Ooops I did it again.

Yes I did it yet again.
If you're wondering, what did she do this time round?
Fall on her face?
Buy more shoes? Buy more rings? More lipstick?
Well, no surprise there cos yes I DID do all of the above.

But what's more important here is, again, I had ignored my blog.
I just realised it's almost 2 months since I last updated here.
If my blog can talk, it'll just complain that it's being
'di-anak-tirikan' time and time again.
Lol. That sounds so funny all a sudden cos it sounds like some of the common whining celebrities or wannabes.
Anywaaaaaaaaaaaay, it's 2 months!!
Since my last post on jackets, I've been busy worrying about so many things.
All of a sudden, there were events to attend, photoshoots to do, extra deadline, basically extra stuff.
But no one's complaining. In fact I love being busy.
I remembered a senior DJ telling me, being busy is good. Cos that means I've got a job.
After working for years now, I just realised I'm actually happiest when I'm very busy.

On top of that, I was occupied with my meetups with close friends and occupied with my weight worry.
And at that point of time, the weight-worry just intensified due to the impending APM 2011.
You see my friends, I love to eat. The problem is things that I love to eat are all fattening.
You name it, I love it.
Chicken skin, chocolate, bubble tea, milkshake, ice-cream, cheese cake, rice, the list goes on.
Annnnnnd the problem is not only because it's fattening. Another problem is I eat lots of it. Plus on a daily basis somemore.
How like dat???
Then I decided, I need to run. Errr, not the lari rumah kind of thing.
I can't cut down on food since I love it too much. It'll be depressing.
So I decided I need to exercise. And that just adds on to my need-to-do list for the past month.

Therefore my friends, this post is just to explain why I have not blogged for almost 2 months now.
See u again in a random post soon.
And when i say soon, I promise it will not be in 2 months' time.


lots of love, hugs, kisses and chocolate,

OMG That's an awesome jacket. Be still my heart.

I love jackets. Have I ever said that?

I have an absolute weakness for jackets. I think currently I have about 7 black jackets and that’s excluding my numerous black cardigans.

I remembered about 2 years ago when high padded tops came back to fashion, I went scrambling to find it. And my first few power-shouldered tops came from Bangkok cos they had it there before Singapore!

Then early last year when I was so into Seo In Young, I love her look and what she wore for her song Vari2ty that I searched everywhere for that similar looking jacket. I kept on swooning and swooning over her jacket everyday.

Yes I’m mental like that.

I get strange motivation from strange things.

Back to jackets, after an island wide search, I found it in Zara!

I think my heart was so bursting with happiness, I actually glowed. I felt true love there and then.

It's crazy but I had to tell my heart to be still cos it was pumping in an overdrive mode.

The only thing was the price tag. $259.

With the jacket in my hand, I walked back and forth thinking when and how will I wear the jacket since it’s so hot in Singapore. Will it be worth it then since I can only wear it twice or thrice if the weather and situation permits? But then to leave it alone on the hanger and me going back to my sleepless nights, my heart cannot take it. And as they say, love prevails all.

I got it. And I love it.

A fortnight later, I saw a jacket at Dorothy Perkins that will make Michael Jackson proud.

On a side note, I’m a massive fan of Michael’s fashion. Did you watch ‘This Is It’? Everything he wore during his rehearsals was flawless! Love every single jacket he wore. If you're thinking, how come I'm looking only at what he wore and not what he sang, Yes his performance moved me and so did his jackets.

Ok ok, Back to my jacket over at DP, while I was fawning over it thinking how awesome it’d be if I were to have it, my friend came over and said, “Fiza, don’t tell me you’re thinking of getting it. Where are u going to wear it to?” That made so much so sense so I left it at that.

But 2 weeks later I came back and got it.

The other jackets had their own story to it. Although not too drama.

Saying I LOVE my jackets is an understatement.

My friends, *drumroll* now I shall present to these awesome jackets worn by my favourite celebrities.

Studs and leather = lethal 

Who else can wear it better than THE man? 

This power-shouldered jacket worn by VB plain awesome, nuff said.

And u know, if I had my way, and all the moolah in the world, I will get these jackets for myself.

Can you imagine, how my heart wrenches, how my soul is tormented, seeing these jackets but never having them.

lots of love,

fiza your drama queen

My 1st ever makeup review! Taaaadaaaa!

Just last weekend I was at the expo for work and bumped into a friend that was having a stall there and was selling makeup and clothes and etc. And I was very interested in the makeup that was being sold cos my friend said that the brand was being used by some Indonesian artistes.
And that was it.
Enough to convince me to buy it. The brand is SARIAYU. Have u heard of it? Well, it was my first time hearing about it.
So i bought some lipsticks, blusher and eyeshadow palette. Each costs $26.70 but I got a good discount!

The blusher palette. It's very small actually and there's a mini brush given but the brush is not good. The colour is pretty good as it's slightly glittery and gives you the shimmery glow. Not loving it, cos the colour doesn't really stay for long.

 Next is the eyeshadow palette that comes in 3 colours : dark bronze, pink, and off-white. All 3 are very shimmery and comes with a very weak applicator. Among the 3, white is the most pigmented and pink is the bleargh one. The colour does not really come out. The white is excellent to highlight your browbone and for the inner of your eyes. Nice. I've done swatches of the colours on my hand below.

Overall I think, it's just ok. Nothing that stops u in your tracks. As for the 2 lipsticks that I bought: No. 01 and 02. There were no samples for me to try so I just bought the 2 colours. And after testing the colours, I decided it wasn't really my type.

No 01 : pink with red undertones

No 02 : orangey nude.

Pretty hard to describe so I've made a swatch of the colours below.

So yes, since I know that I will not be using both of it, I decided to just give these lipsticks away.

All you have to do is tell me what's the makeup brand that u like and why?
Maybe, for example u love the eyeliner from so-and-so brand, cos it's good and reasonably priced.
Email to me at fizao897@gmail.com and don't forget your contact no :)
I'll choose the best email and pass the lipsticks to you. That's it!

And i'll be updating this post once I've chosen THAT girlfriend!

love,
fiza

Update:
The winning girlfriend is Fatin Azizi! Congrats girlfriend! Your lippies are on the way.

Thank u to all the girlfriends who sent in your awesome entries. Unfortunately I only have a pair to give away.

love,
fiza

My hair is a mess

That's right. My hair is in an official mess. I don't know what to do with it.
I've had short hair for so long now that I cant remember how I look like in long hair.
Plus friends have been telling me I look better in short hair. So i guess inadvertently, they're saying I look awful in long hair. Not that I get upset about it. But it's just that I feel like doing something different. And everytime I want to try to grow it out, I ended up cutting it shorter than ever.
Now every morning, I dread to think what else can I do with it.
Blow dry it? Just put on a hairband? Force it into a mini ponytail? Wear my beanie again? Put on a cap?
Seriously. This is a big bimbo dilemma.
But a dilemma nonetheless.
My hair is at it's hopeless stage right now.
As a prove:

Even my scarve can't help my hair.

This headband is a best friend during last resort moments.

I wanted a different look kan? So now, I got what I wanted. Thanks to this overgrown hair that's not here, not there, I have a different look everytime I go to work.
Sometimes, I look like a mushroom, sometimes I look like my hair has got too much current and most of the times I look like a prata head. So be careful of what u wish for.

And now, I'm contemplating to cut or not. To cut or not. And it doesn't help that I saw this old pic of VB and her fabulous short hair. I wannnnnnnt!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Kak Victoria, I berkenan sangat dengan rambut you.

To end this ramblings of mine, here's a picture of me in my not-overgrown-hair.
I miss my old hair! Sob!

Over-doing it?

It's normal to be crossing the street and turning your head when someone attractive walks past you.
Probably it's the chic outfit, the healthy hair, that height, the chiseled jawline, the air surrounding him or her, the way he/she walks or just probably the way they sway and dart their eyes. It's either or, or a combination of everything that I've just said. My girlfriends and I were hanging out really late one night and suddenly one of us mentioned about a girl that was opposite us when we were crossing the road. She was attractive and eating ice cream. Nothing spectacular really.
But what we discussed was how she knows she was attractive and made sure people were looking at her. The way she held the ice cream cone was like how you see the Bond ladies hold their glasses during their cocktail parties. (really, was that even necessary?)
The way she flipped her hair and the glance she gave to people crossing the street. So yes, she did all that within seconds of crossing the road.
The point is, her every move was calculated. Too rehearsed it was bordering on arrogance.
Then the other day, I was with a buddy when a girl that was known for being cocky strutted into the cafeteria, he turned to me to ask who was that.
'Oh it's ******', I answered. 'Why?'
'Oh nothing, it's just that she looks attractive,' he answered.

And I've seen guys with similar swagger, the way they stand with their shoulders squared, the confidence, the way they try drawl and maintain that intense gaze and yada yada. Sure they do look attractive at the first glance. But then it's all too rehearsed.
Basically, trying too hard to exude a certain charisma.
I don't know. You either have charisma or you don't. You can't fake it.
Where do YOU see the line between confidence and just plain over-doing it aka cockiness?

randomly yours,
fiza

Cepat Tepat 2011 FINALS

It's been so long since I last updated my blog. I am shocked.
I thought it was only a few weeks. But it's been more than a month.
The last one was like 27th Feb! Another thing to add to my 'under-achiever' list.

I wanted to talk bout James Franco but then, this pictures and videos are already collecting dust in my SD card. So before, I forget yet again, I MUST do this now.
(Cos, I've someone hawking over me and forcing me to it)

Pretending to be script-reading for the sake of a photo.

Me before makeup by Kak Norehan :)

Yes, that's how the contestants look like on tv

 And that's how I look like on TV.

And, that is such a tak perlu punya statement.

 I love this pic. Because I look so blurred and so background.

Ok that was it. I actually have a lot more photos to load from the previous Cepat tepat rounds, but that'll have to wait. And since I have nothing else creative to say at this juncture, i'll just end the post here.

The lipstick colour I've worn for years

I'm going to randomly do a super short entry on my lipcolor.
Over the years, I've gotten a fair bit of requests from friends and listeners and tv viewers who asked what kind of lipstick that I usually have on.
And so, I've decided to answer it all here.
Well I started buying this lipstick since 2003 and have used it for like the longest time ever. I've also recommended it to some friends. I love, love, love it.
And like all MAC lipsticks, it just smell and taste SO good!

Well, it's a nude pink colour from MAC called Satin Spirit.
Below, you can have a rough gauge of how the shade is like.

So there you have it.
But since the past year, I have been experimenting with lots of other brighter colours.
And i'll do another post on it :)
Till then, love you gfs!


love,
