Inspiration - Antoinette

 

 

 

Happy Tueday lovelies! I know its been ages since i update and there's piles of stuffs waiting for me to be reviewed :/ I'm one of those scumbag bloggers who'll go HIA every now and then!Aiks! I swear i'll update more often in my upcoming holidays! I spent the noon rewatching Marie Antoinette (the one with Kirsten Dunst), one of my favorite movie. I love everything about the show, come on, who hates Versailles? Whenever i rewatch the show it made me fell in love all over with the frivolity and fanciness of Louis XVI's reign,over the top couture ,decor and overflowing cakes (champagne).

 

 

Kirsten Dunst is definitely one of my fav actress

 Have you tried google Marie Antoinette?  One of the reason why i adore this queen is because she had left mark in everything you can ever think of and never seem to go out of style.

These are just some images that surfaced when i was browsing for Antoinette inspired rooms.

 

 An antoinette inspired wedding would be lovely too :D

Oh wells, i need to hit the books now.Till then,XOXO
End with this fav scene of mine from Marie Antoinette!

To sum up being 21.

You all know how i feel about dressing up in pink, manicures, dinning with my girlfriends and well, just being a typical bimbo just that i'm not blonde pampered. In fact, sometimes i think I'm in need of therapy because of the way i think. Like i love all things pink,white and floral.I'm just a typical girl who believes that yes, fairytale do exist. How naive can that be. I'm turning 22  and I have to admit, being 21 has taught me a lot and I'm really enjoying every single part of my life. I mean, what's there to hate about life?

As usual, I'll come up with something I've done in 21 to end this chapter of my life. Reading back on the 20things i've done in 20, i'm glad that whatever i wished for my 21st did came true in the end !

1. Lose weight{finally}

Yes , it's true. I used to be fat, i look hideous back then. And while this may be an indictment of my social life ,it is also an indictment of my relationship with my weight & body. Not suprisingly, my weight has always been going up and down. I love food {that's the understatement}. I adore food. Hence i got a love-hate relationship with the weighing machine.HAHA. So yes, back to weight gaining. I gained like 6 kg over 1-2 years and B has always been complaining about my weight issues. Until one day, he totally hit my limit and I decided to hit the gym. I've stop dancing for 2 years or so and that equates to the amount of time I've not been exercising.

I managed to shed of the 7kg and very euphoric about it. I have been working out and eating healthier so i look forward to every weight in and love the new me in mirror. For a while, I'll rejoice in the freedom of not weighing myself .Until uni starts and the weighing scale starts spitting out things I cannot understand. Instead of  hitting the gym 3-4 days per week, i went to gym 1-2 days/ week. Instead of eating healthy i started eating rubbish to keep me awake while I'm doing last minute assignments. I gained weight again . Fret not, there's a powerful explosion of anger within me and I'm going back to the gym now . No, I'm not aiming to lose more weight, I just wanna get rid of flabby parts! You know what, it's addictive.

2. Meeting new people & Events!

I love meeting new people. I love meeting new people everyday if i could! I'm really thankful for OMY as through this blogger event , I get to  know people like Kaya & Sharon *group hugs*. In 2011, I've attended my very first blogger event  hosted by Kanebo Freshel all thanks to Nuffnang :) . Oh, not forgetting Elfaine from TSS too as she has open so much more doors into my life by inviting me to attend events such as  K- Pallette Event,Bioessence Slimming Challenge, Bebe Poshe Product Launch and Sunsilk Event just to name a few.  I'm really thankful for all these opportunities given to me :D

3.Overseas trip

4. Bought a freaking DSLR

that bf complains it's too heavy for my petite frame -_- .  Canon 60D II. BEST.INVESTMENT.EVER . I'm still a newbie though and one of my 2012 resolution is to bring my babyC out for more dates :D I'm going to love you like no other ! Yes, i suck at it. I'll need to go explore and learn!

5. Made my first egg tart ever 

  6. One of the gifts that my dad gave me when i turn 21 is this gold key necklace . BUT I LOST IT AFTER WEARING IT FOR 10 MONTHS -____-  . I'm really sad about it cause i do plan to keep it as long as i lived as it means so much to me but ...sigh.

7.  Mr Awesome is still awesome . Not only he celebrated my 21st birthday, he actually celebrated the it the whole week. All sponsored trip to find Kimmy up North  sleepovers at Kim's,and  oh, he bought me an awesome gift too!

Still love your fringe up though. #Justsayin

8. My awesome sponsor made me fell in love with Laneige as they never fails to pamper me :3

9. I WENT TO  SG MUSEUM FOR THE FIRST TIME.#whataloser. I love it when B is willing to go on random artsy farty date with me as I'm a geek at heart. I love visiting museums, art gallery and stuffs like that. It'll be more awesome if I'm staying at Europe as they have countless museums and art galleries! I'm so excited for my 22nd birthday and Valentine ! LOL. I'm an efficient organizer. I plan EARLY.

10. Babe Ning big day {she look damn pretty on that day}and it's my first time being a bridesmaid!


11. Had my wisdom tooth extracted. Damn, i hate that it made me look like one freaking chipmunk for a week and it hurts so much

13. Oh yes, Graduated from NYP . I'm glad that I've chosen another path to pursue. I have been wanting to be a nutritionist/dietitian ,but ever since i enrolled into a Food Science course, it made me think twice. For starters,i hate chemistry. I abhor them, that's the reason why i'm not in pharmacy. I love interacting with people {duh} , i dont mind doing lab work but really , trust me, food science is boring. I'm doing psychology now in case you're wondering and you know what, I'm loving it.
14. Break my own record. only club once in 2011 and finally caught Wicked the Musical @MBS. Amazing



Last but not least, i love my life!
I mean it's my life, i have to be emancipated.I always do what i love, be with people i love,and never fail to love myself {except my fats, the irony}.It may sound pretty cliched, but really, life is not a dress rehearsal. Everything comes unexpectedly . I'm happy with what i had, there's so many people that's less fortunate than me. So yeah, being 20 something will be the best years of my life.

New year resolution?
Seriously, i need discipline and To be the best me I can be in all aspects

Singha Full Moon Party 2011

Attended Singha Full Moon party on the 25th Nov@ Attica,which is more than a month ago!I know i know, as usual, my entries are supposed to be up ages ago.Sorry loves, got too caught up in life!Anyway, the event started off pretty rocky i would say cause alot of my guest couldn't enter the event even though they're under my name :3 But it ended pretty well ! Believe it or not, it's the first time i enter a club in 2011 . #whataloser .
Pictures were kinda blur {iphone quality} as my sister brought the camera to her krabi trip . Bummer -.-

The girls taught me an ingenious way to take picture using iphone's front camera in a club.

B& his friend enjoyed the night with free flow Singha beer.

Glad to have these few girls in my uni life because they make it so much more awesome <3 What's more awesome is the fact that we will party together before our midterms!

Just a short update lovelies! I'm gonna paint the town tonight <3

Christmas with Laneige Styling Romantic Series !

Holla my lovely readers! Miss me much? tsktsk. Finally, i feel like a human again after clearing most of my stuffs and my favourite time of the year is arriving! Honestly, who wouldn't love Christmas?!!

This Christmas, I'm blessed with Laneige again! Laneige had recently launched a new range of products that girls will definitely fall in love with! For those who doesn't know what to buy for your girlfriends/besties, this is it :)

 For this entry, I've done at "romantic date" look ! Nothing too heavy, cause you dont wanna look like a Nippon paint when you're going out on a date. Many things can go wrong with thick make up .
 What if you watch a tear jerking movie? What if it rained? What if...? There's too many "what if"! So my advice would be..stick to something simple and sweet!

Laneíge Styling Romantic Blusher in #2  and  Styling Lip Dup in #SYR34  part of their Limited Edition Styling Romantic Holiday Makeup Collection 2011.

This blusher palette consists of a matte orange, matte peach, frosted white and frosted rose. I love the effect of blending all these colours together as it created a beautiful shimmery glow. On days that i choose to go for a lighter make up, I'll use the matte peace and matte orange. It is able to create a healthy glow .It's highly shimmery, so those who dislike shimmery blush, perhaps you might not like this product.

Since it's a date look, I'm piling frosted rose on top of the usual matte peach and orange .

Of course, highlight the nose bridge with frosted white to create more definition

Not forgetting the chin too!

 The styling lip dup comes with a lipstick and lipgloss. Lipgloss glides on easily on my lips and the lipstick is pretty lasting . Totally adore the angled brush which makes application fuss free  and most importantly, it is not sticky at all.

 This is how i like to apply lipstick & lipgloss on my lips. Not a fan of lipgloss though, so i will only use this when I'm out for something important! Pictures are described below from L-R
1) Nude Lip
2) Using a Concealer to redefine the lips.I love to have defined cupid bow! {picture taken at awkward angle,hence the weird shape}
3) After applying lipstick .
4) After Lipgloss. I really love the whole look after applying gloss, babypink lips without looking too...striking. Y'know,some babypink can make you look really weird?HAHA. I really love the fact that it's not sticky.
