still recovering. the doctor gave me another 2 days worth of mc. this period is by far the worst fever that I've had this year and there is only a few days left till 2012. 

i have mixed feelings welcoming the new year and i have no idea why. 

my 2011 has been a rather okay. wouldn't say it is the best year but i make do quite well. and the best decision I've made this year is to break up with my ex. i feel way better emotionally and I'm very much glad of that fact. 

plans for 2012, still none. i have an outfit i waned to wear to celebrate the new year but if I'm not going anywhere, well, what's the point.

still sick.

just got back from breakfast with the usuals at Macdees. had my usual breakfast deluxe meal just because i was that hungry and i didn't eat the night before.

i still can't believe that I'm still down with fever. my mentee said that it might be viral fever because she had it a couple of weeks before and it took ages for her to recover and what with the weather - almost raining everyday, doesn't help me recover that much.

me being stubborn also doesn't help at all. apparently when i'm sick my appetite grows even bigger and i eat food stuffs that normal behaving sick people should not be eating.

luckily, traffic at work wasn't a nightmare and my mentee was nice enough to do the work for the whole shift. i was definitely out of commission by the time we went to our second counter. zombie mode on full.

she even forced me to take a nap. which i eventually did just because i couldn't take the head spinning anymore.

my nose is still stuck, my throat still sore and i hate it when i cough. my voice will decide to do a disappearing act in between coughs.

it's time i drink some honeyed chrysanthemum tea, my own homemade remedy to battle the flu or the viral fever i have going on.

i hope i don't infect anyone else and i hope i recover soon. the new year is coming and i do not want to be in bed counting down 2012 with a viral fever going on in my body.

better go get my rest as well. :)

random (edited)

still editing my blog. so far so good.

it has been a long time since i have done any coding and it is giving me a headache. i think i'm still left with adding the sites i frequent such as beauty gurus web pages and shopping sites.

actually thought of using wordpress but I'm very much a beginner when it comes to rearranging codes and so to prevent any confusion on my part, i decided against it. however it would be nice someday to have my own website. maybe i could pay someone to do it for me but it would probably be expensive.

I'd better get back to the editing. loads of websites need to be added to this blog of mine.

toodles. :)

**********

okay, i'm done for today. will be adding more sites i frequent on a later date.

makeup setup :)

hello again.

I'm done taking pictures. not that extravagant of a post because I'm lazy after the disappointing attempt at makeup just now. 

enjoys. :)

the top of my table. just the normal everyday stuff that i use like my toner and repair cream and moisturisers. my glasses, a whole pack of cotton pads, my current set of brushes. 
my makeup collection, thus far. not that much because i got into makeup only mid of 2010. my most expensive purchase to date is my Dinair airbrush kit. :) and it is an investment well made. not at all disappointed w/ the results after i started using it. 
my accessories drawer, slightly messy. i guess i need to buy something to organize it. 
the misc stuffs. loads of cotton pads. those polka dot boxes are tampons and yes, i use them. the rest are my toner and face wash, moisturisers and lens solution. i like to keep extra handy just in case i forget to buy when it's finished. 
the 2 boxes filled w/ my stuff. left is misc stuff, still very important though. the right is filled w/ my books and other more important stuffs. basically both are important boxes. heh. 
i placed the bear there just because. :D

the next few pictures are my attempt at makeup. in the end it just disappointed me.

before

 afters.

i think i just made my face look flawless and that's about it. sometimes i don't like the way my eyes are hooded and shaped because whenever i take pictures, whatever i did w/ my eyes cannot be seen clearly. but i am thankful that Allah(swt) gave my eyes in the first place.

anyways the products used are;

( L - R, clockwise: Benefit browzings in dark, Dinair corrective concealer - the best concealer i own, Urban  Decay eye primer, lip gloss by Avon, Bobbi Brown blush in washed rose and gel liner in black - i also swear by this liner, Bellapierre mineral foundation in ultra, Avon pencil liner and Benefit's highlighter pencil in pink. 
that's about it i guess.

next time i blog i shall have fixed titles and fixed labels so i don't get totally overwhelmed because my blog is totally random.

hello!

oh, hey. it's been ages, again, since i last blogged.

reason being, i have been waiting for the desktop, our very own desktop, to arrive. and its finally here 'cos im using it right now. heh

anyways,
nothing much has happened.

still single, work still sucks, family is awesome, my cats are forever cute, my favourite ladies are forever awesome and my colleagues are fun.

the major new in my life as of now is that i've started to do something about my room. just last week i bought myself a long table and a set of drawers to use as a vanity table which i have nicely placed under the window because that's where the best lighting comes from. i kinda prefer to use natural light to apply my makeup rather than depend on the only light source in the room which is not so good. at night time it does work wonders when i work on my face but during the day, not so much.

ive arranged my collection neatly into the drawers and placed the mirror, brushes and everyday stuff that i use on top of the table. easier to get to rather than having to open and shut drawers every single time. less chance of me losing them or forgetting where i put them. i am known for being careless.

also bought boxes for temporary storage. 2 for me and 2 for sister. managed to divide everything accordingly and i thought 2 boxes wasn't enough and with the budget i had, i couldn't buy more than 2 per person. so it surprised me that it was more than enough.

my books and other stuffs are  now separately stored in 2 boxes and i managed to squeeze in my shoes in the bottom half of my closet.

since i bought all these stuff to kick things up. the next few stuffs will be up to sister. after everything has been bought and assembled, the last step would be painting our room. sister suggested something dark or boutique like. we'll see how everything goes first.

we still need more shelving though.

well, anyways, i'll be back later to post pictures. i have yet to try out the new makeup setup that i have.

till then. :)
