Well alrighty then!

I've been home a couple of days & my bod is still not caught up my time zone yet, hence just now getting around to a post. This is basically just a pic post.

I won't bore you with all of them-(there are almost 400. =P ) But here are just a few of the fun time ham & I had.

Ham forced me to take LOTS of pics (of me), but I only threw a handful of those in.

The pic of me with the random dude is an AWESOME guy named Albert. If you guys ever go to Vega$ & eat at the Denny's closest to Sephora in the Venetian (it's about a block up from there), please ask for him. He's so sweet & gracious-I know of at least 3 tables around us (including us) tipped him at least $20! That's how pleasant & accomadating he is. Really makes you feel at home, tell him Family from Florida highly recommended him (he'll know, lol). Also that Denny's is WAY nicer than the one that's past Paris. Just an FYI.

Uhm, Ham Claus needs no explanation! =P & what's up with the random vegas chicken? That is a chicken isn't it?

Oh & I will do a breakdown of the haulage in a separate post.

Heads up-if you are a fan of the max factor 2000 calorie Xtreme, you may want to check walmart grocery centers. I found the last tube they had here. So sad such a forefather brand in the industry is leaving our shores. =(

Enjoy!

FOTD before Christmas baking begins.

Here's a FOTD from Dec. 15- I put makeup on seeing I was going out grocery shopping to pick up a few ingredients before the Christmas Bake-A-Thon could continue.

Some things I've noticed lately. My foundation hasn't been looking so hot using the damp red cleansing sponge method. Just been looking not so fresh. I think part of it is that remnants of my tan are quickly fading but also drier skin. I am using honey/sugar scrub more frequently now and applying emu oil twice a day. I also think part of it is not drinking as much water- I just have such a hard time drinking water when it's cold. I am not alone with this because my middle son got a headache last week and said the same thing. I've been playing with other foundation application methods and liked the synthetic flat-top (Lumiere) damp application in the following look.

P1000491

Dayna Foundation with MMBB Grape mist- Lumiere flat top synthetic brush.

P1000499

Tarte Dollface and Flush gel blushes. (I have plans to make more blushes in 2010 because of these colors)

P1000546

Eyes-

P1000513

Gilded Beige (all over lid below crease) (this is such a neat color because it's like a drab gold-- not yellow, but a golden patina) Chocoholic outer V (this is a warmer (reddish) brown) Sable coat over Milan Gelle Drops (Sable Coat is an interesting "brown" because it's dark but has this olive cast)

Lips- Cover Girl Mauve Shine-- it's this product that's in lipstick tube but a little more glossy and sheer than regular lipstick. I am loving this color because it's just enough "berry" to brighten my lips without making me feel self-conscious.

Movie : Alice in Wonderland

My "vampire" fangirls mentioned Johnny Depp had a new movie [Alice in Wonderland] I was so bored and went to search the trailer in the wired world.

Good grief!! The trailer does look fun .. and exciting!! The sound effect is great too! Probably it's going to be better than [Charlie and the Chocolate Factory] (I found it's so-so)

Click here to welcome Alice back to Wonderland trailer

As usual, Johnny Depp is always acting "insane" character lah. But then, that what his fans love him so much!!

There is one jrock song I can think of : [Buck-Tick - Alice in Wonder Underground ] Also, a crazy PV! :)

Bored .. so a short rant

Today is my day off from work.

Later in the afternoon, I went for H1H1 vaccine appointment at the clinic which was fixed by HR dept. My mother went along with me because she's bored.

We didn't do much shopping after I done injection, so we headed home. Besides, the sky already dark, soon it's started to raining.

After reaching Clementi Station, she wanted to buy something from Fair Price, whereas I bought this loaf of white bread with oblong shaped brown skin at food court in the newly-built shopping mall.

S$1.30 only. Not really cheap.
It's my favourite bread. Don't really fancy toasted bread with butter/kaya lah. The texture becomes hardened if you don't eat immediately.
I love to eat brown skin. Delicious! ^^v BEST goes with butter!

Holiday decorations, FOTD for the week

So I got my holiday decorations up- save the live tree that we put up closer to Christmas. Thought I'd share with you.

This is our living room fireplace decorations. I made the stockings years ago.

P1000336

This is our entertainment center that is to the side of our couch- it houses the cable box, and other components since the house came with the flat screen TV you see above the fireplace and prewired such that all the other things plug in at this wall. The Steeler football is DH's gift from parents- Yes, he's already opened.

P1000338

This is a book case opposite of the fireplace that I also decorated. The rest of the house isn't decorated much- like the den won't be fully decorated until the tree goes up. Outside I keep it pretty simple- two small lighted trees at the entrance with red bows on top. Red bows tied to outside lights. Lighted wreath on the door. I also have these large puffy bows that I put on the ends of the brick stair "railing" Now if only I could keep the dogs from peeing on the trees. GRRR

P1000339

Here's two FOTD that I did this week. Once again I am shopping my stash and trying not to reuse eye shadows until I've gone through them all. I was kind of hating the photos because I was definitely in "mouth breather mode" due to my cold. Mouth breathing makes people look like they've lost IQ points in my opinion.

Foundation change to Dayna this week. Applied with MMBB Grape spray and red cleansing sponge. Couldn't cover the raw nose/flakey skin under it. :-( Mascara is Loreal Extra Volume with collagen topped with Maybelline Full N Soft WP.

Dec. 7-

Eyes- Rose Gold all over lid. Copperhead in crease. Green??? as liner over Milan Gelle Drops. Limeade as bottom liner.

Wait? What "them" I lost?

Just back from watching Twilight Saga movie : "New Moon"

First thing, my friends and myself noticed quite a number of guys among the fangirls in the cinema threatre.

HELLO??
........ HELLO??? This movie is for fangirls only!! :P *kidding lah*

At the beginning, I was little skeptical because I had read reviews and they gave below average rate. *yikes* Yeah, it was a slow start but the moment Jacob Taylor's transformation (short hair and show off his bare top) --> OMG .. !!! He has damn a nice body to look at *_*.. six pack!!! .. tall too!

Sorry, I always go crazy little when I spot some guys with great body (not very muscle type lor) .. oh yeah, I gaga over ... little longer.

Hey all- sorry I haven't posted FOTD in a while. I haven't been wearing makeup much or haven't had chance to do photos- so quite a lack of them.

Been busy with Christmas ramp up and fighting a cold. Started getting sore throat last week and it has progressed to nasal and chest congestion. My poor nose is raw. I took weekend off on working out but am forcing myself to do squats today- writing this in between sets-- think treadmill might be pushing it--- seeing I can't breathe so great. LOL Did decorate the house (except tree which we put up about a week before) and need to do cards and baking yet. Only have 3 things to pick up and waiting for some deliveries- then wrap those few items and I am done with gift part of Christmas.

I also need to make the dogs some cedar filled beds. It's turned colder here and Sully has dumped a flower pot and trying to burrow into this bit of dirt on the deck because there are no cedar beds to snuggle into when they are out during the day. I buy inexpensive fabric and make a pillowcase- fill with cedar chips (love how they smell like little hamsters LOL) and then sew end shut. I will make them some very large ones for outside and smaller ones for their cages. Have to go buy a big bag of cedar chips for this.

So I am still "shopping my stash" trying not to reuse eye colors (except highlighter colors if I am wearing that.) All photos using Dayna Dark (may need to go to Dayna- it's crazy how fast color changes) and MMBB grape mist. Brows are Just Browsing Brown. Mascara Loreal Extra Volume (non-WP) with collagen with Maybelline Full N Soft WP over it.

Dec. 1-- you'll see some blemishes-- my face went really crazy because I waxed my mustache before Thanksgiving (plus probably stress too)

Mauving On Up Blush

Eyes- Rustic all over lid. Purple Haze in outer V. Better than Black as liner.

Lips- Melange and Petty Beige lip tars over clear gloss

Dec. 2-- taken with flash-- I hate how it gets so dark so early now. :-(

Loca Mocha Blush

Violet Vesper Glow

Eyes- Sea Mist (inner 1/2) Winey crease, Sterling Violet outer "liner" In Color Fabuliner in Black

Lips- Pageant and Petty Beige lip tars over clear gloss

Dec. 4 (not feeling so great this day)

P1000315

Pinch Me Blush

Eyes- Lav It Up inner 1/2, Chocolate Diamonds in crease. Vanilla Cream as highlight, Venerable Vert over Milan Gelle Drops as liner.

Lips- Fondue, Anime and Feathered lip tars over clear gloss.

Two more sets of 10 at 85 pounds left on my squats-- time to finish those up.

Meet "MV Doulos", Vivo City, 15 to 27 Dec 2009

Doing free publicity lah :)

Two days ago, I blogged about I went for Henderson Waves trail, right?

And, I met some foreigners doing some stunts on the trail and, out of the blue, they appeared onto my camera frame.
I exchanged email address with one of them so that I could forward photos to them :)
