It's a cute song :)
One of my favorite Christmas Jingles :)
I wish Christmas came early this year.
Also, this reminds me of last year's Christmas and a really nice talk I had with someone.
Though I wish I was more honest with my answers.
Then maybe it would've been one less lonelyChristmas?
HAHA. Who am I kidding.
Being in a relationship is thefirst last thing on my mind :)
It's good to be single :)
But seriously though. Can Christmas be here already?
I want me some White Christmas now.
Can't wait!!! :)
So what are you guys' Christmas list this year? :) Care to share your wishes and wants? :) Have you been nice this year? :) Maybe Santa can grant some of those wishes? :)
I've been DYING (literally) to do this one since I dressed up for the Halloween thing at the club.
There was a Halloween party at the club that my friend has always been inviting us to. Since everyone was going, I decided to dress up and have some fun as well.
So, I went as:
This.
Excuse the sweaty face.
Oh dear.
This, my friends, is what happens at a club.
Don't be hating!
This Weekly Dress includes:
Top: Actually an old dress I got for my Freshman year Winter Formal (the earrings too!!)
and the skirt was on sale from Padini.
As for the make up, I was referencing this picture:
okay, so most of the make up faded throughout the night and
barely anyone was dressed up as a vampire.
No fangs, no creepy eyes but it was good enough! ;)
I mean, I did scare people unintentionally and got many stares on the metro and stuff.
(to read about how I did the make up, go all the way to the bottom of this post)
So,
A week has passed since I told you to clear out your closet. Now, as you all know, Halloween is in 3 days or 2.5 days for some of you.
As always, you're on a budget and I think it's always better to be using what you have and working with it.
So, what I would recommend is
First, pick a character you want to go in.
Let's say, you wanna go as a Greek Goddess. You obviously need a big white cloth to drape yourself in.
So, that would mean you have to either
BUY ONE(the cheapest one you can find)
OR
this one's quite simple...
USE YOUR BED SHEET!
Here is a video on how to do that:
I had to do this for an event on campus but because I had no white sheets, I had to improvise! :)
HEH. :)
It's all about improvising.
By the way, the tip from the video on using safety pins is quite crucial.
Alright, as mentioned above, I did my make up vampire style referencing that photo. READ RED if you're like me (only looking for keywords).
Things you will need:
Foundation and Face Powder
Black, Bronze, Dark Brown and light gold eye shadow
Black Pencil liner and (optional) Liquid liner
Thin brush if you have no liquid eyeliner
Mascara and eyelash curler
Red/nude lipstick, lip gloss (NOT GLITTERY) and lip brush
Blush Brush
Here are the steps I did to get the look (brushes optional but preferred):
1. I put on liquid foundation then I caked on compact face powder.
2. I applied aBronzebase color on my eyes from the bottom (closest to the lid)UP to where the eyebrows are. (you can choose shimmery or not. Note: NOT GLITTERY, but SHIMMERY)
3. Then I applied a darker brown color from a little away from the center of my eyes outwards (kind of like the picture below)
4. Then I took my BLACKeye shadow and applied it on the tip of my eyes (like how you would if you were creating a winged look) and flare it out. Like this but with EYE SHADOW:
5. Using the BLACKeye shadow, use the tip of your finger (the highest part of your finger if you're looking at your hand side ways) and creasing the arch on your eye (top of your eyeball) then BLEND in with your dark brown color.
6. Use your pencil eyeliner to draw over the eye shadow like the photo above (WITHOUT the wing) and draw the bottom part of your eyes as well. Color your waterline (the thin line thats kinda smooth and wet) and right beneath it where your eyelashes are.
7. Then, using your liquid eyeliner (but if you don't have one, get a thin brush and dip it in some water then onto your black eyeshadow) and draw the many lines that create the many lines outwards.
8. Curl your eyelashes and use mascara. (Watch video to learn how to make them POP)
9. Apply a VERY light gold just beneath the END your eyebrows (you'll feel a bone beneath your brows, yeah, there)
10. I used the remainder of my black eye shadowon my finger and drew a line on my cheekbone
see where the brush is? Draw it SLIGHTLY above the position of the brush.
Then using a blush brush, I smudged the eyeshadow downwards.
So where the line is, using your brush, you smudge it in a downward + circular motion
This creates a HIGH cheekbone effect/dead person/vampire look.
11. If you want pale lips, use nude lipstick. Cover your whole lip till you can't see the lines of your lips. If not, you can always use Red lipstick like I did after I realized no one was dressed like me.
12. To create the blood effect, I used my red lipstick and went over the outsides of my lips (ONLY ON THE SIDE) just a little over it and smudged it a little. Then, I drew a line downwards and making a little teardrop at the very end of the line. Then, applied gloss with my lip brush and gave it a glossy, watery look. I also used a thick blob of gloss on the teardrop to give it a dripping effect.
(OPTIONAL) 13. If you wanna do the crescent moon bite mark on wherever (neck, arm, thigh, wherever), use your pencil eyeliner to draw a crescent moon. Then, using your red lipstick, put on a few dots around the crescent moon, then smudge it to give it a dry blood look. Following that, if you wanna do the dripping blood, do the same as you did with the blood dripping from the lips. Make sure you're doing a VERTICAL line down or it'll be one of those failed attempts.
I hope this Weekly Dress was a good one, what with Halloween round the corner and all :)
So, as usual, yesterday, I got an email from Air Asia *click* and I saw this:
"Dear Kimberley,
Take photos with Sumo wrestlers in an onsen (hot springs) while you eat sushi! Sounds ridiculous? But we can make it happen! Just fly with us this coming year to Tokyo or Osaka from only RM199, isn't that sweet?"
Guess what happened next...
I JUMPED IN MY SEAT.
I literally did a mini freak out in my room, started silent squealing (to keep from waking my host mom). I got so excited, it made me feel better when I was having that not so very pleasant day.
Fingers crossed, we will be having my family bonding time in one of myFAVORITE♥ countries.
Please please please please please let us go there.
Mom and dad and Tristan, if you're reading this...
Mom and Dad, we go? :D
Tristan, BUG THEM HEHE :)
jk.
Not really ♥
Speaking of glorious Japan, guess who is there right now? :)
My beautiful friend from Vancouver, Canada...
Julia Zhang
Current location, Sapporo, Japan.
My baby girl is kicking ass, Vancouver style.
Stylist, beautiful, funny, smart, she blogs about her many adventures in Sapporo.

I've not stopped thinking about how people seem to enjoy picking on Kim.
Not in a bullying sort of way but more like the belief that I am incapable of defending myself.
Seriously. Just cause I usually don't have a say in a lot of things, don't mean I don't have an opinion of it.
Why I don't say it, reason is real simple. I simply don't wanna argue for the sake of arguing.
Really, when we argue, all you do is wanna be right. You're not arguing to find some sort of answer that both parties can agree on.
So, seriously, why argue?
Plus, if all you're saying is gonna hurt the other party, (when REALLY, the whole topic is NOT even about you) why, on earth are you even butting in? Accusing and pointing fingers when there really isn't anything there for you to start pointing fingers at me for.
Honestly. Just cause I choose to be silent about a lot of things, or if I don't speak up the way you do, doesn't mean you have to go aiming bullets at my face.
However, while I'm not so much annoyed at this, I'm quite confused. Confused as to why people are doing this to me. It is this confusion that is really getting on my nerves. The solution to this is driving me crazy.
Sigh.♥
But seriously, some of the things some people say can really burn. I guess I'll live with it. Sorry if I've hurt you I guess? But really, I don't get it, why you even wanna make it a big deal when you're really not involved.
My dear friend and fellow blogger Dila told me bout it the other day when she splurged RM200 on 4 pieces of not-so-intense outfits. But I decided to click on the website on my own tonight and see what they have in stall.
And seriously, if you buy me these clothes, I will MARRY YOU.
FIRST one that caught my eyes. OMG I'm in LOVE.
This color too!!!
GAH!!
Though I kinda wished it was slightly longer.
This one I like..
A LOT.
MORE LACE! :)
Can never have enough!!
Again, longer.
OMG this one.
Looove this color too.
Sure, the red is nice but I like this a lot better.
This, I don't mind though.
Absolutely loving the sweetheart neckline and mesh!
Okay, seriously now, I need to win that 500 pound thing plus the weekly win thing.
PLEASE ASOS, give me something. I'd love to have some of these dresses.
