Of presents and empty wallets.

So my birthday is in two days time! :DHad a very scrumptuous Japanese food dinner with my parents last Saturday to celebrate my birthday earlier. Dad bought me a miny sponge cheesecake from Four Seasons rather tha nthose eat-until-sien Secret Recipe cakes. No offense! :P I do love their cakes but sometimes it's nice to have a little change.

No pictures cause dad brought the camera along on his business trip. Will upload them after he comes back!

Not only that! He also bought me the most-rave-about Instax Mini 7s Polaroid camera from Fujifilm!
:D

It comes in a plastic container like this. But before that i did browse through Google and found out some do come in a paper box like this:

Dad said he bought it at a camera fair in Hong Kong from a Fujifilm booth... So oh well, guess it comes in 2 different packaging. (Though i would prefer the paper box one! <<Oh shut up!)

I initially wanted the white + blue one cause blue was my favorite color. :o

But it was out of stock then and they were having a promotion and the only ones left were the pure white one, the brown one (ugliest imo. :P) and the white + pink one. So dad chose the pure white one over everything else. At first i was a little disappointed but now, the more i look at the pure white one, the more i love it! *w*

It came with a free camera strap, a packet of film and some manuals writen in 100000 languages LOL!

And finally a picture of my new toy! <3

Ahhhh she's so pretty! :D

Have never used in yet though. Can't seem to find the perfect moment for it. Will prolly use it at an ACG event. And maybe during prom or graduation. Ohh, how time flies! :'C
I might be getting some other stuff for my Instax too! Like a leather pouch, the rainbow colored film (So colorful! Will definitely get one!), and maybe a photo album. Goodbye money! D:

Anyways, recently, i've been browsing through Lowyat Forums a lot and found out that there are actually some pretty good deals on make up there! At the 'Stuff For Ladies' section. Have spent about RM100 of my Ang Pau money on down priced make up there! Good thing is, some items are used only a few times (and sterilised) and some even brand new! And the prices are crazily low.

Imagine this, i got my self a BRAND NEW Shu Uemura Instant Glow Make Up base for...

RM20. OAO

Well it's the 10ml one. The retail price for the 50ml one is around RM161.80 (via SASA) so i consider this as a really good buy! Also bought a second hand Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Milky Lips lipstick for RM30. The previous owner has only swatched it once on her arm and never used it since then.

Oh yes, there are a few more but i'll only break the surprise when all the stuff arrives. :D
Sighs! It's true they say that Tauruses are 'thrifty and keeps a budget'. Which indirectly pokes us as major cheapskates HAHAHA! But i do admit i'm a cheapskate lah! Cannot help it! :P

And yesterday, i went to Watsons and saw that Silkygirl has released their new range of lip gloss! Instantly fell in love with them as the colors are so soft, nude and dollyyyyy! Tested them and swore to come back and get them soon. xD saves me money from buying the ever-expensive Candy Doll ones ohohoho! << Cheapskate syndrome.

Roasted alive!

Hmm, well not literally. But somewhat close! D:

So during the past weekend, i went for this camp organized by my school. The camp was situated at this rural-ish area with a beach nearby. I totally forgotten what's the name of the area cause it's really long! Something like Bakan Dala Seri Lelang or somewhere in between. O__O

Anyways, we had a lot of activities by the beach. And that means, a helluva time under the bright, warm sun. NOT. More like the scorching, burning sun! Since this is like a uniform body camp, it's more of a disciplined and somewhat strict camp than a calm and relaxing camp. So yeah, they even restricted time for us to bathe, eat, change clothes etc. I barely had time to apply sunblock, thus me getting really, really tanned. I was lucky to not getting sunburned cause i'm sure that hurts a lot. And i'm glad to have never experienced it yet. :o

I reached home at around 4pm on Sunday. After having a nice hot shower, unpacking and having some maggi mee, i drop dead on the bed at around 7pm. :P Making it one of my earliest bed time of all my life! (Y)

The next day at school, i got freaking lots of comment on me getting tan. Some even gave me the OAO face when i walked in class! Here are some of the annoying comments i got:

" WAHH! You got struck by lighting ah!"
" Did you like blew up the Bio lab last night?"
" OHHHH! You went sunbathing!"
" You look like a kakak. -__- "
" Did you put on the wrong foundation color?"

ETC!

Sighs.

Some close friends did cheer me up by saying stuff like "hitam manis" or "black beauty" lol. And one of them even came to a conclusion that i was really fair before, so even when i got a little tan it'll be quite obvious since others was to used to seeing me being fair. *w*

Oh, stop it you! >w<

But in reality, i did get really tanned. Comparison pics below!

Here's one with my arm. I know it's like super thick and big but anyways. The lighter part on the left is so-called my original skin color. But as i remembered, it got tanned once and just stayed like that and never got lighter.

Here comes the big diff! Darker one is my arm, lighter one is my thigh. So the skin color of my thigh is the original skin color when i was born. So fair ikr! :D I myself am shocked.

The next day, mom brought me on a shopping spree to help me get back to my original skin color. Spree includes a bottle of aloe vera gel and a shitload of masks.

This is just part of the masks i bought. Others are for whitening whereas the ones on top are like 'after sun care' masks. Now, the Garnier whitening lotion which i bought centuries ago will come to good use!
