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.

This is a side project of my company, Creative Neko Studio.

Street Neko (http://www.street-neko.com) will focus on clothing, and might add any interesting and kawaii things in the future. It’s selling trendy clothes that you see mainly from Japan and Korea. I’m starting out small but I will expand soon. It took me a week+ to build this online store because I kept changing the cart system. I didn’t find the ones that I like, and ones that I like is in chinese language. This plan for this shop has been thought of for half a year already but just never had the chance to really execute it. I wanted to start with a simple blogshop only but yeah, decided to go more organized.

Please spread the word around & support Street Neko!

I don’t know how long this website can last, or this business, but I know I’m trying my very best right now. So if you love trendy Korean and Japanese fashion trend & kawaii things, do visit the website!

Now that’s done, I need to focus on other things now. I’ve been too busy for my own good. Bleh.

Yes I am.

I’m on the edge of bankruptcy. I’m not kidding. There’s nothing I can do in this city. If I was in KL, I’d have bigger and better opportunities to get a job that’s related to what I studied. I have loans to pay, bills to pay, personal expense to cover and I’m pulling my hair out right now. Why am I stuck in this city? Because I can’t afford KL lifestyle at the moment. Also, there’s NO WAY in hell that I’m going back living in that hell hole a.k.a my apartment.

I’m being pressured from every corner. My work, my mom, my ‘boss’, my colleague, my family, my own self… I just wish that I could disappear for a while. Sometimes I think that I’ve strayed too far from my life plan and made some bad choices .. especially leaving KL and leaving my passion. I don’t know. This is killing me. I just wish everybody would stop pressuring me, leave me be and let me do my own thing peacefully.

What’s even suckier is that I went into Amazon.com couple of days ago and saw majority of my DVDs that are in my wishlist are on SALE. Some are dirt cheap. And I can’t friggin afford them anymore! But I couldn’t let go two – CHARMED COMPLETE SERIES DVD which I’ve been wanting for SO LONG but it has always been so expensive.. It was on sale for USD$71.50 so technically each season cost about $9 only.. so that’s cheap.  The second one is THE VAMPIRE DIARIES SEASON 2 BLURAY which cost $23.00.. FUCKING FINALLY. I have been keeping an eye for this set to go cheap and finally it’s cheap enough for me to buy! Right after I ordered them Charmed increased to almost $100 and Vampire Diaries increased to almost $51.00 at the time I’m writing this.

There were a lot more DVD that were cheap but I didn’t order them fast enough and the next few hours they increased in price This is so depressing but I did spend thousands on amazon for the past few months.. O_O;; Oh yeah here’s another deal. If you want some good deal, you can get dropdowndeals coupons and save more! I think now is a good time because it’s -

DECEMBER!

‘Tis the season to be jolly, falalala la la la laaaaaa….

Jolly my arse.. Gosh I can’t believe it’s the last month of 2011 already.. and I don’t think I’ve done anything productive this year…

It was a just a day trip but a damn tiring one. We planned to leave at 8 am but I had a very tiring Saturday so I ended up sleeping in the entire evening and woke up at 10 pm. I actually went to Tesco to shop at 11 pm and got home at almost 1 am. Haha.

We reached KL at almost 12 pm, then straight away went to bakery shops and bought lots of stuff – chocolates, cake mix, drinks etc. After having fun like a kid in a toy store, we went to Berjaya Times Square for lunch and reached there at almost 4 pm. Wow, I haven’t been there in ages because majority of things have changed especially the food court. It’s so much better now and the best thing is that it’s located on the lower ground floor instead of the lonely 10th floor. I had Japanese teriyaki chicken bento. Surprisingly they’re quite cheap. And you have to use a prepaid card to pay for the food.

It actually taste quite good too except I’ve had better chawanmushi before at Yoshinoya. I miss yoshinoya which is no longer available in Malaysia Their chawanmushi was damn good – they had mushroom and crabs but then they toned it down but the price remained which upsets me. Now they’re completely gone. Blah. This chawanmushi had only 4 small pieces of crab sticks, that’s it. Bit disappointed.

Anyways, then I went to ‘Low Yat Plaza‘ and FINALLY bought myself the laptop table I’ve always wanted. I think this is like the 4th or 5th table. It has low quality built but what the heck. I found exactly the one I wanted after a long search. I wonder how come they don’t have any tables in my city until I have to go to KL to search for it. I hope this one will last longer than the ones I had.

I also bought a new modem router because my old one finally died, I think. It’s a Belkin and they said I have a lifetime warranty but I’m not gonna claim the warranty because it’s pretty outdated. Now I have a better modem router (D-Link) and it’s cheaper than Belkin. It’s working fine now and I finally can use my streamyx again. Even though I had streamyx so much because it’s so slow, at least it doesn’t have limited bandwidth. Unlike my P1 Wimax, even though the speed is good, but I only have 30Gb bandwidth a month. I wanna play second life again.

So we finally left KL at 6.15pm and got stuck in traffic jam for a bit. That’s one thing I don’t miss about KL – the massive traffic jam. But luckily after a while I accidentally found the highway back to Ipoh so we didn’t get delayed and left for Ipoh. However my uncle thought we’d visit a relative – we got lost and spent over an hour to search for the place only to find out they were not at home. :\ I was already too tired and sleepy and I had to stop at 2 different rest stops to take a quick nap. Plus it was drizzling so it was like a perfect weather to sleep.

Well I finally reached my home at almost 12 am. Had to speed a bit otherwise I’d fall asleep in the car. I was really sleepy and tired and my right knee was hurting like hell. Thank God there was no scary experiences on the highway like the last time except a couple of minor ones in Kl where I almost drove my car to hit other car. My mistake.

I spent the entire day today sleeping wtf. I had to wake up at night to go to class but now it’s 4 am and I’m wide awake. Gah. Oh well.

I declare Amazon to be very evil.

It seduced me with its discounts.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I bought like 7 DVDs.. that includes the box set which technically contains 8 seasons, so that’s like 14 DVDs in a day! My record. And I thought it would end there but somehow I couldn’t stop browsing amazon.. it’s like calling to me.. and to see all the cheap discounts compared to 2005 it made me go crazy wide-eyed hysterical.

So I bought more

Here are some of new DVDs I bought:

THE DREW CAREY SHOW FIRST SEASON $39.98 $13.49

This was a spontaneous decision. I miss the show It was hilarious. I wish they would release the rest of the seasons. I didn’t think of ordering this at first but when I saw the 66% discount and it’s quite cheap now so I had to get it. Apparently majority of TV series DVD are below 20 bucks now which makes me go crazy @_@

FAWLTY TOWERS $49.98 $23.99

This has got to be one of the best shows of all time. So fucking hilarious. John cleese is legend. I already have a bootleg copy of this but for the commentary and extra features, I’m willing to buy the original. Plus, it has 52% off! Half the price so must get.

MY WIFE & KIDS FIRST SEASON $24.98 $14.99

Damon Wayans is one hilarious guy! I’d love to have Michael (his character) to be my dad, haha. I love this show.. wish they’d release more seasons. But thank God I ordered just in time before amazon ran out of stock and instead being sold by 3rd party seller now.. which can’t ship both season 1 and 2 to outside of the US. FUHH. I’m so happy.

MY WIFE & KIDS SECOND SEASON $29.98 $17.99

Must get the second season too because it has 43% discount…

DIFF’RENT STROKES FIRST SEASON $19.94 $10.99

“Whatchoo talkin’ bout, Willis?”
Who could forget the late Gary Coleman and his infamous line? Haha. I never got the chance to watch this when it was on TV so I wanna watch it now. It’s cheap anyways.

FAMILY MATTERS FIRST SEASON $29.98 $14.99

Steve Urkel annoys me to hell but that’s what make him so hilarious haha. I remember watching him when I was a kid but I didn’t watch the whole season so since it’s also cheap now I decided to buy it.

THAT THING YOU DO! $19.98 $15.99

I actually added this the last minute. I LOOOOOOVE this movie. I’ve been looking for this for ages since my vhs tape can’t be played anymore cuz my vhs player is broken. When I saw this has the extended cut PLUS all the bonus features, I decided to get it. I can’t help myself.

Well, that’s what I bought yesterday/today. Argh. I gotta stop buying these damn DVDs. My mom is so gonna kill me when they arrives.. that’s like.. 21 DVDs in a week.. WTF. OH EM GEE. That’s gotta be my new record. Anyways. I can’t wait for these DVDs to arrive. I hope they arrives in good condition. I’ve been having a lot of troubles with amazon.com so I hope no defective DVD or something. For this order I opted for priority shipping so it’ll arrive most probably in 4-6 days

You can tell I’m one classic TV sitcom freak XD
