Sometimes you look very Auntie lah...............

Mr.Practical a.k.a The Fiance said this to me today. (see title)

Well, every gentlemen out there should know that this is NOT the right thing to say to a lady. ANY lady as a matter of fact, irregardless of age. Words uttered carelessly as such will definitely send missiles launching.

However, i did not react to such trivial things. I have better things to do than to stir up a 3rd world war, like cutting up my access credit cards and send them back to MaybeBank for example.

Nonetheless i did ponder upon his honest comment and reflect upon myself. Indeed I have been "neglecting" polishing up myself lately. As i'm currently already "taken" and do not need to go "fishing" anymore, i've somehow subconsciously neglecting my looks. I put on a couple of KGs, i dont put on eye shadows that often, sometimes i'm even lazy to put on my sexypouty lipgloss when i go out with Mr.Practical let alone actually dress-up for the occasion. I'd just put on a nicely fitted baby-t with my oh-so-comfy paddle pushers and my flip flops when i go out with him. Annndddddd, when i'm lazy to let down my hair, id just bun it up. Plusss.....if the lazy bug is a big one, id just put on my "ahbeng" glasses instead of my lovely electrocuteable(as in let out electricity to the beholder) hazel-dazzle colored lenses.....

Sighhh........nowonder Mr.Practical say i look very Auntie(sometimes)!!!! gosh......i need to pull myself together. I've gotten too comfortable with myself and its not doing good to me. Not that i dont dress up anymore, i still do dress up pretty nicely to work except that when i go out with him, its dress down, auntie look. Poor Mr.Practical...........how to show off this rusty trophy like this???LoL.... This is partly curtesy of Mr.Practical for relentlessly telling me i'm beautiful all the time, i'm just not so desperate to fetching compliments anymore.
Hehe……time to pick up the gear, besides, its our (the gf) responsibility to look pretty for the man.


OKla.....Note to self: from now on fashionasia must dress up even while going out with Mr.Practical.

Come to think of it.....I think i was molested by the doctor......was i ??

As a lady i'm not so comfortable with a male doctor and so normally i frequent this particular lady doctor.

Sometime last year when i came back from Singapore, i was down with a pretty serious case of flu and fever. I think it was christmas season and my regular lady doctor was closed. Thus i had to find myself another clinic to go to. So, i adjurn to the nearest i could think of which is the one at Taman Tun.

The doctor was an elderly indian man. Did the regular say AHHHH thingy.........check the pulse.....then here comes the stethoscope.

He slid his stethoscope right down in between my boobs. Obviously i was rather perturb and uncomfortable but what do i know about medicine and all the mambo jumbo. But then I was very bo song lohhhh......to have the old man touching my boobies. Somemore i already feeling not very in the well.......:(

I understand if u need to check my breathing on my chest but why must the stethoscope go all the way into the valley between the twin peaks??? Yuckieeessss
Somemore i wasn't actually wearing a proper bra bra ....i was wearing this thin ah-ma kinda bra without pads and very loose lohhhh.......my fault that one.... But i was sick ma......I need to wear loose fittings else id feel so agitated.

Well, it didn't hit me untill my next visit to my lady doctor sometime this year with the same symptoms. The Lady doctor just told me to say the AHHhhs and the checking of the pulse. Pretty much the same steps. And i was waiting for the stethoscope to come but it didnt. HHHHHhhhmmmmmmmm......obviously she don't even need to use the stethoscope to give me the right diagnosis and medication. Pppttphhhtthhhh..............;P

I thought to myself.........Bummer.........


Fashionasia terkelentong oledi.........

Maybank credit cards.........but i didn't sign-up for it!!?!?

About a year ago. I received a delivery from Citilink Express.

2 brand new credit cards from Maybank. 1 mastercard and the other American Express card.

The problem is, i did not sign-up for any.

Since i already have my citibank credit card, I've decided to stick to it and so i did not use the maybank cards. I just chuck it aside and never touched them.

This month, after a year, I received a statement from Maybank. They charge me for the renewal fee this year. WHAT THE??!!!!! *mumble grumble*

The maybank people are giving me extra work to do. I didn't ask for the cards so why did you send it to me anyway. I didnt' use the card, not even once. I assume that by not using it means i have not activated the card and that it should just be cancelled off. You expect me to cut the cards into pieaces and send back to you?? You think i'm so free meh??? wasting my time and my money to post the card to you somemore.

Sigh.......
Nowadays credit cards are free. i can get Free for 3 years, Free for 5 years, Free for life from dunno wat bank........I mean nowadays its just free. I dont' need anymore credit cards. My citibank is free for 2 years so i dont need anymore cards to tempt me to spend more............ ..Thanks but no thanks ok!!!! Unless you tell me i dont have to pay for the cards, then i might consider using it.

Haiyaa........wasting my time, as if i dont have enough things to do i now gotta go call them up and complain and cut the cards in half and the send back to them.........

When I'm lazy to wear a bra I..........................

I go cami!!!
(final one about bra's i promise!!!!!!, for now that is...hehe)


[random pic from google images]

I don't know about you women out there but as for me, I do have those days when i wake-up in the morning to prepare for work, i just don't feel like wearing a bra. However, due to the course of my work, i can't go braless!!! its just so unprofessional. Soooooo, normally what i'd do is that i would wear a padded camisole. I really love to wear padded camisole. Its so comfortable, you feel like you're wearing a spaghetti strap minus the fuss of looking for the right bra to go with it!

Padded camisoles come with bra pads attached. Not only does it make you look bustier, it also conceals your nipple and gives your boobies a good contour. It also gives your breast more space for better blood circulation and more air to breath. The bra pads gently covers your breast and reveals just enough cleavage to make you look oh so sexy and desirable. However, I normally like to pull over a cardigan or a blazer jacket for a touch of professionalism for the corporate world.


I have a couple of padded camisoles in different colours. I especially love those with cross backs or halter tie-em-up tops. With these lovely padded camis, I need not worry about finding the right strapless bra to go with the speghetti strap or tube top or whatever as wearing strapless bra can be quite a fuss. Sometimes when you move around more or did some vigorous movement, you might suddenly discover that you have a third breast in the middle of your chest(kekeke!! speaking from experience) and then you have to secretly adjust them back to its place gracefully so that nobody noticed. OR, you can try putting both your hands up to the air and those boobs will pop out of the cage like a cookoo clock when the clock strikes 1. THAT, will undoubtedly requires a more obvious movement to savor.

Sooo, do try out the cami's and let me know what you think!! For those of you who'd like to try it out, you can get a decent black one from Giant hypermarket at less than RM10. Why don't you give it a go......I already bought 2.


ps. I'm not sure whats the right terminology here for the padded camisoles. Anyone ?



Fashionasia says eureka!! Heres to another great invention!!

Why i wouldnt encourage women to go braless............

The world can only take so much ugliness..................




















[Maggie dearest we love you but you're giving me nightmares.]

Do you dare to go bra-less in Malaysia?? Or have you?? how about panty-less??

Indeed its a norm to walk around bra-less if you're from hollywood but for a place like Malaysia? I think you should forget about it.

Ya i do admit that wearing a bra is a total pain in the bust, especially if you're wearing wire.
However, I dont think so i would ever go out in the streets without one. Id feel so naked. And imagine you're walking in the mall and you feel the chill of the aircond, then your nipple starts to wave and say hi i'm here!!! eeeeeekss..... very weird. I'd turn into the hunchback of nortre dame in no time. Talking about bad posture.

This reminded me of a story.

Once upon a time, when I was probably about 9 years old, I went swimming with dad at the club. After swimming and bathing and all, I realized that I DID NOT BRING MY UNDERWEAR. I still havent started wearing a bra yet so no problem with that. I did not bring my underwear because i wore my swimming suit at home and wore my clothes on top. And then, i HAD to wear my butterfly straightcut nighty looking dress that day....why didnt i wear shorts or something.....THANK GOODNESS THE DRESS WAS BLACK. Yes, so i had no choice, i wore the dress without my panty on.
aeyeeeee....... And we went for dinner by the pool. Even at that age i felt so aware of my "nakedness" and ya, it was the longest dinner ever..... and cold too........downthere.


Its really weird walking around without undergarments.



Fashionasia say oopss! my bad!

The Mr.Practical in my life

Goood morning!!!! what a lovely morning. Why its Friday already??!! Hurrahhh!!!

Appy Bornday to me!!!!!!

Ya, OK!!! I'm not gonna go all grumpy turning 1 year OLDER. Gasp!!!! I'm now officially in my "LATE TWENTIES"

hmmm....how does that feeel???

No Difference.

Hmm......maybe i do feel a little more womenly. ahaksss....

OK, the one about MR.Practical. The Fiance, he is the ultimate Mr.Practical. Sometimes he can boring but sometimes it could be kinda fun too being practical.

Wednesday we went shopping at Jusco. Mr.Practical wants to get me a birthday present. He's been asking me what i wanted for the past whole week and all i could manage is " i don't know...i have everything already what....noneed to buy anything lah". [Special note to men: When a girl says " noneed to buy anything doesnt' actually mean noneed, it means "get my something special and suprise me". Get it?? oh and it need not be expensive but of cos if u can afford expensive lagi best lah rite.] So i guess Mr.Practical didn't get the drift.

SOoooooo it was wednesday shop for present day!!! yippieee...... Of course i getto choose what i wanted. Then, being the future Mrs.Practical that i am, i wouldnt wanna spend too much and so i've decided on a bottle of perfume that i've almost finished using. Btw its my signature scent. CK Be. I took the 100ML although Mr.Practical wanted to get the 200ML. I wasn't too keen on it. Very boring lah use the same bottle, want me to use for how many years?? kekekeke......I told him i'd rather buy another 100ML when i finish this one bcos sometimes u get to get lovely gift items. I got a CK Be bag previously but this time they only have the body wash.

Goodiee....got my gift! Happy happy......
Then i scrambled across the CK counter and landed in the land of Dior. tsssk tsskk...... ANNNNDDD i couldnt get my eyes off of the particular lipstick in lilac. So Mr.Practical so sweet n got me the Dior Lipstick. Yoohoooo....
Here comes my very first Dior Lipstick!! that small little thing cost RM 70. Seriously i don't know whats so good about Dior lipsticks cos the packaging is really "old fashion" to me. Navy blue + gold. aaacckkkkss.... But i guess untill i started using it, i really don't know. Will let you know if its worth the RM 70 later!

All in all, i actually did enjoy getting a present for myself. Sometimes we need suprises in our life, but sometimes a little practicality seems to be kinda fun too!!!! Its all in the balance.




Fashionasia is 26
Happy Weeekend people!!

A Doze of Fashion


To my dear fashionista readers,

I'm so sorry i've deprived you from fashion updates and beauty products reviews. I know i have been talking about myself and my personal thoughts lately that i havent posted any fashion related stories much to your disappointment i presume.

Lately i've bought some stuffs but i guess id do my posting one at a time.

Last week i went to Alamanda (the only shopping centre in Putraja
ya) for lunch and while i was there i manage to do some quick buys.

I manage to drop by Bonita. Bonita is a chainstore selling fashionable accessories. They have lovely bling blings, much like the infamous Sinma chainstore, except that Bonita is a little more upmarket and the price is a tad more expensive
.

I spotted this choker necklace.














I immediately recog
nize that i spotted the exact type of choker during my previous trip to singapore at Bugis Street. I almost bought it for SGD 18 (i think) but i refrained myself cos i thought it was not worth the price.
Here at Bonita however, its only priced at RM 9.90. I immediately pick my color and
decided to take it. Later i asked the salesgirl for a matching earring.
Pssssstttt......... the salesgirl, she's got bad taste....kekekee......and she's bad at matching items too. *rolls eyes* I guess i'd have to find my own earring. And so after looking through the whole store, i manage to find the most matching earring out of the store. Although i still think it doesnt quite match that well but i guess it'll do.

Guess howmuch is the earring???? RM 19.90. Aiyohhh....so expensive lah.......
But i liked it and since there was some discount (10% or so i can't remember exactly....sorrylah old already haha) I told them to wrapped it up and it made my day!!!


Fashionasia loves them bling blings

No hug hug kiss kiss in public or you'll go to court wor

OK, Well I did not read the newspaper lately but I came to know about a case which involves a couple being caught and sued in high court because of “behaving indecently” (I heard is hugging and kissing but the couples claim they were just holding hands)in KLCC.

Initially i thought the couple involved was malay and that since it is against their religion, it is only appropriate for the syariah court (religious court) to catch them red handed and fine them or what not.

However, it seems that the couple that was caught was actually a Chinese couple.
Huh?!! My colleague was telling me the story and I was like. Huh????!!!!! But why??? ………………
Seriously I’m so so ignorant of the law of the land. Even though I am Malaysian. I did not know that showing public affection is a nono. I have no idea that it is against the law. I only know that for the malays they can’t do that because it will be considered as “berkalwat”.

Wow……seriously I don’t know to what extend it is being considered as “behaving indecently” but I guess to be on the safe side…………….. I must remember not to hug or kiss in public.


Fashionasia says no huggie huggie & kissie kissie



Updated:

"
Maturely Immatured said...
Did your friend also tell you that the judge found the couple not guilty and freed them and FYI, this case happened last year or the year before last, I cant really remember."

Fashionasia says :" Oh really!!?????!!! phewwww!!!!!! All i can say is............Hellelujah!!!! OK............now the planet can go back and rotate in peace. Peace out!!! "

oh btw i checked it out and the case happened in 2003.

Why Sometimes I Just Want to Quit My Job


1. The Biggest Boss never appreciates a single thing i do

I'm in sales and yes i admit i'm way behind my target but hey i'm the only one in the sales team that is actually bringing deals in. I contribute 80% of the revenue in my division eventhough we have 4 person working on sales. But well, eventhough my immediate boss appreciates me very much, sadly the Big big boss doesnt. Everytime he sees me he ask me the same 2 question. "So hows sales?" "Must bring more sales". I mean at least show some appreciation right. Eventhough the value is not much but at least i brought well known corporate clients into the picture and it certainly helps boost your company profile!! I mean, if not, you wouldnt have so many huge names in your beautiful client list brochure. I'm accounted for almost half of the names you put there!!


2. No increament for the past 2 years

Well, ya i admit i havent done well so i play a part in this....but still.....it sucks. Immediate boss pushed for my increment this year but Boss No.1 wants to "restructure" the sales scheme......everybody got their increment already except sales ppl, which means yours truely. BAH HUMBARGGG ....


3. Cinamen company with cinamen attitude (READ : OLD FASHION) management.....no way for me to get my ideas through.

Once it was the time of the year to send greeting cards. So i actually found a very innovative greeting card that can be folded into a pen-holder + calendar + advertisement+ greeting card thingy. I totally love the idea. So, i put forth my request. In the COO's room, i was laughed at by the COO, the HR Manager and another Manager............
They say its unconventional, that its got no standard.....yadda...yadda....
I felt the prick in my heart that i actually went to the ladies and sat there for a good half-an-hour with tears streaming down my cheeks uncontrollably.
In the end they sent those typical centre fold greeting card with the company logo embossed in gold. ptuiiii!!!!
I bet every single thousand pieces they sent gone to the trash. Comeonla greeting cards are so so common we receive so many of them every year i know i always throw them away. Whereas if i had my way, my greeting card choice would perhaps stay in the desk of some executives for a good whole year cos its got a calendar on it. Not forgetting your company logo, name and offering will also be part of the deco. And if they like it, they might keep using it as a pen holder for much longer than the calendar lasts.


4. Getting funds for marketing merchandize can be such a pain.
"Why spend so much money" is a question that is very difficult to justify.


5. I work in the "Geeky" Industry where as I love beauty and fashion
somehow i just feel that i'm in the wrong line of industry. I wonder when will i ever have the opportunity to embark on what i want to do.....Fashion & Beauty Review writing. Wow, that'll be cool.


I'm not simon so i only do 5. hehe.....

PS. I'm SOOOOOOOO gonna shut down this site if THE Boss ever finds out.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Updated:

I re-read my post and i feel that i sound like a complain queen. Which in truth I am not.
I am totally against people who complain about their bosses or the company they work for.
Personally, I'm totally commited to my work, the company and especially my boss. I'm the type that wouldnt mind working to the wee hours at night to complete my task and meeting deadline. I wouldnt bid an eyelid if my boss ask to me go back to work on saturdays or sundays even. I seldom complain about my work. This is the first time i'm rendering my frustrations out. I just want to say that i do not encourage employees to complain about the boss or company. Employees should do their work to the best they can and be commited. Okie dokie??
Cheers!!!

In the mean time, Fashionasia crossing fingers and toes hoping for the best in the restructure.



NO SPAMMING PLEASE.
Sorry guys i've gotta disable the comment feature for now. Crazy blog spammers!!! Leave my blog alone !!!!
Other genuine ppl who would like to drop some advise to me can just drop me an email at fashionasia(at)gmail.com
Thanks!!!!

(i'm enabling back the comments but id be monitoring. If more spams i gotta shut it off )

"Huh??People going to the moon the second time already and you don't have an email address????"

The Fiance recently called the bank asking for some information about loan repayment and stuffs.
After talking for awhile it seems that he didn't manage to get what he asked for and the bank officer owed him a pieace of information.

Before putting down the phone, This is how the conversation goes.

The Fiance:"can you please send an email to me about yadayaddayadda...."

Bank Officer: "Sorry encik saya tak ada email." (sorry sir i don't have an email).

The Fiance: (shoked beyond belief) "Haaaaarrr???? you tak ada email?? People going to the moon the second time already you belum ada email???"

Bank Officer: "hahaha....hehe......errr....errrr"

The Fiance: "OKla, can you drop me an sms later....."

Bank Officer: "SMS pun tak ada la"

The Fiance: !!!!!!!! "SMS pun takde?? ...............then nevermiind lah"



I'm puzzled. Are you sure Bank Officer's dont each have en email address for correspondence??? Or is this girl just totally BLUR like sotong???



Fashionasia oso blur like sotong (as blur as a squid)

Something about relationship that I learnt from 3rd Rock From The Sun

Out of the blue I recalled this comedy series called 3rd Rock From The Sun.
Its one of my all time favourite comedy tv series. Those jokers are hilarious!!!

Strangely I actually learnt something about relationships from the show.

What i learnt from 1 of the series that I actually remembered distinctly:

you know that you are 1 step deeper into a relationship when both of you can fart (nomatter stinkily or loudly) in the presence of each other without feeling embarrassed about it. ;)
If you can, congratulations!! you have become comfortable with each other.
If not then your relationship is still at a shallow stage, you still have a long way to go. ;)

chewahh.....i suddenly sound like Dear Thelma.

;)

Anyway, it was only last night when i was busy browsing the Apprentice3 website to read about some of the episodes that i missed. The Fiance, he was sitting nearby. Then he came close to me and whispered into my ear.

"Shhhhhhhh............listen............"
-----*fashionasia listened intensely...."------
*..................silence......................"
then.....
"PoooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooottttttt"
The Fiance.....he is very cheeky. He let out a stink-bomb.

AS IF the haze isnt' bad already......




Fashionasia Over n Out


Thursday, August 11, 2005

See for yourself

















Its worst today. I'm tired talking about the haze . I'm sick of reading about the haze. But well, I cant help it. Today while i was on my way to fetch a colleague to work guess what i saw!! OPEN BURNING!!!! !! Was driving so didnt manage to get a picture. These people are really testing my patience. Good thing i don't swear, else I'd probably look into their face and say "FOG YOU".


Strange that it was rather clear in the morning but now its just as worst as ever.

OK, not gonna ping this one cos i myself also sick of haze news.

Can the State government of Selangor declare emergency holiday for all of us tomorrow?? I know the company sure won't do it. Well, just a thought.


Hazy Dazily,
Fashionasia

I'm a junk food junkie

I'm such a junk food junkie I totally love to eat snacks, chips, mo far ko and etcetera etcetera etcetera. I'm a huge Mr.Potato fan i can skip my dinner, finish the whole tube and get a soar throat the next day! ahaks....
I also totally love to eat sweet n sour stuffs like "mo far ko", pickled fruits, smarties, m&ms.......

The Fiance thinks i eat too much junk food and had recently banned me from eating them.
Not that he thinks i'm fat or anything coz he doesnt like thin girls much to my advantage bcos i'm rather "fleshy" i must say. However, he is very upset that my body defense system is weak and i get the sniffles, the headache, the flu quite often. He says i dont eat enough nutritious food. Which is true....
I eat too much JUNK FOOD.

From today onward I will "quit" my junkfood eating habit and eat healthy.
Yesterday i went grocery shopping and i bought :
HL lowfat Milk
Mix Cereals (small packs of Cococrunch, honey stars,Trix and milo)
Sun Maid Raisins


*clap clap clap* yey!!!....
I told The Fiance about it, he's so proud of mua. He "pat pat" my head. "Goooood girl" he said.
The Fiance sooOOooo loves me!!


Fashionasia feelin happy sappy!!!

Weirdo In My Office

Theres a weirdo in my office. He stares at EVERY girl that walk passes his workspace.
Innitially i'm okay with it.....well, at least i have someone noticing me if i actually made some effort to dress up nicely.
However lately I feel uncomfortable about it .........ever since i read from Torments blog that men actually mentally undress girls!!! gosh it never crossed my mind that guys actually do that!!! Thanks Torment for the enlightenment.

At first I was rather "perasan" cos i thought hey this guy always stare at me wan......i must be hot in his eyes........then after some chit chat sessions with the girls we found out that he actually stares at EVERY GIRL!!!!!!

I wonder why he stares at all the girls??? Is there any particular reason for guys to stare at girls or he IS in fact mentally undressing every girl that passes by???


Fashionasia needs enlightenment

First time I hit an animal.......blame it on the haze!!!

I'm such a freaking goody goody I would never hurt an animal.

Today I went to Putrajaya and on my way back I hit a bird. I feel so bad. This is the first time in my life i hurt an animal. :( bahhhumbarg.........(correct spelling ah?)

Its not my fault that the bird is flying low and totally drop to my car level just when i reach it.........*thub*..............i saw feathers flying........I totally panicked!!!!! But i still continued driving. As i look back at my rearview mirror i saw the bird flew up again.....slightly groggy but i think its alive. *sigh of relief*. Hope its not hurt too bad. Thank God i'm driving a small car and i manage to slow down to a minimal speed at the time of impact.

On my way back I kept noticing birds....birds and more birds............ Its weird!! All them birds are flying all-time low today. It must be the haze!!!!! Yup i'm sure it is.....cos I had to evade another bird again later on. The haze today is extremely bad. It stinks...the smell is chocking me and visibility is probably a few meters only. We need rain.


Fashionasia says Let there be rain.



Updated:

At this point of time, I'm in the office with airconditioning but i could still smell the smoke.
I feel fatigue and hard to breathe.....and a slight headache.
Note to self : drink more water. Stay indoor.


Updated 2:

I must say that i'm so dissappointed in Malaysians. Please leh use some common sense ........
On my way back from the office guess what i saw that appalled me.

  1. 1 fella driving the lorry for fitness concept actually was smoking and hands out of the window.......adding more smoke to the already smelly smokey haze!!! ARggshHhHHH.....i shook my head in dismay.......
  2. There were people still jogging in the park....... Puhhhleeesee!!!! haze season is not the right time to jog. You are breathing in air which is bad for you.
  3. Still got people driving with the window wind down. Why lah??? the smoke smell very nice izzit???

Please swear lesser can or not???

I detest reading blogs with lotsa swear words.
Personally i never swear before in my entire life and i don't intent to start anytime soon.
If you know me i'm a type of person who don't easily get influenced. I adhere to my principals and i maintain myself as such.

Lately i've been reading alot of blogs. Some of which i found myself enjoying but some i find disturbing. I particularly hate to read blogs that i like which is funny but consist of N amount of swear words that i have to read. You see when I read I have the words pronounced in my mind and when i do so, i even read out those swearwords. Subconciously i found myself sometimes swearing in my mind when things doesnt go my way. GASPPP!!!!! horror of all horrorss!!! what have become of me??!!!

I know i know, swearing is no big deal....its just another word, not like its the end of the world or anything of that sort. But i just hate to have the words swirling in my mind. Its like uncleaness. It like tainting the karma.....its like...i don't know.......reducing to rubbles the good thoughts in my head..........aiyohhhh.....

baaah......you wouldn't understand.

I know its none of my business lah......you ppl will start telling me things like " you dont like mah dont read loh!!!"

hehe.....yaya....i know......but i love to read good blogs........but please swear lesser can or not??!!

I finally got myself something from Bloom Cosmetics

I've known this brand Bloom for quite sometime now but strangely i haven't bought myself anything from the brand before.

Last wednesday i went to Sungei Wang and i happen to drop by Sasa and Bloom was on 30% discounts. Normally i wouldnt buy stuffs from Blooms cos well, the cosmetics are really costly. I'd rather get something from Stilla or Estee Lauder. At blooms, the lipsticks, lip glosses and all were typically tag
at between RM 50- RM80. Its on the high-side if you ask me.

However, since its 30% off this time around, i chose to give it a try. I got myself a Lip Gloss with the shade called "Daydream". Indeed the shade is dreamy, its a shade of nude with a tint of purple.

I must say after using it today that its quite good really. Its written on the box that its flavoured with mandarin and vanilla oils. Therefore the feel is rather moisturizing and well, oily of course.

Bloom is manufactured in Australia. You can visit the website at www.bloomcosmetics.com

I like the products but i wouldnt buy it if
it wasn't for the 30% discount. Its quite expensive if you ask me. But i do love the design and packaging. After discount, my lip gloss costs around RM 40. I think i'd like to get another one. The Pink one!!!!! hehe...can't stop thinking about it since i came back. I was choosing between the pink and the nude color. OK, if i see blooms again im getting the one in pink. Another one that got my attention is called the Lip Lacquer, in the shade called "Twinkle". Its purplish but very light. Looks like this.


heres my lip gloss

Self Appraisal

Its that time of the year for appraisal. Yippedidoodaaa.....
No really, yippiee.......*skip around and toss confetti* woooo!!!

LoL. Well, basically there are 2 ways of appraisal. 1st is the one way appraisal where your boss appraises your performance for the year solely based on his/her views. Second is self appraisal system where you get to rate yourself.

I was recently handed my appraisal form. We practice self appraisal here. Geee, i really dont know if i should leap in joy or what. Of course i like the idea that i get to have a say in rating my own performance cos well, i'd get to say things i think to be note-worthy and perhaps hide the flaws behind those strengths.

However, as a typical chinese i have a strong sense of humility in me. I've been brought up in a typical chinese family where we were always thought to deny all praises. Whenever someone commented that i'm pretty, its always a reflect response to deny it...."no lah where got pretty.....you lah pretty..." Whenever someone praises me how smart i am, automatically the reflect response is also to deny it "nolah....where got....i'm very stupid wan....". Thus denying any good comments or praises have become a default answer. Self praise is such a big nono in this community. Never ever praise yourself infront of others, else you'd be known as such a snob. I think this somehow causes me to have a rather low self-esteem and often have the inferiority complex thingie going on. I often feel that i'm not good enough, that i have not done enough.

This character of mine absolutely effects me when i do self appraisal. I can't bring myself to mark anything above average as i've always viewed myself as an average performer. I also often feel that i've not done good enough.

I guess this is something we as asians face in our common lives. Where the Americans for example, are very confident lot!! Take a look at all the those participants in fear factor! Every single one of them shows absolute confidence that they would win the task eventhough they know for sure that they cant do it. I mean, what makes them portray such remarkable confidence? Like for example eventhough they cant swim they still exhibit the confidence that they can perform the underwater task and win. As for me, well i'm such a deny-er. " no i can't", " i'm not good enough", " i can't possibly..." these are common swirling comments i throw out to any challenge.

Anyway, for the appraisal i rated myself....er.....probably a teeeny bit above average. I finally put forth enough courage to say enough good things about my work and rated a couple of qualities above average. Although i did quickly so rated some of them qualities below average....LOL *smack own forehead*. But its a good start. I'm such an honest person i totally suck at lying.

Cellphone.....which do guys prefer?

Flip or no flip? Big or Small? Camera or no camera? Black or Blue?

Nokia? Motorola? Samsung? .......gosh.....so many choices i can't decide.

I've been meaning to get my fiance a new cellphone. He's been using my old nokia8250 that got flipped out of my handbag and flew a mile away when i was once a snatch thief victim. Oh ya!! Havent told the story about me being a snatch theif victim before havent i? Its a pretty interesting story.....Lets keep it for next time ok cos its worth a whole entry by itself.

Anyhow,comming back to the cellphone. Fiance's been using the old one for quite sometime now and i think its about time i get him a new one. And hopefully a kick-@ss Stylo-Mylo one at that. Given his position, i figured he needed something up to the standard eventhough he still don't mind using any phone for that matter. I figured that for my birthday, i'm getting a cellphone for my fiance. I think it'll be great! I dont know but i totally get a kick out of giving out presents much more than receiving. Can't help it but i'm such a total giver.

I've been scouting around. Errr....okay havent time to do that but i've been browsing around....ya....... And seriously i havent found any phone that i find to be calling out to me.
Maybe i'm just too picky but the designs these days are just bluehhh. I'd like something that spells EXECUTIVE and ELEGANCE......


The new nokia 8800 looks pretty nice although i'd prefer it to be less rounded. And the price tag is a tad too high. My budget is below 2K. Guys, can you recommend me something?? Oh and anyone selling cellphones can drop me an email me if you can give me a great discount!! haha...I'd advertise for you in my blog!! teehee......


nokia 8800


N90


I kinda like the Motorola RAZR v3 limited edition in black.



I dont know if i have the time this comming Saturday, i'd probably drop by Sungai Wang to take a look.
