Do do do do do the...

Have you ever felt,

So frustrated with yourself because you can't get yourself to do things you have planned so nicely to do when the time to do the things come?

When the time comes, you just don't feel like doing it because it's not what you want to do then. All the muscles in your body tells you, you don't want to do this right now! Do something else! Then you do something else and leave the thing you were supposed to do aside.

And the process above repeats itself and you find yourself never accomplishing the thing you wanted to do. >_<. Sometimes, you don't even know which you should do first anymore. 

I feel so terribly that way. The things I have been putting aside:

1.) Read Breaking Dawn.   Problem: Reading August's CLEO

2.) Read friend's Shopaholic & Baby.   Problem: Must read Shopaholic's Wedding first

3.) Read Shopaholic's Wedding.   Problem: Reading Breaking Dawn first because it's more interesting. wtf

4.) Facial

5.) Treat cracked heels :S

6.) Arrange music in iTunes

7.) Clean old laptop

8.) Practice piano

9.) Draw something

10.) Blog

11.) Sell 2nd hand stuff

And many more :(

All because I want to stare at my PC, surf, read blogs and watch Glee D:

And also because I have to go out and do chores and watch new movies >_<.

And go window shopping

And go travelling

untill I'm broke :((((

Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Shopping

It's been a while. I guess I've been too busy with nothing in particular causing me to neglect things that are actually something in particular. If that made any sense. swt.

Well, actually since the holidays started I've been hopping on and off planes and buses traveling up and down Borneo Island. Muahaha I just made myself sound so touristy but actually I've only been to Kota Kinabalu, Miri and Sibu >_<. Visited a few relatives and friends and now before the 2nd month of the hols, I am broke. T_____T I should seriously plan and budget properly before saying yes to every trip that I am invited to. Maybe that should be my new half a year's resolution.

Okay, to the overdue topic. In KK, like the rest of East Malaysia, there are not many really major high-end brands or large boutiques like Forever 21, Top Shop or Cotton-on in the shopping malls yet, therefore, variety wise, nah, can't shop for much clothes here.

Buttt, what KK has that Kuching does not have is SaSa. It's like a Watson only mainly concentrating on skin care and cosmetic products. So, there are many types of cosmetic products to choose from that you can't get in departmental stores and drug stores. Which also means, lotsa Japanese products :D. Bought a couple of things in SaSa worth more than RM100 sobs but some were pretty useful.

One of them is this cool Eyebrow pencil called, CYBER COLORS Easy Slide Eyebrow Pen. It not only looks pretty on the outside, it also draws pretty neat brows!

On one tip you get the slide out crayon like thing to draw your eyebrow. The color comes out smoothly so a few strokes are enough, and it lasts a whole day on my brows! love!
On the other tip, there's an eyebrow brush, which is oh so awesomely 2 in 1. After drawing your brow you can comb your natural brow hair with the drawing and make it look all natural. Then, under the brush, you can screw out the sharpener! which sharpens the crayon of course! And there you have it, a 3 in one eyebrow fix. It's like my best eyebrow buy ever.

The lines that come out are really rich, neat and easy to control. Love this much more than powder eyebrow pens! It costs around RM40 I thinkkkk, I really forgot, I'm sorry, but it's so worth it because it comes with a refill! What an absolutely satisfying buy. The eyebrow pen comes in three colors, brown, dark brown and grey which are all very pretty. I bought dark brown because it goes with my hair.

The other products I bought are not so major, but still useful. One of them is this, Biore UV Perfect Face Milk, which is sunblock with SPF 50! :D

Skin care consultants always tell me it's crucial to protect your skin from the sun, especially the face, but I have always been too cheap to get a proper sunblock for the face haha. But since we were going to the islands at KK, and would be under the scorching sun for like the whole day, I decided, maybeee it would be good to prevent the face from sunburn.

So, when we were just about to leave SaSa, I spotted this Biore product with the wrapping which says "No.1 best selling sunblock in Japan!". I was like, okaayy, I've seen something like that before on the Hada Labo Moisturizing Lotion's (which is a moisturizing toner) packaging before saying "sold every 4 seconds in Japan!". What is it with using 'Japan'? But oh wells, they dare to claim, so it should have some level of quality. Hada Labo was pretty good, face never peeled after using that moisturizing toner, no complains. and as for this Biore sunblock, no complains either because I didn't get sunburned throughout Manukan. muahaha. Infact, my face and my entire body wasn't seriously tanned at all! muahahahahaha SPF 50 really works!

Oh oh, forgot about the texture... The Biore UV Perfect Face Milk comes out as this smooth white watery like liquid. It's really light, and when applied on the face, it gives a smooth, light powdery layer. It's like the Kate Makeup base I've used before, only lighter and has extra high UV protection ;D. So yeah, it's a pretty good sunblock/makeup base to me. Still use it on random hot sunny days. :)

And the other product I got was this double eye lid glue. Damn it works wonders and got my eyes looking so-not-droopy!!! :D , and made makeup look more natural because I didn't have to use a thick eyeliner layer for my single eyelids anymore. However, the downside is that, it tugs on the eyelids, so after washing it off, eyelids may seem slightly pinkish and swollen. :\ So maybe I won't recommend one to use it everyday.

This is a pic where I used the eyebrow pen, the Biore sunblock for a smooth makeup base and a layer of a bit of the eyelid glue. :)

Oh btw, since the post's makeup related, I'd like to share this video of a nice natural look I like from Michelle Phan. I love her vids haha. Enjoy.

Okay, this has been a really long post. I guess that's what you get when you've got tons of words stuck in your brain trying to find it's way out after some time. Hope this was helpful :D

Anyway, till next time thxbye~

Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Night life

Okay! Freaking over due this post it. Oh no, Yoda influenced: Yoda recording for Tom Tom GPS.  swt.

So! Before going to KK, a friend of mine had told me I had to visit the clubs there. Because he went to B.E.D. and said it was very nice. Soooo~~~ off we went, clubbing. But we saved B.E.D for later. We checked out Ice Bar at 1Borneo on Friday night.

It was really pretty

Also really empty >_<.

But I'll give them an excuse, it's because the World Cup was going on. Everyone was right outside Ice Bar watching football in the big screen. Apparently the big screen was Ice Bar's too, so they didn't have any business problems I think.

Music was okay and all. But drinks were err...

Don't order Long Island Iced Tea there! It was disgusting. The taste was weird! It was bittery alright, but the bitter had no alcohol kick kind of bitter, it was just bad period.

The Tequila Sunrise however, was alright :D

RM90 for 2 jugs of cocktails

I lost my balance while doing this and fell on Cherling T_T

We left Ice Bar around 12 that night because it was getting depressing even though they had some activities going on like break dancing and game thingies, there were just too few people. We headed for B.E.D after that, which shall be shown later.

Saturday night, we checked out Times Square, KK. It's somewhat like Travillion in Kuching, only, way bigger and classier, and had tons more parking which are a hundred times well maintained, but er, not free la. RM2 per entry I think. Still cheap for decent parking right?

And the place was much nicer. It was big, spacious, lotsa youngsters and coughChinesecough. There were quite a number of clubs and karaoke bars there, including some with very familiar names like:

Emperor!

The Curve?! which was not very big haha.

And many more clubs. They were all pretty and very modern, most of them has 2 stories, but some were a little... under-occupied, if you know what I mean. Okay, I mean, there were a lot of clubs there, but they were not all filled with people. One of my friends tried and simply opened one door of a club and saw the most depressing sight ever and immediately closed the door HAHA. There were only 2 people in the club. D:

Anyway, our main visit to Times Square was actually to checkout Firefly. It was introduced by one of our friends. Which we later found out to be another friend's uncle's place. Coolness.

Now that place was happening! A Philippino band (I think) was playing and they were fawesome! They kept on singing all the most modern, mainstream clubbing music non-stop, they made DJs look bad >_<. The club was packed and young adults were dancing to the music, drinking and having fun the whole night through. Oh the place was quite pretty too hehe. Too bad we didn't know about the place earlier. It was so packed that we had to stand and drink at a corner for a while :( So, that is one place to party if you visit KK :D

Us with one of the singers from the live band. She's so nice and friendly. Kept taking pictures with us until we were satisfied lol.

After the band left, we got bored and headed to B.E.D. AGAIN! hehehe. Not to sleep. >_<. It stands for Best Entertainment Destination :D.

My friend was right, it was BIG. And still full of people at 1am something. Only that the live band left already so, couldn't experience it's awesomeness like in Firefly heh.

This was Friday night @ B.E.D.

Saturday night @ B.E.D

See how high the roof is? This is one corner. There's the bar in the middle where all the bottles are. And also a hugeee screen for football fans to stare at.

This is another corner, the stage side.

And the Bed Room haha. V.I.P room I guess?

And after our 2 very exhausting days and late nights out, we literally head home to bed.

Overall, KK's night life was pretty good if you go to the right places. But I do recommend Firefly and B.E.D, judging by the amount of people there, they seem to be the more popular places. :D

That's all right

Eminem ft. Rihanna - I love the way you lie

I don't know why I'm loving this song now... Not that it makes me happy, we all know it's a dark song lol. 

But it's so true, ain't it? This happens, doesn't it?

It's all in the lyrics, or maybe cause it sounds like Airplanes, or maybe it's just the catchy way Eminem always raps in. ♥

Anyways, enjoy. :)

The time will eventually come, it is the effort throughout the days leading to it that makes all the difference.

Kota Kinabalu Trip 2010: Manukan

Hey people, I'm back and typing again! Many happenings lately but, let's put that aside and talk about the Kota Kinabalu trip I just came back from :D

The highlight has got to be the trip to the island, Manukan. Was sooo looking forward to it.

The girls I went with :))

Departed from the beautiful Sutera Harbor

wheee

the islands were so beauuutiful *heart* Like nothing I've ever seen before, maybe because I've never been to any before this T.T Well, actually I did go to Manukan like about 10 years back but I remember nothing but a few fishes in the clear water. Lol, so not worth it to bring kids on holidays because they won't appreciate it till a certain age I think >_<.

Oh yeah we definitely tried that. However, snorkeling there was rather uncomfortable. The moment our whole body was dipped into the water, there's some tiny invisible creatures in the water that kept stinging us like needle pricks, at first it hurts, then it becomes itchy. Annoying to the max. After a while we couldn't stand it anymore and got outta the water to do other activities. So before renting the snorkels, I suggest you guys test the water out first ;)

Omg, I've always wanted to hang on a parachute when I was younger but as I grew older, fear and love for life kinda made me a coward and the images of jumping off a plane in the middle of the sky and opening my own parachute just made it all a biggg NoNO. 

However~~~~ Parasailing was one of the closest and fawesomest way I got on a parachute!!! :DDD It is perfectly safe and comfy, and I don't feel it's a wee bit life threatening at all.. And the view up there was just spectacular. I shouted my lungs out at the water, islands and mountains in the distance, oh the relief!!! :)). And you can even ask them to lower you so you can brush your feet on the water sometimes which is just sooo funnn :DD.. That's definitely one activity to try for like around RM100 only.

Afterthat, all 5 of us hopped on a wooden island in the middle of the sea to JET SKIII!!! :D But the island was rather err floaty, got a bit seasick.

That's me resting my mind, and eyes, while being laughed at by the "sweeetest" people around me. >_<. lol.

On the jet ski! :D

After the skiing while waiting for the others, we were allowed to just jump off the boat and dip into the sea. But I must warn you to close your mouth, nose and eyes real tight before jumping. Because if the salt water gets into either one of these 3 organs, it would BURRNNN >_<. Seriously, the water is SOOO salty!!! Eyes and nose suffered lol, and the mouth, omg, the salt, omg, yucckkk lol. Water looks blue and clean but it still is the sea = SALTY. lol.

Judy was lucky enough to maneuver the boat for like 1 minute loll..

Oh yeah, sitting at the tip of the boat letting the angry wind slap your face awake is the best feeling ever.

Got back to shore and Judy continued her snorkeling while the rest of us cam-hoed all the way muahaha Facebook is partially proof :p

♥

hehe

♥♥

The classic beach jump (attempt)

K.K

The tide is high~ and we're sitting on the water :D

And that would be the end of our fawesome experience! That would be my first time snorkeling, para-sailing and jet skiing. Whee~

More stuff bout KK coming up soon :D
