Kitty Craze, Kitty Nails ~ Hello Kitty

With my recent craze in Hello Kitty (all thanks to that special someone), I decided to do up a Hello Kitty nails for my business trip to KL. I wasn't really confident in freehand, especially a kitty but i decided to do it anyway.

Haha, as you can see from the photo, my kitty design wasn't perfect. As i really isn't a professional at freehand yet, i didn't realised my french manicure was too thin to fit in hello kitty's ribbon! What a muddle-head i am!

Hope it didn't too weird & un-kitty-like in this nail art, hehe...

人难做。。。

This has nothing to do with fashion, makeup nor nail polishes.but i'm just gonna post it anyway. 正所为，有事憋在心里不吐不快，要吐就吐的爽快！

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

Why...is it that 人那么难做? To ensure one be guided on the right path, should one be the bad guy, a devil...

Or the good guy, a soft & ever-smiling one?

It's not easy to strike a balance. It never was, it never is. Therefore, at this point of time, the feeling of being SANDWICHED hits upon onself...

Yummy as it may looks, delicious as it may taste, yet the after-taste of it is always....BITTER.

Even so, I firmly believe that using the right approach at the right time will be the most appropriate way of guidance. Such situation can happen in many instances, in all aspects of one self's life, even in yours or mine.

'Sometimes, in order to guide people on the right direction, being nice or soft isn't always the best approach.'

'Sometimes, after showing kindness, you may not receive equal gratitude from others as you did not flaunt your method of kindness to public. Kindness is by heart, not by act.'

Don't worry, nothing personal. It's just an inner thought and I feel that it will be great to pen it down.

Taobao Loot - Casings Extravaganza!

My yet another Taobao loot has arrived! This time, i didn't order any outfit apart for my baby but i did order tons of iphone casings instead, wahahaha! What to do...iPhone 3GS casings are really hard to find now, especially pretty ones!

Firstly, the biggest loot from Taobao has to be this Hello Kitty bento box. In fact, i saw Gmarket selling for $13+ but i managed to source the exact same bento box but only cost me $6+! *smirk*

The size of the bento box is just nice, except for its cover. Due to the design of Hello Kitty, the cover tends to look bigger than what it's supposed to be. As i originally intended to let baby bring this to school, i just might have to wait till she's older. It just seems too big for her at this point.

Now, let's move on to the casings i've bought.

First, its an iPhone casing with the design of Hello Kitty. Frankly speaking, this is a nice & i believe to be a very durable casing. Yet, it didn't really suit me. Reason is very simple. I'm too used to putting home button stickers on my home button & this silicon casing happens to cover up the home screen. As pretty as it may look, i just gotta keep it aside for now...

Next up is a bling bling Hello Kitty design casing! I truly love this design cos it looks just too damm sweet!

The ribbon & the pearls on the casing really make the whole design lovely. It's really a bargain for me to get it below $16! I believe retail price should cost at least $30...

Last casing of this batch of loot will be my polka dot casing. This is the casing i'm currently using now and i must say it is really a slick design!

Well, though its not a new design to most 4g users, it does come across as a new design for me! Am really loving this casing to the max!

Apart from buying my own casings, i also helped my friends ordered a few casings. Those they chose are really pretty & i'm glad they like their order, as well as the price they got it at!

Above: Cindy's casing! Less than 14 bucks!

Above: Jaclyn's casing with big red ribbon! Only around 15 bucks!

I love shopping in Taobao, though 1 shopping cart may take me weeks to fill up cos the items available there are just too many! Next batch i'll be ordering CNY stuff as well as more casings for myself, again!

Shoes Haul ~ A Makeover

I did a huge change recently and without a doubt i know that this change will cost me a BOMB out of it - A Makeover of my Shoes collection!

Being a lover of open-toed shoes, I hardly, even barely buy nor wear covered shoes, thinking they toe killers. Simply cause they tend to hurt our little toes far too often if we wore them long. It had never occurred to me...ever, that I'll need to wear them....until now.

A victim of eczema on my soles, the skin on my soles often cracked, peeled, whatever you call it. It had become really a pain and strain to expose them for too long as they cracked and hurt me too much. Well, some just termed it as dry skin on the soles. It was chance that made me realise how covered shoes can keep my skins on the soles from cracking when i started buying covered shoes again from Korea till Taipei.

With that, I decided to stand firm and change my entire shoes collection! My 1st step? Bought myself a total of 4 shoes at 1 go!

Yes, It was not a tiny damage but rather huge one! However, I really start to think of the advantages & benefits they do to me. For one, they look bloody nice!

There! Wore my 1st pinky heels which cost me less than 10 bucks! It is really comfy and currently, I wore her the most to work ^^.

Had no opportunity, or rather, a suitable outfit to match the other shoes yet, thus no shots of them on my feet just yet. But I believe it will be soon enough!

Aside from those, I also grabbed a pair of flats from Rubi Shoes recently when they conducted their sale in their outlet. Amazingly, this pair of flats only costs 5 bucks! This had to be the cheapest yet prettiest flats I've ever bought locally!

It's floral-designed and I feel it rather sweet and dainty, which I don't have such design in my collection yet. Boy I'm glad I get to own it at such an affordable price!

I know there's gotta be more to refill my shoe collection now that I am opting for a total makeover. I know it, I just know it!

New Blog Design...

Tada ~ Changed my blog design yesterday night when I had a sudden urge/mood to re-decorate my blog.

It's not very arty-funky looking, but somehow, this new design gives me a cozy feel and the desire/mood to blog when I previewed it last night. Hence, I'll just leave the design like this till my next urge/mood to revamp again. :D Some may perceive it to be too simple, not very 'designer-like' but who cares? What matter most is I like how it looks, and it gives me the momentum to keep blogging. I think that's more important, at least to me ^^.

Alright, next blog post coming up soon!

A Time for Golden-Black

Sometimes, I really feel that gold brings a certain level of 'class' to the person using or wearing it, but likewise, not everyone can carry the colour gold has.

And so, I attempted to try it on my nails to see if i can bring on gold's classy presence. This time, I did a black french manicure with gold-color base. This design took me less than 30 mins to complete. :D

Not entirely sure if gold really suits me, but I feel this combination of golden-black does look kinda nice on my nails, hehe~

Fake Eyelashes Overload

Since my Taipei trip, I found myself really addicted to fake eyelashes a.k.a falsies. It was really sudden and unwittingly, I bought myself too many bloody eyelashes, HAHA!

Bought 2 boxes myself, and the rest were from my brother
who went Taipei 1 week after mine!

Love these lashes cos they look so SEXY~~~

Took the one shown on the lower part of the picture and applied it for one of my colleague's wedding dinner. The lashes weren't exactly soft as those I used before (perhaps cos they are just too cheap so the quality isn't of the best), so it took me longer than I used to take to apply them onto my eyes.

Did a smoky eyes makeup after I KO from work and I really like my makeup for that day! Kudos to my 2 new eyeliners whereby 1 of them is in fact half eyeliner, half smudge-r!

Applied the falsies but didn't emphasise on my eye MU cos
it's work/day time...

My smoky eyes MU for my colleague's wedding!
Did it when almost KO from work, hehe!

Like I said, although the lashes weren't that soft, the design of the lashes is really pretty. It also helps to enlarge my eyes a little! Most of my colleagues commented I look nicer with darker eyes MU so I believe I should really emphasise my eyes more so I can pass off with bigger eyes and a more prettier me (I hope)!
