Blogging with comic isn't that easy

So you might notice,

I like to draw.

I use to draw a lot on scrap paper when I was in highschool. 

Something like this.

Though the above drawing was quite recent,

my old drawings were mostly like that,

only eyes, half a face.

I would cut up the scrap paper at home

and make it into a small booklet tied together with raffia string,

chuck it in my school bag, and bring it to school everyday.

I never finished using any of them.

Because being the typical me,

I keep losing them.

Now I've transferred to drawing on my own face instead.

Because drawing on paper is too mainstream.

Comic version of myself.

I still doodle on the back of receipts sometimes.

You know, because office jobs could get pretty boring sometimes. 

As you can see, 

my drawing style is a little more detailed + anime version.

Too much details, takes too much time.

I did try to use Adobe Illustrator.

But in the end, it takes MORE time to just do 1 simple panel.

Because I have yet to really learn the skills.

And I suck at matching colours.

I did think of venturing into comic blogging for about 2 weeks.

But the thing about comic blogging
is how to making long, long posts
into short, concise (and funny) stories.

Which is what I suck at.
I need teachers.

Who better to learn all that from
than our rising comic bloggers
Chee Ching and Ernest over a good cup of coffee and some food from CAFFeine?
=D

Nuffnang is holding their first ever Comic Bloggers Gathering,
and Chee Ching and Ernest will both be there to let us bore them with stupid questions.

Like everyone else who wants to go,
I have questions that I want to ask.
I have stories I want to hear.
I have inspirations that I want to get inspired by.

But most of all,
I want to draw on a canvas wall.

Just kidding.

Okay I lied.

I do wanna draw on the canvas wall,
but I want to know their secret (if they choose to share) to success.

How they started and where do they intend to go.
Where will they see themselves in the future?
Animation? Or comic books?

and other questions...

I'm curious.

And also, I want to know if I ever do venture into comic blogging,
who are the competition I need to take out.
Because I could only imagine that the people who are there
are the ones who are interested in comic blogging too.

*flashes knife*

So to bribe you,
here's another hand drawn comic version of myself.
Also drawn on the back of a receipt. 

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

Storytelling through beauty

So,

thanks to JQ, a few of us were invited to this event

by Yuberactive- Storytelling through beauty.

And we were spoiled with Sally Hansen and Rimmel London products to play with!! X)

Mirrors, mirrors everywhere!!

Before the whole makeup thing,

we had a little introduction on Yuberactive and one of the causes they're supporting.

The girl on the right, Jia Yee,

has a project called Little Book Keeper.

They collect books and bring them to an aboriginal kampung in Sabah.

They want to share knowledge with the neglected part of our nation.

The girl in the middle, Joanne, was briefing us on the challenge.

Storytelling through beauty.

The main objective is to unleash your artsy side.

We were to choose a cause,

and do make up according to that cause.

My group chose Wildlife and nature protection.

Because I already know how to do leopard print makeup. =X

After the make up we had our photoshoot

and after that, we get to eat!! YAAAAAAY!!

And while waiting for the judges to deliberate,

I camwhored. =p

With Jennifer the flower face.

and I did a =3 smile. 

My leopard prints. ^___________^

The other two babes. Kahmon on the left, and Iris on the right. Gorgeous right? X)

I don't know the girl in the middle. =X

And that day was Iris's birthday.

Her cake was a few Subway cookies.

And she was pretending to blow out the candle coz she blew it out before I took a pic.

Our group got first prize for the mini contest.

It was really fun getting to paint on someone's face.

*smirk*

We were so awesome the camera can't fathom our awesomeness.

That's why it's blur. 

Moi, Cindy, and Kate.

I did Kate's make up. She was suppose to be a zebra. 

I donut know how to smile...

And voila. Our RM500 worth of prizes.

Had to split it 3 ways though. I ended up with stuff I dun use. XD

It was really great fun.

To know learn new things, know new people,

and paint on other people's face. XD

Thanks Yuberactive and JQ.

Please have more events like this one!!!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. If you have other causes which you want to support,

why not propose it to Yuberactive? =) 

Hair Vs Confidence

Everyone perceives hair differently. 

A lot of girls actually feel more confident with long, voluminous hair, which they would never cut short.

I always wanted voluminous, flowy, long hair, but just on the head.

Other than that,

meh,

I'll pass.

That's why, I shave, everyday.

Or every other day if I know I'm not wearing skirt or sleeveless. Because I'm lazy.

If you've never tried waxing, and is terrified to go to the parlour,

try Veet.

I never tried it until very recently.

I've only went waxing once, and I did not like it. Not one bit.

But now I never have to anymore!!

DIY waxing babeh!!

First I was quite scared of the idea of waxing again, so I asked Iris how it felt,

and she said and I quote: "it hurts, but it's the addictive type of hurt. :3"

Suddenly Iris sounds like an SM kinda person to me.

But I still got it and tried it, and suddenly... I sound like an SM kinda person to me too.

--_________________--lll

It really did hurt, but 0.5 seconds, because well, you're still pulling hair off,

but it's actually.... fun.

Coz you see all the hair stuck to the strip,

and you get the successkid.jpg look. 

Watch these videos on how to use the Veet products.

It really is as simple as it looks. 

So after removing the unwanted (leg and underarm) hair

I can feel that my skin is smoother, and unlike shaving, waxing will let you stay hairless longer.

Less worries is good!! No more shaving everyday!!

Honestly,

I'd be shy to raise my arm if I didn't shave on the underarms are...

Now, I can have more confidence to.... show off...?

Time to revamp my clothes!!

So here's how.

Turning a t-shirt into a dress

Just kidding.

That's no longer creative. It's quite old school. Google it, and you can find loads of ideas.

So, tying is so yesterday, sewing is too much work,

what do you do?

Bring out the scissors of course.

Here's the best way to vamp up your unfitting clothes,

you snip the extras off,

just like Veeting off those extra hair.

By cutting, you can have your own unique designs,

unless you stole ideas from people,

if not,

you'll get a one of a kind t-shirt in the end. 

^________________^

First,

the before T-Shirt.

Oversized "M"

Being a "quite" petite girl,

M size for men is pyjamas material to me. 

I used to have so many oversized t-shirt in highschool

I can have pyjamas for 1 month if mom quit doing the laundry.

Anyway,

time to revamp that T into something that I don't mind wearing out.

Details details details

The collar part,

with cut outs.

The sleeves cut off, excess shoulder part, cut outs.

Could not resist camwhoring!!

So here's how I'll wear it.

First,

wear it with a really cute skirt.

 Just my new cut out t-shirt,

a cute skirt, and pumps to look feminine.

I suck at doing hair so I skip that part.

Second look

Oh, look, more details. 

I cut out the hemline into a curve,

and made cut-outs along the line.

My newly revamped t-shirt is actually tuxedo themed.

The collar,

and the assymetrical hemline. 

See? Seeeeeee?

I wore the top with high-waist shorts.

or you can just wear it as a crop-top with normal cut pants

And with the cut-out details at the bottom, one can simply tie it up at the back,

and show off a little more. *cough cough*

Wear it to the beach, if you're not confident enough to wear only a bikini top,

wear this. 

Though they usually don't have mirrors and white walls hanging around, let's pretend I'm at the beach.

But all in all, to be confident is to strut your stuff,

even if you don't have the best to show off.

A little help would be better right? >__________ l

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

TeAmo- Kepong

So, 

have you heard of this new place in Kepong?

If you're a fan of bubble milk tea and natural fruit juice, 

you'll definitely love this place,
because they combine both. =)

Introducing~ teAmo!!

I'm sure most of you will go "zing" when you see "buy 1 free 1"

so go and try it while the promotion is still on.

You get to try more flavours. ^_________^

We had a few choices of drinks that day,

which include:

I like something from all of them, and you can really see and taste the pulps of orange. 

Fresh fruits and bubble milk tea,

why not right? =p 

My favourite among these would be Guava Yakult. 

Taste like those yoghurt drinks that you get from supermarket. 

It's quite thick and creamy. 

Busy preparing the waffles

I think because the waffles were prepared earlier on,

they were soft and didn't taste that nice,

but the ones that we got after that,

the freshly made ones were crispy and really good.

They use 100% milk to make the waffles.
Wafu milky is RM2.50 while the rest are RM2.90 each.

The drinks range from RM3.90 - RM7.90

If you collect ten stamps on the card,

you'll get 1 free drink!! =D

Redeem all the drinks!!

Other than the drinks and wafu,

I actually like the environment of the shop.

It's well decorated with comfortable sofas. 

2 pics above are from Jennifer's blog. 

Our Miss Sunshine who was crowned on the very same day. 

Our little Miss Sunshine

in front of the wall poster which I like alot. =) 

Get the drinks and wafu, and choose a seat to chillax at teaAmo. =)

If they opened an outlet in Subang area,

I'd visit it often.

THE PINNACLE OF H-ARTISTRY THE GLOBAL ART OF MIXING TRILOGY 2012

The finale of this year’s H-Artistry – The Global Art of Mixing Trilogy is finally here!! The super hot event will be held in the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC) in Mines Resort City this 3 November 2012 from 8.30pm onwards this time. =D

Taking party innovation to the next level, the MY Hennessy Mobile App will enable all revellers to take part in various activities within the Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone, and be rewarded with perks and benefits as they party away at H-Artistry. 

Prizes such as Hennessy V.S.O.P. bottles and bespoke My Hennessy Night party experiences will be among the rewards for party goers who come armed with the MY Hennessy Mobile App on their smart phones.

Moving into the main arena from the Hennessy Art of Mixing Zone, party goers will be in for a roller coaster ride of musical genres, styles and cultures from Korea and  Australia to the US and UK. Artists set to perform at the H-Artistry finale are: Winner of X Factor and UK’s R&B darling Alexandra Burke; world-renowned Australian DJ vixen Havana Brown, K-Pop boy band heartthrobs Block B, and Las Vegas’ edgiest DJ Starkillers a.k.a. Nick Terranova.

R&B – UK

“I'm not super human, I'm just Alexandra from North London,” says Alexandra Burke. Yes, she is indeed 'just' Alexandra Burke from North London, but she's also the 2008 winner of The X Factor, a three-time chart-topper on the singles chart (her debut, a stirring cover of Hallelujah, sold 105,000 copies on its first day of release) and the creator of a UK number 1 album, Overcome, that features collaborations with the likes of Flo Rida Ne-Yo and RedOne. She can belt out a ballad and she brings energy in abundance once the tempo shifts up a gear.

While Elephant and Let It Go both slot nicely into the current pop trend for dancefloor stompers, Heartbreak On Hold also displays Alexandra's love for 90s dance, specifically the emotional house music of Robin S or the soul-inflected dance of Soul II Soul, as heard most obviously on the heart-burstingly bittersweet title track.

  

K-POP – KOREA

Often compared to the likes of Big Bang and B1A4, Block B is known as one of the more unique K-Pop bands for their originality, talent and attitude.  Huge hits like Halo, Going Crazy and Wanna B showcase the group’s rap and vocal chops, while their on-stage presence gives them an air of respect, and at the same time portrays their fun-loving attitude; making them immensely exciting to watch.

DANCE - AUSTRALIA

DJ Havana Brown has firmly cemented herself as one of the most successful Australian DJ exports of the decade. Her impressive resume also lists support act for Lady Gaga, The Pussycat Dolls and Rihanna, and a score of exclusive VIP parties and concerts. From the official Grammy's After Party in Los Angeles alongside WILL.I.AM and Paris Hilton’s New Years Eve Party, DJ Havana Brown certainly lives up to her title of Australia’s No.1 female DJ. 

ELECTRO HOUSE – USA 

As the USA’s dance music scene continues to come of age on a widespread scale and different styles proliferate and evolve, new talents are coming thick and fast. However, only a few have the staying power to go the distance. Formerly known as Nick Terranova, Las Vegas talent Starkillers has been cutting a swathe through the bolshier end of the global house music scene over the last few years with his tough-edged, eclectic sound. 

There'll be Signature Hennessy V.S.O.P. long drinks: Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Berry, Hennessy Ginger and Hennessy Soda for you to drink and party all night long!! With the great mix of drinks and music genre, I'm sure everyone is gonna have a spanking good time. =) Take all the drinks!!!

The biggest H-Artistry parties are widely anticipated every year, especially towards the year-end season. While all revellers will be partying hard this 3 November at perhaps the biggest H-Artistry party yet, partying hard and partying smart is imperative. Be sure to fully take advantage of the FREE H-Artistry Party Shuttle or the subsidized H-Artistry Party Taxi services and be chauffeured to MIECC and back, as parking at the venue will not be available.

Complimentary mineral will be provided throughout the night, and food stalls will also be available outside the venue for everyone to recharge during and after the event.

Join in the H-Artistry finale this 3 November by watching this space for your chance to win invites: www.h-artistry.com.my. Also be sure to download the MY Hennessy App NOW from the App Store or Google Play onto your iOS and Android devices. H-Artistry is open to non-Muslims above the age of 18 only. 

This is the year which I went to the previous 2 H-Artistry parties, and next, I can't wait for 3 November to come!! Don't be shy to say hi (when you're sober!!!)

Dress to impress and party hard, but remember to enjoy Hennessy responsibly!!

Book your taxis now!!
