Birthday

Okay it passed a few days ago actually, I'm officially almost and very close to being a quarter of a century old, woo-hoo! NOT!

The day was pretty relax in the office. Yes, it was the one day where I had the excuse to be lazy and I just had to make use of it. *ahem*

Anyway Ian came down from KL to accompany me for the weekend, later the evening, all of us went to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant dad recommended. The food was okay but hey, lookie lookie, I got a birthday cake! An odd one but nevertheless a birthday cakie!

Why am I so excited to get a birthday cake? I didn't get one last year so I'm happy to get one this year. Last year was a pretty bad year for our family and lots of shit happened, so all I got was an egg tart. Laugh if you must. It wasn't because I misbehaved or anything, it was just a bad year.

Don't count the candles, don't count the candles, NOOOOO!!

So anyway, mom made me guess what flavour of cake they got me I remembered my eyes widening happily as I guess chocolate, chocolate being my very first love but ah anyway I got it wrong. So I opened my birthday box and ta daa, my first reaction "Huh? There's uhh, mini carrots on my cake."

Mom and Dad got sick of all the green tea and chocolate cake we got them for their birthday and wanted something different. And thus, I ended up with ... you guessed it, carrot cheese cake.

Oh, and this is my very first time doing a EOTD (Eye Of The Day) so forgive me if I messed up. I'm really not an expert but swear it looked better in person that on picture. So bear with me.

If there is one occupation that I won't succeed in, it would be photography

See, see, seeeeeeee, I have no double eyelids, I have no crease! To ask me to find my crease is as easy as asking me to find gold on the beach up in Bt. Ferringhi. Do you understand now why make up artist cringe and run away from me?!

Yes, I stole this from Elisa's blog, nyah ha ha!

Not to mention, I have very little eye lashes. *Ahem* very little. One hair here, another there and two hair in the middle and that pretty much makes up my entire eyelash. But I like my eyes so oh well, gotta bear with it.

Colours used :

M.A.C pigments in Vanilla (outer corner and highlight)
NYX ultra pearl mania in green (middle eyelid)
Mineral mate in ancient gold (so-called crease and towards the outter V)

I'm not sure why I even bought Mineral Mate in ancient gold, saw it online and since I had to buy a certain amount of colours, I chosed this since I don't have any colour like this before. Didn't turn out too bad. Nothing something I can use on it's own but it appears quite pretty in the end. I didn't put alot since it's my first time using it and I wasn't too sure how the colour will end up.

Try it, the colours came out great, I have no doubt anyone else will be able to pull this off better than I did!
