Make Up For Ever Professionals@One Utama

Trying to go someplace new,Shu and I ended up in Mid Valley Megamall.There was this huge recreation of Wonderland in the concourse area.It was super awesome but the amount of homsapiens in the damn mall was super annoying so we left in less than an hour.Parking was hell but I just couldn't be in such places at that time.

What we did was we headed over to One Utama (again) We were there earlier in the day with my grandma coz she needed some help with groceries so I drove her there with Shu.

Anywho,we had to go back to that mall anyways coz we were supposed to go to the aquarium shop at the lower ground level.Shu is so getting his aquarium from there ;) I wasn't supposed to but I did anyways,went ahead to the Make Up For Ever Professionals booth.I was supposed to just ask about a product but as usual,I ended up buying it coz I really lurve the coverage it gives me ^_^ AND........it is cheaper than Bobbi Brown's.

I heard and read and saw videos of reviews regarding this product.They were all telling the truth.This thing is AWESOME!

We went to the fish spa.The lady in charge of the place already knows us.We are there ever so often.I always (for some strange reason) have an open wound on either one of my feet everytime we go there.Luckily,I had the fish under control today.

blueness vs greeness

I have problems with water activated eye shadows.I do.I just really suck at applying them and making them work.So what I did the other day was to try them on anyways.With and without water.I must say that it is easier to keep the colors in control when they are dry.

Hurmm...........

I have serious issues regarding certain areas of life these days.I need cash and I need to do something to pass time each and everyday (especially when Shu is at work!) BUT<---a very huge but......,I just love having time to myself these days.I don't mind working but I love the flexibility of teaching part time.I love the free time too.

I really should (and I shall) do something serious-er regarding work but for now,I have shitloads on my mind!I still haven't picked up on sewing (how the hell am I supposed to realize my designs?!) I am still working on make up.I suck with brushes.Getting better at it I hope ;)

"I need time to think........"

ok ok.....here's a proper review......

"I'm just going to say this and then I'm going to shut up"

There are 2 possible ways to looking at the movie.

1)From a Disney fan's point of view

2)From a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fan point of view

*Spoilers ahead!Don't bother reading if you're not interested or have not watched the movie!*

Burton's works had always been known for it's "darkness" so if you were expecting a happy,colorful,typical Disney cartoon-ness in this film,I'd say you got the wrong movie.So take a hike!

I agree that the actors spoke a little too fast. (I watched it 3 times to really get some of the lines)<---not the real reason I went to watch the movie again and again and again.The script was fine.Hilarious.Disturbing.I just wonder if the puns were intended considering that there are kids in the cinema.

*Imagine you're kid asking you after watching the movie "Mum,what's sexual harassment?"

But I am sure that kids these days know more than they are supposed to ;) It's probably not a big deal anyways........

In one of the interviews,Depp mentioned that "Hatter was very overprotective over Alice like a big brother" Wow!Really?I couldn't have guessed!if I didn't know any better,I'd say he liked Alice.A whole lot!Like when a friend likes a friend.....of the opposite sex.........

Oh well,it probably doesn't matter anyways.It's probably just a line when he said "why is it that you are either too tall or too small?" or when he looked overly excited when he saw Alice again and said "You're Alice and you're you and you're just your size!You're Alice size........" or something along those lines......

Anywho,I do think that the Cheshire cat sounds a wee bit naughty.Then again,he's supposed to.He's uber cute!

If you were expecting the Disney cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland.This is NOT it.Keep those 2 versions apart and you'll have your sanity ;)

um.......

......from Umbridge.......

The only time Shu and I could ever hang out during the weekdays would be in the mornings only coz he starts work at 4:30pm.Well,days which are not Tuesdays would be funner in a way coz I'd usually leave for work around 1pm-ish.Need to have time for the journey to work in case of traffic jams......also,I have the tendency to get lost :p

Which I did actually.Well,it wasn't as bad as the first time I drove to work.I always manage to get to my workplace but I'd get lost on my way home.There was a huge lorry that jumped the red light at the junction where I was supposed to turn and at that moment,I really thought I wasn't supposed to turn right at that junction :/

Anywho,I missed my exit on my home yesterday so I ended up on a busier road.I wasn't like lost or whatever.I just missed an exit.

Shu and I went to watch Alice in Wonderland (in 3D!) again this morning ^_^ That would be my 3rd time watching that movie in the last days.I've always known that I have this insane attraction towards Tim Burton movies but watching it in 3D sure makes it a whole lot muchilicious!

Also,I hate weekend and school holiday crowd (and kids!)

by Danny Elfman

Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?

So near, so far or in between?

What have you heard what have you seen?

Alice, Alice, please, Alice!

Oh, tell us are you big or small

To try this one or try them all

It's such a long, long way to fall

Alice, Alice, oh, Alice

How can you know this way not that?

You choose the door you choose the path

Perhaps you should be coming back

Another day, another day

And nothing is quite what is seems

You're dreaming are you dreaming, oh, Alice?

(Oh, how will you find your way? Oh, how will you find your way?)

(There's not time for tears today. There's no time for tears today.)

So many doors , how did you choose

So much to gain so much to lose

So many things got in your way

No time today, no time today

Be careful not to lose your head

Just think of what the doormouse said,Alice!

Did someone pull you by the hand?

How many miles to Wonderland?

Please tell us so we'll understand

Alice!Alice!Oh, Alice

(Oh how will you find your way?Oh, how will you find your way?)

a much rejuvenated muchness

Went to watch Alice in Wonderland......in 3D.......again........Hah!Actually I just wanted to take my littlest brother,Azim,to watch the movie coz he wanted to come with me the other day but the tix were fully booked at the time.So took him out today ;)

Anyways,I am super excited over the new vanity table Shu and I put together today.Well,we got it last week but we didn't have time to assemble the whole thing.This morning,we took the time to do it.It's so NICE!!!!!!!I finally have a proper mirror!

Oh!AND.......my folks decided to get me a cupboard.A proper one.It's BIG!And off-white-ish and me likes its!At least I have a proper place to my clothes into.

D'oh!

P.S.: I got really pissed off by GSC coz they have 13 freakin' cinemas and the 1 with the busted 3D whatever had to be the one showing Alice in Wonderland!WHY THE HELL were they STILL SHOWING the stupid Transformers movie anyways?That movie is so 20 years ago!ANCIENT!

Tokio Hotel feat Kerli (Almost Alice)

A Freak of nature

Stuck in reality.

I don't fit the picture

I'm not what you want me to be.

Sorry

Under the radar,

Out of the system,

Caught in the spotlight,

That's my existance.

You want me to change,

But all I feel is strange!

Strange, in your perfect world.

So-o-o strange, strange!!

I feel so absurd in this life.

Don't come closer.

In my arms,

Forever you'll be

Strange!

Strange!

You want to fix me,

Push me,

Into your fantasy.

You try to give me,

sell me,

A new personality.

You try to lift me,

I don't get better,

What's making you happy,

Is making me sadder.

In your golden cage,

All I feel is strange!

Strange, in your perfect world.

So-o-o strange, strange!

I feel so absurd in this life.

Don't come closer.

In my arms,

Forever you'll be

Strange!

Strange!

Like me.

Strange!

When you touch me.

Strange!

When you kill me.

Strange!

All I feel is,

Strange!

In my dreams together,

We'll be...

Strange, strange

In a perfect world...

Strange!

I am so strange!

Strange!

I am so strange!

Strange, strange

In your perfect world.

So-o-o strange, strange!

I feel so absurd in this life.

Don't come closer.

You'll die slowly,

In my arms.

Forever you'll be

Strange!

Strange!

Like me.

living with boys

Growing up,I thought it was hard enough to be a girl in a patriarchal world.It's not just about having to do housework only because your culture is such but you also have to be able to do the things guys have to do like heavy lifting or use hardware tools to repair things and stuff.Of course,personally,I prefer doing all those over washing dishes anytime.

But come on,I have to know an awful lot of things and they don't know shit about simple things like flushing the toilet after use?That's just bad!Not to forget that my brother used my hair conditioner to make the washroom smell better after he flushed the damn bowl!

Today,my other brother used my facial wash to wash himself during shower!And the only reason I found it out from him was because I was talking to him about zapping zits!It's no wonder I found my facial wash outside of the cabinet in the washroom where it usually would be!Not to mention the sudden decrease of amount of liquid left in it!I could have sworn it was way more than that last I checked.

back from Underland

Tim Burton has yet again got me hooked to his latest piece of work.And of course,Danny Elfman as the composer,I could not ask for more.........oooh!But wait!Johnny Depp and Alan Rickman (voice only) are in the movie too!And Helena Bonham-Carter!

Haha!

I lurve Alice's dresses!Especially after she fell down the rabbit hole!They are so very preeeeeeeeeteeeeeeee!!!!!!I am lurving Depp's Mad Hatter make up (not the hair!)

I thought the Fudderwhacking moves were fuh-ney.It got me laughing a whole lot!

So why is a raven like a writing desk again?

in case you haven't noticed.......

We are in the 21st century.If and unless you change the way you preach,no one will listen to you.Hell,I won't listen to you.Maybe it's because your language of choice does not suit me.It's a major turn off factor,really.It's like I have to reconstruct each and every sentence......word you say to English before I can fully understand what you're trying to say.

Or........

Maybe it's just your approach.I personally wouldn't bother listening to what you have to say coz it makes absolutely no sense to me and it's kinda hard for me to relate to what ever it is you're saying.Of course,I don't know about other people but despite it being a sensitive issue,I don't really like listening to religious talks especially when it comes from people with the whole "holier than thou" tone.

So please,do us all a favor and shut the hell up.If and unless you change your style or what ever,I think you really should just not bother ;)

It's either you love God too much or you 'think' He'd love you more than others when you do this sorta shit.

like everybody else.......

I too have skeletons in my closet (not that I have a closet to begin with) I sometimes have trouble keeping them to myself.Some skeletons are just too big to be stuffed into a closet.This is the part where I'd panic coz if the closet doesn't fit,where the hell am I supposed to chuck this crap at?

Well.....back in the day,I had a counselor to thrash (and cry) at.Yes,I did have sessions with a counselor only because I had trouble sorting out the shit I have.Nowadays,I no longer have that advantage.The problem is,my depression issues hasn't resolved much.Instead,it's beginning to get out of hand.

I can't explain what being depressed feels like coz if and unless you are depressed will you know how painful this is that to a certain extent you become too numb and immune to everything around you.At that point,I would either resort to inflicting external pain onto myself just so I can feel again.........or ignore it.Sleep through it or what ever.That would not be the best thing to do coz eventually it would resurface and create a worst outburst later on.

I've tried letting it out in different ways but everything fails.This causes insomnia which I have been having lately. *extensive use of concealers!* The best thing about being depressed is that I would lose weight easily from loss of appetite.I'd usually go on for days without food and to a certain extent,I'd start to hallucinate.Its kinda fun to hallucinate coz I'd see things in a whole different level.Most of which I cannot tell if they are real or not.

*I know,why can't I just get freakin' high on marijuana?!*Well.......I have issues dealing with runners.Also,when I have the cash,they don't have the goods.It's all just bad timing,really.......

My other option would be to overdose myself with random things.Now I know what taking too much paracetamols could do to ya ;) so I'd try other drugs........in forms of medications.I haven't done this in a long while.Not sure if its a good thing.

Sometimes I think I just need to sleep a little more.And stop thinking too much!God DAMN IT!

fighting demons

We all have 'em.It's just a matter of how we do it.Been doing this in a long while.Getting quite immune to the pain it causes.It's no biggie.I'll get over it ;)

back and kickin'!

Those people at Streamyx said that it would take them a maximum of days to get our internet connection back on track (coz we moved AGAIN).Shu went for his training today and he took extra time to learn troubleshooting and he fixed our prob ;) easy peasy!

Yes,Shu is working for Streamyx and he's working in TTDI.Hahaha!How ironic is that?I live here but I have to go all the way to Puncak Alam to work.Anywho,I drove Shu to work today.He went in at 2:30pm today.Yesterday,he went to work at 4:30pm.

I love working in the afternoon coz I'd have time to do whatever I want in the morning ^_^ But I guess working only 2 and half hours a week isn't the best thing to do :/ To a certain extent,I do have the tendency to go completely mad.

Speaking of work,I had my very first experience in invigilating a mid term test on Tuesday.One student gave me some problem by failing to inform about her name being blocked off due to fees.Apart from that,I had a pretty slow week.Was hanging out at my aunt's office on Monday.Got to know another lecturer who is also teaching in Puncak Alam.

My sister is right.Apart from my supervisor,all my other colleagues are pretty much older than me.Not that it's a bad thing.Well......I hope not........ ;)

bobbi brown,one utama

Been doing a lot of heavy lifting in the last couple of days.We've moved!

That didn't stop me from carrying on adding things to my shopping list.

Well,I was at the mall in the last couple of weeks.Went to check out Laura Mercier.I was curious about their much talked about concealer pot.But then I was also curious about M.A.C. and Make Up Forever.Before I could find time to go over to those 2 places,I somehow ended up at Bobbi Brown yesterday.

The sales girl was really helpful.Shu was there the other day coz he was looking for the kabuki brush.Anyways,he did mention that he learned a lot from that girl.Well,I did too.She sat me down and put the concealer on and stuff.I lurved the end product so I just went ahead and got those ^_^

The thing about me dragging Shu along when I go shopping is coz his opinion really matters to me and the fact that I always need a second (sometimes 3rd) opinion,he's always the first person on my list.Well,there's my sister and Sarah (whom I'd always ask online) I just think that make up needs to be seen and felt unlike clothes and shoes........or handbags!

Shit!I just realized that it's already the end of February!I haven't got much time to plan anymore!Damn it!

And it doesn't help that I seriously think my students are NOT prepared for their midterm exams!SHITTO!

Terrified by Katharine McPhee

You by the light
Is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said it again my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark,
And I'm in love and I'm terrified.
For the first time in the last time
In my only life.

This could be good
It's already better than last
And love is worse than knowing
You're holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try

I only said it cause i mean it
I only mean cause it's true
So don't you doubt what i've been dreaming
Cause it fills me up and holds me close
Whenever i'm without you

did what I do best at the best time in the bestest way ever

Hahahahahahah!

And I am still laughing (out LOUD) about it :p

I got lost.It was the first time I drove to work and I got lost.The best part was that I did NOT get lost on my way THERE.I got lost ON CAMPUS itself!After class,I figured that there shouldn't be any problems at all to get out.I took a wrong turn and accidentally got into the wrong side of a one way street.This happened still WITHIN the campus grounds!

It got worse as I made my way OUTSIDE the campus gates.My first turn to the right was correct.Everything was fine right up till the point I got to the biggest junction traffic light.I was gonna turn right but then there was a huge lorry that came straight through where I was gonna turn.That got me puzzled thinking that I wasn't even supposed to turn right there.Weird though coz there was a road.A proper road.

I went straight ahead and ended up in some kampung area.There was no kampung on my way to campus.Finally,I decided to call Shu coz we were supposed to meet up halfway before going home.He told me to turn around.Then,it got better but not as I hoped it would be.I was on a highway that lead me straight to Kota Damansara.

Earlier that day before I left the house,Aunty Intan was at my place and she was telling me about a faster way to get to my work place through Kota Damansara.That must have been it.I was on it and it really was fast.

So yeah,I got lost but learned a new route which is awesome ;)

weekend with my sister

I spent Saturday night laughing so hard in the bedroom with my sister coz she found a whole stash of things like photos and autograph books and journals from her days when she was in school.Primary school.The pictures she found were priceless!Like a photo of my grandma back in the way when she was still a minister!And the photo of us celebrating my sister's birthday at TGIF when I was still a goth chick.Hahahahahahah!

The autograph book was hilarious!My sister used to have Eno's friends around her (coz they all had a crush on her) So what some of these boys did was that they signed the damn book but with super fuh ney things written in it like "I ---- ---"<---which was I Love You (Doh!) and some of them would write stuff like "Ingat lah Allah......." and my sister and I were like "WHA???" Where the hell did that come from?!

The funniest part was that I too signed the book.TWICE!The last thing I wrote was "LURVE ME!"

And we were laughing at the things she wrote in her journal when she was 15.She wrote this awesome poem though which never remembered writing.

On Sunday morning,she and I followed my dad to Ampang to see this Burmese family.Their son was begging at our front door the other day and that's how my dad got to know him.We decided to help his family out coz apart from the fact that this boy's folks were refugees,the boy and his 8 other siblings never made it to school after primary school.Also,the kid doesn't even have an I.D. card!AND.....his 15 year old sister has a 6 months old baby girl!Oh yeah,in case you're wondering,the boy is only 16 years old.

Anywho,after that we headed home.I took my siblings out for lunch.We had a good laugh over Indian food.I dragged my sister to the mall with me to catch the flee market.There was a booth that sells make up brushes and stuff and I wanted to try them.The market is only during the weekends and I have no idea where to find the brush supplier otherwise.Had a drink.We were talking about stuff.

Actually,we did a lot of that.Talking.We haven't done that in a long while and my sister just needed a second opinion about the predicament she is currently in.Seriously,I wish we had that conversation earlier.I just hope she'll decide to do the right thing before going completely insane.

I,on the other hand,have been going through some serious guilt trip..........I'll probably save it for another entry.

Shu got a job and he's already started work today.Yey! ^_^

slowing down and taking a step back

Maybe I was going a bit too fast.The way I was living my life would have had me killed in a couple of months time.Slowing down is not easy but I'm gonna try working on it.Maybe it's the thing I need.

What about shoes?!

A VERY VERY UNBIRTHDAY!!!!

Got up super late today.Had this disturbing dream about someone going missing and a whole bunch of people turning into zombies.It was really weird.

Managed to get stuff while running around doing errands and driving mum today.Got Kecik,Snow Bear and Gemok aka Fei Mao flea collars.They need it.They so need it.Especially Snow Bear and Gemok.Snow Bear is now known as the City of Kootoos.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!

Oh yeah,was going to get my grandma some cookies she wanted over at the mall so I decided to stop by at the drug store to get some eye liners.I really lurve Maybeline liners.Got meself a brown color 2-in-1 Impact Shadow Liner by Eyestudio and the Impact Express smooth felt liner in black.Yes,definitely expect some wings!YEY!

Got those kids some flea treatment shampoo too.They should all be tick and flea free in no time ^_^

I had a blastt yesterday.Shu took me to the Sepang Gold Coast.I would LOVE to have a photoshoot done there!I had a great dinner.

The night before that,Shu took me to a place called Cerana for supper somewhere in Cheras.I lurve that place too.It would be a perfect place to throw a dinner party!

Was at the Blues Bred studio (2nd time) on Monday night.We finally narrowed down our play list for the gig on the 28th.WOO HOO!!!!!!I was so not there in the studio that night.I was literally playing with my eyes closed......well,sorta.I was thinking about lion dances and more lion dances and sang when I had to.There were times when I forgot to go to the mic to sing coz I was walking around a little too far.Hehe........

The whole of Sunday was about lion dances.Monday afternoon was about the Tiger dance I've been waiting for all week.It was awesome!Spent Tuesday morning with my mum and sister.We sent my brother Qarim to Central KL coz he had to catch a bus.

I had a blast.Still looking for Tiger dance performances coz I only have till February 4th of 2011 before the end of the Tiger year ;)

Thanks for everything,baby!And thanks for all the birthday wishes people!Me lurves yous!Have a prosperous year!RRRRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!
