Have you Funkie-d today?

I know I did Funkie-fied my day today; and to be honest, recently it had became a norm to do so. My day would feel incomplete without getting my dose of Funkie news. My attention span is extremely short, so it’s was a blessing to get ‘bite-size’ news for breakfast. :)

Ta-da! Funkie Munkie is the place to go to get all the Funkie news.

But, there is certainly more to Funkie Munkie than just quirky, out of this world ‘news’, as Funkie Munkie does keeps you updated on various competitions, reviews on latest games and oh, funky tech news. This website is definitely not your typical, run of the mill website. There will be something for everyone there! So head over to www.funkiemunkie.com.

K-Pop Hitz Talent Show (Snapshots)

About one month ago, I accompanied my sister to the Berjaya Times Square for the audition of the Astro K-Pop Hitz Talent Show. If I’m not mistaken, the results for the show is already out though I am not sure if Astro has aired it yet. But I’m pretty sure that they have shown the Times Square audition already. Anyway, here are some pictures of I took of that day.

My sis, Clarrisha giving it her all. :)

Cute guy rocking his moves. Heh.

Cute guy’s team mates.

The host, Jehan Miskin.

A picture with the host, for memory keepsake.

I can’t help myself, so yes, another picture of the cute guy.

So, yes.. That is all the picture I have from the audition. Simply because, I left to shop right after Clarrisha performed. :) Like come on, I was at Times Square.. there is a gazillion things to buy there! Hahaa.

Till next time. xoxo.

Random Monday: The Apple Seedling.

Yay, it’s time for another random picture! This time, it is a picture of a an apple seed sprouting out. Mom thinks that this happened because we kept the apple so long that the seed starting growing! Didn’t know that it was even possible. :)

Shadow Shoots.

There is something about this picture that emits a rather sombre mood, don’t you feel so?

Personally, shooting in the shadows is awesome. Why? Simply because it can’t capture the facial expression. Quite ironic to say so, as facial expressions are quite crucial for portraits. But I do feel, body movements and posture are just important to make a picture great. I think the pictures in this set is a form of creative photography. What do you think? ;)

Rag Doll Attempt by Kimberly.

Rag Dolls Attempt by myself and Kim. (One of my favourite pics!)

Again, I’ll say that this impromptu shoot has been pure fun for myself and Kim. I’ll be honest and say that I find myself getting conscious whenever I’m in a photoshoot. Somehow, I always imagined the picture would turn out ugly. Hence, the lack of confidence would show in the pictures too. :( But for this shoot, screw my expression cause you can’t see my face. Hahaa.

 Left: Posing Attempt Right: Hourglass figure!

I managed to drag my sis, Clarrisha for a few pictures as well. So happens, she was wearing a bodysuit. Hence, you get a model with curves! LOL. Unlike, my shots with Kim, since we were both wearing dresses.

Posing Attempt Part 2.

Superhero To The Rescue?

Oh, yes. We even managed to drag my brother into doing this mini shadow photoshoot. We asked him to give a pose, and these were what he thought of doing. :) Superhero? Hahaa.

* * * * * * * * *

I haven’t seen the hyperactive Kimberly Hong since like February this year and even then, she wasn’t hyper. Possibly because we were in the public area and she’ll be sure to get stares if she starts screaming away. Hahaa, So, pictures below were multiple silly shots taken at one go. Note: They look absolutely silly and I’m amazed I’m even posting this up. :)

* * * * * * * * *

That’s all for now, loves. I've been a little busy lately with an upcoming test. Usually, these tests are no biggie but since I’m currently in the Professional Stage of ICAEW, I should be taking them seriously. Plus, they are in written form questions. And very different from the CFAB multiple choice questions! But I believe that, against all odds, I can do it. Because nothing is impossible. BUT I’M FREAKING OUT NOW. Simply, because I have no mood to study. :O

Random Monday: Cinnamon Sticks.

You have got to love the smell of these sticks. They smell absolutely heavenly. But I’m weird in such a way, that I don’t like them in my food. No wait, that would be an understatement. I hate them in my food, especially the ones in powder form. So, yes. I hate cinnamon rolls too.

Brightest of all the colours.

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colours. – Thunder, Boys Like Girls. I absolutely heart that song <3 and my nails simply reminds me of that one liner from the song. I mean there is definitely no doubt that my nails are painted in one of the brightest shade of colours. :) Don’t you feel like smiling when you see these beauties? Certainly feels like sunshine to me. What do you think?

To recreate this look, you can try to get these polishes from Etude House and The Face Shop. I used Etude House YL802 (Yellow), Etude House PK012 (Pink) and The Face Shop BL602 (Blue).

Random Monday: Oh, these booties.

I love this shot, like a lot. :) Idea just popped out to put a ruler there to show just how high these heels are. But to be honest, they are just medium-high heels. I haven’t got platform heels yet, or else I would have used those instead. And I hope no one takes offence with the caption in the picture. I don’t mean to insult anyone yea. Because to be honest, I love wearing heels, especially when the occasion is right. Cause I’m not that tall myself. :)

Inglot Launch Party!

So lucky that I have been given a chance to attend the Inglot official launch party! I didn’t really take much pictures. Somehow, I wasn’t really in the mood to party that day. (What a waste! They even had champagne and all.)

Inglot’s Freedom System, which allows you to mix and match (for example; eye shadows) according to your liking.

Purple eye shadows and body shimmers. Inglot is really really colourful, I tell you!

I think these were gel eye shadows? I’m not sure cause I didn’t ask further. Sowee.

Thisispurelove, I tell you! So many colours to choose from, you’ll be spoilt for choice, like I did.

Had a manicure done on the spot. Unfortunately, the girls there aren’t that good in mani. :( But nevertheless, there extremely helpful! :) Tried the matte top coat. I don’t like it. Original polish, was so much more gorgeous.

And… Amber Chia + baby graced the launch party! Woot, she is so tall!

Back from Clinique Star Tour!

Like I mentioned earlier, I headed over to the Clinique Star Tour last weekend and boy, did I have a blast. Despite the fact that I was suffering from a major food poisoning. :S I literally dragged myself out of bed after popping a few charcoal pills and fever meds. And to make things worst, Dad dropped us off at Sunway Pyramid when the glorious sun is high up and it’s freaking 40 degrees Celsius outside! (Maybe I exaggerated a bit.)

There is the Mobile Makeover Studio and in the other tent, is for the door gift redemption.

Since the event was outdoor, I was already sweaty and looking flushed by the time I was trying to register myself. The Clinique staff actually came over with an umbrella to shade my sis and I. Talk about getting treated like a star! :) After that, I got my RM 35 voucher and I had to fill up the form although I was mentally incoherent with my body.

Tee-hee, it says Blogger!

This is the form that will be given to Clinique staff to fill in the which products they used for the makeover. And the bottom part is submitted to them for the contest.

Before the makeover over, they will apply moisturiser and then teach you how to use them. :)

This is how the mobile studio looks like. There are a few make up station and another two for the hair touch up.

Makeover in progress!

And then the photo shoot of course! You get three shots and from the three, you’ll have to choose one to be uploaded on http://cliniquestartour.com.my/. I got to admit, the photographer was really good and professional.

The complete range of make up products used for the makeover, you can bring your form here and tell them which products you’re interested in getting!

I really loved the makeover that Clinique has done and I love how the staff there were all so friendly and nice to us. In fact, my sister and I were so amazed that we forgot our door gift! Haha, of course we went back to get them. Inside, there was a Cleo magazine, RM 50 worth of Miko Gelare vouchers, Clinique’s; liquid facial wash, clarifying lotion, moisturising lotion, super city block and volumizing mascara! All worth about RM 130!

Here’s a picture of sis and I after the makeover! What do you think? Pweety?

Ta-da! This was the shot I picked. Can see my awesome possum nails, yo! I love this picture cause of that. Hehe.

Random Monday: Pie Wants You.

Cheese filled pies are god damn sinful. But I don’t care anymore, because I am on a weight gain diet. :D Seriously, I’ve been losing weight faster than I can say what the hell. So, I’m eating carbohydrate, protein and whatever that can help me gain weight healthily. And no, fat is not one of them. [I only weigh 40 freaking kilos now.] 

Clinique Star Tour 2011.

Growing up isn’t necessarily fun [Life = So much simpler back then!]. When I was younger, I used to dream a lot. I don’t really remember what was it exactly, but I do know that I wanted to be somebody famous! And now, the inner child in me is tempted to go and grab the chance to become a supermodel wannabe! Uh-huh, because the Clinique Star Tour is back in 2011. I didn’t manage to catch them in 2010, so for sure I was going to attend this one.

Random Monday: Bubblified Egg!

This egg was one of them cause it so funky looking with small, little pop-able bubbles and topped with black soy sauce. :P And I had to put in some words, because I’m weird that way. Fried egg, anyone?

Hehe. I know that this is totally random, so please do bear with me. *flashes toothy smile* You would probably be seeing more of these random one picture filler post, simply because it was the holidays a few weeks back and I basically took picture of things around the house that interests me. Which is why I’m going to start a Random Monday post from now onwards, so it’ll seem okay to post totally random pictures on my blog. What a ingenious way, I’m such a genius (this rhymes!).

In The Garden; Meet the Pink Beauty.

Before you go, “Not another pink themed pictures?!”, hear me out first. :) These pictures are not edited for the dragonfly to be pink in colour. It is purely the natural colour of the dragonfly; the only thing I did to the pictures was to post-process and enhance it a little to make the pink pop out a little more. Or else, the pictures would turn out rather bland as it was taken under direct sunlight.. so and so and so (you get my point).

The first shot was a spontaneous one, since I wasn’t actually planning to take a picture of the it. I managed another shot, which was quite similar, so I didn’t post that up. Then I actually tried to take a better shot of it, and the second picture was the best I could get. Because somehow, I think the dragonfly now knows I’m taking a picture of it and so, it doesn’t even land long enough for me to get my angle. :S Oh well, I thought these two shots were actually okay.

Do tell me what you think about these shots, yea? Thanks!

xoxo.

Btw, these shots were taken in my very own garden. :D So, sometimes, you don’t have to go searching far for a good subject. Look around closely, and you’ll be surprised with what you can find.

CFAB; 1½ years later.

Oh, how time flies. Thinking back, I could still remember the first day of my class. We were so quiet and everyone actually did the homework on the spot, during break time. HAHA. Now, that is so rare. As a class, we have been through a lot. Personally, I don’t recognize myself back then. I know, I’ve changed so much. College, is definitely one of the major turning point in my life. Heartache, a plenty but happy moments were always abundant. And now, after a year and a half, we will be moving on to ICAEW. So proud, that we made it this far. :)

My super thick Taxation manual. I took my textbooks, they look so daunting.

Sparkly Purple + Heart Shaped Mani

I have always love purple; I do have a few polishes of that shade. But sadly, I hardly wear these because there are so pastel. Oh-so-very-bland, and not striking; like my other polishes. Hence, they were neglected. So, one day, just out of the blue I decided to paint my nail with Elianto’s Thistle. However, the texture has since changed since I bought it one year ago. It turns out very streaky and being the perfectionist I am, I had to do something about it. I layered my nails with a gorgeous sheer, teeny weeny sparkly purple polish from Face Shop. And just like that, I fell in love with my nails. Also, I decided to leave my ring finger free from shatter polish, as an accent nail.

Do you like love my heart shaped manicure? Please tell me you do, because I am in love with it! It was actually inspired from Katy Perry nails during her performance of “Not Like The Movies” at the 2011’s Grammys (picture inset)! It so cute and very easy to do, I used stickers as guidelines and voila! :) I’m going to make more heart themed manicures, so look forward to those yea?

Here’s another picture, though it from a less obvious angle. You can’t really see the heart shaped from here, right?

* * * * * * * * * *

Extra Info: To be honest, I never really like Elianto’s polishes. Their brushes are far too tiny, it’s hard to apply when you have long nails. Oh, I also face the same problem with Etude House petite series. What about Face Shop?! I love Face Shop brushes, theirs are thick just OPI, which makes them super easy to apply on.
