oh me oh my.

I HAVE SINNED.

i bought a pair of shoes yesterday. and was tempted to buy another pair. but i didn’t get the latter pair. thing is, right now i’m regretting the first pair. i love it very much and all, but i realized it’s not really what i REALLY NEED at this moment in time. at this moment in time, i really need a comfortable pair of flats (which are not too flat) or a comfortable pair of heels. maybe wedges, or those not too tall. so i wouldn’t feel like i’m towering over everyone. not a great feeling yo.

i also bought a liquid eyeliner yesterday. i’ve always had faith in Revlon eyeliners. i’ve used their liquid eyeliner and (automatic) pencil eyeliner before, and both tend to smudge less throughout the day, compared to/with other brand eyeliners.

okay digressing, i said “compared to/with” because i can never remember which is for which purpose. i literally have to google it each time i need to use it in assignments. but right now… CBF.

back to topic at hand, okay so i purchased a..well, Revlon liquid eyeliner in a felt-tip applicator thingamajig. swatches were so awesome! literally lasts forever. okay just so you know what i’m talking about, here are some pictures:



the one i just bought!

the original liquid one.

the pencil one.

so i tried the new thingy out when i got home – okay it’s called Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen. but then i had to do some chores after. it lasts through sweaty chores yo! then i took a shower, having had to attend a family/church dinner and a little birthday gathering after (I LOVE YOU ERICA MAK). eyeliner on. for some reason there were smudges at the end of the..well, alco session. a little on the top and a little on the bottom. can’t say it was my mascara, it usually lasts longer than that. could be the eyeliner. then again, at that point i’ve had the eyeliner on for 6 hours when it started to show signs of smudging.

still, i was shocked to see smudges, because you know, liquid eyeliners shouldn’t. at least i don’t expect them to. the first Revlon liquid eyeliner i had lasted longer than that. then again application is easier with this felt-tip thingy. so…guess you can’t get the best of both worlds. the original one lasts forever but could be intimidating to use (since it’s the usual nylon brush), this felt-tip one is so easy to use but doesn’t last as long, but while it lasts it looks so awesome – perfectly defined, and a very intense black! but it definitely lasts longer than the pencil one, i must say.

in a nutshell, i think this eyeliner’s great for those wanting to switch from pencil/kohl to liquid eyeliners. the applicator is quite amazing! compared to/with other brands. some of them are either too watery, taking forever to dry. others have tips that are too soft, making it easier to make mistakes. that sucks yo.

so yeah. the only complaint i have is that it doesn’t last more than 6 hours or so. but since it looks amazing while it lasts, i can’t really say much. at only RM35… <3

p.s. i’ll further update if i change my mind about this eyeliner.

p.p.s. really wanted to post a picture of the shoes i bought, but i can’t seem to find it on the brand’s website. it must be that out of season! shall post it if i do wear ‘em and happen to take a picture. meanwhile, i really do need to shop. while we’re at it, i also really need funds. WHAII =S

the art of jazz.

hello world!

okay first of all, it HAS been a while hasn’t it?

second of all, hOMG hOMG i’m so amazed at how awesomely the embedded video fits on this posts bar! either the designer of my layout/skin is that awesome, or youtube just has an amazing collaboration with wordpress. WORDPRESS FTW!

okay just go clarify, hOMG means h-OMG! like. how some ppl say “hokay” or something. so it doesn’t denote homogeneous groups or homogeneity of variance or whatever. okay maybe that’s just how it looks like to me. okay i just finished an econometrics paper, so. heh. hOMG my exams are over!

in any case, back to topic at hand. i’m posting this as a.. sorta like a motivation, force-myself-to-achieve-it kinda thingy. i don’t fancy this particular cover per se, makes me feel like the essence of the song has disappeared into the sea of jazzy awesomeness. nevertheless, i’m totally loving the jazz piano skills.

okay pardon my bad blogging language, it’s really been a while. screw trying to sound sophisticated and deep for now. not that i’ve had that much success anyway -_-

but! my point is, i shall attempt to incorporate at least a small portion of this jazzy essence into..whatever it is i do. i don’t know what it’s called. some label it as “goreng”, but i personally don’t fancy that term. at all.

hmph. well, what else is new with me? i’ve just finished my papers! okay i’ve mentioned that. but still. woot! call me up for drinks? :)

while we’re at it, let’s (awesomely) embed more videos, hokay? hOMG, i still canNOT get over the awesome fit.

and if you like her, she makes awesome originals too!

also, isn’t she plain beautiful? she totally is.

okay. stay tuned for more of my fav videos!

p.s. maybe it’s high time i get a youtube account….. to actually favourite such videos :)
