My name is Joanna Thinn Mar.
I grew up with a mum who never bothers about beauty but only decency.
I grew up wearing simple clothing.
Fashion of clothes, shoes and accessories were never discussed in my family.
Make-up was banned ever since I knew about them.
As I grow up, I was exposed to all these.
I really feel inspired to try something new, change my style.
But...
It's so hard and I'm not brave enough.
So, I'll start small.... Really small.
My 1st step:
Owning a lip gloss.
The funniest thing I think now, is that, I have no time to go out. But my mum has because she fetches kids from school. And so, my first lip gloss will be chosen by my mum. Hilarious indeed. ha.ha.ha... swt-_-"
Hopefully, she chooses something of my type. I can trust aunty Elaine or aunty Swee Hong but never my mum on make-up. To those who know my mum, you should know why. So I'm sending her out to my my first lip gloss by faith. Yes, faith. God bless, I hope I made you laugh today.

couldn't take my eyes of him
Okay... I know the title sounds quite a "hopeless romantic" phrase, but literally; I couldn't take my eyes of this guy.
He was involved in the accident which took place around 3 months ago where 5 were in a Wira car. 3 got killed, 1 escaped with minor injuries and he was in a critical condition. His name is Thee Kai Yang. I was so worried actually. Before this accident happened, 3 of our schoolmates was killed in road accidents.
We grew up together, sort of. Same school since primary till now. When my friend announced to me about the accident, she didn't tell me straightforwardly but my heart stopped when she said that people died in that accident.
He survived and was in the hospital for more than 2 months. He just came back to school this week. And after school today, I was walking with my friend and I saw him with the familiar yellow Digi bag. I was thrilled to see him. Usually I would breeze walk and zoom pass all the slow moving pedestrians in front of me. Today however, I walked on a slow and steady pace behind him. Observing him walking and how he interacted with this buddies.
Really, I didn't take my eyes of him until we reached a point where I needed to turn right to my mum's car and he kept walking straight to his car. He really lost a lot of weight and the pants that he once tighten to fit to his legs, looked baggy on him. He is literally a walking stick. But then, I'm hoping that he experienced something spiritual when he nearly died that morning. I watched that video from a CCTV of a factory, and the impact with the lorry... the lorry overturned.
God gave him a second chance and I feel a prompting to talk to him.
Seriously, I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Akegarasu Haya Prize Essay Contest
*sigh...
What on earth should I write? Theme: Why my mother is so important to me. I have no idea so far. But the prize is 100 000 yen which is = RM3655. It's not like I have the chance of winning right? Or maybe I have that is why I still am not giving up on this thing. The deadline is tomorrow and it was only today that my English teacher received the letter from JPS. Very efficient; I can see that! Since I'm submitting it on the last minute, I would need to write something of a true story about my mum and yet very creative and bombastic but not full of jargons. Hmm... What should I write?
