15 December

So, it's not so bad after all =)

Honestly, I am not 'a little' disappointed about not winning. Ok so I lied. I was very disappointed cos I didn't even make it to the 1st or 2nd runner up. And to think that I put in so much of effort in it. I went out with Esther and Wai Tuck in the evening just to make myself forget about this unimportant thing. Afterall, I know I still have people who love what I did. I'll talk more about this in my LJ.

Sad things aside, I have another happy news! =D

Wk is coming back on... *drumrolls

a day before my birthday!

That sucker used my trick. I surprised him (well, sorta if he didn't find out) by going to Melbourne a day before his birthday in September this year and told him that's my b'day present for him, and now, he's using it on me. HE TOLD ME THAT'S MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT WTF.

Hahah. Of course I know it's all planned out just for me. He always try his best to plan in a way where it'll benefit everyone. Especially me. Mememememememememe. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee wtf. And that's what I like about him.

He's just finished his year 1 of masters, and now working. He'll be back for 22 days before flying off to Germany for some student exchange thingie for 6 weeks =( and then after that he'll be back in Malaysia and hopefully, HOPEFULLY, if, IF I ever get accepted by Uni of Melbourne, we'll be flying to Melbourne togetha-getha.

Ok before I go, here's something funny which happened just now.

Do you guys know what mynews.com is? If you don't, go Google it. I'm pretty sure all Malaysians know what it is. You may not have heard about it or you may think that you have not seen it but I'm sure you've seen it just that you've never taken the time to look at its name.

So just now we were having dinner and we were discussing if Bukit Raja's TGV still has 2012 tickets cos the place we went was all sold out. Then I suggested we go to mynews.com, read the newspaper to check if 2012 is shown in Bukit Raja's TGV. And then someone said,

"Huh? How? Here no wifi also!"

WTF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHH.

I've got good news and bad news!

Bad news:

I didn't win the other contest which I joined with my CNY inspired. I won't deny that I was disappointed cos I really did put in a lot of thought in creating that look but oh well, this is only the beginning :) But because of this contest, I've gotten some good news!

Some good news:

1. I won that Halloween contest, mentioned this in my previous post.

2. I just hit 100 subscribers! I seriously never expected to get more than even 20 hahahah.

3. My vanity blog was featured in Tongue in Chic! Ownself google. Actually I didn't really know what it was. I've read about it from places and Aileen mentioned about it once but all these while I thought it's like some kinda shop or something hahah! Nevertheless, happy :) All thanks to Gwen!

4. Ok this is actually not a news but more like something that made me happy. After knowing that I didn't win the contest, I got comments from all these kind people telling me they thought that my entry should have won it and all that great stuff. Which really really really made me very very very happy! In a way, I'd like to thank the girl who put up that contest cos without the contest, I wouldn't have entered and if I didn't enter, I wouldn't have gotten so many nice comments and feedbacks!

Ok that's all. I'm leaving for work now. Might go watch 2012 with my 2 buddies later. Bye.

The Winning

Just a really quick update before I go practice.

Remember this?

Some of you who're my friends on Facebook might have known but to those who haven't, I won the little contest that I joined. It's a an online contest, where I'm supposed to create a Halloween Makeup Look tutorial, no specific theme but I'll have to just create something that I'll wear for Halloween. I wasn't the only winner though, just thought everyone should know. There were 4 winners out of 20+ entries. Ok I know a lot of you want to know what the prize is. Really, there's no need to know cos the prize didn't matter to me at all, what matters is that my effort is paid off!

This is my very first time joining this type of contest and I won. Actually to think about it, this may be the first ever contest that I've ever won. I cannot remember if I've joined any contests before.

Ok I'll tell you the prize anyways.

1 Pop Beauty Lip Lust, 3 NYX eye shadows, 1 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil and 5 Deco Art Nail Polish

Some people may not know what the hell those things are; they're makeup products and some nail products. And I'm so glad to see the prizes that I've won myself cos there're things that I've been wanting! Well, there are also things that I was puzzled to see like the nail products cos if anyone knows me, I hardly do anything to my nails cos it's so short there's nothing much I can do with it. But oh well, I'll figure out what I can do with it. I'm still happy, not just because of the prizes but the fact that I actually won!

I've never expected myself to win cos it was my first contest ever and there were so many great entries out there.

All these only got me thinking a lot and I told Wk,

"I realised that if I really put in effort, there'll sure be good results"

This winning may seem like nothing to some people. True, it's just a small winning but through this winning I discovered that efforts do get paid. It all depends on how much you give out.

And so, I am more determined to practice now. I must get into Uni of Melbourne no matter what happens.

The Time Traveler's Wife (Movie)

So I've finally watched The Time Traveler's Wife and again, I'll have to admit that I totally suck at giving any type of reviews so I'll just put it as simple as it's a great movie which pretty much portrays most, if not everything essential from the book except that, of course, usually people tend to love books over its adaptations, agree? This is definitely not exempted. Still, to me it's a great one.

I even prepared a packet of tissue and not just the normal small packet of face tissue. I brought the big ones, in a big pack. Not on purpose though, I couldn't find any of those small packets in my house so I just grabbed that before leaving the house. It came in handy! It's the pop-up pack kinda tissue where you tear the top of the plastic and pull the tissue out and the next one will come out halfway. I placed it at the handrest in between seats, Esther and I conveniently used the tissue throughout the movie! Hahaha.

To me, the book is a lot more sad. The adaptation is slightly altered, and made to end in a 'happy ending' kinda way. It's actually a lot more tragic in the book and I cried so much harder reading it than watching the movie. Also, I noticed that everything was kind of a rush in the movie but oh well, to make a 500++pages story into a 1.5-2 hours motion picture is definitely not an easy thing! I would say it is quite a well directed movie considering that most of the essential parts in the book are there. Oh. One thing though, I actually expected to see Gomez as a handsome blonde hunk but... he's not haha. Oh oh oh, one more. I was kind of disappointed that they didn't show the scene where an 80++ year old Clare is waiting for Henry who time traveled to the future. I personally think that'd be the perfect way of ending the movie. The ending now is kind of... bleahh. Not bad but because I've read the book, I kinda expected more from it if you know what I mean.

Anyway, to me, I love the movie but I absolutely love the book more.

Ok before clicking 'Publish Post', just wanna show you all my Chinese New Year inspired makeup look.


More pictures on the other blog cos I know I look kinda scary but rest assured I'm not crazy, this is just an entry for a little online contest.

Ok bye!

The Time Traveler's Wife

The light is changing. Clare stirs, turns toward me, onto her side. I study her face. There are a few faint lines, at the corners of her eyes and mouth, that are the merest suggestion of the beginnings of Clare's face in middle age. I will never see that face of hers, and I regret it bitterly, the face with wich Clare will go on without me, which will never be kissed by me, which will belong to a world that I won't know, except as a memory of Clare's, relegated finally to a definite past.



Reading that part immediately broke me into tears. And not just getting teary and sniffy, I was crying as if I've lost someone or something I adore the most. Also, Henry's letter to Clare where he mentioned how he's seen her in the future when she was an old woman. Omg everything is so beautiful but sad at the same time!

In the early part of this book I wasn't as intrigued cos to me it was just some normal love story going on except that it has a little bit of ridiculous thing which is how it is possible that someone time travels. As I read on I realised it doesn't matter anymore, cos what's more interesting is what happens when he time travels.

I suck at giving reviews but I have to say, this book is very well written. The beginning didn't bore me as much as Life of Pi did but both books are great to me in a different way. Life of Pi is an inspiring book talking about life, The Time Traveler's Wife is a book that breaks your heart and at the same time show you how love can be so beautiful.

Aaaaah wanna watch the movie! I hope it does the book justice.

Crap. My eyes are swollen from all that crying last night.

102 More Days Till I Call It A Year!

I can't believe it! It has been about 9 months since I started doing Project 365! I'm left with only 101 days and it's officially something I started off a year ago! Time flies or what!

I got kinda lazy to edit and all so, it has been 20 days since the last one. Crazy.

#244 - No I didn't get punched in the eye it's just me experimenting with makeup.


#245 - I helped my sister to straighten her hair with my straightening iron.


#246 - Played with makeup again.


#247 - I love this day's makeup look!


#248 - Greenbox =)


#249 - I was looking at MAC's website and decided to draw this thing they have.


#250 - Makeup day.


#251 - Lalala.


#252 - You can't tell from this picture but in the unedited one, my skin looked super clear! Which I am so happy about cos my skin has never been so clear for the longest time. All the religious cleansing, toning, moisturizing, mask-ing and exfoliating, all the extra 15 minutes spent every night and day was worth it! Oh except for my chin, the scars are still quite obvious so that's why I cut it off hahaha.


#253 - Another boring day. Everytime you see a picture of my face, it means that day's boring and there's nothing much to show but my uninteresting face.


#254 - My peacock inspired look haha.


#255 - I love rainbows colours!


#256 - My favourite eyeshadow so far.


#257 - How I look like when I sing.


#258 - Makeup day.


#259 - If you read my post, I've mentioned this day before. The day I went out with the people who teach in the same music centre as I do, the day I got called cool.


#260 - Another boring day with a picture of me


#261 - Cos I've never posted printscreen pictures of us for quite some time already =)


#262 - I love Japanese snacks! That Fran Whipps is the awesomest thing everrrr!


#263 - Was experimenting with makeup. Expect some inspired look soon :)

Ok done. Practice time.
