Times Like this.

Went for a short trip to Port Dickson last week, just me and him.
That trip was much needed as we were both crazy behind schedules for everything, especially me, whose works only seemed to expand rather than finish.
The beach was strangely deserted, not something I would normally complained about, but it was peculiar. I guess I was used to the hustle and bustle.
Anyhow, had a great duo time. :)
Yes, Time.
Time is the most precious gift that either one of us could give to the other, both of us had very little of it at the moment and to give Time is like pressing the pause button on a remote control and you wouldn't know when to play it back.
Time to use is the exchange of ILoveYou's or the money spent on an expensive perfume or a bountiful dinner together by the lake or a two-seats in a Gold Class Cinema.
Time like this is unspeakable, laced in perfect moments and the old expertise of putting yourself in the best form and trying not to ruin the situations with your flick of a tongue.
One that we have managed to do, successfully, most of the time.
Yes, because of Time.

It's sunset now again.

Bye all!

Something that I wish Time would spare :-
http://cikdelin.blogspot.com/2011/03/are-you-mine.html

the water runs deep, not the conversation.

Mate Berry Elianto Lipstick in 03, Fair & Lovely Anti Marks Skin Brightening Cream, Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer, Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner, Etude House Eyeshadow (don't know the name, but it was one of the few matte colours in a semi-light shade. think they only have four matte eyeshadows), Elianto Brow Pencil in Dark Brown, Elianto Vibrant Shadow in Ivory Black, Elianto Vibrant Shadow in Irish Coffee.

I went for a shopping trip few weeks ago and purchased these. I was mainly going to get things from Etude House because I know I was going to be rewarded for the points that I've collected so far. They let me choose between some facial cleansers (which all looked the same except that they contained different dominant fruit ingredients) and this babies :-


This is a sample of their pore-tightening line, comes with a mini cleanser and a serum. I couldn't read what it says, it's written in Korean languange and was all greek to me. But I am sure I could look it up somewhere ( maybe I'm lucky enough to find a Lee Min Ho ad? )

I bought extra things that I thought I might need for the dinners that I would go to. Already I have one more this coming weekend and one already attended. I bought the cherry lipstick because I know I wanted to do a pin up look that day previously, and I didn't want to go bold red. In fact, Elianto lipsticks have a reputation of tasting good on the lips, by that I mean you are tempted to lick 'em good! Like this one over here, it literally smells like cinamon even if you hold it far enough from your nose.

The eye primer from Etude House has, in my opinion, beats the one I got from Elianto a while ago (the small rounded pot with a mirror in it). In fact, the latter has already been converted to become a highlighter for my cheekbones. This one from Etude House is in liquid form, and dries out really quickly before applying the eyeshadows and the eyeshadows would stay on for hours in a day. Unlike the one from Elianto which was all sticky. So I say, Etude House eye primer is a hit so far.

The eyeshadows I bought- the matte one from Etude House was mainly for all over the eye lids, as it is not light enough to become a highlight for the brow bone, and it was not dark enough to pop in the outer corner of the eyes. So for an all over eyelid colour or a base would be fine. There was a phase which I have gone to with Elianto eyeshadows, there were times in the beginning (when it was sold for RM5 a pan) that it was really excellent despite the cheapo price. But right after that until now, it's quality have somehow decreased. I think the two shadows that I bought about are good enough to the point that it is gradually climbing up to its name. I should be proud. Thumbs up Elianto! (And oh, on a sidenote, I managed to get into the Elianto Redemption Programme, sort of like the Etude House Beauty Passport as well) Can't wait to score big!

I am in a phase where I am all about my eyebrows. Eventhough I don't go for threading or even plucked my eyebrows, I love to shape them or even them out with eyebrow pencil. I used my Silkygirl black eyebrow pencil and by far it is the best drugstore brand I have ever tried. The lady from Elianto suggested that I try a dark brown shade as according to her, it is more subtle. But once I've used it, I was really dissapointed as it doesn't give out colors much, all "subtleness" aside, and instead it left a noticeable brown streak against my black eyebrows. Not a good hit, would definitely used this eyebrow pencil for something else then.

The other two skincare items I purchased because my skin is in dire need of rejuvenation. Will definitely blog about it in the future when I have seen results :)

Bye all!

I guess all I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for my absence

I feel like I'm bulls****ing these days. This blog wouldn't be alive for the heck of it- if I were to continue kidding myself that it's okay to treat the day like it has 25 hours for all the works I am responsible to, and drowning myself to the point of suffocation to the brink of the ticking clock. It ain't good. It ain't even make sense, not even for me =__=

Guess I have much to live up too, and having lived for the past 22 years and still does not feel the familiarity of the hustle and bustle is literally, in my opinion, worth a lower of the head. Not to embarrassment, but to acknowledgment. Acknowledgment is like taking a leap instead of a step towards self-recognition. And to acknowledge the fact that I don't think I live up to the connotation that "women are multitaskers" is really no longer a leap for me. That's like I'm admitting that I think I am courageous enough to let the population knows that I have dry feet, it patches. See there? No secret.

But then again, who doesn't want to even fantasizing over deliberateness, intervals or collective outcomes from the pumping heart and the working brain over matters which we think have a separate calender of its own? Be honest and tell me who does not even brag or boast about being the old-hand in handling worldly matters, don't we all preach that almost all the things in life would not secure us a safe and handy or nearly successful checklist in our cool deathbed, and so we do not hasten over matters for the more beneficial rewards that would regrettably (but nothing out of order), almost always come at the end of the daintiness procrastination? beautifully true, I believe Kurt Cobain would have spare the last drug if he knew Facebook now can save him from boredom to the point of death.

See there? No harm done at all.

Even Mark Zuckerberg thinks he should take a break. Isn't The Social Network a hint enough?
( walaupun tak tengok.. )

Bye u'olls. For now je, I promise.

Alhamdullilah!

Hai Semua.

Pertama sekali, maaf sebab dah lama tak update blog. Saya memang busy yang teramat sangat. Sekarang ni pun, masih ada satu assignment yang perlu dihantar lagi. Lepas ni, pening dengan Project Paper/Thesis pulak. Adoi, singkatnya masa. Dalam masa yang sama, kena uruskan projek majalah fakulti ni. Lepas ni cuti, kena buat attachment pulak untuk 2 bulan. Lepas lepas tu, baru free----->


Ya Allah, permudahkanlah segala perjalanan urusanku. Amin.

Oh ye, dekat sini saya nak bagitau, kaki saya sudak semakin membaik, Alhamdullilah. Memang syukur sangat-sangat. Bak kata orang, bila sesuatu tu ditarik daripada kita, barulah kita tau rasa nikmatnya yang selama ni kita buat endah tak endah je. Seriously, sekarang ni kalau saya berjaya berjalan ulang-alik ke toilet dari bilik pun saya dah rasa ianya satu achievement. Hehe..achievement sangat, tu gambar dekat atas tu dah boleh berjalan-jalan pergi IKEA dah semalam. :) Sekali lagi, syukur Alhamdullilah.

Malam ni ada game futsal, tapi awal-awal lagi saya telah ditegah daripada bermain. Rasa sedih jugak tapi takpelah, ini semua untuk kebaikan saya. Apa-apa pun, Alhamdullilah saya ada kawan-kawan yang prihatin tentang diri saya (walaupun most of the time, mereka ni memang gila-gila sikit). Saya doakan, tahun ni pasukan futsal dapat bermain dengan baik, kalau menang lebih baik =]

Akhir sekali, minta maaf juga sebab dah terlalu lama saya tak update/review pasal mana-mana beauty products. Saya memang tak berpeluang langsung nak tengok produk terbaru yang ada dekat Watson/Guardian/SaSa/Shins sekarang. Tapi dalam kepala ni mengharapkan untuk dapat beli produk ini-------->

Ini foundation terbaru dari Loreal. Sangat-sangat berminat untuk cuba. Harap-harap datang ke Malaysia segera. Hehe..kalau dapat beli, emm, Alhamdullilah!

Bai Semua!

your space is too big to fit in my suitcase!

Kau, adalah suara terindah, buatan terindah pernah aku jumpa
Walau aku tak pernah memanhami sebutanmu atau kamu sedar kewujudanmu
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab aku boleh tersenyum di kala satu dunia mengecewakan
Walau aku tak pernah memahami ertinya dan Tuhan saja ada jawapannya
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab aku berterima kasih pada Tuhan untuk apa-apa perbuatan baik masa lampau yang pernah aku lakukan
Walau aku tak pernah teringat jauh lagi mengsengajakan
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah setiap tindakbalas perbuatanku, percakapanku, ingatanku
Walau kau tidak selalu berada dekat denganku
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.


Kau, adalah sebab jika aku berubah, aku berubah demi kau
Walau kau tidak pernah meminta jauh lagi memaksa
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab aku merasakan hidup ini terlampau pendek untuk jarak usia kita
Walau kau selalu membuatkan aku sebaya denganmu, kau sematang denganku
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah jawapan pada segala pertanyaan tujuan hidupku
Walau kehadiran kau masih awal untuk menjustifikasikan konklusi itu
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab tanpa aku perlu berbuat apa-apa pun aku sudah merasa tenang
Walau membesarkanmu satu cubaan yang memenatkan
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab aku tidak kisah mengorbankan masa
Walau dengan kau sebenarnya masa terasa begitu singkat
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.

Kau, adalah sebab aku merasakan Tuhan itu menyayangi aku
Walau kau kecil polos, suci tanpa dosa dan aku sebaliknya
Kau terlalu besar buat hidupku.
