Against human and animal cruelty

I don't like being MIA.

But I'm still working ya know.
Even though its at shitty Consult Group. Where the bosses don't really give a damn about you cos all they want is money money money.

'Employee welfare is overrated'.
*roll eyes*

Anyhow, I'm leaving you with this vid to ruin your day too.

Pledge to go fur-free at PETA.org.

Dogs being skinned alive to supply fur to the worldwide fur industry.

I nearly puked watching it. And shed more than one tear.

To do your part in stopping this, complete the PETA opinion poll.
It'll only take you 2 minutes. 3 if you read slow.
Then put in your name and email as a last step to show your support, so PETA can help stop this cruelty.

Wish me luck for another crappy day.

Swipe swipe swipe away!

I want to rave.
No.
I need to rave.

About the abso-effing-lutely fantastic Clinique toner I've been using since I got it a month back.

Don't believe me?
See dis.

After I cleansed my face with the Clinique Mild Facial Cleanser, I used XX toner on the right side of my face, and the Clinique toner on the left side of my side.
(And my right side is the 'dirtier' side okay! Always more clogged pores and blackhead and pimples breakouts.)

XX toner

Clinique #2 Clarifying toner

(Click on images to see full effect. I know blur lar. I was nekkit in my badlighting room. How to walk out for better lighting.)

And because I kennot tahan leaving the dirtier side of my face feeling dirty, I reswiped that side using the Clinique toner again.

See! Lagi lapsap!

The Clinique cleanser and moisturiser are awesome possum too, but I can honestly find others as good as theirs.

But kennot find for the toner lor!!!
(Also, the XX toner I'm referring to is no cheapskate toner alright. Its specially formulated for combination/ oily skin and cost RM90 per bottle.)

The important thing is to get the right level.

Clarifying Lotion #1 to #4

Clarifying Moisturising Lotion #1 to #4

To better understand the differences, click here.

A few years ago, I simply went to a Clinique counter in Australia, and the girl passed me the #3 I think.

I accidentally poured too much onto a cotton pad and the cotton was dripping everywhere.
Being the cheapskate Chinese student, I just swiped all over my neck (cos I had already swiped my face).

Tada. Rashes that very day.

Lesson: Clinique toner has alcohol in it. Too much of it will dry out ur skin.

But u gotta remember though, that alcohol isn't bad for your skin.
For ur liver yes lar.
But if cannot use for skin why doctors still use to swab ur skin before poking u wif a needle??
Its cos its the best 'cleaner' around k.

Anyhoo, after that, I tried using the Clarifying Moisturising #1 (which clarifies too, but has more moisturising properties.)
Not strong enough.

So I shifted to #2.
Not strong enough.

I tried Clarifying #1.
Not strong enough.
(Yes. My skin mildly resembles elephant hide.)

So I finally settled on Clarifying #2.
And WALAH!!!
PERFECTO MECTO I KID U NOT.

And how do I know that?
Cos it helps me to swipe away all the extra dirt and skin cells cleansers can't get a grip on, thus causing better absorption of the moisturiser.

And cos the moisturiser can be absorbed well into the skin sans dead skin cells and dirt...
It means less blackheads.
Less whiteheads.
And less pimples.

I iz serious.

I tried the toner with other cleansers and moisturisers, and SAME EFFECT.

So u wanna know d secret to clear skin.
I dah tell u lar.

Of cosh must pair wif good cleanser and moisturisers hor.
Which I will share next time.

So remember.
Clinique Clarifying Lotion = Clear skin
^^

Bliss...

Do I dare...

It was by a fluke of a conversation. A random google.

That I found this.

About two months ago I felt I was in for something different.
About a month ago I wondered if it was studying.
A day ago I wondered if studying in Europe was too big to dream for.

I'm getting excited. So excited.

It doesn't make sense.
The money doesn't make sense.
The city doesn't make sense.
The timing doesn't make sense.

But I can't help but get excited.

Weekend Getaway

I went to Malacca for the weekend to visit one of my best friends together with another best friend.

Christine is not a demon. She had an eye infection.

It was an amazing weekend filled where we shared our fears and worries, and yet laughed with true joy with one another.

I left with a painful souvenior.
Burns from the sun.

Chin's tan a gorgeous brown. Mine a failed lobster red.

(Even now my back is screaming in pain with skin peeling everywhere and the areas which my bra had rubbed on for the whole day are swollen and mildly inflamed.)

We ended the trip with the best cake I've ever eaten in my entire life.

The famous Malacca Jap fluffy cheesecake.

And I normally don't like cheesecakes. And fruits on my cake.
Happy upcoming bday to me.

The best weekend ever.

I didn't want to come back.

Earning the Trust

So I get it.

You weren't there for me. Which caused me to get depressed and act mean to get back at you. That made u mean to me. Which made me distrust you.

Its a whole vicious cycle of events.
And its because we're all imperfect.

But I don't get why its so hard to let it go as this.
I admitted my wrongs.
Why can't you admit yours too?

I can only do my best to stop this vicious cycle.

I'm still going to love you. Respect you.

But I can't let you continue hurting me.

So when I say I don't trust you anymore.
Don't take it the wrong way.

Its my way of finding a balance to continue listening to you,
respecting you,
loving you.

Yet not be hurt by the way you're continuing to not believe in me,
respect me,
love me.

And you can say you don't need to prove to me that you do love me.
I say its your right. Its your prerogative.

But you can't force me to open my heart to you until I trust you again.

And you can threaten to not promote me.
Continue thinking the worst of me.
Tell the world how terrible a person I am.

But I can finally say this.

I know who I am.

I am loved by God.
I am loved by true friends.
And I have loved you unconditionally.

And your threats will not make a difference in my life anymore.

MDG 2 Finale

I am loving this season of MDG.

I absolutely LOVE the Top 3. My favorites are 2/3! ^^

And after watching the season so far, I do agree that Pinky deserves to be here more than Natasha, so yayy for all!

And because I have frens in high places *ahem ahem*. ^^
I got a Pass to watch the finale at The Curve this Friday!!

I refused to go to last year's just cos I absolutely hated the thought of having to watch the live version of don'tdeservetowinCindy doing her whole "fake gasp omgiwon (as if i didn't know my daddy wudn't come thru) look".

This year. I will be cheering and screaming loud, dramatically with tears in my eyes, whoever wins.
Just cos all 3 are darn fantastic. Worked hard. And deserve to win.

See all you who are going dis Friday!

The power of belief

And it was like the sun broke through the dark clouds drizzling on my head nonstop these past two months.

I honestly don't know if you're really 100% right.
But I figure you have to be more accurate than the messed up noggin' of mine now.

So I'll stay.
Because you believed in me first.

Thank you.

Wanted: Zs

I can't remember the last time I just fell asleep easily.

I've never really known what its like to not be able to sleep.

Give me a slightly softer than cement floor and a makeshit pillow and blankie, and I'll be snoring in minutes.

But its been a month. Maybe two.
The demons just won't let me sleep.

I've never in my life had so much shit happen to me that the stress won't let me sleep.

Family. Church. Work. Friends.
Its all messed up.

Just so messed up.

And I don't know how much longer I can keep this up before I turn to medication.

Mraz was here. And left.

Super long overdue post.

Went to Mraz couple of months back with orang-orang ini.

Tom, Tim, Jacob, Pam, Louise

Louise and I left the booking arrangements to Pam/ Tom so we only realised we were getting numbered seats too late.

At first we were like.. "Y numbered seats lah! More exp and more far away!"

But when we actually got der we were like omgweluvpamandtom cos it was CRAZY in der.

Don beliv me? Nah. Video proof.

See.
Crazy screaming hopping crowd everywhere.

In all honesty I wasn't a big fan of Mraz.
(I only know two of his songs lah. I jz went for da fun of it.)
But his concert was so friggin' awesome.

So.
Friggin'.
Awesome.

The amount of talent in dis dude cud fill Sg Buloh and still make him an above average dude who can teng teng complex tunes.

He was so good, the crowd was screaming all the way and even followed him when he made weird noises.
I kid u not.

I would upload the vid but stupid blogger is not letting me!!!!
And I tried 3 times!!
>=(

Summore I had promised to upload Geek in the Pink to Ms Geek in Pink.

Me: I went to see Mraz last night!!
Me: He sang Geek in Pink!!
IH: Haha! I know ady lah. Lotsa ppl have been telling me.
Me: Hmph. Fine.
Me: But I bet no one actually recorded the performance so dat u can see right??
Me: Right right??????
IH: Haha! Yalar yalar. U win all lah.
Me: I rulez.

So HOW NOW. And don't tell me get a YouTube account!! I have too many useless webbie accounts as it is. *Grumble*

Anyway, will update once I find a way to get it on.

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

Edited: 10/5/09 11:13pm
So I caved in and got a YouTube account.

Watch and enjoy his perfectpitch awesomeness.

STGE feed

And I'm definitely NOT talking about sth techy.

I'm making up for my whole week of silence with banyak blogs in a shot.

Dis one is about a shoe store my friend and I randomly walked into yesterday because the front sign screamed:

SALE!
Up to 80% off!!!

And it was my friend's vice.
A shoe store.

STGE, to be exact (sans the shoe).
Where they sell Celeb designer brands like J.Lo and Steve Madden.

I think their closing down cos business hasn't been good at all.
BUt I guess that means good news for us, cos my friend managed to buy two pairs of J.Lo shoes for RM300 total.

And while I was waiting for her to finish her vicefeed, I tripped into a section which was my vicefeed.

Bags.

And not just bags.

Celeb.
Designer.
Bags.

How fast can u say drool.

Anyhow, I managed to smack my hands silly.
Also despite the supposed 'big names' I didn't know many.
And I settled to get only dis.

Cute Kathy Van Zeeland pouch bag.
Complete wif Juicy lookalike logo.
Only RM70.
(Ori RM200 mahhhhhhhhhh... *toink two fingers togedah*)

STGE is located at Pavilion, Level 2, at the Bintang Circle.

Meowser Rules

Today is Meowser's burthdae!!!!!!!!!!

Kitteh wif kitteh

I call her Meowser cos she's all slim and flexible. Jz like a kitteh.
And hawt like kittehs too. ^^
(She packs a whammy doing karate, yet flits beautifully in belly dancing.)

And da pretty grey real kitty on the right is called Mariah.
Terrible name, but she gorgeous nonetheless.

JD was my roomie in Brissy and one of the best fren's I have the priviledge of having.

Before I even started 'i call it art', she was cheering me on. Believing in me. Rooting for me.
And I don't care how much u say, its actions dat count.

And Jody gal goes all d way in her actions. =)

I muchos lurve u kitty kat. *scratch behind ears*
HAPPEEEEEEEE BURTHDAAAAEEEEEE...!!!

Nothingness

I'm at home. Not going out. Not doing anything.

Just cos I want to.

Its the best feeling ever.

I wish I could just disappear from earth right now and never have to go to church or work anymore.

Gravity

Kitteh sent me this song some time ago.

I listen to it all the time. It makes me feel like falling and losing myself over and over again.

Its such a blissful feeling...
Listen and fall with me...

Gravity
By Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

Chorus:
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
