Oh le le, Oh la la, 6 months; Cherry 'failed' NOTD

*For those who are lazy to read and has diabetes, feel free to skip the first part :D

My half year anniversary with JH came and went. We didn't have the opportunity to do anything fancy since our special day was smacked right in a super busy week for us, my mom's bday dinner on Friday followed by his mom's bday dinner on Saturday, came Sunday, we were still full from all the dinners.

Initially I was disappointed since I was so looking forward to it but in the end, it didn't bother me much. We spent the weekend together and had a good time in our families' company which to me was the best afterall. I am happy. And fat. But happy nevertheless.

For our special day, I bought him Magic: The Gathering Rise of the Eldrazi Fat Pack and a folder to put his rare cards. What a nerdy present but since it's a request from him, how can I say no. I initially bought him a card weeks ago but couldn't figure out what to write...

Our best shot was a blurry shot T.T; Yes puke people puke, NYAHAHAHAHA!
You won't be the first, we also give people in GameForge diabetes anyway

So I decided that since he read my blog (despite me telling him not to, that nosy fool!) here goes, maybe this might embarrass him enough to stop reading it.

Dear Jiun,

Aren't you glad we reached our half year together?

It's wonderful being with you and you really make me happy. To think that just six months ago, you held my hand and never let go despite me being in trouble, how I've cried and lost sleep over it but you stood firmly with me and gallantly went to all my battles with me.

Yes we had our ups and downs but I thank you for everything. For driving me around to shopping malls on weekends, listening to my rants and silliness but mostly for your love, your support, hugs and kisses.

Love you
xoxo

Ps.: Don't you dare correct my grammar, bad english and all for this post! *shakes fist*

Me and Pinky Doodle Doo, *ahem* It's Pinky Doodle Doo and NOT Pinky Poodle Poo..

Damn, I need to change her name

'To have tried and fail is better than to have never tried'

That sentence pretty much sums up all my make up looks, EOTDs and NOTDs. These Cherries failed. It's worst than the strawberries one. God, my nails looks awful. Oh wait, why am I posting this? Right, to remind myself - NEVER AGAIN!

Ganguro Ash V2

Readers beware, you have been warned, the pictures coming up is not for the faint of heart. If my original version of Ganguro disturbed you, you might want to skip this post. Before you start thinking that I'm in love with myself or my own looks, note that I am the type who prefer to stay in the background. There are more things to learn by simply leaning back and observing people. It's often said, "Actions can betray a lie" and I've always been fascinated by people's personality.

The reason for all these looks is not to garner a fan base or become famous or infamous in my case but simply because I'm curious. I'm curious to know how I look like as a blond, or tanned or with this colour eye make up and so forth.

I'm the type to insist on having a hand mirror everytime I go for a facial or a dentist just so I can see what the hell is going on.

Onwards mates,

A normal me with normal make up + short blond wig; with long wig

I will never bleach my hair blond is all I can tell you, having to look like baked lobster - permanently is no fun. Both in real life and in pictures. But still, blond hair is still so pretty.. *sigh*

A combi or Red Earth's Secret Potion + Stila foundation ( too oily) and my el cheapo China brand foundation mixed together and Operation: Ganguro Ash v2 starto.

I had a bit of eyeliner left from earlier the day; Finished!

First, start painting your face like no tomorrow. Paint it with much gusto , using your muscles from your hand and torso. Whatever. After I finished painting, I powder my face with the Elianto powder I bought a million and one years ago for my previous ganguro look.

Since I failed so miserably, I'm not even gonna bother posting up the step by step by step by step pictures. Anyway remember to have a good laugh. Cover entire eyelids with NYX Milk and to make it really white, apply Silky Girl's Yin or any white eyeshadow over entire lid, I topped it off with NYX pearl powder in white for the shimmer look in the inner corners, not that you can see any shit anyway.

By now, remember to lock your doors, you don't want your parents to call the zoo for an escaped panda and get shot by a tranquilizer on the ass. Shot. Ass = No fun.

Using black eyeliner, line your entire eyes;

Round round baby round round, spend the night on me~

- SugarBabes

Top it off with black eyeshadow so that you don't smudge the black eyeliner round round your eyes and ruin the entire look. Next pick some glasses cleaning falsies you have lying around and stick that on. Make sure they are the type of falsies that when you bat your eyelashes furiously, papers start flying. And if you bat them hard enough, even your boyfriend might disappear.

I bought some God Damned awful eye falsies from the night market a few months ago and didn't know what to do with them. Light bulb flashed and I cut them in half and stuck them under my eyes.

Colour lips white and realize that white lips don't look good on anyone, mix it with NYX Narcissus for a pale pale pink lips. I'm too poor to by MAC Lady Gaga lipstick so I will have to mix my own. *sniff* I hate being poor.

Not having a good skin week. *glares at a certain someone* And if you are wondering why all my pictures are only showing one side of my face, I'll be honest and tell you that I grew two enormous very red and very painful pimples on the other cheek. There I said it. I'm so stupidly honest.

Doo doo dooo.. I remember that people don't like to read and only like to see pictures so here goes.

These are the type of lashes you need! Now stick them on and start flapping, err... I mean batting.

Why I will never tan myself, the above picture says it all.

Ps.: EHHHH!! I don't look anything Ganguro, I ended looking like an over baked lobster!!!! Fail, Fail, FAILED!

Me? A blond?

I finally coloured my faded brown hair to my previous favourite. I couldn't stand seeing the black roots anymore and how awful it made me look on photos. I looked so - unkempt and tired. One thing I can't stand, looking unkempt, I still cringe remembering how I looked like in 2008. The hair! OMG the hair and the make up. It haunts me to this day.

I'm so loving the hair colour again. Gonna stock up on it while it's still on offer. So anyway besides hair dying, what other way to have nice looking hair for photo shoots?

Easy, but a wig.

Then again, I've been looking for a blond wig for about a gazillion and one years. Finally a couple of weeks ago, I found a seller selling hers.

Oh la la, a long and a short? Took me a couple of days to decide if I should get it, another couple of days on whether to get the long or short, a couple of days to decide if I really needed it (the answer is of course - no) by that time, the seller has lowered her price ... AHAHA! Lucky!

JH said it won't fit me. Of course it won't! I'm Asian, we're already yellow and can do without the yellow hair and seriously, how many of us can really successfully pull off as a blond without looking like an "Ah Lian" ?

Then again, I do know a couple of people who look good as a blond, the Singaporean blogger, XiaXue is one. Even Elisa said blond won't be able to fit me but I ought to get it just for fun. Well fun here cost me a hole in the pocket that is until JH offered to buy it for me [insert: Awwwwwwww..]

It came!!!!

Waited for about three days and finally it reached my doorsteps. Woo hoo, rushed to my room to tear open the box to reveal two bunch of pale blond wigs.

Two weird looking bunch of...something; One strand of black hair to ruin the entire shot. I need to learn photoshop damnnit!

Of course, me being me, lazy and all, I didn't bother wearing the hair net. With a blond wig, we really need a hair net cause my black hair was poking out from everywhere. The weather was hot and I was literally sweating and melting. I re-touched up my melting make up, put on falsies and took a few test shots.

Uhhh..; When in doubt, wear a hat

It's so bloody hard to look good with a blond wig! Oooo, how I absolutely envy natural blonds. The blond wig makes me look like a baked lobster! After a few twirl and whirl, I grew bored and started looking for a hat. I love love hats. Put on the hat and hated whatever I was wearing, so got the scarf to cover it.

The short and the long

Apologies for the blurry long wig shot, had a better shot but it was showing too much of my black hair and by this time, it was too freaking hot to wear the wig any longer.

I suddenly wanna do a ganguro look again, oh noes! >.<

ROTD: Yea I'm fat - So what?

Friends of mine has been teasing me about the size of my thighs in FB and I'm usually fine with that. Yes yes I have fat thigh, I have thigh that can kick you to the dark side of the moon when you piss me off. I have an ass that can give you cardiac arrest by sitting on you. Yes yes, way to go Captain Obvious. I usually have a good laugh too when people talk about it but some comments can really hurt to the bone, 'chop the legs' and stuffs leaves me going,' Huh? errrr...oh wait, you're talking about yourself right since you're like what, 3 times my size Meng?"

If you're wondering how my body looks like and stuff, think this, I have a slim top with Beyonce like bottom. LMAO. I have a slightly broader shoulder from my early days of swimming and it "somewhat" balances my wider pelvis. In simpler terms, you might call me, "anorexic" just looking at my upper body, you might call me "plump" just looking at my bottom.

Thankfully, my colleague at the next table is my work pillar of support who reminded me that all that matters is that JH loves me, and I am thankful he does. Does it matter a lot if a girl has a 36-37" ass and fat thighs? I'm pretty sure I'll get less comments if I had like a buldging beer belly at 25 years old.

I am 164cm and weight 53kg. My body fat is concentrated on my boobs, ass and thighs as I have a 23 1/2" waist.

I can laugh at myself because I am not delusional about my bodyshape nor am I the type to hide things and deny that I am flawed. I don't prance around in rose coloured glasses and think I am perfect and is God's gift to men nor am I so totally out of shape that a roadkill looks better than me.

I do not take one look at someone and make snide comments about their apearance, "Oh look at her calves it's so weird" or "LOL, that person is as shapely as a banana, nyahahhahahaa" etc. I do not take a look at someone with a better body shape than me and try to find some kind of flaw and then make fun of them. I love everyone regardless of shape and size, colour and height. I wish everyone would too.

Oh wait, haven't I talked about this before?

Package from Eki Love!

Here I was sitting and staring at my computer blankly before giving a sigh and decided to call it a day. Another day of absolute SSDD (same shit, different day) Nothing new happening, nothing interesting to write. Damn. Not to mention, Pinky Doodle Doo has taken my camera to Singapore. Sheesh.

Oh baby you came!

JH came by later and told me he receive a package address to him from America and went, '...but it wasn't my magic cards' *sad puppy eyes*

Turns out that my order from Eki Love.com finally came. Fast too! It's been just a week over me thinks. While I squeal happily as JH passed me my package, I found out that JH has already opened it.

Uhh...

'I thought it was my magic cards!'

'Right... which part of candy and charm did you not see?'. I asked pointing at the green declaration form stuck on the side.

'I didn't see it but I was wondering why it was so...girly'

I had to laugh. It'll be interesting to see someone sending magic cards in pretty plastic bag with candies, an eye mask and wrapped in pink polka dotted ribbon.

I believe him knowing how eagerly he was waiting for his magic cards and seeing his name is indeed stated on the package happily open the package. Natural reaction I guess. Reason why the package was sent to his address instead of mine was because I don't own a paypal account.

It came with goodies!!

I ordered the necklace seeing that I had a bit spare this month and also because I wanted something special for my and JH's 6th month anniversary later this month. I had my fingers crossed hoping that it'll come before my special date and hell, it came wayyy before that. Wheeee!

Then again, looks like there won't be any fancy dinner for the both of us. Mom's celebrating her belated b'day at the E&O followed by Jiun's mom's early b'day dinner the next day. JH suggested celebrating ours the next following day but three big dinners in a row? No thanks. I don't wanna be Miss Roly-Poly-just-roll-me-down-the-Hill.

Oh oh, just before I forget to show you which necklace I got, here ya go. I chose a simple necklace minus anything too fancy smeancy. Well, I like it anyway. I noted that JH likes sparkly stuffs seeing his praises for the pretty stone. He wasn't liking the big ribbon there since it distracts people from the pretty stone, but the ribbon was a reason I bought the necklace. It's delicate, feminine and hey, comes with a pretty stone. How could I have resisted?

Thanks Eki, mucho love to you!

Ps.: If the pictures seems different from usual, it's because it's JH's camera. Thankies love!

EOTD: Blues + Yellow/Orange

It's been a long long while since I did any EOTD. Work usually tires me out and I've gotten much to lazy to do anything. But seeing how everyone else is having fun with their eyeshadows makes me miss mine. Seeing how Bunny looks flawless everyday makes me a little envious. LOL.

So brought out my palette and had some fun. What colour combo got me thinking the longest. In the end, I just decided to go with whatever.

As I'm typing all this, I wonder if I'm even able to replica this look again *smacks head* Dang me, added a little too many colours from my 88 colour palette. Then again, I doubt I have the guts to wear this look out, don't need no stares from random strangers wondering which disco I just crawled out from.

Lookie me tired red eyes. And lookie, I'm back to my blue contacts. I notice that my GEO lenses don't last very long and after a while irritates my eyes. 10 over years of wearing contacts and I dare say, GEO lenses are the most uncomfortable. Then again, I have not tried a whole bunch of them, and I suspect I got the fake GEO lenses despite the seller's reassurance. HMPH! People now adays can't be trusted for any shitz.

So anyway my blue pair is from Caring and it's super comfy, I sometimes forget I'm even wearing anything. The only sad part is that, I have no idea where to get them in Penang, I used to get mine in KL for RM85. Penang is selling for atleast RM90-RM120. *sniff*

Blind and broke is never the best combo. Then again, broke with anything is never a good combo.

I really can't think of any fancy name for the above EOTD but I can think of one for the yellow/orange one below...

Sunset Tequila EOTD *puffs chest*

Cause:
1) It's the colour of sunset
2) I probably need to be drunk to wear this in public

HAaa.. I remember doing the pink/green EOTD a while ago and thought to myself that I wanted to try colours I would usually avoid like a plague. Yellow/ Orange was one of them but there I did it! By the way, if you're wondering what's the pinkish thing near my eyes, know that I smudged and didn't notice till I saw the pictures. AHAA.

I really have no idea how some people can pull off yellow/orange so well. I look... yellow. (D'oh)
Yellow + me = Errrr....

Wanted a little green in the bottom but then again, I've been using alot of green on the bottom so oh well, I just left it at that, subtle and not too obvious this time. Anyway the eyelashes are glued on with Daiso eyelash glue which as you may/may not know dries in 2 seconds and holds for as long as a minute.

Good for EOTDs where you need your falsies on for a few minutes and doesn't require make up remover to remove the falsies. I would give Daiso's eyelash glue a wonderful one star out of five for holding power. And I'm being generous here.

Since this is just an experiment, I just tested out two different colours on my eyes, worry not, I won't go out in public looking like this. I'm still sane.. for now.

Strawberry Fields turned Strawberry Fungi NOTD

I had the vision of supple, fat, juicy strawberries on my nails this week and what turned out was tiny, pathetic, strawberries overload that made my nails look like it caught measles.

2 or the maximum of 3 strawberries on each nail would have been fantastic, but due to my own stupidity where 'more is always better' I ended up with the strawberries that is available in Malaysia. Small, sad, and sour.

It looks better half done rather than done. Eech!

Now I'm just too creeped out to even look at my own nails but I keep them on because I want my other colleages to have a laugh at it before removing it. The more i look at them the more it also reminds me of some Japanese Anime where they have fanservices of girls flashing their strawberry panties. NOOOOOOOOO!!!

On happier note, after months and months of saving my miserable pay as a trainee, I decided to splurge it on something special. It's going to be my 6th month anniversary with JH this month end and I decided to get something nice for myself. A necklace, not just any necklace but a EKI LOVE collection necklace. Fingers cross that it arrives safely. Thankfully, I already know what to get JH, he's so easy to please :D

During one of those Watson's sale, I managed to grab the much reviewed Maybelline Magma. It comes on a yellow tube very similiar to the Collosal. I remember seeing it when I was in the airport in Singapore but I didn't read any reviews on it yet - then. Seeing so many reviews comparing the Magma and Collosal with Magma getting better reviews I decided to try it out. There are reviews of it being a total *toot* to wash off though, it came as no surprise since Maybelline mascaras since the Turbo boost (except Collosal) has been a major *toot* to wash off. As in a super major *toot*. I remember one of my earlier HG mascara was the Turbo boost and how I loath removing it since I can never seem to get everything off. It always ends up under my eyes and I have the raccoon look on. Oh and it smudges like *toot* too.

But we shall see how this one goes. My bet is on the Collosal but it's biased since I have not tried the Magma yet. Then again, I hate opening new mascaras when my old one is not yet finished. Hate the idea of bacteria and air getting in. By the way, I got it for RM25.

A long long time ago, I fell in love with a Clinique lipstick in Sweet Honey. It was pale peachy beige that really flatters my skin colour, unfortunately, it got discontinued a few years later when Clinique decided to revamp. Gone were their green little casing replaced with solid looking silver tubes which 'silver' coating comes off after a month of two leaving you with ugly looking peeled silver casing and a tube full of lipstick. I went in search of my HG but lo and behold, my Sweet Honey was replaced with a darker shade of pink described as 'Classic Rose' on their website.

After years and years and years (roughly about 8 years plus to be exact) I finally found a similiar shade of lipstick that I fell in love with years ago in MAC Shy Girl. My already colourless lips looks god damned awful in nude lipstick and to make matter worst, I love nude lipsticks. Even lipsticks with a slight hint of pale pink doesn't suit me. Instead, I get random people asking me if I was feeling ill. Since I need a slight hint of colour, peach looks best on me besides pinkish red lipstick.

Left to right: Without gloss; With Etude House lip plumping lip gloss

MAC Shy Girl is described as creamy neutral coral beige (Cremesheen) but to me, it can be a little on the frosty side that I hate but when pair with a lipgloss, the frostiness is not that easily seen and it looks really nice. Finally, my quest ended. Thanks JH.
