Happy Chinese New Year all the way from Canada to family and friends! :)

Though we're not Chinese, eheh!

Current song on repe..pe..pe..pe..peat

2012-01-13T21:57:00.001-08:00

I wake up dancing to this song! Urgh get it out of my mind already.

And it didn't help to see how cute Neymar and Ronaldo looked like when they danced to this. Not that I think they are good looking though. I never see Ronaldo as a handsome man. Eh off topic. Ok bye.

Get your freak on tag. :)

2012-01-10T13:46:00.000-08:00

Since I'm stressed out and I'm bored, and I'm hungry (waiting for my rice to cook), I decided to do this Get Your Freak On tag. I think the name is kinda cheesy but whatever. Let's get straight to the questions.

1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?

-This is easy. It's Abby. Originally it was baby. That's what they called me when I was little since I'm the youngest in the family but as I got older, I got embarrassed when my friend knew I was called Baby so I told my family to call me Abby and they still do till now.

2. What's a weird habit of yours?

-I never pay attention to this kind of stuff. But I guess, my weird habit would be sleeping with my hands under my butt when it's winter time. Lol.

3. Do you have any weird phobias?

-Yes I do. For me, being afraid of the dark is normal cause you suddenly lose your ability to see things clearly but I am really really scared of the thought of me being in a room with a lot of balloons. And I am also scared to touch them. They are just these skin like thing that would pop anytime. I would sweat like a pig if I had to touch a balloon. So friends, note, if you are throwing me a birthday party, get me helium balloons instead. Or hang the balloons up, JUST DON'T LET THEM FLOAT AROUND like little monsters. Urgh.

4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast and belt out when you're alone.

-I honestly would just blast and belt out any song at any time I want. No secret over there. But if I had to choose, I would say for now, Katy Perry The One that Got Away, not blasted secretly though.

5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?

-I have a few in my mind right now. But I guess one of the biggest would be when someone coughs or sneezes without covering their nose or mouth if they are sitting/standing/squatting/or is doing whatever NEAR ME.

6. What's one of your nervous habits?

-When I get nervous, I play with my hair a lot. But that's not the big one. Emmm okay, when I get nervous, I try to act cool. Lol. Is that valid?

7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

-Any side, really.

8. What's your first stuffed animal & it's name?

-Ahhh this is sad cuz I can't remember my first stuffed animal. I wasn't really into them. I was really into those long pillows that are so so so huggable.

9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks.

-It used to be Caramel Frappucino/Caramel Macchiato but now whenever I go to Starbucks, I tend to order their Green Tea Frappucino. Oh and, I don't like Starbucks that much. I've had coffees from other cafes that are much much better. But yeah.

10. What's the beauty rule you preach but never actually practice?

-To steam my face. I used to do this consistently. But now, I am too lazy to go through all the hassle.

11. Which way do you face in the shower?

-All way around but most of the time, I would face the shower head and not let the hot water get to my hair so much cuz hot water can dry up hair.

12. Do you have any weird body skills?

-NO and absolutely no, unfortunately.

13. What's your favourite comfort food/food that's bad but you love to eat anyways?

-Ahhh do we really wanna go there? I eat unhealthy food all the time. If I were to list, I think I'd list all of the food that I mostly eat. But to choose one, I'd say chocolates.

14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say?

-Oh well and really?, and also, yeah.......

15. Time to sleep - what are you actually wearing?

-Some loose t-shirts with my sweatpants/shorts.

So that's it. I tag all of you to do this! :)

Awesome getaway. Now back to school.

2012-01-07T21:15:00.000-08:00

I just got back from my Winter break trip where I went to few places including Washington DC and New York. And yes, I did get to watch the ball drop during New Year at Times Square. But honestly, it wasn't worth the crowd. I expected more! Turned out, the ball just got lowered few metres along the pole. Errrr, ok.

Anyways, I had the greatest time. And special thanks to all who made this trip very wonderful. I am now back in Fredericton. Shall be posting pictures of the trip soon. But I'm still in my lazy mood so don't expect much. Lols.

As far as shopping goes, I didn't buy any, ANY, makeup at all. I did go to Sephora on 5th ave New York but I just couldn't think of anything. And I've kinda already promised myself that I would at least use up half of the makeups in my collection before splurging on them again. And to use half of them up is gonna take me a long time. Bak kata my friend, "puasa make up".

But I did get a lot of clothing pieces and I really really love them. I got some of the high end ones at super cheap prices. And my favourite purchase of the trip is this one Zara pants I got. It was on sale and it was exactly the kind of pants that I have been looking for. Love!

I didn't get myself any pair of heels, cuz I own a lot of them already and no boots as well. Because, I got a pair of Dr Martens earlier before holiday started and I have few more pairs so I think I have enough boots in my collection. But I did get one pair of glittery Oxfords which I usually wouldn't go for but someone convinced me they look nice. And I honestly am loving them! Too bad it's winter now.

Well I guess I shall end the post here and come back with pictures rather than just typing out every image that's popping out in my mind right now.

Back to school sucky school. Blurgh.

Exam, Winter trip etc.

2011-12-10T16:50:00.000-08:00

Whoa that was a long absence. I'm so busy with school and other more important stuff that I wasn't inspired to write or put anything up on this blog.

Now finals are finally here. I'll be done with exams soon, and my flight is the day after my last paper. Hopefully all will go well and I'll have the best time during my trip :)

I'll be getting a new camera, well actually it's already arrived, just not at my address (someone decided that it should be sent to him heh). So I'll be taking lots and lots of pictures and videos in the States later on.

I cannot wait for New York and Washington!

As for now, I will have to bear with my stress level. I am so tired.

I had my first paper last night at 7pm and since winter is approaching, it gets dark really early, almost around 5pm. I stayed at school yesterday from morning till the paper ended which was at 10pm. As soon as I got home, I literally threw up cause I was so tired, my stomach was so empty, and my brain just couldn't take it anymore.

I was studying non-stop from morning. I only had 30minutes break before the exam started to get a coffee.

I slept my ass off and when I woke up this morning, the realization that I have 5 more deadly exams made me feel like puking.

Sigh. Engineering school sucks the life out of me.

But this will all be over soon. And they say, how much rewards you get is how much effort you give.

So, insyaAllah it will be worth it. :)

Goodluck everyone, be kind to one another (overdose from Ellen).

I would make you stay.

2011-11-19T20:09:00.001-08:00

In another life, I would be your girl.

We keep all our promises, be us against the world.

My first pair of Dr Martens.

2011-11-19T17:54:00.000-08:00

So, fall is now ending and winter is approaching. As much as I hate cold, I am actually loving winter this year. Cuz winter in Fredericton is not as bad as in Edmonton. So I love bundling up and feeling all warm and cozy with thick fluffy jackets and scarves! :D
I had few boots from last year. I have a wedges boots, that I wore almost everyday last winter. I had this sexy cowboy boots witn 2 inches heels which is really not practical for everyday use, but I wear them sometimes, depending on the occasions. I have this black leather knee high boots which I also wore so many times last winter. Due to the winter condition in Alberta, icy roads, snow to the height of my ankle and etc, those boots are too worn out. So I was thinking that I need to get a new one for this year, and hopefully something that I can use next year too. I wanted something comfortable cuz my uni is built along a hill! So students need to go up the hill to get to classes, so heels are not my options. I mean I could, but I didn't want to. I just wanted to be as comfortable as I can. Cuz I have labs where I would go outdoor, measure elevation of ground with GPS, all that engineering shiz, so wearing heels while doing that? Not gonna last me 30 mins.

After days and days thinking whether I should get an UGG or Docs, I finally decided that I was getting a pair of purple Docs! :D

So, I came home and found my Docs on the floor. How did I get it? Let's not go there. They were there, in my bedroom and let's leave it just like that :)

Dr Martens in Violet

So yeaaah, I'm so happy. I only got to wear them once since it's not that cold yet here. Buuuut, can't wait to rock them this winter!

My long lost passion.

2011-11-14T20:14:00.001-08:00

It's been a looooooooong time since I last wrote about make-ups! I'm not as obsessed as I was anymore. Guess why?

Other than the fact that we don't have Sephora in Freddy, I actually wear less makeup now. I don't know why. Maybe I have come to a phase that I couldn't bother much with makeups. But I still love them. I still own lots of them, thanks to my old habit of collecting makeups -__-

So, I present you my everyday makeup routine. :)

Disclaimer : I don't use the same products everyday, it differs sometimes, but these are what I use most of the time.

Starting with sunscreen, of course, then ;

-covering all the imperfections with MAC NC35 concealer

-even out skintones with foundation (depends on the day)

-my bestfriend, CoverGirl mascara

-my second bestfriend, blush (usually Bella Bamba from Benefit or the cheap one from NYC)

-my bff, lol, Lipstick (typically Kinda Sexy from MAC, but I change up my lipstick colour often)

and if I feel like dolling up a lil bit more, I'll just

-do my brows with GOSH eyebrow pencil

-do my eyes with subtle smokey makeup on using my Too Faced palette

-LOREAL black eyeliner, usually winged

I don't put on eyeshadows that often just because I'm always in a hurry. My class starts early in the morning, and I don't want to wake up so early, so I decided to cut down some time for makeup. I normally just do concealer, foundation, and blush on my lazy days. And add some lipstick while walking to school hehe!

So yeah! Sephora, we'll meet again in December!

Hopeless.

2011-11-08T11:07:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I wonder is this all going to be worth it in the end. If all of this is going to actually bring me somewhere. Is it going to bring me to a good place? Here and hereafter?

And the only answer I can see now is blank.

That's not even a valid answer.

Have you ever feel like what you're doing is against what you really want to do? It's against what your heart tells you to do. And you're not doing what you like to do is not because you don't know how to do it, or you have no way of doing it, it's there, in front of you. You just got to grab it and go along. Even things go wrong, at least you have the things you love to go through it with you.

And most people are too scared of risks, too scared of given chances, too scared of what if's, including myself.

I need to get out. I need to know new people who actually know how to speak intelligence, and by intelligence I mean from heart not from brain. Who actually understand that this world is just temporary and most importantly people who care.

I'm too scared to make my own choices, too scared to wing it.

I'm just playing it safe, not touching the water by staying still on the shoreline. Shoreline ain't going to bring me anywhere interesting.

But then again, the ocean can drown me despite all of the beauty it offers.

Hopeless.

Winter-a-coming.

2011-11-05T09:29:00.001-07:00

Life's been pretty much flat. And it's November, how fast time flies.

I am so looking forward to my Winter trip. :)

As I'm writing this, I can smell my roommate cooking some Celery soup or something, so hungryyy. Need to get out of bed and make some food.

Anyways, we're (not mentioned for security purpose lol) going to New York for New Year yeay! And before that, we're gonna make a quick stop of 2 days in Washington and go check out the museum where A Night at the Museum takes place. Such nerds -_-' of course, we're gonna do other fun stuff as well!

Anyways, I hope it would be so much fun.

Until that, I just have to bear with heaps of assignment and school work.

And, I should probably start going to the gym, or recreation class or something. My body is flucked up. Need to sweat more since it's Winter and the only time I sweat is when I...............................never?

Lol.

Superwoman!

2011-10-15T10:24:00.000-07:00

It's amazing how things change. I used to wake up 1 hour and 30minutes before class just to get ready, that only includes shower, hair, makeup. If I'm lucky sometimes, I'd be able to grab some breakfast and eat it on the way.

But now, I remember there was this one day, I woke up one hour before class, and I managed to do my laundry, cook Seafood Fried Rice, get ready (makeup etc.), and eat my two slices of Grilled Cheese and drank hot Nescafe. And I did all that in less than 45 freaking minutes.

What am I? Have I been gifted superpower or something?

Teee....heeeeeeee!

Me gusta mucho!

Murderer.

2011-10-05T06:49:00.000-07:00

I don't wanna be the reason why.

Who knows.

2011-10-04T07:56:00.000-07:00

Am I blogging regularly again? Is it that boring in Fredericton? Nooo, it's not THAT boring. It's boring because I have a lot of work to do, and when I'm not doing school work, I'd like to immerse myself with my own stuff, like this lil comfort zone of mine a.k.a this blog. If you've been reading, you'd know I was crazy about Youtube (make-up channels), TV series ( PLL, GossipGirl, HIMYM etc.) but I lost interest in them, FOR NOW. Maybe because I can't afford to follow them and still managing to complete my school work. It's just too much. Never in my life I feel so tired because of school, like this year. I have no idea why. Oh wait, I do know why, because I happily screwed the first two school years of mine. Yeayy to myself.

My transcript is pretty much fucked up, so all left to do during my job interviews after graduation is just to use my charm (if there's any) to beg for the company to hire me.

Who would wanna hire an engineer who obviously put more effort on dolling up than actually designing projects? Har har har.

Well, you're wrong. I love designing.

I love the whole process, it's amazing to see how incredible those Civil Engineers do their work. I'm gonna be one of them someday. You're gonna see a masterpiece of my creation somewhere. Maybe a mosque. Yes, I would love to design a mosque.

Or, maybe not. Maybe I'll end up being a big boutique owner.

Or maybe I'll end up having my own make up line, SimplyDiane. LOL.

Well. who knows what God has planned for me, I just know that it would be the best thing because He knows what's best.

And for now, I'll just tell myself not to give up in anything I do.

Hooray for the random post. Gonna go have lunch now, toodles!

Back to school.

2011-09-30T20:50:00.000-07:00

Oh look who's back. That was a super long hiatus, heh.

I had a great, amazing, awesome summer, hence the absence.

I told you before and I will tell you again, if I'm rarely on the internet, it means that I'm actually having fun in my real life.

So yep, as you guessed, here I am to the same ol' Fredericton, it's just the same thing, only slightly better as we have now moved to a new spacious house, and I finally have my own room.

And school. School is school. Engineering school sucks. Everyone knows that, but hey I'm still alive. I have labs that end at 5.30pm 4 days a week, and classes start at 8.30 in the morning everyday. Every week, I have 4 reports that are about 10-11 pages long each to be handed in. And about 3 written assignments, and 1 online assignment. And I have 2 online courses to deal with. Nice ey?

Now, I would willingly slap anyone in the face who says that I don't have a life. Because it's true, I don't have a life when school starts.

...................................but that's alright. I am honestly totally fine with this.

I am actually glad that I'm doing this. I don't feel like I'm wasting time. I feel like I always have something to do, yes, it gets tiring but at least I feel good about myself to know that I am actually working hard in school.

That's my way of patting myself in the back.

And it's weekend now. The only time I get to sleep more, and wake up late than usual. The only time I get to rest. The only time I don't have to rush to finish my homework. The only time I get to breathe. I'm not kidding.

I'm always thinking about what assignments do I hand in tomorrow? What lab do I have today? Do I have to bring the labcoat tomorrow? When's the due date for the online assignment? Do I email my prof the assignment, or do I hand in the hardcopy? and it goes on and on and on.

And here, it's super fussy. If you forgot to hand in ONE assignment, that's it, you failed the whole darn course. Like, what on earth do you think we students are? We forgot things sir!

I might look like I'm not busy. I might look like I'm not working hard. But I am. And I'm glad.

If you think I'm a big nerd, well you're wrong.

I'm not nerdy, I'm just matured enough to know that school is important and it took me two failing years to realize that.

Love ya!

Let your walls up!

2011-07-07T07:25:00.000-07:00

Being alone is the best time for me to reflect. Being told that I love to keep my emotions all for myself made me think that yeah, how things were so different for me.

Why do I choose to keep my emotions to myself? Cause it's not always safe to let your guards down,especially to people you just met. Honestly, let your walls up. As long as you keep your emotions to yourself, cry behind the door, you'll be hurt less. I won't say you won't be hurt at all, but personally I found it whenever I let my guards down and let people in, when they left or when they cut, it hurts even more.

I am so used to it. I used to be a different person, I used to let people in all the time, and people used to just come and go and take advantage of my feelings.

Now, I know better.

I keep my feelings, my secrets, all to myself and just to those few people who I actually let in my comfort bubble.

Of course, I still need places to tell. But don't ever rely fully on the word trust.

Never ever trust anyone.

Trust yourself not to tell anyone things that they can't bear to keep to themselves and not tell the whole word.

Choose the best words to speak as you choose the best fruits to eat.

Summer-proof make up tips.

2011-07-06T09:51:00.000-07:00

Summer is here and it has been so hoot for the past few weeks. Loving it except now I feel like I'm a sunscreen freak. Whenever I'm exposed to the sun without sunscreen on, I feel like cancer virus is creeping into my skin. I'm so weird.

Anyways, this is the time of the year to get yourself tanned and golden and caramel! I know I am already NC40. And I'm not trying to get myself to be NC42 or anything, I just wanna be a little bit caramel-ish which seems impossible by now. -__-'

Back at home in Malaysia, it is always hot so I was used to using the same products and doing the same make up routine everyday. But 2 years being here, my make up routine varies from winter to spring to summer and to fall. I rarely need primers during winters because on most days, my make up stays on quite well.

So here are few tips and tricks for summer-proof makeup;

1.Layer your face primer.

-Put on your moisturizer, let it sit, put on your sunscreen, let it sit, then it's time for your face primer. (I personally use a setting Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray before my Laura Mercier face primer, but you can skip this step). Apply the first coat of your face primer, then let it dry for about a minute or so. Then, apply a second coat to really get a smooth surface for makeup application. Make sure your primer coats are dry before you put on concealer/foundation/powder or anything else that you put on your face. Lulz.

2.Set your foundation/concealer with translucent loose powder.

-Now,this is really really important. Powder acts as oil absorbent that will keep your face matte and helps your make up stays longer. I recommend you bringing your powder in your handbag, so when your face gets oily, you can take the powder out of your bag, pat some on your face and you're ready to go! I use Laura Mercier Loose Setting powder. It's translucent so it won't cake on more colours.

3.Spray your face with a setting spray as the final step.

-Again, I use the UD De-Slick spray for this step. This obviously locks all your make up in place and all that jazz. Oh, don't forget to throw this in your handbag too, cause when your foundation starts cracking, that's when you spray this baby on your face, and it'll diminish all the cracks that are going on.

That's about it, and enjoy the heat! :)

Exams are over! :)

2011-07-01T03:23:00.000-07:00

N is going back to M-land in few hours and I'm gonna be stuck here for two weeks before my flight! Saaaaaaaad.

Things to do when I'm alone being pathetic, with no one to talk to ;

-SLEEEEP!

-Study for my online courses

-Clean up the house

-Pack my stuff

-Watch lots and lots of tv series and movies

-Have excessive amount of skype sessions

-Hang out with the juniors (their house depan ni je LOL)

-And one thing for shizzle ma nizzle, some gym session. And oh, I want to swim again. It's been so long since I last had a serious swimming session. My coach used to ask me to do gazillion of laps everyday. Sekarang? Jalan 50meter dh mengah.

-Get tanned (Bukan nak lagi gelap, I am already tanned enough pfftt, this is just to make my skintone looks even)

-Get a haircut, eh my bad hairtrim (somebody is seriously not letting me cut my hair)

-Pamper myself with masks, some mani pedi and all that jazz.

Two weeks is not a long time, trust me, as I'm typing this, it is officially 8 weeks or better 2 months since I first got here from Edmonton. And it feels like err, baru 3 weeks.

Go out in the morning!

2011-06-25T04:44:00.001-07:00

Have breakfast with your partner.

Why? Not only it is something special especially for people like me who never care about breakfast.

Apatah lagi nice and proper breakfast.

Take some time to wake up early and go out to enjoy the morning breeze with your beloved one. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Oh, don't forget to dress up! Don't go with your pj's, it defeats the whole purpose.

Have waffles, drink milkshakes.

Only reason I'm writing this is because it's now nearly 9 am and I'm hungry and I miss how you are so willing to have breakfast with me. :(

Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal!

2011-06-23T08:19:00.000-07:00

Last week was the random-est week ever, but the awesomest I ever had in quite awhile!

A week before that, we had our one week off from school because UNB was having this congress on campus, so we were basically doing nothing at home. Ada lah keluar sekali dua, but other than that, we had nothing else to do. And stupid of us, tak terfikir langsung nak pergi travel mana mana.

Then, school started like usual. You know how you get so lazy after a break, and you just don't feel like going to school. For three days, I was feeling that way, I don't have classes on Fridays.

So, on the Thursday, N and I were cleaning the house, cooking and talking with each other, like always. -_-'

And we suddenly decided to check the next flight to Toronto, just for the sake of it. Buuuut, next think I knew was we were already on our way to Toronto. -__-'

Stayed a night, then went to Hamilton the next day.

What did I do in Hamilton?

Well, we did try to ride some Go-Karts, but the schedule was full, so we played Lasertag instead! Awesome posum. Berpeluh gila! N and I were holding the guns terbalik for the first game, bodoh gila. Asyik tembak diri sendiri. Gelap gelap tu, I stopped N and asked

D : "Why everytime I tembak org tu tak mati, I yang mati? Kita pegang terbalik ke babe?"

N : "Aahlaaaa"

Story of two girls who think they are smart. Le sigh.

I did go to the mall, walked around, watched X-Men : First Class.

Of course, kedai makan banyaklah pergi.

Nada and I tak logic la kalau sampai2 tak cari tempat makan.

I went for a breakfast at this place called Williams, and I am craving for their waffles now ; Chocolate Banana Funky Monkey. YUM!

What else did I do in Hamilton? Ohh, of course went around the McMaster campus.

Yada yadaa.

Then,after few days, we headed to Toronto. Walked around, took pictures yada yada. Oh, had Nasi Beriyani with Ayam and Kambing after sooo long. Tak sesedap Malaysia, but at least!

Long story short, we got stuck in Montreal. I was glad we got stuck because N got to see the town even only for a short while. I've been to Montreal during my first year, but N belum pernah. So, again, being the tourists, we walked around, took pictures, ATE of course. Then headed home to Fredericton.

Which makes me feel like a village girl, seeing raccoons strolling around, birds chirping so loud, beavers passing the roads, squirrels EVERYWHERE.

I wanna be in a city. That makes me wanna go to class, just because I could dress up and be all hyped up for class and not having people staring at me like "where does this girl think she's going?"

Dekat Freddy, baru over sikit, tgk mcmla aku ni alien! Hellooo, it's not my fault that you guys love your pyjamas so much to wear it to school!

It's called RESPECT.

2011-06-23T08:15:00.000-07:00

Pointless.

2011-06-21T23:00:00.000-07:00

It's 7 in the morning now and I haven't slept, this has been going on for a few days now. I'm waiting for my class which is at 10. Yawwwn.

It's been a long time since I wrote, and that means I'm busy with something else, not necessarily with school though!

I have many things to do and I wanted to write about our (N and I) little adventure to Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal, but that needs a proper and quite a long time. Soooo, I'm just gonna ramble.

I'm getting thinner, I used to be size 26 or 27, but guess what, I'm now wearing 24.
I remember walking in the Levi's store and the guy who worked there told me "Let me grab you a bunch of size 0s jeans". I was like, "how do you knowwww?"

He's worked there for some time and I am one of those girls who have really skinny legs, he said.

And that wasn't a compliment.

N said I need to gain weight because my legs look like nak patah.

Whatde?

But I'm happy with them regardless *denial*

N is going back to M land a week from now. I still have two weeks or more before I hop on my flight. Damn. Long way to go. :(

I can't can't wait to go back. It feels like it was just last month that I was on my flight from Malaysia to Edmonton. Time flies so fast, for sure.

I have three finals to write next week. And I have a 10-12 pages of research paper to do, and I am only on the fourth page. -_-'

So lazyyy, I am already on my holiday mode!

Anyways, I should go have my breakfast and get ready. :)

2011-06-17T20:08:00.001-07:00

I was on quite a long hiatus cause I was enjoying my week on a amazing holiday! =)

Will talk about it later, for now, I need to catch up on all the studies that I missed.

I'll leave you with something good.

My hiding spot.

2011-06-06T18:37:00.000-07:00

My morning was fine though it started a bit shaky, my evening was great, everything was fine but why do I feel so sad now? Over nothing.

I refused to let myself write all of these on here, but I guess this is the only way to make me feel better. Writing.

Not about makeup, not about clothing, not about shoes. But just simply about me and my life.

Even though no one cares what happens to me, but this has always been my hiding spot, so here I am again, with the same familiar feeling.

Empty. Empty to the soul.

It's a little too overrated don't you think to say that you're feeling empty?

And no, I don't feel empty all the time.

But the thing I hate the most about this inevitable feeling is it comes out of nowhere without a slight hint of warning.

I hate that.

It's always like that,"I was doing just fine,but the next thing I knew,I felt so very empty and sad like somebody just ripped my heart out of me".

And often, I try to find the transition period, being something I did or encountered, to make the story more full of sense, not just a sad story of a girl who thinks she had it rough.

I definitely had it easy, easier than anyone I can ever think of.

But I can't help it, and the worst thing is, I try to search for a comfort to run to, but I failed.

I ask myself, am I missing someone? Am I missing a place? Am I in need of someone or something?

But I couldn't find the answer.

I thought I was missing Edmonton, and I put it up as my Facebook status, but when I read it the second time, I didn't think that's the case.

Then, I thought I made the wrong decision, so when I hit Skype to talk to a friend about it, thinking of what points would I use to justify my actions, it suddenly occured to me that I didn't feel that I've made a wrong choice.

I've tried searching in every possible way, but it's just won't work.

Then, it hit me.

The one thing that I am missing in my life.

My obedience to God.

And as soon as I realized that, tears ran down on my cheeks as mum and dad appeared in front of me.

I'm sorry.

Are you too busy or lazy to go the mall and shop but you still want to look fabulous? Are you the type that want things to be delivered at your door (like me)? Are you the type who prioritize quality? Then, this is the perfect post for you! :)

TheLabels.net is a new online boutique that features local Fashion Designers such as Lan Baharin and Naini Kifli.

I haven't bought anything from there cause I'm in Canada so I wouldn't be expecting them to ship to me, but I will definitely be buying some of their items as soon as I go back to Malaysia this summer.

A lot of people have purchased from TheLabels.net and they are satisfied with the items they ordered. They are very high quality. (Yay! Finally, not a cheap blog shop whose stuff are so shitty and not worth the money.)

The price might be slightly higher than any other blog shops but you have to remember that they are carrying designers products and they use really high quality materials unlike some other blogshops that I have purchased from that sell cheap stuff but I found them ripped off or the colour fades after a wash, and the quality is just soo Bukit Bintang punya kedai.

So, invest more to get better quality products. That has always been my belief.

Check the site out, it's still new. But more items are coming, so keep yourself posted! :)

For updates, like them on Facebook : TheLabels and follow them on Twitter : TheLabels

What I use to remove my makeup

2011-06-03T17:49:00.000-07:00

To remove eyes makeup, I simply use Baby Oil. Effective and affordable, eye make up remover is so freakin expensive.

Soak a cotton pad with baby oil and hold it firmly on your eye to let the eye make up breaks down. And just swipe it across your eyes for a few times.

I don't use baby oil for the entire face cause it's too oily but you can always mix baby oil, baby shampoo and water to get DIY Make Up Remover but after awhile, I got lazy to do that so I started buying Make Up Remover Wipes.

I've used several of them ; Neutrogena Deep Clean Oil- Free Makeup Remover wipes, Marcelle Cleansing Cloths, Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes and few other brands that I can't remember right now.

But my favourites are from Pond's and Neutrogena. They are wet but not dripping wet, so they are perfect for removing face make up.

Then I wash my face with my facial cleanser, if you must know, it's Neutrogena Deep Clean Daily Scrub.

And that's it! =)

Emjoi Soft Caress Epilator review.

2011-06-01T16:40:00.001-07:00

This post is gonna be a bit gross but let's face it. Out of 10,000 women, only 1 that has absolutely no hair on her body. Not that hair is disgusting, but girls need to take care of them to not look unpleasant yada yada.

My late grandfather was from Pakistan, but I don't think I look like one. Lulz. So, thanks to him, I grew up being quite hairy. In a good way! My hair was thick and healthy (before I decided to damage them with chemicals and heat). My eyelashes are pretty thick and long (from what I've been told), and my eyebrow was nice and full (before I stupidly trimmed them when I was young). So being hairy comes in handy. But in some areas, you don't wanna let the hair grow till it can be braided.

Okay fine. Let me just be specific here, I'll be talking specifically about armpit hair.

So, for girls, when it comes to armpit hair, it's a concern. Because it's a thing that some girls are most conscious about. I am.

I don't like shaving because the hair is gonna grow coarser and thicker. And it can darken the armpit.

Tweezing is a pain! It takes a lot of time and energy. And it's tiring!

I remember my neck being sore cuz of tweezing. -__-'

Waxing is a hassle. And it gets pricey after a while.

So the best solution that I recently found is to EPILATE! :)

I use Emjoi Soft Caress Epilator and mine is blue coloured!

THIS IS NOT A SHAVER WHATSOEVER. It is basically an electronic device that consists of 24 karat gold plating tweezers that is luxurious, durable and extra gentle on the skin. Got that quote from BeautyChoice.com haha.

I've only used mine twice. But N used hers for quite a number of times already cause she got hers wayyy before I got mine. It's honestly not painful! It has some tweezing sensation but not painful at all. I only tried it on my armpit, so I can't say about other places, it might hurt more on your legs I think.

If you are used to waxing and tweezing, if you've experienced them even once or twice, then you'll get the idea of epilating your hair.

Epilating is so fast and efficient. And it pulls all your hair from the growth, so it lasts longer than shaving. A lot longer.

This is a video of a Youtube guru explaining more about Epilator.

So, this is the link to the epilator that is on sale on BeautyChoice.com (click on the link)

I bought mine on ebay. So it's slightly cheaper.

Vancouver trip.

Ececececeyyy ada teaser teaser pulak.

Anyways, I will be posting pictures of Vancouver trip soon! :)

Cheerio!

A pointless update.

2011-05-16T21:29:00.000-07:00

That was the looonggg. I didnt put anything up on my blog for so long cause I don't know, I was busy settling down in a new place? I had to get used to this place and everything, as silly as it might sound, it is true! When you have lived in your comfort zone with your comfort friends for a while, it takes you longer than you think to live in a new environment. So excuse mee!

I am officially in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I moved out here for good. Why? Something I don't intend to elaborate now. Tak penting pun.

So far, so good. I'm liking it here, except for the fact that the public transportation sucks! And God knows how I hate walking! I used to take the bus or once in a while ; the cab every freakin where I go. But there's no subway here, so no train, there is buses but just a few and it's not free ride. In Edmonton, the bus passes was in our tuition fees so JPA paid for it. But here, no. And the bus here dont go around to people's houses that much.

That's the only downside that I can think of so far. Except for the fact that I am missing Edmonton, not the place, but you get what I mean.

Not that I don't like it here but I can't help missing my two years there, can I?

It was so hard leaving Edmonton the other day. 10 days ago, while I was on the plane, I cried endlessly, no joke. I was wearing my shade all the time, even on the flight cuz it was daytime and I was crying with barely any makeup on. Imagine that!

I was crying all the wayyy from Edmonton to Toronto, during the transit, and also from Toronto to Fredericton. As soon as I arrived, I felt soooo freakin alone. Took the cab but as I was watching all the roads and the trees and the houses, I told myself that 'this is it, no turning back, this is the price you gotta pay Diane!' hoho.

But then, I am happy now. And I will be happier when we found the house and I get my own room. For now, we are just staying at N's current house, and we are moving out with few other friends to a new place in September.

Anywaysssss,
Malaysia, see you on 15th July. ;)

Who's the birthday girl?

2011-05-03T01:03:00.000-07:00

I am on a roadtrip to Vancouver but as I am writing this, I am not yet in Vancouver. We had few stops and we are spending the night at a hotel in this town that is 100km away from Vancouver cause it was night and snowing lightly. It was not so safe to be on the road like that. The hotels here are amazing! I am so going for a Hot Tub session tomorrow morning! Oh, it's my girl's birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NADA, drink lots of water and live a long healthy life! Love you!

Mini SEPHORA haul.

2011-04-26T18:12:00.001-07:00

I was banned from shopping on March 30th and it is now April 26th. So I guess I cheated maybe for about a week. LOL.
Anyways, all of us JPA kids are rich now. (for now and will be poor again in short time, that's me for sure). And I decided to splurge my money on some good stuff I've been eyeing on. I'm not gonna haul clothes here because ehhh I don't care that much bout them.

I did buy few tops and bottoms from Forever21, H&M, got myself a red Tommy Hilfiger polo shirt, few other stuff from here and there, but my clothes are pretty cheap.

Seriously, for clothings, $25 is expensive for me. -__-'

I also went to ALDO outlet, and they have really good stuff in there. I really wanna show you the shoes I got, but once I got the chance to snap snappy them.

Enough of that, I went to the mall yesterday and got three stuff from Sephora.

I got Too Faced Natural Eye Kit, that N got for herself last winter break and eversince that, I fell in love with it and I had to have it. Okay I lied, I loved the Urban Decay NAKED palette more, but it was sold out last month and it is still sold out yesterday, so I gave up and got this one instead, the colours are pretty similar, but NAKED has a wider range.

The close up. I know the three colour at the most right look dark but they actually can be light if you blend them well, so don't get scared!

Here are the swatches, not my hand, not my picture. Got it from Google!

Oh and I also got a blusher from LORAC in colour Plum. It's matte. I've been wanting a matte peach-plum colour for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long. And I'm loving this, it looks a lil bit dark but it's not that dark. It's darker than my Bella Bamba which is exactly what I was looking for!

I've always wanted a matte blusher to use as a contour in addition and this one is perfect, esp for daytime!

Lastly, this one thing that I kept grabbing everytime I went in Sephora but never felt that it's gonna be worth it. After so long going back and forth about it, and thinking bout it, I had to get the Urban Decay Primer Potion in the squeeze tube. The new packaging make it more convenient and sanitary. Other than that, it is a product that has been over raved about on Youtube and it would kill me if I never at least own a tube. -__-'

Food poisoning.

2011-04-23T17:13:00.000-07:00

I have been feeling nauseous, I threw up twice, I have been running to the bathroom (diarrhea), and my body is so weak. And I suddenly felt cold.

Guess what?

It's food poisoning.

You got that right.

I don't remember the last time I got one. Maybe I never had one.
The only thing that I swallowed for the whole day is one cup of Hot Milo. No appetite.

Here are some tips if you happen to experience food poisoning some day.

Do not eat solid food while nauseous or vomiting but drink plenty of fluids.

Small, frequent sips of clear liquids (those you can see through) are the best way to stay hydrated.

Avoid alcoholic, caffeinated, or sugary drinks. Over-the-counter rehydration products made for children such as Pedialyte and Rehydralyte are expensive but good to use if available.

Sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade are fine for adults if they are diluted with water because at full strength they contain too much sugar, which can worsen diarrhea.

Home remedies for nausea or diarrhea such as tea with lemon and ginger can be used for relief from symptoms. There are no proven herbal food poisoning cures. Consult a health care practitioner before taking any natural food poisoning remedies.

After successfully tolerating fluids, eating should begin slowly, when nausea and vomiting have stopped. Plain foods that are easy on the stomach should be started in small amounts. Initially consider eating rice, wheat, breads, potatoes, low-sugar cereals, lean meats, and chicken (not fried). Milk can be given safely, although some people may experience additional stomach upset due to lactose intolerance.

Refurbished MacbookPro, hell yeah! :)

2011-04-20T22:18:00.000-07:00

I am blogging from my new laptop. But not a Macbook. I will be buying a Macbook tomorrow though. :)

Haha I'm confusing all of you, fo shiz ma niz yo.

Let's rewind a few frames.

Okay so my laptop decided to shut down on me few weeks ago, but I aint no weak bitch, I got that fixed.

Then one beautiful day, X broke my laptop, not on purpose of course, it broke physically, the screen was a mess from the inside, you know how you can see the cracks of your screen and it was all blank white? Yeah, that. It was heartbreaking.

Out of guilt, X decided to get me a new laptop without telling me, X got me Toshiba which is on sale, it's really good, it's the one that I'm using now. I'm telling you, it's big, the graphic is superb, it's fast, it is a really good laptop but it's not convenient, I need a sleek stylish laptop HAHAHAHA. So materialistic. But it's true, I'm always bringing my laptop everywhere, to school, to sleepovers, when I go back to Malaysia, when I travel, and yada yadaa so I couldn't bring this big precious thing with me everywhere, it'll hurt my back.

And if you've been reading, you know how I was working so hard just so that I can get my hands on the new Macbook Pro. Yes, I worked my ass off, so that I can fulfill that materialistic wish of mine.

But then, when I was doing some financial calculating last night, I figured, I have to buy tickets to here and there, bla bla bla and if I really want to get myself a Macbook, I need to cut off my shopping expenses (not cut down, but cut off), which is 90% impossible. (As long as there are money in my bank, I need to spend it, it's like a disease of mine). I am not a saver, though I am trying so hard to be one.

So, N gave me a great idea. Get a refurbished Macbook Pro!

I was like, yeahh I've heard about that, but ehhhh I don't know, it's not convincing.
Oh wait, google for reviews would help!
So I googled for some reviews written by people who have purchased the refurbished stuff from Apple store.

In case you don't know what refurbished stuff are, they are stuff that people returned due to many different reasons. Some of them just don't like it, some of them kinda need the money back (hahaha, so like me), some of the items are defective from some expects, like a dead pixel, or whatnot, but what Apple does is, they run a check over the returned items and fix EVERYTHING that afre wrong with them.

Refurbished items come with a 1 year warranty. So, if you find something wrong with it (again), they'll replace a new one for you, or they'll repair it for free!

And usually there are no major defects, only small little fuss. Apple is very strict with their customer service and their quality, so they wouldn't be selling stuff that have defects.

That being said, I found really good reviews from people who have been using the refurbished stuff from almost 2 or 3 years. The only thing is, they don't come in the usual box (pffttt, who cares?), anddd that's it. Some people even said that the refurbished items are usually better since Apple did a double run on them and fix everything and update everything.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the refurbished stuff are sold at a cheaper price, you could save from $200 up to $500 or maybe more, depends on the stuff.

Good deal!

So I thought, that's it! I'm gonna get a refurbished Macbook Pro. And I would save about $200 or $300 dollars, and I could shop and feel less guilty! :)

Am I smart or what? HAHAHAHA!

And oh, this Toshiba of mine, I'll be selling it for $400 (few interested potential buyers are contacting me). And X is gonna pay few hundred dollars more for the Macbook, so basically we're splitting half for the Macbook. ( I didn't ask, nor am I taking advantage, X felt so guilty and decided to pay some of it, hey at least I didn't ask X to pay the full price!)

Aint that beautifuuuuul? :)

I am also selling my camera FujiFilm FinePix (pink colour, so pretty :( ) cause I'm investing in a better camera. Meeting the buyer tomorrow. :)

Beauty Tip #3

2011-04-17T20:40:00.000-07:00

SATIN! (Unless you're allergic to it) Sleep on satin covered pillow. It will make a huge difference to your skin and your hair. I have been sleeping on my Satin pillowcase eversince I came to Canada. And yes, it has made a huge impact on my hair and my skin! So when I read about this on elleandblair.com earlier, I thought I wanted to write about it too! Satin pillowcase helps my skin and my hair stay healthier than the cotton pillowcase. Do you wanna know why? Basically, satin doesn't absorb oil from your hair/face. When the needed oil is not absorbed, your hair will not try to fight the absence of the oil by producing more oil and thus making your hair greasy and stinky the next day. You will also have less break outs as your face will not be sleeping on dirty oils and grease. Plus, it will not leave your skin dehydrated. The one huge difference it made was definitely on my hair. My hair is not greasy or oily or stinky when I wake up in the morning. No need for dry shampoo, I can go one/two days with unwashed hair when I get some satin-lovin. Satin pillowcase is just as cheap as the cotton ones, so change your pillowcase today and save your hair from errr, smelling nasty! :)

Current obsession

Strawberries dipped with NUTELLA! Ahhh bliss.

YUMMY!

Maybe I should go make Strawberry Nutella crepes, hmm good idea! :)

No one needs to be ugly to wear makeup, you fool!

2011-04-15T22:49:00.001-07:00

To all the jealous girls and ignorant guys who think a girl needs to be ugly to love makeups

Screw youuu! Get a life! Geez.

I can’t understand how a woman can leave the house

without fixing herself up a little,

if only out of politeness.

You never know,

maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny,

and it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

Hye hye hye.

Eversince I started blogging, I wasn't really talking to people. It was more like a diary, I wrote personal stuff like there's no tomorrow. And I never really bother about how many people read my blog or whatnot.

And after a while, I stopped blogging about my personal life, well at least the very details of it. Because many things have happened because of that. I got questioned, I got accused and all the bad stuff. Back then, I figured, it was kind of a relief when everytime I come back home, I know I have a place to vent to. But it gets too personal sometimes and it brought me no good, it made me feel relieved for a while, but no good in the long term, thus the less personal-ish blog you see now.

And I was never concern about how many readers I have or whatnot.

From the stats thingy on blogspot, I can see roughly how many people come here everyday, and I'm flattered. But, I wish you could just you know, say hi or "hari ni I makan tempoyak, Canada takde tempoyak kan, jangan jealous uhukzzz", so that I wouldn't feel like I'm talking to myself, which errr technically errrr, whatever.

You get what I mean.

But I guess, I read other people's blogs too and never bother to say hi. So who am I to say.

I dh merepek, it's exactly 4 am tonight, I better go to bed.

Please jgn mimpi makcik semalam lagi, it's kinda creepy.

Night!

Review : L'OREAL HIP duo eyeshadow in SHADY.

2011-04-11T18:57:00.002-07:00

What have I been using on my eyes for my daily use?

I was in a long search for eyeshadows that are cheap and good quality that I can use for my everyday use, to go to school or just going out to a grocery store and having some ice cream time after or whatever.

I was looking for something matte, as I love love matte eyeshadows especially if I was gonna wear it during the day.

I was also looking for an eyeshadow that is in the colour of my skintone for the lid and a really subtle matte brown for the crease for the contouring purpose.

I want a really subtle and matte colour so I wouldn't look like I was overdoing my eyes.

And I found one! One that I have been using for the past weeks, and I loved it so far.

It is the LOREAL HIP eyeshadow DUO, and it is called Shady.

It is pretty amazing for it's price. I got this on sale, or maybe not? Urgh I can't remember but I got this for about 8-9 dollar. That's not bad at all.

The lighter colour compliments my skintone really well, it gives a nice matte VERY VERY VERY light brown finish to my lid, and the darker colour looks very dark in the picture, but it all depends on how much you pack it on. I don't use too much of it, and it gives me a really nice brown contour of the crease! Just the way I like it.

Although I was looking for more of a Taupe colour, like the infamous Satin Taupe from M.A.C, ( I have mine but I don't want to use that for my everyday use). Besides, it's kinda shimmery, and I love it! But not for everyday use.

So far, Satin Taupe from M.A.C is my favourite colour, I was looking for something similar but has a matte finish. Haven't found any but I will not stop searching!

Anyhowsssssssss, I recommend this eyeshadow duo because the pigments are nice (I don't really use primer on daily basis), but it stays on pretty well.

The colour is light and subtle (which I like) , but it is very buildable too.

The only thing I don't like is the packaging, errr, it is kinda bulky cause it comes with a crappy little brush (I threw the brush away). But naahh. I don't really mind, it doesn't bother me at all.

Overall, it is a good quality eyeshadow duo and you should get it if you are a neutral colours lover like me! =)

Review : ELF Stipple Brush

2011-04-10T22:49:00.000-07:00

When I ordered stuff from ELF, I was particularly excited about this brush. It is only CAD 3.00, very very cheap compared to MAC stippling brush which retails at around CAD50.00++

I have tried the flat normal foundation brush but I don't like it at all, I rather just use my hand. I was so tempted to buy the MAC stippling brush, but I told myself to wait for the ELF brush to arrive and I am glad I waited!

Is it as good as MAC stippling brush? - No, but it's not that bad. It's not that huge of a difference. It is not worth the price difference. The MAC brush is maybe like 2-3 times better than this but keep in mind if you get that brush, you'll be paying like 15-16 times of the ELF's stippling brush. It is not worth it at all, unless if you are a rich person and you don't mind spending your money on stuff like that.

Personally I choose not to waste 50++ bucks over a brush that is only 2-3 times better. I could, but I chose not to.

That being said, I am satisfied with this brush.

The only downside is, it is soft. I wish it is more sturdy so it will take up less time to apply my foundation. Oh, I use this for my foundation.

But, eventhough it takes up more time, I don't have to go over my face again for the second time because it gives a lot of coverage by using the STIPPLING MOTION.

I only stipple my foundation using this brush one time, and that's it.

Maybe go over certain spots that need more coverage.

So, it is actually taking me less time.

Do you know what I mean? Heeeeeee.

It gives me perfect coverage by just one coat and maybe another coat at certain areas if I break out a lot.

For people who don't need a lot of coverage, you don't have to use the STIPPLING MOTION, you can just blend and just apply with normal motion.

This brush is also good for people who have big pores, cause it makes the pores less visible, so that's a plus!

All in all, I am loving this brush.

Worth the price. Only 3 dollar for God's sake. =)

Advice #2 - You are beautiful.

2011-04-09T17:11:00.000-07:00

When I used to hear people talking about this issue, I can't help but smirk and go "Pffttt it's easy for someone who has perfect skin, perfect lips, perfect teeth, perfect body, perfect everything like you to say".

But as I grew up, I have now realized that no one is perfect. No one. Even if you see her as the perfect pretty little Barbie girl, you have no idea what her life is like, you have no idea what is in her heart. Everyone has something they don't like about themselves, be it physical or not.

Don't you ever dare feel ugly because God never makes anything ugly. His creations are all beautiful. His creations are all useful. Don't ever go all mad at God for giving you a big nose or anything like that, because there must be a reason why He made us the way we are now.

I know many girls have low self esteem just because they don't feel beautiful or pretty. And because they have encountered many mean things people say to them.

Well, guess what. I have encountered them so many times, but do I feel ugly? NO! I feel extraordinarily beautiful. I don't care if people are gonna say stuff like "OMG you are so full of yourself or you are freakin ugly" or anything like that, because you know what, you can't be everyone's favourite. And most importantly, you should not try to be everyone's favourite, especially the ones who don't even matter to you. You should be your own favourite, be someone you like, be someone you love, do stuff that you want others to do to you, then you're good.

I personally have met so many mean people. Or maybe they're not mean, maybe they're just jokin around or whatever, but I know how much it hurts when you say people say bad stuff about you. Trust me, been there.

It used to bring me down like hell, but as I went along, they made me more confident than I was. They boosted my self esteem. They made me stronger. They made me stop listening to those ugly stuff that people are saying. They made me happy with the way I am.

I don't care. I don't.

I'm not gonna lie that it sometimes hurts, but I get over it pretty fast. I get over mean stuff after like what? 5 minutes? Because I don't want to care, I don't want to even be sad over stupid stuff, and stupid people. Why should I?

I am thankful for everything that I have, everything that I have earned, everything that have brought me to where I am now, good or bad.

Everytime I feel like the universe is against me, everytime I feel like I have no one to talk to, everytime I feel like I don't wanna go through this life anymore, everytime I feel like there is no one that cares about me, I stop. I cried, and I ask for forgiveness from God, for thinking about those stuff but never ever thought about all the beautiful things He gave me.

This mouth that can talk, these hands that can move, these legs that can walk, this brain that can think, these eyes that can see, these food that keeps me alive, this healthy body, these parents that love me like I am the last thing in the world.

I feel ashamed of myself, just because we are going through some hard times, look back and look at all those stuff that God has given to us, and think about what have we given to Him as a thank you gift?

Think about that, and you will feel better. Don't ever try to be someone you are not.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, hold on to that.

Everyone is beautiful, in our own way. Don't let other people say otherwise. They are just jealous because they want to be us.

And from my experience, people that say mean stuff usually

1. are just jealous

2. have low self esteem but they don't want people to see it, so they channel all attention to others

3. have nothing better to do (which is sad)

4. are just plainly stupid (not kidding)

No matter what they say, you should never ever feel like you're not worth anything. There's someone out there, who is willing to die for you.

Be patient. Stick with people that matter to you.

ELF stuff.

2011-04-09T01:32:00.000-07:00

Look what came in the mail yesterday! I was so happy. I was literally jumping out of joyness!

Some of them are Anis's. I can't wait to try every one of them. Esp the stippling brush!

Now, before you go all "ehhh you are supposed to be banned from shopping". Yes I am still banned from it. But, this is a long time ago. Anis and I ordered stuff from ELF like a month plus ago?

Sooo, I haven't break any rules here!

2011-04-07T17:33:00.000-07:00

The previous post was a torture! It was really long! But I did it anyways cause I wanted to help people with acne. So you guys better appreciate that!

You can thank me later!

How to get rid of acne.

2011-04-07T15:16:00.000-07:00

What I am about to say to you guys, are gonna be informations that will help change your life! And I mean it. I really do. It has changed my life, in a good way of course. And I really really hope this will be helpful to a lot of you too.

Few things before I start,

I don't have perfect skin. NOWHERE NEAR GOOD SKIN. But it has improved A LOT throughout time and I am really impressed bout it.

I started having acne since I was around 14 or 15. And I am now 20 and I still have few sometimes. It's been a while since I have been struggling with this and I think I am in the right place to tell you what would work and what wouldn't.

You can not depend on products to clear your skin. Products will only help so much if you try to clear your skin from the inside. If you use good products but you don't make any extra effort, you will not see any changes anytime soon.

Oh, and I found it useful if you know what my skin type is. I have combination to oily skin. I get really oily in the T-zone area. And I am very acne-prone. My face doesn't get dry that easily. Hm, so yeah.

Okay, this is going to be a long post, but I feel the need to tell and explain every single thing that is going to help you. And I am not gonna rave about products so much cause products work differently on other people, so I dare not say too much bout that.

These are MOSTLY natural and guarantee-gonna-work methods, I assure you. =)

Ready? Let's start.

1. EXFOLIATE!

You need need need to exfoliate your skin. A lot of times, when you use an acne gel or acne products, it wont work cause you have too many layers of dead skin cells and the products are not able to go deep into your skin to work it's magic. You need to get rid of your dead skin cells. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. Exfoliating is really important. Ah, I don't know how to describe how important it is.

WHAT I DO :

(DAILY) To exfoliate, I use my Neutrogena Exfoliating Daily Facial Wash, it seems to work for me and a lot of other people. You should try that, besides it's really affordable. The beads are small and tiny, so you can use it daily, it won't be harsh on your skin. Others daily exfoliators are personally harsh for my skin. This works awesome on me.

(FEW TIMES A WEEK) : I also just started using my OLAY PRO X facial brush (refer to my previous post) and it has done an awesome job of softly exfoliating my skin.

(4 TIMES A WEEK) : I have less problem with acne now, but I am still trying to get rid of my acne scarring. I am the type of girl who scars easily! A lot of my friends don't scar, but I do! So I have been using the Ginale Skin Peel (specifically to remove scarring and hyper pigmentation, to even out skin tone etc) for about 7 months, and I see great results. I am not gonna lie, it takes time, but it works.

(TWO TIMES A WEEK) : I do my Honey-Aspirin mask. This mask is good for all skin type. The Aspirin is for exfoliating and we all know that Honey has tons of benefits for our skin. I'm not gonna bother explaining more. Michelle Phan does it better.

TIPS : If your exfoliator is harsh, your face will turn red ALL OVER, that's how you know. If your nose and chin area turns red, that's normal. But if your whole face turns red, throw away your exfoliator and buy a new one! A less harsh one. :)

PRODUCTS I USE :

2. ICE TREATMENT / TONER

Now, I don't find toner as important as moisturizers or facial wash. But I do use one. I use Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner. What a toner does is, it helps close your pores after washing or exfoliating, so dirts and unwanted stuff won't get into your pores and clog and cause more break outs. A good and suitable toner for your skin is hard to find, I found mine after five years searching. So I am here to provide an easy and much cheaper alternative for a toner, it is the ICE TREATMENT. I learnt this from one of Michelle Phan's videos, I tried it for fun, and it works very amazingly for my skin.

WHAT I DO :

Everytime after I shower / wash my face etc, I apply my toner before I put on any makeup. That way, my makeup won't get into my pores. If you don't wear makeup, you still need to do this, because when you go to school/ work or just lazying around your house, dirts will get on to your face and if your pores are wide open, you are actually making a home for those dirts to stay in your pores! EUW.

ICE TREATMENT. If you don't have a toner, what you can do is, get one ice cube from a tray of ice cubes in your fridge, and just lightly rub the ice all over your face after you shower. It tightens your pore, and prevent clogging. Not only that, you will feel very awake if you do this in the morning. ( I used to do this, but I stopped doing it when I went back to Malaysia, now I need to start doing this again). Unlike most toners (not my toner though ;p ), this method won't strip off your natural moist in your face, which is very good.

3. STEAM YOUR FACE

Steaming your face every two weeks will help you get rid of all the dirts that somehow manage to get into your pores, especially if you wear makeups. Especially if you have acne on your face. Steam your face every two weeks. It helps improve your skin. I have started doing this since last year, 2010. And as usual, I stopped doing it when I went back to Malaysia, and I am gonna start doing this again. I must say, this contributes 60% of my better improved skin.

Warning : You might look silly while doing this, but hey, do you wanna look silly for 15-20 mins every two weeks, or do you wanna look silly for the rest of your life?

WHAT I DO :

I take a big bowl or a big pot, I pour some water until it is half filled, and four spoons of salt. Let it boil. After it has boiled, wait 2-3 minutes and put the water in a bowl, or you can use it straight away from the pot ( a bit dangerous cause the pot is still hot), and put it on a table, grab a towel, and cover the pot and your face for 15-20 minutes. Let me just put a picture so you get the idea.

TIPS : For better result, try not to let the vapour escape ( completely cover your face and the bowl with your towel, just leave a slight hole for you to breathe). If it gets too hot, just take 3 seconds to uncover and take a breath and quickly cover your face again.

4. GET A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT

You know why acne is gross (no offense, I have acne too, so relax!) because it is made from gross oil and dirts and all other gross stuff. Where does that stuff come from? Inside your body (your daily eating) and also from your environment.

WHAT I DO :

I change my pillow case every week! It is better if you can use one side one night, and use the other side tomorrow night and change it every two days. But I can't do that as I am partly lazy and partly busy, so I change my pillow case every week. This is a crucial step. When you sleep, your skin will work its best to improve its condition, and it can't work if you are sleeping on a dirty surface! All the oils from your hair gets on to your pillow case, and if you don't wash them regularly, that dirty gross oil is going to transfer to your face. Not only that, the dirts and oils will go DEEPN INTO YOUR SKIN because you sleep for hours and hours on that surface so it will get very deep into your skin.

Clean my phone screen regularly, with my makeup remover, or if you don't have one, clean it with your sanitizer. A hand sanitizer would do, or your toner.

Clean my makeup brushes weekly.

DON'T PICK YOUR ACNE/PIMPLES! If I could go back and tell my 15 years old self, I would tell her, do not do not do not pick your pimples. It is very very bad. It causes scar and ALSO IT TRIGGERS more acne/pimples. That is seriously the last thing you need!

5. EAT, DRINK RIGHT.

DRINK WATER. I know this is overrated, but you really need to drink the enough amount of water everyday to get healthy glowy clear skin. Drink waterrrrr! Drink water! It's really goood! PLEASE for your own sake, drink 8 glasses of water everyday!

AVOID SUGAR. Sugar is really bad for our skin. Even if it's not showing up on your skin now, you will see the effects sooner or later. Sugar aggravates acne. Avoid sugar. PERSONALLY, everytime I eat Granola Bars, I will get acne like crazy. Eventhough I really love it, I stay away from it. Besides, there's a lot more yummier food to eat.

EAT FRUITS. Eat fruits, as it provides your body with the sugar intake it needs, but it is natural sugar, so it won't break you out.

EAT VEGGIES. Veggies help clear your skin. I used to HATE vegetables. But I am liking it more now cause I used to force myself to eat them. Now I love steamed broccoli! So yummy!

GREEN TEA. I know Green Tea does not taste good. But this is not only good for your skin but for your body too. It gets rid of all the toxins in your body. I just started drinking green tea, and I am having like 3-4 pimples right now, cause that's apparently normal when you start drinking green tea. It's one of the ways to get rid of toxins, but don't worry, it will go away, and you will get clear skin afterwards. You will also find yourself burping and farting a lot, as those are also some other ways that Green Teas do to get rid of the toxins in your body. Drink Green Tea, make it a habit. Drink it everyday. You can substitute this with your coffee, if you are a coffee lover (which I am). Because Green Tea also helps us stay awake throughout the day. Don't add sugar in it! Pfftt, that's gonna defeat the purpose, if you want a better taste, get one with honey flavour, or you can add honey in the drink.

WHAT I DO :

Simple. I drink Green Tea everyday.
I try to drink enough water everyday ( I suck at this)
I cook, so I know how much sugar and salt that I put in my food.
I try to eat right
I avoid carbonated drink (soda). It is my skin's worst enemy in terms of drink.
I try to slow down on coffee. I drink one when I am really really really craving for it. I used to drink it almost everyday.

PRODUCTS I USE :

6. MOISTURIZE

What moisturizers do is it helps to keep the moisture balanced in your skin. A lot of oily people say they don't need a moisturizer, it will only makes their faces more oily. That's NOT true. No matter what your skin type is, you need to find the right moisturizer for you. For acne - prone skin, I really recommend gel-type moisturizer, it works better.

WHAT I DO :

After I shower / wash my face, I apply some toner, let it dry, and put on my Clinique Gel Moisturizer. It doesn't break me out, it doesn't make my face oily, it makes my face appear healthy and glowy. And I only use moisturizers at night.

PRODUCTS I USE :

7.ACNE TREATMENT PRODUCT.

It is important to have an acne treatment product that you can use on your acne. If you regularly exfoliate, your treatment product will works much more better as it is going to have a better access to your deeper skin, because the roots to your acne problem lies beneath your skin. Find a good one that works on you. For the best result, find a product that use most natural ingredient.

WHAT I DO :

Nothing much. I just use my Ginale Tea Tree Oil on my acne before I go to bed, and the next thing I know, my acne flatten and after two days, most of them are gone.

An alternative to that, I also recommend Dermalogica Clean Start "Bedtime for Breakouts" Gel. It works for me overnight, really amazing.

PRODUCTS I USE :

8. SUNSCREEN.

I saved the best for the last! Sunscreen is really important ( I keep saying this, but it's true). Sunscreen is just a simple product that can make a huge difference in your skin appearance. Even if you don't have acne, you should use sunscreen, because when you age, your skin will wrinkle 10 times much faster. And your skin will have very visible dark spots, cause by the UV RAYS from the sun.

WHAT I DO :

I use sunscreen everyday, even if I'm not going out. Cause the sun rays that comes in through your window is still harmful to your skin.

After I shower/ wash my face, then I apply my sunscreen. ( I don't use moisturizers during the day, I use it only at night), then I continue with my makeup.

TIPS : Do you have to use sunscreen if you're going outdoor at night? YES! The moon light is the sunlight reflected on the moon and shines on us. Hey, didn't you learn that at school? Pffttt! It is still harmful to your skin, you might not have to use a whole lot, like during daytime, but just take 20 seconds to grab your sunscreen and apply it all over your face and neck.

PRODUCT I USE :

Now, that's all that I can recall for now, but I will surely update you guys if I found something else that is gonna work to improve our skin.

Cheers! To better skin. =)

Small Haul + Small OLAY PRO X review.

2011-04-03T17:23:00.000-07:00

I am currently blogging from a Macbook PRO, no not mine though one month from now, I hope I'll be able to get one for myself. My laptop broke down due to some stupid virus, hence the less blogging and less everything. I have been watching Youtube from some Android phone. Lulz. I just realized that when my laptop broke down, the one thing I missed the most was Youtube, I felt incomplete, hence the desperate action, watching Youtube on a crappy Android phone, no offense, but it is crappy, it's not as clear. But i's good enough for now.

Work has been hurm fine. Though I must say my current job is tiring than my previous one (the one I quit), but it's okay. It only makes me appreciate money even more.

Talking about money, you all know that I am banned from shopping. Buuuut,

Yesterday, Anis and I went to the post office to ask about our never-arriving package, and the counter is in a drugstore, and we spent almost more than an hour in the drugstore! I bought some stuff, but it was under 50dollar. Due to my good behaviour I am allowed to spend 50dollar yesterday. We went to LUSH afterwards, I was so excited to get It's Raining Men, but I was so so so freakin sad when they told me it was LIMITED EDITION! That's the only shower gel that I love from LUSH. :( I ended up not getting anything (at LUSH). Good girl!

Anyways, the drugstore is having crazy promotions, so if I miss this one, it's kinda a shame. But I managed to not get stupid stuff.

I only got four stuff for me.

The one thing I AM MOST excited about. As you all know, I can't afford Clarisonic. Actually I can, but I choose not to spend almost $200 on a stupid moving rotating machine. So I got a dupe of it, OLAY Pro X. I only used it once, so far so good.

Let me tell you, usually at nights, I remove my makeup and wash my face with my all time fav Neutrogena face wash. And I always wonder, is my face clean enough? Considering I use a lot of liquid stuff and I wear my makeup for a long period of time. So, I did my usual routine last night, I remove my makeup, wash my face. Anddd, I didn't stop there. I grabbed a lil bit more of my face wash, put it on my face all over, and brush my face with this cute OLAY baby. And I must say, my face was still dirty of makeups. The brush dug out all of the makeups especially for someone who has a lot of pores like me. I felt really clean afterwards. :)

I would not use this in the morning, I would use it at night if I wear makeups on that day, if I don't, I won't use it just because I don't wanna be exfoliating my face with this brush everyday.

I might not use this when I use my Ginale Skin Peel either. So yeah. That was my short review on this brush, I will update after a few more use, just so I could get a better thought of this product. So far, I'm liking it like a child liking a cotton candy! :)

Next thing I got was, Arm&Hammer Electric Toothbrush, I bought this because of no particular reason, it wasn't that expensive, just few dollars more than regular brushes. I bought this because I want something fun to brush my teeth with, and this is like my childhood dream that Mum won't let me get cause, honestly I don't know what her reason was. -_-'

That's that. And I also got my Crest 3D White toothpaste, nothing special.

And a Maybelline Quad, I've been eyeing this particular quad since ThatsHeart from youtube raved about it, but it was 10dollar, and I thought, that's too much for a drugstore quad. But they were having sale on the quads, for only around 5dollar. And I thought, hey! This is freaking cheap.

Sooooo, yeah.

That's what I bought, nothing much, cause yeah I'm on shopping probation.

Sobs.

Youtube video!

2011-04-01T01:38:00.000-07:00

This is completely A PARODY! N and I recorded this when she came here last Winter Break so that we will have something to watch when we miss each other. AWHHHHHH. Nooott.
Enjoy!

Banned from shopping

2011-03-30T23:33:00.000-07:00

I am banned from shopping for a month.

After a month, I could get my essential stuff like my make up remover, my foundation bla bla bla but I couldn't purchase something new. And this rule is set by someone who has been yapping about how I spend my money not so wisely.

After a month and a half, then only I could get some new stuff. But there's gonna be a limit to that as well. Hmmm.

For now, I shall stay away from the malls, from drugmarts, from any online store (freakin hard) or any place that sells any stuff that I should not be buying. And yes, I can still buy food. -__-'

I promise you this is no joke, it is not fun to see your money flowing like water every month. It is not fun to check your account after two weeks and see that you already spent almost 3000dollar. I swear you, this is as bad as any anorexic or bulimic condition that people have. This is also a disease, and if you are like me, please let me know, so I won't feel bad like I am feeling right now. :(

And hereby, I am declaring that ;

I am Diane, and I am a SHOPAHOLIC. And I honestly don't like it.

SPA day and a fab-u-lous dinner. :)

2011-03-30T23:10:00.000-07:00

After all that has been going on (pffttt). Nahh kidding. I went to a SPA because I found a good deal from Wagjag.com for Magic Touch Massage and Relaxation Spa thing so I thought, ehh why not? I haven't been to one since like years. And it also includes one session of Pedicure. I haven't done that in years either! So I grabbed the deal and the appointment was today!

This is what the spa looked like. A nice place I must say, not so big but convenient enough. Pretty deco.

That was the only two proper pictures that I took of the spa. Pfftt, then I was drowned with relaxation massage. Oh I was with a friend. I am not that pathetic, lulz. After almost one hour of whole body massage, we went for the pedicure session.

It looks like I have big legs but I promise you I don't. At least not that big.

She asked me do I do pedicure regularly (errr almost never?) because I have clean and soft feet. And she said my cuticles are really groomed as well. Really? Really? I never in my life care about my cuticles HAHA. I thought she was just you know complimenting customers, but when she put this liquid thing, yeah I kinda saw that my cuticles are well groomed. Hmmm, has someone been doing my pedicure while I sleep at night?

Like a BOSS. Been Tumblring too much ey?

I chose Four Leaf Clover by China Glaze. It is a really pretty colour, I am gonna buy it as soon as I am done with my BANNED-FROM-SHOPPING period, which is a month. Sigh!

With flash! Really gorgeous colour.

So that's about it, then moving on to our fabulous dinner featuring Seafood. I know know I always eat seafood when I'm out and there's a reason for it. And plus, I love seafood more than anything else, since I was small! =)

But I don't like Mussels cooked like this that much. Not a fan of it but I still could eat it.

Be ready for my edited picture. Hoho, well of course there's gonna be at least one of that -__-'

Stuff!

2011-03-27T22:59:00.000-07:00

I have so many things in mind, things to blog about. I even have ideas for videos (whaaat?). I have tons of tutorials to show you guys, and tons of tips on how I cleared my skin and a lot moreee stuff to share, but I just couldn't find the proper time to do all of them!

But no worries, I will. Especially the "how I cleared my skin" post because I really want to help people who have bad skin (like me).

Pictures. (fixed)

2011-03-25T02:06:00.001-07:00

Lately I feel like my posts were all filled with words. So, before I go to bed tonight, let me just present you few random pictures during this Winter term, which I will definitely miss.

1. Dinner with lovelies. =)

2. Edited version (looks more dramatic,no?) of Amy and I.

3. Non-edited version of Amy and I.

4. Aimi and I, couldn't wait to eat those yummy desserts!

5.Thai Mango with Sticky Rice and Banana Split with Crepe! YUM!

6. Seafood night! OMG that sauce in that small bowl on the Dried Squid plate is so freakin delish

7. Amy with her signature, squinted eyes. Haha!

8. Me with silly face trying to make a fun picture. Fail or success?

NIGHT ALL! =)

Advice #1 - Relationship advice

2011-03-24T20:52:00.000-07:00

I got an email today from one of my readers asking me if I would do a relationship advice post for her. I was hmmm, a bit hesitant, as I have failed numbers of rships but when I think back, maybe failing many relationships put me in the position where I can help others with some advice since I have had experiences. So first of all, these are my experiences, and what I would advice my friends if they come to me. And yes, my bestfriends do talk about relationships stuff with me a lot.

Okay so for girls out there who are in bad relationships, or maybe in a good but boring relationships, I might be able to help you but it's all up to yourself at the end of the day.

So, we're gonna start with the fundamental stuff.

After all the relationships I had, all the failed ones, one thing I first learnt was, do not try to compete with your lover's friends. Especially their bestfriends. Okay, here's the truth, when one of our friends starts dating, we are gonna feel neglected. That's normal. Because we were used to having them all for ourselves. But we need to let them have some space for love life. But if they start prioritizing the lover more than anything else, that's when you go to them and say "Know what, your bf/gf is so sick, whenever I look at him/her I want to throw up". Kidding!

But seriously, do not compete with your lover's friends. I have had a guy who I used to date. And his friends didn't like me. Why? Can't blame them. I was too young. And all I knew was "Do you love me or your friends? Do you love me or Manchester United? Do you love me or PS3/Xbox?" Pfttt. I used to go like this "Don't go out with your friends", "Stop playing games and text me/call me", "Fine, if you love them,leave me" bla bla all that annoying crap.

Thinking about that makes me sick. Why would I even ask and say those stuff. We should not compete for love, we should not feel like we have to compete, because if the lover loves us, he will know how to divide time and energy. And as the good girlfriends we are, we need to try to work as a team with the friends. Spend time together sometimes. Be likeable. Don't be a bitch. Cause lemme tell you girl, it won't last long when you have your boyfriend's friends trying to get you out of the way just because you're a gadfly! Been there done that.

Moving on.

Next, how to make sure if he is someone you really wanna be with? Ahhh, this is simple as a pie. If you love him, you love him. Kiddiiinn.

It's not that simple for some people.

One. If you find yourself comparing your bf with your ex, uh oh. Your bf might be the rebound guy. I am proud to say that I got over the worst break up WITHOUT a rebound guy. I am so proud of myself. =)

I mean, if your bestfriend comes up to you and say "Hey tell me about your new bf" just because she haven't met him in person, it's okay to compare him to your ex because your friend knows your ex. Buttt, it gets weird when you keep on comparing and comparing and comparing. Then be careful, you are probably not over your ex. Deal with that first.

Nextttt.

If you are in a relationship, keep things spiced up! =) This is like a personal kind of thing. Every couple has different things they love to do. Just sit back and recall when was the last time you two did something crazy and fun? When you first started dating, how did he impress you and what did you do to melt him? Surprise your lover and do random fun stuff so that your rship won't be a boring one! =)

Number three. As much as people say we should have equality about everything in a relationship. No, it's not true. The guy have to wear the pants in the relationship. Why? Because it is supposed to be that way. But not too much. The guy shouldn't be too protective, too clingy, or too anything. And you certainly can't be a bossy girlfriend! It is such a turn off when you see guys being tied up and following their girlfriends everywhere figuratively. Give some space for your guy to man up. Let him feel like a man. Okay, basically man should hold 55% percent of the relationship and we hold the other 45%! Hey that's not bad at all.

You should be with a guy who you look up to. Not a guy who you step on. Not a guy who you can just take advantages on. Get it? He should be someone you are proud of and not someone you hide from the rest of the world. Same goes to you guys out there.

What else. Hmmm, oh! Do not be a guy who have low mentality. Ugh I hate these kind of people. Even girls with low mentality, I hate. There's nothing more sick than this. Do not be with those kind of people who stereotype a lot. The kind of people who look at someone and judge him/her instantly. People usually look at me and go, "Oh she wears those kinda clothes, she goes to those kinda places, she does this, she does that, she's such a bitch". Pffttt. You don't even fucking know my true self. You never see me cry because of stuff. You never see my downs in life. You never see how traditional I am! So shut it OFF.

Just remember this saying, if it's love, it shouldn't be hard at all.

It shouldn't be hard for you to make sacrifices, it shouldn't be hard for you to do stuff for him. It shouldn't be hard for you to forget all other boys you have ever dated. It shouldn't be hard for anything, because love is the most wonderful thing in life. Love brings people together. Love is what makes the world a better place.

If you are a better person when you are with someone, you might wanna consider staying with him. But if you are a different person when you're with him, that means, you are just being someone who he wants you to be, not someone you want to be.

I don't know your situation, so that's the general advices I could give. You can always ask me if there's something else you wanna know. =)

Working lady 4.

2011-03-21T18:43:00.000-07:00

When I was back in Malaysia, I never get to do like a legit work. All I did was just helping few students with their assignments and I got paid for that. I still remember that was the easiest job ever, not that I'm badmouthing about Malaysia's education level, no. But there were some colleges, especially colleges that are for International Students, they started with lower level of education and they level up as they go. I'm sure you know what I mean.

So, there was this International Student at a college where my brother worked at, he was asking around if there's anyone that can help him with essays. And I remember doing two essays, more like two research papers, and I got like RM200-RM300 for that. Around 100dollar. Yeah, and they were freakin easy, not kidding. And I also used to do translation for formal letters for my another brother's company, letters for the Ministers and Governments and whatnot. I translated them from Malay to English and vice versa.

And I got like RM50 for each letter with 4-5 pages. I remember giving N this one translating job cuz I was kinda lazy. And she got her RM50 as well! That's like 16 or 17 dollar. Sounds cheap but RM50 is a lot, at least for me.

Anyways, during my first year, I was too busy adjusting and being lazy, I didn't bother to find a job or whatnot, but as I discovered how much I am able to and I actually do spend every month, it freakin kills me, and I figured I really really need a job. I do have my scholarship, but with the house rent, phone bills, electric bills, kitchen supplies, and everything else, it won't be enough for me to buy that Chanel! Har.. har.. har.

But it's true. I know I spend a lot. And that's why I know I need to work.

I don't ask money from my parents anymore. I rarely do since I came to Canada. It's been two years. If I asked money from them, I'll pay them back. Cause I feel like it's my time to give back though I have not been giving back that much, but once in a while, I do give my parents some money.

My point is, I have become a better person after I know how hard it is to get money. I mean, eventhough I still do get my scholarships, trust me, they are just enough for essential stuff, and maybe one or two stupid stuff.

Being a desirable person I am, a shopping maniac, it's not enough, But I don't whine, instead, I get a job.

So, let me tell you why this job is such a huge deal for me.

1. I don't ask money from my parents. I do get money esp during Eid Celebration, but not like monthly pocket money. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, I don't ask money from them except for this one time when I just got here, but I paid it back. So other than the scholarship money, I need to find other source to support myself.

2. I wanna wear braces this summer when I go back to Malaysia, so that's around 300dollar ++ right there.

3. I wanna buy myself some nice tech since it's been so long since I've used a high tech, decent phone and laptop. I'm buying myself a Macbook and an iPhone. I might have to choose between these two. So both together would be 1500dollar++. I'm gonna sell this laptop I'm using now for about 500-600dollar, so I need 1000dollar more, right there.

4. I'm going home this summer and the ticket is not cheap I tell you. It might be around 2000dollar which is RM6000++.

5. And of course, it's spring, and I need new clothes and new makeups! =)

So tell me, how do I get all those stuff if I don't have a job. Right right?

Do I sound like a spoiled brat? Wait, I earn that money. EARN. So, I have every effin right to do whatever I want with them.

I'm not tryna brag or whatever, I am just motivating myself, and trying to treat myself with some nice stuff. That's not wrong. =)

Besides, when I started working here, I got to know a lot of people who have been working since they are like 12 13 years old. I mean, back in Malaysia, parents won't even let a 12 year old kid cook their own meals. And here, they work as housekeeper at hotels, cashier, food prep bla bla. Heck my manager is only 17 years old and she's been in the food industry for 6 years. Beat that!

And yes, they still go to school, at least some of them.

Makeup and hair. =)

Aimi in pink dress. Amy in the Grey Cropped Blazer. :)

They both looked awfully beautiful. It's their graduation night and I did the makeup and hair for them with help from Anis! =)

I lolololove the result. Aimi looked like a princess and Amy looked like a successful bussiness woman!

No zoom up pictures of Amy because she was too busy with the video-whatever-thingy. Pffttt.

I did Gold Pink look for Aimi and Black Smokey look for Amy. It didn't show up that good in my camera but I promise you they both looked so hot!

What the room looked like after the makeup and hair session. Lulz. Lots of Q tips and bobby pins. And the rest of the makeups were scattered on the bed. -__-'

Hope they enjoy their grad dinner! =)

Perfect.

This song just fucking touched me. =(

No matter what people think of you, what they say about you. It's always you who knows yourself the best. It's always you who can decide things, it's always you to choose.

You might feel ugly, but someone else thinks you're pretty.

You think no one loves you, your mum who carried you for fucking 9 months in her belly. Don't you think it's too soon to conclude?

You might think that the world is unfair to you, look at those who are starving and have to eat from the garbage.

You might think other girls got it better than you, but they don't have talents like you do. They're not smart like you are and most importantly they are not confident like you always are.

People will always bring us down, every second, every minute, this world is full with hate, but you can help change it.

Don't listen and cry for something that is not worth your tears and your energy.

You are your own master. You rule your world. You decide what you gonna be and one day you are gonna reach your dream.

Things are always rough, and that only means you are gonna get better things at the end.

If you think things are rough for you, remember the less fortunate.

P/S : Pray for Japan and the whole world's safety.

Amirah, Aimi

I'm gonna miss them. :(

HAPPY GRADUATING YOU GUYS!

I love both of you!

Working lady 3.

2011-03-14T23:07:00.000-07:00

I have been busy with training at work. I did bad today though. It was about service and all that crap, and Payton (my workmate) and I were super hyper the whole time and we were giving everyone hard time when we did the play-role as customers. When it was actually our turn to serve the others, we were sweating and saying some inappropriate stuff haha, we weren't being serious, duhh the customers were people we know. It was fun for us, but not good in the eye if the supervisor. But whatever. Tomorrow's gonna be the real day. They are gonna do this opening event thingy, so I think people would be getting free treats. And we will have to serve them superfast since it's free, so obviously a lot of people will stop by.

Seriously guys, it's not that easy, serving ice creams that HAVE to look like this every single time. Yes there's no machine that would automatically make an ice cream that shapes like that. There are techniques we all need to master, hard ones. The layered balls and especially the curl are freaking hard to make!

Yes the curls are the trademarks. We have to do it in every single treat. And you see those Blizzard thingy? It's like McDonald's McFlurry but personally I think they are yummier. And we have to serve it UPSIDE DOWN to show that we did it with the right portions. If we put like 1 spoon extra ice cream, it will become runny and will spill all over when you turn it upside down. But you need to do it everytime, it's part of the trademarks too. Pffttt.

Apart from that, I'm enjoying my time over there, but I want this training period to be over with already, cause the supervision is not fun anymore, they are getting more and more serious. I just want to work under not so much pressure.

I'm trying not to eat those sweet treats too much, as I'm slowing down on my sugar intakes, but it's just impossible. Pfft.

I got it! =)

2011-03-12T23:51:00.000-08:00

Thanks to everyone who wished me luck for the job cause I got it! =)

And now we are all in the training period, seriously guys, there's so much to learn but I love my work so far!

All the people are just amazing, and funny, they bring a lot of energy which I love. I laugh a lot, I laugh like I've known them since a while.

I like knowing new people and making new friends. And I got paid while spending time with them? Awesome. But that's just for training. I don't know who're gonna get the same shifts as mine when we actually start working. Oh, of course we got paid for training. Duhh.

Yeah, so there was this one time, we were watching the DVD on like introductions and how-tos and all those stuff related to smoothie, ice cream, waffle and etc making. There was a tutorial teaching how to peel off the banana without touching it bla bla. Typical stuff. And the trainer was asking us,

"For medium size, how much banana should you add?"

And us girls were like, "JUST 4 INCHES! Not more, not bigger" and we would laugh so hard.

And one of the girls said, "I was thinking about it this whole time but I didn't say it out loud cause there were these Asian people in the morning session"

And I was laughing so harddddd, I didn't realize everyone was looking at me. And when they saw me laughed, they were so relieved cause they thought they offended me.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

So funny!

Then one of the girls said to me "OMG you were laughing the loudest everytime we make this banana joke and yet you're Asian, you go girl"

I love them!

And I get to snack on ice creams and fruit smoothies and lot more. What not to love?

But I guess, when we start the actual shifts, I'll just end up tired and whatnot, cause yeah work gets tiresome after awhile.

So tomorrow's gonna be our third day of training. And tomorrow's also gonna bring us one hour closer to Malaysia's time. It's all the Daylight Saving crap.

But yeah doesn't matter.

I have a video coming up, yayy! But I don't know when it will be up, maybe this Monday or Tuesday the latest.

For now, I'm just all about waking up, school (or maybe not), work, then got back home. I removed my makeup right away, then just lie in the bed with some good books or movies. I really don't do much this Winter. But behold, things are gonna get rough. Lololololol.

Anyways, it's 1am here, and I am planning to hit the gym tomorrow morning, so I might try to go to bed now.

Loves!

Wish me luck for my job interview! :)

2011-03-08T20:51:00.001-08:00

Hye!

So Nada and I are thinking to start a new Vlog channel just because we think it's easier to do reviews by filming it but it's not gonna happen anytime soon, probably in a month or so. And we're looking for a cool name for the channel. Something pretty, something hot, something cheerful.

Definitely not something science or engineering related. Lulz.

Anyone have any suggestions? Please no rOseMaRyzZz69 or anything like that. -_-'

Anyways, I am currently being slapped by reality when I got like numerous break outs on my face. I haven't been drinking enough water. I have been sleeping at 6 am and waking up so late. Haven't had any good exercise time. I've been snacking too much sweets and the worst part is, I've been skipping my skin care routine.

I am just recovered from the break outs that suddenly infected me, like so nasty. Haha sounds nasty. Well, not that nasty. But I had like 3-4 huge zits and I was really depressed cause I rarely get huge zits whenever I'm in Edmonton.

I'll get occasional small red bumps, but no big zits. So, I was like, why why?

Refer to the above reasons, I had to choose from many. And also, as most of you guys know, I've been wearing my Laura Mercier Face Primer. Could that be one of the reasons? Ermmmm, maybe. But maybe not. But either way, I am gonna return it to Sephora cause I'm not gonna risk anything by like trying them and see if it's the one that has been breaking me out.

So now I'm trying to sleep right, fixing my sleep cycle again, I couldn't sleep last night and I fell asleep around 5 or 6 am? And got up around 10am or so. And I am feeling so so sleepy right now but I'm trying not to sleep so early, or else I'll end up being awake at 3 or 4am and my sleep cycle gets crazy again.

Pffttt. My skin is really sensitive to these kind of changes. I know MOST people don't even breakouts if they sleep with their makeups on occasionally. But bear in mind, that's gonna affect you in a long run. You're gonna age so much faster, like ten thousand times faster.

And I went to drugmart last night, I didn't get anything beauty related so much, I got like chips and white breads, and waffles, those kinda stuff. But I did get things that I'm running low on like my Revlon foundation and my HOLY GRAIL Neutrogena Sheer Sunscreen.

And the best purchase I made was the Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil Hair Creme. It's olive oil, obviously to repair your hair damage. But I only used it once, so I am not gonna say much. Maybe after two weeks or so, let's see if it really works.

For the last past few days, I have been forcing myself to drink enough amount of water. Oh trust me, I am bad at reminding myself to drink enough water everyday. So, I always have this water bottle beside my bed, and refill it like 4 5 times a day. But lately, I felt sick when I drink water. I don't know why, I feel like throwing up. It doesn't feel good at all. And this is weird, cause I love plain water. I think it might be the piping system in this building, I think the water is not so clean or something. I do still drink it when I get thirsty, but I cannot like force myself to drink it when I don't feel like it. Do you get what I mean? I need to force myself to drink water eventhough I don't feel thirsty cause I'm trying to drink the right amount of water everyday. Geddit? Geddit? Ok Diane your readers are not stupid, they got it.

So I've been drinking this Raspberry Flavoured Water. And it's basically water with 4% of Sodium. So it kinda works the same but it has a better taste. It's kinda pricey though, a dollar for a bottle. Imagine if I drink 2 or 3 bottles a day. And I would spent 60dollars just on plain water every month. But this is just temporary while the management fix the piping system so that it won't give water that tastes like rice water anymore, blurgh.

Oh, I have a job interview tomorrow morning. Please please wish me luck!

I really need this job. Note, NEED not want. I need it pretty badly.

That's about it!

Thank you guys for reading, loves.

Unstable post.

2011-03-04T21:39:00.000-08:00

Just a random post before I go watch my boyfriend in 127 hours. Yeah my boyfriend is James Franco.
This is us during the Pineapple Express premiere I believe. I was wearing my V-neck Vera Wang dress if I'm not mistaken.

I personally think my boyfriend did a horrible job hosting Oscars this year but he's forgiven, he's my boyfriend for God's sake.

Okay I shall stop that now.

Anyways, I was at the gym earlier, I wanted to go for a swim so bad. But turned out, I was like 30 mins late, the pool was closed. So I worked out and went for a sauna. The best part was, I took a shower at the gym shower area. My first time. I felt like living in a dorm again. Yeah, I went to a gym that is 15 mins walk from the house mainly to shower. -__-' Obviously not, but everyone was taking shower and I brought my towel and spare clothes cause I thought I would be swimming, so why not join in the fun? I made few friends during the shower. Hahahaha.

Then I went to get a coffee. Then here I am, back home, feeling like a dead zombie again.

I must go to class tomorrow, M.U.S.T. My second midterm is just around the corner. I don't like the term "around the corner". I feel like everyone is using them and I feel like it's something you say when you have nothing else to say.

Am I making sense?

Disclaimer : If you don't feel like reading angry post, click x now. If you still wanna read, do not feel offended or disturbed by the content of the following paragraphs. HAHAHAHAHA, now that's lame. No, I'm serious.

I am having a lot of free time than I should be. But believe meeeee, I do not like it even a bit. Not even a bit. I was so used to being busy most of the time, studying all those engineering subjects, but I rarely complain. I mean yes I've said stuff like

"Can't wait to get this over with"

"Holiday, come fast"

bla bla bla, but they were just sayings. I rarely complain and whine cause honestly I wasn't taking any of them seriously. Haha what do I take seriously in life? Nothing. Na-da. Nothing. And I rarely complain because I basically think that I have nothing much to do here if I don't fill my time with homeworks and assignments. Sure, once in a while, I go to a nice restaurant, or the mall, or anywhere fancy, but they can be pretty boring if I have to do it every freaking day.

And I hundred percent HATE it when people say it's so freaking fun to be me now, having free time, waking up late, doing nothing, just tiny bit of homeworks bla bla bla. NO IT IS NOT FUN! It is not even near to fun I tell you. Being SO BORED and not having anything to do is NOT FUN!

And mocking me how free I am, and bla bla bla. Oh well, wanna know something? Go wipe your own a$$. I never wanted to be in this position, so don't act like you know what I am going through. Cause you don't. You think it's fun having to be in a crisis like this? It is not twat. Honestly, I much prefer to be busy right now but still be on the right track than being so free and work-less but having to bear with the consequences later.

Sigh.

I am not angry right now, but I just had enough of this. I just had enough of feeling like I need to prove to everyone something that I don't even know what it is.

Leave me alone, and take care of your own business.

But being me, I embrace everything as much as I can. So if it's fated for me to have lots of free time, I try to embrace it. I try to have fun, but this place won't allow me to. First of all, I don't have my party people here. And second of all, refer to the first reason. Lulzzzz.

And I am trying to get a job, but only 1 out of gazillion store is hiring. Sigh.

So yeah that's it.

I am sorry if this post offends anyone. Didn't mean to. It's just that right now, right here, this blog is my only bestfriend. Hence, the whining. Lol. I don't even know if I can talk to anyone anymore. Oh wait, I don't. I even feel like I don't have friends. P.a.t.h.e.t.i.c.

You stink, kiddin! :)

2011-03-03T14:28:00.001-08:00

Hye good morning, and good night. Depending on when you read this. I should probably go shower now, but yeahhhhhhhhhh.

It's almost 4pm here, dang! I seriously need to go shower. Stop repeating that. Ok.

Anyways, I am beginning to abandon this place as I write more on LUUUX nowadays.
After all, I mostly do reviews and stuff, and writing reviews there are much easier.

But I still love love this blog. I have been with blogspot for almost 3 or 4 years. Of course I am not getting any benefit like those famous bloggers are. I am not into that kind of purpose. I just have fun writing. But if anyone wants to come up to me and give me money, I would appreciate that very much. Well, in your dreams Diane.

Anyhoos, it is so cold right now, I barely go out from the house.

But I went groceries shopping with Anis last night and it was freakin cold, we had to go in the mall, (all the shops were closed cause it was past 6pm) and we took our shoes and socks off and just sat there like homeless people and tried to get some heat for our NUMB feet. I was thiiiissss close to crying!

But for food's sake, we continued our journey. Lulz (we got a cab). Hahaha.

Be thankful for the heat! Esp people in Malaysia. Be thankful, trust me, you much want to live in 40degree celcius rather than -40 degree celcius! At least, it's not that hot at night in Malaysia (cause I usually go out at night).

This post is pointless, but that's me, I am sometimes pointless!

HAR HAR HAR.

Gonna go shower now! Hope you guys showered, cause if not, ehhh you stink!

I am soo hungryyy! I am always hungry and I am very broke so not good not good!

Anyways, today I wanna talk about my NEW FAVOURITE website!

Why is it my new favourite?

Because it is a site where you sign up, and you write, you read, you comment, you review, basically a place to blog, but at the same time, you earn points and once your points are enough, you can claim your prizes. They have almost everything I dream from makeups to gadgets.

They have iPhone 4, iPod Touch, Macbook!

But hey wait. It's not like "you sign up, Macbook arrives in your mail tomorrow"

NO! You have to be patient. A lot of people who earn their prizes are mostly famous people like Youtube Celebrities and whatnot. So the chances for normal and humble people LIKE ME to get one of the prizes soon is SMALL SMALL. But ehhhh, I love writing, reading articles, commenting on them, reading reviews, writing reviews and whatnot, so even if it's gonna take me 10 friggin years to win a Macbook, I would!

HAHAHA, well of course my aim is not just that.

I am too bored nowadays, I have lots of free time, and I haven't found a job.

So I'll be stuck with my computer 24-7 everyday.

I am so lifeless. Plus, it's so cold outside, I barely want to go out. I would snuggle in my blanket and watch Pretty Little Liars, or any movie or I would be on this new website!

Taraaaaa!

Click on the button above to know more about the website.

I mean, if you love blogging, and readin articles, or commenting, you might as well earn points by doing things you love and at least dream of winning something, no?

Nothing to lose. And don't worry, it is not a SCAM. Completely harmless.

If you sign up, add me as friend!

I can comment on any crap you write, and you'll get points for that! HORHORHOR.

You can thank me later!

YUM!

Sephora haul.

2011-02-27T20:18:00.000-08:00

I went to Sephora again, -___-' and this time, I went alone and spent some serious time in there. If I went there with friends, especially guy friends, I would be asked to hurry and not stare at one blush for 10 minutes HAHA. So yeah, this time, I walked really slowly on each aisle!

I bought these few stuff, and the one thing I am so very excited about is this Bella Bamba from Benefit blush. I saw this featured in one of Blair Fowler's Youtube videos and she was so excited about it too but then I was like, hmmm skeptical. I mean, it might look pretty on her, but nahhh. I'll pass. Then, when I was at Sephora, I tried NARS blush, Smashbox blush, and I was like, "I want something new, something I really really like". Then I went again to the Benefit booth, randomly picked up some of this particular blush's colour and put it on my cheeks with my fingers and they looked really nice on me! I officially LOVE this blush. That was what I wanted. The first time I tried, I instantly liked it! And it has cute small mirror in it, something rare with Benefit blushes or bronzers for that matter.

But it's very expensive so I am not sure if I will return for this product. It is $36.

Now, I have been eyeing this since November last year. But not this particular one, I liked the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray and I still remember that there was only one kind of bottle when I visited Sephora last year, and this time, they have THREE different kinds of Makeup Setting Spray.

I was very hesitant between this one and Urban Decay Moisturizing Dew Me Makeup Setting Spray. Cause whenever I'm in Canada, my skin gets really dry, but when I go back to Malaysia, my skin gets oily. Not really oily, but I need to retouch my makeup few times, so I figured, I'm just gonna get this one, the De Slick Makeup Setting Spray for Oily and Acne-Prone skin, because it is gonna be Spring soon and followed by summer, so yeah. I'll just use the Laura Mercier Primer to make sure my make up stays on place during Winters.

So, for this spray, you spray one time on your clean washed face BEFORE applying makeup, and one more time after you are done with your makeup and it's gonna hold your makeup for hours!

This is a bit tad expensive, I believe it's $35.

The one thing that I love the most is, it prevents your foundation from cracking.

Then, I got this Benefit To Go Stay Put Set. They have eyelid primer Stay Don't Stray, Erase Paste Brightening Camouflage for eyes and face and also one Cream Shadow/Liner in gold, really pretty colour! This set is only 22dollar I believe, and they are all mini sizes.

Now, why did I get mini sizes products for those? Because I believe that I don't need eyelid primer that often. If I use eyeshadow for school or everyday basis, I'll just base it with my face primer and my foundation, it works just about the same. But if I'm gonna go to some events or if I'll be out from morning till night, or somewhere I'll be sweating, then only I'll use eyelid primer. And must I tell you, that is really rare. And I have my Covergirl concealer that works as a brightener as well and I use that for an everyday use.

I am lately in love with electric coloured eyeliners. I have always been the Blackest Black eyeliner girl. I love Black Eyeliner, I feel like they enhance our eyes so much it looks impossible! :) But I have been meaning to try something different lately so I was always trying the tester and sample coloured eyeliner products and I loved them! So, I got two of them, they are CRAZY PRETTY!

This one is Sephora Eyeliner Creme Smokey in The Deep End, and it is an electric blue which really stands out when you apply it on your lashline! It's a gel liner, OMG really pretty. It's $13 I think, a bit expensive for an eyeliner, but it holds a lot of product so it's worth it!

And this one is Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Shimmer Electric Purple. L.O.V.E! And this is only like $7!

So yeah, that's it. Hope this is somewhat helpful :)

I am still thinking should I go to the mall today? Or some other day? Wait, I'm gonna check the weather today.

It's -12 degree, kinda warm and it gonna get colder and colder tomorrow and the dayssss after tomorrow. I better go today. But I just wanna blog real quick, I got an email from Blippy, reminding me to write a review about my Sephora purchases. But I only got one thing with my own money that goes into my Sephora account. My friend bought me others, so they don't go into my account, such a waste. But sokay.

So here's one thing I bought last week,

Laura Mercier Foundation Primer 1.75 oz

I bought this at Sephora few days ago, and I am satisfied with it. I have always had problem with new products because some of them will only break me out but this one doesn't. It gives my face a really nice smooth feeling before I apply my foundation and I have large pores on my face, so it fills those pores before I put on my foundation. I must say, this is very affordable pricewise, because it has a lot in it, and it is gonna last me a long time. Overall, I recommend buying this, for a long lasting and smooth foundation application. :)

True indeed.

Punjab.

2011-02-22T13:19:00.000-08:00

Today is gonna be food post. My friends and I went to this Indian restaurant last weekend. It's called Punjab Sweets & Restaurants. The dining is very nice, they have buffet for dinner and it's about 12-14dollar. The price is good since you can eat all you want. You can stay there for as long as you want.

My MOST FAVOURITE meal of the restaurant is the Lamb Curry, they are so yummeh! That's N's favourite meal too. She loves the lamb curry so much she was always talking about it last holiday when she came to visit us here, so we took her there and it was like heaven to her.

This picture below from the left is : Lamb Curry, Okra something something (I can't remember the name but this veggie meal is so so freaking delish!), and the most right one is Aloo Palak, but I don't really fancy that particular one, maybe it's just me, it's spinach and potato. On the plate, obviously there's rice and also Fish Tikka.

Picture below is the crunchiest yummiest fried chicken ever. They are not wings, they also have drumsticks but all in small parts. And the sauce in the bowl, is the Sweet Sauce! MY FAVOURITE. This is like my closing meal before dessert of course.

Here are some other meals, like Chicken Curry, Chicken Beriyani, Tandoori Chicken and a lot more!

This is fruits and salads section.

This is like all the sauces that taste so sweet and sour and hot at the same time. PURRRFECT.

One of my dessert plates. This one has the fruit Cantaloupes, Samosa, and also the Ladoo. Ladoo is lke the traditional Indian sweets. So yum!

Of course, at least one picture of me he. he. he... My friends think that they are proffesional photographers taking pictures very fast, but turns out that my camera never focus! -__-' Hence the blurry image of me.

This is one of my favourite restaurant in Edmonton. Gonna miss it.

=)

2011-02-21T22:52:00.000-08:00

As we all know, okay maybe not all, I might be, MIGHT, be moving out from E-town soon. And I have been feeling happy one time and sad another time about it, so to make myself feel better, I am gonna list the Pros and Cons about it and try to exceed the number of cons. Just another crappy post.

Should I start with Pros? Nahhhh, I'll start with Cons!

CONS

1.I will miss my friends SO MUCH SO SO SO MUCH!

2.I will miss West Edmonton Mall, Southgate, Dream Tea House, good yummy restaurants, and everything that are here as this place I MIGHT be going is I don't know, a bit more humble I guess?

3.I will be lonely,a loner. Without anyone to fight anymore. Sobs.

PROS

1.I can fight with Nada? Hehe...

3.I can save money! Something I am purely not able to do.

4.I will be more focused on my studies

5.Less distractions

6.I can put my relationship to test. HAH!

7.Eventhough I will be lonely, I'll get a cat to play with, something that I am not able to get here. (Pathetic pet owner who does not have anyone else to love to or being loved by else than the cat)

8.I can think of it as a meditation period, where I am away from the negative-ness eventhough I am not sure what are those negativenesss -__-'

9.I will buy an iPhone just so I can FaceTime ALLTHETIME.

10.I will rock that small town with Nada!

11.Ouh, I will have bigger chance to a better grades thus better future as there are less distractions!

I feel like jumping on the bed nowwwwww.

How to find the perfect jeans for you.

2011-02-19T00:47:00.001-08:00

I used to have this problem all the time when I was still a kid. I always seem to choose the wrong fit for me. I'd choose the one that are too long for me and fold it? And the one that are too short for me and I look like a .... weirdo.

Well of course there are these styles that you can see on runaways and even on the street, they wear jeans that are long and fold it up, and they wear jeans that are abit too short and pair it with a boots. It's stylish, really.

But let me just clarify really clearly, I am talking about our everyday jeans. Not too weird looking, just simple and nice fitting jeans.

That you can just grab and go.

My tips for finding the right jeans for you,

First, I think the fundamental thing is to know your waist and your size. However, sizes differ at every stores, but mostly they tend to be in the same range.

Let's say, you are size 26, when you go in a store, you pick three sizes around that. 25, 26, 27. Try them on. And see which one fits you perfectly.

By saying perfectly, I mean not too loose, not to tight. How to make sure?

Okay firstly you examine the part around your them, area between your thigh. Around your private area. This is awkward, haha. Anyways, if you can see too many lines around that area, that jeans is too tight. If you can see the fabric sagging down from that area, it's too loose. It should perfectly sit comfortably. If you feel comfortable, then yes.

When you put on your jeans. You need to stand with your leg wide open. And bend down three times to get the jeans in place with your legs. I AM SERIOUS I DO THIS ALL THE TIME especially with skinny jeans. Cause you don't want the butt part sag down like a punk kid, no?

Then the length of the jeans, simple.

For skinny jeans, never ever get a jeans that is higher than your ankle and low until it touches the ground. It should perfectly cover your ankle and that's it, it shouldn't cover your feet. See below.

But, when you are choosing a bell bottom (flares according to everyone else but me haha i am so last year) jeans, you should fine one that are a bit longer. It should cover all the way down to your feet, leave only 2-3 cm of skin from your "sole feet" that touches the ground and up.

Next, your butt. Your butt area shouldn't be wrinkling too much and shouldn't be sagging. The same rules as the crotch area above.

This below is too erm,wrong looking. See that middle area, you can see it sag, you can pinch the fabric. You shouldn't be able to pinch the fabric around this area!

Perfect looking jeans below! You think you're able to pinch her jeans fabric? NO! You'll pinch her meat instead. That's the definition of perfect-butt-fit.

I hope this helps.

Food.

2011-02-16T15:58:00.000-08:00

I planned to finish my 70pages reading and analysing each page of it today and start doing my essay tomorrow but I am too hungry to do anything.

There's no food a home to cook, cause we are all too lazy to go out to do some grocery shopping. There's literally nothing, except some flour, sugar,salt and all other cooking sauce but no chicken no fish no prawns no anything in the fridge. Blurgh.

So I decided to order some Chinese seafood. All I have to do is cook rice and wait for the food to arrive. Hurm, that actually rhyme. Anyways, I ordered

Prawn with Black Bean Sauce. (the plate below is the same plate my family use at home, sometimes I feel like my mum has a cooking blog -__-' )

This tastes sweet and salty at the same time, it's purrrfect.

Fish fillet with Sweet Sour sauce, I am not a big fan of fish fillet but they don't have the real fish. But this tastes good enough. I'm hungry now I can eat anything!

Deep fried squid! YUMMM! I can be watching TV all day with this by my side as a snack!

And one of my favourites! EGG TOFU WITH SCALLOP. OMG it's so delishhh!

Food, please arrive fast!

HUNGERRRRRRRRRR!

Second tag!

2011-02-15T17:58:00.000-08:00

I had my first midterm this morning, so now is my time to pamper myself with some alone blogging time.

I woke up so early this morning, the earliest of the year 2011! I woke up at 7.30 am. Lol.

I used to be so busy with classes and assignments and all during past few terms, but I am having a relaxing term this Winter. I was so used to waking up at 7am, sleeping at 3am. Drinking more than one cup of coffee everyday, and yada yada. So now, it's my turn to have a relaxing semester, cause I'm gonna have a busy time ahead for years.

I didn't have my make up on when I went for the exam this morning. Before you judge me, let me say, I am a girl, I love make ups! Well, I don't judge you for not wearing make ups. I don't go all

"Euw, look at that girl. Look at those eyebags, look at those uncovered large pores, look at those uneven untrimmed eyebrows, those flat and boring eyelashes"

HAHAHAHA! On your face.

Anyways, I have a tag to do tonight, it is the DAILY COSMETIC ROUTINE! Need I say more? Heh.

So here goes;

MORNING ROUTINE

-I brush my teeth. Duh.

-I shower and let my pores open up with the help of the shower steam

-I wash my face with my Neutrogena Deep Cleanse and rinse off with cold water so that when I put my make up later on, it won't get inside my pores and clog and break me out

-I put on my Neutrogena Sunscreen

-While letting it dry, I put on my Keratin Mist on my damp hair and put on some chapstick on the dry lips!

-I put my make up on ;

If I'm in hurry, I put on my foundation, fill in my eyebrows, put on mascara, some highlighter and bronzer.

If I'm not in hurry, I put on foundation, just slight face powder to set the foundation, fill in the eyebrows, put on some eyeshadows, eyeliner and mascara. Some bronzer, blush, and highlighter. Lastly, lipstick.

If I'm lazy and in a real hurry like have only 3 mins, I put on my foundation and bronzer only.

-If I don't have time, I put on my heat protectant and blowdry my hair. If I have a lot of time, I let it airdry,more healthier that way.

NIGHT ROUTINE

- Recently added to the routine, I put on the CREST WhiteStrips and take it off after 30mins

-I remove my make up using my POND'S Makeup Removing Towelette

-If I'm in the mood, I'll use my Ginale Skin Peel kit, if I'm feeling all lazy and just-want-to-go-to-bed, I'll wash my face with Neutrogena Deep Cleanse.

-I brush my teeth.

-I floss

-I brush my teeth again

-I gargle my Listerine mouthwash

-I put on some moisturizer

-I use my Burt's Bees chapstick before I go to bed

-I drink some water and sleep!

My routine changes by time, it depends on my mood. Please, I've had some nights where I didn't remove my make up and just doze off and felt bad the morning after. But yeah, it's life.

Long post alert!

2011-02-11T00:29:00.000-08:00

In order to cheer me up, let's counter the previous post with something else!
I went to the drugstore the other day and I got few stuff. I couldn't get a lot, cause I'm saving money. And I haven't yet had the chance to go to Sephora or MAC or even the mall. Well, maybe for these 3 months, I won't be visiting the mall. I am seriously saving my money.

Anyways, I used to be all about make up. I mean I still am but now I am also all about fixing the naturalssss.
Hm,okay,example.
Back then, I wouldn't be taking the hassle to use the heat protectant spray before I did my hair. I used to dye my hair a lot, I used to put a lot of chemicals on it too.
But now, I am all about caring about it. I use heat protectant everytime I'm using heat tools. I put Keratin on my hair. I have my special shampoo that would make my hair healthier, and will help it grow faster. I don't dye my hair. I love my natural hair colour, so why the hassle? :)

Back then, I used to be all about make up, and covering up and yada yada. But now I am also about using scrub, using the right moisturizer, using sunscreen everytime I go outdoor, put lotions on everyday, fix the dark under eye circle with certain eye creams.

Do you get what I'm trying to say?

I am still loving makeups, but I am also all about preserving the nature of the body.
Ha. . ha. .

So, I love coffee, and I have high intake of urm, let's just say, chemicals that can affect the colour of my teeth. I can't give up coffee, I can't give up those chemicals in them. I can't runaway from them but I don't want my teeth to get more and more yellow over time either. So, eventhough it's a little bit pricey, I hope Crest Whitening Strips can help me with my issues.

It is supposed to work well, that's what I expect since most reviews on them are pretty awesome. It's just a strip where you place on your teeth like this picture below and leave it there for as long as you want! Kidding, read the instructions on the back.

Secondly, I am trying to grow my hair. And I am trying to repair them so that they can be voluminous and healthy. I used to have split ends, but thank God, I stopped having them after I stopped dying my hair. My hair is now pretty much okay, but it's really really dry. So I buy Biolage Shampoo and Conditioner to help with my issues, again. You can get this at the drugstore, but there are much cheaper at my University hair salon.

So this picture below is the CHI Keratin Mist, it is some sort of vitamins to repair your hair and keep them healthy. A lot of people have been saying good things about this product, so yeah! Hopefully.

Nothing fancy, a new heat protectant. Must must have one if you blowdry your hair most of the days and use all sorts of heat tools.

Now I have been DIY-ing my makeup remover for these past few months and I loved it! It's cheap, it lasts long, it works on my skin but the only thing I don't like is the pricey cotton pad. I mean, seriously, 5dollar for 30 pieces small round cotton pad? And when I have my make up on, I'd usually use 3-4 pads everytime I'm removing my make up, including the eyeliner, mascara and everything. So I decided to try POND'S Cleansing & Makeup removing towelettes. It's only 9 dollar I think? And it has 30 pieces in it. But each towelettes is big, and I only use one everytime I remove my make up. It works really goood! Seriously, it removes makeups like no one's business! I love this product. :)

I also got this Blistex Complete Moisture chapstick. I use Vaseline and I love it, but they don't have SPF in them and this one has SPF15 so everyday I'll put on this chapstick first and let it dry, then I'll put on my lipstick. I loveeee this chapstick.

Now, moving on to makeups. I didn't get a whole lot of drugstore makeups cause I'm saving some money for SEPHORA for later. I only got these for school, or for everyday look when I don't feel like using expensive stuff.

Firstly, the ELF Beauty Book! I am currently obsessed with eyeshadows, and I'll wear them everyday (just because I have a lot of free time), and I'd go for the neutral bronze brown colour so I won't look too dramatic. And this palette right here is perfect! I love the packaging. and it's only 7-9 dollar? So cheap. And the eyeshadow is pigmented enough for me.

On the inside, they look like this. They have this little mirror, and all the neutral colours for eye makeups. It has brushes and a brown eyeliner, but I don't use them. But I still keep them anyways.

I tried out N's Maybelline Lasting Drama Eye Studio Gel Liner last year and I loved it! I have been meaning to pick this one up but I keep forgetting it. But I got it now. And I love it! I got in Blackest Black. They come with the brush, and they are easy to apply. I don't tug my eyes when I wear my eyeliner anymore (tugging your eyes is really bad). I have always loved this product!

I got a new mascara despite the other mascaras that I already have, but I love getting different ones. Just so I can create the look I want. If I want more dramatic look, I'd go for CoverGirl LashBlast, if I want less dramatic but still long lashes, I'd go for this one right here. Maybelline Lash Stiletto. I've used this a couple of times, and I love the effect! The only downside is, I got mine in Brown Black (I think) and I am always a Blackest Black person. But I guess, I can live with that.

Last thing I got was Revlon Matte Lipstick in 003 Mauve It Over. I love the colour. It's pink with a slight brown tint to it.

So yeah. That's basically it!

Quarter after 1

2011-02-11T00:24:00.000-08:00

It's a quarter after 1,

I'm all alone,

and I need you knowww.

I know I have things to do, I know I have friends around.

But honestly, very very deeply, I am very lonely right now.

I don't get this feeling often, but tonight, yeah.

I am surrounded by five six people around, but it's just that lonely feeling you get eventhough you are surrounded by tons of friends around.

You know what I mean?

Hm, hard to explain.

But, lonely is the best word I can think of right now.

Too much is on my plate right now. Too much. But I'm gonna take it easy, and do what I do worst!

Fight!

Hey, at least I'm trying.

:'(

Thanks!

2011-02-07T13:14:00.000-08:00

Thanks a lot! :)

Gamer?

2011-02-07T13:07:00.000-08:00

I am not a big Playstation or Xbox person. I mean, the only thing I am kinda decent at is Kinect Dance Central, and maybe other Kinect games, like the Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventure, yada yada.

Due to the massive amount of boredom I'm having this winter term, I decided to try Left4Dead2.

I've played the first edition before, and I've seen my friends play them a lot, but I never really liked it.

But, people say, first impression are not necessarily true.

I am beginning to love love L4D2. I am still on easy mode, I'm a newbie, what to say. But I love it! When I move out, I am definitely getting an Xbox! I am gonna try Black Ops as well some time soon. Just to see if I can relate those two games.

I sucked at shooting games, but I think I'm improving.

God, what's happening? What am I turning into?

Some pathetic gamer who plays game all the time? Oh well, that doesn't sound so bad. :)

P/s: Tonight is Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl night, can't wait. :)

More than just,

2011-02-05T23:09:00.000-08:00

She is freaking back.

2011-02-05T21:02:00.000-08:00

I honestly think that it has been so long since I poured my heart out on this blog, writing whatever I want to, without caring what people have to say. I also honestly think that being so concern about other people thoughts are not me. So here it is, a post where I will write whatever shit I want and you just have to deal with it.

I don't know about you but I am having a crisis in my life right now. I might be good at faking it, by making everything looks okay, by making myself looks calm and okay, but truth is, everything is not okay, and I am not okay. I am scared to death.

I am not saying like I have the biggest problem ever in this entire world, but they are many and big enough to let me feeling worthless every single morning I wake up and every single time I look to myself.

I feel worthless.

I feel useless.

I don't feel happy. At all.

Everything is just wrong to me. Everything in my life. I can't remember when was the last time that I woke up, put on make up happily, do my hair, dress up cheerfully and be happy for the day. Like, really really happy. I can't remember that.

I don't have anyone I can talk to. Or maybe let me rephrase that. I don't think I am able to talk to anyone that are close to me about this. Wait, let me rephrase again, I don't think I am capable to open up to anyone that are close to me about this.

I wake up with no determination, with no aim, with no ambition, with no objective, and that's just so sad.

Cause you know who I used to be? I'm the girl who used to flip my hair and smile, and be happy, and hug my friends, and rock whatever it is that I have though I know that I wasn't great at all. But I was, to myself. I felt happy, and content, and proud of myself for being such a strong girl.

But now, I hate myself. That phase might be overrated. But I hate myself now. Not that I am not grateful for what I have, but I hate myself for being so lazy in life, ambitionless, for just letting go when I am supposed to fight for what I deserve, fight for what I want. I hate myself cause I used to always work for what I want until I get what I want, but I don't anymore.

I hate myself for being so weak, for being so dependant. I hate it.

I have no directions in life, I hate people around me, I hate people who are not around me, I hate people in general, I hate everyone for that matters, I even hate myself. I need a getaway, and I need to get out from this negative zone real soon.

I need to get out from here, and I mean it literally, technically, and figuratively.

Edmonton is no longer my place. It's not the place itself, it's not the weather, it's the negativeness people are bringing to it.

I hate it that I have to fake myself everyfreakingday when I am not that person. I want to be myself and I cannot do that while I'm here.

I need to be my self again and be far away from Edmonton.

I need to do that, and I need to do it quick.

Regards,

Diane.

DAY TEN.

2011-02-05T13:36:00.000-08:00

Day Ten: One confession

I am not who you think I am. Period.

Beauty Tip 2.

2011-02-04T15:21:00.000-08:00

SUNSCREEN!

Sunscreen is love. It's a must. Seriously, it might not show the effects now, but it will in a long term. Your skin will have this some sort of black pigmentation when you get older. Doesn't matter if it's day or night, use your sunscreen to protect your skin.

I used to be skeptical about this, and I skipped this step everytime I go out.

Cause I think,that sunscreen will only make me oily, especially in the summer. But no, sunscreen doesn't make your face oily. You make your face oily. You, and your diet, and your choice of skincare line and make ups.
If you know that you have oily face, opt for the ones that has been made specially for oily skin, use make ups for oily skin,wear masks for oily skins,

and oil is not necessarily a bad thing. Oily skin is usually more healthy than dry skin. Your job is to know how to control the amount of oil in your skin.

I thank God I have normal to oily skin. Most people that suffer with skin disease are the ones with dry skin. But dry skin is also not a bad thing, you just have to put extra effort to find a good moisturizer and face cream for you.

I cannot stress enough how better my skin has been since I start using sunscreen religiously. I struggled with acne for years. Sounds dramatic, no? Anyways, you get the point. And I have been finding the perfect sunscreen for me and I found it!

It is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 30

It is DERMATOLOGICALLY RECOMMENDED and it is the best sunscreen I have ever used. It's a bit pricey but it lasts you a long time and it is so worth it.

Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, girls, please start using one already. You will notice the difference in no time.

Note : Chris Gibson has always been stressing about the importance of sunscreen and I am just basically repeating his words in my own words.

DAY NINE.

2011-02-04T15:20:00.000-08:00

Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.

='( and =)

Simple. I am happy but I am sad at the same time. I want it to happen but I am afraid what might happen. I want to go, but I don't want to leave. Geddit geddit?

I am one weird human being.

DAY EIGHT.

2011-02-03T11:16:00.000-08:00

Day Eight: Three turn ons.

1. Guys who play sports/guitar/drum, and good at it. (esp SPORTS)

2. When he seems like someone who couldn't care less, but deep inside he does. And sometimes he shows it, but not all the time. Not too clingy and not too protective. Act like you don't care, but when I do really stupid things, that's when you snapped. And when I'm being too far for too long, that's when you call and say you miss me. A little bit of man ego is nice, just a LITTLE BIT of everything. I don't like you overdoing things ok. Please.

3. Responsible. Especially to his own family. And to himself. Like he knows what are the priorities in life. And he knows how to handle problems when it comes right in his face. He is able to walk me in religious matters. But he is still a chill and funny person at the same timeee. =)

Can I add more? Smells nice, FUNNY, not trying too hard to look good or cool and A WHOLE LOT MOREEE if I want to keep talking about this. Heh.

DAY SEVEN.

2011-01-31T23:27:00.001-08:00

Day Seven: Four turn offs.

So I guess it's asking for the four turn offs a guy can possibly do that, errr, turn me off? Well, this is easy.

1. Heavy grammar errors while conversing with me.

2. Bad hygiene (like really gross stuff, like really bad breath, not washing yourself after you did your business and yada yada)

3. Jerks. OBVIOUSLY.

4. Brag about himself way toooo much. Blurgh.

EASY to the measyyy.

Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful.

2011-01-31T15:23:00.000-08:00

My name is Keri, I'm so very
Fly oh my it's a little bit scary
Boys wanna marry looking at my derri-
erre, you can stare but if you touch it I'ma bury

Pretty as a picture
Sweeter than a swisher
Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha
I don't gotta talk about it baby you can see it
But if you want I'll be happy to repeat it

Pretty as a picture
Sweeter than a swisher
Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha
I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty
And if you know it too then ladies sing it with me

All eyes on me when I walk in,
No question that this girl's a 10
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful
My walk, my talk the way I drip
It's not my fault so please don't trip
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful

Girls out there,
Be Confident!

Again?

2011-01-30T23:07:00.000-08:00

I be playin Xbox with some scientists, workin' with geologist
maybe ask a girl out and get lucky with little kiss.
Or not because I have to...formulate a program
in C++ or going back and using Fortran.
Toss a few equations in just for the heck of it.
Solve my own problem just so I can delineate
Yeah, I be comin' on a whole new level.
Like comparing HDMI to a coax cable.
Sometimes I give directions with Euclidean vectors
And transfer files faster on eSATA connectors.
...I know we all have a simular dream
to build cantilever beams,...it makes me wanna sing
I wanna be an engineer so freakin' bad, optimize the things I've always had
I wanna be on the cover of PC Magazine, Smiling next to Pentium machines.

HAHAHAHA Is it weird that I encounter a lot of engineering jokes lately and worst, I found them kinda funny! Oemgeedoublehkaypee, I AM A GEEK?

DAY SIX.

2011-01-30T19:49:00.000-08:00

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)

1.Mum+Dad

2. My sisters + brothers

There are tons of people that mean a lot to me. I don't know if my answers are valid, or not. But yeahhhhh. You get the idea.

DAY FIVE.

2011-01-29T14:08:00.000-08:00

Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.

Hmm, I don't really like to talk about regrets. When I did something I regret, I cried everytime I talk about it, or I'd feel very bad about myself, and I'd lose all hope and I don't like that. So I really don't know how to do this one.

1. Something private. Something I used to do. Urgh, this is so hard. Not liking thissss.

2. Spent that much money.

3. Yelled at my mum, and made her cry. And Dad too. :(

4. Again, something I don't wanna tell here. Sorry.

5. Befriend with certain people.

6. Pop my pimples, now I'm left with scars. Annoying. And gross haha.

DAY FOUR.

2011-01-28T10:45:00.000-08:00

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1. Death.

2. Money, shopping mall and etc.

3. My future.

4. My family.

5. Youtube, Facebook!

6. Homeworkss and assignmentsss.

7. You.

DAY THREE.

2011-01-27T17:00:00.000-08:00

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

This is really interesting. You will encounter all my hopeless romantic imagination, so please bear with it eventhough it is gonna be so cheesyyyyy.

1. Be sensitive! Oh, this is the fundamental rule, notice my mood change and learn how to keep up with it. It's not hard, really cause I am the type of girls who is easy to amuse. Just do the little stuff that can cheer me up. Good food always do the work :) Or a little piece of ten dollar jewellery from Forever 21, that also can doooo. :)

2. Notice my changes and compliment it eventhough it's not that pretty, like for example, "Baby did you change your hair colour?" Awhh, no need for me to tell or explain or elaborate. But don't compliment me like I am the only girl, that would be too much and err, I don't know, just weird.

3. Put some effort. I really don't need the expensive stuff or whatever, but put some effort of finding out what I like and what I don't without have to ask too much. Tanya sikit sikit bolehla. Buy me stuff that I likeeee. I am not a gold digger, I don't need no LV or whatnot, though that might be a brilliant idea to win my heart. Yeah, I'm materialistic like that. So? Who doesn't like to be pampered.

4. Be nice, don't act like a jerk. Honestly, I think every girl doesn't fancy jerk. Just, don't be a jerk. Be nice. Simple.

5. Don't lieee. Even if you lie, lie properly and profesionally. Don't let me find out. Especially about stuff that girls would get pissed off so easily, like, well find out yourself.

6. Make me laugh, ahhh I can't tell how much I love laughing. I laugh and laugh all the time. Laughing cheers me up. Be funny, do silly jokes that are cute, not stupid jokes. Atotototo comelnya.

7. Do the little things, like wipe my tears when I cry, tell me it's gonna be okay cuz I'm a strong girl, be there just to listen, eventhough you don't know what to say, just be there and hold me. Put up with my shopping addiction, go shopping with me without making faces or whining, if I can put up to your Xbox addiction, and your football addiction, can't you put up with mine?

8. Acknowledge me, introduce me to your friends, show that you are proud of me, that you're not hiding me from anyone.

Well, I think honestly, out of all these, only number 1, 4, 6 and 8 are the rules to get to me. All the others are bonus. Proudly, I have found someone who ticks most of the boxes, but let the universe do the job, whether to make it temporary or permanent. I don't put high hopes in anything.

Engineers' lame jokes.

2011-01-26T19:44:00.000-08:00

Ho..ho...ho, so my university is always sending us emails about what's going on, what event is coming up and yada yadaa. So along with those emails, I found this, the Engineer nerd jokes. So lame but I found it pretty amusing, ha ha ha. If you're not taking engineering subjects, you might not understand those, but I'll try to explain them eventhough jokes are not funny anymore if you have to explain, but seriously, who caressss.

10 Good Reasons for You to Date and Marry an Engineer

1. The world does not revolve around us. We choose the coordinate system.

-I think most people would understand this. Not funnyyy, move on.

2. No "couple" could enjoy a better "moment."

-Geddit geddit? No? Ok. Couple and moment are terms used in engineering subjects, now geddit geddit?

3. We know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship.

-All we learn are how to calculate stress while opening the door, or how to calculate strain while pulling something something. Geddittttttttt? Please laugh. -__-'

4. We have significant figures.

-You might already understand this. If we do calculations, it will go up until 0.3455726789 so we gonna round that up to three significant figures, 0.34! Or issit 0.346? OMG.

5. EK 301: The motion of rigid bodies.

-Hahahahaha! Rigid bodies are like a system that does not move. But implying here, it's something else, durrrr

6. Projectile motion: Need we say more?

-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA, this one is funny. Projectile motion is something like this

Need I say more? HAHAHAH.

7. Engineers do it to specifications.

-Hell yeah.

8. According to Newton, if two bodies interact, the forces are equal and opposite.

-Nerd. Lameee.

9. We know it's not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force.

-HAHAHAHAHA, funnyyyy!

10. We know the right hand rule.

-Fuck yeah we doooo!

Hidup engineer!

2011-01-26T19:35:00.000-08:00

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

1. I hide my emotions pretty well.

2. I love make ups! And all other girly stuff!

3. I don't like being outside of my comfort zone, which is really a bad thing.

4. I like being in possession of something, make it money, person or whatever.

5. I am not a good singer, seriously. My voice, urm.... Yeah,you know what I mean.

6. I cry easily nowadays, I don't know why, maybe it's the hormones.

8. I am not good in keeping some promises. Sorry? :(

9. I am confident most of the times, but not all the time ok!

I have an essay to do but I haven't even finish reading the book yet. Lolololo yeyeyeye.

I am so sleepy right now.

Ho shit. It's time for me to go pick up my laundry.

Blurghhhh.

I am having my periodicalssss.

That explains my bad mood last night, and also all these creatures on my face!

I hate reading Plato, and honestly I don't understand a thing. I mean, on the surface yeahhhh I totally understand, but the deep meaning or whatever shitzz they want us to write about, I would go like 'Why can't just Socrates fuc*ing die?'

Okay that sounds so stupid. Trust me, I'm not stupid. Err, actually.

Hey ho no! I am definitely not stupid.

I am lazyyy but not stupid.

But not that lazy since I do my own laundry now honeyyy do you do your own laundry?

Okay you do. -__-'

I am bored, and I am feeling useless, I wasted this whole weekend doing nothing, just reading few pages of books.

I have been using Ginale more and more and it is good.

You know it works when one day you woke up and your girlfriend beside you said

"Hmm babeee, kenapa tak remove make up last nightttt"

To sleep with make up is so illegal but another thing, to accuse me not removing make up just because I look good right after I wake up is more illegal than anything else in the world!

HAHAHAHAHAHA harr.. har....harrr!

Hmmmmm N, thanks!

That actually happened to me. N said that to me one morning,

BIG GRIN!

Okay I'm gonna go pick my laundry upzzz. Bye guys.

First day of labour!

2011-01-19T14:32:00.000-08:00

My first day of class.

First, let me state clearly and precisely that the first day of class should be on the 10th of January, but for some of my OWN REASONSSSSS, I declare to the whole world that 19th of Jan is my first ever class for this Winter term. I'm taking all the electives and science subject, so I wouldn't be dealing a lot with numbers like the past terms. No engineering stuff, no force stuff, no bending moment, no yadaa yadaa.

First class was today at 1.00pm, so I woke up at 8am, went online, went back to sleep, woke up again at 930am, felt like twas too earlyyy babyzz, went to sleep again, and woke up at errr, 1040 am. Showered, yada yada.

Sat around while thinking should I go to this class? Blurgh, so lazy. Got up, put on my jacket, and sat around again, still thinking should I goooo?

And I went.

I got there kinda early, actually only 5 minutes early, but the class was still empty, there was only few people, I didn't know anyone cause this is not my usual thang kind of class. It was Philosophy for God's sake. Never ever in my life.

Burrrrr.

I sat there, and I saw everyone holding this green book. Oh, Plato's Dialogue something something book. I look like a tree standing out because I am the only who doesn't have that book.

N once said, people will tend to find someone who looks like them, or at least who looks like they have something in common with them to sit around with. And let's just say, she's right. Oprah proved this statement in her show too!

Not to brag, HAHAHA, butttt, suddenly there was a girl walking in, and I was looking at her from head to toe, hmm not bad. Clean and pretty hair, check. Nice smell of perfume, check. Hot winter jacket, check. Cute handbag, check. And she sits beside me.

I'm not done yet (see where is this going?)

Then, there was another girl, pretty curly hair, check. Blonde, check. High heels knee boots, check. LV handbag, check. Pretty rings on her fingers, check! She sits beside me as well.

Now I am surrounded with beautiful girls.

I feel, inferior, no, actually, errrr, thankful to Nada, who has been very honest for the statement above. Turns out, yes, people do choose to sit around someone they think they have something in common. *laughing hysterically alone*

VAINNNN!

Not the point though, my point is, as the lecturer arrived, he started giving out assignments.

Okay calm, still cool.

Question 1.

Do you think Plato is justly convicted?

Question 2.

.......something something.................................something something.................Apology text.......something something........Crito has something something.........bla bla bla.

Whatdehell?

It's been lonnngggg since I last did an essay!

Hello lecturer,I IS SCARED SHITZ!

Let's just hope I can sharpen back my essay skill, as if I ever have one!
