met pet in the evening for dinner and i was dressed like super casually.
the theme i set for today is act young!
even 出动 this casio watch which i haven't been wearing for some time.

i sort of forced pet to agree that i looked very young today.
hahahaha.
some sort of 变态.



check out my toe nails!
i think they look so good with the neon yellow-green slippers i wore out today!
very striking, don't you agree?

anyhow, we must checked out my new favourite store, ZARA!
duh???!
i'm like liking this white dress which i still can't decide if it's worth the money.

pet said it looks nice..
winnie said so too, i think.

[sunya, i just emailed you the photo of the dress! check it out k?]

lastly, i finally checked out the makeup forever hd blush in sephora.
asked the MA how i was to apply the blush because i thought it dries up a tad too fast for me to blend.

i told her that i had #2 and she went "oh.. that's a bit dark for you."

after looking at my makeup,
she went again "are you wearing it now?"

*nod*

"oh.. it's pretty nice!"

hahaha.
OF COURSE!
no doubt i find it a little hard to blend,
but i still can make things work!

hahaha.



here's how the blush looks like after the MA added more blush to my face.
not too bad right?
not as red beyond use as you thought it would be right, sunya?

i'm definitely going to use it and not just chunk it aside!


p/s: craving for honey lemon!
but i have no lemon at home, so i just have to make do with honey.
= =

i tell you.
the moment i got back, sunya told me what happened to jay chou.
this idiotic asshole claimed that she had some "special relationship" with him.

she went on this tw show called 梁陈即时 dated 24th may to 澄清 and stuff.
but she just ended up making things worse.
i saw the show and immediately typed a super long email to sunya, cursing her like hell.

事情有这么巧吗?
人家刚刚发专辑, 你就爆了这个新闻.
还是两年前的事..
两年前的事为什么不在两年前说?

既然你觉得那么不舒服,
报警啦!

人家一年一张的专辑就因为你的新闻全被盖过.
还被你说到好相是some kind of 无赖.

你还有脸在电视上说你没有在抄作新闻, 说的都是事实.
还边说边哭, 一幅好像超级委屈的样子.
我看你是想红到不惜一切踩人的头往上爬.

我只能说你实在是不要脸.
连记者都不相信你的话.
大家只是在看你到底可以掰到什么程度罢了.

贱货!

i'm back from my hong kong trip.
this time round winnie and i joined bacca and her friends for this trip.
it wasn't exactly SUPER fun, but it was alright.

and.
the shopping ROCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
i reckon i've never shopped this hard before.

the downsides of shopping?
super duper sore ankles and empty wallets!

alright, i can't exactly say i bought a lot of stuff.
but i surely spent quite a bit.
and when i say shopping rocks big time,
it doesn't mean i've got to buy every single item i fancy right?
i don't have the money anyway.

so..
here's the majority of my haul after 5 days in hong kong.



in order to make up for not having gotten a new bag for 1.5yrs,
i got 2 in a week!
MEGA SHIOKNESS!!!



I LOVE BAGSSSSSSS!!!!!
THEY ARE MY LIFE!!

anyhow, my neverfull is already turning brown, as in the leather part.
damn shit.
after only 1 day of carrying it.

and.
best part is.
one of the straps at the sides got wanton mee sauce on it.
wth right?

well.. the stain sort of got cleared up.
but, there's this black mark on the bag.
no idea what.

haha.
my poor neverfull...
to go through all these only after 2 days of usage.
super sway.

but.
it's alright...
no big deal.
*shrug*

as for the longchamp bag.
gosh!
i've got sooo much to share!

if you're into longchamp, then this is one store you should NOT miss when in hong kong.
their bags are dirt cheap there!

eg: a regular large tote with long handles cost about $280 here, but only $191 in hong kong.
dirt cheap not?!!!!

to make things even more worth it,
sogo was having their thankful week when we went.
so the longchamp store got these special limited edition bags for the event.

again.
DIRT CHEAP!

the one i got is a silverish grey colour and it's only about $165.
limited edition?
no idea if these prints are available here in sg.

mega plus point?
it's made in france!!
not mic okay!



honestly, i'm a lot more excited about my new longchamp bag compared to neverfull.
the colour is so unique!



even paired it with a mickey mouse bag charm [actually it's meant to be a bracelet] which i got from the disney store at the airport.

sunya said it's damn chio!
hahaha.
mega happy!

anyhow, there was also this range of bags which are somewhat in between the small and big, short handles kind we have in sg.
that is a size which we would not get here and it's damn chio!!
didn't get that because i was mad broke.
regretting like crazy now!

oh.
this hong kong trip also made me realise how heavenly zara is.
hahaha!
i HARDLY step into zara in sg.
but from now on, i shall!

in case you are wondering,
i actually didn't buy much cosmetics.
spent the bulk of my money on bags.
remember??

only got a drugstore eyeliner, a laura mercier undereye concealer and a box of falsies.
that's all.
surprised ba?

next.
one thing that happened that really made me damn sad is this.



WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN!!!
and it's my FAVOURITEST mac blush somemore.
super heartache!!!!!!

oh well........
*sigh*

alright.
i shall blog about the trip again if the photos turn out to be alright and if i've got the time.
yeup.

ending off with two more photos.



at apm where winnie and i just couldn't get out of this shop called ans.
we were TRAPPED in it!!!
their stuff were crazily chio and cute!



taken in the hotel room.
checked out my messy hair.
couldn't be helped.
it was a super busy shopping day that day with so many shopping bags on hands.

conclusion is i love hong kong.
it's such a shopping paradise/ heaven!
i definitely want to go back there for more shopping!
it's real shiokness to go all the way out and spend your money!

went for manicure and perdicure today.





see.
that's sephora by opi metro chic!
CHIO!

except that my nails are mad short.
*argh*



opi what's with the cattitude and orge-the-top blue from the shrek forever after collection.
my toe nails are looking real dumb.

met up with muay fan today and she passed me this skin 79 gold bb cream to try.
so going to try it right tomorrow.
but the colour does look a little gross.
it's like greyish brown.

i'm off now.
got approximately 2.5 hours to sleep.
wth...

no idea why there are fireworks over at jb as i'm typing now.
to celebrate my bro's birthday?
haha.

yesh.
it's his birthday today and his sis is like mad sick.
BOO.

i think it's going to get worse tmr especially when i just had a super huge slice of his ice cream cake.

anyhow, i think it must be the tangs sale i went to yesterday.
it was mad crowded.
and after being in there for maybe an hour, i told pet that i was literally going to puke if we didn't get out of the place soon.
it felt exactly like i've been made to wait for someone for very long.

serious.
i'm not crapping but i really do feel like puking if i've got to wait for very long, say 30 minutes?
i suppose it might be the same as being car sick.

so moral of the story is please don't make me wait too long.
you can't blame me if my face turned black because you just made me feel damn unwell.

digressed enough.

got out of the crowd without buying a single item.
and ended up being sick and going to the doctor.
how fab right?

damn.
i better recover soon.
by soon, i mean in 3 days time.

SHOOT!!!
*roll eyeballs and flutter eyelashes*

if i had to choose a song that i like by jolin.
it has to got to be 布拉格广场.
duh?

met up with pet last night in town.
and that's not after she waited for me for perhaps 2 hours?
oops.

i couldn't help that when i ended work like an hr later than her and i was like stuck in bukit timah.
damn the super slow moving traffic.

anyhow, i'm so proud that i didn't buy a SINGLE item yesterday.
but.
i may caved in next wed because of the tangs closed door sale.
but then again, if i do buy something,
it would most likely be my bro's birthday present.

talking about birthday.
today is my uncles' birthday.
they are fraternal twins btw.

so ma asked me to sms one of them, ah huat jiu jiu.
and here's the msg which i find mad funny because it's so dumb!

"happy birthday! tonight ah ma cook curry and bee hoon for you! haha."

dumb not?
i bet when i tell winnie and bacca later,
we will laugh like mad together.

oh.
we're going to daiso later!
super long never go liao!


p/s:
i'm OBSSESSED.
with that lang lang playing chopin waltz video.
i've watched it not less than 20 times,
and listened to that piece not less than 30 times separately.
just feel so damn alive when listening to the piece!

so enthusiastic am i that i went to the library and borrowed this book "朗朗 千里之行: 我的故事".
damn.
now i have got like 3 books on hand to finish reading!

anyhow.
here's something to share.
i think i shared it with muay fan before.

given that you can choose simply any kind of jobs in the world without considering whether you're skilled/ capable enough or if you're being paid trucks of gold or just peanuts,
what would you choose?

for me, i would choose to work as a performer in an symphony orchestra.
preferably a pianist or a cellist.
that's really what i truly wished was my occupation.

are you surprised by my choice?
ha.

give it some thoughts.
what would you like to be if there aren't such things called restrictions?

today i read an article about lang lang.
so i came back and sort of googled for his stuff.

anyhow.
for those of you who don't know him, he's a real famous pianist.
and steinway and sons even designed lang lang pianos alright?!
[fyi: steinway and sons is an american and german manufacturer of handmade pianos and their pianos are mad expensive.]

i know he came to sg to perform a few years back,
but by the time i knew of his existance, the concert was already over.
though i doubt i would be able to get the tickets even if i knew of it beforehand.

as to how i knew about him was through rosy.
she went for the concert and said it was damn good.
if i'm not wrong, he played the flight of the bumblebee song.



here's a video of him playing Chopin's Waltz Brilliante Op. 34, No. 1 in A Flat Major.




here's a video of him playing Liebestraum by Liszt.
i assure you this is a difficult piece.

and i secretly think that Liszt had got huge hands and mega long fingers.
my hands are not big enough/ fingers are not long enough to play certain notes in there.

i have to stretch them like crazy!

oh.
guess what?
my bro had his braces removed after having them on for approximately 1.5 years.
that's fast isnt it?

anyhow.
it sucks now that his teeth are the straightest in the family.
not fair since it's "artificial"!
hahaha!

i'm JEALOUS!
can't you tell?!

also, i just received my card in the mail.
damn fast!
i thought it was going to take like 2 weeks for it to be processed and stuff.

i just remembered something!
the other day i tried mcdonald's cinnamon melts because bacca's friend said it was nice.
and it is indeed nice.

so do try it if it's still on the menu.
it's damn nice when served hot!
but.
it can be a tad on the sweet side.

lastly.
i'm tempted to buy SK II whitening source transform foundation.
it's seems so good!
all that pitera nonsense..

but then...
i've never used a compact foundation before because i don't exactly like the sound/ idea of it.

perhaps get their facial treatment advanced protect loose powder uv instead?
what a mouthful for a loose powder.


countdown: 12 more days!

HAUL!!
these are things that are getting me through the week.

it's like as long as i get new stuff,
i wouldn't have uncontrollable cravings or urges to shop.

basically i bought the nivea sun sunscreen.
yes.
now i'm moving on to applying sunscreen on my hands.
it seems like i'm really getting darker.
super irritating!

anyway, the one i got is spf 30 and has PA++.
also, it has this collagen protect thing which supposedly protects your skin's collagen to help prevent wrinkles caused by frequent sun exposure.
cool right?!

i've tried it for 2 days and i kinda like the smell [if there is any].
the major plus point is that it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky after application.

i can forsee myself getting addicted to this.
haha.

next.
i got house rules by jodi picoult.
initially i wanted to lend it to winnie, who was interested in the book as well, first because i thought i wouldn't have the time to read it.

but now.
i'm sort of hooked on it.
that explains why i haven't been online these days.
busy with work and the book.

my only complaint is i wish it was smaller and more portable for me to bring around.

next up are items sunya got for me!
as mentioned, i met up with ludi last thursday to get the stuff.
and i must say she's pretty nice.

ha.

the most unbelievable thing is she told sunya that i've got very good skin.
hahahahaha!
not i say one okay!
i'm merely quoting ludi!

anyhow.
back to the stuff from sunya.

[[ one ]]



makeup forever hd blush in 02 aka raspberry.
mm.. say hi to my fifth blush!

this should be launching here in sg in the next half of the year.
learnt about this online and was scrambling to look for reviews and swatches.
but the thing is this is such a relatively new product in the states that there was hardly reviews and swatches available.

took real long to decide on the shades because there are like at least 14 shades available i think.
after consulting muay fan, i decided to go for raspberry because the colour sounds fun.
hahaha!

and this is meant to be my birthday present!
so sweet!!!

sunya said that this shade is so red till she thinks i can just store it in my collection.
i must say i did get a bit of a shock when i swatched this.
it's DAMN pigmented.

nvm.
here's a good chance to put my blush application skill to test!
actually i did try it out today.
with the mac 188 which muay fan bought for me.
and the colour is soooo uber nice!


[[ two ]]

sephora by opi in metro chic.
this is the HG [holy grail] nail colour of so many beauty gurus online!
and i was sold when i saw the swatches!

damn nice.

but.
again.
sunya totally didn't get what i see in it.
neither did ludi and sunya's another friend.

oh well!

click HERE for swatches.

i'm in that '我不舍得用' mode.
which explains why i have yet to open it.
going to bring it along for my next manicure session!


[[ three ]]

the surprise present turned out to be a keychain from vancouver 2010 olympic and paralympic winter games!

ludi gave me two to choose and i chose the monkey with ear muffs.
hahaha!

guess what?
when i called sunya that day, she asked which one i picked.

i: you guess?
sunya: the monkey one?
i: how u know??!!!
sunya: because that one is cuter!!!

hahahaha!
it's really damn cute!
perhaps it can pair with my melody keychain?

yesh.
that's about all for now.
these two weeks are just mad crazy for me.
so much so i totally forgot about counting down.

nvm.
let's countdown now.
13 more days!

YES!
i finally managed to contact ludi and we're meeting tmr!!!!
super excited!

how can i not get excited?!
especially when she's bringing me things that aren't available in sg.

just a little clue.
one is something we totally won't get here and the other is new in US and won't be launched in sg yet.

as for the present, i've yet to guess what it is.
so let's wait for tmr!

anyhow, muay fan read online that sephora is bringing in nars.
that is a god damn piece of great news for me!
at least i can just take my time to decide what i really want instead of having that '宁可杀错, 不可放过' mentality when i go to their counters overseas.

but.
to play safe.
i shall call ALL the sephoras to triple confirm tmr.

he's honestly the singer whom i've been loving the longest.
i don't exactly care what others say about him,
i just like the way he is.

whenever anyone makes negative comments about him,
i'll just go "itz? oh... mmm.."
after which, i will just delete all those that i've heard.

don't worry.
i wouldn't get angry or anything.
because i would delete those negative comments i heard automatically.
remember?

haha!

damn.
i just remembered that i need to send in the application form for my card like tmr.
need it to be working before the last week of may man!

HOW COULD I FORGET??
something this important!
SHOOT!

*curse like mad*

also, i totally forgot about mother's day and my bro's bdae?
oh man.
really in deep shit.
especially when i'm working like a dog now.

whatever.
they can all jolly be BELATED.
like WAY~~~~ belated.

sunya emailed me and told me that she googled for donnie yen.
because she didn't know that donnie yen is 甄子丹.
so she was like wondering who is this donnie yen..

= =
now you know..
haha.

anyhow, she also told me that she got ludi to pass me a small present, along with the 2 items which i got her to buy for me in canada.

wooo...
how small?
this small or that small?

hahaha.

speaking of this.
i can't stand nars.
honestly.

like freaking wtf.
its website has got 6 shades of blush and bronzing duo and i BADLY want the one in orgasm/ laguna!!

BUT.
sunya checked her local sephora stores and this duo is FOREVER out of stock and FOREVER coming in SOON.
like how soon is soon man??
it's been like months already can!!??

to make things worse,
i can't find it online.
neither can i find it in japan.
it seems as though everywhere only carries this one and only shade called hungry heart.

*mega pissed off*

i guess in the meantime i can only pray like crazy that sunya's local sephora will stock up on the duos soon.
and also, get myself entertained with the stuff she got for me.

iff.
i manage to meet up with ludi soon.
hopefully within this week.

off to bed now.
anio~


p/s: sunya, please stop calling him houhou.
it's mega gross!!
hahaha!

this is going to sound crazy.
but i'm really MAD over donnie yen.
hahaha!!

till the extent that i treated my family to the movie.
and ma is also mesmerised by him.
hahahaha!

like muay fan said...
he's the next uncle miao.
please call him uncle yen!

oh.
bai baba and ma are watching the 1st ip man movie now.
we sort of watched it over at ah ma's house earlier in the day.
ha.

uncle yen is SOOOOOOOO~~~~~~ CHARMING!
