And also try remaking the kosui which came up as somewhat a failure the last time round. hmmm~
This was the fruit tart I made the last time round. I miss my pie dish from home. Baking in ceramic dish seems to have a different turnout. I think I need to re do it and see what's wrong.. or worst come to worst. just get myself my own aluminium spriing form pie dish...
This was the second time I did this fruit tart.. the first time i did it was about 3yrs back for mother's day. the topping was strawberry though instead of orange.. =)
Truthfully, baking is at times an expensive affair. LOL~!

Ignorantly Random.
I wished I was ignorant about things.
And the naivety and ignorance of my face matches the depth of my knowledge. Then I would constantly be bouncing on a cloud of happy.

Father's Day
I didn't realise it was Father's day today till I received a txt from someone reminding me that. Why? Coz I remembered in my entire life, there was only one father's day where I was present, he was present.
During that point of time, I was always excited of having days like this. You behave, you bathe early and smell good and dress nice waiting for your parents / dad to come home and then you can give present, smile for the picture and receive the kisses and tickles that come along with it and then you think to yourself, you have to be the luckiest girl in the world. It happened once when I can remember. Its like christmas morning or the morning of your birthday.
But every year I behaved, every year I fell asleep waiting. And then, I grew up and decide not to look forward to such childish fantasies anymore. And soon, I start forgetting.
I just hope that who knows eventually hopefully maybe one day I do get married and eventually hopefully maybe one day I may have children. For him to show them how much he loves them, even if it is more then he loves me.
And I hope that every year they will always have smiles plastered on their faces by their father; at least once a year.
Happy Father's Day.
ha.

Things that make me burst out laughing PART 2~!
on why, we're so shy when we see each other face to face....
°· her royal freshness ·° says: eh yah hor. why we so shy?!-
::Nadira Putri::- Turn the lights low says: you la!
°· her royal freshness ·° says: wahaahah
-::Nadira Putri::- Turn the lights low says: smile smile at me then i smile smile back lor lol!
°· her royal freshness ·° says: or so now I'm like a retarded old woman lah!
Its times like this...
THAT I BURST OUT LAUGHING IN THE LIBRARY!
-::Nadira Putri::- Turn the lights low says: you sound good too..lol!! why so happy today?
°· her royal freshness ·° says: ah....what a shame haha am tryin to act extra happy, hoping my brain'll catch it too it's a pretty dull day lah how's the weather there!
-::Nadira Putri::- Turn the lights low says: hmmm the weather? pre-menstrual! cant seem to decide to be cold or hot
°· her royal freshness ·° says: ooo maybe you shld talk to it and offer coffee okay that's lame haha
-::Nadira Putri::- Turn the lights low says: i am speechless!!!! WAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
°· her royal freshness ·° says: I wld be too if I were you! wahahah
E.M.P.T.I.N.E.S.S.
Its silent and deafening isn't it?
Or maybe its just me staying alone on the hills is silent and deafening? hmmz...
one thing i will miss once i move down from Eden Hills will be this scenario:
You walking along the dark streets with the street lamps approximately 250m away from the other, the cold wind hitting your face like a pack of ice, humming away to make some noise in the totally loud silence. You can feel your nose ice cold and can imagine yourself looking like rudolf, then you will unconsciously grin to yourself.
Then you will take in a deep breathe. The refreshing smell of trees, the coolness of the night and also a certain comfort. You inhale again, and you smell the faint scent of burnt wood. The air cool with a mix of slightly warmer air as you past each house and see the chimney busily smoking away.
You allow yourself to imagine of snuggling up in front of the fire place with hot tea or hot chocolate with a blanket around you and a book in hand or having a really interesting conversation with someone close. And after a long day? it seemed perfect.
Its the smell of comfort of a cosy kitchen on a cold night.
and you stand in the middle of the streets and look up and you see the stars like a blanket of diamonds in the sky. You just stand there for the next 15 minutes and observe the wonders of god and 10 degrees on your right, you'll see the moon. Equally magnificent.
Both looking larger then what i've seen back home... its like as though you could pluck the wonders of the sky and keep it in your pocket for your own personal treasure.
Its small wonders like these that seemed etched in your mind.
Then I realise, i cherish all the smaller things non existent things like this more then anything else.
Personal treasures. Simple pleasures. Perfect memories.

*SCREAMS*
Time Check: 7:30am.
I've been up for days but i haven't been doing much. no its not coz i didnt know how to do this like my previous essay...
This time round, its just procrastination. yup.
Procrastination is every student's best friend. I should be finished with my essay by now lor! haiz. Its not even that hard to begin with.. but noooo i did EVERYTHING ELSE then to do this essay. haiyo.
So for now, I'm half done. -.-"
*Applauds* I've always had this version in my MP3 but i wasn't aware that it was all him. LOL!

This pic made me burst out laughing!
She has now proceeded to put the both of us in a relationship on fb!

Of Warm Fuzzies & Sharpened Knives.
See the irony in the title? ha.
Anywayz, my cousins drove into Singapore on thursday night. Did I tell you that my aunt from Netherlands is in Singapore as well? Yup. She'll be there for a year which means when I come back here she'll still be there... *shudders*
SO. I was talking about my cousins ya? One of the many things they miss now in my absence is my credit card... -.-" Such love rite?! idiots.
They found me online when I was about to get ready to leave the house to go central market! LOL!!
(YA! I JUST FINISHED BATHING WHEN SHE CAUGHT ME!)
They obviously just woke up.
And they proceeded in watching me get ready! i have pervs for cousins.
(Salam Sayang dari Australia! khekhekeh)
They showed me kinky!!! Kinky's so fat now. haiz. MISS THEM! I MISS TIGER MORE! But i was staring at tiger's face too much to actually remember taking her pic when my cousins presented her on the webcam. heh.
Ya. They're always done the most retarded stuff. Especially baby.
This pic was apparently for angah to share with australia his morning breath which his sisters were screaming about at the point of time of this picture.
Soulja boy inspired... eh angah? lol!
Its interesting how pple get closer despite the oceans. We've never been this close before. Suddenly me and baby are talking everyday when we've never done that before. Doesn't help that Baby is the furthest from the siblings since she's in Uni in KL rite now.
Mawar isn't in the pic coz she's in putrajaya, she got posted there for work now. So much for wanting to die die stay in Melaka. LOL! but ya.. They've been buzzing me online on a daily basis.
Hypocrisy pisses me off. I shouldnt still be pissed. But, I am. It still pisses me off everytime it crosses my mind. I swear I'm not gonna be in a good mood during fencing next week.
Some double headed snake. Fuck you. seriously. Fuck you.
What wrong have I ever done to you? I've always had my suspicions of you. Pple tell me that you'll always be like that. And I thought that we grew up. People change. That's the reason why I talked when you prompt me online.
Seems like I'm the only one that grew up huh? I should have known better. But you know wat? I really dont have the energy for this shit anymore. I really don't.
I really should stop giving people second chances. People, they've never appreciated me have they? They've always have been taking advantage of my kindness huh? fuck off. seriously.
Stop acting so angelic. Look in the fucking mirror and you'll see what you truly are. You say things just because. Pple have told me I'm worth more than this than to waste my time about people like fucking you. Ya. I should have listen.
I'm worth more than this.
---------------------------------------
I think I'm falling sick. I constantly have the urge of wanting to vomit.
I don't know whether is it becoz i'm stressed, tired or wat...

Hear The Whispers of My Heart...
I was grateful for company yesterday. I've been tired and way out of it. I was craving for company... I want someone to be around, talk to, laugh with or just be there even when I sleep. I got that yesterday.
Being here alone, i miss human contact. I miss receiving hugs just because. I miss being hugged when i'm sleeping, I miss being hugged when I'm cold, I miss being hugged just to give me a certain warmth... I miss having someone I can tell that I have stomachache and they would rub my tummy till i fall aslp...
I've been having dreams. Nightmares. Some woke me up gasping for air and in tears, some woke me up in shock and some woke me up and i just smile sadly to the ceiling.
I'm disappointed in myself, for not being able to move as fast as...
I'm disappointed in myself, for taking this long and still not being able to.
I should be angry with myself rite? yeah... maybe i should be.
Coz who knows, I was nothing before... nothing at all?
Of lies and deceptions. I have been the biggest fool in this entire situation have I not?
But even after all this, I still do... How's that? There must be something really wrong with my head, my heart, with me.
Mary: You know it wouldn't hurt so much if I didn't love him. I wished there was a pill I could take to make love go away...
Mother: Why would you wanna make it go away? Its difficult to come by in the first place.
Quote from Movie: The Women
Bbbut.. I've never found you wrong despite knowing the things that you did not think I knew. After all the things we've put each other through... some honesty would be good tho.
To take one step at a time There's no need to rush It's like learning to fly, or falling in love It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen And we find the reasons why One step at a time
So even a song suggests, time? ha.
To you: I'm sorry I rejected you about 4mths back.... i guessed we should have just gave it a shot since at least I knew you cared more about me then I ever will for you. That should be it ritE?
But we didn't and I hurt you instead.. So i'm sorry.
so for now...
i'm
Single, Unavailable and looking (if you'll consider.)
Btw, just bare in mind what you're getting yourself into. This girl, doesnt believe in love.
Oh and if you want my heart? I gave it to a certain someone and its still there for safekeeping. You want it? Please call him to arrange for an interview appointment. This interview will determine if you're even worth my time. I'm sorry to say that decision is left solely to the interviewer's discretion.
No matter how much they've tried pulling me away...
somehow...
it seems that...
i cant.
haiz. dear god, is this wrong? it is, isnt it?

This is the longest i've been trying to finish a damn essay. I've been at this stupid thing since last wednesday and I have now asked my tutor for an extension in which he gave me an extra 24hours. Like thanks rite? the least he could do was to give me a more comfortable timing rite? like 48hours or wat.
I think he hates me. Yup. My classmate got a week. hmph~!
So I am still up typing this thing.. finishing soon... and deena is online. Finally i've managed to talk to her online since she's back in singapore and recovered from fever!
and i like this portion of the conversation.
deen: SUPERWOMAN says: u doin ur essay ah?
-::Countess Dee::- [Rising from the ashes] says: no la.. i plucking flowers
and i like how she just ignore the sarcasm and continued talking as if i wasnt doing my essay... LOL!

In the midst of pulling my hair,
Don't worry. I'm not bald yet... My hair is too thick for it to go bald within one assignment.
I managed to smile thanks to 2 different people tonight. One was about 6hrs ago and the other was 1min ago.
Thanks so much! for keeping me sane~
Loves~

Deena can you call me later or something? Thanks!

Maybelline Gel Liner / Eyestudio
Yup this is the thing as I was referring too in my previous post and as Hally requested, this is a review.
I've been using this thing close to a year and I'm still at the same pot that I bought close to a year ago. There's a reason why this product became no. 1 product in Japan when it was first launched.
What are my thoughts on this product?
1. APPLICATION - The brush is soft (therefore the bristles do not hurt your eyes upon application) and the gel is smooth... Therefore, its easy to apply.
2. MOISTURE - Like I say its been with me for the past yr and it has not dried up the way other brands have dried up on my friends... In particular, Deena's Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner.. In the period of my one pot (which is still not finished) Deena already replaced hers twice coz it dried up... lol!
3. PRICE - Its Maybelline... How expensive can it get? Its about time pple reach out to the masses yo!
4. COLOURS - It comes in 4 colours... But I'm not sure whether Singapore has all the colours the other countries have... When I bought it 2 days after it was launched, Singapore only had black and brown. The colours of this thing is rich! The black is jet black, the brown is alittle darker than a milk chocolate brown, the purple is plum and the blue or was it green? watever it is.. its rich..
5. CONVENIENCE - The pot is small and the brush is slim, its able to fit into a standard size make-up bag.
6. UPKEEPING - The gel comes off easily with just a wipe of a normal facial wipe or any make up remover. You dont have to use an oil-based make-up remover. So... That's what you do with the brush... Wipe it with your facial wipe or any of your make up remover to maintain the bristles, preferably after every use... If you dont then your bristles will harden and it'll be like poking your eye with a needle! lol.. but that doesnt mean it cant be removed once its harden.. it still can... quite easily actually.
7. VERSATILITY - Since application is with a brush, you control the thickness of your application if you intend to apply it to your upper lid and you could also smudge it for your classic smoky look... It works fine on your waterline as well..
Conclusion:
I dont really have much complains about this product. I guess some who have never tried a moisture rich eyeliner will fine it alittle sticky after applying it... but you'll get used to it after awhile... I find it quite long lasting even though it is not waterproof. I suspect retouching would be after 6 -10hours depending on individual's skin type.
Basically, i think this is a worthy investment and a great addition to anyone's make up kit. =)
Hally, I hope this review is sufficient.. lol! Anything else you want me to comment on? LOL!
I think...
I'm PMSING~
I cant seem to start and finish my readings for my essays.. sheesh..
Its 2 weeks before the exams and then its school hols.. hols will be coming slightly early for me i think.. well at least.. i hope!
I can't believe I've missed episodes of Merlin! Its sunday 6.30pm Nad!
My Maybelline gel eyeliner is finishing! actually it lasts quite long.. lol! I bought it the day it was launched in Singapore coz well.. I've been eyeing it since the day they launched it in Canada! WAHAHHAHAHA~! yes yes, I'm one of those idiots...
ANYWAYZ, it stays moist till now! unlike Deena's Bobbi Brown eyeliner which dries up! Such a waste of money lor that one... hahahaha.. so Deena, lesson learnt.. Not everything expensive means good ok?! WAHHAHHAHAHAHA. BUT. I have yet to see it in Australia...
There's a few things which I'm eyeing as well but due to the lack of internet connection here... I am unable to track it the way I could in Singapore.. BLEARGH~
