The Magic Brush

Here is one of the very rare post from me, the plain and boring engineer. Something about make-up. Ah well, the thought of making up to work everyday could practically freak me out! Or simply say, eat the right food for the right skin is like the worst advice I would take! (That explains the pimple face AND PRINGLES is JUST SITTING NEXT TO ME NOW!) *SLAP!* Now you know my excuses to remain lazy!

Back to reality, a plain face is good for sports and beach, a little highlight is good for coffee chat, shopping, work and etc, and not to forget.. out-standing for dinner dates, wedding dinner and party! Yes, a simple make-up does make a difference. A little art on the face can make a person look more presentable and beautiful!

What I've discover last weekend, make-up is an art! There are no definite rules and guidelines. The only guideline is to colour within the line! :) It is just like when we first learn to colour an apple! We colour the entire apple red. As we grow up, we then learn to add shadings to the apple, darker red on one side and lighter red on the other! We then move to the advance level, where we are able to make the apple looks 3D! It is all up to our creativity! Just like how we colour our life! There are no limit to creativity, the limit is our mind.

To produce a good art, we definitely need a good brush! Make-up is on the face, and face is the most delicate canvas. A hard or bad brush can hurt your face! After a good research, hard brushes hardly picks up colour compare to soft delicate brush. This means, most of your eye shadow will be stuck in the brush or drop somewhere else. Does that explains the many thick layer of eye shadow? The difference between the salon make up and make up at home? :) Good brush blends the colour nicely onto the skin and you can see a whoala effect! Get a good brush and be happy  with the results! And not to forget to clean your brushes! And clean them right! (Good tip for people with sensitive skin/ pimpled skin!)

Ah, not to forget my little best friend... the curler! It does make wonders to the lashes! *LOVE* It makes my little lashes so lively! This is a very friendly tool before and after your mascara!

After much practices, I think make-up is interesting! Do remember to clean them well before you go to sleep! Of course, there is no such thing as the best make-up or facial product, it is which product that suits your skin well! Be adventurous babes! Perfection comes with many trials and practices! Even Thomas Edison did not get it right on the first trial! >_@

Make-ups do not entirely covers imperfection!  But make-up makes the world more colourful!

Nail Colour rawks my fingers! weehee!

One.. First or the only one?

Hard I know
Nevertheless I did not let go.
Finding rest at home
After every battle with my bow and arrows.

Seeking for a breakthrough.
But can't seems to find the truth
What I am here for? I asked
Living each day with nothing but a mask.
Without realizing that my soul was buried in the dust.

Well done my dear self
It has been a year n you've done well
Battling depression in your own shell.
Time to get up and move out of hell 

Bubbly Tea!

Hello bubble blog!

Looks like I have abandon you again! Hahaha!

Trying out some new apps for smartphone.. Some blogging app..

Greetings!

How wrong can wrong be?

It is definitely heart wrenching to hear about the massive quake and the unending disaster. Having friends and family there can be the worst worry of all time, but truly thank God they are all ok! Japan have been making headlines every single day ever since the 8.9 quake. Places and faces of sorrow/hurt/fear and emptiness made the front page of the papers. News forecast cold weather ahead and this could obstruct their search for survival. False prediction and judgement are thrown upon them harshly.  Please do keep Japan in prayer (for safety and comfort) and hopefully we are able to hear good news from Japan real soon where they are able to control and minimize the damage caused by the natural disaster. Some may object, some may curse, and some may support but for sure at this moment of time they truly need all the love and support to keep them through this period of fear.

On the other hand, it is quite sad to burn my tick (gift fr hub) to Japan which have been planned months ago. But it the definitely one of the best choice at the moment to postpone the trip. However on the other hand, this remark has actually made me insensitive (at the moment of making decision) for some reason which I do not know why. To me, it is just not so right to go have fun in their house while they are not in their best and we are ought to take care of our safety as well. Don't want my family members to worry dead for sure. Japan is a strong country I believe and they can come back better. There is always another chance.

So here I am one of the "Malaysian who makes insensitive comments" following the news daily and praying for Japan's safety and recovery and also made donations to help Japan writing this. And also would like to remind the Malaysians who think "Malaysians who are insensitive" are once and now a Malaysian too. Just be proud and thankful of where you come from lest u have disowned your citizenship.  

What is in between balance and imbalance?

In between clear and unclear, there stands confusion. In between, decided and could not decide, we get depression. Unable to distinguish black and white, we get grey. If we know the ending but do not know the beginning, then we are stuck. But with a clear view/stand of yes and no, there exist a purpose and a destiny.

The question is, is it that easy?

We dream big when we were young and it just get smaller as we grow older. The fact is that our choices in career and who we want to be have been narrowed down by our decision along the way. My childhood ambition was to be a singer/actress/model and a doctor. I was told that I am fat and ugly (didn't know that I would be thin one day), therefore I did not have the courage to step out. My mom encourage me to sing and would send me for vocal lessons, but then I usually freak out, panic, stomach ache in front of a big crowd! I can only sing at home and for my mom... A doctor? ah.... I was really bad in my grades.. so bad that my mom actually encourage me to stop after secondary 5 and goes to nursing school!! MUAHAHA! But of course there are people who are able to succeed.

Where I am today, is due to my rebellion to my mom, she told me science was hard, as much as I hated science, I pursued it and scored in order to prove her wrong, however, I never thought this would take me so far and obtained more than a degree. The next question is, am I enjoying where I am today?

The fact on earning money on my own one of the joy in my life. At least I can shop for my sis, treat her black sesame ice cream, get branded bags and clothings for my mom, bring dad to dine in a nice restaurant, to bless my family as well as shopping! But the reality of working right now for me is equivalent to draining. 

As much as I like what I am doing right now is almost equals to as much as I hate it. The joy of achieving and being challenged is seriously irreplaceable! But the time which I needed to invest in it is seriously beyond my expectation. Besides the joy of no jam after work, It is almost every week now I would be late/almost missed cell group, miss my hub and the time for myself and not to forget, God. 

It was a joy to all when I moved out from my plan to pursue another, but I wonder does anyone care about the content in me? Or maybe it is just for me and God to know. 

It is never easy to be trap in between what I want, I cant decide, I don't know, "how to let go?" and "what should I do" situation. 

This is where I am, a place where rebellion has brought me to. Do I regret? Maybe a little bit, but hey, at least I know I can do anything as long as I put my heart in it! My achievements has actually overtook my expectation but yet to reach my satisfaction.

Wrong decisions does not mean we will end up in the grave, 

just follow the rainbow and I believe we can get there someday! 

Just lift our hands and say HOORAY! 

At least we did something today! 

Let not disappointment drift us away. 

Just follow the rainbow and it shall be the colours of our day!

Bring back to life...

Looks like I have a habit of abandoning this blog once in a while!

Life have been real crazy previously like a roller coaster but I am pretty much back on track now...

Here I am writing with my semi conscious head. Hoping to recover by tomorrow! Ah..what happen? As usual... sick again... Flu and fever...and just got an injection again! 

So 2011 has begin! 2010 was a little dull in the beginning but manage to pick up as time goes on... Nothing is better than my Father who never gave up on me... I wonder how tired is He, chasing me up and down and all around!

2011 is going to be better and will also spice it up to do crazy thing...say play guitar and sing? or maybe perform? er...or maybe... try on some new look?? 

aahhh... ok it is getting dull here!

Let's write a random poem then!

Life is great when I am with you,

because there is something magical in you,

that makes me feel your love so true,

When when I am down you lift my blues,

When I am happy, together we bloom!

Darling, you will always be my groom.
