Yay for short hair! NOTDs!

Favourite quote of the day (saw this badge pinned on my Pinky Doodle Doo's bag):

Short People
Last to get rained on,
First to drown

It's been a long time since I even posted. I still have lots of reviews and looks to post up. I've been a little tired working seven hours for four straight Saturday.

Make up has been minimal and simple due to sheer laziness. Skin has been dehydrated as I ran out of moisturiser for a while now.

On a happy side, I finally got rid of all the curls. After 6 months of looking like some middle age house wife, I made the appointment and I'm back to my usual bob cut.

Not the most flattering picture but maybe that's cause I'm not very flattering looking in real life anyway :P

Been having fun with my nails at least.

Lets start with the one I failed

I imagined Hello Kitty and apples etc. Of course, it looked better in my mind. Lasted 10 minutes.

Bought a new nail colour that I contemplated for a good 6 months. It's from Essence and cost me less than RM7. Despite that it took me 6 trips to Watson and 6 months to finally purchase it.

Did a simple French Manicure with a little black bow on the side.

Got inspired by some watercolor nail art on YouTube and decided to try it out too. It was fun but some hated it cause it looked messy. I personally liked it but wished that I got a thinner brush to draw the branches with.

My most recent, I previously did a pink version of this and decided to try it out in different colour. It has started chipping *sigh*

I used the Games Workshop acrylic paint in Chaos Black.

Game Forge is having a massive sale on the paints!
RM13.50 down to RM9.00!

I manage to grab an extra 5 colours to play around with. Whee! The address to Game Forge is on the side of my links.

In case you're wondering what is that weird markings on my hand, it's just some henna/ inai design. The wife of my colleague open a booth last Saturday at Penang Times Square and decided to get it done for fun.

It's a little weird for me to have some design on my hand and I'm not use to seeing it there.

Bunny's suggestion: Lady Gaga; My Poodle hair

As usual, every once a while when common sense leaves me for a holiday, I do the stupidest things. This time, I permed my hair. I have permed my hair a couple of years ago and hated it, so what on earth made me think I'll like it this time? I have absolutely no idea.

Maybe I imagine that the hair will turn out looking something out of the latest Popteen magazine, instead it somewhat came off the dog grooming brochure. All said and done, I'll have to live with it till it straightens again. In about 3 months or so if I'm lucky.

Ohh how I cried...
Btw, I forgot to gel this, it's usually curlier

I guarantee you that my next hair style will be short, straight and black.

I needed ideas and suggestions for an EOTD and you gave them, Thank you Lisa, Bunny and Rola (just click on their names for the link) for the great ideas! Instead of picking one, I decided to try out all three as they were all interesting. Something I would not have picked or thought of myself.

So coming up soon will be:

• A Leah Dizon look
• A bridal look of Bella from Twilight Breaking Dawn

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... How about the lady gaga look? That will be really really interesting!! the one with the eyeliner under neaththe eye oneeee~!!! lol am i making sense??" ♥Bunny♥

Picture from good old Google

Bunny, I hope I picked the right picture cause I ended up google-ing Lady Gaga eyeliner under eyes and got this. LMAO

Lazy Ash hardly takes off her leftover make up for an EOTD. Left over of the day from office. Sir Terrible Memory was hogging my laptop so I wasn't able to take a good long look at Lady Gaga. Yeshu, I blame you, Sir TM!

Dug thru my make up box and whipped out a long forgotten liquid eyeliner from Elianto that was due to go for a long vacation via dustbin. Bottom liner took me nearly 7 tries before I was somewhat satisfied. One good or is it bad thing about the liquid eyeliner that I could easily rub it off with a wet wipe and do it all over again when I did a mistake.

Once I started looking like a slightly more prettier version of Ronald McDonald, I covered my eyebrows with concealer and add my foundation. I did a mistake of grabbing my 'usually saved for ghostly pale' foundation and slapped it on. I came off looking a little too pale for this look.

Add false eyelashes and draw a mole the size of Texas. It never meant to be Texas, my hand slipped *excuses excuses* and add on red lippies. Added Bourjois chocolate bronzer on cheeks, highlighted, clean up messy eyeliner and call it a day.

To be truthful, I wanted to add some gold and silver sparkling eyeliner for the lines. No way on earth am I gonna stick those rhinestones on one by one. It'll take me all year!

Lo and behold, my gold eyeliner has long caked up, clumped up and died. It went to the places where all eye liners go when they die - Dustbin.

Thus it put an end to my attempts.

So Bunny, here you go, a subtle Lady Gaga + Ronald McD look that you wanted but didn't turn out the way you envisioned.

Poodle hairstyle; NOTD Music sheets; Elyn's gifts

Ahh, what is there to write? Except that I have a hair style that only Poodles would love. Like seriously. No, I'm not in the mood to post up pictures of my hair right now. Perhaps later. I wept sorrowfully on my bed upon returning from the hair dresser.

There was a serious miscommunication between me and my hair dresser with each of us having a different picture in our head. And to think, I endured and kept my hair to shoulder length to get this hair and now all I want to do is dunk my head in a tub till it straightens.

The words, 'I trust you' is now haunting me.

Work started since last Tuesday. I don't want to complain so I'll skip that part or 500 pages won't be enough for me. Elyn's package arrived! What a surprise. Came home from work and there it was, a HUGE parcel with my name written on it with a note to make me burst out laughing.

In it, there was a bag of sweets, filled with green tea sweets and delicious with sticky, chewy plum fillings. Elyn, you shame me. I sent you 2 sweets and you sent me a bag full T.T I was so ashamed!

There was also crackers, sweets, cookie shaped picks and a bottle of L'Occitane Fleur de Cerisier body lotion. Why must you send me such expensive gifts? Didn't I say I'll pay for the lotion? Stop being difficult and give meeeee your account numberrrr~

P.s: I've been trying for days to upload the pictures to no avail. Something wrong somewhere. Had to use photobucket o.O

NOTD - Music sheets

Well, I guess if there's one way to cheat during a music exam. If you're suppose to memorize the notes, just stamp them on your nails :P

But normally, they'll just make you play and tone deaf people like me won't go far even with the notes stamped on my nails.

Liese Hair dye in Cassis Berry; NOTW: Cuppie cake nails

On the way to dinner in Bt. Ferringhi

Ooo, the merciless sun! Its too hot to do any FOTD/EOTD lately. Even putting on everyday make up has become a challenge since my foundation and concealer melts off before I finish my entire face. I've taken to putting on my foundation last to no avail.

Out of sheer boredom, I dyed my hair today. Had Elisa pick out a colour for me and she mentioned something about me needing some colour so she picked Liese's Cassis Berry. I must admit that I was a little apprehensive about the colour choice but she has better taste than me and I absolutely trust her.

The before pictures
Pic one: normal florescent lighting
Pic two: Natural sunlight

My roots isn't too bad yet but the weather was hot and I had nothing to do. The instruction on YouTube seems easy enough.

So what do I think of it?

PROS
Very simple to use and I don't need my mom's help to dye my hair.
The colour turned out very vibrant.

CONS
The smell of ammonia was super strong! While colouring the side of my head, the smell was enough to sting my eyes. Since I'm such a smart pants, I did it in my room while the curtains down and closed door. I gagged!

With my head full of foam, I managed to smear it on my waster paper basket, curtains, wooden divider and sink top. I R GENIUS!

ARGH! I've been shot!
Ooo, If I have left it, I would have had cool looking Elvis Presley-like sideburns!

The weather was so hot that while waiting for my hair to take in the colour, the foam became runny and ran down my chin. If I had a beard, it would be red too.

Most of the other reviewers mention that they had smoother softer hair after the dying it but I didn't feel that way. It's sightly coarser than usual. Then again, I do have super soft and straight hair to begin with.

The after pictures
Pic one: normal florescent lighting
Pic two: Natural sunlight

Uhh, just in case you think I'm boasting, note that super soft = super limp. My hair has absolutely zero volume. My hairdressers ask me if I straighten my hair which I do not and it upsets me. If I wanted super straight hair (which I don't) the next day, all I do is I wash it, comb it and go sleep. I rather have wavy, volume hair. Hell, I don't care if I have Dolly Parton like hair! *sniff sniff*

Pictures taken near the window

NOTD

Saw this on YouTube and just had to try it. Wish I didn't. The frosting on the "cupcakes" looked a little retarded since JH's white acrylic paint has dried up and became lumpy. I made it even worst when I paint big fat cherries on them and hated it! Covered everything up with white and from lumpy became clumpy.

Never in my life have I had 5 different coloured nails so I found this refreshing. Wish I had a lighter yellow or mint colour nail colour tho. It would have looked better. *sigh* But will make do :D

Big eyes EOTD

Was feeling bored when I suddenly felt like dressing up, wearing my long forgotten stuffed-in-a-corner wig. When I was doing Mass Comm in my college, I acted in a few films done by my senior and loved it. I enjoyed acting because it was a chance to play and be some one different.

You can be a princess, a delusional pyscho or whatever. I didn't like our filming schedule though. We filmed at about one in the morning in the school and it was freaking creepy. There was hardly any lights and was pitch black in some areas. The school is a very old school. Worst, it was a ghost movie. Sure I like to watch ghost movies but acting in one was err.. a little weird since I'm a little superstitious. I initially rejected the role but my senior kept saying, he made the role just for me. Nice to know that he had a fetish to see me murdered T.T *lmao*

Yea, my character got murdered in the end.. *sniff* I'm so loved - NOT! But anyway the film won them some prize in Kuala Lumpur. Forgotten which, I only knew about it way later.

Enough boring facts about me.

Mission of the day : Make eyes bigger!

Q: How big do you want them?
A: Like.. 3 times it's original size

Q: You mad?!
A: Hey, they manage to do it?

Q: WHO?!
A:

Picture taken from Sankaku website

Q: Good luck
A: Thanks!

I will be extremely truth and admit something tho. If I were a guy and the girl I am dating turned out looking like a totally different person minus make up (like the girl above) I will DUMP her. I will...run to the hills screaming on top of my lungs.

I mean, if I knew how she looked like initially and dated her minus make up and all, that's fine but I don't wanna date a girl that looks like a super hot chick turn very plain jane. No offense to anyone.

So we begin, apply eyeliner, apply it thick, then some brown eyeshadow for shading, I actually applied lots of brown but my camera doesn't capture browns nicely. It always turns out blah! Be sure to drag it way out, draw under the eyes a little, blend some blacks into the eyeliner to soften and apply falsies.

I must admit that I did a bad job at this, the black should have been way more or something and dragged out even more. Mine is just very...subtle in my opinion. The eye make up turned out a little blah looking but it didn't look all too bad in real life. Stupid camera. Stupid brown. Stupid lighting. Stupid me for not knowing how to use photoshop.

The reason why I keep taking one sided pictures is because the other side of my face had the glasses 'mark' on the nose area. Was wearing my glasses after lunchtime to rest my eyes and it left a wonderful mark on me nose which not even make up could cover.

I need ICI paint.

I like the picture on the left a lot. It reminds me of how guys sees girls when drunk. Everything's blurred and looks fantastic. Ahhh.. love love~

Oh lookie, I pinned it up with a cute bow! Something that will be in my giveaway later on!
not the one I've used, worry not

Wig + fringe = a little annoying so I pinned it up, Oh la laa~ it looked much better in real life, a look I don't mind going out in public in. I'll just kill whoever who dares to touch my hair (in this case, my fake hair) I wasn't wearing a hair net so no pins or anything, a hop, a twirl and my so called hair will be rolling on the floor.

Original hair and the dress I bought a gazillion and one years ago but never wore. I got it even before I met JH. Kinda forgotten about it. Damn, should have wore it for my birthday.

Mission Failed : Try again later.
Eyes are barely 1 1/2 times bigger than original.

GAH!
