The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.

What's up guys? :D I have been going out non-stop these days! Lol, very hectic.

So on Wednesday, Ruth and I went to Pavilion.
*my last shopping spree in Pavilion, boooooo*
We decided to shop first, eat later.
We shopped at The Face shop, Elianto, Forever 21, Cotton On etc.
I like The Face Shop's nail polishes.
Really like the design of the bottles.
You know me, I choose design over comfort most of the time, haha.

I bought 5 nail polishes :

From left to right : The base coat, nail nutrition coat and the top coat.

Followed by 2 very neutral colours.

Then from Elianto, I bought nail polishes again! HAHA!
But these are super pretty~
They look kinda magical, don't they?
Fairytale colours :)

On the left is the colour Lilac, and the one on the right is Glittery Nickel.
I'm totally in love with them!
I think they copied the design of the bottles from Anna Sui. LOL

Right, RIGHT?!

I bought a packet of cleansing wipes, to wipe of the make up on my face.
Don't really fancy using a remover because the one I use is kinda oily.
So this is perfect!

Did you know that I bought this nail polish for only RM1??!
Elianto is having a promotion.
The nail polish of the week will be sold for only RM1.
They change it every 2 weeks, this week may be silver nail polishes then 2 weeks later it may be the burgundy nail polishes.
So you can definitely save up a lot.

Haha, everywhere's on sale now because Christmas is here! Omg I absolutely love gift sets/gift baskets! They are so cute!
With the pretty patterned boxes and colourful confetti. Gaaah!

Then we went Cotton on and I bought a few tees, leggings and sandals.
I dug into the blowout bucket and found these nice black sandals.
And guess what, it was only RM12!
The last pair of size 38 and I grabbed it as fast as I can, haha.
At Forever 21, I was more into the accessories there.
Bought a set of pearl studs.
Obviously they are fake, but mom won't let me wear my real ones, so yeah :(

And I bought this pedicure set.
The nail filers are lovely.
That's all I bought that day because I wanna save some money to spend on the warehouse sale ;)

Thursday
27th November 2009

Me, Carmen and Terrence went to the Atria Shopping Center for the Warehouse sale.

Also including Ted Baker and Bebe.

Was really pumped up for this warehouse sale.
But ended up quite disappointed with it, because there was nothing much to buy.
We were only an hour late, then all the good stuff were snatched!

I manage to find some things to buy back from there.
Like this Bebe tank top that I got.


It has rhinestones all over the heart and wings :)

A few casual tops and a tube dress from Zara, a short-sleeve cardigan and key chain from Massimo Dutti.

This is my old key chain, United Colors Of Benetton.
The rhinestone are coming off!

My new key chain.
Haha, it looks like it can be a toy for Fatty ;D

That is all for now.
Will be uploading and blogging about today's New Moon outing tomorrow or on Sunday.
Stay tune.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

Hi lovelies :)
Today is Monday and I am currently having a bad migraine!
But I still manage to write out a whole post, haha.
I am having trouble sleeping these days.

Last Thursday was my last day of KDU ;(
A day to remember. And somehow I am stupid enough to forget to bring my DSLR to take photos!!! *regrets*
Even though it was the last day, school was still a bore!
Skipped class with Yen In, Shanon and Mei Kee and slept in the Art room waiting for Carmen's arrival.
After she came, we went off to have lunch at OU.
She could have told us earlier that we are going out, then I could have bring some money to spend!
I only had like RM15+.
While Carmen left us to run an errand, Shanon, Yen In and I went window shopping. Because none of us had money to spend, it is torturing! Looking at those beautiful clothes on the rack and knowing that after you've tried it on, and it looks good, you won't be able to buy it because you have NO MONEY! *BIG SIGH*
Shanon and I were in love with the berets from Promod!
Yen In was more into the gloves, LOL. Retard lah you! Go buy wash gloves from pasar laah! xD
Looked at the accessories at Forever 21.
OWL TREND ALERT! Owl jewelry are super cute.
Too bad I had no money to buy a single thing from there.
We walked a lot, until our feet were getting sore.
Yen In and I went into Live It Up while Shanon sat on the bench outside waiting for Carmen.

For your information I love looking at household stuff, and furniture :D
When Carmen came, we all went to have a drink at Juice Works.
Yen In went crazy with the scissors that I just bought from Live It Up! LOL!
Then Shanon and I got very excited, and brought Carmen to Promod to check out the berets.
Shanon bought the blue one, and I got the white one.
I can't show you guys now because I left the beret in Carmen's house ;(
Oh! We saw Boo there too with his friends and a camera in hand.
When it was time to go we sort of raced to One World Hotel, haha.
Sent Yen In back home and Shanon back to school.
Had great fun with them :)
I followed Carmen back to her place for a nap and we planned to play tennis after that.
But that plan failed, her mom invited me for dinner, but I can't because my dad was on the way to pick me up, so yeah no tennis!

Other than that, I wanna show you some photos of my neat book shelf :


The bottom 2 shelfs are all my books : Gossip girl, The Clique, Harry Potter, Twilight, Mary-kate and Ashley's adventure collection (DON'T LAUGH) etc.

The upper shelfs.

All my accessories, and beside them are Girlfriend and Dolly magazines that I have collected.

The top shelf I have my nail polishes, shades and headbands.
I hope I can keep this shelf neat all the time!

A few days ago, Daddy came back from Singapore and bought me L'occitane products!

L'occitane travel pack.


And their soaps. Love love love the smell of these!

Yesterday, Daddy brought me to KLCC for lunch at Chinoz.
I had the most delicious rib eye steak and daddy had mushroom pasta :)
Then we went to Petronas Gallery to look at a collection of paintings and sculptures based on the 21st century.
After that, we went to Isetan to buy bread and pastry for home.
Also went to Kinokunia to look at books.
The book that I was reading was about product design.
It was crazy, very innovative!

I saved the very best for last!
I brought daddy to the M.A.C counter to look at the Holliday Collection.
And Daddy end up buying me the limited edition exclusive Fun In The Sun mineralize kit :D
The Lip bags were sold out, or else I could have bought that along with it.
But I am still very very happy with my mineralize kit!

Some photos perhaps?



Magical, square-shaped silver box.

The inside of the box contains :


A Mineralize Skinfinish in Shimpagne.


 A Mineralize Blush in Nuance.


A Mineralize Eye Shadow (Duo) in Play on Plums.

And a 181SE Mini Buffer.

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH DADDY! 
*twirls*

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

My Christmas wish list :)

An Iphone 3GS.
I have been using a crappy phone for like more than 2 years already.
So I think I deserve a new phone.



Magic, Mirth and Mischief.
M.A.C Holiday Collection 2009
Lip, eye and face kits. Lip and eye bags. Exclusives. Brush bags. Mischief Makers. And Miracles Happen Viva Glam!
Check out mac cosmetics for more information.



A new fragrance!
I can't seem to finish my fragrances.
When I'm about to finish one, my aunt or my dad will give me a new one. And I don't get to choose the scent that I want.
So these few weeks, I am going to go hunt down my favourite fragrance and buy it at the Duty Free store at the airport.



 And a new purse, please ;)

Those are the major things that I want for Christmas. There are small little things that I want, like cute nail filers, a pretty 2010 daily planner etc.
 Can't wait for Christmas :DD
The decorations, candies, sales, and Christmas carols, YAYY!

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?










Thursday
19th November 2009
As I walk across this empty hall
I look back, count my last steps in this school, my sanctuary.
I’ve walked this path many times, but it’s different now.
With each step, each echo…
I leave here a memory, a laugh, a cry, a part of myself.
I feel empty, as I pour out my feelings.
A last reminisce, a last cry, and finally,
A smile.
As I open the door, I pause for one more moment.
And I think to myself…
I’m going to start a new, fresh, another beginning.
I’m going to right my wrongs,
And become a better person.
As this chapter of my life comes to an end,
As this last teardrop falls,
As this last step is taken,
As this smile fades away,
I promise myself this:
I always and forever will be a KDUrian :)

Shopping is better than sex. If you're not satisfied after shopping you can make an exchange for something you really like.


Hey guys, I just came back from OU with Rebecca :)
So now I'm gonna show you guys what I recently bought a couple of weeks ago.
I will show you the things I bought today with Becca in another post as I am lazy to take photos of them.
So last Sunday, mommy and I went to OU again to eat Teppanyaki for lunch. If you don't know what is Teppanyaki, it is a Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook the food. It is the best!
After eating that, we went walking around to buy some stuff for home.
Suddenly we came across this crowd of people gathering in front of a shop. We were curious so we stopped and look.

It was a candy shop called Sticky!
(sorry about the bad photo quality, it's from my phone)





They are high quality, hand made, rock candy style lollies :D
While you're at the shop, you can also watched the skilled and dedicated confectioners make these lollies.
Let me show you a video of Chick vs Dick, where they had a challenge on making their own lollies!

The process of making the lollies is amazing.


Pretty cool huh? :)
I bought a small jar like that for RM13.90. Not bad, consider that it is hand made, and I love hand made stuff!
I don't normally buy lollies, but they are just too cute so I had to buy them!
So if you're going to OU, make sure to stop by and have a look. It is located near Rotiboy on the lower round floor in new wing.

Next off I wanna show you some make up that I bought.
They are your average drugstore brand.


In 2 It long wearing blush in the colour passion.
water resistant - with Vitamin E
I have been looking for a blusher, but I always can't find the right one.
Then one day, on the way to gym, Ruth and I went to Guardian to buy some stuff. We checked out the make up section and found this. Both of us got this blusher because the colour is really pretty and neutral.
The second thing that I bought from there was the In 2 It Greenie long wearing eye colour set.


It comes with 3 shades of green and a shimmery light yellow.
I used this for my Red Rose make up, and it looked gorgeous!
The last thing from In 2 It is the long wearing eyebrow liner in Dark Brown.

This eyebrow pencil is okay, because the colour of it doesn't match my own eyebrows, so it looks kinda weird.
Also bought 2 eyeliners, one's black and one's silver.


I also bought this Maybelline neutral set.
I absolutely love this one! I use it almost every time I go out.
It shapes, shadow and define your eyes.
For your information, I don't use any of the brushes that comes along with these.

Oh, while I was in Pangkor I went sun bathing a lot.
Instead of using sun block to protect my skin I use Banana Boat's Protective Tanning Oil in SPF 8.

It fuses exotic oils and extracts of coconut, banana and carrot into an intoxicating moisturizing concoction that will leave skin silky, smooth and deliciously dark.
Now on, I am gonna use this every single time I sun bathe :)

Mommy has been using this Himalaya Herbals hair products.
When I ran out of shampoo and conditioner, I wanted to buy TRESemme, which I have used a couple of times before.
But mommy insisted on buying Himalaya Herbals.

The Protein shampoo and conditioner.
 I've used it a few times already and my hair is so much more softer and healthier!
It nourishes, conditions with Natural Proteins, and ensures healthy scalp.
It is gentle on your hair.

A few weeks ago, my Anway skin care products arrived at last! I have been waiting so long for them.

2 toners, 1 polishing scrub, 2 pore cleansing masks and 1 moisturizer.

These are the new packaging.
From left to right : Toner, polishing scrub, pore cleansing mask, moisturizer.

And these are the "dynasty" packaging. In the same order.
The new packaging is waaay better, agree??!
I think the best transformation is the toner!
The old one just looks so bulky and old fashioned. Whereas the new one is very trendy in it's cylinder shape.
The colour of all the products are lilac and on each of them they have the scribbled flower which I find really cute.

On one Sunday, me and Becs went to Bangsa for Steve's show at Telawi Street Bistro.
We walked around the shops but unfortunately they were all closing because we went there around 7.30pm.
 Shopped at a Junkyard Sales at Replacement Boutique.

Becs bought a red and black checkered shirt.
Interested in what I bought?
Ofcourse you are :D

I bought a vintage necklace for RM15

And a vintage owl bag for RM89

Stunning detailing.


I have a owl ring, given to me by Nicole for my birthday present this year :)
Perfect match for this bag!

STARTING THE OWL TREND

To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance.


7th November 2009 - 9th November 2009
Pangkor Island Beach Resort
This trip was suppose to be a class trip. The classmates all didn't want to go so it became more of a holiday with the fellow friends. But at last, no one could go, it became a family vacation.
A day before we had to go Pangkor, I was unlucky enough and fell sick!
I had a bad tonsil infection.
Had like high fever the night before, but it went down the next morning.
 Was not in the mood for a road trip.
Daddy drove on the road for 3 hours and we parked the car to catch a ferry to our Hotel.


The ferry ride was slow and I was impatient. I just wanted to check into the hotel and rest all day long.

Arrived at Pangkor Island's little jetti, then a bus took us and our luggage to the hotel.
Checked into our room which was in the Ocean wing facing the ocean :)





Very comfortable indeed!
I napped for a couple of hours as I took my medication and was very exhausted from the road trip.
Shang Wen watched Disney channel while Daddy read his books and sketched.
After they got bored they woke me up and asked if i wanted to go swimming.


I am not in shape to swim so I just went sun bathing :)











Lied down, listened to my ipod and read my book.
The whole place was practically empty because it wasn't the holiday season yet.
I like the feeling of having the beach all to myself!

 Ofcourse there were westerners, they can just lie down on the beach from sunrise to sun down!
They are super tanned :O


Aryani Spa.

Pretty prints on the sand.

It was so relaxing just sun bathing that I slept there for more than an hour.


  The little brother found a rusty bottle from the sea, LOL.

Went back to the room to wash up for barbecue dinner.
Yumms yumms!

All you can eat barbecue buffet. Barbecued beef, lamp chop, cuttlefish and salmon, served with gravy and potato dripped with sour cream. That was da bom, I swear!
We were stuffed after that so we decided to walk around the hotel.
Went to the gift shop to buy some snacks. Then we saw pool and foosball tables.
We had nothing else to do but play.

Daddy went to change tokens and we played a couple of rounds on each of them :)
It was getting pretty late, so we headed back to the room.
I took my medication, watched a bit of tv and slept.

The next day, we woke up early to go for buffet breakfast.

 Had omelet, toast, beef bacon and porridge.
Goood breakfast!
Then for the snorkelling and boat trip around the Island.




Saw fish farms and the fishermen's village. A boat like that (photo above), with all the equipment cost more than 1 million! WOAAH
So not worth it.




Love her highlights :D

We also got to see the famous Pangkor Laut Resort!

Had a tour around the area.
There's an area allowed for couples only and the other side of the area is for the families. No disturbance!




We also visited the town to buy some things like dried anchovies, cuttlefishes, shrimps, which they are very famous for. Daddy bought loads of them to bring back. And I bought a black sarong dress for only RM18.
We only had 45 minutes to walk around in town then we had to head back to our boat to go snorkelling!



Went to a secured area to snokel. It wasn't that great as the water was quite murky.
Still prefer the water in Pulau Redang, where it is crystal clear!
Do you get stung when you're in the water?
I got stung almost everywhere, and it itches!
 Apparently they are tiny jellyfishes that look totally transparent underwater. They are also known as sand flies.


Very annoying creatures!
 That was pretty much it for our boat ride.
Daddy and Shang Wen went swimming at the beach while I sun bathe again.
For lunch, we ordered room service. The pasta and char kuey teow was delicious.
Napped most of the evening till dinner. Oh I'm such a pig!
 Showered and got ready for dinner.

The same barbecue meat, but I'm still not sick of it yet!
Manage to eat other stuff too, like their choices of asian cuisine, coffee and deserts.
Went back a bit more early to our rooms to catch the movie Babylon A.D on HBO, haha.
Slept around 12am.

The last day, we had nothing to do but to laze around.
Woke up late for breakfast. Swam and sun bathe.

My sarong dress.



At noon, we checked out from the hotel.
Sat the ferry ride and went back on the road to KL.

This was perfect for me as I wanted to escape from the hectic city and just chill, taking my sweet time to do whatever I want :)
No more vacations till I moved to Sydney.

A single soul dwelling in two bodies.

Hello guys. If you're wondering why I've been MIA for past 12 days, the reason is that I have more than a couple of things going on.
I have been willing to update my blog but I just don't have the time. OR Even if I have the time, that time is for me to rest/sleep or hang out with people, so yeah.
I am free today, Sunday, so I will take advantage of this time to blog.

GREAT NEWS!!! 
I got my DSLR back from service! No more photobooth photos, LOL.
Anyways, I've been going to school.
Don't think too much, I'm not there to attend the head start or anything like that, I'm just there for the inter-class basketball matches.
I joined the 4 Dicken's team, with Carmen, Mei Kee, Shanon, Yen In, Joyce, Freanceyn, and Michel.
Only because I've been playing inter-class basketball with them since Form 1.
Had a great time hanging out with the ex-classmates during training, even though we didn't go to the Finals this year due to some fuss about us having 3 school team players.
Also I've been going to Josh house a couple times a week for my training sessions with Rebecca :)
She is so awesome, because she makes me sweat a lot!
Then around a day before my Pangkor Trip which was last Saturday,7th November, I fell really sick.
I got very bad tonsil infection.
My throat was inflamed! I got a sore throat, flu and fever :(
Will be blogging about my Pangkor trip in another post!

Okay, movies that I've watched are Pandorum with Joshua in OU.

Don't really know what's going on in the movie because I was concentrating more on eating every last piece of meat of my XXL chicken! Joshua liked it, so yeah :)
During a day after basketball training, Carmen, Terrence and I watched The Time Traveler's Wife in OU.

Wanted to watch it in Cineleisure, but they didn't show the movie there. The movie for me was torture! The pace of the movie was too slow to begin with.
I am truly disappointed. I was prepared with packets of tissue before entering the cinema, didn't even used it for the right purpose.
Instead I blew my nose with it as it was freezing in there.
Last of all, I watched Michael Jackson's This Is It.

I absolutely loved it!
It was more of a rehearsal footage shot of MJ's comeback concert than a movie.
I loved the part where they were auditioning dancers for his tour. All the best dancers from all around the world auditioned for it.
Watching MJ communicating with the musicians to get the right sound/beat for his songs.
He's such a humble and loving person, I love you Michael!

Next post on Pangkor! Stay tuned ;)

Love of beauty is Taste ; The creation of beauty is Art.

Hello strangers :)
Some of you know that I posted some photos of my red rose make up on Facebook and I'm here to blog about the process of creating it.
It was suppose to be my Halloween costume.
Even though I didn't go for Halloween, I still did it anyways, for the fun of it!
Watched a couple of tutorials on Youtube.
Yesterday, I did not go to school, a perfect opportunity to try the red rose make up!

The main things that I used are : In 2 It greenie eye color set, Revlon baby berry super lustrous lipstick 580, Elianto's black eyeliner pencil, 2 sets of M.A.C color lashes, eyelash glue Carlo Rino's shimmery black eyeshadow, fake rose petals and leaves.

I have already prep my face with concealer, sheer lose powd
er and eyeshadow base. First apply your green eyeshadow, make sure to blend the 3 greens properly. Use black eyeliner pencil to outline your eye.


 Then stick your rose petals onto your face with eyelash glue.

After that you stick your leaves at the side of the petals.

Apply black shimmery eyeshadow to the other lid, but before that remember to put on your eyeshadow base! (Don't have one? DIY your own eyeshadow primer/base! The tutorial below :D)
Apply it around your eye and smudge it then use black liquid eyeliner to outline it (I used Elianto's frosted liquid eyeliner in black)
For the other eye, just use an angle brush to apply a thick line of black eyeshadow.

Time to exaggerate the look by putting on fake eyelashes!
While waiting for the glue to dry, put on your red lipstick and on top of that smear on red lipgloss for shine :)
I used Forest'secret juicy shimmer lip gloss in honey red.

AND YOU'RE DONE!

More photos :

My bronze nails totally go with the look :D
Nail polish from The Face Shop.




Dress : Cotton on
Clutch : Forever 21
Necklace : Junkyard sale @ Replacement

Model wannabe! xD

Taking it off was easy but heartbreaking!
 FYI You can still keep the petals and leaves for next time :)

Maybelline make up remover.

A black eye :S

NO MORE!!!

My baby's safe in there.

More to come! Hope you guys enjoyed it :)

There is no sweeter ecstasy than the nectar that is the yearning of your heart.

Hey guys, I'm going to be blogging about how to make your own eyeshadow base/primer.
Here goes :)

The supplies are : a small empty container, cream concealer, thick face lotion/body lotion (in this case I'm using Shea Body Butter from Body shop, but if your using a body lotion/butter, make sure that it doesn't break or irritates your skin), cotton swap.
Optional : shimmer or pigments that you like.

Step 1, cut off the top of your cotton swap. You're gonna use this to mix your primer.

Step 2, take your concealer and scoop as much as you want, depending on how much primer you wanna make.

Step 3, now you can add your lotion/body butter. The amount of lotion should be the same as your concealer.

Then you MIX :D

Clarins shimmer set.
Step 4 (Optional), you can leave your primer as it is OR you can add pigments, eyeshadow, shimmer into it.

Take your shimmer and pour some of it into the container.
 Again MIX!
And there you have it, your very own DIY eyeshadow primer! ;D

Now let's put it to the test.

The AWESHUME DIY eyeshadow primer
VS
The Face Shop, real secret contour kit's eyeshadow base

I'm gonna be comparing 3 different colour swatches.

The row of swatches on your left are from the DIY primer while the one on your right are from Real Secret.
 It depends on what concealer and lotion that you're using.
But I'm more than satisfied with the results :)
A very good way to use up older products I must say.

When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.


*All the photos bellow are taken by my Macbook's photobooth, sorry!*

Finally have the time to update the blog.
Ruth and I jigged school on Wednesday, 28th of October, for a day at Pavilion.
Looked around at Elianto, Accessorize, The Face shop, Cotton On and etc.
Spent quite a lot of money there, especially at Cotton On. 50% sale now!
Some bits of things here and there.

 A silver flower ring I bought from Curve's Flea Market for only RM10.


A black creamy pencil liner from Elianto for RM10.

2 nail polish and an eyeshadow from The Face Shop.



***
LOL, the next day, when I was at Joshua's house, Becca wanted to go Pavilion for Cotton On! So we did :)
And again I bought some stuff.
We had only an hour to shop, when we were half way looking through the clothes in Forever 21, her mom called then we had to go back to No Black Tie.

 Black High waisted skirt for RM49 from Cotton On.

 More to come, halters, dress, tank top, vest, all from Cotton On!
Hopefully the next post or when my camera's fixed :/

Today, Joshi came over to my house.

Watching him play Wii is the most entertaining thing ever!
He's so used to being pro at tennis, but when it come to Wii tennis, not so much :P
OH! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Sorry Jaycee and Jasmine that I can't join you at Desa Parkcity for trick-or-treat.
I celebrated Halloween by wearing my costume at home.
Will be showing that in another post.
Josh had his first taste of my famous butter crab and he loved it!
Went to watch a movie after that at The Curve. We watched Jennifer's Body :D

Oh god, it was gooood! I give it 9/10
Megan Fox is smokin hot!
Haha, while I was leaving, I saw Lawrence, Zam and Arif there :) Happy Halloween guys!
FYI I cut my side bangs and trimmed my ends. Look!

Not much of a difference when I let down my hair :/

LIKE WOW, that was a quick update. Yeah, I'm getting kind of impatient because I'm tired and I wanna sleep now! Haha, I will try updating more often so I don't have to squeeze everything in one post, kay? :)
Love yous, nights!
