Being 20

Haha yes, I'm getting old...I celebrated my big 2-0 yesterday!!!
I wana thank my family and friends for celebrating with me on separate occasions!!
It was very thoughtful of all of you to remember my birthday with the overwhelming wishes and presents =))

Many thanks to those who made my day extra special 

XOXO

I'm like a bird.......

Haha literally, I do feel like a bird! No more exams, no more books, just me with sleep, shopping and more shopping hehe!

Anyway, I just want to share my craze about the new shatter/crackle polish!! I'm sure many of you know about it already but what the hell =p
I luuuurve nail polish so much and when the O.P.I shatter came out, I went totally crazy! It's soooo beautiful!!

It first started with the black shatter, then it came out with the silver, red and many others.
So far, after reading many reviews and pictures, I find the black shatter the most effective one. Because it's black, it blends with any colour very well unlike the other shatters, and it seems the black one cracks the best.

I wanted to buy it but not many stores sell O.P.I polish.

The Navy Shatter comes a close second...

China Glaze Crackle is also another kind. The Black Mesh is my favourite hehe
It has the same effect as well.

I have pre-ordered the CG Black Mesh! Can't wait for it to arrive!!! =))

We have a winner!!!

Scotty McCreery is American Idol Season 10 Winner!!!!

He's such a nice guy with good moral values and ethics, not to mention a devout Christian =)

Congratulations!!! I think he has a very unique voice!

What I love about the results show is that it's a star studded event. I especially loved Steven Tyler's performance...He's such an awesome guy!!

Carrie Underwood performed as well with Lauren in her white cute shorts =) So pretty!

I missed most of the performances but will try to catch at repeat.

AI final two

Do not miss out to see the final two of AI Season 10 perform their very last on the Idol stage to be crowned American Idol Season 10 winner!

It will be aired this evening at 6pm and 8pm on Star World. The grand finale results will be aired tomorrow!

Who will win???

YUCK!!

Can anybody tell me what's worst than taking a course of antibiotics??
Anybody?

I know, those medicines are in capsule forms but the smell still lingers and it's a super bitter kind of smell -.-
Especially after a slight burp, that smell comes out....EWWWW!!

It's like opening the capsules and eating the powder inside...I feel like that whenever I smell the awful antibiotics XD

On top of that, you have to finish the whole course of antibiotics for freaking three days and it's three times a day. That's like 18 capsules -.-

Bottom line: Do NOT ever get sick. EVER.

Billboard Music Awards 2011

The Billboard Music Awards 2011 took place in Las Vegas last night...
These are the arrival pictures:

Two members of the B.E.P- Fergie and Taboo looking very matchy

Ke$ha- so annoyed with that hair

Matthew Morrison from Glee looking fab as always =)

Rihanna in a white lady tux. If her hair was blonde, she would be camouflaged as the background XD

Loving Kelly Rowland's sexy pink dress! She has a rockin' body!

Best dressed of the night has two contenders:

Selena Gomez looking absolutely chic and sassy in this cut out black dress!

Taylor Swift looking demure in her signature shimmer gown!

Final two

Well, these are the final two contestants of American Idol Season 10!!

Lauren and Scotty!! 

Urgh...Another of my fave, Haley got voted out last night =(((

 

Haley(left) who has a husky and unique voice got the boot XD
I really loved her rendition of Benny and the Jets. She sang that song again for her final farewell...
She's such a great performer, with that big smile of hers but she was a good sport. She did not cry much and she sang her heart out for the final song!

As she said, this is not the end, only the beginning. I think she'll do great after AI =)

Yesterday's show was really touching with the final three getting their homecomings in their hometown and how overwhelmed were they to see thousands of their fans gathered just to catch a glimpse of them. It was really moving!

Now, for the finale, that would be star studded and full of surprises!! Too bad I have my ongoing exams but I won't miss the repeats...

I don't want to have any more favourites because all of them got voted out =(
It's the battle of the teens- the youngest final two in the history of AI!
Would it be the deep voiced country singer Scotty or the sweet Lauren with a great voice?
We'll just see who will be crowned American Idol for Season 10!

Jumpsuits!

Jumpsuits are so in these days....When you flip open a fashion mag, you will definitely spot jumpsuits in the fashion pages, be it on runways or red carpets!

I don't know why but I have mixed feelings about this newest trend. I'm not much of a fan of it and I would probably NOT wear it ever because it just doesn't suit my style but sometimes it does look nice on certain people. It also depends on the event you're wearing it to.

There are long and short styles and many celebrities are donning the jumpsuit style...

Loving Blake Lively's(centre) short jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are flowy and very comfortable and that's why many choose to wear them.

This trend came from those mechanics you see wearing the jumpsuits while repairing your cars *laughs*

Now, it has become a fashion statement. It's actually a comeback style as it was popular during those days.

Yay? Nay?

BB cream

There's like a craze of BB cream nowadays. Be it in advertisements, in pharmacies and everywhere mostly people are using BB cream!!

BB cream actually stands for Blemish Balm cream. It's like an all in one cream- meaning it has moisturiser, sunblock, foundation, has brightening effect, covers imperfections and many more!!

Each and every brand has their own BB creams.

Silkygirl

Estee Lauder

Lancome

Clinique

Kate

Dior

Maybelline

I have not tried other brands but I have tried the Maybelline 8-in-1 BB cream.

I think it's not too thick which was what I was worried about because having 8-in-1, I thought it'll be really thick and patchy. But it turned out to be just the right texture!

After applying, it really smoothens out your complexion and it feels like there's no makeup on! I'm very happy with the result =))

Are you in the craze of BB creams as well??

Happy Mother's Day!!

To all mothers out there, wishing you a wonderful day with your children on this special Mother's Day!
I love this quote I just heard today...
All mothers have the same menu on their plates, "Take it or leave it!" =))

Me and my mummy are inseparable and I'm the most spoilt child of my parents hehe
This day is especially dedicated to you, mummy!! *loves*
You're irreplaceable!

Gossip Girl

Have you watched the latest Gossip Girl? The episode is titled The Princesses and the frog.
I'm starting to get pissed with the writers for ruining GG characters!! XD

I'll try my best not to give out any spoilers but.....I hated this episode for many reasons!
Firstly, didn't they already ruin Chuck Bass in previous seasons when he slept with Jenny, or when he traded Blair for his hotel or when he was being such an ass to everyone???? Now, they have to make his character even worst and by now, I feel he's left little for redemption!
Worst still, I ship Chair -.-
I don't know if there's any future for them =(((

          Is there anything bad Chuck Bass is NOT capable of doing?

Further, if they are going to make Vanessa so useless, might as well write her off the show! Why waste screen time when they can focus more on the core characters?

I really hope the writers redeem themselves for next week's episode and the finale of this season! I don't want to be left heartbroken when they go on hiatus LOLZ

If only every show is like The Vampire Diaries where it's so full of awesome surprises...

Biore UV aqua rich

Did you know that Biore is the No.1 sunblock brand in Japan?
I like the new UV aqua rich sunblock- it's really good! It has a water-like sensation and not sticky or too patchy.
I have a number of 'aqua' products and this is one of it!! I tend to get attracted to aqua products because it makes your skin hydrated all day long.

Besides, it has a very high SPF with 50+ SPF which protects your skin from UV rays.
It is very recommended and it keeps my skin fresh and hydrated all day!

Kao beauty care roadshow!

I blogged about the Kao roadshow here: Kao
So I went to check it out!!

Highlights of the event:
- Had a free hair analysis done
- Got to try all the hair and skincare products then decide which is most suitable to buy
- So many samples to take home
- I'm a Watsons member so I got extra 200 points for my purchase
- I bought RM60 worth of products therefore entitling me to the Spin & Win and won awesome products!!

Those were what I bought. I bought the Asience Shine Therapy treatment. It's like a hair mask to be used after conditioning. Smells nice! Can't wait to use it hehe

The centre one is a hair cocktail(no kidding) from Liese...It's a moisturising serum with a nice peachy scent. I tried it there and loved it so decided to buy =p

The last one is Biore makeup remover. It removes makeup instantly and very effective.

The roadshow only promotes three brands and I bought one of each brand haha Very satisfied with my buys!

I got all of the above free!! Got some from samples and some from the Spin & Win =)
Did you visit the roadshow??

Paul Wesley is off the market!

Well, not only my Prince Charming, ehem, Prince William is off the market, Paul Wesley is too XD
Soon all the eligible bachelors will be getting married =((

If you don't already know him, he is the better half of the vampire brothers in The Vampire Diaries.

Anyway, Paul Wesley married his girlfriend of three years, Torrey Devito who stars in Pretty Little Liars. Both TV stars married in a small private ceremony. What a good time to hide behind the grand royal wedding LOL

                                                                Congrats!!
