They followed my instruction to put ‘FRAGILE‘ on it, which is good The box arrived in perfect condition. I was scared to order at first since this is my first time ordering from them but since they have the cheapest option for shipping, I decided to gamble and order anyway.

It was surprisingly fast! The shipping cost USD$9.99 using USPS First Class International Mail and shipped from Denver, Colorado. Now from all the orders I had with amazon.om, normal standard international shipping usually would take 2 weeks. So I didn’t expect this order would come in less than a week. I have been searching for a place to buy Ben Nye Neutral Set Colorless Face Powder for a long time. I’m running out of the powder so I’ve been desperate.

This powder, to me, is THE BEST setting powder ever. If you don’t know Ben Nye, it’s a brand that focus on special effects and theatrical makeup so of course when you perform under harsh lights, you would get all sweaty. The best thing about this setting powder is that it has antiperspirant. It protects your makeup from melting when you sweat! I have had makeups on for a whole day and before I found out about this powder, my makeup would melt and become cakey and shit. Since I have oily face, it gets worse. This powder helps my makeup to stay on without melting from the sweat. It’s the best thing ever.

And this little bottle of 1.75oz or 49gm lasted me 1 1/2 years! It only cost USD$4.

I was surprised when I opened the box. They wrapped my stuff in this zebra pattern paper. It’s SO CUTE. I love it.

Amazon.com should learn how to protect items from MakeUpMania! It had 2 bubble pockets so double protection, PLUS they wrapped my powder bottle with bubble wrap so A+ on protection.

Yay finally have my face powder. I’ve been worried that I couldn’t buy one in time before mine runs out. I also ordered 24 pieces sponge wedges. It’s hard to find this wedge here. All local supermarkets and even beauty stores would carry the normal square sponge. This one has soft texture too. Love it. Both arrived in perfect condition. Overall I’m very happy with MakeUpMania and my order. Will definitely order again from them provided that they’re still in business.

You see, when I filled up petrol for my car at a nearby Petronas station, this very friendly attendant helped me out by filling it out for me and teaching me how to use the card to pay for it (I usually would ask them to do it). After talking he told me they’re having a lucky draw and since I filled up full tank, I was eligible to get two stamps. I’d need 3 stamps to enter. It was not until the 2nd last day before I submitted. By that time, the box was so full that I had a hard time pushing my lucky draw paper in.. I think there must’ve been thousands of entries in there.

Boy was I surprised when I got a call last Saturday saying that I’m a lucky winner. They picked 42 winners from the box, and they will do an event where they’ll draw names to determine which prize we will win. All I wanted was the free food, haha.

The ceremony started at 11 am at the Petronas station, just outside of its mini mart. I was surprised when I reached there.

I didn’t realize when I entered (because I didn’t think I’d win anyway) that all prizes were TOYS. Hahahaha. TOYS! For babies and toddlers! OMG. I was like WTF.

They started the lucky draw and I was praying I don’t win the shitty prizes like tiny school bags meant for toddlers. They were a lot of school bags as the bottom prizes. I was eyeing on the hello kitty or at least that Tiger plushie… at least they’re cute and I can use it. Unfortunately I didn’t get the plushies! I was soooo close though! I had the 16th prize and the hello kitty was for 13th place and Tiger was for 10th. I also wouldn’t mind the 3rd prize which was a remote controller dinosaur figure. OR THE BARBIES! Well not really barbies.. all of the prizes were all cheap China knockoffs. The first prize was an imitation of Transformers robot. Or even the keyboard would’ve been useful and not so embarrassing.

Here are some of the top 10 winners. See that McDonald’s behind there? The exact location where I had an accident. Urgh. Hurt to see it.

Many left early and didn’t even eat the food.. so more for me!

But a lot of people attended.

The best highlight was definitely the food! I’m not a fan of fried noodle but seriously, it was the best and the most damn delicious fried noodle I’ve ever tasted. So yummy that I had 1 1/2 plate, and took home a plate full because they were so much leftover. The ‘kuih’ (or snacks) were delicious too! Too bad they just served plain water because it was a hot day, so I was very thirsty. Wish there was cold drink.

DELICIOUS!

Then I went home and opened the prize.

Here’s what I won. A cheap china-made playhouse meant for babies.. Hahahahaha. It was quite embarrassing to win this.. and it’s very useless since I don’t even have a baby. Don’t know anyone with babies either. But you know what?

It’s actually very cute! It’s like a cute tent that even I can hide in. Haha. I decided to see if my cats would like this as their playhouse and you know what?

They do! A LOT. They wouldn’t stop playing with it and playing inside it. It’s like their little hideout. My 3 outdoor cats are the ones that loves it so much. They like to play and wrestle in it. But Orenji loves it the most. He sleeps in it. He’s practically in the tent everytime he’s inside the house.

Well that’s the end of my interesting lucky draw ever. I had another lucky draw that I won last year that I have yet to write about. I’ll try to find some time to write it. I feel kinda cold now.. would be nice to have a heated blanket. Toodles.

Majority of file sharing sites, including one of the most popular ones which are filesonic & fileserve finally ‘committed suicide‘ in fear of the megaupload case.

Basically filesonic has disabled filesharing function, which is the main function of the whole site. Majority of the users used it for filesharing, doesn’t matter for piracy or legal use. I was hoping this site would stay alive but unfortunately they were chickens. It’s the site I paid monthly to. Yes I had the premium account. Glad I found out before my paypal automatically renews the payment on the same day so I had the chance to cancel. Oh well, it was nice knowing you filesonic. Thank you for all the downloads.

Fileserve also disabled its filesharing function. I heard some others committed suicide too, like one site banned paid users or something.. technically all these sites committed mass suicide. At least, unlike megaupload, they didn’t disable personal upload so if you had uploaded the files, you could still retrieve them and still use them for personal use. I don’t know who would.

It sucks majorly because I used these sites a lot because download from file sharing sites utilizes my connection speed to the maximum . Looks like I have to find an alternative now. But I heard megaupload is coming back. However, anonymous are still taking down websites.. hope they’ll keep going until the retards would come to their senses and stop wanting to censor internet…

…. wishful thinking.

My blackberry phone is giving problems now. I want a blackberry tablet.

I think I will separate this blog into a few parts. The year started out pretty good.. was hoping this would be my awesome year.. failed at that. At least I had an okay start compared to an extremely disastrous ending for year 2010. Okay, let’s start!

JANUARY

1. Getting an iMac.

Technically I got the iMac on 31st of December 2010 but technically I started using it on the 1st January so it counts as 2011

2. My Sorta Sucky New Year’s Eve Celebration

This was a mixed one – in between awesome and sucky. Sucky that there was no celebration but I spent it with my friend and her friends for the first time ever, bumped into a celebrity, got yelled at by a police and just had fun for one night. It was a cool experience.

3. The Worse Flood EVER!

4. My Convocation Ceremony…GRADUATION!!

This was actually the crème de la crème, my highlight of the year. I have finally graduated!! It was okay. It was fun to meet my friends again, it was a very tiring day though. I screwed up one of my pictures but oh well. At this time, this was also the time when I patched up my friendship with my ex. It was a surprise. However I didn’t get the chance to blog about my graduation. Oh well. If I remember correctly, I got sick right when I got back from KL.

5. The Worse Cat Bite EVER.

I can’t forget this… it was the worst cat bite ever because I had to get an injection for it and it was hell. I couldn’t sleep properly, my arm hurts like hell all because of my kitten (who is now living with me). She wouldn’t come out from my neighbor’s house and I was scared she would go missing like her sibling. Unfortunately her brother (who is now my outside cat) was sort of scared to be held so he bit me bad… The injury wasn’t much, the blood wasn’t much but the pain was UNBEARABLE!

6. Adopted Montelle

I officially adopted Montelle into our family!

FEBRUARY

My birthday month. February was quite okay for me. For the first time I traveled to Kuala Lumpur alone by ETS train! It was quite an interesting journey. I can’t remember much about this month though.. hmmm.

1. Steamboat With Friends.

I had friends for a very short while before some friendship turned sour and dramas unfold. It was fun while it lasted. I went for a steamboat with them and got a bit of food poisoning afterwards.

2. My Birthday

I had a modest birthday but I was very touched that some people took the time to plan it out. Didn’t think anyone would wanna celebrate my birthday. And I got a nice bear as a gift! Unfortunately there were stuff happening which ruined the birthday but still, it was a nice thought. Thank you I really appreciate everything. I absolutely LOVED my birthday present! They couldn’t enjoy the cupcakes as they had to leave early so I had all the cupcakes to myself! Mwaha.

That’s all I could remember for February. There isn’t much. I just spent this time hanging out. Again, it was fun while it lasted.

MARCH

This is the time when my life started to go downhill. Thought I’d have a career but no. Depression hits. A fucking huge Tsunami hits Japan that shocked the whole world and I had the opportunity to watch the live telecast as it happened. My cat Jojo got sick but thank God (and I really mean it) that she got better! Elizabeth Taylor passed away. My beloved laptop got pee’d on by my cat thus creating dead pixel and is now completely useless. And well, that’s all I could remember and dug up. No pictures to post for this month.

APRIL

Ahhh April! Things started to get a way better apart from some friendship drama going on. I’d say this is the 2nd favorite month of mine So much things happened in this month! It’s my most memorable month of this year.

1. Saw Mila AF3 (Malaysian Singer)

2. Celebrated Hansel’s Birthday

Managed to celebrate his birthday with some other people. It was quite a memorable night also.

3. Had The Worst & Most Excruciating Stomach Pain EVER

Due to errr… girl problem. I really thought I was dying because the pain was so unbearable and excruciating. I was also losing buckets, and I mean BUCKETS of blood.

4. BOUGHT NEW LAPTOP!

I bought a new Acer Aspire Timeline X laptop at PC Fair that cost me RM2.5k. It was to replace my laptop that got pee’d on and having dead pixels now. I was one of the few who managed to buy this laptop just right after its launch. It was selling like hotcakes.

5. Major House Renovation

My house had semi major renovation this year. New roof, my dry and wet kitchen had a complete makeover, and my bathroom had a complete makeover too.. and my room also is repainted and my closet is rebuilt…then a little bit here and there, plus new paint.. and new furniture… phew. It was quite hell yet fun. I had to wake up at 8 am every morning, having people drilling the house, all the dust and mess … PHEW.

6. My First Insurance/Takaful

Bought my first takaful protection which later kind of changed the course of my life at Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia. Long story.

7. MY FIRST CAR!!

I traded in my cousin’s Perodua Kancil for a brand new Myvi! It’s the limited edition pink Myvi that I love so much. And I remember picking up the car on a Friday morning on the day of the royal wedding

8. The Royal Wedding

MAY

Hmm I can’t remember much about May because that’s when my house renovation was just finishing up and we were very busy with the cleaning up and everything. Also this is the month where I started to become obsessed with ordering DVDs from Amazon. I will dedicated a whole new entry for that. However there are a few things that’s worth mentioning.

1. Mother’s Day

I took mom to pizza hut for mother’s day dinner and it was a HORRIBLE experience. Food were late, and mine was barely cooked.. urgh it was a disaster but I did buy mom a gold bangle And some gold necklace and earrings for myself.

2. KITTENS!

My outdoor cat gave birth to a new batch of litter Orenji, BonBon and Bobo.

3. The McDonald’s Coke Can Glass Collection

Ahh.. I remember that this is the time when I was crazy with collecting the coke glass! This is the cause of my instant weight gain And later on my cat would break on of the extra glasses.. but I still have a complete collection ;D

 4. Learned How To Make Chocolates

I went to a class where I learned how to make chocolates! Yummy.

That’s pretty much it. The first 5 months of my 2011 that’s worth mentioning. The rest of the year will be continued maybe tomorrow. I have training class and work to do tomorrow. Bleh. Oh well. Last but not least,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Goodbye 2011 and Hello 2012!
I pray 2012 will be a lot better for me, and I hope I achieve more that I can be proud next year compared to this year.
Amen.

I need to think of my new year’s resolution later.

TO BE CONTINUED…

So far I haven’t done anything spectacular that I can be proud of, except that I had my convocation early this year which is the only memorable thing this year… oh yeah, and also getting my new cars And one other thing that I can’t mention here. Overall it’s just a mediocre year. I didn’t have any memorable events happening this year apart from winning a couple of stuff.

I have also been too busy this year that I barely had time to blog. I had so much stuff that I wanted to blog about but never had the chance to write about. Before the year ends, I will take some time to write a few more blog posts reminiscing my 2011 and my new year’s resolution. it’s gonna be LONG. I need to dig up some old stuff and remember my 2011 timeline. Right now I’m getting too sleepy so goodnight.

Oh man, feels like my 2011 ended way too fast.

Oh well. Hayward pool pump motors.
