Yes, I'm officially in my 'late' twenties now. No longer 'early' or 'mid'. It's strange knowing that after this, the years are gonna roll by and before I know it I would have hit 30. I've always wondered where I'll be and what I will be doing when I turn 30. Now, it's just a couple of years away and I'm still no where.
Thank you Pinky Doodle Doo!!
A day before my birthday was the Clubhouse's annual Drunk Fest: Tequila Night. Was not planning to drink but spent the night and morning hugging toilet bowls, wash basins, plastic bags and waste paper basket. What a way to start.
Me and Tequila are not friends. Never were, never will be. Period
Later the evening, I treated my family to our favourite japanese restaurant: Isaribi Tei.
My promise to myself this year was to look pretty for my birthday unlike my previous birthday which had me looking all tired and haggard. I dressed up, looked nice, smell nice, etc and ... argued with the boss of the restaurant /facepalm
Isaribi Tei is as well known for the affordable and nice japanese cuisine as it is for the extremely rude boss. We never had a problem till that night. It left me a little pissed and I guess me and JH's weekly meal there instead will be a monthly thing instead.
JH gave me a choice between a bag, a laptop or a watch. I picked a watch.
Liquid Eyeliner
I guess you know when to retire your liquid eyeliner when the consistency of the eyeliner becomes diluted and uneven. Behold.
When I first got this, I loved it to bits. It started off so promising - dark and beautiful. Read here. And now, it gone and died-ed on me. *sniff sniff*
Luckily about 4 months ago, I purchased the Dolly Wink black eyeliner from Sasa. There was raves about how good and fantastic they were so out of curiosity I got them. I'm happy to say I have no regrets at all. I do wonder if it'll turn gray and diluted on me later tho.
No problem washing this off since I use oil cleansers.
The liner is easy to use and can be used to draw both thick and think lines without problems. The only thing that I would like to point out is that it strangely smudges on me despite me using UDPP as base. I don't expect anyone else to have this problem since it's more of a mono lid problem. *shrugs*
In life, I hardly, close to never experience creasing problem but I smudge all the *toot toot toot bleeeep* time.

I really liked how the gray pigment (eyeshadow) in this look. Believe it or not, I gotten the pigment roughly 3-4 years ago and this is the first time it worked. This time, I used UDPP as eye base. So what was I using before this?
Minus the falsies
The lady who sold me the pigments was really popular seller in a forum I frequent and besides pigments, she also sells eye base which she claimed made the pigments waterproof. I happily purchased the eye base. To cut things really short. We later found out the eye base was actually Vaseline from Watsons. One reason why my pigments didn't stay on my lids, colours came out horrible, muddy and it does the David Copperfield ie: Disappears. I shelf the pigments till now.

Dug up an old lip gloss of mine and slather it on

For my birthday I painted the usual OPI Off with her Red and once it started chipping, I used black to do a sort of frenchie.
Then I came across Tiffany-Kim's blog and saw this:
Fell in love with it and was so eager to try it. I have a strange love for floral patterns. Bags, clothes, rose scented perfumes etc. I'm quite sure I probably remind some of you of your grandma T.T *sniffs*
FML!
Angry Birds
My first ever angry bird. Made it for Jobie's belated birthday but Pinky Doodle Doo nabbed it. Sorry for the blurry pics, it's not easy taking a snap shot of something on your thumb.
Hate hate hate working with white. Just about anything can stain the white. ARGH!

Yuck, the red at the base looks awful after a week

Nope, didn't turn out so well. Re-did this as the stripes I made looked awful! My light green has dried up and I ended using the Maybeline Lickety Split for the leaves.
Of course, knowing my luck, I accidentally knocked over the bottle and it fell on my favourite pajamas, giving me a suspicious looking GREEN period-like stain.

I was checking the feedjit on my blog and I saw a bunch of people coming to my blog from yours and I was wondering why. Then I saw my picture on your blog! I'm really happy that you liked my design ^^
Your nails look so pretty! I think I like it better than mine ;A;
omg the clay figurine is so pretty!!! can u do a tutorial on this?
Happy birthday!! I'm even closer to 30, and with each passing year I'm trying to make myself look forward to turning 30 so it's not such a shock when the day comes x
The earrings are gorgeous! You're really beautiful! I really love your makeup! The lip gloss is such a pretty colour.
I found your blog from reading melludee's. I know how you feel about being almost 30 I felt the same way when I was 28 or so... now I'm 39 and OMG what do I do now???? ;) It's all good though... it's not as bad as you might think now. 30's is a good decade so don't worry you have plenty of good life coming your way... you don't get old IMHO until you are at least 102. About being no where I can relate to that too but actually you just have to look around to what you do have and be happy... because it's better than most people. I really don't know you but from quickly reading parts of your blog it seems you have a lot going for you... Nice boyfriend, good looks, travel, family, etc. There are a lot of people around the world who would love to have just half of what you have so cheer up! Have some fun and keep your head up! Good luck!
Oh Happy birthday in late! :/
Your nail art is so cool *__*. I really want to try Dolly Wink products

Hey there, thank you for leaving a comment. I could comment in your blog so I had no choice but to post it here.
To be truthful, I never thought that age matters to a guy. I hate to admit it but guys are a little like wine. They get better with age. Women tend to panic about hitting 30, 35 whatever because we do have a "time bomb" in us. Males can be a father at what 70 years old? while for us women, anything over 35 is considered dangerous! XD.
LOL! At 102!
Well, thank you once again for the comment and yea, I'll try to keep my head up and worry less :D
Happy Belated Birthday!
You know what? I'm not gonna fall for your "i'm almost 30" lie! Muahahahahahahaha!! *hands on hips, laughing at a distance*
