Long break

About time this space needed something new.

Unfortunately I don't have anything interesting to write about.

Maybe it's because I've been writing so much that I don't feel the pressing need for self-expression anymore.

Well.

Till then.

See you around.

The TBB

TBB is the weirdest person ever.

Today I was with Lady Boss/Cocky Woman (bukan nama sebenar) at her cousin's boutique opening at Damansara Uptown, and while I was halfway gorging myself on finger food (I think I ate one week's worth of food), he called me.

He always manages to call me when I'm doing something that requires the use of both my hands. When my hands are free he hardly calls >________>

Anyway when I answered the call he asked excitedly, "EH, HOW EH HOW EH, GOT PEOPLE DANCING OR NOT???"

Me: "er why would there be people dancing"

And he said (in a tone that half-implied I was slow in the head) "NEW SHOP OPENING ALWAYS GOT PEOPLE DANCING ONE MAH"

Like there would be people dancing at boutique openings >_______________>

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I asked him what kind of dance and he was all "neh like 裙子舞 or 扇子舞 like that lo" like it happens all the time when people open new shops.

When I answered "no la stupid ah you where got people dancing one" he demanded to know if there was a lion dance.


(Walao this photo is very old. He looks so young here hurhurhurhur)

Part 2

Celebrated my "old" younger brother's birthday last week with my aunts at Sushi Zanmai, but we forgot to buy cake hurhurhurhurhur. At least we had ice-cream after that goooooooooooooood Japanese ice-cream, thanks to my aunt(s). They also got me a really nice wrap (clothing, not food), the top I'm wearing below, an awesome dress, and a pair of Ipanemas (40% off don't buy then stupid leh)! It's been so long since I actually bought anything worth mentioning T_____________________T

Giving him what's left of my meagre pay (I don't get paid much at all - but I love my job hurhurhur I no longer need to spend money on beauty products, and I get to do what I love most: try out products, go to events, write about them, look at products bla bla bla bla bla) and hoping that he spends it well on his present. Oh well his present is my present anyway, he needs a subject to photograph and I willingly volunteer most of the time (when I have my makeup on and am decently dressed). Eh I bought him a card also leh, although it is a very sarcastic card that says "BROTHER, EVEN THE MOST FANTASTIC BDAY PRESENT COULDN'T REFLECT HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME... (and inside) SO I FIGURED WHY BOTHER!" HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


My colleague was so kind to give me her OPI stash *^________^* (cute but annoying emoticon) because she doesn't use them anymore. I've been really into French manicures lately, DIY-ed of course WHO GOT SO MUCH MONEY TO PAY FOR PROFESSIONAL MANICURE HELLO.

I thought of this idea (dark French - dark base and dark tips) for my November beauty spread and it's going to be published soon (in Nov, duh) hooohooooo /shiny eyes

Faking perfectly curved French tips with strips of masking tape (no need to buy French stickies!)


Jeng jeng jeng (but the flash overpowered everything, I swear it's much more obvious in real life!)


Did the same for my fingernails but in a different shade (a very girly pearly lilac hue).


Nothing a bit of masking tape can't do.


I think I have lost all sense of time, it's only September and I'm in a Christmas mood because we're working on the December issue already wtf. I'm looking at Christmas specials from the cosmetic companies almost every day, and it's only been less than 3 days after raya. Go figure.

I am officially living two months into the future, and don't know what today's date is.

Part 1

Sometimes I wonder why the mechanics of nature have changed so much over the years. Like how men used to be synonymous with drinking alcohol, smoking and swearing and women were always related to things like acting ditzy, being stupid and staying at home being all demure.

Which is a shitload of utter bullcrap if you ask me.

But then again I actually know of some girls who act like they're stupid all the time, because acting this way earns them brownie points in front of guys because they're so endearing and adorably dumb (or so they think). I'm not sure if they're naturally that stupid (if this is the case then my heart bleeds for them), or if they're just putting on a show. But either way it's really annoying. Talk about dumb blonde overdose.

(anyway I would like to point out that this is not for you, you perasan sick freak of a retard, because I have better things to do than spend the rest of my life writing about you and the things you 'like and worship' - just in case you take it into your pretty little head that I am bitching about you again and proceed to remove all remnants of me from your sorry life)

This is teh Plutteh (oh so young and fine wtf >_____________>).


Being ambushed by phantom fog near Jalan Sultan Ismail. Animals in car (all belonging to TBB because he is very weird) dying of poisonous gas.

Safe from phantom fog, on the way to Pavilion. Rejoice!


I wanted to write a birthday post for Plutty, but nobody has sent me photos from Wondermilk, so cannot write leh.

Things that I feel are horribly overrated these days:

1. Gladiator sandals/caged heels/the like - so annoying already leh even though sometimes I secretly like trying them on at shops because I know I will never buy them
2. Cupcakes (did you know that a cupcake the size of of half your palm is selling for RM4.50? I would eat it, but not buy it lorr so expensive!)
3. Stick-straight bangs - let's face it, it's so hard to maintain and usually looks uber unflattering, why bother anyway?
4. Attending blogger-related events. Enough said.
   
5. Mascara (so many types, so many functions, and the best thing is: none of them actually do what they claim to do, because Asian lashes are often short and grow downwards, and the humidity in the air makes curled lashes droop by the end of the day. I've stopped using mascara for 2 years now - they don't do shit for me)
6. Italiannies - shitty lunch sets with gross soup and mains. Exorbitant prices. Not worth it at all mahai pepet. The only thing that's good is the creme brulee but it costs over RM11.90, sien.
7. Racerback tops - I don't like them that much, the cut is always weird (makes you look like you're strangling yourself), and the shape always loosens after a few washes.

The end of Part 1, a rojak mixture of all sorts of crap.

I haven't updated for centuries. Aiyah very sien already nothing to write about leh, blogging is very superficial sometimes.

Sometimes I get very annoyed at people who act like they know everything D:<

I also get annoyed at parents who speak to their children in really broken English, because it's bad for the kid and warps his or her brain.

I am tired and want to sleep.

To compensate for the long photo drought, in case you think I'm dead or got disfigured in an accident.

Good times (not in chronological order).

Footie, me and my fucking highlighter eyes.


A thin (lala) TBB and me before the discovery of makeup.


At Gardens Lifestyle Cafe (or some shit name), with a bunch of siao friends.


Opocot ada auntie tutup mata. Pui Ee, happy birthday today. You would have had a great time.

Stalking the conjoined twins. They look like they're stuck together hor.


Really obscene unstaged photo. Conjoined twins have been separated.


Just in case there is a photo flood, I shall stop here.

Toodles.

Midnight Nonsense

I spent the entire night downloading songs, really old songs like Ryan Cabrera's True and Matchbox Twenty's Bright Lights. Plutty and I were listening to boyband songs (Backstreet Boys!) in the car today and we both lamented on how there is no good music nowadays that deserves the same amount of love that we had (and still have) for the songs we used to listen to in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

Was at One Utama doing product loans for my shoot last week, and I got really sien walking around, having nothing to do while waiting out the stupid traffic jam, and I went against all my principles and got a pair of faux snakeskin and satin slutty heels, and I don't even fucking like animal prints! But then the pair of heels was very nice and very high and surprisingly comfortable for such a high pair of heels, so I decided to fuck it and buy it (as a treat for being an underpaid corporate slave) /shiny eyes

I really want to get a nice pair of heels (ie from Aldo or Nine West), but I think my wallet would bleed to death and die, and so would my sorry feet, because I am not a heels person, even though I have quite a few pairs and always go out and look for new ones to buy >_>

Blablablabla.

Eh actually I think designer brands are really overpriced lo wtf I loaned a dress from a shop and it was RM999 gila babi so expensive how to wear eh can please tell me or not. Then there was another snakeskin print tube dress from another brand, and it was RM699 kisiao cibai pepet. I wouldn't pay more than RM25 for it, and all my colleagues agreed that they would not pay more than that either. SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY IT IS SO RIDICULOUSLY PRICED? Some more a bit hideous lo.

Anywayyyyy I miss my friends (whatever friends I have left). =(

And I kind of miss home T__________T

This is the life

About time this space deserved an update, although I really don't know what to write here. It's not that I don't have anything to write about (I do), but then there's so much to write about and I don't even fucking know where to start.

It's nice having friends who are really nice to you, because that somehow in this cruel, heartless world, there's at least a few people (although very few) who actually seem to care about how you feel. /shiny eyes

I haven't taken a lot of photos lately, because I either go out without makeup, or I go out with makeup on and forget to take photos/don't feel like taking photos/find that it's not the right time to take photos.

Some things got me thinking today: what is love exactly? Is it when you hide things from your other half because you know they'll be heartbroken if they find out? Or is it being honest and telling them everything you feel they need to know, because you believe in not hiding anything from them?

Things are fine with TBB (teehee), but I just found out about something that made me think this way. But then again who am I to judge when I know I'm only human. People make mistakes or wrong decisions.

Sometimes I feel like I am very stupid (from a common sense perspective, I seem to have none whatsoever). There are times when I make comments that have no sense at all, but then I don't even realize it until later on. >_>

But then again it's very exhilarating to be a little bit stupid and still know that you're perfectly capable of doing what you set out to do in the first place. It's a refreshing change from being super anal and planning your life out 10 days before you actually do something because you're afraid to mess things up and spoil your predetermined plans. Hey, I actually like being stupid because that way you life is less fucked up because you tend not to overanalyze. Although I feel that I'm also one of the most anal people in the world.

Life is good right now, and I think I'd like it to stay this way :)

A list of things.

1. It's Merdeka eve and I'm at home doing nuts, because I have no friends (boohoo). I want to go out, but everyone I know is not in town T____________T HOW TO GO OUT YOU TELL ME T__________T

2. I seriously think that peer pressure is a sucky thing. Not that I succumb to it (I rarely do), but I feel that sometimes we should stand up for what we believe in and not do something just because all our friends do it.

3. I watched two animated movies today (glamour name for cartoon, huhu) and spent a bulk of my time playing games on my computer. I woke up ar 12.30 and have done nothing constructive for the day.

4. I kind of love my job, because it involves things I love the most: writing, skincare, makeup and freebies. And I get to go out a lot :D :D :D :D But then again it's kind of stressful because there's so much to learn, especially about the photoshoots. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Hope all goes well. It gets a bit lonely at events though; people from English publications tend to be less friendly. OH THE IRONY. I work for an English publication.

5. I think I've lost weight (ahem), if not then I definitely have a smaller appetite now. I was at Ikea with Fatty yesterday and I got an ice cream and a hot dog. I didn't manage to finish the hot dog. One month ago I would have eaten one ice cream, one hot dog and a curry puff (or two).

6. Tomorrow is a public holiday, but I forsee (actually don't even need to forsee, I already know) that I will be staying at home again, spending some quality time with my laptop, eating instant food (because I am lazy).

7. I really, really need a holiday, but I have no time. I miss the days when I had nothing to do except wake up and put on ratty clothes and laze around at home (in Kelantan). I miss Bangkok (except for the fucking horrendous amount of walking that we did and left me almost crippled). I miss waking up late and going to class and meeting up with what few friends I have.

8. Maybe I should just drown myself in alcohol. I have some bottles sitting on my table, all very nice one (lychee, orange and peach), and one day I mixed them all together with orange juice and nearly knocked myself out with the potent cocktail wtf. Half a mug (don't have a proper glass for cold drinks here) and I was so sleepy already hurhurhurhur. But boy was it goooooooooooooood.

9. Actually I don't mind spending time alone, because I actually like being alone. But then again it doesn't hurt to spend time with the people I like, because it makes time pass faster (much faster). Plutty I am seeing you next week and I have a proposition for you.

10. One hour fifteen minutes more to Independence Day. It feels like any other day. Nothing special, boo.

The thinning scissors

One of my best hair-related buys has got to be scissors.

I got mine from a home appliance shop at One Utama (the one opposite Skin Food) for RM5, but the last time I went to Daiso I saw that they had the same type of scissors too.

They are called thinning scissors and basically look like this, but a lot less canggih :

EH RM5 ONLY WHAT DO YOU EXPECT, DIAMOND-ENCRUSTED HANDLE AH.

Anyway it works really well in thinning out bangs that are too heavy. Maintaining a fringe is not easy, especially if you are very kiamsiap and don't want to fork out RM10 every month to have it trimmed.

My solution: nothing a bit of DIY can't fix. I've been trimming my fringe for months now, to keep the length just right where it doesn't poke out my eyes and I can still see in front of me.

I actually got a pair of thinning scissors last month but was too scardey cat to use it, because I was afraid I'd snip off too much from my fringe and look like something ate my head in the middle of the night and spit me out again.

Last night I finally got to using it because my fringe was being uber annoying. It was really weighted down because I usually trim it with a normal pair of scissors.

I tried snipping a lock of hair with the thinning scissors and got a bit scared because so much hair fell off. But then I thought die die lah don't care so I went ahead anyway and I'm glad I did because my fringe is much lighter and more natural now

:D

Wow, I have such an interesting life, I just wrote an entire post about a pair of RM5 scissors.

.

I went out with Plutty over the weekend and I drove all the way to Ikea by myself

:D

Plutty I drove all the way to Ikea for you T_________________T

Anyway my life is very boring nowadays.

So so so so sien.

Driving 101

There's something about driving that makes me feel like an incompetent retard. I hate driving, because I suck at it, and also because it makes me feel really stressed out trying to figure out which turning I should take, and when I should change lanes etc.

And then there is parking. I dread parking the most, because I don't know how to side park and I don't know how to reverse park either. The only type of parking I can do is the type where you just drive into the space, turn off the ignition and lock your car. That's it.

It all seems so easy when I go over the process in my head, or when I see other people do it. But somehow when I try I always fail miserably =(

It's hard because the car I'm driving now is a manual car without a power steering, and the car engulfs me completely so I can't see in front or behind at all.

How come other people can drive so well and I can't =(

Dim Sum!

I sort of went trigger-happy with the Ventolin inhaler and I'm now really hyper wuwuwuwuwuwu. But then again I only pumped twice. On an empty stomach oooooooooh that's why.

I have so many backdated pictures stashed in my camera (actually it's not even mine, but it's in my possession, so.), but I haven't really gotten to uploading them yet, very busy these days leh (lies).

There is this Dim Sum uncle who sells dim sum (duh) and other things like Guilingao/taufufa/soya bean drink/sugar cane, and I bought lunch from him for two days last week hurhurur because his van is right outside the main entrance of the office. Walk out can see already huhuhu so near.

I got this salted egg siu mai, which was quite good by dim sum standards (my dim sum standards, that is). Just the right amount of five spice powder and the perfect balance between savoury and sweet. And they weren't the kosong kosong kind (you know the type where you try picking it up with your chopsticks and it all falls apart like crap), very compact but not as compact as the ones from Kuching (those are VERY compact, like solid siu mais). The lomaikai's not bad either, but it's a bit dry on top. The inside, however, is a different story - very nice :D

The Dim Sum uncle is only available outside the office from Tuesday to Thursday, 11.30am to 1.30pm.

No dim sum today, sigh.

TBB is away on a 'business trip' so I shall be lonely. But fret not! There is Plants vs Zombies, probably one of the best games ever created.

I'm telling you, this game is the shizzah.

Here's to you! :D

Helloo.

I've run out of things to write about, because I have been wallowing in sorrow for the past week since I have no friends wuwuwuwu so sad.

Every morning I cheer myself up with a great big dose of Dumbo Blondo, only that this is the full-blown Asian version.

Ya lo perasan more lah it's good for the soul, you dimwit, because obviously you seem to think that everything revolves around you.

'I shall refrain from commenting as it makes me a bigger person' yadda yadda yadda.

Ooooo I'm sorry but I like harping on things, especially if I feel you are stupid enough to jump to conclusions and 'assume' that I like to bitch about you all the time (aiyah so many people in the world and I have to pick a dimwit like you? /rolls eyes), maybe you're a tad on the delusional side, my friend.

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

I think I would probably die from being cursed by some gheyz (I generally like the GBLT community, but not this one because I think she/he (I don't know she or he lah) is extremely vile.

Ok excuse me while I go work now. I have more important things to tend to and I have another event in the afternoon. :D

Joke of the day

Today I realized that I play the main role in a very big joke, probably the biggest joke of the year.

Of course there are two sides to every coin, so some people think that I am 'a person who is obsessed with buying el cheapo things that seemingly look expensive (to me)', and that I am in truth, a 'self-centered Times Square resident'.

I could be wrong, but I know my maths, having taken maths all through Primary 1 to 6, and Form 1 to 6 (and a bit in uni but I don't remember for what subject), and I've learnt about probability and the shizzah.

Anyway the joke is that some people like to think that what I write is about them (wtf), and proceed to tell the world or anyone who will listen that I am a freak of nature (which is kind of true in a way, but double wtf anyway).

The bigger joke is that I totally had no idea that people could be so sensitive (to current issues hurhurhur, read the papers much?) to things, and automatically come to conclusions that everything in this very world revolves around them, ho hum pig's bum.

I don't make it a point to hide what I feel, if I don't like some things I'll say I don't like 'em, and I usually don't give a flying fuck as to whether other people like/obsess about/are slaves to what I loathe.

And so it got me wondering. If I publicly detest things like Louis Vuitton, Jolin Tsai and Rainie Yang, that makes me a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad person. Oh I never knew that it was against the law to dislike things boohooohooo. T_____________________________T

The funny thing is that I had absolutely no idea until this afternoon (oh god why am I such a dumb blonde!), and the very knowledge of this joke made me want to laugh out loud so bad, I had to staple my mouth shut with my colleague's heavy duty stapler.

ALL TOGETHER NOW, I AM A BAD PERSON, PLEASE STOP BEING FRIENDS WITH ME, DON'T TALK TO ME BECAUSE I AM EVIL AND IT IS CONTAGIOUS. PLEASE SUBMIT MY NAME AND MY PHOTO TO FAILBLOG BECAUSE I AM AN EPIC FAIL OF A NICE PERSON.

You have been warned, now keep your distance or I will burn every single thing you have which costs over RM10, because I 'cannot stand expensive things, I am an el cheapo'.

Oooooooooooooeee boy am I feeling uncharacteristically bitchy today.

/jovial

For want of better PS skills

/bitch fit

I am going through my graduation e-album as we speak (well technically we're not speaking exactly but aiyah don't care lah), and I am shocked, no, horrified at the Photoshop skills that these 'experts' have, because..

Say hello to my grandmother from the future

• Why is my face so pinched?
• Why are my eyes placed so far apart?
• Why are my eyes so fucking small?
• Why do I look like I am fucking 60 years old?

TBB's photo isn't that bad at first glance, but then

• Why is his nose twice the size of his real nose?
• Why are his eyes also placed so far apart (one in Australia, one in India wtf)?
• Why does his face look equally pinched?
• Why does he look like he has his face covered in wax?
  

I could definitely do a better job and then some even with my paltry PS skills, no offense, because this 'touch up', as it is 'rightfully' called, is really, really bad. If you think mine is fugly, this ' PS expert' went overboard with the Liquify tool and warped some of my classmates' photos, so they have two misshapen eyes, on different sides of the face.

I honestly don't think the original photos are this fugly, having been taken by my friend's boyfriend who works at uni, and he was really nice and super patient and let me take an extra one.

But I honestly think that the person editing the photos needs to be fired/fried (in oil).

On normal days, when I am not disguising myself as a 60-year old graduate who underwent really bad plastic surgery, I usually look like this, only not so hiao lah pose for photo only what everyday so hiao for what:

That has got to be the most boring post ever. EVER.

Corporate slave 101

After much observation, I have come to the conclusion that

It is very hard to find a job that:

• You really, really like
• Is very near your house/is convenient
• You are good at
• Pays fucking well

Mine doesn't have all 4 categories, but I'm pretty happy with the way things are right now. I'm chasing my dream.

:D

O hai i am fug

Have you ever gotten the feeling where you look at someone and instantly hate him/her because of how he/she looks?

I have.

Many times.

There is this girl (who is a friend of a friend) on FB, and whenever I see her face I have this biting urge to reach out and slap her silly, but obviously I can't because I can't reach into the computer screen and drag her out >___>

I don't know her personally, but the way she replies status messages, and the way she captions her photos (pretty girl bla bla bla with excessive usage of ~~~~~~~~~~) is extremely annoying, and it makes me want to shake her so hard that her oversized head detaches itself from her body.

It doesn't help that I already don't like my existing FB friend to start off with (I don't like a lot of people, but in the end other people also end up not liking them for the same reason, they just take a longer time to realize it), so it makes me dislike her more (guilt by association).

She is one fucking scary looking chick. Yeah I'm cruel to insult her yadda yadda yadda but I really don't like righteous retards who think that they own the entire fucking universe and expect it to turn in the direction they want it to, so there.

p/s: I also don't like people who update their FB status every 1.3572 seconds because they feel that the entire world should know about what they are eating/doing. Aiyah if you want to get something done then just get it fucking done and over with AND THEN post it on FB lah, not contemplate out loud on FB for one million days and force everyone to go through your mental turmoil with you and pretend to want their sincere opinion(s) when you've already made up your mind ages ago.

p/p/s: I also don't like people who write articles/essays/wotsits and deliberately slot in big words in place of normal, seemingly 'mundane' words so that they seem more impressive and 'well-read'. It's just so desperate, like 'OH LOOK AT ME I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT I CAN SPELL AND WRITE IN ENGLISH, I WANT TO SHOW YOU I KNOW WHAT PLETHORA MEANS WOOHOO PICK ME PICK ME I WANT TO GROVEL AY YOUR FEET AND BE YOUR SLAVE'.

For example:
I unquestionably scunner you, I contemplate that you are a sluggish human being.

Wouldn't it be much easier if you just said:
I really fucking dislike you, and I think that you are a stupid fucker.

Straight to the point, and so clear-cut.
Makes things much more convenient, eh?

For the last goddamn time, I don't understand why some people like to put on hats that are too big for their head. YES I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF HAIR ON YOUR HEAD, BUT THE SIZE OF YOUR HAIR IS NOT THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD OK SO PLEASE GET A HAT THAT FITS YOUR STUPID RETARDED HEAD FOR F'S SAKE.

My humble point of view is: stop acting like someone you're not, because even if you delude yourself enough to believe that your facade (how do you type the c with a comma underneath it) is real, you won't be able to fool the rest of the world. We see through you like how we see through a lady's white shirt under UV light (and see that she's wearing a bra with sunflowers printed on the boobs).

It's that obvious.

Oh and by the way, have a Domokun to lighten up the mood.

Feels better, doesn't it?

I recently invested my money in a considerable amount of things (like skincare and multifunctional clothes - for work and play)

Etude House is having a sale (20% off makeup, 30% off skincare, 40% off accessories, and 50% off selected items like lipsticks and brow shadows), and you just don't turn down such a good offer.

I got 2 different types of moisturizing masks:

Milk Tea Moisturizing Mousse Pack, RM35.90 (but RM 27+ after discount)

I bought this because of its texture, so cottony smooth and puffy (like hair mousse). And it smells heavenly, like baby powder and milk (doesn't smell anything like tea though). I don't know how moisturizing it is, because I've only used it once, but it didn't aggravate my skin so I'm pretty happy.

Moistfull 3-in-1 Massage Mask, RM29.90 (RM20+ after discount)

I got this simply because it was cheap, and it's a 3-way mask (I'm obsessed with masks). You either use it as a massage cream, as a rinse-off mask, or as a sleeping mask (leave it on for the whole night and wash it off in the morning). I used it as a sleeping mask and my face was considerably smoother in the morning, but it was a bit sticky upon application at night. Then I tried it as a rinse-off mask, which gave quite satisfactory results too. It comes in a very big tub (180ml), value for money.

I also got this white-coloured cream based eyeshadow to use as a highlighter around my eyes and wherever necessary (because my cousin's friend works at a bridal shop and has the nicest makeup ever - radiant and glowing - and she said she uses a highlighter) for RM8 (normal price RM9.90) and it works, in a very subtle way. It makes me look more awake, teehee.

Moving on.

Bought a French Connection abstract print tube dress at the warehouse sale at One Utama for RM15 (so effing cheap), and another top for RM5 which I plan to salvage because the straps are a bit wonky already.

I just realized that I don't have a stupid blazer/jacket for my convocation, and I haven't gotten my black slacks altered yet.

Maybelline New York Simply Fabulous Reality Contest

The first makeup product I ever owned was a Maybelline New York lipgloss, back in the days when young people my age (then 14, I'm so old now T__T) still didn't have much makeup on except for the occasional lipgloss or coloured eyeshadow (applied wrongly to accentuate all the wrong features btw).

Times sure have changed. I'm not saying that makeup is a must in every girl's life (some girls are just born so lucky to have great skin and modelesque features), but it's definitely changed how I look hurhurhurhur. In a way it kind of changed my life. With the right type of makeup (ahem) I can transform myself (the eyes AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the misshapen, irregularly-sized eyes) into someone different, however and whenever I want to.

Now Maybelline New York is giving you a chance to transform your own life. You meaning Malaysian girls (GIRLS ONLY OK) aged between 18 to 30 years old, which is practically anyone actually.


SIMPLY FABULOUS is Maybelline's first ever online reality show where one simply fabulous girl gets to live out her dream (any dream!! But of course realistic ones lah not like 'oh I want to become the next Malaysian Jolin Tsai and look exactly like her'). The best thing about SIMPLY FABULOUS is that it's broadcasted online every day for a span of 23 days (whoooot for lazy people who don't have a TV and are physically/mentally/emotionally attached to the Internet - like me).

Contests just aren't contests without fab prizes >_> and so.

Miss SIMPLY FABULOUS gets RM10,000 to fulfill her dream, plus a trip to the motherland of Maybelline New York (NYC!!! Big Apple here we come!), and other goodies too, which is worth a total of a whopping RM50k. The winner even gets to be a part of the New York Fashion Week, what more could a girl ask for, seriously.

How to enter and kick some major @$$:
1. As Tyra Banks would say, strike a 'fiercee pose'

2. You need a full length photo


3. And a close-up one of your face


4. Upload your fierceness at www.8tv.com.my/simplyfabulous and get ready to wow the world with your presence (should you be selected as one of the 10 finalists hurhurhur)

In my humble opinion I think it would be wise to remove all unnecessary facial/body hair before you actually have your photos taken, ahem ahem.

I am dying

Today my right knee gave out on me T________T

I was at Watson's about to show my cousin some really interesting hair product. I bent down to pick it up from the shelf, and my knee just gave way T___________T

I felt my kneecap twist inside, like how you twist the bones of a chicken leg to remove the drumstick from the thigh. The weird thing was as it was happening I was thinking mentally, 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WHY IS MY KNEE SO PAINFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL'

The next thing I know I'm on the floor writhing in pain and my leg is having a trembling fit of its own.

I seriously thought I was going to die.

I was on the floor for a few minutes before I was able to get up wuwuwuwuwu T________T

But I spent the remainder of the day at Mid Valley, window shopping like any normal person who just sprained her knee and had to walk with a limp. Bought a really pretty dress and some basic black/white tops for work hurhurhurhurhur.

It was only after we finished watching Obsessed that my knee started acting like a bitch and I had to ask Andy Lau to send me to the 24-hour clinic at Paramount, and paid Rm60 for 10 minutes of consultation plus 3 types of meds.

It is now 1.05 am, and I am seriously contemplating how I am going to One Utama tomorrow, with this cacat leg and all. I wouldn't mind being pushed in a wheelchair, have to ask my cousin if she would be willing to push me >_>

I am dying T________________T

On the Skybus.

While on the plane back to KL:

I saw an uncle sitting across the aisle, nodding his head with his eyes closed. I thought to myself, 'wow this guy sure sleeps weird'.

Seconds later I turned around and he was shaking his head from side to side.

>_>

Talk about using his free time to do some exercise.

AND THEN he started talking on the phone the minute the plane touched down, inside the plane.

When I got on the Skybus I was lucky enough to sit next to him (the only seat left).

Well at least Exercise Man is better than the stinky guy my cousin got. I'm surprised she didn't die of suffocation halfway through.

I tucked my purse safely in the warm confines of my armpit throughout the journey for fear of having it stolen by Exercise Man.

Never, ever trust a person who uses his phone on a plane.

I am such a boring person (again)

Stole this off my cousin's FB note, because I am fasting tonight (ate too much for lunch and feel really crappy now).

1. I am a very angsty person, as if you don't know already.
2. There are things that I don't like proclaiming to the world. Like my personal life. It is called my personal life for a very obvious reason.
   
3. I don't feel the need to spam people with the fact that I am in a relationship that makes me happy and I am perfectly satisfied with the way things are.
   
4. Neither do I feel the pressing need to try and explain what I do because I don't need to convince myself that what I do is right/wrong.
   
5. Just because I go out at night (and I like doing so), it does not make me a bad person. It does not make me any less different than the person I already am.
6. There are a lot of holier-than-thou hypocrites who think that they know me better than I know myself. I am allegedly a party animal. Oh wow isn't it wonderful to know things about yourself that you never knew before this.
   
7. I don't like it when people say things about me that aren't even remotely true. It makes me angry and sad and disappointed.
   
8. Just because I (occasionally) like to write cryptically, sometimes I just do it for my own amusement because I don't like people to guess what I'm thinking.
   
9. I like to do my own thinking, because I don't believe in having my own life mapped out for me by someone else.
10. I don't like to talk when I'm in an ugly mood. I prefer to mull things over in my head until I come to terms with whatever is bugging me.
    
11. A person, however jovial, does not have 365 happy days in a year. Nor are there 24 happy hours in a day, or 7 happy days in a week.

THE END.

POTY

Party of the year ftw!!!!!!






This is the happiest I've been for a very long time.

My top nice or not!!! RM10 only!!! /smug

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

There are things that you're not able to tell the world, because there simply isn't anyone you can tell. Nobody understands, and nobody will listen.

I stare into nothingness with an aching heart that feels like it's being ripped apart and set on fire.
I wish I could change things so that it wouldn't have to be this hard.
I dread going back to an empty house, because my voice echoes off the walls.
I hate having nobody to talk to, having nobody to eat meals with.
I feel myself suffocate with every breath I take.
I feel myself dying inside with every passing second.

I don't know what to do anymore.

stupid.

Woke up to a scratchy, itchy sore throat, courtesy of Mr Daniel (and Coke), the gentleman who was with us yesterday night.

And a 2-minute phone call which all but knocked the breath out of me and made me thank The Creator for giving me what I've always, always wanted. I am still in a state of utter disbelief, as if it will all fall apart within seconds.

:D

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

DID YOU KNOW THAT A FUCKING SHISEIDO BA SNUBBED ME AT THE SPRING IN KUCHING MAHAI. SHE WAS THERE SERVING A FUCKING BORING LOOKING WOMAN AND I WAS STANDING THERE RIGHT NEXT TO THE WOMAN, LOOKING AT HER (THE BA) AND SHE ACTUALLY PROCEEDED TO IGNORE ME WHEN I REALLY WANTED TO BUY SOMETHING (LOST MY FUCKING BROW PENCIL). SHE FINALLY ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED AFTER 5 MINUTES OR SO, CIBAI PEPET HAI. >:(

SO ANGRY AH JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LOOK LIKE SOMEONE WHO WOULD USE YOUR PRODUCTS, DOES THAT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BE RUDE WHEN YOU ARE A MERELY A FUCKING SALESPERSON?

I used to work as a BA for Shiseido too and that is definitely not the way to treat customers, your moronic retard.

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

There is a very distinct difference between looking stupid and actually being stupid.

D:

i am a boring person

Have you ever felt that you are able to tell what other people are thinking? To be able to feel what they're feeling inside?

I have.

Sometimes I look at a person and somehow I can identify with the emotions running through his/her head, without having him/her tell me.

I've felt a myriad of emotions, ranging from simmering annoyance to awkwardness, and it makes me feel spiritually closer to that person, even though I don't tell them that I feel what they're feeling inside.

I secretly like feeling this way.

I guess that makes me either very creepy or retarded.

Weirdness aside, we just had the awesomest birthday party ever. Well technically it wasn't my birthday (obviously), but it was the most fun I've had in a long time.

We had Mr Daniel (first name Jack) with Coke, HOHOHOHO DANNIE ARE YOU FUCKING JEALOUS OF ME.

You might have noticed that I haven't posted anything substantial in quite some time, because:

1. I am too busy (ahem)
2. I am too busy (ahem)
3. I am too busy (ahem)

enjoying my life as an unemployed person without any direction whatsoever in life.

My cousin, who is very funny/cute.


Fish and chips from Sharing Planet.


Vintage posters at a shop that sells awesome ma lat noodles.


And that, my friends, is the end of my boring existence.
