13kg

That's all my luggage is weighing. And I actually have 20kg allowance. What should I bring some more??

And I so clevahhh, I even bought 25kg allowance for return -_______-

Seriously, I have nothing else to bring. I brought almost ALL my makeup products. I brought clothes, 3 pairs of shoes, my hair products... all that and it's only 13kg. When it's too much, we complain. When it's too little, WE COMPLAIN. Sigh women.

Ok gotta sleep now. Only slept for 2 hours this morning for doing absolutely time-wasting activities. Gotta get up early to wash my hair tomorrow. And then...

Happy birthday to someone...

The Splurge

Omg I am feeling super guilty right now. I just bought so many cosmetics at one go! One trip to the mall! I've never bought products like how I did just now. Ok let me just go on with P365 first.

#199 - No la actually it was just there in my room cos my dad initially wanted to use it for his trip to China but in the end did not, so I left it there cos I need to use it soon anyway.
#200 - @ Greenbox yesterday!


My great karaoke kakis cos they are super freakin' funny to karaoke with!

Pictures at the top right corner and the bottom left corner were taken using the 'smile detection' function in my camera! And what it does is it detects smile and then automatically snap by itself. Meaning we don't have to press the capture button at all! How cool right? But the funny thing about it is that you gotta smile really hard for it to be able to 'detect'. Kinda stupid in a way. So the best way is to lift up your lips and show off your great set of teeth. And that's how that two pictures turned out! I love it! =D Look at Wai Loon (guy in red)!!! Wai Tuck (guy in black) was totally blinded by the flash lol.

By the way I just realised... ok not really. Someone noticed this some time ago and told me. There's Wai Loon, Wai Tuck and Wai Harn (Esther). And then there's Ee Von wtf. Hahaha what a coincidence they three have "Wai" as their middle names!

Ok back to my splurge. Oh by the way, if you're not into cosmetics, you can just stop reading here right now cos you might not 1. have a clue 2. be interested on what I'm about to talk about.

#201 - Today's damage. Shiseido Maquillage Forming Shiny Eyes, Shiseido Concealer Stick, L'oreal Infallible Lip Colour, 3 Silky Girl Funky Eyelights Pencil, Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer, Maybelline Impact Express Smooth Pencil Shadow and lastly, Majolica Majorca Jeweling Pencil.

It may not be a lot to some people (I've seen people who shop crazier than how I just did) but it's A LOT for me because I rarely buy so many stuffs at one time.

Honestly, I don't have an explanation (damn, I always find myself spelling 'explaination') for what happened. I only intended to get one thing but I dunno la. It's like chain reaction or something. When I bought it already, I suddenly got the urge to get other stuffs. And after getting other stuffs, I suddenly felt like getting another stuff.

=(

I won't say I'm totally not happy though. I'm quite excited and can't wait to use all of them!

I'll make reviews on those stuffs some day but let me just make a brief... reasoning on stuffs I bought. I needed a concealer. I needed a wearable lipstick. I needed a white eyeliner. I needed some cream-based eyeshadow as a base for my eyeshadows and I definitely needed it in a few different shades. I was at the Shiseido counter and saw the Maquillage pot and I fell in love with it instantly because it has an eyeshadow base plus 2 really gorgeous powder eyeshadow and the package is designed in such a creative way where it's sorta like 'double decker' and there's a small, cute compartment to store a mini sponge applicator.

AAAAAAnd, I initially thought of shopping for drugstore cosmetics in Melbourne but when I checked the prices online, I realised actually it's MUCH cheaper to just get them in Malaysia. I'm talking about drugstore brands of course eg. Maybelline, Revlon, Rimmel London or L'oreal. Unless it's stuffs that are not available here eg. Covergirl, Max Factor, Burjois (heard this is a branch of Chanel!) or Physician's Formula , I don't see any reason to buy it in Australia but from Malaysia. I heard these stuffs are really cheap in the US though. Majolica Majorca's a branch of Shiseido and I must say, their stuffs are really expensive considering its a drugstore brand but I was quite impressed at the quality of their eyeliners and eyeshadows. As for Silkygirl, I can't believe I'm buying their products again. I used to think they're not worth buying but this time, I have my reasons which I'll explain in another post.

And of course, I didn't just get all of those without testing. It wasn't impulsive at all. I tested out a few times and saw how well they lasted and that's why I decided to get them. Can't say much since I haven't really used them on my face (its disgusting to do so using testers ok, only tested them at the back of my hand) but I will most probably do a review on them individually later.

Can't wait to use them really soon! =)

One last thing. A video about my hair if anyone's interested haha.

bb

Haircut again!

Ok so it's Raya today. But I've got to work in the afternoon FML.

Well, I could have cancelled both classes cos they're actually replacements for the lessons when I go to Melbourne and if I don't do it today, they'll all pile up and I'll have a hard time arranging later. So, yeah.

I'm leaving on Tuesday btw =) Gosh how time flies! The wait has not felt like forever because I most of the time just forget the fact that I'm going there again haha! Probably because I bought the tickets like 4 months ago and omg it has been 3 months since I came back! Time sure flies. I'll only be there for 2 weeks but I guess 2 weeks is better than nothing. It's spring over there now so tulip farm here I come!

And I don't know if anyone agrees with me but don't you find that the clock ticks especially faster when you're procrastinating, or you're just doing something unproductive when you SHOULD be doing something else?

=( Not good. I hope I can get a good violin teacher in Melbourne to give me some master classes when I"m there.

Anyway, on another note, I cut my hair again! I couldn't stand how it's puffy on the side (my ears) and STILL flat at the top! Cos the last time I got my haircut the hairstylist wouldn't give me more layers. It was long in the inner layers, but at the outer layer it was like bob-short and that's really long if you wanna have volume! And after a while the sides just puffed up. I was ok with it for about a week or two and then I got really fed up that the volume on my hair just couldn't stay even after having hair products on. I went to Kimarie again but this time at the Taipan branch and told the hairstylist what I wanted and I'm glad that finally there is one hairstylist who actually listens his customer.

He made the sides A LOT thinner now and the crown of my hair super layered. I have hair as short as like only 3 inches at the crown of my head! He did a sucky job in styling for me though, just some hair spray but its okay because I am now pretty sure that my volume will stay better already.

Ok gotta get ready for work now.

I wish everyone a happy Raya.

Mint Chocolate Chip

My pink thang finally arrived a few days ago! It was such a smooth deal and the delivery was pretty quick. Anyhow, I only got to see it virtually so not too sure about how good it works. Looks really pretty though!

#197


Can't wait to see/touch/use it! Next Tuesday ;-)

Also, I've been wanting to create a mint chocolate chip inspired eye makeup for quite some time but never got around to finding the perfect mint green eyeshadow. Firstly, don't have the time to go shopping. Secondly, not bothered to spend a bomb honestly. So I looked into my 88 palette (its a palette with 88 colours I bought online a while ago) and was experimenting and ta daahhh! I discovered it! I was mixing all the colours I thought could possibly produce a mint green shade that I wanted but failed for a few times. Until yesterday! It's baby blue and lime green!!!

I know if I search in YouTube I'll find tonnes of the tutorials but if I view those tutorials I might just get influenced into following it so I rather not and find ways to do it my way.

I almost wanted to go get the Majolica Majorca's mint green eyeshadow I saw the other day at Watsons. I tried on their shadows and was quite impressed at how pigmented and soft to the touch they are. I checked the price and woah. Definitely too pricey for a drugstore brand.

But it's ok since I discovered the trick in getting mint green! I think this has probably got to do with my art background. I used to go to art classes since I was 6 or 7 till Form 5. I wasn't good at drawing at all but I loved painting a lot. I love colours. I guess that's why I kinda know which colour I should be looking at to mix and get what I want.

This is really weird you see. My dad works as erm... I don't know how to put it into words but anyways, he deals with paintings. Basically he started off from my grandma's business of making frames for pictures and mirrors (its a family business now btw, most of my uncs and aunts are doing it), and then he expanded his business into supplying stocks, selling paintings and galleries. And I love art since I was a kid. I'm not saying I'm good at art, but its quite obvious to tell if a person has... a sense of art? if you know what I mean. Its either he/she can draw/paint/visualise/imagine well, or none at all. Its not like studies, some people are extremely smart, some are just average, some just fail all the time. So I always have this mindset that my interest in art all came from my dad.

And as for my musical skills (though not that great YET), I probably got it for my mom. I know not many people knows this (or maybe most do judging by my countless karaoke sessions) but... the truth is I actually love singing a lot. And should I say I am blessed with a good ear which makes me have the ability to sing in tune? And my mom used to be a singer (now you know!)! So did I get that from her too? And its funny how it runs in the family! I was training my sis for her upcoming piano exam the other day and there's this part for an aural test where she has to sing in la-s in echo to a short tune I play on the piano. I was so impressed because she could sing in tune, every freakin' note! None of my student at her age could do that at all! I sometimes think some of my students are tone deaf and to teach them, its not even funny anymore. And it's really sad to be tone deaf you know? Music is such a beautiful thing.

So anywaaaaaaaay, crapped too much.

Back to that green mint chocolate chip eye makeup, I finally wore it out today.

#198




Also did a tutorial but no, I don't think I'm gonna post it up simply because... don't feel like it haha.









Ok. Fine. It's because I speak funny in the video. Funny as in I freakin' faked the American accent. HAHAHAHA! Well, just for the fun of it ;-P And no you will not find it in my channel (if you do try searching oh yes I know some of you will) cos I didn't upload. HAHA.

Ok bye.

万岁万岁万万岁

I am supposed to practice but my tooth freakin' hurts now and it's been hurting for quite some time since I had that stupid slice of apple hmmpph. No mood already lah.

Let me just continue with Project 365. Anyone realise I am almost at my 200th day already? I am honestly quite impressed by my own perseverance haha.

#191 - Blogged about this in a few previous post.
#192 - Was trying to get an 'artistic shot' but obviously failed T_T

#193 - I'm so happy I am able to tie a high ponytail again! I totally couldn't do that when I was still having my super long hair. I do miss it though.
#194 - The day Bruno first came home and took his first shower in our house!

#195 - =)
#196 - This was NOT supposed to be here cause the whole plan was supposed to be a surprise. But oh well. I've blogged about what happened previously.

On another note, Wk has been telling me I look a lot like a Japanese ever since I got my hair done. And I told him, "15 mins later will become Malaysian".

Anyway, the purpose of these two pictures is to show you my transformation wtf. That's me on the right after taking off my "mask". Scary?

And lastly, something that cracked me up good.

The chinese words totally made me lol. It means "eevon's blog man sui man sui man man sui!" in Cantonese and I'm sure I don't have to explain anymore in other dialects cos I think most Chinese people will know what it means. Unless you're a Chinese who understands zero Chinese dialects, it simply means "long live eevon's blog" but you won't get the joke if you don't know anything Chinese or have never watched any TVB dramas.

And yes, I know videos are a pain to wait for it to load but and I've been popping out videos so often but don't worry, I am not going to do vlogs because 1. I suck at talking. 2. I'm not a spontaneous person. I usually type out what I want to talk about cos otherwise, I get stuck most of the times. Yes that explains all the times I don't look at the camera. 3. Like Wk said, reading is easier than waiting for loading.

I usually only do vlogs on tags because I simply know people don't really like reading tags. And I know because I'm one of them haha. Unless it's interesting. But who really cares about what I use anyways? Right? So I thought it'd be interesting to make videos instead.

Other than that, I still prefer writing a lot. At least there's a backspace button that can save the hassle of editing. At least, I don't have to be so spontaneous. And at least, I don't have to speak funny English ugh. I hate the way I speak in the videos. I tell you, I totally don't speak like that in real life. I actually use a lot of 'lah's, 'loh's, 'wan's, 'rite?'s and you know what I mean. I don't know why I freakin' sound so formal in those videos...

Ok bedtime. Oh wait, Life of Pi first hehe.

Hair Routine

Extreme amount of self-obsessed and vain pictures. You have been warned.






Actually only 9 la.

Before:

Flatttt

In the middle:

My did-it-myself polka dot nails nice or not!




Almost there but needed more practice.



After:

So I finally bought hair products and managed to enhance the process of styling and at least, got the volume I want though I still think I need more shorter layers hrmm. I even did a video showing my hair routine. Did I hear people go "VIDEO AGAIN???" ahahahhahah!

I seriously don't know what's wrong with me and making videos :S

bb

Goshhh I'm so obsessed with my hair!!!

And yeap, that's Brunno, a new Rottie at home. Max (the previous Rottie) passed away a week ago. It's really sad. I don't wanna go into that. Right now, Bruno's like a piece of toy for me haha. So adorable!

Anyway, I've just arranged replacements for all the lessons when I leave for Melbourne. So excited! It's only a week away now! Can't wait for the holiday. I saw the Priceline catalogue and omg they have so many drugstore cosmetics that we don't have here in Malaysia! I'll definitely go check them out. And oh yeah NARS I'll definitely go see them at David Jones's beauty department this time. The last time I passed by the counter I totally forgot to go back there to really take a good look at their stuffs.

Ok. Time to continue with my super slow Life of Pi. Finally it's beginning to get interesting. The ship finally sank. And it all happened so suddenly.
