What Are You Talking About?

About turning 25...

I know my birthday was 7 months ago,

but i have to tell you some worthy self discovery that i've made some time AFTER i'd turned a quarter of a century old.

Its only when i turned 25 that i'd learn to be at peace with myself.

There was always something i wanted.

Or something i didn't like about myself.

But at the beginning of this year, I told myself:

there is no way you are going to screw this year up.

You are going to suck it up and take it as it comes.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

And somehow this little threat made to myself worked.

I was a new person.

I actually liked looking at that person in the mirror.

I liked what i was doing with my life.

Where my life was going.

Things seemed to be falling into place, amiin.

And this was BEFORE i met DK.

I'm glad he met me AFTER i'd found myself.

I'm happy.

I may have gained a few pounds but i'm happy.

*i may hv put on weight but i KNOW i'm fit. and i CAN still do a sprint!*
-cos occasionally i sprint for the bus =) -

I take my lemons.

Make a little lemonade and smile.

I whine a lot but I DO IT ANYWAY!

and i GET IT DONE!

So thank you Allah for giving me everything.

The good, the bad and the ugly.

I hope that there's more to come.

And i'll take it all in my stride insyaAllah.

Oh and i've stopped worrying about what OTHER people think.

If im happy and i didn't do any major transgressions, that's between me and God.

I don't WANT to worry about other people.

I worry about myself =)

Make-Up All Day With Minimal Touch Ups!

In this entry, i'm going to introduce to you one of the items that will help you keep your makeup on all day!

You need two things:

1) a stippling brush

*this is just a dupe brush, any brand will do!*

and

2) a bottle of e*vian spray

*this retails for $5.90 @ W*atsons*

according to the label on the back of the spray, it says that with frequent use of this product, it increases your skin hydration by 14%.

Ok so normally people spray it directly onto the face, but after watching some videos online,

it seems that its better to spray it directly onto the brush.

So after applying ALL your makeup, take the spray and spray it onto your brush.

flick your wrist to get off the excess moisture,

then just dab it all over your face.

*repeat the steps if you feel like you need to reduce that powdery effect*

it prevents your makeup from having that powdery look after applying the makeup.

your makeup will even out and settle on your face perfectly.

I think this works well especially for those of you who use a powder based foundation.

And i do have to agree that this method really works!

My makeup doesn't slide off my face, and i don't sweat off my makeup.
*which was always the case in the past*

So i hope this helps!

Try it out and let me know how it works out!

Fin.

Makeup Review!

The last time i wrote, I was talking about weddings.

And yes.

I have been very pre-occupied with weddings and assignments

plus handling the 'going-not going' deal with my parents Haj plans.

very exhausting

me & my kak ct
*customary fun shot!*

make up came courtesy of the E*lizabeth A*rden set that I bought.

but its not really that clear right

haha

i love how chiseled my cheeks look! =)

i look like i have ACTUAL high cheekbones

me and seri

u can see the makeup a little better here.

i used tulle (my pinkest shade in the palette) and washed it all over my lids,

placed the purple colour 'jewel' tone at the outer corner of my lids for a smokey look.

then using 'smoke' the shimmery light charcoal gray colour to further smoke it out.

i used a pencil brush to contour the eyes and of course a blending brush to blend everything out.

i used pink mauve for my cheeks to give me that flushed and rosy look.

very happy with the result.

colour pay-off is REALLY good.

for longer lasting eyeshadow use a primer!

i'm swearing by my primer now =)

spend that amt. of money on gd QUALITY makeup.

for tomorrow's wedding (Kak Hilmah's),

i'm gg to attempt a simple M*egan F*ox look to match my baju kurung.

now i just have to look for my songket baju kurung and iron it out.

*grin*

MY BABY'S COMING BACK TONIGGGHHHHTTT!

Weddings Galore.

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.

Beauty Find!

Attention 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...

R*immel

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!

This is my October purchase, gotten from the airport.

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.

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

My Trip to S*ephora @ I*on

Before i start i just want to say how excited i am to have changed my web browser! Hahah.

If u take a look at the picture below, my web browser is gaily decorated with pink flowers! =))
Check it out on the new M*ozilla updates!

Ok so for those who follow me on my t*witter, i did promise you a review on the T*oo Faced S*hadow Insurance. So here it is!

Priced at SGD28 it is a steal! What this product does is that its like a primer for your lids. It keeps the the eyeshadows on ur eyes and helps it to stick to your lids for hours.

I tried it out on Wednesday. Wore a little eyeshadow to sch, a light brown as a base and contoured the sockets with a darker brown colour.

I had a date with my girlfriends which is why i went the extra mile with the makeup heheh.

Anyway, i periodically checked on the eye makeup and this product proved its worth!

All the rave reviews (esp. by M*akeup Geek who i follow religiously on Y*outube) have proven to be true.

This product is especially great for those with oily eyelids and perfect for application using matte eyeshadows.
For more pigmented or shimmery colours, you can still apply the product but use it a little sparingly i guess, making sure that you put it all over the eye area.

I think for SGD28 it gives you bang for your buck!

It comes in a little green tube and you'll have to remember to shake the tube first to get all the contents mixed first.

I didn't do that for mine and when i first pressed the tube, some of the oil seeped out.

So i impress upon you to give it a little shake first!

That wasn't my only purchase at I*on's new S*ephora.

I also purchased....

my second camouflage palatte!

This is M*ake Up For Ever's concealer palatte in No. 3.

They didn't carry No. 1 apparently.

So this was to replace my almost empty palatte that i first purchased in KL back in June.

Its lasted me a gd. 4 months which isn't too bad.

I especially like the creamy consistency that it has. Its not too oily either especially for my skin which gets a little greasy after a while.

The shade to conceal my dark undereye circles are fabulous.

I swear they do wonders for you especially after you've had a really long night mugging through an assignment.

It makes you look a little more human.

It also conceals blemishes well and for someone who has a LOT of blemishes let me just say it works pretty darn good.

With the different shades, you can mix it so that you get the right coverage you want.

here are the 5 colours in palatte No. 3

It's priced at SGD58 and its a little pricey but i would say it is REALLY worth it.

I'm still waiting on my Elizabeth A*rden travel palatte.

Will do another review for that when i get it
=)

p/s: i think i've found my hobby. collecting makeup! haha

Note to Self.

When I finally get a house of my own, i will vow:

1) to get dark ceramic tiles for my toilet! (darker floors mean less cleaning!!!)

2) have a feature wall (one of a dark colour) and paste some decorative sticker in the event i can't afford to wallpaper some walls.

AND

3) have some nice looking light fixtures.

All this was a result of visiting kak Fik's house in W*oodlands.

I'm sorry i don't have any photos to share.

You just had to be there to experience her well decorated house.

I for one was VERY envious.

And it just made me long for my own little breakfast nook that i've always dreamed of.

Yes, N*igella L*awson is my domestic goddess.

Hello World.

Now that im slowly beginning to blog again, i can't believe that there have been so many mishaps that happened last week.

Thus diminishing my time to blog.

But i guess with those mishaps i actually have something to blog about! heh.

So last monday i went back to school after a whole week of mc.

Needless to say, i was way behind work.

i MISSED a deadline.

*now this was a complete shocker cos I've NEVER missed a deadline before!*

not to mention my stupid laptop adapter has finally decided to give up on me.

so much work to be done.

and i had NO choice but to resort to the home PC which is unbelievably slow, M*s Office not updated at all...sigh...

so many things that could have gone wrong went wrong.

so last week i was doing 4 assignments (did i hear myself right? 4 assignments)

all on this old PC.

Thank God its still working.

I also got a little lost in S*engkang.

Took the lrt from R*enjong and wanted to get to R*umbia.

Was supposed to get down at S*engkang but didnt noe i had to so i went the whole R*enjong loop again.

*slaps forehead*

so after doing homework on friday and saturday, (even waking up early on sunday morning to complete my remaining work), i treated myself to a well-deserved date on sunday!

With who else but the Samirians and my bf.

*grins*

Things finally looked up at the end of the week. Which completely made my week!

visit the Samirians website!

-rockin' this! & the man too!-

-fave couple #1-
lisa & yas (my A.I.S.S jr. , small world coincidence!)

Harlow....

Hmm i guess i must be still trying to get into the groove of blogging again.

But im having so many problems, on the technical side.

The wire to my laptop adapter has frayed so as i sit here typing with one hand, the other hand is holding it together so that i can charge the friggin' laptop.

Just my luck.

Called up the laptop company to purchase a new adapter BUT its still making its way to S*ingapore.

Dammit.

And the timing couldn't be WORSE!

Just when i have so many assignments coming up and due.

Plus presentations.

Grrrr.....

Anyhow i will continue with my blogging endeavours however slow i may be these days.

I must blog about my wisdom tooth. Specifically the one at the bottom right.

Because the tooth had no space, it wasn't aligned properly cos it was getting pretty crowded back there.

So tooth came out but still not fully exposed and thus a flap between the gum and tooth was there.

The gum became so tender during the 1st weekend of hari raya that i was in sooo much pain.

I couldn't sleep through the night.

Half my face was swollen.

That's when i couldn't take it anymore and decided to remove the offending tooth.

It cost me almost an arm and a leg JUST to remove ONE tooth.

more specifically...$590.60.

About as expensive as my P*rada bag.

So effin' expensive.

But at least i got a 5 day MC.

heh.

stitches are also out and im so happy that im not in pain!

Yeay!!!

Ahakz. oh well. now back to assignments....

At Long Last...

*blows cobwebs*

Yes i have been gone a long time haven't i.

Practicum was just WAY too draining to even sit down to compose a post.

Now that i'm back in N*IE, its a little better.

So first things first, Eid Mubarak 1430h!

Even though i'm a little behind time.

Its been about 2 weeks since the 1st of Syawal.

It's been a trying time for my family this year.

One with loads of trials and tribulations.

InsyaAllah it will be resolved.

God is Great. MasyaAllah.

And since the last time i wrote, i think i pretty much established that we are finally a couple.

*happy dance*

Had a GREAT date yesterday. Despite me missing a chunk of tooth.

Now that's another story altogether.

But today what really got me excited was the fact that i RE-organised all my makeup!

All properly stashed away in proper containers and small pouches.

Yes i can be organised when i WANT to.

I actually took an inventory of all the makeup that i have.

Complete with all descriptions of most of the colours that i have.

I can't even believe i have THIS much makeup!

But i'm so proud of my organization skills! Ahakz!

So when my DK called to tell me he was taking half the day off, i said

"YES! i can go to D*aiso to buy containers and boxes to organize my makeup!"

Haha

Enjoy!

Before

my cheek colour collection

my eyeshadow collection

at the beginning of the organizing exercise

this black container with its individual separators only cost me SGD2 @ D*aiso

my 6-shade contouring palatte from makeup-empire.blogspot.com

10-shade pro-blush palatte from makeup-empire.blogspot.com

this white container with separators also came from D*aiso! It stores my Ardell Eyelashes and the Glue! Plus my kabuki brush that im retiring for awhile.

This cheek colour, Noble actually replaces one of my broken to pieces blush from M*A. C. called Ablaze (since it is no longer in production)

This clear zip-lock pouch came from W*atsons where i purchased the 3M A*cne Patch.
Recycling people! Show your love for Gaia!

I am absolutely in LOVE with this quintet. The colour isn't that fantastic on camera but the colours are so super pigmented that it stays on ur lids for HOURS! Just remember to put on a base! e.g, T*oo Faced Shadow Insurance

This pouch stores...

Lipsticks, eyeliners, concealer sticks etc. etc. etc.

This box contains all the empty bottles/containers used for travel and some hotel shower gels and soaps knicked from our travels abroad.

Top deck: This is how it looks like now

2nd deck: Brushes, facial products etc.

Last deck: miscellaneous items, body butter and palattes

The rack i got from I*kea @ SGD29 if im not mistaken.

Hope u loiked it!

Practicum is MADNESS.

The supervisor came once already.

Not good.

Hope i do better the next time round.

Plus, i get very little done over the weekend.

Back! Again.

More updates since i last left this dusty blog.

I realise i have been rather neglectful.

My poor baby

*coddles Blog*

Anyways, i last left off with me completely neglecting the curfew.

Ok not by choice really but by circumstance.

It was a nice Saturday afternn about 3 weeks back,

It was supposed to be a recce trip to D*esaru.

Yes we did go to D*esaru in case you haven't noticed the numerous pics i posted up on FB.

And by WE i mean us, and another 2 couples.

I'm quite sure you're all up to speed already.

So we went and had a realllllllyyyyyy lovely time there.

Took lots of photos washed in sunset pinks and blues.

It was gorgeous!

By the time all the important stuff was done, we left D*esaru at around 8pm.

Reached JB around 9.30pm close to 10pm where we headed to P*andan City so that the not-so-newly-weds could do their grocery shopping.

Anyway, by the time they completed their shopping it was 11.30pm.

And we all hadn't had dinner.

Another short drive to S*enibong, and had supper @12midnight.

Curfew is 12midnight by the way.

*kinda like U*ia*

By the time we were done with dinner, it was already 1.30am...close to 2am.

Rented car STILL had not been washed and filled with petrol yet.

When all that was done, it was already 2.30am.

And as usual, there was a jam on the C*auseway!

-All this while we were having our own M*ichael J*ackson memorial by playing M*J's greatest hits DVD on the DVD player in the car-

So I EVENTUALLY made it home at FOUR A.M!!!

Errrkkkk.

Luckily never kene nagging or scolding that was too bad by the parents.

Hee hee.

*thanking God!*

Forgive Me.

1) For not updating since i came back frm Langkawi.

2) For leaving my blog a little dusty.

3) For being too busy with practicum.

I had a few problems with my laptop a couple of days before leaving for Langkawi.

Then i had to reboot and reinstall everything which took AGES.

Then when i really wanted to blog, something went wrong with blogspot.

Truth be told this is the first time that i've successfully managed to log into blogspot.

I have no idea what happened.

First things first!

The Langkawi/KL NIE trip!

It was awesome to the max.

It was really great to travel with these bunch of peeps even though i've only known them since January this year.

We had looonnnggg nights!

Karaoke-ing on the first night then Taboo-ing (SG version) on the subsequent nights.

I must say, L*iwen is REALLLY a super night owl who is super perky @ night!

And that's BEFORE she gets loaded up with booze.

hahahahah!

Taboo i guess was our saving grace.

It was the game and NOT the trip really that bonded us.

We even carried on Taboo-ing at Y*vette's place for an all-nighter movie and Taboo-ing session

(where i had to leave before 12midnight; i am Cinderella...seriously...but i also have ANOTHER breaking curfew story that i will tell if my fingers don't ache after this update)

The Taboo session that we had @ Y*vette's GORGEOUS home was joined by J*illian (who just came back the day before from her European jaunt) and then we also were graced by the presence of Miss K*eiko! who also recently came back from her diving trip in Thailand.

Then we had G-O-H F*adly who had just touched down in Singapore that SAME night and drove all the way frm Bukit Panjang to Kovan/Hougang to join us.

The things we do for love and dedication people!

We had lots of catching up and i was truly bummed for having to leave early.

But i heard they really had OODLES and OODLES of fun!

But i DIGRESS.

I meant to talk about Langkawi.

It was G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!

i am stilllll in love with Langkawi.

Her beauty is breathtaking.

God is great. MasyaAllah.

I was truly awed and splendoured!

I went banana boating too!

That was a RIOT!

5 of us went on it, and halfway during the ride the guy tipped us over in the middle of the Andaman sea!

Getting flung off (with contact lenses still intact! thank God!) was fun and all but getting up was EXHAUSTING!!

Y*vette almost drowned. And all of us except for Feroz had problems getting up the damn banana boat.

When u're floating like neck deep, its harder to haul yourself out.

And its totally strenuous on your upper body.

Needless to say i was aching all over after that.

We were all panting like dogs when we got back to the beach.

D*arwina was all sea-sick after that. Hehehe.

And we all stayed in the hotel for the rest of the afternoon, and called in room service.

I had a Club sandwich. It was damn TASTY i tell u!

5 stars for Bayview Hotel in Kuah Town, Langkawi!

When we left for KL the following day and when we eventually checked into the hotel, it was already 3pm.

We also had a slight mix-up with the rooms.

Once everything was settled and we made our way to K.L.C.C to have lunch @ Chili's, we were FAMISHEDDDD.

We were kinda full by the time we finished our appetisers truth be told.

Then when we were served our main courses, we were pretty much struggling to FINISH everything.

I think most of us only managed to squeeze in half of what was served on the plate.

But everyone was enamoured with the mashed potatoes.

I still dream about it once in a while. HAAHAHA.

OK.

So that was it basically.

The trip was fab, i covered the most important events =D

Just wait for my NEXT update.

The one where i missed my curfew, by FOUR hours.

That's right people.

FOUR hours.

And i only got in at 4am.

He he.

So that's another story for another day!

I'm so lazy to switch on my uncooperative lappie.
i've just resorted to blogging frm my handy dandy pocket pc. I really love it!
i've been down with the flu since saturday mrng.
the parental units n the youngest brother have balik kampung.
my brother n sister are in uk with my uncle's family. which leaves me home alone. yes.
i've been home alone since sunday and I haven't left the house since yesterday.
i haven't been so lonely since a long time.
and having the flu while at the height of H1N1 is nt funny at all.

i type this frm the confines of moi room & the comfy bed i sleep on each night.
my laptop has decided to go on a holiday too.
this means tht it has also denied me the pleasure of working on my laptop for long periods of time bcos it has *overnight* become really slow and very uncooperative. i am also testing out blogging frm my brand new htc touch diamond 2.
i am seriously annoyed with my laptop because i had to do a partial reformatting of my hard-drive and as a result, i've lost all my documents and photos.
not only am i miffed but i am really depressed over this new development.
and im supposed to be really happy since gesl's over and there's langkawi n kl to look forward to!
damn the consequences!
