Out with the old, in with the new.

I'm back in Brunei! Home sweet home (I guess). I flew AirAsia by myself and arrived yesterday night. Went to school today and it was fun but SO tiring and SO hot and SO hazy and thus was too lazy to learn anything.

The weather is killing me! Even in KL with the mosquitoes was better than this. Despite the itching, scratching and horribly scarred and scabby legs, at least it wasn't like a constant sauna!

My beloved coloured contact lenses expired 3 days ago. They were my trusty accomplice in giving me big, shiny, dark doll-eyes for 3 whole months! And it's time for them to head into the bin. I'm actually finding this quite tragic. Those contacts did wonders for my eyes! I'm gonna miss them :(

Anyway, not to worry, I've got new contacts to replace them! This time I thought I'd give clear lenses a try, since Jia Yee told me they're not as dry, and I'd give anything not to have to suffer for my contacts anymore. Not that it wasn't worth it. Because boy, was it worth it.

Jia Yee bought me a 3 months supply box of Bausch and Lomb Soflens (Lee Hom!) from Miri for only RM40. Bloody bargain! Then I have a box of Acuvue Clear lenses I took from my sister. Altogether, I'm all set for the next 5 months!

Another thing I've had replaced is my hair mousse. I said goodbye to the wonderful miracle that is Loreal Paris Studio Line Upward Spiral Springing Curls mousse which truly gave my wavy hair new curly life. I regret not having found it sooner!

As a replacement, I bought the Loreal Paris Studio Line Curl Power Shine Curls mousse. It's actually an older version than the previous one I used, I'm super tabalik I know. The Curl Power mousse is very different from the Upward Spiral one, but I love it just as much.

Previously I had no choice but to wash my hair at night, because the mousse made my hair crunchy and hard like plastic and only by the next day after a night of sleep would it look nice and curly and ready for action.

With the Curl Power mousse, after I apply it, it's instantly soft and wavy. It doesn't make my hair curly, just wavy, but I prefer my hair to be wavy rather than curly 'cause it's so long and only the bottom half is permed. I am loving my hair now! It's soft, fluffy, smooth, wavy and loads of volume! No more wig hair!

I'd totally 100% recommend Loreal Paris mousses to anyone with wavy or curly hair! Reminder: DO NOT BUY TRESEMME MOUSSE. That mousse is the biggest hair regret of my life. It was the first mousse I used right after I permed my hair, and if only I had used Loreal Paris instead, my curly hair would've had so much potential!

Not that I'm complaining, I went to my hairstylist asking for wavy hair and 9 months later it's still wavy. That in itself is an accomplishment. Angie is a genius!

Camwhoring in the car on the way to the airport. I was listening to Beautiful by Akon and just woke up from a nap (my sister's house is one and half hours drive away from the airport) but you can't tell...

Okay, time for Dollhouse! I'm watching the season 1 finale already. I don't know what's with all the haters and the bad reviews that Dollhouse is getting, I personally like it. Go watch! PPStream is love.

And who was I fooling, I'm obviously not going to do any homework today. It's just not my style :)

Konadicure: Zebras and leopards.

I did my animal print Konadicure yesterday afternoon and I'm so in love with it! It's true what they say: practice makes perfect; this is the best Konadicure I've done so far. So excited to share it. It's fierce!

Since I don't have a digital camera with me, and my phone camera sucks ball (yes, honestly), all the photos below are taken with my Logitech webcam. And I'm so impressed by the image quality! Damn sharp again, can rival digicam macro also loh. Not bah, huh?

The usual suspects: Silkygirl and Skin Food nail polishes and my Konad tools and image plate. I tried to get the colours as close to the authentic animal prints as possible.

Zebra print on my left hand and leopard print on my right hand. (Yeah, I know it looks the other way around, but that's just 'cause this is taken in mirror view. And I had to use my foot to press the mouse button to capture the picture ><)

White with black zebra print on my left hand. (I actually Googled it first, and yes, zebras are white with black stripes.)

Brown with black leopard print on my right hand. (Yes, I Googled this one too and leopards are actually yellowish/light brown, but I don't have that colour so who cares?)

The m57 Konad image plate I used.

In other news... Baby Ava turned 1 month old yesterday!

The glutinous nasi kunyit, curry chicken, "ang ku" and red eggs we ordered for Ava's "full moon" (i.e. 1 month old celebration). Super yummy, but I think it was what cause my stomachache the next day -.-"

I finished Grey's Anatomy season 6 premiere and a new episode of The Beautiful Life yesterday night, so I'm gonna spend today watching Dollhouse! It's created by Joss Whedon, the same guy who made Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, shows I grew up watching. I hope it lives up to expectations

Eliza Dushku! I really miss watching Tru Calling, why the heck did they have to cancel it?? Bastards. I'm still mourning the show :(

Taken from IMDB:

"The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after."

Sounds very Joss Whedon-y :D

And that's a wrap guys! How was the first day back at school?

Present-hunting and a guessing game.

So, being the ever-wonderful friend that I am, I traipsed around 1 Utama shopping mall on Friday afternoon, buying birthday presents for my best friend (♥) Munibah, and Little Miss Fun-sized Michee.

1 Utama is really near to Ikano Power Centre, Ikea, The Curve and Tesco, all of which are nearby my sister's condominium in Damansara. Talk about shopping heaven, right? I guess KL has so many people that it doesn't matter how many malls there are within a few km radius.

1 Utama is huge and it took me a while to get my bearings... those touchscreen directories were hella useful. I found Padini Concept Store (my motherland!!!) the first and then searched 2 more floors fruitlessly for Nichii Fashion City and F.O.S. Then I simply gave up and went back to Padini. I am faithful to my motherland!

I camwhored in the bathroom, a lot in the Padini store and in the car and at home. I already showed Munibah what I bought her, a pair of dark pink Jackie O sunglasses (I'm so envious!) but Michee doesn't even know what her present is yet! So I'm gonna let her guess it from the photos :D

And I'm not gonna make it easy either. I'm gonna blur out the item! But I know you'll figure it out. Have fun, Jia Yee Michee! :)

A moment to camwhore in the 1 Utama toilets.

Tried on tons of sunglasses at Vincci Accessories and P&Co Accessories, trying to pick one for Mun.

These are the huge dark pink ones I eventually bought.

Munibah and Jia Yee Michee's presents. (I bet by this first picture you'll already know what it is!)

Trying on their presents... trying to figure out if I'm making the right choice.

Saw this super chio pink sequined clutch purse nearby, exactly like the one I wanted from Forever 21 (refer to wishlist) except cheaper! Only RM31 after discount, which is B$12.50!

Another gorgeous purse I saw! It's pink satin and slightly bigger than the first one. It's only RM29.50 which is a disgusting B$12! (Yeah, I know, not much difference.)

It almost killed me 'cause I just only recently bought a new purse that I don't even like anymore after seeing these! *throws tantrum* I WAAAAANNNTT!!

I was seriously having second thoughts about the shades, wondering if it's more my taste than Mun's, because I love it... :S

Another shot of both the presents.

Saw this is in the pharmacy where I was buying nail polish remover. Anybody need some "man disinfectant"? To get rid of your man or disinfect him if he's germy. Lol!

Anek Joe is a Newcastle United fan, and this is what's stuck on passenger side windshield. First noticed it when I sat there on the wedding day, and found out his friend Kenneth is also a Newcastle United fan (he was driving :D).

I ♥ Padini Concept Store!! Can open in Brunei pweety please??

It's all in one! So true.

Leaving 1 Utama at 7.30 pm when it was starting to get dark. Love Malaysia's extended sunlight hours!

My brother-in-law/sister/blah's condominium from afar.

Hmm, I wonder what's inside!

So Jia Yee Michee, have you figured it out yet...?

Btw, have fun at school tomorrow, guys! I'll miss you. See you all on Wednesday!

P/S: WOOHOOO, I DISCOVERED A WAY TO GET CHINESE ON MY LAPTOP AND FINALLY BE ABLE TO USE PPSTREAM!!! YAAAYY!! I'm such a genius! :D:D Now, not having Chinese on your computer shall no longer stop you from experiencing the full wonders of PPStream, as long as I'm here! Hit me up if you wanna know how ;)

Desperate Housewives season 5 finale :D After this, gonna watch Grey's Anatomy season 6 premiere!
