My First Bloggers’ Meet

June 16, 2006January 14, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

We had a simple meet up with some Kuching’s bloggers. It’s supposed to be discussing something but became a bloggers meet. Only the four of us, me, Jimmy, Wilson and Frank. We had it at Point One, BDC. Never been there, it’s my first time there.

The interiors. Pretty dark in there.

Our drinks… I can’t remember how much. ;p Nothing much, we just talked talked talked, about 9.30pm, more and more poeple coming in and more and more noisy. It’s because the World Cup had started. So we left. So that’s all. Waiting for Wilson to send the gathering photos. Oh… Thanks for the drinks Wilson.

I Want Double Eyelids!

June 7, 2006August 18, 2007 sweet surrender 7 Comments

Don’t you hate it when your have double eyelids but then they don’t show because they’re in there? 🙁 And you don’t want to spend the money or guts to go for cosmetic surgery in Manhattan? So I bought this eyelid tapes from Guardian for RM5.80. There are 20 pairs in a pack.

How to use?
1. Make sure your eyelids are clean. This means, no eye cream too. Just clean bare skin.
2. Use a tweezer or your nails(if you have long nails) to lift the tape up. This is because if you use your finger, it might not be that stickable and not that transparent anymore.
3. Place it in between the fold of your eyelid and press it firmly but gently, so that you don’t introduce unwanted wrinkles around your eyes.
4. Apply eyeshadows to cover the tapes. It’s better if you use cream eyeshadows.
See the result!!! TADA!!!!

More… ehehhe… I know there are people waiting for these pictures ;p

AHHAHA… see the result ;p I have double eyelids now!!! Duh… I already had them just that it’s hidden. Now it’s shown. It looked bigger and it’s easier to apply mascara too.

The downside of it is that if you looked down or close/blink your eyes, the tape can be seen pretty clearly but some people didn’t notice it, depends on how observant that person is. Avoid looking down or blink too much if you don’t want people to know.

Not only that, frequent practice is required to achieve a better effect and avoid reapplying too often. Else it will not be that sticky anymore and the transparent-ness will gone. It’s used-and-throw. No recycling.

Oh… for those that do not have double eyelids can also achieve the double eyelids effect with these tapes. Here’s how according to Cleo March 2006 issue, apply on the lids about half a centimetre above lashline or where you desire you eyelids to fall. Then follow the steps above. So that’s how you can easily and affordably get double eyelids.

Enjoy my photos 😛

I’m Married!

June 6, 2006 sweet surrender No Comments

It’s said that today is the day of devils but it’s also a day of many people tying their knots.

LOL… Me? Since when? Just pulling your legs. It’s Ann! She’s the one that exclaimed this ;p I’m just her witness. The whole process was FAST! We had not got into the mood and everything was done LOL… Jimmy and I reached Teochew Association at 2pm. Jimmy was the appointed photographer ;p but all the pic you see here were taken by me ehhehe… except the family pic, this is because all pictures taken by him were in Ann’s camera and some obstructions of view from the angle of the photographer. Then waited for Eric, Jee’s witness to come so that we can get the number. Finally he’s here and the number got was 005… too fast!!! Ehehehe… slower a bit will be 006, and it will 6 all the way ;p

The rings and the couple.

Me and Ann, Jee and Eric. Camwhore a bit while waiting ;p

One for the album with Jee’s and Ann’s family. Arggg.. my hair looked big! It’s time to trim! AHAHAAH…
<>br
It’s time! 005!
The signing ceremony was conducted in Mandarin, Jee and Ann were blurred with what the officer was talking about LOL… actually me too. Couldn’t catch what he said. It sounded something like this:

Officer: Mr. Jee, are you here without anyone forcing you?
Jee: Yes.
Office: Ms. Chung, are you here wihtout anyone forcing you?
Ann: Yes.
Officer: Mr. Jee, are you willing to take Ms. Chung as you wife *blah blah*…
Jee: Yes.
Officer: Ms. Chung, are you willing to take Mr. Jee as you husband *blah blah*…
Ann: Yes.
Officer: Now I pronounce you husband and wife. You are legally married and this will for your lifetime. During this period of time, you are not allow to marry again.*blah blah*…

DONE! Sign Sign sign… 3 copies to sign for the 4 of us.

The certificates.

After signing, it’s done and allowed to go but the couple wanted to exchange rings, so the officer let it be. Wow… Big diamond!! How many carat?

Then, Ann’s grandmather(her mom’s side) congratulated them and told them to love each and take care of each other. Then, she handed them "ang paos".

After "ang poas", she gave Ann a gold bracelet. Next… you can see for yourself.

Everything’s done. This was taken outside the room.

All the best to you, Ann! Congrates! Looking forward to 9th July for the tea ceremony and the reception 🙂

Gawai BBQ – Alysha’s House

June 1, 2006 sweet surrender No Comments

Alysha was having a BBQ session at her place. So went over before 6pm to help up but then the person in charge of the grill only turned up about 45 minutes later. So nothing much we could do, we just lazed around while waiting for him.

Finally… the guys started to make fire with newspapers. The charcoals we used were made from coconut shells. This is the first time I came across coconut shell charcoals. When it’s burnt, there some sort of weird smell produced. Not so sure how to describe it but ewwwwwww… hate that smell ;p

Fried mee hoon by Yin Mei.
Paul in charge of the BBQ ;p because we were all too lazy, we only want to eat but didn’t want to work hahaah…

Later in the evening, Alysha‘s parents bought fried noodle and fried mee hoon for us because worried that the food wasn’t enough for 12 of us but who knows… just two chicken wings, some hotdogs and a plate of fried mee hoon from Yin Mei, we were full.

Not to forget Alysha’s parents also bought some corns back for us to BBQ. Yummy, I love BBQ corn. The corn was sweet. Then we had dessert, ice cream with cones. Corn and cone? ;p The orange portion of the ice cream is mango, purple is yam and yellow is corn(I think…) or durian hahaha…

After that, we started our karaoke session ;p Paul and Jimmy hogged the mic most of the time. Most people didn’t want to sing and guess what songs we sang the whole night? Sad love songs… strange huh?
