Can Christmas Come Early Please?

So, my iTunes is acting all weird and has played this song a couple of times.


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 lonely Christmas?
HAHA. Who am I kidding. 
Being in a relationship is the first 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? :)

Not To Be Weird.. But...

WATCH IT.you know you want to


I mean, seriously. A bunch of Japanese boys in the nude, making some dance out of it?

Okay. Really. How can you say no?

HAHA. No, but seriously. It is quite interesting to see the reaction of everyone.

Plus, it makes you feel so much better if you're having a shitty as day :)

ENJOY!

Weekly Dress: New Outfit, Old Clothes

Okay.

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 a Bronze base 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 BLACK eye 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 BLACK eye 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 shadow on 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 :)

Love love, Kim.

The Love of My Life

Did you know...?

That I've had the biggest crush on T.O.P since I learnt about Bigbang when I was like 17?

Why?
He's sexy. And by sexy, I mean, that deep, beautiful voice plus the fact that he raps.
Those beautiful eyes. Intense, powerful.
That body. OHMAIGAAAD. Sexy as hell.


I mean, seriously.
Did this video make you wanna take of your clothes or what?


Kay, now that you're done with that video... Let's move on to the next ;)


this is the whole crew of Bigbang. Watch. 
You'll see T.O.P's beautiful smile. 
Dear God. When that boy smiles, he's like DROP DEAD.

Do I See Kimonos?

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 my FAVORITE ♥ 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

Through Econ Classes and Family Gatherings, I Love You Both

Today marks a real special day.

Today is the day when one of my oldest cousins, Elizabeth Wong, was born. 


She's one beautiful, smart, awesome geologist of a cousin. 
Always seen seated with a book in hand, 
she's gone out to achieve huge things :)

Another very special person was also born on this very day.
It is none other than the Barbra Streisand loving...


Victor Lee Chia Ming

It's been, what, 3 years? :)
He's been a super additional to my econ classes.
Always so fun to be around.
Always so filled with love :)
I miss you loads dear! :)

Meanwhile...On the side lines..


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.
