Exhausted & demotivated

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

I've been given a job promotion. But sadly, I'm not sure if it's a happy thing to shout about. Especially when things are in a total mess right now. I do enjoy a certain part of my new responsibility. However, I realised I became less efficient cuz I now have to deal with people who are exceptionally difficult to work with. On top of that, it's impossible to leave my old job behind.

*sighs* I'm so drained out & I need help. Hoping that things will become a little wee bit easier in months to come. Crossing my fingers now. I really don't know how long I can go on like this. How demotivating. =(

All Shiny White Date Day 14

Thursday, September 10, 2009

D-day has finally arrived! Or should I say today is my big day. One final task to do & I'll be heading to paint the town red white. With my darling WL, of course.

Brush twice a day & I'm all set for tonight. =)


All Shiny White Date Day 13

Wednesday, September 09, 2009

Omg, it's the 13th day already. How time flies! Tomorrow will be the final day for my preparation. And I'll off to for my perfect white day. As usual, I wouldn't miss my daily regime of keeping my teeth sparklingly clean with a scent of fresh minty breath.


It's makeup time. With the right selection of colours, any ordinary girl can be transformed into a beautiful "princess". My task is to identify the type of look that I want to achieve for my date. Be it the sweet, innocent lady or a sexy siren.


Knowing that my facial features wouldn't be able to pull of a sexy, sultry image...I've decided to go for a sweet, innocent look to highlight my natural beauty. I feel that pastel colours would suit me more. Those dark colours would probably make me look like a drag queen =P

Day 12!! Two more days to go. Can't wait~ XD

Let's brush, brush. Keep on brushing for that dazzling white teeth.

All Shiny White Date Day 11

Monday, September 07, 2009

Eleven days & counting...to my fabulous white date with my beloved. Can't wait! What better way to charm my date with a perfect white smile? With Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste, of course.


A beautiful dress is incomplete without a perfect shoe to match. After much searching, I've decided to pick this shoe to complement my date. =)


It's the Cole Haan Ceci Air Rose Slingback with fabulous rosette details & designed with Nike Air technology for extra comfort. It sure is expensive but definitely super duper comfortable.

After all, who wants to go on a date & having to fake your smile while your ill-fated shoes are pinching hard on your feet? You can always flaunt your style without compromising comfort.

The last & final destination

Sunday, September 06, 2009

I was in for a bloody, gory movie yesterday. Movies that I never thought that I would pay to watch in the cinema. I decided to give it a try since WL had shown much interest in this massive killing movie.


It didn't turn out to be scary like you would expect from horror movies. Of course, the movie was as disgusting as you can imagine it could be. I thought I'd nearly puked. You see human flesh get squashed & minced into pieces just like you insert meat into a food processor. Eww...

In general, I personally prefer the 3rd instalment of the movie. Not that I'm huge fan but this 4th movie is so ridiculously short - merely 1 hour 40 mins - that it's definitely a waste of every dollar we spent. The plot is predictable like all Final Destination movies but I remember the previous ones were much better, to be honest. Nevertheless, it was a good experience watching with WL cuz I was holding on to his arm tightly each horrific scene appears. XD Felt so good that he's around.

All Shiny White Date Day 10

Believe it or not, it's already 10 days that I've gone through the preparation for my white date. Four days left & I'll have a perfect white date with my dream guy.

But before that, I need to freshen up my breath & brighten my smile with Darlie's toothpaste, All Shiny White. Dazzlingly white~

All Shiny White Date Day 9

Saturday, September 05, 2009

It's Day 9 already! Five more days to the white date with my perfect guy. I can never forget my daily regime - using Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste for fresh minty that lasts almost the entire day.


Every inch of a female needs attention in order to look her best. The next important thing is the crowning glory - hair. Choosing the right style is essential in order to create a presentable & attractive image. The hairstyle & colour should at least reflect one's individuality & enhance her image by highlighting the good; hiding the flaws.

I'm not as fortunate as some ladies who are blessed with thick, dark beautiful hair that looks good no matter what kind of hairstyles they adopt. For me, I have to be very selective & so far...I looked the best in soft, luscious curls. Something like...

...this.


This.


Or this.


I bet my date couldn't lift his eyes off me after seing such gorgeous tresses. =) My perfect white date, here I come!

All Shiny White Date Day 8

Friday, September 04, 2009

I just can't get enough of brushing with Darlie's toothpaste. So refreshingly minty & the white effect is to die for...


Surely my white date can't resist the temptation to lean over to me for a kiss! XD

MUACKS~~

All Shiny White Date Day 7

Thursday, September 03, 2009

With constant brushing using Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste, there is a no doubt that my teeth is sparkling white every single day.


Ohh la la...that's shiny!

Next, it's time for me to go for a manicure to groom my little nails. Which guy wouldn't wanna hold the hands of his girl with such beautilicious, perfectly polished nails? Long, beautiful nails exudes a sense of feminity & charm in a woman/girl.


There were 5 different manicures to choose from & being a girly person that I am, I settled for the Garden of Eden. It's painted with light pink varnish plus floral patterns "airbrushed" on it & coupled with some shiny studs to add a bling effect to it.


I'm ready to roll~ Can't wait for my white date with my perfect dream guy...or should I say, with WL? ;)

All Shiny White Date Day 6

Wednesday, September 02, 2009

(Only) Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste can bring out that dazzling smile in you.


Even cats love it too~ =P


Keep brushing, ladies!

All Shiny White Date 5

Tuesday, September 01, 2009

Time for brushing!!


And a little facial that do wonders for the skin. It's important to identify the type of skin you have as each individual differs from one another. This is to ensure that the right products that suits the skin is used & prevent any further outbreaks or skin complications.

Ladies with dry or normal skin is advised to use foam cleanser cuz it helps to maintain a moisturised skin. Whereas gel cleanser is recommended for ladies with oily skin so as to wash out dirt & excess sebum that might lead to blemishes & outbreaks i.e. pimples, acne yadi yada.

After wash, moisturiser can be applied to dry or normal skin to keep it hydrated. Otherwise, ladies with more oily skin should stay away from moisturisers. And then you do mask once a week to restore its natural smoothness & radiance. Cucumber slice works wonders in treating tired eyes & tensed skin due to its cooling effect.


Voila! Here I am with beautiful fair skin, simply irresistible to him.

All Shiny White Date Day 4

Monday, August 31, 2009

As simple as 1-2-3, as easy as ABC. Brushing my teeth with Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste makes them sparkingly clean with fresh minty breath. ^^



P.S. Some people might be wondering why I'm posting my daily progress of the contest & help promote the brand. Well, I don't get paid out of doing this but I'm doing it willingly cuz it keeps me busy working on writing & posting up new stuff in order to keep my little blog alive. I'll become really lazy if I don't use some of my brain juice to think of a topic to type about on my humble lappie, y'know. It keeps me going when life seems bleak & less motivating. Furthermore, I have some avid followers (though not many) who drives me to blog even more. Very encouraging. =)

All Shiny White Date Day 3

Sunday, August 30, 2009

Dear peeps, it's the third day. Let's see what's the task lined up for me. *determined*


It's non-stop brushing time. After that, it's time for "dress shopping". Basically, I'm supposed to hunt for a white dress that I would wear to my white date. On one condition, it has to be a spot-on dress that will dazzle him to the point where he can't possibly peel his eyes off you. Dress hunting, I did & narrowed down my options to two. It was seriously difficult to decide which one suits me best. Knowing that I don't go for flamboyant styles; in which to me is trying to hard to shout out loud. Simplicity, innocence & sweetness describe me the best; if that dress encompasses them - accentuating my curves & creating an illusion of a well-endowed bosom - it's more than enough to sweep WL off his feet. Ultimately, my white date is no other than him after all. ;)

I was contemplating between these two designs...


And the verdict is...


Dress 1 is interesting but I'd probably won't have enough boobs anyway to support the upper chest area. As you can see, the model is a little flat too & it didn't look very attractive to me. Wearing a push-up bra won't do justice either. A very chic dress but if it doesn't flatter my body, no-no. I felt Dress 2 will indeed highlight my chest area; creating a large bosom (illusion-wise). The material used is soft & flows well with the body. It exudes a certain charm - elegant yet simple, innocent, sweet & lady-like. A plus point to portray another side of me...youthful & feminine. Now I'm one step closer to my beautiful white date. ^^


Dress 2 is designed by Priscilla of Boston

Bad luck as ever

Hours ago I was ranting about how devastated I was when the HDD decided to fail without any prior warning. Guess what? The anklet tied around my left ankle in which WL bought from Vietnam broke into two. I seriously refused to believe what had happened a couple of minutes ago. First, one of the gem dropped of the anklet. I felt really bad about it.

Now it's worse cuz it's no longer wearable. Beyond repair. =(


T_______________T



I'm so not a happy girl right now.

HDD failed!

I always learn lessons the hard way & what's worse is that I never really learn to avoid the mistakes I made before. My good 'ol external hard drive decided to fail on me yesterday. And I DID NOT backup my files! *cries* Should've noticed the warning a few days ago when my PC could no longer detect it upon plugging into the USB port. *sighs*

To my horror, the drive is producing a clicking sound - what the tech people calls the "clicking sound of death". Besides tht, the drive is even emitting a rather strange beeping sound reminiscence of heart beat from a machine in a hospital ward. The drive has finally meet its doomed fate.

I should've known...I really should. What's even more devastating is that it's not my first time encountering data loss from a hard drive that decided to die out of the blue. Now I've completely lost all my collections of my old photos, Dong Bang videos, random files I've downloaded & wish to keep. T.T

All Shiny White Date Day 2

Saturday, August 29, 2009

It's the second day already! Time to accomplish the task of the day. So what's the mission?

MORE BRUSHING~


Yeah, of course. It's essential to keep our teeth clean & sparkling, preventing bad breath & cavities. Or else we'll end up frightening our dream guy away. No more white date then =(


P.S. I must be insane snapping a pic of myself brushing teeth in the bathroom =P

All Shiny White Date Day 1

Friday, August 28, 2009

Although the hype has started probably one-two months ago, I've decided that I didn't wanna be left out of the fun. And so I've embarked on a journey to tranform into a beautiful swan in 14 days; in preparation for the upcoming white date with my dream guy. It's not like I don't have one already but I WANT A WHITE DATE WITH WL!! =D

There are tasks to be completed each day throughout the 14 day duration in order to stand a chance to win attractive prizes. Sorry guys, this game is strictly for girls only as the grand prize is a designer handbag of our choice worth RM5,000. Unless you're planning to win it for your sweetie, it's unlikely that you'll participate cuz the activities are very female focused. ^^

Click on the thumbnail to start your journey now, girls~


My first task of the day is to virtually brush my teeth with Darlie's All Shiny White toothpaste for that extra sparkling whiteness.


Task 2 is easy-peasy-lemon-squeasy!

Due to restrictions, I was only allowed to send to 16 friends in my Facebook (you can play in either FB or the website). Hopefully they'll also join in the fun. Which gal would wanna miss the chance for such a gorgeous swag?

I've completed my tasks for Day 1. Incredibly easy~ Hehe. I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I'm given the next task in order to be in the running for the Grand Prize & also your dreamy white date. Stay tune!

Kissing under the (starry) night sky

I was out of office that day as part of my plan to clear some annual leave. On the other hand, WL was at work & wanting to see me - he asked me out for dinner. I agreed for I also mutually shared the same thought of wanting to see him so badly.

Towards the later evening, I sensed that he'd probably won't be able to make it...just like last time. A rush of disappointment overcame me no matter how hard I tried to control my emotions. My family was giving me a hard time at that moment made matters worse off. =(

Thankfully, WL came & took me out for a quick dinner. I wasn't in a good mood to begin with. But even then, WL tolerated & relied on his usual antics to cheer up the atmosphere. The restaurant we dined in, unfortunately, served pretty bad food coupled with poor service. Even the cheerful but tired from work WL couldn't hold on to his agitation with the unfriendly staff.

Nevertheless, our mood lighten up after dinner & as WL left for the washroom; I grabbed his car keys in which he left on the our table & slipped into my handbag. =P We left soon after he was out of the washroom - without me reminding him if he left anything. And he didn't seem to remember that he left something either - assuming that he had them all safely tucked in his pocket. How careless! Hehe.

As we approached the car at the outdoor carpark, he rummaged deep down his pockets & only to realise that the keys were missing. I stopped him before he could walk back in the direction of the restaurant & told him, "It's with me..." With that, he coiled his arms around my neck & playfully squeezed me for being such a naughty gal. I gingerly took out the keys & handed it to him. Upon taking it from me, WL grabbed me at the waist so quickly & pulled me close until our lips were inches close - whilst leaning on his car for support. My heart skipped a beat & without further a due, his lips touched mine.

I felt his warm breath tickled my cheeks as WL continued to hug me tightly as he moved on to a deep, passionate kiss. I responded to his deepening kiss & allowed myself to melt away like butter. Later we found out that someone was busy watching the entire scene. Though embarrassed, I pulled WL back into the car & continued smooching him for several minutes. I'd have to admit that this was the best kiss in my life. It's just like a scene out of a typical romantic comedy that I would watch on a lazy weekend afternoon. I think I'm even more in love with WL now...♥

Cookies galore

Monday, August 24, 2009

I spent the weekend putting my baking skills into practice. It wasn't my first time baking cookies. In fact, it's already my 3rd time baking - muffins was the 2nd thing i baked a couple of weeks back. Here's the result of my attempt in making the greatest pleasure snack in the world - chocolate chip cookies!


I suck at photography so this is the best I could come out with. Put aside the burned colour of the cookies due to an overheated oven, the recipe is almost perfect as the cookies is so fragrant & tasted buttery. A tad too sweet for my liking which is why I'm planning to reduce the white sugar drastically in the next round. Lesser sweetness allows room for additional chocolate chips. Yummy!

WL complimented that my baking skill has improved tremendously from the first time I baked shortbread cookies for his birthday. Indeed I was delighted & definitely striving to do better. Thanks my beloved "mice"~ *muacks* =)
