Shop-pink!!!

Typically, any girl likes pink. I grew up loving pink too but still my favourite color is purple. The lighter shade of purple, perhaps Lavendar. Anyhow, pink still attracts me too.

Lately I realized that I've fallen in love with the color pink all over again. Thus explains my cravings for all things pink.

Currently mission=shoe hunting for a lovely pink sandal.

In the mean time, I've discovered some pretty interesting handbags.....all in PINK!!!



Corduroy/crochet bag
$30.00 $9.99
This is oh so lovely and its cheap too.


Cannister Handbag Heel/Purses PINK
$29.99 $20.99


Women's THE SAK Bali Satchel 100350
$83.95
Now this looks like a pretty fun bag to carry.


The Sak Modern Classics Minettes Satchel - Multi Color
$40.00



Loop Design's Popsicle Train,Bags for Women
$28.00
Incidentally, while browsing, i came across this pretty bag that reminded me of a couple of cosmetic pouches i owned long long time ago. It looked exactly like this but with strawberry prints which is in red and white background. I have a couple of others too with different sizes. 1 in baby blue, another in pink....Hmmm...why do I have so many of em?? Mom?

Lash Discovery!! What a discovery!!

The MAN brought me to 1Utama on Wednesday to "pak toh"(go on a date) since is been so long since we went out and have a decent time together.

While i was there, i went to Jaya Jusco for a "brisk walk" hah....or maybe its "brisk shop"....Ya...drop The Man at the new Times bookshop and went over to jusco to look-see.

Well, i was at the Maybelline counter and i thought of checking out the Mascaras they have. I'm not much of a Mascara person you see. I actually hate putting on mascara's. All the mascara's i've bought before have never been used more than 10 times, each. What a waste isn't it??!!! heh...can't help it. I just find that Mascara's have ALOT of room for improvement. It still havent evolved to what i think a mascara should be. Mascara's are just sooooo terribly difficult to apply and almost always smudge. Therefore i only put on mascara's on special occasion where i need to dress up a little more.

Now, while i was at the maybelline counter, i've discovered a great product.

Tahh dahhh!!! Maybelline Lash Discovery. What a discovery!!! Eureka!!!haha
Whats so great about it is that it comes with a Minibrush. It makes application sososo much easier and minimizes the smudging. Plus, I bought the one which is "waterproof". I swear its the best invention ever!!! (at this point of time at least). You gals must trust me on this. Go ahead and try it. Only RM21.90. (approx USD 6).

Why I hate Hotmail?? I'll tell you why...

I still have friends who uses Hotmail (HM). I personally can't stand HM. I've been trying to convert this particular friend of mine frm Hotmailism to Gmailism. Apparently she's toooooooooo lazy to sign-up and thus resulting to many of our email circulations been bounced back by her hotmail when it exceeds the quota. Ya we spam each other alot with pictures of our friends weddings and so on.

Now, I still have my HM account. Ya, i'm not forgetting my roots and yes HM was the first to provide free web-based email and of course I jumped into the bandwagon a decade ago. But they suck bigtime. It was fine 10 years ago but what made me HATE HATE HATE HM so much is an incident that happened a couple of years ago.

You see, HM gives you a very little space. Even now my HM account still shows 2Mb God knows why they havent automatically inceased the size for me but who cares now that i have my Gmail.

I have been using my HM since schooldays and I usually keep most of my treasured emails and delete off all the trash and junkmails. With limited space such as 2 MB, i cant afford to keep alot of my emails thus i have been very very selective and to only keep emails that i reaaaalllyyy treasure and reaaaaalllyyyy mean alot to me such as Valentines day wishes from various admirers that i used to have feelings for.......emails from the ex, emails and love letters from my admirers.....Man, girls dig these stuffs and we like to keep them. Eventhough we may not have feelings for these ppl anymore but we like to keep them to remind ourselves that we are loved and treasured. Also, these emails contains personal information such as the EMAIL ADDRESS of these wonderful ppl. Who knows I may still wanna send greetings to these ppl or even invite them to my soon to be held wedding?!!!

Well, HM one fine day decided that "ok, since these ppl never like to clean up their mess and we are too stingy to grant them more space. Let us help them do some spring cleaning and clear-up all their old emails when they approach their given limit" Good idea??!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAD IDEA!!!!! BAD BAD BAD!

HM decided that once their users exceed their given 2MB and when they still have emails in queue to come in, HM with built in "INTELLIGENCE" will automatically DELETE OFF ALL YOUR OLD EMAILS to make space for your incomming emails, even if they were SPAM. How "SMART" of them right????!!!!

Shit happens with HM. Apparently they "thought" that they were innovative enough to "intelligize" HM but it is such a big mistake. One day, a friend of mine decided to send me some huge worthless file about the size of 1over MB. And i hadn't been checking my HM so i did not know about it. HM then decided to take things into its own hand and help me delete off all my 10 years worth of treasured emails just to make enough space for this TRASH email. Arrggh!!!!!!! talking about it still make me fume with fire!!! There goes my emails, till now i havent been able to contact some of my friends cos i dont have their email anymore. Those engineers in HM really have no logic at all. I really cant explain how mad i was.

I dont want to talk about it anymore. Just Boycott hotmail.

Acne, Pimples, Blemishes...Whatever you call it

I was suprised recently my friend who currently works in UK told me that she is suffering from pimple outbreaks. Now, i may be wrong but I've always associated pimple outbreaks with the weather, food, blood.....especially the weather. I mean we are in our late 20s and it cant be puberty???!!!! Thus I've always admired people who stays in countries far away from the equator. Especially like the Japanese and Koreans where they have natural rosy cheeks. And i never thought ppl who live in the western countries suffers from pimple problems.....oh well Britney Spears did shed some light to me when i saw some of her pics with terrible outbreaks. I was like...."Americans have pimples?? why on earth would they have pimples when their summer is hardly even 30 deg?? " Always thought most of western ppl suffers from freckles instead.

Believe me i have my fair share of pimple outbreaks. In junior secondary school , I was admired by most of my friends for being "spotless". Ya my face was as smooth as the baby's bottom back then when most of them already looked like walking volcanos....... Then i reach 16. It wasnt that bad.....had pimples here and there but not too bad.

The worst outbreak happened between the age of 19-21. Man i've never felt so ugly in my whole life!!!
I have no idea what was the reason behind it but that was the time that my confidence level was all time low. I dont look at people straight in the eye when i talk to them, I tried to use my lustrious hair to cover my face (just imagine Violet from Incredibles). When i have outbreaks on the forehead, I'll try to cut some fringe to cover-up. I never walk out of the house without putting on make-up.... I walk with my head down....etc.....etc.....etc....
It was pretty awfull. I hated being me. It was in fact just a self-inferiority complex thing. Nothing was wrong with me and i still have like 10 or so admirers in college after me but i cant find myself to accept any of them....I just felt Ugly. (.....to be continued)


I'll continue the story again another day cos I need to work. But today, Id like to recommend 2 products to use when you need a quick fix to cover-up those unsightly pimples. It works wonders. I'll Do a sequal to recommend some better products for skin-care.

1. Loreal Touche Magique

I bought this from Loreal, Its really easy to apply with the brush, just dap on a few dots and spread it evenly covering the blemish spots. Works well for scars. Not very expensive. Less than RM30.



I bought The Cover Stick from The Body Shop too as a concealer. I love this better because of the texture of the concealer which is thicker and cover better. Application is done easily, just spread some across the spots and dap untill its even. Very easy to bring along anywhere and pretty cheap too. Sorry i cant remember the price exactly.

The Royal Wedding - My 2 cents


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4428161.stm


I have a feeling most British dont welcome Camilla into the Royal Family.

Anyhow, personally I see it as a happy ending to a long-suffering relationship.
Prince Charles actually got to know Camilla long before he knew Diana. Even though Diana was the young and most gorgeous royalty, deep inside the Prince loved Camilla. She was his first love and she was the one he clicked with. Being royalty means that you dont get things your way thus naturally obeying the will of the mother, the Prince married Lady D. It was the most beautiful and talked about wedding in history, the world being ignorant of the truth beneath the superficial love story.

Now that the Lady D is no longer around, its about time that the Prince marries his long time lover. I salute them that their love endured so long……longer than many marriages. Congratulations.

I need a new job

I need a new job......Its too stressfull.I cant take it anymore...... My hair is dropping at an alarming state contributed by the stress plus the length (my long hair reaches my buttocks thus according to the hair stylist it will drop alot since there is a certain length of lifespan of our hair), then I suffer gastric pains often due to the ungodly hour I have my meals. eg. Lunch: 12.30pm Dinner:10pm or Lunch: 3pm Dinner: 12am. Had a major attack last week and lasted the entire week.....no MC no leave cos rushing something....... I dont have enough sleep and sometimes i dont sleep at all rushing for deadlines.......I'm now having a freaking headache and a brainfreeze at the same time. I wish i marry a rich man and become a rich mans tai tai...........noneed to work but blog and read blogs the whole day.......

oh ya, i take a look at my profile pic and i hate the cartoon ( the doll ). Looks sooooooo childish. So i uploaded another cartoon pic.......this one cheers me up a little.... ;)
