So just before 11am this morning, we all gathered at the closed hall and the teachers announced the names of the students who scored straight A+ and straight As. I knew I wasn't one of them so I was already somewhat emotionally prepared. So according to the teachers, there are 6 students who scored A+ and 53 who scored straight As! That is impressive! And rumour has it, my school, SMK Kota Kemuning obtained the best results in Selangor! I am so proud of myself and everyone!!! 

Anyway, when they announced the last student who obtained straight As, I started tearing up because I felt like I disappointed my parents but tried hiding it from my mom who was just sitting next to me and my dad was standing outside the hall. 

The second I stepped out of that hall, I just broke down. I felt like a failure. My dad tried to calm me down and I did eventually. After that we made our way to the other end of the hall to collect my result slip. The teacher handed me my slip and congratulated me. I had no idea how I did because I flipped over my slip and continued signing some paper she handed me. Then she congratulated me again and I finally saw my slip and just cried. 

"One of the best results in class" she said. I was honestly so surprised I had that many As! I was only expecting 3/4A's. Of course I was surprised! Alhamdulillah! So grateful!


Update: It is the 23rd of March and I just got home from Sunway with a MacBook as an SPM gift hehe. I can finally revamp my blog yesss!

YOU GUYS, I HAVE A BURNING DESIRE TO GET MY HANDS ON MAKEUP BRUSHES UGH!!! 

Hi! Ok before I get onto my rant about the makeup brushes, my cat is just adorable!! I discovered that he loves Greek yogurt! He would creep up to me and tries to lick my bowl of yogurt! And sometimes after I'm done, I would leave my bowl aside and he would lick the rest of the yogurt. It's so cute!!!! 

(And no I dont think yogurt is bad for cats)

Okay now onto my rant. I'm definitely lusting over makeup brushes! There are 3 brands of brushes I want to get my hands on; Real Techniques, Zoeva and Sigma. I posted something similar to this not too long ago but ugh I want brushes. I want to start a decently huge makeup collection! I definitely don't wanna have collections as big as my favourite beauty gurus but just something "appropriate" for a college student's budget lol. 

I'm pretty sure I'll be purchasing my very first Sigma brush real soon, next week maybe heheh. I so hope it won't go out of stock by next week since it's a very popular brush and because the 15% off coupon code I have is about to expire :(  

Guess what brush it is?! Yup, the very popular F80 flat top kabuki brush! I'm so excited! Oh and I'm gonna be getting this off of Luxola! As I said in my previous post, I am so glad I discovered Luxola! I do think the prices are a little all over the place sometimes but I love the site! 

Then maybe a few months after I get over the guilt of spending RM74 for a brush, I might actually take the plunge and get tons of Real Techniques brushes. I know spending 74 bucks for a makeup brush may be "normal" for some of makeup lovers out there but I don't poop out money okay :p

I've been wanting them for forever since it is so affordable! I'm planning to get them on iherb.com since it does ship worldwide. I am so excited!!

I also want the Sigma Mrs. Bunny travel essential kit or just the full kit itself. It is SO CUTE! It has blue handles with silver/pink ferrules. I may or may not want it just because of the pretty colours ;)

I cannot wait to have them all! I'm pretty sure I'll be super content for a very long time once I have these!

xx 

Happy 21st birthday, Marc! Cheers to the new season! May the best rider win the title this year 😊

So guess what I've been doing last weekend? Browsing through online shops, duh! I discovered Luxola.com and I am so glad I did. This site carries Sigma brushes, Zoeva, Sleek Makeup and so many more for such a good deal. They also offer free shipping if you spend over rm40, which made me sign up for the site immediately. I already know what I want to purchase first; Zoeva face brush set (not exact name). I have heard SO MANY great reviews about Zoeva brushes. The set I want is about RM200 for 6 brushes, which I think is such a good deal! 

Want. The. Zoeva. Brushes. Bad.

In case you're not familiar with Zoeva, it's a German brand. They make super amazing quality brushes & are so affordable! They have vegan brushes too, which I love! They also have this beautiful rose gold set which looks so luxurious! 

I have also been seriously lusting over Real Techniques brushes. They're so cute and quite affordable too! It just sucks how local beauty supply stores/local online shops sell them for almost three times than what it actually costs! I get so irritated when I see the prices. It's only USD18 for the sets, which is only around RM60! But stores here sell them for from RM90-145! Americans do not know how lucky they are when it comes to makeup! Everything there is so affordable! They also have a huge variety of colours/shades. I'm envious at the fact that they have a shop like Ulta there. I've googled pictures of Ulta to see how it looks like and oh my god, it's like paradise on earth for someone like me! 

Oh and I'm so bummed out because I'm running out of my Dream Cream from Lush. Can't repurchase them because there's no Lush stores in Malaysia. Dream Cream is literally the best lotion ever! It absorbs into my skin so fast & the greasy feeling just goes away after an hour or two. I usually smear it all over my arms and legs before bedtime. The next morning, my skin will feel so soft and smooth! When will Lush land on Malaysian soil?! Their products are so good! 

I want to start something on my blog - Wishlist Wednesday - a post where I talk about what I'm currently lusting for at that moment. Since it is Wednesday, I'll get on with the first Wishlist. 

So yeah, there you go :) x

PS: I really, really want the Real Techniques' Brushes 

Not only that, education is bloody expensive. So kudos to you if you're paying your fees with your own money. I don't know anyone who is doing so but in the beauty community on YouTube, there are so many of them! I dont know how they do it! It's just too expensive. But then again, they WORK for YouTube. Obviously they do get paid big bucks. Still, i admire people like them. So independent. 

As for the college I'm interested in? Yeah, not a clue. I initially wanted Taylor's but the cost is expensive. I'm only interested in Monash because after falling completely in love with Melbourne, I've made it a goal to study there and I feel like with Monash, I can just transfer to their Monash University in the city. But then there's INTI that offers a wonderful programme that's rather affordable. They have this Foundation in Business IT program where after doing that, I'd be transferring to University of Wollongong in Australia. Plus, the second intake for foundation isn't an accelerated & intense programme unlike Taylor's SAM or Sunway's AUSMAT/MUFY, if I were to take a later intake, it'd be an intensive programme. Knowing myself, I dont do well with "intensive studying". 

So yeah, that's basically it with my life. I can't believe I'm actually writing about college and studying overseas. I feel like it was just yesterday when I wrote about how sad it is when the guy I like didn't notice my efforts to impress him or how my clothes were too tight on me or anything ridiculous and embarrassing really. Time just flies so fast. I can't believe in just two years, I might be living on my own in a whole different country. Really looking forward to what the future holds for me. 

So yeah I guess I'm done for now. Have a wonderful day! xx 

Anyway, I still am going through post-holiday depression. I left my heart in Melbourne, the most wonderful city I've ever seen. Speaking of Melbourne, I bought quite a number of things while i was there (especially on Boxing Day) and I thought I'd haul it to you guys, that is if I do have any readers on this old thing. Let's get started!

On the first day I was there, I bought a pair of basic black high-top or high-cut sneakers for $30 from Rubi shoes. 

I think they're all so pretty! I love them!

I was on the road for the next few days so I didn't buy anything fun. And then came Boxing Day, a wonderful day for shopaholics/bargain hunters like yours truly ;) My first purchase of the day was an inspired version of the Celine trapeze from Colette. It wasn't on sale but when I first laid eyes on it, I wanted to get it immediately! It was so pretty! 

Sorry for the bad lighting in the photo. My brother refused to help me hold it up so I could get a good picture. I love how the bag has texture - a mix of faux leather and probably faux suede too! Love love love! 

Next was Diva and oh my god, the deals they had were incredible! I bought a necklace for only $5 from $25!!! I saved $20 (RM60)! The rings I got were $4 from $10! I dont have a picture of them though, so sorry about that! 

The next things are from Sportsgirl! Just a couple of pretty phone cases. 

I went to Lush too, a store I've been dying to go since my addiction to the beauty community of YouTube started! I bought a bag (or two hehe) worth of things from the my new favourite store. I love how it smells when I walked in. So fresh. 

Zing set - Orange soap and their Rub Rub Rub shower scrub, which I've been meaning to get for awhile now! I also got their It Started With a Kiss lip tint. Yay to the new addition to my collection of lip products hehe. I got their Dragon's Egg bath ballistic and Dorothy bubble bar, which are SO PRETTY. 

Dragon's Egg!
