Beauty Haul+Review

Fulfilling my promise to you guys about some haul I got yeah! I decided to kind of introduce some of the things I got from all my previous trips slowly since using them from several months to a couple years now, I can finally attest to their use and hence I will put in bit by bit so bear with me. With that said lets start with the beginning of my current skincare routine: Fresh Rose Cleansing Foam Starting with the cleansing of the face, I'm not going to lie but ever since Sephora open up here in KK, I have made quite a few splurges since I finished my cleanser and toner that I usually buy from my facialist/esthetician. However her stuff are uber expensive and not really in stores anywhere else. Hence determined to find a cheaper alternative, I was more than excited to venture into what the sales associates (Fun fact: they are actually called "cast members" and the sales floor are the "stage") would recommend. I always went for as natural as I could aff...

Tune Favourites

Hey guys. Just a quick correction from my previous post, its not mist, its a haze. Thanks to my ever loving brother for pointing it out. If there is something wrong with my post for me to check out, really feel free to comment on it! So as I said, lately its been a very laidback weather here and these are the songs that carried me through it. I might not be able to list all but just click here and you can find the rest on my SoundCloud. It's been awhile since the last Tune Favourite  and that means I've been listening a ton. 1. "Here" by Alessia Cara (Lucian Remix) This has been basically the soundtrack for my August and even now I can't but be so floored by this singer's voice. I discovered her from a youtuber I follow and never regretted the decision to subscribe to her Vevo channel. While the original is the stuff, I love how it was remix here and every decision made to create it is so spot on. Do check out her other singles like "I...

Updates

Hi everyone, it's been awhile I know. I am currently in the middle of my trials and we have a day off tomorrow before we finish up another two days of test so I thought I just do some speedy typing and let you all know what's been up in my life. In case you didn't know, places like Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and others are currently weighted in mist and hence they are force to close down schools and the radio is going off about taking precautions as this phenomenon is detrimental to our health. Here in Sabah however seems mostly unaffected though the mountains are a lot harder to spot with a veil of fog or mist. I'm not too sure. Hence days lately seems cool and hardly sunny, in other words it is almost the "perfect nap time" weather here.  For the past month, I've have spent a lot of time meeting friends and new people before my trials. Especially they all came back because they had school break and it was really good to catch up over a meal or a m...

College: The Survival of You

Hi guys, this is my second post to the college collab I'm doing with Denise so be sure to check her out too and lets get this started: 1# It's fine to not be fine I am naturally a more laid back person than hard working. Particularly because I was encouraged a lot to work hard at my studies and being a person who lets reverse psychology work on her, I tend to not heed that advice. This in turn was responded with more severe pressure and nagging that I could not deal and it made me sick and anxious and at one point pretty depress in the worse way. Now with going through a transition where I bear more responsibilities, I find myself really beating myself up. If anything college, pre-uni or university teaches you, its that you'll definitely meet people who are way better than you at the start of your first semester. You may have been top whatever in your high school but its another story in tertiary studies. So it really brought me down when I find I was no where clos...

Love from a stapler to a sneaker

You would never stay in one place You seem to always have a purpose A destination to be at The disappearing act is your signature exit Others may say because of your name  and what you do You would sneak out with my heart Breeze past me before I even realize it was gone   But they didn't know that I would have taken bullets for you When you came home with signs of Life's tears, I could mend them back People usually come to me only when they need me to put things together but babe for you, I wouldn't mind anytime If you would allow me a hollow space, I would fit into it with no problems and make it feel like home there so you can always have home   Because they didn't know that while you came back worn and stained, while you show them off like medals for overcoming the obstacles, you never did it for the destination you did it for the journey.   And journeys can get lonely Journeys can cause friction to the sole But I got that cool touc...

College Looks

In collaboration with my girl, Denise, from Down The Yellow Brick  , we're a college theme posts so look out for them. We are revving to blog and we hope you enjoy them despite being so off the radar due to life and school. But let's get started. To be specific, I take A-level Science here in Kota Kinabalu and we have to wear a school shirt as a uniform. Aside from that though their is very free rein on pants and clothes. Its not really college per say but its still considered Pre-University so I still understand what kind of clothes you needed to get through the semester. Though the outfits you see here aren't my daily wear to school but I got some approvals from friends who go to college and managed to style up some looks based on general dress codes you may face at your college or university. Hence it's all very doable. This would be my first outfit post so I'm a complete amateur at this and at being the model for once as I don't feel I am at all photogen...

Voice

If a boy can cry wolf, could he not cry rape? Do you give fake hopes as high as the heels she wears for you? Could you not be there for when your parents fall because of their ailing bodies just as they were there for you when yours fail? "Are you sure he err...assaulted you? (You're a man for chrissake)" "Well he did sound like he goes around , I mean you should have known better.(Get over it geez)" "Oh you know them these days. All about their career and their wives and their nose-picking children. (He'll visit I'm sure, you're worrying too much)." I can't bring myself near that alleyway anymore. I can still hear his voice whenever I do. No, I wasn't just assaulted. Why why WHY can't you see that I am  fighting back? Known better ? How? In his smile when he looks at me? When he murmurs to me that I am his "one and only"? Was it when we exchanged promises one night? Tell me how could  have I known?...
