most in this whole course :)

Happy School Days :)

Been busy attending school , making accessories , accompany bestie (Wei Ling) , doing housework and looking after my remaining 9 dogs these days :)

Life has been busy but I am very happy & contented as I'm living my every day happily to the fullest. Just that it could be better if baby is back with me. Kinda feel sad when I thought of my birthday which is coming this September and he couldn't make it back. Don't feel like celebrating it so I guess I'll just hide myself at home and sleep.

Been learning 3D Nail Art emboss , Acrylic Extension and Tips overlay at school recently and it is so difficult! LOL. But I strongly believe that practice makes perfect hence needa practice MORE! But first of all, I got to buy more course material in order to practise :(

Damn broke man.

White acrylic powder and monomer alone already cause me $100++
Studying this course is really not cheap and not easy but I still love and enjoy it because it's my passion and interest. So must 'JIA YOU'!!!

*Bad hair day @ school*
LOL

Many people has been asking me what I intend to do after I graduate and will I open a nail salon after I starts to make good money?

Well
.
.
.

I'll work as a Freelance Nail Technician after I graduated as I adore the freedom of working as a freelancer whereby I've got all the says in my schedule which is what I want but I will never end up opening a nail salon as I do not want to invite any burden on rentals , sales & staff problem.
Specially rental. Once people drag down by this problems they'll try to sell products to their customer to cover which is not something I like.

Got to go now ^^

Modern Kimono: それは現代のきもの

 CHEERIOS~ MS RACHEL.T  

what was supposed to be a 5 mins distraction from my tedious never-ending work turned into this...so might as well post it up for all to enjoy... hope it's not so bad huh? errmm... i meant the Photoshop layout..not the nailart...

i did do this set of color gel + freehand nails super long ago while on a business trip to Japan...it is colored-gel base with white acrylic paint drawing... but as i was saying, i was trying out new layout designs, so the point was not exactly the nailart/fingers for this post...
oki doki, back to working deadlines again...

Taken from PRINA.nailist Mayuko May Tay's Blog on her study experience @PinkRoom. 
She is now an accomplished freelance nailist..do give her some support! I thought her blog post about her experiences at PinkRoom Nail Academy to contain no fake nice words; i found it very personal & real... with her ups & downs... I stumbled upon her blog-posts just last month & had a good time laughing & reading her be-lated posts.

1st lesson @ The Pink Room ^^       08.04.2010

Had my 1st lesson @ The Pink Room International Professional Nail Academy :)
Am so excited for that whole day during work despite having only slept for a few hours on the night before! LOL. And I rushed for my class straight after work without having any dinner hence for the whole 3 hours in class my stomach keeps rumbling which is so embarrassing!
*Laugh*
Anyway here's the pretty Huge Kits that I receive from the administrator during my 1st class~!
Awww . . . Look at the pretty packaging on the Left! So professional yet kawaii right? ^^
Right side of the pix shows what's inside the bag. Basically there is 2 big package
of zipped lock bag filled with some basic stuff we would need to use for the basic
mani and pedi class. For the package on the top right, it's only for students taking
the Diploma course which is me! *proud* it consist of a pink apron which signify
the school Diploma student! *blush* And obviously a fake hand and a cuticle oil
are inside as well. The Hello Kitty note book is given to me from my baby
*thank you* and the notes on the bottom right is what I went thru during the
1st lesson.























And well . . . that's me playing with the Fake hand! LOL.
Don't mind me as I am trying to bond with my Fake hand since it is going to accompany me all the way till I graduate (at least). And since I'm bored, I use it to disturb my dog ^^ *haha* Look at his facial expression and body language! He is so timid like always. *Oopps*






































Full preview of what's inside the kits :)
