the future is not an illusion.
24 to 2010, have a shiny new year fellas.

this year's christmas in one word: overdose! (:

merii kerisumasu everyone!

i have a tendency to fall head over heels violently for fictional characters. especially broodish ones with eyes that see through your soul. not forgetting the out of bed hair.

how does your desktop look like?

its almost christmas. i want to sparkle like edward cullen under the sunlight. no wait, forget the sparkles. just give me robert pattinson, together with ed westwick. thanks santa. (although naina told me youre a pervert because, youves got 3 HO-es and you come down chimneys.)

if i were to run away from it all.
i wont flee, i wont hide.
i'd disappear.
and i dont know who would come looking for me.

i have no idea why, but i always lose my stamps. i'll buy a pack of ten, use 2 and never see the remaining 8 ever again. and so i tell my myself, i am going to put them here, so if i ever need to use them, i'll know where to find them. but of course that never happens, because as we all know, stamps grow legs and run around at night.
bloody hell, i just bought that packet last week, dammit.

ps- all winners for the ettusais girls day out tickets have been contacted! the answer is stewie griffin. not peter not brain or worse still that perv quagmire!

ettusais girls day out giveaway ends tomorrow! send in your answers asap! ((:

yesterday was my first time at the night safari and i half expected a dinosaur to pop out any moment, but the only thing that sent all of us screaming was a rather large white bird that got a little too close for comfort. i highly recommend that you visit it during halloween.

ps: nobody guessed my fave family guy correctly?!
hint: his voice is strangely low.

shites, i need to get my hands on this.

its december already! which means, christmas is round the corner! besides pigging out, christmas also means dressing up, and making up. yes, making up with those youve had disagreements with this year (because its christmas! how can you stay angry with anyone on christmas right?) and making up as in MAKE UP, cosmetics, being pretty, stardust and glitter, ring a bell? heh.

so today, ive just got to show you these lovely palettes that ettusais gave me to pretty up for the festive year end celebrations. i already started using them for a shoot i had because i just couldnt wait to try them out!

arent these the prettiest looking colours? (:

glittery highlights can be used for a casual day out with your girlfriends to make your features stand out.

i used the platinum star powder on the nose bridge and cheekbones. the original ettusais puff provided is the softest ever! the soft pink colour gives a radiant glow!

i used the platinum star eye gloss in SV which is the silver fairy look with a sliver lurex top to give laid back look a pop of glam here. i love how easy it is to spread the gloss on the eyelids without the use of a brush. another plus point for the texture; smooth and not sticky!

its a real breeze to apply on, i used my fourth finger (lesser pressure, lesser strain on the eyelids!) to apply the silver on my lids and the fine-tipped applicator to line the blue.

trying out the gold venus (GV) platinum eye gloss over here with a gold lurex top. i used the applicator provided to create gradation for a darker look here. i especially like the brilliance and gloss from the different sized pearl pigments.

i used the silver highlight in SF as the base and blended both darker colours from the both palettes in this look. using the dark grey in GV to line the lash line and the dark blue in SF to blend upwards!

dont shy away from glittery colours and think that they can only be used for occasions! as you can see, they go really well with casual clothes like cardigans and sweaters too!

platinum star powder- $38
platinum eye gloss - $36 (available in 3 palettes)

today is supposed to be special.

i dreamt that i was wantonly enjoying one ton of wantons last night. i woke up starving, with huge craving. yeap, you got it right, an intense craving for a juicy steak drenched with mushroom sauce cooked till medium rare, not more than 30 seconds per side. yum. what? you thought i was going to a crave for wantons? are you mad? i had more than enough of those in my dreams already.

okay, so i just got the new macbook because my piece of junk current one breathed its last yesterday leaving me in a frantic panic with tons of work left undone and crops to harvest. ive always knew that the windows messenger for mac sucks more than a vacuum cleaner, but mine doesnt even allow me to change my display picture?! every jpg, gif, bmp file i use is apparently not a valid picture file format. wtf? tell me WHAT is a valid file format is then, because now my picture is a flower and i have zero personality at all. who the hell wants to be a generic daisy. i want my own customised picture that is going to speak depths about me. i want to be a bear.

anyone who knows me would already know my obscene love for shoes.
for you fellow shoe whores out there, get excited.
there's a new kid on the block.
