Mike Tompkins - all day, every day!

Blogging at an abominable time lol! It's 3.15 am and no school tomorrow cause of study leave. Yes it feels 10 million times weirder than it sounds :S

So I'm doing cartwheels in the treasure trove of nail art blogs I recently found (but am too kiasu to share at the moment). These French girls really know what they're doing!!

Anyway, thought I'd finally get around to sharing my 2 favourite songs right now to listen to and which I keep on repeat as MUCH as possible:

Saw Ashley's Tumblr just now and she beat me to this!!! I really wish Tumblr had a commenting option for people who aren't registered with them :(

You make me, feel like I'm livin' a TEENAGE DREAM!
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while, cause you're amazing, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.



We gone light it up, like it's DY-NA-MITE!

This guy is SO FREAKING cool! And he's hot to boot ;) But married FML, at 23?!?!? Gratitude to Callistus for giving me the link to his videos which ultimately sparked my craze wheeee.

I can't believe I'm never gonna get to kacau him (Callistus, not Mike Tompkins) in class again T__T (As if I didn't do that till puas already last year LOL). He actually told me he's gonna miss me hahaha wtf, then I got kinda emo D:

So many people I'm gonna miss so much after this year. So depressing. Okay I'll go sleep my sadness away now, nanait.

But before that, I shall listen to Mike Tompkins one more time hehehe!


P/S: I meant to include this in my previous post but forgot. Blogger finally modified their photo uploader!!! So happy can now do bulk photo uploading, gonna save me soooo much time :D (Yes I know I'm very outdated lol.)

Nick's departure.

Nick Chiew went back to the Philippines yesterday. I'm not as sad as I thought I'd be, because I had loads of fun with him while he was here (I'll blog about that some other time once I get the photos and videos).

I picked up Mun from her house at 6 pm and went to see off Nick at the airport! Got stuck in a so many traffic jams on the way there and was worried I wasn't gonna make it in time! Plus, he kept bluffing and saying "I'm boarding now, boarding now!!" Typical Nick hahahah.

It's the last time I'm ever gonna see him, so I think it was a good decision. I think this is the first time I've had to say goodbye for good to an actual real friend :( I can't imagine having to leave almost every single one of my closest friends at the end of the year.

Mychonny was there!!! And in a McDougall shirt too, what turf? Okay, his name's actually Chok, not Mychonny, but... details, shmetails! I felt kinda bad for Nick, how come no one else was there to see him off?? :(

Nick, Mun and me, take one.

Nick, Mun and me, take two!

Me and Nick trying to act cute ^^Y

Nick thought that by puffing out his cheeks, he would make Mun look thinner in comparison. How sweet!

Mychonny, me and Nick. I'm wearing Mychonny's chio PINK specs! :D Nick, you happy now? I think this is actual real proof that you're taller than me! And I was even in heels.

Mun: Omg, I feel short! *Nick and Mychonny automatically bend down*

Nick and Mychonny. Equally weird and crazy and funny, and they read each others' minds. They even look alike!!

Actually... Nick LOOKS like Mychonny and Chok SOUNDS like Mychonny. Or maybe it's the other way around... LOL! I guess they make a good pair then.

Are you going "WTF, who the heck is Mychonny?!" yet? Maybe you don't watch YouTube videos too much, so I'll introduce you to Mychonny:

Hey angel, you duh sexy!

I'll miss you, Short Nick with the Smaller Thingy, the Michael Phelps of Peeing!

Mascara is my thing.

But I think you already know that ;)

My sole mascara of choice is of course, the Maybelline New York Volum' Express Hypercurl Cat Eyes Mascara (the name so bloody long, from now on I'll just call it Cat Eyes). I guess you could call this a (biased) review.

Together with my kick-ass Face Shop eyelash curler (only B$3.90 go buy go buy!!), it's the secret to my long, fierce lashes.

No mascara I've ever used (of this price) has even come CLOSE to doing what the Cat Eyes mascara can. For every girl unsatisfied with her lashes, it's a purchase you'll never regret. In fact, like me, you'll wanna buy more than just one!

A little introduction to the mascara I'm talking about, in case you don't know. This is the Maybelline Volum' Express Hypercurl Cat Eyes Mascara promotional advertisement.

From my own experience, here are some pros about the Cat Eyes mascara (sorry, got no cons, bwahahaha):

• Separates and combs out all your lashes -- each and every one!
• Almost 100% clump-free
• Very smooth application with the precise comb wand
• It feels light on my lashes and doesn't weigh them down at all
• Extremely waterproof -- doesn't smudge, flake or run, even survives rubbing!
• Fast, easy and neat to apply
• Definitely lengthens and volumizes lashes

The spiky comb wand I love. 

I already have 2 tubes (1 is unopened), yet I want even more. Although I still find the new B$16 price tag abominable. I think I'll just wait till I'm in Malaysia again in March. Or beg ask my sister to buy some for me. Only RM27.90 hello!

This mascara is a true all-around winner, so easy to use and such amazing results. It's one of my best, if not the best, purchases of all time. I don't know what I'll do when they stop selling it! It's literally changed my life.

Tadah!

June 2009. When I first bought the mascara.

September 2009.

November 2009.

14th January 2010.

22nd January 2010: After wearing it for 9 hours (half the time promised in the advertisement, because really, who wears mascara for 18 hours straight please.) A typical 12-9 day.

Please ignore the angry red veins in my eyes, it usually happens when I wear my contact lenses for long hours.

31st January 2010.

Anyone who complains that their lashes are too short, sparse, straight, light, whatever, go buy this mascara now!! Guardian or Hua Ho. Faster before they stop selling it! It's sibeh easy to put on I aced it on my first try ever so I don't wanna hear excuses either!

But no, to be realistic, your lashes will not look like those in the advertisement, sorry. For that, you'll need some fake eyelashes... like Lady Gaga.

Kings & Queens: The Ride.

30 Seconds To Mars premiered their brand new music video for Kings & Queens a few days ago. It just gives me the warmest fuzzies. I can't believe it's really real. We have a new video. It's been... almost 2 years since A Beautiful Lie.

For so long I felt like it was so far away in the distance, that the wait would be forever, and suddenly everything is happening so fast. It's still taking time to sink in that it's finally here. Mars is here.

Kings & Queens

30 Seconds to Mars | MySpace Video

Now to come up with an attack plan and think how to handle this as a collective. This Is War comes out December 7th. We'll be going on the awards show circuit again next year. All the voting and promoting is starting. Not to forget tours: they kick off the European leg tomorrow in Italy.

The fading away had been so gradual that I barely noticed it, but now I realize I've really missed being a part of the Mars world and the Echelon. Everything starts now. It's time to once again launch forth into the deep and stop at nothing.

I've been procrastinating and forgetting, but it's high time I bought Kings and Queens from the iTunes Store. It's only B$1.30 after all. Shall buy it this weekend! And I'm still wondering if I should pre-order This Is War online, because who knows when it'll start selling in Malaysia.

Provehito in Altum.

We were the KINGS AND QUEENS of promise.

I've been looking forward to this moment for as long as I can remember. And now it's here. 30 Seconds To Mars' new song, Kings and Queens premiered last night for the very first time on KROQ, a Californian radio station. I was at their website, listening to it stream live.

It's been years since I've heard any new Mars music and it was such a surreal experience, I couldn't believe it was really finally happening. I still don't know what to think of the song. The voice is familiar, but the music is so completely different.

For a moment, I was really thrown. But you know, I like it. I'm already going around humming the chorus. The chanting voices of the fans from the Summit at the end gives me goosebumps.

I'm familiarizing myself with the song that I'll be promoting shamelessly and endlessly, for the next God knows how many months. Then again, I'll have all the time in the world to listen to it over and over again once it comes out on iTunes, there's no rush.

The new album, This Is War, officially releases on December 8th and I feel like I'm about to piss my pants with anticipation. After hearing Kings and Queens, you just want more.

One of the future album covers, besides the Faces of Mars campaign where 2000 of the albums are going to have individual photos of fans and Echelon from around the world on the cover.

Imagine that, someone buying a 30 Seconds To Mars album with your face plastered on it. I don't think I'd ever be able to take a photo nice or worthy enough of that.

I took a closer look at the photos of the pervy lamp that I posted previously, and then I noticed something... on the table right next to the pervy lamp is a picture of Jesus and a cross! Sacrilegious max! Hahahaha!!

Thanks to a long discussion with Jia Yee about her birthday party next month during Physics practicals, I can't get it out of my head. I think I'll go pick potential outfits for it. Even though I already kinda know what I want to wear (so long in advance!). It's gonna be a pink fiasco, baby! :D

And I also have plans to watch me some new episodes of Dollhouse and Smallville tonight. Desperately trying to push all the nervous, worried and fearful thoughts about the fast-approaching exams out of my mind.

We got our exam timetables today. 'Nuff said.

I feel like changing my blog background. So tell me, are you bored of the pink and green yet?

♥ queen of babble

I like fast cars.

I watched 2 Fast 2 Furious on DVD in high definition with surround sound for the thousandth time yesterday night! No matter how many countless times I've seen that movie over the past God knows how many years, it never ever gets old.

Suki's pink car is so chio!! What I would give to have a car like that in the future...

No idea what language this is.

I love it to death. The Fast and Furious series are among my all-time favourite movies. That might probably come as a shock to you (I don't only watch chick flicks okay!), but get used to it, a girl likes her fast cars and of course, Paul Walker ;)

If anybody has the first The Fast and the Furious DVD, hit me up. I'm dying to watch it again! And I have a sudden craving for action movies too. Love the adrenaline rush!

I came across my dad's The X-Files DVD and out of boredom, watched that too. I never really watched the show 'cause I was too young but I have a rough idea what it's about la. And I always thought Dana Scully was really pretty for some reason.

I also watched LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring in HD DVD with surround sound. I tell you, high definition movies are so orgasmic to watch! I should've watched it in KL 'cause anek Joe has the entire trilogy in HD surround sound DVD. It's called Penguasa Cincin in Malay, damn funny!

I've definitely watched it before 'cause I remember many parts vividly but I think I was too young, so I didn't really understand it till now. The movie is so long, 3 hours, and I lasted through 2 and a half hours before I fell asleep during the last 30 minutes. I wanna watch the other two movies, Two Towers and Return of the King... who has and is willing to lend to me??

The Elves' and Saruman's hair so sibeh rebonded man! Wakakaka.

I always had this notion in my mind that Aragorn was some sideline, unimportant character... but he's actually the fucking king of Gondor! Whoopsie.

And how come Liv Tyler (Arwen... I like the name!) is so horse-faced but can still be so pretty??

I so sim tiah today spending $25 on credit for my annual DST Easi fee. I could buy both the bag and purse I wanted from Padini with that amount of money!! That's how much of a bargain they were.

My thigh muscles so damn pain!! That's the last time I'm slutty dancing by myself in my house. I was imitating Emma Roberts' dance move from Wild Child (super cute movie, btw)... the part where she does that squatting thing. After a few times you feel like keeling over already! Never again!

I feel like throwing away my Acuvue contact lenses 'cause they're so uncomfortable and painful, but it's such a waste! People keep singing Bausch & Lomb's praises to me and I desperately want to crack open my own box and try them.

Omg, another thing anek Joe has is the pervy lamp!! I would totally buy it for Nai Ping/Melvin as a birthday present if I ever find it! The photos speak for themselves...

Turned off.

Turned on.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Attack of the PMS monster.

It's that time of the month again and I think I would've have chi sat-ed already if not for PPStream, Sims 3 (YES, I HAS IT!!!) and my insanely luverly computer. Super fast, no lagging, nice huge screen and SUPPORTS SIMS 3 AND PPSTREAM!! Mwaks! Mommy, can I bring it home with me to Brunei?? 0=)

Talking about Brunei, I'm missing Raya!! No open houses, rendang, ketupat, mengeratkan hubungan sillaturahim and of course, not forgetting, green packets :(:( BOOHOOO!!! This holiday actually kinda sucks la, if you really think about it. Sigh.

Selamat Hari Raya, to my Muslim friends, and even the Cina ones who are there to celebrate it with them as well. Wish I could be there!

I have photos of the boring drive from KL up to Penang. But first...

Popped into Giant Kota Damansara just before the roadtrip to buy lunch at KFC and passed the Summit (!!!) store. And OMG it's huge!!! So many nice shoes that Brunei doesn't have. They had the same 50% off Hari Raya sale... even that exact same green sign!! I thought I was gonna die right there on the spot when I had to rush myself past it, because I knew if I went in, I would never resurface.

Then went to KFC and found out that BBQ Cheezy Meltz is temporarily discontinued until 27/09... I'M NOT GONNA GET TO EAT IT ANYMORE THIS TRIP!! Waaaaaahhh!!! Only that once in KL! :'( You know how heartbreaking this is?? It'ss like a slice of heaven. Had to buy Cheezy Chickaroni instead.

Photos I took, that is, before my phone battery died and I was forced to fall asleep squishing Bob instead. Let me introduce you to Bob, our very old car doggie! I think I might've accidentally drooled on him...

My Cheezy Chickaroni lunch. My sister's car doesn't have the center seatback pull-down thingy (okay, bad explanation, I know) to put food so I had to use Bob as a table.

I left the meatballs for last. I took my time eating the macaroni and it was really cold by then. Bob was like falling through my legs already.

Finally finished eating after one hour.

Shoes!

Traffic jam on the highway, everyone was rushing to balik kampung for Raya.

My slightly-less-yummy-because-it-was-cold-but-still-yummy cheezy wedges.

Time for lots of gloomy weather photos to match my mood! It was raining the entire time and there were a lot of weird dark cloud formations around the mountains.

Kawasan rehat Tapah, my favourite rest stop! It's huge and has a KFC, Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts!! But we didn't stop there 'cause there were a bajillion balik-kampungers there.

I swear to God that's a waterfall right there!! Anyone who has ever travelled on the North-South highway between KL and Penang will know this waterfall :D

I've been super addicted to Chick vs Dick lately! It's so much nicer than Xiaxue's Guide to Life and Kay kay and Paul are so damn hilarious!! I've watched all 45 episodes in just 2 days.

The very first episode: The Cinammon Challenge.

I finished Grey's Anatomy season 5 already, most freaking stunning and unexpected finale ever! I cried like an idiot. Dying of anticipation for season 6.

So now I'm catching up on some good ol' Smallville season 8. I sing along to the opening song, as I've always done, every episode, for the past 8 seasons.

I want to go out tomorrow to buy things! I calculated the prices of the things I want and it comes to a grand very puny total of only RM250! Satisfied at how small the number is, but I feel so restricted. I'm a shopaholic, and shopaholics need to spend shop!

Last time I used to easily be able spend up to RM1000 per trip to Malaysia! This is a huge improvement already okay... one-quarter only.

And correction: I want a baking + Konad + Bones + Twister + poker gambling (now I really need to go dig out my Monopoly to find the fake money) sleepover!! :D:D Who wants?? *widens eyes at Maria and Jia Yee* Yes, yes?? I see extremely fun times in my future!

P/S: Who wants to give me my 5000th hit? ;) After 1 entire year and 67 posts! No, it's not pathetic, it's because I kept taking huge "breaks" from blogging... most memorably, my 6 month abandonment hiatus from January to June and my 3 month hiatus from July to September.

If I had a dime for every time somebody asked me why I wasn't blogging or told me blog, I'd be rich by now! Oh, how I wish...
