Mineral Make Up

Took this photo last night after I received my most recent order from Everyday Minerals.

Looks like I have stocked up quite a bit. And the most used ones are the base powders which I ordered 4 jars recently. All others like eye colour, concealers, colour correcters are seldom use. One reason, I'm always in a rush in the morning. And I'm not really good with colours. :)

Next time I'll take a photo of all the brushes I have. EDM have really good brushes and are reasonably priced.





The black jars are eye colours from Lumiere. All others are from Everyday Minerals.

Sleepy Afternoon

So sian today... suddenly feel like dropping by here.

Do you have answers to these questions?  At my age (old), I still don't have answers.

1)  What are your aspirations?
2)  What is your ambition?
3)  What would you like to be doing if you have a million dollars?  (can't think of any meaningful things yet, since I don't have the million... erm.. I mean if we have a million dollars, we should be doing something meaningful for the world, right?  Kind of to make our world more meaningful, since it probably isn't meaningful enough at this point of time.. :D  A bit crappy, I know!)
4)  What would you love to do for a living?


Let's update that list......slowly.. Hehe.. See ya again.  Maybe I'll drop by soon... I hope. :D

Also, I went to Taiwan 5-10 Nov 2011.  Will I ever make a post on it?  I can't really trust myself... (to work on it).  We'll see.

Mr Big S' Dance Performance

Mr Big S went for a dance performance today. Here's the video. Taken with my lao pok iPhone 3GS, plus poor skills, the video quality can only be this 'good'.

When the dance started, I thought I had started filming, only to realise half way through that I didn't press the 'record' button!!!! Gosh... Luckily I still managed to catch some part of the dance.

Asking for a Loan - Guidelines

Why will I write such a post?  Because someone just tried to ask for a loan.  I think you just can't be too nice to some people, as this will become an opportunity for them to ask for a loan. And hate it hate it hate it!!!

And especially when it's not asked in a nice tone of voice.  Hey you!! You are asking for a loan... not demanding a repayment!


Please use the following guidelines when asking for a loan in future.  However, it does not guarantee a success.  It is basic courtesy to ask nicely..... coz you are asking someone for a F.A.V.O.U.R.!


Step 1: Smile :)  If you can't smile, please try to put on a fake one even if you have to.

Step 2: Be apologetic (this is important) and say.. Erm.. I really need your help.  Can you lend me $20? (or whatever amount you need)

Step 3: Quickly also say... I'll repay you by [date].  (My preferred date of repayment is - 'first thing in the morning tomorrow'. But if you can't, please tell me a date that is A.S.A.P.  Do not..DO NOT wait to be asked 'when will you return this money to me?'  Tell me the date before I ask that question. And make sure the date is not too far away.)

Step 4: I'll be nagging and saying things you don't like to hear, like wah lau.. I need to take taxi in the morning tomorrow.. now you take my $20 then I have to go to the ATM to draw.. etc.  You can say 'sorry, it won't happen again in future'.  Please do not say.... I'll be returning you the money in 3 days what.... Did you understand what I said?  I have to take taxi in the morning TOMORROW!  It's not 3 days later.
So, at this point, if you have nothing better to say please S.T.F.U.

Step 5: And don't forget to say 'Thank You'.  And reassure me again that they money will be returned to me by [date].

Step 6: Make sure you return the $$ by [date].  Else you can be assured that the whole world will know about it.  Although most of the time before the money is returned, the whole world would have known about it already.  Usually I'll tell the people that I tell ....'I tell you something, but you pretend you don't know, ok?'

Step 7: Due Date: Please return money.  Do not wait for me to call or ask.  Because I always want to be the Ms Nice even if I'm faking it!  I won't be nice if I don't see the $$.  Please read Step 6 again for the consequences.

CNY Dinner

I had our last CNY Lo Hei Dinner on 17 Feb 2011.  That is also the 15th day of CNY, more commonly known as Chap Gor Mey or Yuan Xiao Jie - the Chinese Valentines' Day.

It was a small gathering with Lynne, Cris and Lie.  Therefore, we only ordered a few dishes.  But it was enough to fill up our stomachs.  Ok... I'll upload the pictures shortly. :D

Skin Care!

Dunno is it because I feel stressed as I'm growing older? I've been looking around to try new skin care products and also want to start using body lotion. In the last 2 months, I would say I had spent more than what I usually spend in 2 years on buying new products. Hehe... That's a bit exaggerating, but you know what I mean?

I stumbled upon a brand in Takashimaya around X'mas and bought $200+ of products which only consisted of a Day Cream and a bottle of Shea Butter lotion. Thinking that it were really good products since the sales person was so knowledgeable about essential oils. They sell essential oils too. And told me how good how pure their oils were. I don't doubt what she said. I've read and tried using essential oils on the past and that did caught my attention. So, I bought her products.

When I reached home, I read the ingredients list of the creams and found 'Sodium Benzoate' in it. I do not know much about natural ingredients, but one thing I know, I do not want Sodium Benzoate in my products. Sobs. So far the skin cream was good, I'm going to use it up and will not buy again. I want natural products on my skin. No preservatives like Sodium Benzoate. So, looks like I can only buy their pure essential oil and not their creams.

Side track a bit, do you know Sodium Benzoate is present in the soft drinks that we drink? It's a controlled preservative and can only be used in minute amounts. Google about it and you'll know. So.... I drink soft drinks and I slab cream in my face and body that contains this ingredient. Slowly and unknowingly I'd have consumed more and more and more of this.

Hehe.... So now I consciously check out the ingredients first before buying. Hmmm.. But I'll have to do a lot more reading as am not familiar with what are other harmful products that I should avoid.

And then, hehehe... I ordered a set of products again this week. It's got 100% pure ingredients, and certified organic. Quite cool, and the price is very reasonable. I used it since last night. Smelt good and feel good. Since most ingredients are derived from fruits, and I bought the grape series, I smell like a big grape now. It reminds me of those Korean grapes that my friends bought for me last year. If your have nit tried it before I urge you to buy and try when the grapes are in season. They should be available around October, and they smell just like those grape flavour gummy bears! Hmmm.. So now I smell like a gummy bear. Hahaha.

Here's a blur picture of the new products I bought this week. I'll tell more about the experience after using it fir a longer period of time - if I'm not lazy. Hehe..

Oh ya.. I also applied the body lotion on one leg only. Haha.. Will see if there's any difference later in the evening.

Spring Cleaning

Chinese New Year is round the corner again. And I start to thing of things I've to do. Soooo many things to do but ended up doing nothing.

Last week, I had my brother's domestic helper to help me clean my house. She did a really good job. Hoho... I'm going to get her to come every Sunday to help out. It feels good to have a house that's so dust-free, but I seriously can't do it without a helper. Looks like I'll not be a good housewife. Hahahaha...

We gave her some money for helping out. But cute little girl said she doesn't want the money. She said, nvm I just help la. We insisted she keep the money and buy herself something or send it back home. ^^

Copycat

I've been lazy with posting anything lately, as am sorting out some stuff!! Spring cleaning!!!!

Facebook games has been removed, and no more Facebook games for me now.  It was such a waste of time playing all these Farmville, Restaurant City, etc.  The bulk of the time was used to 'accept gifts' instead of actually playing the game.

Anyway, today, the topic is on Copycats!!!

Can't believe there are such people around.  There is this Marketing Department girl in the other company that my boss has a share in.  She suddenly asked me today where I got the machine to wrap and package my company brochures that we present it to our clients.

So, I asked her... oh.. what you need it for?  You want to package food?

She said no, she wanted to get that for some marketing event.  Looks like she wants to use the same packaging idea we have for her marketing materials.  Kanasai.  Think of your own presentation idea la... instead of copying from other people.

And still ask me where to get.  Of course I'm not going to tell you.  Go source for it yourself.  Blehhhh.....

Slowly source hor..... coz it's not easy to find... also not difficult to find la. :)  Just need to spend some time looking for one and selecting it.

Have fun!! :)
