Lead in Lipstick

Its been a while since i last wrote an entry... Believe it or not, i was abducted by aliens who did all sorts of weird experiments on me and... Ok ok i neglected the blog.... a little.... Anyway... Been coding my thesis project the past few weeks. Boy am i rusty with C#.... Fortunately i had my past works to refer to hehe.. Managed to implement captcha too... Its the cool little verification code u need to enter to verify user input. Now on to this entry's topic.... Its my first time hearing that lipsticks contain lead... I thought lead was a very poisonous metal for us and yet cosmetic makers add a "miniscule" amount into it... Not sure what they are thinking. Anyway its been rumored that to test if a lipstick has lead, all u need is to apply some on a AL foil and then rub it hard with a cloth... If it turns black then lead is found inside. Its kinda like an urban myth but haha all i can say is that thank god im a guy.... So ladies remember not too much lipstick!!

Entry no. 3...

Lol.... im writing this entry because some "marine animal" bugged me to write it... But fortunately had something to write about...

These past few days i've been hearing a few problems from ppl... Unemployment, not the best trainee etc... In the end all these leads to dissappointment. In life we are always faced with disappointment. About big things or small matters.... It always leaves a bitter feeling in our heart. As the saying goes the higher our expectations the bigger the disappointment.. How many times have i experience extreme confidence in winning something only to have failure punch me in the gut. I've recently had the opportunity to watch videos of Nick Vuijicic.... He's a guy who has no limbs... but still he's happy and content. At 23 he's a professional speaker and has touch the hearts of so many people, including mine. If only we could look at things as he does the world would have been so much better. Perspective is a big word, but it's misunderstood by many people. Humans tend to always see the negative sides of things. Always pointing out each other's short comings. With a change of perspective, we would have seen things in a much different light. Just like putting on a pair of glasses to correct your vision, you tend to see thing much clearly. Sadly its something i've not perfected. I do hope that i will have more opportunities like what Nick had and at the same time touch the hearts of others....

Went for a run last night.. Seems like my stamina increased by quite a bit. Ran for 35 mins and was able to maintain a constant speed... lol its been a while since i last felt that way... Today im gonna swim 30 laps at my pool (i try that is)...

Brisbane

Hmmm 2nd post now... I'm at home all alone... enjoying the peace, listening to music.... Studying in Aussie does bring about a level of freedom that no where you can find. Gosh im so gonna miss this place when i return back home. Still all the memories, all the friends... they will stay with me always. Now i truly understand why ppl invite uni friends over to their weddings. Its not about quantity of time u spend with a person or with people. Its really about the quality of time. Its also why people say you are a different person when you have studied abroad. I write this down as a tribute to all the wonderful friends who have made my time in Brisbane so wonderful. The pals, gals and my aussie "family"... Sometimes i do wish you guys are still here in Brissy.. But no gathering comes without a separation. Here in this blog i've written down the loneliness kept deep deep down within my heart i suppose no one knows. Just hope the next entry will be a more cheerful one. XD
