All That Crap

2011, bring it on!

2011-01-03T12:10:00.003+07:00

So we're all done for 2010. What a year that was. It's pretty much a clash of the good and the bad, but I'm done listing for 2010.

Instead, I'll try and focus on the road ahead. I am gonna inaccurately rate the excitement of the event based on the exclamation marks.

- The moments building up to the big move out *sobs*. At times it feels very surreal. It's pretty hard absorbing that this is ACTUALLY HAPPENING!

- Na's coming back for the wedding!!!

- The wedding in January

can you say fuck my bloody gigantic arm

- The Lim's sister short trip after it!!!!!

- Our first CNY as a couple!

- The honeymoon in February!!!!!!!!

- The big life decision afterwards. Sian.

- Pink's wedding sometime this year!!! I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but it is bound to happen this year anyway! lol

I am praying hard for more and more trips with friends and family amithabaaaa.

SO, have a good one everyone! :)

Things I learn about Taiwan

2010-12-22T11:09:00.005+07:00

1. They're big on pets.

Everywhere we walked, people carrying pets everywhere, dotting it, dressing it in cute outfits, pushing it inside a baby pram, wiping its mouth and basically just love their pets so crazy much.

The guide said that it's because living costs are too big so they opt for pets instead of having kids wtf. Can like that? cause I've never like pets so I can't see the connection. Well, ppl's life choices I cannot intefere then how.

Ok I also sayang petduck

But really though, we're there for like 5 days and only spotted 3 pregnant ladies and like probably 10 young mothers with kids?

2. They're bigger on night markets

Cheap to expensive fashion. Eyelash bars. Footwear. Bags and purses. Leggings. Eyewear. Knick-knacks and so on! They have it all there.

Just row and row of mini stalls spread out in the entire street selling whateveryounameittheyhaveitok.

Anyway, sorry not a lot of pics. Priorities called for full attention on shopping.

3. They're BIGGEST on make up products.

I SWEAR I TEARED AND WHIMPERED AND FELT SO LOST THEN DIED THEN UNDIED there.

OH NO they don't!
they just have to have a special booth dedicated for bb cream I die now ok

Like seriously, not only do they sell GAZILLION beautycare in their drugstore, COSMED SASA AND MARIEDAFANG something I forgot the names, BUT THEY ARE SO FRIGGIN CHEAP!

Well, cheaper compared to here anyway. or maybe not, I DONT KNOW I CAN'T THINK WITH THIS MANY MAKE UP STUFF AROUND! T__T

Anyway, loots will be in separate post. Not because they are too much, this post is starting to get very heavy!

4. SUPER HEAVY FROLICKING FOOD PORNS

Okay how do I even start on the craziness of food glorious food so many food oh so tasty I gotta have some of that food but NOOO I'm on a diet BUT oh SO MUCH food!

Bread baked inside a cavelike stove, sausage to stuff yourself silly, thick layers of fatness in your pork, tomatoes dipped in sweet syrup, prata roasts using the back of the pan, the softest mochi, OMYGOD WILL IT EVER STOP?!!

Just a few pics to keep you going

But because I'm forever on a diet, so I keep eating to a minimal. Sux2bme.

5. Temples everywhere.

To cater to the hundred thousand Chinese Buddhist souls. Several churches. Never saw a mosque.

6. Taipei's shopping mall - Taipei101- sucks.

They carry real high brands there. Dior, Versace, Gucci, Channel etc etc and leaves nothing for smart( actually cheap) shoppers like me!

Wasted halfday there everyone sulked cause cannot shop.

Dior walt disney shoes

There's this mall though in GaoXiong, called " Dream Mall", which have wider range of medium line of brands. But I DID NOT SHOP AS MUCH because I was saving my shopping budget for Taipei101 the next day fuckmylife.

7. BIG FRUITS

8. Hello my hair is Maylee!

My hair was just so pretty there serious!

my stupid zit just had to follow me everywhere

In Medan, my hair is just ugg'lee fml, except when I go to the saloon which is a rare occurrence.

So I guess that's it! Several things that I could recall from the Taiwan trip.

Hello from the grave

2010-11-09T11:15:00.004+07:00

I don't know what happened to life. I mean, everything used to be so much bearable and easy. And now everything is just fucked.

I partly blame the wedding preparations that have been building up. And I have to blame the fact that it's built up to a pile of mess on myself. Blah.

We had our prewed outdoor photoshoot taken, which was very fun. Considering that prewed photoshoot is a big chunk of a wedding prep, I can heave a sigh of relief for it's been done and taken care of.

We went out of town to had the pics taken, and we're beyond exhausted. But i guess it's worth it, we're pretty happy with the results.

Then, there's the indoor photoshoot in the next two weeks which will take place in the new house. The photoshoot schedule clashes with the finishing of the house itself, so that's another major headache.

I seriously think I've aged doubled in the year 2010. I'm happy with the many traveling opportunities that I've had this year and very looking forward to another trip with the company in December.

But at the same time, I just feel like too much has happened and most of them just cornered me to the wall of unending problems fml.

I wish for a lot of things to fall to the right places, but even that is wishing and hoping for too much. It's like I'm trying to steady the giant collapsing mess using all body parts and still more waves of troubles are heading my way.

I really hate waking up to yet another issue to tackle or another news of " fuck, now what?".

Will it ever end?

On top of that, I'm fat.

Fuckthisshit.

Unhealthy Obsessions

2010-09-20T14:15:00.003+07:00

The title is supposed to a pun, as I'm gonna babble about my unhealthy obsessions in health related field. geddit geddit? hehe.

Let's commence:

#1. Dental.

Who isn't a bit obsessed with dental health while dreading it all at the same time really? When I was a kid I had the luck to experience 5 years of constant dental health problem. Well, not constant really, it was excruciating the first 2 years then I kinda dealt with another 3 years of unpleasant sensation on the left part of my lower jaw.

It started as a minor crack from chewing one too many gummy candy and next thing you know, that minor crack was actually the mother of THE root canal disease.

Be thankful for this pic, you have no idea of other gruesome pics I encountered across google image

I kept the fuckingpain to myself cause back then it seemed more logical to endure the pain for another day rather than spent 1 hour in a dentist seat.

But another day turned to 5 fuckingyears and a subconscious obsession lol wtf.

Subconscious because I always have a dental related dream now and then! The dream is either one of the following:
- I lose at least a front tooth accompanied with the urgency to attend class or public events in the dream wtf.
- My rotten tooth stinks up the whole room and everyone's looking at me knowingly.
- That one rotten tooth is at least 5cms long and looks gorily yellow/gooey green.

Sometimes the dream consists of all three and more fml.

I also like to discuss everything dental with ppl who have the problem or the time to entertain me wtf.

Anyway, I got the stupid tooth pulled out one evening and I sobbed before, during and after costing my mom her self-worth of having a coward for a 17 yr old daughter.

I later learned that if only I had the courage to get it fix right away, I didn't have to lose a perfectly good tooth. Okay not that perfect, but I'm toothless right and left now. At the back thankfully!

And also I didn't have to have a crazy tooth obsession.

#2. Sleep disorder.

I'm a light sleeper and an on&off insomniac. They're two different things.

A light sleeper is a person who's doomed to wake up due to his/her environmental changes, like sounds, lights, tremors, smells, temperature and so on.

An insomniac is a person with difficulty in falling asleep.

My ability to imagine burglars, ghosts and whatnots also is not helping me very much.

With all three combined, I'm often zombified fml.

When the Lims was holidaying at Penang earlier this year, I was once faced with two options:
1. Sleep together with my snoring siblings
2. Sleep alone

Those two rooms are located at each end of the apartment.

What happened that night was :
I chose to sleep with the groups only to walk out 5 mins later thinking " okay the snoring is impossible" , then the next 5 mins after trying to sleep alone I'd go" okay fuck this shit, the sound is less scary than sleeping alone"

And that happened for like 2 hours I walked back and forth for like the total of 5 times. Such is my dumb life.

So with having a lot of idle times lying on the bed, I have googled a LOT of sleeping disorder articles and reading through them is really really amusing.

I once tried to convince Hai he has sleep apnea because his snoring is sporadic lol, that didn't go well.

#3. Weight problem.

Now, jeng jeng jeng... this is my ultimate obsession. Don't even get me started as this post will have no end!

All I know is all mirrors lie and ppl too, most of the time. Except when they say you're fatter THEN they're telling the truth!

This obsession has started since high school and it lasts well. So well I think I should start my own fat blog!

But you know who should start a fat blog? Jennifer Hudson!

I'm sure the cover was majorly touched but seriously she did lose SUPERMASSIVELOTS of weight.

She's doing the weight watcher thing. And maybe the tragedy that went on in her life did a lot on her weight too.. I mean, who wouldn't? Mom, sister and niece murdered by a bro in law kind of stuff, yikes.

BUT GOOD FOR HER!! I mean, her weight lost. Not the freaktragedy.

I totally believe that losing weight is one of a person's ultimate achievements. Right on top with winning the Nobel Prize and finding cure for cancer. Sorry cant help it.

I'll stop here now.

Love,
FatFreak

About him

2010-07-30T10:45:00.003+07:00

This is not really a birthday wish, but more like a ..urmmm, a dedication!

o hai Hai!

Somewhat 12 years ago, when I still worked at the internet rental place, he came once. Actually friends loved coming to the place and spent time chatting, renting service and such lar. But I particularly remember, he came once and we spent half the day in front of a computer, talking and laughing.

I also remember, we shared a chair. It was the only good chair in the place, the one my boss sat when he’s around and it had a cushion. There were many other stools around the place, but we shared that chair cause we’re quite buddies that way back in high school.

Btw, he can’t remember that moment despite me convincing him for the life of me that it did happen. It’s not something I dreamt up ok fml.

Fast forward to present, it’s pretty hard to believe that that boy I once shared a seat with will be the guy I’m gonna share a life with. HE JUST PROPOSED OFFICIALLY LASTNIGHT OK THX! How funny is life seriously.

Being a girl then, a woman now and a person all my life lol wtf, I think I always have a pretty good idea of what life holds in store for me. Well, actually I still know what my life is going to be like, but analyzing it all, it’s just ASDFJPHHHSSZZZT *brain explodes* you know what I mean?

Somewhat 2 years ago, I had the right mind to agree to be in a relationship with him and well, for once my decision serves me well hahahaha.

Hai is a * pause for 10mins*, I can’t really find an exact word to define him. But all my life knowing him ( all my highschool life and our dating life), he’s really your average typical man! Lol, I hope that doesn’t come out wrong.

But really though, he’s not the type to engage in supersmart conversation, he’s all for physical looks in women *rolleyes*, he loves fart jokes, he’s okay-generous, just-the-right-amount of loving and he’s your well-rounded family guy, a normal boyfriend.

Yet in all his good-self and common sense, he’s become someone to neutralize all my bullshit and psycho thinking. In being his ordinary kind and generous self, he’s taken me off my high horse and made me take off my cloak of obnoxiousness. I mean, okay let’s face it, I have since long established and accepted the fact that maybe I’m not really a supergreat bighearted person. I can be an obnoxious bitch sometimes, okay, most of the times.

But you see, that’s what I’m talking about. I can tolerate myself better when I’m with him. I can reflect to his daily normal kindness and just be. I can has happy! Lol.

I always secretly think that he’s my daily doctor, cause he’s cured me and he still does. I don’t see reasons to be angry all the time thinking that shit will hit the fan. I don’t have to sit my frustration out staring at the wall. I no longer have to fight life with cynical thoughts ALL the time. I mean, It’s not that I’m suicidal or what but we all have our Iwant2withdrawfromtheworldjustshutthefuckup moments.

So you see, have I made my point that he’s just the perfect dose of normalcy to me?
And who wants to be special right?? Special is sometimes over-rated and special doesn’t last. Really, special can shove itself up its butt and go out the door in its special style and I couldn’t care less.

So, to commemorate his birthday and *clearthroats* our official engagement, haha; I’m writing this to celebrate this SPECIAL DAY, get it done with, so we can have the rest of our ordinary life together.

Okay, CHEERS! :D

Universal Studio Singapore

2010-06-30T16:20:00.008+07:00

Hello, I'm going to flood you with 40+ pics of me and Hai's family holiday at Penang and Singapore, so photos will commence in T minus 3 seconds.

Anyway, this holiday was quite unexpected because Hai was supposed to get his yearly medical check-up at Penang when he thought hmm why not check out some cheap fares to Singapore, so that's the story of how I ended up holidaying with his family.

First thing first, food porn!

#1. Fried Meat Roll @ Penang Prangin Mall-Komtar.
I know my sisters will "GYAA!" over this :D

#2. This is the heavenly tom yum maggee with fried fish. Yums!
More screaming from my sisters I bet! Haha.

While I was in Penang, I missed my sisters quite a lot. Because we just went there last Feb, so a lot of flashbacks lar. And no, I wasn't being sentimental since Na is farrr way back in Canada so we cannot always go to Penang all the time.

#3. I can has pretty nails with 3d stickers.
Cheap alternative to getting your nails done professionally.

#4. Long story short, we have arrived at Singapore!

The book in my armpit is "The Lovely Bones". The book is quite pointless, don't want to give spoilers lar; but it's like if you watch porn, you will not leave the room relieved cause no climax wtf. *throws book to bin*

I thought Changi airport is supposed to be super wahh, but actually nothing that impressive lor, or maybe we arrived at the cheap fares terminal.

By the way, I ALMOST lost my camera in the airport's toilet. Lucky I had the urge to take pictures then I rushed back and thank god the toilet was occupied by some white girl. * very politically incorrect pardon me*

#5. We went to Orchard and I bought one thing that I could afford after the currency shock.
No longer converting to Ringgit mah. Wafer Ice cream is $1

#6. Then camwhore camwhore.
That's his parents and lil sister

Hai's parents are like the ones that emerge from Hongkong TVB family drama. They are very kind and super understanding ones. Unlike my parents who emerge from Indo sinetron lol fml. My parents are more like the boiling-mad-yelling-all-the-time type. Not that they're not good buy aiyahh, just very different!

#7. A nice picture of us.

#8. But this is actually us in real life.

Very phaiseh we couplecamwhore while his parents watched from afar.

#9. Let's get relevant with the title of this post.
I HAS ARRIVED @ Universal Studio Singapore.

Universal Studio is basically a venue where they have a lot of fake buildings and a lot of stores with different themes ( eg. Holywood, Chinatown, Shrek, Madagascar etc etc). So what we did was look around took pictures and bought stuff.

#10. Like this lar kira-kira. Left right are stores and fake buildings

#11. Lol dragged his mom to camwhore.

#12. Can drag his siblings to camwhore too.

Hai's family so rarely want to take pictures. Most of the time must drag them, I mean, I just volunteer.

#13. I'd like to thank my boss for making me Best Employee. *sniff touched*

#14. So cheesy fufufu

#15. Hai very the camwhore too!

#16. We're Bella Swans of the world, Gyaa!
Except this is a dracula, that means we're Minas.

#17. Maryln Monroe fail.

#18. So colorful!

#18. This is the alley to the 3D studio. It's filled with posters of old flicks.

#19. Vertigo from 1960s

#20. Hai dear, come take a break and eat the sandwich I packed you for lunch and drink your coffee from the flask.

#21. *nag nag whine whine* "I don't get men!" then go write in a column.
The steps looking very Carrie-esque imo.

#22. This is me giving fart to American's jurisdictional system.
I don't even know what that means.

#23. I can stop a taxi by flashing my unexposed thigh. Superpower.

#24. Then we took the taxi and arrived at the Egyptian theme place.
We also took a high- speed tunnel roller coaster here! VERY FUN!

#25. This also tells you what year Hai was born in.

#26. Gave up Anubis for Jurassic Park

#27. "What's behind you?!" pose

#28. Shrek babies!

#29. Donk kay

#30. Sayang donkey

#31. Pink once said " If ppl wearing a mask or 3D glasses surething camwhore"
True that.

Anyway, I didn't enjoy the Shrek 3D. I don't really like Shrek, except the 1st one. The 2nd one okay, but the 3rd one was really painful to watch, so I skipped the Shrek ever after something altogether.

#32. Shrek's house

#33. Knockknock Ogre pls stop agreeing to more Shrek movies.

#34. The one and only pic of us.
"Ma-duh-gast-tcar" is how you say "Madagascar" with a lisp.

#35. A police car in front of an American diner.

#36. Mieke Amalia and Tora Sudiro stalked us there.

#37. So we left and went to Underwater world at other part of Sentosa.
Ticket was $23/ adult. * MAD Grrrr!!!*

Underwater world was such a waste of money seriously. The last time I went was 199x (forgot) and nothing has changed! I mean, the sea creatures are still awesome, but it's way overpriced. Just a stupid two rounds of oohh aah over dugong and some bawals.

Then we went for dinner and watched the Songs of the Sea/ the musical fountain. Ooohh Ahh somemore and went home. No pics cause battery died liao.

#38. Someone is wearing new shoes fufufu.

#39. A soft toy for Derrick.

#40. And one for moi.

Hai had to satisfy his desire of being able to say he's bought something cuddly for me, rolleyes lar but thanks hehe.

It was my idea that giving Derrick something to hold and sayang, so that he can have some compassion lol wtf.
It's not like he's barbaric , but it's just nice to see him growing fond of something so when he looks back one day to his childhood he has a memorable attachment, dunno what I'm saying. Too much toystory3.

#41. He seems to like it and carries it everywhere, for 2 days.
We can't decide if it's named Mr. Bear, Teddy or Beary, lol last one is from my mom.

If you stare long enough,you'll see that Beary and Derrick look almost alike lor HUAHUFAHUSA *wipetears*. He's the cutest thing and can sing "headshoulderknessandtoes" song complete with movement okay. Barely 2 yo.

#42. But more importantly, Beary is also his object of torture/ smackdown buddy.
Fuckbearyslife.

#43. So that's all about Singapore and some random stuff. :)
Like the sailors at Clark Quay's river-show on our last day, I wave byebye!

Once upon a make-up haul

2010-06-04T14:39:00.006+07:00

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was obsessed with buying cosmetics and a fairy godmother (aka a student's mom) who was everybit the fairy godmother herself wtf dunno what to write.

One day, the fairy godmother saw that this obsessed-ridden girl donning quite decent eye make up and decided to give her a gift. Also, because the girl has been quite a good teacher I think.

Presenting, the gift!!!

My hand shook opening this.

Raphaei is a make-up line from Kanebo, I think. Too lazy to search. But their skincare is somehow related so I think must be from the same company.

Inside were :

an eyeshadow palette

a lip palette

and a lipliner.

She also gave me :

2 Testim'o Lipstick

On top of this, actually the mom also gave me a watch. Too generous T___T . No picture because don't want to seem like a brag fufu.

2 Kate eyepalettes

Once upon a time too! this girl placed an order via facebook sellers and the package arrived yesterday!

LA Girl Nail builder
Milani Runway eyes , HAHA I typed Runaway eyes # Haute Couture
Milani Glimmer Stripes #somethingberry
Milani Sunset Duo # Suncity
LA Colors #Ocean Breeze
Nyx cream blush #Rouge

And the girl and her stuff lived happily ever after the end.

10 Reasons I've been away

2010-06-01T09:35:00.006+07:00

1. I'm not as camwhore as before. And being a person with short-attention spam, I LOVE a good blog with 10-12 words and with gazillion pics scattered and plastered everywhere. So, lacking the pictures , I lack the spirit to blog/ post.

I just contradicted myself didnt I. That's me and 1/2 of Min photobombing me.

Although now and then I do want to type away and just write whats on my mind and rambling on like I'm doing exactly at this moment, but Gah! I don't know why usually I just press the "backspace"button.

2. My portable hard-disk died on me. I rushed to the computer place and begged them bigwet eyes to help me save all my life uhmm..virtual possession.

What's inside the hard drive was actually some folders labeled " make up", " Korean MV", " Music". The only decent folder is " Work" and God knows what's in there. Quite shy for being dramatic and pushy, the guy was so nice lor fhl.

Anyway, it's all saved but missing a cable or two and is still being fixed wtf. So, more the reason of less blogging with all my pictures inside.

3. Korean MV download.

I like using "Opera" browser although it's quite shitty but I REALLY LIKE watching the transfer bar.

And I super LOVE Mediafire file hosting. It's free, allows parallel download and resume-able somemore OMG! How these ppl make money I don't know.

I always leave my computer on after work and let the Auto Genius Shutdown does its charm, but someone always switches off the UPS and ruins my happiness fuckthisshit.

So now, I use my dustbin to cover the UPS blinking light and pray everytime I leave work no one comes and fusses with my happiness.

4. Work. I do work too you know. Despite very lousy and unreliable, I try to finish my work on time. Not always, but most of the time.

5. Finding teaching material. I just type " soal latihan bahasa inggris kelas 7" and SO MANY results. Teaching made easy. Then I got lost in the sea of worksheets and quizzes, it's all I do almost everyday.

6. Bridesnanny.

7. Blogwalking. Very chronic blogwalking. Up to 20 visits to various blogs all over the world per day.

8. Facebooking. OMG what has Facebook done to me you have no idea. It's like my personal shopping mall. Crowded and full of choices. Die.

However, since I know that their privacy sucks, I've deleted a lot of my picture albums there leaving only a few memorable ones behind. And I've stopped approving requests. And I've hidden some ppl.

I think the "Hide" features on Facebook is such a bliss lor. OMG some ppl really make me sick to the core. *shudder and puke*

9. Laziness

10. Laziness

So, there's 10 whys for you.

Behind the scene :p

2010-04-26T14:41:00.003+07:00

The Lims went for a family photoshoot early this month and we surely had a blast during the session.

All the pictures are taken by Adejo, an amazing photographer and more importantly, a very good friend to all of us.

Anyway, I'll be posting some behind the scene of what girls enjoy the most, photoshoot or not, and that is MAKE UP SESSION! :D

Please excuse the bra straps *ehem*
Jumbo Eye Pencil from Nyx in Milk is a good base.

My fave revlon cream eye-shadow!

My hand like pro wtf lol.

Pretending being candid muahaha.

All of us looking PRETTY!

with the boy.

So that's all for the make-up related photos :D. So fun!

Top 5 make up products

2010-04-19T13:42:00.002+07:00

They are in random order, but anyway these are my take on 5 best make up products.

#1. Lancome Bi-facil toner

" What water can't clean, toner will" is something I learned back then. So, after years of using various brands of toner, I have to say that Lancome Bi-facil is one toner that really picks up leftover of dirt and oil after I clean my face.

I used to think that toner is such a waste of time since my cotton pad is just as clean as new after each usage, but with Bi-facil, I'm impressed with the further cleaning my face receives! Love!

#2 Revlon cream eyeshadow

I don't own that many cream eyeshadow, but that's not the reason why I've hit pan with this palette. Its texture is smooth and have quite amazing staying power in comparison with other cream eyeshadow such as e.l.f. For Idr 90K, I only wish they have wider range of color choice.

#3. "Simple" eye make-up remover

I hate the idea of oily eye make-up remover so "Simple" eye make-up remover is the perfect choice for me. So cheap! so light! fragrance free too! and most importantly, it does have the removing effect that you never think this "fresh"water can have. On my 2nd bottle now :D

#4. Bloop de Paris - Ice scrub

mine is "grape" instead of "rose"
and it's purple instead of red -_-

I'm quite surprised I can't find a decent commercial picture of the ice scrub ( thus using other ppl's watermarked pic), I guess it isn't a very popular line? Such a shame.

It might not for everyone, but this Ice scrub works really well for me. For around RM30, this scrub is very easy to use. It smells nice and has this cooling effect that I can really appreciate after a long hot day. It leaves my skin jelly-like, quite significantly clean and smells of grape!

#5 Annabelle Skin True- concealer

If there's one thing I can't live without, it's most definitely a concealer.I've started using concealer long before I started using any other make up product. Well, all thanks to my hideous under eye dark circle.

Anyway, this Canadian product is quite amazing in concealing and not leaving streaks or getting all oily after long use! I rarely use the white though and it can be pretty chalky/balky due to the lack of warm fingers touching it lol, but the rest of the wheel is "not a penny wasted"!

So, that's it! My top 5 make up products and this post is a result of writing for Bridesnanny too much I'm beginning to sound like a random person writing a random beauty column.

To Phuket!

2010-03-17T13:02:00.002+07:00

We won! :D

Nyx <3

2010-01-04T13:26:00.010+07:00

Hello everyone, how was your new year?

Well, mine was quite fun and Aceh is so much better than I had expected. Although frankly speaking, I didn't expect anything at all. Anyway, the city is clean and breezy, so much better in a way than Medan; okay but that's a post for another day.

I've been wanting to post on my Nyx products, so here goes!

I put the price in US Dollar from the official website and also in Indonesian Rupiah, which I quote from a Facebook seller ( not me).

The 5 color palette - Caribbean collection
$8 / Idr 130.000

The 10 color palette- The Runway collection
$9/ Idr 130.000

I can't really comment on the price in Idr because well, that is roughly how much nyx is retailed online here.

I just know that I'm thankful I didn't have to pay that kind of money ( I didn't pay anything at all infact!! thanks again Jeff) muahaha.

The colors are supposed to be very pigmented or so I read on the review. I couldn't bring myself to swatch it because they are just too pretty!! Same goes for the lip palette!

Luscious Lip Palette
$7/ Idr 120.000

# medium
$5/Idr 80.000

I also read that Nyx concealer in a jar is one of 2009 best beauty products! Concealer is one thing I can't live without so I am definitely buying another one of this.

Especially since the #medium color that I got is almost 2 shades darker than the color that I want. So I might be getting #light next time.

I like that the texture is smooth without being too oily.

Upper swatch is the concealer and the below one is this :

Mosaic Powder Blush # love
$ 8.5/ Idr 110.000

The surface of the blush is a bit glittery but when put on face they seem to vanish, which is great. I dread glitter somehow and quite good choice on the color * pat self on the shoulder*

When I knew Jeff is bringing these home, I knew I must be careful with just choosing one of each and Nyx carries quite wide range of shades and colors fml. I think I must have spent at least 2 days deciding on the colors.

Moving on,

Jumbo Eye Pencil
$3.50/ Idr 60.000

The review on this is all the rave and I can see why!! The colors work really well on the eyes. It sticks like cream eyeshadow and base altogether. They work great combined with other eyeshadow, making the colors more vibrant.

Another must have item from Nyx is definitely the round lipstick. I bought them separately as I didn't want to seem so bueh phai seh.

A lot says that this is comparable to MAC or other high brand lipstick.

Round Lipstick
$3.50/Idr 35.000-40.000

swatch

I chose the popular colors for their light/nude line. The texture is quite awesome, staying power is average but the color is LOVE.

I like #Circe the best because it doesn't make me look as ill as #Rea does.
#Fig is of a more pinkish shade, which is interesting as I didn't own any pink color lipstick.
#B52 is a more common light red shade that will match any skin tone.

So, there you have it. I think given the price in Idr, I will still purchase it nonetheless.

You know, now that I blog for beauty purpose, I'm finding that my blogging will has been resurrected immensely. Yay to that!

fuck my jaw T_T

My 2009

2009-12-24T15:27:00.005+07:00

I think this has been a good year overall. Well, actually it's a mix of crappy and happy 12 months. It doesn't really balanced out all that well, but I'm hopeful for a better year.

Some highlights of 2009:

Our first trip ever! :)

I am a very lucky girl. For him , to put up with my daily shit, let's just say I really have to hand it to him cause I can be a real throw off most of the time. So, thank you for a wonderful year <3!

More trip with the group :D !!!

fufu island

Wow, when I looked back I actually hung out A LOT with friends. There were plenty of fun times I couldn't really mention or post them here, since each occasion is just as fun.

I remember my birthday, they trashed me good.

Then Angelica's birthday, where she almost died cause we pushed her to the pool. She fought back and she almost knocked her head to the edge of the rock. That was some scary shit!

and then the twins', where we posted up banners. And so many others.

We had a mad BBQ small party.

We had real parties.

Just so many more. I guess it really has been a good year.

Then Derrick turned a year old.

My family remain the closest thing to my heart and I miss hanging out with them now and then. But we're meeting up very soon next February ALL FOUR OF US SO YAY!!

isn't she lovely??!

And the memorable surprise visit from my cousins, Jeff and Harry.

And I had another blog with Pink! Take a chic pill

She has continued to be a very very dear friend. She proves to be one person who is always there and she is just ...

awesome. LOL!

I happen to also have another bridal blog with 2 other friends.

www.bridesnanny.com

It's something relatively new , but I put a lot of effort, time and hard work into it. I'm not sure how much money I can get in the end, but to begin with the website didn't require a lot.

So, I'm supposed to write wedding related stuff and basically urmm.. almost everything. But each of us contributes a lot and this is something passionate for all of us at Bridesnanny. So DO SUPPORT!!

Cousin visit / Cheap products

2009-12-16T10:34:00.006+07:00

My cousins are not cheap products. Don't mind the title of this post hahahaha. They are, on the contrary, not cheap at all.

Harry and Jeff went all the way back from the States and landed here in Medan!

Jeff stayed at the Marriott Hotel and got himself a very good deal out of it!

We took advantage of it by taking Derrick to the swimming pool. This is because he's too good for public pool hahahha.

He's growing out of his swimming suit.
Every parents' proudest moment

I don't know why his face is stern like this when he's actually enjoying it lol, little bugger.

one more cute face for you

Needless to say, we were also spoiled with the leisure of the 5 star hotel.

Lazying on the pool side

Well anyway, I have posted like tons of pictures of the weekend over at facebook and I'm sooo lazy to repost them here.

Oh except this one,

All in all, it's a very very good weekend. We also had buffet afterwards on Jeff's expense which made it double-good.

One of the best parts of having a cousin visits you, besides crashing his hotel, having buffet he paid for, his companion etc etc IS... jeng jeng jeng

Nyx cosmetics!!!!

Praise Jeff for this, thank you thank you thank you. I love this heaps and I'm sure Cin does too when she got her share * squeallllll!!!!*

I started out playing with cheap cosmetics and actually I am still using tons of cheap products, because I am far from expert when it comes to make up.

So here are some reviews of cheap brand that I have.

One of the many cheap products that is easily available here is Oriflame. Oriflame quality is crap, and these are the few craps that I got recently.

Lipliner, browliner, lipgloss & powerlash mascara

swatch

Trying the lipliner out.

It's so hard to wear red lipstick and still look decent.

The moment I got my oriflame stuff I always swear NEVER AGAIN, but then I will always end buying up the product again next month fml dunno why like det maybe because I'm so cheap too.

Same thing goes for this product.

This is from their Giordani Line. The most atas line they have, but even this one fails majorly. Too shimmery. You'll end up all discoball-y.

I should know better now and restrain myself from getting anymore of Oriflame stuff.

Elf is also very very affordable. More so than Oriflame. But the quality doesn't suck as much.

# Ash & # Midnight

I'm not too crazy about the liner. They are just okay. I'm starting to believe that eyeliner is one thing you need to invest on.

# Pecan butter cream eyeshadow

This is pretty good! I'm excited to try the eyeshadow on. Haven't had the chance to though.

The blush is definitely good. I'm loving it!!

Now, Eyeko is also another product that is not that expensive and it's so cute!

Limited eyeshadow & Rapsberry fat lipbalm

swatch

The eyeshadow isn't very pigmented which is quite a disappointment, but the fat lipbalm is definitely LOVE!

So, those are the cheap products that I have. Some I love and some I loathe.

Nyx is supposed to be not that expensive too and I'm yet to try that out.

If you haven't already noticed, I am slowly converting this blog into a beauty blog. This is something that I am very passionate about lately and it might be just a phase but nevertheless, here it is.

In that case, I need to post this picture.

Please welcome me to the beauty blog world

But I will post about something random every now and then I guess. Like this one

My mom's Christmas tree.

and this is us blocking it

Merry christmas to those of you who celebrate it.

Moisturizers

2009-12-07T10:52:00.015+07:00

When it comes to moisturizers, one cannot stress enough on the importance of it.

A good moisturizer hydrates, balances and prevents your skin from bad environment etc etc.

No matter what types of skin you have, you must always moisturize your face religiously. I always tell Hai to take better care of his face and he never listens!

I once learned that the benefit of facial care does not show right after you apply nor in months of regular applications. Instead, it will only appear like when you're older, so it's like an investment really.

As for moi, I started out early ( around 11 years of age) using Hazeline snow for daily use.

The old packaging!!!

Since then I've changed a lot of moisturizer brands and also have welcomed the use of sunblock in my life.

As for now, I have several options when it comes to moisturizing my face.

#1 Kanebo whitening series ( sunblock & moisturizer)

I've used Kanebo for almost 5 years and it's been good to my skin. They are quite pricey but I guess you get what you pay for.

So I put a pea size of the moisturizer on my clean face and followed by the sunblock SPF 29. I read that the SPF depends on the type of activity you have throughout the day, but the minimum is 15. So SPF 29 is adequate.

When I use this duo, it leaves my skin moisturized but does not provide any tint or color whatsoever. My face also tends to get oily at the end of the day, especially on my forehead.

Score : 3/5

#2 Eyeko 3 in 1 cream & Tinted sunblock

This cream is all the rave on the internet!! 3 in 1 is moisturizer, highlighter and eyecream.

When I read the good review, I ended up becoming a member in beauty forum to buy this product online. And that forum should be blamed for my constant spending and buying things online fml.

The sunblock is a French product and it's from Mei. It's tinted like liquid foundation and has SPF 50! Pretty strong!

The Eyeko 3in1 cream is pinkish in color, quite shimmery and shiny. Some ppl dislike it as it gives the illusion of a discoball when put on face, but it seems to be working well on my face. Especially now that I mix it with the tinted sunblock. I love it!

Here's how I use it.

Mixed them up!

you have to click to enlarge this dunno how like this small

It leaves my skin the right pinkish tone and quite velvety. It has slight shimmer effects so I always save this cream for weekend use. When I put them on, my face brightens up instantly and I don't see any oily spot till the end of the day. My fave so far.

Score : 4/5

#3 BB cream Skin79

BB ( Blemish Balm) cream is also all the rave for Asian skin. It's everything in one! whitening, moisturizer, sunblock SPF 25, anti wrinkle blablabla.

I bought this one from Facebook and totally kena con fml. So expensive compared to the sellers around the beauty forum I was talking about.

This bb cream is quite smooth when applied and it's tinted, so that's good for covering. It doesn't have a shimmering effect, which is a plus for weekdays. My forehead does need blotting at the end of the day with this cream.

Score : 3/5

So as you can see, I always include sunblock for daily use. Eventhough my face is rarely exposed to the sun, still it's important.

Na said when it's daylight saving time in Canada, she even applies sunblock at night!

more sunblock

Well, that is all about moisturizer. Please do moisturize well people!

Few more pictures.

elf products that came in the mail!!! Yay!!!

I'll be soon posting about this, along with the NYX products cousin Jeff is bringing from USA. *superscreechingsqueal!!!*

spent last weekend reading this and picked up a few tips!

Happy 1st 0511 :D

2009-11-05T09:27:00.002+07:00

Quite a long time ago,
We have known each other.
A friend in the front row
A classmate, nothing further

By a stroke of fate,
Our friendship rekindled
Nothing exceptionally great
Infact, it was simple

On your girl chases
I would always listen
Some were funny cases
Some I even dissed on

You offered me fun
When I most needed it
Everything u had done
It lifted my spirit.

Before long, you're everywhere
When I'm sick, you're always there
My rant and fury, you've had your share
If I can cash your kindness, I'm a millionaire!

I am thankful for your love
And always will be
This poem is all I can think of
To show my sincerity

It's been 365 goodnites
Maybe a couple of fights
To some, maybe you're allrite
But to me, you're Mr. Right!

:)

Back

2009-10-30T08:45:00.010+07:00

Just when I thought my will to blog has died forever. It came back.

I noticed a few thing about my desire to blog. To me, this blog :
a. is not a way to keep in touch with people.
b. is not the mean to chronicle my life.
c. is a place I run to when I excite myself with trains of thoughts.

Like right now!

And this is actually a good thing to share, to the 3 people who read my blog whoever you are. Haha.

I just made...

jeng jeng jeng..

A HOMEMADE BRUSH CLEANSER !!!

I can see the 1 male reader out of 3 just clicked the x button on top right corner. Screw you!

First, let me expose you to the parts of a brush

The bristle is the perfect nesting place for germs and bacteria. You don't want that as it might cause skin irritation and eye infection! So when it comes to brushes, you should be hygienic!

Okay, so before I make this brush cleanser, I cleaned the brush the usual way :
A dollop of shampoo -> lather the bristle -> rinse under faucet.

Sounds easy except I found that it's quite flawed really :

1. Inconvenient. My room is on 3rd floor, bathroom on 2nd.
2. Time consuming. Ppl might be queuing for a pee while I'm in there.
3. A waste of water.
4. A waste of shampoo. ( you'll see why later)
5. Risky. You might damage the glue in the ferule and the handles might come lose. I am always paranoid about this, making this technique....
6. Mentally tiring. ( Sometimes physically too, with the standing).

You can't purchase a brush cleanser in Medan either!

I was in The Body Shop the other day and I saw a bottle of TBS brush cleanser and I yelled " HOW MUCH??!" to the spg.

She said " oh, that's not for sale. It's for store's brushes"

I repeated " WHY LIKE THAT? HOW MUCH?"

She was annoyed. I was a retard. As always.

So enough reasons to make my own and here's how. I learned from websites and youtube btw.

1. Mix water and alcohol ( 4 :1 ) eg. mine is 200 ml water and 50ml alcohol.

2. Add a teaspoon of baby shampoo. Just a dollop really.

3. Add a teaspoon of dishwasher liquid. Also just a dollop.

4. Stir well slowly. You don't want it to lather up and get all foamy.

5. Pour into container!

A fancy glass ( purposely bought for the occasion)
A spray bottle and a used facial cleanser bottle

You can see that :
- The water is the most of the ingredient, to clean and to rinse.
- The alcohol is to disinfect the germs and bacteria.
- The baby shampoo is to gently clean.
- The dishwasher is for the extra cleanse.

I just thought that up, but it's just logic really.

BEGIN CLEANING PROCESS:

Pour. Not too much. Just slightly above the bristle. And dip!
Gently swirl them. GENTLY AND LOVINGLY!

Dirt comes off

Wipe on the surface of a tissue ( the rough one) until clean.
GENTLY AND LOVINGLY!!

lay flat to dry

And You're DONE!!
No more rinsing. No more running water tap. No more worrying if they are germ free. or if the handle will come off.

And the brushes take half the time to dry! I noticed it this morning.

Cleaning my big brushes with the spray.

Spray to penetrate and wipe away. Efficiency!

Last few tips :
- Use tissue of good quality for wiping. It'll help you clean to the last detail. Use the disposable napkin!

- When the cleanser gets gooey, replace it before cleaning your next brush. You can just wipe it off the glass really. It's so cheap anyway. Don't be a cheapskate.

- Clean your brush regularly and lovingly. Don't be a lazyskate! haha.

- For eyeliner brush that is hard to clean. Wipe it with baby oil prior to dipping it into the cleanser. Ease the process.

Okay, that is all for the brush cleanser that I'm very proud of and happy about.

There's also deep cleansing for your brush. But I'm yet to learn that. I will blog about it soon I have and if I haven't lost my make up interest by then.

My affair with make up started about a year ago, but it has gone up to a new level just these past 2 months.

and as far as an affair goes, this is... a serious one. I don't know.. * looks away*

I mean, I think of a vanity table instead of a walk-in closet nowadays. Die.

SO!! more make up posts ahead. Soon as my camera returns to me. :)

When he's around.

2009-10-08T08:16:00.013+07:00

One month away and it's our 1st anniversary yay.

Because Hai works out of town (in a jungle to be precise), he is away most of the time. Like 1/3 of a month he spends away from the city.

And in his 2/3 being in town, roughly 1/2 of that is mostly spend hanging out in groups.

Aiya, anyway what I'm trying to say is we don't always hang out just the two of us and I think it is fairly important that couple spends quality time alone away from the crowd.

Which is what we did last weekend!

First to Sushi tei for lunch.

Baby octopus- I said "so pity hoh". Hai grunted & said I spoilt his mood wtf.

Salmon belly - melt in your mouth goodness

crab with sausage and corn, this isn't very good.

Still it's wiped out clean

I look at pictures of food and I'm happy because it's been 4 days since my milk diet. T__T

The diet consists of :
Breakfast- a glass of milk
Lunch - a carb-blocking pill & a healthy meal
Dinner - a glass of milk & a carb-blocking pill. Light meal optional, preferably none. Fml.

turning into a herbivore soon

THIS DIET HAD BETTER PAY OFF!!!! Grrr!!!!

Anyway, after sushi we went to 21.

and that's all. lol. Very standard date.

Btw, I quite like The Public Enemy. I didn't know that the character that Johnny Depp played is such a big deal. John Dillinger is the reason behind the setting up of FBI in the first place. He robbed whichever bank he pleased and always got away with it while being a criminal superstar in the process.

I'd better get my facts before watching another movie next time, else I'd be snoring like this guy who sat next to me in the movie.

SO MAD HANDSOME

Dinner with the Kwoks and Pink.

her hands sewn to her BB, rolleyes

Got his chee-fu look on, so cute

Folllowed with karaoke with Pink and more hanging out with some friends.

I don't know what's the point of blogging about the uninteresting events of my life. -__-'

But I guess uninteresting is still better than unfortunate because I broke the lens cover of my camera. T_T

It all started with jelly lens.

stick it and see the effects

First, it did not deliver its effect like promised ( polarized, sparks etc) and second, it's got crappy adhesive.

When I pulled it out, the adhesive got in the way and off came the lens rim exposing the inner bits of the camera lens cover while a mini spring ( as in the coiled one not the season) jumped out.

I had to had it sent to Jakarta for repair. Will probably take about 5 weeks. Fml.

A friend of mine is very pleased with jelly lens though. She claimed that it's working for her and did deliver the effects as expected.

Well., the only effect it did me is upsetting and traumatizing. T_T

No pictures for 5 weeks then :(

About breakups

2009-09-29T13:31:00.007+07:00

Relationship, sometimes they work, many times they don't. Cause while there is just one good reason to be together, there are countless reasons not to.

And when ppl can't be together, it's disheartening, it’s the worst and so on. Afterall, it is the one of the worst things that can happen to ppl, right after "the death of loved ones" and maybe before “getting fired", without including "natural disaster" .

I do, however, believe in the saying “you have to let go of the good things in life to make ways for greater ones". I strongly believe that.

Having gone through one major breakup in my life is enough to prove to me that saying above works.

I remember a friend who had been thru many breakups said " Oh cis, all my miseries combined are still nothing compared to what u've been through". Well she meant that in a good way though.

I'm no expert in breakups really , infact; I sometimes detest the fact that, that one breakup defines who I am.

I hate to be "that" girl who broke up after howmany howmany years of relationship and the guy rushed to the altar not long after.

Because while it was a long relationship, it is somehow, I don’t know.. overall it seems trivial and miniscule.

Granted, there were times I was a wreck, but compared to what I have now, to say that it’s worth it, is an understatement.

I am now with a guy who when I said “ oh no, now you know I have ugly toe nails and will hate me” replied “ I don’t freaking care even if you don’t have both your toes”.

For now, You and I

I wish it had ended sooner though. You would be surprise that being with someone for so long still didn’t leave you a single good moment to remember . Same goes for how it didn't give me anything bad to think of.

See, the whole thing is just so pointless. Maybe I am too heartless I don't know.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, a break up can be the bestest thing that happens to a person. It might take some time for you to realise that, but never let urself think otherwise. It has to be the best thing.

You will have no idea how something can restrain you and hold you down to the endless opportunities there are out there.

And you will have no idea how everything is within your grasp if only you allow yourself to let go.

When I have a daughter, one gem of advice I'll tell her is:

Go on, go break a few hearts. Maybe get yours broken too in the process. It could be the best damn favor a guy could do for you.

PS: Nobody died. This is just a random thought a random post.

September 2009

2009-09-16T15:05:00.017+07:00

I figure this would be the only post for September 2009, hence the title.

So muchhh have happened. Work has taken quite a toll on my spare time, but mostly it's because I just got thru the exam period with the tuition students.

I took up other students at a friend's place and it's been quite fun. I am learning to whack and smack a few kids in the process while mastering my "evil-teacher" stare.

twins, double the trouble.

Anyway, here's a quick recap of what's what :).

Pink's Bday!

Yep she went and cut her hair shorter.

I teased her saying that she looks like random auntie who goes for early morning jog. The kind who goes straight to wet-market afterward still in their jogging attire hehe.

But she pulls this look quite well I have to say, it's growing on everyone real fast and she looks great honestly. We once concluded that while long-haired ppl can look pretty and cute, short-haired ppl always look cooler. In a way.

Birthdays come and go and I'm still sorry she thinks her birthday blew. -_- " . Well, I'll make it up on her next birthday and wedding perhaps!

Derrick's Bday!

The Kwoks all have same birth month.

Please stop growing up already boy!

Passing his first year, he's now in the cutest phase of his life. Before he was like a cute but mindless little person (well, he is a baby whaddya expect), now it's like he's beginning to have a hold of things.

He can now say one or two words and other gibberish words that are just oh-so-damn cuteeee! He's learning to walk and very proud of it too! such a little snob :)

Cin's Bday!

Cake courtesy of Dewi, her friend.

We had a simple meal and it was delish! We also celebrated early dinner on Yung's birthday but have no photos. :(

I think all my sisters age gracefully, but can't say the same thing for myself haizzz. fml.

I cut my hair short

Aiyahh, what kind of English teacher writes " I cut my hair short"; It should be " I had my hair cut short" or " I had my hair cut" period. I don't know. What kind of English teacher am I?! or I am?! Gah!!!

Commence endless self-shot :

My favorite position in a car.

See the thing I said about my sisters age gracefully and I don't. I seriously look so much older. The short hair just makes it more obvious.

It's the reverse theory. Ppl think that short hair makes you look younger so old ppl all have shorter hair now and then it's just commonplace to link old to short. The reverse theory.

Mad Men

Mad <3

I just finished the 1st season and I have to say that I totally understand why this series won the best series AND the best drama series in 2008's Emmy.

It might be a bit draggy at first and you have only a few clues of what really is goin on. I almost gave it up but had the right mind to bear with it till the 6th episode and I'm hooked.

It's not crazy addictive like True Blood but it slowly seeps in you and suddenly you can't wait to return to that 1960's advertising company " Sterling Cooper" where sexism and racism are common while they womanize, chain-smoke, and drink their liquor all through out the scenes.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea though.

Holiday is coming soon and I hope I have a good one. And you too :)

2005-2009

2009-08-27T13:16:00.006+07:00

Yesterday, I was browsing through my old emails and ended up in the " Sent" folder, almost 1200s emails sent out starting from mid of 2005 till recently.

Reading my emails circa 4-5 years ago was... weird.

I think in the span of half a decade I've changed so much. The tone of my old mails sure tells me that. I soon find my 2009-self hating my 2005-self thinking" whothefuck is his self-righteous bitch?".

I was more urm..., for the lack of better words, chirpy and cheerful. and enthusiastic, less angry and more chatty. Definitely more chatty.

April 2005, me waiting for food

But then at the same time I can't say that I'm satisfied with myself now. I think I've built up a lot of hatred and anger in me for no reasons. I can't help it but I just can't seem to tone myself down a notch or two.

I'm not really sorry about being an ass for most of the time, but sometimes I surprise myself of the awful thoughts I have about random ppl hahaha. I actually laughed. Maybe I've forgotten how to feel sorry at all.

July 2009, still me still waiting for food

In the 5 years time I've also done so little. This wouldn't even get to 5 points.

There is a slight improvement but overall dismissable in career, if you can call mine one.
I haven't mastered any skills except shopping if you can that one. Oh, and maybe make-up.
I cooked once in 5 years, but cooking is overrated.
I'd like to think I've been involved in the making of bright minds out of one or two students but I wouldn't count on that.
I gained a nephew but props go out to Cin, so..

Why do I even bother to blog about this, haizzz I don't know I've been so bored and I update so rarely I think I should do this more often.

So I will end this with my Top 5 favorite of an opening credit in a series. ( This is so out of the topic I didn't even see this coming LOL)

#1. The Simpsons- gotta love the chalkboard and couch gags!

#2. True Blood. Badass opening song, nasty animals and sickening images of the clashes of church and evils.

#3. Dexter. Just his daily routine which resembles murders and blood splatters. Very nicely done.

#4. United States of Tara. Very pretty illustrations! and it sums up the whole idea of a woman with 4 different personalities.

#5. Grey's Anatomy. Combination of real life and hospital life. Also, I can't ever get tired of the song. Nobody knows where they might end up lalala

I wish I could post up youtube videos :(

Changes

2009-08-14T08:11:00.009+07:00

Change is inevitable.

The thing is, I have been in the same exact cycle for as long as I can remember. It's "work-more work-live".

To live is pretty much about socializing, having quality time and small amount of self -entertainment.

I think my problem - one of so many- is, avarice. That's the fancy word for "greed"

When you are made of bottomless pits, you can't help but be involved in a rat race, which should explain my excessive working. and when you work excessively, it can only go up! You ( at least, I) tend to still overwork for the sake of wealth accumulation, which then you use to satisfy more of your endless needs in the rat race. See how this fucked-up vicious cycle repeats itself too??! fml.

Well, 2010 is few months away. I am determined- in a way- to make some great self-change. Some things that I am really looking forward to have changed by then are :

Spend less instead of earn more

I really have to realize there’s only so much my two hands can do. Overworking myself will only lead to nowhere.

Plus, I really hate having to rush through traffic, honking like crazy, looking out for space ahead and trying to squeeze my car silly, battling with the ticking clocks knowing I would never win. It's so pointless!

I gotta admit, this is hard. Spending.less.is.so.crazy.hard.fml.

Two instead of a dozen
Talking about my credit card. -_-" .

While I am good and punctual in payment, cards really fuel my compulsive side.

Goodness shall prevail!!

Exercise & Healthy choice instead of diet craze

3 years ago I exercised daily and now I have to plan for a jog fml and when I did jog, it felt so very nice!! It's the joy of breaking a sweat, really makes me feel noble wtf.

no more pills, I swear

Use instead of stock

Was chatting with a friend and he told me he has untouched-downloaded stuff of almost 1 terra, that’s a whopping 1.000GIGS of data!!

I once read a fascinating story about a housewife who hoarded garbage until the social service had to take her kids away because the house was too filthy to live in.

Ppl like to hoard, to stock, to have stashes of junks. I do too. Virtually or not. We keep waiting for the right time to use , but there won’t be a right time for those piles of dvds, books, data, everything!!

The time is NOW!! Let's start using!

An anti-social instead of a social butterfly.

There were a time when all I cared for is where to go for the weekends. Well, it was fun while it lasted. But lately, I am reminded of why I was an anti-social in the first place. It’s just so TEDIOUS & DEMANDING!!

did this once with Hai. forgot our code word.

Like many other things, social life comes with responsibilities. Ones that maybe I can't keep up with.

And really, I am the most insincere people I know. I hardly ever care. I don't know why.

I do know though, that it’s not very right when you are friends with ppl just for the benefits that come with them.
It makes me feel like a fraud when I am not looking out for their best interests. With this complexity, wouldn’t it be better that everyone just keep to themselves?

Gohcuk said," Just be yourself!". He's right. Maybe afterall, I don't have much luck with friends :( . fml

And it's getting old. I'M getting old!

also getting pretty at the same time. I can live with that.

Be kind etc instead of urmm..not.

This whole post sounds like I'm bitching. I hate to bitch.. no, actually, I don't hate to bitch.

It IS SO HARD TO BE NICE SOMETIMES!

There are ppl in the office whom I talk to without bothering to know where their faces are at.

and Derrick dislikes me! He prefers a stranger than me.

But then again, he's too little to know any better, cause if he had known any better he'd pick me! He is one heart I am yet to win!!!!

You know, you CAN'T reject me forever, Derrick!

The thing is, I have to hold myself up if I want to set a good example for my kids in the future. lol hahaha, I actually laughed. OK STOP!

Well, these are things that I hope to change for now. GOOoooOO self!!

A birthday in a 3rd world country

2009-08-03T11:17:00.041+07:00

30th July is Hai's birthday.

It's also the day I tried my hands on making an edible cake.

Tiramisu no less!

Cin helped me.
note: Subject & object in above sentence are interchangeable.

I so remembered I posed for this

chef Bella oui!

Actually from the looks of things, it's obvious that she was the one carrying out most of the making process.

In proportion, Cin contributed like 60% of effort in making this, but I contributed 80% in supplying ingredients ( 10% goes to Min and the other 10% goes to Cin). So I really have to take more credits than I deserved wtf.

Plus, I couldn't participate as much since the little guy was around being his unignoreable self.

in giggling fits

doing his best at distracting ppl

Anyway, it turned out pretty well. I have to say I am impressed with the result!

It tasted nice!

layers

We had a lot of ingredients material left, so she made more mini tiramisus.

Cin and the family ate this for lunch and dinner 2 days straight :D

The next hard part was presenting the cake in style. He thought that I was at work as usual, little did he now that I was

at his front door already!! yay!!

Making a wish

thx sis :)

got him a birthday theme of Homer Simspon shirt

Later that night, he took me out to a fancy restaurant for a proper birthday dinner.

The Kitchen @ Aryaduta

The restro overlooks the hotel lobby which has an equally comfy vibe.

I think it's safe to say that it's the fanciest dinner date that we've ever had in our entire lives, which explains why we acted like retarded monkeys from the zoo.

The giant menu stretched all the ways to our arms and chins wtf.

with words we can't pronounce

Strawberry smoothies for him

Mojito tea for moi

The waiter thought the smoothies was for me and when I said no, he had a grin on his face wtf haha. A guy can't have a strawberry smoothie in peace.

By this time, we both kept murmuring the world " 3rd world country" repeatedly to each other, which is the term we developed when we were at KL. For example :

Cis : Hai, look!! They have hand sanitizer machine inside the mall for free!

Hai : Aiya, don’t be so 3^rd world country lah.

After the drinks were served, the waiter came around and gave us a small plate of butter and I was so 3rd world country-ish that I asked Hai " What's this? Are we supposed to put this into the drinks hio?"

Then he came again and asked for a selection of bread, then I go, " ohhh.. so that's what the butter is for" fml.

I'm so used to seeing butter & bread on cheap hotel breakfast voucher I don't know they exist on dinner.

I munched all this down

For starter, we had foei gras with apple slices and special sauce.

very savory

It's something I have always wanted to try, despite knowing the ducks are forced-fed with corns till they have oily and meaty hearts. You can't be sorry but indulgent at the same time, so I choose to be indulgent & guilt-free.

And we also had Ratatouille Soup. It's tomato-ish but I quite liked it! I usually hate BBQ sauce or spaghetti sauce that used too much tomatoes yuck!

with a hint of milk

For main course, I had Signature Salad. It's salad with more duck meat and special sauce.

Great choice I think, not too heavy

Hai had Parmesan Risotto.

We didn't finish this. Too full by then.

For dessert we had, Lemon Mint Parfait.

Full

Kiasu so I drank to the last bit

Birthday dinner pose

3rd world country couple otw home

All this dinner for a lousy tiramisu cake and a t-shirt, my pleasure really.Except I also bought him one great gift lar, no need to disclose here because too great okay.

Anyway, last Saturday Hai had another birthday dinner with friends.

I totally love this pic of us.

They gave Hai a perfume as present, he loved it. Thx for the thoughtful gift everyone!!

Most importantly, thank you Hai for the memorable dinner, I don't mind being a 3rd world country ppl as long as you are one too :)

Lastly, I hope you had a blast on your birthday. I wanted to wish you abundance of love and a lifetime of happiness, but you'll always have that cause you got me now wtf haha.

So instead, I wish for everything you wish for and moreeeeeeee.

Ho ho ho holiday

2009-07-23T10:11:00.032+07:00

I had thought to skip this holiday post altogether because I have posted something on Take a chic pill and uploaded loads of pics on Facebook, then Hai said the funniest thing and asked me when I will post about our holiday! so lol.

We wore masks on most of our trips cause of the H1N1 virus and the fact that a day before we flew I got mild fever and had a major freakout of my life.

pooh mask from Devia :D

1st and 2nd day we were on Penang and spent most of our days at the hospital

having check ups

and eating yucky hospital food

and waiting around

and getting ready to be probed. lol wtf.

When we're not at the hospital, we loitered around at the malls and eating stalls.

FML look at my back fat

Penang food is heavenly. I can totally see myself making a trip in the honor of devouring Penang food solely. That, and the fact that Penang has malls that are quite explorable.

And I love the streets and architectures of Penang buildings! Very old school with bright colors.

The 3rd day we made a flight to KL and got on a taxi heading to Genting.

We had to share the cab with a family of three. Me and Hai sat at the back with the mom and she was sleeping with her mouth and legs wide open. They should have paid more cause she totally sabotage half of the backseat wtf!

super tired after the flight and saboed cab ride

So we had arrived and more loitering having fun.

Hai did go and have his luck tried on gambling table only to finish early and lost some money booohooo... Y_Y.

I'm not into gambling myself, so I don't think I will be looking forward to make a return trip to Genting anytime soon. Things are pricey and don't get me started on the cheap, small and stinky hotel.

So the next day off we went to KL.

We're supposed to meet with Min around 6pm so we took a cab and went to

IKEA!!!

pink furniture!!

pink vase!!

more pinkness!

that dangling thing!

our dream toilet totally!!

I think going to Ikea despite the expensive cab fare was really worth it. It is infact, the hightlight of the trip for me. We saw so many inspirational designs and mad nice furniture! All at affordable price, which made us curse our luck since Indo got no Ikea wtf.

Anyway, we met with Min and more loitering and shopping and eating and drinking ensued.

and more camwhoring too!

stampede pose

fear the tiger pose

touch the tusks pose

So you see, the trip is about loitering and eating and drinking and camwhoring repeat cycle.

Some more pics for your viewing pleasure below :)

I think this one is very nice

I think this strangling pose is nice too

I complained about my hair and he helped me style it
* lol look at his hands go!*

Hai bought me this !!! <3 <3 <3

For more stuff I bought from the trip, please head to the other blog thanksss :))

Reason #104-105

2009-07-09T14:18:00.012+07:00

So, this past week has been a quite tech-savvy week.

It started last Saturday when there's this giant sale on computer stuff. I went ahead and got myself an external hard-disk. These days there's just big demand on storage space. Those pictures and all downloaded files need to go somewhere!

It was crazy mad in the store, we actually had to pay first and claim the item later. Being tight on budget I got the cheapest hard-drive there was, Maxtor 250GB.

Excitedly, I rushed to the garage and they gave me this.

bluee?? ewww

I thought that at least I can get my dirty cheap paws on the red one. But blue? Seriously. Blue.

I tried to console myself saying that och well I can dress it, I can bling it, I can live with it, but deep down I just knew that my weekend was ruined. If not my life.

It's such a joke that I walked in that store preparing to be the happiest girl and walked out all bummed out boohoo..

But being the good boyfriend as he always is, he took me back to the store, despite all the busy schedules and the prospect of being loathed by his mom* long story* , he drove me back there, fought our ways and got me this instead!!!

and I got exciting red

Yayyyy!!! Now my life is complete.

It's not the pinkest external hard-drive, but it'll do.

Okay, so as if that's not enough, yesterday he went ahead and gave me jeng jeng jeng..
.
.
.

A BLACKBERRY OMG!!!

Correction, NOW my life IS complete.

I couldn't believe it! I still can't.

It was so randomly out of the blue that I couldn't muster a proper thank you. I believe all I did was yelled at him for being too generous and glared at him sideways back and forth. I don't know why I'm like that wtf!

I've wanted it for the longest time!! and I thought I'd be able to get myself one after my CNY bonus, which is like in 2 more centuries.

He even got me the pink pouch. Super thoughtful.

even my Pink camera came from him!! and the pink phone on the right!

Now they match my pinkself

Thank you thank you. You've made me so happy :D

More wishlist

2009-06-25T16:05:00.019+07:00

Goin on a vacation next month and my mind races like crazy at the thought of possible purchase. So here's a therapy post.

Things I want else my life is worthless:

Pure White Linen - Pink Coral by Estee Lauder.

It's pink!! and it smells really nice. I went to the counter and sniff-approved it. The bottle is so standard looking so it'd better come at reasonable price.

Also, I can't wait to raid the pharmacy and shop for mascara.

I heard ( from Youtube make up gurus) Lashblast Covergirl is quite good.

and black gel eyeliner.

It's the new liquid. Maybe I should get some liquid too hmm..

Basically, I want all cheap make up products I can lay my eyes and hands on.

not Mac, they are costly T__T

Some brushes would be nice.
I have something like that at home but like many other beauty products, you can't never have too many of them. True story.

One of the things I have been lusting after is a pair of good strappy heels. Nothing too extreme or those which scream for attention. I'd love some versatile heels else I won't be wearing them.

Mad

Needless to say, I'd want some nice outfits to go with the shoes. I've been on a shopping-fast these days and I can't wait to unleash my inner demons.

yayyyy

I have some non-vain things I want too.

I'd like some pink gadgets.

OMG!!!! This is the prettiest picture ever

Some good books!! I have another list for the books I want but it keeps growing.

I'd be going to Ikea too!!!

Obviously I can only bring some small decorative items home.

The dangling pink storage thing

Pretentious frames

Another obvious thing is that I am not being budget-realistic here, I have never been. I set a price on my mind only to walk out of the shop saying while roll-eyeing " What is budgettt ar hahhh??"

Okay, calm down you demons. I'll feed you soon.

Revisited

2009-06-02T14:58:00.029+07:00

An sms yesterday:

"Ys demam murid2 ujian dan some otak ubi ditambah mince bete, ini mcm marriage to me ane, capek lahir batin"
From: Pink ( 0617642xxxx)

Roughly translated to :

" Ys is sick, the students are having exams and some potatoheads moreover min is pissed off, this is like a marriage to me, tired physically and mentally"

The moment I read that I just SUPER LOL-ed to myself I also don't know why that sounds so funny even until now I'm typing I'm still picturing Pink as an oily & sweaty housewife with demanding husband and kids wtf lol.

Been so long since I laugh out loud to myself. Almost never now.

Anyway, I have been missing my old posts for quite a lot ( why did I delete them why T___T), so I figure to revisit some pics from my handphone.

#1. This tattoo design will never see light of creation because, well, too many reasons. T__T

#2. Even made one for Min. They are ambigrams.

#3. Busy playing bug-spraying game. I bought sandals that day! We so innocent and make-up-less >_< ! #4. That's me 1/10 naked. Took picture because I was so sua-ku never been in a SO COMFORTABLE LUXURIOUS facial place mah. You can't zoom it, it'll be too blur ( like anyone want to see me 1/10 naked T___T)

#5. Another tattoo-related pic. That's the bro having his ink redone. -_-"

#6. I dropped this phone on a nite out. Totally siao just gone like that T___T.

#7. Gyaaaa!!! I was so thin here! Last week I wanted to wear this dress and I could barely breath. I am SO crazy fat now.*wail!!*

#8. Haha. My doodle and a handwriting by Mei, "In imagination world, nothing is intact". Must be her way of imitating me being full of shit.

#9. This is the right side of my work keyboard. Fail.

#10. And this is the left side. :p

# 11. And this is my work monitor. Pinkness all over. Now it's a Pinkish Audrey Hepburn btw.

#12. This is me and Niko and a well in a temple.

#13. My first make up trial. Watching and pausing youtube while practising. I'm so like all the 324.231 commentators of the video. You can see I was packing fat back on my face.

#14. Next sale! She got shoes, I got..dunno, forget.

#15. I think this looks nice :)

#16. Some company bribed me during CNY, yippie!

#17. Make up doodle :D

#18. Giant hand. Real size!! Belongs to a colleague. God forbids he ever slaps his wife. Btw, I was actually reading some bimbotic blog but quickly switch tab to TIME 2009 haha wtf.

#19. Compared to mine. We use this to slap each other around in the office. Regardless of the workloads, I took some time to paste it to thick cardboard and cut it out. I am employee of the year.

#20. Derrick in a trolley. So nice a being baby, everything excites you.

#21. Although I'm fussy and difficult,

#22. I hope you'll never get tired of me :)

#23. The end byebye.

Feeling a bit Bradshaw

2009-05-14T09:05:00.017+07:00

In season 4 episode 16 of Sex and the City " Ring a ding ding, Carrie just had split with Aidan and he left her with a big bill of her apartment to foot. Then Carrie moped around wondering where all her money went cause she's sure she made some.

Then Miranda had to point out that Carrie actually had a $40.000 worth of shoes collection, or something la i forget. Then Carrie went gasp! and moped somemore.

At this moment, although I'm not in the midst of having to pay for an apartment nor do I have $40.000 worth of shoes, I can't help but feel a little bit Bradshaw-ish too booo...T___T.

I too think that I did make some money but it's now all poof gone I also don't know where to.

If I try to crack my brain then these are where most of my money gone, starting from the greatest :

1. Clothes

I think I have loved clothes all my life. As a kid I once had 13 outfits for Chinese New Year. If I were allowed to think back then I would have asked for 2 more for a complete 2-week round of CNY.

You should know by now that we have a blog (Take a chic pill) dedicated to clothing. Read la please.

2. Bags

Because bags are usually expensive per item then it’s a big blow for the savings per purchase. But then again, you use a bag everyday it’s really not a splurge considering the long lasting use.

This is our current fave!! I got two in babypink and red! Yay!

I was half picking mine then realized all she wants is all I want!

3. Shoes

Sigh~. Shoesss..

Hai said he only have 3 pairs of shoes and I said I’d rather not live with just 3 pairs of shoes. I'm so glad I'm not a guy lor sometimes. Actually, all the time I'm glad I'm not a guy.

I own quite many pairs of shoes but everyday I wear this one chao black sandals I also don't know why shoes can put a spell on us girls like that hor?

The person I know with the craziest shoes collection is Pink and she lives a fine life. Read her confession of a shoe addict.

Anyway, please buy this. It's Pink's and it's a size smaller than her original elephant feet.

woohoo so glad mine fit!

4. Accessories

I developed a love for accessories for quite some time now. It can be the icing on the cake to the belle of the ball. It's very necessary in my humble opinion.

5. Make up

I’ve been siao about make up since last year and since I got free lessons from youtube it’s only fair that I buy good stuff now that I never spend on any make-up lessons.

I especially love dramatic and popped-out eye make up.

I have siao eyes one big one small.

6. Hair

I don't really spend a lot on hair but cutting itself costs a bomb! Not to mention the coloring, the maintenance, the hairfall therapy, the oh-so-bored-want-to-change-hairstyle syndrome.

I miss my old post titled " Hairvolution" so much. I miss all my old posts T___T.

7. Food

I don’t like spending money on food.

Last night Pink and I had a phone conversation,

Pink: Let's have bbq this weekend, I buy fish you buy shrimps.
Me : Why on earth would I buy shrimps??! I'd rather buy clothes la?!! Siao.
Hai : ( on the side) clothes clothes clothes * grumble*

My biology teacher said that it’s because we don’t produce digestion enzyme for stone that ppl have to work their ass off for food. Very well said. If only we can digest stone or paper or scissors for that matter haha wtf.

8. Real Expense

This includes car, petrol, bills, insurance etc. This is actually the biggest I spend on but I put it at the last of the list cause I hate it.

Anyway, in the end of the episode, everything worked out great for Carrie cause she got a loan from Charlotte.

Ideally, same shit happens on my end except that my dear friend Pink is also always in the state of poverty like me boohoo.. T____T

We'll probably die penniless but with shitload of stuff.

The worse thing is, I think I wouldn't have it the other way around.

Die die must fabulous. even just photoshop haha wtf!

Departures (おくりびと ,Okuribito)

2009-05-06T10:34:00.006+07:00

Gyaaa.. the japanese words on the title! kawaiii-ne...

Okay, so I cannot believe my 2nd movie review is still about some Asian released movie but no problem cause this is just too good to pass up.

Seriously , this movie is every bit worth the title of " Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film" at the 2009 Oscars.

No wonder Gohcuk raved so much about it (Read here) . He relentlessly annoyed everyone about it that I downloaded it finally.

I'll just briefly tell you the plot. NO SPOILERS!! so just read on.

A cellist guy is disbanded from his dream job in an orchestra and has to move back to his hometown along with his SO KAWAII-NE wife.

TOO PRETTY ,serious

And she can act too! Or maybe I'm just too distracted by her powdery face and buttermelting smile to notice ( although sometimes she is too sugary sweet feels like "aiyoh get real lah")

I might add here too that the male lead character is OISHIIII-DESSS . I think it means Yummy! cause the wife says " oiishiii" when she eats the yakiniku, haha wtf.

Masahiro Motoki & Ryoko Hirouse

But he seriously can act, I think most of the performance depends solely on him to deliver the laughs and tears.

Anyway back to the plot..

Having to live in his hometown really unfolds all the childhood memories he has, some are good but most are painful. His new job, especially, doesn't help at all in easing the transition.

So his new job is an encoffiner who bathes, dresses and groom dead bodies before putting them into the coffin. This job does not meet the society's eyes at all but it really opens up a new meaningful journey for him T______T.

In my opinion, the strongest point of the movie is the encoffining procedures. The actors delivered the procession with perfect poise and grace.
Everything is done with so much engulfed emotions, minimal dialouges and elegant body language. It is such a treat for the viewing pleasure really. Very engaging.

I also like how the movie has its point and audience don't get lost in trying to get it.

You know a lot of movies are really pointless and before you know it, the movie ends already like wtf?? Like there's a big gap that audience fail to follow despite being there the whole time.

Regardless all the praise though, there are some unnecessary scenes and some lines are wayy dramatic. Still, overall the flaws are dismissable.

So there you have it, I recommend that you go watch this. Be sure to prepare tissue near, you'll be needing it T______T.

PS. Before Okuribito I watched Superbad. Not so bad too I must say! I think if I met Judd Apatow we wouldn't have much to talk about but we'll be sharing laughs like crazy.

The cheesy post

2009-05-05T08:09:00.002+07:00

You asked me once why I rarely blog about you.

It's cause sometimes, for good reasons, words are not enough :)

<3 <3 <3

Can Cee

2009-04-20T14:48:00.024+07:00

Can cee or better known as kenci la i think, is a sport.

Visual explanation

That colorful thing is somewhat like a shuttlecock in badminton. Hands are off-limits and you basically just have to try your best to maneuver it with your legs.

It used to be the most popular plaything for boys during our school year. I remember it's forbidden to play this at school cause you'll be all sweats and not prepared for class or something la.

I think it's just an excuse cause this is Chinese ppl sports and everything chinese-related was banned back then.

But now! It's making its comeback and everyone is playing it!!

She must have been at least 55

It's amazing how some uncles and aunties are SO CRAZY GOOD at playing it! Apparently, while kenci is forbidden during my time, it was included as one of the school subjects during our parents' time. Siao.

Anyway, since everyone's going about at it. We tried to have ~~our hands~~ our feet at it.

Must pose for fierce leg actions

More fierce leg actions pose

I know la, so convincing. But when it comes to playing, we are all EPIC FAIL.

Leg up, kenci already on the floor = EPIC FAIL

leg so long also no use = EPIC FAIL

your leg so short cannot kick = EPIC FAIL
and why so far already kick? = double EPIC FAIL

Interruption for EPIC CUTENESS

wheeeeeee

It was a happy morning for him

sucks at kenci, good with babies

SO CUTE THIS PIC! i like it so much lol100x

Back to the loser story. Pink and Cin totally screamed like a banshee. Husen hurt his legs. plural.

losers

Yung kk is a good player though.

once a samseng, always a samseng

Actually hor from the pics, we all are PROFESSIONAL kenci players la just you see here:

pro

pro

err...pro

So from the pics we can conclude that we are all pros, except that we are actually waste of space.

Now this, is what you called a pro.

Korean dvd

2009-04-17T10:45:00.009+07:00

My first movie review : Sleeping Beauty - Korean

I hate it. Sorta.

I know that to Korean film Industry, erotic theme sells and infact, has revived the country's dying movie industry since the global crisis hit. But hor, this movie is REALLY DISTURBING AND MIND POKING.

It has very few dialogues and stories depend mostly on the cast's acting to deliver its point. Which is good, you know how a silent scene tells so much than a lengthy conversation, I totally love it.

So basically its 3 separate short stories compiled into an hour and 40 mins ( I think) drama. I'm gonna tell it per story so here goes :

# SPOILERS AHEAD #

1st story:

The opening scene is an adolescent girl ( 13-14 yrs old) lying on the floor touching herself. right.

To make it double disturbing, the girl totally looks like one of my student wtf! I am so gonna look at her different now.

She's smiling now, but throughout her scenes she has a dead face, I also can act.

So she has to travel to this village to attend her grandma's funeral and there she meets her cousin who is the same age as hers. One thing leads to another and they end up in this empty classroom and has sex there.

I actually don't mind the incest theme cause the boy is from the mother's side. It's like one day if I have a daughter and if she and Derrick hit it off then I'll give them my blessing. hahaha ew.

Busted. Derrick and Tasha goin at it

So my problem is: If only they didn't cast such young actors then maybe it wouldn't be as disturbing la I think.

Then you know what, the movie ends there. I even forgot how it ends already. What it's trying to say totally no idea.

2nd story:

The main character is this lady in her early 40's with a plain and bloated face. Ugly.

So she has this senile/crazy dad in his 70's whom she feeds and bathes almost the entire movie She used to have a husband but he left her after being in a scene for 5 seconds. Total waste of space.

Then she hates her father but no choice always have to take care of him. The father is SO DISGUSTING serious!

One day she is bathing him then the father takes her hand and places it under there. SO DISGUSTING lar serious!

She's suing mad then she locks him in their little house and goes for a drink. She comes back she feeds him, bathes him ( no touching this time) and tucks him to bed.

Then jeng jeng jeng!

Her hand slowly goes under his blanket and she touches the father as in helping him with his last orgasm. Then the next scene the father is lying stiff dead and she crying next to it, the end.

Right. Totally WTF. Disturbing.

3rd story

A 17-yr-old girl, cute. Finally some eye candy in the movie.

She's smiling now, but throughout her scenes she has a dead face, I also can act. I know I said this already.

She was sold as a daughter to a family of a fit 60 years old uncle and this old granny.

There's also a pretty boy who is the uncle's adopted grandson. He is the supposed love interest of the poor girl.

First day, she already cooks and cleans so pitiful serious. First nite, she is raped. By that fit uncle.

The raping scene, OMFG la really so disturbing. And they didn't even show any skins. It's a dark room no dialouge, she was sobbing and the uncle just kept on forcing his way onto her. Crazy.

Anyway, going to bed with the uncle becomes regular and she got pregnant.

Then somehow she becomes involved with the grandson. Things heat up and the uncle got stabbed millions times and the end.

Right.

A lot of scenes in the movie made me want to puke and caused me throbbing headache from frowning too much. Apparently it's too much disturbing erotics for me to handle.

I then try to clear the dizziness with Mamma Mia.

WRONG CHOICE! Make me frown even more. Too jovial for my liking. Blurgh! But Meryl Streep is sooooo beautiful.

There's just no pleasing me these days.

I have the cutest nephew ever who shall call me momme ie-ie/ auntie mommie for future reference.

I will have him call my husband Papi ie-ie / Auntie daddy Lol. It sounds so much better than Uncle mommie I think.

So I have a fitness machine Bodyslender sitting idly at home

When I first saw it from the TV ad, I was totally consumed by it and just know it in my heart I gotta have it. I went with pink with her boyfriend and me with mine that makes 4 of us, not 5.

They were not very encouraging by saying stuff like " aiyoh seriously you will get bored within a month" and " you will not use it la, or else I will pay for it".

And I totally said " I will NEVER get bored of it, I will use it daily 15 mins and be thin."

Well, it's been a week and I am bored of it now. Boooo.. >_<..

I had a long chat the other day with Pink using our free phone service called mesra or "intimate" in English.

We basically talked about how we both realized that we are no longer as close as we were and it just saddened us both immensely.

wtf pose

It used to be just the two of us, but what was once just a very-close one-on-one-with-a-lot-of-quality-times-spent friendship has now bloomed into a large group of ppl.

Don't get me wrong I love the diversity of the group and the new people whom we hang out on weekly basis now, but still that has changed the course of our previous relationship. We now see less of each other and spend less time with one another.

I have to admit its my fault cause with the boyfriend on the scene she got bumped out of the priority list and that sucks. With me being absent most of the time she now tries to make up with mingling with more crowd and now that she doesn't need me I really resent that but what can I do and what do I expect right?

Actually there's this girl who always says " What do you suppoooseeee?" when she really means " What do you expppectt ?!" . That's so funny.

So anyway, What do I supposeee right? now that she's gone and met new people she is bound to leave me. Booo T_T.

so far now

But the good thing is I guess soon we'll bounce back cause girlfriends should stick to each other like that.

When I say stuff like this then Hai will scoff and say that Pink and I are like boyfriend-girlfriend then I can just go "TSKKKKKKKK!!"

Anyway, I think life is like that. It's about choices and priorities. As we grow, we build the path that we walk on and somewhere along the way you realize that the ppl who were once very close to you just drift apart for all the unexplainable reasons in the world.

Eh but again, Pink and I are not drifting apart la not so gua zang.

Actually so many things are so unexplainable, like the so many bad things that happened starting the beginning of this year and they just leave ppl so drained out and tired. sigh~

I am in dire need of a good news and energy!!!

and a new pink phone

and this external hard-drive

pink paradise

So sad both the phone and hard-disk are not sold here :(

to be continued...

Reason #37

2009-03-31T15:18:00.014+07:00

So I'm going to be all mushy and yucky about the ( not so) new boyfriend and come up with good reasons about him being the bestest :)

And reason #37 is:

Instead of disapproving of my love for cam-whoring like this

or this

or this

( Actually this is not a good picture, but it's up so be it liao)

And instead of disapproving of my love for taking crazy/funny pictures like this :

It's "desteny" that we got this picture

, he actually went and helped me take this :

I want Mie Wanted!!!

Thank you! For a minute I thought I was gonna kena angry or something for being so .. me.

Anyway, I've checked , the one making the wanted noodle is nowhere near Heath Ledger. Still want it though!

Weekends

2009-03-16T13:28:00.027+07:00

Went rafting with the girlfriends last two weekends at Sei Bingei.

i looked like peeing in the bottle

It's about another 2 hours drive from Binjai, which is an hour drive from Medan.

It's a pretty long drive and we sat till our butts squares.

That morning was a rainy non-stop one and we all secretly wished the rafting better got canceled so we could return to the comfort of our beds.

The water was up and fast flowing too.

Anyway, tough luck for us girls cause there's no cancelling in sight and in fact we were quickly shoved into one of those buses that are strictly for rough heads only.

Totally fainted desperate bus.

I cringed just by the glimpse of it. Actually we all cringed just by looking at the helmets and vests we had to put on. I think Pink actually teared when she put em on . T_T.

it stank so crazy bad wtf >_<

This goes down as the worst car I've ever been in and the longest hell-trip of my life. Round trip. Hands down no competition. It's so bad. And I've been on several public transportation!

After about 30 minutes drive we had to walk like another 30 minutes. And it's sticky, muddy and tiring.

Passing the bridge with false enthusiasm

After the arduous long process, we finally got to raft!!

crazy teammates

The view was quite amazing really.

it's the boiling stinky-egg smell waters

But I didn't bring my camera for fear it might get wet and die a quick death eventhough I got two cameras now cause my bf bought me a new one for my birthday yay!

These pics are all from Dev's and her camera did get soaked wet and is now long gone amen.

I made few new friends and they're really nice. I think.

Jowett

Wenny

Rafting was quite fun.The water was cool and the views were awesome. There were 4 other guys on my raft and all of em were such good sports.

We got thrown out of the raft a couple of times, not because of the heavy waves but because they sorta pushed us out. Yea good sports.

Fun and sores aside, I think enough extreme sports for a year now. -__-''

Think I'll better opt for pretend sports like pool.

This was taken with my new camera hfuehuafdsa

my new camera

new camera.

Angelic said " eh you knoe from pictures we all like pro players like that" hahaha. Fact is we can't play for crap.

new found fact : he's a lousy pool player!!

But niko and niki play fierce pool. I think hor, the better someone at pool the more wu-liao they really are.

I mean, you gotta have loads of free time to practice. I know ppl skip class and kill their future for pool. So you see how laziness and pool are related now?

wu liao budyo boys

Weekends... they come and go.. they come and go..* karma chameleon tune*

Tatah.

>: [ !!!!

2009-03-13T09:26:00.008+07:00

I went to a student's house yesterday and parked my car.

10 minutes later, I forgot a book and went back to get it. Only to find that my car was then :

stupid car slid to the body of the road!

Okay la so long story short, I parked the car in front of other ppl's front door, the one without a landslide.

By the time I finished teaching, the neighbor was already banging the door and ringing the doorbell like crazy. So I made a dash for it and was ready to apologize.

It was a lady neighbor, a woman in her mid 30's, driving a fancy ass car with a scrolled down window and casually she said to me :

"Aci, beh hiao thak huana jee hioh?"

That literally translates to : "Eh miss, cannot read Indonesian language is it?"

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently, there's a stupid No Parking sign on the gate like this :

Ridiculously small , surely miss one

When she said that in all the casual tone thinking she's the new-age Socrates ,

I FELT SO VIOLATED WTF!!!

First, I was sorry that I caused trouble for like 5 minutes and maybe the lady had some ready-to -implode rash or herpes warts to tend lar that's why she was such in a hurry.

Second, I was ready to take a beating or two because honestly , who doesn't need an anger management class nowadays??

I mean, I use harsh language all the time and it's only fair to be at the receiving ends at times. It's so common that it has become the way I talk normally. So I know better to take it with a grain of salt or just to suck it. Like, who cares?

Third, there really is a big difference between sharp wits and being a crude ass.

I don't think that is how I would react when someone's blocking my doorway, even with itchy rash or warts. But then again, I never have them like she does so who am I to say.

Anyway, it was split-second, so I murmured "sorry" to an uptight-face uncle who was also waiting by the door and sped away. stupid wtf. What would you do???!!

Got angrier and thought of forming of alliance with my friends and egged her dead face so she no longer be so bitter and in constant state of misery.

But then again, I don't want to rob her happiness cause prolly that little act of hers brought joy to the family's table dinner. I bet she retold the story and all her sisters or kids cheered her on like that's the best thing that's ever happened to her in whole week.

And I take comfort in knowing that, in this tough harsh angry world, I am not that bitter and still have some decent common courtesy left. Thank you.

I hate my colleagues

2009-03-10T16:05:00.006+07:00

She : can I talk to you for a minute?
Me : ...
She : I just want to address you on some non-work thing.
Me : ...
She :I don't see a reason why you are so hostile& spiteful against me
Me : Uhm..
She : This is a workplace after all.
Me : ....
She : Did I do something to offend you?
Me : You don't have to do anything to make me not like you.
She: What are you saying?
Me : Your nose.
She: Sorry?
Me : You know what's bigger than your nostril?
She: Can you at least be civilized??!
Me : The pores on your nose.
She: You are the meanest person ever!
Me : They're like..HUGE!
She: You bitch!! * walks away crying*
Me : You bet. * resume working*

The above conversation is imaginary, unfortunately. Only the title part is every bit true.

I'm old

2009-03-02T11:00:00.028+07:00

I remember pulling a long face that afternoon.

You were almost an hour late from our supposed lunch date.

We always had so little time to ourselves that I sulked when you showed up that late. -__-

You kept asking if I was okay and I just kept to myself. Purposely torturing you with the sullen look, skipped lunch altogether and stayed quiet all the way home.

Had I known you were late because you were picking my birthday gift, I wouldn’t have been such a bitch!!! T_T.

I will forever be sorry for that shitty stunt I pulled and I sincerely apologize. This is a public apology you see.

I am sowee

And that I love the gifts. I love the surprises. And of course, I love you. You rock my world. Thank you. :)

Stupid Pink had to tell me all that and made me feel guilty. * grumble *

Anyway, she and other stupid shitheads surprised me a day before the birthday wtf! It's a horrifying sudden attack.

Talk about birthday “bash” huh.

I might be laughing but boy, I was pissed too!!

You lied to me!! T_T

But I’m grateful for the laughs. You all put up good efforts and fierce fights. Thanks, you guys.

So it’s only fair that the pre-birthday dinner was in order.

Hai paid for this! Have you said your thanks girls????!!

The girls actually said that they moved the birthday bashing a day earlier, so they could egg me all they wanted.

They just knew that we all wanted to dress up to the nines for the proper birthday dinner the next day.

Thank you all dolls

and guys

It went down with chilling out at Prime Bar. Totally my new favorite chill-out place.

we are pretending to be cool people

Everyone just let themselves go and have crazy silly mighty good times.

Simply said, FUNNEST Birthday Ever. Thanks loves.

Take a chic pill

2009-02-23T15:31:00.007+07:00

2009-02-16T16:06:00.004+07:00

In all the hard times and trouble,
how you remind us of all the good things in the world! :)

These boots..

2009-02-09T11:47:00.009+07:00

..are not made for walking.

thus the pained expression.

T_T so hurt.....

But i absolutely lurve them! The pain was all worth it somehow. Min helped me bought it on her last KL trip btw.

Pink was also wearing hers. What an excruciatingly painful weekend we had!

Let's step into these hells, she said

I was sure that these boots would draw attention that true to my words, heads were turned and few stared in disgust. Not that we care really.

Still it's fun to see how ppl notice!

Till the next fashion torture!!! C ya.

CNY - 2009

2009-01-30T14:49:00.030+07:00

It was two days prior to CNY. We decided to start it with a bang!

It's jolly good time. Friends all around!

It was to put a good end to the year of hard partying we had last year. So now that we put that all behind us, let's proceed to a less frowned-upon scene.

CNY is such the perfect time for friends gathering.

lousy shot -_-

our first couple picture!! nice.

As equally perfect time for family gathering.

baby's first CNY!

Mom so dreamy

Well, this was what I was wearing :)

No shots of Derrick's mom as she was recuperating from the bloody dengue fever, so she really wasn't at the top of her game. Shucks to be her. Huehue..

Anyway! More friends gathering

Not leaving behind office gathering! Every year we have this traditional CNY feast called Yuu Sang

As soon as we left the half-uptight people, I went on and met..

Lydia Agustina!!!

Pink kept on saying how she resembles Jordin Sparks haha

Me, Jordin Sparks, Irene and Derrick boy

We took her to another place and bumped into other friends. People sure come out and about during CNY!!

More friends gatherings ensued.

Moi, Hai, Singtel guy and Mery

I think our knees look weird

And that sums up the 2009 CNY.

Good year, everyone! ^_^

My new plaything

2009-01-22T15:40:00.004+07:00

This is just too fun!!

Major eye candies!!Crying-your-hear-out items!!! Super fashion-orgasm!! >_< Gyaaaaaa!!!!

I go by the nickname " Fran81" :)

Ps: My colleague just passed my desk and said " No wonder you always secretly fear kena fire"

2008

2008-12-27T12:11:00.033+07:00

It's been a good year for many reasons.

It's the year where my teaching career starts taking off.

It's not like it's soaring high really, but it is showing result or at least it's safe to say that I do get a car out of it ^^

Yippieeee..

Okay, I wasn't that happy. Pictures are for illustration purpose only, so that you get the gist.

2008 is also the year where the curse is broken. I am FINALLY in the " office trip" list.

Auntie pose

My colleagues used to joke how the annual office trip stopped right after I got accepted working.
I also don't know why but it just stopped, maybe due to one thing and another but they just put it all in my tab. Stupid. T___T

So, breaking the curse is good news.

This year too, my colleagues have lent me countless support in term of my work and my personal life.

Good good people

One particular person in the office who've helped me a great deal.

Us with make-up overdone

To say that Mei is my colleague would be an insult, cause she's so much more than that.

It's funny cause you never thought how the people whom you see everyday in the workplace for the past 3 years can be so influential and important when it comes to your own shit.

Okay sometimes they meddle too much but still, I couldn't ask for better work environment.

This year also has been a good year when it comes to people and friendships.

retards

Good friends are hard to come by

I love how they seriously listened to my stupid parking story haha

teaching and its perks, cute friends

and cute friends stay together

Niko, you da man

Last but certainly not least,

bff - Pink

I love how a new level of our friendship is unveiled this year. I LOVE LOVE LOVE spending time with her too much it's getting dangerous.

She's pretty. She's kind. She's there for me. She understands. She lets me be me. She's wise. Despite her foul mouth and curses, I just couldn't be thankful enough you know anot.. T_T

Blending well with my sisters, TOO WELL infact! haha.

I seriously dunno how I'd manage without her. I believe she's my good karma in the past.
I just hope she can say the same thing about me. So, thanks love.

Yay to the best of our friendship in the year 2009!!

Then there's him.

I was looking, I just didn't know you were so near =T__T=

I can't say for sure where this relationship is heading, but he is definitely one of the things that has made my year merrier.

And speaking of direction, I sincerely wish that it's somewhere good. Okay, but let's not wish too hard now. -__-

Thx for the lovely evening :)

Then there's my family.

I don't know anyone who looks this good past 90.

Family holds hands

2008 has been quite a tumultuous year for the family. Sigh~ 2009 hurry come and let things be okay

AND OF COURSE! 2008 is BEST because DERRICK IS HEREEEEE.

cuteness has a new face!
Sorry mommie ie-ie scares you a lot.

So there, 2008. Let's welcome another great year of 2009!!!

pretty much everyone I love and care about

ps. And I hope Na is coming back soon!!! Lydia too! Miss them both heaps.

Wishlist T__T

2008-12-18T15:54:00.008+07:00

Sony E-reader, as if the usual one is not drooling enough. They also got one in pink edition!!!!! T__T

Spotted this baby at Next for around 800k Rp. (₤25 on the internet) gasp!! T__T

Designer labels- Ankle boots.
I'll settle for some suay cheap rip-off, again T__T

Pink is obsessing this too, together now T__T

okay la, at least this one is quite affordable. Should have em by early 2009.

* Which one is more important? To satisfy a thousand desire or to conquer just one? *

Everyone's current obsession!

2008-12-09T15:02:00.010+07:00

OH.

MY.

GOD.

SWOON

SWOON

BEYOND WORDS.

How mainstream of me. Just totally cannot help it. Die.

The sisterhood

2008-12-03T15:58:00.002+07:00

I miss the old times.

I miss the old homes.

I miss waking up and there were people.

I miss the time when I got home and there were people.

I miss the chattering voices of those people.

I miss laughing. At them or with them. Preferably at them.

I miss making fun or mocking the subject of the moment. Mostly Min. or Na.

I miss being obligated or having to explain things.

I miss talking back or arguing and having the last word.

I miss requesting help, asking for lift, or food. Maybe a midnite chat or two.

I miss sharing beds and laughter watching TV.

I miss silly dance moves.

I miss taking turns using the bathroom each morning.

I miss shopping together. Not so for waiting Na who took her sweet damn time though.

I miss long dinnertime when our butts were attached cause we just couldn't get enough of the home-cooked food.

This is irrelevant but I miss home-cooked food. T__T

I miss just knowing you were there. Upstairs. Downstairs. Around.

I miss taking things for granted.

I miss each time we shared.

I miss us..... T______T

Desert Island

2008-11-26T16:49:00.021+07:00

Desert Island is this game asking people what items they would take with them to a deserted island.

Like for example :

My desert island Dvds ( among many)

Then for my desert Island read, I was thinking of taking the usual heavy read,

until I realize how boring that would be!!

So I prefer these instead.

Super thick girl magazine of the latest edition of the month I got stranded

But when it comes to guy friends, I have several in mind who would probably make a good desert island companion and few who’d make a lousy friend.

So here goes,

I shall not disclose names, but these are ( or were) dear people no matter what :

guy #1:

Okay, let’s see. He’s younger, but we do share a lot in common. I refer to him as my “brah” (as in brother brah not underwear brah, although he does provide good support and comfort from time to time hehe).

It is understood that we got each other’s back and I’m pretty sure I’d like to be stranded with him in a deserted island.

Verdict : No romance, friendship purely. (8/10).

guy #2:

There’s a lot of physical attraction with him. He’s tall so he probably could reach for that coconut tree any minute. It’d be oh so romantic!!

On the other hand, we'd have pretty much nothing to talk about, like we’re on different wave length from time to time. So I guess, that rules him out of a good desert island companion :<

Verdict : If only.... (6/10)

guy #3:

My smile just lights up by the thought of him lerr. He’s easy to be with, very giving, dependable and very generous.

It might take some time for us to really hit it off, but given the time and effort, he'd be one of the sweetest guy ever. So it’s safe to say that he’s definitely a desert island material.

Verdict : A dessert in desert :) (9/10)

guy #4:

He’s hilarious to a point he could make me pee my pants just by a line or two. I think we’d spend major fun time bitching while lying on the beach having our skin tanned.

I’m pretty sure he’d be just as much fun in times of misery. But I might have to listen to him bitch and whine and nag when we ran out of food too. So..

Verdict : Lotsa FUN bitchslapin goin on. (7/10)

guy #5:

He’s a dear friend of mine. Shame that it’s no longer the case. I can’t really imagine how things would be like if we were stranded just the two of us.

I’d like to think that we’d still have just as much fun and compatibility in killing time and maybe one or two bugs. Yea I’d like that to happen very much, just for the fun of it ( :

Verdict : Nostalgic rendezvous (8/10)

guy #6:

He’s definitely dependable. Also quite well-built and good looking. A dear old friend.

He wouldn’t rock my world but we’d talk one or two times out of courtesy. I’d probably end up popping one or two kids of his just because. He’s great though, it’s just..you know.

Verdict : A flat out life ( 5/10)

guy #7:

We’d be stranded. He’d go east. I’d go south. Nothing whatsoever.

Verdict : Serve no purpose ( 0/10)

guy #8:

I just got to know this guy. He's new so we’d be stranded and we’d talk all day and night long. I’d be secretly swoon and smitten too I think. * blush*. Not sure how it would go once the chemistry is worn out though.

He’also a bit wen rou so I might have to be the one bringing home the bread for the both of us. Sigh ~

Verdict : Might have to think about it (5.5/10)

guy #9:

He’s a baby. Literally.

huh??!

I really really wish I could spend more time with him, but it's a deserted island!! So for his own sake , better not.

look at that faceeee

If you think he's cute, you should see his san-ie

Verdict : Too cute to be true ( no score. He’s the perfect 10 in everything anyway) :)

guy #10:

Okay the celebrity desert island companion. And also cause 10 is an even number. Me and my minor OCD. ( or CDO , so that the alphabets are in order ).

#10 guy either is :

Edward Norton!! Swoon-quality!!

Woody Harrelson. Howdy!!

Aiyohhhh...Old Love Blossom Again with Jay Chou

or I can just bring all em three mighty fine guys with me wheeeeeee!!!

The list could go on! So I’ll wrap it up.

Fun ^^

Lessons Learnt

2008-11-20T09:44:00.004+07:00

Misery comes only when you welcome it and stays like an unwanted guest only if you let it.

Life is about choices. You can either befriend that misery or say GOOD RIDDANCE to it.

There are countless ways to be happy or sad. Some people cannot handle the gap between the emotions, but practice will get you there.

There’s nothing wrong with being numb to feelings. It doesn’t make you bitter, just wiser.

Life is already hard as it is. Be kind to yourself if life doesn’t give you the slack.

Stop seeking, contentment comes from within.

There is no other half. You are whole as you are. When the right person comes along, he/ she will be the perfect extension to your well-being.

When you have yourself wholly, no one can take that away.

Everything centers back to YOU. This is not being selfish, just smart.

Even so, do listen to people, if they are stupid you get free entertainment. If they do know better, you get free lesson.

Nothing is like what it seems. Sometimes it could be worse, other times it could be better. So you might as well stop guessing.

Don’t pull your hair out over a problem. You have a lifetime to fix the problem, but probably not the hair.

Just because this is how a thing is USUALLY done, doesn’t mean it is how it SHOULD be done.

There IS a BIG FAT LINE between kindness and stupidity. If you don’t see it, then maybe you are stupid.

If pain is a disease and time is the medicine, you’re still the hand to put two and two together and heal yourself. You’re your own doctor.

The less time you need to heal, the better. Long duration can be so over-rated.

Being hung up over a person is SO LAST YEAR. Puhleaseee, get over yourself!!
