May 15 Pastels & Cream:
All things sweet.

My sister and I were chatting one day and we figured that this might be a good idea. Our website will be up soon.

Request Dazeree for: Cakes, cupcakes, and other sweet confectioneries.
Request Dierdre for: DIY stuff.
Other services: Event emcee and photographer.

Dazeree have done many orders since then, but this is my first product – Customized wedding invitation card. I’ve received one or two requests recently, but unfortunately I won’t be able to take any requests for the time being since I’ll be breaking my back for my own wedding. Will resume full-on in 2013! ㅅ.ㅅ

May 15 Beauty Bag:
Revlon & Kryolan

Hi, buttercups. One of the many things that you might not know about me is that I enjoy reading reviews about various beauty products, and of course trying them out. Once in a while, you can probably spot me in a cosmetic store somewhere, scanning a row of lipsticks and mascaras and still be there an hour later. What can I say, hey.. I’m a junkie! Since I’ve survived the risk of breakouts and skin allergies, I love to share my thoughts about some of my favourite products. So today, yours truly, fellow make-up enthusiast, is spending her time to review two of her recent obsessions:

Revlon’s ColorStay Foundation	Kryolan’s TV Paint Stick
My shade is 310 Warm Golden.	My shade is FS45.
Perfect for everyday, casual use.	Awesome for special occasions.
Gives me a natural coverage and lightweight feel that I love!	Gives me a flawless look and photographs nicely!
You’ll dig the semi-matte look.	You won’t get enough of the dewy look.
The longer it stays, the better the complexion as natural oil sets in.	A tad bit oily by the end of the day, but can simply be corrected with loose powder.
Very easy to get! (Available at Watsons ^^).	I can only get this online. Do tell me if you’re interested since my friend is a supplier! Visit Sinful Seduction for more info.
Price affordable!	Inexpensive!

My essentials.

I have naturally wavy, hence, coarse hair so it’s important for me to have this crowning glory less frizzy by at least 75% of the time. LOL.

Hair Care

I’ve been using Bio-essence since “Pine Pollen”, then “Tanaka White” and now “Bird’s Nest”, and it is just THE skincare product for me. I don’t dare to move to any other brands.

Skin and Eye Care

A Revlon girl, but I do purchase other cosmetics from different brands that are much cheaper. I prefer gel eyeliner and makeup remover in the form of cleansing wipes.

Makeup

Yes, I am obsessed with moisturizing creams and lotions and some of these I guess may be expired.

Moisturizers

And I ambil collagen kunun.. dui.

May 11 Footprints:
Battle of the crowns.

One of the most interesting things about Unduk Ngadau that I like to observe is the unspoken competition between districts when it comes to the prettiest crown. And by “crown”, I mean literally — the shiny bling on the winner’s head. Following the years, I see the Tuaran District Harvest Queens have always had, and I believe, will always have the most unique crowns among all other districts. I feel fortunate enough to possess one of these beautiful collections, but personally, I love love love the 2007 crown best!

2007 - Love the pearls!

My 1st short film.

LOL! This is my first attempt of a short film with my three students for a 4-day “Digital Storytelling Workshop” during Technorama-iT Fiesta for Beluran district organized by Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan Negeri Sabah. A 5-hour shoot with iPhone 4S and only 15 hours of editing with Ulead VideoStudio 11, hence, it is flawed! Helpful comments are very much appreciated since we need to re-film some scenes for the state level competition to happen in November. ㅅ.ㅅ Thanks!
