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!

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.

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.

[Video's up!]

I seriously don't know what's wrong with me. All of a sudden I am so obsessed with makeup and videos and... I should really be practising!!!

Ok whatever la. I wasted my time on it so I really hope ya'll will watch it. Pretty please? *begs*

Sneak preview! cos video still needs to be edited in YouTube and I really have to sleep now so I'll upload the video tomorrow when I'm done. So IF there's anyone wanting to watch the boring video, come back in the morning. Oh wait... scratch that. Come back in the afternoon cos I am usually not awake before 11am.

bb

Its only 10.40 and I am awake because there's some serious drilling going on in my house. Dad asked some men to fix the air conditioner and they're drilling the walls. And it totally woke me up. Now I am cranky and super irritated.

=(

Goodbye Samuel!

#182 - Makeup on that day. Will show a clearer picture another time.

#183 - My sister being proud of her fat arse.

#184 - The day I got a hair cut and dyed it.

#185 - Natural-looking makeup! Or is it called Neutral makeup? Whatever.

#186 - Met up with Esther and Maggie who's back for a week from Melbourne, at Kimgary. That's their very filling Ice Blended Milo. Drink that and it'll last you for one whole day.

#187 - YAY!!!! Remember my encounter with a freakin' spider in my room? I came back one day and saw a dead thing on the floor in my room and when I went near it, I realised it was that stupid spider! I know it looks like a cockroach's legs but really, it's that stupid spider. Trust me, it was THAT huge!

Ever since the freakin' spider appeared and disappeared and reappeared a few times and me always not being able to kill it everytime I see it, I've been really restless everytime I sleep. I get the usual paranoia that the spider would come on top of me and all that shit.

Guess who did the gread deed for me by killing it!

M-Killer!

You know who's M-Killer?

MY MOTHER.

Ok that name was totally created by my father. Everytime my mom comes back from work, she'll always hold her trusty racket insect zapper into her own and our rooms to zap mosquitoes. My house is right next to a bush so we get lots of mosquitoes everyday. And because she knows all of us are really lazy to even move our asses to kill those mosquitoes, she'll do it for us. Every single day, never once failed.

And that's how the name M-Killer came. Mosquito Killer!

#188 - Did a little shopping for some hair products. Bought a volumising hairspray, clay and a round brush. Will talk about this some other time.

#189 - I'm a vainpot 24/7

#190 - Had a farewell gathering for Samuel. Dinner at Sushi Zanmai then dessert at Delicious, Midvalley. He's leaving for his Masters in Piano Accompaniment in the University of Birmingham this Saturday.

More pictures on that gathering. It wasn't just a farewell gathering, more like a meetup and also to celebrate people whose birthdays are in September and they are Chooi Yin, Samuel and Cat. Yes, ALL of them except for me boohoo.

My yummy Ebidon! mmmm...


A close-up of my Ebidon which later went into my tummy.


Sampat Samuel. Omg alliterations! That proves how much the word 'sampat' is meant for him wtf.


Cat who's already digging in impatiently. She's constantly hungry haha.


A boring picture of Chooi Yin and Sam.


A more interesting picture of Chooi Yin and Sam. Seriously, don't everyone just love candid shots? =D

*running for life from Chooi Yin who's chasing after me with a knife in her hand.

Haha. Kidding.

We adjourned to Delicious for dessert after having enough of green tea.

Carrot Cake. Honestly, MY version of carrot cake is so much better than this! Totally disappointed. The cream cheese was too much and too thick, not to mention, too sweet as well. The cake was too dry and too sweet too. Ugh. I picked it cos it looked so lovely when I first saw it. Who knew it tastes like crap?


This one here is the total opposite! Looks exactly like crap but tastes SOOOOO GOOOD omg. Its the Classic Chocolate Cake, coated with warm chocolate sauce topped with ice cream. Warm+cold+chocolate=AWESOMENESS. The whole thing was sweet alright, but because it's so chocolate-y, the sweetness was sorta tamed down so it wasn't THAT sweet actually.


A last also group picture of us taken by the lousy waitress whose hands couldn't stop shaking it seems. Other than it being blur, I like this picture anyway. The combination of everything. The colour of our clothes, our smiles and the environment. Very harmonious.

Ok gotta go practice now.

Tick Tock

"You're such a beauty to look at"

And that totally made my day =)

I'm having velcro rollers all over the crown of my head and am waiting for time to pass. Still thinking if I should wear this long spaghetti top with my stirrup tights, or something else.

What a bimbo-ish entry hahahah.
