its abookalypse!

so, every year The Big Bad Wolf brings books at a cheap rate..so cheap that u're just FORCED to buy! it is crazy! and you'd be crazy not to buy! most books are at a RM8 price range! DO YOU KNOW HOW CHEAP THAT IS FOR A BOOK?! when i first heard about the sale, i was sceptical, because most of the time, books that goes for cheap are shit titles! but..this sale has a good range of book titles for all! 

LOL. that sounded like an advert for them! i swear i am not being sponsored by them to say that! I WISH!

anywho, i went to the sale, and needless to say..i SHOPPED! and shopped! and 1 trip was not enough (as they were cheeky and release new titles every now and then, that i had to keep going back).

but i was really happy i went the many times i did! i discovered new books to read, books i was curious about before, and books i had on my wishlist for forever.

decisions!

my buddies throughout this fiasco was Ewie, Jing, Zhi, Yee Keong, & Justin!

the dilemma of TOO many books!

i went to the sale, a total of 6 times..and bought something each time!

so without further ado, here is my massive book haul of over 6 trips! :)
yes, i feel extra nerdy now, and i am in serious need of a new bookshelf because of it.

EOTN #3

of the day/night series:

[12.07.2011]

tonight, a random, spontaneous, short trip to Changkat with Jing, Shaun, Kai Yang and Ren Yi. we haven’t hung out together in a really long time!

decided to try out a super purple look! been really keeping it neutral lately..so I decided to use some colour and went for bright purple this time..

and yes, im even wearing my amethyst contact lenses..

Sketch by MAC slightly above the crease (with Sigma E25 brush)
Purple Velvet Jumbo Eye Pencil b NYX on the lid, as base
(blend with with Sigma F70 brush)
mix the bright shimmery purple (4th colour from the top of the purple row) & the darkest purple (last purple of the purple purple row) from 88 Colour Palette on the lid (with Sigma E55 brush)
blend the purple and Sketch colour with a clean Sigma E40 brush
Creme by Shades on the browbone & use colour to tidy up (with Etude House large blending brush)
take the darkest purple from 88 Colour Palette, create small outter 'V' & bring colour to the lower lash line (with Sigma E30 brush)

Line eyes with a thin line of black liquid liner
& tight-line with black kohl liner & on water-line
curl lashes & apply mascara.

optional:
fake lashes! im wearing the half ones..
just on the outer half.

honestly, the purple aint that bright..its significantly purple, but not as bright as the picture la..

too purple?!

"It All Ends"

how appropriate! to start of, let me say NO i did not plan this! i figure that since i haven't done a proper update/daily post AT ALL since this blog started! id do an update about my weekend till today..

this is my 70th post on this blog! and its appropriate that its dedicated to Harry Potter! :P
you know, its the 7th movie..the last one..and this is the 70th post?! *lame* let me be la kay..

since Sunday night, the gang (Jing, Gerrit, Justin, Hao Xian and Yan) has been coming over after dinner for a HP movie marathon in preparations to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (part 2) on WEDNESDAY 13th July!!! *ekkk.excited!*

no i didnt force them! LOL..ok kinda, abit! indirectly..tee hee..
see amongst my group of friends..im the only Harry Potter fan/fanatic/fandom(?!) and im forcing it upon them to watch the 7th, part 2 movie with me on Wednesday..
however, some haven't even watch the 1st part! so hence, we decided to get together and watch all the movies together! so that everyone understands whats going on.

for me personally, this is MY way of celebrating/ welcoming the last Harry Potter movie! 3 days HP movie marathon in anticipation of the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!

On Sunday night we begin with:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

then we went for supper..LOL..

came back and continued with...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

then on, Monday night:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

 and like pigs, we went for supper again! :P

then we called it a night. cause the guys had something to do the next day..

Tuesday night,

meaning tonight..sigh i might be watching this all by myself! :( cause the gang cant make it! it:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

&

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

&

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

but we'll see..

maybe i'd watch Half-Blood Prince on Wednesday afternoon instead..

Wednesday afternoon (before the movie):

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

and lastly,

Wednesday, 13th July 2011, 9.10pm

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

<3

its such a bitter sweet moment!

in the first movie poster, you see "Let the magic begin"

and in the last, "It all ends!" :'(

so excited that its finally coming out and cant wait to watch it!

but at the same time, so sad that its the end! :(

now what am i to do?!

whats there to look forward too now?!

on another note;

see, im not a HUGE fan of the cast of the Harry Potter movie..I LOVE HARRY POTTER and the wizarding world..so, i know about the cast and all that..but im not an actual fan of any of the cast members...

as i was watching the LIVE streaming of the NYC Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 movie premiere last night?/this morning (6am)..and i realized.. "HEY! Tom Felton grew up good... :P"

this past week or so, ive been living of Harry Potter, feeding hungrily on all the hype and the excitement caused by the coming movie release..been watching interviews, clips and all those..

and i must say, i am starting to really like Tom Felton! LOL! he's just adorable! u can see it in his interviews! haha..

he even delivered pizza to the fans who were camping out for the NYC premiere!

he tweeted:
"i enjoyed my role as pizza delivery boy last night!"

awww....

I WANT TO EAT PIZZA DELIVERED BY TOM FELTON TOO!

time to go stalk all the movie he's made and watch em! ;P
