bahagia dalam sibuk

Quick update!
Yay! I almost finished my to-do list!! :D :D

Went to the bank at 4:20pm! Nasib baik sempat, cos bank tutup 4:30pm! Alhamdulillah :)

I bought 1 NYX lipstick and tadi dah bayar.

Medical check-up, checked! All intact! :) But masya-Allah so many people! Bukan sakit, but ramai parents bawa their sons untuk sunat! Some acted cool, some pijak semut pun tak mati.. hihi ;p (I tak ada experience, my siblings - all girls!)

1st pre-order kat my blogshop dah finalised. Tengah tunggu je. InsyaAllah everything will be ok! Just now, one supplier called. One of my ordered items dah sold out. Lucky can tukar yang lain. Alhamdulillah.

Stay tuned for new items ok!!

Next week kena buat grooming session!! The boyfriend is coming back!! THURSDAY!! Sayang, I soooo can't wait.... I'm in need of a new hair-do but nothing scared me the most than potong rambut! I takut nanti menyesal. I usually play safe like, trim, samakan length rather than layer, potong fringe. Tu je la pun... And now Lily dah quit, I macam hesitate nak bagi Aison cuts my hair since he likes to cut hairs bagi jadi macam rambut dia -___-!

Oh tadi before nak pergi bank, my tayar kereta pancit! Like kempis okay! :( Dah la dah lambat, boleh pulak pancit kan? Pastu I dah la macam noob sikit. Normally if nak isi angin cam tekan je la 180 or 210 etc etc but this time around tayar like kempis langsung. Kena press button "Flat tyre" and my God, bunyi angin dia so scary! Pasir-pasir semua cam berterbangan! I isi half-way je sebab macam meletup pulak! (ok, tu over! ;p ) Then return to normal setting. (Confirm ada paku lagi!! Previous post tayar pancit)

Tips: For Neo, pressure tayar belakang 180kPa, tayar depan 210kPa!

★ Random! ★

What I found while cooking that other day!
Look at the yolk! Twin egg! The right one is the normal-sized egg yolk!

GOSH!! I tiba-tiba rindu L53!

p/s: Lepas tengok You're Beautiful, I minat Hongki pulak! hihihi... And I have good news! Nanti buat special post! :) Soon!

monday blues

Beating the Monday blues.

Okay. I should not hate Mondays. Mmmmm....

Lots of things need to be done today! Sister's stuff (as usual), bank, medical checkup, Maisarah's MRSM exam blablabla :( I'm the driver of the day since there's only one car available. Have I told you, my Kelisa got into an accident with some stupid mat rempits? No one's hurt. Alhamdulillah. Oh, Dad is finally going to send my big black Volvo for repair. :) Yippee! That car I tell you, kalah bulldozer! ;p

Now, I'm in dilemma. Haha, macam biasa...

Which one should I get?
Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s or Fujifilm Instax Mini 25


It's the Fujifilm Instax Mini 25 that is used in the drama.
"You're beautiful!"

Aahh...

And I just know, I have to get it!

Mini 7s

Mini 25

The differences
(click for larger view)

And one thing you should know, Mini 25 is double the price of mini 7s!

One second, I feel like I should get the Mini 25, then I suddenly feel both models are actually pretty much the same and Mini 25 is a bit pricey. Then I think I should just get the Mini 7s. But then I realise it's the Mini 25 that I want... It goes on and on...

p/s: eik, crazy woman!

shahredza minhat

I forgot to tell how was Pisau Cukur

I know this is a very backdated post! Eik ;p

Fazura and Maya Karin are awesome as always.

It's this guy that attracts my attention.
He's not that hot nor handsome. It's his charms!
I can't really tell what exactly it is.
Looking forward to his actions in drama/movie etc etc ;p


Shahredza Minhat!

I believe, it's probably his braces... ;p

elianto brush review

Recently, I bought this brush from Elianto. From the pack, it says - for nose blending.
I use it for blending my eyeshadows though!

The thing is, it sheds like crazy! :(
LIKE CRAZY!

I don't recommend buying this unless you don't mind having bristles all over your face!

But this brush is very inexpensive. RM7.
So I guess, what you pay is what you get! -__-!

I'm eyeing brushes from Etude House. I read a lot of good reviews on them!
MAC is still too expensive :(
*saving money*

i feel happy

Today seems almost perfect. :)

My blogshop is up, after months of planning and surveying.

Oh, I gave some good news that makes the father happy.
These little things really can make a difference.

Alhamdulillah.

Blogshop - The orders keep coming, with a little help from everyone
and that's good! I really appreciate it :)
I should have started earlier. ;p

Last few days, got the chance to skype with Pchek!
Rindu dowh kau...
I have not been on Skype for quite awhile.
To be able to talk to someone close to you really made my day.
Just I hope that the boyfriend can rectify his internet problem quick!
I miss him terribly. Anyway, thanks for the notebook sayang.

Beauty updates? Soon! Sorry, girls!

Eikk, so many things to juggle. :S
I'm pretty busy lately. I have soo many things to tell but I just haven't got time to do so.

Ok, I should start packing now.
I'll be away for a few days, will be back by Saturday.

See you!
Have a nice day! :)

I love today! :D

p/s: I have few scheduled posts for you! Just to not let you people miss me.. ;p

EOTD turquoise pink/purple

E.O.T.D
(my first post)
and this is especially for all those who requested :) Enjoy!

Turquoise pink/purple

Actually, I don't really have a name for it. At first, I thought of calling it "Little Pony" :p
Haha. Ok. Whatever.

I used the 88 Coastal Scents Palette and Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Velvet Black.
No mascara this time. Pretty simple.

*EOTD (eyes of the day)

p/s: there's a lot more to come, stay tuned!

let me tell you what happened

WOW a week without new post!

So, how's everyone?
I'm so sorry people. I've been through a lot of stuff lately...
Don't worry, I'm coping. (taking deep breath) I'm coping. Really.

To Sacha, shout out to you ---> Thanks for the comment dear. :) Yup. Been doing a lot of things! Gahhh! I wish I have 50 hours a day... haha! (Ok, That's too much I think. I'll be dead by the time weekend arrives) ;p

So yeah, sooo many things happened, this week has really been something....

Let me tell you.

• Firstly, my blog turned 1 last Tuesday! Yes. I've been blogging for a year! (My Facebook account is about 2 years old, btw) Damn! I was so busy that day, and I couldn't write any special post :( I really wanted to do something different and special but then my bad time management failed me. It's okay, let's wait for its 2nd birthday - if it's still around. InsyaAllah. :)

• My mom lost her car key! Yes. She lost it. Lots of unfortunate events. Remote's not working. Alarm's shrieking. MidValley at 9pm. Locksmith and what not. OMG. At the end, we finally managed to get back the car. -___-!!!!

• I'm helping the sisters' out. The application, overseas trip, shopping for stuffs. Tiring. Dead beat. Problems with bank account won't help either.

• Guess what, I think it's been more than a week since I last talked to the boyfriend. I'm pretty occupied and he is too plus I just couldn't contact him. Couldn't get through his phone. Not getting any reply for messages I sent. But last night we're talking via YM about my sisters' stuffs and forgot to ask how's he doing. I hope he's doing fine. He sounded fine though. (tough times, tough times)
  

• Remember my car post? Surprisingly I did settle most of them. I managed to get the car for a few days. I went to Korean festival and bought gochujang, udon noodles and the rice cakes. And Milkis of course. Hehe I've been cooking Korean food like everyday. Breakfast, supper etc. Ahhh, love it! :) Pictures, soon okay!

• Oh, I went to do something awesome last Tuesday. AAAAAAA what more can I say, aeroplane makes me go lalala~ weeeeee!!! I just love aeroplanesssssssss... :)

• Oh, the day mom lost her key... I had a little "heart exercise"! That same day, there're these people sending back our fridge. We sent it for repair. So yada yada, the guy showed me the invoice and I was like,

"Do I have to pay now?" -_____-!!

The guy, "Yeah, now."

God. If it's couple of hundreds then it's okay but it was not and I had not enough cash in hand. My mom didn't inform us that these people will be coming. My sister and I, gosh. Our hearts were thumping while looking for money from every inch and corner of the house. The sister had to sacrifice her money box, and thank God, I am the kind of person who would put money everywhere... That plastic, this plastic, that pocket, this pocket. Mom, please don't do this to us anymore!

• And, my skin. I hate breakouts!! I have like tonnes of huge zits that no makeup can ever cover them!! Urgh.

I actually still have a lot more to write but I'm afraid I might bore you... so that's about it I think! Thanks for reading.... :)

To all my lovely lovely lovely readers/followers, thanks for reading my blog! Really appreciate it :)

I'm one alreadyy! :)

a car. period.

Not a beauty-related update today!

Mm, it's mid November now... How time flies! In less than 2 month's time, we are welcoming 2010! Mmmmmmmmm... Okay that sounds scary to me. I'm not excited obviously. I must do something! I must do something! I must do something! To make my 2009 worth every second.... O please...

Anyway, I'm aware I've been pretty slacking in blog updates this week... Not that I'm super busy... though I do have a few things to be done. I'm losing the touch. No, I don't mean that. Just that, one week I can be so hyped about everything, and the following I just have got nothing to say. Mm, okay. I get it. This is life.

Perhaps I should just be writing everything that I have in mind now.

First off, I hate it when there's no spare car at home. I feel handicapped and all the plans are just bound to crash. Black Volvo, why did you die?

My sister and I thought of joining foreign language class which starts today but it costs a bomb. RM1k? Never mind. It seems like the sister is the only one who's going. Yeah, after everything that happens I no longer/rarely ask for anything from my parents. Let alone, going for holidays... Enough of letting them down. Not that they cut everything off, I feel like I shouldn't be asking. However on the bright side - now, I'm earning my own money yo! :D Have been doing few jobs here and there. I could have done more if I have a car. I'm pretty sure.

To my friends who's wondering how am I doing right now, I'm doing perfectly fine. Thank you for all your concerns, friends. (Don't bug Abyan too much) I'll tell you if there's any to tell okie? :) Right now I'm just collecting the bits and pieces and putting them together. But the picture is way too far to appear. As long as it's going to appear, I'm good. Really. Having a car will speed it up a bit!

I'm starting off on a new journey/adventure soon, I hope. Received an unexpected phone call the other day. Remarkably miracle :) I'm pretty negative about it, I don't feel like doing it and suddenly it came to me. It's a sign! Miracle still happens right? Yay! Something good might turn up. InsyaAllah. Let's just say I need a car next week. To make or break, it's a different story.

I'm craving some Korean food, Thai food and Tomyum Udon now. I have to have all of these. I have not been eating so much lately. (I know that doesn't sound like me!) oh heard One Utama is having Korean fest? This is the time I should stock up on Korean food. Smelling rapokki now? ;p Oh, would love to try making jjambong! Again, gotta have a car, right?

Okay everyone!

Don't worry. I'm coping.
Not having a car won't stop me from what I'm doing right now. It's just a thought that if I have a car, it'd be better. Or wait, maybe I can prove it otherwise! Let's just see.

And hehe after all, I'm not a spoiled-brat who can't live without a car... :D

The House Hostel - Sokcho

The House Hostel, Sokcho, South Korea.

I forgot to write about it. I've been wanting to show where I stayed in Sokcho :) Definitely an awesome, inexpensive lodging place! If you're on budget travelling and wish to visit Sokcho. You must stay here! I highly recommend it. You're gonna love this hostel! Seriously. At first, I thought we'll be staying in a dormitary (haha, ngok!) but no, we stayed in a room - nice queen bed with *WHITE LINEN and a tub in the bathroom. Very good value for money!
(*I can't sleep at hotel/motel/hostel if the linen is not white. I don't know why. I just need it to be white)

The front view

The reception area, also as the common area. You can watch DVD here.
I love how Mr. Yoo decorates this space. Awesome and very homely, right?
Mr. Yoo is the owner. He's very friendly and welcoming and he speaks English! Before checking-in to our room, he gave us maps and told us all the must-see places. Plus the bus number, good places to eat and all. Couldn't ask for more! Check out what we had in Sokcho! [click]

The terrace and the BBQ area. Or you can sit here and enjoy your morning coffee. :)

The kitchen - the amazing kitchen. Elegantly decorated. It's the best part of the hostel. I just feel that the interior is just perfect. It's very airy and I love the atmosphere.
Made me enjoy my mornings so much. :)

Us having breakfast before leaving for Mount Seorak. The price also comes with free breakfast.
Besides, too many facilities provided here. Bicycle rental, DVD, laundry+drying, internet access, parking space. Free of charge!

Too bad we didn't manage to take a photo with Mr. Yoo. We were rushing to catch our bus to Chuncheon. Anyway, I'll definitely come back again, if possible!

And here's Mr. Yoo's dog

Love it!

sunday treat - mi rojak & cendol

hehe no, I'm not going to spoil your Sunday mood - it's just a reminder ;p
So, just keep the weekend spirit up till tomorrow ya!

Have a fun Sunday, everyone!

Perfect for 4pm on Sunday or even brunch!
(you, come home quick!)

p/s: you, can we have cendol on our engagement day?

88 Coastal Scents palette review + stage haul

Hee! Another post that makes my other half annoyed - much! ;p Oh let's pray for his fast recovery. He had a slight temperature the other day that the doctor suspected it could be H1N1 - but no, it's not it. It's "something" flu. Malaysia dah tak kecoh dah H1N1, Korea baru sampai? ;p

Anyway, remember my dilemma? Haha. I had been eyeing for the palette since forever! So yeah, I decided to purchase the 88 instead of the 72! And gosh! I'm loving it!! Like so so so so much! :) I wish I had it long long long time ago!

88 palette (matte) - Me likey-likey so much!!
I did not purchase this from Coastal Scents website. But it's from the same manufacturer. This is how it looks like! It comes with a mirror attached to it and 2 applicators.

The applicator. Not gonna use it.

I'm just gonna write a little review on this since thousands of makeup gurus/lovers had done it. Some like it, some don't. As for me, I like it soo much! It's the best tool for beginners. You get to experience with colours. I was lucky to receive it in excellent condition. Nothing is broken! :)

The texture is however quite powdery and gritty but all you need is just a good primer. (I'm eyeing for UDPP now! ;p ) Good base may prevent fallouts. I had no trouble with fallouts. Oh, for the price, it is definitely a steal! :)

And this is the 120 palette. Haven't got the chance to try. Bought it for my sister.

And on that same day I came across stage. They were having a promotion that I couldn't resist. Eeik! Finally I got my chance to lay my hand on it. Hee, my first collection of stage. :)

Wonderluxe Satin Matte Lipstick. Awesome matte lipsticks!

They smell vanilla which I really loveeeeee.

Left: Naughty Nude, Right: Pixie Pink

The cheek colours.

Nude is just my colour! :)
(He always says they all look the same) Mm, he just doesn't understand. ;p

p/s: I've never met a lipgloss I like to use everyday. I don't know why. Wait, have a listen. Romanian singing Malay song? Not bad, he's in fact amazing!! :)

address book/buku kahwin (bukan buku biodata)

Ingat tak lagi zaman sekolah rendah, masa zaman tulis biodata?

Dulu I had this one book. Kulit tebal, cantik dan segala. Dalam tu penuh biodata kawan-kawan. So macam setiap orang kena tulis cantik-cantik - guna magic colour pen, boleh tampal-tampal kertas warna warni, sticker bagai. Lepas seorang dah siap, pass kat kawan-kawan lain. Boleh bawa balik rumah tapi dengan syarat 1 hari je and jangan tulis lebih 2 muka surat. Haha, butiran-butiran yang ditulis seperti berikut:

1. Nama
2. Nama panggilan (ada yang tulis, RAHSIA - poyo! kalau rahsia baik tak payah tulis. Haha!)
   
3. Tarikh lahir
4. Tempat lahir (siapa lahir kat luar negara memang da' bomb aaa!)
   
5. Kenangan manis
   
6. Kenangan pahit (ni standard: jatuh longkang, jatuh basikal paling famous)
   
7. Makanan kegemaran
8. Minuman kegemaran
9. Kawan baik dan musuh (Hahaa!)
10. Last sekali ucapan untuk tuan punya buku.

Haha. Korang ada buku ni tak?

My minat terhadap buku-buku macam ni tak hilang-hilang lagi. Tapi bila dah besar sikit, dah sedar yang benda paling penting is alamat rumah (sebab jarang orang pindah rumah kan?) Kawan-kawan sekolah rendah tak risau sangat sebab rumah biasanya satu taman. Tapi bila naik sekolah menengah macam jumpa orang jauh-jauh - bukan setaman. Lepas form 3, ramai beransur-ansur masuk asrama. Dah start lost contact. Lepas form 5, haaa lagi la!

So this is my special book; the special green book! :) Haha, I call it buku kahwin, dalam tu ada alamat close friends. Nanti senang, bila nak kahwin tak payah susah-susah mintak alamat. So, if you have written down your address in this book, you might be invited to my wedding. :)

Note: ni poyo sikit. "MIGHT" tu sebab every year I akan revise balik the list and I mungkin rasa certain orang tu tak payah jemput. Haha! (konon wedding best sangat la kan? haha!) No, I budget kecil saja, tak mampu jemput ramai-ramai.

(Oh no, why am I writing this. No, don't get me wrong, I'm not getting married anytime soon ok!)

This book is about 3 years old.



Ni entry paling cantik, my cubemate, Nadiah.

Dalam buku ni tak banyak pun entry pun sebab as some of you might already know, I tak banyak kawan. I simply disagree with pepatah "kawan biar seribu blablabla (tak ingat)..." For me, bila kawan, kawan betul-betul.


p/s: ni post yang I janji nak buat dulu.
