This will be my last post...

...FOR THE YEAR 2011!!!!

GOTCHA!

I've been seeing my friends posting their new year resolutions on Facebook for the past few days. Don't you think it's kinda cliche? Making all sorts of resolution on New Year's eve and totally forget about it after the clock struck 12 =_____= Well, let's just join the norm and make a resolution too. My new year resolution is to stay alive if anything happens to world. Well, you see, it's 2012!!

DOOMSDAY!!!!!!!

JENG! JENG! JENG!

And IF the world really comes to an end, I hope I will die beautiful T___T You know, frozen maybe. So I can preserve my face for a long long time. And hopefully after a few eons, mankind will resurrect and find my frozen dead body, still pretty and intact XD

...

Nobody knows if the world will really ends on the 21st December 2012, but even if it does, we still have a year to live. While we are still very alive now, let's just live our lives fullest everyday for now, shall we =)

For this last 2 days of 2011, let's take time and reminisce the passed 1 year. Did you do something memorable? Achieve something magnificent? Been somewhere unforgettable? My 2011 has been a crazy ride. Mainly because of my job. I have a love hate relationship with my it. Though I whine and cry when I'm in the midst of projects, but once over, I feel proud of what I did. My portfolio has flourished so much, it's unbelievable. If you ask me if it's a fruitful 2011, I'm going to say it is =)

So 2012 is here, bring it on!

Pardon me, I'm very obsessed with 9gag lately XD We practically talk 9gag language in the office.

On another note, I finally curled my hair! To welcome the anticipated 2012! If the world doesn't end, I have a feeling it's gonna be an awesome year! Like my hair! ^^

I like it when it's loose and fluffy.

 

Having curly hair is such a high maintanence =__= Everytime I finish showering I will need to blow dry it and curl them with hair serum like sausages. The next day when I wake up before going out, I will need to rake the sausage-like curls with my fingers and set them with hair spray. GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Such hassle, bahhh!!!!

Sausage hair. Alvin said I look like
Jack Sparrow =_=

Before I end my 2011 last post, let's enjoy an upbringing and joyful song from Beyonce, Love On Top. Nobody knows what will happen the coming next minute. Life is fragile and precious. Put aside all the hatred and boundaries. Let's make love instead of war. Let's hold hands and pray for no more catastrophe. Just love all around the world. Just love, on top of everything else =) Bye 2011.

Christmas wishes.

I haven't been blogging for a month! It has been a hell-ish 2 months. Work is draining me, physically and emotionally. The stress and work load really had the best of me. I suffered anxiety, stress and insomnia =( Can you imagine a designer doing all the designs for all 4 events in 1 month? I literally felt like Ip Man, 一个打十个!!!

I couldn't even feel the Christmas atmosphere =( I love Christmas, I like the bling blings and jing jings. But because work overcame me, I was blinded from Christmas. But thank goodness all the events are finally over. I can have a good rest for some time until another war comes again next year T__T

And since I've been such a good girl this year, working my ass off....so dear Santa, please grant my wishes. I'm not asking for a lot of things, just these few...

Actually I can get most of the stuff on the Christmas tree already, but it seems to have so many obstacles in between.

1. Samsung Galaxy Note - Out of Stock T___T
2. Dr Dre Beats Headphone - Need to wait for confirmation to ship from US (cheaper ma)
3. SKII Festive Set - I won it from contest! ^^ Just need to take leave for a day to collect it, they only allow pick up on weekdays during working hour, KNS!
4. Apple iMac - I planned to buy with my bonus, but bonus seems so far far farrrrrrrrrrrrrr away now =(
5. Burberry Smoked Check Tote - Hmm...I have no news about this yet. Hopefully Santa will give it to me.

The most I want now is the phone!!!! I need a new bloody phone now!!! People are laughing at my old school press phone T____T and it is giving me problems!!! It hangs, it auto shuts down, it won't receive calls! Bloody hell it has it's own temper!

As for the SKII festive set. It was really miraculous! I wanted Alvin to buy it for me for Christmas, but everywhere ran out of stock. And we have to go to Pulau Pangkor during Chinese New Year, so Alvin said he needs to save some money for my birthday (which is in less than a month). Hence I can only choose either one, so I gave up the SKII =(

But few months back, I took part in the SKII Miracle Maker contest in Facebook and made a wish. During that time, Bangkok was flooding and lives were taken away. So I wished for "No more flood, earth quake, volcano eruption and hurricane. Peace to the only earth we have." I've totally forgotten about this after submitting my wish. Until few days ago someone called me to say that I've won a set of SKII Festive Set! Everyone wished for beautiful skin with SKII, so selfish. I was the only selfless one who wished for peace to  the world. I should have won the grand prize. Cis!

But nonetheless, when you wish with a sincere heart, it will really come true! *JOY TO THE WORLD*

What happened in JB.

WHAT HAPPENED IN JB?!

.....

LOTSA CAMWHORING SESSION! HAHAHAHA!!!!

I WAS LEFT ALL BY MYSELF IN THE HOTEL ROOM FROM 8.30AM TO 6PM!!!! KNS!!!!

I'm finally back from Johor! Surprisingly we only took 2-3 hours to reach Johor, all along I thought the journey down south needs 6 hours =S It was not as tiring as the previous event I went to. This round I got to laze all day in the hotel room while the guys went out for set up. Hahaha! Talk about the privilege of  being a girl ;P

They supposed to come back during lunch time to pick me up for food. But they were too busy they abandoned me to rot in the hotel T____T So what's gonna happen if you dump a camwhore queen all by herself in a room? Lotsa camwhoring activities!!!!

My room 1008 in Mutiara JB Hotel. Thanks boss!

Behold the following camwhore shots! XD

Tried taking this one with my hair
swept across the bed like a fan in
the shampoo ad. Failed horribly ~_~

Left starving in the room for the
whole day. I paid revenge by ordering
room service. Wai-ki-ki sandwich
for RM29 on the bed with TV!!!
While the guys suck on their McDs!
Muahahaha!

6pm and the guys finally came back. Time for the event! No time to take a shot of myself with nice outfit and make up =(

Some guests decided to go on stage to dance along.

 

The event ended at 12am, by the time we finished packing. It was already 1-2am! O_o And we had late supper til 3am! F A T  D I E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glimpse of the beautiful sunset while on the way
back to KL. The end of another fight.

Before and After.

Few weeks ago, I happened to watch the famous Taiwanese show, Guess Guess Guess, hosted by the funnyman, Jacky Wu. They showed 3 pictures of 3 hot chicks to the audience, sexy pose, bodycon dress and full make up. All looked damn hot and seductive. Then they ushered the girls to the stage and revealed their true face, without make up. OMFG! They looked SOOOoooOOoooo different from the pictures! To the extend Jacky Wu had to covered one of the girl's face with a mask, so bad! One of the girl said her ex bf said her face looked like as though it was ran over by a truck ~____~

But all thanks to make up and photoshop, the ugly duckling can finally look like a swan. Blemishes can be covered with thick foundation , dark eye circles were covered with concealer, small eyes were made big like manga eyes with eyelid tape and contact lens. So the truth is, guys...please grow some brain and don't always believe what you see, especially girls with that extra thick make up.

Here are some of my online finds of famous people before and after make up.

Supermodel Heidi Klum.
She looked like an ordinary aunty without make up.

The hot Eva Longoria.
Her eyebags are bigger than her big smile.

Jessica Biel.
I think she looked alright without make up =)

Katie Holmes.
She always looked so tired with that panda eyes.

Ok she is not famous.
But I REALLY have to show this!
Look at the wonders of eyelid tape, contact lens
and fake lashes! I'm speechless.

And thus this gave me an idea of doing one before and after picture of myself too. I'm an honest person, so I don't mind showing my bare face =S Mind you, there is no photoshop alteration here. Photos were taken with iPhone. If you're wondering why the colors look different. That's because the before picture was taken with the window shade closed on the other side. And as for the after picture, Alvin opened the window shade therefore the room looked brighter.

So, what do you think?

Some random pictures taken randomly.

At Alvin's favorite ramen shop.

Hotcha!

Slurrrrrrp!

Me with my dorky glasses.

Tom yam soup, my fav XD

How dare you took my picture!
Die you!

There goes my post on this fine Sunday night. Have a good night sleep and prepare to fight for another week. My Monday blue is kicking in already T____T BUT! I will only be in the office for 3.5 days only! I will be off to Johor for another 7aste event! ^^ No noisy boss for 1.5 days, ok ma.

It's November already?

As I get older I realise time is slipping by even faster. Why? Why can't I preserve my youth longer T___T In another 2 months I'll be 26. It's a sad hard truth which I need to force myself to accept =( I'm nearing the 30s! WTF!

I watched In Time the other day, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried.. Though the movie is a bit expected, but it made me think about appreciating the time and life that I have. They need to fight through everyday and to some extend, kill, to have more time to live. While in reality, some of us just waste our time doing stupid things like as though we are going to live forever. But the fact is we don't. We all will die, someday. We are aging and getting closer to death, every single day. Just that we don't realise it. Probably because we repeat our daily lives like a routine, therefore time just slip away =(

The road I travel everyday to work.

Sheepy dangling on my rear view mirror.

Little owl and chicky had a fight.
Won't bother to look at each other. LOL.

The jam that I need to endure everyday. This is KL.

My face early in the morning.
All puffy and sleepy.
And protect your eyes with a shade!
The bigger the better!

I read something in a forwarded email the other day and it's so true, hit right at the spot!

3 STAGES IN LIFE:
Teen age: Have time + Energy = No Money
Working age: Have money + Energy = No Time
Old age: Have time + Money = No Energy

LOL!!! Isn't it true or what! When you have all the energy and time during your teens, perky smooth skin and raging hormones, but you have no money to eat the finest, travel the far countries and shop the high end. And when you're out working, still young with energy, but you're too caught up with work earning all the big bucks and have no time to enjoy life. And finally when you're all old, saggy and wrinkled, you have all the time and money you earned during your working life, you no longer have the energy and troubled with all kinds of sickness. Yeap, bingo!

Someone like you.

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

***I found someone way better than you.

SALMONNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I'm a huge fan of salmon. Raw or cooked, I love it to bits! Especially smoked, yumssss!!!! Therefore I love Japanese food. I love sushi, handroll, soba, sashimi, anything! Except wasabi of course =__= So when I saw the Japanese buffet promo in Groupon, I jumped! Yes, I bought another deal from Groupon AGAIN. This is the 3rd time in 2 months =P But what's not to love about super cheap deals!

The deal is offered by Daidomon Japanese BBQ Buffet at Great Eastern Mall. I totally have no idea Great Eastern has their own mall O_o Our experience this time was way better than the first promo we bought from Groupon, the Dim Sum and Sushi buffet at Holiday Villa Hotel (limited choices and broken air cond). I guess restaurants at hotels are usually fond of conning people, hmph!

Did I mention I made a complain to Groupon? Yes I did. They sent me an email to inform me that the restaurant was experiencing some broken air cond problem and asked me if I want to postpone my appointment until they get the air cond fixed. And guess what, they sent me the notification email AFTER my appointment date! And they lied about the date of the air cond was broken! Hello! When I went there it was already broken! They messed with the wrong lady, so I replied their email and shoot them front and back, up and down. They replied me with an apologetic email and gave me 2 discount tokens! ^^ Hahaha! Talk about kiasu-ness.

Ok let's go back to the Japanese buffet. I didn't know they offer BBQ too, I thought it was just plain buffet and ala-carte. Alvin was having sore throat and coughing so we didn't have much BBQ that day =( Nonetheless I swept 5 plates of salmon, or maybe more XD

The salmon lover!

Alvin forcing me to finish the sushis =(

The sifu must be pissed with his wife that day. The handmade sushis are rock hard! I wonder how much strength he put to mold the rice! I think if I were to throw the sushi at someone, it will bounce back!

Sorry not much photos this time as I were too busy eating. Besides the rock hard sushi, everything else was nice! Even the ice-cream tasted different, soft like cotton and not too sweet. Alvin said it was Japanese ice-cream (no argument, since he went to Japan before ~__~ )

There were about 1500 vouchers bought for this deal. Hopefully they will have another promo as I'm hoping to go back again with such great deal!

p/s: because normal price is RM90 =___= 

Silence.

Everyone knows that I'm a noisy person. Everywhere I go people can hear my voice. I was dubbed as the chatter box back at high school. Even at college I still talked and laughed like nobody's business. I remember once I told my friend I was unhappy, instead of concerning, she said "I don't believe." T__T

But believe it or not, there are times I prefer to keep quiet and have a silent moment all by myself too, It's like my emo switch is turn on. A wall will be built with a signage hanging on it saying "Go away! Don't talk to me!" I will just stay at home, watch tv, paint my nails and chill. Instead of getting wasted at clubs or bars.

I don't understand why some people can't live on their own. They need to be surrounded by friends all the time. If they're left alone, it feels like they lost one arm. Do you know that you can only truly understand and find out about yourself when you're all alone? It's like self enlightenment. Usually people who MUST be with someone are immature, clueless and dependable. Whilst I can eat and go shopping alone. Seriously! I can! I'm a Capricorn ;) I don't like to deal with pettiness. When I go shopping with a large group of friends, I will either have to wait for them, can't go to shops that I want to go cos they don't want to or I feel bad spending too long in a shop while my friends wait for me. So I rather go solo or with a friend or 2, less people less pettiness.

And don't make me start about organizing a trip for a huge bunch of people! It's a nightmare! People always ask me why I always go trip just me and Alvin. I'm definitely not being anti social, but you try organizing a trip for 10! You'll scream and pull your hair so hard you go bald! But unfortunately my friends like to leave the organizing task to me. Double stress!

Recently I've been very quiet, prefer to stay mute in the office with my earphone on, listening to music or streaming ghost stories. People says when you have your earphone on, it's a sign to people that you don't want to be disturbed. It's a whole different story here, people still come over to talk to me! I don't want to talk! I like staying in the office during lunch hour to enjoy the peaceful and quiet moment too, plus I can lose weight and save money since I skip lunch or just eat biscuits from home.

Even the loudest person will have a moment they want to be quiet and observe the world.

"Silence is a true friend that never betrays."

Going lighter!

Nope, not my weight. In fact, I'm getting heavier =___= It's my hair color that is going lighter! Not as light as I wanted it to be, but I'm ok with the color. I got this hair coloring promo from Groupon again! RM98 for hair coloring, cut, wash and blow. Quite a catch, but after 2 days I bought this deal, another new promotion came out, only RM78. KNS!!!! *throw durian, papaya, watermelon*

The salon is located at the high end Hartamas area, right next to Mont Kiara. The salon is very pretty, unlike the other boring salon I always go. And all the staff in the salon are ladies! Pretty ladies! They all have nice hair and wear chic and fashionable outfit.

Oh! And guess who I met when I first stepped in to the salon. My ex lady boss! The scary lady boss from hell (literally). I used to work for 3 months in a publication company, I quit because I couldn't handle such diva! She is like the ultimate diva of all diva. She scolds people everything and anything! The toilet paper, the door, the phone, the files. She even throw money at waiters and files at a pregnant lady staff! OMFG!!!! She is horrible! And FYI, she was Mrs Malaysia. May God bless her pretty face and damn her ugly heart! As I stepped into the salon I heard a familiar voice, loud enough to be heard all across the salon =___= as usual. She is a bitch that screams "LOOK AT ME, I'M THE CENTER OF THE ATTENTION!" I quickly looked away while she walked pass me. Thank God the staff lead me to a seat discreet enough she didn't notice me. But I guess she won't remember me, that company's staffs come and go faster than I change my under garments =___=

I wasn't very impressed with the staff attitude at the beginning. I was 20 minutes earlier than my scheduled time. So I was left waiting on my seat. After waiting for 10 minutes I asked the staff attending the customer's next to me about how long I have to wait. She walked away without responding to me and came back to tell me I need to wait another half an hour with a very arrogant look on her face. I thought this is the kind of service they give to customers who come with Groupon voucher, since the salon is like some place for rich tais tais.

After half an hour, the arrogant staff came to attend me, I was like....shit, she is going to make me look like a piece of thud. But surprisingly, she smiled and served me with quite good manners. During the 3 hours process, we chatted a bit and got quite friendly. Therefore, first impression is important, but communication is even more important.

Not looking very attractive here.

Am I balding? O_o

Looked rather reddish in the photos since I took them during sunset. In real life it looks more blondish. I plan to curl my hair soon when my hair has grown to a suitable length. It has been years since I last curled my hair, 5 years ago? Can't wait!

The Power of Not Giving Up.

Life is a long journey, a path filled with obstacles and unpredictable weather. Sometimes the sun shines bright right above our head, blue sky with cotton candy clouds, birds chirping and butterflies fluttering. Sometimes there will be rain, thunder and storm. That is how we learn to grow and be a better person. A plain journey without any ups and downs are like an empty cup, you gain nothing.

I don't mind having obstacles in my life, it's tough when we're in the midst of it, but once it's over, we learn something new. It's just like fever, it sucks when  we are sick, but once it subsides, we will feel much better. And the best part is, I know my cup is not empty, it's half full.

Thanks Reuben for the premier tickets of the new movie, Real Steel. I thought it was just another robot fighting movie with computer graphics and actions. But it was more than that. It was about the power of will, hope and the strength of not giving up. No matter how small, how tough or how bad the situation is...as long as you have faith in your heart, there will always be a light in the dark.

And if your heart tells you something, follow it. Never give up on something if your heart tells you to keep fighting for it. Just like how I found my limited edition Burberry Cantley Confetti Heart tote! One year ago I fell in love with the bag, it was love at first sight. But since it is limited edition from the previous season, it was sold out everywhere. They even stopped producing it. I searched everywhere online, but all online boutiques said they no longer can get it at Europe. I even asked my friend to look for it at Burberry Singapore.

After 1 year, in the brink of giving up, I settled with another bag with a heavy heart, knowing that my heart is still yearning for the Burberry Cantley Confetti. And once a while I would still clicked the bag in Google just to look at it. And on one fateful night, like usual I saw the bag in Google and clicked it. My eyes popped, heart pounding and adrenaline rushing, I saw the bag and it was available!!! And coincidentally, the shop is the same shop I went to when I was at Penang earlier this year! I know the seller! Without 2nd thought, I called her at 11pm and immediately reserved it! The next day, I got the bag. After searching up and down, in and out for 1 year....I finally found you. It was like we were meant to be and destined to find each other...

It was love at first sight.
