Unduk Ngadau 1973

If it comes to Kaamatan ... the highlight would be the Unduk Ngadau. Oh how I love to see those big perfect hairs and 2 inch makeups :) but I hate the nose bridge they always overdone it and make their nose like Michael Jackson....like this girl from Kota Belud for example..

so ketara the nose!!!

First, I want to you guys to know my Unduk Ngadau "kuda" this year is from Penampang, DBKK and Tenom. GO Penampang!!!

My mom 1st on the the right....I love her updo here..

top 3 finalist

Flamingo Mascara

I first heard about this fabulous mascara from my friend Bai, when I saw her I thought she just got lash extensions done...i cant believe that just a mascara.

So I ordered one from a Beauty corner of pei2@lowyat.com and it only cost RM33!! Please be warned that there also imitation sold on this item, imitations from Malaysia are sold in Black Boxes and the imitations coming from Singapore are in White Boxes. The sticker printed on the box must have website on it, otherwise its fake.

original vs fake

comes in 2 tubes..

Transplanting Gel (the basic black mascara) and a tube of dry Fiber.

GILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! I dont even have to curl my lashes.
This is just the 1st cycle, You can increase to the length of your choice sampai jadi Snufflelufugus pun bulih , by repeating the process of mascara first then the fibers and coat again with mascara...

and best of all, it doesn't clump & doesn't smudge...

Fish, Book, Elephant & Tree

I've known about Baby Signs from a pamphlet Sandra distributed while I was buying cloth diapers from her. It is interesting to know that you can actually communicate with your baby as young as 8 months old.

"Using the Baby Signs^® Program …

• Reduces tears, tantrums, & frustration
• Allows babies to share their world
• Strengthens the parent-child bond
• Boosts babies’ self-esteem and self-confidence
• Makes learning to talk easier
• Stimulates intellectual development"

from Babysignmalaysia

Fortunately, there is a Baby Sign instructor one and only here in Kota Kinabalu and I quickly sign up with Ethel when Baby gaga turned 6 months.

For me, its not about getting him to be clever or anything but main reason is to communicate with him...

When Baby made his first "puppy" sign when he is about 10 months old, I was really really excited, and smsed Ethel straight away...he looked so cute when he did his sign...

this is Baby Gaga doing his favorite baby signs...

Happy Birthday Jimonon

Its my Christmas Eve dinner picture folder from last year, I think this photo is classic, but I dunno why I didnt put it up on my Christmas entry...
This photo was taken by Jag with his brand new super duper mahal digital SLR camera Canon 50D. It was Christmas Eve + my dad's birthday...my Dad gave a taste of his birthday cake to my baby Gaga.

I think this tag is the easiest, so if anyone want to do this tag...do lah..!!

Kawaii eyes

If you've been following my blog since duuulu lagi, i did mentioned that Im short sighted. I didn't care much when I wore my glasses only when I attend class back then. As time goes by and after having my baby...I noticed that visions got more blurry without glasses...
And since I start driving, I really need my glasses...and I always always forgot to bring my glasses & have to go back to my room and get it...buang masa betul.
but what really bothers me is when now that I love makeups...its such a waste to put on a beautiful eyeshadows and cover it with glasses...kan!!? kan!!?

I really did think of wearing contacts a few years back, when I asked my hubby about it (since he wear contacts) he said, it will be troublesome for me...with my sensitive eyes & poking my eyes and all...so I just stay with glasses lah.

So recently, I decided to go hell with poking eyes...this is for cosmetic purpose, if I can handle nose piercing and Helix ear piercing...what this small thing would get in the way?

Now I got my first contact lens....colored 2-tone contact lens from GEO Contact Lens

GEO Angel - Brown
Do I look like a vegetarian vampire? hihihi

GEO Angel - Grey
I love this grey contacts because it goes well with any look :)

I bought online from MissyGorgeous. for RM25/pair.
ya lah...everything also online...cheaper mah!!! I saw in lintas they sell like rm60/pair...!!!

Long Time No See

My bestfriend Lynn was in town a few weeks ago, It's been like nearly 2 years since I last saw her from her wedding ...wow so lama...but I'm glad that I catch up with her that night.

We supposed to go out "moginum" instead, thanks to Magic Sing (a plug and play device microphone has full karaoke functions embedded in micro-computer chips) we had so much fun...we stayed at her mom's place and moginum there with her family...so syiok.

I guess this is how it feels like when u crossed that age line, where spending time and have fun with family is more enjoyable ;)

singing with Magic Sing mic...this gadget is cool man!!
OMG!! if u notice, i wore the same exact top when we celebrate her Hen's nite...odoi!!

Me and Lynn...friends forevaa...

P/s I hope you get your Lead Stewardess post...Goog Luck Lynn!!
