hello again!

Oh hi there! Come have a cuppa tea while I explained my absence from here. 

I am back from Sydney 2 weeks (or rather going into 3 weeks now) ago and it was a GREAT GREAT trip! Thing that I didn't get to blog not because I didn't had internet nor that I didn't have any thing to blog on, but I'm just dead tired everyday we reached home. (We bunked in with Chewy's cousin) 

I'll update on that another day. But for now I've been in school for almost 2 weeks! School was busier than ever. Had to do up a draft within first week for a A3 poster. Met lots of wonderful people in school, hope that we'll all get along well! 

That's all for now. (I'm really tired) 

I've got more NARS!

Hello there people! Much things have happened in the past week. I bought a new coat for my Australia trip this coming Friday! ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

Also, had been really busy like a bee rushing here and there for school stuff. Hoping that the new classmates would be nice ppl. (>_<)

Baked a cake on Thursday and it turned out like a disaster. Maybe I shall just stick to the old recipe with the baking powder. （ ｉ _ ｉ ）Learnt a lesson that egg separators are not helpful at all. Egg shells are still the best! ;(

And finally Chewy's mum ( auntie Foong Chun) is back! I've missed her so much. She also bought back the NARS products that I've always wanted since I was back from my hong kong trip! Wheee~ *fireworks*
･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･

Apparently they only carry it in Hong Kong, Japan and some other countries but not Singapore. But I've heard that they will be bringing them into Singapore by Tangs in October. Lovely!

Got to go! Tell me what are your pfavorite shades from NARS too! :D

Blogging from iPad

Aloha people! Although school haven't start for me yet and I'm free like a bird for now, I admit that I'm just too lazy to log in and blog from my laptop.

There hasn't been much things going on this week, just me getting a touch up on my hair color and the getting a new iPad for usage on the move.

Hope that I'll be able to blog more when I'm in Australia and not drag the posts like the one from China.

Cya people!

Project 10 Pan; May 2012

Aloha everyone! A very good afternoon to you. Just finished the Japanese homework, but I actually cheated on the last part and gave up. -defeated- ―(T_T)→

Anyway, I spent my whole night reading through this blog , it's totally AWESOME! I just got hooked on and couldn't stop. But the thing that really caught my attention was 'Project 10 Pan'. 

What is Project 10 Pan? 

It's actually a project created by lollipop26 a make up guru on Youtube whereby you try to finish 10 things that you have chosen before you buy new ones. I guess it's pretty wonderful since there are tons & tons of cosmetics that I can't finish and a lot of new ones waiting for me to try them on, I felt that this would be a good chance to finish them once and for all! However, I realised that it would be a little pity to finish the limited edition items since you won't be able to get them any more.   

So here's my share! 

For this month I have chosen;

Majolica Majorca's Skin Remaker Pore Cover in OC10 (Ochre 10) 50% left

Majolica Majorca's Perfect Automatic Liner in BK920 (Matte Black) 50% left

Majolica Majorca's Puff de Cheeks in PK301 (Pink) 70% left

Majolica Majorca's Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara in BK999 (Black) 30% left

Kate Diamond Cut Eyes in BR-1 (Brown) 85% left

Kate High Coverage Pressed Powder in Natural Beige 70% left

Kate Designing Eyebrows N in EX-4 30% left

Canmake Maxi Volume lipstick in 22 (Orangey-pink) 10% left

Dolly Wink Eyelash Fix in Pink (Transparent) 30% left

Baviphat Magic BB Cream 10% left

I hope that I'll keep to this and never spur on anything else before they finishes! -cross fingers- p(*＾-＾*)q

Birthday Cupcake + Mini Cosmetics Haul

I got this for free while dining at Carousel for Sunday lunch with Chewy and his family. The cupcake was huge but meh, the taste is D: oh well, it's still a complimentary gift from them though! I really love Carousel everything I go there. The first time I went there was during last year's Christmas, where they had the Christmas platter was totally great. And what's more, they have chocolate fondue in White, milk and dark chocolate which I would never miss! 

Was doing a little shopping (I have been like staying at home everyday since graduation) and came across these at a really really low price. :D Sasa sells them like $8.90/pc (if I remember correctly). The eyeshadow is good but it won't be able to last throughout the day though.

http://www.dobest.co.jp/products/list.php?category_id=220 This is their website and you can take a look! :D I just realised they come from the same company as AC cosmetics. :3

That's all for now! Ta-ta!

I finally graduated!

Yay! I finally graduated from school! :D -clapclap-

I never thought I will (with all the stressful projects and assignments that were given in between the exams and blah blah blah...) I finally made it! 

I was really disappointed at Chewy cause' he didn't come to my graduation at the last minute to rush his projects. -Sigh- On the other hand, I've the first bouquet of flowers from the very sweet girl below. :D

(Thank you Miao Miao!) She was there too for Alwyn's graduation (which was in the same session as me) 

With Cavvy, my illustration teacher.

With Laura! 

Our group photo! We actually had one with everyone in it, but it wasn't sent to me yet. (Guess it's still in Gerald's mum phone) 

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 6. (Goodbye Hong Kong)

This is the final part of my posts on my Hong Kong trip in March. Next up would be the ones on China. (However, I foresee myself to be super busy this week due to graduation ceremony (yes, finally!), being Gmaine's canvas for her makeup test & exam.) My last few hours in Hong Kong was spent eating & eating as I won't be able to have food again in another 6 hours until I board the plane and till they serve me dinner. 

Kaya & me were busying enjoying our food and I almost missed my shuttle bus to the airport. *PHEW*

Anyway, we went to the Dai Ka Lok (which literally translates to 'Everyone Happy') for late breakfast. It's something like Mei Xim which serves authentic Chinese food in fast food restaurant manner. I was telling Kaya how great it would be if they were to bring the concept into Singapore. 

The one we went to was a block away from our hotel Metropark Kowloon. (Really convenient place to stay in, take my words)

BUT, the main star is the Chee Chong Fun which is Michelin awarded. I can't remember clearly how much stars it was awarded but it should be 3 star (if I'm not wrong!).  

Look how yummy! *drools*

And also, they were really famous for their carrot cake. Which is really soft and fluffy and melts the moment you place it in your mouth.

And our breakfast! The top one being mine and the other one being Kaya's.

Oh, this was the breakfast from the day before. I was too lazy to go around my hotel's area to search for food and called the delivery. It was totally YUMMY-LICIOUS!

And these were the items that bought me on an adventure all the way to Hong Kong's new territorial. I had to travel back and froth for 3 hours to collect the Mac Kitchen lipstick from Tuen Mun Centre. Unable to speak Cantonese, I was totally lost the moment I came out of the station. Luckily there were 2 really nice guys which brought me all the way to MAC's shop front and then went off. They were so FRIENDLY. Thank god, if not I might never be able to get the limited ed lipstick. And seriously, the Tuen Mun Centre was located way behind an overhead bridge which is REALLY DARK in the night. T_T 

Good gracious me! I've been a brave girl for travelling so far alone! 

Toodles people! :D

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 5. (Dimsum)

Just tons of Dim Sum that we ate with Kaya's friends at a local restaurant. Her friends were super nice and brought me to places like the Victoria Harbour via the internal ferry and places that I've never planned to visit. Love em! :D 

Oh yeah, the food shown were;

Siew Mai, Lotus Leaf Rice, Pork Ribs, Char Siew Bao, Custard Bun. 

They're already making me very hungry! 

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 4. (Hong Kong, Kowloon)

Langham place was actually quite near the place I stayed. I get to know the area well by the third or fourth day I was there. Reason was that I was roaming around in circles and eventually found my way around that place. 

They have all the high end brands such as Nars, Mac (cosmetics), H&M, Jill Stuart and others right inside the shopping centre. 

I ended up in Causeway bay during one of my tram rides around the town. This place is totally like our Orchard road ( + Sommerset and Plaza Sing)

On top of my favourite tram! Really love these transport system. It's like a personal place for you to reflect and look back on life. 

MEOW. RILAKKUMA GACHAPONS. :D <3

Koala Milk Buns. Yeah, they wasn't from Hong Kong and they are also sold in Singapore but I totally love them. It helps me not miss home so much. ;'( (and especially my Chewy...)

From one of the famous Char Chan Teng in Wanchai! :D all for $8SGD. I was crazily shopping among the street market and bought like $30SGD worth of stickers and stuffs and asked the shop owner for directions.  The moment he looked at me he knew that I was already searching for this superb place! 

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 3. (Hong Kong, Kowloon)

We arrived in the evening in Hong Kong main island. Things turned out to be super unpredicted. First I was talking in the Hotel lobby with a Filipino tourist and missed our shuttle bus to the ferry station :( In the end we had to take a cab down to the ferry station (and luckily we did, imagine carrying 15+kg of luggages per person up the stairs) 

Our luggages were huge and had to be moved onto the ferry by ourselves. And getting off the ferry was worst. There were lots of people rushing out of there and their staffs wouldn't help you out even if they saw you having difficulties. I left the ferry earlier (so I wont be blocking the other passengers collecting their stuffs ), cleared the customs and waited for Kaya outside. 

To my horror, the staffs from Turbo Jet came running after me (I thought I violated some customs laws or what) and told me that Kaya injured herself. I thought it was just a small injury and realised that she broke her toe nail along the bridge on the ferry.

I remembered that I was telling her how the plank was unstable and moving when we first went to Macau. D: 

It was a terrible and she had to be sent to the hospital while I got an 'VIP' service where one of the staffs from Turbo Jet sent me to the Hotel in a Taxi. The taxi uncle even jokingly asking who I was when he saw the kind of service I've got. 

Was searching around the place where we stayed for a clinic where Kaya can clean her wound. I was wondering around the area and 'accidentally' stumbled into the famous Fa Yuen Street where they sell super cheap items. 

And this is Kaya in her Kitty specs.

I cleared like every body's souvenirs just by walking along the street. :D  

Was searching for something in Mongkok and this shop just kept appearing. Its like 2 or 3 shops along one street! :D 

AND YES! THIS WAS RILAKKUMA LAND IN Arglye centre, mongkok! :D MEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~

Oh-oh! And I tried this when I saw Kaya eating it. At first I was a little afraid that I might get tummy upset (since my stomach had always been super weak). So I just tried one of the squid and it was YUM-YUM! o(^O^ )o and you can even choose the kind of sauce that you want. 

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 2. (Macau)

Went to Fisherman's wharf, love the buildings around there! They were so European style and it felt like being teleported back into time. A after tea would really be nice here... (oh life...)

Right outside Macau Town Square! There were tons of tourists like us admiring the beautiful buildings all around. 

And with Kaya buying her almond biscuits. I have to say, Macau still have the best Almond biscuits! 

Hong Kong Trip; March 2012 Pt 1. (Macau)

Hello everyone, I'm finally back! No-no, I didn't visit Hong Kong for a month or what, just that I was totally busy and tied down with stuffs from school ( yeah, even when I have graduated) and also busy preparing the stuffs for Uni's application. -Phew- 

This March we (Kaya & Me) went to Macau and Hong Kong mainland for 9 days! D: Good gracious me! The first few days was fun, fun, fun & fun, then it was boring, boring, bored. :( Maybe I was there for too long and was missing the people at home too much. 

Anyway here comes the part on Macau! 

We went out straight the moment we checked in the hotel in Macau. Er, actually we didn't really stayed in Macau, we stayed in Taipa which was a few bus stops and a bridge away. Was totally excited when we came out at night for dinner at the Taipa town square! :D 

Was walking down the streets and saw this store! Yay! Rilakkuma Madness for the win! ;) Oh, the signboards on most shops (or rather all!) was in Protroguese. 

Totally love the mail box! A total fusion of western (body of mailbox) and eastern (the Chinese roof) mixture. 

Along the streets of Taipa Square. 

Where we had our Protroguese cusine for dinner. Totally love how the place was built. It felt that we were on some streets in a European country. 

We tried the famous Pork Cutlet Bun here! 

And ta-da! How its looked like. It's like er, one piece of pork on buns. -.- and then add a lot of oil and there you go... 

Oh well, I'll just stop here. 

10 items that I don't have

Aloha everyone! This is me with the super messy hair! I am now still in Hong Kong, so I have come up with this  to entertain those who read my blog. 

10 items that I do not have at home! :D (Ok, this may sound 'so what' right, but all I could say that my family is really traditional so I do not have most of the items that you guys would think that its a must to have it)

Here it comes: 

1. A microwave oven. My uncle said that it's bad to eat radiated food, so we don't have any. So there goes my microwave crafts.
2. A deep fryer. My grandma had one at her house. But my aunt prefers to fry food using the wok.
3. Coffee Maker. This goes to the normal ones, not even the espresso kind. When  my granddad was around he cooked them with kettle over the fire. 
4. Toaster. Yeah, we dont have one. We toast it with the oven toaster. 
5. Grill. Just don't have one.
6. Electrical stove. 
7. DVD player, who needs these when you have a laptop/desktop.
8. Air conditioner, meh.
9. Dryer. Clothes dryer I meant. 
10. Double boiler. We used to have it, but it's spoiled.

I realised everything here are electrical appliances. Oh well... 

Product Review: Canmake Mashmellow Powder

This came from part of the gift from Chewy for our 6th Monthsary! Wheee! (I chose my own gifts though)

The Canmake Mashmellow Powder! Wahahha.. I didn't read any review or any recommendation before I bought it. (Like I usually do) I went to the Canmake counter and took a little swatch off its tester and I immediately fell in ❤ love with it. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ Its so fuwa-fuwa (soft soft)! 

Like its name suggested, it is a finishing powder which you add on after ur makeup/ during the day to maintain your makeup. It also state on the packaging that it can be removed with any normal cleanser. There are also moisturising agents which prevents the skin from drying out.

The inside of the finishing powder. It isn't as glamourous as the outside but still cute. I am not too sure if there's any smell as I am currently down with a bocked nose. =x

The sides of the case. Really pretty and elegant right? 

 And the oustide of the case. So pretty much! (and yeah ignore the tv reflection on the case)
