Eye Spy

I'm on a roll! Here's introducing my humble collection of eyeliners that I currently am using. My MAC liquid eyeliner isn't here but it's alright because I rarely use it unless I'm partying. It's a little too harsh for daily use, I personally feel.

Dior Kohl Pencil Liner: Bought this from duty-free at the airport when I was traveling, only because my previous drugstore liner was running out. Now that I've found better liners, I really don't like the texture of this.

Bare Minerals Liner in Espresso: Love the color and great for day wear. However, the retractable function sucks because it sometimes just glides back in while I'm using it. Smudges easily without primer so definitely not waterproof like the lady at Sephora said.

Too Faced Liner in Perfect Black: Fav of the bunch! The color is a matte black and application is super smooth. It is waterproof so alright for day wear and nights out too. This was from Sephora as well.

After years of trying out eyeliners since high school days, I remember Physicians Formula to have one of the best pencil eyeliners but sadly that isn't available here. The Too Faced one definitely measures up because it's equally smooth-gliding, which means no tugging of delicate eyelids hurray!

The photo above is really random but I was so impressed by the fact that I actually finished using it to the last drop, especially since I've a new bottle of Sephora's makeup remover just waiting around. Usually when I buy something new, the old one gets left behind. That's really wasteful so yay for finishing up products and reducing wastage!

The Face Shop

Wanted to go out to buy some stuff but it was pouring and I was too lazy to deal with the rain, so I made some healthy Japanese green tea and decided to review products recently picked up from The Face Shop. Speaking of rain, I've been putting off buying a new umbrella because my dear Cotton On one has given up on me. I can even procrastinate buying an umbrella :)

So I ran out of many products for the past few weeks but never got down to buying new ones. My skin started breaking out crazily. It was horrible and still is but at least it's recovering.

My sister recently splurged on this Su Hyang Snow limited edition line at TFS and her skin is so bright and clear now so I wanted to give it a try. In the end I bought so many other things as well. The total for my purchase below was about $102 after a 10% member's discount. Never spent this much on skincare before (Sephora isn't counted) because my mom used to buy all these for me T.T

Su Hyang Snow Toner: I hate toner in general and haven't used any in years, but I love this. It controls oil on my face but there is no dryness/tightness as it's more of something that balances moisture level in skin. My face is healing thanks to this!

White Tree Snow Face Wash: Wasn't even planning to buy a face wash but was just randomly picking things off the shelves, and this's pretty alright. Clears my skin of any light makeup residue if I'm lazy and decide not to use a makeup remover.

Arsainte Eco-Therapy Line: My skin is very picky and I've been using the face moisturizer from this line for about 2-3 years and I love it. Not intending to change this out anytime soon.

Masks: Have yet to try because my dearest BFF Anna bought me this huge box of masks from Hong Kong awhile ago, which I haven't finished using yet. But these better be good because they're $4.90 each.

Hairbrush: This had a weird wooden(?) smell when I first opened it but thankfully it's gone now. All this while I've just been using a toothed comb from Muji but a brush might be better?

One of the main reasons why I went to TFS in the first place was because I really needed the facial mist which I had run out of and of course, I forgot all about it. So I went back again a few days later and at the same time decided I wanted new nail colors -.-

Pure Water Facial Mist (Jeju Marine): I love spritzing this on my face immediately after coming out of a shower. Can be used any time of the day for an instant burst of moisture and I love it.

That's all the products I got for now and hopefully my skin will get better very soon!

Real food at Newton

Had a late dinner at Newton Circus on Saturday and everything was so good omgawd. I remember mommy and daddy loved bringing the family there for dinner on weekends, until it got too crowded and dirty. This time when Darren and I went, it wasn't crowded because according to Darren, everyone was watching soccer.

Instead of ordering just root beer, I told the guy I wanted a root beer float without the float. WOWZ.

Whenever I have ice-kachang, it can only have brown sugar syrup on it and nothing else. Maybe I should just order a bowl of shaved ice next time without the ingredients which I don't eat anyway... I think the stall owner would be baffled.

Yay my Bath and Body Works candles arrived! Paid so much for these small babies. Am burning Pink Sangria now and it smells a little too sweet for me. Thank goodness I didn't order 2 of the same thing. Can't wait to try other scents soon!

Back to bumming on my bed :)

The Good Path

Let's take a moment to admire how beautiful this guy looks with his sequin cuff and his Monster headphones worth about $500.

Now back to reality with an OOTD! Have been wanting to take more photos but usually after dressing up, I'm in a rush.

Went to the post office at Ion and trekked Forever21 and H&M to look for more workout clothes. I find wearing big and loose clothes to exercise very uninspiring when I'm trying to get my body back in shape, so I'm on the lookout for tanks and cute shorts.

Can't wait to order a couple more sports bras from AE.com when I have the chance to because it's extremely comfortable and my girls don't feel squashed. That usually happens when I wear my Nike sports bras... Maybe they're the wrong size especially when I like to think I'm slimmer than I actually am.

I went to The Face Shop on Thursday and finally splurged on some skincare products that I just started using. Shall do a review on the items soon!

ThaiToGo.com

This is a rant entry on my used-to-be-favorite delivery restaurant, Thai To Go. I placed an order on the 1st of May which was May Day, a public holiday, and was so happy that they were open for business. Well the $66 I spent wasted could've been put to better use at McDelivery.com.

1. I ordered Deep Fried 3 Flavored Tofu but somehow the order was changed to Sweet and Sour Sauce Tofu.

2. Both Pad Thai Beef and Chicken had a chunk of chilli flakes in them though I specially requested and repeated thrice for no chilli because Darren is deathly allergic to it.

So when I made a call to the restaurant, I spoke to a lady first who then transferred to another lady, who then transferred to another lady, who then... Yes you get the idea. Only the 4th lady I spoke to was the one who actually took my order and I swear she had this very challenging tone when I told her my order was wrong.

She lectured me saying, "Cannot be that you ordered the deep fried one because I repeated your order TWICE and you were okay with it, so it CANNOT be that the order is wrong. You said okay when I repeated your order. It can't be wrong. Then for your Pad Thai the receipt states no chilli but your order has chilli is it? The best I can do is give you a $10 voucher for your next order."

IS THAT THE WAY TO SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER?!???!!! WHAT'S WITH THE STRICT AND ACCUSATORY TONE?!?!??? I was seriously fuming because how do you argue based on something that was heard. Plus I must add that I don't think she was paying very close attention when I gave her my order because I had to repeat myself so many times. And I did not hear Sweet and Sour Sauce Tofu at all.

This will be the last time I'm ordering from them. Have ordered from them about 4x in total and to think every time I order it's always $50-$90 that I spend and this is the service I get in return?! I'm not one of those anal customers who expect first class service when I'm only paying that amount, but as someone with about 4 years of experience in the service line, I expect basic courtesy and manners when it comes to customer service!

Ugh, needless to say it was a meal I did not enjoy so the next time you want to order from them, think twice for your money's sake.

West and East

It was utter madness rushing my Statistics report today. But at least it's done and my brain is fried.

Had a nice quiet dinner with Darren on Sunday evening. I think I've proven that if I don't get out of the house to take a breather every once in awhile, I go silly crazy on Darren.

Favorite rootbeer ever.

 I love mine medium rare!

So after handing in my report earlier in the evening, Darren and I met for another quiet dinner. #oldsouls

I took a taxi from home to school and from school to Novena, and the taxi fare was like $22 when it really should have been <$19. The driver went the wrong way when we were going to Novena and wasted so much of my time! Well at least I got my report in 5mins before the school office closes.

We ate at Seoul Yummy and honestly the standard of food has dropped since the last time I was there, many months ago. The side dishes were pretty lame and Darren thinks that the service standard dropped too, coming from someone who doesn't really notice anything besides his food.

What happens when you refuse to take a proper photo.

 Spicy Chicken Soup that wasn't spicy, just red.

 Potato pancake that probably wasn't cooked in the middle.

I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon because the food is really just blah. Not truly authentic Korean food is one thing but lacking taste and standard altogether is another. Oh when I called for the bill, this lady made us walk all the way to the counter at another part of the restaurant to pay when she could've just taken the card etc. I enquired about this when we were paying and the manager(?) who didn't seem to understand English just gave me a sheepish smile and said actually we could've just waited at our table to sign the receipt.

t(-.-t)

Now, I'm still hungry but so terribly sleepy.

School's out!

The last week of this semester is over and I'm sooo happy! My first ever ASOS purchase arrived too so that's always good news :D

Partied for a good cause on Thursday night at Butter Factory. Haven't gone clubbing in awhile so I had a blast dancing! And with all the dancing, my soul departed my body for the next day #oldsoul

Throughout the night, there were random drunkass strangers flopping themselves at our table either to rest(?) or sleep(?) so Ed made full use of the chance to entertain himself with them. This one in the white shirt took the cake. He fell asleep and didn't want to leave even when the night was over and it was so disgusting when he puked there!!!!! How inconsiderate can people be and where were his damned friends?! Ed wanted to send him home in a taxi omfgnoplease. I hope this dude knows how alone he is in this world.

Went to NaNa for the famous chicken wings and it truly is good and tasty besides the fact that it made my lips swell! Natural lip plumper not baaad at all.

I'm extremely proud of my macro food shot which looks so professional. And also, the taste of these wings reminds me of some spicy Thai flavored chicken KFC used to have, am I right?

Can't remember but I've a very bad sore throat now and it's annoying me so much.
