Oh no...

Didn't do well in exam today... DAV... Why was it so tough? The questions were out of syllabus :( I swear...
The mark allocation was stupid too... 20 marks for something with just a few points?
I'm so worried that I might fail..... Awwwww I want my happy holiday...
On a bright side, 1 more exam to go! :D and 2 assignments... :(

Nature Republic Blemish Lab AC Control Essence Review

Nature Republic is a korean skin care line which introduces products that use natural ingredients all around the world. Since many of Asian babes wonders about this skin care line I'm gonna do a review about one of their products which I began to use one week ago.

Nature Republic's Blemish Lab AC Control Essence, which I was told to use it as a moisturizer, costs around RM50 in Malaysia for 40ML. The packaging of it is quite classy since the tube is made of glass and purple in color (my new favourite color!) *love*

I couldn't read the korean description on the package but apparently this is recommended for trouble skin e.g acne-prone skin. The sales assistant assured me that this essence works fine on acne-prone skin and was formulated with natural ingredients (e.g. Ylang Ylang, Lavender, etc) so I decided to give it a try :) It also has a pleasant scent I was worried that it was artificial fragrance but once again the SA told me it was natural fragrance.

Back to the review of the actual product, I'm quite satisfied with this little bottle of essence. It leaves my skin soft, cool, hydrated and best of all it doesn't cause me any breakouts :) Extremely safe for acne-prone skin. Overall I rate it 4 stars out of 5 stars :D

In fact I'd been using Clinique Anti-Blemish moisturizer which had done a good job on my skin too but it was too pricey! Some US/UK skin care are always more expensive in Malaysia. This Nature Republic Essence can do the same job with half the price, so which one do you think it is more pocket-friendly?

ps: Recently I think that I should just stick back to Asian (Jap/Korea) skin care line (good quality one) since the Western skin care might not be suitable for Asia skin, furthermore Asian skin cares are much cheaper! What do ya think? :)

Birthday Wish List 2010

[CARRIE'S BDAY WISH LIST 2010]
I'm NOT posting this because I want/expect something specially from anyone, just a reference for ya if you wanna buy me something for my coming bday but you don't know what to buy :)

But anyway I love surprises!

Egyptian Magic Cream

Aloha! It's been a while! :D

I feel the blogging mood is back in a sudden! Anyway something to share today!

Purchased a multipurpose-cream named Egyptian Magic Cream from Princess_Autumn at Lowyat Forum (view the thread here). I love her so much she's such a friendly person and she never let her customers wait for too long. Bought a 10g sample from her, which costs RM26 including postage. The parcel arrived today and it came with a mini container and spatula too! This 10g sample is in a soft plastic tube and I guess this is why she gave me a mini container :)

And guess what? I got a free gift too! Osory toner! (It's a korean skincare product)

Back to the cream. I have yet tried it on my face since I plan to apply it before I sleep. I tried it on my lips and it was so moisturizing! *thumbs up* Slightly better than some drugstore products.

EMC can be used on face, skin, lips, and even hair! It is also proved to heal scars and redness. Well, let's see does the magic work!

Will be back for more review, I wish :P

Find me elsewhere

Imma so addicted to Twitter and Tumblr lately since they provide easier access through application on my BlackBerry. I'm so bored of logging into my blogger, then click the 'new post' icon and type on this same piece of 2D text box. (As you can see I'm BlackBerry addicted recently :P)

Fairytale Again.

Holla I'm back :D Suddenly got the mood of blogging, wanna update some amazing photos taken yesterday when I was having tea with Edward, Janice and Fumi.

So basically Fumi's Canon (EOS 500D I guess?) has got this special function where you set it in a mode of capturing light motion in 10 seconds time. The way you move your light around will turn into some ray like this:

Fumi was drawing a heart shape using Edward's phone flash light.

Touching an alien - a hunged alien. lol

Butterfly fly fly fly to me.

The camera was trembled, so my face was blurred.

You couldn't see Fumi drawing behind coz he was moving around.

Virtual Butterfly comes to life.

I love the background :)

@ Sentul Nailis Cafe.

Someone get rid of that glass of water pls!

The colors are just nice and gorgeous. I'd changed my mind not to buy compact digital cameras but this kind of intermediate level cameras:)

Gonna continue with my idea of Creativity and Innovation assignment.

xoxo,

Carrie.Y.

Today was a Fairytale.

It's Sunday night :D I love Sunday! though I spent this Sunday doing assignment.

Finally one assignment is down! Now I have got to focus on another assignment dues on 12th April.

Photos taken recently:

he looks muscular isn't he?

ps: looks can be deceiving :P

Fidel on my lap! He's so cute and small!

Sleeping on my lap :)

ps: That's Shima's cat - Jafar's blanket. LOL.

love it!

xoxo,

Carrie.

Che tori

Have been learning some basic Persian language from my friends from Iran recently :) adapting to a new language is always fun and it often needs a lot of practise before you can master it.
My title 'che tori' is actually means 'how are you'.
I'm watching Edward swimming now at his condo. Man he always wants to swim. I do enjoy swimming too but I don't enjoy getting my hair wet. Haha anyway I should be doing my assignment now but I'm feeding my fresh blood to those mosquitoes.

Yesterday was April's Fool but I did not prank anyone. Me and Edward went mid valley to watch 'How to Train Your Dragon' and believe me it's an awesome animation :)

I bought Lady Gaga's Viva Glam GAGA lipstick! Had been waiting for it since February and yesterday was the first day it's been launched in Malaysia :D

Going home now, bye <3

So what's new? Ms. Carrie Yee has officially became a user of Celcom's BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS), indicates that I can go online all all all the time with my BlackBerry! I seriously feel that my BlackBerry's strength is 100% unleashed by this BIS, most of the applications have appeared to be usable now and let alone connect to the wifi service :P but not to mention the daily fee behind this glory :'(

One of my dear Persian friends, Shima has invited me over to her condo next week :) Can't wait for it, but I wish I had amnesia, because I still have ton of assignments waiting ahead.

Arrghh so this is Carrie - being caught playing games (actually Facebook and Twitter) in the class.

Hey we have classes every single day what's wrong with playing some games to relax? :P haha so you could see this is how BIS affect me, I log on to my Twitter almost every hour.

Ima going to lowyat tomorrow :) Nites!

will you still love me tomorrow

Arr I feel so guilty, and ashamed of being a little monster, I haven't really continued my Lady Gaga fanart. Seriously I'm going lunatic after her on every time I see her live on Youtube. She has got paroxysm of talents and endless different appearances on her show, she always tend to look different, very different. /end lady gaga's story.

So this is how I have started to love monochromatic photography. I always used to think black-and-white photo tells a very tragic story, the tones of gray, just make me sad.

Seeing myself in the black-and-white photos was like telling myself I could never go back to the past. What you see in the photo now is you - who never going to be the same like now.

Aww it was when and where Fumi started singing 'Paparazzi'.

I love my eyes, they are so intense.

To my baby dear who always complains he'll never look good in any photos:

You look really fine!

My smile is just too charming,

he couldn't resist and started to feel the pain.

I just won't win this game, neither physically nor virtually on iPhone.

You could tell who was the winner from the gestures. LOL

K-Kinda Busy

It's been awhile... only AWHILE k... I think my last post was not long ago. Had been working on the assignment during weekends and thankfully (to myself) my part is done :) Now I only have surveying part left in the assignment. Joy joy joy.

And this is what I'm working on my Photoshop since yesterday. Pardon me due to my scarcely sense and skill of art, it's only 20% done.

It's GAGA!

Let's Have Some Fun

Now it takes me 3 hours to update my blog. Comments are ON :) !

Basically I just sketched anything that reached my heart at the moment. Some are feelings, some are incidents happened today in my life, some are flashing thoughts.

Enjoy :)

Graphic Entry - Count 1 !

Haven't touched my Wacom tablet in a while and I found he was kind of strange to me. LOL. I made it! Spent hours drawing and painting these. Wish you experience better on reading my blog ;)

This is not illustrated by me. This was a photo with template picture taken at Petrosains KLCC.

Some Kind of Wonderful

My recent posts are all about cosmetics and skin care don't ya think. I think I'm kind of omnidirectional, I love almost everything surrounding us. One period I was obsessed with animations and comics, another time I was so keen about graphics or drawing, there were some time I love to read magazines about make up and skin care, and quite oftenly I discuss about gadgets, and I just bought Lady Gaga album and a few movie dvds coz I have a thought that we should always support the originals. They have made my life wonderful and polychrome haven't them?

Quick updates:
1. Having Malaysian Studies exam this Saturday, and Moral Studies on the next Saturday.
2. Skipped classes today and went R2 reading cafe instead.
3. Plan to register a blog at WordPress.com however I have no idea about my blog domain name.
4. Has reserved a Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick from M.A.C store, it will soon arrive in April.
5. Going to perm my hair next week ^^ Straight or wavy?
6. Plan to get myself a pin board in my room.
7. I have stopped using BB cream! Instead I use Clinique Superfit Make Up as my daily foundation due to its smoothness and oil-absorbing function :) It has the thinnest texture apparently.

I want your love 2.17.2010

Our belated Valentine's Day was really sweet, but I made my dear spent his wallet that day :'(

Celebrated V-Day with Edward at KLCC yesterday.
This photo was taken at PetroSains.

Edward gave to me as V-day present :D
The texture is smooth and thin, with moderate level of coverage.
My skin looks like it glows with radiance after applying this foundation.

I got so many free gifts from Clinique!
Bought Clinique SuperFit Liquid Foundation, Anti-Blemish Solutions Toner, and got free gifts like pressed powder, nature color lip gloss, make up brush, blusher + eyeshadow set and 2 eye cooling pads!

I wish I had more holidays :'D
Will post more when I have more time.

Oh My Romance

I wanted to post some picture up but sadly I could not find a suitable one. It's bored to read a lengthy diary with hundreds of words, moreover it's not your diary. So I have an idea about sketching out what I wanna tell in my blog in pictures. It would be more interesting than reading :) but sometime I think no one would care about it. So let alone do it, and let's leave it aside.

So my first and second day of Chinese New Year was about yawning and having 'sauna' at my home and other people's home. Finally there's something I can get excited about! Me going out with Edwarddddddddd tomorrow :D to Suria KLCC. Hope it will be abundance of loves and funs in the air tomorrow like we seen each other today.

Ooh ooh I guess I shall head off to sleep now :D Happy Chinese New Year to all of you.
Ps: According to a research conducted and observed by Facebook recently, people who are in a relationship are happier and spread more positive word in their status updates than those who're not in a relationship/ in an open relationship. It's not difficult to understand right? Meow ima heading off to sleep!

Loves,
Carrie.

Viva Glam GAGA

Finally there's something that inspire me intensely to come all the way long and update my blog!
As you could tell easily from my blog title, this limited edition lipstick is named after my brilliant celebrity - Lady Gaga. I'm so excited! Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper team up with MAC AIDS Fund's VIVA Glam campaign, every cent that raised through the purchase of Viva Glam Lipstick will donate to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. This is a campaign to raise the awareness of AIDS/HIV in women, can you see how meaningful and great is this? To us women? When I was young and got to know about what is AIDS, I'd been worried that I might fall to be one of the victims accidentally.

"We want women to feel strong and enough that they can remember to protect themselves. To have this lipstick as a reminder in your purse, that when your man is laying naked in bed, you go into the bathroom, you put your lipstick on, and you bring a condom out with you," Gaga said.

I know I'm not really into the lipstick business as I rarely apply lipsticks, most of the time I was using lip gloss. In fact, kissing on my boyfriend's cheek with lip gloss-ed lips aren't really comfortable. And do mind the fact that I really love kissing my boyfriends on his cheek. Ha Ha.

Hopefully Viva Glam Gaga will be launched in Malaysia! I'd always wanted some MAC Cosmetics, yet a MAC lipsticks might be the last item in my wish-to-buy list, to me lipsticks are least preferred. Maybe I should check out the MAC Store at KLCC tomorrow? :)

Anyway in case that I might be missing in action these days, Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day in advance!

xoxo.

say my name, say my name

Everything was perfect until the Network Security lecturer decided to reassign the teammate of our group assignment. I'm having this module which has established a ridiculous rule states that each group must consist of teammate from at least two different countries. So despite how absurd we think the rule is, me and three Iranian classmates have formed into a group.

Our lecturer did not plan to reassign the team member for no reasons, sadly some black sheep made her do so. They ignored the lecturer and formed into groups with themselves, which are all Malaysians. *phew* I guess I just have to stop talking about it, it spoiled my mood today.

It seems to be a fact that my one and only brother is going UK to further his master studies. I will miss him much as we are really close to each other since we were young.

I dyed my hair to dark brown few days ago, but it was not successful I should had chosen a brighter brown since my hair is quite dark, however my mom needs to get a darker color since she has white hairs. She promised to dye for me once again before chinese new year :)

Watched Grammy Award on Astro yesterday, was so disappointed that I missed out the first hour due to some complication, and missed the chance to see Lady Gaga received her awards.
tthh.. seriously not in the right mood to college. Anyway I'm going Penang this Friday :D

In your tight jeans with your long hair

"I can't believe how you looked at me
With your James Dean Glossy Eyes
In your tight jeans with your long hair
And your cigarette stained lines"

Incredibly love this part from Lady Gaga's Speechless, doesn't he sound like a fictional character from romance novel? Tight jeans + long hair + muscular body = woooot! Who's James Dean by the way? I google-ed it and found that he was an american film actor, died at the age of 24 :|

More than 100,000 people on Facebook have declared yesterday as National Lady Gaga Day! How impressive! On National Lady Gaga people seize the opportunity to imitate Lady Gaga by dressing like her, sing, dance, have theme parties and celebrate.

i'm still breathing

Here I am with some update!
I'm addicted to one of the 3rd party application on my BlackBerry, Viigo. Viigo is a free software application for your Smartphone giving you access to News, Sports, Weather, Facebook, The Web. Pardon me, I just copied the definition from Viigo official site, does it considered as plagiarizing?

This week is the last week of Malaysian Studies and Moral Studies module, which indicating that I don't have to wake up in the early morning on Saturday anymore! (except for shoppings, tee-hee). Anyhow I still have to work on the assignments and submit them before this Friday.

Here are some to-dos :
1. Work on Malaysian Studies' assignment titled 'Divorce'.(done!)
2. Dye my hair to medium brown.
3. Replace my SimCard, apparently it makes my BlackBerry application not functioning over Wi-Fi.
4. Apply my Clinique Anti-Blemish mask at least twice a week (which I always forgot)
5.Get more free application for my BlackBerry.
6.Get some gold accessories! (I haven't got any gold accessories yet sadly)
7.Buy Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl.

Notes to myself all the time:
1. Always take stairs instead of elevators.
2. Read more news instead of fictions and Facebook.
3. Spend maximum 30 minutes a day on Facebook.
4. Google more, explore more, learn more and do more.
5. Love yourself.

Monday Blue Blue Blue.

I really feel sorry for my idleness lately, just did not get the blogging mood to cross over. In fact I actually feel more enjoyable to read others' blogs rather than posting something new on mine. ;)


So I came out a solution by changing my blog template and some font and background color, maybe no one would notice the difference, lol. 


Perhaps I'm really not in a good condition to blog right now as I wanted to confess something here but I couldn't find the words in my mind, 'cliche', you may say that. 


Going MidValley with Edward later for a movie, a breakout for both of us. Okay, maybe it's just him. ha ha. But I don't see the point not to enjoy a fabulous movie with your beloved one when he's blue. (What am I, yellow?) Hope we get the seats for 7p.m.'s Sherlock Holmes.
Best wishes to my friends, especially those who certainly need some cheer. 
Bye. Will blog more I promise!
xoxo, Carrie.

New Day :)

Today's my first day back to college after a long holiday. Bumped into my previous semester's lecturer and he asked me how was my holiday, my mind gone blank for a while and I was glad that I managed to reply him "Good, was teaching in a tuition center". I couldn't help asking myself after he disappeared, "Was teaching in a tution center everything I could remember? No more? Maybe to me it was the most meaningful thing I'd done in my semester break, though it was only a week. I still remember their adorable faces vividly as the last time I saw them was on Friday.

On earth why my BlackBerry is having slow web browsing in UCTI?

Happy First Day Class :D
