HOLLA! FINALLY UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE

How is my latest Miss Bimbo looks like? I love to dress up like that (if I fit in those outfits. *LOL*). Guess what? I'm at Level 14 right now and struggling hard for reaching Level 15. Yeah, it's cool sometimes to reveal our inner childishness. I don't call it a crap, it's a stress relief stuff to do. *wink. My girl, Gabriella also loves this game. She's still in the early stage so it's hard for her to chase her Mom as I use my credit card to buy my Bimbo outfits. Such a waste don't you think so? Naay....., those dollars will be converted to Bimbo Dollars so for instance; USD10 will be like 20,000 Bimbo Dollars! You can buy a whole wardrobe of nice outfits from Nine's. It's Bimbo's boutique and don't bother to search on the Internet. *Giggle.

Well, this weekend I just spend my time mostly doing stuff like updating blog and such. Will be going for dinner later on at my friend's house, it's actually a housewarming. So hopefully bountiful of goodies and calories will stuff in my belly and tomorrow will regret everything. I sound stupid. Have to watch my eating habits as I have tendency to binge! Oh, how I love food so much!

Oh yes, by the way. Still remember my tutorial for Neopolitan Ice Cream Eyeshadow few weeks ago? I have actually uploaded them to Youtube but my music was muted because I have gone against the terms and conditions. Sorry YouTube! So I get rid of the song, DAMAGE by Danity Kane and replaced it with my own voice. For those in overseas, I hope you will understand my English. I'm not a good English speaker but I do speak daily conversational English so hope you guys like what I'm doing. I laughed at myself that I couldn't believe that I managed to do this video. Ugghhh, I tried so hard that I skipped my lunch and did this!

Ok, so please leave your comments and what do you think about my video? Sharing is caring! Have a very wonderful weekend readers!

MY CHINESE 'NIU' YEAR CELEBRATION

NEW YEAR'S EVE
Attended the CNY's eve dinner at Uncle Bernard's house. A must tradition we do every year and this year, the attendees are more than last year's!! Gabby received angpow from her Chinese grand-uncle, too. There is this one particular boy named Sammy, he's Uncle Bernard's nephew actually. I notice that from last year, he seemed to like Gabby and most of the time clinging to her and they spent their times watching the colorful firecrackers in the sky. When we mocked them, they blushed! How cute.... My cousin Letty mocked them by the names of Gabby & Sammy, so rhyming! My girl first crush!

1st DAY OF NEW YEAR - pee pee at airport
Wanted to visit Dr. Oui's house but her house was fully packed so we detoured to Uncle Bernard's house. Perhaps could visit Dr. Oui later, I told myself. From there we moved from house to house till night! OMG!! Haven't visited Dr. Oui and my Uncle Bob yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(( Anyway, the last place we dropped by at was airport because Gabby and I was too stuffed and we needed to pee. (Soalnya udah kebelet banget, WC bandara jadi korbannya..... *LOL* ntar ada yang pipis di celana, amit² ah!) Mission uncomplished (we missed two houses!) at 11:00 p.m.

2nd DAY OF NEW YEAR - Happy Birthday Apai !
27th January, my father celebrated his 58th birthday on this date. HAPPY BIRTHDAY APAI!! I was damn tired and exhausted from the first day celebrating but this is for my dad, I ignored my exhaustion. Ted could only took these 2 pictures (he was malu malu..cehh!) which I find so adorable.

My funny daddy. Showing off his excitement in front of his cake. Baka anembiaklah nuan (so childish), ahhahahaha!!! Check out those cheekbones, like mine and Gabby's aren't they? *wink

I screamed at the back, "Girl, you should use your fingers to feed Aki. Not like that!!" - Gabby is feeding her grandpa in this picture while grandpa is acting goofy with her. Dad is good in clowning himself and I inherit it from him. DUH :p

Apai, this is something from me to you; hope you like it.

I find myself wondering...
Did I give you your due..
For all that you've done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life's stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong....
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along

I must attend the office the next day, the third day. What to do then, jobs is priority and boss is going on his long leave till February 8. I went to sleep after 2:00 a.m. with a wide smile. My mission to involve 100% in his birthday preparation was finally accomplished.

OK, don't forget to read my other snippettories, till then, bye!

SOME RENOVATION WORKS BEING DONE!

Oh, Hi everyone! How I miss you guys so much much much!

Will be updating my CNY holidays stories and before that, I have done some touch ups to my other blogs. Actually you can click them at my links (Other Snippetory) i.e. MAKAN-MAKAN BLOG and MY PASSIONS. Cool though!!

Anyway, need to clear my desk first and don't worry ya! Will come back with more entries. Till then, take care and muaahhssss from me.

Yours truly.

HAIR - TO STRAIGHTEN OR NOT TO ?

My girl, chubby Gabby always asks me to straighten her hair. It doesn't mean that she hates her wavy hair (which is inherited from me, excuse me) but she says that she wants to disguise like Hannah Montana. Urrgghhh.. she's only 8 plus but her demands is a world! She's way too much sometimes but she's the only one I have.

"Mama, can you please iron my hair... pleasee?"

15 minutes after....

Not too straight but manageable and ruly!

"Thanks Mama! Let us hit the town with this hair!"

Yeah right... (",)



p/s: I'm using my Panasonic Ionity EH1671 hair setter. Easy to use. Just blow dry your hair and set it on!!

PALE PINK LIPS TUTORIAL - WITH GLOSS!

Hello again!

This time I'm coming back with another tut. Pale Pink Lips Tutorial. How about that?

Mind that fugly look, please. Thank you. *LOL*

1. I have prep my face with eyeshadow, blusher, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and eyebrow, in creating the 60's look. Don't forget to brush away the dead skin on the lips by using toothbrush.



2. Get ready for the stuff! LOREAL lipstick (No. 453 Rose Creme), SILKYGIRL Perfect Cover Concealer (02 Medium) and not forgetting, AVON Lip Radiance gloss.


3. Apply the concealer first on your lips, spread neatly.


4. Take that lipstick and smear on !!


5. Last but not least............. for that glamourous final touch, apply the gloss and see your lips do it thing!


The results. What say you?

AVON PRO-TO-GO LIPSTICK WITH SPA 15 - INTIMATE NUDE

I love Reese Witherspoon. I love AVON. They make a nice combo, don't you girls think so?

Well as a spokeperson to AVON, she is promoting this lipstick and I have picked this 'Intimate Nude' because it's not radically red, which I am not fond with. But if you see the pictures, it turns to be so reddish!


Very easy to apply. As it is created for super busy career woman, it comes with one hand application. Just push the so called clip upward and the lipstick will pop out! How easy when you are driving or answering phone call while the other hand applying the smooth satiny lipstick.


See? One hand on camera one hand is applying the product. Super multi-task....


It shines lusciously.



Cute pout. *LOL*

Price: *****
Results: ****

The price is affordable (below RM35) hmmm.. a good price for a medium income worker like me and the reason why I'm giving the results 4 stars only, I want a 'nude', a lighter colour but I don't know maybe because of my lips or it's not 'nude' enough.

Anyway, it doesn't dry up my lips as other AVON lipsticks did in the past and it's suitable for office wear.

I'M PIMPED BY AVON!

I am now officially one of AVON representatives joining millions of women globally! Yes, I'm quite a late bloomer but it's better than never, what say you?

I will make some reviews and tutorial too in this blog for AVON and hope you guys and girls out there will love me more! LOL. Not me, but the products that I purchase so we can share if you have some tips, should you don't care.

Don't you girls out there love Patrick Dempsey? The charming guy with a pair of eccentric eyes from Grey's Anatomy, well his wife Jillian Dempsey is a Makeup Artiste and her collections are available at AVON. Even Mr. Dempsey himself has his own signature perfume called 'UNSCRIPTED'. Awesome!

Mr. & Mrs. Dempsey

UNSCRIPTED by AVON

One of Jillian Dempsey's collections. So gorgeous!Magnetic-close compact with built-in mirror. 4" L x 3 1/4" W. Each gift-ready palette includes:
2 lip colors (.10 oz. total net wt.)
2 eyeshadows (.10 oz. total net wt.)
1 blush (.10 oz. net wt.)
dual-sided applicator


Besides the Dempseys, another two celebrities who are also OSCAR winners also selected as AVON spokepersons. They are:

JENNIFER HUDSON, one of the 'Dreamgirls'

and also,

Reese Witherspoon!

I bought Reese's lipstick this morning, called PRO-TO-GO lipstick in Intimate Nude color. Pro-To-Go is designed for super busy career woman because the lipstick is unique with one hand application, i.e. you can still apply your lipstick with one hand on the car's steering. Will do the review after this! So sit still and wait for me to come back!

Surprisingly, this is a good news to mineral makeup lovers, AVON has range of mineral makeups to opt for. Unfortunately, those aren't ready for Malaysian's market so be patience. I love mineral makeups so much, they are so light and derma-friendly! (Good for those who have blemishes problems like me).

Smooth Mineral Blush

Exceptionally fine, pure mineral powder pigments blend to a naturally luminous finish. Gentle as a breeze, feels like nothing at all. Contains 100% pure mineral pigments. Free of talc and fragrance... for all skin types.

Can't wait to have one of those, so please comment if you feel you want to.

GONG XI FA CHAI EVERYONE!

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the Lunar New Year, especially by people outside China. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

I'd like to wish my Chinese readers, Gong Hei Fat choi!! San Nin Fat Dai Choi! Heheheh... Wishing you a prosperous and joyful year ahead! This coming New Year is OX YEAR so everyone must work hard, as hard as an ox for better performance and achievement. It is a tradition that most of Chinese will do the spring clean before entering the new year so I did that yesterday, the same spring cleaning my office drawers.

Let us take a look at my cleaner and neater drawers.


Drawer No. 1 - all my CDs, Diskettes and Manual for my Telephone and office refrigerator.


Drawer No.2 - Some big bulky office stationeries like the heavy Cellotape dispenser, pencil sharpener, Paper hole punch, markers, batteries and I found a couple of plasters. *LOL


Drawer No. 3 - Personal items. My CJ7 notebook, my office I.D., Johnson's baby lotion, Guardian Handwash and Kissegirl Strawberry Lotion from Etsy.

The Findings.

1. I don't realize that after all that McDonalds deliveries I actually have so many Chilli sauces and Ketchups as many as these!!




2. The cleaner actually has emptied my dustbin, so it was zero empty. When I finished cleaning, I can't believe that all the unwanted things almost occupied the whole bin. *WHOAAAA!!






But at least, I'm satisfied.. still have lot more to go, especially the blue and white Double A boxes behind me in this picture. *LOL. So next week, I'm gonna move to my another cabinets that have 3 drawers too!

I actually have saved some space and will review that next week after the CNY breaks. Phewww...! Hmmm.. Still talking about CNY and stuff, I was born in 1978 and it made me a Horse, a Wooden Horse so I found this horoscope for me and would like to share it with other Horses... Yee Hawww!

Horse

Horses will have many fences to jump in the Year of the Ox, but the year should bring much more happiness than 2008. (More happiness?? Really? Woww..) There is success to be had, both in your home life and in business, (Oh yesss!) but you will have to be careful not to gallop off down the wrong track, as the potential for a tumble is also lurking. (*Gulp!) You should look to old friends and family for advice, (Yes, family and old friends, I heart them) and be wary of counsel from those who may not have your best interests at heart.(Yes, I am now trying to get rid of such viruses.. *LOL)

... Again, would like to wish my friends happy public holiday!!

NO UPDATES.... I'M RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS ACTUALLY. *LOL*

Ya, I know & everyone knows Barack Obama is now the President of The US of the A...

Ya.... I know Michelle is cool and she's the next Jackie O'..... (I have copied/saved her styles in my collections too.. coming soon baby, ngahahhahah!!)

But above all these.....

I love this picture the best!


Thanks to the creator of this picture. You suck a big time because I almost fell down from the chair and laughed like crazy when I saw it. Ngahahahhhaaaa!!! ~ again and again.. :p *evil laughs



p/s: I'm attending a conference at Grand Continental Hotel from 21-22nd January so no updates for this week (cross my fingers). Will update this once I'm ready with my materials. Thank you.

60's MAKEUP

This time I come back with something that I guess that I have built interest in exploring 60's makeup. I am known for heavy smokey eyes in the office so why not trying this technique. Dramatic eyes, featuring mascara used heavily, producing spiked lashes. Shadow is colored or dark. Skin is pale, often from foundation or powder called "translucent." Lips are pale or glittering, rarely showing dark shades. Sounds sweet isn't it? I'm not a falsies follower so I opted for a twice coating mascara application to get that falsies look.


Oh yes, don't forget to wing your eyeliner. I'm using AVON's brand so it's quite good that I'd like to give them 4 stars. See the sweet pink pale lips? I will do the tutorial once I'm ready. So don't forget to follow my blog for the tutorials.



This is the modern 60's makeup to synchronize the timeless beauty.

Please try this and perhaps we can share some of your tips. Just tinkle me!

HELLO, ANYBODY HOME?

This is truly a classic!! True story sent via email. Thanks to Jar Jar the Bink!

Letter from LHDN
A taxpayer called up the LHDN (Inland Revenue Board) in Terengganu, and asked for Form B. The LHDN clerk who answered the call asked for the address to send the form to. The conversation goes:


LHDN CLERK: "Boleh bagi alamat encik?" (Can you give me your address?)
TAXPAYER: "Hantar ke Ranhill Worley." (Send to Ranhill Worley)

LHDN CLERKI: "Ranhill... eja macam mana?" (err... How to spell Ranhill?)

TAXPAYER: "R.. for Rumah... A for Ayam.. N for Nangka... H for Holland... I for itik... L for lain-lain...." (spelling)

LHDN CLERK: "Ok.. nanti kami hantar ke alamat tu" (OK, we will send to that address...)


After waiting for a week, the form arrived - have a look at the address on the envelope!!! Don't know how true it this but that was something super hillarious!

.... The other day, Whilst washing the dishes, Gabby asked me, "Mama, can I join the 'TOM TOM BAK' show?" I asked her, why then she said, "because I can sing now....".. Yeah right... No way Jose! Not until you're 12 then Mama will personally train you for Bintang Kecil. (I was one of the 1990's Bintang Kecil Finalists for Kuching's Division, can't make it to the State Level!! - but my experience was COOL!!) Anyway, CNY is around the corner would like to wish my Chinese friends like Jar Jar the Bink, Cat Cat, Huai Bin, Irene, Foo a very merry GONG XI FA CHAI, ANG BAO BO LAI MEH??? Hahahaahhaha.... (so mengarut!!).

I hope Mr. Hubby will accomplish his 'works' before CNY so that he could be with us again, I really miss his presence on the weekends especially. For sure will attend the CNY's Eve Dinner @ Uncle Bernard's house, the go visiting my bosses' house and perhaps if it's possible (cross my fingers) will visit my grandma in Lundu and have fun there, I miss my granny!

This week I'm quite occupied with courses and online games so there will be some delays in blog updating. Check out my Miss Bimbo, she's evolved in so many ways and groove in so many styles!

MY COLD FRIDAY

Checking my Google desktop, Kuching's temperature is now ..hmm.. let me see, 24 degrees celcius? Bbrrrrr... damn cold but I love this kind of weather!! How I imagine myself wearing long coat and boots to work and ehem ehem and then having nicotine fixed with my cousins, eekkekekee...!! Crazy!

Can I go to work in this attire or not in Kuching?? Hahhahahah!!

... and when I'm at home, I wish to cuddle on my bed with a mug of hot cocoa MILO in my hands to keep me warm.... Naaaayy, stop the fantasy, this is Malaysia lah kawan !! Hahahaha....

My boss is attending a technical meeting in Miri. Since my boss is unavailable technically I will make sure everything is clear and properly arranged first before I hit:

1. My MissBimbo!!!!


My favourite things to do during my free time i.e. checking how is my Bimbo doing, is she hungry or not, does she want to shop at Nine's Boutique or buying some groceries or hitting the club. See how gorgeous my Bimbo is, I bought those outfits for her and they look damn good on her! ..I believe that our Bimbo portrays our real characters and personalities. It's true I guess, look at my Bimbo she has wavy hair like myself. *Sweet.

2. Play Online Games!

I recently downloaded this game called Fix It Up : Kate's Adventures. The story goes like this:

Kate has just finished college and returned home. She finds out that her dad's workshop is at the edge of bankruptcy.

She decides to restore family business. Will she succeed? It is up to you! Challenges await at 6 different locations, with over 10 different car types, 6 workshop buildings and many hidden surprises.

Do you have what it takes to run a car workshop? Don't just wait, download the game and find out!

Yayyy! I find the game is very cool and yes, I purchased the game already. Don't give that look, I've purchased a lot of online games...heheheheh..*SOrry Hubby.. Ekekekeke.. he will kill me if he ever reads this!


3. Last but not least.. watching TV3's website!

Oh yeazzzzzzaaarrrrr!!! I'm so very very committed and addicted to Spa Q2, Puaka Niyang Rapik, Pemanduku Jutawan, Kasanova XXL and Ku Milikmu. Don't laugh OK?

*LOL*

I never watch them on TV as you know TV3 loves to slot so many stupid commercials so I prefer to watch the online dramas. Very savvy while doing my work in the office at least I don't fall asleep in boredom. Hehe...

Eh, it's almost 5:00 p.m. now. Gotta to clear my desktop, enough of watching online dramas.

Take care readers, I'm so hungry now... so very hungry I am in the coldness...

XoXo!!

SMOKEY EYESHADOW AGAIN!

Oh how I luv these makeup! Saya suka mekap begini!



Too much for office wear right, but who cares! It is so just me...

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT?

Not so in the mood now. Yesterday was worst. Went to Choice Premier after office hours to buy cornflakes & Milo for Gabby. Didn't in the mood to eat rice too so I bought Knorr's Creamy Chicken Soup, a packet of Danpo's Chicken Wing and grabbed a loaf of French Bread! Hubby took 2 packets of instant noodles.


Once arrived at home, I took off my jacket and fried the chicken wings, heated up the creamy soup. Then, I cut off the French Bread. Everything was served and ready by 8:00 p.m. Gabby pushed away the rice plate, "I just want the soup Mama.." Oh, good! A good sign, at least she had something light tonight. No rice or fried eggs as usual.


Entered the bedroom after helping MIL washing the dishes. I sat down on the settee whilst chit chatting with hubby then I didn't realize that we both doze off after that. - with my office attire!!! I woke up at 1:00 a.m. and screamed! *Yyyhhh...nooooooooooo!!" I then ran to the washroom to wash my face, armpits and feet before going to sleep. NO way to touch the cold water, burrr brurrrrr!!!!


So I 'fainted' again and woke up at 5:45 a.m. this morning feel refresher and lighter. Well at least I woke up earlier than last week.

Darn...I'm so worn out....

RM1 MILLION TOILETS???

GEORGE TOWN: Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng yesterday expressed shock that the cost of recent renovations to toilets at the Bayan Lepas International Airport came to RM1 million.

Lim, who held a meeting with airport officials in Komtar yesterday, said he was briefed that the renovation costs for the toilets amounted to RM250,000 each.

"I was told there are four toilets. They must indeed be very expensive toilets."

The airport's senior manager, Abdul Wahab Yusof, had earlier informed Lim that the high cost was due to vandalism.

"That is why the cost came to about RM250,000 each," he said.
Lim had, during the meeting, urged airport authorities to maintain cleanliness in the airport's toilets.

"I have received complaints that the toilets are very dirty.

"I am sure tourists arriving at the airport, and others who use the toilets, will be disgusted if they are dirty."

Wahhh.... RM1 mil eh???!!!!

How does it feel to place your butt on the bowl......

Does your butt worth RM 1 million to match the price?

I wonder how do the toilet bowls look like, .... went to ASTRO HQ at Bukit Jalil and peed there in 2004 I still feel like a 'Sakai' because it was damn comfortable and 'friendly user' too.

Hmmm... whosoever has visited these toilets please put on your blog and tinkle me.

I wanna see the pictures and read your story about it.

Damn!

RM 1 million.... damn, damn,

:p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCELOT!

My brother, Rodriguez has gone back to his college. We had a small celebration for Lancelot Thomas, my 8 years old nephew last Monday. It's a tradition to hold a 2 in 1 celebration before my brother goes back to his college in Negeri Sembilan. For those who want to know, he's doing his final year of Bach. in Theology in Malaysia Theological Seminary in Seremban. He will be graduating this October. You can visit his blog, HERE <-- Just click.


My girl and her favourite dress, she has other dresses but still insisted to wear this one. Can you see the whitish powder on her dress? It's her baby powder! Funny my girl.....


My sweetheart, Ashlyn Cassandra who is now 2 months old. Isn't she an angel? She looks like Winnie the Pooh... *LOL* so cute!


This is Mom and Rodriguez. Ignore of his face, why on earth must he smile like that? My bro is a man now, oh ya..he'll celebrate his 25th birthday this January 18!!


Girls are normally growing faster than boys. See this picture for instance. Gabby is only 2 months older than Lancelot but phewwww!! She's a few inches taller!


I know Dad is sometimes way too much to show his affection but must he feed Lancelot by using this plastic knife? Kids, don't do this at home. *LOL* I snapped this candidly, aaaawwwww sho shwwwweeeettt....


The house breaker, the sweetheart and eye candy. He also has a weird name, 'PooshTenTen' (Pronounce as Pushtenten).. Don't ask me what does it mean. I just only know how to make him say 'purrr..purrr..'.


Simple food that always turned out so deliciously after being blessed. Mom cooked Chicken with Ginseng. Yum.


The cake that stirred some controversies that night. Why?

Can you see the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sign made from chocolate! Lancelot adored it so much and wanted to eat that actually but his aunty, Yours Truly had swallowed it earlier... ahaahaha.. after the cake cutting! Sorry Boboy, I didn't mean to do that.... perhaps we can go to KFC next time, my treat!

Deal??

Anyway, Happy Birthday sayang, grow wiser, grow smarter but please less naughtier.
