Wedding Dress+ Dog-Shopping

Just came back from The Curve at Damansara. The purpose of me going there today is to search for a dress to wear to my BF’s sis wedding in May. After searching for it at so many places I almost gave up. The shops either have the right colour but wrong size or all together just ill fitting. Finally I found one that today, here is the picture of it :

It’s a pretty tube dress in deep purple colour. Satin like material just makes it look elegant enough for a wedding dinner.

Since I was already at The Curve I stop by the Pets Safari to pick up some of my doggie stuff. All I can say is it is not cheap having a pet dog. ADVISE TO ALL: think twice (or 3 times or forever!) before getting a pet dog as it is like having a baby of your own. When you buy a pet you might think it’s all puppy cuteness but be sure to include sleepless nights and diaper changing into the picture. That is what happen to me for the first week Tobbie was with me, barking in the middle of the night to pee and poop.

But now as days go by I think I handled taking care of her pretty well. But do keep in mind that this is not the first time I’m looking after a dog, I’ve two poodles before this. First timer will definitely feel stress out unless you are very very very very very x10 patience which I’m not. I did snap a few times thinking: ‘ WTH did I bring this onto myself!’. But luckily I manage to come to my senses. I spent at least two hours last night on YouTube watching all kinds of videos teaching how to train your pet dog. I hope when I try it on Tobbie it will work. There’s one program on National Geography that is called Dog Whisperer seems very interesting. How I hope now I have Astro so that I can watch it. It is about a guy who tame aggressive dogs.

With my hope of training my dog to be a better one, I bought training biscuit made out of fish. You heard right, it is fish biscuit for dogs. It seems to be the newest IT thing for the dogs called fish for dogs.

It’s shaped like a star and smells like fish too. Nowadays thanks to the influence of Paris Hilton and her dress in pink Chihuahua, all kinds of things claimed to make your dog smart and healthy are coming out. Doesn’t it sounds a bit like the milk powder advertisement for babies? :-P

Here are all the things I bought from the pet store today :

Bought 2 cans of the training biscuit each for RM12+ (expensive!), 2 poop bags, one pack of dental treats, one new lease and one toy that rattles (again don’t you see how similar this one is to a human baby toy? told you they were treating dogs like children).

And finally a random picture of Tobbie :

Happy always.

BLUE SMOKEY EYES

It’s again exam week for me. It gets so stress and hectic whenever it’s this time of the semester. Lecturers rushing to finish the syllabus and students busy preparing  for the finals. With all this going around me I feel so stress and I really if could, want to finish this cycle as soon as possible. At times it feels like I’m stuck in a never ending nightmare where books are circulating me. Luckily I’ve my own method of releasing my stress—– MAKEUP!

Truthfully that’s the only way to clam my nerves and to take my mind off everything. Problem is I never come back to my senses, for example, now I’m still on the laptop despite having a test tomorrow morning. Moving on, this is a look I’ve done few days ago when I was pretty upset, but it did make me feel better afterwards. Here goes:

I tried to curl my hair with my Philips heat curler and I should say I like how it turn out.

I wing the eye liner at the end,effect is not quite clear in this picture.

Under camera flash the colours appeared more vibrant. I just love the shimmers from my Majorlica eyeshadow palette. No one makes the bling bling better than the Japanese.

I finally manage to get my eyelashes to curl up wit the help of my new Panasonic heated lash curler:

I got it for Rm49 at Harvey Norman. It operates using one AA battery and is really simple to use. I say it would benefit mono lids the most as lashes then to be cover over by the lid but this baby will lift them up like you never seem them before. But I say use it with a waterproof mascara. When I use the curler with non-waterproof mascara the heat tend to ‘melt off’ the mascara leaving the lashes as if none were applied in the first place.

And the lash curler is in pink! SO SO Kawaii! :-P

Happy weekends!

Disappeared…

I know I have been gone for so long and the blog has been rather ‘dusty’ too. I wasn’t away or anything, just that ever since I move out I haven’t got my Internet connection set up until this Friday. It look more than a month to get the Internet connection due to some complication but glad it was finally done though.

I just came back from my hometown just now at 4pm. I went home for the weekends as hubby missed home and hadn’t been back for 2 months. Its a very short trip though as I did not even stayed home for 48 hours and I’m back here already. The first thing I notice was how huge my poodles at home were. OK la, they didn’t grow, just that I’m used to looking at Tobbie which is only one fifth of their weight :-P

Here’s one of my poodle and also my first pet:

bushie!

His name is Bushie and is a five years old fat poodle :-D But love him so much as he loves to accompany me till late night when I used to prepare for spm.

view from top...

You can tell he is bit unhealthy from the tear stain. This is what happens when you spoil a dog by feeding it whatever humans eat. My mom feed the dogs vege, fruits e.g durian and ice-cream.

When to dinner with family on the night I went back:

mom and dad...

My mom and dad. Who do you think I look more alike to? Hmmm…..

And here some thing I did very randomly the other day out if boredom:

03042010466

It’s french nails with a bit of a twist. Sis says it looks like the colours of a flamingo.

Finally, my baby:

sleeping beauty...

Sleeping so peacefully…

And as you know I now own a short bob but my hair had grown since when I first cut it into some crazy mess. So no picture until it is long enough to make me not look like I just came from a cat fight.

Happy always.
