And so today, after viewing numerous videos on YouTube, it kinda made me wanna write down how I've progressed on my make up skills.

- Kino Lookbook + Bag review
-
- nazhuka_mizhuki
- December 29th, 2011
Recently, our local bookstore Kinokuniya had a 20% sale, and I took the chance to buy some of the collection Lookbooks ( that comes with a free bag banded inside it ) that I've been eyeing for quite long.
Generally the prices of these Lookbooks + Free Gift (Doesn't have to be a tote bag, it could range anything from a mascara to tote bags, fans to make up pouches etc) have quite a range - from $29+ to as much as $40+. The lookbooks are all of diffferent thickness, though I can't really review what's the difference inside. But basically it showcases the current garments & styles of the particular brand you bought, and they come banded with the free gift inside.
Ever since I was introduced to it, I had my eyes set on the Anna Sui's Dolly Girl bag. But alas, while I was browsing around during the sale, Anges B and Amarni Exchange caught my eye too, and I decided to buy them all.
I must admit, I am quite impressed with the quality of the Armani Exchange & the Anna Sui bag. It coated so that it's hard and waterproof. It is also textured to create a faux snakeskin effect. If there was anything that I felt could be better, was that I think the measurements stated on the lookbook isn't true. While I'm not as anal as to whip out my ruler to measure everything, I definitely feel that it does not look as big as what is stated.
Agnes B though, left me feeling slightly disappointed. The bag was made of normal canvas - and though it is lined, it still feels rather thin, and definitely not water proof. And while the bag came with a free scarf to tie around the handle, it doesn't really fall into place like in the picture. Maybe I'm just inexperienced, or maybe it's tied differently, but either way I think I'll need to think about how to deal with it. Nonetheless though, the only thing that made up for the lack of quality (IMO) was the size of the bag - whilst it still seems smaller than it should be, it was definitely bigger than Anna Sui's, and comparable to Armani Exchange's (if my memory didn't fail me - I bought Armani as a gift & have given it away - I just managed to see the bag when it was opened by dear).
However, bags aside, Anna Sui's lookbook was interesting, and it captivate me more as compared to Agnes B's. Maybe I just don't really fall into their category, but whatever it is, it made me feel like my money was short-changed.
Nonetheless, I think buying such bags takes that little bit of luck in getting a bag that's of good quality, and I was lucky to have gotten 2 in my very first purchase. :)
PS: Photos might be up at a later date, depending on how tired I am / I am in the mood for it =X
- Dreams of spirits

I've been dreaming of spirits recently. I don't know why, but I do. It's nit the same dream -everyday I'm greeted by a new dream. But always about spirits. I wonder why???
It was especially bad since today's dream was stuck in my head, and I was alone at home when I woke up. To make matters worse, the weather changed from being really sunny to dark, and started raining not long after. I was creeped out yo. Though just a dream, it's so vivid I almost started wondering if it will really happen.
I hope all will be well =<

Life's been good. Though extremely tiring & leaves me with little free time, I am enjoying & liking my current job.
Also had a photoshoot after such a long break. =3
I've also found myself a doting & caring bf. Life's good LOL.
Unfortunately I don't have time to do my cosplays oTL it's April already and I still haven't done much. Oh so totally Fml oTL
But I'm down with something that I have absolutely NO IDEA what it is. It's not really gastric yet seems like it. Even the doc that I went to yesterday wasn't sure.
It hurt really really really bad today, couldn't even stand properly & I was in so much pain. Still at the clinic waiting to see the doc. It takes forever for the queue to move. I wonder what the fook the fuking doc is doing. (♯｀∧´)

happy
Life's been busy but great. Really awesome. I"m really drained out + sick, but I'm enjoying life so whatever.
My job has had ups and downs, but I'm still having fun. Interacting with the people there more too, they're a bunch of nice people. ~_~
I went back to work after knocking off for the first time today hur hur. Forgot to do something that Boss wanted, so I went back to office. The bad thing was, I only remembered after I got home. oTL So, oh well. But whatever it is, it was fun though, no regrets going back at night to finish it up. Hur hur. Stayed & chatted with some of the staff there & we went off together. (Y)
My 21st bday is coming up!! Not exactly what I had in mind, and there were many blows I had to face, but whatever it is, the celebrating is coming up!! Thanks to GHJ for treating me to my early birthday lunch. :) The real celebration kicks in in a few hours time. Can't wait.
LET THE PARTIES BEGIN! <3

And so I was reminded once again why I don't do gassy drinks. I had a pretty bad gastric. On top of that, my dizzy & nauseas spell came back to haunt me again. So my tummy was in pain, my eyes were horribly dry, I was dizzy & I seriously felt like puking.
I went to bed after taking meds.... Only to wake up 2 hours later with a highly seriously urge to puke. Unfortunately it wouldn't come out despite being so strong, so I ended up camping in front of the toilet bowl for quite long. I did eventually puke though, but I think I had too much gastric juice & puked it out. Cause my throat was freaking BURNING omg.
Went back to sleep after that and had a hell of a time waking up today. I woke up feeling better, but not completely better. And now I'm also bai Ka/limping cause I injured my left foot yesterday and it's not recovered yet.
Wanted to tale MC but I figured I better not. So I'm cabbing down to work now. Once again, there goes my salary. I think it's justified this time though, at least I'll reach there faster and if I puke at least I'll have a toilet sooner.
Either that or I'm just trying to make myself feel better about cabbing again lol.

disappointed
It's times like these where you can really see how much you mean to others, and how much regard people have for you. Through time, you can really tell who's your true friends.
It's really sad to know that I am that insignificant to you.
I wish you luck & all the best.
If you ever decide to come back to us, I'm always open to have you join us back. It's dumb but you'll always have me as a friend. How much of a friend though, varies. Hurts to know I am so easily cast aside, and if anything happens & you come back... then.. well... Welcome back. But oh well, I won't turn away a friend.I guess

Today I went CNY shopping. I was actually in a really good mood today until something popped up and totally ruined it. Lue Song, Feng Long & Tsuki managed to cheer me up & help me forget all about it, but after I got home an even bigger bomb was thrown at me.
And thinking deeper, I realized that... Things are actually more complicated than it seems. It was highly sugar coated & because I didn't think deep enough I kinda got caught in it. IDK. How the fook I am supposed to get out of this shit. So totally FML.
Talking to Mika about it made me damn depressed yo. AND it doesn't help that it was like past midnight & many of my friends were sleeping [and I don't wanna disturb them]. So totally fml.
*I* Can't breath, it's a Mayday
*My* Heart hurts, it's a Mayday
Can you hear my Sign, Sign?
Did you get my Sign, Sign?
Imma go bang wall & fly kite. Be back in a bit.

Sup all!! Yes I am actually reviving my dead blog LOL. ZOMG previous post was in Sep when I was suffering in my previous job, totally ancient can?
Anyway, life's been really really busy but really really fun!! The past few months was one of the best times of my life [and dramatic too, but let's not go there ~_~]. We planned the awesome kickass Lue Song's & Kach's surprise birthday party [and it was a success too! Though there were many ups & downs along the way] + the dance, I learned Candy Man by the Brown Eyed Girls, went for our long overdue karaoke sessions, Christmas celebration, New Year celebration, got closer to people that I never was, and drifted from some others due to some.. reasons that I cannot say. If I want you to know, you probably already do so. ~_~ etc etc.
I also got a new job. It's more tiring but I am enjoying myself more. =] It is also more flexible, though it is shift work and I need to work on a weekend. But all's good thus far. I might or might not be able to celebrate my 21st birthday as planned, but I sincerely hope that I do, if not I'll be one sad girl. =< My gastric & headache has also been acting up here and there but I'll survive I believe.
My family tree [not the real one] also got more complex. Oh, fml LOL!! I decided to take a break & move away from my old family. I.. Really think that this is a necessary move, even though I didn't want to do so originally. You just kinda left me no choice yo.
And so I started off a new family LOL. This sounds so wrong but yeahhhhh I did. Honey is now my lao gong, and ah boy is my stepson. But ah boy is technically also my kor, so.. idk. Complicated relationship yo LOL. I am his sisterly mother. ... I think. Oh wait or was it motherly sister? @__@ I need to think of a term to call him too yo. Brotherly son? LOL!! Sounds wrong yo. oTL
I also have new cosplay plans for 2011. I don't know how full 2011 will be, but I'm kinda having more plans than normal already. We'll see how things go. The rest is all still unconfirmed except for KOF. Cause I promised. And cause I wanna work with a certain someone before he flies off to USA for good. ='<
Alright I should go sleep, I'm tired & gotta go out again tml. oTL
See ya all! Dot dot dot dot dot~ xP

confused
I've been having lots of weird dreams lately. They all have different scenarios, but all have similiar content: An evil spirit will be after me [and sometimes my friends too], and eventually I will meet it face to face and it will pounce on me. It wouldn't let go, and I would immediately start praying to God and asking him to help + protect me and bless me. Eventually the evil spirit will let me go and disappear. At this point, I will either wake up, or my heart will be pounding very badly, and I will continue doing whatever business I was doing in my dream.
I even had a dream were Satan was after my friend and me, and he grabbed me really tightly. I kept praying to God and eventually banished him into the deepest depths of hell. The second he was gone, there was this really warm feeling, like everything's going to be okay [ONLY in this dream though. Maybe cause in the dream it was Satan and God?].
Hmm. I wonder what it all means? They say dreams tell you something about yourself, it signifies something. If that's the case, then, what are these dreams telling me?
