make up stuff

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:01:33 GMT

these days I've been making various bargain purchases of make up and nice toiletries etc... and honestly speaking, some great, some not so great.

firstly, the heated eyelash curler - it's ok, a bit overrated and I'm not sure I'd be permanently using this. Tried it last night, it wasn't working for a while, and then I figured the problem, the battery lol
Anyways, it's ok, it curls it nice, not sure how long it can make the curl last.

some other toiletries etc were really nice, like bath gift packs etc I'm planning on giving them to my colleagues as chrissy presents anyways, so that's super cool.

i want to get a good mascara, that will give me volume, the recent one i got from clinique is just length, which I have plenty of (for an asian anyways)

ok, really not in the mood to blog now, except i want to catch up with liz and vic...

biatches, if you see this, work something out with me asap so we can catch up!!!

my sis's friend, H, has been coming over quite often to help my sis with her make up and she's got this awesome heated eyelash curler, that I never knew existed, but am quite keen to be a (soon-to-be) proud owner... looking at getting the Manicare Heated Lash Curler

Will hopefully get it in the mail soonish (bought online from another voguette), hope it's a good one, not many reviews on it online.

to go or not to go...

I want to go shopping tonight, I want to go with S but since my sis is going out tonight, it's highly possible that she's going shopping with her bf for her new job and they'll bump into us and I'll be in trouble.

Speaking of which, I have learnt in the last couple of weeks that when you start a new job, you need to acquire the following things:

make up - lots of it, and pretty much get a professional to tell you what is needed to suit your face, skin colour, etc, then please proceed to eBay, SN, sasa, etc with your super long list to purchase all those things needed... make sure you cross off what you've bought so you know what you've got and what you still need.
clothes - like 2 new suits, and lots of business shirts, lots of skirts, jackets, etc
and while buying all those essential items, you will stumble across dresses, cocktail dresses, shoes, sandals, t shirts, scarves, etc that are really cheap and just a bargain buy you can't resist and hand them over to your bf to pay for
shoes - you will need to look high and low for shoes that are suitable for work and pick up a pair of dressy heels, since it suits that cocktail dress you stumbled across and bought.

and who pays the bill?
Of course the boyfriend does.
(his credit card details are permanently saved in her shopping accounts, etc)

I was telling mum how ridiculous I found her shopping adventures to be lately, it's like she is the only person that has a new job and she needs to buy a whole new wardrobe just to make it to work, and she hasn't even started.

I made it clear that if it wasn't for her bf paying all the stuff that she's buying, etc, as well as chaufeuring her to whereever she wants to shop at, she wouldn't have been able to buy all those essential items!

Mum totally agreed with me.

I even compared and told her how I've been wearing practically the same work clothes for the past 3 years, starting off with only 1 business shirt, 2 skirts and 1 pair of corporate looking pants/slacks and 1 pair of heels. That was it, and slowly, I built my corporate wardrobe over 3 years. I survived fine. My first suit was after a year and a bit when I knew I desperately needed one, because I was attending so many external meetings and my simple corporate outfits weren't going to make it.
My first meeting (in Brisbane with DoHA members) that required a suit, I wore some crappy jacket and matched a similar skirt. It was pretty dodgy.

I am in true disbelief that my sister will not survive her first job if she doesn't have all the stuff she is currently buying.

I assure you, if he wasn't here, she would be so much simplier, satisfied and a less arrogant person.

I guess I have come to the recent conclusion that my sister is a bitch because she has a bf that supports her in every single way, including spending his money like there's no tmr.

If it was up to her to decide what she can spend or can't, she'll be just like me, skimping and just relying on the bare basics.

END OF RANT!

Btw, I want to get some new nail polish =)

had the best dinner in a long time, had dominos pizza with S last night, except for rushing home and not having enough cheesy garlic bread, I had fun last night!

Supreme pizza (large) + my beloved cheesy garlic bread

sick of working

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:34:55 GMT

I'm officially sick of working today, no motivation what-so-ever, I just want to go shopping or have fish and chips at the beach/wharf (Brighton-Le-Sands is a good option)

wanted to actually jig work with S and go bum, particularly on such a beautiful day, but he is a good boy, didn't want to =(

Anyways, a tad hungry, will munch on some Lindt chocolate now =)

is so fricken annoying!

feeling good

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:07:53 GMT

I have noticed a silly but annoying trend in my blog, I seem to always have rather depressing thoughts etc.. I feel like I'm some troubled kid, but anyways, a blog is one of the places I use to express my feelings etc...

Alright, so, I've started not using any make up whatsoever when I'm at work and going out now, I feel that confident that my skin is good.

Well, it's not that nice just yet, and there is some scarring on my face but a vast improvement from its previous state (i.e. march 2009) looking back at the pics from lily and my trip to alice springs, I'm surprised she didn't get scared of looking at me lol

Hoping to further improve it, thinking of laser surgery to remove all light discolouration now, but will see, I'm quite scared to undergo it without much encouragement from mum, she makes it sound like it's going to ruin my face, and that's exactly what she said abt me taking the pill to control my pimples...

tada, so long!

Jonah's sugar hit was awesome

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:01:22 GMT

The Jonah's sugar hit was awesome, literally the best one by far (closely after the Sheraton on the Park one I went to in 2003)

Here are the ones we had:

Complimentary petite fours/ chocolates

Jonah's signature dessert, vanilla panna cotta with pomegranate molasses and lavender honey

Caramelised pineapple and passionfruit cr�me brulee napoleon

Strawberry, mascarpone and brioche pain perdu, sable biscuit stack with fresh strawberry and vanilla cream, dried strawberry, ricotta cheese and pistachio filled cannoli

Orange laced chocolate mousse, cocoa meringue, mocha rum sauce and chocolate brownie cake

Had such a good time there! Definitely going again!!!
