Happy Chinese New Year!!

2012-01-21T11:39:00.002+08:00

Sorry that I went missing.. again.

As Chinese New Year is just around the corner, I've been VERY busy helping my mom to make new year's biscuit.. FOR THE WHOLE MONTH!! And during CNY, surely I won't be blogging (yet, AGAIN!) due to gatherings. family reunions, house visiting and such. Also, after CNY, I'll be busy preparing to move to Singapore to start my life as a working adult.

So, please bear with me and I'll try to update a little as I go by. If you miss me, follow me on Twitter or subscribe to me on Facebook (no adding as friends please).

Yup, I changed my hair colour again. VERY happy with the results but its all brassy now. Ugh!

Till then, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! Loves to you all!! ^^

[tutorial] Photoshop : Fake your eye colour

2011-12-28T13:20:00.000+08:00

Have always wanted to change your eye colour but don't dare to poke a finger through your eye? Can't afford it? Want to try new colours? Or do this just simply for the fun of it!! :D

Change from THIS :

to THIS! :

Step 1

- Open your photo in Photoshop. Which version doesn't matter but I'm using CS5. The placement of the tools might be different for you but it functions all the same. :)

Step 2

- You'll need to download the contact lense brushes I made sometime back [here] first and put it in a folder you can find easily.
- Select the BRUSH tool (I forgot to highlight it but it is on the right, the 8th icon) and load the brush you downloaded (illustrated above).

Step 3

- When you've loaded the brushes, they are 3 brushes but select the first contact lense brush. It is to add colour to your iris. The other 2 brushes provides definition. You know the black rim on some contact lenses? Yeah, that.

Step 4

- Next, open a new layer and stamp the brush on your iris after adjusting the size and the colour (you can change the colour on the bottom right).

IMPORTANT : MUST DO THIS ON A NEW LAYER!

Step 5

- Erase the unwanted parts with the ERASER (highlighted in the pic).

Step 6

- Then select one of the other 2 brushes and repeat step 4. But this time, you can do it on the same layer. If you know what to do with your layers, you can do however you want. LOL.
- Also, since this is the definition ring for the contact lense, it is advisable to use black or you might end up looking like an alien.
- ALSO, if you don't want the definition ring and wants to stop at Step 5, IT IS OKAY TO DO SO. Skip this step and go straight to Step 8.

Step 7

- Erase the unwanted parts with the ERASER (highlighted in the pic).
- At this point, your eye might look like an alien (depending on your photo quality and what colour you used on your eyes). That's why we need Step 8. If you like the results here in Step 7, you can skip the next step but I suggest not. :D

Step 8

- As I've highlighted above in the pic, try to play around with the MODE (the drop down menu) and the OPACITY. It will make your eyes look more real.
-And you're DONE! :D

Final Product

TL;DR? The instructions above are written in such a way so that Beginner users know where to find what. Intermediate users can just look at the photos and you'll know exactly what I did. Photos are clickable for full size. :)

Link me to your photos if you did one kay? I'd love to see results!! :D

Anyone appreciate un-photoshopped pics?

2011-12-27T01:17:00.000+08:00

Today I want to shock the shit out of my readers. I'm posting a non-Photoshopped photo and a Photoshopped photo side by side. I did actually wrote something like this before [here]. Then, my Photoshop skills are only so so.

Not to say that my Photoshop skills now is ULTIMATE but now I know what I should and what I shouldn't do better.

Edited

Original

Side by side

Okay lah, mayb not so scary because the only scary thing about the original photo is the shiny nose and the open pores.. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

I'm actually copying the look below to enter Female magazine's Maybelline contest. Similar ah?

Want to see something more??

I changed my eye colour! I've always wanted to try grey contact lens but I seriously can't stick a finger into my eye. Tried it but still no.

I actually have a tutorial on changing eye colour [here] but the method I used here is a little different and also easier. Mayb an updated tutorial when I have the mood to? LOL! Will try to.

By the way, the lower eyelashes were fake. TROLOLOLOLOLOL!! Didn't notice that, did you?

On what basis do you think I would like to work for free?

[REVIEW] Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

2011-12-17T14:40:00.000+08:00

I wanted to say so badly that I hate this because I hate how Tom Cruise broke up with Nicole Kidman. Then I just realised how childish I am. Who am I to hate on him? What if the problem to their relationship is not Katie Holmes but Nicole Kidman?

Yeah, I kind of woke up from my fangirl moment.

And even if I had to hate on the movie, I can't bring myself to do it because this is seriously AMAZING!! Like, SUPER AMAZING!!

Storyline was great, cast was great, action was great, EVERYTHING.

Can you imagine Tom Cruise is already 49? And he did all those action on Burj Khalifa ALL BY HIMSELF!!

IS THIS MAN EVEN REAL?! Burj Khalifa is like the TALLEST BUILDING ON EARTH and he's doing all those stunts like nobody's business??

I know there will be safety precautions made but accidents DO happen in case you don't realise!

My favourite scene: "Remember, blue is glue. Red? Dead"

By the way, they should cast Ryan Reynolds as Brant. That will be soooooooo much funnier!! I know that Benji guy is already funny enough and no one wants this to turn into a comedy but... RYAN REYNOLDS!! Okay lah, I shouldn't complain about the cast because they were awesome. ^^

And that Jeremy Renner (the guy that played Brant) just scored himself a potluck because if Tom Cruise were to ever leave Mission Impossible, he would replace the main character!!

My only complain is that kiss Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) had with Jane. Like "HELLO??? The kiss does nothing to the storyline?" Apart from that, I'm all good with Tom Cruise and the movie. :D

A MUST WATCH!

The movie, should you choose to watch it.. will not disappoint.

你会装进什么回忆纪念在行李里面?

2011-12-16T16:12:00.001+08:00

還是要告別還是放棄海拔以下的世界你會裝進什麼回憶紀念在行李裡面
終於要告別終於沒有更多的明天要追你有什麼遺憾依然殘缺還沒有完美
- 諾亞方舟, 五月天 -

Translation :

In the end it is still goodbye, still need to let go of the world above the sea level;
What kind of memory and memorial, will you put into your luggage.
It's time for goodbye, there will be no more tomorrow to chase;
Which regret of yours is still incomplete, still isn't perfect.
- Noah's Ark, Mayday -

My favourite band of all time Mayday 五月天 (yes, BIGBANG wouldn't beat them), came out with new songs (FINALLY!!) after THREE years! TIGA!! 三!! OMG!! But I'm glad they're finally back and I'm waiting for their album to be available in stores.

Apparently, they're having two versions : 明日版 [Now Here version] & 末日版 [No Where version]
I have no idea why they named the versions "Now Here" & "No Where" in English because if translated properly, it should be [Tomorrow's ver] and [Doomsday's ver]. (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ

這是世界上

最後一張五月天專輯

除非2012不是世界末日

This is the last Mayday album on Earth

Unless 2012 is not the end of the world

Yes, according to Mayday, their concept for this album is 2012; where it is supposed to be end of the world. If it really happens, it will be Mayday's last album. I'm very tempted to get both of the versions but I think it's a little over for me to be doing that now (because I'm broke?) so I should be getting the 明日版 [Now Here version].

Why not the 末日版 [No Where version]? Because if there is tomorrow, I'd be stupid to be holding a CD believing it is the last album for Mayday because Doomsday is here. Well, if I bought the 明日版 [Now Here version] and Doomsday is really here, no one will be laughing at my stupidness because everyone would be dead by then. Smart eh?

No matter it's Day After Tomorrow or End of the World, nothing beats good music. Enjoy!

Mayday - Starry Sky

[REVIEW] Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow Mascara

2011-12-15T17:38:00.000+08:00

As you all already know, I've turned blonde last month (or so) and you have no idea how shameful I was to have dark chocolate brows to go with my blonde hair. OMG!! There was this once I rather go out browless than having dark weird brows. I know, I'm weird like that..

I then bought the lightest eyebrow pencil I can find in Ipoh BUT the results are still not very acceptable and I decided that I NEED to get an eyebrow mascara. So I bought Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Colouring Eyebrow Mascara in 01 Light Ash.

I was contemplating at Sasa weather I should get the Kate one instead of this. The Kate one seems a little too shiny for my liking so I've decided on this instead.

Swatches :

Please excuse my weird looking brow. LOL! This make me realise that I really need to let a professional to shape my brows for me.

Usually I will fill my brows first before putting on the mascara but to be fair to the eyebrow mascara, I decided to use only the mascara without filling in my brows.

Review :

Honestly speaking even though I bought the lightest colour available, it still didn't match my hair colour. My hair colour is more to pale yellow while the eyebrow mascara is more to light brown. But then, if I were to match my hair colour to my hair, I think I'll look really weird because I'll look like I have no brows.

The pigmentation of the mascara is quite good. Then again, I don't have other eyebrow mascara to compare to so I don't know if it is better than other brands. I forgot how much I paid for this but if not mistaken, I think it's about RM30 plus or minus. The Kate one is a little cheaper but the size is also smaller.

But will I buy this again?

My brows aren't exactly messy (or long) to begin with and if it wasn't for my blonde hair, I wouldn't even buy an eyebrow mascara in the first place. Some product is a must but eyebrow mascara is not on the list. If I were to stay blonde for the rest of my life, I will buy this again but I most probably won't and this will last me for another year or so. So, mayb not until the need arises again.

My hair diary.

2011-12-06T22:06:00.005+08:00

At first, I'm all prim and proper like this :

Then I decided that I hate my fringe so much (and want to act Japanese/Korean so much), I cut it blunt like this :

Then anyhow, I'm still not satisfied with my blunt fringe because it looks good ONLY when I tied my hair up :

I went for a proper haircut.

I honestly wanted to stay with this blunt fringe a little while longer so I can work out the way to make it wearable for me. But this is too long for me so I asked my hairstylist to trim it for me.

I told her I don't want my fringe to look like this :

Cause I'll most probably look like this :

And the first snip, I know she's trying to do something like this :

Which will make me look like this :

And the moment she snipped it, I went "OH NOESSSS!!!"
But hope is not lost because I kind of miss my short hair from some time back. So I thought, "WHY NOT?!"
And in case you don't remember my short hair from the past :

Photo stolen from Stella.

So I told my hairstylist to snip it all off. Ever since I bleached it, my hair took forever to dry (length not even below the shoulders) and it tangles a lot (which eventually leads to breakage due to combing). So I braved myself and took the leap once again.

I'm not afraid of snipping my hair off. I knew it would look good since my friends all said short hair suits me more.
What I'm worried about is the process of growing it back. I seriously don't want to end up with hair length like this anymore :

Enhances my already round face.

And after dilly dallying for some time, my hairstylist snipped it off without my approval. LOL! She got fed up of waiting.

On the spot, I searched for some hairstyles that I like.
Of course, nothing tops GaIn's (from Brown Eyed Girls) iconic short hair on my list:

I kind of like Eunjung's (from T-ARA) style too but since I've already cut my fringe, I can't go back to have long fringe like her :

Then I have no idea why I showed Hyunseung's (from B2ST) photo to her. I told her I want something like this :

Then, I'm like "WTF?!" :

Because now I looked like Sunny from Girl's Generation (or more widely known as SNSD) :

Hi twin! (I'm gonna get beaten up by Sunny's fans)

Not that I don't like her or anything but this was not what I planned!!!
Thank God it still came out good! :D This is like the shortest hair I've ever had in my life.

Next Epic Hair Challenge : Go BALD!!

Marriage.

2011-12-05T01:35:00.000+08:00

Audrey and Tim are finally getting married!! :D

Photo stolen from Aud's website.

In case you didn't know, Audrey is the writer of fourfeetnine.com and Tim is the founder of Nuffnang. I've been following Audrey's blog for quite sometime now and I've always wondered why they're not already married.

Well, Audrey may not know me but "HEY! I KNOW YOU!!!" and seriously, I feel so happy for you. Congratulations!! Don't know why I'm so happy for her even though I don't really know her in real life. (;¬_¬)

Also, a few of my friends are getting married (and a few already married). I'm really happy for them. And also a little jealous. LOL! Honestly, I'm well known as the desperate one. I've always wanted to be married.

I don't know. Mayb it's the ceremony, mayb it's the pretty wedding dresses or mayb it's the pretty wedding photos.

Somehow recently I've realised that it's because I wanted to tie down the one I loved with me. I thought marriage would cancel out the cheating option for my partner.

And also recently, I realised that my thinking is wrong. Not that I'm stupid enough to believe that men won't cheat after marriage but I don't know how or why that thinking was stuck with me all these while.
Somehow, I didn't want to get married so fast any more. NOW.

Because I realised that after I'm married, I am the one being tied down. Even if my husband were to cheat on me, I am still the victim and I'll be even more heartbroken than now.

Of course, you'll only marry that person when you believe in him right? What if I can never trust anyone? Shall I never get married?

One of the reasons why I won't love my partner whole heartedly is because of doubt. I always wonder, do I have trust issues or am I creating excuses for him? If I can't trust him, why am I even in a relationship with him. Am I demanding too much?

Of course, all these are rhetorical questions. You aren't me nor him so you won't be able to provide me answers. Also, my boyfriend is NOT cheating on me.. YET (I'll never know the future?) but I'm having trust issues from a different aspect of life.

I think I might need to seek professional advice from a psychiatrist. Recommend me one. Thanks.

Ex-housemate visiting..

2011-12-04T18:53:00.001+08:00

My ex-housemate (also one of my closest friend since she lived with me for almost 2 years) came to Ipoh (FINALLY!) for a family trip.

I've been coaxing her forever to come down for the "most delicious laksa" under the tree (LOL! Ipohians will absolutely know about this place). But then of course, it is only my opinion that the laksa there is the "most delicious laksa" in Ipoh.

In case you're wondering about my ex-housemate, she's Kaixin (which I've mentioned quite a few times before).

She sent me this through Whatsapp and said "in case I miss Little Yellow". LOL! That thing was Kaixin's 'bolster' and I used to couple it with my Miao Miao aka Hello Kitty. ヽ(　￣д￣;)ノ

If you don't already know that I cut my fringe, that's how I looked like. Gotta admit that it looks quite nice with my hair tied up. But when I let my hair down, OMGGGG!! Don't know, I just don't like it. Anyways, I cut it myself. And I don't look anything like this now. LOL! But more on that later.. (´∀`)

Went Perak Cave after having breakfast with her family at Foh San. Come Ipoh of course must eat the legendary dim sum right?

I think I might just do another post about legendary foods in Ipoh. LOL

Just outside of Perak Cave.

She usually taller than me wan wor. Why I look so tall here? I know she wearing slippers and I'm wearing heels but the difference is too much!! And please stand in front of me next time can? Your anorexic-like body makes me look fat!!

More like it. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Her cute keychain..

When I see DIY things like this, I always say I'll make one for her for free. But I always didn't manage to do it in the end. LOLOLOLOL!!

I officially thinks that blunt fringe only looks good when you tied your hair up. -.-

After not seeing her for almost half a year, I'm not surprised that it's not awkward at all with her. I do miss my "home" in PJ sometimes when I look back (especially when I can't go anywhere here in Ipoh since I can't drive) but after seeing her, it makes me miss that place more. (゜´Д｀゜)

I miss the times when we wake up at weird hours and walk to McD just for breakfast.
The times when we cook.
The times when we both stayed up all night just to finish our homework.
The times at the mamak opposite our condo.
The times we spent gossiping in her room.

I miss all of them.
Michelle and Bobby especially.

MUST GO SINGAPORE SOON SO I CAN SEE THEM!!! UGHHHH!!!
CNY faster come please!!

I'm backs..

2011-12-02T12:33:00.000+08:00

Just when I started to gain a little bit more followers, now I'm back to zero ground. (´∩｀。)

In case you have been wondering about my presence, I found a job a little while back. That's why I don't have time to blog. More like being too tired to blog after facing the computer for the whole day. o(>< )o

And also, if you've forgotten how I looked like..

Actually it's just my excuse of being vain and wanting to post vain selcas. (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ

Anyways, I've finally bought a eyebrow mascara to match my blonde hair so MAYB I'm going to do a review on it. Wait for it..

Kiss Me HEAVY ROTATION Colouring Eyebrow Mascara in 01 Light Ash

And finally, MAYB a food review on this Japanese restaurant at Greentown, Ipoh. The food is SUPERB!!! Like, I've never been this impressed by Japanese food.. LOL!

Yup, the restaurant's name is Takazen.

Till next time, LOVES. (´∀｀)♡

Since you don't want it, I'll do it myself..

2011-11-17T21:08:00.000+08:00

Since no one wanted me to makeover their blog and my hand is itching, I guess I'll renovate my own blog.

TADAH!!

A blog within a blog within a blog. THIS IS 3RD LEVEL OF INCEPTION!!

Anyways, I was supposed to screen cap the old layout before uploading the new one but I am as forgetful as always. *shrugs*

I wanted to make the banner into a GIF actually with my vain selcas but somehow, I'm not very good with GIFs and I've been doing this and that for the whole day. Tired okay?

Also, I've decided to go back to the "Read more.." option. I like it bettter. Looks neater, but does it bother you?

The blog layout was taken from here. Edited throughout the afternoon by me. Inspired by RIBBONSSSS!! LOL! I even changed the favicon to a Hello Kitty one but.... I don't see it changing. :( Do you see it?

Since I did this today and everything else, I guess there'll be bugs here and there. Please report if you see any. :D

[CLOSED] Blog makeover + Name card design

2011-11-09T16:36:00.007+08:00

Been thinking about this a lot and I need some advertising for my blog.
So I'm here to do a giveaway. :D Well, everyone loves freebies.

But I'll have to disappoint you for a bit. I'm not really giving away anything.

I AM GOING TO GIVE YOUR BLOG A MAKEOVER!

I've been blogging for almost 6 years now. 2 years with Multiply, 4 years with Blogger.
I've went through quite a lot of blogskins and while most of it I've downloaded and tweaked it myself, some of it were originally by me.

I'm a little sad that I didn't screen cap all of my skins (which I should), but I can assure that you'll have a functional skin that you like at the end of the day.

ALSO, I'M THROWING IN A NAME CARD DESIGN FOR YOU!

Just so you know, I am a graduated graphic designer BUT I am no computer programmer. I learnt all the HTML codes myself and I honestly can't deal with JavaScript. Also, I have no idea how to deal with platforms other than Blogger. ~~Unless you have a little knowledge on both Blogger & Wordpress, we MIGHT be able to work something out.~~ On a different thought, I'll just work on blogs that operate on Blogger to save the fuss.

Depending on the amount of entries (and my free time), I might pick one or two blogs to renovate.

Closing date : 30th November 2011
Open to International readers and limited only to personal blogs.

If business related blogs are interested, please email me instead.

My hair care routine.

2011-11-08T10:46:00.001+08:00

I've been trying to take super good care of my hair since I bleached it.
And honestly, I'm super happy with my hair because after 3 rounds of bleaching and all the pulling and tugging, my hair still looked like.. hair.. instead of hay (up to you to think if the pun is intended or not. I think I read too much of Cheesie's blog).

So today I'm going to share what I used for my hair care. Nothing TOO expensive so I believe if my thin and fine hair can stand those harsh conditions, why not yours?

CLEANSING + CONDITIONING
How I do it :
- I use a little shampoo on wet hair and massage a little with my FINGERBEDS (Important : DO NOT USE FINGERNAILS! It will hurt your scalp).
- After I rinse out the shampoo with water, I'll try to squeeze out most of the water and apply conditioner focusing on the ends rather than my scalp. (You CAN put conditioner on your scalp BUT if you never rinse it clean, you will get dandruff. True story bro.)
- Then I'll continue to shower slowly to buy time so that the conditioner can penetrate into my hair shaft. Rinse it clean after that. :)

Because I have fine, limp and oily hair, on alternate days I will use very little shampoo and lather only my scalp, followed by a little conditioner.

Honestly, I'm quite the switcher. I like to try all sorts of drugstore shampoos out there and switch my shampoo all the time. Tsubaki, Clairol, Pantene, L'oreal, Rejoice, Sunsilk, you-name-it.

I wash my hair everyday but depending on my hair condition, I use different shampoo on different occasion.

Recently, I'm using Tsubaki shampoo. The red one. Gotta say one of the best shampoo I've ever tried. No wonder it got people talking. :) Even without conditioner, my hair won't feel super dry like some of the shampoos did (eg. Rejoice).

Then this is the one I'm using alternately with the Tsubaki shampoo. L'oreal Elseve Colour-Vive.
L'oreal Elseve is also one of my fave shampoos out there. I used the pink Nutri-Gloss version of the conditioner before bleaching my hair and it works wonders. Even if I wash my hair with a super drying shampoo, my hair still feels great after conditioning with that.

If you think you don't need a conditioner, you're wrong. Even if you leave it in for 30 seconds, a good conditioner can make your tangle-free and a lot more manageable.

TREATMENT

How I do it :

- Before bleaching, I used to just leave in my usual conditioner longer twice a week.

- After I bleached my hair, I now treat my hair a few times a week. I'll wash my hair like usual but skip the conditioner part. Then I slather on the treatment and wrap a plastic bag around my head.

- Leave it for 30 mins to 1 hour, then rinse clean.

Just bought Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur hair mask the other day and have tried it only once. Can't say if it's effective but it's Schwarzkopf product so I guess it's okay. This is actually cheaper than the L'oreal Elseve one. Only about RM25 at Guardians. Oh, and smells heavenly!!

LEAVE-IN TREATMENT
How I do it :
- Just spray / apply it on your (damp / wet / dry) hair according to what the instructions said.

When I was little, I used to apply a very thin layer of olive oil on my damp hair. Seriously, it works wonders. Even now, it still does. Gonna share some DIY hair treatment I learnt from isroxck with you all in the next post.

These are what I use on my hair now. Yes, you didn't see wrong. I put Hada Labo toner on my hair. Where do I get that crazy idea from?

The blue coloured bottle is Lucido-L's Hair Treatment Water that is the first product that included Hyaluronic Acid in their hair care. Yes, the same element that Hada Labo is famous for.

So why did I apply Hada Labo on my hair instead of the Lucido-L Hair Treatment Water?
Because one of the ingredients for the Lucido-L Hair Treatment Water is alcohol and alcohol is supposed to be bad for your hair. I thought if Hada Labo is safe enough for my face then it should be good for my dry hair. :D

Well, I'd say my hair is so dry now it'll absorb any shit I put on.. I have no comments about it being sticky or whatsoever. :D Does it works for my hair? I'll have to try it out longer. :)

The last bottle with the green liquid is some kind of crystal serum Stella gave me. Too oily even for my SUPER dry hair! But I guess it's okay for now until my hair restores it's health. :)

And I forgot to insert the miraculous oilve oil. You can just buy any brand of olive oil. A little work wonders.

There's a lot of Pretty Girls in this town..

2011-11-07T00:42:00.001+08:00

While trying to find a suitable title for this blogpost, I came across this song and liked it instantly. :D
LOL! So not my song but I don't know why..

WAIT! I'm NOT trying to imply that I'm pretty but further down the post, you'll see pretty girls. :D

So, ready to see more of my blonde hair pics?

This pic doesn't look like me at all right? AHAHA!

I like this pic a lot. :D Forgive me on the flyaways thou.. the aircon was blasting.

It's been long since I wore a strapless dress. ^^
That day was Stella's convo so I dressed prettily for her.

I was supposed to wear Carmen's navy blue one piece! It looked soooooooo good with my blonde hair!!
But too bad it was a little too big for me so I'll have to stick to this flowery dress..

Stella said want to take OFTD pic for me but too bad I didn't!! T____T
It was quite a pretty dress..

Btw, Kei was there!! So damn long didn't see her already. We used to have NS gathering once or twice a year but recently we have't been organizing any. :/

Yeah, she's a friend from my National Service period. Alongside with Stella.
Amazing right? I get to be in the same camp with a good friend. :D

Trying to look scary with the blue light. #fail

A proper one with Kei. :D

LOL! Yeah, apparently the pics I took with Stella at her convo wasn't so pretty so decided not to upload them. XD

Just another selca anyways so nothing special.

Then met up with Carmen at night! :D

Yeah, still in the same dress because the convo ended quite late. BUT I'M STILL CLEAN OK?!

Seriously, my forehead is so freaking high! No like.. ;/

Went Berlin for some dinner and beer!! ♥ It's been so long since I had some BUT THEY NOT SELLING BLACKTHORN CIDER ANYMORE!!

WAEEEE?! Where else do I find Blackthorn Cider in Ipoh?! T______T

This photo was taken by Carmen's boyfriend. His pose while taking this photo was damn funny! LOL!!

Hi boyfriend ♥ (FOREHEAD!!! T__T)

AND CONGRATS ON YOUR CONVO GIRLFRIEND. :D

Dunno if she will blog about it but go read her blog at alletsstella.blogspot.com! :)

My hair bleaching experience.

2011-11-06T16:45:00.001+08:00

As all of you already knew, I bleached my hair. I'm now blonde.
But seriously, the process wasn't that easy.

And pictures doesn't tell a thousand words. It's just different from real life.
THIS is my hair colour in real life. SO DAMN FREAKING YELLOW!!

The story goes like this : -

My brother came home with bleached hair. Orange like Kurosaki Ichigo.
He came home all showing off saying how cheap and such, coaxing me.

Like THIS!

I fell into his 'trap' and went to the saloon he recommended.
Damn!

It's some saloon operated by aunties. I wanted to run away then but I thought the results came out good for my brother so I shouldn't be judging a book by it's cover.

Now, not that I'm looking down on cheap saloons. I used to go to this really cheap home saloon and the hairstylist was great! But aunties and fashion don't really go. How can they understand what I want?

Gyaru? Ulzzang? Platinum blonde? Dirty blonde? Blonde like Xiaxue? Strawberry blonde like Jessica?
Heck I even wonder if they know what is a toner.

And I was right.

Lesson #1 : NEVER DISTRUST YOUR INSTINCT! I should run in the first place.

SHE FUCKING ASKED ME TO WASH MY HAIR BEFORE BLEACHING IT!
I knew I shouldn't be (I didn't wash my hair the day before) so I was a little taken aback. But this is also my first time bleaching, I thought "They are professionals after all, they know what's best."

PROFESSIONAL MY ASS*!!

And the aunty working on my hair was so fucking rough with me, tugging and pulling my hair! I seriously swear that my hair NEVER knots. I dyed my hair so fucking many times before and never once it's condition goes worse than being just a little dry. Never knots. AND SHE MANAGED TO KNOT MY HAIR!! Never mind if it was accidental but WHOLE HEAD?!

I know it's hard to work with dyes but HELLO!!! I used to be the hairstylist for my housemates. Dyed numerous head and never once I knotted their LOOOOOOONG hair. I have SHORT hair okay?

Never mind that but WTF she used her fingernails to wash my hair, scratching my scalp!! I NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER SCRATCH MY SCALP. I used to and because of that, it bleeds a lot. And takes SUPER long time to heal. I quit that habit and ONLY use my finger beds to massage my scalp. Never had a problem with my scalp ever since.

Now, my whole head is covered with burns and scabs. T_____T
I am seriously panicking a little inside.

Will all my hair fall off? Will I die? Will it heal? What happens if it's infected? Should I see a doctor? Should I go back to the saloon and claim medical fees? Should I sue them?

My heart aches so much seeing how much my hair came off due to breakage. Not because of the bleach but because of the person handling my hair.

Lesson #2 : Do NOT let anyone you've never worked with bleach / dye your hair.

I am seriously regretting this hair job. :/ I'm not getting the colour that I wanted and I paid twice to what I used to pay. :(
What I'm getting is a Barbie doll yellow. YELLOW!

I want ashy blonde like Gayoon's (left) :

I don't mind it being like this (the lighter colour) :

I don't even mind if it turns white like this :

I don't mind any blonde as long as it is not yellow. My colour now is just WRONG!!

Don't get me wrong. I am happy that I am finally blonde after dilly-dallying for so many years but every time I look into the mirror, the yellow hair pisses me off.

I am seriously hunting for a silver / purple shampoo. If you happen to know where to get one, let me know please. Also, wait till the scabs heal.. I'll then deal with you, Annoying Yellow Hair.

I SWEAR I WILL NEVER STEP IN ANY SALOON WITH AUNTIES WORKING IN IT EVER AGAIN!!

Then again, please don't be discouraged to bleach your hair after reading this. :) If it is done by a good pair of hands, it will turn out great! :D

NEW HAIR IS FINALLY HERE!!!! ♥

2011-11-04T00:22:00.004+08:00

If you've read my previous post [here], you'll know that I've been wanting to dye my hair.
AND I FINALLY DID IT TODAY!!!

I'M OFFICIALLY BLONDE!!!

BUTTTT!!! The results we not as I expected. :/
I wanted something more ashy, less yellow and more brownish.

My hair now seriously looks like Barbie doll's hair. OMGGG!!
Like a wig!!

Barbie doll hair anyone? :D

I know in photos it looks good but in real life, I'm totally 'seafood' like. -.- Those living out of Malaysia might not understand the 'seafood' term. Sorry.. hehe!

I still cannot stand the colour of my hair so I might dye my hair again sometime later. PLUS, I really want duo-toned hair!! :/

On another random note, this is my dinner today!! :D

Yeah, it's only 2 eggs, 1 cucumber, 2 apples and 1 tomato! But it's damn full!!!
I wished my dinner is like this everyday.. ^^ I seriously like raw vegetables more than cooked ones. Wished the tomatoes were strawberries instead though.

But of course, I'll miss RICE!!
I guess I'll get through it 2 days without it. Oh well.. :D

Things I unearthed..

2011-11-03T02:07:00.001+08:00

I started packing today.
More like sorting out the stuffs I brought back from KL last time.

But this also means that I'm leaving to Singapore soon. :/

RUBBISH!!! Everything!!!

I don't know about everyone else but every time I do packing / unpacking / cleaning, I take up the whole day! Some times two!

I dance around, look through books that I'm unpacking, spent time thinking if that item should or shouldn't be thrown away. OMG!! I actually have short attention span. -.-

Came across these beautiful ang pow packets. I'm pretty sure I have a few more pretty ones stashed away somewhere.

And also one of my fave assignments project.
From the painted egg to the logo, to the nutrition facts to the box, I did it all myself. *proud*

Also, my last present from daddy. :'(
I kind of coaxed him to buy this for me. Still, my favourite perfume.
[Review here.]

Unearthed a lot of other valuables but those will be kept private! XD

On another totally random note, I went to the Sushi Bonaza with my mom!
The crowd was so crazy we actually left and came back the next day.. with a MORE crazy crowd. -.-

JUST LOOK AT THE CROWD ON THE FIRST DAY!!!

Also, apparently both me and my mom are small eaters. Both of us only ate 12 plates and we were SUPER FULL! (Though I still bought Starbucks after that.. but that's another story XD)

Coloured plates are so pretty! ♥

Also, remember to check out my cover of SNSD's The Boys. :) It's for a competition.

I'll appreciate a lot if you click 'like' on the video. THANKS!! ♥♥

† Happy Halloween †

2011-10-30T23:48:00.002+08:00

First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Honestly, I don't even know when is Halloween lol but anyhows, Happy Halloween la. XD and enjoy your party! :D Just remember to play safe!!

I want to attend Halloween party also. Never been to one. T____T
If got chance, I want to attend as so many characters.. Marilyn Monroe, Catwoman, Corpse Bride, fairy; just to name a few..

Since I don't have any Halloween parties to attend to, I have all the free time in the world and used a little bit of that time to do my nails.
Winter is coming soon so I did something more frosty; silver tips with a black star on each finger. This is inspired by Song Jihyo. I saw her wearing this design (without the silver tips) on one of the Running Man episodes.

Unfortunately, all the stars came falling off after my bath. LOL!
MY FAULT!! Cause I never stick properly.

Went out to watch In Time yesterday at Jusco. OMG! Don't know what happened but parts of Jusco were not functioning. Air-cons not working, lights were off, McD don't have gas for their soft drinks, movies not running. WTFFF!!

But luckily, everything were restored before my movie starts. :D

A mini review on the movie In Time?

The concept was super interesting! Time as money and life.
Justin Timberlake's acting was amazing! His body was ASDFGHJK!! :D
Amanda Seyfried was not bad herself. I like her but not so much her character.

The storyline, is another story. Totally disappointing.
There's quite a lot of plot holes where I can simply insert a solution without much thinking. So, why is it still a problem? Simply speaking, the plot is too unrealistic.

Two people robbing BIG banks successfully numerous times without difficulties? WTF?

But this is still worth to watch it in the cinema so I don't want to ruin the movie for you.
GO WATCH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!! :DD He'll give you sexy back!! No joke!

You might ask : "Which contact lens are you wearing?" My answer is : "Photoshop's Dodge & Burn"

FOTD : Taeyeon inspired look in The Boys

I wanted to do SNSD Taeyeon's make up look in The Boys MV but kinda failed. T___T

I don't dare to use a heavy hand on my lower lash so this is somehow a tamed down version of Taeyeon's look. :) Very wearable.

If you don't already know, their new song The Boys came out not long ago. :)

The girls are super pretty!! The song.. so-so only. BUT!! Search for the remixes and they're so much better.

One of my fave remixer, Epitone.

I've been wanting to do a photo based make up tutorial for sometime now but seriously, it's hard to do make up and camwhore at the same time. -.- Mayb I'll try to do a tutorial for this? Not promising but I'll try my best. :D

Then went for Daorae for dinner!!! :D
Supposed to "celebrate" sailou's birthday but he arrived late!! Late never mind hor, ATE JOR ONLY COME!!

Lei hou yeh!!

Compulsory proof shot!! :D

A table full of FOOOOOOD! This is why I love Korean food. :D

But every time I'm at Daorae, I'll miss Kimchiharu. I like Kimchiharu's kimchi better. :D And their DDUKBBOKI!!! Ugh!! Thinking about it makes me salivate. [Click for review].

And it's TEH BENNY's birthday soon!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNY TEH!!!

*photo stolen from Stella. orz

Seeing this photo makes me miss my pixie hair. :/ Anyways, SEE YOU SOON!!! :D
Come back we go Chaaaaaa!! :D (hope you see this la harr)

Ending with a pic of me being bored. Anyeong!

Rest in peace.

2011-10-27T21:40:00.001+08:00

If you have been following my blog, I'm sure you know that my grandpa was fighting with cancer since a year ago.

Today, I just want to say that he passed away last week and is now resting peacefully.

It's quite funny how his body is in the living room (Chinese customs) and all of our family members are sitting around him, chatting & laughing like usual with occasional tears.
It just seems like he's sleeping there with us around him.

Honestly, it didn't quite hit me that he's already dead until the last day when we sent him to the burial place. That he won't ever wake up again and I won't ever see him again. :'(

I'm actually quite relieved that he finally passed away. No, I'm not happy but I'm relieved.
He has been living in pain and has been suffering for the past 3 months. Only lying on the bed, can't even move his fingers.

It hurts so much to see him like that. When he was healthy, he used to work all year round. He likes to work.
I feel so terrible for him that he had to lie on the bed all day. My mom said there were a few times he was so in pain he asked her to chop off his head. :(

Now that he passed away, I hope there is no more pain for him.
God, please take care of him and also of my family, especially my grandmother. Amen.

P/s : Comment section is closed as usual. :)

If you have not seen your father's corpse;
If you have not clean dried blood of your father's;
If you have not waited for someone's death;
If you have not watch someone die;
If you have not been the host of a funeral;

do not talk cock with me.

Obsessed friends.

2011-10-18T16:40:00.000+08:00

Randomly today, I want to talk about my friends.

I'm sure many of you have experienced jealousy over your best friend being close with her ANOTHER best friend or even more so, with your friend instead of you. Guys may not experienced this before and there will be a lot of question mark in their heads right now thinking, "WTF? Friends only mah. What to jealous about?!"

Well, they're totally right.

I honestly admit that I've been through that period of time during my secondary school period. But afterwards, I realised that I've been over sensitive. Psh! What was I thinking? I mean, look at us! We're still good friends until today. :D She didn't run away with her other best friends. (And most probably she never will. -.-)

PLUS, what happens if she did? It's not like I'm going to marry her. It's not like I'll die without her. And I definitely don't live because of her.

Well, I don't know if this happened to you before but if you have a friend who is jealous of you having other friends, either you better be careful or be grateful.

Anyhow, she's worried about you and she genuinely care about you.

BUT, if situation runs wild.. I'd say, she's crazy. Tell her that she's crazy and don't worry about it. When she's matured enough, she will know how stupid she had been.

IF, you are the obsessed one.. I'd say "It's time for you to let go." I'm not saying that you should stop being friends with her but both of you are different entities. She has her own life and so do you.

Remember, she cares about you too. Just not the same way you cared about her. At the end of the day, she is STILL your good friend. :)

Random Bell is random.
Goodbye and good day! I'll end this with SECRET's new song, Love is MOVE.

Wishlist. Top 5 of the moment!

2011-10-15T12:18:00.000+08:00

1. Urban Decay Naked Palette / 15th Anniversary Limited Edition Palette

THIS IS OBVIOUS WHY I WANTED THESE!!
I've heard so much about the Naked palette and wanted one soooooo badly since I've started using more neutral make up. But I doubt I can finish the whole palette or is able to refrain from buying other palettes until I've finished using this. Which is the main reason why I still haven't got one. :/

Swatches of the Naked palette [here].

The 15th Anniversary Limited Edition palette? I don't really like the colours but THE BOX!!! HAHA, this is somewhat of a job sickness. Wanting to own all those nice packagings, postcards, leaflets, adverts... =.= Though I doubt anyone will do this but I still want to ask : Anyone wants to throw away the box? I'll pay for the postage! XD

More detailed pics of the box and the colours of the eye shadows [here]. Also, swatches of the 15th Anniversary palette [here].

2. Benefit Benetint

THIS! I've been wanting to get one since YEARS back when I started to read magazines and got to know about Benetint. I really like the idea of lip tint and since this can also be used as a cheek tint, that's a money saver!

I am so going to get this when I finish my current blusher. :D

Swatches and review [here] or go ask Uncle Google for more.

3. Deborah Lippmann nail colours

I've only discovered about this brand of nail colour recently when I developed a sudden interest in beauty blogs. It's actually nothing special but the COLOURS ARE AMAZING!! I especially love their glitter nail polish. Mind blowing!

But unfortunately(?) it is not available in Malaysia and honestly, I haven't seen any blogshops selling this. :(

(OMG! I just checked and it's available in Singapore!!! BUT $33 FOR ONE BOTTLE!!!)

I guess I'm fortunate after all for them not being sold in Malaysia or I'm gonna regret my whole life just being able to look but not buy. LOL!

4. Beats by Dr.Dre / Soul by Ludacris

I've been wanting a Beats since spotting Lady Gaga wearing one in her Bad Romance MV. BUT THEN HOR, BIGBANG endorses Soul recently!! So I'm debating with myself on buying a Beats or a Soul. I like Beats' design better but Soul.... BIGBANG... T____T

I mean, who can resist THIS?!

I KNOW! I should get a fake Beats and buy an original Soul. Not half of a bad idea right? :D

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SUCH A FANGIRL?! FML!

5. Video camera

SO I CAN START DOING VIDEO TUTORIALS, VLOG OR SHITZZ YOU DON'T WANT TO WATCH!!! LOL

ASUS N43SL Jay Chou Special Edition

2011-10-11T12:35:00.001+08:00

I haven't mention about getting a new laptop right?
Heh, this new baby of mine has been with me for almost a week.

*Photos taken from ASUS website

SPECIFICATION

CPU : Intel Core i5-2430M Processor (2.3GHz, Turbo up to 2.9GHz) / 3M Cache
OS : Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Display : 14” LED backlight HD (1366 x 768)
Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM Graphics
RAM : 4GB DDR3 RAM (upgraded to 8GB)
HDD : 640GB SATA HDD
Optical Drive : 8x Super Multi-Dual DVD-Rom
Connection : Integrated 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth V2.1 + EDR, USB 3.0
Battery : 6 Cell Battery (5200 mAh)
Webcam : Built-in VGA Camera
Warranty : 2 Years Global Warranty

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Jay Chou. All my friends know about this fact. But nonetheless, I cannot deny that he is a talented guy and writes amazing music. I just don't like the way he sings and his attitude.

I remember there was once when he published his 2nd or 3rd album (he was on the TOP at that time, no one else can top him), he said "If my new albums doesn't sell better than my older albums, I will stop publishing."

I SWEAR I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP!! Jay Chou fans please confirm. *crossed fingers*

But I'm pretty sure his newer albums doesn't sell as much as his previous (better) albums (again, Jay Chou fans please confirm). So why is he still publishing?

Yeah, he had this arrogant aura around him that I don't like. PLUS, he did not confirm his relationship with Jolin Tsai and went public with Patty Hou. WHAT'S WITH THAT?! It's pretty obvious right that he was in a relationship with Jolin right? Ugh.. fickle-minded guys. Don't like.

Anyways, I seriously don't like him in person but I admit, I like his music. He took Mandopop into a whole new level. And also, I am not an anti-fan. I don't wish or curse that he will stop publishing; although his new albums are only so-so, who knows what breakthrough he has in the future?

Okay, this has turned into a Jay Chou post. =.=

I have to admit though that this laptop is finely designed.
The cover is pretty (I bought the red one), keyboard is comfortable (but a little too large for my short fingers), specifications are not bad with 2GB of NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M and also USB 3.0 (if you think it makes no difference, go try one with your HDD)!!

By the way, THE SOUND SYSTEM IS SPECTACULAR!!! Nothing to be compared with professional speakers but for a laptop, this is amazing! But I must say that it's maximum sound is a little too soft.

BUT, I must say that I'm a little disappointed with the touchpad. Somehow I couldn't get the "Disable Touchpad" (fn+F9) button to work and I always accidentally brush against the touchpad. :( Plus, the touchpad on my BenQ have the ability to scroll and this unfortunately doesn't do anything much.

This very much concludes everything that I wanted to say. I know my review on the laptop is much shorter than my dissatisfaction on Jay Chou *LOL* but a laptop is a laptop and as long as it runs smoothly for whatever I want to do and doesn't give me problems, I'll be satisfied. :D

Dear BenQ (old laptop),

Thank you for serving me for 3 years. I know you're not anywhere near broken. I know you're full of dust and need some cleaning. But you also need to know that you don't have a graphic card and whenever I do my work, I feel like dying with all the lags. I won't throw you away just yet because in the future, you will be serving my dad until you cease to function.

You served me well. :) Thank you.

Lovingly,

Your soon-to-be previous owner.

Am I cheating?

2011-10-04T12:18:00.000+08:00

Dating and hanging out. Where's the line?

Honestly, I have a lot of guy friends. Sometimes they would ask me out for breakfast, tea, dinner or supper. Some would ask me out for movie, drinking or DoTa session. And I usually go with them, without my boyfriend.

Am I cheating on him?
No, I am not because boyf usually knows who I'm going out with and what I'm doing with them. He never opposes to who I'm going out with.

But to the guy friends that I hanged out with, are we hanging out or are we dating?

Guy friends are a lot of fun, no doubt.
Easy going ones make you laugh non stop. Caring ones make you feel like a princess. If you're the only girl there, even better.. ALL the attention on you. Never boring.

I can get all that from my boyf, so why am still going out with guy friends?

Am I testing my market? Not really. I'm determined to marry the guy I'm dating.
But why am I doing this?

Plainly just because it's fun. It's platonic. End of story.
But why some people just can't grasp the fact that friendship between the two sexes can exist?

One of my close guy friend, Alfred.

I see this brat almost everyday for the past 3 years, Lawrence.

This was taken when we went up to Genting out of boredom. Just the two of us. LOL!

Boyf, if you don't already know. XD

Do you believe that platonic relationship with the opposite sex exist?

P/s : Nah, none of my guy friends are being weird but [this article] got me thinking. ;D

Android Top 10 Apps.

2011-10-02T17:12:00.001+08:00

As you've already know, I've been using an Android phone for some time now and I totally love it. I love how you can customize every thing from the launcher to the keyboard to the font. :D

So I'm here to share some of my favourite apps at the moment.

Please note that my review is based on my own experience and neither am I a professional that understands an Android inside out. Heck, I don't even know how to root my phone. LOL!
So if I stated any wrong facts, please correct me. :)

1. Camera360
Download : Free | Paid

This is my fave app of all. It is a camera app that has a lot of different effects and the quality of the photos is good. Most of my recent photos are taken with this app.

Likes :
- option to save both the edited & the original photo
- high resolution photos (up to 2560x1920)
- option to tap on screen to take photos instead of the camera button on screen (which is a total life saver for those who like to take selcas because we don't have an eye on our fingers)
- option to silence your camera instead of silencing your phone

Dislikes :
- can't save the app on SD card and this app can take quite a lot of space
- can be buggy at times (seldom but it happens)
- can't import photos that you've already taken with another camera app (isn't a main problem to me because this is my main camera)

Some photos I've taken using the Japanese style effect (without further editing) :

Using Lomo effect (without further editing) :

2. Plume for Twitter
Download : Free | Paid

Twitter addict? I recommend this app. Apart from Tweetdeck (which is also one of my fave), THIS IS THE ONE! Why I choose this over Tweetdeck? It's because this saves on SD card. Which means MORE internal memory for you to install other apps that can't support "save to SD" option.

Likes :
- ability to save on SD card
- highly customisable

Dislikes :
- the pull down menu to write new tweet isn't so convenient
- loads slower than Tweetdeck (but tolerable)
- must install the free version first for the paid version to function

3. GO Launcher EX
Download : Free

This is a home launcher app and I totally recommend this because it is so much smoother than the stock launcher. Customisable, often updated and totally FREE!!

Likes :
- full featured & FREE
- highly customisable & lots of themes available on the market
- faster than stock launcher
- constant updates to new features & bugs fix

Dislikes :
- buggy at times but nothing major.

4. WhatsApp Messenger
Download : Free

Need me explain more? If you have a data plan, having this cross platform app means it's free to communicate with your friends from iPhone to Android to Symbian or Blackberry all around the world (provided you have their phone number).

Likes :
- group chat feature
- can send photos, music and files
- CUTE EMOTICONS! (my fave is --> )

- doesn't drain much battery

Dislikes :
- I don't know if anyone notices this but it says that we have to pay after using it for a year. (Can anyone confirm this?)
- no call function

Note : I know Viber is available on the market now but when all your friends are using Whatsapp, how are you going to call them using Viber? Plus, Viber is ONLY available to iPhone & Android users.

5. MOLOME™
Download : Free

Most probably the only thing that Android users are jealous of iPhone users is because of the app called Instagram. (Well, not all but I do.) Hallelujah! Molome is the Instagram for Android.

Likes :
- Twitter & Facebook integrated
- very much functions like Instagram
- ability to import photos from other apps

Dislikes :
- VERY few filters
- not as popular as Instagram

6. JuiceDefender
Download : Free | Beta | Plus | Ultimate

The battery of your Droid doesn't last you for a day? This is a must download! Better if you buy their Plus or Ultimate edition for even more controls. This app will cut off your 3G connection (eats the most battery) and WiFi when you're not using it. My Galaxy Ace can now last me 2 days and a half with one full* charge.

Likes :
- seriously works
- ability to sync your Facebook, Twitter, Mail & etc every 15min (depending on your setting)
- Night Mode where it cuts all connectivity to save battery when you sleep (depending on your setting)

Dislikes :
- incoming messages for apps that needs data (eg. Whatsapp / Viber) will be halted (INSTANT messaging no more)
- buggy at times (seldom but then again, it will happen once or twice)
- must install the free version first for the paid version to function

*Some may not know this but full charge for Galaxy Ace will display a 100% battery icon on the left side of your status bar.

7. MTXX 美图秀秀
Download : Free

If you're familiar with the desktop version, you will totally love this. Can't do as much as the desktop version but totally comes in handy if you like to edit your photos. :D

Likes :
- A LOT of filters
- ability to import pictures from other apps
- easy to navigate even though it's in Chinese
- constant updates to add more filters & fix minor bugs

Dislikes :
- reduced photo quality (major disappointment)

Some photos edited using MTXX :

8. FriendCaster
Download : Free | Paid

Honestly. this isn't the best Facebook app around. The reason I'm sticking to this is because it's ability to save to SD card (I'm running REALLY low on internal storage) and it loads so much faster than the original Facebook app. Plus, the original Facebook app isn't sending me any notifications. T__T

Likes :
- installs on SD card
- loads faster than the official Facebook app
- more function than the official Facebook app
- ability to tag friends

Dislikes :
- buggy at times
- can't reply to Messages in-app (it will take you to the Facebook mobile page)
- can't share posts shared by others
- better than the official Facebook app but still lacks a lot

9. Advance Task Killer
Download : Free | Paid

Your Droid lags a lot? Most probably many programmes are running in the background. Solution, download this app and be free of lags forever! :D

Likes :
- ability to kill apps every 30minutes (depending on your setting)
- ability to ignore some apps that needs to be continue running (eg. Whatsapp / Twitter)
- SUPER simple & easy to use

Dislikes :
- would be perfect if it is able to prevent some apps from running on it's own (eg. Maps)

Soon to be new hair :D

2011-09-30T14:33:00.000+08:00

My hair stylist finally agreed to bleach my hair!! It's so funny because I've been wanting to bleach my hair for a long time and she always rejects every I said I wanted to bleach my hair. Supposedly she didn't want to damage my hair.

IMO, she's just plain lazy. LOLOLOLOL!!

Anyways, thinking of what colour to get.
A few months ago, I've done some research(?) and found a few colours that I like.

This is Miyake. Photo taken from her [site].

Gayoon & Hyuna from 4Minute. Wanted to get Gayoon's colour.

Apparently, this is Chinatsu Wakatsuki but I have no idea who she is.

This is Suzi. Photo also taken from her [site].

I have also been thinking a lot if I should get ombre hair like this : -

Or just blonde tips like Taeyeon from SNSD since I have short hair.

But then suddenly, I had this idea to have my hair coloured two toned vertically ala Japanese gyaru's style. I'm not anywhere near gyaru but it doesn't mean I can't do it right?

My hair is about the same length as hers. It'll look something like this? :D

This one looks amazing!

But then again, I'm afraid of changes that's too drastic (since when?) so mayb I'll only do something like this :

Yay? Nay?

My DIY Nails for Fall.

2011-09-29T17:14:00.000+08:00

I've heard that this Fall, browns, greens and metallics are really in.
Coincidently, Bubz mentioned that leopard prints are really in this Fall too. Watch the video below.

I don't really have that patience to do the heart shape so I just did normal leopard prints. Haha.

Am quite impressed with myself for being able to paint BOTH my hands. :D
You don't have to worry about the messiness because leopard prints are meant to be messy anyways.

I used a light peach base and a metallic orange base, a bronze colour for the leopard prints and a super deep plum colour for the outlines.
All nail colours from The Face Shop & Elianto.

This was my nails with aqua glitters. I thought this will be SUPER hard to take off (those who had glitter polish before will know what I mean) but I eventually managed to peel them off because I piled on the polish like no tomorrow. LOL!

Okay, I know I super random at times. Haha!

*more randomness*
Going to watch Killer Elite tonight.
JASON STATHAM & ROBERT DE NIRO!! ♥

I know you miss me..

2011-09-25T15:46:00.001+08:00

..if you don't have my Facebook. :D

Specs from here.

Necklace from Vincci. Earrings from flea market.

Nail colour is Lovely Me:ex Nails in OR201 from The Face Shop.

Vain pic again. My hair is LOOOOOONG!!

In case you're wondering where is the LONG in my hair, refer to this :

Bye all! :D

Looking for a room to rent?

2011-09-24T00:59:00.001+08:00

Recently a few of my friends were looking for houses to stay in PJ / Singapore and as a 'GOOD' friend, I helped to look and ask around.
But since I'm not staying in PJ any more (nor Singapore), all I can do its help look around.. on the internet.

BUT, internet is a worldwide thing and whenever you search for 'rooms to let', everything starts popping up from all around the world. And usually, if you DO found a website that is helpful, it is either not up to date or very clustered or not enough details. Worst of all, doesn't suit your taste.

Then I came across this website, iBilik.com that my friend introduces me to and I thought, why not share it on my blog since it needs to be updated somehow.

I mean, no harm right? Since this is informational and anyhow my blog is dead. :/

And soooooooo many people has been asking me to help them to look for a place to stay, it is only proper for them to look through the selection themselves to see if it suits their taste right? :D

The rooms are very detailed with prices, terms & conditions, features, map and tons of PICTURES!!

The website is in English, very simple and easy to navigate. And what the hell, it does not only display rooms to rent in Malaysia but also in SINGAPORE and INDONESIA!

Their rooms selection range from short term rentals (by days) to long term rentals (by months), from rooms to houses to hotels. Everything you need in one website. :D

By the way, just randomly browsing around and this Ibiz Hotel looks good. :D For RM80 per night that features a double bed with breakfast for 2, internet and air-con, definitely a steal! Look so clean some more. So go check it out!! :D

Red lips.

2011-09-17T01:22:00.000+08:00

I've decided to do this post so I can participate in Ling's Linky Party. LOL!
I saw her doing a post on a drugstore brand red lipstick (and I know she LOVES red lipstick) so I've decided to include my fave drugstore brand red lipstick! :D

I'M A RED LIPSTICK LOVER TOO!!

I honestly think that I can't wear lipstick that is NOT red. Pink just look super weird on me and never I'm going to wear purple / mauve lipstick. Nude lipstick just made me look like I'm sick and brown lipstick made me look darker than usual.
Mayb I haven't try much of a colour but for the time being, RED IS LOVE!!

Left : Cyber Colours (bought sooooo long ago the label wore off)

Right : Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 750 Kiss Me Coral

The Cyber Colours lipstick is my very FIRST lipstick. I was pretty daring huh? Buying a RED lippie as my first one. But I was very much into red lips back then (still is now) so I have no regrets buying it.

Years passed and finally, my Cyber Colour lipstick has almost come to an end so once again, I'm set off to find another red lipstick and I fell in love with the Revlon lipstick.

It may not be obvious but the colour payoff for the Revlon lipstick is much better than the Cyber Colours one and the Revlon lipstick is more to the coral side rather then the Cyber Colours one which is a little more to the bluish red.

I love both colours but I love the Revlon one a little bit more because the coral red makes my skintone looks a bit brighter and it stays much much longer than the Cyber Colours one. :D

The colour of the lipstick is more true to this pic rather than the first one.

Death.

2011-09-15T00:48:00.000+08:00

How does it feel to know that someone close to you is dying?

I don't dare to pick my calls from my family expecting to hear something like, "He's gone.."
I'm worried when I see someone at the gate expecting to receive bad news.
I can't enjoy whatever I do thinking of the sick.
I want to spend time with him but I can't because I don't want to cry in front of him.
I'm worried of my mom and her feelings.
I'm back to praying, hoping for a miracle.

I am just waiting for the bad news to arrive.
It feels sooooooooooo awful..

Again, comments are not allowed. I just want a channel to voice out what I can't say to anyone else.
I don't want pity so I can feel pathetic.
I know you all cared about me but you don't have to voice it out. I know it from my heart. :)

WANTS : NARS Blush / Bronzer Trio

2011-09-10T13:27:00.002+08:00

I am into beauty blogs recently and while browsing frontrowbeauty.com, I came across this!!

I know that NARS blusher is pretty popular among beauty bloggers but I wasn't really interested in the blushers because.. it's just a blusher. I can simply replace that with my lipstick or a pink coloured eyeshadow. Yes, I am thrifty just like that.

Plus, NARS blushers don't come cheap. It's huge and god knows when I'm going to finish one pan of blusher. What if I'm bored of the colour halfway? Such a waste right?

BUT!!! Look at the swatches!!

photos taken from frontrowbeauty.com

SO PRETTY!! It's pinkish coral with GOLDEN SPECKS!! Seriously too pretty I can't even!!

And it comes with a bronzer + highlighter!!

But seriously, no matter how pretty it is.. I know I won't get this. I just couldn't. :( My heart aches more than my wallet. I have the money to get it but my brain just keep telling me "NO!" T_______T

So, if anyone is going to give me this as a present for Christmas or early bday present, I'm going to love him/her forever.(Which I believe no one will do so LOL)

I mean seriously lah, if you have the money to buy it you will buy it for yourself instead of gifting me right? Why you want to give me a present in the first place? HAHAHAHA!

Outing with "Lexy"

2011-09-04T12:07:00.005+08:00

Hi all! :D I'm back again with ANOTHER post with lots of pictures!! :DD

Went out with Stella the other day to catch up. And also because she wanted to watch "Conan The Barbarian". (which I'll complain about later)

Mai cutie pouch.

I almost regret buying it because it was sooooooo small sized but I'm sooooooooo glad I bought it because of it's small size. LOL! And this cutie goes with ANYTHING lorr!! S-E-R-I-O-U-S-!

And right, I think I've been separated from Stella for sooooooooooo long that I feel awkward to take selcas (self camera) in the car. OMGGGG!! What happened to me?! T____T

Stella FINALLY had Daorae!! LOL! She was complaining about the lack of kaki-s for Korean stuff so I finally accompanied her first Daorae experience. In IPOH! LOL!!

Yeah.. I know my post is randomly written and honestly, I have nothing to say about the outing. Say what worr? Stella come fetch me, we watched movie, walked around for a bit, dinner, Chatime then home lor.

Compulsory proof shot every time I'm at Daorae.

SEE!! I told you we're awkward. We didn't even take one, satu, hana photo together. T___T This is the only pic I have of her. Tweeting most probably.

And before I forget, my thoughts on "Conan the Barbarian"! WORST STORYLINE OF THE YEAR. Alongside with "Super 8".

Honestly, I'm a little sceptical about this movie because I've seen quite some bad reviews about it but the bits of the trailer seems promising so I ended up watching. -.-

Like seriously SERIOUSLY, there's sooooo many things to critic about but I don't know where the heck to start. Incest, useless mask, love story that spells WTF, useless characters, storyline that goes in a round about, useless scene, under-developed storyline..

Honestly, there were soooo many useless scenes! The dungeon with the monster in the water, the capture of Remo, the incest scene, the jail scene, the scene where Conan fights with the sandmans, the etc etc etc. This is one super predictable movie.

And the main focus is actually on the mask. But the supposed mask that can transform you into God, does nothing but just an accessory.

OMG! I know I'm randomly writing things down but this is so warth inducing I don't even!!

*deep breathing* Kay, I shall reduce my stress by looking at my own cute pics. Har har har. -.-

This is me after being out there for 8 hours. Say hi to my flat and oily hair. (I WASHED IT BEFORE I GO OUT!) And wae I looked like I have blonde tips? XD

Angry cat? Angry bunny? Angry hamster? Nan molla..

Yeah, I know I'm turning 24 in 5 months time and I don't have the rights to act cute anymore. D: But a sexy & mature concept is sooo hard to maintain when I'm in a hobbit-sized body.. >.<

Before & after pic.

See how ZERO lower lash transforms to FULL lower lash? XD Thanks to Majolica Majorlica Lash Expender Frame Plus Mascara and 3 individual lashes. Make up is like magic.

I know you can see the separation between my upper lashes and my fake lashes but I won't bother because they're super short anyways and you won't notice them unless you stare at me like crazy which I think is super rude.

And yeah, I don't (more to "can't") wear colour / enlarging contact lenses because I'm super noob. -.- Somehow I think it's a good thing because I won't spend a ton on different colours of contact lenses and less opportunity for eye infection / discomfort. :D

By the way, ZERO foundation / BB cream for the pics above!! :D Only concealer for dark circles and nose area + blush. Somehow, staying indoors for 2 months really 'whitens' you and gives you better skin. Or should I credit my Etude House Minisize U Pore Smoother Serum? Hmm..

MOAR PICS!!

2011-09-03T18:54:00.001+08:00

From the Vignette app I talked about earlier... (more like a cheat post)
*All pics are taken with Camera360 and imported to Vignette to get the effects.

Taken at Penang bridge a few weeks back during anniversary trip.

Taken yesterday at Chatime Ipoh.

Yeah, necessary vain pics included.

And the last pic is dedicated to my beloved Kaixin. Miss you.. and your ass.

Hate Namewee = BN supporter?

2011-08-31T12:48:00.000+08:00

Honestly, I'm not a supporter of any politic groups. Not PKR, not DAP, not PAS and definitely not BN.

I just don't have that 'thing' for Namewee's tasteless lyrics and blah melody. I can't make music but I definitely won't categorise Namewee's music as.. "music".

Yes, he might have spoken up for all(?) of the Malaysians but that doesn't make him a good musician. I am not ASSUMING that he makes tasteless music by only judging that very few controversial song of his. I've tried listening to his other songs and I totally went -.-

Of course, what he said (sang) isn't wrong completely but seriously people, he can sing what he wants and I can't say what I want? He can be opinionated and I can't?

He's the hero for exposing the government and I'm the betrayer for not being his fan?

???? HELLO PEOPLE? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

You can be open and support Namewee but you go hating and spamming on someone's channel because I hate Namewee? Where's your 'open' mind?

Very childish okay?

You can't force someone to like distasteful music okayy? Well, I think it IS distasteful and since he can sing about his disliking of the government, I can keep my opinion about his song being distasteful. END OF STORY.

So, stop stereotyping and assume that I am a ignorant, dumbass BN supporter just because I hate Namewee.

You are the ignorant, dumbass Namewee supporter with a closed mind. -.- Instead of watching Nasi Lemak 2.0, I suggest you read more newspaper. Or turn back time and follow [my Twitter] during Bersih 2.0.

I am too, supporter a for fair and clean country. PLEASE DON'T SIMPLY FLAME PEOPLE! -.-

Trip to KL.

2011-08-28T16:33:00.004+08:00

Took a trip to KL yesterday!! :D
I thought I'll settle some stuff with (ex)college, get my graduation photos and pass something to Jackie.

I told you I've got the best boyf right? HE DROVE ME ALL THE WAY TO KL AND BACK ON THAT VERY SAME DAY!! Love him so much right? ^^

Mayb you thought, "Cheh, whose boyfriend doesn't do the same?" Well, good for you but this is the first time someone do something like this for me. So.. HE'S THE BEST!!! MUAHAHAHA!!

For the longest time, I've been missing you mai darlings!! ♥♥ McD breakie!!

Since I'm back from PJ, I don't have the chance to wake up at 7am and walk over to McD to have breakfast with Kaixin anymore.. T____T

I have no idea why I fell for McD breakfast because I used to hate it. Like "NO! I WON'T EAT MCD BREAKFAST EVEN IF I DIE OF HUNGER!!" that kind of hate. -.- Humans do change after all.

Vain pics spam.

I think mai DSLR forgave me already because I've been utilising him more often now. ^^

In return, he takes pretty pics of me.

I thought I'll list down my make up products and WOW! I didn't know I put so many stuff on my face. -.- Well, beauty does require hard work after all.

The products listed below is what I used on that day. I switch between different colour of eyeshadows or lip colour or different type of eyelashes each time but the rest of my make up stays the same most of the time.

Face

The Face Shop Extra BB Cream

Maybelline Angel Fit Perfect Concealer in 02 Natural Beige

L'elan Vital Perfect Coverage Dual Concealer in Natural Beige

The Face Shop Dewy Flower Moist Loose Powder in 23 Natural Beige

The Face Shop Illuminating Cushion Blusher in 02 Orange

Eye

Preciosa Eyebrow Pencil in Brown

Loujene Eyeshahow

Majolica Majorlica Shadow Customize in RD422

Majolica Majorlica Perfect Automatic Liner in BK920

Majolica Majorlica Lash Expender Frame Plus Mascara in BK999

China fake eyelashes

Lips

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 750 Kiss Me Coral

NYX Round Lipgloss in Apricot

By the way, none of my cosmetics cost more than RM50 per item, except my BB Cream. Well, it serves as a barrier between my face and the make up so I thought it's worth investing in something more expensive. :)

Nothing exciting about mai trip. Thought of meeting up Alfred but apparently he was working on a Saturday. Whatsapp-ed Karen and Stella but no reply. So ended up not meeting anyone and watched Final Destination 5 at Sunway Pyramid.

MIAOOO!! Totally have no idea why I agreed to watch in the first place. -.- Everyone was laughing at how the head flew off and I was screaming + hiding under my jacket. -.-

I don't even dare to watch because I'm afraid of getting more ideas for my stupid dreams.

Had this horrifying dream just the day before the trip where my boyfriend in the dream (I don't even know who it was) was chasing me in some shopping mall after a movie and I took a lift to runaway. The lift was moving like a rolling coaster AND THE LIFT GOT NO WALLS LORR!! Only a few bars to hold on to. It feels like I'm going to fall off any time.

I forgot what happened in the middle and I was kneeling on the floor face to face with another stranger (guy). I was holding his hand and boyfriend in the dream slashed both my wrist. POOLS OF BLOOD ON THE FLOOR!! Then I woke up. -.-

Surprisingly, this isn't scary at all because I've had even scarier dreams before this. If you follow mai Twitter (@Isabellmiao), you'll remember reading something about blood on my face and teacher eating student's flesh and students failing test. Yes, I remember my dreams. And I have INTERESTING dreams every single day. But recently I seem to have less dream OR (most probably) I couldn't remember much about my dreams. Wae?

Anyways, end of dream story and this camera app called [Vignette] is super awesome!! ♥♥ I can take pics with Diana or Holga effect OR customize whatever effect you want. Get the paid version [HERE] because it can do sooooo much more than the demo version.

These photos I imported from Camera360 to Vignette and applied the filter to the photos.

This photo and the McD breakfast photo above is taken directly with Vigenette.

KKEUT!

[REVIEW] Etude House Minisize U Pore Smoother Serum

2011-08-24T20:02:00.000+08:00

It has been about 3 weeks since I first started the Etude House Minisize U Pore line and I think it's about time I write about the review that I promised.

Read part 1 [here].

For the whole 3 weeks, I've been using those products day and night without fail. I would cleanse my face, apply the toner, then the emulsion then the serum (yes, the serum is supposed to be applied last).

Toner

Texture
For the toner, obviously it is watery like any other toner but you have to shake it before use because it has some kind of powder in it and it will divide into two layers if you leave it for long.

Smell
It has a serious overpowering rice wine/alcohol smell in it. It was sooooo powerful it feels like you could get drunk from drinking the toner. Erm, I kind of enjoys alcohol so the smell doesn't really bother me but if strong smells turn you off, this is one product you should stay away.

How to use?
I would shake the bottle, take a cotton pad and wet it with the toner then wipe it all over my face concentrating on my nose and cheeks (where pores are more noticeable). I would also suggest wetting a generous amount of the toner on another cotton pad and leave it on your nose/cheeks for a few minutes if you can stand the alcohol smell.

Emulsion

Texture
It is cream-like but much more watery than usual creams. I guess that's why it's called emulsion? LOL!

Smell
This smells a little similar to the toner minus the overpowering alcoholic smell. It smells much lighter and calming with a hint of baby powder smell.

How to use?
After the toner, I pour a little onto my fingers and apply it on my face like I would with any moisturiser.

Serum

Texture
The texture is very much alike to the emulsion but thicker. Not to the extent of being cream-like though.

Smell
Smell is almost exactly like the emulsion.

How to use?
After the emulsion, I squeeze a little (one pump or mayb half-a-pump) and apply it on my whole face (concentrating on my nose and cheeks).

Texture of the products.

My verdict

Despite being heavily scented with alcohol (which I usually hate when it comes to skincare), I don't know why but I really like the toner. I store my products in the fridge and when I applied the toner, it's REALLY refreshing.

I cannot differentiate the emulsion and the serum though. It seems like the same product; only the serum's texture being thicker than the emulsion. When I first applied the products, it absorbs and leaves my skin feeling smooth. But in a hot and humid country like Malaysia, it soon turns oily on my T-zone.

Did the product really 'minisized' my pores? I'd say, not really. :( Somehow I felt like it was clogging my pores instead because the product was too moisturizing. The product might do you good if you sleep in the air-con room but for normal to oily skin/combination skin, I wouldn't recommend you to buy this product. IF you already did, I'd say use ONLY the emulsion during the day and the serum during the night.

Will I purchase this again?
I don't think so. I might buy the toner and try the astringent but not the emulsion and the serum.

Yeah, that's about it. If you have any questions, ask away on the comment section. :)

What's your dilemma?

2011-08-23T01:24:00.000+08:00

Dilemma.

Fighting with your own self trying to reason out why you shouldn't dump that boyf of yours? My answer, DUMP HIM AT ONCE!
If a guy ever gave you a reason for you to think about wanting to dump him or not, probably you should. :)

LOL! The above situation has got nothing to do with me or the people around me. It's just came out of me suddenly so I wanted to jot it down.

The one being in a dilemma right now is not me. But somehow, his dilemma became mine. -.-

Yes, I am this kind of person.
If you cry, I'll cry along. If you laugh, I'll laugh 10x harder. If you have a problem, I'll think of a few solutions.
If you're in a dilemma, I'll be in the same dilemma.

I just want you to know that I'll support you no matter what option you take kay? MUACKS!

And I'll end this super random post with a picture of me. Fresh off the oven. :D
(Actually, the main point of this post is this picture of me but it's weird just posting ONE photo of me in a post so I made something up to fill in the post. PUAHAHAHA! Yes, I'm lame just like that.)

I know I need to do something with my dark circles but they are natural and I can't do anything about them. They won't go away no matter what. -.- So, I'll just let them be.

Chalja~

Miao pics, again.

2011-08-21T20:09:00.002+08:00

HI ABANDONED BLOG! I'm back with more vain pics!! -.- And hi readers! WHY YOU ALL NO COMMENT?! :D

Went to watch Rise of the Planet of the Apes the other day with (who else?) Mr.Boyf. I realised that I totally have no friends in Ipoh except boyf. -.-

I've been sitting at home rotting for the past one month and a half. Not that I'm complaining since I wanted this break but WTH! SIEN SEI NGOR LARRR!!!

I know I owe Jackie his namecard design. T_____T But my Bumblebee mouse died on me. Then my laptop went crazy. OMG!! And I don't have Illustrator on my mother's desktop!! T_______T Jackie, if you're reading this, I'm so sorry.. I promise to update you ASAP!!

Anyways, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was SUPER good! :D I'd say one of the best movies of the year! Honestly, I think it was better than Transformers 3.

Boyf (or was it me?) bought Baskin Robins because it's Pink Wednesday!! And I still look super kiddish even with make up. What's wrong with me? -.-

Left : Boyf looked better so I drew over me.
Right : I looked better so I drew over him. LOL!

Left : When I took this photo, there was a shadow cast on my upper lips making it seems like I had moustache. So I thought, "why not?" :D
Right : ^^V

My brother said I looked like some aunty from the olden days dressing up like this. -.- Is it me without the fashion sense or is it my brother exaggerating?

2nd Anniversary Trip: Penang

2011-08-15T15:37:00.000+08:00

Boyf and I went to Penang for our anniversary. :D
I've been bugging him to bring me there since a few months back so I was happy he finally did. WHOOO~

Compulsory vain pics. I believe my DSLR is doing a sucky job in taking pics of me because I've been abandoning him for some time. He's throwing a temper by taking ugly shots of me.

I got my NYX make up the other day so this is how Tea Rose looked on me.

By the way, a little review on the NYX make up before I continue.

I bought NYX Round lipstick (Tea Rose) and NYX Round lipgloss (Apricot) online. So naturally, the products are posted to me with Post Laju.

But unfortunately NYX lipstick couldn't stand the heat during the delivery process and were melted a little resulting in a broken lipstick. I was kinda sad because putting it in the freezer isn't even helping.

So I ended up transferring the whole lipstick into a pot. Inconvenient but wth, it works. :)

So we reached our hotel after a looooooooooooong winding road. And by loooooooooooong, I really mean LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! I didn't realize Batu Ferringhi was going to be that deeply hidden. We should've just stayed at Tanjung Bungah.

BUT! The hotel makes up for it! :D

We stayed at EQ Ferringhi Hotel. It was cheap (RM88 per night), just beside the beach, clean, tidy, spacious and it has the biggest toilet I've ever seen in a budget hotel. Serious.

I'm so going to stay there if I were to visit Penang again. :)

Boyf trying to take a FEW unglam shots of me. Oh well, we're at the beach anyways, how glam can one be on the beach? ^^

That day was SUPER windy! I kind of regret that I didn't take off my fake eyelashes before heading towards the beach because it was soooooo uncomfortable feeling like your eyelashes are going to fly away any time.

Boyf trying to act.. Act what I don't know la.. ^^

And the beach was super empty!! So not fun!! We didn't even go into the water because I thought it looks weird with only two of us playing in the water. We took some photos, stroll around for a bit and boyf went to get a foot massage from an aunty working there.

It was nothing magical but definitely relaxing.

Read some reviews online and some of them recommended this SUPERB restaurant so we went and ordered crab but wth, I felt so cheated lorr!!

Two dishes costs us about RM60++.

The crab was fresh but it taste blah. Not really what I had expected in mind. :( And the kailan was bitter. Taste blah too. For RM60++, I think we should've went to The Ship instead.

The RM3.50 crabmeat kuey teow I had beside the street were nicer than the crab I had there lor.

I had this somewhere near the Toy Museum. Not bad.

We actually wanted to try the Lorong Selamat kuey teow but it was soooo expensive according to the reviews and I thought it wouldn't worth it so we had it at the roadside. I'm glad it was good. :)

We were dependant on our GPS throughout the journey so there was one funny incident where we drove all the way up to Kek Lok Si when all I wanted was just to buy nutmeg.

We could've just bought it at the foot of the hill but no, we drove all the way up to Kek Lok Si and after boyf parked his car, I asked "Why are we up here? We want to buy nutmeg only right? I saw some shops selling it down there.."

Boyf and I went: =.= and paid RM2 for the parking. LOL. Pabo!

Miao pics ^^

2011-08-14T11:35:00.000+08:00

After I got my new phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace for those who didn't know) and an app called Camera 360, I've been taking vain pics like crazy.

I thought, why put to waste when I have perfectly abandoned blog?

Left : A face that I'll make whenever boyf doesn't want to go my way.
Right : Ignore vain pic.

Left : IDK why but boyf likes to do this to me. =.=
Right : And he force me to show my rabbit teeth. I cannot decide whether I look more like rabbit or hamster. Mayb I should change name to Isabellcit. You know how how hamster squeaks.. *lame*

Vain pics please ignore. :)

Left : Boyf and his unusually high nose trying to decide what to eat.
Right : At an unusual place to eat, Secret Recipie. *lame*

Left : Somehow, I enjoyed doing this.. PUAHAHAHA!! And my droopy eyes are so cute!! ^^
Right : Pink blush are so cute!! ^^ Btw, I wore a "bunny ear" out. Too cute!! ^^

Showing you another side of me.

Well, most of you might not know (actually I don't think any of you knows).. I actually do things like this. If you watched the video above.. yes, that was my singing.

When I'm home alone, I whip out my mic and start recording. Everyone knows how much I love singing and this is also the reason why I want a home studio.

I actually start uploading to Youtube about a year ago. And seriously, I have improved a lot. From singing skills to mixing skills. I am not saying that I am a good singer right now but I can say I am a better singer than yesteryear.

Why then only I tell the world now? Like I said, I've improved a lot and I think my singing now is decent enough to let my friends know what I've been doing in secret.

And I am also afraid of people that will laugh at me. I know they meant no harm but sorry, it is not funny. I take this seriously. I WILL BE ANGRY IF YOU LAUGH AT MY EFFORTS. I can take criticism and I appreciate comments but not humour on my effort.

I know, my singing is not really super good but I do this so I can improve.

Doing things like this may have no point in my life. But at least this is something I like, something that I want to do. I am not joking when I say I want to be a singer back then. Singing is seriously one of my passion in life.

Although, I know being a singer is not an option. It will NEVER happen no matter how hard I try. But if a person is living without a dream, what drives that person to do better in life?

I want to do this proud. Please don't make me regret making this public.
THIS, is my dream.

~* 2nd Anniversary *~

2011-08-10T22:39:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow.. is my 2nd anniversary with boyf. Time really flies.

Unfortunately, boyf is actually at KL at the moment. He's going through some exams that his job requires him to. And I'm not complaining. :)

I know work is important. And apparently, he is working so hard so he can earn more.
And marry me.

Honestly, I'm very touched every time we discuss about our future. :)
I can really see that I do have a future with him. He is not all talk and no do.

But well, who can tell me what will happen in the future? He might just have a sugary mouth and I happen to have a 16 year old mind to believe him that he's going to marry me.

No, I'm not being negative here. I'm being fair to myself.

I do seriously believe that he loves me and genuinely wants to marry me. I do too, love him and cherish this boyf a lot and too, genuinely wants to marry him and be his wife. I swear to God that this boyf of mine is going to be the best husband ever. I won't doubt.

But what I trust in and the reality are different. Future can NOT be planned. Honestly speaking, it will not go your way no matter how careful your plan is. :)

So, I am not being negative but I'm just being fair to myself. I love boyf but I shall reserve half my trust that he is going to marry me until the day we sign the papers.

HAHA! Back to our anniversary..

We went to a trip to Penang last week (you'll know if you're my Facebook friend) but we'll talk about that some time later (I hope?). Today I just want to focus on our relationship.

I'll admit I haven't been the best girlfriend that I thought I would be BUT! That doesn't mean I don't love boyf from deep down under my liver(?) LOL! =.= Okay, I'll stop trying to be funny. It seems lame recently. (Though I have always been lame anyways.)

Boyf in return has been a boyf way over my expectations and I couldn't thank him more than I could. For taking care of my finances, for taking care of my emotions and for taking care of me physically. He is seriously, more than anything that I can ask for. A lover, a sandbag, a clown, a listener, an ATM, a driver..

Boyfriend..

You know I love you right? Despite being angry at every little thing you did, you know deep down that it's because I care for you right? Hugs. These 2 years, thanks for putting up with me. And I hope you will continue to put up with me for years to come. Because I just LOVE scolding you. PUAHAHAHAHA!! ♥

Sincerely loving you,
Girlfriend.

How long, then will a new song turn into an old song?

2011-08-10T00:21:00.004+08:00

I just want to share a blog entry from Mayday Ashin's Sina blog. Such a thought provoking entry.

It makes me wonder how much I've grown. Mentally and physically.
And makes me wonder what have I achieved all these years.

Ashin must be thinking, "Ah.. one day my songs are going to be 'old songs' too."

And I'm thinking when I'm at Ashin's age, will someone remembers the younger me. Like how they remember Ashin's once 'new songs'?

But the question is, "why would someone wants to remember the younger me?"

I am sitting here, not WAITING to be hired. I am doing something I want to do all these years.
Though I know it is quite impossible for me to make a mark with what I'm doing now, but if I don't try, I wouldn't know.

The article below is taken from Ashin's Sina blog :

How long, then will a new song turn into an old song?
(2011-01-21)

Photo by Naka Chou. (2010) Taipei, Rock Records 30th Anniversary Concert.

Last time, I would say the kind of song that my parents like, are called 'old songs'. Relatively, the songs I like to listen to, are called 'new songs'. At that time, the songs I love are titled「讓我歡喜讓我憂」,「鍾愛一生」,「大雨」,「擁擠的樂園」. At Rock Records 30th Anniversary Concert, everyone was happy, surprised and touched. The audience inside the hall regardless of age and gender, some were bobbing their head, some where reminiscing about their past. We too, hidden in the darkness of the audience seats, reminiscing about the songs that grow together with us. Then, someone beside me said: "Those old songs are the best". Some others were saying the same thing. Suddenly, I realised, after all these years, finally those 'new songs', too became 'old songs'.

Etude House Minisize U Pore Smoother Serum

2011-08-05T19:13:00.003+08:00

I went to Etude House today and bought THIS!

I've been watching a lot of oiseau88's video and recently, this video of hers caught my attention. She was talking about Geo circle lenses (which I have no interest at all) and her favourite skin care in July and made me wanted to buy the product above.

Skip to 9:40 if you want to watch the part about Etude House's Minisize U Pore line and check out her blogpost [HERE].

I seriously have HUGE pores and I've been trying everything to save them but honestly, nothing works. I thought they were short of moisture so I bought Hada Labo's Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion. It still wouldn't work so I though, "What the heck! Pores are pores! I'll just live with it." It's not like people are going to come close to you to check out your pores right?

BUT THEN! I found something that ACTUALLY works on my pores! I've always thought that expensive stuff are overrated. I can live well without a LV bag or MAC make-up. My Sungei Wang bag and RM5 eye shadow works just as fine.

But then, SK-ll turned me into a believer.

My aunt had a small travel sized bottle of SK-ll and she didn't want it any more so she gave me and after using for a week, I think my pores are much less visible. No doubt that SK-ll is miracle water but then, from what I heard from the others, once you stopped using it your skin will go back to what it used to be.

And I'm not the kind of person that will (or more like have the money to) splurge on this kind of skincare for the rest of my life. So, no point right?

But, SK-ll really opened up my mind and makes me believe that my pores can actually be saved!

So I bought the Etude House's Minisize U Pore Smoother Serum to try on. It comes with two travel sizes of the Power Toner and the Pore Control Emulsion with a discount of 10% so it was really a bargain.

RM40.40 for the whole set after the 10% discount. I'd say, not bad!

Minisize U Pore Smoother Serum, 50g.

Minisize U Pore Power Toner, 25ml.

Minisize U Pore Control Emulsion, 25ml.

Honestly, I haven't start using them (I BOUGHT THEM JUST TODAY!!) so I have nothing good or bad to say, YET! But I'll try to post another updated post if this works for me. :D

Or you can follow me on Twitter @Isabellmiao as I update there more often (then I should LOL) and I might scream my lungs out over there if this ever breaks me out.

And I know I didn't blog as much as I wanted to but I'll try my best since I'm F R E E now and I have totally nothing to do at home. ^^

Things I want AFTER I get a job :-

2011-07-20T22:23:00.003+08:00

1. Laptop / desktop
- No particular reason. My BenQ has been with me for 3 years+, doesn't play HD videos and is lagging a lot on me. A good reason for a new one, don't you think?

2. Invisalign / braces
- For obvious reasons. I might be a little old for braces but fts, I want to look good for my wedding pictures. :D

3. Change of wardrobe
- My jeans is 6 years old. My fave babydoll top is 7 years old. My sneakers is 3 years old. I have totally no idea why they can tahan so long. =.=

4. Trip to Korea
- Again for obvious reasons. And no, not because of BIGBANG.

5. Home studio
- A very personal reason not wanting to share.

6. Hair extension / wig
- For 23 years of my life, I never had loooooooong hair.

7. Study Korean
- I actually wanted to live in Korea (for a period of time) but I wouldn't be able to survive without a job. Hence the need to learn Korean. Even if I can't find any design job in Korea, I can still teach English. ^^

By the way, I OFFICIALLY graduated. And it's not fun sitting at home doing nothing.

My mother, my father, my boyfriend, my brother, my driver and my photographer for the day, Karen Love.

This girl coming to my graduation means a lot to me. I know how boring it is and how annoying it is to be a driver and photographer. More so at an event where you knew no one at all. But she stayed. UNTIL THE END OF THE CEREMONY. Nah.. give you hearts ♥♥♥♥♥.

And I also know I said it didn't matter if no one came at all. I really did think so.

Until the day before the event, my mom called and asked if I wanted her to be there. I said it was up to her and she keep pushing the question to me. If I want her to come.

So I said, NO, DON'T COME!

If you want to come you should've just come right? Why the million questions? Just stay at home!

AND I HATE GRADUATIONS!

WTF IS SO GRAND ABOUT IT?! I HATE THE ROBE! I HATE THE CEREMONY! I HATE THE SPEECH! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!

If not for the fact that this is going to be the last time I'm going to see my college mates, I'd gladly skip this shit.

The start of my new chapter with Optimus Prime.

2011-06-30T17:32:00.001+08:00

I (kind of) graduated from PJCAD! YAY!!

But honestly, I didn't do so good in my final year project. :( I was only aiming to graduate, not to get get good grades. Sigh, I do feel kind of guilty when I saw my lecturer's face during my assessment. :(
But then, I did this myself. I am the one to blame. I should've worked harder. But I didn't. :(

Well, that's the sad note. But I am happy that I finally shook off this 2 whole months of stress. I want to enjoy my life without guilt! Go out whole day and break my leg! ^^
But then again, the tiredness of last minute work got the better part of me and now I feel like fainting again even though I just had a 10 hour sleep.

BUT, I did watch Transformers : Dark of the Moon ALREADY thanks to SmashPop and Lenovo! ^^

It was good. Not WOW but just okay. Some parts of the movie were totally "WTF?!", some were "Awww..", some were "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGFUCKOMGOMGFUCKOMG!" and some were "Okay, can I fast forward already?" but it was still worth the watch if you're a fan of the Transformers series.

Honestly, only the last hour of the movie was good. First half of the movie, I was like "Okay, I've had enough of the romancing part and I get what you're trying to say already. I came to watch TRANSFORMERS! Can I watch my Transformers TRANSFORM now?"

And even though the last hour of the movie was good, but it was STILL a little disappointing. Maybe I was expecting too much again. Transformers still didn't TRANSFORM much. It's like *zipp* it's a car then the next scene, it's a robot. =.=

AND the most WTF scene of it all, Optimus Prime got caught in a web of strings. WTFF?!?!?!?!? Y U MAKE OPTIMUS PRIME SO PATHETIC?! Got caught in a web? Okay larr, I know you don't want to let him loose and make him kill every Decepticons in 2 seconds but caught in a web?

Really?

And for the whole movie, I was ogling on the cars. Especially the shiny shiny scratchless red Ferrari and also my cutie BumbleBee. You know how I'm not a car person but it's really hard not to notice all those SHINY and SCRATCHLESS cars lorr!
BUT!! That's the glitch. Try to notice when they transforms into robots. They're old, they're dirty, their paint drops and they're everything BUT a shiny scratchless car.

The magic part? The moment they transform back into a car, they're AGAIN new shiny scratchless cars. Awesome isn't it? :)

*Lame note: When I was typing 'shiny', I kept wanting to type 'shinee'. =.= I should Kpop less.

And I have nothing against the new Witwicky girlfriend. I just like Megan Fox more. Who's with me?
I know you're his girlfriend but do you have to follow him EVERYWHERE throughout the war? Just go hide your ass in somewhere safe already!

Not appreciating the fact that she persuaded Megatron to turn against Sentinel because that's just an excuse for her to appear throughout the movie following Witwicky. JUST cause so she can say something nasty to Megatron and end the whole ordeal? Another WTF moment.

Even though ONLY the last hour of Transformers : Dark of the Moon 'awesome-s' me, this still beats crappy storyline Thor and awesome Fast & Furious 5.

Why? Simple.
Because I enjoy watching robots dismantling other robots and robot blood spurting all around. ^^

I know it's SUPER hard to get tickets this week so watch the trailer first. ^^

Will you see me as a weirdo if I say I want to marry a robot? Optimus Prime IS a robot right?
And I know you miss me blogging. ^^

I should've expected this..

2011-05-17T23:18:00.000+08:00

Being at home too much is not good..

Movie weekend!!

2011-05-16T00:30:00.000+08:00

Watched Thor, Priest and Fast & Furious 5 over the weekend.

Honestly, Thor was ok. The effects and the whole scene was great, well done. But the storyline.... uhm.
Priest was also ok. Storyline was good, effects were good but that was it. It was just good.

But if I were to compare, I would choose Thor over Priest any given time. Why? Cause the whole Asgard scene was so beautiful!! The CGs were O.M.G!!

Then again, no matter how good the CG is, both of these movies can't be compared to Fast & Furious 5.

Seriously, I'm not that kind of lady that's into muscles or nice cars. If given a choice, I won't even watch this kind of movie. Asking me to watch cars is like asking me to watch football. *ekkk*

But with a good storyline, it makes everything so much more interesting. :)

The only down part of the movie, too much fighting and chasing scene. Not interested.
And The Rock's acting is a bit... uhm.

I'm not doubting his acting skills but giving him a role like this doesn't really suit his image. Watching him in this makes ME feel really.. awkward. I loved all his other movies.. but just not this.

Anyways, I still love this and am looking forward to Fast & Furious 6!! This is gonna be GOOD!!
And Transformers 3 is coming out so damn soon!!! YAYNESS!!

And that concludes my update. Does this even count as a post? =.=

There's a hole in your kettle.. :)

2011-05-11T00:25:00.000+08:00

There's only one person that I can think of that uses [this website] to visit my blog.
Yes, that person is a regular and he's no other but you.. :)

You know, I might seem stupid but I'm really much more clever than that.

I think I PMS

2011-04-27T23:57:00.001+08:00

I don't know what's wrong with me. Mayb I'm the Queen of Crying afterall. Ugh.

I cry when I watch sappy dramas
.. when I read sappy romance comic
.. when I see other people cry
.. when I'm scared
.. when I'm sad
.. when I'm mad
.. when I'm touched
.. when I'm alone
.. when I'm having PMS

I can cry and I don't even know why or what I'm crying at FML.

I know what's my problem but the real problem is, I don't know how to stop it.
I really don't want to cry so much.
I know it's annoying, crying over nothing but how do you cure someone that doesn't even know what she's crying about?

Am I missing boyf too much? I do miss him but not until THAT extent.
Am I too stressed out with my finals? I might be but I'm not feeling it, yet.
Am I frustrated with people around me? I am but then again, not until THAT extent.

So what's the trigger? T_____T
Mayb it's PMS. Can I blame it all on PMS? :(

Sometimes I think I'm the Gemini and boyf is the Aquarius.
I am totally 2 faced to my boyf and boyf is totally understanding and calm about it wtf.

I hate this. It makes me look really bad. Like I'm some spoilt brat; when I'm not.
I REALLY AM NOT!! T_____T

What do I do with myself? Ugh..

I keep crying every time I talk to boyf over the phone. I'm mad at him but I don't know what I'm mad about. =.= And after I hang up, I'll end up feeling guilty for treating boyf like that. I tell you if I were to be treated like that, I will blast off like crazy.

I really /bai him for being so patient with me FHL.

I'M JUST CRAP fullstop

Fuck you, pamphlet boy

2011-04-26T18:47:00.002+08:00

*** WARNING : ARTICLE FILLED WITH FOUL LANGUAGE UP AHEAD. DON'T READ IF YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE READING THE WORD FUCK ***

WAHHH!!! I damn pissed today!

You know those people that hands out the brochures but cheats you with some lucky draw thingy inside?
I met a WHOLE bunch of them and by a whole bunch, I meant the whole street and yes, I'm not kidding you.

I was walking from KL Sental to the monorail and you know the lane you have to go through before you cross the street to the monorail, there's one whole bunch of them.

I know how hard it is to earn money. I've did this before. Standing under the hot sun, no one gives a fuck about you but HO! You're not doing your job there. You're just forcing yourself on me WTF!

Hello! You think it's easy to cheat people meh?

I've been through this once and I'm not going to do it again for you just for the sake you doing your so-called work.

I was walking down that lane for 5 minutes and for the whole 5 minutes, I have no idea how many people approached me and give me some victim talk saying if I take one, I'll be able to help them earn some money. WTF LIKE I CARE! If you need money so badly, go find a decent job. Not a job that cheats the client!

I especially hate this guy trailing behind me when he couldn't force me to take the brochure, he asked his partner-in-crime to attack me from the front so I'm sandwiched between them.

FUCK YOU!!!! I'm so gonna sue them for harassment!! FUCK I CARE!!

And like I'm that easy to bully ok? FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOU! I am female and hobbit-sized but that doesn't mean I will let you harass me like that! FUCK YOU!

WAH!! Just thinking about it again made me so pissed off!
That is why I will only marry someone who is willing to hire me a driver. FTS! If I ever go through this again, I might just fuck all of them right there and then and cause a ruckus out of it.

I was so pissed when I reached my destination I kept thinking what should I do when I take the same route to go back. I thought of scolding them in Korean.. then they'll back off right? HAHA!!

"Aish, jinjjia! SHIRO!! SHIRO SHIRO!! JJAJEUNGNIA!!"

They'll be shocked right? MUAHAHHA!!

But then, I took another route home so it was all good! Should I encounter them ever again, they'll fall into this deep shit hole I prepared for them FYA!!

Don't cheat the shit out of me and waste our time please. GO FIND ANOTHER JOB ALREADY! FYL!

Happy, Frustrated and Emo.

2011-04-11T21:24:00.002+08:00

YAY! Apparently, I just finished my 2nd final presentation today!!

THAT MEANS THE NEXT PRESENTATION IS GONNA BE MY FINAL ONE! OMG!
AND I'M GRADUATING IN 3 MONTHS TIME!!

And that means I'm gonna be another jobless graduate after that!! T____T

I'm still thinking if I want to stay at KL or move back to Ipoh or go straight on to Singapore. Sigh.
I really really want to go Singapore as my salary there should be higher and I don't have to worry about accommodation at all.

But what's troubling me is that Boyf wants to stay in Malaysia.
Ipoh, precisely. I understand his intention but I don't want to part with him at this time when we're both starting out on our career. T___T

There's also another thing I'm worried about.
My grandfather.

For those who didn't know, my grandfather has colon cancer and his condition is worsening. He kind of like gave up on himself and refused to live healthy. T_____T

I'm worried.. that if I went to Singapore, he will pass away just like that. :'(

I lost 3 of my family members already and regretted each and every single time on why I didn't spend more time with them.

But I don't want him to think that I'm only getting close to him because he's going away soon. T_____T
He's been pretty bad tempered because of that.

Well, he should be. If I were him, I would be too. :(

And I'm also worried if I get too close to him now, I'll be even more sad than now when he's really going away. #dilemma

Why is life so difficult?
Family, friends, love, wealth, studies, career, health, blah blah blah..

Can't I just live my life alone? The way I want it?
Why do I have to care about the others? T_____T

Ugh, this was not supposed to end like this fml!
I started this happily knowing I can sleep early today and watch all the Korean shows I wanna watch but I end up crying and thinking about grandpa and grandma. T_____T

Please live well, all of you.

Port Dickson trip with ALL my loved ones

2011-04-08T15:19:00.001+08:00

I was invited to Michelle classmate's 21st birthday party at Port Dickson.

Honestly, I don't really want to go because boyf was moving back to Ipoh on that week too and I wanted to stay longer with him. Going on a trip also means "I'm gonna be broke the following month". PLUS, I wasn't close with him.

But dilly dally dilly dally, I finally put the decision on my boyf's hand.

He went with me. :)

But then, another problem arises! The trip was soon after the Japan tsunami and Port Dickson is a BEACH! I know most probably it's not going to hit Malaysia plus, we're at the west coast but what if there's an earthquake at Indonesia?

Seriously speaking, I was really REALLY paranoid. I told boyf and I thought he'd say something like, "Like this ah.. Then don't go lo. So dangerous." But instead, he said "Haiya, where got so lucky la! If die mai die together lor!!"

I super sweat!

And so, I went to Port Dickson.

Leg shot. Or should it be window shot? LOL
[Left to right : Me, Kaixin, Iris & Michelle]

Look at my Jolin Tsai pose LOL! I think I am born hiao.

Photos above were taken before we took off. We were having lunch at the cafe opposite our condo and since the driver hasn't arrive, we took like hundreds of photos already before the trip. HAHA!

We stayed at an apartment rented by the bday boy and all 7 of us stayed in one room.

Upon reaching, all of us either laze around on the bed or started playing card games in the room which doesn't make sense at all because we're all at the beach! So everyone were kicked out and....

TO THE BEACH!!

Poor boyf, had to take care of my bag. ^^

We purposely made them colourful to suit the beach. And I just realised I can has super white feet! *loves*

[From the top clockwise : Michelle, Iris, me & Kaixin]

Soo Choding playing with sand.. ^^
Choding = elementary school kid

Happy group of people. Everyone had a peace. ^^V

Boyf took this photo of me. SOOOOOO CUTE!! And sooooo fat!

An obligation shot of the feet at the beach. I was shooting only myself when boyf knowingly came and join in.

My signature leg pose. HAHA!

And Kaixin wanted to copy.

This is more like my honeymoon trip. HAHA!

Tall boyf and short girlf makes the whole combi so cute!

And all those photos were taken BEFORE the BBQ. Photos taken at the beach are so lively and pretty!! I've decided that it's a must for my wedding photoshooting! MUAHAHAHA!

We were soooooo hungry after that we ordered KFC just before the BBQ! OMG!
But I'm sure everyone was glad to have that bucket of chicken as the BBQ started quite late.

By all means, I had to take a pic of the sky's colour!

Boyf look so emo under the lamp.

Photos above were taken just before the BBQ. Since the sky was already dark, I had to place my DSLR on the ground and set it to long exposure to catch that colour of the sky.

I'm quite glad it turned out pretty nice. :)

Soon, the morning came and a beautiful day just went away like that. I'm glad I went. :)

Beautiful like paradise.

I don't hate you, I just want you dead..

2011-04-08T07:55:00.000+08:00

stupid bitch trying to get her passport back from us!! stupid liar!
if i have it, i would definitely sell it! go put yourself in deep shit!

NOW DIE!!

Knowing how to use Photoshop is not an advantage afterall..

2011-04-07T19:16:00.013+08:00

I've been bothered by this problem recently and it's getting worse.

I admit, I'm not the good girl kind that dresses in T-shirt jeans.
I'm in for low-cuts, sleeveless, shorts, mini skirts bla bla bla..

BUT, does that give you the permission to comment lewdly on my photos?
OR directly on me?

In the olden times, I wouldn't mind comments like these. I'd gladly accept it because it's compliment to me.
Because I purposely take lewd photos like this : -

** WARNING : SOME PHOTOS ARE REALLY UGLY BECAUSE

THEY WERE TAKEN BEFORE THE SUN EXISTS **

But NOW, I don't.
I find it offensive. VERY.

Especially when I didn't take photos that are SUPPOSEDLY lewd or exposing.
Especially when you're commenting on a photo I took with my boyf like these : -

HELLO! I'm taking a photo with my BOYFRIEND and you're commenting on how big my BOOBS are? You no brain ah? Or no shame?

Or when I'm uploading a photo with the focus on my new hair, new make-up, new *insert whatever here* like this : -

Really, with my lips soooo orange and my BLURRED boobs, you still wanna comment on them instead of my beautifully focused NEON orange lips? I don't understand, really.

I've gained weight recently.
And along with that, my breasts have gotten obviously bigger.

I know I have GOOD photoshop skills but truth be told, I DON'T liquify my photos anymore since the pyramids were built. All I did was some cropping, contrasting, colour retouching and colour effects.

MY "BIG" BREASTS ARE REAL.

I'm happy that people noticed but I'm not happy about the comments I'm getting.
I know I was FLAT but comments like "Photoshop" makes me embarrassed to be able to use Photoshop as a designer.

It feels like you're insulting my profession.

It makes me look like some cheap teenage girl trying to gain attention by using my profession skill.
It's like you're a banker and you're rich. Then people started to say you steal money from the bank, that's why you're rich. You happy or not?

I appreciate comments like "You've gotten prettier!", "Great figure!" or stuffs like that but unless it's really positive or you're my boyf or you're a VERY good GIRL friend of mine, please don't comment on my boobs anymore.
Even so, please refrain on commenting on my boobs. (Of course, unless I started on the boob topic first)
It makes me wanna throw out ALL my clothes and wear my sweater + jeans everywhere I go.

For those who say "If you want us to stop commenting, stop uploading onto Facebook!" or "Stop wearing low-cut clothings" or "Stop taking photos of your boobs", fuck the hell off because it's MY Facebook, MY style of clothing and I didn't take photos of my boobs.

It's YOU people who keep looking at MY boobs!

It's not like I suddenly like to wear revealing clothings because my boobs have gotten bigger to show-off. I've been wearing like that since the Earth formed.
And it's not like I purposely took photos of my boobs. THEY ARE THERE SINCE GOD KNOWS WHEN! AND I CANNOT REMOVE THEM BEFORE TAKING PHOTOS!!
Unless you want me to continue looking like a post-Form5 student (which I don't want to), I cannot ALWAYS take 'big headed' photos (photos with only your head).

So, thank you very much. I know you like my bigger boobs but I've had enough comments about them. If I'm getting embarrassed by them more often than I can take it, I shall get a breast reduction surgery. Or start dieting. Or go cut myself. Or mayb suicide.

End of rant.

For those who thinks that you've crossed my line, don't worry I'm not holding a grudge and don't say sorry. You don't know what I'm thinking so you're not at fault. Just don't do it anymore.
And sorry for making you feel sorry but I have to do this so you people understand what I'm trying to say.

P/s : Comment if you cannot see the photos. My photos are linked from Facebook and it's set to private so I'm not sure if you can see it or not. TYVM.

iPad from below..

2011-03-24T23:53:00.003+08:00

Today I heard a very heart breaking statement.

That daddy died because of Methamphetamine.
If you don't know what is Methamphetamine, that's "Ice" for you.

I admit, daddy was involved in drugs sometime earlier in his life. Mayb before his death, too.
But to hell no, he didn't die because of OD.

I saw it with my OWN eyes! He hanged himself.
The police didn't even mention anything about him taking drugs. Or even in possession of drugs.
Plus, I'm pretty sure he stopped the habit.

EXCUSE ME! HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS BITCHY "WIFE"!
He committed suicide because of her! Don't blame it on himself!!

UGH! Spreading rumors about daddy's death! Nomu nomu shiro!

****************************************

I went to buy stuffs to burn for him tomorrow. And of all things, I bought him an iPad! ^^

Looks good right? ^^

Damn 7 expensive lorr!! RM8!!
The other stuffs cost like RM2 only lorr!!

Anyways, picking out things for him.. I'm kind of happy. Am I weird?
It's like buying presents. T____T Oh no I'm so weird!

**************************************

On ANOTHER related note, I dream about daddy when I was having a trip at Genting. FOR THE FIRST TIME!
It was a good one.

He looked handsome as always, dressed in white polo tee with his usual jeans and looked a little fatter than I remembered.

The dream was SOOOOOOO damn freaking real I was damn shocked at the sight of him.
Straight away I knew I was dreaming!

He was walking out of my grandmother's house when he noticed me and asked, "Eh! When's your holiday?" I totally freaked out and glanced at my mother in the dream. She asked me if I wanted to talk to him.

I TOTALLY FREAKED OUT!

I was sooooo freaked out I ran away without answering him the question. T____T
I hope he didn't feel rejected. I was really shocked.

And DAMN! I regretted my decision at that time!
I should've talked to him! When will I ever get the chance to talk to him again? WHEN?!

I told my mom and she said he knew I was going to give offerings to him soon so he came to me ask me when. LOL! Mayb true. :)

I hope he knows that I miss him.
RIP, daddy.

I'm happy because I choose to be, not because I'm happy.
I don't care because I choose to be, not because I don't care.

I'm angry because you made me so, not because I wanted to.

P/s: Please, like usual.. comforting words are NOT allowed!

Manners.

2011-03-21T00:27:00.001+08:00

Suddenly I just wanted to blog about this kid I met in the lift.

I just came back form boyf's house this evening with a whole load of stuffs. Groceries + laptop + handbag + Miao Miao. Then I pressed the lift button & waited.

Came this fat kid and a guy which I supposed was his brother. The lift opened and the fat kid rushed in to the lift.

First thought: "How rude! I was..."

Before I can even finish my thought, he rushed in to held the door open for me. Suddenly the fat kid is no longer a "fat kid". Such a cute dongseng..

When I reached my floor, he again, held the door open for me.

His actions, are soooooo minor.

All he did was hold the lift door for me.

But he made me realise how kids nowadays have no manners at all. No, make that everyone.

To have met a kid with manners like that, it was heartwarming.

When I was Twenty-Two..

2011-03-19T00:15:00.006+08:00

David Tao - Twenty-Two

Spring is the season she loved most
When the breeze randomly messes up her hair
She doesn't care about the noisy world around her
Only thinking about the changes in life she's going through

15 minutes more to go before afternoon break
From morning to night, it's not that really enjoyable
Peaceful life doesn't mean it must be "Happiness"
Can't forget about the dream she had in her heart

She's turning twenty-two on this year's May 6th
Time to abandon her text books and leave home to experience the world
But only realised there's so many problems to overcome, oh yeah

She always wanted to go back to the time when she was twelve
All she had to do was study, innocent and burdenless
Just like a bud full of hopes

Autumn suddenly arrived
Although youth has the means to be free and easy
But with a relationship, twenty two months will be gone
Only you'll realise some feelings doesn't worth being gambled

September's weather is still cold
She thought if the bus still doesn't arrive, she'll walk
She started to understand that waiting doesn't bear fruit
Alone, she can also walk the road of her dreams

She's turning twenty-two on this year's May 6th
Time to abandon her text books and leave home to experience the world
But only realised there's so many problems to overcome, oh yeah

She always wanted to go back to the time when she was twelve
All she had to do was study, innocent and burdenless
She's always full of hopes

Once a while you will come to an unfamiliar road
Like a map without the indicators
Don't let them tell you to be content with what you have
Because only you know what is your "Happiness"

She always wanted to go back to the time when she was twelve
All she had to do was study, innocent and burdenless
She smiled and think about the future
Oh, she should be achieving "Happiness"
A dream so simple
Did it come true

I felt like he was singing about me.
His lyrics basically talked about my life.

Well, it's a little too impractical to say that since the lyrics are really general but I can practically see each scene of my life flying through my mind when translating this song.

When I was in primary school filling in a form and writing "Singer" as my ideal occupation. (LOL!)
When I was at my grandmother's place just enjoying the garden and the wind.
When I sat at the river bank thinking about my life and what I should do about it in my grandfather's factory.
When my youth was wasted on a human being that doesn't even worth a second glance.
When I was in Singapore, waiting for the bus early in the morning and it never arrives.
When I insisted on doing the things I really want to do.

When I wondered if my dreams will come true.

Ignorance is bliss

2011-03-16T22:19:00.002+08:00

I've been ignoring a lot of things.
I've been ignored a lot of times.

I've spoke a lot of hurtful words.
I've listened to a lot of hurtful words.

I've ignored my conscious and live a lie.
I've stood my ground and spoke the truth.

But I've learnt nothing in the process.

I remember learning a lot from life when I was younger. I did a lot of thinking on why I should or shouldn't do. On why these things happened to me and how I should have reacted.

While I was writing down all these, I thought about what should I do about all the "problems" I have now..

And all I can do is continue to be ignorant.
Ignorance is bliss.

P/s: While this post was written yesterday and scheduled to be posted today, a lot of things happened this morning which made me think about this post. And again, ignorance is bliss.

Boyf ♥

2011-03-16T00:46:00.000+08:00

I don't know how many times I want or need to say this but apparently, I really do have the best boyf in the world. I'm gonna die a horrible death if I ever leave him for another guy, seriously.

I really have no idea how he can tolerate me like that.

I'm really not usually the princess type but with him, my Princess Disease totally came out. =.=

My words are ALWAYS right.
I MUST have what I asked for.
Do or DIE!
Me, me and ONLY ME!

You know... those type of totally annoying bitches?
I'm like one of them. =.=

I really have no idea why he loves me sooooo much. (I don't know how much of it is true la, but he said so laa..)

But of course, I totally love him!

Because he can put up with me.
Because my words are always right to him.
Because I always get what I want from him.
Because there's only me, me and ME in him.

That's why I can love him like this.

Cute brother, Cute mother & Cute dog..

2011-03-04T17:47:00.000+08:00

If you're tired of how much I talk about my CUTE brother, let me prove to you how cute is he!

NOT CUTE MEH?!

And if you wonder where my act-cuteness came from, wonder no more...

WTF my mom looks (acts) like she's in her late 20s!

No make-up at home.. It's been SOOOOO damn long since I last took a pic of mine without make-up.

And this is my house dog. Her name is Lily.

This fella is hella cute! If we left the gate open, she won't even try to take one step out of the house. Even if you ask or lure her to come out, SHE JUST WON'T COME OUT!!

Haha! Such a weird dog!

And this is the first time I see her being chained. She's so scared she sat like this and not moving for quite sometime. HAHHAHA!

Polaroid fun!!!

2011-03-03T22:26:00.000+08:00

Guess what I got for my birthday? Kekeke..

Technically, boyf paid for this. But my mom bought this for me.. (okay la, she wants me to pay her back. hmph!) HAHA! But I used the money my boyf gave me on other stuffs so.... ^^

Anyways, I wanted a WHITE one but it cost RM50 more just for a nicer colour and the payer (boyf) reasons that it's not worth it because the quality of the shots are going to be the same anyway. Well, though I really wanted the white one but what boyf said was true. Not like the end product is going to be any different.

So, I set my eyes on the PINK one! Boyf again reasons that it kinda looks like Hello Kitty and I don't know since when I've started to grow a liking on Hello Kitty (WTF at this age! =.= ) but I did anyway and decided on the pink one; since my boyf likes pink (on me!)

But why is the BLUE one here instead of a pink one? BECAUSE I REDEEMED THIS FROM COSWAY REDEMPTION! MUAHAHAHHA!

My mom bought this for RM168 + 38 coupons (if not mistaken) ONLY! Compared to the market price, it's cheaper by almost RM80!! The down part of it, you have to pre-order at Cosway Redemption Centre and you have to wait for a few weeks before it's arrival. AND YOU CANNOT CHOOSE COLOUR!!

That's..... how I ended up with a BLUE Instax Mini 7. Kkeut!

Coldest day in Genting

2011-02-26T15:58:00.003+08:00

I know where you're looking at..

Such a sunny day on a beautiful morning.

I went up Genting with a few of my friends the other day and O M G it was sooooo effing cold!! I swear it was the coldest out of all times I went there. Mind you and I was wearing jacket with long pants.

Was 'reporting' to my boyf on the way up. I love having "Sun-lit Hair". ^^

Nothing too interesting up there. Since Michelle had Genting World Card, we thought we could redeem a free room but no such luck.. :(

Wan Ting looks like she's getting ready to kill someone. LOL!

This looks more like it. ^^ I like the red gloves..

My cuppa drink: Low-Fat Caramel Macchiato.

No, I am not dieting. I know I've been growing sideways recently but that's not the reason for the low fat drink. My health was not very good so I've been banned from sugar by my doctor.

No worries though, I'm doing just fine. ^^ Just that, I've been increasing my sugar intake unintentionally recently and I need to fix that sweet tooth of mine.

This pic of them are soooooo cute! ^^

Michelle was supposed to be in this also but the pic taken was not so nice and I'm not keen on uploading unflattering pics of others so... ^^

Oh, and for the 100th time, I'VE GOT MY BIGBANG x UNIQLO HOODIE!!

I bought GD's hoodie for myself and TOP's hoodie for boyf. ^^

T.O.P & GD

Isabellmiao now comes in fun sizes! ^^ And my hoodie is S sized.

I was like this the whole day I was in Genting. Can you imagine how cold it was? I was freezing!

Working woman, HAHA!

2011-02-22T10:20:00.000+08:00

Little did I know, I'm in my LAST semester.

I'm graduating this year. I'm gonna be a working woman [LOL!] by the end of this year.
I'm 23 and yes, I think it's about time I start making my own money and start contributing to my family's income.

Regarding the magazine company I was planning to start, I really want to give thanks to all those who supported me and wished for my dreams to come true on my birthday.

Most probably I won't be able to achieve it in 1 or 2 years but WTH who knows about the future? ^^
I might just get married next month and sit at home goyang kaki LOL!

Of course, that's not really true. Though I really wanna get married.. *ahem*

Park Bom makeup is too much ♥

2011-02-12T21:51:00.000+08:00

Park Bom from 2NE1

Is it similar enough?This is not the look I'm trying to do thou. I'm trying to do another look of hers but this came out instead LOL!

Should I make up tutorial? Kekeke..

FUCK THIS SHITTTT!!!!!

2011-01-02T17:59:00.001+08:00

FUCK THIS SHIT I AM NO CHEAP LABOR!

I WORK FOR 21 HOURS STRAIGHT AND YOU STILL WANT ME TO WORK THROUGH MY HOLIDAY?

YOU THINK I 24 HOUR ON STANDBY?

NO NEED SLEEP? NO NEED REST?

YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I'M WILLING TO RUSH THROUGH THE MAGAZINE FOR YOU TILL 6 IN THE MORNING AND YOU CAN'T EVEN HAVE YOUR HIGHLY PAID WORKERS TO LOOK FOR 80 PICTURES?

WTF?

IT'S NOT THAT I'M NOT WILLING TO DO THIS BUT HELLO!

THE MONEY YOU PAY DOES NOT EQUAL TO THE EFFORT THAT I PUT IN.

FULLSTOP!

Day 02 - Where you'd like to be in 10 years.

2011-01-02T11:27:00.000+08:00

Of course 10 years is not a short period of time. Depending on the situation, I might end up doing something entirely different.

In 10 years time, I would be, say... 33? LOL! That's old! The first thing I'd like to do is to be a wife and a mother. As much as I love to do other things, I'd love to have a family more. Specifically, I want to get married at about 25-28 and have kids at 27-29. Erm.. it means the plan starts in 2 years time.. and thinking about it is kind of scary. T___T

In 10 years time, I would love to be a freelancer? Or be a boss of my own. I've been thinking a little recently since I've started my internship at MYC. I might want to start a magazine company of my own.
Yes, I shall start planning about that.

And in 10 years time, I hope I have traveled to places I wanted to go all these while. Korea, Japan, Paris, Italy. And also pick up a foreign language.

Wow.. blogging about this kind of overwhelms me a little.
It's short, but it reminds me of how many more things I want to do before I turn 30 in 7 years time.

And unfortunately, I don't think 7 years is enough for me. T______T

Day 01 - Your current relationship; if single discuss how single life is.

2011-01-02T02:58:00.001+08:00

Stella said she wanted to do the 30 Days Blogging Challenge and I thought, "Why not?" since I've not been blogging too. Haha! Can't promise that I can finish the challenge but I'll try. Plus, it's more fun if someone is doing it together. ^^

About my relationship status, it's no secret that I have a boyf nicked Sir Andrew.

First time going out with him after we finished our Form 6.

With him, I can say that I had a good life. He didn't have much money to bring me for a luxurious date or buy me materialistic things like how my ex did but I enjoyed the time I spent with him. Mayb it's just sitting around in his house or mingling around on his bed but I always felt like I'm his princess.

Let's say I'm really hot and crave for iced tea or whatever shit, he'll go out and buy for me at that very moment.

Let's say I'm bored and wailing on his bed, he'll come over and accompany me for a little while before continuing to do his work.

First time taking picture together.

Let's say I'm hungry and it's 1 in the morning, he'll be willingly to go down to the kitchen and cook maggi mee for me.

He lives in Kajang and I live in PJ. He always come and find me instead of me going to find him. Never once did he complain.. (okay, mayb once.. or twice.. HAHA!)

Sometimes, he would purposely come over in the afternoon to go out with me and fetch me back to Kajang late at night. I would faint in the car but he never once complained about tiredness.

Being together with him is like having a windy day that I like a lot.

Sometimes I wonder if I deserve such a good guy. But sometimes, I think the other way round.

Well, humans are not perfect. :D

He can be sooooo dumb at times!

Once, my phone was out of credit so I couldn't contact him. In the morning, he sms-ed me: "Are you awake? What are you doing? Eat?" Of course, I couldn't reply him.

He knew I was going to go out in the evening so at 3PM, he sms-ed me again: "Doing what? Out already?" And again, I didn't reply him. He didn't even bother to call to check where am I.

After my friend arrived, I sms-ed my dear Sir Andrew with my friend's number: "I out already. My phone no credit. You dunno call me wan meh?!"

And he still couldn't get it and reply me instead of calling me: "I scared I disturb you. Where are you going? bla bla bla.."

I felt sooooo dumb. For him!

"CALL ME!" I replied him. And he called my friend's phone instead of my phone. =.=

My first sentence: "Now I don't have phone meh? Why call my friend's phone?!"

He can be so dumb right?! Okay, mayb you don't think so, BUT I DO!!! ARGH!!!

And he can be soooo indecisive at times I felt like pointing a gun on his head and force him to make his own decision.

Another thing that I find it annoying, his sense of style. He always wear clothes that are meant to be locked in the closet; never to see sunlight again. I've got to say that my boyf is not handsome but when he style up a little, he looks really neat. ^^

But this, I've got to admit he did change a little. HAHA! Guys like him are soooo easy to please. Just praise him a little when he dresses up, and he'll continue dressing up because he wants you to tell him that he's good lookingn all the time. PUAHAHHA!

He ends up liking whatever I like. Hehe..

Anyways, I think I'm running off topic a little... okay, A LOT! Lol!

My personal opinion, relationship is about trust and communication. I've got to admit that in my relationship, communication is still a problem but trust is never one.

I have a lot of male friends and some, quite close. But he never doubt my loyalty to him.

And so did I.

No one can be a better boyf than him. ^^

I am a little paranoid when he goes out with his old school mates (and especially paranoid when I see him contacting with his ex) but I do trust him. Let's just hope he won't break my trust like how my ex did.

And another thing I really hate is the word 'forever'.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Unless you're sure that you're going to marry me, not divorce me, and even after divorce, you're still gonna love me until your life ends, then PLEASE, I BEG YOU.. don't ever tell me that you love me FOREVER.

Cause NOTHING LAST FOREVER!

Love you dearest!

Merry merry Christmas ♥

2010-12-27T23:03:00.001+08:00

My blog more important or ♥ Kpop Feverish ♥ more important?
Of course MY blog!

That's why I've decided to update here FIRST although I'm halfway through my draft over at ♥ Kpop Feverish ♥. ^^
Although it's just a short update but I shall update.

Anyways, this year Christmas, I had a good one. Not the best one but a good one.
Although a lot of depressing things happened this year, but I'm glad God gave me a boyfriend that never complains.

Love you dear. ♥

We didn't do much this year. Like last year, we spent our Christmas together with Siewkeong. Just that this year, we have his girlf and her sister joining us. ^^

Went to Pavilion on the eve to watch "snow" (it was just soap bubbles =.=) and got stuck at KLCC because the LRT is closed when our car is parked at my house. LOL!
I was so tired at that time.. but nonetheless, it was funny!

Last Christmas, we partied 2 days in a row.
This year, we slept through Christmas. LOL!

Yeah, we stayed at home during Christmas. I was lazy, he was tired and keep sneezing throughout the day. Sigh. I have a weak immune system boyf.

2010 is coming to an end.
Everything else is coming to an end too.

But there are just some things I wished could last longer.

This Christmas, I hope you had an enjoyable one, a happy one.
Next year onwards, live your life to the fullest and give back the love to those who loved you.

You'll never know when they'll leave you, just like that.

I'll be back..

2010-12-14T17:17:00.000+08:00

Blog is so dead but I'll try to update tonight as something unbelievable happened to me.

PUAHAHHAHAH!

If I don't, pester me until I do. Jebal!!!

All I want for Christmas..

2010-12-07T22:05:00.001+08:00

Things happen one after another.
Does bad luck always come in packages?

I don't wish for just-to-show-off iPhone or super-graphics Macbook.
Nor do I wish to go Korea so I can kneel in front of YG building all day or money falling from the sky.
I don't need a white Christmas.

All I want for Christmas this year is health - for my family.

Life is a bitch. End of story.

2010-10-24T20:37:00.001+08:00

I've changed a lot.

From someone who's willing to sacrifice to someone who's really selfish.
I realised, I love less. I just don't care about anyone anymore... literally.

I don't know if my past relationship has made me into someone like now or the death of my father that made me turn into such an emo.

I laughed less, I find everything annoying, everyone is too talkative, people are hard to talk to, I'm 5 times the lazier, I just wanna stay home and F5 Youtube whole day, I don't wanna meet people up, I lost the mood to everything. EVERYTHING.

I feel so guilty to my boyf. He has been soooooo good to me, treating me like a princess.
But all I do is complain and find everything about him annoying.
Each time I want to do better and treat him better, it just seem impossible.
It's like there's a barrier between us.

I keep thinking like: "I deserved better."

Like fuck this shit! Who am I to demand something like that?
Is he born to serve me? NO!
Why am I being a bitch like this?

AHHHHH!! I don't know.. Something's just bothering me and I don't know what.

I just want to shut myself out of this world.
I wanna go travelling alone.
I wanna do something out of the schedule alone.
I wanna sit in front of my laptop whole day.

I just want to be alone...

Am I going through puberty at 22?

Fix-It Friday #73

2010-10-03T01:29:00.000+08:00

It's been some time but I'm back with Fix-It Friday at iheartfaces again. ^^
I've been bored so I tried to improve my editing skills. What do you think?

Did some burning and dodging, colour correction, brightness and contrast adjustments plus a little of this and that.
I processed it to make it look like it's on a Summer day because usually children love to play in the sun. ^^ And it looks more lively this way.
