Beauty Trends of 2011

Had this sudden urge of doing some quick blogging, but is damn lazy to edit photos I've taken in events or outings, so I shall just like 'copy and paste' some information I saw in Vogue's website and talk about Beauty Trends of 2011 (prediction.... I guess!?)


2010 is going to end in less than 48 hours from now, and seriously I have a fear of what's waiting for me in 2011. ( I know I said that I will accept any new challenges in my previous post.... But you know, woman tends to have their own safe zone and protect themselves.)


One of the things I'm DYING to know is: What's in trend (fashion) for 2011!? And these is what I got:

*Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2011*

Sun-kissed Seventies Glow:

No more autumn/winter like earth tone for new year, a sun-kissed skin is what in trend for the lovely spring and summer of 2011. And by looking at this photo, I assume that one should have perfect, flawless skin like the model to achieve such a glowy look. Boohoo for those who rely on foundation + concealer = ME! :(

*Freja Beha Erichsen at Gucci spring/summer 2011*

Perfectly Painted Red Lips:

Easily can be achieve with a lip brush! Plus a lil bit of concealer to shape it up if you're a messy painter just like me. But with this lips, you'll have to keep other face feature to the minimal, no heavy shape eyebrow, no bronzer shaping, no heavy eyeliner (except you want to portray punk/rock style), and of course, not so colorful attire. Maybe my 1st of January look should be something like this, Ha!

*Derek Lam spring/summer 2011*

Bright pastel eyeshadow colours with a chalky finish:

Bright, pastel, colour, if don't know how to do it right, will end up look like ah lian. -_-""" Actually I'm quite bored of earth tone eyeshadow already, but at the same time, I don't think I can carry pastel colour.... I think I shall give this a pass. (Or just secretly do it when I'm alone at home. Haha!)

*Marc by Marc Jacobs spring/summer 2011*

Big, Blown-out Seventies Frizz:

It's all about 70's style!!! But no, I can't do this to my hair.... no, No, NO!!!!

*Lindsey Wixson at Versace for spring/summer 2011*

Beautiful, Natural Skin That GLOWWWWWWSSS:

Beautiful skin, glowy skin, it really seems I need to 'scrub' my face more often from now....

*Christian Dior spring/summer 2011*

Loval (Long + Oval shaped), Perfectly manicured and Lacquered in EYE-POPPING COLOURS:

Did I told you that NEON COLOURS are in trend for 2011!? Even Burberry have some neon colours for their Spring/Summer 2011 accessories! I guess it's time to get more colours to add into my nail polish collection while the year end sales is still going on!

*Vera Wang spring/summer 2011*

Strong but Groomed Brows:

Woohoo~ An Asian face I saw, that means most of us have what it takes to create this type of brows! But same thing with the red lips style, other than the brows, other strong statement in any other section of the face feature will just make you look so wrong... So just stick with the brows ONLY!

*Donna Karan spring/summer 2011*

Soft, Feminine hair rolls with carefree, flyaway texture:

Hairstylists... S.O.S!! Good skills are needed to create this kind of carefree, flyaway texture, if not, will definitely look like you just got out of bed, in super rush and went out forgetting to comb your hair! Practise, practise, and more practise!!!! 

*Rodarte spring/summer 2011*

Chunky, Decorative Hair Barrettes:

It's time for Barrettes (I actually went google what is Barrette -_-"), no more for Alice Bands! (I prefer barrettes more than  Alice Bands, I look hilarious in Alice Band). Yay! I just love chunky, decorative hair accessories, don't you?

Last but not least, what I saw and think is essential in creating the Spring/Summer 2011 looks is NUDE LIPS (Except if you want to paint it red). Nude x Bright, Eye-Popping colour = balance out the looks! Yay! I think I just learn something today!

Let's style it up and look beautiful in year 2011 too! Happy New Year!!!! ^^

Hello & Goodbye

Hi everyone.... It's been a while since I wrote my last blog post. I felt a bit paiseh for not updating to so I decided to write some nonsense tonight.


It's already the 23rd of December year 2010, 8 more days to a brand new year! How's your 2010 been? (OK! This post was suppose to be up on the 23rd!! And now is already THE 28TH!!! AHHHH!!!)


Mine is GREAT!!! I had met so many people this year, been through so many events, learned so many new stuff and never think of that I will be standing where I am standing right now. Not only just my own effort, everyone around me did well in helping me along way, I really have to say: THANK YOU!!!!


On the other side, my life is pretty much hectic with a lot of  emotional ups and downs, in EVERY SINGLE DAY! Don't know whether is it my unbalance hormone, unbalance diet or just pure Geminians thinking, my emotions are like roller coaster!!!! (Really thinks that those who able to withstand my weird emotions are God-Like!)


2011 is going to start in just a blink of eye, I will get ready (I hope!) to accept all the new challenges!!!


Oh ya! I haven't set my 2011 New Year Resolution.... Do I even have to start doing it? LOL! Maybe I should..... (Maybe no!?) LOL! I don't know la!!!! Whatever!!!!

P.S: I think I just thought of one of my 2011 new year resolution: Go Travel!!! (Sounds more like a wish! Hahahahahaha)

I was trying to figure out how to look decent carrying a camera bag to a party with all the dress up and stuff, but heck, I know there won't be an answer.... It is either I carry a bulky black camera bag, or I leave the camera at home. SAD CASE!!!!

Someone please invent some nice camera bag for lady use in party! Especially DSLR female user!!!!!! 

Futuromic Imaging Fair 2010

Am a photography enthusiast since don't know when (an influence during secondary school club I think) and was consistently taking photos with my camera all the time. Upgraded to Canon 1000D May this year, and am so glad I had my baby Canon to accompany me to events and work and making all the memories a long lasting ones.

On 22nd of October, am gladly being one of the media invited to Futuromic Imaging Fair 2010 by AXPR (Amber Chia & Xavier Mah PR Agency) which held at Lower Ground Concourse of Berjaya Times Square.

Futuromic Imaging Fair was organized by Futuromic Photo AV Sdn Bhd, one of the exclusive and nationwide  distributor for many well known brands like Nikon, Sandisk, Tamrons and more. Besides, Futuromic even become a joint-managing partner for Malaysia's First and South East Asia's Largest Nikon centre which also located at Berjaya Times Square.

Ashame that I didn't aware of Futuromic before, but now I did!!! All thanks to Xavier who invited me over to witness the launch of this wonderful photography fair which I think any photographer too don't want to miss!!

Ginvera's Rynn Finds The Bride Contest

I've never spam so many people in Facebook for my whole life. (Apparently because I never bother to take part in any contest that needs 'vote' in Facebook, I'm way too lazy to beg for people to vote for me.)


And I don't know why, I just got nominated as one of the Top 10 contestants for this Ginvera Rynn Finds The Bride Contest. (I mean I know why, because I submitted myself to the contest, some more is yesterday, the dateline of the contest!)


To be honest, am not a fan of Rynn (林宇中)... Just got attracted by the prize!!! I want a bridal make-over!!! Even get the special prize then I'll be drop dead happy already!!!


Just got the call from the company this morning, saying that they'll upload my photo and let public vote for it, once I heard the 'vote' word, I'm like half give up already. I truly understands how annoying it is when people spam your wall, asking you to vote for them for some contest. And now I'm in this situation. Boohooo~


Another thing is, just now when I check the votes, some contestants got like hundreds of votes already! Makes me wanted to give up more... LOL!


Anyway......

Kurosaki Kei's Convocation

This is the FIRST convocation I've ever attended (Because I didn't attende college/uni, that's why) and I'm quite excited! LOL!


It's my beloved ji mui - Kurosaki Kei's big day! Ahhh~ Am so touching seeing her wearing mortarboard, feels like as if my real sister just graduate! I even bought a BIG Domo-kun as graduation gift!

TAR College's Convocation

It's a real headache trying to find parking space around TAR College during convocation day. I didn't have the yellow car park ticket, so I have to find parking on my own. And I did an illegal car park, which I parked the motorcycle parking area. LOL!


Reach there around 4pm (I guess??) and all the graduate students were out from the hall already! So many people around, all wearing the same graduation gown and mortarboard were making me headache. Luckily Kei's smart, she's standing below the main hall, seeking for me at the same time.


Was still having shiny red hair by then, not a hard task finding me I guess. LOL!

Convocation

So many students and their family and friends... Everyone were busy talking and taking photo.

Omedettou, Kei-chan!!! 

Kei's coursemate and friends

Calvius' gf, Ivan, Kei and Calvius

Sun was fierce that day, you can see most of the graduate students were sweat dripping hot and stuffy... But the smile on their face shows how proud they are to be able to attend this one convocation of their life, a mile stone for them to remember and set path for a new journey in life.


During that time, I was all struck with the feeling: Me too, want to attend my own convocation, am I able to study again? And at the same time, feeling regret for not admit to college after my STPM even though I have t start all over again.


One of the recent question that pops up in my mind is: Can I study again?

Am so glad that I attended her convo, one of the memories I cherished and shared with Seisyun!

Yayy! I graduated too!! Hahahahahahaha!

After view my photo of wearing the mortarboard, Peiyue told me that it's not good to wear the mortarboard if you're still studying, because in Chinese belief if you wear somebody's mortarboard before you can graduate, you won't even have the chance to graduate. LOL! Luckily I'm not studying. Haha!


Anyway, super happy that I can attend this convocation of a best friend of mine. Kei-chan, thanks for sharing me the wonderful happy feeling of graduation with me. Love you so much! Wish you all the best in your work field ne! Gambatte FIGHTO!!!!!!






An extra graduation memories for you:

All The Best!!!

Blank

I am so blank right now, like totally black out and can think of nothing I can achieve at the moment. You don't know how scary it is...


Feel that there's no target to go for, or should I say, all the targets are way too far to be reach, and I'm a lil bit exhausted trying my best to reach it... Both mentally and physically tired.


Can't feel the happiness nor the unhappiness like how I used to feel, everything is so tasteless. I know that for now, I'm not me... I'm not the pure me.


I taste fear in me, every moment. Fear of losing myself more and more, fear of not knowing my true self anymore, the fear of being blank like this forever... The fear is crushing me inside out.


The fear, the blank, and my weak soul...


Oh God, lead me to the right path, when everything was once right. I shall rest and let you be my light of this misty road in front.



*seriously, I'm a terrible person who only search for God when I'm in trouble... Such a terrible feeling.*

Tanzini, G Tower

*This is the 500th blog post of mine!!! Congrats to myself for be able to stick to blogging ever since 2006!! I've never done something which is the same thing for so freakin' long period, I feel I just become mature a bit wtfhahahahhahahahahha*

Got really lucky when I was one of the invited 'media' to blog about the Petronas event and the PR agency treat us lunch that day.... And the lunch will be held at Tanzini, 28th floor of the newly open G Tower!

Tanzini.... Am gonna try 'you' today! XD

The first thing I can think about when I walk into this restaurant is.... I'm so freakin under dress!!!! Just wore a  pair of jeans + jacket + flats + a pair of nerdy looking glasses to disguise because am not wearing any make-up. Gah! I look so weird!!!

If I'm given another chance, I will wear a dress lo seriously! I don't mind wear the dress to the Petronas launch event also, with full make-up on! Haha!

Classy and cozy

The warmth feeling.... Me love!!!

Since this restaurant located at 28th floor, we all know that sure they will have an awesome......

OUTDOOR!!! Omg! My dream balcony!!!

All cars parked in the parking lot looks so cute... Toy car alike!

Even I look so tired that day, I still have to camwhore a bit! Haha! Leave some beautiful memories of Tanzini in ma blog ma! XD

The view is spectacular, I wonder how the view looks like when is at night!

Me, Tammy and Fatin spend so much time chillin' and camwhore at the outdoor, kinda forgot that we actually felt a bit hungry.... 

From Farm to Table - Tanzini

It was lunch time... And have you ever had any dilemma when it comes to 'media guests invited for lunch'? To be exact is feeling a bit don't know what to order, at all??? That's what running through my head while I'm browsing through the menu! I don't know what to order!!!

Should I order the set lunch? Looks okay but there are something I don't know how it taste like (I'm afraid that if I don't like it, nobody there will finish it up for me like how my family did. LOL! Food wasting is a No No!)

Wow! There's Wagyu! But it's like the most expensive main course in the whole menu... Should I order that??? I so wanna eat Wagyu, never tried before!!! But can I? Will they think I'm just taking advantage on them??? Better don't order Wagyu then.... But then I don't think I have chance to eat Wagyu anymore (in near future)..... Decisionssss!!!! T_T

I'm like talking to myself throughout the time, making decisions of what to do what not to do... And dining etiquettes too. Suddenly I feel like I'm so little girl, stepping into the business social world. (And some more an under dress one. FML!)

They serve hot fluffy buns! Dip bread appetizers with three kind of aromatic herbs oil and butter. Yums!

After much consideration and stuff, I decided to skip main course, just order appetizer and desserts instead. I even bbm and consult my friend what should I order, mana tahu my friend say: Just order the most expensive stuff in the menu! What the.... Not helping at all. -_-"

Cream of Mushrooms... Lots of mushroom bits in this bowl of goodness. Me likey!

And while savouring my bowl of appetizer, some of the main course of friends has arrived... And at that very moment.... I regretted for not order the main course. T_T But when the lunch goes on and on, and when I see some of them can't finish their pasta, I'm felt relieved I didn't order the main course (which I doubt I can finish it all by myself.) Such a Geminian.

Anyway, here comes the highlight of my lunch - Chocolate Pot with Almond Biscotti!

This is one hella awesomeness chocolate pot!!! Can I order another pot for take away please???

Very crunchy yet tasteful almond biscotti! Oh yums!!!!

Overall, it was a fun experience lunch with all the peeps from PR agency and blogosphere. Learn lots of thing throughout the lunch and definitely is an eye opening experience. Hope there's more to come!! ^^
