Insignificance and Tolerance

At some point in a person's life, they'll come to a point of realisation of where they stand in life. Where they truly stand in a person's eyes.

Me? I've just came to a point that I realise that I have never achieved anything much in life, I am not one of the smartest people, not one of the richest, never excelled much in wtv I did.. I'm just an insignificant being. Neither this nor that. The one that doesn't have bday parties thrown for her, the one that doesn't have gifts piling up on chirstmas, the one that has friends who makes her feel insignificant at times, the one that never had a father arnd much, the one that has a workaholic mom ( my parents love me.. Don't jump to conclusions! Haha..). I'm just that girl that never really made an impact on someone's life. Yea okay maybe I've hurt people, made a few happy but that's about it. -__- So meaningless. I need to find peace within and of course only God can fill that gap in my life. I am blessed of course. Just unsatisfied with some parts of my life. It's time for a change.. I need to think about what I want for my future and head there.

Sounds so tragic. I may have made it sound worst than it actually is. Let me cut down on all my melodramatic-ness! :P (TRY) Haha!

First & foremost, I am happy. All this rant is just me being upset that people just walk in and out of my life so easily. I just need people I can really count on. Friends, family, best friends.. People that are there for me and truly care & appreciate me. I feel like I always give and give till I realize nobody gives a crap about how I feel. But it's okay. I believe that "what you sow is what reap". Wtv.. Ok I sound like some emo teenager that's about to slit her wrist. ._. I am NOT about to do that.. I just felt like sharing my random thoughts at 3:43am. Yup.

I just think its time I am surrounded by people who make me happy. People who truly love me & appreciate me. I'm done always being the one that gets pushed arnd so much.. Pfft.. Find urself another doormat! I am retiring.. To the people that have always been there for me, thank you. :)

Will be taking bigger measures from now on. For myself. Finally.. For once, it's going to be about me. People who are so quick to judge me, just fuck off. I don't need people like u who don't know a thing about me, affect the way I feel. :)

Competitive Nature

I just joined a competition a month ago for TheFaceShop's Top Girl competition. Results are coming out on the 16thMay2012! I am freaking out!

They will pick the Top20 & the 20 will attend an interview on the 19thMay2012! On that day itself, they will eliminate 10 people!! Omg.. I really hope my interview session goes well.. Or else.. I can wave goodbye to my dream of representing the brand for 1year, the RM8000, the all expense paid trip to Korea, meeting the ambassadors, making new friends from all over Asia and the supply of beauty products! D;

After they pick the Top10, the 10 will be asked to go for a photo shoot immediately! The pictures will then BR uploaded and posted on their fb page. Ok, do this is the part I dislike. The contestants must ask their fellow friends to vote for them. I believe that this is a li'l unfair as ppl with more friends will get more votes. D;

According to them, the votes only carry a small percentage of marks to the final decision. <3 Omo.. Hwaiting!

If I do get in, vote for me? 💛 Haha ok let's not count the eggs before they're hatched!

Life's unexpected turn.. Happy Mother's Day 2012!

 

Sorry for not posting for so long.. :D Missed me? I've been so busy with my exams that I had very little time for anything else. A-levels is indeed really hectic!

When I enrolled myself into A-levels, in Inti, I was not expecting my class to be so empty. D;

I literally have about 6 students including me in 2 of my classes.

HOW SAD RIGHT? </3

It's been driving me INSANE!

Anyway, I am currently sitting for my AS. I am taking 3 subs. (Law, Business & Econs)

If ur planning to get into Inti, pls do NOT take Econs. Reasons shall not be specified. :) <3

So during the time while I was gone, I bought a new phone! :D Nokia Asha 200.

It has been serving me well at the price of RM250 only.. Everyone shld get one. Its super adorable! With its rounded edges, it looks like an egg shaped phone. Li'l panda pluggy lights up whenever someone texts/calls me. <3 Heh.. Love it..

Okay I know its a li'l long, but it's worth the watch.. Btw, suscribe to Wongfuproductions! :D U would be surprised with their inspiring videos..

Well honestly, not every couple ends up like that.. The process is not irreversible! :) 

Anyway, this is a picture I took and editted. I am considering saving up to buy a DSLR! Do u guys have any suggestions on which brand and model is better? My budget is prolly arnd RM2500..

I have decided to be a full-time blogger after my AS! :D But of cos I will be taking a break whenever exams are nearing.. What do u think? Should I continue blogging or would u rather me not blog anymore? :( Would u read my blog if I did?

I will be updating this blog with makeup tutorials, my shopping hauls, fashion, photography and wtv I find interesting. <3

Well, if ur interested in continuously reading my blog, do comment in the chat box on the right! 

Well, since it's mother's day, Happy Mother's Day to all mummys out there! <3

For A Cause

 Here are pictures from my Instagram. :) I just started a cause on instagram for  those who are undergoing depression and eating disorders. I've had my fair share of all those growing up and I never had the proper guidance or anyone to talk to me about these matters. Therefore, I started this cause with the hash tag #mystoryis for people to share their stories on what is going on in their lives.

With this hash tag, i'm hoping that more people would respond and come to know of it as this gives them an opportunity to voice out and get heard. Here's where all the other IGers can share their concern & love. Some of those undergoing depression and eating disorders are as young as 14yrs old!

So please.. I am here, asking for everyone of you who has a kind soul, please share this cause as it can help save lives of those girls who are suicidal. Together we can educate more people on depression and eating disorders. This can bring awareness. I'm only hoping that one day, all these will come to an end as its not something anyone or any child should have to go through.

Don't think that these people are stupid to be suicidal. Most have been abused emotionally/physically most of their lives. And its because of the things that people say that causes it. Sometimes calling someone else fat or ugly can cause more damage than you think. To you, it may only seem as harmless fun but its different on the receiving end. So stop it as it might cost a life!

My Story


This isn't easy for me but I know that if I start, people will speak out too. I'm doing this for a good cause. So please.. Don't leave harsh comments.

My parents separated at the age of 3. I pretty much had to grow up much faster than most kids. I grew to be independent and had no choice. When I was 6, I was moved back to Seremban to live. That was the moment where things started to fall apart as I was forced to live with my grandparents. :) Due to the large age gap, we never got along really well and there was nobody to talk to or understand my predicament. I missed being around my mom and looked forward to every weekend for her return.

 When I was 11, that was when my parents officially got a divorce. Signed. When I heard the news, that was when I knew that there was no point trying to reconcile them any longer. I was devastated. From that moment on, I started going through depression as being the only child only means no company, nobody to talk to and loneliness. My friends were never really close to me and I never really liked talking about my family matters. I started starving myself and puking everything I ate as it made me feel better about myself. I felt that I was fat and I needed to get thinner to be prettier hoping that i'd be better accepted by my peers. I only ate salad and vegetables and nothing else. From that moment on, I fell sick easily, had breathing difficulties and heart palpitation. Not a good feeling. I promise. It did not make me feel prettier at all. I just felt uglier as I got skinnier and skinnier.

 At the age of 12, I lost all motivation to go to school or to mingle as at that time, my friends just grew apart from me. I missed 3 months of school in total, I stopped doing my HW, moved from the 1st class to the last for a week and a half. I was teased a lot in school. I was the girl from the broken family. I was the spoilt only child. What nobody knew was that I was independent. I grew up on my own. I learnt from my mistakes. Either way, the teachers from that school put me to much shame and humiliation. They did not help the matter but made things worst by talking behind my back about me being "the girl from the broken family". I was being singled out throughout the year. Finally,  UPSR came. I made sure I wanted to prove everybody wrong cause nobody believed I could do well. I used the time being alone to study really hard and finally, I got myself the straight A's by God's grace. That was the breaking point of my depression. It gradually got better from then on. If it weren't for God, I don't know where I would have been today for all the moments I attempted to give up on life. My results was the way God showed me that he was there and that if no one else cared, He did. So I really thank God for my recovery today. :)

Here's the gist of  my story. Share urs.

Thank u so much for helping out. I love u all.. <3 :)

Please be my miracle workers! <3 :D

I believe in Magic

I had a make up shopping spree today! <3 :D
My perfect remedy for all my problems..

U know, ppl say make up makes u fake.. Some people use it to change the way they look but...

I believe make up can be beneficial to your skin and it helps highlight beautiful areas and some make up has minerals and moisture that ur skin needs.

It really depends how you use your make up. It shouldn't be used as to manipulate other people and change your looks..

Things I bought today! :)

Lets start of with Pavilion...

This apparently helps give your lips a very natural pink shade. This is a two way lippie. The red side is collagen that helps refine the lines on your lips whereas the white side helps remove dark areas on your lips and return your original lip colour.

Price: RM118

Location: Parkson @ Pavilion

Brand: ShiZens

This hand cream is very unique as it is water base. When you squeeze the cream out of the tube, its matte and it looks dry but when u rub it a little, u can see droplets of water forming on ur hand. This formula helps the moisture to seep into ur skin with much ease. I bought two tubes cause it's THAT good! :D

Price: RM48

Location: Parkson @ Pavilion

Brand: ShiZens

When I went to Sephora, damage done:

O.P.I. Nail Lacquer

Colour code: Meet Me on the Star Ferry

Price: RM59

Location: Sephora (directly opposite Pavilion's main entrance)

Korean Brand Face Line Shading Highlighter

It has duo effect. One functions as a shader to enhance your contours and the other is to highlight your cheekbones, chin, T-zone etc.. Really love the matte feeling of this..
I would go back to get this again when I finish! It's affordable and the quality is assured. It has very smooth and easy application.

Price: RM37.90

Location: Sephora

Dior Skin Extreme Fit

The best skin foundation! Thick coverage and a perfect finish..

My mom and I have been using this for years and we both have sensitive skin! Those of you out there, this foundation is worth every penny. I usually put this on and not put on any other make up products to have a porcelain skin look. Sometimes with a tinge of blusher..

Brand: Christian Dior
Price: RM140

Location: Sephora

After all the purchases, I got this mini 10 day trial powder for free. :) I guess it's pretty alright. Love the cute brush! :D This gives light-medium coverage and it feels so light on my skin! Its like not having any make up on! The next round at Sephora, I might just get it! <3

Now at COCiCOCi!

Damage done: Minimal

This is a 3 in 1 concealer. The pink is used for dark circles, green used for red blotchy patches and the nude color is used for pimple scars or any other pigmentations.

Brand: essence, forget it!

Price: RM11.90

Location: COCiCOCi (Bintang Walk further down from Fahrenheit 88)

U can also get it at MV now that they just opened up a new branch there.. There are more brands available at MV.

This is a new range by essence. It has very nice shades that blend very well together! <3
Brand: essence, Metallics Quatro Eyeshadow in number 3
Price: RM17.90
Location: COCiCOCi

This is one of my favorite eyeshadow pallete.. U can use this to create smokey eyes for both day and night! Perfect pallete for a whole day. Now every lady can keep this small pallete in their handbag and be prepared for any surprise events or dates! <3 :D So cheap and useful!

Brand: essence, quattro eyeshadow

Price: RM14.90

Location: COCiCOCi

Now this two eye liners are a steal! One is a white eyeliner that I use to make my eyes look much brighter and awake and the black one to make my eyes look bigger! It glides very easily on my eye lids.. The tip is soft as it is a crayon. Surprisingly whenever I use crayon eye liners it will smudge and break easily whereas this doesn't.. The white eye liner is a pearly metallic white. When you put it on, it looks like a li'l bit silvery. U wouldn't believe your eyes when you see the price!

Brand: essence, Metallic

Price: RM6.90 for one

Location: COCiCOCi

Now start shopping for ur make up at both this places for great grabs!

Sephora offers a wide range of products such as Soap&Glory, Christian Dior, Clarins, Clinique and many more..! Visit their facebook SEPHORA . This page is always active as the sales assistant from Sephora is always there to assist u online. On the left is their stocklist. Click it to view the brands they offer!

COCiCOCi offers quality make up with prices so affordable! This is your go to place if you are on a tight budget! They offer products such as essence, Hope Girl (korean brand), Empro and a few others. Essence is the number 1 brand in Europe. The reason for their low prices is because they do not advertise their products. Quality is ensured! :)

Thanks for reading and leaving ur footprints behind everyone..

You're Beautiful Drama Review

This song brings great meaning and emotions to me. I will post up the meaning of this song below.

The name of the Drama is You're Beautiful and it is definitely one of my favorite dramas. This drama is funny, romantic, happy and sad all at the same time.

This drama is about a girl (Go Mi Nyu) who is about to graduate as a nun but something happened to her fraternal twin brother (Go Mi Nam) who is an aspiring singer who is suppose to sign a contract to join a band called A.N.JELL. So his Manager, Ma went to look for Mi Nyu in hopes of her to represent herself as Mi Nam to sign the contract and join the band till Mi Nam returns.

The journey began as Mi Nyu dressing up as her brother Mi Nam and lived with 3 other singers in a house. Slowly, Mi Nyu finds love and the band members slowly uncovers that she is a girl. Tae Kyung who is the band leader hated her and wanted to spill the secrets of her being a girl but slowly grew to like her. Her other band members grew very fond of her and things got complicated when another solo singer Yoo He Yi finds out the truth of Mi Nam. :) Watch the drama to find out what happens after He Yi finds out the big secret of A.N.Jell.

Pics.. :D

From left to right- Mi Nam, Jeremy, Tae Kyung and Hyung.

Promise by A.N.JELL [English Translation]

I will promise you to live with only you in my two eyes
I will promise you to live with only you in my two arms
From the time I open my eyes and till I sleep I will only yearn for you
I love you don’t forget these words I love you forever

I will become the shade in the hot summer
I will become your umbrella when it rains
I will become the small chair when you become tired from walking
So that your happiness will be doubled, I wll laugh with you
I will become the towel when you cry to wipe you tears

I will promise you to live with only you in my two eyes
I will promise you to live with only you in my two arms
From the time I open my eyes and till I sleep I will only yearn for you
I love you don’t forget these words I love you forever

Rap:
We are like coffee and doughnut
Giving me happiness you are my special
Day by day you are running low on energy Emergency
Breathing life into you, your sweet scent

The love I hid every single day
On the day we are together I will show you all

I will promise you that wherever I am I will only remember you
I will promise you that whatever I am doing I will remember you
Forever I will live with this new path in my life
I love you don’t forget there words I love you forever

Rap:
Yes A.N.JELL here! I will promise just do it Girl
I love you, what more do I need?
My thumping left heart will answer you
One step two step three and four
I will slowly move closer to you
I can’t tell you to wait for me because I will take you

I will promise you to live with only you in my two eyes
I will promise you to live with only you in my two arms
From the time I open my eyes and till I sleep I will only yearn for you
I love you don’t forget these words I love you forever

Lovely song isn't it? <3 I fell in love with this song.

I'll learn this song and maybe one day sing it and post a video here. Yay/Nay? :D

Purring the Angelic Look

Now as we all know, there are some days where we feel a li'l naughty. *wink*

Well here's a trick.. Wanna look naughty and angelic both at the same time? ;)

Let me teach you how girls..! ♥

Okay so here's how u get the look.

Must haves:

1. A white dress

2. Braids at ur fringe

3. EYELINER *essential*

4. Wedges

So Simple! :D

So this is a picture of how I did my eye. I used a liquid eyeliner to do two sleek swipes at the end to create a dynamic cat eye effect. Nice? :D Now u get the theme? :)

I did not use much make up except for liquid foundation, powder and a soft pink blusher. For this look, I kept it simple as to keep to the theme, Purring the Angelic Look.

Here are some pictures of the dinner I attended to. It was held at Umaiya (a Japanese restaurant). A li'l pricey I must say.

Braided fringe creates a softer angelic look! Try it out.. Here's a link to teach u how to do that.

Quick and simple! Here's where I learnt how to do mine. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdtwbGu0OH8

I completed my look with a brown waist-clencher belt and a beige Chanel bag.

I wore white wedges for the night! ;) I am an angel in disguise..

When u want to look angelic, just smile innocently and look cute! :DD My friend on my right is the best teacher. She's adorable. (Zi Ling)

From the Left: Ling Hui, Zi Ling, Me, Kimberly

All the sweet Angelic girls who are wild on the inside. ;)

From top Left: Me, Kimberly, Vallerie

From bottom Left: Zi Ling, Ling Hui, Li Ping

So here's the purring for the night.. ;)

The one that is the most essential part of getting this look is the cat eye effect.

Rmbr if u are planning to create this look for a dinner or an event, practice doing the cat eye effect a day before! It took me a while to get the eyes right. :) Good luck girls!

Movie Review : POTC 4 [On Stranger Tides]

Pirates of The Carribean: On Stranger Tides 

Out of 10, I rate it a 7. Reason why?

I believe that the fourth did not have many action scenes and there were many questions lingering.. Like how did Philip know the name of the mermaid, Syrena and as well vice versa. And where did Syrena bring Philip to at the end of the movie?

It was quite a let down for a POTC fan. Agreed? Share your opinions with me below or at my Shout box.

 My favourite character of all time will of cause have to be Captain Jack Sparrow. :) His voice and his facial expressions are amazing! He's legendary.. He fits the character so perfectly. I love how there was a scene where Captain Jack Sparrow showed a softer side to him where he knew he had feelings for Angelica. <3

Okay so there was something bothering me about Angelica. As u all know, she played a fiesty strong woman character.. Remember the scene where Jack left her at the island and left right before he kissed her? I expected her to have done more than just shoot at him with that one last bullet. She did not swim after him nor fight him to stay. This part left me confused of her character in the movie.

Now as for Blackbeard.. I didn't like the name of his ship, Queen Anne's Revenge. Somehow it did not stand out for me. :\ But I guess that's my own personal opinion. Anyhow I love the Blackbeard character. It was all cool and interesting.. :DD *thumbs up*

But the negative part about Blackbeard was the way he was killed. He was such a powerful captain and he was killed by just being stabbed in the back by the "One Legged Man"?! OMG I was expecting a huge war or something! More fights at least! Ugh.. See? Another let down.

 The cute couple. I love how the writer made this 2 (Philip and Syrena) fall in love. I would have never expected it from the start. I thought Philip was just a insignificant character in this movie. <3 Love the softer side of POTC. Philip Swift's real name is Sam Claflin and as for Syrena, her name is Astrid Berges-Frisbey. Kinda find her name so cool. ;D

 Well here's a treat for you guys.. ;) I believe the mermaids are beautiful. 

Here is the first Mermaid they encountered. She is actually a supermodel from Australia named Gemma Ward. So gorgeous. Somehow her looks attracted me most. There is just something about her that is so alluring.

Breanne Beth Berret acted as another mermaid too.

Okay so here.. This scene was the most disgusting part of the whole movie! Ewww! Wth is with that smile and the thumbs up!? So gross! Omg I still can't get it out of my mind.

Hope you enjoyed the review. Please share your opinions with me. Thank you so much! :D
