Weddings Galore.



November and December watch out.

Lots of weddings to attend!

Most important wedding in November goes to...


KAK CT!


Followed by Kak Hilmah and then Nisa.

December weddings include the wedding of those closest and dearest to me.

=)

Zakiah; my girlfriend from secondary school (oh gawd i feel like crying as i type this)

Suddenly it has hit me...

We're all growing up.

No longer nerdy, bespectacled, feeler-ed, long-stockinged Zak.

You're going to be a married lady!

I dunno whether i'll be able to contain my tears on your wedding day.

And then Kha's solemnization.

Oh gawd.

I PRAY THAT I WON'T CRY SO HARD.

*well promises are meant to be broken right?*

Why are you guys getting married so faaaasssttttttt!!!!!

Stay single longer laaahhhh.

I'm losing my single friends to marriage already!

*gasp gasp*

When did we all grow up?

Current December wedding list:

1) Kha (5/12)

2) Qadr & Juliza (6/12)

3) Zak (12-13/12)

4) Fahrul (13/12)

That's a grand total of EIGHT.

I foresee major wardrobe problems.

I can't possibly recycle them clothes can i?

*cheeky grin*

Beauty Find!



Align CenterAttention LASHES!

Sexify your eyes with this baby from R*immel!

I came across this product while aimlessly walking at B*ugis Junction last Friday.

The mascara wand doesn't even look ordinary.

Its got this weird looking ball shapes.

I love the colour of the mascara tube too! HAHA

The mascara is available in two colours, black and black/brown.


What the website says:



Exclusive brush design curves IN to maximize lash loading, curves OUT to curl and de-clump each lash for a complete curved look...





Volumises and curves your lashes in one deft stroke.
I think this is worth getting.

If i'm not mistaken it retails for less than SGD20 so you really get your money's worth.

It's not available at ALL W*atson's stores though so do a little bit of checking out first.

Perhaps those in town stock R*immel

Maybe i'll get this too when i hunt down my shu u*emura lash curler.

Next beauty find that i'm hankering to try is M*ajolica M*ajorca.
I've heard a lot of good things about its eyeliners.

So those of you who've tried it...LET ME KNOW! I want to know.

Its like a bad craving haha.

If you have any cheap but GOOD make-up brands that you want to share, please let me know!

I think i should post up my wish list so it keeps my make-up expenditure in check.

Hah!

Like that really works.

No makeup update/review YET!



Still haven't gotten around to trying the Liz Arden set that I purchased.

Maybe tomorrow when i go on my last date with Ayie before he flies off to Thailand for his reservist stint for THREE weeks.

Which means i'll be Ayie-less and Samirian-less for the next 3 weeks.

Boo-hoo.

Received some really surprising/shocking news this morning.

Pretty sad but not till it warrants me to get upset.

But still...i want you to be happy.

You know i'll love you still right?


So now, i'm having a big dilemma over what to wear tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn.

p/s: i'm still mad at a certain individual who HAS been (and STILL is!) totally selfish for the past 5 months. Disregarding whatever any authoritative figure has to say.
I'll shut up but it won't be for long.
I've had it with you. The universe DOES NOT revolve around you, you little twit.

You have lost all self-respect from me.
You don't even deserve pity.

Date Night


We had planned to go out on a date but we had NO ideas planned out for the day.

So when we met up outside R*affles Hospital in B*ugis after i'd completed my field observation, we sat down and mulled over a few ideas before coming to a decision.

We both happened to have the same brainwave to head over to marina barrage but before we did that, we would have to make a quick pitstop at 7*-11 in arab st to buy some refreshments.

But even before we could stop by 7*-11, Ayie suggested that we just poke around the shops in front of sultan mosque.

It was then that we stumbled into the C*hildren's Toy Museum.

This place sells a lot of antiques. From refrigerator, helmets, peranakan paraphernelia, old notes, record players and even 70's television set.

We were BOTH mesmerised by one helmet that was on display and it was a mere 60sgd!!!
It was an old pilot's helmet complete with 2 drop down shades which i thought were SOOOOOOO cool!

So he's going to buy that helmet tomorrow.

Now we continued wandering around the shop and i thought, hey since we're going to be at m*arina barrage, why not buy some old school toys so we got the five stones and pick up sticks!

By this time we STILL hadn't gotten around to 7*-11 yet.

We were a little peckish now and headed to House of Briyani along north bridge road and had a late lunch cum early dinner.

By the time we were going to make a move, the skies had turned really dark and threatening.
So we had to ABANDON the m*arina barrage plan.

Rode as fast as we could to Toa Payoh to get my makeup from my cuz and ended up waiting at the void deck for half an hour.

*we were also caught in the rain right after we exited the KPE. dammit!*

So the toys we bought DID come in handy after all!
Especially the pick up sticks.

Once the rain let up, we headed to AMK park McD's and had some supper.

We got the EVM and talked abt the monopoly promotion that they were having.

So he said, "ok if we get the $50,000 we get married"

and at the same time he said that i said:

"you can get your harley"

and we started erupting into a fit of giggles!

Haha.

Sorry lah. marriage just didn't occur to me at that time =P

but i swear the look on his face was priceless.

Thank you for the date =))

I love u!

Sometimes you unearth the best treasures (and cheap too!) there

=D

1 quad eyeshadow and duo blush palatte

2 lipsticks; desert rose and soft rose

1 lipgloss in berrylicious

1 Lash extending treatment mascara

1 eyeliner in soft black

AND

1 lip liner in taupe

the palatte that im in love with.

mainly cos its this bright red colour!

this is what it looks like inside

a purple called jewel, a pink in tulle, a bluish grey a.k.a bubbles and a darker grey in smoke


2 blushes, one in pink mauve and pink sand.
can't wait to try pink sand!


here's a glossy lipstick

called soft rose

a silky finish lipstick, slightly darker and more matte


called desert rose.


Haven't tried the colours yet but once i do, i'll give u a verdict!

This whole haul came in at a grand total of....SGD59!

Its about as expensive as my M*ake Up Forever concealer palatte!!!!

This is definitely worth the money.

If you're looking to expand your makeup collection, HEAD over to the airport and shop at the makeup/perfume stores there.

Not only that, its TAX FREE!

=))

come with me to the airport next time...

Horror Story

Keeping in theme with halloween, i have my own horror story.

More like a heart breaking tragedy.

Last week i went out to town to have dinner with some friends.

Got to F*ar East a little sooner than i expected.

So i walked around, did a little window shopping and also went hunting for that vest i needed to get the S*amirians logo printed on the back.

Soon i had to use the ladies.

So i had to lug my bag and my laptop that i was cradling in my arms like a baby.

My N*EC.

So i placed the laptop on the ledge that they provided in each cubicle while i hung my bag on the back of the door.

I was trying to move around in the cubicle and....


I KNOCKED MY LAPTOP OFF THE LEDGE AND IT FELL WITH A HORRIFYING THUD ON THE TOILET FLOOR!!!!

I almost wanted to pass out.

Crying was also another option.

You see, i had just purchased the adapter and things were working perfectly.

and i JUST had to knock it onto the floor.

*sobs*

But thankfully, its working fine.

But i just found a horrible cosmetic flaw since that incident!

*aaaccckkkk*

The speakers are on either side of the hinges and the one on the right has popped out a little.

Its just horrifying.

I know.

So drama right?
heheh
