Giveaway winner!

To elaborate more on my extremely small giveaway; it was a way to thank the 118 people that followed me all these times. Thru all my up and downs, my silliness and all. Thank you!

I'm so sorry for the late post. I know my small giveaway ended on the 20th December but it's only now that I had time to sort through the enteries. (Not that there was alot, NYAHAHA) I apologies to the few anonymous comments (about 5 me thinks) that posted because of a filter than I've downloaded I am unable to read anonymous comments. Much much apologies if you sent your entries in and I was unable to read them.

To cut everything short, yes I'm still sick and yes there is a winner!!

The result was base on some random randomizer and the winner it picked was:

Yana!

Congrats Yana. Sorry I didn't post up some cool YouTube video like what Bunny did. I'm still YouTube illiterate to be truthful. Your prize is a 2000 pages long essay on Ashley's Greatness. Yes yes, be amazed and be make sure you read all of it. *kidding*

Anyway I'll contact you via email for your address.

And to all that joined, a BIGGIE thank you and yeshu, some answers were really sweet and funny!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Fast Post: Giveaway

I'll be away to Phuket, Thailand for about a week so there will be no updates. I'm as sick as sick can be with fever (37.7 - 84.4 Celcius) the past two days and sore throat and cough. Biggie love to JH for taking care of me. Unfortunately the trip cannot be delayed as I have to be there in Phuket for some conference.

I've been talking about having a small (please please note the small) giveaway since July and it's been postponed till now. I feel really guilty about it since JH chipped in a little for some of the gifts. So while I'm gone, for the 118 reader I have (not all is active) is eligible to participate in this little giveaway. Yay!

All you have to do to have a shot at my little goody bag is post below your name, email address ( ladylala[alias]hohoho[dot]com) and complete this short sentence.

If Ashley was a colour, what colour would she be and why? Haha, something to think about!

Don't worry about your post not showing up or anything, I'll come back do the approving. Posts that shows up then are are in the running. I'll be truthful and say that I only got literally a handful of readers so chances are pretty good.

I'll post up a picture of the giveaway later, for now. Just imagine an odd item here and there, an autograph picture of me and a 1000 pages essay telling you how GREAT I am. AHAHAHAHAH!!

Kidding, anyway, do keep in mind it's really just an odd bit here and there k. Nothing too fancy as it might reduce me to eating grass.

I'm serious! Been having salad at the cafeteria cause it's the most affordable thing to eat there. Not to mention the only thing edible there...

Entries closes on the 20th December midnight. So it's just about one week which should be alright since I don't have that much readers. :D

P.s: It's not an essay competition, the question is just to make your life miserable XD, doesn't count and the randomizer will in the end choose the winner.

Make up tutorial on How to look Fake; Eyebrow embroidery

Make up tutorial on How to look Fake :D

My usual office look; Slap on a ton of foundation

Firstly, you bow before my Fakeness Greatness!

After you're done with that, you slap on your foundation like the world is going to end and only people with flawless skin is going to be saved.

Then, you put on your brightest eyeshadow you can find, in case they need to find you and it's pitch black. They will locate you by your eyeshadow. (Dang, I should have used Yellow then, nvm)

Compliment the above colour by using Purple, Purple always looks nice with Blues. You don't want to be tooo bright least they get blinded before reaching you.

You should look like this. If you don't. You need more eyeshadow. Remember people, if they can't see you, they can't save you! Add blusher, MAC Don't be Shy. That's right, don't be shy with the blusher! Add more, more MORE!

Add falsies to fan fire...if needed. Torch lights are much preferred.

Apply lipstick. In my case, I used MAC Too Fab and apply lip gloss. Red would be overkill, we wouldn't want that now would we? :D

To complete my look, I put on my pale blond wig. This shall now be my everyday office look!

Yays, I feelz pretties!

Don't like my look? Here, lemme give you a nice big kisssss... To be truthful, I can't my eyes off my fake mole. It's.. so.. BIG! Dang, should have drawn it smaller :P

I posted the picture on the right because I found it hilarious! Have you ever seen a RECTANGULAR mole?!?! I can't stop laughing! Dang, my shaky hands.

That's all folks, how to look amazingly fake to go with your fabulous fake attitude :D

p.s: This FOTD is not meant to offend anyone. It's just to poke fun at myself

Eyebrow Embroidery - DONE

I have no intentions to post up more pic on my eyebrows but since Bunny asked for a full face, I had no choice but to comply. Bunny is one of my favourite bloggers out there and a great friend and I guess it's be educational for those interested so you know what the hell you're going in for.

When I saw the request, it was also the last day (Day 8) and the peeling has already started. All I needed to do was to wipe the dried up part off. I was in a rush to go JH's house for the night and it was one of those 'god damned awful days' when you look like a freaking mess.

One week of endless teasing, being told I look like shit (Yes someone told me that) just got me really tired and other problems at work. But anyway, horrible is horrible. It was either this picture or not picture. So Bunny, here you go

I actually thought I look hobo-ish. AHAHAHAA! Not insulting anyone.

It was harder to remove than I remembered so picture two was taken the next day. And yes, me no have flawless even toned skin. It was all a lie!!! Not that I've ever mentioned I have even skin tone :P

All done, finally! One whole agonizing week. The thing is that the eyebrow colour came off looking funny in the pictures no matter what. It looked grey-ish or something as if I've accidentally cover my eyebrow with foundation.

In real life, the eyebrows are fantastic. Everyone loves it and I've gotten tons of compliments. I'm loving it. The colour gradation from light to dark and the 3D effect.

The difference between normal embroidery and 3D effect is that you can see the strokes of 'hair' in the 3D. It's supposedly to look more natural.

If you're interested, just give Beauty Concept a call at 04-8999688.
Normal embroidery is RM350
3D is RM400

No, I'm not getting paid to do this, I wish but Felicia has been doing my eyebrows for the past 11 years and I love her to death because her skills are really good.

ROTD: I'ma Barbie girl, in a Barbie world, life in plastic, it's fantastic!

Sorry, it's been a while and unfortunately this post ain't about roses and rainbows. Just needed to get something off my chest.

Been down sick with viral infection - AGAIN! And didn't take any MC and went on working since there was too many work to do. My brain has been exhausted and I've on a short memory status. Been forgetting things like an old lady.

There's a lady (late thirties) who's quite well respected in my workplace that bothers me a little. Nothing all too serious but it seems that she often make subtle hints to me and everyone how she doesn't approve of me or the way I look or behave. I don't expect to go anywhere and win a bloody popularity contest here. All I want to do is get along with everyone, get our job done and go home.

The first few months of working in my new job; she started hinting to me how I should not act fake and how she and her husband (she married early) are comfortable with each other and how not fake they are.

Problem is, I am who I am. Like I said, I'm not here to win a popularity contest, there's no reason for me or anyone for that matter (in my opinion) to act fake. This is me. I talk in a girlish voice, I grin and tell stupid jokes, I nod my head respectfully and smile even when I'm scolded etc.

Elisa did mention that people who doesn't know me will cleverly 'assume' that I act fake. People who's with me for a while, knows that that is just me. Thinking that time will prove her wrong eventually, I let this comment slip.

How long can a fake person keep up in a relationship? I'm curious. If I were that horribly fake and manage to keep it up for 13 months and see my bf everyday, I deserve an Oscar!!

The face. In this case, MY face. People take one look at me and also assumes that they know me their entire lifetime and how they don't need to even talk to me to know me. They assume that I do not know any hardship, is unable to handle anything important, can't work, can't hold a job for 6 months, a flower pot. Will wilt under sun, will never eat in hawker centres and only eats expensive food stuff and all, can't hold secrets, gossipy. It's incredible how long the list goes.

I admit I'm not perfect. I'm far from it. I have a list of faults probably that long too but it's none of the above. I had live by myself in a strange place with no fan, no lights, no furniture eating nothing by instant noodles for dinner every night for 2 months. I have been thru shit and more, I can hold a job for 6 months and more. I like umbrellas because I have pigmentation problem, I dislike gossip, I'm a fantastic secret holder. I eat anywhere and almost anything.

But anyway, as of late, she's hinting to me how she disapproves of the way I look. In her words, she's okay with girls dressing sexy but doesn't approve of things like colouring the hair. How she like au natural. Good for her. Also if my hair was under a scarf, I wouldn't bother to do anything to it too.

I don't wear sexy but I consistently colour my hair, recently hair my eyebrows embroidered, wear make up (mascara and occasionally falsies) and in other words - Look fake.

She never says anything like that to my other colleague that colours their hair in light browns and stuffs. Weird..

Ta daaaa, move over Barbie! I'm here to stay!

Now all I need is double eyelids, a boob job, some lip fillers, blond hair, blue contacts and I'm all set. I don't know about you guys, but I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of 550cc for my boobies...

Now to get my Ken, my pink convertible, my pink palace and the RM10k needed for my boob job...

Sponsors anyone?

Bunny, Oh Generous Bunny!

A post for Bun-chan aka Bunny. A while back I won Bunny's first ever giveaway. Trilled and excited soon turned to disappointment. After the first month, there was still no sign of it. Cursed the postal services/ mail man and reported to Bunny that the parcel has yet to arrive. In a panic both of us took the parcel as - MIA. Bunny being Bunny offered to get me some items from Japan instead.

There are lots of time when people complained about things going missing from parcels or missing parcels. That's one reason I never trusted our own postal services. The shipping price just went up and yet the service is still as bad. I never understood why all the people at the post office and immigration office where we get our passports all look and act constipated.

But in the end, The parcel took nearly 1 1/2 months to arrive. It arrived! It's here! You hear that Bunny?! It came! After a round the world trip, it finally reached me!

The gifts were great and much loved. My eyes bulged from all the items. Like whoaa, that's hell of alot of items. I know it was shameless but I wore the beautiful ring, shoved in under JH's nose and said loudly, 'Look, someone actually bought me a ring..'

Teddy bear earrings + Rose ring

Lip balms!!! Lip smackers in two of my all time favourite flavours! Bunny, you make me wanna run around in circles. :D

<333333

I love the teddy bear earrings! I proudly wore it to work today, they're so cute, I don't even know where to begin with all the items. I loved every single one of them but the best was the letter and drawing. LOL!

I noted that you mentioned hand cream in your letter but when I opened the package, there was no handcream found. I wonder if the Customs officers thought that the hand cream was used for making bombs and promptly confiscated it away.. *sniff sniff*

Eye brow re-embroidered; new hobby, notd

I have friends who have too much free time..

I admit that I've been extremely lazy to blog lately. My head is filled with a million and one things. Last Saturday, I went to have my eye brow re-embroidered. It's been two years and after seeing how my eyebrows refuses to show up in pictures, I decided to fork out the money and just do it. Don't get me wrong, I love light eyebrows but not that light.

* If you don't know what eyebrow embroidery is; It's somewhat similar to tattoo but it's temporary and the needle does not go in that deep. The super dark, wide brows will only last for a week before it peels off and reveals a much softer and smaller eyebrow underneath. It's good for people like me who's born with little/ patchy eyebrows.

It's not snot, I swear! It's the numbing cream >.>
After 3 days, snot cream runs out and it's time to switch to a clear cream

Since Felicia, my beautician upgraded her anesthetic cream, this round of "poking" didn't hurt at all. Whee! The hurt came later instead. Back then, I wasn't working and one week passed by fast and without much incident. This time, I was working and I scared lots of people shitless in my workplace. They all stared.

The thing about Malaysian is that we hardly bother to ask. If we don't understand something, we keep quiet and try to find out ourselves. In this case, they saw, they laughed, they thought I had a galactic battle with my eyebrow pencil - and lost. End of story. *sigh* I don't blame them since if we asked, we might be thought of as nosy.

I never did mind being called nosy. I don't butt into personal things but I've always been curious and I live by the motto, 'If you don't know - ASK!' I insist on holding a mirror when doing my facials and wants to be told what's going on and all. Same thing when I got to the dentist and so forth XD

So anyway, everywhere I went, people talked to my eyebrows. Yup, you read right. They talked to my eyebrows. They didn't look at me or my eyes but instead at my eyebrows which was quite funny. Some girls gets guys talking to their chest/boobies. I get them talking to my eyebrows.

Of course, there was comments such as, 'Whoaa..' from complete strangers while passing by or the stupid (don't mind me) aunty where we usually have our lunch which told her worker to "look for the lady with the thick thick make up" Thick thick here is our usual way of emphasizing something. It's like the word, 'very'. It hurts cause I was only using sunblock and a light powder. *sobs loudly*

After the 4th day, I decided to put on my devil-may-care attitude. I walked about to hotels, shopping malls with my gruesome eyebrows. Hah! Enjoy it, you won't be seeing it for the next 2 years. After one week, the dark brown will all peel off and underneath is the 'real' colour.

Anyway I realized with natural falsies, it makes the eyebrows less conspicuous, it might just be me though.

Staying at home, I've taken up a hobby. After much calculations, I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford Christmas presents for friends this year so the next best thing was to make some stuffs as gifts.

The first few tries ended with JH telling me, 'I suggest you don't give them to your friends..' They were awful alright. I found some cookie cutter and suddenly everything became much easier. The air-clay I used was too fragile to be rolled into roses or any fancy shapes. They were tough to work with. In the end, some of the things I made was a combi of both clay and air-clay. Air clays were great "creams" and toppings such as strawberry or cherries. Roses and hearts are better off made with clay.

Made plenty of spare parts and after using JH's expensive GamesWorkshop paint, I finally bought some acrylic paint of my own. In primary colours only. I'll mix whatever I need myself to cut cost. Paint bought at Nanyang, Carnavon Street.

Last week's NOTD

• Random Purple Glitters

Kiss Me heavy rotation enamal gloss; 15 colour concealer palette, Aaron&Becky's wedding

The past week has been hell. I can't wait till everything's over. I really need a break. Thank God I still have plenty of leave left. I need it. All of it!

Been getting shit flung at me left and right. *sniff* and I dyed my hair the wrong colour! STBM of the highest degree. I wanted violet, I got red. The more washes, the lighter it gets. Am I panicking? You bet your pretty ass I am.

I need eyebrows!!

Well another week, another wedding. Last week of October was Boonifer's,one week later, Aaron & Becky's. I've empty out my coffers and MAC's Tartan Collection launched. Was waiting for this collection for some time. Something from MAC to look forward to. In the end, I didn't even dared to walk pass the counters. They probably sold out everything I want by now anyway. Or atleast I'm hoping. I was a little sad though since I had really wanted some of the items.

Was stuck in the toilet when the bride threw the bouquet. Guess who caught it? None other than Pinky Doodle Doo!!!
Pinky has a goofy grin here but she looked really nice that nigh :D

My make up for the night, plain I know :D
God dang it, I need eyebrows a.s.a.p

Lookit to my eyes, send meeee your atm carddd, along with your piiiin numberrrr~

Sorry about the half crazed EOTD, was a little tipsy and wanted to show you my new contact lenses. Its those daily disposables and cost me a bomb. It was like RM10 per pair. *cough* Bought them a month of so ago but it still hurts. I wasn't sure if normal contact will still fit my eyes so I bought these. They are super duper comfy with high water content. Problem is they are a little hard to put on cause they are really soft.

Anyway, I seriously need to start looking for part time job or something. I've been thinking about getting a part time job lately but I can't figure out for the life of me, what kind. To answer frankly, I don't know what my talents are. I usually just tell people I have none. XD

Talking about not buying MAC Tartan Collection, I did buy some make up lately though. A few weeks ago, I got to help my manager to do some make up for a photoshoot for a colleague. One of them was an Indian lady.

Since we're no professionals (my manager recently got her make up cert but its for fun) we didn't have the correct foundation shades so we used whatever we have. It bothered me alot when I saw the colour of her foundation and powder. She was using the same colour as my mom or something. Imagine using 10 shades to fair. I started looking around for darker foundations after that just in case something like that ever came up again - highly unlike but still...

The foundations were all just too expensive for me to even buy a few shades, a few weeks later I saw the 15 colour concealer palette. I knew I could use the concealer as a foundation by mixing it with more moisturiser, that would solve my problem!

Problem was that the palette was selling for RM60+, too expensive. Did more searching, found another for RM50, then Rm40. How odd, they all sell the same damn thing for different prices. but one lucky search on ebay, I found one for USD0.99cents!! But shipping was USD5.90 but even then, it was alright! Wheeeeeee! Now to find some guinea pigs!

The texture is okay, creamy but a little sheer for me. Of course, I am comparing it to my HG MUFE camouflage concealer. It's one concealer that covers all imperfections and I have alot of that, nyahahaha. Would say sheer to medium coverage - build able.

JH got mad when he knew I bought this. I can't blame him but it was the last one and it was absolutely gorgeous - on me :D

Watsons RM39.90. Kiss me Heavy Rotation enamel gloss in Whity Pink 02. Ahh me new love love. I've been searching high and low for the perfect nude shade for me and I finally found it!
*does the rabbit dance*

I read about some bloggers complaining about it and that it didn't turn out anything like the picture. I kinda understood why they say that though; You need a pretty thick layer to get the "same" effect. It doesn't feel heavy and it's been said to be a similar texture to the OCC lip tars. So far, me loving it :D

Happy Halloween and Congrats Boonifer!

Halloween, my favourite time of the year. Candies, candies and more candies plus a chance to dress fancy!

GameForge decided to have a Halloween party cum first year anniversary a few days earlier and there was a costume contest as well, best dressed male and female walks away with RM50. Sure, it might not sound alot but to a poor person like me, it was enough to make my eyes sparkle. (In case you're wondering why I'm consistently broke; I'm still paying my iLasik surgery and my tickets to Hong Kong and I got 3 wedding dinners in October, November and December)

On the day itself and just a few hours to the party, I still haven't decided on what to wear. Out of idea, started whinning to JH and we started going thru any ideas at all. A marionette? (Didn't have any cute fluffy dresses) A nurse? (Wanted to borrow Elisa's costume but she was working) A ganguro? (Uhh.. in public with my face looking like that? No way, Jose) A witch? (Boring, no idea where my damned hat went) A maid? (Last year's costume)

If there's one thing I dislike about Penang is that there isn't any costume shops that we can rent outfits from or even a costume shop. ARGH! It's either you get creative or go Toys R Us and get those fluffy sparkly cutsey wings . Hell, if those fluffy sparkly cutsey wings that comes with a size 2 shoes and tiara can fit me, I'll buy it! Unfortunately for me, my feet is a good size 6 and the wings are for kids. I'll look like a hippopotamus with sparkly butterfly wings.

Out of ideas, I put on my last year's maid's costume, hoping to put a fresh twist to it, maybe a blond wig or something and black leggings. Yes, I'm not the most creative person around. Was a little depressed since I really wanted the money. Oops, did my greediness shined through..

Just for a laugh, I put on my 'cowboy' hat and JH commented how it actually fit the costume, so that was it, I became a weird gothic cowgirl or something.. *sigh*

Hmm, would a gun fit me better? or an axe? Now, to look for a victim [insert suspense background music]

These shots are all candid so obviously I'll look a little goofy in some. Wish I had a little warning in some but luckily no shots of me scratching my ass or digging my nose :D

Not that I was doing those..

JH decided to ignore me and played Warhammer 40k instead. Me on the other hand, spilled beer on model terrains, tried chopping up the models and finally decided to go pull off my lower eyelashes cause they were damned annoying.

End of party, round up friends to threaten GameGorge's GM into giving me the money. And he really hands them over. Yay! I.R.RM50 richer!

To be truthful, I only won cause I was the only idiot who dress up. Seriously. Last year there was a bunch of people dressing up and all but this year, the clubhouse guys were all busy getting drunk at a bachelor party that hardly anyone came. Sad.

I really felt like a big fat idiot. My original costume was actually underneath my shirt but since no one bothered, I didn't even remove my shirt.

Oh well, I'm a slightly richer idiot atleast. Hee heee!

Since the original idea was gothic Cowgirl whatever, I ended up doing the 'Tim Burton inspired look'. Smear whatever on lids, apply black, black, black. Line eyes, apply falsies and la dee da, we're done! I'm getting pretty good at this XD

Luckily I remembered to put on my contacts before we left. It's almost a month and I've only wore it once. Gotta make my money's worth.

Remember all the ends that we trim off from our eyelashes so it'll fit the length of our eyes? Well, I kept all the little extras and who could have though, they'll come in handy. I'm not rich enough to buy the DollyWink lower eyelashes that cost a bomb, so I'll just have to make do with whatever I have at hand.

The prize money went to my share of Boonifer's wedding dinner :P
