Dairy | Four leaf clover

I've tried documenting every day of this week through photos. I think I did pretty well.

Diary | Changing seasons

Hello blogging-sphere! Adjusting to the new uni life has got my head spinning at the moment. However that doesn't mean I haven't been piling up photos on my camera roll.

Diary | Must haves, Massad and More

I've been busy and lazy from work. The sky has been cloudy for over seven days straight so I have little motivation to snap outfit shots. But every cloud has a silver lining right? No pun intended. Okay I intended a little. In the absence of outfit shots, this is the perfect time for me to dig out old photos and share with you my photos from events and items I'm currently in love with.

Musing | Missing Home

A little cloud action because one can't travel over seas without a shot outside the airplane window. 

Diary | August favourites + wish list for September

Long time no blog. Well not that long but still I've been missing in action. I've just been so busy with school and university affairs. I did got to KJ's party on Friday night but I was stuck in school doing paper works till evening so I didn't have sufficient lighting for an outfit post before heading to his bqq (yeah bqq in da dark y not). The next day I went to AU open day but the whether was completely gloomy and grey. I didn't get the chance to take outfit shots then either because our schedule was so tight and by the time we were able to eat and shop, I really didn't have energy for photos especially knowing the lighting would be horrid. 

I have absolutely nothing to blog about as of right now so I've decided to post my August favourites/muse.

 Mum spoiled me a little.

I swear buy the Maybelline The Flasies! I buy the waterproof version to hold my curl.

I'm trying Wake Me Up by Rimmel for the first time and so far I really like it. It's not as shiny and Fit Me but it has about the same coverage. On days I'm feeling oily I will gravitate to Wake Me Up and on days I'm feeling dry I will gravitate to Fit me. I haven't used any of the other products consistently to have an opinion yet but feel free to ask me if you're curious.

Diary | Mini photo dump + Mini haul

I have a few photos just sitting in my folder doing nothing, so here I am putting them to work.

 Inside the civic theatre. 

 Daisy and I DIY'ed mugs a few months ago.

 I went for plain and simple, just for the sake of giving something new a go.

 I made my way to Botany before ball to pick up some nails but I didn't end up using them...

Wilting waltz.

 I love my bed.

 Aesthetic ;)

Still some of my all time favourites.

 Inglot lipstick palette: 100, 91, 96, 99 and 46 

 My cousin works for Inglot and sent me a little taster. She gave me bold colours that obviously aren't your every day wear. I picked out the clours myself from their play palette which is double this size with 5 more crazy colours. The formula is very creamy and I would say quite opaque. I think if you're not a professional makeup artist I wouldn't recommend getting these colours but if you're someone looking to try something different and fun then definitely go for it! These colours are definitely Halloween friendly. I've always been curious about what black would look on me and found it's a little too bold for me. However I know I'd be more accepting of the black if I mix it with any safe shades ranging from reds to pinks. One thing I would like to point out is that you will need to conceal the outline of your lips after you apply the colours because the shades are obviously worlds apart from your natural lip colour. Some of your natural lip will peep around the edges. Some people conceal the outline of their lips regardless of colour so this isn't an uncommon step in clean lipstick application. I just thought I'd remind you of the minor detail because if you're like me, you don't usually use concealer for your lips.

 Here me blending in the white, yellow and pink together. I think I might have put too much white but you get the idea of the peachy shade I was trying to achieve. (I didn't conceal the edges here because the colour is one of the more naturally human shades)

These selfies were taken yesterday! I'm wearing the pink (96) from the Inglot palette from above. I didn't wear it to its full strength though and went for a subdue look. 

  I've finally embraced my naturally brow shape. Hooray for me.

My contacts are EOS Dark Ice grey from lensvillage.com

I think it's perfect if you're looking for a naturally lightening. There aren't dark rings so that's part of the natural factor. The colour doesn't look natural because like all lens on an Asian, it just not a common colour that occur in our gene pool. But being fake as it may, it's one of the more realistic fake, if you're feeling me. I think to pull it off you're gonna need to do at least dark eyelining. I went for the natural approach and didn't realise my mistake until I took these photos. The big down fall on these were the comfort level. I wore these out yesterday (I blogged about yesterday in the last post) and it was almost unbearable for me. I constantly felt like I had something in my eyes (which duh you do) and it was painful to even keep my eyes open after a few hours. Beauty is pain? I've never had to use eye drops before in previous lenses (though I don't often wear lenses so I don't even know if I'm experienced enough for you to trust my opinion). However I will give these lens another go and next time I'll carry eye drops with me.

Diary | Pass the past

Some of the photos in this post will track back to as far as 3 weeks ago! I'm getting bad at posting but only because I lack excitement in my life, or I like motivation to make it look like I have excitement in my life. Most likely both.

Old post-run shot. My fitness has dropped lately because I neglected my training during the school holiday. I went for my first official run again with Mr J and it was torture.

I finally won the damn game! I can't remember when but it happened, so I finally have peace of mind and deleted the game.

Snacking on these are addictive. They don't even taste that good??? But can you stop? No. I was watching a LoL game with Daisy. Our ranked team friends were playing and as moral support we used our eyeballs to track their endeavors.

Cute little dog we came across on a run. Okay I lie. We came across the dog after we ran to the dairy to buy food and walked back home.

Noodles with Daisy...after the run.

Some rewards after a run.

The best history teacher left us! Not gonna lie, it's pretty depressing. He is the most cheeky teacher I've ever had. He always know how to make us laugh, and the best your-mum jokes. This was my first time taking history and with his guidelines I was always to achieve the grades I wanted. I doubt I'll ever get a teacher like him again, sad-faceX100.

When the holiday began I had to work in full swing because my mum left for Cambodia for family affairs (weddings, and visitations to the cousin-of-the-grandma-of-your-second-uncle-twice-removed and such family members, I guess). Dad thought a little pick me up was in order here and there to get me through the 2 weeks of waking up at 4am and getting off at 2pm. These donuts were my first installment.

This was the beginning of my short splurge on socialising in the holidays. I convinced myself I could still work and see my friends in the evening. I totally forgot that my body holds a small capacity for energy and I quickly burnt out two days later.

This was the second day where I made last minute plans to see Kina Grannis with Daisy and Sabrina.

We went to the city early to fit in some shopping and eating.

We had dinner at the Shelf, which is not overrated to my surprised!

Then it was time to line up.

Would you believe it, Harry Shum sat behind us at the show!

The amazing Kina!

 We arrived early and managed to snag up meet-and-great passes! Scooooore.

I got to touch her! (We hugged) She signed my autograph and I fangirled.

The next day was my 3 years anniversary with some dude I'm vaguely aware of. Daisy was my ride because she wanted to do some shopping at Botany while I went of doing whatever couples do that's g rated of course.

We had some sweets cos we sweet like dat. I think we're both savoury kinda people so that didn't satisfy us completely so we planned to have lunch when we meet up with Daisy, Fe, Cara and Don for a triple date.

Yeah I can ticked that off my bucket list.

I forced Shiv to come shopping with me before I decided that it was enough torture, and headed towards food court to find the others. We had McDonald's and then went to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The movie was cute but too cheesey in my opinion. I really hate cheesey story lines for someone who loves cheese so much.

Like I mentioned I crashed after my three days for fun, but energy demolishing activities. I had a congee ball to get back some strength and body heat on a cold morning at work.

 Made fore school but failed to save it that long...

 New shoes! Lub. (From Novo but they're out of stock now I believe)

 Mum and I share our lipsticks, well make up in general. Mum hardly steals my lippies but she usually borrow my bb creams and bronzer. It's mostly me who rummage through her draws for her lippies, therefore making my lipstick collect larger by three folds.

 I may have splurged and bought myself a Marc by Marc Jacob bracelet from Shopbop.

Another run tot he dairy. Suchhh fitz. We talked so much on this run and hardly run that fast, I didn't even feel tired! That certainly bit me in the butt today because our slacking off made our real run hell.

I think that's all the new haps with me. What have you been up to?
