Hectic CNY

It has been a long week for me. You guys must be wondering what am I so busy about since it is the holidays. But for me holidays means taking care of the little ones. I drove back from KL last Thursday morning and by Saturday I drove my family back to KL to celebrate CNY. Then by Monday I’m driving back to Taiping again. Up and down like this is taking up so much of my energy. When I finally came back I was dead tired.

On Monday itself I was asked by hubby’s family to go out for dinner at Sushi King so I went along. Then Tuesday I already had planned to have dinner with hubby’s whole family as all his relatives were coming down. But he came to take me out earlier saying that he wanted to have lunch with me first. He surprised me when he actually planned to take me to Lake Gardens to take photos. We took bout 240 photos and chose 50 nice ones and uploaded it to facebook.  You can check them out here. The pictures to me looks amazing and the weather was on our side. It was a sweet outdoor date that I rarely do. Thanks dear for that fine day:-D

As for yesterday I went to a gathering with some of my friends from high school. Some of them have really change, I’m not talking about their outlook, I’m referring to how matured they have become. Some really have grown up since our high school days. Some who used to disagree with me have became closer to me. People really do change, each year you see them they are different from the year before. I hope to see them soon.

Happy always.

Early Valentine’s+Valentine look

Progress test was over yesterday and I skipped class to get ready to go out with him. We won’t be able to celebrate Valentine’s together this year because it falls on the same day as Lunar New Year. We will be in separate places on that day. I just came back to Taiping today and on Saturday I’m going back to KL again to celebrate CNY with mom’s side of the family. So, back to the story, we planned to go to Shabu Shabu to have an early Valentine’s together. I dressed up for almost two hours for it! I know I’m crazy when it comes to my patience in dressing up for my man. When I was done his class was over too and just in time to pick me up. We drove to KL centre for about an hour, traffic was terrible. We ordered food and I was so Tam Chiak that once the sup was boiled I just drank it without waiting it to cool and that the reason why till today I still have a numb tongue :-(

Then we went to Pavillion wanting to catch a movie but nothing interesting was on so hubby went clothes- searching with me. I saw some clothes that I liked in MNG but too bad it was teared a little and tat was the last piece. Hubby then drove me to Mid Valley to search the MNG there but with no success. We ended up with Juice Works in our hand and leaving for home to rest.

This are the things I received for my valentine’s:

flowers!

so cute!

card

There is one more gift missing here. Will post it once i get back to my hostel in KL :-)

And here is the outcome of my 2 hours of dressing up after the long day ( makeup melted a little already) :

i love purple so much!

blue+pink+purple

I’m so liking purple shadow!

Here is my hair and full look:

messy hair!

I purposely messed up my curls, I like this hair style but I think its tad too over the top if I go to class like this :-P

When my hair and makeup was still fresh…

Enjoy your holidays!

Happy always.

CNY mood and Makeup!

This whole week will be the progress test week but I guess most will not be in the mood. Chinese New Year is less than one week away. I know everyone is missing home and in the mood for celebration right? :-D I know I am. Actually I don’t really mind about the new year, I’m more excited about this Wednesday. Me and dear going to Shabu Shabu in KL centre for early Valentine’s dinner. And I’m actually anxious about the result of last December 09 exams’. It will be out in exactly 2 weeks from now. I’m going back to my hometown on Thursday and probably coming back to KL again on Sunday to celebrate CNY with mum’s side of the family.

Lately the shopping malls are so crowded. Yesterday I went to gym at 10 am and when I came out at 12 pm Pyramid was so up and about. My boyfriend said it’s so nice seeing so many people cause it means CNY is closing us.

I went shopping for make up yesterday as he promise to pay for it. I told him to give me RM50 and I promise there will be 20 cents change. I ended up only with 3 items and RM16 saved. 3 items for RM34 is actually pretty cheap. I’ve been looking for alternatives to high end makeup and found some pretty great deals. Here are the things I bought:

make up freak me!

Hubby paid for these 3! Wanted to get an eyeliner too but if I did then over the budget already. Next round la!
I bought the Maybeline Angelfit concealer in 02 for RM17 and the falsie for RM8. Told you it was cheap! I bought these two at SaSa outlet. The falsie looks very natural when I tried it yesterday.
And the third item is my eyeshadow brush, I saw something similar in SaSa selling for RM35.90, but I went to elianto and got it only at RM7! What a bargain! It feels kinda good getting your moneys worth, see hubby, I learnt something from you already. Now I’m a proud owner of 17 brushes! ;-)  Thanks hubby!

Forgot to tell you, I’ve been going online-shopping crazy lately. The most recent purchase is my Benefit Powderrazi which cost Rm70. Here are some images of it:

Powderazzi

3 in 1!

with flash

Its actually blushes, bronzer and contouring powder all in one. Usually Benefits product sells at over RM100, but apparently this website call Dressing Case had access to rejected packaging Benefits product which sells at a fraction of the original price. I have been using the blusher but no time to learn how to contour my face yet but haven’t had any allergy or bad reaction (yet) and hopefully will not. Other than the brush keep shredding I don’t have any problem buying it ‘cheap’.

I just purchase something online again yesterday, it’s a face primer and I read some good review about it so I will report as soon as my package arrive.

Happy always.
