Night Out

This deserves an entry. The last time I came home really late was the night where my friend had her bachelorette party. It was the worst decision ever. We(the bridesmaids) had so much and were really drunk. The next day, we were all hungover and pretty much half dead.

Tonight, I went out with my colleagues. They are really fun people. I got the menu and I had absolutely no idea what to order. I ordered Strongbow after. It was really good. 

It is really nice talking to them out of school area. Conversations got more personal :)

Yeah, so I’ve made up my mind. I’ll be visiting London this summer. I hope everything goes well :)

What are you looking for?

This entry is something related to Valentines, I guess.

I’m about to share something quite private that I have really told anyone before. I have been in a very complicated relationship for quite a long time. I’m talking about years, not months. I was so sure that I have found the right one so I held on to it. At the end, it was me who suffered and I had a few emotional breakdowns. It was really bad.

I can tell you that he’s the perfect guy. Caring, responsible, respects women, polite, funny…blonde haired, blue eyes. I can go on forever. But he’s not the same anymore. I guess people change. I changed.

I guess he’s not the one I’m really looking for. When I talk to him, I always think before I speak. I was afraid that I might say something wrong that will offend him. I was not me.

I always tell myself that I should move on and I should totally forget about him. I tell myself that every year.

But this year, I finally did it! I’ve found someone that I feel comfortable with and I don’t have to be embarrassed with the silly things that I do or I say. I don’t have to hide my flaws. Plus, we share the same interests too :) He doesn’t care how silly he sounds, he doesn’t care how silly he looks. He pauses his game just to reply to my texts. No matter how busy he is, he will spend at least an hour a day talking to me. I never felt this important before. I hope this will work out and I keep my fingers crossed.

So, tell me what are you looking for? Have you found him/her? I would really love to hear some stories from you :)

 

Welcoming 2014 with achievable resolutions!

I always write down a list of new year resolutions every year and I did not even accomplish one thing from the list? I am attempting to write down a few resolutions again but this time, I’m going to achieve at least half of the list.

2013 has been kind to me, I guess. I don’t have many friends but the friends that I have right now, are really good friends and I appreciate each and every single one of them. If you are reading this, you’re my friend too! 

So to cut everything short, here are my 2014 resolutions!

#1 Think Before Act

I am a very naive person and I act before I think. Which means, I am very impulsive. This year, I’ve made a lot of bad choices. Especially when I thought that money comes easily. What a joke. So yeah, think twice and think thoroughly before making any decisions. In everything.

#2 Embrace Insecurities

Just because, confidence is overrated! Just kidding. Don’t get me wrong, having confidence is a good thing but too confident = deluded. “People with a tinge of realistic self-doubt have a motivating force to improve–they’re more open to feedback, and tend to make smarter decisions.” You can read it here.

#3 Be Healthy

No more junk food. No more processed food. I want to eat healthy. I actually started eating healthily beginning of December. So far so good. I am gonna spend at least 40 minutes in the gym, at least twice a week. 

#4 Cut Down Afternoon Naps

I take long naps in the afternoon. Really long naps like 1-2 hours. Sometimes 3. So I have to cut down on that and have 30 minutes instead. This is going to be tough because I love to sleep. Wait, who doesn’t?

#5 Stop Saying “Yes”

I am really bad at rejecting things/people so I tend to be stressed out and I worry a lot when I can’t get things done. I have to put more balance in my life so that I can focus better and have things done on time. 

 

Hopefully I will keep all these resolutions! Wish me luck!

Happy 2014!

Losing Weight with Sensualite : Day 1

I move a lot when I’m working but I don’t know why I’m not losing weight. I don’t eat a lot either. I don’t have much time to exercise because I work from 7 am till 3 pm. When I’m home it’s already 4 pm and I am usually dead tired. I have things to do like tutoring and tidying up at home. So my time is basically gone.

So, Chinese New Year is almost near and I’m really sick of people telling me that I’m getting fatter and fatter. They will compare me with others and it makes me lose my self esteem and confidence. Yup, if I die during this weight loss thing…they are to be blamed.

I started the Sensualite Diet Programme today and it says that you can lose weight within 40 days. Did a little research and it is completely safe and it’s made of natural ingredients. This is a meal replacement and it

1. Reduces appetite
2. Reduces visceral fat
3. Reduces body weight

It comes in two flavours which are Vanilla and Chocolate. I took the chocolate one because I never liked vanilla. It tastes like chocolate ice-cream! I’m not even lying.

So I had my first drink in the morning which was about 11.00 am. I took it and I felt really full. I wasn’t hungry until it was about 5.00 pm and I took my second drink. I had a slice of cheese in between because I wanted to eat something salty. I didn’t crave for food that much today. I just had my dinner which was 2 spoons of rice, fish and stir-fried vegetables.

Here are some pictures

Here’s the packaging (on the left)

How it looks like inside. It has 15 sachets in a box and it comes with a little instruction book too.

Directions on how to use it on the outside of the box. You have to shake it vigorously. Yes, shake it with all your strength.

So, 200ml of cold water in a shaker. I used a water tumbler because I am clumsy and I will most likely spill everything if I use a shaker.

How it looks like after you mix it well.

 

Sorry for the low quality pictures. I just found my camera and it’s charging right now. Hopefully I will have better quality pictures to post for tomorrow’s entry.

Thanks for reading!

 

Product Review : PeriPera Peri’s Water Tint

Hello!

I’m back for another review! I know I’m a little late but I decided to try the lip tints. I don’t normally apply lip gloss/lip stick on my lips because it’s so annoying. The sticky feeling and you get your hair all stuck on your lips. Not attractive at all.

I really wanted to try out the gradient lips thing that everyone raved about on the internet. I was looking for the perfect lip tint for months now and I’ve found the one. The one who has the perfect shade and doesn’t smell funny.

Gradient Lips

It looks super pretty. To me at least. This technique actually makes your lips look smaller.

I went into Sasa and I bought this

PeriPera Peri’s Water Tint in #2 Pink Juice

Super cute packaging with that little cat doll on the cap. And it’s glass!

The colour looks kinda intimidating but the salesperson actually recommended me to take this colour because it compliments my skin tone. I tried it on and I loved it. My mom took another colour which was #1 Cherry Red. The colour looks like blood. Literally. My sister freaked out when she saw my mom applying it on her lips.

Before blending

After blending

This lip tint can be used on your cheeks as well. It gives you a nice flush and it lasts all day.

So, this lip tint blends really well and it smells like lollipops! It doesn’t give me any sticky feeling at all. You have to make sure your lips are properly exfoliated before you apply this or else it won’t look nice.

Instructions on how to achieve gradient lips

Products I Love

Hello! So I got some pretty good feedbacks from the previous post and I decided to write a blog post about products that I love and pretty much can’t live without.

Lets start!

Favourite Foundation

My skin is pretty oily and I’ve tried so many different foundations. From drug stores to high end foundations. Then, I came across this foundation which is the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation.

A little goes a long way. It covers really well and stays on all day. Doesn’t feel thick or cakey. Best of all, doesn’t transfer on your clothes. I don’t even need to powder skin and conceal. But, I hate the packaging as it doesn’t come with a pump and it gets pretty messy when you’re trying to get the foundation out from the bottle. This bottle of foundation lasted for 6 months.

Favourite Eyebrow Pencil

Face Shop Design My Eyebrow

This pencil is hands down the best eyebrow pencil I’ve ever used. Stays on pretty well and it’s easy to use. Super cheap too!

Favourite Eyeshadow Palette

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Very versatile palette. Can be used for natural to smoky eyes and you can never go wrong.

Favourite Eyeliner

Etude House Oh My Eyeline

This is a liquid eyeliner. Doesn’t smudge and doesn’t smear. Waterproof but easy to be removed with regular eye make up remover. I have super oily eyelids and this eyeliner stays on all day. Very tricky to be applied at first but practice makes perfect. I’ve been using this eyeliner for years now. Hands down, the best!

Favourite Blusher

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Blusher in Pink Kiss

Another high end product but it lasts for years. This colour is super pretty for asian skin.

Favourite Mascara

Maybelline Falsies.

Maybelline mascaras are the best! Gives you volume and length. Doesn’t smudge at all. This can be pretty tricky to remove so you need a good oil based eye makeup remover to remove this. I have yet to try the Rocket Volume mascara but I will give it a try soon :)

No lipglosses or lipsticks because I don’t wear them. But I went shopping today and bought some other new stuffs. I will do a review soon. So yup, that’s all for today!

Christmas Wishlist!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la, la la la la….

Yay! Christmas is near!

Time for presents and here’s my Christmas wishlist :)

Make up. Make up and more make up!

Benefit Coralista

Urban Decay Naked 3

Benefit Porefessional Powder

Stila Metal Foil Eyeshadow

I went into Sephora the other day and I was looking for the Naked 3 palette. It was not released yet. So I figured I would wait for it and I walked around Sephora. Something caught my eye. It was the Stila Magnificent Metals Eyeshadow. So sparkly and ideal for Christmas/events. There were 12 colours to choose from if I am not mistaken. It was RM99 for one colour. I immediately took one and swatched it on my hand. I was impressed. Look how sparkly it is!

I’m going to get another colour if I visit Sephora again. This eyeshadow comes with a free primer too. But I wasn’t really happy with the primer because it was like water and I don’t think it will work as well compared to the Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Any ideas on what I should write about for my next post? My holy grail make up products maybe? Let me know! :)

Updates.

When was the last time I posted? Can’t remember.

Things has been going quite well for me :) 

I just want to share something really interesting today. As some of you know, I’ve been struggling with acne for a few years now. People always tell me “Aiya, your pimples will go away soon la you’re not going to be a teenager forever!”

SO WRONG.

I’ve tried so many different brands like Clinique, Biotherm, Estee Lauder but nothing worked for me. When my skin condition got really bad my mom took me to different dermatologists and they gave me meds like to make my pimples go away. It was hell. The meds made my skin really dry and my lips started cracking. I went to another dermatologist and she told me that I need to do acid peeling. Oh nothing much you know, just apply acid to your face and let the acid peel off the top layer of your skin. Well, I’m a scaredy cat and I didn’t do it.

And you have been wondering what did I do to make my skin better now.

The answer is :

 

Yup. Collagen. Skin needs to be healed from within.

This healed my acne and my sensitive skin. My eyebags are less visible too.

Life saver :)

P/S : This drink tastes super good as well.

 

 

So much heat.

I think everyone needs to get their priorities sorted out. If you’re at work, get all your things done. If it’s your lesson, you have to prepare it beforehand. Don’t expect other people to do it for you. It’s fine if you need help from me not on the last minute because I have to do my own preparations as well. Clean up your mess too.

You are getting paid. If you want others to do your job for you, give them your pay because they didn’t owe you anything and they sure as hell are not your servants/slaves.

I am doing my job. I am doing what is right and appropriate for my students. You are in no position to judge me. If I am inexperienced, what about you?

I don’t know how long I can “calm down” anymore. One day, I will just explode.

Therapy

I realised that I’ve changed a lot these past few years. From a psychotic teenage girl who hates everyone to a person who is willing to do anything to make others happy.

Oh well.

I can’t wait for the holidays to be here. I really need to rest and get all my CIDTT assignments done. I’m so screwed if I don’t get them done on time.

I think working with young children is a therapy for me. I find it “healing”. When I step into my classroom and see all of their smiling faces I will instantly forget about me being unhappy.

I did letter ‘b’ with them today and hooray! All of them can trace with the correct formation! Yesterday was a mess because they kept on tracing it wrongly.

3 more days to go :)
