Instead of hotel, we chose to stay at some backpacker hostel.
Thought that since we wouldn't be spending much time in the hotel(just a place to sleep), in order to save more money(for food!!), also we've always wanted to experience the backpacker life!
There's no better country to start with than the safety-safe Singapore :)
It's just pre-graduation as it's only diploma that we have accomplished.
So all of my friends are heading to KL for degree next while I stuck here on the island..
WE ARE GOING TO BE SEPARATED T.T
Sadness started flowing in my veins two weeks before our last final exam,
Everyday I wake up to something that says:
"Cherish the days left with them Karwei, you won't be seeing them after these 2 weeks ady"
It sounds a bit dramatic but seriously,
...
I wasn't this sad during high school graduation because it felt different!
Everyone that went to your high school lives not far away from each other and will always feel connected.
But all of these friends you made in college,
From different states, you live with them, spend most of your time with them, you see them more than your parents in these few years (referring to those who stayed in student hostel, like I did)
Rather than friends, they're more like life partners..
Recall the moments when I first started my college life, everything was super difficult back then.
I didn't make much friends, they were all pure acquaintances,
I hated college so much I even wrote a long blog post to rant about it: http://karweigoay.blogspot.com/2013/07/college-problems.html
Not long after the blog post was up, I happened to encountered A LOT of friends that just click without much words.
And things started to go really well and dull college life drastically turned brighter!
So trust me, time is all you need to finally find where you belong :) !
This is a blog post dedicated to all my college mates,
I wanna have this memory stuck forever in my head.
I am good, berry good because I am on my holiday mood right meow (>‿◠)✌

Hello guys! I'm finally here for another product review.
Miss me doing em reviews yet? :p
Well listen up gals, today I've got good stuff to recommend for ya'll!
I'll be reviewing CLIO VirginKiss Tension Lips lipsticks!!
They're so far the best products that I've ever received for reviewing purpose! :3
Eh come on it's lipstick!
Any of my close friends would know that I am lipstick-fetish and I can never get enough of them
My life motto is "There is never enough lipsticks"
HAHHAHAH :p they're just so wonderful and enhance the whole look by just one touch.
Product Descriptions:
OMG PLEASE LOR.
All of the colors look so pretts! Can I get all please!
The sad news is they do not carry no.1 & no.2 in Malaysia
But you can easily find the following ones in any SASA stores nationwide! :)
Here's some brief introduction of the shades No.3 Instant Love: Irresistible warm tone for pinkholic girls. No.4 Pretty Plz: Charming, girly carol peach that won't leave no dead skin cells! No.5 Shock: Red orange that makes faces appear to be brighter. No.6 Bangarang: Light red between pink and red. No.7 Some: Must have for Fasionistas! Red burgundy color! No.8 CHU: Pinkish bright cherry red.
In this blog post, Im going to be talking about shade no.7 & no.8 :D
Product Packaging:
The packaging is sleek and rather classy.
The lipsticks are very light-weighted too. Easy to carry everywhere!
Even tho the tube is not exactly slim but I adore the design!
It's got a flat bottom that makes it easy to stand and not just roll around and make a mess :S
Swatches:
CHU wowed me when I first applied it on my hand, it is a very highly concentrated burning red!
And I was soooo worried that I couldn't pull it of :/
SOME is as chic as expected. I've always wanted one of these burgundy color!
Formulation & Pigmentation:
The lipstick is extremely creamy. I have to be very careful not to let my hair near my lips.
I'm so scared that it'll pull a red line outta my lips across my face :/
The first layer of application can hardly be seen because it is very sheer the first swipe.
Then I tried reapplying for 3-4 layers to achieve the effect that I want,
It turns out to be very pigmented and loveeeeeeeeely!
I guess I love how it initially appears to be so sheer because it means you can actually use it as light pink,
reddish-pink, or even burning red. It all depends on how many layers you put on.
Of course, after 3-4 of swipe, it could be very very pigmented and has glossy finish.
Demo:
*wearing NO.8 CHU in photos above*
As for NO.7 SOME, I don't really have a lot of photos hahahahaha.
Tho I wore it to a brunch date with my bestieeeee!
The lipstick lasts HELLA long.
One can go on 4-5hours without reapplying it! I am impressed :O!
WELL except that you eat, then the color will fade A LITTLE. Not all, just turn lighter.
This is NO.7 SOME turned pinkish red after I devoured a super heavy brunch :3
Still got color lah of course! I actually liked how it turned out and couldn't be bothered to reapply
HEHEHHEHEHEH.
Opinions:
I really really like this lipstick.
Because you know what, reason #1,
it is a lot cheaper than other high-end makeup brands out there.
And what you get is just as good as those expensive ones! The texture, formulation, pigmentation all
#2 It is crazy pigmented that I actually DO NOT HAVE TO bring it out for a short dinner/ lunch date.
Expecting it to last approximately 4-5 hours is easy peasy.
#3 THE COLOR LOOKS SO GOOD IN PHOTOSSSS.
Do I even need to further elaborate this on? :p
Wait wait, I'm not done yet.
I'm still gons talk about another product from CLIO, which is
CLIO GELPRESSO Waterproof Shadow
" It is filled with sliding melting gel texture in the retractable auto pencil. It glides on smoothly and gives dramatic eye makeup. Creamy and melting formula stays put all day long without smudging. "
It does what it claims, shimmering and lasts all day, literally.
How would I know?
Because after I made this swatch on my hand, I kind of forgotten that it was there,
AND YES, I DID SHOWERED OKAY. =.=
Until the next morning when I'm typing on my computer, I saw some bling bling thingy on my hand.
I was like "what the heck, it is still there!?" after like two showers and countless times of hand washing.
I tried it rub it away but apparently it couldn't be erased so easily.
I had to get up and grab my makeup remover.
In the one swipe, voila:
It confuses why I tried rubbing it away so hard(with water) but couldn't succeed,
one light swipe with makeup remover then its gone ://
Anyhow, I use it as eye makeup primer because the color is breathe-takingly beautiFOL!
Plus its power of staying on, I wouldn't have to worry about my eye makeup smudging lor.
Good one CLIO.
It's products all got superb quality but selling at such affordable price.
Birthday celebrations get increasingly challenging each year.
I mean, you already gave your best last year, what to do this year ?!
And the fact that some people are making birthdays such big and fancy dates,
it just kinda stresses ordinary&humble girl like me, out :p
No I'm not talking bout my birthday la.. but my friend's!
I want them to feel special and loved on their big day, not having anything less than what they saw other people did on social media lols. Seriously eveything that people post on social media kinda gives us 无形的压力
Maybe its just me.
Cut to the chase!
So two weeks before my best friend Weiwei's birthday,
I casually messaged her boyfriend on FB asking what was he getting her for birthday,
I don't wanna get the same thing laaaaa in case crash gifts right.
Then he was like
"eh, why don't we plan a surprise for her?"
I was like yea cool.
Then we contacted her close friends from her college, her colleagues (who couldn't make it :/)
We decided on waiting her at a cafe(without her knowing) while her boyfriend brings her out to lepak,
by the time we're ready then he'll bring her here and give her the excuse of chilling..
It went pretty messy because.. you'll find out later! Just keep reading! :p
First thing first, of course, we got heliums! Hohoho
It's becoming one of the birthdays "must-have" prop.
Not only do they look great in photos, THEIR SO FASCINATING AND MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER :3
Here's Simay paying for the balloons bcos I had no cash at all wtf #worstfriendever
We made reservations at a cafe in town but we had to go all the way to Bayan Lepas to get em heliums!
Jie drives ok
I was like seriously? Totally different roads lor. I was so cranky and..
*drum rolls* the moment I saw these little shits I was like yea it's worth it.
HAHAHA don't know why ah they just got the power to make people happy! :D
It's a home-based business. Anyone that wants their number can come ask me on my facebook!
This guy was helping us to stuff the balloons into the car, which, turned out to be a very bad idea..
Please excuse my Sam Poh, I pull it out when I drive bcos I hate how seat belt presses it against my chest
LOOK AT THOSE BALLOONS THEIR LIKE SUPER TIN TEH LOOOO how am I gonna drive like this!
No need to look at the back mirror MEH. So dangerous ://
Then how ah, I drive a little car nia so there's really not much space..
deng deng deng**
Cus YOLO. Hahaha!
And it's the only way.
As good-looking as these heliums are but they're actually pains in the ass.
Keep tangled altogether and it made them unable to fly up in the sky cus tangled liao got pressure, heavy..
Don't know lah some psychic shit.
Something went wrong.
The cafe that we booked a table at, didn't bother to seat us, even tho we booked. And we asked for a more spacious area so its easier to move around taking photo and stuff la.. but they didn't give it to us.
Meh, the waiter didn't even look at us.
Three of us felt it would be uncomfortable to dine in such awkward atmosphere,
So we decided to switch location!
(don't wanna mention name in case I get bashed in the name of ruining peoples business tsk tsk,
but I believe in freedom of speech lor)
Strolling around beach street, foursquare-ing for good cafes nearby.
And we finally decided on Coffee On The Table, I'm so glad that we did, because
THEIR FOODS ARE AMAZEBALLS!
Always been a big fan :3
Settled down at Coffee On The Table & met up with Weiwei's college friends!
Annoying SiewHui :p
Vain a lot before the birthday girl shows up.
We actually waited for quite long, due to her bf's clumsiness of not being able to find the place!
Hahhaha. No lah our bad actually, last minute changed the location :'/
Don't even get me started on what these things look like..
HAHAHHAHAHA they're actually filled with water that add weights so the heliums don't fly off.
After an hour of long wait,
And several paranoid phone calls from her boyfriend,
Finally,
They found their ways here!
She came in with "wtf, walao" but didn't look surprise at all.
Smhhhhh. Was expecting her to tear :p
Quite a failed surprise but still, the feeling that everyone gathers together and have a good time.
:)
Some food pics in case you're tired of seeing our faces already :p
Aglio Olio with prawn.
..
House Style BBQ Chicken, which, is very very nice!
Must try :3
Very blurry selfies with the birthday girl.
Idk wtf happened but my TR performes like shit under low light ://
I'm still trying to get a hold of it! Till then, do bear with these bad quality pics.
Too lazy to bring my big ass Sony out everywhere.
Thanks everyone for showing up especially those have exam the next day :p
but who am I to thank anyone, isn't this the birthday girl's line lol
Before you read, I have a disclaimer:
I really did not expect this blog post to go viral.
I've been blogging for 5 years and I thought "its just another random blog post, its fun, why not"
Little did I know that it would amuse and catch so much attentions.
I am just a normal girl that likes blogging okay, you read, you feel funny, you laugh it off.
I am not behind the ViralCham webpage and neither did I ask for this "fame". Put yourselves in my shoes, if u just innocent write your blog but then it suddenly become like this? Mean comments and bad opinions are not necessary. You wanna read, you don't talk shit.
Enjoy!
Believe me when I say I always make the worst decisions.
Yes, I went to to have a hair cut and I totally regret it! *screeeeeaam*
On the day right after I went to makan Mamma Mia Coconut Ice Cream.
Why? Because going out at such hot day made me realize how sticky and annoying my hair is.
How troublesome and unattractive when the wind blows them up against my face.
#2 my eyes are looking better day by day.
My fringe was parted to one side where it happened to cover one of my eyes.
NEHHH. I want them both to be seen ^.^ (will do an eyelids update soon)
#3 cus YOLO.(fuck yolo. yolo is shit, biggest shit)
Before cutting my fringe. Actually to be honest, it looks perfectly fine, feminine, or even better,
HOT.
..
Then I had to be so keh gao and went to cut it!!
FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKK. I swear it is the stupidest thing I've ever decided!
Ugh. Back to the story,
So I called and made an appointment at XX saloon.
Neither did I think twice nor hesitate. Seriously wheres that courage from
Arrived at XX saloon.
I have an announcement:
I hate this hair saloon. Yes. I mean it.
The hair wash and massage was good, but the hairstylist was annoying as fuck.
Throughout that 2 hours while my hair being washed, blew dry and cut,
the branch's director (I chose a director cos I couldn't risk letting a rookie does my hair)
kept on PUSHING me to do treatment, buy their products, or even combs!!
Okay, I understand it is normal to introduce your products/services to the customers,
but please, KNOW YOUR LIMITS.
I had already told her that I purchased some treatment packages at other saloon,
that I would go their place to try theirs once I finish those lah!!
But she still didn't give up! Keep persuading persuading persuading, until THE END OF THE HAIR CUT. EVEN TILL I PAID. SHE WAS STILL TALKING. 想做也给你讲到不想做了okay!!
Walao eh, at one point I tried to change topic and told her that I was nervous to get my hair cut.
I said :
我很紧张叻 很久没有剪头发了 尤其是刘海
She answered with :
没有什么好紧张的啦 可是hor 如果你是做了treatment再剪的话 会更美的咯
Wtfffffffffffff wtf wtf I've never been to any hair saloon that pushes sales so hardcore!
I practically rolled my eyes to the back of my head, wished she get it done quicklier.
It was a disaster. Ughh!
A photo that I took to show my friends.
It's not finished yet, wanna see when it is?
Promise you won't laugh.
Yep.
Just do it.
I don't care if I can't hear.
YOU JUST PROMISE!
Oi!
Promise le ma?
You sure..
Cannot laugh ah!
WALAO IT LOOKS LIKE MY HAIR KENA BITTEN BY RAT LIKE THAT.
If you're wondering, yes yes yes, I DID tell her that I wanna cut 空气刘海!
She took my hair and observed, said 你的头发很适合剪空气刘海
TMD. 酱你剪给我的是什么 LJ
I got so so so so so FRUSTRATED there's no word for this level of frustration!
GODDDDD FORBID
T.T
Look Not only that the hairstylist cut WAYYYY TOO SHORT for me,
Still very unbalance ok! Super super unbalanced and seriously it looks as if I cut it myself. or worse
My friends keep emphasizing that nobody cut that short one lah! Above brows leh! Very tambai leh!
I was like YA LAAAAH BO NAO ONEEEE.
Then I'm thinking maybe the girl held grudges at me bcos I didn't wanna do treatment nor buy their stuff.
Just kidding buttttttt who ever knows.
Worst RM55 spent. I'm never ever going back.
The first thing to do was to show my friends and ask what do they think of it?
And here, I have gathered some of the reactions..
T.T
Or even my families'
LOL at my mom's reaction! Hahhahahaa
Cus I used to cry a lot when I get a hair cut, then she thinks I'll cry everytime lah now.
.... But I was close. I really wanted to cry.
Insults on texts are nothing, I was reluctant to go to the college the next year bcs I was scared being laugh at.
But how long can I run away, it happened anyway..
I interviewed some of my friends regarding what they think of my hair or do they think its cute or ridiculous.
And I recorded it cos I found them FUNNY. HAHHAHAHHAHAHHAAAH
MUST WATCH PLEASE VERY FUNNY
Oi the last one looked so tulan for what.
So sorry I sound like a total kid. And thats our usual way of joking please no judgments needed :)
Okay lah. Jokes aside, I still look okay when I have make up on.
Lmao so innocent-looking I cannot even.
As much as I hated being labelled HOT, somehow I guess it's better than being called a retard?
Yep, I am now very retard-looking. And much younger than how I used to look!
Wah wahhh.. it's true that they say you don't know what's good to you until it's gone.
Best example right there, my fucking long fringe.
Alright enough rants. Do you remember theres something about hair:
IT GROWS. lol
No point being all negative and sad about it.
Before you know it, it might grow quite some length already :)
