Watch it before I remove it

I always wanted to make this video but I only had the courage to do it today.
I can't really deal with hate, as you all know that I really despise mean people.
As a blogger, social networker myself, hate is unavoidable.
Sometimes when I receive mean comment, I'll just leave it and ignore it.
Sometimes, I would reply in a sarcastic way, to let them know that it's not nice cyber bullying.
If I think it's too much of hate, I'll delete it.
Anyway, I still made this video today.
I use Mandarin because it's related to a Chinese website.
I'm good at Mandarin, I'm just bad at expressing my thoughts in Mandarin.
So, those smartarses who try to diss my Mandarin speaking.........



I will sure contradict myself in this video.
Cause my friends are famous and shit, they are on the lists all the time.
I tried to speak up for girls, but no, I only speak up for most of the girls.
It also got a lil personal at the back where I know that I would be misunderstood.
I'm sorry that it got personal, I know that guy PERSONALLY and I dislike him a lot.
Haha, I'm sorry but not sorry.



I really want to just share this social message.
As you all know that, I always encourage people to share love on my blog.
I have no intention for hate, making this video.
I also have no intention of being famous or whatsoever.
You know, the internet is scary, people will probably twist my words.
If I ever want to be famous, I hope it's for music, not for anything else.
So yeah, it's pretty surprising, this video is being shared.
Yes, I will also remove it if it gets out of hand.
My intention is not for it to go viral.
You all know me, man.
I always remove stuff that goes out of hand because I know I can't handle it.
I know some of you faithful readers are going to complain that
"I haven't watched it!", "I really want to watch it!"
Lol, so, that's why, people, follow my blog on iMotiv or whatever, hahaha!
Yeh, so watch it before I remove it.


This social message being delivered well is all that matters.
Thanks!

How did I first find out about MH17?
Natalie sent a message to group chat breaking the news to us.
I was so hesitant and asked my girl friends to hang in there, let me check, let me check.
I turned on the TV, it was all over CNN and BBC.
My heart just sank.


It's confirmed with 298 people on board, not 295.





Then, I posted this status.
Is my Chinese that bad? Why can't people understand what I was saying?
I guess I should remove this as well for further misunderstanding =,=







I was really upset with Malaysian media and some Malaysians about the Kiki incident yesterday.
(Look back at it, how stupid, insane and ridiculous this Kiki incident is.)
Don't you think there's so many more important things to be cared about?
I thought this country is so sick that I want to give up on it.
Then, this TRAGEDY happened, not blaming MAS but (yeh, I blame the party
who is responsible for this "attack", still no clue if it was a terrorism act or.. a misfire, I don't know)
Listened to the sound clip aired on CNN about a phone call of someone reporting to their official
that they shot a plane down and realized that it was a civilian plane! My goodness.
All we can do now, is, wait.
I realized that I've always loved my country and will always love my country.
No matter what happens, Malaysia is still Malaysia.
To us, it's home, we can't give up on our country.
This tragedy will forever leave a mark for us Malaysians and make us stronger.
Does anybody get what I was trying to say?





This is my personal Facebook profile.
世事無常, look what can happen in just 4 hours of time.





One of my best friends from high school.
Her mum was on MH370 flight.
We used to go to the same church, a religious.
She hasn't found her mum, nothing, no answers, her mum just vanished.
I don't know how these families are holding on, I'm sorry.
I feel very sad, very very sad, it's hurting me, hurting everyone.
Why? Why is this happening?





I was also guilty of a tweet when I was eagerly waiting for Malaysian media to report about it.
CNN and BBC stopped their on going programmes and were reporting on it.
They were all in English, my mum was telling me to flip to Malaysian channels for Chinese news.
I kept flipping on TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7, 8TV, nothing was on until 12am.
I later deleted the tweet because I was guilty of spreading negativity. GUILTY.
I said "Nothing on Malaysian media yet. Same old trick. It's all over CNN and BBC."
(Malaysian media, I meant the TV.)
TV3 then talked about it for about 20 seconds and went back to Kiki incident
while CNN and BBC are showing us maps and routes.




Many always asked me why did I come back.
I always tell them that "I love Malaysia".
There's the "but", still, yes, I love my country.
There are times that I feel this country is hopeless, that I just want to give up.
However, Malaysia will always be home.
For those who b*tch about me coming back with an accent,
just so you know, at least I AM HOME, I AM HERE,
I will never forget my root, my mothertongue (which is Chinese).
My accent might have changed but my root, my culture, my belief will never be changed.




Quoting Prime minister Najib's speech/official statement
"This is a tragic day in what has already been a tragic year for Malaysia."
 "The flight's passengers and crew came from many different countries, but today,
regardless of nationality, we're all united in grief."

Keep spreading love, it's tough but we will and we must recover.




 It's not just a hard time for Malaysia or countries that are involved.
So many innocent lives were killed.
I always wanted to blog about the war between Gaza and Israel.
So many innocent lives were killed and are being killed.
I do not know how to help. All I can do is spreading love.
I've been reading articles about the war.
At first I thought that Israel is at fault.
Then, I read both sides of the stories.
I can't tell what is happening, what is the truth, what I know is what the media is feeding me.
I've always cared about national and international issues but I just don't share much.
Cause I don't even know what is right and what is wrong.
I'm a tiny media influencer in Malaysia and I need to be careful with what I say.
I just really hope that the war would stop.






We are all sinners, God.
Please save us all, God.





We're on each other's TEAM

Picture credit to Eric Ho, at Lorde's concert in Sydney July 2014.





Everyone has heard of the famous song "Royals" by Lorde.
I know it's overplayed on the radio.
Still, the message of this song hasn't really gotten out to people (Maybe it did).
People mostly listen to catchy tune nowadays than feeling and comprehending what the song is about.
People listen to songs radio stations are feeding them.
Sometimes I wish to be a radio DJ, so I get to play more good songs to people, lol.
I listen to love songs a lot, indie pop, indie rock, folk, acoustic...
Most musicians write about love nowadays.
It's reasonable, it's explainable, it's related to us, it's so close to heart.
We need musicians like these to spread love and to heal broken hearts.
We absolutely need more musicians like Lorde too.





Some listened to "Royals" and asked "wtf is she talking about?"
"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh, I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies."
It's deep, so deep that you don't understand, so deep that you need to study her words.
This is my comprehension on the first few lines of this song
"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh"
She grew up in a humble town that she has never experienced a luxurious lifestyle
where you see diamonds or even diamonds in the flesh.
"Cut your teeth" is an idiom meaning that you are being introduced to something new,
your first experience on something.
"I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies."
She only knew about wedding rings(diamonds) through watching movies.
"I'm not proud of my address, in a torn up town, no postcode envy."
As I said, she lives in a humble town, nothing fancy.

Go along with this direction that I gave you, read the lyrics and listen to the song.
You will get it.




People are chasing after luxurious lifestyle, being considered a "good life".
I really want to make a vlog explaining this song and talk about materialism.
I'm just not fit for this discussion, even if I don't chase after a luxurious lifestyle.
Being a social networker, blogger, I will not survive if my life is not "interesting".
It's contradicting, it's hypocritical.
No matter how low profile I want to be, I can't.
I make a living by flaunting whatever that's considered "cool" or "appealing" to people.
Yes, I feel lucky, being like this is good enough and I'm thankful for it.
I'm not famous to get too much hate.
I also get to influence a tiny group of people with my beliefs.
What I really want to do is to get good music out there.
Who knows I might get to produce great music in the future, that's my dream.




 Anyway, sorry for the overflowing inspiration.
I'm just very inspired by Lorde, she made me look myself in the mirror.
I also got the chance to meet her earlier this month, I'm still not over it.
Shout out to Universal Music Malaysia, you guys are awesome!
Lorde introduced me to her mum too, wowwwwwwwwww.
*mind blown*
She's so sincere, she's very sincere.
I treasure and appreciate sincerity, it's something so rare nowadays.




Again, I wasn't born with a good voice and my vocal just can't make it.
The pitch range is so wide, I don't have a deep voice and I can't reach a high pitch too.
Sorry for the disappointment but not sorry, lol.
I'm greedy, I want to share not just one but two songs.
My favourites are actually Glory and Gore, Team, 400 Lux though but
this is what we came up with under *circumstances*.
Kang Er makes a living teaching music, sometimes I just don't want to take up too much of his time.
I feel lucky to have him as a singing partner and I appreciate his passion for music too.
Poor thing, I "tortured" him to learn these two songs in a morning.
 Big thumbs up for my singing buddy here!
Well, at least we came up with something and we did it live again! (:
Hope you like the little verse arrangement we did in between.

What contact lens do I wear?

One of the most frequently asked questions on my blog, FB and Instagram is
What contact lens do you wear?
Firstly, I do not wear poor quality lens.
I'm introducing to you, the first cosmetic lens, Lacelle by Bausch+Lomb
 which is now available in Malaysia.











I've been wearing Bausch+Lomb for a long time now.
I used to wear Bausch+Lomb clear lens to school and to work ;
Cosmetic lens for hangouts, dates and parties.
I like Bausch+Lomb for the high water content and good quality that never give me dry eyes.


Anyway, more introduction on Lacelle lens...
Their unique lace patterns help enhancing our eyes beautifully.
Their marathon like comfort is the most impressive to me.
They are also FDA authenticated pigment standard.
They are monthly disposable.
Lacelle comes in two different ranges :
Limbal series, comes in modest brown and tender brown.
Color series, available in jubilee violet, sparkling brown and frozen grey.


My favourite colours for Lacelle lenses are
Sparkling Brown and Jubilee Violet







I used to wear poor quality lenses, like the ones you can easily get online.
It's not certified and it's poor in quality.
The Chinese have a saying : The eyes are the windows to human souls.
It's lucky to be able to see this beautiful world with a pair of God given eyes.
Eyes are important to us and we should really take care of them.
Guess I was a bad-behaved child who always stayed close to the TV.
I'm seriously short-sighted.

Comfortable contact lenses are very important to me.
42% of water content, that's what I'm talking about.
Wearing Sparkling Brown in these pictures.







Look better with cosmetic lens and feel good without dry eyes all day (:








Was also just wearing Jubilee Violet the other day.
Make up smudged after a long day spent in the studio, but eyes were still moisturized!

Never be jealous of your partner's ex

$

Sigh, sometimes I feel this dilemma.
I'm so inspired to type a post or to say something but sometimes.. I keep backspace-ing or deleting.
I just can't, you know, it might cause problem or... I don't know man, I let it slip.
Sometimes, I feel like I want to be a "Elite Daily" or "Huffington" writer that I can write things.
Write things that can relate to people, to my readers.
Every single time I want to say something, I always HAVE to think twice.
I don't want to think twice, why? I have my rights and my freedom to say stuff (responsibly).
I'm a blogger, I'm a public figure, I post stuff publicly, you have the choice to read it or not.
There are times that I just decide not to give two shit.
I just do it without writing a script or having any preparation.
I just do it and it's usually bad, just like the video I did previously.
I can speak Mandarin fluently but I'm poor at expressing my thoughts, then I was misunderstood.
As a Gemini myself, I feel that I always explain, I like to explain to people.
I like to reason with people, I do not like fights or misunderstandings, I reason.
Come on, we are all civilized people.
I don't like drama, my friends and I don't have dramas because we don't do dramas.
I decided to ignore when I first knew about this.
I tried to let it slip but we heard something very bad of me about this issue today.
I felt that I'm being misunderstood and I want to have my say.
As I was typing this, I texted Jane and told her that "I'm very inspired, can I blog this?"
She has always been protective of me and she always told me to hide my thoughts.
It came to my surprise that she told me to go ahead and just remember to be neutral.
I was like "man, of course, thanks bro!"
I needed that push, I needed that confidence.






The title seems a little too full of myself because I used the word "jealous".
As you all might think that "you must have experienced this before, so you typed a post like this."
No, I mean in general, generally, I was jealous of my ex partner's ex girlfriend.
 Nobody's perfect you know, sometimes you get jealous, you care, you do it out of love.
I wasn't really a jealous girlfriend, I was more a bad tempered girlfriend, lol.

I'm very inspired to type this post because of this.





So just the other day, I was cleaning my room.
FYI, my room is really messy and my wardrobe is so full that I put my clothes on my bed.
(It's a great use for a double bed btw, lol.)
Just want you to know how cluttered my room is.
Anyway, I haven't cleaned my room for a very long time and I found this little drawer.
I put my expensive accessories in it and I found a small black box.
I was like "hmmm what is this?"
When I opened it up, I felt so warm at heart, I was surprised that I still keep it.
 Really lovely, awwwwww, it's a tiny music box, awwwww...
No, I "awwwww" not because I still can't let go of my ex.
I "awwwwww" because I feel this little gift is so special and precious.
It must have meant a lot to me that I put it in this drawer.
I was so inspired that I had to post it on my instagram, I said:
"When we were younger and we had no money, we actually gave the most meaningful gifts"
It's true, what I meant was how materialistic this world is becoming.
A gift is always a branded bag, branded bracelet, an iPhone, fancy stuff++.
Then I gave an example that he was eighteen and I was sixteen.
It's not that we had no money, wait, we really had no money.
We live on, like, hundred bucks weekly, monthly?
We used to make valentine's cards for each other, we poured our heart and soul into it.
I saw the Gucci bag my 2nd ex partner got me for birthday and I just looked at it.
No special feeling, because, it's a bag, ok, it's a Gucci bag, cool.
If someone now burns me a CD with his favourite songs or my favourites songs,
I'd probably wet my pants (not literally, just an exaggerated expression).
"Do you feel that repentance though?"
I actually meant that life is filled with repentance but we grow out of it.
We don't live in the past, time flies, we grow up.





This post caused problem because my ex boyfriend's girlfriend was furious about it.
Girlfriend went on a Facebook rant about me, I think, no, I HEARD.
Saying that I do not respect her and she also attacked me personally.
Personal attack 人生攻擊 is not cool, man, not cool.
If you think I want to steal your boyfriend, you make comments about it, well, cool..for you.
Totally unrelated, saying that I'm ugly and my personality is shit.
You don't know me, I have people who have known me for so long.
I'll let them judge themselves, hmmm, I can't please the whole wide world.
I don't want to start a drama but I always get judged starting a drama just because I'M A BLOGGER.
You all memang prejudiced lah, don't do that.
I don't want to read what she wrote about me, I also don't want to know what she said about me.
But I know she said very very bad things about me, lol, oh well...
I meant, hi, I do not follow you, you do not follow me, I don't know you, you don't know me.
You and me, two girls, we have nothing to do with each other.
I don't even follow my ex boyfriend(her boyfriend) and I don't even stay in touch with him.
I respect them because now he has a girlfriend, we don't keep in touch.
I do not understand how and why did I come into the picture.
Well, the only thing I can think now is that she kinda stalked me?
Then, that's her problem or her friends' problem.
Cause her friends probably gossiped about it with her.
Tell them "no, I don't want to know shit about her!"
(Friends play a very huge part in situations like this, it's either 火上加油 or the other way round.)





These are the examples I'm using but I'm not talking about just her, I talk in general.
Just to clarify, I speak in general, including myself.
1. Trust your partner.
You probably go furious because you assume that they have something "undone".
Ok, even if, in this case, your boyfriend's ex still misses him.
If you trust your boyfriend enough, you wouldn't even give a damn about her.
Cause you know that he will be loyal to you and will never betray you.
There's another situation that he might have a bad history.
So, well, deal with your boyfriend, why are you mad at his ex?






2. Never disregard what your partner had with his/her ex.
This is the main point I want to get it out there.
I'd say that my ex boyfriend and I had been through difficult times.
I saw him not eating, sleeping well, not talking when he lost somebody so important.
I watched him recovering, healing from hurt, step by step.
I was with him when he had his first operation.
He had his very difficult times and so happened that I was in his life at that moment.
He was the one taking pictures of me when I had my first Holy Communion.
He was the first one who brought me to the parks for walks.
He was also in my life when I was at my lowest, when I lost everything, when I had nothing.
Yes, we had bad times, we also had wonderful times.
He had seen the worst of me.
But those are what we HAD, not what we have.
He's such a pain in the ass because he had been giving me problems
even after we had broken up for years.
His ex girlfriend before this current girlfriend hated me as well (we're in good terms).
Yes, sometimes, I think back at it, you know, I'd be a little sentimental but no, it's the past.
Those are good memories, I miss the good memories, I miss him as a part of my memories.
Yeah, you might not go through the same thing with your partner like 
what your partner had gone through with his or her ex.
Accept it, accept what they had, respect what they had.






3. Think about what your partner has done right, done specially for you,
not what he/she had done for his/her ex.
Ok, I'm going to use this as an example again, but I hope they don't get offended or whatever.
He might have done this and that with me but he had never gotten me Cartier ring.
Last I know, he got them a pair of Cartier rings right after they got together.
Well, that's very nice, that's very sweet.
You know, rings are no joke, rings resemble a commitment.
So yeah, there you go, should I be jealous in this case then? No.


Another situation, I sometimes would be jealous and go like
"Have you done this with her? Have you been here with her?"
If the answer is yes, and I mind, then
"Ok, I don't want to come here anymore, let's explore new places!" :)
If I don't mind at all, then ok, let's dine here,
this restaurant is not opened just for my partner and his ex,
this park doesn't belong to my partner and his ex.






4. Do not compare yourself to your partner's ex.
Guys, don't point fingers at girls for comparing.
Guys do it a lot too.
People always say don't compare.
Somehow, I think comparing has its good and bad.
Just don't overdo it.

My ex once told me
"My ex girlfriend doesn't throw tantrum like you"
I was like "HORHHHHH, NOW YOU'RE COMPARING?!"
But then, I would think to myself
"Ok, I want to be better, I shouldn't throw tantrum like this anymore."

My ex also once told me
"My ex girlfriend has never done this to me before, thanks for the surprise."
I would feel like "fuuuuuaaa, now only you know that I'm good."
You know, you feel proud about it.





5. You're responsible for your own insecurities.
"Will he cheat on me?", "Is she sleeping with him?", "Is she still missing my man?"
You're responsible for your own insecurities, do not put it on your partner.
It's also your partner's responsibility to make you feel secured, I know, I know.
Yeh, but you're greatly responsible for it because,
if you do not trust him/her, you do not believe in the both of you,
you're not going to listen to every single shit he/she has got to say.
Ask yourself, why? Is your partner not doing enough or are you just thinking too much?

I guess the situation would be better given if I'm taken.
Too bad, I'm forever alone, so, some might feel that I still miss their boyfriend.
No, my dark knight is still on his way, not efficient, patient lah sikit.





6. The past is the past, let it go.
This sounds really cliche but yeah...
Look around you, he/she is now here with you.
He/she is sleeping next to you.
He/she is kissing you on the forehead and tell you good night.
Don't take it for granted.






I'm sorry for the overflowing sentiments but you gotta respect me that I have feelings too.
I'm a sentimental person and I'm also very 念舊.
I miss the memories and I'd say that what I had with my ex partners were all special.
It's not possible to scrape my ex boyfriends off my life, they helped me grow.
They were in different phases of my life.
I would write things about them, I might write songs about them.
(Wow, so now I want to be Taylor Swift? Lol.)
They inspired me, still inspire me because we had the love.
Love is a strange thing, it makes you feel.
It's the same as pain, quoting John Green,
"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."
Same thing as love, it demands to be felt.
Past or present, you had it or you have it.
It's something indescribable and one should never disregard "LOVE".

You're not happy about it, then just don't give a damn about me.
I don't know you, you don't know me, we have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
I don't know what it's gonna be, what kinda problem I'm gonna cause after typing this post.
There are consequences to bare with but I guess it's worth the risk.





So sick of love songs

Hola, my friends.
So, Kang Er and I recorded another song cover live last week.
Pretty sure all of you have heard of Ne-Yo before, great singer song writer.
I love Ne-Yo R&B songs, Ne-Yo is one of the must-see acts on my list.
My favourites are So Sick, Mad, One in a Millionaire, Knock You Down in collaboration with
Keri Hilson and Kanye West.
That's a classic, man.



We had some time the other day.
I was like let's make a full song cover of "So Sick".
We did a 15 seconds insta video of "So Sick" about two weeks before.
We both love that song and we know the lyrics, pretty cool.
Yeh, we set up for a bit, then we started jamming together.
I hope you like the song cover (:

Describe yourself in one word

Met some important people, successful people over the weekend.
The most impressive were two architects.
One who now runs an interior design company.
One who now runs the kitchen of a renowned restaurant.
When I use the word "renowned", it's a big deal, lol.
This post is inspired by a tea time session with them.
There's no clear direction on what I want to talk about in this post.
I'll just go with the flow and just say what I think. Just some stories for you?



Can you describe yourself using just one word? You can let me know by commenting.
I used to say "ordinary" when people ask me that.
After these years of soul searching, (kind of a nicer word for wasting time...or not)
I will now use "passionate" to describe myself.
I'm so passionate about life, sometimes over passionate.
It's not a good thing but it's not a bad thing.
Being passionate makes me feel so... greedy.
I want to be everything.
 The first ambition I had when I was a kid was to be a fashion designer, I draw a lot.
Then, I wanted to be a nurse, I told my mum that I want to go to Africa and help people.
My mum scared me off by telling me how I have to deal with blood and organs being a nurse.
Next thing I wanted to be was a dentist because it's less "gross" and I just wanted to be professional.
Someone professional like a doctor, a lawyer, my granny used to tell me that I could be a lawyer.
I guess I was really talkative and I always had the "balls" to voice things out.
你以為就這樣? I'm not done yet, 不會用這個成語不過我記得甚麼以為自己能天馬行空的.
 I went to university learning computer science, I gave that up.
Then again, I took up multimedia design, I gave that up.
I want to be a journalist, a writer, write things that touch people's heart.
I'm a qualified pastry chef because at the end of the day, realistically,
I want to run my own coffee house, that's my goal.
 That's my goal but what I didn't know that I do have a dream.
Everyday after school, primary school and high school,
I would lock myself in the study room or my room, listening to music.
It was mostly Westlife, then Jay Chou everyday, American music.
I would sing everyday and dance to it everyday BEHIND CLOSED DOOR, of course.
 Nobody knew, not even myself, I didn't know I have a superstar dream, what a joke, lol.
I figure that I'm not talented enough to be a singer.
So, maybe... I can be a radio DJ that plays cool music.
Or an off-screen music producer, woohoooooo...
講完了嗎? No, I recently feel that I can be a comedian, lol.




I met so many people over the weekend, tons of old friends and new friends.
Old friends asked "since when do you sing?"
Hell yeah, good question, I don't even know, I guess I've always been singing but...
I don't know? Thanks to Instagram and YouTube for my self-indulgence?

New friends normally say "so I heard you sing..." or "hey, you sing..."
I'm not going to lie, for people who love music,
being recognized playing music is such a great feeling.
When people tell you "I love the music you listen to, I love the music share",
oh danggggg, best feeling in this world!


Second question they normally ask me
"So, are you pursuing your music career?"
Lol, 笑掉人家的大牙, no, I don't even have a music career to begin with.
My answer is usually
"There are so many talented people in this world, I'm nothing, I won't make it anywhere."


Third question will always be
"So, when are we hitting the karaoke?"
Damn it, I'm scared of that question because people will have really high expectations
but I sound like a potato, in fact I am a potato.




The two architects are so artistic, I can't even...
Their philosophy, their theories, their perceptions... so deep... so so deep...
I'm so inspired by them, what educational tea time session, lol.
They were so into convincing me that I have to go over that barrier.
I guess I'm comfortable now, which is bad because people say that
it's a bad thing being comfortable, you need to strive for the better.
I take criticism but I can't take hate, "fame" brings hate.
Everyone at that table was like "but you're a blogger, it's unavoidable."
I said yeap, it's true but I'm not famous yet, it's okay now, it can be handled.
Yet, for people who love music, they want to get their music out there.
First thing to get your music out there, is to get famous.
I wish I can produce awesome music and get it out there, having people listening and singing to it.
I read somewhere, probably from some tabloids about Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga has been known as the crazy one.
I'm not a big fan of her pop music but what I found out was,
she loves Jazz music, she's only making pop music now to be famous,
then she'll go back to making Jazz music after she gains her popularity.
I don't know if it's true, but it's smart and she makes sacrifices.

Go back to my favourite musician - Ed Sheeran.
I fell in love with his genre of folk and acoustic music.
His first album was more to slow tempo, romantic, sentimental, original.
I don't know, I guess so, I'm not professional at analyzing music.
Little that I know he likes "black music", no racism intended, that's what they called it.
The new album "x" is more upbeat, it's more to hip hop, rap.
He wanted to make hip hop music from the start.
It's not like he doesn't like acoustic music but hip hop was his soul.
Good that we still have that piece of "Ed Sheeran" in "x".
Songs like One, Photograph and All of The Stars still had it.
I was surprised when I listened to the new album.
He also said that he wanted to get his music out there first.
That's why "+" was more commercialized to feed the majority.


My favourite from "x" is the song "Don't".
He wrote this song for a cheating almost-girlfriend.
He's so talented, he writes his music, he plays it all alone, it's just him and a loop pedal.
No drums, no backup singers to harmonize, no bass guitar, he does it all, he is a band.
He also likes to add some surprises to his live performances.
He added a touch of Chris Brown's "Loyal" in it and it never sounded so good before.
He first played this song on SNL, the beat is sick, I liked it instantly.
I replayed it until the video got removed on YouTube due copyrights issues.





 The official music video of "Don't" has been released.
I reckon you should have a look.
I don't think I'm liking the music video but...





Ed Sheeran was listed one of the most important people in black music.
He was bashed and criticized badly because he's not dark skin.
He gave a brilliant response
"Listen to music with your ears, not your eyes!"
Smart, smart comeback, smashing, haha.
It is so true.




I don't think you see a point in this post because I don't, lol.
It's just some music talk, I meant babbling.
Yeh but I just feel really lucky being recognized with music.
I feel very grateful for people who TRULY believe in me.
There are people who would go to YouTube and watch me.
There are people who would show up to my show (if I have one).
There are, these incredible people, I often feel that I don't deserve at all.



I encourage people who love music start doing it, don't waste time.

Yes, I will continue doing what I'm doing.
It might take some time to produce new tracks but I will do it.




I checked on air tickets when I got home.
So inspired, so want to be spontaneous, so want to just get that air ticket.
Pick up a bag pack and that's it, goodbye, I'm off, lol.
I'm motivated by love too.
People usually go to Paris to find love, I wonder why Paris isn't my thing.
I want to go to Edinburgh, Ireland, Santorini, Ibiza, London and more, lol.
Oh no, the list goes on and on.










Small things girls should know before getting a tattoo

$

Hi, a few of you requested me to blog about my new tattoo.
This is my second tattoo, I got my first one done when I was 18.
You might have seen it somewhere on my Instagram or Facebook.
 Jane and I have been talking about getting a matching tattoo for a very long time now.
We finally did it this year.

I don't give a shit about what you think of my tattoo.
If it's art or not art, I decide for myself.
This is more a post for the girls, I don't encourage you to get tattoos but it's your life.
I personally think that guys are tougher and they get fancier tattoos than girls,
they won't give a shit all these small things, haha.




 1. Do your research, find a good tattoo parlour/studio.
Browse through their tattoo work, read their reviews.
 If you want to know, I got both my tattoos done in Bloody Ink.
Lot F099, 1st Floor, Sungei Wang Plaza, 
50250 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.





2. Pick a tattoo artist/tattooist that you're confident with.
Previously done by Ivan, this time by Ying, she's cool and she's got steady hands! (:
I like her, she's really patient and creative. 
Just in case you want to know,
Her WeChat : yinggoh
 Instagram : ying_tattoo





3. Decide on what do you want tattooed.
 TAKE AS LONG AS YOU WANT, it's permanent, don't rush it.
Find or design something that YOU like, not what your friends like.
You can ask for opinions, take the opinions into consideration.
At the end of the day, it's all up to you because it's your life.
 
Jane and I have been thinking about what tattoo to get.
Few years back, we thought of tattooing doves that represent freedom to us.
Then, moved on my idea of "To Infinity" and "And Beyond". (So damn cheesy, lol.)
At last, we decided that we're really blessed and we both like the word, blessed.






4. Never use Google translate.
Never ever do that, consult or ask someone who knows the language.
Few of my friends got Spanish, Japanese and Korean tattooed wrongly on them.
Think about it, you will be a joke for the rest of your life.
Don't risk it.





5. Make sure that the tattooists are ethical and hygienic.
Make sure they don't reuse needles.
It's unhygienic and it might carry viruses from one body to another.

I was going to get two tattoos on that day.
Then, I decided that I needed more time to think about the third one.
I said I might come back next week.
Jane asked if they keep my needle until the next week and use it again (for me only).
My tattooist was very surprised by this question.
She said "no, of course not, we use new needles every time."
You can request for them to open the packaging of the new needle in front of you
if you don't trust them.




6. Most people think that tattoo is a bad thing, especially for girls.
I don't mind tattoos, in fact, I love tattoos, I also have a thing for guys with tattoos, wth.
I so want a tattoo on my arm and another one my collarbone but I will never get them.
I think about the future and I guess it's sort of having respect for my future partner's parents.
You know how most Asian parents deem tattoos a bad thing?
Imagine going to a family dinner and meeting your partner's family for the first time.
I don't think the tattoos give your partner's parents a good impression?
 I encourage girls to get tattoos on parts that can be covered.
Hide your tattoos, hide your tattoos, hahaha.
I meant, it's just my personal opinion, if you think getting a tattoo is to be shown,
you don't care about what people think, go ahead.






7. Pain.
It really depends, everyone's different.
It's pretty painful to me when they start pulling and sliding.
I don't even know how to explain, lol.
Tip 1 : Get your tattooist to do it slowly and hold your breath.
It doesn't hurt when you hold your breath but when you start inhaling, ho shit.
Tip 2 : If you really can't take the pain at all, use numbing cream before tattooing.
This second tattoo is so small, it's nothing.
My first tattoo was bigger and thick.
The outlining was painful but filling in with black ink was more painful.
They use a thicker needle to fill the space with black ink after outlining.





8. Is it addictive?
To me, yes, it is addictive.





9. If you think you might regret it, DON'T DO IT.
I was like "I want to get this tattoo here and there but I might regret it!"
No, don't do it if you have second thought, that's why I didn't do the third one.
I walked in for the second one, I know I want it, I want it and I got it.
Be sure about it.





10. Try not to tattoo anything for/about other people but yourself.
My first tattoo is my mum's name, I guess family is ok, they are forever.
I will so get a matching tattoo with my future married partner if he wants one.
I will also get my child's name tattooed on me if I have one in the future, lol.
They are family, they are forever.
I know you might marry your current partner but you might not too. (not cursing)
You might be best friends with your friend now but you might not be in the future. (not cursing)
I don't know man, is this thinking too conservative? I hope not for a Chinese.
 Matching tattoos are alright, tattooing names though... too risky.

Yeh, Jane and I got a matching tattoo, we somehow did it for each other.
We mostly did it for ourselves because we both love the tattoo that we got.
Imagine she got my name tattooed and I got her name tattooed.
Erm, eww, no, just to remind you again that we're straighter than the pole, lol.
We haven't been friends for a very long time too, only 8 years and counting.
I guess, don't get a matching tattoo with your friend if 
you both haven't been friends for more than 8 years? Hahaha, just joking.






11. After care.
This tiny tattoo was nothing, just needed to apply some ointment provided.
My first tattoo bled quite a lot and I had to cut down on eating certain food.
Your tattooist will inform you about not eating peanuts, eggs, seafood+ for a week.




I guess that's all.
Don't think it's very useful but... whatever, lol.






Skin pampering of the month

Today, I'm going to blog about Mon Amour skincare.
www.monamourskincare.com
I first know of this brand when I slept over my girl friend's place.
I didn't bring my own skincare products and I had to use hers.
All I can remember is that Mon Amour smells good, haha.





Anyway, I use the skincare products before I do a review about it.
I've been using whole range of Mon Amour products for more than 2 weeks now.
I don't know if you know that I'm a fan of snail cream.
The snail cream I used before came from Thailand and Korea.
Mon Amour is a product of France, 100% natural ingredients.
It uses a secret Snail formula that heals wounds and scars, also improves skin condition.
More information on Mon Amour's Facebook.

Lol, Alicia is on their TVC!









Mon Amour actually means "my love" in French.
Haha, I just thought it was interesting...
As usual, cleanser, toner, moisturizer and mask are basic necessities nowadays.
Mon Amour Snail Mucin Toner, Facial Treatment Cleanser, Hydrate Moisturizer, Collagen Gel Mask.








Snail Mucin Facial Treatment Cleanser.
I like how it's easily washed off, unlike some other face wash that takes forever to be rinsed off.
It helps unclogging pores and helps preventing acne.








I always liked to skip the step of applying toner and I shouldn't anymore.
 Snail Mucin Active Toner contains natural oil fighting formula and helps tightening pores.
I like the pump-like packaging, easy to be used.
Just give the toner a few pumps and use a cotton pad.
I often use a cotton pad to see how clogged my pores are and how I cleaned them up.
You can see the black impurities on the cotton pad, thanks to the terrible haze in Malaysia.








Hydrate Moisturizer and Snail Collagen Gel Mask.
 Hydrate moisturizer is an age-defence moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated all day.
 Snail Collagen Gel Mask is an anti-aging, anti-wrinkles mask that allows skin rejuvenation.
I drink collagen everyday for beauty and health purposes.
Might as well just apply it on my face, GIVE ME ALL THE COLLAGEN!

How to use Snail Collagen Gel Mask?
Thoroughly clean and dry face before applying.
Lie back and relax for 30 minutes, then rinse it off with water.
You can refrigerate the Gel Mask for cool facial spa treatment.
I tried this myself and I love it, very cooling and refreshing.







I love the texture of Mon Amour products.
They are soft and smooth.
It's not the rich-cream texture like but in fact, rich in vitamins needed.







Feel like the pores on my skin have been tightened.
My face smells really good too, haha!









You can get Mon Amour skincare products directly from the official distributor.

Hmmmm, I have so much in mind.
I don't know how to put them in words.
Let me have my music therapy and driving therapy.
Lol, I think a lot when I drive.



Let's do a casual posting today.
I'm sick again.
How many times have I been sick this year?
Why? What a "sick" year!
I can't sing, my nose is blocked (It's not like I can sing when my nose isn't blocked, haha)
Sore throat, cough, runny nose, disgusting mucus, lol.
I popped panadols yesterday, didn't work.
I went to the pharmacy to get some flu medicine today.
I'm not feeling any better.




Went for a meeting with Jane the other day.
I like coffee and I like to chill at coffee places. I feel so old.
Anyway, didn't get any pictures of the coffee and cakes on my camera.
Dayummmm, but I got one on Instagram.
I spilled my coffee and I came up with a quote.
OMG, I'm a genius, lol.

 Coffee place : Feeka in Changkat.






We both felt really lazy, it was a Saturday.
No idea why. Just pulled on a white tee and shorts.
Lazy or casual? 傻傻分不清楚
 
Just doing the blogger thang.
"Is this pose okay?"






"Erm, hunch your back!"
"Lol, ok."






I love my new shoes, I meant creepers.
 I got them at Topshop in Sydney.
Soooooo prettayyyyyyyyyy to me.





 We headed to Pavilion because Nana wanted to have dinner together.
We didn't know what to do while waiting for the princess.
We had 2 cups of coffee before, so it was enough of caffeine.
I said let's hide out in the bookstore, I really like to do that, lol.






Bumped into more than 5 readers who asked for a picture that day.
It was crazy and overwhelming.
Met one, she's really cute.
She came and said hi, then she stared at us for 5 seconds without saying anything.
Cutest person ever.
 I'm such a lucky person, I get to make people happy for 5 minutes sometimes.
Wow, ultra-blessed.





Lucky girl is feeling lucky.
Thank you all, xx.






Youth is wasted on the young

I'm supposed to do my work now.
I don't know what I'm doing here.
I went to Jordan Belfort's seminar today.
I saw young people everywhere, like really young, younger than me, lol.
This world is changing.
Our pace is getting faster and faster.
The young ones are becoming more capable and they are eager to succeed.



I don't have many friends.
My girl friends are on track, have their own life, doing the adult stuff.
A friend of mine who was "famous" in our school because we were seniors.
He used to sit beside me, he pretty much copied 98% of my homework, lol.
He liked bullying me, wasn't real bullying, he loved teasing me and shit..
(You know the high school stuff, lol.)
Although he liked to make fun of me but he was the one who stood by me all the time.
Nobody sat with me for lunch, he did.
He was there for me, he recently just came back from the UK after graduating.
Time flies, so fast, so so so fast, he's back for good.
Yesterday, I was in high school getting "bullied" and today, I'm outside fighting for life.
He just flew off to India and he will be flying to Sri Lanka after two weeks in India.
I don't know why, I just feel so PROUD of him, I'm so proud.
Yesterday, he was the captain of blue house and today, he's a business man.
So proud, so so proud.
 I just realized that we are all grown ups now.
I meant, I know I am a grown up since eighteen but sometimes people don't accept it.
Some people will say that I have plenty of time because I'm at my twenties.
 I always feel like I'm not doing enough for my age.
I have a big goal to hit and I have a big dream to chase after.
I have no time and I need more time.
1. Don't waste time.
Fill your every day with something.
Fill it in with something, anything.
 If you're free for the day, go for coffee with friends, read a book, go jogging.
Do something about it.


2. Sleep is not for the weak.
People say sleep is for the weak.
It's true that we need to full utilize our time but no, it's absolutely wrong to say sleep is for the weak.
I rather sleep, I love to sleep, if I can, if I could.
I hate it when my brain, my neurons won't stop working at late night.



3. There's no such thing is "I CAN'T SLEEP".
Yeh, I can't sleep sometimes, I couldn't sleep last night.
If you can't sleep, it means you're not tired enough.
My sister sleeps at 10pm every freaking day because she gets up early for work.
She's tired, she sleeps, she can sleep, she falls asleep easily, she sleeps early because she's really tired.
Don't believe? Try being up since 6am and work through the day (not asking you to slack all day).
Work, work, work, have dinner, some music, shower, some work or entertainment.
Tell me if you can't sleep, then that's really insomnia, consult your doctor, thanks.



4. Worrying is for the weak.
Haha, I'm guilty of this.
I worry so much, I keep thinking, thinking and thinking.
That's why I can't sleep.
That leads to the next point.



5. Be mentally strong.
Lol, how to be mentally strong?
No, I don't have an answer for you.
You need to experience it yourself, then you'll know.
How to experience it?
NEVER DEPEND ON ANYBODY.
 Do everything yourself, do everything on your own.
That's where you learn independence and you'll be strong.




What is this shit? Lol.
I suddenly feel like I'm a motivational speaker.
I don't even know if my points even made sense.




Today's song will be Lost Stars by Adam Levine.
My friend first let me listen to Keira Knightley's version, I thought it was okay.
Another friend told me to listen to this song again, by Adam Levine.
I searched for it, I found it really familiar, then I recalled it's the same song.
Now you see, every singer sings differently.
I like Adam Levine's soulful high pitch voice for the bridge of the song.
"So much feels......"
 This song wasn't written by Adam Levine, but it was written for a movie.
It's so well written, it's very well composed.
It is the original soundtrack for the movie "Begin Again".


 "Please don't see, just boy caught up in dreams and fantasies"
The first line of the song has already given me goosebumps.
What I perceived from the lyrics and watching the video clip was
a young man works very hard to chase after his dream,
at the same time, missing a relationship with a woman who stood by him through thick and thin.
So much to say about this song but I think I should go to bed.
Can't believe I took almost two hours to type this post, it's not that easy, kay?
I leave it to you to think about it, every song touches people's heart differently.
Think about life, think about time, appreciation, think about the person you love.

Good night, xx.










MTV Worls Stage Malaysia 2014

Just sipping on Sailor Jerry cocktail.





MTV World Stage is back in Malaysia again!
Lineups included Thaitanium, Boys Republic, Yuna and B.O.B.
Thanks to Sailor Jerry for the VIP invites!!!







My friends and I went early just for some Carribean spiced rum.
Sailor Jerry Spiced is blended with 100% natural spices and flavours.
It's inspired by the American tattoo legend Norman 'Sailor Jerry' Collins.
I really love how they package and present their brand, as you know I drink and I love tattoos.
Sailor Jerry made its debut to the Malaysian market via MTV World Stage Malaysia 2014.
(Well, I had Sailor Jerry all the time when I was studying in Aussie :x)
Anyway, Sailor Jerry is finally here in Malaysia.
They are one of the main sponsors for MTV World Stage Malaysia 2014.








I was very impressed with their booth set up near the stage, coolest set up ever!
Embodies the independent spirit and unapologetic attitude of the rum's namesake
who was noted for saying "my work speaks for itself".
Two words, wicked cool.





Sailor Jerry supports originality and individuals who express themselves creatively.
Yup, me, talking about me, absolutely me, hahahaha.

Tattoo anybody?






Cheers, guys and girls!





Great performances done by Thaitanium and Boys Republic.
They took on the stage first.

It was then Yuna who came on, I screamed my lungs out!
Always rooting for our local star, I look up to her, I want to be like her.
She succeeded, she made it in the UK and the US.
Love her music, lover her personality, love her elegant looks.
So proud of Yuna, MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!
I was hoping that she would sing Lullaby.







"Beautiful girls, all over the world, I could be chasing
but my time would be wasted, cause they got nothing on you..."
"NO-NO-NO-NOTHING ON YOU BABY..."
 Give it up for B . O . B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






We had a really good time!
We rocked from noon till late night (:






That's just how we do!

How's everyone doing?
Sorry for the inefficiency, here's a random post for you.
I've been busy, not cool with it because it's not productive enough to me.
I want it and I need it to be ultra productive.
(I notice that I like to use the word "ultra" recently, lol)
Anyway, I've also been sick, not sick-sick now, it's just that I'm not fully recovering.
I can't jam, I can't sing, if you actually notice that I haven't been really making singing instavideos.
I don't control what I eat with the skinny gene I have, definitely not bragging, it's true.
I take my throat and my body for granted.
I'VE BEEN TRYING very hard to cut down on fried food.
Ok, not very hard, come on, at least I'm trying.
Everyone should know by now that my favourite food is fried chicken, lol.





I flew to Singapore alone last 2 days for work.
It was hectic and... pretty scary.
I wanted to look for my Singaporean friends but I decided that I really needed some rest.
So, I stayed in my hotel room and slept at 10pm.
I constantly woke up between hours, I don't know why.
Mum randomly called me at 2am, she called to ask if I'm okay.
I was like yeh, mum, it's 2am, are you out of your mind? Go to bed, mum.
Guess she suddenly missed me or she had a nightmare, just doing her mother thing.
 The thing is I did inform her when I landed and when I reached the hotel.
She called me at 2am, lol. She. Called. Me. At. 2am.
I think I'm happy that she called.
She didn't say anything but I felt her tough love.
My mum seldom makes me feel this way.
She's just... tough. So. Tough.

I normally take the aisle seat but I love the window seat sometimes.






Anyway, got up at 7.30am to get ready for the photoshoot and videoshoot.
Pain of the month struck sharp at 8am.
Come, I clap for you, uterus, what a great job you've done.
I felt like a corpse throughout the whole day.
I didn't even bother taking any pictures of myself at the shoot.
Wait... I did.
Helloz? Yez? Potato I iz.
Oh my, I looked ultra terrible.




ps : photographer of the day looks like John Legend.
I find that really amusing, I'm easily amused, so amused, lol.
I just wanted to burst out in laughter when I looked at him but I kept it cool...
Ya know? Just tryna keep it cool, keep it professional yo! 
Lol, rushed to the airport, rushed back home.



Here I am, getting tortured by my uterus now.
I think I invented new Yoga positions today, lol.
Thank goodness, I got a full day of rest.
I feel so much better but still, not cool, uterus, not cool, I do not like you when you do that war.
 Ok, too much.
I should sleep, love you all, xx.









Not happy? Do something!

I guess you already know that I'm not confident with my outlook.
That's why I spend so much on "fixing the insides" than "fixing the outsides".
I emphasize on building inner beauty because I do not have the outer beauty, LOL.
I wasn't born pretty, I wear make up when I go out, I also used to wear super thick make up.
I know you must be thinking "but you take pictures of yourself everyday..."
Lol, I do because that's my job, it's my job to be vain sometimes.

 Nice people always tell me that appearances don't matter.
It's not true though, I was nearly convinced.
Yet, in this real world, appearances matter... A LOT.

 When my friends asked me "hey, wanna watch Ju-on?"
I said "no, I see Ju-on everyday in the mirror after I remove my make up!"
It's just my humour, I say things to make my friends laugh but yeh, I honestly feel so.
My friends hate it and told me not to think so negatively about myself.
"If you're not happy about it, do something about it!"
 I guess I haven't fully given up on myself.
I dyed my hair back to black, I cut my hair.
I spent on skin care, I got my eyebrows embroidered.
I work out, try to be healthier and gain more weight.



I was really against aesthetics at first.
Then, I was convinced to inject fillers to get rid of my eye bags.
 It worked, I'm not going to get "scientific" here because I'm sharing my personal experience.
Derma fillers are not permanent, they last for 8 months to 18 months.
(Depending on brands of fillers.)
They are collagen to be injected in different parts of our face to 
enhance our features and to create a more proportional face.
I signed up with Skinartesse Heart Face treatment at Skin Art Clinic.

Skin Art Clinic
D3-G4-8, Publika,
Solaris Dutamas, 
50480 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.





Why Skin Art Clinic?
It's very simple, I go there for Dr.Rachel Chew.
I heard of and have known of Dr. Rachel Chew even before I met her.
Most of my friends go to Skin Art Clinic and they are getting prettier and prettier.
 It's very important to find a QUALIFIED, SKILLED, ARTISTIC doctor like Dr.Rachel.
Dr.Rachel was a singer, an artist before she went into medicine.
She chose the aesthetic line because it's the closest to art in medicine.
This is not very relevant but what I want to say is...
People say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", I like Dr.Rachel as a beholder.
我喜歡Dr.Rachel的審美觀.
Ethical, fully licensed, only use high quality products.



What's Skinartesse Heart Face treatment?
You must be wondering "which part did you inject? how much did you inject?"
Everyone is different, I can't tell you what you need, you know yourself.
Btw, consultation is free, go and ask Dr.Rachel Chew, she can help you, she's professional.
Skinartesse is a treatment to enhance your face as a whole/in overall.
I had a little bit here and there because my problem is that I have a SUNKEN FACE.
I'm really skinny, my temples, my cheeks and my face, they are all sunken.


 Before, look how sunken my right temple was.





After, ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaa, you can already see the instant result.
Notice the upward movement of my left eyebrow?
It's not the final result though, my temples will look even better days after, I can't wait!





I didn't like taking pictures from the side of my face because my features weren't outstanding.
As I said, my biggest problem is my sunken face and my chin.
I wanted to fix them all in one visit.
Doctor advised me to take it slow, don't rush it.

I love my side portraits now.
Skinartesse helped enhancing my features and made it more 3D like.
Day 3 after Skinartesse.







Day 7 after Skinartesse.
OMG, I like taking pictures from the side now :D





I'll try to improve my appearance step by step without having to go through surgery.
I'll be really patient, I'm satisfied with the upper part of my face.
I'll go for the second visit to "beautify" the lower part of my face that will be my chin and jawline.

Natural make up look

Hello, everyone.
I'm going to do the girls' favourite, makeup review!
I haven't shopped for cosmetics for a while now.
Guess what just arrived at my doorsteps last week?

I wonder what are these silver boxes?






RMK Autumn Winter Collection 2014
"Power of Love"
Love love love the futuristic, classy and elegant packaging!
It's indeed a range of makeup combining elegance with strength through
the subtle contrasts of colour and light.






What comes to your mind when I mention RMK?
When I think about RMK, I think about a "natural beauty" look.
RMK is a unique line of cosmetics deeply rooted in the make up artistry of New York.
It is then brought to life in the dedicated laboratories in Japan.
That's what I'm talking about, a bit of the Western influence and the Asian influence.
Sounds perfect to me (:
 RMK believes that makeup exists to express individuality and 
to create looks that speak of modern sensuality.


RMK is available at Parkson, Pavilion, Isetan KLCC and Isetan The Gardens.
Let's start with the foundation.
RMK Creamy Foundation N.
I use the lightest shade 101, you can go for a more pinkish lightest shade 201.
I must use a foundation with a SPF because I often skip using sun block.
It's not good to skip using sun block but my foundation offers a SPF28.

It is as rich and creamy as it seems, not sticky at all.



It gives my skin a polished look.





Moving on to the eyes part including eyebrow pencil, eyebrow powder, eyeliner and mascara.
RMK W Eyebrow Pencil and Powder.
I normally line my eyebrows using eyebrow pencil, especially at the head and tail of my brows.
Then, I fill my eyebrows in with eyebrow powder to create a soft and natural look.










RMK Matte Mascara.
As you all know, I always go for the thick mascara, I stopped using fake lashes.
I go for the "W" brush of RMK Matte Mascara that offers volumic and dramatic eyelashes.






RMK Matte Shiny Eye Pencil.
Wow, I love this eye pencil, very impressive.
You get the matte crayon and a shining finish applicator in one.
I don't need to bring my bulky eyeshadow out now, just use this pencil.






Showing off my eyelashes, is it vain? :D





Last but not least, a touch of blusher and lip gloss.
RMK Matte Shiny Cheeks.
Uh, the packaging is so cute, I just wanted to keep it and not use it, haha!
It combines two different textures, matte and shiny.
It gives you matte textured pink yielding a little soft-glow cheeks.
That creates a natural look without a shining cheeks with shiny shimmers but glowing cheeks.

RMK Shiny Sheer Gloss.
Loving the feather light texture that incorporates a subtle sheen.





Haha, I still like to do my eyeliner like that.
What do you think? Not natural enough? Ok natural? Natural? Lol.






Ok, let me give you a natural smile to make it more "natural".
Get confident with RMK! :)

I honestly think it's harder to be a woman.
Skip the period and pregnancy parts.
Do guys have to use pantyliners? NO!
Do girls have to use pantyliners? YES!

I often worry about hygiene because some say using pantyliner gets more bacteria.
Some pantyliners are so uncomfortable and they get damped so easily.
It's not true, using pantyliner helps prevent the growth of bacterias and yeasts.
I personally won't use one pantyliner for the whole day.
I always have extra pantyliners kept in my bag, so I can change it anytime.
Kotex Fresh Plus liners have 3x defense against bacteria, yeast and odour.
Kotex Fresh Plus comes in 3 types, Ultra V-Care, Gentle Care and Designs.
I love the breathability function that makes it more comfortable to wear. 




Kotex came up with #Kotex1MinSelfV contest to raise awareness of V-zone care.
It's very creative, Kotex gives you tips on taking nice #SelfV in just 1 minute.
1. Find the best angle for yourself.
For me, the angle from my left is the best angle.
I prefer the left side of my face more, lol.


2. Make sure your background/backdrop is pretty.
You don't want to capture a #SelfV with your friend behind picking his/her nose, lol.




3. FIND THE LIGHT!
It depends, sometimes you want to face the sunlight.
Sometimes it's nice, when the sunlight shines through from behind.





4. Think of a good caption.
I normally use quotes or lyrics of songs for my caption.

Hi, how are you?
I hope you're doing very well.
If you ask me, I'm fine, I'm so fine, very, fine.
Just an update about me, (if you ever are interested to know, lol).
I've been very happy, so happy.
I feel like I've never been happier.
I feel so... alive.
Work's great, from Singapore to Indonesia, Johor Bahru and Penang is next.
Friends are awesome, family is fine.
What more can I ask for?



I still fear.
I fear being too happy and one day it's all going to tumble down.
You know how life does the "hey, wait a minute" thing?
I'm a person who thinks a tad bit more than other people, lol.
I often feel that I don't deserve or it's just too good to be true.
Everyone tells me to enjoy the moment.
Yeh man, you bet I enjoy every second of it.



I have no trouble sleeping, no trouble at all.
It's amazing how I sleep so well and I'm so happy about it.

I thank Dr Rachel Chew for my boost of confidence.
Then, I realized that I feel prettier now because I'm so happy.
 My eye bags are showing again but I don't freaking care now.
I tend to wear less make up because I feel more comfortable with myself.
I hardly smile showing my teeth but now I laugh happily.
It's from the heart.
朋友都說我春光滿面 哈哈 真的開心






I guess it's my turn to feel happy.
My friends are very happy for me and I'm happy for that.
Lol, this post is all about being happy, sorry if I was boring you, lol.





Not a beauty and not a beast

I've been up really early recently.
I get up around 7 every morning, I guess my subconsciousness wakes me.
Been getting morning texts lately (only lately), wuiyo, morning texts, I know right *grins*.
How lucky...... lol, not going to last long but yeh, you know, just enjoy the moment!
Normally I go back to sleep, about 2 hours more of sleep.
I start my day at 9am everyday.



Mum has been going to the morning market without bringing my nephew along.
She used to bring him along because he was really clingy.
He's alright now, he's more independent.
I expect him to cry and look for his granny around 7.45am every day now, lol.
Then, I'll say"don't cry, come in, yiyi's(aunty's) here".
He would cry and climb onto bed with me.
That's also why I sleep for another 2 hours because I'm lazy to take care of him.
So, we will just sleep (:
 Ahhhh, he was a baby, now he's a toddler.
I love that boy, I always hug him and tell him "I love you" before I go out.
He says it back too, so cute, "bye, yiyi, love you".

"Waynn, cover your eyes with your hands, yiyi's taking a picture"





He gets up, we watch Disney =,=
His favourite show is Hi5, lol.
My mum forbids us from watching Spongebob Squarepants or Adventure Time++.
She deems them unsuitable for my nephew, hence, I'm not allowed to watch, what?!
Guess what was showing today?
Beauty and the Beast.
This fairytale though... I couldn't even remember how it goes.
I watched the second half of it this morning.
Wow, old as gold, I used to love the teacup so much.
I used to only drink water from my little teacup when I was a kid.

I don't like how people make fun of this fairytale.
Saying that Belle falls for a beast because he is rich and lives in a big castle.
Uh, so sick of that mentality.
 The world is so sick that money has become such a big factor.
Everyone believes in money, nobody believes in true love.
I always believe in true love but I don't believe in finding it myself.
Is there a difference? Lol, girl doing the contradicting thing again.



 Those people are too lucky.
To find someone you love and he/she loves you back.
There are perfect men around me, they are not perfect but they are perfect for me.
Yet, not everyone can click.
Not everyone can keep a conversation going.
Not everyone can get attracted by your smile.
Why? We have so much in common, we are perfect together.
Why won't it work?

Weird, so weird, this thing called love or attraction, so weird.





If you ever find someone so beautiful to you, don't let her/him go.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
We should appreciate what's pleasant to our eyes, not other people's eyes.
You think he/she is beautiful, just hold on there, there's something going on.





 Yeh, I'm sure that you're smart and intelligent but..
If he/she is smarter than you in a way that impresses you, accept it.
Don't feel pressured just because he/she is smarter.
Smarter in the common sense way, ok, maybe the knowledge way too.
I guess common sense is more important, it's not going to work if both don't share common values.
A smart other half nurtures you, will probably be a good father/mother to your future children.
 




 Sincerity is so important to me.
I can't accept people who are not sincere to me, that's it.
Sincerity..., how sincere is he, how sincere is she?
Does he/she love you with all of his/ her heart?
This makes me sound clingy but I'm not clingy.
You just gotta convince me that you love me and I'm sure that you sincerely love me.
I'll let you go, you do your thing, just make sure you know that..
I am home, you come home.
Nothing feels better than home, you don't leave home.





He/she is strong but definitely has another side JUST for you.
I love a man who is strong and firm outside but is the biggest kid in front of you.
It's sometimes annoying when he acts like a kid but you secretly adore that part of him.
You just hope it never changes and you don't want to share that trait of his with others.





Compromises, commitments.
People are scared of settling down and missing out "fun things" in the outside world.
I'm more a domestic person, I guess I'm boring.
Always wanting to get married early.
Friends tell me that I'll slowly change my mind.
I guess it's slowly affecting me.
Seeing friends' life getting screwed up, the cheating, the betrayal, the irresponsibility.
The adult world is scary.
Settling down doesn't mean missing out the fun things.
You just gotta be passionate about life, that's it.





I always say that I believe in true love but I guess I don't really believe in it.
I don't know. I haven't met someone who sees me very specially.
Even if I do, if I did, I don't think I'll ever believe it, I'm not convinced.
Not convinced that someone would just treasure a person for what he/she is.
That's the thing, it's shitty, I don't even know how to explain.
If I ever meet that someone, the first thing I'll tell him is to
"please don't break me"




One day, you will find the beast that is not "beasty" to you.
One day, you will find the beauty that is not all beautiful to you.
Yet, he/she means the world to you.




This song gives me goosebumps.







What babbling...

Work and travelling

That hair though...
Lol, just done a photoshoot and videoshoot in Singapore.
No time for my hair, just wanted to go home.






I've been travelling so much.
I often travel for work, mostly short trips.
Rimowa is my best buddy when it comes to travelling.
I love my Rimowa luggage, it makes my life easier.
I used to hate packing because I don't know how to and it is always too small for everything.
Have no problem packing now with Rimowa, I travel light but not too light.
My Rimowa luggage might look small but it can fit my whole wardrobe, lol.







I got my Rimowa luggage in Rimowa, The Garden's.
There's another branch in Pavilion, KL.
For more information, please go to www.rimowa.com



 I went for the cabin size because I like to do everything fast.
I also don't like checking in luggage.
So, I normally bring it with me and just put it in the overhead compartment.
I don't have to wait for luggage too (when I reach the next destination).

 Let's roll with grooves.







Yup, I fit 4 days of clothes and daily necessity in such a small luggage.
It really is very spacious.
My friends don't understand how I travel so light.
It's just illusion, this luggage is packed with everything needed!







I find myself taking pictures of my Rimowa luggage a lot.
Lol, I think it looks too pretty.
It looks slick, stylish and sexy, plus it's strong as steel.
Best for the superwomen to use.
Am I saying I'm a superwoman? Lolllllll.






Work and travelling might look fun but trust me, it's not easy at all.
Especially when you need to go to a foreign country alone.
Thanks Rimowa for making my life easier.

You're only 4 months old but you've been to 4 countries and 3 states with me.
I hope I can bring you all around the world (:







Straight hair?

My problem everyday - styling my hair.
 This picture of my hair doesn't look that bad because
I cheated with applying some hair cream and blow drying.
You hardly see me in straight hair because I don't have straight hair and
I also don't have a straightener, lol.
Why can't I just have straight and silky hair right after shampooing?
That will save me a lot of hassle.





How to have straight hair?
Use a book as straightener?







What? It doesn't work?
Use a bigger and thicker book? Lol.





Just keep combing...
Keep combing...
My hair keeps falling if I do this! :(







 The leading hair care brand, Sunsilk is launching a new product range.
Sunsilk Perfect Straight Shampoo and Sunsilk Perfect Straight Conditioner
This variant is special as it contains Sunsilk's proprietary Straight Lock technology™.
Co-created with Yuko Yamashita, the straight hair expert from Tokyo.
It keeps your hair beautifully straight and aligned as it dries.



Yes, it's perfect for me and it's my saviour.







Besides straight and well aligned hair, Sunsilk Perfect Straight helps to prevent frizziness.
It also improves manageability of hair for beautifully neat appearance.

What I find even cooler is that you don't even need to blow dry for straight hair.
After using Sunsilk Perfect Straight shampoo and conditioner, just leave your hair to dry.
Of course, you can towel dry it before you let it dry naturally.


Ta-daaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!





That confidence with the straight and smooth hair though...
