As you guys can see, my layout has changed quite a bit.

Did some slight mistakes therefore all my links are gone T.T

Still under construction, therefore it looks weird, to me atleast hehe..

Hopefully everything can be done by tomorrow.

We Are the World 25 for Haiti

So yesterday me and boyfie were listening to songs cos he downloaded a few and we came across We Are the World 25 for Haiti sang by various artists. The very first time I heard it. I fell in love with it! Love at first listen. :')



Here's the video. Well, be patient, the song will start after Jamie Foxx's commentary.

I love the way they sing, their voices being layed out after each other and the different genres of music jumbled up together in this song. I mean, never knew Josh Groban could sing a song with Lil-Wayne while keeping their style and the end result still comes out nice.

I'm no song expert but this one sounds really good to me. Touched my heart, hope it touches yours too. :')


Lyrics:

We Are The World 25 For Haiti

[Justin Bieber]
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
[Nicole Scherzinger & Jennifer Hudson]
When the world must come together as one
[Jennifer Hudson]
There are people dying
[Jennifer Nettles]
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
[Josh Groban]
We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
[Tony Bennet]
that someone, somehow will soon make a change
[Mary J Blige]
We are all a part of
God’s great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
[Michael Jackson]
We are the world
We are the children
[Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson]
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Barbra Streisand]
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

[Miley Cyrus]
Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
[Enrique Iglesias]
so their cries for help
will not be in vain

[Michael Jackson]
When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
[Usher]
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
[Celine Dion]
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
[Fergie]
When we stand together as one

[Chorus - All]
We are the world
We are the children

[Jamie Foxx imitating Ray Charles]
Choice were making
saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

[Rapping - LL Cool J, Will-I-Am, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz]
We all need somebody that we can lean on
when you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
when the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along

[Wyclef]
CABARETT

[Chorus - All]

[Kanye West]
Everyday citizens
everybody pitching in

[Singing - Children & Wyclef Jean]
Nou se mond la

[Will-I-Am]
You and I
You and I
[Kanye West]
Uh, 12 days no water
whats your will to live?
[Will-I-Am]
we amplified the love we watching multiply
[Kanye West]
Feeling like the Worlds end
we can make the World win
[Will-I-Am]
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia
and now Haiti needs us, the need us, they need us

[Chorus - All]

[Wyclef Jean]

[Chorus - All]
[Wyclef Jean]
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha
[End]

F it [ :( +11 ]

I never really liked or used the 3 letters "FML" because I don't like if anything 'F's my life or admit that my life is 'F'ed or want 'F' to have any connection with my 'L'.

But the first half of today is very 'F'ed up and I am so the very moody I want to cry but I don't think it's worth crying so I come here to express my "downNess" :(

I woke up early to type a very optimistic text, but didn't have a reply after a few hours so I went back to sleep.
When I woke up still no reply to my optimism. So I re-texted with still a very optimistic mood and got a reply. Yay!
I realised that other people are dealing with their responsibilities and do not have much time like me to wait around and waste time thinking of unnecessary crap or needing unnecessary attention. Seriously! I should go on holiday somewhere.. Being bored to death like this makes me feel like a baby. [ :( +1 ]
Though I was smiling, my mind just sensed that I shouldn't be smiling because nomatter how positive I am, if my luck were negative, I would totally be dragged with it.

And then the moment of truth came. I was starving by 12pm [ :( +1 ] and needed a lunch date because there is completely nothing to eat at home. Boyfie had a work lunch so I totally didn't want to bother him. Sharon's in NZ, Aure's in KL, Jiun's in Miri, Xian, MH and Kim are in various parts of Msia, and Steph is already having lunch [ :( +1 ]. I really wanted to go fml but noooO~~ I kept my hopes up and waited for my trusty little brother to accompany me.

Turned out he had plans right after school [ :( +2 ] so AhhhHHH F it.. Hunger made me tired and miserable and I really just wanted to fill up my tummy and change my busted new contact lense today, so I went to McD alone with a book I borrowed from Ade [ :( +1 ]. Aaron was around 3rd mile so he met up with me and chat over lunch.

Half way through lunch my stomach hurt like wtf painful as hell [ :( +1 ]. Ditched Aaron half way to go to the toilet wtf. Didn't finish my Coke tho I could have. But it's just so disgusting to drink while you're pooping right? So.. T.T [ :( +1 ]
Half way pooping I realised I didn't put parking coupon [ :( +1 ] and was hoping there were no parking attendants at that hour. But I really didn't mind going all the way to MBKS to pay RM5 anymore cos I was already in emofml mode.

Thank goodness though, my car didn't get a ticket. [ :( -1 ]

Went to hopoh ALONe and came back Alone and am typing this shit feeling so ALONE. [ :( +3 ]

I hate to feel alone. swt. Going to sleep now and hopefully The next half of today would be a hundred times better. PLEASE DON'T RAIN.

Still debating whether to go fml.

Ah, F it.

Good night.

:( = +11

Chinese New Year 2010

Ughh.. I am so sad.

I feel as if sometimes, I neglect my blog and take it for granted much. swt.

Feels as if blogging has become a seasonal thing and seems like I CAN really be TOO BUSY to blog! :/ wth, I'm on holidays and still to busy.. tsk! I too have no idea what I have been spending my time on but really, 24 hours ain't enough man~

Anyway, Imma start making excuses for myself so hopefully ya'll understand and not think I am abandoning this blog and still come back once in a while wtf

First of all,





















I really wanted to do this post earlier but I was in Sibu, and at my elder's houses where no teenagers exist, internet didn't either.. T.T

So my occasional Facebook and Twittering the first few days of CNY was done with my trusty iPhone. :)~ Don't really dare to check my bill now tho. I know I used alot, thank goodness it didn't go over the credit limit T.T

Anyway, yeah, after like 3 years of spending CNY in Kuching? My family finally decided to go back to our little home town, Sibu...















Packing up.. Brought TuTu with me~

I was pretty excited to go back. I do miss my family.. And I wasn't dreading Sibu because I knew this time.. I had friends there. :)




















CNY eve, we went to do some last minute shopping for my little brother. Xiao Jiun was such a sweet heart. She came out and accompanied us all the way. Haha. This shopping partner sure lives up to her title. Oh, was so coincidental that we both wore blue that day hehe.




















Playing around with Henry's semi-pro cam..















Reminisinc on the old days...

The front lawn looked much bigger back then.. I must have grown a lot since.

Tuan Yuan Fan:















A Chinese tradition where all members of the family come together and eat a big meal to welcome the new year...















Kids went to play firecrackers after dinner... or was this before.. hmm~ haha nvm















Cousin digging thru the fire crackers















Oranges is a must on CNY:



































Grandmas collections :)















This is what I have with me everynight:















Laptop, TuTu and Brother accompanying me while watching a movie from my harddisk. Hehe.















Laptop without the internet really was kinda weird.. But thank goodness I bought the harddisk so I was well equiped with movies to kill the boredom.

Oh. this was my room at my aunt's place. It's such a luxury, I had my own toilet! That was by far the best thing that happened to me.. I could take my time bathing, pooping, makeup and all. And there was no one to bother me, except for one morning at 5am smthn, my stupid bro managed to lock everyone outta the upstairs general toilet..and so parents came knocking at my door in the wee hours of the morning just to use MY toilet! grar!

Damn how I wish I had my own toilet now. Could clear my own mess and no one else's. No need to frown at weird droplets of yellowish water on the toilet bowl, or cringe at cold wet bathroom floors.
Agghh... I wanna finish studying quick, earn loads of money and buy my own apartment! >_<. Yesh, I like the feeling of being alone. Peace, is what a Snake loves.. says some online Zodiac thingy. >_<.

Ok, the day finally came! CNY!!!!!!!!! and Valentines




















Daniel and I on the first day of CNY. After mass.

Went to visit mum's side grandparents in the evening:




















My little cousin Michelle was there! She was so adorable.. She kept wanting to take pictures with me on my iPhone.. then later she realised she can zoom pics with 2 fingers.. So she kept pressing and pulling on the screen of my phone that I had to trick her into thinking there was no battery left swt.















Old old grand parents.. Still quite healthy tho :)

Obviously, I picked family over lover this CNY&Valentines. Hate having to choose. Daphne does not like CNY and Valentines combo! I'm sure restaurant business people won't like it too! Everyone wants to grab the Valentines opportunity to serve the best romantic meal for couples on the cost of having to work on the first day of CNY. how awful is that! roar! I really missed Hen then T.T No romantic Valentines, No romantic Birthday, No romantic New Year's Eve. /.\ I guess this isn't a year of celebrations ehy?

Anyway, Nights in Sibu would have sucked so bad and I would have ran outta movies if it weren't for these great people here:




















Xiao Jiun, Ah Wei and Victor! and another guy who's not in the pic, Teck Wee! They were awesome, especially Jiun, Bringing me out EVERY SINGLE NIGHT without fail :)) Awesome. Sibu became way more fun than I expected it to be..




















That's when I realised anywhere could be a great place to be, whether it is a metropolitan, or just a tiny village, as long as there are friends, I could bear to be anywhere, it could even be fun! :)















The famous Sanyang.. Tallest building in Sibu? lol.

And the carpark was interesting, Cars of all sorts went over there to chill, play music, kids would talk and it was really relaxing :)

I found peace :')

wth















Cool? Haha.. 2 Hilux and 2 hot chics wTF.

Before I knew it 4 days had passed just like that, I also visited some Sibu friends from Swinburne, which was pretty cool.. Got to see all their houses.. Mmm! hehe...




















Some cool Black Label container at Jerome's house.

Headed back to Kuching on the 3rd day of CNY, ate Kompiah at Sarekei!















Awesome stuff I tell you.

No where else make better Kompiah's than Sibu's.

Got back to Kuching and met up with.. Friends from Green Road! :D















Our annual picture at Kenny's house lol. Love this pic. Thanks Kenny! We MUST MUST MUST take this every year OK?!

Also visited a couple of other friends and ofcourse my BFFEEEEE (Best Friend Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever and Ever and Ever)! Sharon Tang! *heart you a million*! I can't believe we didn't remmeber to take pics together this year! wad the fark. T.T

Oh wait, there is this pic from one night before CNy...




















Haha! one and only "Postable" pic. Damn my eyes are so scary.

Oh. These contacts Maxi Eyes are really uncomfortable for me! They do make your eyes look bigger, the colour is pretty awesome, BUT! I think the water content is too high for me (55%) and the lense is too thin and soft, so, it kept running around in my eye which was utterly uncomfortable!
Sharon got the same pair too, it ran around alot in her eyes at first too but she later got used to it. So, be awared! If you buy it :)

Did my nails when I was in Kuching myself:

















Had fun doing it.. hehe. Inspired by Jaq's nails which she did at DAPHNE's at 3rd mile. Nooo! It's not my shop, but it shares the same name as me T.T Her's was painted on and really beautiful. But RM80 for 10 nails I think, not sure if it was inclusive of toes.




















Mine was the simple home DIY style. The toned base coat was done like this:
1) Apply a transparent basecoat
2) While the basecoat is still wet, Apply a layer of your favourite pink colour starting from one third of your nail over the transparent basecoat. THis makes a semi transparent pink colour
3) When the single layer of pink is semi-dry, apply the same pink colour once(or twice) again on the two third section of the nail. This makes a more solid colour.
Now, you can see as if the colour is blended.
It's time to stick on whatever flowers or butterflies or shiny stuff on your nails for extra BLINGage ;)
Remember the triangle rule tho! Never line patterns in straight order, always scatter them around like the 3 tips of a triangle for a more lively design.
4) FInally, apply a transparent top coat to secure the stickers and BLINGage. You can also apply a top coat after step 3 dries. The top coat can be an extra blending medium for the coolour tones.

Hope you all enjoyed my tutorial.

Lol, watched too much Michelle Phan.

Anyway, hehe.. how the nails look from far:




































I love this pic cos I think it's sweet blerh.

Okay, that's how my Chinese New Year was before everyone went back to their respective "Study-locations" to continue their uni/work. :\

Kuching is once again dull.

Ending this post with a pic of Jaq's dog:















Haha.. funny looking thing, It kinda looks like the female lion dance.

-end-

Roar!

Hello All!

Happy Chinese New Year and Valentines Day from Sibu!!

Honestly, I don't really like the combination of these two celebrations because it makes you CHOOSe between your family and boyfriend/girlfriend. Gah~ Owells, we all know which is more important in the end. :\

Having quite a bearable time in Sibu. THank goodness to Jiun who's bringing me out everyday. And also Sharon and Judy and the rest tho I haven't met them yet. Wish I could drive here! Don't think Gramps wanna lend me their new car tho.. heh.

Why it won't be bearable without these buddies is because, there is no internet at my aunt's house, elders don't like to use aircond so I am constantly pespirating here, there are no nice malls here (lyke seriously!), AND!!! not much cousins are back this year :((

But still, it's nice to see these elders that I haven't seen in a long time. They are so nice and 'ke qi'... Reminiscing on those days when I was way younger and we have aunts and uncles and 20 over cousins crowding in my gradmas house.. eating buffet, the chit-chatting, playing firecrackers and, gambling, drinking and all.. hmmm.. MisssSS!! :/

Anyway, have fun visiting and collecting ang paus! :D

Update when I get back to Kuching again.

Have a great year ahead!

"世界上没有丑的女人, 只有懒惰的女人"

"世界上没有丑的女人, 只有懒惰的女人" ("There are no ugly girls in the world, only lazy ones")

I don't know where this quote came from, but I think it is totally true!

Any girl with a proportianate face can look beautiful. Seriously! All we need is grooming.

All those actresses, models, popular girls at school, pretty pictures of girls you see on facebook, beautiful girls you see in shopping malls and so on, are just any other ordinary girl which are 'made up' to look strikingly beautiful that they just grab your attention for a split second, or more.

Okay, some people may not need to dress up or make up much because of "natural beauty", but guys, I am so sorry to say that, not all girls have it.

Most girls are cursed with pimples, scars, blemish, dark eye bags, pores, uneven skintone, extra hairs on unwanted areas of the face, maybe a little noticable difference in the size of their eyes, and uneven shape of corners of the lips and the list goes on.... But that doesn't mean we have to just totally accept that and live with the sad curse.

Makeup and grooming, can do wonders.

Though, still a minority of guys (and maybe girls) would still go like, "Oh, I hate makeup, I love naturally beautiful girls, those that makeup are really actually really ugly, I can't bear to know how they would look like without it, what's with all that trouble, waste of money..........." bla bla bla... Telling girls what they think about all of that..
At the end of day, they stare at pictures of celeberties and girls in magazines, and even well polished girls on the street, and admit they are beautiful. wtf. I don't think I should label them with a word, but, yeah..

Okay, also, maybe not all girls are pro at these makeup and grooming stuff, making ourselves look weird with all of that hard work, heck, even I am still learning and so not totally good at it yet, BUT we are learning right? It takes lotsa practice and time and effort and it is actually so totally worth it.
Ever watch The Devil Wears Prada? House Bunny? erm or any other chick flick or non-chick flick movie that has a girl looking all simple or nerdy, then just dressing up a bit to shine and then become successful? Yeah, all that work does change our lives.

Okay, in my case, I was really haha unattractive when I was younger (not saying that I am very attractive now) But now I bet is way better than before! >_<.







This is in Form one, 7 or 8 years back. Okay, laugh all you want. I never thought it would appear again.

Unshapped brows, pimple infested face, unkept hair, dark thin framed specs (whytf did I ever get those specs?!), and, sloppy posture T.T

I liked a guy in Form one but I think he never even gave a second thought about me and I don't blame him T.T I was also freggin' shy then because I was unconfident and all. Always walked to school loooking at the ground. Didn't dare to look into anyone's eyes when talking and all. Didn't have many friends because of the lack of confidence.... I was so sad >_<.

And after years of learning and grooming, and discussing with girl friends on beauty tips and Youtube videos on how to makeup and DIY facial stuff... Oh, I promote Michelle Phan. She is just so awesome.













I looked more er.. lookable than I did back then. I cured the pimples, covered the blemish, evened the skin tone with BB cream/foundation, did my hair, plucked my brows. That's about it.

My er, smile, still hasn't changed tho. Haha. But nevermind.

Atleast I am more confident now, have alot more activities, friends, boyfriend, and dared to take narcissistic pictures of myself.

Therefore, all it needed to be acceptable was 'work' T.T

There are more pictures out there that I bet you all have seen of celebs with before and after makeup right right?? yeah.. that tells ya how much one can transform with the right grooming.

Like they all said, this is a rather superficial world, and we get judged on how we look on the outside more often than on the inside.

So, I really encourage girls to not be lazy, and change your lives.



However, all of this is kinda really taking it's toll on me T.T

Everyday, we have to wash out face, wash our hair, brush our teeth, wear the contacts, put on foundation, sunblock, toner, moisturizer, remove makeup, repeat the toner and moisturizer before bed.

Every week we have to exfoliate our skin, put on masks, polish our nails, pluck out armpit hairs, shape the eyebrows, for some people, shave their legs which I am so blessed because I don't have to do it. and, exercise.

Every few months we have to visit the hair saloon.

Every year we have to go to the dentist, go for checkups and the gynae T.T
Oh, and shopping! Which may apply more frequently to others >_<. *confess


On special occasions like parties, dinners and social occasions, we gotta set our hair, apply different types of makeup which have to learn throughout our every year, pick our best outfit (which is havoc I tell u!!)


See all that hard work. T.T

That is where natural beauty come in handy, atleast we can cut down on some areas.

Owells.

That's life for the average girl ehy?

But I still love life this way.

It trains Discipline.

(which is why presentable people are more accepted as well, because it shows that you have discipline to take care of yourself at the same time do other work........................ it's a whole new topic :o)

Damai 02.2010

Yeap, it's Damai once again, it's kinda like one of the only few places that is easily accesible for kids in Kuching for a retreat from the "city" life. >_<.

So we went up on Saturday afternoon in happy and excited moods. Though, there were several rocks along the way. I mean problems. Haha. First one of our friend's car broke down. Then, the travel agent made a mistake and booked our rooms in June. HAHAHA~

But all went well after solving those little glitches.















On the way down in the car, I saw a.. VOLCANO! which is green, and doesnt have a hole in the middle, without steam or wadeva... Ok ok cut the crap, it's just a thick cloud on the mountain. BeautifulNess *heart*















The main thing I was looking forward to in this trip was actually the following morning. I was soooo determined to wake up early, bath, dress up for a photo shooting session :P

wadd~ Dun haf marnie to go to studio to take pro pics maa....

So, I used my multi-talented boyfriend and his semi-pro camera to take some better pics while I'm 20/21. :p Haha. Actually I wanted to learn how to take pictures with his cam, but ended up working in front of the lense instead XP


Anyway, Saturday night was pretty crazy.

The buddies had lots to drink. They played this game with cards where someone will drink at every turn!















It was kinteo but a bit too stressful for me at such an hour. Haha. So I only played one round and finished one can of Heineken. >_<.




















I had to down some of this before the game T.T


Anyway, next morning, I realised my period came! wtf wtf wtf. And I soooo wasn't expecting it to come so soon lorr.. so didn't bring any sanitary pads, so had to buy this Biosilk sanitary pad from the convinince store. RM9.90 for 10 pads. LIke WTF so damn expensive right?! what to doooooo.. That was the only type of pads with wings T.T
So girls, remember to bring ur pads out all the time, anytime for what ever occasion.

okay, so I woke up pretty early, hehe.. You can tell from the pics cos it wasn't very bright.
I think the lighting was perfect. And it wasn't hot yet. Good cos you don't need no eye squinting and won't sweat much. And also, we'd get more pleasant and cooler tone pictures =)~















My worn out slippers! Lost my other ribbon the night before.















I think this is like the perfect nail colour for a sunny day. And white Roxy bikini :P :P

So the shooting started outside our chalet. I love the chalet! It's way better than the rooms, especially the hill top ones!




















Looking all kampung.















I liked that corner. Low tide hehe.















Heaven can be seen from earth. It looks so peaceful. I love it! God is such an amazing artist.
















LOVE LOVE LOVE this pic taken by my multi-talented-boyfriend, Henry. Lol.
This pic is practically my wallpaper now.

And oh, I suck at posing, because I am shy. So, most of the pics are candid... I think. >_<. hmm.

And I really have no idea when the photographer is snapping a pic or not cos he didn't use flash and the lense is always on me. hmm hmm.. ok nvm.. haha

enjoy, or hurt ur eyes, I don't care,
haha.. lots more mes down there.

wow! that rhymed! >_<.















I am so gonna attempt to paint this. Forgot what mode baby did with his camera.






























Things I had on me.

A stick, a bag and my stupid worn out buaya slippers >_<.















Mrs Robinson Crusoe ahaha~















Clarence and some friends came down to the beach later for a morning walk hehe.















Happy lol. I totally dunno wad to say. She(Happy Wong) noticed the missing 'Y'.. haha.. which I didnt even think of.. erm.. nvm if u dont understand.. I also dunno how to describe, I just find it funny haha.















I like this, it's totally candid.















This too. They are soooo well evened out. Look like some song album cover haha.

Baby and his friends.




















Random pic during breakfast. This is the iPhone casing I randomly bought for Henry from Bangkok because it was cute and red. Haha. THB750 T.T But I have a weakness for beautiful things like this. Haha. There was also the angel iPhone casing, but I thought I had too many already, so I didn't buy it. Damn! regret a bit! haha.




















A pic I took near the Tennis court while waiting my turn.
















And that's me going to pick up another tennis ball.




















This is my pro photographer lol. Love.
