Hand writing tag; Prizes from Yana's giveaway

Uh, hands quicker than brains and thus the blunder on Q2

A while back, Yana tagged me for a Hand Writing tag. Was planning to tag Bunny but she was quicker than me and she ended up tagging me instead. Thank you guys! I actually like the idea of looking at people's handwriting. It might sound weird but it does tell you a little bit more about them :P

Rules: Get a piece of paper and write the answers to the following questions:
1. What's your name/your blogger name?
2. What's your blog's name/URL?
3. Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
4. Favorite quote?
5. Your Favorite song?
6. Your favorite band/singers?
7. Anything else you want to say?
8. Tag three to five other people.

I don't have the best handwriting. I frequently, I can't stress enough on the word frequently, my test papers, essay books etc will come back with the sentence, 'Please write bigger' on it. To me, smaller hand writing = less paper wasted, less ink wasted.

Also, if you write really small, your mom can't read your diary unless she finds her glasses first. AHAHA! Kidding, my mom don't read my diary and my last diary dates back to 1996.

I could have probably guessed Bunny's handwriting if I was given a bunch to sort out. It's as cute as herself with lots of super cute emoticons, hearts and a certain Bunny flair. And it's neat too!! Me likey. Ganbatte ne on your uni life!

I work with doctors due to the nature of my work and trust me, I go to a corner, take a couple of minute to decipher what they wrote, scratch head, ask nurse, nurse scratch head, and together we brain storm.

So I was surprise to see Yana's neat handwriting. You go Yana! Keep at it! The nurses and all will love you since they actually understand what you wrote! No one will go home with the wrong medicine too! Aww, then again, I adore you anyway whether I can read your handwriting or not. *hugs*

I received Yana's prizes from her last giveway today. Woo-hoo! Came home to find a parcel waiting for me on my bed. The Natio's face mask is one of her favourite and I love clay masks.

In the parcel was also a pair of earrings she bought from Hong Kong. Can someone please knock me on the head? Why and how I manage to miss out buying accessories in HK is beyond me. Seriously. Then again, probably all the itching and scratching occupied most of my mind.

The earring was beautiful! Very elegant. I definitely see myself wearing it to dinners. It's a pity a petal broke though, but I'm gonna super glue it together again.

Ooo, the chocolates! Daim is one of my all time favourite chocolates. I love the sticky hard caramel inside the chocolate and trust me, we once had this in the office and I remember eating most of it. Too addictive or maybe I'm just greedy.

Thank you Yana! I know you've been thru a lot lately and I hope you'll feel better soon. You have all our support and love. Take care and take a break when you can.

P.s: I want beautiful doctors walking about in our hospital too. No fair!

Oh and I didn't do Q8. Almost everyone I know has already been tagged. I.R.Sadz. So whoever who's not done this yet, please do, then let me know and I'll go be a busybody at your blog.

Gifts from amazing people online: Tahira aka TJ

When I started my blog back in 2008, never in a million years did I thought that I'll meet so many amazing people online.

They've showered me with love, support, gifts and so many kind words.

I still remember the first time I saw Elyn from SERENDIPITY. My best friend Elisa introduced us and our friendship remains till today. She's unpredictable, unbelievably wise, funny and has a BIG HUGE heart. She read my blog on my bad breakout and before I know it, lug all her barang-barang (things), crossed the Penang Bridge to come all the way to my house to give me a facial. She ended up giving my mom and Pinky Doodle Doo a facial too.

It was also about the same time I met Tahira. Tahira from A Look in a Creative Mind.
She wasn't kidding on the creative part, that's for sure. Over time, Tahira's art became even more amazing. Her drawing never fails to impress me and the ideas that she has. But its her colouring skills that blows me away. I'm left gasping as I take in all the colours she uses for her drawings. They are alive!

Sorry TJ

I'm a HUGE fan of hers. Both of her work and her as a person. She sincerely cares for people and the list goes on and on. In a nutshell, she's someone I truly care for despite never meeting her in real life. Someday when she's famous and all, I'll be so proud to tell people I know her.

Back in late February, just when I've hit a real low point in life (To those who have my FB might have a clue) A mail came for me from Holland.

It took me by surprise and made me cry. It's been a while since I communicated with her and here she is, drawing me a lovely card filled with love and ... ME!

TJ,

I know I'm a lousy friend as I didn't reply you when you became worried if the mail went missing but thank you for being patient with me. I'm still sorting out my mess and I admit that you card gives me a sense of calmness and inspiration. I still stare at the colours used in the background and it's just so beautiful. TJ, my gorgeous TJ, you are one heck of an artist. I love you very much!

P.s: Your card attracts alot of attention. Everyone who comes into my room automatically goes for it and start whining about wanting a friend like you. LMAO!

MAC Studio Fix; Froggy NOTD

I didn't realize how long I have not updated. Too many things been going on in real life. Arguments, break up, regrets and such. Thankfully everything's finally stable again and I don't feel like jumping off Penang Bridge anytime soon.

Because my pay is so low, I'm consistently on a make up ban, it is really starting to get to me. There is so many things I would like to do; treating loved ones out for dinner, giving my parents more money every month, buying things that I like without breaking a sweat and all but that is just not possible with my current pay. It's depressing.

I work in a not-for-profit organization and thus my pay is what it is but when I broke down crying because I didn't have enough to eat middle of the month (my own fault tho, I went a little koo-koo and bought a few dresses after not buying for so long) I felt like I really needed to switch jobs a.s.a.p. I have an offer but fingers crossed.

To cheer me up, JH bought me the MAC Studio Fix that I have been eying since middle of last year. Whee! I am so so happy! Thank you dear!

The Reflects Pearl is super pretty in real life! So sparkly

Chris (Elyn's friend and the person I always buy from) even gave me a nice bag and some samples. The cleansing oil and two glitter from the Wonder Woman collection. I was over the moon!

I wanted the Studio Fix because I needed the coverage. I don't have flawless skin and lately I'm starting to break out again. I suspect it's because I was using my MUFE Camouflage concealer and ZA powder for a week. My skin isn't use to make up anymore after using BB cream for so long so I had to switch back to BB cream.

The powder is a nice touch after my BB cream and makes everything nice and matte.

JH even bought me the Canmake lower eyelash that I was looking at. Personally I wouldn't have gotten it despite how much I wanted it because it was just too pricy for me. Luckily there was a 15% off :D

Sparkly~

NOTD:

I ordered some 'blings' online a while ago and decided to play around with some. I did this on my ring finger and left the rest plain tho.

A couple of days ago, I saw a comment from Emvely who did a super cute Frog inspired nail art. Frog Nail for you? (Click on link to see the original version) That nail art inspired me so much that I wanted to give it a try.

I wanted a variety of other 'animals' on my nails besides the frog; A bunny, cat, hello kitty etc.
It turned out...messy. And horrible. And embarrassing. I asked JH if they looked like animals and he replied, ' They look like demons'.

I wasn't too sure if I ought to strangle him or what but after taking a picture of it, I cleaned everything off except the rabbit.

The second time around, at least the cat looks like a cat and not a "demon". It was less messier since I used JH's acrylic paints. I'm a convert. Never again will I use nail polish to do any nail arts. It's a total pain in the *toot*

Still not perfect but it was fun! Whee!
